Chapter 50: I Am a Merchant

"Uh...... This one...... To tell the truth, I want to ask the guests to leave some objects of the Heavenly Empire for the next day, so that they can observe every day in the future and feel the breath of the Celestial Empire. ”

As soon as Heifeng's voice fell, everyone was blinded, what do you mean?

Seeing that a few people didn't speak, Hei Feng gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, it's not for nothing, it just so happens that there is still some small money on you, if you don't look down on these money, you can also exchange it with my Qu Zhi specialties." ”

Looking at Hei Feng's sincere eyes, Xiang Gong subconsciously had some illusions, this body type, this routine, could it be the legendary businessman?

"Well, you mean, you want to buy something from us from Datang? But we didn't have any goods with us! Xiang Gong asked tentatively.

Hei Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, and nodded again and again, but suddenly his eyes rolled and he shook his head again and again.

Xiang Gong couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Are you buying or not buying?" ”

"Buy, of course I bought it, but I don't want to buy any goods in the next place, the things of the Tang Dynasty are ingenious and expensive, and in my Quzhi, basically only the princes and nobles can afford it."

Hei Feng's face instantly darkened, but he suddenly changed his words and said: "I just want something that you don't use, something that is relatively old, or something of little value, as long as it is Datang's, you want it!" ”

When everyone heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded, Xiang Gong was circled, but they heard General Yin laugh and said: "It's been a long time, it's a tattered harvest!" ”

When General Yin said this, Hei Feng also smiled embarrassedly, and then said, "Well, I'm actually a businessman. ”

Xiang Gong was stunned, this ...... This scene, this sentence, why is it so familiar?

General Yin didn't give up, hugged his stomach and said, "That's not a tattered businessman?" ”

The laughter showed no signs of stopping, and the black wind became more and more embarrassed, but said stubbornly: "I am a businessman. ”

General Yin seemed to be made angry by Hei Feng's truthfulness, and he was about to fight back, but Xiang Gong saw that this was not a problem, and hurriedly stopped it.

"Lao Yindang, it's over, there is no nobility in the profession, the personality is high and low, Uncle Heifeng's approach is actually quite in line with the true meaning of the word business, Xiang Gong admires."

The little white dragon originally came out of the Guanyin Zen Temple, so he held his breath and suppressed his anger for a long time, and finally broke out at this time.

"Heh, a tattered one, what is the true meaning of business, why haven't I heard of it? Isn't it just buying and selling? What's the big deal? ”

Xiang Gong couldn't help but shake his head when he saw it, it seems that businessmen were really looked down upon in ancient times!

In ancient times, there were four people, Shinong industry and commerce, and the pillar of the country.

Although the four people were collectively known as the pillars of the country, Shang was ranked last, which was also caused by the social situation at that time.

Needless to say, before the emergence of the imperial examination system, scholars were basically aristocrats, or exchanged blood, sweat and life for military merit and sought prominence.

Under the social and economic conditions of self-sufficiency, farmers have not only agricultural production technology, but also land and other agricultural production materials, and there are two seasons of agricultural leisure time a year.

As those who have lost the means of production, especially the most important land, the workers have production skills, so they have no choice but to work for others to make a living, and naturally envy the peasants for having their own land.

The saddest thing is business, which is undoubtedly very different from the modern situation, in ancient times there were rich businessmen, but in the eyes of ordinary people, business is a helpless choice.

First of all, the biggest restriction is the traffic problem, at that time, most of the places where certain items were scarce were also the most inconvenient places for transportation, and the circulation of some daily necessities took a very long time.

The second is the security issue, as a businessman, in the case of inconvenient transportation, often go out for more than half a year, and there are many bandits and bandits on the road, and they are likely to die in other places.

The other three people can rely on their own skills, find a fixed place, work with peace of mind, and support themselves and their families, but the businessmen have to eat and sleep outside, which can be described as extremely bitter compared with the other three people.

Although this situation has been alleviated in a commercially developed dynasty like the Tang Dynasty, it is a pity that the general consensus of people for more than a thousand years is still deep-rooted, and Shangjia is still the lowest class among the four people.

However, it does not rule out that those scholars who have been exposed to it since childhood, think that they are noble, do not think much of this kind of opportunistic ability, and understand that they have been misinterpreted, resulting in false rumors.

Xiang Gong originally had no intention of arguing with General Yin, but seeing General Yin rolling up his sleeves and leaking his arms, he had an endless posture.

Xiang Gong will take them on a journey of 108,000 miles in the future, if their authority is challenged, and they still cower, how will they be their spiritual leader?

"Business, it is indeed buying and selling, but even the sages have never questioned its importance, and even joined the business, and finally became rich and rivaled the country, which is also a fact, how can our descendants comment on it?"

Xiang Gong is neither humble nor arrogant, does he not want the atmosphere to be too tense and talk about it, with the knowledge of modern people, wouldn't it be a shame to lose to the ancients?

The important thing is that Xiang Gong is likely to do some reselling and reselling in the future, after all, such a large number of people have to be fed, and only when they have financial power can they have the right to speak.

Especially with the little white dragon, how can you talk a lot, and let the little white dragon suffer with yourself, a man has to carry something on his shoulders to grow up.

"What sage, why haven't I heard of it? God babble! General Yin was still unconvinced, and said disdainfully.

"Does Fan Li know? In that year, he assisted the king of Yue to destroy Wu, and then retreated bravely, went to the country of Qi, and accumulated thousands of family fortunes in the country of Qi for a few years.

The king of Qi found out his true identity, invited him into the kingdom, and wanted to be a marquis and worship the prime minister, but Fan Li was afraid that the tree would be a big wind, and he had a good reputation for a long time, which was not a good omen, so he fled.

Settled in the pottery land, God gave it time, but for a few years, and accumulated the wealth of the enemy country, but soon scattered the wealth, and finally boated on the five lakes, drifted away.

Fan Li can be said to be loyal to defend the country, wisdom can protect himself, and business can get rich, such a great military strategist and politician, is it not the same to engage in business? And being named a business saint, you won't know it, right? ”

Xiang Gong casually gave an example, General Yin was speechless, looked at Xiang Gong who was light and breezy in embarrassment, and couldn't help frowning and said: "People are businessmen, but they don't collect rags, hum!" ”

Hearing that General Yin was still stiff in his mouth, Xiang Gong couldn't help but shake his head, it seems that he really didn't shed tears when he saw the coffin, Xiang Gong mentioned Fan Li, how could he just tell General Yin that ancient celebrities also had businessmen?

Of course, you have to have extraordinary insight to lead an extraordinary team, and what Xiang Gong brings is not the mortal version of the thief Sun Wukong and General Yin, or the beautiful version of Bai Fumei Little White Dragon.

Such a strange team, if there is no understanding beyond ordinary people, how can it get mixed up?
