31. The embryonic form of the commercial street, there are many benefits to developing business 4/4
But at this moment, Ying Zheng did not explain further.
Instead, he changed the topic and said.
"Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about Qu Yuan Li and this sugar refining method. How about this, I'll arrange for a group of craftsmen to come over tomorrow and let you train them. Is that a problem?"
When Zhao Xuan heard this, he nodded without thinking and said.
"Sure."
"What problem can there be?"
"Just like what I did just now, these things are very fast to learn. In just a few days, I guarantee that they will all graduate.”
"Alright then…it's a deal?"
Ying Zheng smiled and stretched out his hand.
He was about to settle this matter.
Dun Ruo, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly interrupted the two of them.
"Wait."
"What's wrong, Old Li? Do you have any objections?”Ying Zheng turned around, feeling a little surprised.
Dun Ruo frowned and said in a low voice," It's not an objection. I just feel that Master, we can't rush this learning matter. After all…whether it was the sugar refining method or the curved plow, the benefits involved were enormous. If it was spread outside, it might cause some unnecessary trouble.”
"What you said makes sense. Since that's the case, then you can choose. Choose a group of reliable workers."
"Alright, leave it to me.”
"I guarantee that the manufacturing of the Quyuan Li and the brown sugar will earn a lot of money.”
"This ice treatment method might not sell so well.”
Dunrou felt that it was a pity.
Ying Zheng, who was standing beside him, also nodded after hearing this.
"Yes, although everyone likes the coolness in summer, there are still very few people who can afford ice cubes. Moreover, this ice cube could only cool him down for a short while. It was not very useful.”
Seeing the two of them like this, Zhao Xuan rolled his eyes and said," Are you stupid? Who told you to sell ice cubes? Can't you sell smoothies? Sell some iced watermelons or something."
"I can't afford a large piece of ice, but I can afford a small piece of iced watermelon. You guys just don't have a business mind. In the entire Xianyang, any prosperous area can set up such a stall to sell items like iced watermelons. I guarantee that you will easily earn a lot of money.“
How could modern people's business thinking be compared to the ancients?
Zhao Xuan casually spoke, bringing up things that no one had ever thought of before.
As expected, as soon as these words were spoken, both Ying Zheng and Dunruo were instantly shocked.
They asked in unison.
"You can play like this?"
Zhao Xuan nodded." Of course. This is the charm of business. It's a pity that there's no business street in Daqi now. Otherwise, there would be a special stall every 500 or 1,000 steps in the business street to gather people. At that time, there would be more sales.”
"Commercial street?"
He heard another new term.
Ying Zheng was curious again.
When Zhao Xuan saw this, he continued to explain," Yes, it's a street where all the vendors are gathered together and all of them are under central management. This way, not only can it be convenient for them to do business better, but it can also better promote the development of business.”
Hearing his words, the two of them became even more puzzled. They asked in unison," Why should we promote the development of business?”
"That's right. Merchants don't do production. They only know how to hoard and hoard. The richer you are, the more cunning you are!"
In his words, he was very disdainful of the merchant.
Zhao Xuan was amused when he saw the two of them and reminded them.，
"Uh…Aren't you all businessmen?”
The two of them were stunned.
Only then did he react.
After coughing twice, he said again.
"We…"
"Ahem, we are different…"
"Our main focus is still on managing the clan's affairs. Business…is just a side effect, not the main business.”
"Yes, not the main business."
The two of them added.
He barely managed to cover up his lie.
Zhao Xuan didn't think too much about it. Instead, he sighed and said," Regardless of whether you are a main business or not, in the eyes of outsiders, you are already a typical representative of merchants.”
"However, it's normal for you to have such thoughts.
In this society, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants ranked the lowest. Not to mention others, even they looked down on themselves.
In fact, they did not know that this was actually a big misunderstanding.”
When Zhao Xuan said this, he raised his head, his eyes filled with emotion.
"Misunderstanding?"
And hearing him say that.
Ying Zheng was a little unhappy.
Ever since the incident with Lu Buwei.
From the bottom of his heart, Ying Zheng hated merchants to the extreme.
Therefore, even if Zhao Xuan were to mention this.
He also opened his mouth and instinctively retorted.
"What's there to misunderstand? Do you think that those rich people earn money by relying on their conscience? I still feel that there is no business without treachery.“
Zhao Xuan shook his head and continued to explain," There is no business without evil. Of course, this kind of thinking is correct. The misunderstanding I'm talking about is the misunderstanding of the entire business and even the economy. As for Great Qin's mistakes in its commercial policies.”
"Mistakes in business and policy?”
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, but at this moment, he regained some of his composure and asked again.
"Interesting. Tell me, where did you make the mistake?”
"Old Zhao, have you heard of the story of Yu the Great controlling the flood?" Zhao Xuan asked.
"Yu the Great controlled the flood?"
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows.
Without waiting for a reply.
Zhao Xuan nodded and continued," That's right. Business is like the undercurrent of the world. What the country needs the most is not to block the entrance and prevent it from flowing. You have to know that the more you block it, the easier it is for you to brew a bigger crisis and set off a huge wave like a flood.
What the country should really do was to regulate the business of the entire country.
If the entire country's economic system was used by you, the benefits would be unimaginable. You could even start an economic war and kill the enemy without bloodshed.”
The more Zhao Xuan spoke, the more excited he became.
Not to mention him.
On the other side, Ying Zheng and Dunruo heard that developing the economy could destroy the empire without bloodshed.
His eyes instantly widened.
He asked with a look of disbelief.
"Really? Was there really such a great benefit in making commerce work for the empire?”
