The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 511 Liu Bian strengthens the country
Mi Zhu and a group of guests were taken to Ju County, Qingzhou, where Kong Rong immediately entertained Mi Zhu.As for the pottery brothers, they were not included in the banquet. No one would look down on a useless young master.

During the dinner, Kong Rong asked Mi Zhu, "Zizhong, now that your family property is gone in Xuzhou, what are your plans in the future?"

"Haha, I think Tao Zhugong's daughter came back when he was gone. Although I don't have the ability of Tao Zhugong to govern the country and stabilize the country, I have learned his skills in business. Although I have no family property in Xuzhou, as long as I am here , will come back sooner or later!" Mi Zhu laughed loudly.

Tao Zhugong is Fan Li. He is a famous military strategist, politician, and economist, and he seems to know everything and be omnipotent.In the early years, he assisted King Goujian of Yue to restore his country, and three thousand Yuejia swallowed Qiang Wu.However, emperors can share joys and sorrows and adversity, but they can't share wealth?How can Gou Jian tolerate humiliation in his early years, Fan Li knows it all, how can Gou Jian tolerate him?

However, Fan Li also saw this clearly early on. After Goujian returned to the state, Fan Li went back to seclusion and changed his name and surname.Fan Li's honors are widely known to later generations, so I won't list them one by one.
Mi Zhu compared himself to Fan Li. Although he was just doing business, Kong Rong did not dare to underestimate him.

Among the four grades of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and civilians, merchants are the lowest grade and are regarded as a lowly industry. Because merchants value profits and do not make money without profits, this kind of people is the most despised.

However, Liu Bian respected business, or it was not called admiration, but encouraged its development. He governed the country with Confucian benevolence and righteousness. The country is disadvantaged.

Moreover, businessmen are a mobile group, which is not conducive to management and is a factor of social instability. If businessmen are respected, the powerful people will also pursue interests, but the country is based on benevolence and righteousness. In this way, society will be in chaos.

This is the root of the feudal society's emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business. The root cause is to stabilize the status of the ruler and the stability of the country.

Fortunately, Mi Zhu is a kind man. Although his family started as a merchant, it is common for them to help the people. Although he is a merchant, his status is very high. Even Kong Rong, a descendant of Confucius and a representative of Confucianism, cannot afford to hate him. This is a benevolent man who started his business.

After hearing Mi Zhu's words, Kong Rong laughed loudly and said, "Zizhong really has Tao Zhugong's demeanor. I wonder if Zizhong is going to Luoyang or staying in Chang'an?"

Kong Rong thought that Mi Zhu would stay in Qingzhou. If Mi Zhu develops in Qingzhou, it will surely drive the development of Qingzhou and benefit the people. Xuzhou's prosperity has a lot to do with the promotion of the Mi family.

After thinking for a while, Zizhong said: "Let's go to Luoyang. The younger sister is still in Qingzhou. Now His Majesty wants to admit her into the palace. I just escort them to Luoyang."

Kong Rong was a little disappointed, but still nodded with a smile and said, "Since you decided to go to Luoyang, the old man sent General Qin Qiong to accompany him for protection, and just happened to tell His Majesty about the situation in Qingzhou."

The main reason is that Mi Zhen is too important, and Kong Rong has to be cautious. After all, there are only two roads from Qingzhou to Luoyang, one is through Yanzhou and the other is through Jizhou. They are both hostile camps. It's not good if the army arrests them.

"Thank you so much!" Mi Zhu said happily.

After the banquet, on the second day Qin Qiongdai led hundreds of soldiers, disguised as business travelers, and rushed from Jizhou to Luoyang.Compared with Yanzhou, Jizhou has a looser defense and is easier to deal with.Half a month later, the group arrived in Luoyang without any risk.

After arriving in Luoyang, Liu Bian met Mi Zhu, Mi Zhen, and Mi Zhen. Liu Bian naturally liked it, so he immediately ordered someone to choose an auspicious day for Mi Zhen to enter the palace.

But Mi Zhu was called into the study by Liu Bian to discuss important matters in secret.In the study, Liu Bian took out a stack of copywriting and showed it to Mi Zhu, while he was dealing with government affairs himself.The copy was very thick, about dozens of pages long, and Mi Zhu read it for a long time, but kept thinking about it, his expression changing unpredictablely.

After reading for two full hours, Mi Zhu put down the copywriting, looked at Liu Bian and said bitterly: "Your Majesty intends to improve the status of merchants? To develop business?"

Apparently, the copy in Mi Zhu's hand was drafted by Liu Bian for commercial construction.

But after hearing what Mi Zhu said, Liu Bian shook his head and said, "Status? Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are all ordinary people, there is no such thing as low. They are all my subjects, and I naturally treat them equally. The reason for dividing them into four levels is because scholars are scholars. Naturally, the status is the highest, and Da Hannong is the root, and the peasants are naturally second, followed by the workers. As for the businessman, the businessman’s emphasis on profit is a factor of social instability, so he is at the bottom.”

"However, in your Majesty's copy, it is to establish a Ministry of Commerce and develop commerce. In this way, everyone in the world is chasing interests, and no one is serving farmers. It is bound to have an impact on agriculture and shake the country. , Your Majesty's move will greatly promote commerce, but Caomin is more concerned about the country, I hope your Majesty will not develop commerce!" Mi Zhu shook his head bitterly.

Liu Bian's eyes were full of admiration. The contents of this copy were a series of policies and plans to stimulate business.If ordinary people read it, they would definitely take advantage of Liu Bian's business opportunity to make a fortune. Although Mi Zhu is a businessman, he thinks about the country and advises Liu Bian not to prosper in business.Liu Bian admires his benevolence and loyalty.

Businessmen are like this, and they are cancers of the Confucian benevolent society. No ruler will develop commerce and cause turmoil in his own rule.Yes, just keep suppressing business, Liu Bian's idea, Mi Zhu doesn't understand, and can't figure it out.

Although Liu Bian admired Mi Zhu, he did not intend to extinguish his own ideas. If a country wants to become strong, it cannot do without business.Although the Han Dynasty is a big agricultural country, the proper development of commerce will not have an impact on agriculture, and Liu Bian also needs to restrain merchants while developing commerce.

"This is a copywriting plan for business development. I know the disadvantages of business development. If you talk about it unilaterally, what good is it!" Liu Bian waved his hands.

"Your Majesty's plan to develop commerce is indeed novel. I'm afraid Tao Zhugong is still alive. If it is implemented according to the plan, it will greatly promote the prosperity of my man, but the rise of merchants will not be conducive to stability..."

Before Mi Zhu finished speaking, Liu Bian raised his hand to stop him. Liu Bian smiled and said, "It is enough to promote the prosperity of my big man. As for how to suppress and stabilize the merchants after their rise, I have a way!"

"What can His Majesty do?" Mi Zhu asked in surprise.

"As mentioned above, I want to establish a Ministry of Commerce. The role of the Ministry of Commerce is to manage the businessmen in the world! And I also plan to compile a commercial code to manage these unstable factors!" Liu Bian said with a smile.

"Commercial code?" Mi Zhu was so surprised that he could hold a steamed bun in his mouth, but he didn't react for a long time.

After all, the law is too avant-garde, even the big man's law is not very regular.Because Confucianism governs the country now, Confucianism emphasizes benevolence and righteousness, and the law does not care about human feelings, so many laws are not sound.In many places, the trial of cases is not implemented in accordance with the law, and they are all managed by people.Therefore, some local officials are fair and honest, and they don't pick up lost things on the way, while some officials are mediocre and incompetent, so they don't know how to govern and the society is dark.

But if there is a law, if there is a way to govern the country, everything will be implemented according to the law, then it will not depend on the will of people.

But the country ruled by law is the Qin State, and Qin State ruled the country by law, which was too strict, and died in the second generation.However, the Han Dynasty learned a lesson, governed the country with Confucianism, influenced by benevolence and righteousness, and survived for 400 years under the coordination of laws, Confucianism outside and law inside.

Liu Bian came from later generations, and in his heart he hoped that the country would be ruled by law, but today's big man doesn't allow it.Reforms may lead to a country becoming stronger, or it may lead to a country falling into the abyss. What's more, Liu Bian is not unified now, and there are many princes outside. I dare not think about it.Moreover, today's big men may not need to reform. The main contradiction in today's society is the aristocratic family. Food needs to be eaten one bite at a time, and changes must be made step by step, without the slightest mistake.

The establishment of the Ministry of Commerce is Liu Bian's first step in reforming the law and strengthening the country.

After all, Mi Zhu is still preconceived. To develop business, he fundamentally thinks that it is not possible.

He didn't even think about legal restrictions. The whole country doesn't have sound laws. It's governed by Confucianism and Legalism. How did he get it?
But if this is true, the development of commerce will promote Dahan's economy, and on the other hand, Dahan is launching a commercial code to limit the unstable factor of businessmen.

The idea is undoubtedly feasible.

Liu Bian hadn't told anyone about this plan yet, but Mi Zhu was the first to know about it. Mi Zhu is a business giant, and if he was asked to set up a business department, he first knew how to develop business.Secondly, Mi Zhu, who started as a businessman, understands the unstable factors of businessmen.And the Ministry of Commerce under him will eliminate these harms to the country based on the harms of businessmen and local conditions.

And Mi Zhu's loyalty and benevolence strengthened Liu Bian's thinking.

"Your Majesty, may I ask where this commercial code is now, can you show it to the grassroots?" Mi Zhu looked at Liu Bian expectantly and said.

Liu Bian laughed loudly and said, "Isn't this commercial code all in your heart? Since you started a business, you naturally understand the dangers of businessmen. I plan to use you as the main body to compile a commercial code. The content of the code is to eliminate it for me. Businessmen are a danger to the country!"

Mi Zhu's expression froze, and he said pleasantly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking a fancy to it. Caomin will compile this commercial code!"

The first commercial law, if it was written by Mi Zhu, it will be famous in history in the future!
Liu Bian waved his hand and said, "I still need to discuss this with the ministers. After the discussion, we will make a charter, then compile the commercial code, and then develop the business. During this time, you can visit the ministers and establish good relations. The Ministry of Commerce is established and the foundation is laid!"
