Fantasy Three Kingdoms: Four knots in Taoyuan at the beginning

Chapter 165 Chapter 162
Chen Yuan took a sip of tea calmly, and said to Tian Feng and Jushou, "Second Lord, you know the four people of the country."

Chen Yuan's question is very simple, but anyone who has studied Guan Zhong knows it.

Although Jushou didn't know what Chen Yuan meant by asking this, he still replied: "Guan Zi said: 'The four people who are scholars, farmers, businessmen, and the people of the country are also the stone people of the country.' The four people of the country are scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen."

Chen Yuan nodded: "Well, do you think that the four people can be divided into superior and inferior?"

Ju Shou didn't even think about it: "There is a distinction between high and low. Scholars go up to be the emperor in charge of the court, and down to be the parents of the people. They mediate good fortune and sort out yin and yang. However, it is easy to arouse people's disapproval and disrespect, righteousness, integrity and shame, so it is at the bottom of the four peoples."

"From this point of view, Gong and Gong think that business should be banned?"

"It's not forbidden, but it should be restricted, so as not to dissuade people and disrupt order."

Chen Yuan asked: "During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Huan of Qi used Guan Zhong as his chancellor to unite the nine armies and become the overlord. Guan Zhongke was a businessman, and the state of Qi did not suppress businessmen. Instead, he became the head of the five tyrants. What did he do?" explain?"

There is something for others to teach.

"However, the final outcome of the Qi State is to be replaced by the Tian Clan. In fact, the Qi State was bought by the Tian Clan."

Chen Yuan looked at Ju Shou meaningfully, Ju Gong and Yu really dared to speak.

You must know that the Tian family is the ancestor of the Sima family and the Chen family.

Dare to tell this kind of secret history, not afraid of offending people?

After thinking about it again, yes, Jushou, Sima and Chen are not in the same group. They belong to the Hebei faction, and Sima and Chen belong to the Yingchuan Haoqiang Group.

Can't wait to smear more black.

Chen Yuan shook his head: "I don't think so. In my opinion, business is the way to make a country rich."

"Thus, those who are good follow it, secondly guide them, secondly teach them, secondly organize them, and lastly compete with them. As long as merchants are not restricted, business will naturally develop rapidly. , Only when it is circulated can the country become rich, the country is rich, the army is strong, and the country is rich, the people are strong.”

Ju Shou retorted directly: "If businessmen are not restricted, extravagance will prevail, people's hearts will be uncertain, and everyone will act after profit. How can the fields be plowed and officials should be appointed?"

Chen Yuan stroked his palms and sighed: "Isn't this what we hope to see?"

Ju Shou was taken aback.

What do you mean?
No one is farming, no one is an official, isn't the country going to be in chaos?

You, Chen Zichu, must be in a daze.

Seeing Ju Shou's bewilderment, Chen Yuan explained: "Have you ever thought about it, even if everyone is pursuing profit, is there no one to cultivate the fields, is there no one to be an official? impossible."

"Why?"

"Because there is a pair of invisible hands controlling the entire operation of the country."

"The invisible hand?"

"Yes, this hand I call the market."

"Why?"

"Public and public, think about it. If there is not enough food, with the characteristics of businessmen seeking profit, once food becomes scarce, will they plant it? If officials become scarce, will they take the initiative to become officials? As long as it is profitable, businessmen can penetrate everywhere."

"If there is a 20.00% profit, the businessman will be ready to move; if there is a 50.00% profit, the businessman will take risks; if there is a [-]% profit, the businessman will dare to risk beheading; if there is [-]% If there is a profit of hundreds of dollars, the businessman dares to trample on all the laws of the world."

"A typical example is Lu Buwei's rare goods to live in."

Ju Shou was even more confused: "So, shouldn't merchants be restricted?"

Chen Yuan waved his hand: "Restrictions are useless. Human nature is to seek profit. Restrictions will only lead businessmen to evil paths, distort business, and weaken the power of the country."

"It should be a guide for businessmen, so that business can become one of the country's powerful driving forces."

To be honest, this has touched the blind spots of Jushou and Tian Feng, and what does it have to do with the policies you implemented in Jingzhou.

The purpose of Chen Yuan's circle around was to guide their eyes not to be limited to the land, and to stop looking at this small world within Kyushu.

There must be a sense of pioneering and a sense of expansion and aggression.

To be honest, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did have this kind of awareness and beat the Huns into dogs.

But Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't operate well. The war with the Huns was more for his personal ambitions, and it didn't actually benefit the country much.

After the Han-Hungarian War, the wealth accumulated by Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing was almost spent by him.

This just didn't work well.

In fact, if the Xiongnu is defeated by the way of sheep eating people, not only will it not weaken the big man, but it will make the big man stronger.

Let the merchants go to the Huns to buy wool, and exchange it with grain, tea and wine.

Wool can be used to weave clothes to keep out the cold.

There are tens of millions of people in the big man, and the amount of wool needed is so huge. In this way, the Huns will become wool slaves of my big man.

Well, you said the Huns robbed?

Are so many troops raised by the country living on dry food?
At this time, a Han is a five-hu man, and he will be killed if he rushes to grab it.

Once the Huns found out that they didn't need to rob, they just needed to raise sheep quietly and provide the Han people with wool to live a good life, so ghosts would rob them.

If things go on like this, the Huns will gradually lose their wolf nature, and truly become the shepherds of the big man.

Of course, this policy is not only suitable for the Huns, but also for all ethnic groups on the grassland.

This is also one of the sharp weapons that Chen Yuan plans to deal with the grassland barbarians in the future.

Of course, in this process, there will definitely be some smart people among the barbarians who can see through the power of it, and will definitely resist.

It's just that this kind of resistance may not need the help of a big man, and they will kill these people by themselves.

Because it affects their living a good life.

Therefore, to expand the territory, the whole Dahan must be able to gain benefits, so that there will be motivation. As long as a fixed pattern can be formed, it will be like a snowball, and it will continue to roll down, eventually expanding the territory of the Dahan to the whole world.

At that time, it would really be an empire on which the sun never sets.

Where the sun and the moon shine, and where the rivers and rivers flow, are all Han soil.

To realize this policy, the aristocratic family's eyes must be liberated from the land, from the Kyushu, and look beyond Guangao's Kyushu.

In this policy, businessmen are an indispensable force.

Chen Yuan's implementation of these three policies is to force more people to engage in business, and don't just think about land and being an official. This kind of thinking is undesirable.

To achieve this goal, it is necessary to have a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other.

The three policies are a big stick, and as for the carrot, Chen Yuan has already planned it out.

It's time for the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce to come out.
