Chapter 86 Businessman seeks profit

"To be faithful and harmonious is called profit for people. To fight and kill each other is called trouble for people. Therefore, the reason why sages govern the seven emotions of people and cultivate ten meanings. To be faithful and harmonious is to be polite and entitle to fight for things, how can we cure rituals? Food and men, the great things of people are there. Death and poverty are there, and people are there. Therefore, evil is the great things of the heart. People hide their hearts and cannot measure them. Beautiful and evil are all in their hearts, and they cannot see their own straits. Once they are poor, how can they give up their etiquette?"

Under the shade of the tree in the idle garden, the seven or eight-year-old child held the bamboo slips in his hand, and the sound of reading aloud came from the stone table. In front of the stone table, there was another twelve or thirteen-year-old young man holding the bamboo slips, but his pretty and cute face could not bring up a trace of jing.

"Fifth sister, stop thinking, sister is almost suffocating." Zhen Rong lay on the stone table without any awareness, and two beautiful and slender long tulips were shaking and tapping casually.

Zhen Mi, who was holding the "Book of Rites", came to Zhen Rong with a calm tone.

"My mother said that she would let her sister cultivate herself and not be able to indulge in and have fun anymore."

Zhen Rong flattened his mouth, sat up and held Zhen Mi's pink face with both hands, and luànrou.

"I am my sister, you are my sister. When my mother comes, I will listen to my mother. When my mother is away, you must listen to my sister."

Zhen Mi's face was constantly deformed, and she cried without tears.

"Sister Four, let me go. When you see me, you will laugh at the Zhen family."

Not only did Zhen Rong not restrain himself, but he also became more aggressive and became more vigorous.

"Who dares to laugh, who dares to laugh, my brother-in-law is the biggest, and I am not afraid of anyone with my brother-in-law's support."

Zhen Rong was hit on the back of the head, and the sound was loud, but the person who actually came did not use any force.

Zhen Mi's faces were squeezed by Zhen Rong's palms and her mouth was protruding. Little lilac could be seen between the two rows of white teeth, widening her eyes and looking at the person behind Zhen Rong incredibly.

This funny look obviously made the person laugh, and tears gushed from the corners of Zhen Mi's eyes.

Why do you always look so embarrassing in front of him?

Obviously, Zhen Rong had never been taught a lesson by his elders. He was hit on the back of the head. He was stunned. He turned his head with a dull expression, raised his face and looked at the person standing behind him. He stutteredly asked, "Sister, brother-in-law? Why are you here? You miss me? Why are you hitting me?"

Guo Jia pinched Zhen Rong's face and pulled it, leaned down and asked with a smile, "That's how you treat your sister?"

The wind leaked from his mouth, and Zhen Rong's hands finally left Zhen Mi's cheeks, covering Guo Jia's hands and let him be gentle.

"Brother-in-law, it hurts, it hurts."

Guo Jia let go, Zhen Rong routes half of his face, staring at Guo Jia with anger and speaks out. Zhen Mi also covered her face and bowed to Guo Jia, "I have seen my brother-in-law."

After walking over and stroking it on Zhen Mi's head, Guo Jia asked, "Does she always bully you?"

Zhen Mi blushed, glanced at Zhen Rong, who was constantly threatening, and shook her head slightly.

"Oh, Rong'er, you are really the little bully of the Zhen family. How did you bully your sister? When you were young, why didn't I see that you had the potential to be evil?"

After sitting down, Guo Jia pulled Zhen Mi in front of her and asked her to open her mouth to see if there were any signs of teeth rubbing against her mouth. Zhen Mi closed her eyes and her face turned red as if she was blushing.

"Brother-in-law, you are biased. My face is swollen and swollen, look, look."

Zhen Rong also came over and pointed at half of his face that had been pinched by Guo Jia.

After using some force, Guo Jia knew it. Zhen Rong's face was as intact as before. After careful look, it was white and red, as smooth as usual.

"Mi'er, if she still bullies you in the future, your mother doesn't care. You come to my mansion to find me and I will teach her a lesson."

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Zhen Mi nodded, glanced at Zhen Rong, who was so aggrieved that he wanted to cry, and hurriedly said, "Sister Fourth is treating me very well, and I didn't bully me, no."

Unexpectedly, Zhen Rongwei was quite handsome in the Zhen family. Guo Jia slapped Zhen Mi's nose and said, "Go and help me see what your elder brother is doing. When I entered the mansion, I had already asked the servants to inform me, but now he hasn't come yet, go and have a look."

Zhen Mi took the errand and bowed to Guo Jia in a regular manner, and then left steadily.

Zhen Rong, who was flattened and crying silently, left, and rushed to Guo Jia, burst into tears, and said choking: "Brother-in-law doesn't love Rong'er."

I didn't know that she was pretending to gain sympathy. She reached out to her mind and burst into tears. Guo Jia raised his face and said, "Don't cry. Your move was okay a few years ago, but it won't work now."

In the past, as soon as she cried, Guo Jia completely surrendered, but now it's not working anymore.

Zhen Rong was still crying, and she was really sad. It was probably because she was sad because she lost her uniform.

After a while, Guo Jia ignored her and let her cry enough. When Zhen Rong saw that Guo Jia was indeed indifferent, she immediately put away her tears, pinched Guo Jia's cuff pitifully and swayed gently.

This crying was not sympathetic, so I used a delicate offensive instead.

Helplessly sighed, Guo Jia saw her aggrieved and delicate expression and said, "Rong'er, you are not young anymore. You can't mess around all day long. Your sister often tells me that the Zhen family is so irritating and restless that day. A few days ago, you pointed many black dots on Jin'er's face with a pen, which scared your sister to think that Jin'er had a strange disease and almost fainted."

Zhen Rong was dejected and looked like he was obedient. When she mentioned the incident of tricking Guo Jin, she felt very guilty and was just playing tricks. Unexpectedly, the consequences were so serious. Zhen Jiang's son, who was born ten months pregnant, was regarded as a treasure, and how could she withstand Zhen Rong's erraticism?

"Okay, as long as you know your mistakes, you can correct them. If you have time to learn from your fifth sister, you are well-educated, and you are quiet and steady. Oh, why are you crying again?"

Zhen Rong cried from the bottom of his heart this time, and was extremely sad.

"Brother-in-law, I hate Rong'er, and I won't like Rong'er anymore, wuwu..."

Tears fell like pearls with broken threads. Zhen Rong lowered his head, which made Guo Jia feel distressed even when he looked at it.

Raising his hand to wipe away her tears, Guo Jia comforted, "Don't think about Hu Siluàn, why would my brother-in-law not like you? No matter what you do wrong, my brother-in-law will like you as always."

Zhen Rong burst into tears, raised his head and looked at Guo Jia suspiciously, and asked, "Really?"

Guo Jia nodded seriously.

Zhen Rong was still suspicious and said, "My brother-in-law hasn't hugged Rong'er for a long time."

That's because you've grown up

Now Zhen Rong's chest is also slightly raised. Although the Yuan has not reached the point of turbulence, it has become a prototype.

He opened his hands and hugged her into his arms, and Guo Jia gently stroked her back.

After feeling Guo Jia's tenderness again after a long time, Zhen Rong chou gradually stopped choking, and a moving smile rose from the corner of his mouth.

Zhen Yu, who was outside the court, had already arrived, but when he saw the scene of Guo Jia and Zhen Rong, he could only avoid it first, and secretly called luck in his heart: Fortunately, the second sister and the third sister went to Taoyuan Village to visit, otherwise this scene would be difficult to deal with.

After being warmed in Guo Jia's arms for a long time, Zhen Rongcai returned to the room at Guo Jia's urging. Zhen Yu also entered the yard after a while.

"Empress, oh, I am filial to you, I wonder what I have come today?"

Zhen Yu is not Guo Jia's subordinate, so he respectfully called the envoy is a scene, but Guo Jia hopes that Zhen Yu will still use the title of friends to him.

Guo Jia stretched out his hand and asked Zhen Yao to take his seat. The two sat at the stone table under the tree. Guo Jia said with a look at the mountain: "I came this time to discuss with my brother. I want to establish a business association in Yizhou, so that merchants can join the business association, form alliances, do business together, and make money together. In terms of policy, I can reduce commercial taxes, but the business association should be a helper when there is a need in Yizhou Prefecture."

Zhen Yu's eyes lit up. Guo Jia's proposal was very novel. In the past, these merchants were hostile to each other and suppressed competition. There might be oversupply in the world. At that time, the struggle between merchants was extremely cruel. Now, the world is full of soldiers and horses, and business is not easy to do. Some merchants who traveled around the world have cut off their idea of ​​going to other places to go to business.

When doing business, Guo Jia is not an expert, and few officials from Yizhou Prefecture dare to work in front of Zhen Yu, so Guo Jia came to discuss this matter with Zhen Yu. The Zhen family is now only doing small business in Chengdu, and also helped Guo Jia sell the finished Shu brocade woven by the people of Taoyuan Village to Jingzhou. No matter how far away he is, he dare not explore the way. Under Liu Biao's governance, Jingzhou can be considered peaceful, allowing merchants in Yizhou to dare to travel between the two places. In the north, the merchants regard it as a forbidden zone. Dare to take goods to Guanzhong to sell? It is equivalent to seeking death.

As time goes by, the people of Yizhou gradually become richer, consumer demand is also growing, and the foundation for business prosperity is established. Guo Jia wants to take advantage of the opportunity of business to strengthen himself and begin to mature.

In recent years, Chinese people have been constantly visiting Yizhou to buy grain. Officials from all over Yizhou have posted notices to inform the people that barter can be made, but if they pay for it, it cannot be done.

Why? After Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, a large number of inferior Wuzhu coins were cast, causing the prices of Guanzhong to soar. Guanzhong merchants came to Yizhou to buy food and food with inferior Wuzhu coins. It was obviously because the interests of the people of Yizhou were infringed upon. Therefore, under the decree of Guo Jia, Yizhou refused to recognize the Wuzhu coins issued by Dong Zhuo. Even if it was more troublesome to barter, it would be better than suffering losses.

The benefits of salt and iron are sufficient to support the needs of the military and the country.

Some of the most basic ruling commodities are controlled by the government, and Guo Jia will never open this point.

The establishment of a business association is because the government lacks purchasing power. If the people want to exchange surplus grain for other goods needed for life, they must exchange it for merchants. The business association will coordinate and manage it. When Guo Jia needs necessary materials, he can also quickly purchase it from the business association. Moreover, under the macro-control of Yizhou Prefecture, the business association can effectively limit prices and prohibit merchants from hoarding goods.

This is an initiative to create a win-win situation. Guo Jia provides businessmen with a stable environment and convenient preferential policies. Businessmen do business with their due diligence and do not think about making money from the national crisis.
