Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 407: Reject

"Boss Cao is afraid of misunderstanding. My Li family is no longer the home of merchants. There are a few shops in the house, and servants are taking care of them. Neither the prince nor his family are directly involved. As for Boss Cao, you said to enhance the status of merchants and change the impression of merchants in the eyes of everyone. This is such a major and sacred task that I can't afford! Boss Cao, you still have to be smart!"

In the hall of Li Mansion.

Li Zexuan lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and refused.

This Cao Wendong only paid a mere thousands of dollars, and wanted him Li Zexuan to lead the group of businessmen to "make a revolution." It was really whimsical. To tell the truth, Li Zexuan responded with sympathy for the unfair treatment received by the businessman, but only sympathy, and he was reluctant to do it if he was asked to be the leader of the businessman and do things.

First, it’s not worth it. To break the class division system that has existed for thousands of years, which has existed for scholars, farmers, workers, and business, it will cost too much, and it’s not good for him. You must know that he is now in " The class of "shi", who can be regarded as the vested interests of this class division, how could it be possible that because of Cao Wendong's words, the blood rushed to give the merchants their heads? He is not an impulsive boy with no brains.

Secondly, he doesn't want to do this now. At the moment, his main task is to improve his Yanhuang Academy. He is not interested in these irrelevant things. So why do you still want to do something that is not good for him and he is not interested?

Can't he just listen to what Cao Wendong said before "raising his hands", right? Totally impossible!

When Cao Wendong heard the words, his arms shook sharply, and his expression quickly dimmed. He gave Li Zexuan a wry smile and said, "It seems that Cao was abrupt. I hope that Lord Cao will forgive him. Say goodbye!"

"Hold on!"

Li Zexuan reached out:

"Although I cannot come forward to organize the establishment of a chamber of commerce, cooperation is still possible. If Boss Cao has any feasible cooperation plan, I can go to the workshop to talk to Bo Fu and Ma Zhou. Also, I am right. Businessmen are not prejudiced. On the contrary, I think that if Datang wants to make progress and the people under the world want to live a happier life, it is absolutely inseparable from businessmen. I think Boss Cao is a person with ideas, although I cannot personally participate in what you said. Chamber of Commerce, but I am very happy to give some support within my capacity!"

These words are what Li Zexuan said from the bottom of his heart,

In history, people’s views on merchants can be said to be the most unruly in the world. The low status of merchants is also the result of thousands of years of stigma.

Why stigmatize businessmen

Perhaps many people will think of the policy of "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business" in the past dynasties, but first of all, we must understand that the business referred to by "suppressing business" is civil business and not official business. Under the pretext of high-sounding excuses, there is actually a monopoly Heart

Therefore, "Treat clothes and suppress business" is an extremely false slogan, just like the modern "purify the network ring and establish a new style of civilization", it is a slogan of a person in power who is righteous and scolds his mother, like a thousand years Later, a funny expert who only interpreted it literally, believed that "Internet Action" has protected the people's physical and mental health, and you will laugh out loud.

Unfortunately, history is not written by businessmen after all. In order to maintain market advantage and prevent disclosure of business secrets, businessmen are unwilling to write books and spread their thoughts and experiences. This is it

The propaganda advantage given to those in power can stand on the highest point of morality, arbitrarily distort the role of businessmen, and stigmatize the other party to gain a dominant position in public opinion. As a result, most people actually believed it for so many years.

But in fact, the role of businessmen in promoting social progress is unquestionable. The greatness of businessmen cannot be overemphasized; the so-called "businessmen do not create value" is the biggest prejudice. Businessmen create value, but labor is not necessarily;

Businessmen are the first driving force of social progress. Businessmen bring vitality to society, promote freedom, fairness and democracy; businessmen invent and maintain business systems and logistics networks, and promote the exchange of ideas, people, and culture. For example, in the late Xia Dynasty, merchants in West Asia introduced wheat, bronze, and mathematics to China;

The glorious achievements of human civilization, such as science, technology, legal system, and art, are all by-products of the commercial system; history is politically oriented and incomplete, and only from a business perspective can history be restored to its true colors.

So, from the perspective of social progress, Li Zexuan is still very willing to see the merchant's status improve a bit, and Datang's business will be more prosperous, but if he is allowed to be the vanguard of the "revolution", then forget it! You can say that he is cold-blooded and ruthless, but he has someone he needs to guard, and he will not take risks for something less relevant.

"That's great! So, Cao would like to thank Sir Alex for his assistance and guidance!"

Cao Wendong thanked him excitedly.

Although this result is still a certain distance from the ideal, it is better than nothing. At least he has some hope!

"Hehe! Boss Cao walk slowly!"

"Father, Xiang Gong, you guys try this deep-fried chicken ball, how about it?"

Noon.

The family gathered around a table and ate lunch warmly, but the dishes on the table today were obviously different from before~ IndoMTL.com~ Li Zexuan smelled it, definitely not the chef at home, Aunt Zhao It's not like the old lady did.

"Yes! Master, Xuan'er, this lunch today was all made by Yu Xi alone. It took a lot of effort!"

Ms. Li squinted her eyes, glanced at her daughter-in-law, and laughed.

"Huh? Isn't there a cook at home? Yuxi, why did you cook by yourself?"

Papa Li frowned and asked, he thought it was a bad job for the next person!

"Father, my daughter-in-law is just trying to give her a lot of thought. It’s not about Aunt Zhao’s business. Father, please try to see if it is delicious? Xianggong, you should also try. There are several dishes in this are based on concubine’s body. The chicken, braised pork, and lion's head that you ate before are derived from the deliberation of the dishes, please see if it suits your appetite!"

Han Yuxi Qiao smiled sweetly and gave Li Zexuan a chopstick dish and said.

Li Zexuan looked at the golden and tender chicken meatballs in the bowl, the size of a pigeon egg, and three or two chopped green onions on the outside. It was a little surprised. Isn’t this similar to the modern salted chicken? ? Still a high-end version of salted chicken!

If Han Yuxi hadn't said that she had imitated the dishes she had invented before, Li Zexuan would have thought that his wife had also crossed over.

A tortoise, my wife’s learning ability is against the sky! Will follow the analogy based on the existing dishes, really a genius!

"Just looking at this dish makes people very appetizing, um, let me try it!"

Li Zexuan smiled, then pinched a muscle and fed it into his mouth. His mouth was fragrant. He gave a thumbs up and said, "Yeah! It's delicious! It's so delicious! Maid, thank you for it. You married home, or our Zuixianlou must be at a loss now!"
