Chapter 1266: Trading Jiangshan with Money
"Thank you, Princess."
Nangong Shouzhong and others respectfully expressed their gratitude, and sat back one by one.
They said they were sitting, but they were still very reserved and dared to use half of their butts to dip them on the chair. Although the small table in front of them was decorated with delicious dishes produced by the imperial kitchen, no matter how color, fragrance or taste it was, it must be.
Excellent and excellent, but no one has focused on these foods.
They knew that the Crown Princess must be scolded.
Sure enough, after they all sat down, Su Jinpa continued: "Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have always been the cheapest merchants, second only to slaves."
The first sentence of Su Jinpa's opening remark made the rich people present look like dirt.
But then, Su Jinpa said: "Actually, this sentence is biased."
"Businessmen are profit-seeking, although they are profit-oriented, they must admit that if a country and society have no business group, they are incomplete and even impossible to establish."
"The four major classes of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce all have their own meanings, and are indispensable for a complete country and society."
"Take the most common silk weaving as an example. Merchants pay for money and hire peasant women to raise silkworms. The private peasant women can also raise them by themselves. After drawing silk, the merchants will purchase them. In this way, the merchants support the first batch of people, the peasant women who raise silkworms can raise silkworms.
.”
"After purchasing silk, the merchants had to hire workers to process the silk weaving, so the merchants supported the second batch of people, the processing workers."
"After the silk quilt is processed, the merchant still needs to find someone to weave, so the merchant feeds the third group of people, the weaver."
"Silk becomes silk, and after dyeing, the merchants support the fourth group of people and dyeing workshops."
"This brocade came out and the merchants brought it to the market for sale, so that the people of Daqin can wear gorgeous clothes, show the demeanor of a great country, and show the prosperity of people's livelihood."
"This is just an industry. Others go to the fields to purchase fruits and grains, and then transport them to bustling towns for sale. Although the prices of farmers have been lowered, the merchants have successfully avoided a large amount of fruits, and the grains are rotten in the fields.
If there is no businessman centralized procurement, it means that ordinary people find farmers’ fields to buy at market prices. How many can they buy?”
"So the merchants lowered the price, carried out centralized procurement and then transported it to other areas for sale. Although it seemed to be bullying farmers, the facts were just the opposite. It was precisely because of the existence of merchants that farmers dared to grow crops on a large scale, because farmers were unable to grow crops on a large scale.
Don’t worry about not being able to sell it. There are always merchants who are willing to bid for acquisitions, bear cost risks and transportation, and lose risks to gain greater profits.”
Speaking of this, Su Jinpa's phoenix eyes swept over the excited rich people present and said lightly: "Businessmen benefit the world, provide people with what they want, buy stones from the south mountain to fill the valleys of the North Sea,
Use money to trade the country.”
Finally, Su Jinpa ended with a famous sentence from Shen Wansanji.
This sentence is actually Shen Wansan's unintentional words after summarizing the nature and experience of the merchants. However, it is precisely because of this statement that should have been regarded as the Bible by merchants all over the world, but Shen Wansan personally gave it to Emperor Taizu to slaughter his whole family.
a knife.
Use money to trade the country.
