Chapter 874 Merchant

Although Xia Hongsheng was very busy the first day and stayed up most of the night at night, he got up at dawn the next morning, washed up, changed into clean clothes, and took Qi Yong to the academy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

By the time the students got up to run and read in the morning, Xia Hongsheng was already waiting outside the building, which he secretly called the "academic exchange center".

After a while, the bandstand arrived. Seeing Xia Hongsheng standing there, he was quite surprised.

"Mr. Le." Xia Hongsheng smiled at the music stage.

Letai stepped forward and said, "The mountain chief came so early? Hehe, I finally came back in time, and I caught up with the joy of the eldest wedding of the mountain, and I congratulated the mountain chief first. ”

Xia Hongsheng waved his hand: "Mr. Le has traveled thousands of miles, and I still have to thank Mr. Le." ”

"It's not a good road. After searching for it, I was finally able to find it. Letai sighed, but said: "Since Letai came to the academy, he knows that the world is knowledgeable, and it should be integrated, and they should promote each other, choose their strengths and complement each other's weaknesses, rather than having you and not me." The mountain chief's sentence 'each is beautiful, the beauty of the beauty, the beauty of the world, the world is the same', is the way of a hundred schools of thought to survive and forge ahead! He also felt this, so he was willing to come out with a certain person to see what the academy was like. ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled and asked again: "Coming back all the way together, Mr. Yile came to see, these people ......?"

Letai laughed and said: "I haven't said hello to the mountain chief yet, this time, if the mountain chief can keep these three people, then our academy will be like a tiger with wings!" The longest of the three is Mr. Ghost Chaozong, who is responsible for the intrigues of the soldiers, and he has opened the eyes of the music platform along the way. The other person is said to be sincere and proficient in the art of vertical and horizontal. There is another person, but the mountain chief can't think of it. ”

"Oh?" Xia Hongsheng looked at the music stage unexpectedly: "But who is it?" ”

"This person's surname is Runze, and he is the ear of the Spring and Autumn Ji family!" Letai said with a smile: "He is the heir of the business. ”

Xia Hongsheng's eyes widened suddenly, business?! This......

"Hundreds of princes, merchants?!" Xia Hongsheng asked in surprise.

Letai smiled and nodded: "Yes, it is the heir of the merchant." It turned out that his ancestors also avoided disaster in Qiongzhou. The ghost predecessors knew the meaning of a certain coming, and after hearing a certain talk about the principle of inclusiveness of the academy, he was happy to follow a certain to Chang'an to see it with his own eyes. And the two families also avoided Qiongzhou, and now they have become world friends, so they sent people to spread the word and came together. ”

Ouch, Xia Hongsheng felt that his heartbeat was a little faster, isn't this God helping his son?!

The sons of the hundred schools, their sons, are the representatives of academic thought such as Guanzi, Laozi, Confucius, Zhuangzi, Mozi, Mencius, Xunzi and other academic ideas in the pre-Qin period, and are regarded as sages. The Hundred Schools of Thought is a general term for different academic schools. According to the records of the Hanshu Art and Literature Chronicle, there are a total of 189 schools and 4,324 works that can be counted, so it is called 100 schools. However, in the following books such as the Book of Sui and the Chronicles of the Sui Dynasty, there were thousands of records of the "Hundred Schools of Thought".

However, there are only a few dozen of them that are widely circulated, have great influence, and are the most famous. In general, there are only 12 schools that have become formal.

The fact that it has not become a school does not mean that its academic ideas and concepts are not good, but sometimes it is alienated from others and fails to become its school because it is too advanced or does not conform to the mainstream values of the time.

This merchant is one of them.

The name of the merchant is not well known, and it has not been able to form a school, which is inseparable from the policy principle of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce since the Zhou Dynasty. There have been several dramatic changes in the attitude of the ancients towards industry and commerce. The ancient Chinese did not seem to be light on business. As early as the Yin Shang period, people were willing and good at doing business and engaged in handicraft manufacturing.

When reflecting on the lessons of the fall of the Shang Dynasty, the founders of the Zhou Dynasty believed that the fall of the Yin Shang Dynasty was due to the people's enthusiasm for industry and commerce and the barren agriculture, which caused the people's impetuousness and the instability of the national foundation, so they turned to implement a policy of heavy agriculture that despised industry and commerce. In the Zhou system, the status of industrialists and merchants became very low, and the "hundred laborers" were often placed alongside slaves.

However, in the pre-Qin period, due to the chaos in the world and the "collapse of etiquette and music", commerce and merchants, as well as handicraftsmen, had a very short period of prosperity.

The division of the four classes of scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants came from the Spring and Autumn Period, when the state ministers of Qi were in charge. He advocated dividing the people into four classes: scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, and living in fixed areas according to their respective specialties. This specialized commodity economic model has been revered as the basic form and guiding principle since the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty.

On the surface, the "division of industry of the four people" is the inheritance of the ancient system of the Yin and Zhou dynasties, but in fact there is a big difference, and its fundamental difference is that the "industry and commerce" and "Shinong" are juxtaposed, and they are regarded as "the stone people of the country". Therefore, at the beginning of Guan Zhong's division of the Shinong industrial and commercial class, there was no distinction between superior and inferior, noble and inferior.

There are also clouds in "Liutao, Wentao, and Liushou": the three treasures of big farmers, big workers, and big businessmen. If the farmer is his hometown, the grain is sufficient; If you work in your hometown, you will be sufficient; If the business is in its hometown, the goods are sufficient. The Three Jewels are in their place, and the people are not worried. There is no chaos in its hometown, there is no chaos in its clan, there is no minister who is rich in the king, and there is no greater than the country. Six guards, then Junchang; After the three treasures are finished, the country will be safe.

Guan Zhong himself is the master of the merchant's heavy skills.

However, the academic who founded the business is famous. Therefore, the merchant is also known as Ji Ranjia.

This Ji Ran is a powerful figure, he is proficient in the science of commercial economics, and is good at talking about statecraft from the perspective of economics. Erudite and all-encompassing, especially calculating. Later generations respected the "Shang Sheng" of the more doctor Fan Li, respected Ji Ran as a teacher. Ji Ran then gave Fan Li seven plans. Fan Li used these seven strategies to assist King Goujian of Yue, and only used five of them to destroy Wu.

Ji Ran is the first business theorist in China, because he turned the art of business into a theory, so the strategy of business is also called Ji Ran's strategy.

The first characteristic of this is to decide the mode of operation according to the law of production, emphasizing the importance of reserves, that is, "knowing the fight is repaired." The second is to judge the rise and fall of prices according to the market supply relationship, that is, "if there is more than enough, then you know the high and low." "Third, the state is required to use economic methods to regulate supply and demand to control prices and keep them within a reasonable range, so as to be beneficial to both production and marketing. Fourth, it is required to pay attention to the quality of goods in order to "finish things". Fifth, it is required to pay attention to speeding up the turnover of commodities and funds, and "money wants to go like flowing water."

These "strategic measures" are very correct and of positive significance, even if they are placed in future generations.

To prosper and manage business, someone must first understand business.

With Xia Hongsheng's economic common sense, I'm afraid it's not enough. However, if they can be integrated and studied together, it is enough to form a preliminary set of business theories.

"Good! Good! Xia Hongsheng was overjoyed: "Great! God help me! (To be continued.) )
