Eight Young Masters of Yang Family Generals

After Yang Yanrong finished speaking, he took a deep breath!Yu Chu looked at him with tears in his eyes, but a flowery smile bloomed on his face, he held Yang Yanrong's arm tightly, and proudly held his head high.At this moment, Sang Yuchu is undoubtedly the most beautiful one here!

Shangguan Xiangyun, who originally looked down on him, looked jealously at Yu Chu, who was as famous as her, bit his lips tightly, and looked at Yang Yanrong, who was full of sadness and helplessness, and felt that the sadness in his eyes seemed to be in the depths of his heart. It was as if it pierced deeply into her heart, making people palpitate. Suddenly, she had a desire to embrace Yang Yanrong in her arms, to comfort this man who seemed to be full of thoughts!Shangguan Xiangyun suddenly shuddered all over, he didn't understand why he had such an idea, shouldn't he hate him?Why do you feel sorry for him?Well, I must have drunk too much wine just now, and my mind is a little confused, well, it must be!

Clap clap!Shangguan Peng clapped his hands with a smile on his face, and then the whole hall burst into thunderous applause.

Needless to say, Ji Xiaoruo lost, not so much that she lost against this businessman who she thought smelled like copper, but rather, she lost against all the laborers in the world.

Although Shangguanpeng is the leader of the Green Forest Road, the so-called "thieves have their own way", he will not do things that look down on people. In the early years, Shangguanpeng was a fisherman in this Taihu Lake!It was only later by chance that he learned a powerful martial arts.When he was a fisherman, he was often bullied by local ruffians and bullies. Since he didn't have the capital to fight, he could only dare not speak out.Later, he united the fishermen, contacted people with lofty ideals in the rivers and lakes, formed the Taihu Gang, and became a well-known figure on the Green Forest Road in the southern seven provinces.

Although these years he has a high position and authority, and his influence in the martial arts is growing day by day, but he still goes down to Taihu Lake from time to time to shop fish and sell them in the market. Of course, this is not for money, but because of his childhood habits.Shangguan Peng is a righteous man, all his friends are good men, and he will never do things that bully the common people. Therefore, in the seven provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, it is rare to hear that the common people are bullied by the green forest heroes.Shangguanpeng also strictly restrained his subordinates, which made him more and more popular not only among the people, but also in the martial arts.That's why this time he celebrates his fiftieth birthday, no matter whether it's black or white, or the nearby gentry and rich Jia also came to join him.

Ji Xiaoruo's eyes were red, and she stared at this annoying man in front of her in a daze. Every word he said seemed to shock people's hearts and souls, making herself unable to refute!Am I wrong?

Yang Yanrong waved his hand, and all the applause in the hall suddenly fell silent. He smiled slightly and said: "It is only natural for businessmen to pursue profits. If businessmen have nothing to gain, who do you think can still be on the street?" You can buy beautiful clothes, and you can go to restaurants to eat delicious food when you are hungry? Which of the skirts, eyes, hairpins, and scarves on your body are not provided by merchants? If there is no business in the country, where will the tax come from? ? Who will support the millions of troops? When the barbarians invade, who will resist? Is it possible to let the unarmed common people go to the battlefield to fight their lives? Miss Ji, you haven’t figured out the most basic truths!”

"I……"

"You don't need to say anything, listen to me: every group has good people and bad people. Of course there are profiteers, don't you know the word 'Warriors are ordinary people, literati are scum'?" It’s a taboo, Confucianism uses literature to confuse the law’. Some people have said this truth as early as the pre-Qin period! It’s just that you haven’t read the book yet.” Yang Yanrong talked eloquently, and made this Fairy Ji speechless. There was even more silence in the middle, waiting for Yang Yanrong to continue talking.

Although his words are reasonable, for these warriors, they can't find any loopholes at all. They are behind thousands of years of knowledge, and these people have never understood what their society is like. How it was, how it is now.

"Officials, farmers, industry, merchants, why does business rank last? I have to say, Fairy Ji, you asked a very good question, which shows that you are already thinking about the basic structure of this society. Very well, people just have to constantly Officials, of course, are scholars, while farmers are farmers, workers, workers, workers, and businessmen. This society is mainly composed of these four groups of people. They do not work concurrently. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and different townships and states are different. Therefore, farmers and farmers speak powerfully, scholars speak and act with scholars, workers speak skillfully with workers, and businessmen talk about numbers. These four peoples can’t lack any one of them. Since ancient times For a long time, the people were managed by the bureaucrats, the farmers provided food for all, the workers built houses for the people to live in, and the merchants brought products from all over the country to all parts of the country so that people could buy what they needed. This simple Reason, Miss Ji should understand, right?"

"I... hum..."

Yang Yanrong continued: "The current science and technology are not yet developed, and the productivity is extremely low, so the food output is not high and cannot feed a larger population. Under the condition that the self-sufficient natural economy occupies the main position, it is difficult for businessmen to Get a higher status. When one day, science and technology develops, productivity increases, and grain output increases several times, what to do with the surplus grain? This makes the number of farmers have to be reduced. The food grown by a few or even dozens of farmers can provide thousands of people. What about the people who are freed from the land? What do they do? It is obviously unrealistic for farmers to be officials, they can only go to Work and go into business. This will inevitably lead to the development of commerce. The development of commerce will provide more taxes for the country. In the end, even farmers’ land tax and head tax will be exempt. At that time, the development of the country will be With the development of commerce, a commercial society will gradually take shape, and the commodity economy is the mainstream of this society. The status of merchants will gradually increase.”

"That's impossible!" Fairy Ji exclaimed, "How can food increase exponentially? How can a few or dozens of farmers feed thousands of people?"

Yang Yanrong waved his hands, smiled coldly, and said: "Nothing is impossible, it's just because you have little knowledge and short-sightedness, society is developing, science is improving, people in the future can travel without walking, and can travel thousands of miles a day by plane , It takes less than an hour to get there from Kaifeng to Hangzhou, and you can talk to people thousands of miles away. You can fly directly to the moon from here, believe it or not?"
