Tianjin began to develop rapidly in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Di changed this place to Tianjin in order to commemorate the "Battle of Jingyan" that started from this. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info as a military important place, in the southwest of the Sancha River estuary in the area of Xiaozhigu, build a city and set up a guard, called Tianjin Wei. Up to now, Tianjin Left Guard and Right Guard have been added, making it a famous city.

Due to the intersection of the north and south canals, this place has a development foundation, and is close to the capital and close to the sea, making Tianjin's commerce and trade extremely prosperous.

The Ming Dynasty had a ban on the sea, and the film rate was not allowed to go to the sea, but this thing couldn't be stopped at all, not to mention the fishermen and people who had to go to the sea in order to survive, even those rich merchants who lived with taste and taste, and they also competed to go to the sea to do business for profit.

There is a wharf in Tianjin, which has been somewhat abandoned over the years, but if you supervise carefully, you will know that there are occasionally large ships and small boats docking. These ships came from other places, and most of them were Jiangnan merchants.

Lin Changsheng told Zhu Houzhao that everything in the world is nothing more than politics, military, industry, and business. As a descendant, how can we not understand the mystery of business. He first traded with 13,000 people, took half of his channels, and settled and cultivated his own people.

These people were raised by 13,000, but at the same time, those shops were not Lin Changsheng's, they just got some extra money. This money is the basis for him to develop his business.

In the arrangement of these days, he set his sights on Tianjin Wei, and Zhu Houzhao also secretly controlled Tianjin Wei in his hands through various means.

In a compound near the sea, Lin Changsheng looked at the civil and military who came and said with a smile: "Everyone is here." This time, I have come to be ordered by His Majesty to establish commerce and trade here and increase wealth. His gaze fell on the first person on the left, and said, "Lord Wang, you are the capital of this place, tell me about the development of these days." ”

Lord Wang got up, first saluted Lin Changsheng, and then clasped his fists at his colleagues, and said, "Master Lin, through the full help of the guard and the Jinyi guard, now all parts of Tianjin are our people. They are absolutely loyal to His Majesty, and they will not ignore Cao Zhengchun and Zhu, and the matter explained by the adults will be handled by the lower officials. Three, get up and tell Lord Wang to see ......"

Immediately, three people dressed as businessmen stood up, Lin Changsheng swept his eyes over them, and said with a smile: "I don't know what the three of them are capable of?"

The three of them glanced at each other and said in unison: "I don't dare to show off in front of adults, but our ancestors are all businessmen, and there are three generations that have been passed down to us. ”

Lin Changsheng nodded, these were not what he wanted, and motioned for the three of them to continue.

The three of them obviously knew what to say, and one of them said: "There is a workshop in the next hand, which usually produces some farm tools, and there are three blacksmith masters and eight apprentices. ”

"There is a small shipyard in my hands, and I usually build some fishing boats, and there are seven masters and thirteen apprentices. ”

"I was in the grocery business, through the grassland desert, and I had three horse teams under my command. ”

Lin Changsheng said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad." Lord Wang, give the three of you the people I brought. ”

"Yes!"

Business is a great means to gather wealth, especially for Lin Changsheng. However, commercial means alone will not work. In ancient times, you had no one and no backer, and no matter how good your business skills were, it was nonsense.

Now, Lin Changsheng has everything ready. He has channels, people, technology, and backers...... It can be said that he is only short of physical objects now, and as long as there is innovation, he will definitely spread it out quickly and make a lot of money.

No, under the influence of the general craftsmen and technology he brought, he soon innovated all kinds of agricultural tools, and in order to reduce the cost, Lin Changsheng asked them to recruit more people, and divide the places that can be differentiated, forming a kind of primary assembly line production. At the same time, in order to reduce expenses, he directly brought the prisoners in the prison to work, which was called labor reform.

Under his means, in just one month, the finished product came out, which was several new farm tools. He asked three merchants to experiment on his Zhuangzi, and the tenants all said it was good.

With these, he contacted the 13,000 people here and asked them to start using their own channels to distribute goods.

The day before he left, the man came and gave him the money for the first shipment, three thousand taels. It's only been a month, and those shops have also placed orders for goods.

If you calculate it carefully, this is more than the goods going out, and he can at least recover eight thousand taels. Throw out the cost, and make three or four thousand taels.

"Good ......" Lin Changsheng smiled, and finally explained to Lord Wang: "We don't have our own fleet yet, and it's not easy to sail on the canal, so it's better to be at sea." I have come here with so many craftsmen just to forge my own big ship. You're going to have to keep an eye on that, you know?"

"Yes!"

Back in the capital, Lin Changsheng told him about Tianjin. Zhu Houzhao was also very happy, took the three thousand taels of silver tickets and looked left and right, and said happily: "Three thousand taels a month, it's too profitable." ”

He is not an emperor who doesn't know anything at this time, these days he is studying with those children and school in the school, and he is also involved in business, and the most basic thing is people's spending power.

He knew that ordinary people could not spend ten taels of silver a year, three thousand taels, enough to support three hundred people for a year. And that's still earned in January.

"What Master said is really right, businessmen are really profitable. Zhu Houzhao sighed with emotion.

Lin Changsheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty is also quite talented in this regard, and he has much more benefits than those students. ”

Zhu Houzhao shook his head and said, "It's just that I have seen more." If there is no teacher to teach, you will not understand, and you will not be deceived by those courtiers. ”

Looking at the three thousand taels of silver tickets, he was really very emotional.

Most of the knowledge about business he learned in the school didn't take it to heart, and what he remembered in his heart were those basic things, because they were things that the courtiers deceived him, and how could he not be impressed by the combination of the two?

Now, Lin Changsheng has taught him another lesson, telling him how businessmen make money.

Inexplicably, he thought of the sentence in the classroom - genius wealth is limited, business wealth is almost unlimited.

What this sentence meant, the master didn't know, it was left by Lin Changsheng. He took the opportunity to say, "Master, how do you understand the sentence you left in the Chamber of Commerce?"

Lin Changsheng smiled: "It's very understandable." The wealth in the world is limited, Your Majesty should know this sentence. ”

The emperor nodded and said, "I know this, but I still want to hear from the master." ”

"Okay!" Seeing him ask, Lin Changsheng was also a little happy. The biggest difference between ancient and modern times is business, Lin Changsheng imperceptibly, that is, to change Zhu Houzhao's point of view, only in this way can he not fall into the previous social cycle.

"People all over the world say that wealth is limited, which is true, just like land, gold and silver, which are all limited, but no one has said how much. The land is easy to say, but the gold and silver are hard to say, because those gold and silver mines are mined all the time. He is, so to speak, increased. Your Majesty should remember this. And wealth is not only land, gold and silver, but also all kinds of things, such as cloth, horses, cattle and sheep, etc., and people, which are also wealth. ”

"Your Majesty, look at the north, if there are enough of us there, we don't have to be afraid of those nomads. Because of the abundance, they will want to survive, and they will in turn persecute the courtiers, telling them to strengthen the official army and expand outward. In this way, the amount of land will naturally increase, and those who have no land and little land will also be arranged. ”

"It's about immigration, and I hope Your Majesty can remember it. ”

"Let's talk about how much money is unlimited. This sentence has two meanings, one is the literal meaning, business wealth is unlimited. ”

Zhu Houzhao was puzzled: "Master, since the wealth in the world is limited, why is the wealth unlimited?"

Lin Changsheng said with a smile: "Because it is impossible for one person to own the wealth of the world, just like Your Majesty, it seems that he owns the whole world, but is this really the case?"

"This ......" Zhu Houzhao hesitated for a moment and said, "Master is saying that no matter how powerful a person is, he cannot have the wealth of the world, so it is unlimited." This is when manpower is exhausted. ”

"Exactly. Lin Changsheng said: "This layer is only from the existing wealth, and there is another layer of business wealth, that is, industry and commerce...... Dare to ask Your Majesty, how much is this dress on your body worth?"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Master, is this a joke?"

"Haha...... What Master meant was that there were no such gorgeous clothes before, but now they are. This is what the worker created, and although this garment is not gold or silver, can Your Majesty say that it is not wealth?"

Zhu Houzhao was inexplicably surprised, yes, this dress is also wealth, all the clothes and fabrics in the world are wealth, wealth other than gold and silver, this is equal to the wealth created by people.

"That's true for clothes, it's true for other things. This is the creation of labor, and it is the wealth of the land outside of gold and silver. And through business, these things have value. ”

"In this way, the union of industry and commerce is not equivalent to unlimited wealth?" (To be continued.) )
