Chapter 892
"Pure profession?"
Jia Xu and Xun You looked at each other, but neither of them understood what Liu Zhang meant.
"I would also like to invite Qin Gong to inform you."
Liu Zhang caressed his beard lightly and said two words lightly.
"merchant."
"merchant?"
These two words not only did not clear Jia Xu and Xun You's confusion, but made them even more confused.
There is a chamber of commerce in Yizhou, and soon there will be a chamber of commerce in Yongliang area. What else do merchants need to do?
"My lord, since ancient times, we have followed the rules of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are lowly."
"Businessmen value profits and often use unscrupulous means. Duke Qin must not place too much value on businessmen."
Liu Zhang did not agree with Xun You's statement at all.
"Gongda, if merchants are really so contemptible, why does the Yizhou Chamber of Commerce help us so much?"
Xun You was at a loss for words, the example Liu Zhang gave really made him speechless.
Yizhou Chamber of Commerce is different from merchants, but it is essentially merchant-oriented.
It's like an infinitely magnified businessman.
Without the support of the Chamber of Commerce, how could Yizhou be so rich, and how could it be the largest state in the world?
It can be said that Liu Zhang was able to sit firmly in Chang'an City and lay down a large area of land in Yongliang, thanks to the Chamber of Commerce's contribution.
Just one item of food and grass is the highest merit.
"Even so, Duke Qin cannot advocate the way of business."
"If everyone abandons farming and goes into business, there will be no more food output. How can we compete for world hegemony?"
Even if businessmen bring more benefits, it cannot easily change Xun You's view of businessman's cheap business.
Liu Zhang does not blame him for this, it is a cognitive problem of historical limitations.
"Don't worry too much about Gongda. The knowledge of businessmen is not simple, and shopping malls are like battlefields!"
"Maybe at the beginning there will be many people thinking about making a fortune by doing business, but in the end almost 90% of them will be defeated by the facts."
"These people will find that farming is the only way out for them."
Xun You felt very sad. Liu Zhang was right, and he couldn't refute it.
However, the education he received from a young age just couldn't make him approve of the businessman's remarks.
"Wenhe, Gongda, have you discovered that the major surviving princes in the world are all supported by a giant businessman?"
Hearing what Liu Zhang said, Xun You also fell into deep thought.
After much deliberation, it seems that this is really the case.
When Cao Cao raised his troops, Wei Zi assisted him. Even though Wei Zi died, the Wei family was still serving Cao Cao at this time.
Yuan Shao had Wuji Zhen's family to help him. I heard that since Yuan Shao succeeded as Bohai prefect, the Zhen family has been helping him with all his strength.
After being defeated by Cao Cao twice, Yuan Shao was able to rise again, and it is rumored that the Zhen family contributed a lot of money to help.
Liu Bei became more obvious, not only fooled the whole of Xuzhou, but also fooled the wealthy Mi family in Xuzhou.
It is rumored that the Mi family had nearly 10,000 servants and diners, and assets worth hundreds of millions.
Just when Liu Bei took over as Xuzhou Mu, Mi Zhu sponsored three thousand and countless money and food.
For so many years, Liu Bei has fought repeatedly and failed repeatedly, but he has been able to rise again frequently, all thanks to the support of Mi Zhu and the entire Mi family.
But today, the Mo family is no longer what it used to be, and Liu Bei has almost squandered hundreds of millions of assets.
Fortunately, after Liu Bei got the position of the prefect of Nanjun, he let Mizhu return to his old job.
Liu Zhang had already learned that Mizhu had started a deal with the Yizhou Chamber of Commerce at this time.
Not to mention Jiangdong Sun Quan, the four major Jiangdong families, Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang, occupy most of Jiangdong's interests.
It can be said that the Jiangdong family is purely in the eyes of money. Every family is openly operating and crazily amassing money.
"Qin Gong, our state of Qin has developed to this day, and we have the support of the chamber of commerce. We no longer need the support of wealthy businessmen."
"Merchants have both advantages and disadvantages. For example, the Jiangdong Sun family relies too much on the Jiangdong family, and as a result is frequently controlled by the Jiangdong family."
"The veteran heard that in order to quell the war, Sun Quan had to make concessions to the aristocratic family many times, so that Jiangdong really became everyone's Jiangdong..."
Jia Xu has been in charge of Yizhou Biejia before, and he is very concerned about the affairs of Jingzhou and Yangzhou.
Through mutual trade, we can also learn more about Jingzhou and Yangzhou.
Hearing that Jia Xu mentioned Jiangdong, Liu Zhang couldn't help being interested.
"Wen He, how is this boy Sun Quan? How is the civil strife calming down?"
The corner of Jia Xu's mouth raised a strange arc, this smile has a deep meaning.
"Sun Ce's crimes are too deep, how can Sun Quan quickly put them down?"
"Li Shu, the prefect of Lujiang, rebelled openly. Sun Fu, the prefect of Luling in the clan, cooperated with the enemy. Sun Hao attempted to seize power. Sun Yi, the prefect of Danyang, and Sun He, an important official of the clan, were killed. Tens of thousands of Shanyue in Yuzhang, Kuaiji and other places also waited for opportunities to rebel."
Liu Zhang was secretly surprised. He knew that Jiangdong would be in chaos, but he didn't expect the situation in Jiangdong to be so chaotic!
However, thinking that Sun Quan, who is only 20 years old so far, will be able to quell such a complicated civil strife in another year, Liu Zhang also has to praise him in his heart.
"Sun Zhongmou is not as brave as Sun Jian and Sun Ce, but his brains are much better than his father and brother."
"Sun Jian, Sun Ce has a murderous temperament, no different from a butcher. Sun Quan will wipe their ass for their crimes."
Jia Xu also recognized Liu Zhang's evaluation of the Sun family very much.
"What Qin Gong said is very true! Sun Zhongmou is good at maintaining the relationship between the family and their Sun family. It was only at the expense of their interests that the Jiangdong family did not abandon them."
"On the other hand, his brother Sun Ce always thinks that killing can solve everything, but he doesn't know that evil can't be eliminated, only hatred can be accumulated!"
Liu Zhang couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, it seemed that Jia Xu's words meant something.
"Is Wenhe talking about Xianbei?"
Jia Xu sighed softly, confirming Liu Zhang's question.
"That's right, after going through this catastrophe, Budugen may become our formidable enemy in the future."
"There are also the Xiongnu in Hetao. The old minister heard that Liu Bao, the wise king of the left, likes our Han people's art of war."
"Pang Junshi's complete victory over him this time must have touched him a lot. If you become an enemy of him in the future, you must be careful."
Liu Zhang fully agrees with Jia Xu's reminder, he has never underestimated Liu Bao and Bu Dugen.
And for the common people of the world, Liu Zhang will try his best to reduce these nomadic peoples in his lifetime.
"Wenhe, don't worry, as long as there is a chance, none of these alien races will be able to escape!"
As soon as the words fell, Liu Zhang slapped his forehead suddenly.
"Hey, the topic is getting too far, isn't it about businessmen?"
"Currently, the chamber of commerce still has many imperfections, including doing business with the Western Regions in the future, and trading war horses with Dawan, all of which need to be completed by merchants."
"If there is a very pure businessman to help us, we will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort!"
It turned out that Liu Zhang meant this!
Xun You and Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They thought Liu Zhang wanted to encourage businessmen.
But then the two became worried again.
It is true that there are 8 million people under the rule of the Qin State, but where can you find a naked businessman?
At this moment, a guard outside the hall came up to Liu Zhang and bowed his hands in worship.
"I report to Duke Qin that someone who claims to be the envoy of Yuan Shao is asking to see him."
