Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 953 Become famous in one fell swoop

  Chen Xin subconsciously took The Wealth of Nations, and began to read it out of anxiety.

  Looking at it... actually made the whole person full of energy.

market…

  Trade…

nation…

  Tax…

  The relationship between market and trade, the relationship between trade and taxation, the relationship between taxation and the state.

   Market volatility.

   Importance of merchants.

  The circulation of wealth.

  If it is someone else, maybe this book is still a bit awkward to understand.

  But Chen Xin suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

  Isn't what I'm in just a part of the market and trade.

  My own behavior can actually enrich the country.

   Of course... this is not the most critical.

  The key point is that the purchase and sale of goods originally comes from the demand of the market. When the market demand increases, it will cause a shortage, but when the market demand decreases, the opposite is true.

  He suddenly had an incredible feeling.

  Actually... Chen Xin is better than anyone else at how to buy and sell goods.

  He is a person with rich experience, but in the process, how to describe and define, he doesn't know why.

  Every businessman follows the experience of his predecessors to buy and sell goods, and to exchange, but in this book, what Chen Xin sees... is an interpretation.

  This is not only an affirmation of the market economy, but also pushes the status of merchants to a new level.

  The country needs scholars as well as merchants.

  Of course, the book does not overthrow the status of the city's farmers, industry and commerce, but only vaguely mentions that merchants are important to the country.

  Chen Xin's eyes lit up...

  He looked at it...Suddenly, he felt that his eyes were a little blurry, and tears were swirling in his eye sockets.

  His body trembled, and he felt a strange feeling.

  In this world, there are people who are willing to speak out for themselves.

  It not only interprets and defines the behavior of trade and commerce, but also highlights the role of merchants, and at the same time, affirms the behavior of merchants.

  This is the first time in hundreds of years.

   Merchants have always been lowly. Since the prosperity of Confucianism, a policy of suppressing merchants has been adopted. By the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the status of merchants...has reached the lowest level. In the eyes of many people, they are no longer different from Xumin.

This kind of blatant discrimination made merchants always fearful. The so-called county magistrates who broke the family were not aimed at the gentry. The gentry never feared the local parents and officials. If you find a reason, no matter how much wealth you have, your family will be destroyed.

  Of course... Merchants have a greedy side, and there are many things that hurt nature and reason for the sake of profit.

   But in this world, there are more ordinary merchants like Chen Xin who are mediocre, borrowing goods to buy and sell, and dare not break the law.

   It is human instinct to be greedy for profit.

   Those gentlemen, aren’t they greedy for profit? Could it be that just because they read the books of sages and sages, and they said a few words that a gentleman is magnanimous and a villain is respectful, do they really become gentlemen who do not eat the smoke and fire of the world? If so, how did so many refugees come into being in this world? It is not because these people who are full of benevolence and morality, these people who claim to be the proud sons of heaven, invaded the fields of the common people, and driven by greed, plundered and Encroaching on the fields of the common people, in the end, countless common people have no tiles on the top and no land to stand on, and in the end, go bankrupt directly?

As a businessman, Chen Xin had never dealt with those gentry who were above the top. The more he met, the more he felt that they were the same people as himself, and it was not because they read a few words of benevolence, righteousness and morality, He is more noble than a human being.

  Can now...

   Without agriculture there is no stability, without labor there is no strength, without business there is no wealth.

  When Chen Xin saw this... his body trembled.

This is a kind of déjà vu of being born as a human being suddenly, even if he is well-clothed at the moment, even if he is well-off, even if he has a lot of wealth, but now... he suddenly has a feeling of being a human again a feeling of.

  With tears in his eyes, he continued to read word by word, holding the book, and suddenly wanted to kneel down.

  This book, only when you kneel down and read it, can you understand your mood at the moment.

   The night was... long.

  It was so long that Chen Xin trembled while looking at the book energetically.

  He didn't even bother to ask about the backlog of silk in the warehouse.

   It's just a little loss, so what's the point?

  The most important thing is... In this book, I have become a person myself.

   Until the sky... a ray of morning light spilled into the hall.

  Suddenly, Chen Xin raised his head.

  Looking at the dawn and the nearly burnt out whale oil candle, Chen Xin felt as if he was in a dream.

   Outside, the steward looked at his master worriedly.

   I haven't slept all night, the master must still be worried about the silk.

   But at this time, the door opened.

  Chen Xin suddenly rushed out dancing.

   "Master...you..."

  Seeing that Chen Xin's face was sallow, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked haggard.

  The steward hurriedly said: "My lord, you have to pay attention to your body. If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about firewood. There will always be someone for those silks..."

   "Prepare the car!"

  At this time, the Mao hour has not yet arrived, and there is only a wisp of white belly in the sky.

  At this time...prepare the car...where to go?

   "Go to Xishan, hurry up, go to Xishan, I'm going to see Mr. Liu, I'm going to see Mr. Liu."

   He was pulling his throat.

  Without any trace of his usual pretending to be gentle and slow, he said with red eyes, "Hurry up!"

  …

  A carriage, hurried to Xishan.

  The owner here is a bit stinky and shameless. Except for the locals of Xishan, the rest... all have to buy a ticket to enter.

   It is said that... Factory Guard is almost going bankrupt.

In order to inquire about the news, pay attention to the development of Xishan at any time. At the time of factory guards, we must send Tiqi to Xishan. After all, the prince is here, and the emperor's grandson is here. You don't need to report to the emperor, but something happened here. You need to know.

  So...

   This back and forth ticket...is a bottomless pit.

   Chen Xin doesn't care, money... what is it?

  Merchants are also human beings. They have a greedy and penny-pinching side, but they also have a generous side.

   Arriving outside Xishan Academy, Chen Xin hesitated.

   Then, he ordered someone to take a name card and go to visit.

  He got out of the car and waited anxiously outside.

  Looking at the school of Nuo University, outside the school, there are memorial archways and plaques. On the plaques, there are so-and-so champions and so-and-so Jinshi, he can't help but look a little afraid.

  Here... is almost like the highest institution of learning in Ming Dynasty. The people here are enough to make people feel awe.

   A moment later, Liu Wenshan also came out with an anxious expression on his face.

  He hasn't received the name card yet, but it's late, and he has to go to the Hanlin Academy on duty, so he wears a winged cap on his head and a unicorn robe bestowed on him.

  Compared to other seniors, his official career is not good, and now, it is just a mere Hanlin compilation.

   Naturally, he doesn't care about these official positions, he prefers to stay in the academy.

  This Uncle Liu from Xishan Academy is a low-key person.

  He stepped out of the school, and met a strange person walking around.

  The man saw someone coming out, and looked at Liu Wenshan curiously.

   Obviously, Chen Xin did not recognize Liu Wenshan.

   Therefore, the two sides stared at each other for a few seconds.

  Suddenly, Chen Xin plucked up his courage: "I want to ask for advice. Dare to ask, Mr. Liu Wenshan, who is studying...is he here?"

   Liu Wenshan was silent.

  Looking at the man in brocade clothes, he was silent for a while, and then said: "I am."

   Three words came out.

  Liu Wenshan began to feel that the person in front of him was mentally abnormal.

  Seeing that Chen Xin's eyes filled with tears, he suddenly prostrated himself on the ground.

   Liu Wenshan was taken aback.

  What do you mean?

  What is this for?

"Your Majesty Chen Xin, I have met Mr...." Chen Xin choked up: "Mr. is a great talent, I really admire you very much. I am here to see you. Please don't blame me for being abrupt. Really, if I don't see Mr., I really can't sleep at night. , I’m not happy with the taste.”

   "..." Liu Wenshan was a little confused.

  Historically... Only my own brothers and sisters will be respected by countless people.

   This is excusable.

  Brother Ouyang, that is a model among the ministers. Countless people take him as a model, from the king to the ordinary officials, and they all have a good impression of him.

  Junior brother Wang Shouren, the world is full of peaches and plums, which new student would not throw himself to him.

  Brother Tang Yin is unparalleled in talent, full of compulsion, and although he has a bad temper, everyone likes such a little villain who is proud of his talents. What's more, he has made great achievements in defeating Japanese pirates, and no one can hide his brilliance.

  Junior brother Xu Jing...err...well, Junior Brother Xu is a bit miserable...There is no news again, and he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.

  And Liu Wenshan has always been one of the little transparent...

  Suddenly such an enthusiastic person came, he was a little overwhelmed, and couldn't help taking a step back: "You..."

   "My lord, Chen Xin, has been engaged in silk trading for generations. His status is lowly, and his name is not worth mentioning. Last night, I read Mr. Liu's book, and I was shocked. Today... I am here to see you."

  Chen Xin's voice was hoarse, and in his mind, he suddenly remembered the many viewpoints in The Wealth of Nations last night, and burst into tears again: "Mr.

  Liu Wenshan thought for a while, stepped forward, and helped him up.

   This feeling of being admired by others... is actually very cool.

   "Don't be too polite, don't be too polite, come on, if you have something to say, go inside and say it."

  Chen Xin said in amazement: "This...won't bother you sir."

"It's okay." Liu Wenshan said: "I'm going to be on duty, but...it's okay to be late." He ordered the groom who prepared the carriage and horses for him: "Just wait a little longer, I will come later .”

  There is a first time for everything...

  Liu Wenshan suddenly felt a little secretly happy.

  Of course, he didn't dare to show it. What his teacher taught was to keep a low profile and not to show off.

  ...

In the past two days, I went to Shanghai, took the high-speed rail, the subway, then the rehearsal, then the rehearsal, and finally the rehearsal, then went on stage, then took the handjob, took the car, and finally arrived home at ten o’clock last night. After sleeping for eight or nine hours, I finally had a good sleep last night, um... today... honestly resumed the update, outside, every minute is anxious, knowing that everyone is waiting for the update, I am really ashamed , well, everyone scold me.
