"Let Ma Jiajun serve as a guard for the caravan.
You dare to think of such an idea."
Ma Chao couldn't help but rubbed his temples again and said with a wry smile: "This is not consistent with the ancestral system.
If I come up with this proposal tomorrow, , I’m afraid it will cause a lot of scolding in the court.”
When Guan Shanxue heard what Ma Chao said, she felt scared.
However, Yu Pan didn't seem to take it seriously and said: "My lord, this proposal is just a preliminary project between me and Lao Guan.
Although it will have to go through some verbal battles, it will bring benefits."
But it is immeasurable."
When Yu Pan talked about Fu Shou and Liu Yue, he naturally glanced at them subconsciously.
As the coordinator, Liu Yue had no shirk in his duty and said: "Husband, as Yu Pan said, this is just a preliminary case.
In fact, these two people also want to directly use the Ma family's current prestige to completely open up the market in the Western Regions. " Although Ma Chao is not a business master, he lived in his previous life and really knew the wealth of the rich, so he understood the horrors of business better than the ancients.
At this time, Liu Yue spoke of using the Ma family as a guide to connect the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions into a huge chain of interests.
He suddenly saw the huge business opportunities contained in it, and couldn't help but become interested, and encouraged Liu Yue: " Keep talking."
At this time, Liu Yue, to be honest, was struggling in her heart: on the one hand, she was the top ruler among scholars, farmers, and merchants, and naturally she did not want merchants to break this ranking.
But on the other hand, as the Ma family's daughter-in-law, she couldn't help but be attracted by this huge benefit.
The ranking of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce first came from Guanzi in the Spring and Autumn Period, which said: The four people, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, are the stones of the country.
This ranking was arranged by the ancients in order of their contribution to society.
Why do scholars rank first?
Everything is inferior, only reading is high.
Establishing virtue in the heart will make contributions to the world; proclaiming virtue and merit in words will benefit future generations.
Farmers know etiquette because of their lack of strength, and food is their top priority for the people.
In ancient agricultural societies, this ranking was understandable.
Work is ranked third because if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.
The ancients have long recognized that labor efficiency can be improved with the help of tools.
The reason why business is ranked last is because the ancients believed that business only involves the exchange of what is needed and what is not, and it must also rely on others to succeed.
Moreover, only a few people can participate in business.
If everyone goes into business and relies on others, there will be no one in the world to rely on.
Therefore, the status of businessmen is at the bottom, which means that it is neither prohibited nor promoted.
But Ma Chao knew clearly that in the economic and social world, although the ranking of scholars, farmers, industry and merchants had not been completely overturned, they would never be as contemptuous and harsh towards merchants as in ancient times.
In fact, many unsatisfied students were particularly envious and jealous of the wealthy businessmen.
This change had to make Ma Chao sigh.
But now, where do you stand and say what you say.
Although Ma Chao originally disapproved of the feudal stereotypes of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, it would inevitably make Ma Chao feel a little embarrassed to shake the thinking of the ancients of the Han Dynasty at this time.
After all, during this period of time, there were too many scenes of spitting, stomping and shouting in Deyang Palace.
Ma Chao felt physically and mentally exhausted from dealing with those educated hooligans.
But at this time, Fu Shou, who usually rarely spoke, took a step forward and said: "Husband, there is a saying in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Lu family: Shang Hu did not follow the laws of the previous kings because they were unobtainable.
We are dedicated to the Ma family.
Serve the people wholeheartedly and do what you do to benefit the country In matters of the people, the ancestral system is not something that cannot be changed.
Emperor Xiaowu dismissed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism.
He changed the ancestral system of the Han Dynasty that did not respect the virtuous and made the people indisputable.
If everyone in the world dares not to do so, the ancestral system will be prepared.
Touching the ancestral system, I don’t know what the world will be like.”
Having said this, Fu Shou looked a little nervous.
Because although Fu Shou is also a member of the royal family, she also comes from a wealthy merchant family.
Fortunately, after seeing Ma Chao's soft and encouraging eyes, she had the courage to continue: "What's more, this proposal is just a preliminary proposal.

We don't have to go to the point that Sister Yue proposed.
And, also It simply can’t be done, it requires at least hundreds of years of subtle training.”
"That's right."
After hearing Fu Shou's words, Ma Chao couldn't help but sigh that Fu Shou was really a wise empress of the Han Dynasty.
He was usually slow to talk, but at critical moments, he was very assertive and had a strong view of the overall situation.
From this, Ma Chao said: "There are all businessmen in the world who are not interested in profit.
For the sake of profit, they can ignore their lives and the overall situation.
This is the nature of businessmen and it is difficult to stop it.
After the Han-Qiang War, Xinping and Beidi counties were advantageous , merchants from various states set up large markets in one year, with hundreds of thousands of goods coming in and out every day.
Qiang people were born in the grasslands, and they had a lot of money in their hands.
Where did the scimitars come from, and where did their sharp bows and arrows come from?
How could they have such superb forging skills?
It was not the profit that was smuggled in by the merchants from the Western Regions.
The merchants could not care less about Laoguan's proposal. , let’s put aside its influence, focus solely on the interests of the Ma family and the people, and just wait and see what happens.”
"So, my lord has agreed to this proposal."
Guan Shanxue heard Ma Chao relent and couldn't help but step forward to confirm again.
"Well, I agree."
Ma Chao waved his hand, looked at these people, and said: "But tomorrow you have to follow me into Deyang Palace and make noises with those civil and military officials.
I don't believe it, those guys, for Ma Family, for the common people of the Han Dynasty, I can’t even give up a little face.”
Having said this, Ma Chao couldn't help laughing and said: "But don't worry, although they are sharp-tongued, there are also many traitors among them.
At least, I can think of Meng Da, the top leader of the Ministry of Revenue, absolutely They are on our side.”
"What your husband said is true.
Now the profits brought by the Ma family's business have already made Meng Shilang smile."
Hearing that Ma Chao had already made up his mind, Liu Yue immediately relaxed: she is a smart woman, knowing that she The most fundamental principle is to firmly support your husband "However, this bill really needs to be changed."
Seeing that everyone was confident, Ma Chao couldn't help but remind him slightly: "This bill smells like copper, and every word of it is not far from the word "profit".
If this comes In the court, it would be strange not to be criticized by those scholar-bureaucrats."
"Why don't we start with this wool purchase?"
Li Zihao is a quick-thinking boss who can connect everything.
He can make a fortune after seeing business opportunities: "Lord, we don't need to do everything for this wool purchase.
Funded by the Ma family, this business opportunity is huge, and only the prestige of the Ma family means that there are wealthy merchants in various states purchasing a large number of sweaters. , they are allowed to raise funds to sign up, receive invitations to set up factories, and recruit craftsmen.
The Ma family will provide looms and technology for production in Chang'an City, or the finished products can be shipped from various places.
Our Ma family will send troops to the Western Regions, and merchants can follow.
The team will go there.
They will pay the upfront expenses, and they will exchange money and silk there, and both parties will benefit together.
This is the so-called borrowing the chicken to lay the egg. " "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful" Ma Chao clapped his hands and laughed.
Although Li Zihao still spoke out of business interests, Ma Chao understood clearly.
Li Zihao cleverly brought the Ma family's pursuit of profit to the level of friendship between Han and Hungary and the Western Regions.
He couldn't help but cheerfully concluded: "Yes, the Ma family has lured them for profit, and they are not afraid that merchants from all over the world will not gather in Chang'an.
At the same time, it has also strengthened the relationship between the Ma family and the merchants in the Han states, the Huns, and the Western Regions.
What's even more rare is that you, Li Zihao, are still here."
When it comes to attracting investment, it’s really a clever plan that kills three birds with one stone.”
"Husband, apart from sweaters, there are other benefits to organizing a trade group.
Since the Ma's Army has been dispatched, it is better to leave more people than to leave less people, so any caravan that is willing to go with the group, no matter what they are selling, For a fee of 10,000 yuan, you can join a group of ten people and carry a hundred loads of goods.
This is just the cost of joining the business group, which is quite considerable."
Fu Shou has been exposed to business since he was a child, and his business vision is no better than that of those who work in the shopping malls.

Poor fried dough sticks.
But Ma Chao seemed to see a golden avenue waving to him, and he was very excited.
Looking up, Guan Shanxue had already taken the bill in his hand and rushed out.
"Laoguan, what are you doing?"
Ma Chao shouted when he saw this.
"My lord, forgive me.
I will amend the bill right now."
Guan Shanxue replied without even turning his head.
"Who are you looking for to make changes?"
"If money can make you go around, I'll keep it in mind.
I don't believe that there are so many foxes in the Ma family who don't want to eat other people's fireworks."
When everyone heard Guan Shanxue's words, they couldn't help but shake their heads and smile bitterly: This Guan Shanxue, I didn't expect that he is still impatient. s: This one will be automatically updated because I don’t have internet access at home.
