Chapter 058: Let's get to the point
Zhou Budo returned to him what Xu Jing had just said to Qin Mi, coupled with the sluggish expression when he just opened his eyes, Xu Jing's beard stood upside down, but the other party was a child, how could he be angry with his own identity?
Xu Jing's face turned red, and he couldn't say a word.
Wang Fu said to Liu Zhang: "Lord, now this result is the best, Qin Mi has already said what the clan wants to say, and Xu Jing has also refuted all of them, and Zhou Budo can't be allowed to stir up the situation and add many variables." ”
Liu Zhang slapped his forehead and said casually: "Let's take a look, Xu Jing is almost invincible, I want to hear how Zhou Budo refutes him, Zhou Budo is a rare prodigy, if he is frustrated once, it will also be good for him." ”
Zhou Budo got up from Xiao Furong and said slowly: "Mr. Xu's words are just one point of view, business can make money, making money can strengthen the army, and strong soldiers can calm the troubled times and drive away the Hulu, right?" ”
Xu Jing nodded hesitantly: "That's right, the so-called ......"
"Wait, listen to me." Zhou Budo interrupted Xu Jing's words, and Xu Jing gasped heavily.
Zhou Budo suddenly sighed and made a sad gesture: "Mr. Xu's vision is so short-sighted, he doesn't understand the good intentions of the sage to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, yes, business can make money, but at the same time, what about making money?" Haven't you heard of no treachery, no business?
In the long run, the society will inevitably put interests first, and morality will be lost, I believe that Mr. Xu, as a great Confucian in the world, will not look down on morality, right? After the moral decay, it will inevitably eat up the economy, and when the time comes, everyone will live under calculation, the truth will no longer be there, the people will be rich in material, but the spirit will be empty, and life will be more painful. ”
"This ......"
Zhou Budo raised morality to the social level, Xu Jing was speechless, but Liu Zhang was very surprised in his heart, this week is not doubtful how broad the knowledge should be, moral degradation, and the economy, which has been verified in Europe and the United States in the early 20th century, and Asia in the 21st century, and as an ancient, it can realize this level, and the wisdom of Zhou Budo is too terrible.
Zhou Budo continued: "The sage said that the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of business does not mean that business is eliminated, and it cannot be eliminated, because as Mr. said, business can make money, no matter what era, there are people who go to business, the so-called farmers do not wear yarn, and those who yarn have no rice grain, it is impossible to happen, the reason why the sage emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business, is not to let commerce run rampant and maintain social simplicity.
And Mr. Xu's logic is really a bit jumpy, who said that business makes money, and then you can enrich the country and strengthen the army? Mr. doesn't hear about the Spring and Autumn Five Tyrants, is there Zheng Guo? The Seven Heroes of the Warring States, what is the national strength of South Korea? These two countries are both business-oriented, why didn't they dominate the world as Mr. said, but the Qin State relied on the Shang Dynasty to change the law to destroy the Six Kingdoms? A very important part of the Shang Dynasty Reform Law is to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, Mr. Erudite, you don't know it, right? ”
Xu Jing snorted: "You only mention Han and Zheng Erguo, why don't you mention Qi Guo?" Qi is a commercial power, one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is also economically developed in the Warring States period, surpassing the other six countries. The kid is talking nonsense, not enough to be exposed. ”
Xu Jing almost felt that arguing with a child was cheap, but the surrounding scholars were watching and couldn't be stage frightened, the scholars listened to Xu Jing's words and immediately came to their senses, only to feel that Zhou Budo had nothing to say, and now they just wanted the big Confucianism in their hearts to refute this child, completely forgetting that they were also in favor of heavy agriculture and suppressing business.
Zhou Budo laughed out loud, "The kid's words are not enough, Mr.'s words are to the point, and as soon as he says it, he gets to the point, the Qi State is indeed a strong country with business, but does Mr. know how the Qi State perished?" The national strength of the Qi State was stronger than that of Qin, but it sat back and watched the Qin State destroy the Five Kingdoms, and finally it was difficult to support it alone, and it fell with a bang.
Everyone in the world thinks that Qi is a plan to attack Qin from afar, but it's a big fallacy, Qin can attack from afar, can't Qi be? In fact, it was a commercial misunderstanding, the merchants of Qi had trade contacts with all countries, and if they offended any country, they would suffer losses, and they kidnapped the country for their own interests, so the business-led Qi State did not dare to oppose the expansion of the Qin State, nor did they dare to expand, and finally led to defeat.
This is exactly the point that the kid wants to state, after business profits, a large number of businessmen will be created, they will use taxes and commodities to blackmail the country, and use their own interests to influence national policies, and their interests are often inconsistent with national interests, just like the Qi country, even if the country is destroyed, the businessman is still a businessman, but the Qi country is no longer there.
If Yizhou prospers, in the future, Uncle Liu Huang will conquer the rice thieves in Hanzhong, and the merchants who have huge business dealings with Hanzhong will be stopped, if this force is too great, Uncle Huang will not dare to act rashly, let me ask Mr. Xu, how to solve this problem? ”
Zhou Budo's point of view is too novel, although it is not like Xu Jing and Qin Mi, but others still listen to it ignorantly, and only vaguely feel that it is very reasonable, only Liu Zhang is clear in his heart, and he is even more surprised by Zhou Budo, because he knows that there are too many examples of commercial kidnapping of countries.
The policy of appeasement before World War II was not that the British and French leaders did not have foresight, but that domestic businessmen did not want to get involved in the war, and if the leaders wanted to curb German expansion by force, those people would vote against it in the parliamentary cabinet, and the leaders could only step down, and if Churchill had been prime minister a few years earlier, he would probably not be much different from Chamberlain.
In modern times, in order to take into account the economic situation, it is no longer necessary to have a large-scale war.
These truths involve too much, and there is no right or wrong at all, but Zhou Budo, as a person thousands of years ago, can realize this level, which is already against the sky.
Wang Fu said anxiously to Liu Zhang: "Lord, there is no doubt that there is a rare talent this week, I'm afraid Xu Jing is not his opponent, if he refutes Xu Jing, I'm afraid we will have big trouble in promoting business, stop him quickly." ”
Liu Zhang shook his head slowly: "Stop him now, it seems that we are weak-minded, let's watch it first, such a genius, it is also a great pleasure to see him sit and talk about the world." ”
Xu Jing stood stunned in place, Zhou Budo's words had exceeded his understanding, and he really didn't know how to answer, but if he didn't answer Zhou Budo, wouldn't it be a shame for him to lose to a child in front of everyone?
Xu Jing held back for a long time: "You say so, was it wrong for Emperor Xiaowen to start business at the beginning?" The distribution of products in the world is uneven, if there is no exchange, how can we learn from each other's strengths? If there is no commercial accumulation, how can we help the victims in the disaster area when there is no rice and grain harvest in the disaster year? Will the victims starve to death? ”
Xu Jing's words had a pitfall, and Emperor Xiaowen was brought out, Zhou Budo bluntly refuted it, that is, to refute the emperor, that is, not to sympathize with the victims, not only will there be disasters, but also will not be popular with the people, and Qin Mi was so embarrassed by this trick that he was speechless.
When all the scholars saw Xu Jing throwing out this point, they all thought that Zhou Budo was speechless, and some people who were optimistic about this prodigy were also curious about how Zhou Budo would refute it.
