Until he left the palace gate, Wang Shun tried his best to show off his wealth to Zhang Yue and Liu Jin.

But what he didn't know was that the more rare treasures he took out, the more miserable his future might be.

The name was recorded in the book by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. How could it be better to get it?

After leaving the palace and boarding the carriage, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin immediately continued their journey.

"Zhang Shizhong, is this merchant's profit so generous?" After sitting in the carriage, Liu Jin thought for a long time and finally asked Zhang Yue.

"Of course..." Zhang Yue's mind flashed through the words recorded in "Records of the Grand Historian. Biography of Merchandise" and "Han Shu. Food and Memorial Records". He thought for a while and said, "I heard that there are rumors in the market: If the profit is not as good as the price, it will not be a good cause..."

"20% of the profits are not good business!" Liu Jin was a little incredible.

"Of course!" Zhang Yue said calmly: "It is not the benefit of industry and commerce. How can the Grand Secretary and the Agricultural Bank of China support it to this day?"

Now the salt and iron income of the Grand Minister's farmers is almost over the mouth-to-tube income.

It is firmly ranked among the top three in the country's wealth, and its status is almost unshakable.

In order to give Liu Jin a more intuitive understanding, Zhang Yue thought about it and said to him: "If the population of tens of millions today is just a product that consumes 100 yuan per person per year, it is a market of millions..."

"What's more, since Bowang Hou dug up the Western Regions, the markets of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions and their distant countries have gradually been opened by Han merchants!"

Now, the Silk Road has begun to take shape.

Han merchants who set out from Chang'an transported a large number of goods to the Western Regions, and returned from the Western Regions, passed through Kangju, Daxia, and sold them to Shidu, Anxi, Daqin and other places.

The emerging Silk Road suddenly ignited the business enthusiasm of the whole world and created countless business myths.

Liu Jin listened and sighed: "I feel sorry for the good people who work hard to suffer from poverty, but those who do business and low-income can enjoy such wealth..."

This is also the first reaction of most Han nobles and scholars after seeing the exaggerated show of merchants who became rich, a group of people with low careers and low births, but they are rich and noble, and they are as rich as princes. Fuck you to death!

"Although what Your Highness said is, it is a bit extreme..." Zhang Yue said softly: "I heard that Hongfan's eight governments, one is food, and the other is goods. Zhou's book says: If the farmers do not come out, there will be no food. If the workers do not come out, there will be no business. If the merchant does not come out, the three treasures will be lost. If the fish does not come out, there will be little wealth! In the Spring and Autumn Period, Guan Zhong used the power of light and heavy, used fish and salt to benefit Heng Gong, and nine combinations of princes to help the world. Confucius praised: "Mini Guan Zhong, I am sent to Zuo Zhu!"

"It can be seen that the ancient sages and sages had no idea of ​​being slighted in Shang. The real people who were slighted in Shang started from Qin... Shang Jun thought that merchants were not the people who were scrambling the law, so he banned the law with cool laws and assisted in suppressing and discriminating the system..."

"However... Shang Jun could not have imagined that the heart for wealth and the thought of seeking wealth is the nature of human beings. Whether it is cool or harsh policies, it is not enough to scare away the people's desire and pursuit of wealth..."

"During the seventh generation of Qin State, there was a rich and wealthy man from the Wu family, who was rich and rich with a widow, who was rich enough to rival a country!"

"As for the Qin King's Government, there was Lu Buwei who took over the Qin Dynasty's country with 'sexy goods' and claimed to be a good man... From this we can see that merchants and industry and commerce are not only unforgivable to kill them!"

"I think..." Zhang Yue looked at Liu Jin and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, why not learn from Dayu to control the flood?"

"It's better to be loose than blocking?" Liu Jin murmured.

"Yes!" Zhang Yue smiled and said, "It is better to be distracted than blocking, and it is better to be guided than distracting. Merchants are harmful to people's customs and hurt farming. Everyone in the world sees it. From the perspective of ministers, the court should build an official office to guide and supervise merchants' affairs. If there is any illegality or tax evasion, they will be severely punished, and those who abide by the law and pay tax actively will be commended... In this way, even merchants can educate them and know benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and forgiveness..."

Listening to Zhang Yue's words, Liu Jin's eyes suddenly lit up.

But he immediately remembered some things and said dejectedly: "If this is the case, I'm afraid everyone in the world will be unable to convince!"

Yes, Sang Hongyang also played the official business of salt and iron, did the same thing and interfered in the business of hoarding, and was already spurned to his paralysis.

If there is another central organization that specializes in managing businessmen.

Others don’t know, but the Guliang School will be in a mess.

The big merchants in Qi, Lu, Liang and Chu must not do it.

This matter is so riotous that it has a great impact, and it is not something he and Zhang Yue can control now.

Zhang Yuezi also understood that the Legalists spent two hundred years in the Warring States Period to write the spirit of Qiu Shang and Qi Shang into the bone marrow of the literati and nobles of Xia.

To change the world's views on merchants or industry and commerce, this is not a job that can be done overnight.

The backward production technology and social models before the B.C. are also untolerable. There are too many people in a country who are separated from production, especially grain production.

Zhang Yue will not forget that in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the prosperity of the developed handicraft industry in the Jiangnan region, especially the weaving industry, directly led to the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

Because too many mulberry trees have been replanted in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas.

Therefore, local grain production has plummeted year by year, and in the later stages, it is even necessary to import grain from Huguang.

When the north encounters a small glacier, there will be constant drought.

The fragile rule of the Ming Dynasty collapsed immediately.

Therefore, in China, I want to develop industry and commerce.

The first and most important problem to be solved is not funds, laws, systems and environment.

But food security.

Only when China's grain can be greatly enriched and has several stable grain-producing areas can China have the conditions to play industrialization.

Otherwise, anyone who engages in industrialization regardless of food security is a hooligan.

Fortunately, Zhang Yue has the capital.

With space help, as long as the promotion benefits, the empire's grain output will double in the next ten years, just around the corner!

Once the grain output keeps up, it means that many wealthy people can be liberated.

This has the foundation for playing business technology.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue was full of confidence and looked at Liu Jin with a radiant look, and said, "Your Highness, don't worry..."

He said meaningfully: "I have heard an elder say: The world belongs to us, and to you, but in the final analysis it is yours..."

After hearing this, Liu Jin's eyes lit up and he looked at Zhang Yue deeply.

…………………………………………

In the next two days, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin followed the straight road and headed south, visited more than ten pavilions, inspected many farmers and powerful families in Xinfeng Township, and painted the basin directions of the two rivers flowing through Xinfeng Township, Xinfeng Township and several streams on cloth.

When they arrived at the gate of Xinfeng County, the documentary documents and river maps recorded had already filled a whole box.

Along the way, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin's biggest gain was to have first-hand information and impressions of the areas they have traveled.

Now, Dongyushe and Xinfeng Township in Xinfeng County are no longer two vague impressions.
Chapter completed!
