Chapter 33 The Concept of the New Life of the Tang Dynasty - Confucian Merchants!
"Let's continue, your plan says that the people will deposit money in the bank, and the money bank needs to give the people a certain interest, and the money bank can use the money for business or lending, I can understand this loan, that is, lending money to the people, charging a certain amount of interest, this is a matter of benefiting the country and the people, you can do it, but you can explain it in detail about this business!" Li Er rubbed his temples, and immediately Huangmen handed over new tea. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Yi gave Huangmen a look, fortunately, Huangmen gave Li Yi face, and also poured him a cup of tea, Li Yi took a sip of tea, frowned and swallowed, he has been drinking Datang's tea for more than ten years, and he is still not used to drinking it, Datang's tea is completely different from the current tea, Datang should put some green onions and ginger and other things in it when boiling tea, anyway, it tastes very strange.
"What? The virtuous nephew thinks this tea is not delicious? ”
"Yes! Really! ”
When Li Er heard this, he couldn't help but want to kick his feet. "Stinky boy, I'm a new tea shipped from the south, a good red robe, you still dislike it, do you usually drink fairy tea?"
"Uncle Li, you misunderstood, the little nephew doesn't think your tea is bad, but dislikes this way of making tea, the little nephew knows that a way of making tea is much better than this, and the little nephew will make you a cup one day!"
"Humph! You kid has a lot of tricks! Drink it quickly, drink it and talk back! ”
"Hehe, the people of the world, bustling, come for profit, go for profit. Since ancient times, merchants have been despised by the world, mainly because merchants are selling high and buying low, which is essentially competing with the people for profit, and businessmen are mostly mercenary, unscrupulous and other bad people, so businessmen are more and more despised, which is the reason why nobles do business on the unknown side. ”
"Well, that's right, go on!"
"In fact, Your Majesty, you also know that for a country, Shinong and industry can be said to be indispensable. The farmer is born, and the people take food as the sky; The main industry is built, and science and technology are strong in power; Business owners are connected, and the economy is the bloodline. In layman's terms, the role of a merchant is to make people's goods fully circulated, so that people can sell their surplus goods and buy much-needed items at any time. Moreover, there were many great sages among the merchants in ancient times, such as Zigong and Tao Zhugong. Therefore, the businessman itself should be a noble profession, but because the current businessman is too profit-oriented and forgetful, therefore, if you want to do business openly, you must give the businessman a proper name! ”
Li Er frowned. "Justification? Easier said than done! ”
"In fact, this matter is also simple, we are not improving the nature of all merchants in the world, as long as Qianzhuang has a proper reputation, and this solution is to be Confucian merchants!"
Li Er's eyes flashed. "Confucian merchants? What is a Confucian Scholar? ”
Confucian merchants, that is, the combination of "Confucianism" and "business", have both the morality and intelligence of Confucianism, and the wealth and success of businessmen, and are the models of Confucianism and the elite of the business world. Confucian merchants should pay attention to personal cultivation; integrity management; Have a high level of literacy; focus on collaboration; Have a strong sense of responsibility. Confucian businessmen have the ultimate goal of super-utilitarianism, a lofty sense of responsibility for social development, a lofty ambition and a sense of distress to save the world and help the people, and pursue success and good for the world. All in all, although the essence of Confucian merchants is to make money, every penny they make must contribute to the country and the people, not selfish, and not compete with the people. ”
"Confucian merchants? A good Confucian businessman, yes, if all the businessmen in the world are Confucian businessmen, why worry about the Tang Dynasty, hahaha, with this Confucian businessman, you can indeed solve the problem of doing business in the money village, virtuous nephew, you are really my son's house! ”
"Ahem, Uncle Li, you've drunk too much!"
"Stinky boy, you really don't have a good moral! But I'm afraid this Confucian merchant is not so easy to do! ”
"Of course, it's better to start a business group first, huh! For the time being, it is called the Business Alliance, referred to as the Business Alliance. Second, it is the development of the business alliance, now since we want to be Confucian businessmen and do not compete with the people for profit, we can't just do the things of buying high and selling low, so the operation of this alliance is a problem! Third, although this alliance is an organization that benefits the country and the people, the primary purpose of the business alliance, like the money bank, is not to participate in political affairs! Moreover, the so-called Confucian businessmen are not only to do things that benefit the country and the people, but also to have good moral character and personal accomplishment, because their every move represents the image of Confucian businessmen and Confucian businessmen, so they must set an example for the world, otherwise the Confucian businessmen are just a slogan. Therefore, the choice of participants in the business alliance, that is, shareholders, is a problem! Fourth, in the final analysis, this Confucian businessman only belongs to the alliance, how to make all the businessmen in the world Confucian businessmen is another difficult bone to gnaw. There are also a series of problems such as the management of the alliance, the relationship between the alliance and the imperial court, etc., which need to be solved step by step! ”
Li Er frowned and thought for a while, because Li Yi's words were a bit informative, especially since Li Er hadn't heard of them before.
"You mean this business alliance needs to unite some other people to do it?"
"Of course, in my conception, this alliance is mainly based on independent innovation industry, that is, inventing products independently, then forming a brand, and then selling them. For example, let's say that if I invent a fan, Shangmeng can make this fan and sell it. It seems simple, but there is a big article in it! Uncle Li, you think, to make a fan, you need labor, and if you want to take care of laborers, you have to pay them, because we can't do that thing of buying and selling slaves, so this will solve the problem of people's lives, and we need materials to make fans, that is, trees, we can let some farmers plant trees, and then we can buy them, so that we can enrich some farmers, and the fans we make, ordinary people must not be able to afford them, and those who want to buy them are those nobles, so we earn the money of those nobles, So this will form a circular economy, so that the money from the rich to us and the poor, and we by donating to the court and charity, and a large part of the money to the people, and this is just a fan to bring benefits, if we want to invent more and more complex things in the future, it will be an extremely good virtuous circle, at least can make the people quickly get rid of poverty and become rich, which is essentially different from the businessman who sells high and buys low, and is also a Confucian businessman should do something! ”
Li Yi said with a dry mouth, but Li Er was extremely excited when he heard it, his eyes were shining, and his mouth couldn't help but grin. "Circular economy, good! That's great! Nephew, are you really only fifteen years old? With this circular economy, why worry about the world not prospering, Wen Yong, I have you, very lucky! ”
Li Yi hurriedly got up and saluted. "Uncle Li has won the award, the little nephew just put forward an idea, this circular economy, Confucian businessmen, and charity and other things, it is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do, it may take a long time, so I suggested Uncle Li, let the business alliance have more participants, the so-called more people are powerful, everyone collects firewood and the flame is high, I think no matter how much profit this is, it can't compare to a rich and powerful Datang!"
"Huh. I didn't expect that I, Li Shimin, also had a time when I was taught a lesson, but the virtuous nephew you taught the right lesson, nothing can compare to the Tang Dynasty, the virtuous nephew has such a high consciousness, how can I hold you back, just listen to you, then tell me, who do you need to work together! ”
Li Yi hehe, hey, a pleasure. "Uncle Li, the little nephew has always believed in one sentence. That is, the wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the country, the wealth of the youth is the wealth of the country, the strength of the youth is the strength of the country, the independence of the youth is the independence of the country, the freedom of the youth is the freedom of the country, the progress of the youth is the progress of the country, the youth is better than the world, the Tang Dynasty is better than the world! ”
"Teenager? Yes, after a lot of juvenile theory, isn't the virtuous nephew a teenager who is better than the young people in the world? Isn't this such an earth-shattering remark, okay! Hehe, in fact, I also think that this Datang has too many smugglers, and it's time to add more burdens to them! Li Er said, hey hey!
"Oh! That's right! There is one more thing, the little nephew wants to ask His Majesty to give the name of the Shang Alliance! Li Yi obviously saw Li Er's narcissistic character, and Li Er was the most willing to do this kind of thing.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Yi finished speaking, Li Er squinted and smiled, and Li Yi who saw it felt a burst of contempt in his heart, but he still had to be respectful on his face, who called someone the boss!
"Well, the business alliance is called the Jinding Business Alliance, I hope that the Jinding Business Alliance will sprinkle the golden light all over the world and help the people."
"Jinding? Uncle Li is really powerful, my little nephew can't think of such a good name! "Li Yi really praises Li Er, this name is domineering!
"Hmph, you know how to make a fool of yourself!" Li Er scolded with a smile, but the smugness in his eyes was even a fool who could see it, it was really old.
"Where, where! The little nephew is telling the truth! ”
"Come on! Kindness! Virtuous nephew, you must do this well, you can do it boldly, I know what you are worried about, I can tell you, you will not live up to me, I will never live up to you! ”
Li Yi immediately got up and knelt on one knee. "Little nephew Li Yi thanked Your Majesty!"
"Yes! Get up! You shocked me today, you are right, this thing has to be done step by step, I have to digest it carefully and plan it. You go back first! You've been tired enough in the past two days, so take a good rest first, you'll be busy in two days, and I'm not welcome! Don't complain when the time comes! ”
"That, Uncle Li, although we are not officials, we are also doing things for you, are you going to pay me some wages?"
"Huh? Stinky boy, do you dare to ask me for wages? I haven't come back yet for the five hundred taels of gold you blackmailed Dai Chunlin in Luoyang, and you still dare to ask me for wages! Li Er picked up the fan and was about to slap it on Li Yi's face.
"Uncle Li, don't! Don't give it, don't give it! Still hands-on? It's rude! ”
"What, stinky boy, you dare to call me rude, I ....."
"Oh~ Uncle Li, I suddenly remembered, my grandmother asked me to make soy sauce for him, and the little nephew will leave first, so you don't have to send it!" Li Yi said, jumped up with a brush, covered his head, and ran out in a hurry!
Li Er was trembling by Li Yi's angry hand, and just wanted to throw the fan out, but after thinking about it, he was not reluctant, and he was so angry that he gasped!
At this moment, Li Yi's head popped in from outside the door again.
"Uncle Li, if you want to vent, just vent! Don't put up with it! It's not good for the body! After Li Yi finished speaking, he ran away, without stopping for a moment!
Li Er didn't hold back this time, and directly threw out the folds around him! After throwing it off, he began to scold, what is insulting, what is not enough and conspiracy!
Li Er deserves to be the emperor, and he scolded for a quarter of an hour, and after scolding, Li Er spread out on the bed tiredly, panting, panting, and suddenly happy! He understood Li Yi's intentions, in the past two days, he has been a little depressed by the successive news, with great joy and sorrow, ups and downs, venting like this, but it has made his mood a lot better, and even his body is comfortable!
"This stinky boy! Alas! I hope you mean it! Seriously, I'm a little reluctant! Don't break your heart! ”
"Ahem! Come on, clean up this hall, in addition, Sima Aiqing, don't remember this paragraph, it's insulting! .......”
