No one wants to be a supporter of untrustworthy in the eyes of the people, so in this mentality, the Commercial Credit Law was quickly passed. But in the Shang Jue Law, it has fallen into a fierce controversy.

The reasons for the objection are pretty much the same, and the unreliability of the merchant is the word that is most mentioned. In fact, in Lin Feng's view, this is just that these scholars adhere to the social class order of Shinong Industry and Commerce deep down, and extremely reject so-called lowly practitioners such as merchants to sit on an equal footing with them.

Lin Feng smiled, stood up, poured the sand from the crystal cup below into the crystal cup above, and then began to speak:

"I want to ask King Qi, from Yang Wu to Southern Tang, which army does King Qi think is the most powerful and famous?"

Li Jingsui was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Lin Feng suddenly asked about this, thought for a while, and replied: "From Jingsui's point of view, there is no doubt that it should be Yang Xingmi's 'Black Cloud Capital'. ”

Yang Xingmi is the founder of Yang Wu. Yang Xingmi led 36 heroes to rise up in the grass, and accumulated contributions to the Huainan Festival in the Tang Dynasty, and later founded the state of Wu. In the process of making a fortune, he defeated Sun Ru, "Sun Ru surrendered more Cai people, and secretly selected 5,000 of his especially brave and healthy people, and gave them generously, and covered them with soap clothes, and called 'Black Cloud Capital'." often thinks that they are pro-army, so that they are the first to enter the battle, and the neighbors are afraid of it. ”

"Then Lin wants to ask, does my Southern Tang Dynasty now have an army that exceeds the combat power of the 'Black Cloud Capital'?" Lin Feng asked unceremoniously.

"This ......" Li Jingsui hesitated for a long time, and finally told the truth, "No." He is the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and he took the initiative to admit that his troops were inferior to his predecessors, and he was really a little ashamed, and his face was a little unbearable.

"Lin Feng asked about this matter, and he didn't mean anything else, just to explain the simplest and most true truth: if even the famous 'Black Cloud Capital' has not fought the Huai River, how can we say that we can rely on the current army to successfully cross the Huai River, compete with the Central Plains army, and confront the Khitan cavalry further north?" Lin Feng asked rhetorically.

yes, why? Thinking of the blood that will inevitably lead to the fight for the world and the shattering of their homes, the eyes of many people at the scene suddenly had some fear and hesitation.

"The battlefield is the best place for military training. The frequent regime changes in the north, and the constant wars with political enemies and ethnic minorities have honed a stronger fighting army, how to resist them and even defeat them? Thinking about it, only on the basis of training elite soldiers and striving to keep up with them in combat effectiveness as soon as possible, can we find another way. If my strength is not as good as yours for the time being, then my war strategy will be stronger than yours, my battlefield command will be stronger than yours, my weapons and ordnance will be stronger than yours, my marching speed will be stronger than yours, and my grain and grass supply will be faster than yours. ”

Lin Feng paused for a moment at this point, and when he saw that some people showed thoughtful expressions, he felt more confident in his heart, and continued to say aloud:

Therefore, Lin Feng came up with an idea: to hand over professional things to the most professional people.

For example, in the transfer of grain and grass, we have to collect grain from all over the country, and we have to collect people from all over the country, and the people have to consume a lot of grain on the way. But the merchant, as long as it is advantageous, he will definitely move an item from a low-value area to a high-value area in the fastest way, and this is the characteristic of their profession. Because in business, they must make good use of every penny and every bit of manpower to ensure that there is money to be made and profitable. ”

There is some truth to this. At this time, all the people began to stare at Lin Feng. Lin Feng was greatly satisfied in his heart, his voice raised slightly, and continued:

"Competing for the world, at a certain stage, has actually become a process of competing for the hearts and minds of the world. You can make the people of the world support you, you can make all the talents of the world belong to you, you can make all the people in the army of the world want to be soldiers here, and you will definitely win the last battle. If you want to get there, you have to have mechanisms that are positive, efficient, well-functioning, attractive, and centripetal to attract them.

We envision an ideal state. If our four policies have been successfully implemented, after the bumper harvest of summer grain next year, we will first make a preliminary estimate of the grain consumption in various localities, envisage in advance the demand for grain and grass for foreign wars, and set the storage points for grain and grass for war, and then by recruiting powerful businessmen in all states throughout the territory, we will transfer the public grain paid by the people to these places where the grain is needed, and set the time and place, and those who arrive early will be rewarded with daily time, and those who arrive late will be fined by daily time, and I believe that we will be able to save a lot of manpower and material resources;

At the same time, after the people have paid the public grain, they can exchange the surplus grain for money to improve their lives, and then we popularize all kinds of new agricultural tools, so that the people can gradually get rid of the heavy farm work. At this time, our army has passed the selection, and the rest are all elite soldiers, who can be given high rewards and salaries to stimulate their fighting power, and thus attract and choose the strongest among the people as a source of recruits. In this way, a virtuous circle between the government, the military, the people, and the business has been formed, and the strength of our Datang can be expected.

From another point of view, the people of the world have food to eat, they can support their families as soldiers, they can make money in business, they can make a name for themselves in inventions, everyone lives with dignity and confidence, who will not want to come to my Datang, who will not support the rule of our Datang? ! ”

Lin Feng said impassionedly, and took advantage of the situation to fool these monarchs and ministers from the macro perspective of the world, and at this time he also found that the sand of the crystal cup was almost leaking.

"Good!" Li Jing and Li Jing slammed the table at the same time, which was something they didn't think of when they discussed with Lin Feng, and they were moved by the future prospects described by Lin Feng.

Therefore, the reason why Lin Feng proposed these four reform measures is because all these things that govern the world are not isolated, but interrelated and affect each other. Let's go back to the Shang Jue Law, which is actually the best and simplest way for us to show our credit to the merchants of the world, otherwise, why should people believe us, I am afraid that we will think that we are making money by conceiving a name. If we invite them with respect and induce them with interests, Lin believes that businessmen in the world will rush to do such things. Lin Feng stood up and continued to add fuel and vinegar.

"Good way. Lin Yilang is whimsical, but he is not detached from reality, he is really a rare talent. Situ Zhouzong also took the case.

Zhou Zong usually doesn't need to go to court every day because of his old age, today he saw Lin Feng for the first time, and he was very uninterested in him at first, how much can a yellow-mouthed child know about governing the world? I'm afraid that Nantang has another villain who is favored by his words! But from the moment he started to take his seat, Zhou Zong began to change his impression, the on-site layout, the rules of procedure, the participants, and the ideas of change, all the way through, Zhou Zong found that this was an unfathomable young man. By the time Lin Feng finished talking about the reasons for the initiation of the Shangjue Law, Zhou Zong had already changed from not daring to underestimate Lin Feng's strongest supporter.

Without him, Zhou Zong himself was also a businessman. Although he is rich and rivals the country, and the official is Situ, in the eyes of traditional Confucian scholars like Song Qiqiu, he is still a profiteering. Now it's okay, Lin Feng is tantamount to rehabilitating all the businessmen, and he Zhou Zong has also earned dignity by the way. Besides, who is in the best interest of truly commercializing the transportation of grain and grass? His Zhou family, they trafficked horses and sheep from the north, whether it was by water or land, his Zhou family was familiar with many roads, had a solid foundation, and had many advantages, which was like a wealth road specially built for his Zhou family!

Such a terrible young man, thoughtful, interlocking in his work, coupled with strong enchantment, will be a very difficult political opponent, Song Qiqiu has really begun to pay attention to Lin Feng at this time, and gave Lin Feng such a definition in his heart.
