People in the Three Kingdoms: Starting from Preaching

Chapter 403 The final conclusion
Trust the wisdom of future generations.
After Tian Shitou walked out of the office, Xu Chen lay in the chair and recalled this sentence, then he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

What a helpless statement! If possible, I would also like to know what the end point will be like.

Unfortunately, even in later generations, this is still the ultimate question that humans are tirelessly pursuing, let alone now.

In this regard, he had no advantage over the natives of that era like Tian Shitou.

Let's go and see.
Shaking his head to get rid of these messy thoughts, Xu Chen's eyes fell on the charcoal pencil at hand. Without thinking too much, he sat up straight, then spread out a piece of paper and began to write something seriously.

The last word was a simple title: "On Government-run and Privately-owned Enterprises".

The economic structure of Xuanxia must be based on government-run enterprises and supplemented by private enterprises.

The people's livelihood is more important than Mount Tai, and I, Xuanxia, ​​stand on the people's will and receive orders from the people, so I should be responsible for the people.
The lengthy article does not focus on fancy words, but uses simple words to express direct and precise meanings, which are enough for any literate person to easily understand the meaning.

It was not until a long time later, when the article was finished, that Xu Chen rang the bell on the table, and after the clerk came in, he gave his instructions.

"Send this manuscript to the newspaper office. I want to see it on the front page of the next issue!"

When the clerk took the order and left, Xu Chen finally relaxed. This great debate that he had initiated and lasted for nearly two months had finally come to an end.

The opinion that Tian Shitou suddenly expressed today is enough to show that this debate has reached the limit of its influence. There is no point in continuing it. It is time for him to stand up and make the final judgment.

By the time the next issue of the newspaper comes out, this article will have put all the current debate to rest.

Xu Chen was not happy about engaging in any personal worship, but as a leader in a business, he simply could not avoid such things. In Xuanxia, ​​nothing could be greater than his own will.

No matter how fiercely people are arguing now, once they see Xu Chen’s clear position, they will follow him without hesitation.

Master, you can't be wrong!
Things turned out just as Xu Chen had expected. The new issue of the newspaper was published a few days later, and this final article came into the sight of countless people. The heated debate also died down in an instant.

Although if Xu Chen wanted, he could choose to directly draw the line without having to go through the trouble of promoting this debate.

But the difference is that after this long debate, the vast majority of Xuanxia’s students and officials have formed their own thoughts on Xuanxia’s institutional foundation and economic route, and have understood and absorbed various different ideas in the collision of ideas in this debate.

In such a debate, the social consensus reached by Xu Chen's final conclusion is obviously many times more solid than simple indoctrination.

In fact, after this debate, the business community suddenly jumped into the public eye from being at the forefront of public attention. After a long period of debate, a trend of vigilance against this group gradually emerged.

It can be said that Xu Chen achieved all the goals he wanted to achieve and was very successful.

Some smart people who witnessed the whole process naturally realized Xu Chen's unusual purpose afterwards, and also noticed Xu Chen's vague vigilance towards the business community. A very obvious change is that after Xu Chen's final article was published, Xun Chen and Ju Shou never mentioned these things again, and even their own business, which they occasionally talked about with Xu Chen before, is now completely forgotten.

In addition to them, there were two other people in the community who formed their own opinions after witnessing the entire debate process.

"My brother is indeed a man of great foresight. It was just as he said. When the debate was most intense, he stood up and ended everything." In the private room on the second floor of the restaurant, Mi Fang was holding a newspaper and reading the article on the front page in which Xu Chen made the final conclusion. At the same time, he was praising his brother Mi Zhu in amazement.

He had to admit that Mi Zhu had already made the judgment when they first entered the capital.

Now two months have passed, and everything has been confirmed. Mi Zhu's judgment was completely correct, which made Mi Fang have to admit that such a precise vision was enough for him to ponder carefully for a lifetime.

Of course, no matter how amazed they were, the final outcome of this incident might not be good news for the two brothers.

The most regrettable thing is that Xu Chen, the actual ruler of Xuanxia, ​​finally chose a route that was not so friendly to merchants, which inevitably disappointed the two big businessmen Mi Zhu and Mi Fang.

"From this perspective, although Xuan Xia appears to be lenient towards merchants, he actually still dislikes merchants in his heart. If we stay, is this really a good thing?"

Mi Fang put down the newspaper, then looked at Mi Zhu who was drinking calmly in front of him, and couldn't help but worry.

After more than two months of investigation, they have almost figured out Xuan Xia. It has to be said that this place really gave them a strong urge to "place a bet".

Unfortunately, at this last step, they keenly sensed Xuan Xia's implicit resistance and vigilance towards merchants from top to bottom, which undoubtedly poured a bucket of cold water on them.

Mi Zhu drank the wine in one gulp without showing much expression, and was completely unmoved by the article.

Mi Fang couldn't help but feel puzzled: "Don't you think so, brother? With Xuan Xia's attitude towards merchants, if we surrender here, it's hard to say what will happen in the future."

Mi Zhu put down the wine cup and said calmly: "Do we have a choice?"

Mi Fang was stunned for a moment, then he smiled bitterly: "Based on what we have seen of the people of Xuanxia and their level of wealth, it seems that we really have no choice."

This was not self-deprecation, but the result that reason told him. The more they understood Xuan Xia, the more they lost confidence in the heroes of the southern states and counties. Compared with Xuan Xia, the gap between the various princes was like that between a firefly and the bright moon.

If we can't win the fight, then everything else is just empty talk. It seems that there are choices now, but in fact there are no choices. Even a fool can see that Xuan Xia is already on the road to victory, so there is no point in considering joining Xuan Xia for an uncertain future.

Mi Zhu nodded: "Of course, no matter what, this is still our best choice. The officials don't cause trouble, there is a unified large market, and a simple and clear tax system. These are enough for us to join in. It is better to see the situation clearly and take the initiative to serve than to be captured later."

Mi Fang sighed: "If that's the case, then we should plan for relocation after we return."
