(For the tire brothers, for the 442 brothers, plus more, there is still at night, do you need to do a mutiny?) The merchants went away in anger, and the whole tent seemed empty.

It was not just this tent that was empty, but because of what the old man said. is the ending that stunned these literati - the biggest merchant in the world - the emperor.

At this time, everyone suddenly remembered that this sentence was extremely correct, and who was the one who pushed the emperor to the biggest businessman in the world? Everyone is already shuddering.

At this time, everyone remembered one more thing, in this world, merchants have become a powerful group, and they have become an absolute force of a dynasty in Lu Hanqiang.

I remember when I was in Suzhou, a businessman held a funeral for his wife, because there were too many people to mourn, it was no longer accommodating, and as a result, the house of Lord Shangshu opposite was forcibly demolished by the businessman's direct order to his slaves. Of course, the reasons for the forced demolition have their own reasons, but this has definitely touched the bottom line of the scholar class.

What is the result of this Shangshu lord oppressing this merchant with his official authority with his lofty habits? When he was just arrested in Yamen, the whole city went on strike, the lawsuit was brought to the Yushitai, and after everyone fully laid out their reasons, the family of Shangshu could only flee Suzhou in disgrace.

In fact, this situation is not surprising at all, and there are only two reasons.

The first point, as Lu Hanqiang often said, is that at this time it is no longer the budding of capitalism, but the explosion of capitalism, and businessmen and factory owners have come to the foreground of history and become one of the most important forces in this history, and their energy can no longer be underestimated.

Another point is this Ming system.

The Ming Dynasty stipulated that all officials must be officials in other places, and they only brought one or two retinues, and those local officials were indeed appointed by locals, and finally formed a proverb in the Ming Dynasty - the iron-beaten yamen and flowing officials, who are as immobile as a mountain for many years. It is common for a boss to wait for several generations, but it is also more common for a boss to die in a trap.

In the end, this is the case, the official can be a clean official, holding the court's money, but the small officials want to be supported by the local government, and in the end it is not the common people who support them, but the growing industrial and commercial class, and the result is that they eventually become the lackeys of these industrial and commercial classes.

The matter was reversed, and the opinions of the businessmen were conveyed or contradicted by these petty officials, and then his superiors had to accommodate these things and continue to convey or resist to their superiors, and the result can be imagined.

Lu Hanqiang's purpose is actually to serve his own interests, Lu Hanqiang is cultivating the self-confidence of businessmen in the Ming Dynasty, he is also cultivating strength for himself, to put it bluntly, in fact, Lu Hanqiang is also a businessman, but he is just an official businessman, only the businessmen of the whole world unite to form a firm force, in order to finally change the status of this class, and truly change the pattern of this world, and Lu Hanqiang has become the spokesperson of this class.

Under the continuous cultivation of Lu Hanqiang, in this Ming era, businessmen can absolutely influence the political direction of the court, because they have mastered the most basic things in the local area, which is what Lu Hanqiang is constantly striving for - Shinong Industry and Commerce, let businessmen go on the stage, although they can't stand directly on the court, but at least let the influence of businessmen affect the direction of the court, at this point, in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Liaoxi, and even Jiangnan, have begun to appear obviously, This is also the reason why today's old man rightly threw off the sleeve of the world's first governor and first superintendent.

After the old man and the businessmen walked out of the big tent angrily, they looked at the soldiers who were still hungry in the barracks, and then looked at Cheng Guoyuan who was following behind them. But he changed his original cynical and resolute attitude, and said loudly to those colleagues behind him: "We have a lot of favors from Governor Lu, now, we can't let the soldiers shed blood, sweat and tears, what we can do is not let the soldiers and brothers who are for our safety go hungry anymore." Then he arched his hand at his peers behind him and said: "They blackmailed us to donate, we resolutely disagreed, this opening cannot be opened from now on, but I have decided now that I have brought a total of 3ooo stone of food, and I am ready to donate all of it to the Fuliao Army, so that our brothers can eat a few full meals." Then he gave a loud command to the steward who followed him: "Bring all our food into the barracks, and we will donate it." Then he strode away in such a dashing manner.

Today's incident made all the businessmen feel that they were really doing a good job, so everyone replied loudly: "It's absolutely impossible for us to donate, but we are willing to send a bite of food to these brothers who shed blood and sweat for us to defend the country, and we donated." ”

So, in the torches that illuminated the heavens and the earth in the barracks, the food and non-staple food brought by these merchants rumbled into the barracks.

What is the human heart? This is the human heart, in fact, it is human nature.

However, the most intimate Shaanxi rabbit meat merchant of Lu Hanqiang did not donate, so they playfully pulled away a cart of rabbit meat, and then, on the edge of a river far away, the merchant ruthlessly ordered: 'Pour it out, and pour it out if you don't leave it.' ”

So, truckloads of smoked rabbit meat were poured into the river without hesitation.

According to the standard of the merchants' gifts, the Fuliao army was given three days of food, the smoke rose again in the camp, and the next morning, the soldiers again got the food they wanted.

However, at this time, they felt different, they only had rice and steamed buns, and did not get the rabbit meat and various vegetables that they were tired of as usual.

There is another point, the above knows that this time is a fluke, and I don't know where the food will be next time, so I don't dare to be full anymore, everyone has a bowl of gruel and a steamed bun per person.

From thrift to luxury is easy to thrift from luxury to thrift, this is the truth that the world subverts and cannot be broken, this truth, everyone originally understood it thoroughly, but at this time, everyone suddenly felt a lot, no, it should be called a deep feeling.

The soldiers who had just been making trouble all night had accumulated some dissatisfaction, and the food they got this morning was nothing more than a bowl of gruel, but there was no rabbit meat that made people vomit, and there were all kinds of vegetables.

"Where are our food standards?" This is a question that someone has intentionally or unintentionally asked the other soldiers around him when he was eating.

After this question was raised, everyone suddenly realized, yes, our food was so rich, and only that kind of food allowed everyone to have sufficient physical strength to train and kill the enemy, and if according to this standard, three meals of gruel go down, let alone kill the enemy, let alone training, even if you can stand in formation, it is already difficult for a strong man, so from that standard to such a standard, where does the money go?

So a rough man slammed his rice bowl: "If you are greedy for ink, you must have been greedy for ink by those newcomers, they are ruthlessly greedy for money between our teeth, I will never agree." ”
