Chapter 49: On Business

Raichu nodded, and drank cautiously, because he knew the preciousness of this wine, and he knew that precious things should be tasted slowly. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Soon, Lei Qiu was impressed by this mellow taste, and couldn't help but sigh: "It is worthy of Liu Gongzi, such a fine wine is really intoxicating, and compared with this, the wine of Liangzhou is undoubtedly an egg hitting a stone, and it is vulnerable." ”

Liu Xin smiled slightly, pretending to take it for granted, "Of course, you don't look at who I am, this wine is made by my master in the Western Regions selected the best grapes, and added unique techniques and materials, and then put it into the cave to seal, after a full ninety-nine years of historical precipitation, there is this one-in-a-million wine, you are also lucky, I am the first Han person to invite wine." ”

After listening to Liu Xin's words, Lei Qiu looked at Liu Xin with an unaware expression, it turned out that this wine was so big.

Thinking of this, Lei Qiu said with a wry smile: "It seems that I just drank a sip casually, and I drank a hundred taels of gold, which is really luxurious." ”

Liu Xin smiled, picked up the wine glass and said: "Wine is a thing that has to be drunk in order to reflect its value, if it has been aged in a wine bottle, then this wine is worthless, and people are the same, you say yes, Lei Qiu." ”

Lei Qiu naturally understood the sound outside the strings, Liu Xin was using wine as a metaphor for himself, thinking that his clumsiness was undoubtedly a waste of his talent and a denial of his life value.

Lei Qiu shook his head helplessly, and learned from Liu Xin to pick up the wine glass and said: "Liu Gongzi's words are wrong, the value of this wine also depends on the wine taster, just like this grape wine, in the mouth of the elegant wine taster, it can be praised and the value can be recognized, and in the mouth of the lower riba, this wine may not be as good as a glass of water." ”

Liu Xin naturally understood, and he was also happy in his heart, it turned out that this Lei Qiu was afraid of what he was not the master.

Liu Xin picked up the wine glass and touched Lei Qiu's wine glass lightly, and then said: "I agree with your statement, there are no outsiders here, I will get straight to the point, with the wisdom of Lei Gongzi, why not ask for an official and a half position under the Huang County Order, after all, when today's son is selling official beards, even this Yizhou Thorn History can be clearly priced, with the financial resources of the Lei family, Lei Gongzi is a petty official in Chengdu City, it is also easy." ”

Lei Qiu took a sip of wine, looked at Liu Xin and said with some self-deprecation: "Liu Gongzi has just returned to the Han Dynasty from the Western Regions, and may have forgotten some of the laws of the Han Dynasty, one of which is the heavy agriculture and suppression of business, although we businessmen look very rich, but the status is extremely low, Shi Nong Industry and Commerce, we are ranked last, often exploited and suppressed by the government and the wealthy family, as a merchant child, I can't be an official, until the Son of Heaven has been gracious in the past few years, and businessmen like us have a little better, but I'll tell you the truth." , The officials of the major counties and counties in Yizhou, except for Yizhou Thorn Shi Jian, and the county where he is entrenched, are basically divided by the major wealthy families, if there is no support from the wealthy families behind them, then even if you have money, you can't buy the official position you want, so it is difficult to go out of the official road now, and it can even be said that it is more difficult to walk than Shu Road. ”

After Lei Qiu said this, Liu Xin remembered that the heavy agriculture and suppression of commerce can be said to have developed maturely in the Han Dynasty, and it has passed legislative restrictions, merchants are not allowed to wear luxurious clothes, they are not allowed to buy land, they are not allowed to ride cars or horses, the children of merchants are not allowed to be officials, and the taxes and forced labor of merchants are doubled.

In the final analysis, the status of merchants during the Han Dynasty was extremely low, they were suppressed in all aspects, and they belonged to the disadvantaged group.

Just like Liu Xin went to see Lei Tian two days ago, although it seemed that he was exchanging conditions to make Lei Tian agree to stabilize the price of grain, in fact, it was Huang Mei's name that took effect.

Lei Tian knows that the law does not blame the public, unless he unites other businessmen to raise the price together, he may be fine, but now Liu Xin comes to the door in the name of Huang Mei, if he doesn't agree, Huang Mei can find a reason to copy his home, and if he wants to save his life, he can only watch.

Therefore, Lei Tian also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey at that time, agreed to Liu Xin's conditions, and did not hesitate to reduce the price of grain to show his loyalty.

Thinking of this, Liu Xin couldn't help but sigh, China has been an agricultural civilization since ancient times, although the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of business is also the trend of the times, the developed agriculture has maintained social stability, but in the long run, the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of business has led to the continuous annexation of land by the bureaucratic landlord class, and the hierarchical ranking of agriculture and commerce has directly become that of scholars, agriculture and industry, and has lost its original positive significance.

Therefore, this is also a big reason why Lei Qiu chose to hide clumsy, as a businessman's child, it is very difficult to be an official, even if he becomes an official, he will be excluded and made difficult, so Lei Qiu feels that he might as well be a rich man in peace.

Thinking of this, Liu Xin looked at Lei Qiu's lonely eyes, and felt a little uncomfortable, all evil feudalism.

Liu Xin sighed, Chen said earnestly: "Lei Qiu, you also know that I just came back from the Western Regions, I don't think it's a good thing to focus on agriculture and suppress business, people say that businessmen don't do anything about production, heavy profits and forget righteousness, and you can get something if you don't pay, this is actually wrong, businessmen have worked hard to transfer materials from one place to another, completed the material exchanges between the two places, communicate with each other, and stabilize the market. Prices in the city began to rise; In addition, the most important role of merchants exists, that is to help the circulation of money, since the Qin Dynasty, the unification of currency, is to rely on the hands of merchants to complete the circulation conversion of currency in various regions and between various classes, if there is no merchant to help, then the economy of the entire Han Dynasty will stagnate, and the meaning of money will not exist, so I think, agriculture and commerce are all this, and the status of merchants should not be so low, suppressed everywhere! ”

Lei Qiu was stunned by Liu Xin's words, after all, Liu Xin is a descendant of the royal family, representing the highest level of the ruling class, and he can actually identify with the social existence and role of businessmen, and can also put himself in the shoes of businessmen, which Lei Qiu never expected.

Of course, Lei Qiu was shocked, but also impressed by Liu Xin's statement, Liu Xin's concept of agriculture and business is unheard of by Lei Qiu, but it is also absolutely agreed by Lei Qiu!

Thinking of this, Lei Qiu couldn't help but kneel in front of Liu Xin, and said excitedly: "Liu Gongzi is talented, listening to your words is better than reading for ten years!" Thank you Liu Gongzi for making a name for us businessmen! ”

Liu Xin smiled slightly, leaned over to help Lei Qiu, and said: "Lei Qiu, today I can also give you a promise, if he can regain the ancestral throne one day, it will definitely promote the improvement of the status of the businessman, are you willing to help me?" ”

Lei Qiu nodded fiercely, stretched out his index finger, middle finger and ring finger with his left hand, and said seriously: "Here, I, Lei Qiu, swear to heaven and earth, I am willing to serve Liu Gongzi and serve dogs and horses, and I will live up to it in this life!" If I breach the contract, the big five thunders! ”
