3957 Inhibit commerce
Weng Tonghe grew up and he could no longer understand the realm of the little emperor. He not only couldn't understand the new world he showed, but also vaguely the scene he feared the most!
Confucianism suppresses business. Why does Confucianism suppress business? Many people only talk about the superficial things without pointing out the key points!
Xiao Letian, who was far away in Borneo, received an urgent telegram from Cai Bixia four hours later. After reading it, he smiled bitterly, "This old man! He is still the same, he changes the soup but not the medicine. I thought he had been traveling with me for several months and learned a lot..."
"It seems that he hasn't learned any fur at all!"
The head of state for dinner invited his father-in-law, the King of Far East, and the King of Seclusion Shi Dakai... And the apprentices like Xiang Ying could only drink on the small table next to him today, eating and drinking with Lin Zhen, Jin Sanshun and others from the Navy, while paying attention to the wine glasses on the Chairman.
Once the apprentice is empty, you must serve him immediately. When the food is broken, people must prepare to change it when it is warm and cold!
When a disciple does these things, he will naturally not complain, and he will even rush to do it, because the closer he is to the head of state, the more you can hear some practical things!
Xiao Letian put down the telegram and signaled Xiang Ying to pour himself a glass of wine. "This old man is actually more conservative than Prince Gong. The purpose of the Japanese Six is to ensure the rights of the Eight Banners nobles. Once you encounter setbacks, for example, today... you can see, the Japanese Six must adjust their strategy!"
"Yi? I won't easily launch the historical stage. Zai Chun just won one game!"
"Yi? Once the strategy is adjusted, he might start negotiations with capital forces. He is very terrible and knows how to adapt!"
"The old man and other scholars are truly conservatives. They are so stupid about reading! They are full of saints' ways to govern the world, and they always want to return to the so-called prosperous times in the past!"
"In fact, what is the prosperous era in ancient times called it a prosperous era? That is just the prosperous era of landlords, and it has nothing to do with other classes!"
"From ancient times to the present, China has suppressed merchants...wrong and wrong...not from ancient times to the present, but after Confucianism occupied the dominant position, the power of merchants has never risen again!"
"Why does Confucianism hate businessmen so much? Who can tell me?" Xiao Letian looked at the small table.
After Xiang Ying poured wine for his master, he poured a glass of his uncle Xiang Shaolong, the King of Far East, put down the wine pot and said, "Confucianism has always regarded merchants as a cheap business! They say that they are profit-oriented and are only loyal to money and have no benevolence, righteousness and morality!"
"Confucianism has mastered the right to speak in society since the Han Dynasty and controlled public opinion... Long-term propaganda has caused the entire society to be prejudice against merchants, and this old man is actually the heir to the old ideas!"
Jin Sanshun, who was gnawing on chicken legs, put down the food and spoke, "That's right! They not only spread prejudice in public opinion, but also used this prejudice to influence the king's governance. One by one, policies to suppress businessmen were introduced, and China's business environment naturally deteriorated!"
The Navy is worthy of being a high-knowledge-based military service, and its basic knowledge reserves are much higher than those of the Army. Even Lin Zhen, who has just recovered from injuries, has a hot gunman and cannon leader, has some knowledge about politics and economy!
"There is also talents! Due to Confucianism's continuous public opinion suppression, and policy bias... businessmen are not valued, and as a result, more talents are allowed to escape this industry!"
"If the entire businessman class cannot be supplemented by continuous outstanding talents, he will not be able to produce a real master! He is just that kind of theorist!"
"This is terrible. If there is no thinker or theorist in an industry... then they will have no right to speak. The elites have all gone to the Confucian scholar class of scholars, so they will let them knead!"
"There are no excellent talents, and the rest are some smart and delicate ghosts. The careful calculations of these people in the business process have further aggravated the prejudice of the people. The hat of being unkind is getting bigger and bigger!"
Xiao Letian nodded, "You are right! But let me ask you again, why does this phenomenon occur? Why did Confucianism defeat business path?"
"This is a thousand years of suppression! It's not a hundred or two years. There must be a reason for such a long period of suppression! How did they succeed? How could the old man and others step on the businessman to death forever?"
Now everyone didn't know how to answer. After a moment of silence, my father-in-law Fan Jian spoke, "To put it bluntly, it's better to use Confucian scholars! For the emperor, Confucian scholars are more obedient and more ruling!"
"And the merchants... are too profit-seeking and have too low loyalty... I won't say it's far away. It means that in the late Qing Dynasty, many of the Shanxi merchants were eating the Ming Dynasty's food, but secretly doing business with Manren!"
"I heard from the elderly in the family that in the late Ming Dynasty, Shanxi merchants smuggled into the Dajin Dynasty, and all the materials that were unproductive in the world had to be provided by these merchants!"
"Even the arms are dared to sell! Including our Fan family... In fact, our ancestors also had these smuggling activities. Otherwise, why did Emperor Shunzhi entertain the heroes of Shanxi merchants after the Qing army entered the pass?"
"My ancestor of the Fan family was once received by Emperor Shunzhi!"
"Businessman! Loyalty is still too low..."
Smack sex... Xiao Letian applauded his father-in-law. "My father is right...but the height is still a little worse!"
"Forget it, I won't keep it a secret! In fact, the answer to this question is very simple, just in one sentence... because Confucianism is the most suitable for farming civilization!"
"After all, China's developed agricultural civilization chose Confucianism, and the continued war in the West did not have a unified empire. In addition, Shanghai's coastline was messy and the country was in a state of no land... so they could only develop business!"
"It is the joint action of the natural environment and the human environment, which makes different historical choices!"
"Jin Sanshun, you all come from Ryukyu. The ancient Ryukyu country recognized the Central Plains as the country of clothing! They also recognized Confucianism as a classic, but why is Ryukyu so developed? Why can't the policy of suppressing commerce be implemented?"
Jin Sanshun's chicken legs fell on the plate, "Suppress? What a joke, Ryukyu is just a string of islands, and the poor people all rely on merchants to buy some food from overseas and live a life!"
"How can it be turned into food, iron tools, tools, books without merchants, pearls, tortoiseshells, corals, sugar in Ryukyu?"
"Yes! This is the impact of the environment! But this is not the case in the Central Plains. The Central Plains continent has land that is very suitable for the development of agricultural civilization. People can live a good life by farming... Of course, it was relatively in ancient times!"
Xiao Letian turned his head and looked at the north, "But such a good life is not long!"
