Chapter 470: The Humble Merchant

Hua Chi hurriedly explained to Liu He that half of this person is indeed the rule of the business field, but although this salt and iron business is also a business, it is not so simple.

Such a business like this, which is not allowed to be operated privately, has to deal with the government, and if you want to take this kind of fat difference from those officials, the price is naturally not small.

Generally speaking, this kind of thing is open in private, and businessmen who bother and work hard can only get a small head, while those officials and gentlemen who touch their mouths and even do things will take the big head.

What's more, when there is still a nineteen account, it is almost impossible to open a three-seven account like Hua Chi just said.

Hearing that there are so many things to talk about, Liu He couldn't help frowning, if he hadn't inadvertently talked about this matter with Hua Chi today, he really didn't know that those corrupt officials could get so many benefits from this.

Looking at the thoughtful Liu He, Hua Chi cautiously asked, "Brother Liu, did I say something wrong?" ”

Liu He came back to his senses at this time, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Not only are you right, but you have also made a great contribution." If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known anything about it. I borrowed money from you, for what exactly, although I didn't say, I think you can guess it. Silver is needed to fight wars, to buy weapons and horses, to fortify city defenses, and to build disasters and roads. I, Mr. Tianji, worry about these things all day long, but the officials below are sucking the blood of the people. Filial piety? Hmph, what kind of fucking filial piety is this! ”

Hua Chi sighed and said softly: "Brother Liu, this kind of thing has been the case in all dynasties. Shinong businessmen, we businessmen, are always inferior, especially in front of those who are in charge, and we never hold our heads up. ”

Liu He suddenly realized something, and asked softly, "Then ...... you to me?"

Hua Chi bit his lip lightly, plucked up the courage to say, "To be honest, at the beginning of the fight, I didn't plan to be a brother with you." You are an official, I am a businessman, you are high, and I can only bow my head to the ear, two people with such a huge difference in status, they can't even be friends, how can they become brothers? But later, I gradually found out that you are really different from those who are officials, as for the difference, I can't say, but I always feel that you have never looked down on me, and you are really willing to be a brother with me. ”

Liu He smiled with relief, but his eyes were already a little moist, "Hua Chi, let me tell you why I'm different from others." In my hometown, not only does no one look down on businessmen, but a successful businessman will also win the respect of many people. Isn't it something to be proud of to make a fortune with your shrewd mind in exchange for a better life? ”

When Hua Chi heard this, he sat there motionless as if he had been struck by lightning, with a complicated expression.

Although he has always lived a worry-free life of food and clothing, he knows in his heart that his ancestors have been businessmen for generations, and he is also a businessman, and in this world, businessmen are always inferior.

Even when he came to Chengdu, with a big backer like Liu He, he was cautious in everything, for fear that if he was not careful, he would cause some trouble.

Low self-esteem and shrewdness are the imprints left on him by the Hua family, he never thought that one day he could live with his head held high, and he didn't dare to think about it.

But today, he was told that there was a place where he would never look down on businessmen and would earn the respect of others.

Respect, what an attractive word this is, but it makes him unforgettable, only a child like him who grew up in a business family can realize that this is the most expensive and expensive thing in the world, and no amount of silver can be exchanged.

"Brother Liu, I really want to go to your hometown to have a look." Hua Chi smiled, but tears flashed in his eyes, "I want to see what that place that respects businessmen is like." ”

Liu He stood up, walked to Hua Chi's side, and gently put his hand on his shoulder, but his tone was extremely firm.

"Don't worry, in the near future, I will definitely make your Hua family the world's leading businessman, when it comes to your Hua family, everyone knows it, and most importantly, they must respect and envy you from the bottom of their hearts."

Hua Chi's eyes were filled with an unprecedented expectation, "Brother Liu, what you said is true?" ”

Liu He nodded vigorously, his eyes were extremely hot, "I know, this matter is difficult, but I believe that this day will not be too far away." If you want to make Shu strong, you must first make the people rich. At this time, it is the time for you merchants to show their strength, the business field is your battlefield, but the war is to drive the enemy out, and you want to move all the silver in the world back to Shu for me! ”

Listening to Liu He's words, Hua Chi seemed to have suddenly found his goal in life.

When I was a child, I started a business because of the teachings of my family, and because I was exposed to it since I was a child, I naturally felt that I should do that.

It wasn't until he came to Chengdu that he supported the entire Hua family alone that he realized his responsibility.

But later, as the Hua family's business became bigger and bigger, Hua Chi's heart became more and more confused.

The flower family's silver can't be spent in several lifetimes, but since it can't be spent, what's the use of asking for this silver?

But today, Hua Chi has finally found a new direction, and as long as he continues to walk in this direction, he can reach the place he wants.

Hua Chi stood up suddenly, picked up a glass of wine, and drank it all, "Brother Liu, don't worry, I know what to do!" One day, I will let all the silver in the world flow to our Yizhou! ”

With that, Hua Chi slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground.

Listening to the crisp sound of the wine glass shattering, Liu He's face also showed a happy smile.

He just wanted to praise Hua Chi a few words and boost his morale again, when he heard an angry roar from the second floor above his head.

"You two little bastards, it's not enough to talk nonsense here when you're drunk, and you dare to smash the old lady's cup! If you have the ability, don't run away, see how the old lady goes down to clean you up! ”

Liu He and Hua Chi were both excited when they heard the sound, the two glanced at each other, and tacitly ran together.

"Stop! Lose the old lady's cup! Rushing out of the Wutong Building, Sister Feng, who had already chased outside the gate, pulled her neck and shouted.

"Sister Feng, don't chase it! I'll ask someone to write another signboard and send it to you!" Liu He, who was fleeing in the wilderness, said without looking back.

Sister Feng stopped, turned her head and looked at the three crooked characters.

"Forget it, although these three words are a little ugly, after a long time, I will get used to it."

The proprietress of Wutong Building, who was holding a kitchen knife in each hand, whispered softly to herself, and her smile was extraordinarily bright.
