Chapter 665 The City of Virtue
Chapter 665 The City of Virtue
The feelings of the people in Handan towards the Mohists are actually in a very delicate state on the whole.
Handan, as the heart of Mohist activities in the north of the Yellow River and the earliest large-scale shaft furnace iron smelting base in the north of the Yellow River, has had a subtle influence over the past ten years.
However, as the earliest cities of the Zhao family, Handan City missed the team in the era of Jianzi and Xiangzi, but with the tense relationship between Zhao State and Wei State in recent years and Ximen Bao's imposition on Zhao State in Yedi, Stress, and most importantly hundreds of years of habit and awareness, there are still many people who are still a little bit embarrassed.
I'm sorry, but it's actually very easy to understand.
Mr. Zhang is a good person. Mr. Zhang treats us very well. We lend him money and still charge interest, and take advantage of the fire to claim our own rights and interests. After all, many people feel that it is not good.
From the ignorant unwillingness to be a slut who distinguishes between noble and humble, to the feeling that the system of distinguishing between noble and humble is unreasonable, this is a long awakening process.
And the fact that Young Master Zhang will manage Handan as his future capital, and the fact that the Mohist family has not turned their backs and exposed their ambitions, has curbed this ignorant unwillingness to be a bitch.
Judging by the current moral standards, the embarrassment in the hearts of those who feel that lending money to Gong Zizhang requires interest and rights can be regarded as an example of Handan not being a completely immoral city.
Although external evaluation, they have no virtue.
But in fact, it is far from being truly immoral.
The truly immoral people will take it for granted that the money lent to Gongzizhang this time will be returned, and a square foot cloth will get a lot of interest. A feast of benefits.
It's a pity that most people are still some distance away from the normal state of mind, which makes the Mohists who are active in Handan feel quite helpless and failed, and feel that the road is long and the road is long.
It is those richer businessmen who are the first to be immoral.
After the day's gathering dispersed, some big businessmen in Handan City gathered together to discuss the future and the future.
They have differences with the Mohists regarding the franchise of grasslands, and they will inevitably feel a little dissatisfied.
"I can see that the Mohist family is sure about it, and they want to divide the principal of the franchise. Except for the Mohisth family who take the majority, they would rather lend money to some people and let the people participate. "
"Actually, those of us who are short of money are enough to take it out, but they are not allowed."
The merchants in silk muttered their dissatisfaction in their hearts, and they were not afraid that there might be people close to the Mo family hidden among them, anyway, this kind of muttering had already been made clear.
The murmurs belong to the murmurs, but because of the interests, the connection with the Mohists is really cut off.
Without the military support of the Mohists, they are not sure that they can make money.
Without the power of the Mo family, they are not sure whether the wealth they manage will become the property of the treasury.
Muttering is just to express dissatisfaction in the heart, but it is not a harbinger of turning around.
The person next to him waited for everyone to finish muttering, then shook his head and said, "There is no way to do this, and I can see it too. Is the Mo family short of money? No."
"Then it's obvious that it's a matter of making money. The Mo family distributed it to everyone. Why? We have to think about this clearly, otherwise there will be accidents in the future. Only when we know what the other party wants, can we know what we can do. "
This is not a difficult question. These merchants do not deny that the Mohist family has abundant financial resources, not to mention that Sishang is considered a big vassal state that can support it, but the industrial and commercial operations in Gaoliu, Handan and other places have collapsed. From Jinyang, such as the Guo family and other big families that are closely related to the nobles, it shows that the Mo family has no shortage of money.
The person who was muttering just now snorted, "What do you need to say? The Mo family is rich, but most of them are in Sishang. Regarding Zhao Guo's affairs, they are not short of money, but they are short of people."
"The people are gods. The more people there are, the more industries in Zhao's land will make no one of Zhaohou dare to move lightly."
"It's like fighting a war. You can't rely entirely on soldiers, you have to rely on pawns, right? We are pawns."
This metaphor is derived from the words of the Mohists who are the vanguard of the four horses and the first to benefit the world from the Mohists.
It doesn't quite fit, but it's easy for people next to you to understand.
The person who asked the question clapped his hands and said, "That's it, what a simple truth, so what else is there to complain about?"
"Let's say, without the Mo family's action, this iron smelting business belongs to the Guo family, and we can't help it even if we are jealous."
"If the grassland is really profitable, then Zhaohou must choose some people who are similar to the nobles, and it will not be our turn."
"And how can our property be our own? Today's Qiujia tax, tomorrow's tax, and the day after tomorrow we will have to pay for the war, and the day after that we will be short of soldiers...how can we do it?"
"Unless the Mo family stands behind us, without them, we will not be able to share the benefits on the grassland. Now you think that there will be less benefits in the future, but don't forget that without them, we will not get benefits... "
"Besides...you and I, businessmen, also know that the peasants resent, the craftsmen hate, and the nobles defend themselves. We benefit too much. The nobles use the power of farmers, workers, and small merchants to plunder us, but what should we do?"
"Now that there are more people involved, we have less resentment and more friends. Only profit can make people be best friends. The more people involved, the better?"
The people present didn’t know this truth, and they murmured to the man before: “This truth is understandable. It’s just that the truth is truth, but now, the grassland franchise makes profits, and the interest is doubled every year. Let me invest [-] yuan, it will inevitably be like eating half of the meat in my mouth..."
One of the merchants stood up and said, "Eating half is also eating."
"Look at it now, it's definitely profitable. In the future, it's not a secret to gain profit, I'm afraid someone will be jealous."
"Where can you listen to the words of princes and nobles?"
This can be regarded as a sincere statement. The monarch will always change his name and find a way to get money from the common farmers and business class.
Businessmen, especially those who have become rich by various means, very much hope that a force can be relied on to protect everything they have acquired.
The origin of wealth can be traced back to the land, and the first people who owned a large amount of land must have used many means, including but not limited to violence, that is, the first batch of nobles.
Speaking of the businessmen sitting here, they actually have noble blood to some extent, but their source of wealth is not limited to labor rent on the fief, which makes the identity brought by blood blood less important.
Speaking of the future, many people are thinking, what should they do if one day Zhao Hou wants to take away their wealth and take away their constant wealth such as franchise rights?
When it comes to this topic, some things have to be faced, but this issue is not easy to explain too clearly.
Who can represent their interests?Who can have power and violence in Zhao and stand on their side?
it goes without saying.
But it's hard to say it directly.
Someone whispered: "The Mohists are definitely not doing it for money, they have other ideas. You see, if it is really for money, the most profitable things on the grassland are muskets, gunpowder, and swords, but these are strictly forbidden by the Mohism." For sale."
"If we don't sell it, someone else will definitely sell it secretly, and the profit will be a hundredfold! Even if caught, he will be executed, but the profit will be a hundredfold, and there will always be people who don't care about their lives."
"When the Mohists came to Zhao, if they only wanted to make a profit, they would not have gone to Gaoliu, but would have sold swords, iron, gunpowder to the barbarians. They didn't sell them, and they always said they were beneficial to the world. What do you mean by benefiting the world? what?"
There is something in the words, and someone received it: "Naturally, it is common farmers, businessmen, and businessmen who benefit the world for the people of the world, so it is called benefiting the world."
"We don't understand the righteousness of the Mohists, but there is one thing. If we say benefit the world, we must also benefit the world. That's called benefiting the world, right? We are also considered people in the world."
Inevitably, among the merchants, there were also some people who had the air of a knight in the street. Hearing these veiled words, they laughed and said, "Haven't we always been like this? Young Master Chao and Young Master Zhang have nothing to do with us. Why do we support Young Master?" Zhang? Isn’t it for profit?”
"At the beginning of the son's rebellion, son Zhang had no money. Whether he has money is none of my business? If the Mo family hadn't talked with him and asked us to borrow money so that we could benefit later, why should I invest money in him?"
"Do you know what the price is for transferring a batch of cattle and horses to Sishang, and then exchange them for Qilin from Sishang? If there is no higher profit than that, even if the Mohists say it is wrong, we will not be able to lend money to Mr. Zhang .Besides, if it is not for the Mohist guarantor, the princes and nobles will not pay back the money, what can you and I do?"
He didn't care whether his words would be heard by people who shouldn't listen, and said loudly: "I still say that, whoever makes us profit, we will listen to him. Whoever can't move our profit will be We recognize Zhao Hou!"
This is a truly "immoral" speech, spoken with confidence and confidence, without any hesitation.
It's just that the "immoral" thing was done first, and now it's just saying these words. Although the crowd didn't want to get angry, they didn't refute it.
The man expressed his thoughts directly, feeling happy immediately, and said: "If Marquis Zhao refuses to admit it in the future, or wants to take back the franchise... Humph, then we can't blame us. For this matter, we really have to rely on the Mo family , this chamber of commerce must not be poured in, and the water from Mr. Guihua, don't even think about pouring in."
Everyone thought that this should be the case, if one day Marquis Zhao wanted to steal their business, they would naturally resist.
Originally, I definitely didn't dare, because there was no way out for resistance.
Now it is different, with the Mo family, there may be a way out once they resist, because some people in the Mo family have guns.
In the silence, someone couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity that the Mo family is not short of money. It would be great if they were short of money. When the world is in great prosperity, we can only add icing on the cake, and we can't give charcoal in a timely manner."
Another person said: "Whether it is sending charcoal in the snow or icing on the cake, it is someone else's work. There is no way, who told the Mohists to say that we, industrial and commercial people, are still weak now. Tell me, in this world, there are really businessmen like us who make things by themselves Is it?"
Many shook their heads, unable to imagine how a businessman could possibly have the power to do things by himself.Since they can't do anything, they can only become a supporting role, and they will never be able to dominate the "righteousness" of the world, because they are really too weak now, and they all know that they can only send charcoal and flowers.
