Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 485

Looking at the commotion in front of Zhou Ji's gate, Liu Mingxiu felt an inexplicable and complicated feeling in his heart.He originally thought that the Southwest cloth shop would compete with the Liu family by cutting prices or cutting off the Liu family's cloth supply channel with the dye house.And this is almost all means of suppressing opponents in the business field, Xia Junyan actually...

She actually inspired the academy! !
Scholars and businessmen, these two classes, which should be irrelevant, are brought together because of the word "sincerity".

In addition to educating students, the role of academies also has a very important social responsibility - to educate the public.This is also what the ancient gentleman advocated, "To be successful will benefit the world, and if you are poor, you will be alone." And "prosperity" and "poor" are not only money, but also spiritual.

A controversy over ordinary cloth houses involved the academy.And after several discussions in the academy, the masters also asked the students to sort out what they had gained and then pass it on to ordinary people.

Due to the convenience of the Chamber of Commerce, Yun'an Town immediately organized all the shopkeepers to listen to the lectures given by Qingyun Academy.

"Scholar-bureaucrats don't believe that businessmen really treat people with sincerity, because the pursuit of profit is always the nature of businessmen. Even if it is true, the concept of no second price was first proposed by Ms. Xia Junyan, a big businessman at that time, and brought it into Buzhuang. The scholar-bureaucrats did not let go of their doubts. So they chose to supervise, and the scholar-bureaucrats supervised whether the merchants really kept their promises. It is this kind of move that makes the two classes unexpectedly closely linked. So much so that the scholar-bureaucrats from Yuhuafu could proudly say, 'The whole world says that there are no traitors and no businessmen, but Yuhua businessmen are not like that!'”

Later generations called this "big debate" in the academy the prelude to the classical commercial revolution.And Xia Die, who had instigated this change, was sitting in the last seat of the academy, listening to the speeches of various students with great interest.

"You expected it from the beginning?" Jiang Xiaolian still feels like she is dreaming.

Xia Junyan shook her head honestly: "No. I just created an opportunity and tried to create opportunities and luck as much as possible. I didn't expect to get to this point."

"But it's going to be hard for the Liu family now." After listening to so many debates, Jiang Xiaolian also came up with some ideas.These scholars think that as long as Yu Hua's businessmen can be honest and make their reputation better, maybe they Yu Hua can also produce one or two imperial businessmen.

This is the local feeling, and it is an advantage that the Liu family, an outsider, does not have.

Liu Mingxiu also came to the academy, but looked back frequently.The person sitting in the farthest corner, with a comfortable smile on his face, listened intently to the debate among the students.

This time he lost...

Convinced to lose!It's really nice for such a woman to marry into the Liu family.

"Shopkeeper, look—" Jiang Xiaolian keenly noticed Liu Mingxiu's eyes looking towards them, and couldn't help but gently tugged at Xia Junyan's sleeve, "What does he want to do?" Smiling so...then nice.

Xia Junyan smiled back and moved her lips slightly: "Whatever he thinks, the soldiers will cover up the water and the earth!"
