Dahan first prince

Chapter 168 Why Do You Need to Give Money? !
At sunset, south of Chang'an, outside the grain market.

Bathed in the early spring sunset, looking not far away, Huang Zhong couldn't help but quietly frowned at the merchants who were transporting copper coins to his home.

"Everyone is the generation of five beetles!!"

With a low growl full of resentment, Huang Zhong only gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but he didn't realize that behind him, Yang Chengyan's figure slowly walked out of the grain market, and stopped not far behind him.

"Five beetles..."

A soft murmur finally provoked Huang Zhong to turn his head slightly, and when he saw Qingyang Chengyan's face, he retreated to the side with embarrassment on his face, and cupped his hands slightly.

"Mr. Yang."

But seeing Yang Chengyan only smiled politely, then walked forward with a chuckle, and looked meaningfully at Huang Zhong, his face still full of youthfulness.

"If I remember correctly..."

"Huang Shiling's father and ancestor are from the old Han family?"

Hearing Yang Cheng asked this question, Huang Zhong couldn't help but tighten his heart, and there was also a little uneasiness in his expression.

"Go back, Duke Huiyang."

"The ancestral home of the lower officials is indeed in Han..."

"In the third year of the Han Dynasty, Your Majesty led the army east out of Hangu. His deceased father brought his officials to Xingyang to avoid the flames of war. His Majesty thought he was a pawn with a halberd and a shield..."

Seeing Huang Zhong say this with a sad face, Yang Chengyan also sighed with emotion, and patted Huang Zhong's shoulder lightly.

"In this way, the Huang family is full of families, and they are also loyal to the Han Dynasty..."

As he said that, Yang Chengyan patted Huang Zhong on the shoulder again, and immediately took a few steps forward, squatting down on a small raised soil slope.

When Huang Zhong also came to his side, he sat down a little cautiously, Yang Chengyan couldn't help smiling, and pointed to the grain merchants who were about to lose their outlines in the distance.

"Does Huang Shiling feel resentful when he sees such profiteers and vicious businessmen, who have won a lot of evil, but still get money from the Shaofu?"

Hearing Yang Chengyan's casual tone of question, Huang Zhong just bowed his head subconsciously.

"I dare not..."

"Eh~"

Before Huang Zhong's voice fell, he saw Yang Chengyan leaning his upper body back, with an accompanying smile on his face, looking at Huang Zhong with encouragement.

"It's just small talk."

"There is no need to be taboo about Huang Shiling. If you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to speak out."

Seeing Yang Chengyan's attitude of "just chatting, say whatever you want to say", Huang Zhong also bowed his head with a stiff smile.

After only a moment, the resentment that was hung on Huang Zhong's face before faintly returned to that green face.

"Duke Yang also said: These grain merchants and Mijia used to store up grain and live in strange places, and they are also thieves who prey on people's blood!"

"Even if he is a thief, why did Duke Yang spend his internal money to help this bureaucrat's arrogance?"

"However, there are very few profiteers. If the court wants to specialize in food and rice, it can send court officials and internal historians to copy all the money of this bureaucrat's family to confiscate it and return it to the country?"

Hearing Huang Zhong's words, the smile on Yang Chengyan's face froze slightly.

After a while, Yang Chengyan smiled and turned his head to the side, looking meaningfully at Huang Zhong.

Yang Chengyan understood: What Huang Zhong wanted to say was not 'Why don't you do this' and 'Why didn't the court do this', but, Prince Liu Ying, why didn't you do this?
Why not kill all these businessmen who have harmed the people and caused chaos in the world, and restore the world to a bright future?
It's enough to not kill them, so why give them money?
Is it possible that the land of the king in the whole world, the mountains, rivers and swamps are all the money of the king-it is just grain and granary, why should we give them money?

If it were someone else, Yang Chengyan would probably laugh it off at such a question that smacks of an angry youth.

But at this moment, looking at Huang Zhong beside him, Yang Chengyan was quietly calculating in his heart.

"Five beetles, from "Han Feizi", written by the late Han Gongzi Han Fei..."

"This son is from Korea and knows the theory of 'five beetles'..."

"Hey······"

"It's actually a descendant of Shen Buhai's disciple..."

Thinking secretly, Yang Chengyan's gaze towards Huang Zhong became more and more meaningful.

"In today's house, the face is wider and more gentle than His Majesty's, but the technique of controlling His Majesty also has the meaning of Legalism's "law, technique, and power"..."

"After a hundred years for Your Majesty, it is unknown whether the schools of Law and Confucianism, or Mohism, Zongheng and others, will be able to become a hero who can set up a temple?"

Thinking of this, Yang Chengyan finally smiled, and looked towards the sky, the gorgeous sunset glow.

"Agriculture is the foundation and business is the end. This is a national policy that has not been easy for a hundred years in the Han Dynasty, and it is also the foundation for the country to stand together."

"Even so, business is only a 'last karma', not an evil karma prohibited by the law and not allowed by human relations..."

After saying this leisurely, Yang Chengyan smiled lightly and turned his head to the side, looking at Huang Zhong with a hint of something in his eyes.

"The disadvantages of business are not the root of business, but Jia."

"It's Jia's pursuit of profit and forgetting his origin, seeking gold, silver, pearls and jade without regard to shame, and even because of his own selfishness, he disrupts the livelihood of all people in the world."

"What is evil in the world is what Jia does because of profit. However, if there is no business, salt, grain, cloth, and utensils cannot be circulated from north to south. If commerce is not prosperous, the people will not be rich and the country will be strong... ··”

"The old country cannot be without business, and it cannot be respected if it is in Jia."

"Perhaps the king and virtuous are better than your majesty, and they should issue edicts and laws to despise the family, and pay heavy rents and taxes to embarrass them."

Listening to Yangcheng Yanyu's detailed account of the relationship between merchants and Jia and the relationship between Sheji and Tianxia, ​​Huang Zhong nodded thoughtfully.

Only a moment later, Huang Zhong suddenly frowned again.

"Mr. Yang."

"That is to say, the country cannot be without business, and Jia Duo has no faith. Why doesn't the court find loyal and benevolent people to trade in the world, and use the income from their business to strengthen the country and enrich the people?"

After saying these words with a little guilty conscience, Huang Zhong became a little excited, and quickly patted his chest.

"If the lower official is a merchant, the lower official must be a benevolent and righteous merchant who is famous all over the world; the income from doing business should be given to the Shaofu's internal funds to strengthen our Han Zuo!"

Listening to Huang Zhong's vowed words, Yang Chengyan smiled helplessly and shook his head.

Seeing that Yang Chengyan didn't believe it, Huang Zhong was about to get up to say more, but seeing Yang Chengyan caressing his forehead, Xiao Ran let out a long sigh.

"Huang Shiling's words are sincere because he doesn't know the dangers of people's hearts and the ease of people's hearts, so he can get the theory~"

With a sigh in a bleak tone, Yang Chengyan turned his head and looked at Huang Zhong with a chuckle.

"You can know from the Yellow Market Order: Why do all the merchants in the world get their wealth?"

"And why can this generation overcome thousands of obstacles, regardless of the difficulties of the Shu Road, and produce the brocade of Shu in Guanzhong and Guandong; disregard the disasters in Guandong, and produce rice and grain in Guanzhong, and even Yan, Zhao, and Qi , Chu, or Huainan, Changsha and other places?"

"What's more, in the lands of Yan and Dai, there are even countless thieves who have forgotten their ancestors, and do not hesitate to produce things from traitors, and give forbidden things to the northern barbarians, and thieves who seek gold and sacrifice huge profits!"

"Huang Shiling thinks, where did this generation come to be so courageous, disregarding the laws of the country, wealth and life, and risking himself?"

Seeing that Huang Zhong was stunned on the spot, Yang Chengyan only slowly stretched out his fingers, and lightly pinched Huang Zhong's chest with a smile.

"want!"

"Pursue the huge profits of Mujia, do not do production, just sit in the house and make money every day, so as to get rich with greed!"

Staring at the depths of Huang Zhong's gaze, he said these words in a serious manner, and saw Yang Chengyan turned his head again, looked up into the distance and sighed.

"All merchants, at the beginning of their careers, are not more than Tian Guang, and they have more than enough money and food."

"The income of his one-year-old farmer is more than that of his parents and wives; the rest is the beginning of Jia Ben."

"In the beginning, I was only greedy for Jiali. I traveled twenty miles west to buy salt, and twenty miles east to buy it."

"In this way, with only a few days' work and a round trip of tens of miles, you can get double profits from one book."

As he said that, Yang Chengyan looked at Huang Zhong full of feelings, and couldn't help but smile again.

"It's easy to get this, and you can double the huge profits in a few days. Who would like to return to farming and work on farming?"

"—It must be to sell all the land and houses as the basis, and travel the world to chase Jiali!"

"Go to Shu to get brocade, and the goods are in Guanzhong; get grain in Guan, and then go to Guandong."

"When returning from the Guandong, we can get Qi Qi and Chu utensils cheaply and sell them in Guanzhong and Bashu."

"Three or five years like this, at the beginning, the money was tens of thousands, and I was tired of thinking that my family was worth tens of thousands of guan. I went in and out by car, and hundreds of children and servants were called by the people: Su Feng Ye..."

Speaking of this, Yang Chengyan didn't forget to wait for the teasing general himself to give a light bump to Huang Zhong with his shoulder.

"It's a good thing that you can earn a lot of money in three to five years. If Huang Shiling hears about it, it's possible to sit still?"

Hearing Yang Chengyan's question that was waiting to be teased, Huang Zhong only subconsciously opened his mouth, but stopped talking several times.

Because Huang Zhong found out that when Yang Cheng extended the beautiful scenes of 'going in and out of the car', 'avoiding the road at the head of Guizhou', 'accompanied by a child servant' and 'every family's money', after he substituted it in himself, he just threatened to 'earn money' Huang Zhong, who gave all the money to the country, actually felt a little...

Obsessed!

Huang Zhong already felt a deep obsession with just being in his mind, which was obviously not reality, but just the nothingness of his own fantasy!

——When Yang Chengyan touched himself with his arm, Huang Zhong hadn't recovered from his reverie, and even subconsciously felt a little annoyed!
Anger at Yang Chengyan for interrupting his daydream, causing him to escape from the beautiful scene with regret...

"Your officer..."

He tried to open his mouth again, but the bottom line in Huang Zhong's heart finally made him quietly swallow the phrase "I can".

Seeing Huang Zhong's appearance, Yang Chengyan did not show any disappointment, instead, he showed a little appreciation because of Huang Zhong's frankness.

Nodding his head in his heart, Yang Chengyan smiled again, got up from the ground, and patted the dust on his back.

"Hey!"

"Mo Yan Huang Shiling, even though I heard what I said, I also felt a little fascinated."

Hearing Yang Chengyan's self-mockery, the shame on Huang Zhong's face froze.

He raised his head a little uneasy, and when Yang Chengyan nodded with a chuckle again, Huang Zhong bounced up from the ground in surprise.

"Mr. Zongyang, can't resist the lure of huge profits from merchants?!"

Asked in a tone of astonishment, Huang Zhong thought for a moment, and finally lowered his head in great disappointment.

"Duke Yang is one of the nobles of the nine courts, and he is a courtier of the Zhu Kingdom. He can't ignore the interests of merchants and stay in chaos; the lower officials are only a grain market order, so how can..."

As he spoke in frustration, Huang Zhong suddenly stopped talking, and then raised his head in shock.

"Could it be!"

"Mr. Yang didn't want to be a young mansion, but he was more willing to travel the world for Jia and seek business profit?!"

Seeing that the topic was dragged further and further away by Huang Zhong, Yang Chengyan couldn't help but chuckle, stretched out his hand, and hit Huang Zhong's shoulder lightly.

"I am a young mansion, and I have received the grace of His Majesty for knowing me, so I have no complaints."

"As well as the huge profits of merchants, I envy it, but I disdain it."

When Huang Zhong's face showed a little confusion, he saw Yang Chengyan raised his head a little chicly, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the little bit of sunset behind the mountain.

"Gentlemen love fortune, in a proper way."

"Being rich is a human desire; to be born a human being is different from livestock and savage beasts, and the first thing is to suppress desire."

"If you indulge your desires and do not restrain your desires with benevolence and righteousness, you will not be a human being, but a jackal, a jackal, and a beast."

"——I am a young mansion, with a salary of two thousand stones in food, my parents, wives and children have enough food and clothing, and there is no risk of hunger or cold."

"This is enough..."

After saying the words with utmost calmness, Yang Chengyan turned his head to the side again, and looked at Huang Zhong with a light smile.

"It's not that I don't like the wealth of a family and the wealth of a county and a county."

"——If I have the opportunity to wear armor and hold a blade, and kill thieves in battle, I will fight the enemy bravely, so as to seek the nobles of the Marquis and the food of thousands of households."

"What is this?"

"—A man who stands up to the heavens and the earth, should make an indelible contribution, shining on the lintel, and benefiting future generations!"

With that said, Yang Chengyan finally raised his hand again, put it on Huang Zhong's still thin shoulders, and leaned himself forward a little.

"So, Huang Shiling, do you understand?"

"Being a merchant for a business, walking around the world, buying low and selling high to make a profit, even if you end up with a million-dollar family, this family is worth ten thousand, may it shine on the lintel?"

"Maybe it will benefit the country and the people?"

"It's possible that the township party heard about it, so I respectfully call it: Husband?"

Listening to Yang Chengyan uttering his teachings like a teacher, the hesitation and confusion on Huang Zhong's face finally turned into firmness bit by bit.

"Your officer..."

"understand!"

"A gentleman's wealth should not only be for money, but for the benefit of the country and the people!"

"Merchants and merchants only get money and gold in vain, but fall into the lintel of their ancestors and leave their reputation to future generations!"

"When a man stands in the world, he should hold a three-foot sword and make indelible achievements in battle. Only then can he have a wealth of wealth and not be despised by the world!"

Seeing that Huang Zhong finally understood what he meant, Yang Chengyan finally smiled in relief, and patted Huang Zhong on the shoulder.

"Today's Shaofu, although there are thousands of officials, but from less than a thousand stones, there is only one person in Huang Shiling, who can be called a material for making."

"In the future, Huang Shi Ling only needs to be loyal to his duties, work hard, and return to 20 years old. I don't know if my Han family will get another commoner mansion?"

After saying that, Yang Chengyan smiled slightly, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards Chang'an City not far away.

But it is a pity that Huang Zhong, the Chang'an Grain Market Commander, did not become the second "Bu Yi Shaofu" of the Han Dynasty as Yang Chengyan expected.

In Qing History, only the following record of the name 'Huang Zhong' is left.

·
——Emperor Taizong's 11th year, three parts of internal history, said: Zuo Fengyi, You Fufeng, Jing Zhaoyin.

In addition to the internal history in Jiuqing, a new big farmer was established to replace it, focusing on agriculture and food affairs; Huang Zhong, the right minister of Shaofu, was set up as a big farmer.

In the summer and April of the 27th year of Emperor Taizong, Huang Zhong, a great farmer, died of illness. The Jingzhao thousands of miles lamented, and the people wept and supported the coffin, and was buried next to the Anling.

Hearing that Da Nong died of illness, Emperor Taizong cried for three days, and said to his left and right: "Today I lost Da Nong, it is because Heaven is jealous of me, and it took away the Han Dynasty.

In Xia Wuyue, Huang Zhong was posthumously named Gao Lianghou, and his posthumous title was: Wen.

Lai Gaoliang Wenhou's achievements in governing the big farmers, in the 11th year of Emperor Taizong, and in the 19th year of the [-]th year, there were tens of millions of people in Guanzhong, and there was no one who died of hunger and cold...
