Big words are for being responsible. Su Ren finally realized the evil consequences brought by the big words.

Sima Xiangru came to Chengdu for the first time, and there was nowhere to go. Su Ren invited him to live in his new home. It's not bad, the house Cui Jiuming prepared for himself is very good, secluded and enjoyable. There is a tall mulberry tree in the main yard, which meets everyone's requirements. Su Ren likes to enjoy the shade under the tree, and Leng Yue and Huo Zhilan want to learn to raise silkworms. With this tree, Su Ren can enjoy the shade, and Leng Yue and Huo Zhilan will not worry about mulberry leaves.

However, since Sima Xiangru moved in, Su Ren didn't like to go to the courtyard to drink tea. Now, Su Ren's chat partner has been replaced by Su Ma Xiangru. How can the knowledge in his stomach be dug up, many times Sima Xiangru talks eloquently, and Su Ren listens with rolling his eyes on the side. Su Ren was very uncomfortable.

On this day, the two chatted really happily. Hawking hurriedly ran in: "Big brother, Cui Fatzi sent someone to send an invitation to invite you to his shop in the afternoon, this guy didn't dare to see me, sent someone to send an invitation, when I was in Lao Junguan before, it was not like this, and I was still weak-hearted." ”

Su Ren smiled: "It's not that you scared people, it's a mess in his shop, that's a place to talk about things, go tell the people who came, and let Cui Fat bring everyone over!" ”

Hawking laughed twice, and the corners of his mouth curled: "Look at me if I don't clean him up!" ”

Sima Xiangru had been listening to the side, and when Hawking left, he asked in a hurry: "I don't know what Gongzi relies on for a living, when I saw you at the city gate that day, so many people greeted you, and the scene was quite grand." ”

"Hahaha." Su Ren laughed a few times: "Mr. didn't ask for so long, I thought that Mr. saw it, and it was a businessman below!" ”

"Merchant?" Sima Xiangru was dizzy. Although the Han Dynasty has not yet reached the time of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, as a Confucian master, he looks down on merchants from the heart.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh! Nothing! Looking at Childe's big formation, it must be the rich side, right? ”

"It's not so exaggerated, it's just that some famous halls have been made in Wenshui County, and this time it is too guarded to conquer and relieve, and the love between teachers and students is difficult to give up, so I came to Chengdu."

"What is Taishou looking for?"

"This is said, the world's agriculture and industry, indispensable, although the businessmen pursue profits, but can not be without, otherwise how to sell those good silks in my Shu? If silk is not produced, how can silkworm farmers make a profit? Silkworm farmers are not profitable, and the government has no taxes; If there is no tax on the government, how will the imperial court operate, and will it not be a great chaos in the world at that time? ”

Sima Xiangru had already begun to sway. Su Ren went from Shangjia to the court, at first glance, he felt a little strange, but he couldn't find any flaws.

Su Ren smiled: "Mr. is a Confucian student, Confucianism emphasizes agriculture and represses business, stresses self-sufficiency, I don't ask Mr. to understand my theory, look at it, maybe Mr. has been in contact for a long time, and my words will be understood." ”

"I hope so!"

Sima Xiangru did not argue for the first time, got up, and walked to his room while pondering.

Huang Shisan stared at Sima Xiangru's back and said to Su Ren: "Sir, this guy seems to look down on us!" ”

"It's not surprising that people all over the world think that businessmen are profitable, and they don't understand the importance of business, maybe after hundreds of thousands of years, they will understand that the impact is not achieved overnight, it has to be gradual, and if he wants to listen to it in the future, let him listen, you don't care about him!"

"Got it!"

In the afternoon, Cui Jiuming came to Su Ren's house with a generous gift. As soon as he entered the door, he looked left and right, but he didn't find Hawking, so he rushed into the living room. Seeing Su Ren, he hurriedly presented the gift list.

Su Ren smiled when he saw it: "Why are you so polite, the children are messing around, are you still serious?" ”

"Hey! is wrong, if others rely on it, it will be relied on, our Huo brother can't afford to provoke it! ”

"Who can't afford to mess with?" Hawking came in through the door. Cui Jiuming hurriedly hid behind Su Ren in fright.

Su Ren stopped Hawking and threw the gift list to Hawking: "It's almost enough!" Mr. Cui didn't mean it, this matter ends here, if you care about it, I'll clean you up! ”

"Humph!" Hawking sneered, opened the gift list and looked at it carefully. After he finished reading, he said: "Since the eldest brother has spoken, this matter will be stopped, and there will be a next time, and the new and old accounts will be settled together!" ”

"Thank you, Brother Huo, for a lot of them, there will never be a next time!"

The businessmen all fell one after another, and Su Ren really found Sima Xiangru's figure on the outside. A group of people surrounded Su Ren in the middle and officially began to discuss the establishment of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce. Prior to this, Cui Jiuming had already come up with a plan for Su Ren to see.

Su Ren got straight to the point: "I have read Mr. Cui's plan, there is no problem in general, I only emphasize one point, since the establishment of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, then we are a family, everything must be based on the interests of the Chamber of Commerce, don't always play your own small abacus, only when the Chamber of Commerce is bigger, everyone's money will earn more and more, if someone does not respect the rules, then blame the Chamber of Commerce for being ruthless." ”

"I can take out my business route in Yelang, you all have a chance to go, but there is one thing I have to make clear, my business in Yelang, making money is secondary, and there is another important purpose, if any of you can see it, although follow me, but you can't do bad things, this is my bottom line."

"As for the position of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, I am not suitable, I came to Chengdu to serve the Taishou expedition, I don't know what the Taishou will let me do, at least I will show people as an official, so I propose that Mr. Cui serve as the president, we will meet here every month, what is there to discuss, the contradiction can also be said, say it in this place, no one will pursue it, and private ambitions are absolutely not allowed."

"By the way, I am going to tell you that after a while, I will first send people to the Qiang people's places to go around, as well as South Vietnam, as well as those small and large countries in our south, do not seek to do anything, just to open up trade routes, you can also participate, everyone who participates, will have a share, this is my opinion, as for other things, you can discuss it yourself."

"The last one, the Chamber of Commerce at the beginning, there will definitely be all kinds of problems, extraordinary times, everyone take a step back, can not hurt the peace, our Chamber of Commerce to adopt the principle of voluntariness, willing to join the hands welcome, want to quit is not forced, in a word, since joining the Chamber of Commerce, everyone will form a group, a glory and a loss!"

made an opening remark, Su Ren stopped talking, drinking tea and napping by himself, listening to a group of people chattering. They are all veterans of business, and they are also Cui Jiuming's carefully selected cronies, and unity can still be guaranteed.

Su Ren didn't care about these people and the Cui family, he believed that it wouldn't be long before the new recruits would gradually dilute the Cui family's influence in the Chamber of Commerce.

After arguing all afternoon, Sima Xiangru listened quietly all afternoon. At first he heard a quarrel between merchants over their own interests, but then the taste was different. It seems that these people are arguing, but they do not involve the exploitation of the people, but discuss the ideas that Su Ren put forward to the surrounding barbarians.

The shopkeeper of the cloth shop shouted loudly to increase his quota in the Qiang trade routes. He thinks that what the Qiang people lack is the beautiful linen cloth of our Han Dynasty, and his linen cloth can be exchanged for the war horses of the Qiang people, and then sold to the imperial court, which will inevitably make a huge profit.

The proprietor of the pharmacy quarreled over an increase in quotas on the South Vietnamese trade routes. He believed that the South Vietnamese barbarians lacked medicine and could use his medicine in exchange for animal skins and iron ore in South Vietnam, which was also a treasure that the Han Dynasty urgently needed, and would definitely make a fortune.

The silk merchant and the potter quarreled over increasing the quota for the Yoro trade route. They thought that the people of Yoro were rich and would like beautiful silk and fine pottery, and that they could exchange a large amount of grain from Yoro, and that they would be able to make several times more profit at the current price of grain.

The more Sima Xiangru listened, the more excited he became. He saw in these businessmen the responsibility to the country and to the community. The more he listened to it, the faster his heart beat faster, and sometimes he was thinking about how happy the imperial court would be when the things that those merchants said were transported back to the Han Dynasty, and how many fewer Han children would die on the frontier.

Su Ren handed Sima Xiangru a cup of tea: "Taste it, this is what I made in warm water, it is an ordinary grass, and now the price in Yelang is more than gold, and the dignitaries of Yelang use him to entertain VIPs!" ”

Sima Xiangru smiled slightly, took the tea bowl, and took a sip gently. It was the thing he had been drinking in the courtyard with Su Ren these days. It was a little bitter at first, then sweet and fragrant. He had studied herbs and tried to cook them, adding all kinds of spices and precious ingredients, and he found it difficult to swallow what he came up with.

Sima Xiangru smiled slightly: "It seems that I still underestimate the power of Shangjia." ”

Su Ren nodded: "There was once a sage who said that the exploration of unknown regions always starts with commerce, as long as the businessman goes, it is my king!" ”

Sima Xiangru recalled Su Ren's words. The more the tea in his mouth tasted, the more he tasted, and he suddenly opened his eyes: "Su Gongzi, I want to stay and take a look first, I wonder if Su Gongzi can arrange a seat for him in the Chamber of Commerce?" ”

"Okay! I can't ask for it, it's all a group of big bosses, and having a Confucian discipline like Mr. can also reduce a lot of trouble! ”

Su Ren stood up, snapped, and clapped his palms twice: "Everyone, I have one thing to say, you can put forward your opinions, our Chamber of Commerce was initially established, and many things have to start, but unfortunately there are not many literate people among us, I propose that Mr. Sima serve as the secretary general, coordinate all parties, as Mr. Cui's assistant, Mr. Sima is a great Confucian, rich in five cars, with him and I to assist Mr. Cui, I believe that our Chamber of Commerce will have a bright future!" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and then collectively turned their heads to look at Sima Xiangru who was sitting at the end. I don't know how to answer.

Cui Jiuming, the president, was let out by Su Ren, and it would not be good if he refuted Su Ren's face in this matter. He didn't believe that a Confucian student could play any role in the Chamber of Commerce, since it was Su Ren's suggestion, he pushed the boat along the way: "The person recommended by Mr. will naturally not be wrong, since Mr. Sima is willing to come, we welcome it!" ”

Everyone immediately applauded, but Sima Xiangru was a little restrained, and kept giving gifts: "Everyone carry love!" "I really can't figure out what this secretary general is doing.
