The emergence of commerce can be traced back to after Zhou Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty. In fact, simple transactions existed before the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, when humans entered tribal civilizations. However, after Zhou Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty, the survivors of the Shang Dynasty wandered among various tribes in order to make ends meet.

To earn survival materials through transactions, the form of transaction was defined as business from that time.

From the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the present, merchants have had one of their most glorious periods, which was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The royal family declined and the feudal lords were divided. The trading model shifted from being controlled by the government to gradually flowing into the private sector. Some big merchants took advantage of the situation to rise. The status of merchants during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

It was extremely high, and many businessmen with strong financial resources appeared in various places. The business world also gradually took shape during this period, and many outstanding figures also appeared.

For example, the Confucian businessman Zigong who advocated the value of rare things, Bai Gui who was optimistic about changing times, Fan Li who advocated small profits but quick turnover, and Lu Buwei who lived with rare goods.

However, the glory of the trade ended here. After the First Emperor unified the six countries and unified the currency weights and measures, the world rested and prospered. Whether it is the First Emperor or the Great Ancestor, until now, the thoughts of governing the country have gradually focused on focusing on agriculture and suppressing commerce.

As for the reason, Chen Mo wasn't too sure, so he decided to study the business world. He didn't plan to become a big businessman, but at least this kind of business could enrich the country, and many sages had made achievements. Why did all the emperors choose to suppress it?

Arriving at the back hall, Chen Mo lay on the couch and invited the System God to choose to study business. He wanted to understand these things and then decide what to do next.

Dian Wei glanced at Chen Mo, who was sleeping on the couch, and leaned close to Man Chong and whispered: "Bo Ning, do you think my lord was too tired last night?"

"My lord, please don't make any assumptions about your family affairs!" Man Chong raised his eyes and glanced at Dian Wei.

"My lord rarely rested during the day in the past. Now that my lord is young, I'm worried that he is obsessed with beauty..." Dian Wei sat next to Man Chong and took a scroll of bamboo slips to read. He is now considered to be literate.

As a person, most of the things above can be understood.

"My lord is a man of great wisdom. He knows how to control himself. You don't need to worry about this matter." Man Chong said without raising his head.

"Speaking of which, I thought there would be a big battle against the Baibo bandits this time. Who knew those Baibo bandits were so useless? My lord made a plan and killed each other, allowing our army to gain the land of four counties." Dian Wei

Somewhat helplessly.

"Going to attack with troops, my lord did the right thing." Man Chong responded casually.

"Hey, I don't know when the next expedition will be." Dian Wei said helplessly.

"There will still be a battle this year." Man Chong thought about it seriously this time and said: "The Baibo bandits are raiding too far away, Xihe and other places. Recently, there has been an influx of refugees in the public security area. Some people came to ask for help yesterday.

"

"Then why don't you agree?" Dian Wei said excitedly.

"Why do you agree?" Man Chong said calmly: "My lord wants Bingzhou Shepherd, not a thank you from the Taiyuan Prefect. I have secretly contacted Bingzhou's wealthy family with Mr. Ziyuan and jointly invited my lord to join Bingzhou. When the news comes,

Naturally we will send troops, but it will take time, and Bingzhou is not yet exhausted, so we can take advantage of this period to arrange the lord's marriage."

Dian Wei smacked his lips. So, after the lord's wedding, he might have to go on war again? Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Man Chong staring at him for a moment, which made Dian Wei feel a little numb: "Uncle

Ning, what do you think I am doing?"

"If you have nothing to do, help me deliver this to Mr. Ziyuan. He should be in Linfen now." Man Chong handed a bamboo slip sealed with fire paint to Dian Weidao.

"Why do you want me to go?" Dian Wei's eyes widened in shock.

"Now in the government office, apart from my lord, you are the most free. I can't send my lord to do things, so I can only bother you." Man Chong looked at Dian Wei seriously and said, "Maybe I can wake my lord up now.

?”

"No need, I'll just go." Dian Wei had no choice but to stand up, took the bamboo slips and turned to leave.

Looking at Dian Wei's back, Man Chong breathed a sigh of relief, the talkative man was finally gone.

…

For Chen Mo, this sleep was very long.

Regarding business, he knew more about the allusions. Since Shang Yang's reform, the idea of ​​​​valuing agriculture and suppressing business has gradually become deeply rooted, and there are very few remaining classics. Chen Mo found an unnamed bamboo slip on business in Taiyuan University, but the content

It is also incomplete and has no name. What is stated above are some basic rules of buying low and selling high.

In the dream training camp, the interpretation of business seems to be more based on this. I have what others don't have, I am honest when others have them, and I am honest when others don't have them. I always feel that this business philosophy has some similarities with the art of war, but what I pay more attention to is...

It is the capture of information and the exploration of the hidden value of things.

An item, even if it is gold or silver, has no value in itself. However, Zigong proposed that rare things should be valued, and then add some exaggeration to make them valuable the moment they are displayed on the shelf.

The value of the goods itself is completely different from the value of it as a commodity. A jar of water is not valuable in the Central Plains, but if it is transported to the Western Regions, where there is drought and extreme water shortage, it is very valuable. It seems that

Huge profits, but within this, transportation, protection and possible risks along the way can all be counted in this value.

Currency plays an extremely important role in this and is an important standard for measuring the value of commodities. Nowadays, currency in Hedong and even the entire Sanfu area is no longer in circulation. It seems that it is just because Dong Zhuo abolished the old currency, but in fact it is the business in this area.

It was caused by the decline of business, and there are many reasons for the decline of business, such as the weakening of output, the loss of the credibility of the court, etc. To reverse this problem, the most important thing is to restore people's livelihood, and at the same time, the credibility of the government must also be restored.

pick up.

Until the end of the dream, his business skills had reached level nine, but Chen Mo did not wake up from the couch. The deeper he studied business, the more problems appeared. Although it could bring huge profits, Chen Mo felt that

This thing is like a double-edged sword. What would happen if Hedong and even Bingzhou vigorously encourage business?

Moreover, if business develops to a certain extent, it seems that it may threaten the government. Lu Buwei's rare goods are the best example. Chen Mo hopes to find a way to solve the current conflicts in Hedong, but he does not want this matter to escape his control.

bring unpredictable consequences.

What would happen if everyone under the government was motivated by profit?

With such a mood, Chen Mo looked towards the special dream.

Each consumption of one hundred luck can allow people to experience a life in a dream. The most important thing is that the luck brought by He Shibi seems to be inexhaustible. After Chen Mo came out of the special dream last time

, the luck is still one hundred, this should be brought by the He's Bi. As for how much luck is stored in the He's Bi, no one knows. Chen Mo is also worried that once the Qi in the He's Bi is used up, he will

When luck disappears in an instant, what kind of misfortune will result? And although most memories in dreams will disappear after waking up from the dream, the emotions that remain are very uncomfortable. After experiencing a special dream, it was very difficult to

For a long time, Chen Mo was in a gloomy mood every day. It took a full month before that feeling gradually disappeared. This is why Chen Mo never entered a special dream state again.

It seems that in response to Chen Mo's thoughts, in this dream, Chen Mo is the young master of a chamber of commerce. In this dream world, it is called the young master's family. The strange thing is that when Chen Mo enters a special dream, he has the memory of the outside world.

But after the special dream ends, most of the memories in the dream are blurred.

"My condolences to the Young Master family, this Chamber of Commerce will still need to be supported by the Young Master family in the future!" The scene appeared in a hall full of silk. Chen Mo was kneeling in front of a coffin, with the elderly steward standing behind Chen Mo.

As for the identity of this dream, it was a chamber of commerce, mainly engaged in cloth trading, but the old boss suddenly died suddenly, and young Chen Mo wanted to support the entire chamber of commerce.

Although they are about the same age, Chen Mo has a lot of experience. He is not comparable to ordinary teenagers, and he is not completely clueless about business.

The shopping mall was like a battlefield. This was Chen Mo's biggest feeling in the few days after entering the dreamland. Friends from his old employer came to collect debts one after another. The merchants who originally supplied the chamber of commerce raised their prices, which suddenly put the chamber of commerce into a situation of internal and external difficulties.

Chen Mo did not panic, however. Chen Mo checked the IOUs with those who came to collect debts one by one, and said good things to those who were not due. If it still didn't work, he would use the borrowed money as a excuse, and he would not pay back the debt before the time was up.

Among them, some of the unwarranted debts were turned over to the government one by one by Chen Mo.

As for the merchants who supplied goods, Chen Mo ignored them. After finding out the purchasing channels of these merchants, he came to negotiate one by one to obtain raw materials at a higher price. He became a subordinate of the Chen family and formed an industrial chain. And then the most important thing

Just to open up the market, Chen Mo began to create public opinion. Due to the death of his old boss, the Chen family was struggling to maintain the young boss's family. Rumors of preparations for a liquidation sale began to spread. For a time, the Chen family's cloth sales increased significantly. In just one month, not only

Pay off the debts you accumulated before and make a small profit.

At the same time, Chen Mo borrowed some money from his close associates and took advantage of the sales to build pavements in surrounding counties. At the same time, he made good friends with the local government, and his business territory continued to expand. Within a year, the business network spread

To the whole world.

But Chen Mo's purpose was not to make money in his dreams. No matter how much he earned, it was useless. He spread his business experience to the outside world. For a time, many people in the world started doing business. In the end, even the imperial court felt that the merchant's status was too high.
