Chapter 48: The Unhappy Celebration Feast (4)
Chang Mengxi didn't say a word, staring straight at the group of wealthy businessmen who had just entered the door; And the wealthy businessmen also saw clearly that the hall was full of officials in red, purple, and cyan official uniforms, and they all stopped in embarrassment, Fang Hongli opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't find the right words for a while, and a few people behind him were frozen with one foot outside the door and one foot inside the door.
Embarrassment is inevitable.
Since ancient times, although there is a "pipe? Xiao Kuang" in the record of "Shinong, Industry and Commerce and the Four People, the Stone of the Country (Pillar Stone) People", but in fact, everyone follows the "Huainanzi? The ancient precept in the "Qi Folk Training": "It is a person who is not an official, an official who is not a business, a farmer who is a businessman, a farmer who is different from another state, who is a farmer and a farmer, a scholar who speaks and acts, a man who works and a worker, and a businessman." That is to say, under normal circumstances, the four people of Shinong, industry and commerce are not connected with each other, that is to say, they look down on each other.
In the Southern Tang Dynasty, social commerce had begun to develop greatly, although there was no such bad rule that businessmen had to wear black and white when wearing shoes, and there was also an example of Zhou Zong, an official who was a good product and a wealthy businessman. However, in the minds of the people of the world, businessmen are still dispensable and the image of the country's silverfish, and the rejection psychology is naturally very serious. Although all the officials here have nothing to say about their character, they still do not seem to be open-minded and liberated people.
Lin Feng sighed secretly in his heart, it is easy to move mountains, it is difficult to move people's hearts, and it is even more difficult to move old concepts. The reason why he opened his mouth to make such an arrangement was to see if these so-called enlightened reformers could accept these businessmen psychologically and in fact, and the results on the spot were already clear at a glance.
Lin Feng suddenly didn't notice the embarrassment of the scene, and took the lead in speaking: "It's crowded here, otherwise, Brother Fang, you can take everyone to the study and take a seat." ”
Han Xizai almost laughed, so he had to shake his head helplessly, this place is also called crowded? You can put down eight or ten tables here! Han Xizai is also helpless, unable to help, he himself often sells calligraphy and articles, and is also deeply excluded by those traditional scribes, thinking that he Han Xizai is actually a person with interests in mind, he has not been promoted for 24 years, but I am afraid that this is also one of the main influencing factors!
Fang Hongli finally said with difficulty: "Adults, excuse me, please forgive me for being presumptuous!" He was the first to step back out of the room, and the others followed closely and walked cleanly.
As if this had not happened, Lin Feng continued to greet warmly: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's have another toast and wish me a successful Tang reform!" ”
Although this reason is big, it is appropriate at this time, and a group of people immediately picked up their wine glasses and touched each other from afar.
After a moment of coldness, Chang Mengxi, the privy deputy envoy, put the wine glass with half a cup on the table, and finally spoke: "Kindness, let me rely on the old man and sell the old once." Merchants, women and villains as mentioned by the sages, if they are near, they will not be inferior, and if they are far away, they will be resentful, and it is not advisable to get too close to such people in daily life, so as not to damage your reputation! ”
Lin Feng stood up and bowed and said, "Xie Lu Xie Chang teaches Master Xie, and the lower officials should keep it in mind." Of course, Lin Feng scoffed at this concept in his heart, no matter how good you are, you can't be an immortal who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, can you be a good official only if you are poor to death? If you can be as rich as Tao Zhu Gong, become a huge fortune in business three times, and scatter your family wealth three times, wouldn't it be better to help others?
However, Lin Feng continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, I Tang is changing at this time, not a start-up, you can start from scratch and calmly layout, now, it is like half of the chess, the road is a few points, if you want to turn the world upside down, if you want to change course, you must make a breakthrough and innovate."
In Lin's view, the breakthrough of the current pattern of our Tang Dynasty can be relied on is nothing more than the army, business, talents, people's hearts, etc., the army, defend my territory, expand my space; Talents, leading and driving, twice the result with half the effort; Those who have a heart, what people want, nothing can be done; And the businessman, a businessman, a trip, can be worth a number of farmers for a year's output, through the country to help the people to save the world, the best efficiency, the best effect, in the following believes that it is really the most effective way for me to strengthen the country and enrich the people! ”
After Lin Feng's big phone call, no one spoke at the scene. There are all smart people present, and the reason is easy to understand, but whether you can accept it in your heart is another matter!
The field was a little deserted, and Lin Feng stopped talking, picking up a green vegetable and chewing it slowly. He was giving some time for these high-ranking scholars to experience this truth for a while. On the one hand, if you hope that businessmen have the country in their hearts and make selfless contributions, but they do not respect and treat others unfairly, will there be such a cheap good thing in the world?
At this moment, a drunken figure swayed in from outside the house, sat on an empty stool, grabbed a wine glass casually, and shouted, "Come on, let's have a drink together?" ”
Who is this? Everyone put down the cups and chopsticks in their hands, and stared at the master Lin Feng together.
Lin Feng was a little embarrassed by the stares of a circle of people, and after taking a closer look, he found that the drunk man with his cloak was Kang Renjie.
Lin Feng frowned, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to support Kang Renjie, and said, "Brother Kang, you are drunk, go and rest first!" ”
"Rest! Have a rest! I, Kang Renjie, I am afraid that I can only rest in this life! I won't even be allowed to drink a glass of wine! Kang Renjie knocked Lin Feng's hands off, threw the wine glass in his hand on the table, tripped over the chair behind him with his right leg, got up and walked outside the house, and when he reached the threshold, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Lin Feng was embarrassed and hurriedly explained: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really embarrassed! This person is Kang Renjie, who saved his next life, both civil and military, but because of his injury, he missed special training and missed the Medal of Honor, and he was depressed in his heart, and he kept drinking to drown his sorrows, which made everyone laugh! ”
In this case, everyone also gossiped a few nonsense about the impermanence of life and the ups and downs of life, and soon there was no topic again.
There were two people at the most leisurely table, Zhou Ming, the eldest prince of Situ Mansion, and Shi Xubai, the chief doctor, who watched the show quietly as bystanders. Shi Xubai is playful, carefully observing everyone at the table from time to time; And Zhou Ming is detached, he doesn't mix with officialdom, but the identity of the son of Situ Mansion makes no one dare to despise him.
In the end, Zhou Ming took the lead in getting up and bidding farewell to Lin Feng. Lin Feng couldn't hold back his enthusiasm, so he had to make an appointment to visit Situ's Mansion at any time and let him go.
Someone started to start, and everyone at the table also had an excuse and got up to say goodbye. Lin Feng had to send the people to the gate of the mansion and apologize one by one.
Han Xizai fell behind the most under the pretext, grabbed Lin Feng and asked, "Zhishan, did you deliberately test everyone?" ”
Can't hide anything from Lao Han! Lin Feng sighed in his heart, but he smiled and revealed.
Bidding farewell to a group of officials, Lin Feng rushed to the study, and Fang Hongli and other shareholders first briefly discussed the land purchase, cleanup, construction and other matters of the next two supermarkets, and then put everything aside, and called Zhang Yuewen, who was already asleep, over, and everyone drank together for the grand opening and prosperous debut of the supermarket!
After the end of the song, Lin Feng did not write and paint again this night, and thanked Xiao Fei'er for this "virtuous helper" in bed with practical actions.
