In the conference room, the lively and jubilant scene lasted for a long time.

After Chen Ping and others calmed down a little, Chen Xu smiled and said, "Although the Oriental Road has not been completely completed, there is definitely no doubt that the project will be completed in advance. With your support, my bet with Li Xiang has been settled today, but everything is difficult at the beginning... Well, it is difficult in the middle, but the ending is even more difficult, so don't be too excited. The journey of thousands of miles has only taken a small step today. Everyone should know the next task, that is, to make large-scale modifications to the business rules, and this matter is the top priority, and it is also the ultimate goal of my efforts to make this eternal bet with Li Xiang... The entire Oriental Road invested 400 million yuan, and the investment raised more than 200 million yuan. The total number of merchants in the large and small areas participated in the construction of the entire Oriental Road exceeded 10,000. The officials, craftsmen, and civilians participated in the construction of the entire Oriental Road.

Husband, slaves and prisoners totaled more than 500,000, lasting for a whole year... This is an unprecedented huge project, which is no less than a battle to destroy the country, but the court did not give out a stone of money and grain. All the investments were merchants. Of course, you spared no effort to promote and support. Today, the Japanese Marquis came here, one to thank you for your help, and at the same time, I would like to encourage you. This bet is not only the victory of this marquis, but also the victory of all merchants in the world, but also the victory of your newspaper office. It is the fairness and selflessness you uphold, which made the bet end perfectly. At noon today, I am in Qinghe Garden to celebrate this hard-won victory. At the same time, the prize money of everyone in the newspaper office will double at the end of this year, because from today, I, Daqin, will start an unprecedented commercial reform..."

"Mr. Marquis~Mr. Marquis~"

The people in the entire conference room waved their fists and began to shout in an orderly manner, feeling very excited.

This bet is as Chen Xu said that victory is not easy.

From planning to starting construction to the point where Dongfang Road is now, countless reporters have been busy with more than 2,000 miles of Dongfang Road and even hundreds of counties on both sides of the river, constantly writing down the things that happened during the road construction into press releases and transmitting them back. Then the newspaper organized a large number of editors and people to select and modify. Each issue of the newspaper must inform the progress of the Dongfang Road project and the enthusiastic participation of merchants from all over the country in this matter through a large amount of space, and at the same time, it is constantly promoting the importance of this road.

It is precisely under this constant publicity and advocacy that the sentiment of merchants across the country has been greatly mobilized. All merchants and engineering teams involved in fundraising have worked hard to speed up construction like chicken blood. Merchants who have obtained the qualification for cement factory authorization have also spared no effort to invest huge funds to build factories and manufacture cement.

Everyone has only one purpose, that is, to help Chen Xu complete this difficult eternal bet.

As long as Chen Xu wins, the status of merchants will inevitably be greatly improved and the business environment will be greatly improved.

Only the newspaper founded by Chen Xu and Chen Ping and others who followed Chen Xu to get a very high status can ultimately reflect their own value and gain recognition from the world.

This is the responsibility of the guest and the best way to reflect the guest's value.

The lord is worried about the humiliation of his ministers, and the lord is humiliated by his ministers. Chen Xu's status is no less than that of the past princes. From the day he followed the lords of Qinghe, everyone in the newspaper office has been firmly tied to Chen Xu, and both losses and prospers.

And at present, everyone's efforts have finally paid off.

At noon, Chen Xu invited a group of middle and senior leaders of the newspaper office at Qinghe Hotel, and arranged the work tasks and arrangements for the newspaper office in the later period, which was to promote the upcoming revision of the commercial law. He invited famous scholars from all over the world who were proficient in business and laws to Xianyang to discuss the revision of the commercial law, and also solicited various policy and suggestions on commercial law.

"Mr. Marquis, it's not just your word to modify the Shang rules. Why don't you just change it?" A group of people were drinking and chatting, and some people expressed doubts about Chen Xu's fantasy behavior.

"When climbing a high, the arms are not lengthened, but the ones who see them are far away; when shouting with the wind, the sound is not fastened, but the ones who hear them are obvious; when riding with horses, the ones who do not benefit from the horses, but lead to a thousand miles; when riding with boats, the ones who do not have water, but can cut off rivers and rivers. A gentleman is not born differently, and he is good at using things."

Chen Xu did not give a positive answer, but recited Xunzi's words.

Chen Pingqiu Cheng and everyone on the table put down their wine glasses and began to ponder.

If there is any of the classics of the hundreds of schools of thought that are the most familiar to you, it must be Xunzi.

Because in order to implement the strategy of integrating hundreds of schools of thought and to deal with Li Si, Chen Xu was the first celebrity to sacrifice to Xunzi. From the day the newspaper was founded, almost all of Xunzi's articles were published. Moreover, the first set of Hundred Schools series published after the bookstore was founded was "Xunzi". The collection of more than 40 articles was compiled and annotated by An Yuliang, Feng Zi'an and Zhang Cang, and others, plus the personal biography of Xunzi's study tour, the whole set of more than ten books and more than 300,000 words formed a set of eye-catching works. One thousand sets were released in the first issue, and they were sold out in the newspaper on the first day of its launch. They were stolen in one hour.

This passage written by Chen Xu is the most famous "Encouraging Learning" chapter of Xunzi. Li Si once recited it in Zichen Hall.

As one of the most widely circulated famous chapters, the Encouragement Chapter still appears in the textbooks of middle school students two thousand years later, which shows the significance and connotation of this article.

No one is unfamiliar with Xunzi's articles at the table. Almost all of them can recite them all. As the saying goes, if they are good, they will be effective. Because Chen Xu strongly praised Xunzi, almost all the people who followed him were interested in Xunzi, and even the emperor asked all the young masters to learn Xunzi's theory of governing the country.

Seeing everyone's contemplative expressions, Chen Xu smiled and said, "You are all intelligent and wise people. These words Xunzi said are actually the best guidance for us in the future. What was our original intention of starting a newspaper? It was to vigorously promote our country's governance strategy. I and Li Xiang's strategy of governing the country would inevitably have a fight. It is precisely with the continuous publicity and promotion of newspapers that we will have today's victory. Newspapers are our cars, horses, boats, and we can go faster and farther without fear of rivers, lakes and seas."

"Now the Great Qin Dynasty is at a time of great change, but relying solely on the power of me and you are far from enough. There are many strange people in the people who hide and crouch, but these people are not keen on power or position or have a great resistance to the current strict magical rule and are unwilling to enter the court to become officials. Therefore, we must use the power of the newspaper, just like waving at the height and shouting with the wind, spreading the information we want to reform to the entire Great Qin Dynasty, so that capable people and strange people who are determined to change the national policy will come out to help us shake the flag and shout, and try to let them participate."

"Confucius said that there must be my teacher when three people go. Even if the strategy proposed by these people is not satisfactory, they will always get some inspiration. What's more, the wise will make mistakes, and the foolish will make a gain. How can a person's wisdom be compared with countless wise men in the world? This marquis is not a real god, so how can he cover everything? Therefore, the more people involved in the amendment of the Shang Dynasty, the more people will be recognized by the world. Only when there are more people participating, the law can truly be integrated into the hearts and be followed by everyone, but the law will naturally have it.

His seriousness is not that the policy can be imaginative, it must be in line with the current national conditions and national policies. It does not matter how many people can participate in it in the end. What is important is that the people of the world must know that the business law that the reform of this Hou was not like Li Si and many disciples of the Legalists to fool and suppress the people, but to establish a new business model through the new business law, regulate business behavior, and allow many merchants and operators to abide by the law and make reasonable profits, and it is not that they think that the law can be abolished from then on and get away from the law..."

After Chen Xu made a long discussion, he explained the matter clearly and clearly, and Chen Ping and others nodded one by one.

"In short, the law is a supplement and constraint of morality, and the role of the law is ultimately to maintain morality and uphold justice. Therefore, the law must be exposed in the sun, so that everyone can clearly understand the boundaries of the law. Punishing evil and promoting good is the ultimate meaning of the law, and it is definitely not a foolish people to bully the good. Harsh laws and taxes are a shame for governing the country by magic. Therefore, the law implemented by this marquis must be a good law. If the reform of Shangjun in a century has made the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty, then the reform of this marquis will make the prosperity of the entire China, the country is strong and the people are prosperous and the people are happy. This is the ultimate purpose of the reform of this marquis. I will remember what I say today..."

"I'd like to say it clearly, let's listen to the marquis' teachings!" Chen Ping and others stood up together and saluted respectfully.

"We want to be the new legalists of the Qin Dynasty, redevelop the old and new magic, take into account both the law, etiquette and morality, and the scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. This may not be done today, or tomorrow, but in the future, we must do it. The newspaper is the most important tool for us to promote the new magic. You have an important responsibility on your shoulders. This is not only the expectation of this marquis, but also a trust for you. Come and drink a cup to congratulate the future of the Qin Dynasty..."

Chen Xu raised his glass full of red wine.

"We are the one who respects the Marquis and congratulates the prosperity and strength of the Qin Dynasty~"
