In the era of assimilation, the social status of merchants in "II" has been raised to unprecedented heights
The sky hasn't fallen, and I still have zĂ i. Wuji World and the Reckless Era are coming to an end, the years have been chasing for a long time, the attraction of Wuji World has changed from losing to winning, all the way in the eyes, and I have become famous for eating tomatoes, and I am not unjustly lost.
Shengjie came to the shareholders' meeting, he arrived early, asked me a few questions, listened to me for a while, I should have been above him Youya, how he became a Youya investment worker who walked everywhere, I was a little envious of people who can work freely, once I was a representative figure, admittedly, I abandoned, deliberately and not intentionally, I thought that the taste of no money could break my life realm, but no, I stood tall.
Again, by killing myself to the point of being in a state of great debt, I have proved that some of my friends, and of the hidden existence with which I have been in contact or out of contact for many years, have failed, and that several people have been wrong, and not all of them are as bold as I am. My realm has not improved, but I have more vision to correct myself in recognizing and judging people, and I once again believe that businessmen are businessmen after all, and businessmen are in charge of the world, and businessmen are superficial after all, predicting their own prophecies.
On the whole, the character of Shinong Industry and Commerce is still correct after all, and it is the same with the times, so there is no need to delve into why there is no Peach Blossom Source World without ancient Chinese books, because it has been led by Western capital ideas to the road of life competition.
Note: Wikipedia is an all-inclusive, open-minded, editorifiable free encyclopedia: "A merchant is a person who buys goods from the supply side at a lower price, and then sells the goods to the demand side at a price higher than the total cost, so as to obtain a profit as a profession." The trades that businessmen are engaged in are called commerce. Goods that are used to buy and sell for profit are called commodities.
A businessman, also known as a businessman. It is said that businessmen are widely known as merchants because the ancient Chinese commercial civilization originated in the Shang Dynasty.
The germination of commerce is based on the development of agriculture and handicrafts, and is accompanied by the origin of civilization, which has promoted and promoted the development of human civilization. As an independent profession, the merchant is the result of the further refinement of the social division of labor.
In ancient China, merchants were collectively referred to as merchants, who were engaged in long-distance trafficking, that is, merchants, who were responsible for trafficking goods from the place of production to the sales market, and Jia was a merchant engaged in opening shops and engaged in retail, that is, sitting merchants, who were responsible for buying large quantities of goods from merchants and then retailing these goods to local consumers.
Some merchants with small capital can neither afford to engage in long-distance trafficking, nor can they open shops for fixed-point retail, so they often use manpower or small means of transportation to walk the streets and alleys along the streets to sell, and are called merchants.
Since ancient times, merchants have been one of the four peoples of Shinong, industry and commerce. However, due to China's large population, agriculture to feed the entire empire became the foundation of the state, and commerce engaged in the transportation and exchange of goods became the last industry in the eyes of the ruling class, so the social status of merchants was not high.
In "Five Worms", Han Feizi sees businessmen as moths of society. "Valuing agriculture and suppressing commerce" became the basic national policy of the empire, and the rulers of previous dynasties had a policy of suppressing merchants to a greater or lesser extent.
Han Gaozu issued a ban that stipulated that merchants must pay heavy taxes, not wear silk clothes, not ride horses, and not allow their children and grandchildren to become officials. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty decreed that merchants should be heavily taxed regardless of whether they were registered or not. Merchants and their families were not allowed to own land, and those who violated it were confiscated and used as slaves. The imperial examination system of the Sui and Tang dynasties clearly stipulated that merchants and their children were not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations. The Song Dynasty only allowed merchants to have "wizards" to be promoted.
In the modern world, merchants are no longer limited to the business of trafficking and retail in the past. Commerce has long penetrated into all industries, and the whole society is based on commodity production and exchange, and the social status of merchants has been raised to an unprecedented height.
