"Hehe~! Boss Cao doesn't need to be too polite~!"

Li Zexuan gave him a hand, smiled politely, and then said, "Boss Cao spent 2,000 yuan to support the new-style carriage of Qiqu Pavilion, and the day before yesterday, he spent thousands of yuan and gave hundreds of pots at Benjue's wedding banquet. Luoyang Hong, why haven't I thanked Boss Cao for his righteous deeds yet? What's the point of blaming me~?"

When Cao Wendong heard the words, he felt a little relieved, secretly thinking that the previous money was finally spent in vain. With a good atmosphere at the beginning of the conversation, the rest of the matter was easily negotiated.

"Your Majesty, don't want to break Cao Mou, it's only a few thousand pieces. For Sir, I'm afraid it's just a drop in the bucket. Besides, Cao Mou really likes the new carriage of Qiqu Pavilion. , so I really don't deserve this kind of thanks from the Lord."

Cao Wendong bowed his hands and said politely to Li Zexuan, who was a scholar, peasant, businessman, and strict hierarchy, so he couldn't help being polite.

Previously, he was in the Trolley Pavilion, and he did intentionally "raise a hand" for Li Zexuan's new carriage, but this kind of thing can't be said, otherwise the effect of "gifting" will be greatly reduced, or even counterproductive!

Cao Wendong, who has been at the bottom of the society for so many years, still knows a lot about the officialdom.

Sure enough, there was a traceless smile on Li Zexuan's face. Previously, he used retreat as advance, and he really meant to test Cao Wendong.

Whether it's the voluntary price increase of the new carriage of Troll's Court, or the extravagant act of sending thousands of peonies at the wedding, it is Cao Wendong's volition, not what Li Zexuan forced. , then Li Zexuan can only see off the guest with his sleeves!

This kind of person is full of scheming, and he is not willing to make friends.

Fortunately, Cao Wendong's response made Li Zexuan quite satisfied. He knew how to advance and retreat, be sensible, and be aware of current affairs. He should be a hero!

"Haha~! Boss Cao is really an open-minded person! However, in any case, Boss Cao has done a lot in Benjue's wedding. Benjue is still grateful in my heart, but I don't know, Boss Cao came today, What's the matter?"

After a little test, he felt that Cao Wendong was a pretty good person, and Li Zexuan stopped beating around the bush and said bluntly.

"Uh~!"

Cao Wendong was stunned for a moment. Li Zexuan cut to the point faster than the officials he had come into contact with in the past. This is a bit different from the "pretentious and euphemistic" conversation style commonly used in the current officialdom!

"Returning to Sir, to be honest, this old man is only here for one thing, thinking that Sir can come forward and organize a chamber of commerce, and members of the chamber of commerce can give priority to cooperation with each other. In Wenrou Township, "Datang Daily" and all the books of Troll Culture, Cao has always wanted to seek cooperation with Sir, but there is no way out, so he can only work at home in a hurry."

Now that Li Zexuan stopped beating around the bush, Cao Wendong also decided to stop grinding and chirping, and he went straight to the topic and replied.

Li Zexuan raised his brows in surprise. Cao Wendong wanted to work with him. He could understand. After all, the businesses under him were monopolistic. Many people wanted to come in and get a piece of the pie, but certainly not everyone was qualified to come in. . What surprised him was that Cao Wendong actually wanted him to organize a chamber of commerce. Does this guy want to do something?

"Why did Boss Cao think of forming a chamber of commerce~?"

Cao Wendong struggled for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Cao has had several business dealings with Mr. Li, but he never thought that there would be a young hero like Mr. Li in the Li family. The founding county man of Tang Dynasty, and he took up the important position of the imperial supervisor, breaking the iron rule of our dynasty that "businessmen and businessmen's children cannot enter the dynasty and serve as officials"!"

"Cao Mou and other businessmen have all worshipped and believed that the Lord is the hope of our businessmen, so Cao Mou boldly asked the Lord to lead us businessmen to do something big to eliminate the princes of the court and the people of the world. Prejudice against businessmen~!"

After Cao Wendong finished speaking, he held his fists and bowed deeply to Li Zexuan, and kept his upper body bent at a 90-degree angle without getting up.

Li Zexuan was speechless. To be fair, it was the first time that he heard that businessmen in the Tang Dynasty could not be officials. He had heard of the low status of ancient businessmen before, but he did not expect to be so lowly. Classes are squeezed together!

According to historical records, the division of the four classes of scholars, farmers, workers and merchants came from Guan Zhong, the state minister of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period. He advocated that the nation should be divided into four classes: scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants, and they should live in fixed areas according to their respective professions. This specialized commodity economy model has been regarded as the basic form and guiding principle since the Han Dynasty.

On the surface, the "separation of business between the four people" is an inheritance of the ancient system of the Yin and Zhou Dynasties, but in fact there is a big difference. The fundamental difference is that the "business" and "scholar and peasants" are juxtaposed, and both are regarded as "the stone of the country". civil". Therefore, at the beginning of Guan Zhong's division of the scholars, peasants, and industrial and commercial classes, there was no distinction between superior and inferior, noble and inferior.

The ancient Chinese did not seem to be light on business either. The Shang people who turned over the Xia Dynasty and established the Shang Dynasty were actually the earliest merchants, which is also the root cause of what we call businessmen as merchants.

Later, when the founders of the Zhou Dynasty reflected on the lessons of the demise of the Shang Dynasty, they believed that the demise of the Shang Dynasty was because the people were keen on industry and commerce and abandoned agriculture, causing the people to be impetuous and the foundation of the country unstable. policy. In the Zhou system, the status of industrial and commercial workers became very low, and the "Hundred Workers" were often tied with the concubines (men and women slaves) who were in slave status.

In the following dynasties, as the rulers continued to treat merchants

Suppressed, the status of businessmen is getting lower and lower.

In the Qin Dynasty, merchants could not wear silk clothes even if they were very rich. In the Han Dynasty, merchants could not be officials, and handicraftsmen were "untouchables", and their family property had to be declared to the court. During the Tang Dynasty, merchants could not enter the dynasty as officials. It was not until the Ming and Qing dynasties that the status of merchants changed, from a wealthy businessman with no career path to a wealthy businessman with a career path. Chinese businessman Xianyu turned over successfully.

Therefore, Li Zexuan's ability to obtain an official status as the son of a businessman can be regarded as an unprecedented fluke. The main reason is that he has made enough credit, and Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin have always regarded him as a junior, and they are constantly promoting that The second award, coupled with the fact that he is a close disciple of the world's top master Lingxu, this identity has almost completely cleared his businessman's identity, and added a lot of impression points to Li Er, so he can have the present of baronial status.

It can be said that his success cannot be replicated for thousands of businessmen in the Tang Dynasty. Cao Wendong can't be envied even if he is envious~!
