Thank you brother 442 for the reward, it's not a blast but a dedication, and I also hope to pay attention to my brother's new book The Story of the Holy City In this world, the most despicable profession is the merchants, their status is not even as good as that of prostitutes, they are just batches of wool that the imperial court needs to shear at any time, whether it is a Hui merchant, a Zhejiang merchant or a Jin merchant.
Even the God of Wealth, who was rich enough to rival the country, was not killed in an instant because of his fighting spirit with Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang Businessmen, in this era, are also at the bottom of society.
And now because of Lu Hanqiang's arrival, they have raised their eyebrows and their status has risen, and at this time, Lu Hanqiang has fallen, and the method left by Lu Hanqiang this time has given everyone a good opportunity to make a fortune, and our opportunity to shear sheep has come.
So everyone smiled.
But the kind-hearted Shi Kefa was embarrassed: "It is not easy for businessmen to transport grain and grass all the way in, so that we can save at least 23 costs, and also save huge expenses for the country, not to mention the loss of labor and money, and the miserable people, so they should earn a part of the difference, so let's let them donate a part of it to solve the urgent need, and we still pay the rest according to the price, of course, there is no money, we owe it first." ” Everyone laughed ambiguously together.
In the 300 years of the dynasty, the government owes the merchant a bad debt, where is there really to pay back even if you pay it back, the rebate in the middle is indispensable, which is equivalent to giving everyone another chance to make a fortune.
At this time, the Chinese army outside the account came to report, and all the businessmen were invited.
So the full account colleagues began to look forward to the arrival of the fat sheep.
A group of businessmen were invited by Cheng Guoyuan into the governor's tent.
Everyone is familiar with this big tent, and after the grain delivery in the barracks was completed, Lu Hanqiang had to invite everyone to come over to catch up with old acquaintances and chat with those who met for the first time.
In the chatting and chatting, they deepened their feelings for each other, Lu Hanqiang asked everyone about the business situation in various places, and these people also inquired about the process of the war from Lu Hanjiang, treated each other sincerely, and each took what he needed.
So everyone thought that it had always been like this, and they came in one after another, and bowed their hands to the superintendent according to their habits and rules, and then their eyes began to look at the tables and chairs on both sides, ready to discuss seniority, and everyone sat down to drink tea according to the rules, and then talked about some things.
As a result, this time it was greatly unexpected by everyone, when everyone just stood and bowed their hands, the Chinese army standing behind the Inspector actually roared with a black face: "Bold pariahs, why don't you kneel and kowtow when you see the Inspector, do you still want to be punished by the law of the king?"
Just this sentence made all the businessmen feel cold in their hearts, and the difference between the original supervisor and the current supervisor immediately appeared.
So these businessmen were a little at a loss, some people knelt down and kowtowed in fear, but some people were cultivated by the female Han Qiang to be proud and self-esteem, but they stood peacefully and did not want to kneel, and for a while the big tent was uneven, and there was a little chaos.
Shi Kefa is most particular about official prestige and prestige, seeing such a situation, he couldn't help frowning and unhappy, but thinking that he was about to ask for someone, he waved his hand indifferently: "Fathers, and sit on both sides." ” So the merchants looked for their place to go, sat down, looked at the new overseer, and waited for him to have something to say.
Of course, there is no tea, because in the eyes of those literati, it is a great gift to let this group of lowly businessmen sit.
Feeling that the supervision of the heart was different from the original, the merchants' stomachs began to beat drums, so no one was the first to speak, so they waited for the boss to speak, so as to grasp some necessary ideas in the other party's words, and then they could respond to it.
As a result, this meeting was somewhat embarrassing.
Shi Kefa sat high-end, coughed, majestically glanced at these lowly businessmen below, took a sip of tea gently, and then said slowly: "According to what the former inspector said, you are all patriotic businessmen, serving the country a lot, although there is some income, but the country is still grateful to you, here, I also hope that you live together and continue to cooperate."
This was a tone, and when it was settled, it showed that he didn't want to change the pattern, and the merchants who had offset it in this way looked at each other with a little relief in their eyes.
At this time, Shi Kefa suddenly changed his words: "However, when the governor first came to take office, there are a lot of things to do, and he has not yet sorted them out, so some things have been delayed, and I hope you will forgive me." ” At this time, these businessmen are tasteless in their hearts, businessmen are exquisite, the minimum skills of observers, this Inspector is high, although there is also approachability in his tone, but from his eyes and expressions, he is still full of contempt for the merchants, such an expression falls in the eyes of these merchants, how not to make everyone feel uneasy However, since he said that he still follows Lu Hanqiang's path, then everyone still has the opportunity to continue to make money, so they have to give up their compliments and say some clichés, and the tone is inevitably a little perfunctory.
In this way, it also made Shi Kefa feel unhappy: "This is for your face, you are really ready to kick your nose in the face." ” In fact, Shi Kefa has such a mentality, and he can't blame his character, he can only blame this high-ranking scholar's feelings, blame the habit of valuing agriculture over business formed over thousands of years, and people like Lu Hanqiang who know the importance of business in this country are still rare.
The drumming noise outside was still coming fiercely, and there was no need for Shi Kefa to delay any longer and engage in those high-sounding nonsense, so he said bluntly: "The method is still the same, the future military supplies will still be purchased from you, and I will still follow Lu Hanqiang's path in terms of price, you can rest assured." ” Such a statement really reassured you, and these businessmen also said that they would sincerely cooperate with the new Shangguan and do their best for the revival of the Great Ming Empire, and then a businessman who owed his mouth said: "The new Inspector is here, and naturally there are many inconveniences, but whatever we can do, we will spare no effort to support." ” As a result, as soon as these words came out, he immediately felt countless wind swords and snow swords coming from his face, and immediately understood that he had said the wrong thing, and he couldn't wait to slap his face, give himself a fat face like a pig's head, and smack it hard, isn't this a lack of words As a result, this sentence was exactly what Shi Kefa and the others wanted, so Shi Kefa immediately hit the snake with a stick, and said with gratitude and embarrassment on his face: This supervisor is newly appointed, and the accounts have not yet been handed over, and it is inevitable that there will be a shortage of positions on hand, and everyone has also heard the shouts of the soldiers outside the camp, and they have not eaten for two meals, so please donate one or two here.
Speaking of donations, in Shi Kefa's opinion, this is a matter of course, and there is no sense of shame and embarrassment at all.
Then a staff member stepped forward and said calmly: "The superintendent understands everyone's hard work, and it is not too much, 1,000 stone of grain per household."
Then he said proudly: "If you have no objection, go and get it." ” This immediately made these businessmen feel unfair, under the cultivation of Lu Hanqiang over the years, the businessmen have their own dignity and principles, we trade normally, you and I take what we need, everyone is equal, why should I lose to you when you are in difficulty and look at the number of people outside, it is definitely not a load or two of food can be sent, this is not the same as you want to save money and make meritorious contributions, and let us bleed and dedicate At this time, the staff member actually said confidently again: "You and other profiteers, in the past, bought low and sold high, just sold the grain to our Fuliao army, it is two layers higher than the market, so brazen, where is there a bit of loyalty and patriotism Today, if you donate some today, our Inspector will not be to blame, if you are not interested, we have to look through the accounts, to see if there is collusion between officials and businessmen, up and down, once it is verified, hum." ” In their opinion, this kind of rhetoric is a common method used in officialdom, which is called coercion and inducement, and at this time, if it is placed here, it is forced to donate.
And as soon as this statement came out, there was a dull embarrassment in the big tent. t1706231537:
