Lu Buwei wanted to show his erudite side and win Zhao Ji's favor today, however, the appearance of Qin Yiren made him farther and farther away from this goal, and he was extremely unhappy.

He knows everything about Qin Yiren, Qin Yiren is really a good player Qin Zheng, if he is allowed to show it, he will have a hard time. Once the two stick together, God knows what will happen?

Lu Buwei was about to stop it, but he saw Zhao Ji smiling extremely happily, and ordered the maid, "Qin Zheng." ”

The maid responded, and floated away like a butterfly wearing flowers, and Lu Buwei sighed.

Qin Yiren was extremely satisfied with Zhao Ji's reaction, raised his chin at Lu Buwei provocatively, and asked with a smile: "Zhao Ji, why do you like Qin Zheng?" ”

is no longer called a girl, but Zhao Ji, and the relationship between the two has become a lot closer all of a sudden.

"I'm from Zhao Qin." Zhao Ji replied crisply.

"Zhao Qinren?" Qin Yiren was very surprised, his eyes widened, and he laughed: "I really didn't expect that we would have the same roots, and we will be fortunate to meet each other." ”

"Hee-hee!" Zhao Ji smiled sweetly.

Lu Buwei saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to kick Qin Yiren away, and he replaced him.

The Qin tribe was originally a nomadic people in the Longxi River Valley, because this tribe was good at herding horses and could raise excellent horses, Zhou Tianzi ordered the Qin tribe to pay tribute horses.

In order to slander Qin Shi Huang, later generations spread rumors that Qin Shi Huang's ancestors raised horses for Zhou Tianzi and were from a low background.

In the Western Weekend Year, King Zhou You's "Beacon Fire Opera Princes" made the heavens angry and resentful. Rong Di invaded Haojing and destroyed the Western Zhou Dynasty, the then crown prince, and later the king of Zhou Ping, asked for help everywhere, moved rescue troops everywhere, and the great vassal states of Jin and Qi ignored him. King Zhou Ping was desperate and came to the Qin tribe and asked the Qin tribe to send troops.

At that time, Qin Xianggong, the leader of the Qin tribe, led 50,000 troops directly into Guanzhong, broke Rong Di, and recovered Haojing.

It's just that the Haojing palace has been burned down by Rong Di, and King Zhou Ping thought that the Luoyang palace was intact, so he moved the capital to Luoyang and sealed Qifeng, the old land of the Western Zhou Dynasty, to the Qin tribe.

The Qin tribe migrated from the Longxi River Valley to Guanzhong, and in the process of migration, they were attacked by the surrounding nomads, and many of the tribes were scattered. Some of them fell into the Yan State and were called the "Northern Qin people"; Some of them fell into the Zhao State and were called "Zhao Qin people".

Together with most of the people who entered Guanzhong and the tribes who stayed behind in the ancestral land of the Longxi River Valley, the Qin tribe is now divided into four parts.

Whether it is the majority of the people who entered Guanzhong, or the Qin people who stayed in the ancestral land, or the Zhao Qin people, or the Yan Qin people, they are all Qin tribes and belong to the same root and origin.

This is another common denominator, of course Qin Yiren will not miss such a good opportunity, and he smiled very kindly.

"Hee-hee!" Zhao Ji smiled happily, after all, blood is thicker than water, they have the same root, and she is also happy.

"Damn it!" Lu Buwei listened to it in his ears, and his anger was in his heart, the more common topics Zhao Ji and Qin Yiren had, the more unfavorable it was for him, he turned his mind and secretly thought: "I have to find a way." With a roll of his eyes, he immediately thought of a method and said: "Today, thanks to all of you who have not given up and come to participate in the debate, Lu is not talented, so I will talk about a question first." ”

"Mr. Lu is talented, I admire him."

"Mr. Lu's high opinion will definitely make me wait for the mouth to open."

The scholar came to Lü Buwei's gold, and he was very funny and praised loudly, as if Lü Buwei, a businessman, was a famous man in the world.

Qin Yiren saw it in his eyes and smiled secretly in his heart: "I came here today to argue." If I want to be famous, I must participate in polemics, and I will see what you Lu Buwei has to say? ”

Zhao Ji blinked a pair of beautiful eyes and looked at Lu Buwei, quite interested.

Zhao Xiong and Zhao Lie also wanted to see what Lu Buwei had in mind, and their eyes widened.

Lu Buwei saw everyone's reaction in his eyes, and he was very excited, especially Zhao Ji's interest, which made him even more excited, and he raised his throat and said: "Everyone in the world says that businessmen seek profits, how absurd, businessmen take righteousness!" ”

"Merchant Righteousness?" A sound of surprise rang out.

As everyone knows, businessmen can't afford to be unprofitable, chasing profits, insatiable, his argument is different, the scholars are very curious, someone asked out loud: "Sir, what is the solution to this problem?" ”

"Merchants and sellers have a market, and they can make the world rich." Lü Buwei began to clarify his thesis, saying: "If there is no business in the world, how can Handan be a deer? All kinds of delicious food, thousands of delicacies, how can they gather in Hu Feng Wine Shop? This is righteousness, the righteousness of the country! ”

"Good!" The scholars came to make fun, and even if Lü Buwei's thesis was bad, they would applaud it. Not to mention, Lü Buwei's thesis does have its own uniqueness.

"Merchants also have the righteousness of benefiting the people!" Lü Buwei stretched out the index finger of his right hand and said in a sonorous voice: "Whoever is a merchant must hire a servant, a craftsman, and a coachman, whose food, clothing, housing, and livelihood of their families depend on the merchant." If there are no merchants, the livelihood of the people and the common people will be doubly difficult. ”

In modern parlance, he said that businessmen can provide employment opportunities, which can make ordinary people increase their income and live a better life.

"This profiteer has a bit of a political economy mind." Qin Yiren was quite surprised, and definitely didn't expect that Lü Buwei, a big profiteer, would have such an amazing insight as early as two thousand years ago.

This kind of cognition cannot be compared with modern economics, but this kind of naïve cognition appeared as early as 2,000 years ago, which is commendable.

"Good! Pick! For the sake of gold, the scholar made fun and cheered loudly.

For a while, the sound was like thunder, which was amazing.

"I'll wait for the wind to fall." The scholars simply admit defeat.

"Hmm." Lu Buwei was quite complacent, and he raised his chin provocatively at Qin Yiren, after eating Qin Yiren so many times today, he can finally find his way back: "Yiren son, what do you think?" ”

"Don't force it." Yue Ji whispered in Qin Yiren's ear, reminding him not to be reckless.

Lu Buwei's argument is indeed difficult for people to reach, Zhao Ji is worried about Qin Yiren, this is a good intention.

Lu Buwei saw it in his eyes and smiled contemptuously, thinking that Qin Yiren would definitely be overwhelmed by him no matter how he couldn't refute him.

"Bullshit!" However, just when Lu Buwei was proud, Qin Yiren was loud and foul-mouthed.

"Shut up!" Lu Buwei's argument is really novel, superior to others, he is very complacent, he was even reprimanded by Qin Yiren as bullshit, he was angry, his eyes rolled, his essence flashed, and shouted: "Qin Yiren, do you dare to argue?" ”

"Why don't you dare?" Qin Yiren smiled lightly and said, "How can Shang Jia come to benefit the country?" Merchants sell goods from one place to another, buy cheaply and sell expensively, and make huge profits from them. Can a businessman ever make a thing? Have you ever produced a drop in the crop? Have you ever woven a brocade? ”

"Good! Pick! Qin Yiren didn't say a word, and a cheer rang out.

The evaluation of the Warring States period is divided into three classes. One is that there is no comment, which is the worst; the second is to applaud or not, which is moderate; The third is applause, which is the best.

Qin Yiren's controversy was exactly what the merchants were short about, and the merchants did not make goods, but only transported them from one place to another, earning the difference from them, which was shameful.

In modern society, there are many ways to refute it, but this is in the Warring States period, and in terms of the perception of the ancients, this is an insightful opinion.

Zhao Ji blinked her bright pretty eyes and stared at Qin Yiren, her eyes were shining.

Lu Buwei knew that the situation was not good, but there was nothing he could do but stare dryly.

"How can a businessman come from the righteousness of benefiting the people?" Qin Yiren then retorted, saying: "The businessman exploits the servants, craftsmen, and coachmen in every possible way, if they don't allow it, then the oppression will come, for the sake of the family, I dare not let you and others exploit it." ”

Even in modern society, the powerful rich have always had countless ways to deal with the weaker wage earners, and this is still under the protection of the law; During the Warring States period, there was no law to protect the vulnerable, and its repression was even more shocking.

"Good! Pick! ”

"Good! Pick! ”

The cheers resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the ground trembled. Many of these scholars were from poor backgrounds, and they knew very well how reasonable what Qin Yiren said, so they didn't care about saving face for Lu Buwei, and applauded loudly.

Listening to the thunderous cheers, Lü Buwei's face was gloomy, and his reputation as "erudite and talented" was completely out of his mind.

"Good! Pick! What made him even more unhappy was that Zhao Ji actually slapped his white jade-like palm and cheered for Qin Yiren loudly.
