There are many officials in the world. Once a Legal institution that can be established with the Imperial College, these prides of heaven will face more fierce competition, and their own cake will be cut off, and no one will be willing to do so.

Many people like to say beautiful scenes when they are fine, but this does not mean that they really like competition. All people with resources like monopoly, even the same is true for human hope. When you are much worse than others, people will encourage you, but in fact they are just filling toxic chicken soup. When you really pose a threat, that is another matter.

When Zuo Changshi Zhang Bin, who had not been in the capital for a long time, brought a large number of students from the Imperial College to the Yan Palace, he was meeting Sima Ji and Luo Yong, who might become the new court lieutenant at any time, was discussing the issues of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.

"Although I hate merchants, the world still needs the profession of merchants. Any profession has a reason to exist." Sima Ji saw Zhang Bin holding a stack of memorials, pointing to the table next to him, and continued to look at Luo Yongdao, "You can't be in the Jin Dynasty and the level of scholars, peasants, industry and commerce. Any profession can be freely circulated. For example, the original insulting merchants needs to be abolished. In fact, for the entire empire, both peasants and workers far exceed the contributions of scholars and merchants. Workers and peasants are the foundation. These two groups do not exist, and everything else does not exist. If workers and peasants are dealt with, naturally no one will rebel."

"What the King of Yan said is that, however, the merchant class is still too likely to cause hostility." Luo Yong nodded frequently, deeply agreeing with this. The merchants occupy a very small number of people, which is normal for them to cause hostility.

"It is normal to cause hostility. If the merchants do not cause hostility, it means that the people are stupid. This is equivalent to the king going out to force the people to rob the women of the people. The men of the women help me guard the gate." Sima Ji, as an existence bathed in the sunshine of socialism, had no even vigilance against the merchant class, which was a waste of years of training in the Republic. "However, it is understandable that merchants sell what they produce. I am talking about another group of merchants. They do not produce things themselves, but they are just buying low and selling high. They must clearly point out such people. There are many such merchants under the Youzhou caravan in this king, and you should also understand it."

"Which King Yan is talking about the comprador?" Luo Yong suddenly realized that he knew that there was such a group of people under the Youzhou caravan, but this was the help of the Yan Prince's Mansion. The Yan King was preparing to control these people.

Of course, we need to control it, and it will be better if we don’t control it. Even the Qing Dynasty knew that compradors were not good things. Chinese people were not allowed to act as compradors at will, and foreign businessmen could not choose and hire them at will, and were strictly controlled by the court. With the development of comprador classes, they became intermediaries that monopolized trade in various places. Some people gradually lost their fair position, followed foreign aggression forces, and oppressed Chinese businessmen.

Later, the Qing Dynasty collapsed, and the short history of the Republic of China proved that the comprador class that had lost control was like wild horses that were out of control. It was better to buy than to make a fortune. Sima Ji was watching it tightly? Can compradors' profits closely follow the accumulation of wealth in the Yanwang Mansion? If he didn't watch it tightly, these middlemen would not be able to go to heaven?

Sima Ji controlled a Youzhou. If the production of goods was not made by these middlemen, the comprador class would turn the tables and destroy the industry in turn. This is a fact that already existed during the Republic of China.

"So the merchant class can be equal to other classes, but the definition of compradors must be clearly written into the Dajin Law. How to control it naturally must be clearly written into it. When they can serve the empire, it is not impossible to properly relax the control. If it harms the empire in turn, it must be eliminated. This depends on whether the existence of compradors is beneficial to the empire. Compradors may implicate the people's views on merchants, but there is no way. But we, the Legalists, cannot arrest people at will, so the Dajin Law must have a definition of compradors." Sima Ji proposed several control methods, yes, he was copying our Qing Dynasty.

There is nothing to do about this. Sima Ji wanted to copy the Republic of China, but the Republic of China seemed to have no regard for comprador class at all. Otherwise, how could it be like he was dead later? The late Qing Dynasty could make warships. The Republic of China had been fighting. The operation of closing military factories while fighting was enough. China's so-called first warship, the first railway, etc., in addition to the Qing Dynasty, it was Beiyang. The Republic of China, the artillery party, was really what history books said, foreign fire, foreign oil, foreign nails, foreign umbrellas...

After explaining the issues about scholars, farmers, industry and commerce clearly, let Luo Yong wait aside, and Sima Jicai said to Zhang Bin, "Is it a memorial for the students of the Imperial College?"

"The King of Yan is like a god's business." Zhang Bin smiled and came over with a stack of memorials, not forgetting to compliment Sima Ji.

"This is also called predicting things like gods? It's just to bring others' positions and come up with solutions. I have always found out the enemy's weaknesses to attack, but I have never relied on any kindness to benefit the people. But I can win, and those who can support the country and the country in their eyes lost." Sima Ji shook his head and smiled bitterly, and opened a memorial without panic, and said while reading, "What's the use of good literary talent? I can barely understand it, but the people can't understand it at all. They have such a high moral level, why don't they open up the wisdom of the people? Isn't it more moral to become a moral model?"

"Look, benevolence, righteousness and justice are really beautiful! It's a bit interesting to say that people were originally good at the beginning, or people were originally evil at the beginning, which is interesting." Sima Ji read several memorials in a row, and it was all similar. Confucianism emphasizes that universal moral rights with benevolence, righteousness and justice as the core limits the rights of the emperor.

"This memorial is not bad. Starting with Zhuangzi, the world is not worth rewarding and punishing? This must be a master of metaphysics." Sima Jizi said to himself in a striking manner, Luo Yong and Zhang Bin were waiting on the side, turning a blind eye to this scene.

Both of them knew that once Sima Ji had finished reading these memorials, it was time to make a decision. Sure enough, Sima Ji had finished reading all the things at a glance, and the old god said, "If it was only this level, it would not be difficult to deal with."

"The news is that the Legalists are going to establish a school, and it is also the advice of some of my confidants. I am also hesitating, and a villain appears beside me." Sima Ji smiled at Zhang Bin and said, "First set off the atmosphere for two days. I am not convenient for me to express my opinion during this period. When the time is almost over, it will be time to attack."
