"It is good to teach a man to fish, not to teach a man to fish well" Hearing his son-in-law say this, Baekyu was very, very satisfied.
After being excited, I couldn't help but pick up my wine glass and drink it all.
Putting down his glass, he smiled bitterly again.
What kind of wine to drink, there was only a little bit of wine in the wine glass just now.
I drank it all in one go If you drink it all, it's called pleasure Zhuangzi reached over and grabbed the wine jug, only to find that there didn't seem to be much wine in the jug.
Pouring all the wine into the old man's glass, he looked at the old man and waited for him to speak.
Now he is even more interested in his father-in-law.
Taoist people are like this, the more familiar and understanding they are with a person, the more willing they are to get close to him.
Of course, this is for people who are considered trustworthy.
If there are people who have problems with their thinking and morality, they will be in a hurry.
I thought to myself: how can I get rid of this guy's entanglement This kind of ghost dares to deal with him People who can't give people peace of mind, if they are met by Taoists, they will only avoid them Otherwise, how can there be a classic quotation of "the voice of chickens and dogs hear each other, and the old and die do not get along".
I can't afford to provoke Lao Tzu and can't hide Seeing the precious son-in-law's eyes looking at him, Bai Gui shook his head and smiled: "I don't leave my property to my children and grandchildren, I give it back to strangers, I also give it to those hereditary nobles and kings, let them be extravagant and rotten."
"The point is," Zhuangzi asked puzzledly, "what do you want to do with so much property, you say you, you have all risked your life to accumulate it, you say you, alas" "What's the matter?"
asked the old man.
"If it were me, I wouldn't have done that, why would I risk my life to do these meaningless things, what should I do with so much savings, how much can I consume in my life, how much can I eat in a day, will I die and can't take it away, right?"
"I don't earn this money, and others will come to earn this money, so I earn it" What Bai Gyu said was the sale of grain, grass, military supplies, and mining.
If he doesn't earn this kind of money, someone will earn it.
He is not the only one who does this business.
He Bai Gui is only the largest dealer, and the first person who can do this kind of business among the various vassal states of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Other traffickers are just doing business in a certain area and within a certain area.
So there is no comparison between the two.
Moreover, he has opened up this road, and only he can do this business comprehensively.
If you want food, I can give you food.
You want iron, I can give you iron.
You want a tank, I can give it to you.
You want horses, I can give you them.
During the Warring States period, the horse business was the most difficult.
Horses belong to war materials, and the control of horses by various vassal states is very strict.
There are also horses that are bred in the north.
In addition, the horses are inconvenient to transport and too conspicuous.
They often resorted to covert methods of transporting horses to other vassal states.
They disguised their horses as transport horses and carried goods through the customs.
Then the horse did not look back.
When the princes and kings of passing countries track it down, there will be corrupt officials below, and the matter will be over.
"It's not a matter of earning or not earning," Zhuangzi said with some reproach: "The point is that you indirectly support the war" "This, this, this" When Bai Gui heard this, he suddenly couldn't get off the stage.
"I, I, I, how did I become a supporter of the war?"
"If you don't provide military supplies to others, where can people fight a war?"
"This, this, this, I am a businessman" "In those countries where there is war, neither gold nor silver is worth much, but the most valuable thing is grain and grass, and then other military supplies.
When war comes, it is common to spend all the gold and silver in the stock to buy grain, grass and other military supplies.
They believed that as long as they were victorious, they could get it back from the defeated country.
If it is defeated, it will be regarded as the destruction of the country, and if the country is destroyed, there will be nothing.
And you businessmen, you put profit first.
Gold and silver are wealth to you.
Gold and silver are common goods in the world, and gold and silver are worthless in one country, but they are worth more in another.
Therefore you will take advantage of the war and make a great profit.

You say you are a businessman, and a businessman aims to make a profit.
But don't you take into account this problem, you are indirectly supporting the war and making war money?"
After Zhuangzi finished speaking, he spread his hands towards the old man.
It's like asking, "Isn't it?"
"No, no, no" Bai Gui was anxious, and waved his hand again and again: "Son-in-law, son-in-law, this is not my intention, this is not my intention" "Not Your Intention" "No, no" Bai Gui looked at Zhuangzi with pleading eyes anxiously, hoping that Zhuangzi would understand him and listen to his explanation.
"Without me as a merchant, annexation wars between vassal states would have happened, and I tell you, it was not because of me as a merchant that wars would have occurred.
No, son-in-law, as a businessman, what I see is the benefit, I have the goods on hand, and I want to sell them.
Naturally, whoever gives the highest price, I will sell it to whomever I want, isn't that the truth?
I really didn't take into account the consequences of war in this way But I, as a businessman, can't stop the war Even if I don't sell it directly to the princes and kings, someone will buy it from me and resell it to the princes and kings of the warring countries Is the son-in-law this truth, but it is only direct and indirect, I am a businessman, I naturally consider it from the perspective of interests, and sell it directly to the other party.
And I sell at a lower price than I used to resell, and you say that I am indirectly supporting the war me" "In any case, you can't do business in this area" "You can't say that there are no businesses in the world."
"If we can stop the war and prevent it from happening, what if there is no business in the world?"
"But there are no merchants, the market is out of circulation, how can we live, where does the salt come from, where do we come from, where do we come from, how can we do without merchants?"
Zhuangzi did not criticize the old man anymore, and continued to debate the affairs of the merchants.
Just asked: "Lord Yue, of course, how did you think of abandoning politics and business?"
"Alas," Bai Gui sighed and said: "Son-in-law, you have asked the point, how did I abandon politics and business in the first place, I tell you, I am the same as you, I want to save the world economically, use economic means to save the world, save the world, alas, but I failed son-in-law":
