Chapter 197: Farewell to the Qilin (Part II)
"What is a pariah? The circulation of merchants can bring prosperity to the country. Although they are all for their own benefit, they bring benefits to tens of millions of people. As a businessman, you must be responsible for your own actions, and you can't sit on the ground because of profits. You can't do whatever you want because of a monopoly. Businessmen should pay attention to honesty and not profiteering. Do not let the people scold you for being treacherous or unconscientious. Even if the country is rich, it will always be spurned by the people. Liu Fan said slowly to Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping.
"Heavy agriculture, suppress Jia people". It is the concept of the ruler of this era.
The reason is related to him, Huaxia is a big country dominated by agriculture, if most people go to business, who will farm the land?
In this era, it is necessary to use huge land resources and huge agricultural forces to feed tens of millions of people. The main tax revenue of the state is not by the merchants, but by the people who cultivate the land.
Before the pre-Qin period, the status of merchants was not low, and the nobles who did business abounded, such as Fan Li, Duanmuci, and LΓΌ Buwei were all famous merchants, and each of them had a wealth that rivaled the country.
After Qin Shi Huang and Prime Minister Li Si supported commercial activities, the commerce and merchants of the Chinese feudal society fell into a situation from which they could never recover.
After the Qin Dynasty, the idea of the supremacy of royal power was constantly strengthened. Under the pressure of centralized power and the cultural mechanism of great unification, merchants were never given a place to develop freely. Businessmen also did not use their independent status to survive in the gap between the government and the people.
As a result, most businessmen have to rely on the powerful, and they have worked hard, but they are someone else's wedding dress.
Businessmen in this era are not so complicated. It is nothing more than buying and selling things, buying from the east and selling them to the west. The key is to identify business opportunities.
"Listening to your words, we are ashamed. Be sure to keep the teachings in mind. Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping saluted Liu Fan and said in unison.
They kept in mind what Liu Fan said, businessmen pursue profits and must be honest.
There is no beginning, and there is an end. People who are rich and unkind rarely end well.
"If I succeed in changing the law, I will appropriately improve the status of the businessman, and then the businessman will have more room to play...... Alas, it's just a mirror. Liu Fan thought of the situation of walking on thin ice now, and shook his head halfway through speaking.
"We merchants are all great generals, and we are the leaders of horses." Su Shuang and Zhang Shicheng said ecstatically.
In business, you have to face the deprivation of many officials layer by layer, they are the most tired, and the profits that fall into their hands are minimal.
If only the Hussar General could change this unfair law against the merchants. All the people in the world who do business will be grateful to Liu Fan.
Although, they didn't understand the meaning of Liu Fan's second half of the sentence.
"It's too early, when doing business with the Hu people, you need to remember yourself, you are Han first, and then businessmen." Liu Fan said slowly.
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping glanced at each other, a little inexplicable, I don't know why.
"My mount is called the ink unicorn, what do you think?" Liu Fan led the topic to Mo Qilin again.
"With strong legs and a huge body, this horse looks like a BMW with infinite strength and amazing endurance. Just don't know how about the short sprint ability? Su Shuang guessed in his heart.
"Although the short-distance sprint ability is good, it is not as good as the sweaty BMW that is famous for sprinting. But its endurance Northland horses are far from matching. Mo Qilin has an extremely strong temperament, and except for me, no matter how strong the ability is, he can't resist it. Liu Fan said to Su Shuang.
"A real BMW only recognizes one master in his life. The villain has also heard of it. Su Shuang replied. At the same time, I admire Liu Fan's erudition and knowledge, and even knows that BMW is good at short-distance sprints.
"A real BMW has a thousand miles to aspire to, not to be locked up in a stable all day." Liu Fan's feelings are poignant, this situation and this scene are like the twilight of a beauty and the last years of a strong man.
Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping and others were restrained and did not dare to answer.
Who would have thought of it? The hussar general, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, said so much to the lowly merchants, and there was no lack of bitterness.
"My beloved horse, delivered to you? After you arrive in Youzhou, release him to the northern jasper, the green grass, the white clouds, the blue sky, and the herds of cattle and sheep are its destination. After Liu Fan finished speaking, he turned around and left. I remembered the scene I had seen like heaven on earth.
It is a descendant of the King of Horses in Jishi Mountain, and Liu Fan prefers it to be in the pasture-rich north, galloping between the Great Xianbei Mountain and the Hanhai Sea.
Liu Fan is not afraid of accidents, as long as he is not a person with no eyes, he will not do such a violent thing as burning the qin and cooking the crane.
Hearing Liu Fan's words, Su Shuang and the others were confused. But Liu Fan's meaning, no one present did not know.
Liu Fan didn't go far, and the ink qilin turned into a black shadow and rushed over, biting Liu Fan's clothes, as if he knew that Liu Fan was going to abandon it.
Liu Fan turned around and stroked its head, looked at its big eyes full of humanity, and said with a wry smile: "Follow me, you can only be trapped in the city, I don't have time to take you to Pentium every day, you don't want to do this, otherwise you wouldn't have protested with a hunger strike." Go ahead, that's your home. Perhaps, when I finish dealing with this side of the matter, I will go to fight side by side with you. Then do not forget me! β
While Liu Fan comforted Mo Qilin, Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping and others had already run over.
Liu Fan pulled out the placket of his clothes and handed the reins to Su Shuang.
"He is leaving, and he is a seedling. The line is vigorous, and the center is shaky. Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want. Hello sky, who is this! β
"He is detached, and he is the spike of grass. The line is vigorous, and the center is drunk. Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want. Hello sky, who is this! β
"He is separated, and he is real. The line is vigorous, and the center is like choking. Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want. Hello sky, who is this! β
Liu Fan turned around and left again, unconsciously in tears. But he still sang loudly.
He quickened his pace, he was afraid that it would see, and even more afraid that others would see it.
Unsatisfactory things are often eight or nine, and they can be the same as others.
Is it not just difficult for outsiders? What's more, it's often the same as people's words?
The real predicament, the real sentimentality, the real sigh and sorrow can only be borne by one person.
Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping and others burst into tears and bowed to Liu Fan's back.
Then he led the ink unicorn and walked to the place where his horse was. The ink qilin did not resist, it seemed to read the voice of its master.
After they had walked a long way, Mo Qilin glanced back at the back.
saw Liu Fan standing hundreds of meters away.
He raised his arm and waved at it.
Looking back, it's reluctant!
Waving your hand, there is nothing you can do!
At this moment, Liu Fan truly realized that those who have lost their souls are just farewell!
