Chapter 53: On Trading

Jiang Hexing said: "Father-in-law, there will be no shortage of money in the family, now that my mother-in-law's canvas business is so big, among the rich businessmen in Pingzhou, it can be regarded as a rich businessman, why will even your life be sad?" ”

Zhao Guang smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, how do you know that the better your mother-in-law's business is, the more difficult it will be for me." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Now I don't even have enough money to eat by myself, and I rely on your mother-in-law to earn money. She is even more arrogant to me now, otherwise how could I go back to that Nanyang Guild Hall, and I have to pull down my face and circle around these rich businessmen. Am I refreshing and refreshing, is it bad to be my teacher? But now I don't even have the capital to be a teacher, I only have to be a teacher, and I have no money to live, what do you want me to do?

Besides, school life is difficult now, and many teachers can't open the pot at home. I know that I have money in my family, and today's teacher and tomorrow's teacher are all coming to me to borrow money, do you think I can not borrow it? But I don't have any money myself, and I still ask your mother-in-law for it. I often reach out to her, and I now feel that she is talking louder and louder, and many times I can't listen to my opinions at all.

Hey, I'm sad too. ”

Jiang Hexing said: "It's already serious to this point, why doesn't Lu Xin say it?" ”

Zhao Guangdao: "I don't think it was so serious last year, this year's price is cold and flying, you went to the Huns again, Li Xiaowen is estimated to be busy in the back, maybe this matter will be delayed." ”

Jiang Hexing said: "I will solve this as soon as possible, first make up the salary in the early stage, and then increase the income, so that the position of teacher not only has status, but also has practical benefits, otherwise there will be no talent to be a teacher, and then Pingzhou will be a big loss." ”

Zhao Guang saw that Jiang Hexing was very resolute in this regard, and it seemed that this problem would be solved soon.

Zhao Guang said: "That's fine, we must solve it as soon as possible, otherwise it is estimated that a lot of people will run." Although your mother-in-law is a businessman, I am still a scholar.

Son-in-law, there is a question that I have never understood, and lately I have been thinking repeatedly that you are from a republic thousands of miles away, and it may be different from what we think.

I found that you are very good to businessmen, the businessmen in Pingzhou make more money, collect less taxes, and set up their own chambers of commerce, and in some places it is said that the chamber of commerce can be half the master. Although you have the final say now, what will happen to Anbei in the future?

Now that the power of businessmen is getting bigger and bigger, slowly everyone doesn't know Pingzhou Mansion, or many things are not in charge of Pingzhou Mansion, but in charge of various chambers of commerce. In the future, Anbei will take over, what power will be left in his hands?

Virtuous son-in-law, you have to be serious about this matter, you can't be sloppy, even if your mother-in-law is a businessman, Anbei is also her own grandson after all. She also told me that the power of businessmen is a bit great now, although you are peaceful, but after all, Pingzhou is a place developed by you, and no one can share your power. Jiangbei is different, when the time comes, the big businessmen are rich, there is a big rich businessman in this place who can control a place, and there is a big rich businessman who controls a place.

How can Anbei's decree be issued at that time? And who will listen to him?

And now businessmen are too rich and make money too fast, and there are more and more poor people in comparison. Do you think how many refugees are in Pingzhou this year, and there are hundreds of people who come to the canvas factory. The refugees who came, it was okay to open up the wasteland and farm. Some people in big cities such as Pingzhou Mansion and Xianwu City can't find anything to do, and it's also a difficult time.

What do you think, Son-in-law, the status of a businessman is too high now, you have to take care of it, otherwise there will be big trouble in the future. ”

The more Zhao Guang spoke, the more excited he became, his voice became louder and louder, and after he finished speaking, his eyes looked at Jiang Hexing, and he wanted Jiang Hexing to give an answer as soon as possible.

Jiang Hexing picked up the teacup, took two sips of tea, turned his head to Zhao Guang and said, "Father-in-law, I think so. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the world withered, and the rule of Wenjing, what is the root cause, and the rule of inaction. Have you read Tai Shigong's "Historical Records"? ”

Zhao Guang nodded.

Jiang Hexing continued: "There is a "Biography of the Value of Goods" in the "Historical Records", look at what he said in the preface? ”

Zhao Guang walked to his desk, took out a thick book, and handed it to Jiang Hexing. The river line opens thickly

, I saw that the books inside were all the size of a fly's head. I sighed in my heart, this book seems to cost a lot of money, but it's still much better than carving with a knife.

Jiang Hexing flipped to the value of the goods, pointed with his hand and said, "Father-in-law, you will read this book." ”

Zhao Guang looked at the book with his eyes and read it in his mouth: "Taishi Gong said: Before Fu Shennong, I didn't know. Since the summer of Yu mentioned in the poems, the ears and eyes want to be very good, the mouth wants to be poor, the body is comfortable and happy, and the heart is proud of the glory of the energy. The vulgar people have been around for a long time, although they say that they will not be able to turn into a blind opinion. Therefore, the good ones are seconded to benefit the way, followed by the teachings, followed by the neatness, and the lowest ones fight with them. ”

Jiang Hexing said: "Look, Taishi Gong has read enough, right?" According to the books he could find, since Yu Xia, people have tried their best to satisfy their various desires, to listen to good things, to watch good things, to eat good things, and to use good things. People are pursuing a better life, and this custom has been around for a long time, and it seems that it cannot be resolved. So, it's best to go with the flow and let them develop freely. ”

Zhao Guang looked at the book carefully, frowned, and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, what you said has some truth. But how good the development of Pingzhou was in the past few years, and people's lives were getting better day by day. I feel that the development is thriving, and people's hearts are different. In short, people have hope and always believe that it will get better and better, but these two years have been different. Those who have money are getting richer and richer, and those who don't have money are getting harder and harder to make money. In the past, people all relied on strength to make money, and there was not much difference between everyone, but now some people make money by money, some people make money by chance, and even those who make money by strength are getting higher and higher.

The hardest thing is that we are like this, living on salary, the salary does not rise, but others are getting better and better, but we are getting worse and worse. Virtuous son-in-law, do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequality, do not suffer from poverty but suffer from anxiety, the gap is too big, but it is dangerous. ”

Jiang He said: "First of all, what is wealth and how can you have it?" I have defined wealth as a certificate that can be used for trading. For a person to be rich, he must have some kind of credential that can be traded. For example, land, gold, copper coins, grain, cloth, medicine, cattle and sheep and other practical items, and some are invisible, such as craftsmanship, the craftsmanship of farming, the craftsmanship of building houses and bridges, and the craftsmanship of treating livestock. Either you can provide something useful to someone else, or you can provide some kind of craft. So that you can survive.

The rich are nothing more than more credentials than others, such as a good veterinarian, good medical treatment, and great popularity on the grassland. The herdsmen would come to him to treat the animals, and he would become a rich man.

We used to be poor in Pingzhou, and many of us were refugees at all. In the past, they were hungry and cold, but now it's different. One by one, from the poor, relying on their own efforts, some have more land, some produce more grain, such as the mother-in-law, who is made of canvas well, and slowly became a rich businessman.

The reason why a rich person becomes a rich person is, firstly, that there are certificates that can be traded, and secondly, because of long-term continuous transactions.

Take my mother-in-law's canvas business as an example, canvas is her transaction voucher, the reason why she can make it so big is not only in Pingzhou, but now many places in the new dynasty buy this canvas. Another important one is long-term continuous trading. In the past few years, the business has not stopped, and it has been getting better and better, and it is getting bigger and bigger.

The reason why the poor are poor can also be viewed from these two aspects, transaction vouchers, continuous transactions. Those who lack that can only be poor.

Teachers are different, you have both. The proof of your teacher's transaction is knowledge, the ability to teach and educate people. Your deal is a deal with the Pingzhou Mansion, and the reason why you are having a hard time now is that the salary given by the Pingzhou Mansion that hired you is too low. The main responsibility for this lies with me, and you can rest assured, I will solve this problem in a few days.

As for what you said, "we do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequality, and we do not suffer from poverty but suffer from anxiety", I would like to share my own opinion. The inequality between the rich and the poor has never been truly resolved by successive dynasties. First of all, is this a problem or a normal phenomenon. It's like everybody likes day and doesn't like night. The problem is that where there is day, there will be night, and where there is wealth, there will be poverty. In my opinion, the gap between rich and poor is a normal phenomenon, not a problem.

As I said earlier, the difference between a rich and a poor person is the difference in tradable certificates. Except for the people hired by Pingzhou Prefecture, such as teachers, we won't talk about them. Some people can accumulate wealth quickly, while others can only survive with enough food and clothing. We still have a large area of uncultivated wasteland here in Pingzhou, and there is still a large amount of grassland to graze.

As long as you are diligent in Pingzhou, it is said that food and clothing are not difficult to solve. It's just that the current food and clothing are different from the previous food and clothing, and everyone will feel very satisfied with the food and clothing in the past, but now there are only people who have food and clothing, I am afraid that they will be sad, because other people around them are getting better and better, and some people are far out of the ranks of food and clothing.

The real concern is not about inequality, but about giving hope to the poor.

It seems that this issue needs to be started now, otherwise it will be more troublesome in the future. ”

Zhao Guangdao: "Your statement is fresh, giving hope to the poor, so what do the rich give?" ”

Jiang Hexing continued: "Give security to the rich." ”
