164. The future is yours
The head of the Peng family has been silent for a long time, and he is not a melodic person to be the head of the huge Peng family.
What his son said woke him up.
Nowadays, relying on fame and ancestral legacies is no longer enough to support family inheritance.
The previous generations are okay, everyone is close, count up a few ancestors, they are all a family, but with the passage of time, the relationship fades, the blood relationship fades, who will remember this?
The ancestor of the Peng family is the monarch of the Great Peng State, established by Peng Zu, the leader of the Peng tribe, and was a subject of Xia in the summer.
But now apart from the Peng family's own people, who still remembers these things?
Even the Great Peng Kingdom was destroyed during the Wuding period.
This has to be thought-provoking, now at first glance everything is fine, but how many more generations?
When it comes to his grandchildren, can the Peng family still be brilliant?
Over the years, there have been more and more down-and-out aristocrats, why?
Aristocrats need a new foundation for their existence, a foundation that can be passed down for a long time and can be seen and felt.
Peng Zun was also silent for a while before he slowly spoke: "The child has learned something in the palace. ”
"What?"
"Business. ”
"Business, wealth, markets. ”
"With the Peng caravan to transport the sea salt at the mouth of the river, occupy the market, let the people gradually get used to it, as long as the people of the world still need the sea salt at the mouth of the river, my Peng family will not fall, and Your Majesty will not let the Peng family fall, once something goes wrong, there will be chaos, which Your Majesty and even the princes do not want to see. ”
The child only has a preliminary understanding of these things, and he will have to go back to the Shanglinyuan market tomorrow to continue to think, but he also asks his father to sell the fields and forests quickly to raise funds. ”
The head of the Peng family tried his best to put on the appearance of his father, wanting to make himself look more majestic, after all, Peng Zun's words were too terrifying.
It is even more terrifying that it makes a lot of sense.
He was still a little puzzled: "But who will buy these fields and forests?"
Peng Zun said calmly: "Your Majesty." ”
"What?" the head of the Peng family frowned: "Where did you get so much money in the palace?"
"The child has heard one thing, and His Majesty intends to create more official positions for sale. ”
"Selling officials? this...."The head of the Peng family didn't expect that the current king of Xuan could be so ridiculous, how could his official position be sold?
"Nine times out of ten, it's true, since Your Majesty has proposed commerce, and you can rest assured that I will understand the benefits of commerce, will you watch us make huge profits?"
"Inevitably, the palace must be controlled, selling officials is one of them, our noble children are not officials in the court, if they have an official body, it is easy to move around in the place, and it is much more convenient to act, as the child expected, it is the property earned, and the palace will also collect half. ”
"Half?"
"Even if there is only half left, it is enough for my Peng family to live in peace. ”
Peng Zun's voice gradually became higher: "If the child wants to continue to buy money and eat excessively, he must engage in business, so that he can get wealth, profit, and His Majesty's favor, not like before, although he has money to spend, he is not at ease to spend." ”
"The legacy of the ancestors cannot be eaten for a lifetime, and the children must make changes to fight for new interests. ”
The head of the Peng family understood that Peng Zun was not trying to lose, but wanted to transform the Peng family.
From a nobleman who relied on his ancestors and fame, he became an aristocrat based on business.
Peng Zun's voice was a little softer: "We don't know agriculture, we don't know soldiers, we don't enter the court, we don't know political affairs, and if we want to gain a foothold in the court, we can only use this to be about our own business." ”
Business matters are not something that can be figured out in the market in ten days, but he Peng Zun doesn't understand, others don't understand either, and as a noble child, he has a background that ordinary people don't have, so he has more opportunities to try.
Under the reign of King Xu, in the song of the court, he must also try to find change.
The head of the Peng family looked at Peng Zun, these words were ridiculous, but there was something to say.
Peng Zun said seriously: "The child has discussed with familiar friends, if the clan does not support, then sell all their belongings, unite to open a small caravan, we and other noble children do not seek to enter the court as officials, do not seek to deal with the government, do not want to help the world, do not want to open a world of great governance, only one point, is to let the family stand safely." ”
"But it's like buying and selling, if you want to buy goods, you have to pay money, and if you have something, you have to pay, and the child also asks his father to support him, and if he has more money to invest, the results can be faster. ”
“......”
The head of the Peng family was speechless for a while, and when he said it, it was still a sentence-
Dad, I want to sell land.
But it makes a lot of sense.
The aristocracy is not like the princes, they have no ambitions, they want to live a life of worry-free food and clothing, and Peng Zun's starting point is to make such a day last longer.
The head of the Peng family knows that His Majesty is now wise and martial, and even the princes dare to move, how can he look down on the nobles who have nothing to pay and are not even willing to enter the court as officials?
It must be rectified.
What Peng Zun proposed is indeed a method, but it is too risky.
What exactly is business and how does it work?
This is something he does not understand.
Peng Zun stared at his hesitant old father.
In the past, he was very grateful to his father, with his father and the protection of the Peng family, he was able to pamper himself, run rampant in the market, and be arrogant.
Now, he feels that his father is pulling his own hind legs and the Peng family's hind legs.
Times have changed!
Since the appearance of copper coins, the unification of weights and measures, and the increase in the number of categories of goods, everyone can see the changes in the market!
He really wanted to throw his father into the market, let the old father live as a street vendor for half a month, and then let him live in the same house with the small people in the market, and then he would naturally understand.
After a while, the head of the Peng family spoke: "Zun'er has grown up, you are the next head of the Peng family, and you are the father, this field, if you want to sell it, sell it." ”
"Okay, the child is going to sell, there is only one day, I have to hurry, and when I return home next time, I don't know when I will go. ”
"Don't, don't worry...."The head of the Peng family trembled when he heard this, this kid really didn't hesitate!
"Sell half of it first, it should be enough, right?"
Peng Zun thought about it before nodding in agreement, and it was not too late to invest more after it worked.
Eggs can't be put in one basket, and that's what the old woman taught him about business.
Early the next morning, Peng Zun got up and prepared to enter the palace.
This time, he carries the future of the Peng family on his back.
Shanglinyuan Palace City is not ordinary, His Majesty has given the nobles the opportunity to transform, but it is also an opportunity for the nobles to reshuffle their cards and rescore the high and low.
The children of the nobility are all in the palace market, and they are all selected elites, so they can naturally see the benefits of business.
In this way, the palace market has become a place for them to fight, and the children of the nobles who make more money in one day of trading will inevitably be able to occupy a larger market share in the future.
Because they are more experienced and know more.
The head of the Peng family turned his back and said earnestly: "Zun'er, go, if you lose money in the palace market, you will have your own father to make up for you, have a good life experience, accumulate experience, and the future of the Peng family depends on you." ”
Not long after Peng Zun left, someone from the palace summoned him, saying that His Majesty had ascended to the palace and summoned the heads of all families to the palace to discuss the affairs of the palace market.
