Chapter 526: Discussing Business

“…”

Li Chenan looked at Wang Zhenghaoxuan. How many dogs had this kid bitten by this last life!

Su Yian and Liu Xiayin were also shocked, but saw the young man laughing and said:

"It's pretty fat... Where is your pot?"

...

...

A bonfire was lit in the small yard of the backyard of Sanwei Bookstore.

An iron pot was hung on the bonfire.

Wang Zhenghaoxuan had already put it in the iron pot and took care of the dog.

Su Yian swallowed, and did not forget the serious business. He looked at Li Chenan again: "Regent, how can we increase their income if we don't let farmers do business?"

"Capital is always profit-seeking!"

Li Chenan also withdrew his gaze, looked at the two of them, and said:

"Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are the class concepts that have gradually formed under Confucianism over the past thousand years."

“The businessman has the lowest status.”

"In society, businessmen are looked down upon by almost everyone, but many people actually envy those businessmen in their hearts."

"why is that?"

"Because the merchant has money!"

"Although the merchants have a low status, they live in the best houses, wear the best clothes, and eat the best meals!"

"Let's look at it carefully. Most of the scholars in the world are children of businessmen."

"Why? As Mr. Su said, studying is expensive! The farmers with high status do not have the money to let their children study, which leads to the farmers always being farmers, and even their descendants are farmers!"

"But businessmen are different. Their children receive the best education. Their children are successful in their studies. If they become officials in the court, they will become scholars!"

"A businessman with a scholar at home is no longer a pure merchant, and he becomes a noble family!"

"For example, you Su family!"

"Su started out as a businessman and accumulated a lot of wealth, while also cultivating many talented children."

"The Su family has produced many officials, which has made the Su family become a century-old family in Jiangnan, and thus entered the ranks of the wealthy families of Ningguo."

"So, in your opinion, is it wrong to pursue that stinky smell?"

Su Yian was stunned. He was not a businessman himself, he was a great scholar in Ningguo!

But after hearing Li Chenan's words, he suddenly understood a problem-

If it weren't for the money from the Su family in Jiangnan, if the Su family was a farmer, would he be able to read so many books without any worries?

This is simply impossible!

Not only can I open the Sanwei Bookstore school here, the life I live should be facing the loess and facing the sky day after day!

That pursuit of money stinking...this seems to be nothing wrong.

"If you think this is not wrong, then the country will relax business, boost business, give businessmen confidence, and gradually change the low status of businessmen, so that they can make money by doing business boldly, openly and law-abidingly!"

Su Yian was speechless.

Liu Xiayin's heart was shocked-

He could not argue, because the Regent's analysis was correct!

The farmers worked hard to serve the land, but weren’t they the same for the two taels of broken silver?

They are also seeking the most profit, but their interests can only be produced from the fields, which becomes insignificant and cannot be compared with the benefits obtained by merchants.

They are all pursuing profits, so it is unreasonable to suppress businessmen to pursue profits!

He knew that a huge change in Ningguo was coming!

This is not just a change in the social class. If the court seriously implements the regent's view on governing the country, the entire Ningguo will be swept by this huge wave.

Those who can adapt to this view and seize this opportunity keenly will stand on the top of the wave!

And those who have stale thoughts... will be swallowed up in an instant by this wave.

"If all children in the world can receive fair education, there are only two things."

Li Chenan spoke again, and the two of them immediately restrained their minds and listened carefully.

"First, everyone is rich, especially the farmers with the largest number of people are rich, and they are not stupid. Of course, they will let their children go to school and enter the government!"

"Secondly, the world is rich, this is a scam and a harm..."

Li Chenan did not explain this sentence, and he said again:

"How can we help children who still can't afford to study go to school?"

"This requires the country to be rich!"

"Only when the country is rich can you have money to start a charity school, so that children from families who are still poor can study in charity school... don't have money!"

"The current taxes in the country mainly come from agricultural taxes."

"It's not because of how high the output value of agriculture can be, but because the most people farm!

"The most poor farmers bear a lot of taxes in a country. In fact, this tax is not much. Once a war occurs, the court will inevitably increase the taxes, and it will be added to the farmers, making their lives worse."

"But if business develops, merchants earn more money and change the subject of national taxes from farmers to merchants..."

Li Chenan looked at the two of them, and they showed an expression of shock again.

This is another huge change that exceeded their imagination!

The success of this change depends on whether the merchants can earn more money to bear the tax transferred to them.

If successful, the agricultural tax that has existed for thousands of years may be greatly reduced, and farmers' harvests from the fields will naturally increase.

But how can we ensure that businessmen can earn more money?

This is the method of revitalizing industry and commerce proposed by the Regent!

It turns out that he had already had a mature idea since he became the Regent, which is an unprecedented great creation!

No wonder Hua Lao Daru said that the officials in the court were all his followers.

No wonder Hua Lao Daru said that he might be the light of hope for Ningguo.

Perhaps the reason why the word "is used" is whether this change can be achieved smoothly.

Su Yian certainly knew the difficulty, but it was precisely because of its difficulty that it was like a plum blossom with bitter cold and a pine tree with proud snow..., Ningguo jumped and flew away, brilliant and beautiful.

If you lose..., if the country is not a country, all pioneers will be recorded in history and become sinners of history.

Will it fail?

In Su Yian's view, only Li Chenan controls the rudder of Ningguo's ship will not fail.

Because only he knows what kind of other side this ship is going to.

No wonder Hua Manting said that he must be the Emperor of Ningguo!

Just as Su Yian was thinking about this, Li Chenan spoke again:

"Just deducting the taxes of farmers alone is still not enough to allow them to have the ability to resist risks... and they also need to increase their wealth while merchants gain benefits."

“How do you need to do this?”

"This requires great development in handicrafts!"

"If merchants want to improve product production efficiency, they must expand the scale of improving equipment, and their workshops require a large number of workers!"

"When farming equipment has made great progress, farming does not require so many people!"

"Some farmers can go to the fields and go to the merchant's workshop to earn money."

"They will kill two birds with one stone."

"As for how to do it... Mr. Su, if you go to Kyoto and chat with Wen Zhuoyu, you will know."

"Let's eat dog meat first."

Xiao Baozi looked up at the night sky, and he was almost there.

How much money has this wasted?

Xiao Baozi's heart hurts very much.

Hurry up and go back to the inn after eating dog meat!
