Chapter 020: Three Masters and Two Apprentices
If this continues, the peddler will never come out.
You must come up with your own theories, your own banner, and even your own doctrines and canons. Over time, someone will inevitably peek deep into their interiors.
If the country can be governed in the way of a peddler, it will truly realize that Cao Mengde's mountains are not tired of being high, and the sea is not tired of being deep, and he can summarize the products, people, and moral articles of the four poles and eight wildernesses under the clouds.
What kind of mind would that be, the so-called holy king of the previous generation seemed to be lonely and unheard, and arrogant.
Think, talk, think
Chaoge Sanfeng has been in business all his life, so he naturally understands what he says.
But Chen Zhe was dumbfounded. Sure enough, he is a talented businessman, and these truths have never been heard of.
Next, what is this Wanglingtong, who was born in Longxi County, a talented businessman, going to do?
Wanglingtong pulls a bench every day and discusses business with his parents under this big catalpa tree.
On this morning, it was still under the catalpa tree. Suddenly he had an inspiration. It turns out that the Yan Dynasty, the first dynasty of China, is the real formative period of merchant theory. It is no wonder that the Yan Dynasty was able to become the first dynasty of the ages.
Chen Zhe listened to the lecture for a long time, and he also began to think deeply from an extremely broad level. I roughly understood the meaning of Wanglingtong.
"I'll try to solve it for my virtuous brother. Chen Zhe and Chen Zhizhi shook their hands.
Wanggaozhi returned the salute and said: "The county commander is knowledgeable, and there must be grand theories." The younger brother listened attentively. ”
Chen Zhe thought that Jiang Shinian, the founding emperor of the Yan Dynasty, was called Shennong. It was precisely through his trafficking activities and commercial practices that he carried forward agriculture and saved the Chinese nation.
Emperor Shennong personally tasted a hundred herbs, and in the middle of this, he selected the rice, millet and wheat that can be full and non-toxic, and planted it widely to replace most of the fishing and hunting.
This frees people from the dangers of fishing and hunting. However, in order to spread the cultivation of grains from one place to the whole world, it is necessary to obtain seeds through exchange.
Therefore, the Emperor Shennong established a market and opened up the market for the first time. Japan and China are the city, and each has its own place. Among them, compared with hunting and fishing, the five grains are labor-saving and full, and they must be important exchange materials.
Everyone in the world knows that after planting grains, new problems arise, in the process of planting, hoeing and harvesting, straw and wheat straw will make people uncomfortable, so Emperor Shennong has woven linen for cloth, and the people wear clothes. If you put on your clothes, you will be able to avoid getting punctured and cut.
In this way, there will be a greater need for market transactions, and transactions will become more and more developed.
The itching of growing food is solved, and if you want to plant a large area, agricultural tools are also very important. So Emperor Shennong made a plow-and-burn cultivation and realized slash-and-burn farming, thus completely solving the problem of farming.
In this way, the market will be highly valued by the emperor, and the Emperor Shennong personally manages it, and even lists the market as one of the four key buildings of the temple, the society, the dynasty and the city. The left temple and the right society, the front and the back of the city, also produced a fixed capital building model.
Agriculture flourished, and the people completely got rid of the primitive hunting life. Then during the other time of the year, when it is not harvested, the grain needs to be stored well. This has also become a big problem. Emperor Shennong used his brains again, making pottery and storing grain. Pottery can not only store grain, but also be used to cook grain and eat.
As a result, the pottery industry became a major event, and a full-time department was set up to control the pottery industry. Later, the officials who managed the pottery industry became more and more high-ranking until they became the highest magistrates. Gaotao was also produced.
The subjects of Shennong the Great had a reserve of grain, and it didn't matter if they couldn't catch prey or fish. Those backward nations are bound to compete for grain, so wars for grain break out frequently. In the process of grain cultivation, there will also be wild beasts. So the emperor invented the bow and arrow, and cut wood into a bow.
Clothes, rakes, pottery, bows and arrows, all these are extremely important. Then, the market is even more important. With the active trade, the clothes, rakes, pottery, bows and arrows that the grain and peasants matched with the peasants could be exchanged by more states. This will be exchanged for countless treasures.
The developed agriculture has made the country richer and richer, and the peasants and ministers are singing and dancing. Emperor Shennong made the Shennong piano again, cut the tong for the piano, and knotted the silk for the string. There are five strings on it, and the five-tone palace Shang Jiao Zheng Yu is popped. The music was born again.
In this way, the survival taste of our Huaxia clan is enviable, and the market will be exchanged for more rare treasures.
The virtuous circle enabled Emperor Yan to achieve the lofty goal of dominating the world with agriculture. Whoever needs agriculture, and who needs the clothes, rakes, pottery, bows and arrows, and strings that are necessary for agriculture, must submit to me.
As a result, trafficking activities were more valued by the emperor and princes, and became something that the emperor had to pay attention to every day. Taking agriculture as king and making profits from the city has become the fundamental plan for China's governance.
The great cause of Emperor Shennong has indeed created a foundation for our Huaxia people. To this day, the children and grandchildren are vigorous and prosperous, and the world is unmatched.
Today and even in the future, if the dynasty forgets these two fundamental plans, it will surely turn back the clock of history and fall into a catastrophe from which it will never recover.
Chen Zhi's grand essay is meticulous and wonderful. It's exactly what Wanggao thinks.
Gao Zhi stood up and applauded: "The county commander is from a high position, and his knowledge is extraordinary. There is no stability without agriculture, and there is no wealth without business. If there is no agriculture, there will be no business, and if there is no business, it will hurt the farmers. Farming, teeth also. business, lip also. The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the teeth are dead and the lips are open, and they are dependent on each other. Family wealth and national wealth all start from agriculture and end at business. ”
Zhizhi also stood up, his eyes shining: "Brother Gao Zhixian just mentioned something, and Xiao Ke can barely discuss it." In this life, I have set my mind on the path of business. Today, I set up an incense case and worship the three uncles as dealers. Since then, we have studied carefully and operated carefully. ”
Fan Dan laughed, excited and inexplicable: "Okay, let's accept the next county order disciple, and we will have Mr. Kong Ming, so I don't have to worry about whether I can do a great deal." ”
"Lao Wu, put the incense case. Wangxiao shouted, commanded his wife Wu, and held an apprenticeship ceremony.
The sloppy ghost Changdu came to roar: "Since Emperor Shennong established the market, he is the ancestor of our peddlers." You doll apprentice, you have to write a tablet. What about yellow paper? I have to go to Penglai to buy yellow paper. ”
"That's right, then choose an auspicious day of the zodiac, prepare the tablets, sacrifice, name sign, and make a serious ceremony. Gao Zhi added.
Tomoyuki had no choice but to agree. You can't be in a hurry, and you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
Teruyuki sells spotted bamboo next to his father. Hearing them say this, they should also worship the two uncles as teachers. In this case, the three divisions will accept two apprentices and hold them together.
After more than ten days, on the first day of the first month of August, the tablet, pig's head, and name tag were prepared. At Wangyun's home, an apprenticeship ceremony was held.
Behind the table of the Eight Immortals, there is a long strip. On the center wall is a tablet written on yellow paper:
Enshrine the Emperor Shennong, the ancestor of the five farmers, the market vendors, the pottery bow and piano makers.
This is called the god of the apprenticeship ceremony.
The incense burner is full of sandalwood, and the candles on the left and right sides are shining.
On the table of eight immortals in front of the bar, the pig's head is in the middle of the big offering.
Four corners and four large plates, a plate of five large walnuts, a plate of fried red tofu five slices, a plate of stewed whole rooster, and a plate of braised huge carp.
Five fine fresh peaches were placed in front of the table of the Eight Immortals.
On the left hand side of the Eight Immortals Table, the red paper is written on the folding rules of the Geng post, and a tin is finely weighed.
On the right hand side of the table of eight immortals, there are three fine tin wine glasses, a bright tin wine jug, and there is a wine jar on the side.
When it is auspicious, replace it with sandalwood.
Chen Zhe and Chen Zhizhi bowed to the ground, looked at the god and kowtowed, knelt three times and kowtowed, and worshiped the Emperor Shennong first.
Then he got up, first supported the master to look at the sky and the clouds, and sat on the left Taishi chair, and the master mother Wu sat on the right Taishi chair.
The Lord of God knelt upright, kowtowed, and handed over the name tag to the master.
Then he turned sideways, aimed at the master master and the master mother himself, called the master master and the master mother, and kowtowed to each of them.
The master said that the Emperor Shennong was on top, and the disciple XX was to inherit the skills of the peddlers, and now he accepted XX as the eldest disciple, and read the content of the name tag.
While Gao Zhi poured wine and handed it to Chen Zhe, he toasted three glasses of wine to his master and his wife. Master and Master drank it. The master and the master each gave him a glass of wine, and Chen Zhe also drank it. Courtesy.
He also supported the second master, Fan Dan, Fan Zhugong, and the second mother, Ding, as before, and saluted, kowtowed, roll call, and toasted.
After helping the third master Changdu Changbuqu and the third master Yin, the third master is still the same as before.
The third master and mother Yin accept the bow, what is going on?
