Chapter 1896 Half a step with a smile, seems insane but not insane
The sound of war drums in Dunhuang seems to be getting more and more intensive, but the people in Chang''an can hardly hear it, and they don''t feel any special influence.
Under Xun You''s call, Fei Qian''s various tycoons representing commerce rushed to Chang''an one after another and sat in one place.
Cui Hou was undoubtedly the first merchant to follow Fei Qian, and now he also specializes in high-end luxury goods. The business is getting bigger and bigger, and people are getting fatter, even fatter than Pang Tong. When going up, it seems that the groans of vehicles can be heard.
"The things of the Great Han Dynasty can be divided into four categories: fish, salt, lacquer, and silk in the east; Can pass the world! Get one and get rich! "Cui Hou said triumphantly, "If the sea can be unified, the beams can be opened and closed, and the mountains can be opened and closed, so that they can flow around the world, the jade from the western mountains can go straight to the east, and the horses from the northern desert can gallop to the south. Wouldn''t it be wonderful? 』
Pei Jun praised: "Cui Jun is really proficient in this way!" I admire you! 』
Below Pei Jun, there was the little girl Zhen Mi, who sat quietly by the side, looking neither sad nor happy.
Although silent, it cannot be ignored.
Below Zhen Mi, sitting is Zhuo Liang. Zhuo Liang sat in the last seat with him, and everyone smiled when he saw everyone, so he almost turned his belly out. It''s just that when he turned his back to the rest of the people, in the depths of his smiling eyes, there were some faint other emotions...
The leader of Baishiqiang only listened for five or six minutes, but he also laughed along with him. Then his eyeballs turned sideways involuntarily, and then retracted. slide over.
It''s not that the Baishiqiang head is obsessed with **** and greedy for color, but how coveted is the combination of beauty and wealth, so Pei Jun and Zhuo Liang tried their best not to look at Zhen Mi...
White, rich and beautiful girl.
Just like Zhuo Wenjun back then.
Zhuo Liang is a native of Sichuan and Shu, the descendant of the famous Zhuo Gongsun Zhuo Wenjun. Although many literati like to praise Zhuo Wenjun, in fact, in the eyes of Zhuo Gongsun and many businessmen, Zhuo Wenjun is purely a cheater plus a prodigal woman. The reason for opening a hotel is to cheat money. If money comes to the pit, close the door and quit.
Just like this, Sima Xiangru, a white-faced boy, ended up being dumped by Sima Xiangru when Zhuo Wenjun was old. Said, "The piano you played when you hooked up with me is still in front of you, but now you have found a fresh little girl, I am very sad." In the future, eat more and take care of your health. From now on, we will not contact you! 』
Sima Xiangru still wants to show some face, so he said that there is no such thing! Then Xiaosan, who originally wanted to be rectified in Maoling, was delayed like this.
Of course, some people say that this is a rumor, that Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun love each other so much, but in fact Sima Xiangru''s original name was "Gouzi", so...
Zhuo Wenjun died in Chengdu, while Sima Xiangru died in Maoling. The woman who was with Sima Xiangru when he died was the Maoling girl.
From a certain point of view, the later generations of literati and inkmen who sang Zhuo Wenjun did not all admire Zhuo Wenjun''s talent, but said that he was also very literary and full of economics. Why did he not have such money as Zhuo Wenjun when he was poor? What a beautiful little lady fancy herself?
Of course, there are also some literati who despise Sima Xiangru. For example, Sima Qian and Ban Gu have clarified that Sima Xiangru''s Lang Guan is not all out of talent, but "using money as a man", which is the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in order to ease the war against the Huns. The resulting economic pressure, the "donation officer" was deliberately promoted, and everyone knew that Sima Xiangru had no money at first, so where did he get the money to become an official?
I don’t know if it’s because of Zhuo Wenjun’s influence. Anyway, the Zhuo family in Sichuan and Shu is not as powerful as Zhuo Gongsun was at that time, so now Zhuo Liang is like a little pug, laughing with everyone he sees.
The children of the gentry pay attention to seniority, and the same is true among businesses.
It''s just that the gentry relied on poetry, books and scriptures, while the merchants relied on wealth and industry.
Commerce, in simple terms, is the circulation of goods, from the place of origin to the place of consumption. For a businessman, the most wonderful thing is to earn the price difference, and it is best that no one else can make the price difference, only he has his own.
Yes, businessmen will eventually involuntarily move towards monopoly.
Cui Hou has basically benefited from the commercial policies implemented by Fei Qian. He has always followed in Fei Qian''s footsteps and successfully established some branches in the southeast and northwest. There are hundreds of shopkeepers under him. Mainly high-end luxury goods, so the value of the pass-through is simply amazing.
As for the general items, Cui Hou has retired to other commercial firms as agents, such as beef and mutton tendon horns, which are made by Pei Jun.
What Cui Hou said before is not wrong, but they are all businessmen after all, so the words are half and half. Leather, Zhan, Qiu, etc., each of them is a big business, and if it is done well, it will be a huge profit, like mountains and seas.
Chang''an used to be the capital of the Western Han Dynasty, and now it is an important political, cultural and economic center of Feiqian, so after Cui Hou and the others met each other, they were naturally able to roughly guess what Feiqian called them to do, but they just guessed to a small portion of…
Fei Qian wants to develop business, but it is not what they think.
Not long after, I heard the guards shouting loudly from the hall, "General Hussars of the Han Dynasty is here!" 』
Cui Hou was originally sitting with his head up, but when he heard the sound, he flew out almost close to the ground at a speed that didn''t match his body shape, rushed out of the hall first, put a smile on his face, and bowed: Greetings, my lord...」
Pei Jun and others followed closely behind, and also bowed to Fei Qian one after another.
Fei Qian nodded and said, "You don''t need to be too polite, just sit inside." 』Although I knew beforehand that Zhen Mi was coming, and I was slightly prepared in my heart, but when I saw Zhen Mi for the first time, I couldn''t help but linger on Zhen Mi for two or three seconds.
It''s really amazing.
What Cao Zhi said is generally very reserved, "Looking at it from a distance, it is as bright as the sun rising from the morning glow, but when observing it by force, it is burning like a flower coming out of Lubo." The slenderness is complacent, and the length is shortened. If the shoulders are shaved, the waist is as smooth...」
Bai Juyi is more unrestrained, the so-called "cherry Fan Sukou, Yangliu Xiaoman waist"...
Fei Qian felt that what Cao Zhi and Bai Juyi said were right, and a very important point was that Zhen Mi knew how to make up, or was very good at it. With or without, the eyebrows are darker, the lips are redder, and the complexion is like jade. With a well-fitting attire, it is naturally more eye-catching than those dark and rough-skinned women who work in the fields all day.
East Asian sorcery, inherited for thousands of years.
Zhen Mi is indeed beautiful, and she also knows how to expand and display this beauty, so she is naturally more moving, but for Fei Qian, Zhen Mi has not really been able to rely on her appearance alone to be thrilling and terrifying. Thousands of troops pouring down the country and the city are like nuclear weapons.
Otherwise, what are the Three Kingdoms still fighting to death?
Throwing one such "nuclear weapon" out, wouldn''t everything be settled?
Appearance is still added value after all, but strength is the first.
Fei Qian quickly recovered from the initial astonishment, entered the hall, sat down at the head, and motioned for everyone to sit down. Everyone thanked them again, and then sat down.
"Scholars, farmers, businessmen, no one can pass on, no farmer can''t be safe, no work can''t be good, no business can''t do..." Fei Qian watched the crowd sit down, and then said slowly, "Chang''an is the head of the Han Dynasty, and you are the Han merchants." collar! 』
Now that Chang''an is the number one capital of the Han Dynasty, it is not too much. Because Luoyang has been decadent, and Xu County has not yet developed, Yecheng, which was originally stronger than Chang''an, has weakened due to the turmoil.
As for Chengdu Shouchun, it is relatively remote.
In addition to the above cities, there are a few that are not mentioned in the Three Kingdoms game. Linzi, Handan, and Panyu were actually very large and had a large population in the Han Dynasty.
Linzi once had a population of more than 100,000 households, and the rent of a store in the market cost thousands of gold. It was even said that "the people are rich and rich, bigger than Chang''an". It was rich in fish, salt, lacquer, cloth, and silk, especially textiles. It is popular all over the country.
Handan, the old capital of the State of Zhao during the Warring States period, connected to Yanzhuo in the north and Zhengwei in the south, was once the largest commercial center city north of the Yellow River, but after Liu Xiu conquered Handan, he carried out large-scale killings and looting, which led to Handan The scenery is gone.
Panyu, the pre-Qin government of Nanhai County, was also the largest distribution center for commodities in the Pearl River Delta and the indigenous tribes in the south. It was once the largest source of spices in the Han Dynasty, and it also had frequent foreign trade.
The business policies of the Han Dynasty went up and down.
Since Emperor Hui of the Western Han Dynasty, due to the country''s preferential policies for industry and commerce, rich merchants and great Jia actively organized commodity circulation, which brought prosperity to commerce. At that time, commercial cities flourished, multi-level markets developed, the capital and regional markets flourished, there were various types of commodities, commercial capital was strong, and the currency economy was active.
After Emperor Wu ascended the throne, in order to financially support the consolidation and development of authoritarian centralization, although he adopted a policy of cracking down on businessmen, the business entered an intermission period and once fell.
After Zhao and Xuan, with the loosening and relaxation of the "suppressing the end" policy, private industry and commerce quickly recovered and developed, and new vitality emerged.
Immediately after Guangwu, there was a rise of the argument that business hurts farmers. Businessmen were considered low-ranking and proletarians, and were reviled and cast aside. In the Hengling period, because of the large number of buying and selling of officials, the social status of businessmen was once discredited. Pushed to the cusp of the storm, some people even encouraged the extinction of commerce, saying, "Businessmen seek profits, chase things, run north and south, use their own wisdom and skill, there are many cunning, good clothes and good food, there will be twelve profits in a year, Merchants, on the other hand, have no property and no rent tax. The fleeing population is a real harm to the country. 』
Fei Qian continued, "Business is indispensable. There is no business, horses are herded in the north, a thousand hoofs do not go south, water is full of fish and salt, a thousand bells do not go west. Thousands of jujube trees in Anyi, thousands of chestnut trees in Yanqin, thousands of acres of oranges in the Hanjiang River, ten thousand hectares of succulents in Heji; The beauty of it bears the labor of the people. 』
Cui Hou and the others were elated when they heard it, and they praised it repeatedly, throwing flattery words like free money.
It can be said that Fei Qian is one of the few people in power who value business among the current big Han. Now he is separated from Shandong and Shanxi, and is in charge of Shangshutai in Xijing. He has been affirmed and praised by Fei Qian. Ten thousand sentences are more useful?
But soon, Fei Qian''s words changed, "Of course, business should not be abused!" For the sake of profit and prosperity, shoddy the good, the short, theft, theft, the disregard of the law, the deception of rents and taxes, the concealment of the population, the oppression of businessmen... All of the above are the disadvantages of business. I don''t know if you think so ? 』
Cui Hou waved his fat hands, and even the flesh on his face trembled: "My lord, don''t worry, under Hou Zhi''s rule, everyone will abide by the law, and there will be no such thing..."
Fei Qian asked with a smile: "It''s really not at all?" 』
Cui Hou prostrated himself on the ground with a thud, moaning as he dragged the wooden floor, "My lord, forgive me!" My lord, forgive me! What happened to Ma Zhengsi...was done by a foolish person without permission, the guilty minister, the guilty minister really didn''t know...』
『If you see a cockroach trailing its tail across the hall...』 Fei Qian looked at Cui Hou and said, 『Now ask about this matter, how many cockroaches are there? 』
"what? 』Cui Hou was stunned for a moment, unable to react for a while.
Zhen Mi''s crisp voice sounded from the side: "What the general said, corruption is common. The citrus has small gray spots, and the inside is full of decay. 』
Fei Qian couldn''t help turning his head to look, but saw that Zhen Mi''s back was straight, her eyes were clear and agile, and after looking at Fei Qian for a while, she slowly lowered her head. The delicate skin on the neck seems to glow by itself under the sunlight outside the hall, which is breathtaking.
Hehe, this Zhen Mi can pick her time, presumably the Jizhou shopping mall has often competed with Cui Hou, right?
Thinking about it, it is also understandable.
Others have some business dealings with Cui Hou, but Zhen Mi is an outsider and has no interest relationship with Cui Hou, so Zhen Mi does not hide this, and even turns it into an advantage, just like Zhen Mi and her Her makeup is average, and she expanded her original eighty-nine points of beauty to twelve points, so as to show Fei Qian that if the person who wants to check and balance Cui Hou is herself.
Yes, checks and balances...
Fei Qian looked at the people in the hall, and it was obvious that except for the half-understood head of Baishiqiang, the rest were all human beings, including Cui Hou who was pretending to be stupid, and they were all quietly waiting for Fei Qiang. Potential to continue to say below.
After all, Fei Qian really wants to deal with Cui Hou directly, so there is no need to ask these people to come and watch, or even to say these words. After all, the point of killing chickens to warn monkeys is to kill chickens, so whoever comes up and kills monkeys to warn chickens and ducks?
Fei Qian withdrew his gaze and looked at Cui Hou again, "You should check this matter yourself first!" Don''t think that Ma Zheng is the only one! If you wait for someone to check and then make mistakes... No wonder someone doesn''t want to miss the old friendship! Return to your seat! 』
Cui Hou rolled back to his seat and raised his sleeves to wipe off his sweat.
Ma Zhengsi''s war horse concealment, stealing and selling is obviously not something that Feihe can do alone. Cui Hou may or may not know about such a distribution business route, but whether he knows it or not, it is a crime. Big crimes are small.
『The state owns the laws of the state, and the family has the rules of the family... 』 Fei Qian looked around and said slowly, 『Business also needs business laws! The sky has five elements, and the earth has five materials. Each performs its own duties, and each has its own place, so as to conform to the way of heaven and earth. I call you all to gather here today, because I want to establish a Dahan Commercial Bank! The meaning of business is that business people follow the five elements of the sky, and the five materials of the earth. Implement the rules for entering the market, set the rules for buying and selling, and regulate the contracts of exchanges, so as to communicate the goods of the world! 』
Which business is the most profitable?
The experience of future generations tells Fei Qian that it is natural to be a platform! Collecting money from merchants and customers at the same time, you can also pass on the conflicts of buying and selling to merchants or refund them to customers. Anyway, the platform is the most impartial, self-seeking dedication without asking for anything in return...
Everyone here is naturally shrewd. When they heard what Fei Qian said, their eyes lit up immediately, and they searched for each other and exchanged glances. The most depressing one was Li Nagu, the leader of Baishiqiang. His intuition told him that Fei Qian seemed to have said a very remarkable thing, but he didn’t understand half of it. It felt like he had missed a hundred million. I couldn''t help but turned around and asked Zhuo Liang, who seemed the most bully, "This... what does the general mean?" 』
Zhuo Liang looked like a bully, that''s all. Seeing Baishi Qiang''s headman asking questions, he still had a smile on his face, but slightly cupped his hands and said in a low voice: "General, I don''t want to go into details, I''ll report to you later..." Then he I didn''t pay attention to the leader of Baishiqiang anymore, just stared at Fei Qian, for fear of missing something.
Commercial organizations such as the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce and Guilds generally took shape in the Tang Dynasty, and were basically mature in the Song Dynasty. However, at the moment of the big man, Fei Qian''s suggestion of being half a step ahead undoubtedly made everyone present suddenly stunned. Cheerful...
Of course, what these people pay attention to is somewhat different from that of Fei Qian.
Commercial guilds naturally have industry standards, and industry standards mean a certain amount of authority, and the merchant class is undoubtedly the level most eager for authority. When the dog saw the meaty bone, its eyes were glued to the meaty bone.
『My lord is wise! Cui Hou immediately stated, "The state owns the state law, the family has the family rules, and the business should have the business law!" Lord, please rest assured, Hou Ding will thoroughly investigate the criminals, and strictly control and control them, so as to prevent future effects! 』
Pei Jun didn''t speak all the time, but now he hit the key point, and said in a loud voice, "My lord Mingjian, since Jun took the post of business in Northeast Hebei Province, he deeply feels the responsibility is heavy, he works hard every day, and dare not relax in the slightest. There are more than 370 people in total, and there is absolutely no corruption... Ahem, hearing the words of the lord, I suddenly feel like seeing the sun and the moon through the clouds! If the lord doesn''t give up, it turns out that the lord''s plan for business law is so heart-wrenching! 』
Cui Hou suddenly turned his head and glared at Pei Jun.
Zhen Mi left Xi Yingying and bowed down, her voice was clear and beautiful, "Although I dare not boast about my family background, my virtues are noble, but my ancestors were also passed down by Master Confucius, and they are somewhat familiar with Confucian classics, and they know a little about pen and ink. I am willing to share the general''s worries..." The last sentence , the sound was thin and long, like a cat stretched out a little paw from the white glove, and scratched something lightly twice.
Zhuo Liang only knew that the weight was not enough, so he didn''t dare to go forward, but the Baishi Qiang leader at the side saw it, and didn''t care what it was, but thought it must be good, so he also raised his voice and said: "General! General! Don''t forget Bai Shiqiang...Bai Shiqiang has always been a loyal general...』
