"First of all, what can be determined is that the prince brought us together from all over the country. It is definitely not as simple as inviting guests to dinner. There must be a purpose that the prince wants to achieve."
Nangong Shouzhong said... nonsense.
But everyone still nodded approvingly and approvingly.
"But the question is, what is this purpose?"
Nangong Shouzhong quickly brought the topic to the core of everyone's interest. He pointed at himself and then at everyone else, and said: "This question is actually easy to answer. You are all smart people. It’s all figured out, each of us is a businessman, and if I’m not ashamed, we are all businessmen who have achieved something and have a family fortune. Since ancient times, when the court has been looking for businessmen, what else can it ask for besides money?”
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. These words were truly meaningful and really spoke to their hearts.
Want money!
This is precisely the fact that no one wants to face.
Boss Cao's face twitched and said: "You want money? We don't have money. We are farmers, farmers and merchants. We are the lowest in business. Not only will we be looked down upon by others, but once we are registered as merchants, our children will not be able to participate in any majors." If you have the opportunity to take the exam, you are not even allowed to become a farmer. You can only inherit the merchant registration or become a slave."
"The imperial court treats us like pigs and dogs on weekdays, but now that we are about to be bled, they just hold us down and slaughter us? How can there be such a thing in the world!"
Boss Cao’s words are not only the voice of these big businessmen in the room, but also the voice of all businessmen in the world.
But before everyone could nod in agreement, Nangong Shouzhong spoke.
"This matter has been like this since ancient times, doesn't Boss Cao know?"
Boss Cao said unhappily: "Is this the right thing to do since ancient times?"
Nangong Shouzhong said calmly: "Things like this may not be right since ancient times, but it is definitely something that the vast majority of people, including you and me, cannot change. Throughout the ages, many amazing and talented people have died under the knife of the rules. , Don’t talk about you, Boss Cao, I, Nangong Shouzhong, how about Shen Wansan, the richest man in the world, who contributed greatly to the establishment of this dynasty more than three hundred years ago?"
"Shen Wansan supported Emperor Taizu when he was still young. Later, Emperor Taizu raised an army and was short of money and food. Shen Wansan has always supported him with all his family wealth. After the founding of the Qin Empire, he took the initiative to assume the responsibility for the world. He spent more than half of his military expenses on soldiers and horses, and also donated half of his family property to the court for free."
Speaking of this, Nangong Shouzhong looked at everyone with a half-smile and said: "Shen Wansan's wealth and achievements back then, if all the people in our house were tied up, it would be ten times worse than others. No one denies this. Bar? "
Sure enough, no one said anything.
Shen Wansan's deeds are well known in the Qin Empire. Those who are doing business wish they could regard some of Shen Wansan's words and ideas as imperial edicts. Therefore, no matter how arrogant they are, they dare not say that they can compare with Shen Wansan.
"What will happen to them? Their homes will be ransacked and their families will be wiped out."
Speaking of this, Nangong Shouzhong looked at Boss Cao, who had shouted the loudest just now, and asked: "Why don't Boss Cao come out of this door and repeat what he just said in front of Jin Yiwei?"
Boss Cao's face was dark.
Even though he had a gang background and was familiar with many famous sects in the world, he still didn't have the guts to do such a stupid thing.
In today's world of Qin, who doesn't know that the prince doesn't like chivalrous people? How many so-called heroes of the world have been chopped off for just one sentence of chivalry?
