Although Zhang Feng's plan is very good, it can be said that she seems to have thought of it since she first told Zhang Feng to make weapons.
But this boy, why don't you say it all the time?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help smiling bitterly and said, "did you have such a plan from the beginning?"
Zhang Feng shrugged and threw a flue to Li Shimin: "there's no such thing, but..."
While talking, Zhang Feng lit a cigarette on the oil lamp on the table, took a deep breath and said, "my idea at that time was very simple, that is to take the trade city of Kucha. Once the trade city of Kucha is taken, we can have another way out in the future!"
Li Shimin was surprised and asked, "what's the way back?"
Zhang Feng looked at Li Shimin for a long time and said with some doubts: "Lao Li, sometimes, I think your talent in business is extremely terrible. If you follow me for a month or so, it won't be a problem to be rich in the world in the future!"
"But your boy is a busy man."
Li Shimin looked stiff and laughed off with the help of the cover of the night.
Zhang Feng didn't take it seriously and said to himself: "in fact, together with merchants, he can't be on the table after all. Even many times, he is the object of spitting by officials and scholars. In their view, we businessmen are just buying low and selling high, just a group of mercenary people."
Zhang Feng said so, but Li Shimin didn't object. He said, "you're right, businessman, isn't that it?"
"Do you think so?"
Zhang Feng was a little surprised.
Li Shimin knew he had made a slip of the tongue and quickly waved his hand and said, "no, no, no, I mean, this is what many people think. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, why is business the last? Why do you have to kneel down to see officials? This is..."
Zhang Feng is a little unhappy.
To be honest, he also belongs to the merchant at this time. At this time, he just carried the skin of an academy, but Zhang Feng at this time is different from the merchant.
Zhang Feng pointed to himself and Li Shimin and said, "look at us. What you said is just the kind of stall on the street. In fact, it is not called a businessman. In most cases, it is regarded as an ant. They just sell the fruits of their labor to people in need."
"The businessman I'm talking about belongs to us. You can look at the whole Tang Dynasty and have you ever seen business in this mode before?"
"This..."
Li Shimin looked sluggish in an instant.
Zhang Feng is right.
Before, and at this time, almost all merchants in Datang were family members. Even if there were hired workers, they were almost handyman. At this time, Li Shimin was stunned when he recalled the operation with Zhang Feng, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others.
They are not real businessmen, if they are real businessmen
Well, this is terrible.
This is the business that Li Shimin made according to his own ditch. After thinking about it casually, he immediately understood the meaning of Zhang Feng's words.
Li Shimin was surprised and said, "do you mean to start with people of five surnames and seven nationalities?"
Li Shimin has always been worried about dealing with these aristocratic families. Even Li Shimin dare not easily provoke the hegemony of these clans over the Datang market, such as the previous iron ore.
At this time, the recruit blade was made, and Zhang Feng had new things. At this time, it's time to deal with the aristocratic family.
However, Zhang Feng waved his hand silently and said, "no, it's not urgent. It's still early to deal with them. You should remember the iron ore before, so you can't move until there is a complete plan!"
"Then why are you talking for a long time?"
Li Shimin stared at Zhang Feng and asked.
Zhang Feng grinned and said, "don't worry. I know it's hard for the five surnames and seven families to press on you. The merchants controlled by the five surnames and seven families, almost idle family merchants, are difficult to survive. However, these people occupy all parts of our Datang."
"And most importantly, we all have a common enemy, that is, those big clans and gate valves. This is an opportunity. My plan is to dump all our interests. While maximizing our interests, we can also drive more people to fight against the five surnames and seven clans. Even then, the emperor will be afraid of us!"
"Hiss --!"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Li Shimin was surprised and took a deep breath. The smoke in his mouth also lit up and burned for a long time. In an instant, Li Shimin coughed violently.
"You... Are really crazy! If you don't mention the people of five surnames and seven nationalities, will you know? Even if you don't know, do you know that many of our things now have an inseparable interest relationship with who in the palace, and even many ministers in the court have an interest relationship with us? Wouldn't this interest offend those people in the court in an instant?"
"At that time, let's not say anything else. The people in the court will be in a twinkling of an eye. We don't have any residue left!"
"Think twice, you must think twice!"
