"Good! Teach a man to fish, not to teach him to fish! Good! ”

Hearing his son-in-law say this, Baekyu was very, very satisfied.

After being excited, I couldn't help but pick up my wine glass and drink it all. Putting down his glass, he smiled bitterly again. What kind of alcohol do you drink? There was only a little bit of wine in the wine glass just now. What about drinking it all in one go?

If you drink it all, it's a pleasure!

Zhuangzi reached over and grabbed the wine jug, only to find that there didn't seem to be much wine in the jug. Pouring all the wine into the old man's glass, he looked at the old man and waited for him to speak.

Right now! He was even more interested in his father-in-law.

Taoist people are like this, the more familiar and understanding they are with a person, the more willing they are to get close to him. Of course! This is for people who are considered trustworthy. If there are people who have problems with their thinking and morality, they will be in a hurry. I thought to myself: how can I get rid of this guy's entanglement?

This kind of person! Ghosts dare to deal with him!

People who can't give people peace of mind, if they are met by Taoists, they will only avoid them!

Otherwise? How can there be a classic quotation of "the voice of chickens and dogs hear each other, and the old and the dead do not get along"?

Can't afford to provoke Lao Tzu and can't hide?

Seeing his baby son-in-law looking at him, Bai Gui shook his head and smiled: "I don't leave my property to my children and grandchildren, I give it back to strangers?" I still give those hereditary nobles and kings to let them be extravagant and rotten? "The chapter of 潶し言し格 intoxication has been uploaded

"The key?" Zhuangzi asked puzzledly, "What are you going to do with so much wealth?" You? You say you? You've put this on the line with your life! You say you? Alas? ”

"What's the matter? What thoughts? Down? The old man asked.

"If it were me, I wouldn't do that! Why would I risk my life to do such meaningless things? What am I going to do with all that much wealth? How much can I spend in my lifetime alone? How much can I eat in a day? Isn't it? If you're dead, you can't take it away! Isn't it? ”

"If I don't earn this money, others will come to earn this money! Familiar with the road, so! I earned it! ”

What Bai Gyu said was the sale of grain, grass, military supplies, and mining. If he doesn't earn this kind of money, someone will earn it.

He is not the only one who does this business. He Bai Gui is only the largest dealer, and the first person who can do this kind of business among the various vassal states of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Other traffickers are just doing business in a certain area and within a certain area. So! There is no comparison between the two.

Furthermore! He has opened up this road, and only he can do this business comprehensively. If you want food, I can give you food. You want iron, I can give you iron. You want a tank, I can give it to you. You want horses, I can give you them.

During the Warring States period, the horse business was the most difficult.

Horses belong to war materials, and the control of horses by various vassal states is very strict. And also! Horses are bred in the north. Furthermore! Horses are inconvenient to transport and too conspicuous. They often resorted to covert methods of transporting horses to other vassal states. They disguised their horses as transport horses and carried goods through the customs. And then! The horse didn't look back. When the princes and kings of passing countries track it down, there will be corrupt officials below, and the matter will be over.

"It's not something you can't earn!" Zhuangzi said with some reproach: "The point is that you indirectly support the war!" ”

"This, this, this?" When Bai Gui heard this, he suddenly couldn't get off the stage.

"Me, me, me? How did I become a supporter of the war? ”

"If you don't provide military supplies to others, where can they fight? Isn't it? ”

"This, this, this? I'm a businessman! ”

"In those war-torn countries, neither gold nor silver is worth much, but the most valuable thing is grain and grass! This is followed by other military supplies. When war comes, it is common to spend all the gold and silver in the stock to buy grain, grass and other military supplies. They believed that as long as they were victorious, they could get it back from the defeated country. If it is defeated, it will be regarded as the destruction of the country, and if the country is destroyed, there will be nothing.

And you businessmen, you put profit first. Gold and silver are wealth to you. Gold and silver are common goods in the world, and gold and silver are worthless in one country, but they are worth more in another. So! Take advantage of the war and make a great profit.

You say you are a businessman, and a businessman aims to make a profit. But? Didn't you think about it? You? Are you indirectly supporting the war and making money from it? ”

After Zhuangzi finished speaking, he spread his hands towards the old man. As if asking, "Isn't it?" Isn't it? ”

"No, it's not! No! ”

Bai Gui was anxious, and waved his hand again and again: "Son-in-law! Son-in-law! That's not what I intended! That's not what I intended! ”

"Not what you intended?"

"It's not! No! Bai Gui was so anxious that he looked at Zhuangzi with pleading eyes, hoping that Zhuangzi would understand him and listen to his explanation.

"Without me as a merchant, annexation wars between vassal states would have happened! I'm telling you! It's not because of me as a businessman that there is a war. No! Son-in-law! I, as a businessman, see benefits! I have the goods on hand, and I want to sell them. Naturally, whoever gives the highest price will sell it to whomever I want, isn't that the truth?

I really didn't take into account the consequences of war in this way!

But? I'm a businessman, I can't stop the war, right?

Even if I don't sell it directly to the princes and kings, someone will buy it from me and resell it to the princes and kings of the warring countries.

Son-in-law? Isn't that the truth? It's just that! One is direct! One is indirect! I'm a businessman, so I naturally think about it from the perspective of interests and sell it directly to the other party. And! I sold it at a lower price than I did in the past! You said? Am I indirectly supporting the war? I? ”

"Anyway! You can't do business in this area! ”

"Can't say? There are no businesses in the world, right? ”

"If we can stop the war and prevent it from happening, what if there is no business in the world?"

"But? Without merchants, the market is out of circulation, how can we live? Where does salt come from? Where do we get some of the necessities of life from? This, this, this? How can you do it without a businessman? ”

Zhuangzi did not criticize the old man anymore, and continued to debate the affairs of the merchants. Just asked, "Lord Yue?" How did you come up with the idea of abandoning politics and business? ”

"Alas!" Bai Gui sighed and said, "Son-in-law! You've got the point! How did I abandon politics and business in the first place? I'm telling you! I'm just like you! I'm trying to save the world financially! Use economic means to save the world and save the world! I? Alas! But I failed! Son-in-law ......"
