Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Five Masters of Man
There are many doll emperors in the history of the Han Dynasty, and it is difficult for the Son of Heaven to be alone, and it is inevitable that the imperial power will fall next to him, so it is not uncommon for relatives and eunuchs to cover the sky with one hand, including the female regent, participating in confidential and other phenomena.
Diao Chan is one of the few people who follow Guo Jia into Yizhou, and all the people in Yizhou who pay attention to Guo Jia also know that there is a Diao Chan in Guo Jia's mansion that cannot be ignored.
People who want to harm Guo Jia, as long as they buy Diao Chan, they will be able to achieve a surprise effect, and those who want to attract Guo Jia's attention, as long as they bribe Diao Chan and let Diao Chan inadvertently mention his name in front of Guo Jia, it is enough to leave traces in Guo Jia's heart, this is Diao Chan, a nominally humble little person, but he can't help but let others pay attention to it.
It is a last resort and the best choice to let Diao Chan join the Chamber of Commerce on behalf of Guo Jia, and Guo Jia can't find a second person with a delicate situation to represent him, let Zhen Jiang go? Zhen Jiang is Guo Jiazheng's wife, and she is from the Zhen family, if she goes, may not be able to dispel people's doubts and let Cai Yan go? Guo Jia said that he would not give her power, and he would not give her the opportunity to buy people's hearts.
"Do you understand?"
When Guo Jia explained the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce to Diao Chan in detail, Diao Chan was silent thoughtfully for a while.
"The slave maid only represents the general, and what he has to do is to supervise the accounts of the Chamber of Commerce and help the general pass on the news, right?"
Guo Jia showed a hint of a smile, Diao Chan can be understood at one point, saving worry and effort.
Diao Chan doesn't have to participate in business, he only needs to make achievements in the name, and help Guo Jia keep an eye on the movements in the Chamber of Commerce, and help Guo Jia pass a word to the Chamber of Commerce from time to time, after all, Guo Jia wants to use the Chamber of Commerce to make profits for the Yizhou Government, and he can't use a decree to force it, otherwise the surname of the Chamber of Commerce will change.
"However, the slave and maid are afraid that they will not do well and spoil the general's big affairs, and the slave and maid cannot afford this heavy task." Diao Chan understood that he understood, but he retreated.
Dealing with countless wealthy businessmen in Yizhou, she has no experience, second, she feels humble, and third, she is afraid that Guo Jia will be unhappy if she does something wrong, and stage fright is also human nature.
Guo Jia encouraged her and said gently: "Diao Chan, you don't have to be afraid, you don't interfere in the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, Ping said that it is still in the mansion as always, it is enough to participate when necessary, not to mention that there is also the Zhen family to assist, a Chamber of Commerce, even if it is a trouble, and me, you just need to remember that you represent me, no matter what you do, I will support you, if someone dares to despise you and oppress you, I will give you back tenfold, a hundred times, remember, everything has me, do it boldly." ”
Diao Chan smiled sweetly, and his heart was a lot more stable.
Recently, the uproar of the Chamber of Commerce has finally made substantial progress, the Yizhou Chamber of Commerce was established in Chengdu, more than 300 merchants in 14 counties have joined the Chamber of Commerce, and 14 county representatives have been elected to form the management of the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce shares business information resources, coordinates goods, and conducts commercial sales according to the demand for goods in various places in the first time, which greatly improves the efficiency and begins to target areas outside Yizhou.
After laying a good foundation for agriculture, the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce stimulated the development of the handicraft industry, and the handicraft workshops around the country had the Chamber of Commerce to purchase goods and quickly sell the finished products under the condition of information sharing.
The caravan went to the north to do business, and it was impossible for Guo Jia to transport the war horses he wanted to Yizhou in large quantities, and the caravans could only buy war horses from the horse dealers in a scattered manner.
For this situation, Guo Jia is not in a hurry, the life span of horses is generally twenty years, and war horses can be used for military use for ** years, even if the Chamber of Commerce only brings him two thousand war horses every year, it is not difficult for him to have a cavalry army of 10,000 people in the long run.
The strength of the Shi clan is in the political influence, and the dependence of the Hao clan on the Shi clan is because the Shi clan needs the material resources of the Hao clan, and the Hao clan needs the protection of the Shi clan to allow them to seek their own selfishness.
To eliminate the dependence of the Hao family on the Shi family, in addition to completely defeating the Shi family, but also to give the benefits of the Hao family, Guo Jia violated the interests of the Hao family, and then gave them benefits from other ways, both grace and power, and both criminal and moral two-pronged, only in this way, Yizhou not only the people support Guo Jia's rule, but also the local big family surnamed Hao will gradually support Guo Jia.
The various caravans of the Chamber of Commerce went from Yizhou to Jingzhou in the east and Liangzhou in the north, and the momentum was in full swing, but at this time, Qin Mi ran to Guo Jia to admonish.
Since coming to Guo Jia to be an official, Qin Mi has a clean sleeve and is dedicated to the public, and when his political views are not unified, he will argue with reason, and if others dare not say something, he also dares to come to Guo Jia and speak out, which is where Guo Jia admires Qin Mi very much.
When Qin Mi arrived, Guo Jia was holding his youngest son Guo Jin to coax him to sleep, although it was not a formal occasion, Guo Jia still had to put on some majesty, let Diao Chan carry Guo Jin back, Guo Jia tidied up his clothes, and waited for Qin Mi.
When she walked into the hall, she happened to take a look at Diao Chan, Qin Mi gave Diao Chan a salute back, and at the same time her eyes stayed on Guo Jin's face in her arms for a few more seconds.
Striding into the hall, Guo Jia signaled that he didn't have to salute, Qin Mi knelt down and sat down, but fell into silence, his expression was as calm as water, as if he was thinking about the wording.
"Ziyun, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."
Seeing Qin Mi's solemn appearance, Guo Jia was also a little surprised, thinking that it was just an ordinary business, but it seemed that there was something important.
"Lord, dare to ask if you know the details of the Yizhou Chamber of Commerce?"
Facing Qin Mi's serious expression, Guo Jia said calmly: "I know." Is there a problem with the Chamber of Commerce? ”
Could it be that there are hidden dangers in the newly established chamber of commerce?
Could an organization like the Chamber of Commerce threaten Guo Jia's rule? Yes! The united businessmen hoard goods, they can control prices, and they can affect people's livelihood. But will they do it? Do you dare to do this? This is feudal society! Those who dare to oppose the ruler will either subvert the ruler or exterminate the family! If one day the Chamber of Commerce is out of the situation that Guo Jia can control, then Guo Jia can build a Chamber of Commerce and destroy the Chamber of Commerce! It's nothing more than tearing down and starting over.
If Qin Mi was reminding Guo Jia that the Chamber of Commerce was a double-edged sword, then Guo Jia would only think that Qin Mi was worried, at least for now, the Chamber of Commerce was an existence that could bring benefits to Yizhou.
"My lord, although there are fourteen leaders in the Chamber of Commerce, but among them, Zhen Yu's influence is extraordinary, Mi implores the Lord to let the Zhen family quit the Chamber of Commerce!"
Qin Mi looked at Guo Jia with a solemn expression, and after Guo Jia pondered for a long time, he somewhat understood Qin Mi's intentions.
When Guo Jia was silent, Qin Mi explained the reason for his admonition.
"There are five pillars of the master: the minister closes his lord and says the power, the minister makes the wealth and interests of the minister, the minister does the order without permission, the minister can do the righteousness, and the minister can build the people. If the lord is closed, the lord will be out of place; If you are a vassal of wealth, the lord will lose his morality; If the minister gives orders without permission, the lord loses control; If the minister does what is right, the Lord is blind; If the minister gains the tree, the master loses the party. The reason why this person is good at it alone, and the reason why non-human ministers are also good. Zhen Yan, Zhen Yao has held an important position in Yizhou Mansion, and the lord's wife is also the daughter of the Zhen family, and now, Zhen Yu has a high status in the Chamber of Commerce, and the Zhen family is already the only family in Yizhou that is subordinate to the lord, does the lord want to let this situation develop? ”
Qin Mi's words are sincere, not to suppress dissidents, he is loyal to Guo Jia, he has a sincere heart, and he doesn't care about the gains and losses of honor and disgrace, the Zhen family is powerful, is he the only one who can see it? No, but only he came to Guo Jia for the first time.
Looking at Qin Mi in a daze, Guo Jia knew that Qin Mi still had something to say, but they knew each other.
Guo Jin!
Li Yan, Li Chang, Li Xian, this in the inheritance of the family business, the first thing to consider is to establish a son to inherit the family business, Guo Jin's birth means that Guo Jia is stronger, and the glory that the Zhen family will get after saying is more amazing.
As for why Qin Mi didn't tell Guo Jin too, because he was not qualified to make irresponsible remarks.
In the late Han Dynasty, there were too many such lessons from the past, when the relatives were powerful, the court and the scholars had to look forward, even though Guo Jia had not yet reached that height, but to prevent the slightest and strangle the hidden dangers in the cradle, Qin Mi had to remind Guo Jia.
The second son of the Zhen family, the third son is in the official, the eldest son is in business, and the official and business paths should not be underestimated, plus Zhen Jiang is Guo Jia's wife, and the development is worrying, Qin Mi knows that Guo Jia, as the head of the people, cannot pin his hopes on the loyalty of the Zhen family.
Loyalty often disappears with power and ambition!
"The trouble of ten thousand times is too heavy, and the trouble of a thousand times is too believing, and the public trouble of this person is also the public. Lord, Mi understands these truths better than me, but at this time, you can't be emotional. ”
Qin Mi is still persuading Guo Jia, hoping to reduce the power of the Zhen family, and between officials and businessmen, it is obviously lighter to cut off the Zhen family's business path, and it will not chill the Zhen family's heart.
There was another silence in the hall, and Guo Jia looked at Qin Mi with a lot of emotion in his heart.
He has Qin Mi, which makes him feel like studying history and seeing Tang Taizong have Wei Zheng.
Qin Mi's words were reasonable, but they were harsh.
"Zi Xian, I will keep your words in my heart, but you must know that although Yizhou is peaceful, the world is still in turmoil, extraordinary times, doing extraordinary things, Zhen Yu's role in the Chamber of Commerce is immeasurable, I can't suppress the Zhen family at this time."
The shadow of the famous tree, Zhen Yu is a big picture that makes merchants flock to it, and if you change others, you will not have such appeal and cohesion.
Guo Jia's words made Qin Mi sigh slightly, and he arched his hand towards Guo Jia with some loss: "Lord, if the world is peaceful, I hope that the lord can still see the situation clearly, and make a decision." ”
Guo Jia can't think about suppressing the Zhen family now, he can't even have this idea in his mind, he is recuperating, he is accumulating strength, he needs talents, he needs more people to work for him, and it is far from the time to check and balance.
But one day, the Zhen family has developed enough to threaten Guo Jia's rule, and Guo Jia will not be relentless.
If you love your son too much, you will be in danger. If the minister is too expensive, it will change hands!
