In the county hall of Moling, everyone's eyes flashed with scorching light, staring at Sun Quan's figure, one by one a little silent, with hideous faces, and quietly.

Every word of Sun Quan seemed to be spoken into the deepest part of their hearts.

Today, the merchants who can sit here in the lobby are basically the merchants who have thousands of properties as family members, even in troubled times, their wealth can keep the family eating and drinking, but they have to admit one thing, they are still the most humble group of people in the world.

Not only the peasants, but even the children of the scholar clan who were so down-and-out that they couldn't even eat could look down on them.

This is a kind of social status represented by the system of Shinong industry and commerce for thousands of years, no matter how shrewd they are, they know how to make money, and no matter how much wealth they make, they are still the people with the lowest status in the world, and wealth cannot change their status.

That's right, they are desperate in their hearts, and if they want to rebel against this system, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream for them, and they will even let the powerful forces of the family beat them to death with a stick.

But what Sun Quan said was not wrong, if they didn't do anything, then they would never be able to turn over forever.

Generations of lowliness!

"Remember, you will always be a merchant, and if we try, there may still be a chance to resist, but if we don't try, you will only be burdened with the most humble merchant status for the rest of your life."

"Even if you have a huge amount of wealth in your hands, you can only survive!"

"Even your children and grandchildren, who are businessmen, will never be able to hold their heads up and be human beings."

Sun Quan stood in the middle, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, sweeping over the faces, and his heart was cold, he just used the most ugly words to provoke these merchants who had been suppressed and some of them were submissive.

A person, if they are accustomed to being humble, then they have a mentality of being at ease with the situation, they have lost the blood in their hearts, and they have no will to resist, Sun Quan knows that only by stirring up the fighting spirit in their hearts can they unite and lay a position for the business.

"Gongzi Quan, we naturally don't want to be a turtle with a shrunken head for a lifetime, but you should know that in Jiangdong, those powerful forces of the family, if they make a move, we merchants will not be able to resist at all."

After the silence, a middle-aged man took a step, his face was gloomy, his eyes were cold, he shook his head, and said in a low voice.

"It's better to die than to live!"

"The Jiangdong family can even resist the General's Mansion, the powerful control the fields and population, and the General's Mansion must also be afraid of three points, how can we fight against them!"

"It's a bit whimsical!"

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I have a weak heart!"

Sun Quan ignored a reason, the merchants have been oppressed by the powerful class over the years, and their instinctive fear has made them unable to take that step.

Everything is easy to discuss, but when it comes to fighting against these powerful families, they always lack confidence in their hearts.

To put it mildly, instinctively afraid.

"You must understand that any reform will damage the interests of some people and the status of some people, so once the merchant alliance is formed, it will inevitably usher in the blow of the family, which is not denied, and it is normal for you to be afraid, but if you don't think about yourself, should you also think about future generations."

The corners of Sun Quan's mouth outlined a trace of coldness, and he said sarcastically: "Is it that there is a big mountain pressing on top of your heads over the years, so that you have become accustomed to kneeling and being a man?" ”

"Gongzi Quan, how can you hurt people, we are all seven-foot men, although we are not looked up to, but we are also standing up straight, when will you kneel and be a man?"

When everyone heard this, their faces turned a little red, and a young man couldn't hold his breath, and suddenly stood up, his face was angry, and he said indignantly.

"Isn't it?"

Sun Quan looked at him and asked with a sneer: "No matter when and where, you are all shorter than others, not kneeling to be a man, what is it?" When have you ever straightened your back? ”

"Me?"

This young man is a giant merchant in Danyang Yuanling, so he is naturally a little arrogant, but when he thinks of the people who have always bowed to those children of the scholar clan all these years, when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't speak, and some handsome faces looked depressed and gloomy.

The merchants were also a little frustrated, Sun Quan was not wrong, they have not been able to figure themselves all these years, and they are indeed nodding to the people of the scholar class to survive.

"Gongzi Quan, we are just merchants, and the status of businessmen has been humble since ancient times, if we want to live, what can we do?" One of them sighed and looked at the unwilling Dao.

"It's not like a businessman hasn't had a hero!"

Sun Quan said coldly: "Fan Li of the Warring States and Lu Buwei of the Qin Dynasty, they are not just a businessman, but they can do it to the government and the opposition, can you say that businessmen are useless?" ”

Fan Li, a celebrity in Jiangdong, is known as a saint of business, and is definitely a spirit in the business world.

"Quan Gongzi, let's not talk about the ancients, let's say that we are the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty has been four hundred years, the only respect for Confucianism, generations, businessmen have no status, it is not easy for us to survive in this environment, in the face of the family gate, naturally there is no confidence in confrontation, but you are right, we don't want the children and grandchildren of the future generations to continue to repeat what happened to us, if the son has a plan, can you say it."

The giant businessman of Wu County, the head of the Wu family, a businessman who has been supported by Sun Quan all these years, he is a steady middle-aged man, in the face of Sun Quan's evil words, although he is indeed a little ashamed in his heart, but he still calms down, he takes a deep breath, his eyes are burning, and he asks.

"If it's feasible, I don't mind joining forces with Gongzi Quan for the sake of his status as a businessman!" The old man Xu of Lujiang also burst out with a glimmer of light in his eyes, and added.

He is already a sixtieth year, and if he spells a qiē and can raise his head and be a man for future generations, he will not object.

"There is a plan!"

When Sun Quan heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a satisfied smile, and his words still knocked on the hearts of these shrewd and slippery businessmen, which was the first successful step.

"The Han Dynasty respects Confucianism alone, and businessmen have no status, so we want to change the status quo, not overnight, things have to be done slowly, step by step, but we must do one thing first!"

Sun Quan's eyes were scorching, and a bright light swept through, and he said firmly: "Unity!" ”

"Those of us in the business world are originally a weak group of people, if we can no longer unite our forces together, we can only be suppressed by the powerful class one by one, and in the end we are still overpowered, we can only condense together, in order to make us better survive, in order to resist this system!" Sun Quan's voice can be uplifting.

"How does Gongzi want us to be condensed?"

The first rich man who has been silent, Mi Jia Mi Zhu suddenly asked.

"It's easy!"

Sun Quan waved his hand, and the two people behind him, Xu Shu and Xu Shan, stood up and handed the documents in their hands to each merchant, and then he continued: "As merchants, we form an offensive and defensive alliance, support each other, and form an alliance dominated by merchants to revitalize the business road." ”

He pointed to the document that everyone was looking at, and said: "This is the constitution of the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce that I cǎo discussed, you guys read it carefully, if you are willing to join the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce, you will sign it, draw it, and you will be a member of the Chamber of Commerce in the future, as a member of the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce, even if you are suppressed by the powerful family, as long as one party is in trouble, we will support from all sides, and whoever wants to hit us, we will fight back." ”

"How do you call back?" Someone asked.

"What's a merchant's greatest weapon? It is wealth, and we will play the status of a businessman with strong financial resources! ”

Sun Quan's self-confidence has infected the confidence of many people.

"Koto Chamber of Commerce?"

"One side is in trouble, and all sides are supporting?"

"Offensive and defensive alliances?"

"Joint?"

"Playing with financial resources?"

There was an uproar in the lobby, all the merchants had been amazed by Sun Quan's generosity, for thousands of years, there were not no outstanding merchants, but no one has ever been able to open the status of merchants with financial resources.

"You have to remember that you are businessmen, proud businessmen, the world is bustling for profit, the world is bustling for profit, as long as we can tell the people of the world that the benefits brought by our businessmen to the world are no less than the so-called scholars, we can improve our status in front of the people of the world!"

Sun Quan looked at a group of hesitant merchant predators, and added categorically: "I, Jiangdong Sun Zhongmou, will become the first president of the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce, and I will advance and retreat together with you, as long as I, Sun Zhongmou, do not die, I will stand at the forefront of you, and I can block the pressure from the government for all of you, so that your financial resources can show your strength." ”

"Gongzi Quan's words are true!"

Say a thousand, say 10,000, no matter how much Sun Quan says, for them, there is no excitement from this sentence, Sun Quan is not an ordinary person, now in Jiangdong, he is a giant, up to the heavens, and has his own family in the General's Mansion.

If Sun Quan can become the support of these merchants, they do have some confidence to fight this system of agriculture and commerce that has been maintained for thousands of years.

"It is Sun Zhongmou, every sentence is true, there is no falsehood!"

Sun Quan showed a firm smile on his face, and said: "I am standing here today, I have already expressed my position to you, and now you have expressed my position, and I am willing to join the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Join!"

The first to express his position was Mi Zhu, who came to Jiangdong from Xuzhou, perhaps for such an opportunity, he was heroic and courageous, and he was willing to gamble on an opportunity with the wealth of the Mi family.

"Childe is not a businessman, and he is willing to stand up for us, how can he retreat, the Wu family of Wu County joins and fully supports the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce!"

The head of the Wu family said firmly, the Wu family was originally a small businessman, when he was in Chang'an, he befriended Sun Quan, these years, Sun Quan with their support has spared no effort, and now it has become one of the giant businessmen in Wu County.

"Fight for the old decay!" Old Man Xu's eyes burst into flames, and he said.
