There is no doubt that even since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the status of the Jiangnan God of Wealth in the Central Plains has never changed, even when the dynasty has changed. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
And the God of Wealth is not just monopolized by a family, the God of Wealth in Jiangnan has been constantly changing, no one has ever dared to try to take the status of the God of Wealth in their own hands, and it is simply wishful thinking to want to be hereditary.
The reign of every God of Wealth is also unstable, because this hot position is not inhabited by those who are capable, but by those who are virtuous.
The Lu family, as the family of the previous God of Wealth, is undoubtedly the most wealthy in the entire Central Plains, because there is a God of Wealth who controls the wealth of the enemy country in the family, and the wealth of the entire Central Plains merchant gang is all under the command of the God of Wealth, so the status of the Lu family in the entire Central Plains in those years can be said to be hot.
Lu Celadon was once an illegitimate son who was kicked out of the house by the Lu family, and after the death of his amorous father, Lu Celadon was kicked out of the house by the Lu family before he reached the crown.
Lu Qingci is actually not a good manager, and it may be said that he does not seem to show too amazing talent in other aspects except for his benevolence.
Maybe it's to make people, or maybe someone secretly manipulates it deliberately, but I have to admit that after stepping into the rivers and lakes, Lu Qingci was selected by the previous Jiangnan God of Wealth to be cultivated as the next God of Wealth.
Lu Celadon did not show any outstanding business acumen even after following the previous God of Wealth, and still belonged to the kind that did not know anything, but still no one blamed him, perhaps the God of Wealth only needed the spirit of 'worrying about the world first, and enjoying the joy of the world after the world' is the best, and Lu Celadon just has this kind of character.
It is precisely Lu Qingci's unbearable heart and benevolence that made even if the Spring and Autumn Unrighteous War, which can be called the catastrophe of the great powers, started, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty has not yet appeared the phenomenon of 'starvation on the way and no hurry', nor has there been a tragic scene of mourning all over the wilderness, so that the complaining Spring and Autumn Injustice War burned many people to death.
At that time, Lu Qingci, who was already the God of Wealth, gave an order, and the rich people in the Central Plains gave each other their own money, and the granaries were prosperous, which saved the victims from suffering and also promoted the early end of the Spring and Autumn Injustice.
I have to say that the orders of the God of Wealth in the merchants are more effective than the holy decrees of today, not that the God of Wealth has much power, but that the merchants all know that the God of Wealth of the Central Plains, who has no end in sight, is the one who grasps the prospects of their wealth.
The fame of Lu Celadon has always been an incredible thing in the rivers and lakes, and many people even dare not believe that the illegitimate son of the Lu family who was once abandoned outside the door would be the God of Wealth who controlled the lives of the major merchants in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But such a person who was ridiculed by others as a useless person, a person who was ridiculed as a sinister seed, and a person whose dignity was trampled on countless times by the entire Lu family, he finally became the person who looked down on the world from above.
Everyone can imagine what a great force it would be if he became the God of Wealth who called on the entire Great Zhou Dynasty Shang Gang, not to mention the countless people of the Shang Gang, the endless wealth alone was enough to make people crazy.
Whoever gets the God of Wealth gets the world.
After the God of Wealth appeared and had enough calling power in the merchant gang, there was no shortage of the God of Wealth and their eye-popping financial resources behind the successive dynastic changes and the competition for power.
Therefore, after Lu Celadon became the God of Wealth in the Central Plains, the Lu family, which was not even a famous family, quickly climbed from an inconspicuous small family to a big family in a very short period of time, so the old head of the Lu family brought everyone together to hope that this illegitimate son who had been abandoned would return to the family.
'Businessmen value profit over separation'
This is almost the current Central Plains people's biased view of businessmen, and even many people feel that no treachery and no business is the essence of businessmen.
Jiang Yangsheng looked at Zhao Axe Qiao with a suspicious face, and the latter smiled slightly, with a look of memory on his face.
"Since the end of the Spring and Autumn Injustice War, which can be called the catastrophe of the Central Plains, the old God of Wealth Lu Celadon has stepped down, and the war consumed almost all his spirit, so that he left his position earlier, although more than 20 years have passed, the old man Lu Celadon does not know that he is still in the world, but there are still people in the rivers and lakes who are thinking about the God of Wealth. β
Zhao Axe Qiao told the story.
"But what does this have to do with the Lu family, which is in full swing?"
Jiang Yangsheng asked very puzzled, because what Zhao Axe Qiao told didn't seem to have anything to do with the Lu family when the Qinhuai River was in full swing.
The latter smiled slightly, omitting those redundant tirades at the moment and cutting straight to the point: " Although people know that the God of Wealth has the ability to call for the wealth of the world, but after all, the Central Plains Commercial Bank is a group of businessmen who have not opened their hearts, they are a group of villains who are really hard-hearted, they worship the God of Wealth just because the God of Wealth can make them richer and richer, and the Qinhuai River Lu family, which has gradually become prosperous by relying on the reputation of the God of Wealth, is just a flash in the pan in the eyes of these shrewd and abnormal businessmen, and no one has ever put him in their eyes, and helping the Lu family is nothing more than the behavior of Aiwu and Wu who want to help the God of Wealthγ β
Jiang Yangsheng nodded, and now he understood why a powerful big family would return to square one overnight.
"So the Lu family will be beaten back to the original point on the night after Lu Celadon stepped down as the God of Wealth?"
Zhao Axe nodded without thinking.
"Businessmen are just selfish people who think about themselves, they know how to make trade-offs and investments, know how to avoid risks and maximize profits, when a family is still valuable, they will welcome and flatter, but when a family is useless, it will be like a foothold, and even fall into the well is not surprising. β
Jiang Yangsheng sighed, but his heart was very shocked, not because he sighed that the huge Lu family fell from the clouds overnight, but because he was lamenting that there was such a sacred and inviolable existence in the eyes of the businessman-God of Wealth.
"The God of Wealth in the Central Plains is nothing more than a belief and a guide in the eyes of the merchants, and also a messenger and guide for them and the dynasty. β
Jiang Yangsheng knew it in his heart, and his heart for this God of Wealth's chips was invisibly aggravated, the Great Zhou Tianzi was to the world, Jiang Loan was to Beilai, Lao Kong was to the rivers and lakes, and the God of Wealth was to the Shang Gang.
Zhao Axeqiao's words made Jiang Yangsheng understand more about the Shang Gang.
"Actually, the Central Plains Merchant Gang is not as loose as you know, this is actually a very close-knit organization. β
"What do you mean by that?"
Jiang Yangsheng was puzzled and asked Zhao Axqiao for advice.
"Perhaps it may seem to you that most of you as a businessman do your own thing, of course, it is undeniable that these are all facts, but what you know is just some traders, not businessmen, the real businessmen are not just a business, many of their businesses are related to each other. And these people who have mastered most of the business chain in their hands are the real business giants, every decision made by each person will affect the price of the dynasty, and most of these fat business giants will choose to huddle together for warmth, even if the dynasty changes or natural and man-made disasters have no impact on them, but their every move and every decision will affect the dynasty, in order to avoid these businessmen from doing anything beyond the norm will appear God of Wealth, the original God of Wealth is to balance those rich and rival businessmen. It's just that with the passage of time, the redistribution of wealth, and the alternation of power, this has made the God of Wealth a belief. β
"Are you the next God of Wealth?"
Although Jiang Yangsheng knew that this question was a bit presumptuous, he was very depressed in his heart, and he didn't vomit or feel unhappy.
Zhao Axqiao naturally didn't care, but shook his head and said with a wry smile: "How can it be so easy, every once in a while you have to face that group of old men, the room is full of gangsters, and the whole person is going crazy." β
Jiang Yangsheng smiled knowingly, but Zhao Axqiao didn't look like the kind of person who was willing to be lonely and bored.
"I know that many people are coveting this position, after all, it is rumored that as long as you can sit on the throne of the God of Wealth, you can become the master of wealth, in the face of such tempting conditions, many people try their best to get it, but people only see the God of Wealth when he orders the wealth of the Quartet, but they have never seen how much hard sweat he paid before becoming the God of Wealth, and the hard work he paid to meet the requirements. β
Zhao Axe Qiao said miserably, then sighed softly, and sighed: "It's not easy to sit in this position, and it's really like sitting on pins and needles." β
Jiang Yangsheng was silent, not only in the matter of being the God of Wealth, how easy is it to be the king of a country, a prince, a county guard, the lord of a city, or even the head of a family?
Is it easy for the Great Zhou Emperor? Now that the luck of the Great Zhou Kingdom is about to run out, and seeing the moment when the lamp is running out, can the Great Zhou Emperor, as the guardian of the country, still be able to sit still? If the old ancestor's country cannot keep the country, he will become a sinner for the ages; is it easy for Jiang to take out a loan? From a down-and-out crown prince who was out of power to the almost desolate fiefdom of Beilai with his tail between his legs like a lost dog, from a situation where almost one person was an army, he laid a good situation in Huanghuang Beilai, and from a prince who didn't know when he would be assassinated to become the first prince of the Great Zhou who was on an equal footing with today's son, Jiang Loan's contribution is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine. Is it easy for Chen Kumu? For a woman who has never spoken, he will worship the Buddha for the rest of his life, and finally become a demon in anger for a woman, and the bitter sea and the shore are only separated by a line, but Chen Kumu has never looked back after all, he still wants to find that person after a hundred years.
"Just like the princes of the Son of Heaven, everyone will shout that 'the prince will have a kind of peace', but not everyone can be a prince and noble. β
Zhao Axe Qiao was unprecedentedly silent, and after a long time, he stared at the handsome young man in front of him for a moment, and asked softly: "Yangsheng, are you willing to be this God of Wealth?"
