Chapter 88 Debate
"My lord, the fish soup seems to be ready."

As early as when the fish soup was cooking in the pot, Xiaoyu on the side was staring closely at it. Although Heng Xiulin's grilled fish tasted very good, it was indeed inferior to the fish soup. point.

There is no way around this. Without enough condiments, it is already very good that the fish that has been tested can be roasted into such a shape.

"not yet."

Heng Xiulin glanced at the pot and saw that the soup was a little milky white. He glanced at Xiaoyu immediately and said, the fish soup needs to be boiled to milky white. The soup is just saying that it is almost ready, but it is far from ready.

Hearing this, Xiaoyu looked at the fish soup in the pot with some disappointment, and then lowered her head to eat the grilled fish in her hand. The smell of the fish soup became stronger and stronger, and the people on the side sniffed the smell without realizing it. looking there.

Fortunately, everyone had eaten before, otherwise, it would be embarrassing to make some inappropriate voices at this time.

At this time, the middle-aged man also looked at the fish soup in the pot. Compared with everything he had eaten before, the aroma was a bit more fragrant. Looking at the tumbling fresh fish in the pot, the middle-aged man Suddenly, there was a hint of greed.

"Boy, give me a bowl too."

The middle-aged man was not too polite, there was nothing he wanted to eat that he couldn't eat, so he immediately sat aside and gave orders to Heng Xiulin.

"Father"

Seeing this, the servant who had been following the middle-aged man quickly stood up, looked at Heng Xiulin warily, and then spoke to the middle-aged man, but he hadn't finished speaking, the middle-aged man He just waved his hand and stopped him from speaking.

Seeing this, the servant immediately stood beside him helplessly, and then fixed his eyes on Heng Xiulin, fearing that Heng Xiulin would do something poisonous.

When Heng Xiulin heard the middle-aged man's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then the corner of his mouth twitched. This man was really rude, but Heng Xiulin's impression of this middle-aged man was not bad. nodded.

"What you said before is to let the common people be able to eat. What you said is simple, but it is very difficult to do."

The middle-aged man looked at Heng Xiulin and brought up something he hadn't figured out just now, but he just asked casually about it. He didn't think Heng Xiulin could give a solution, after all Judging by Heng Xiulin's age, he is really too young.

And the reason why he asked this was because Heng Xiulin said something casually, and then this difficult problem was thrown to him, which made him a little upset, because this question really gave him a headache.

"What's so difficult about that."

Hearing this, Heng Xiulin immediately glanced at the middle-aged man, and then spoke.

"Hmph, be careful, boy, are these things not difficult if you say it's not difficult?"

The servant couldn't help it at this moment, he stared directly at Heng Xiulin and said, because from Heng Xiulin's tone, he felt a strong sense of disdain, and dared to treat the person next to him with Speaking in this tone, it was simply impatient to live.

The middle-aged man frowned, and after glancing at the servant, the servant trembled and quickly lowered his head.

"Little brother said it is simple, can you tell me how to do it?"

The middle-aged man looked at Heng Xiulin with some doubts. Hearing what Heng Xiulin said, it seemed that it was really possible to solve this problem, but judging by Heng Xiulin's age, he felt that he should not have hope.

"Do you know what to do to make the most money?"

Heng Xiulin did not answer the middle-aged man directly, but asked the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man thought for a while, and then replied, "Business."

This is not a difficult problem, as long as you think about it a little, you can think of it.

"Since doing business can make money, why don't people be encouraged to do business?"

When Heng Xiulin heard the words, he spoke directly.

"That's because merchants just transport goods and make money from it. They can't grow food or produce anything useful. If everyone is allowed to do business, who will plow and weave."

The middle-aged man said without thinking, it is not unreasonable that the status of the merchant is so low. For those in power, they naturally hope that everyone can farm and then pay some taxes. Those who exist, the land, as long as they In a word, it can be taken away, which is a benefit to them.

"But the reality is that the people who do business are the wealthiest, and the people who work hard for a year may only be able to fill their stomachs, and there is not much oil and water on the food for a year."

When Heng Xiulin waved his hand, he directly interrupted the middle-aged man's words. The middle-aged man was dumbfounded when he heard the words. He knew that what Heng Xiulin said was correct. No matter what he said, the businessmen were the richest, and the farmers worked hard. Hard farming is not as rich as these merchants.

It is obviously the most humble line, why is it so?The middle-aged man frowned at this moment, and he couldn't figure out the reason for this.

"Then why are the common people working so hard to cultivate, but not as rich as the merchants?"

Seeing the middle-aged man frowning, the servant looked at Heng Xiulin and asked directly. The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this. He couldn't figure it out, so he might as well ask Heng Xiulin directly.

Hearing this, Heng Xiulin glanced at him, and then said, "That's because these common people have not been liberated from the land, and these merchants are just the most low-level transportation."

"Appreciate further details."

Hearing the words, the middle-aged man was shocked immediately, and then asked Heng Xiulin. Right now, he no longer dared to treat Heng Xiulin as a man of empty talk.

Hearing this, Heng Xiulin ignored him, but picked up a bowl at the side, filled it for him, and then filled another bowl for Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu took it, blew it a few times, and sipped it quickly After taking a sip, the fish soup, which didn't dare to be boiling hot, immediately scalded her straight to the stone.

Heng Xiulin served himself a bowl, and after the blowing had cooled slightly, he immediately took a sip. The incomparably fresh taste directly stimulated Heng Xiulin's taste buds.

Heng Xiulin let out a breath, and turned his head to look at the middle-aged man, Heng Xiulin was dumbfounded at this glance, the servant was inserting a silver needle into the fish soup at the moment.

Seeing this, Heng Xiulin shook his head and didn't say anything. This person has an extraordinary background and presumably has a very high status. It seems normal to be acting like this now.

"Speaking of doing business, some merchants buy goods from the people, and then sell them after they are brought to a certain place. Because this thing is relatively rare in another place, it is more expensive, and the goods purchased from the place of origin are naturally also expensive. It’s cheap, and in this way, some profits are made.”

While drinking the fish soup, Heng Xiulin said to the middle-aged man. Originally, he could not eat or sleep, but now Heng Xiulin's words directly aroused his thoughts, and he also Ignoring these things, she stared straight at Heng Xiulin, waiting for him to continue.

"I remember that the southwest is rich in silk, but in other places, it is extremely expensive to sell. If it is in other places, open a special workshop, go there to buy silk, and then start weaving. In this way, the cost of the cloth will be lower. A lot, the price that many people want to buy, can be accepted by many people, so that the sales volume will be much higher, and the profit will naturally be higher."

"As for such a workshop, you think it needs a lot of servants? Those women who are at home on weekdays can take the opportunity to earn some household income. The wages among them can be worth a few taels of silver in ten days."

Heng Xiulin calculated to the middle-aged man that this was a very huge sum, just opening a workshop could make many families rich, and the most profitable was naturally that workshop.

"How about food?"

Hearing Heng Xiulin's words, the middle-aged man immediately frowned slightly, and then asked, at the moment, he can't confirm whether what Heng Xiulin said is wrong, because he hasn't seen it with his own eyes, so he can't Judge immediately.

But for some reason, he vaguely felt that what Heng Xiulin said was very feasible.

"In the south of Jiang Country, grain is abundant. Naturally, we can cultivate it vigorously here, then buy it at a higher price, and sell it everywhere. Moreover, I heard that Jing State's grain is extremely rich and the price is relatively low? When the time comes, where should we go? Purchase grain and transport it back to Jiangguo."

When Heng Xiulin heard the words, he said directly that although business is strongly encouraged, it is not necessarily true that the common people will give up farming, but it is always something to think about.

"Jing Guo is another country, why would he buy food from us?"

The middle-aged man frowned slightly, and asked Heng Xiulin.

"Originally, it was sold for one stone and two taels of silver, but you bought it for two and a half taels, why would people not want it? This is giving money to others."

Heng Xiulin raised his head slightly, and after saying something, he lowered his head and began to drink the fish soup. As long as there is no war, there is no reason not to do business, after all, it is a profit.

"There is a saying that the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit."

After Heng Xiulin finished speaking, he ignored the middle-aged man and concentrated on dealing with the fish soup in his hand. As for Xiaoyu, he never paid attention to the conversation between Heng Xiulin and the two of them. For Xiaoyu, the two of them talked It was all so mysterious that she didn't understand it at all.

And the middle-aged man on the side, after hearing Heng Xiulin's words, suddenly became pensive, thinking about what Heng Xiulin said, and there was no sound for a long time.
