There is one thing about China's social form that is not suitable for economic development, that is, the problem of its unlimited responsibility, and the problem of not separating family property from family property.

The most important thing that the bureaucrats of this era dealt with and liked to deal with the most was the lawsuits over property.

It's all a family, yours is everyone's, and everyone's can be divided equally.

Therefore, after Qian Qianyi's death, the property he had embezzled and seized all his life was targeted by the so-called clansmen, and it was almost impossible to defend it with his life.

If this goes on for a long time, wealth cannot be accumulated, and talents cannot be protected, how can it be a garbled word?

Similarly, the distinction between limited and unlimited liability limits the issue of wealth creation to a large extent.

For example, Dong Xiaowan, a movie star who was already well-known in the imperial capital at this time, was a victim of this immature company system.

If it is a limited liability company, then the company will be finished, and there must be some savings on hand, but under the calculation of various false accounts, Dong Xiaowan, who was forced to repay his debts, finally ended up in the Qinglou for a living, and the disadvantages lie in this.

If the property rights are not clear, how can you do business?

Limited liability is limited liability for repayment, which means that the investor only bears the responsibility for repaying the debts of the enterprise with the capital invested in the enterprise, and if it is insolvent, the excess part of the liability is naturally exempted, and the limited liability is an important factor in the rise of large companies, while the owners of the partnership and individual ownership systems generally need to bear unlimited liability for the debts.

With clear property rights, talents have the motivation to do business, and only then do they have the motivation to develop technology, promote distribution programs, and create their own personal brands.

In this regard, the elders were under great pressure to help many people protect their property, and naturally offended the gossip of many rich people who tried to seize the property of their clansmen, as well as the Confucian scholars who were raised behind them.

Can be used as the target of the seized property, basically the orphans and widows are the same vulnerable groups, can give the support to the elders, absolutely not as good as those like wolves and tigers, as soon as they go out, a large group of people with hoes and rakes to go out to kill people and destroy the role of households, basically, if a man dies, the widow he leaves behind will either be detained in the ancestral house as a living dead for a lifetime, or directly sold Chen Tang, anyway, the property under his hands will be in the name of the clan property, help supervise, which means that when your son grows up, he will return you.

This is basically the same as the New Year's money of the elders of later generations, Dad helps you save the New Year's money, and as for growing up, he naturally has to calculate with you how much money he has spent on you over the years.

Similarly, when those children grow up, if they want to calculate it, they will encounter continuous special skills in traditional China: the New Year, everyone is dead, they are coming, it is not easy, they are still children, they are older, for your good, just get used to it, anyway, if you are slightly opposed, there is always one that can prove that you are not filial!

Of course, in theory, this has also created some orphans and widows to completely join the presbyterian church to do things, people's hearts, who doesn't know what the so-called clan is about, at the beginning they still walked to protect the interests of the family, and the number of people is not bullied, but after a long time, the patriarch above has more power, so it is more planned for himself.

Of course, Yan Xixi was full of hope, and the Elder Council's behavior of not advancing with oil and salt almost drove them crazy.

So a huge amount of resources and goods were given to the original small merchants, or the previous mud legs, and in the past countless times according to the old rules, they all hit a wall.

Sometimes, hire some scoundrels, go to a store that is favored to smash and rob, or say that you are injured by what your family sells, sick, and ask for money, as long as there are many people, even the Ming messenger can't manage it, not to mention that the people are also the masters of the fat distribution on the ground.

Relying on this trick, the big businessman swallows up the small businessman, or the new formula and process produced by a genius craftsman, almost no one can stop it, and in this case, the reward of hard research and technology is not as good as the return of colluding with county officials to kill people, what do you say the technology will rot in the end.

Compared with Nobel, who became a huge rich man with a few patents, the gap is not the difference in money, but the distance between heaven and earth, life and death.

Yan Xixi can be regarded as a person who knows a lot about the rule of elders.

Before raiding the eight imperial merchants, they completely uprooted these eight imperial merchants, and the special forces even managed to arrest the children of the eight imperial merchants who were hiding in the territory of the Borzigit clan.

In the end, the Eight Emperor Merchants were basically uprooted, and the chickens and dogs were not left, after all, the crime was too serious.

Of course, this also frightened the other Jin merchants and ran home overnight.

Yan Xixi felt a little different in that process, these elders are really black, no matter how the eight imperial merchants pleaded, the money was confiscated, not to mention, the person was an execution without leaving behind, after all, even if it was a child, he also learned to manage the family's accounts, and almost all of them were accomplices.

And treason...... In the Ming Dynasty, it was naturally something that could be done but not said.

In that process, the Shanxi Hall suffered a catastrophe, and the Ming merchants, as long as they were merchants, did not do something illegal, but in the Ming Dynasty, it was reasonable, and the silver was over.

But the elders who don't pay attention to it at all don't care about this, for the sluggish, rotten, incompetent and greedy Ming ruling class, the butcher's knife must be shown, but it can't be killed indiscriminately, and it can't be killed indiscriminately.

Yan Xixi stored some medicinal materials in the Shanxi Hall at that time, and they were all good things with good things to strengthen the body, nourish the kidneys and strengthen the yang, the original idea, the new wealth, must be to eat a lot of fun, take revenge on the society, and always make a sum of money.

However, the elders know that there are too many rumors that the so-called Chinese medicine treats the symptoms and cures the root cause, and Western medicine does not cure the root cause, and there are too many so-called various bizarre home remedies.

In fact, there is no distinction between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, only between modern medicine and classical medicine, and the bloodletting therapy of European and American medicine is also very strange, but after all, people have slowly embarked on their own path of modernization.

It is conceivable that the elders themselves have a very stable control over women after controlling the imperial capital for hygiene and aesthetic problems, at most they have adopted a lot of small palace maids in the court, and few of them will be very flooded, so they almost smashed those rare drugs in their hands.

That batch of drugs happened to be in the Shanxi Guild Hall, and it was naturally confiscated at that time, and Yan Xixi didn't care about these things outside his body.

It didn't take long after that he was told that he could leave, and that he would return it in batches, and even those clerks were in a posture of not bothering me if I got something and got out of here, and I would beat you up.

Yan Xixi's shock at that time was absolutely unimaginable, destroying his three views, whether it was his outlook on life, world outlook or values, all of them were destroyed!

There are officials in the world who do not accept bribes, this matter may be commonplace for the elders of later generations, but it is a huge shock to a person from a Confucian merchant family in the Ming Dynasty.

The first thing he thought of was some kind of immortal jump, as well as all kinds of conspiracies, and he wanted to get a vote from inside and outside while he was leaving.

But as the people he hired carried those boxes, no one took care of him, in fact, there was an elder staring at him at the time, Yan Xixi's three views were indeed destroyed.

Of course, it's still very strange, since these weirdos with hair in the new dynasty are really not greedy for money, then why do you want to hurt the harmony and move the Fan family and a few of them, even if you scrape some money, how good it is to stay and make money, the so-called treason is also very ridiculous in Yan Xixi's opinion, people are sentenced to the country of the Ming Dynasty, you are all anti-Ming and self-reliant, and the Fan family killed only the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they are all ordinary people, what are you worried about.

In the eyes of the Ming gentry, especially many merchants, the elders can be called brutal and tyrannical, selling the previous dynasty, leading the way to the foreign race, entering the city of the Ming Dynasty, slaughtering the people of the Ming Dynasty, plundering the property of the Ming Dynasty, trading with the foreign race, getting those gold and silver treasures, and earning the wealth that they can not spend for dozens of lifetimes, this is the duty of the merchants, what is the matter with the guys of the Chinese Republic that your new court calls itself.

Isn't it true that a merchant should bribe and serve his superiors, plunder and deceive his subordinates, pretend to be friendly to his peers, and annex them directly when he has the opportunity?

It is conceivable that Yan Xixi began to be interested in the imperial court of the imperial capital.

These people's policies can be called strict, and their methods can be said to be hot, but they are really good to the fart people, which also makes Yan Xixi very strange, they are really bad to those beggars, they are not even allowed to make a living, and those who refuse to work are arrested, and they don't know where they went, whether they are dead or alive.

Of course, Yan Xixi naturally didn't care, but he was very familiar with the original leaders of the beggar gang in the imperial capital, and occasionally used them to deal with opponents, so he was naturally quite sad.

Now that the street gangsters are gone, how can he still do business?

In the days that followed, Yan Xixi was also flustered but curious to start a business in the imperial capital, the kind of homeless beggars were swept away, and the thugs who could be found were gone, in case someone else came to the door, what should he do?

The elders have made great efforts to transform the original business ecology of the Ming Dynasty.

The original business is a kind of social network of acquaintances, and what is needed is the contact between people, usually the villagers help to introduce, and for example, through personal relationships, it is not simple anyway.

The villagers find the middleman in a certain place through the relationship, that is, the tooth person of the tooth shop, and then contact the buyer or seller, the profit will naturally be more profitable, and the cost will naturally be borne by the people.

The business ecology of a stranger society is difficult, and even in later generations, it is always the habit of many people to find acquaintances to introduce, which is also caused by too many scars.

And in a certain situation, if you do business with people in a certain place, if you are deceived, you can only angrily refuse to do business with local people again.

However, due to a series of policies in the imperial capital, a large amount of silver poured into the market, and the money was very profitable, and the imperial capital was also desperately using the technology and production capacity in its hands to produce various goods to return funds.

Through the warehouse in the imperial capital and going back and forth with his hometown in Shanxi, the Yan family's business is indeed much better, but many rules, or it is not possible to make friends with Shangguan like before, it is indeed very difficult.

You can eat and drink as much as you want, you just don't take it, you can talk about it as much as you like, you just don't snap, the elders have a strong principle of making friends with outsiders, and naturally there is nowhere to put their mouths.

But what Yan Xixi suffered the most was that some laymen began to rush it.

Shinong industry and commerce were originally a product of hierarchy, but with the slight development of commerce, monopoly also began, at least for laymen, it was not so easy to do.

But the elders are not evil, and their accounting classes, Amway classes, and perfect classes have sent a lot of talent to the business world.

More and more people, relying on convenient transportation and policy support, have embarked on the road of doing business.

These people do not have the connections of his family and have sufficient funds, but they are enterprising and have a supply of goods, and this kind of competition has greatly reduced the profits of selling imperial goods!

In the local area, I couldn't think of cleaning up some unsightly, but people quickly found a countermeasure, and the local garrison quickly exerted pressure, and those former Ming officials and gentry who received the money immediately shrank their hands and feet.

Faced with this situation, the Yan family's first thought was naturally to kill people, but the other side was not good at stubble, many of them even had veterans as shares, and they wanted to eat and do business, and the second was naturally to find a way to hug their thighs.

If it was before, a hat that destroys the market and plots against the grain is enough to crush any enemy.

I'm worried about the present, but it's very difficult.

Yan Xixi has gone through many ways, but unfortunately, basically women and money can't be sent.

He was also warned, so scared that he thought someone had taken a fancy to his family's property.

But there's no danger.

This is the problem of traditional businessmen, it is difficult to embark on the path of healthy competition, cutting costs, improving quality, and it is not faster to kill people directly.

But it was also hit hard, and the answer I got was chilling.

"Five thousand taels want someone's life? And how much is your life worth, five hundred taels? ”

All this is completely different from the past, the old man of the Yan family feels extremely enlightened, the sky of the Ming Dynasty, the earth of the Ming Dynasty, is no longer in the past.

Fortunately, there are still tricks.

Through the understanding of the railway stations in the imperial capital, Tianjin, Zhangjiakou and other places, the Yan family felt that this railway station was a book of great profits that could be passed on to future generations.

Not to mention anything else, many shops near the train station have people thinking of selling them at a high price every few months, and some shops have even changed from restaurants to hotels to southern goods stores within a year.

Yan Xixi's request was that he must find a way to make the railway station sit in their family's land, and for this reason, even if he donated the land used in the railway station, as long as he saw that the remaining land could appreciate a hundred times!

And the "budget" for going through the door is an extremely terrible 100,000 taels of silver!

I have to say that these big merchants, although they are not as good as the million taels of silver of the eight emperor merchants at once, are also very terrifying.
