When the benefits are greater than ten times, the businessman dares to abandon everything and take risks! ——

The content is excerpted from the forty-third letter between Lin Ye and An Zisheng.

The capital, the prime minister's house.

An Zisheng, who is only thirty or four years old, already has a few more strands of gray hair on his sideburns.

The woman standing at the gate of the courtyard looked at her husband's lonely back, but her face was distressed.

Outsiders only saw the scenery of her husband as the prime minister, but only she knew her husband's hard work over the years.

Every time I go home, I have to correct official documents, often busy until late at night, in the first few years, I couldn't sleep at night, the previous years were better, and this year my husband began to return to the same.

The gray hair of young people is the best proof of this.

She is a woman, and she doesn't understand officialdom or national affairs, all she can do is to take care of her husband's house.

However, she knew that her husband's appetite would definitely not be bad today.

In the past, as long as my husband received a letter from Shangyang City, his mood would improve, not only would he be able to sleep well, but his appetite would also be greater.

After the husband finished reading the letter, the woman also brought a bowl of ginseng tea from the kitchen and walked into the courtyard.

"Xianggong, what are you going to eat today?"

The woman put down the ginseng tea and stepped forward to pat the rain on her husband's big hair.

"It's the same old way."

Hearing her husband's answer, the woman frowned, which always means that her husband has a bad appetite, and in the past, when he received a letter, his husband would take the initiative to say that he wanted to eat a certain dish that he used to love.

Don't you believe it?

"Xianggong, isn't this letter a panacea this time?"

Although she had never interfered in her husband's business before, even the envelope, which was a panacea, was useless, and she was full of worry and couldn't help but ask.

"Medicine...... If you drink too much, you will be stubborn. ”

An Zisheng had a wry smile on his face, he wrote to Lin Ye for the problems encountered in the previous reforms, and Lin Ye would give him some ideas in his reply, but this time, in the face of his question, Lin Ye's letter did not have an answer.

Since the first year of the Great Shang, the status of the merchants has been gradually improved, and it is indeed that the capital and some county towns have become more prosperous than before, and there have been no natural disasters in recent years, but even if there are natural disasters, the common people will not be unable to live.

Because the common people could choose to work in the workshops of these merchants, and because of the rapid growth of commerce and trade, the income of the state treasury increased year by year, and now the income of the household department in one year of taxation is worth the five years before the reform.

Officials throughout the court now supported the reforms, and instead of insulting him, the scholars turned to praise him as a virtuous minister, comparable to the prime minister of a thousand years ago.

An Zisheng was not carried away by these praises, on the contrary, the worries in his heart became heavier and heavier.

Businessmen are becoming more and more important.

This importance does not refer to status, but to the influence of merchants.

For example, the Sihai Commercial Bank in the capital has as many as 3,000 workers under its banner, and behind these 3,000 workers are 30,000 families, and the Sihai Commercial Bank affects the lives of 100,000 people......

These behaviors are not allowed, some officials who have been bribed should only be invisible, and some who refuse to bribe want to set up a business house in the four seas, but before these officials can do anything, there are workers of the four sea business houses gathered at the entrance of the yamen to plead.

If it is simple to move the four seas commercial banks, how can the lives of 100,000 people be guaranteed?

The Four Seas Merchant House is just one of the representatives, there are still five or six such merchant houses in the capital, and the situation is similar in various states, these merchants have kidnapped the people, and they can already compete with the court.

An Zisheng is not an official who does not care about the life and death of the people, otherwise he can arrest the heads of these commercial houses with a thunderous blow, but he has to take into account the people, and even more so the impact.

For this reason, An Zisheng wrote a letter to Lin Ye, and these problems were mentioned in the letter.

Lin Ye only replied to him.

When the benefits are greater than ten times, the businessman dares to abandon everything and take risks!

He agreed with Lin Ye's words, but the key issue was how to solve this problem.

"Xianggong, that Lin Gongzi is so talented, why don't you invite him to the capital, even if he doesn't want to enter the court as an official, he can give the master an idea as a staff member."

When the woman heard her husband's explanation, she realized that most of the reforms that her husband had proposed over the years had come from the hand of Lin Gongzi in Shangyang City.

"He doesn't want to be an official, and he doesn't want to come to the capital."

An Zisheng smiled bitterly, if Lin Ye was willing to come to the capital and be an official in the court, he would have given up the position of prime minister a long time ago.

"He's a cultivator."

A practitioner makes women no longer persuade.

As the wife of the prime minister, she naturally knows that cultivators will not get too deep into the world.

"Is there really no way to do that?"

"There is a way, but this is ......"

Although Lin Ye only had this sentence in the letter, it was also a hint to him: it is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, and no one can change it, and only by making businessmen feel afraid can they suppress their greedy nature.

Kill!

Kill a group of merchants!

"Xianggong, you can't kill, businessmen are the focus of reform, if you kill businessmen, then this reform ......"

Although the woman does not understand officialdom, she also knows that the status of businessmen is improved by her husband, and many businessmen even worship the god of Xianggong at home.

"There will be no problem with reform."

An Zisheng is not worried about reform, even if he kills this group of merchants, the next group of merchants will appear, but he himself will definitely be attacked because of this.

"Madam, our son is six years old this year."

The woman didn't know why her husband suddenly asked about her son, but she still replied: "Well, I was just about to discuss it with you, Shang'er has reached the age of enlightenment, and he is going to find a teacher for him." ”

"Don't look for it, in a few days, send Shang'er to Canglan County."

"Canglan County?"

The woman somewhat understood that her husband wanted to give his son to that Lin Gongzi to teach.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Shang'er."

An Zisheng looked at the back of his wife leaving, but sighed, and gave his son to Lin Ye, not only to let Lin Ye teach his son, but also to entrust his son to Lin Ye in a sense.

He could already smell the rain coming.

……

……

"This is the son of that guy Anzisheng?"

Lin Ye looked at the child brought into the house by Uncle Xu, and was a little speechless, An Zisheng that guy is really good at finding things to do for himself.

"Childe, here's a letter from Lord An."

Over the years, Uncle Xu has also known that the original Gongzi An is the current prime minister, who would have thought that his son-in-law had imprisoned Gongzi An back then.

After taking the envelope, Lin Ye opened it and looked at it, but after reading it, he sighed.

"Alright, then let this little guy stay."

An Zisheng's envelope did not contain much content, but he praised Lin Ye for his talent through heaven and earth, and he didn't want his son to learn from those Confucian teachers and become a sour Confucian who could only read to death.

However, in the end, it was An Zisheng's last sentence in the letter that made Lin Ye willing to accept An Youshang.

"In my life, I am at the height of the temple, walking on thin ice, trembling, looking back on half my life, I found that only Brother Lin can be regarded as a friend."

"Tuogu, it's a pity, I'm not Zhuge Liang."

Lin Ye muttered, An Zisheng this guy sent his son to himself, it seems that he is really in big trouble.

"No worries, I hope you can survive."

……

……

As for how to teach An You Shang, Lin Ye thought about it and had an idea, and directly asked Lao Chen to take An You Shang away, first arrange An You Shang to come to the guest house, wait for a while, and then send this little guy to Home Inn Hotel.

The guests come and go, and the people who come in and out are high-ranking officials and nobles, and the restaurants are all peddlers and pawns, so that the little guy can understand the life of the upper class and will not be separated from the bottom.

"Childe, isn't there something wrong with this?"

Uncle Xu was a little worried when he saw Lin Ye asking Lao Chen to take An Youshang away, after all, this is the son of the prime minister, how can he go to the restaurant to be a runner?

"There's nothing wrong with letting children experience the suffering of the world in advance, don't reveal the identity of this little guy to Lao Chen."

Lin Ye knew that if Lao Chen knew An Youshang's identity, he would probably not dare to arrange any work for An Youshang, and would serve in the restaurant like an ancestor.

……

……

A month later!

The three carriages drove out of Canglan County and headed for the god-level gate.

And the day after Lin Ye left Canglan County, an iron horse rode into Canglan County and went straight to the major commercial houses, and the people in the city found that the heads of the major commercial houses were taken away one after another.

The heads of the major commercial houses were taken away, causing the originally prosperous commercial streets in Canglan County to become depressed all of a sudden, and the shops closed one after another, for fear of being implicated.

Many businessmen who were not taken away went to the government to complain, you must know that the current Prime Minister An, but those who support their businessmen, the government arrests people for no reason, and they want to complain to the court and Prime Minister An.

However, the merchants received a desperate news from the government that the person in charge of the trading house had taken away the person who supervised the business.

It's just that the imperial court has formed a new department, and it was fully promoted by Prime Minister An Cheng.

Specially monitor merchants, if they commit illegal acts, they can be arrested immediately, and if there is resistance, they can be cut down first.

As soon as the news came out, the businessmen were in an uproar, and Prime Minister An abandoned them.

After a few years of good life, will you be beaten back to your original shape again?

The atmosphere of despair lingered in the hearts of the merchants, and this kind of scene was not only staged in Canglan County, but also in the entire county town of Dashang.

However, in just one day, the branches of the Supervision and Commerce Department in various places were assassinated by the Jianghu people, and at the same time, many county governments wrote to the court, and the Supervision and Commerce Department wantonly arrested the merchants, causing panic among the people, the merchants did not dare to open, prices soared, the workshops were closed, and many people lost their livelihood work.

An Zisheng, who was in the capital, would not have thought that he was opposed by many officials when he raised the status of a businessman, and now he is shooting at a businessman, and it is still these officials who oppose it.

Old vested interests do not want the rules to be broken, but once they are broken, they quickly become new vested interests.

Collusion between officials and businessmen, strong alliances.

On the third day, Zhuangyuanlang, who was hand-picked by An Zisheng as the chief examiner, wrote a letter, which caused an uproar in the court.

This is a letter to An Zisheng.

"Taking advantage of power and acting as prestige, recruiting power and accepting bribes, excluding different parties, controlling the program of the court, and blinding the ...... of the Holy Hearing"

Impressively, An Zisheng was criticized as the powerful minister of the cholera court.

The Great Shang Dynasty, which had been calm for nearly ten years, ushered in the first turmoil.

And at this moment, Lin Ye, who arrived in front of the god-level gate mountain gate, looked at the majestic and majestic mountain peaks, the golden mountain gate, and the rich yang energy rushing to his face, and his eyes were also slightly condensed.

It is worthy of being the first martial arts holy place in Nanjiang!
