Zhao Zhengxiong, a fur merchant, was also in the rebel army in his early years. Later, because he injured one eye, he retreated and went to Liaodong to start a fur business. Because there were some old brothers in the army, the business was still smooth. Over the past ten years, it is said that 60% of the fur business in the country belonged to his Zhao family.

The fat man's name is Wu Tianci, a wood merchant, a native of Liaodong. When he was 20 years old, he became the largest wood merchant in Liaodong in 20 years. When he was building a palace city in Nanjing in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, he was said to have used his wood.

The white-faced scholar named Chang Kun, an iron mining businessman, from Datong, Shanxi, was a scholar born in Hongwu Nian. He was captured by the Mongols to Liaodong. After escaping, he was rescued by the owner of an iron shop. He married the boss's daughter and later inherited the family business. The scholars still had some brains. After a few years, under the court's policy, the business was booming, and the branch had already opened to Peking. It was just because of the past experience that the Ming army could not protect the people and did not like the government.

The last man in blue had a scar on his face, and his name was Li Dachun. It is said that he was a horse thief from Liaodong that year, and he made a fortune because he stole a treasure. This man was the most courageous and went to the land of the Hu Tartars to buy cattle and sheep. He was the largest livestock dealer in Liaodong. The three provinces in North China used the livestock he sold.

"Cough cough." Everyone looked at the back of the case. A handsome young man in luxury clothes walked into the tent accompanied by two civil officials. They were Yao Shan and Yu Yi. The four of them knew that the young man was the legendary King of Liao, so they stood up and knelt down to salute: "The King of Liao was a thousand years old and a thousand years old and a thousand years old."

Zhu Zhi walked up to the front enthusiastically and personally helped the four people up: "No need to be polite, get up quickly, get up. I am late because of some trivial matters, please forgive me." The four people stood up flatteredly, but they were even more confused. They were so intimate that they might have more money, and they were forced to squeeze out a smile to deal with it.

Zhu Zhi sat on a chair and cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, I have just arrived in Liaodong, and I have to rely on you to support me. Recently, I walked around the ground in Liaodong and had a general understanding of Liaodong. I have rich products in Liaodong, and I can do a lot of business. Haha, I don't know if you understand the intention of letting you come here."

Wu Tianci smiled and said, "Your Highness just came to Liaodong. Logically, we should be filial and respectful, which is why we respect us. But today we came in a hurry and didn't bring so much money. Tomorrow we will send 5,000 taels of silver." Chang Kunpi stared at the Wu surnamed without a smile. He had his heart to eat him. You can do it, and you will flatter you. Open your mouth and it will be 5,000 taels. Your grandma's... has scolded his ancestors for 18 generations.

The other people quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, we will deliver it tomorrow..."

When Zhu Zhi saw this, he waved his hand and said, "I've made a mistake, I've made a mistake, I've made a mistake, I've made a mistake, I don't mean that."

When the people below heard this, it was over. The prince thought it was too little. Look at me and I looked at you. Li Dachun gritted his teeth and said, "If your highness thinks it is too little, then it will be ten thousand taels. The rain this year is not good, and the cattle and sheep live fewer, and the small ones really can't produce more."

Zhu Zhi laughed: "I think everyone has misunderstood. I asked everyone to come here to ask you for bribes. Today is mainly two things. First, let's take a look at this first." As he waved his hand, Yao Shan stuffed a small notebook into each person's hand. "This is the "Fair Trade Order" to be issued in Liaodong, which is related to everyone's personal interests, so please take a closer look, give me advice and give me advice."

Zhao Zhengxiong took it in his hand and looked at it. Five beautiful running scripts of "Fair Trade Order" were written on his skin. He opened the small notebook and wrote a line of words on the first page: "The law is the most important thing." He looked at Zhu Zhi in confusion, not knowing what medicine this prince was going to sell. Zhao Zhengxiong turned a few pages and saw that it said, "Fair traders are the equal status of both parties in the transaction. The wealth of the people, the land of the people, and the things of the people are exchanged for blood and sweat, and those who are not contracted cannot be taken away."

"The contract is based on a fair basis and a principle of voluntary voluntary conclusion between both parties or multiple parties. Once a contract is made, it will be deemed to be a prescribed order and shall not be terminated without the consent of both parties."

"If the government seeks its land, it will be supplemented at the price of the land; if the government seeks its property, it will be supplemented at the price of the property."

"For those who work labor service, the people can replace them with wealth."

...

Turning to the last page of the law, the two beautiful lines of running script are exactly "I wish fairness to be like a big water, and make justice like a river!" Zhao Zhengxiong's heart was filled with passion, and the sentence "I wish fairness to be like a big water, and make justice like a river like a river!" For a businessman in the Ming Dynasty, weren't these two sentences exactly what he dreamed of?

In ancient times, businessmen were neglected and focused on agriculture. In everyone's impression, merchants were treacherous, cunning, and profited from the people. But those scholars never knew the hardships and dangers of merchants getting up early and going to bed late and traveling around the country. As businessmen with low status, they were oppressed and discriminated against by the government everywhere. In the Ming Dynasty, merchants were illegal to wear silk. But it was precisely the Chinese merchants who were the most trustworthy.

In commercial transactions, the ancient Chinese attached the most importance to the word "integrity". Although there are also words and contracts, the people generally pursue a simple personal reputation system. This reputation system sometimes determines the quality of a businessman's business and cannot be careless. Zhao Zhengxiong is from the grassroots and has been arguing for his whole life. Of course, he can understand the spirit of contracts. However, everyone passed on his word and each other has become a tacit unspoken rule. Now, the unspoken rules rooted in the minds of merchants, such as the spirit of fair transactions and reputation systems, have become regulations in the laws, which makes him a little difficult to accept. In the final analysis, he still does not trust and discriminate against us merchants.

Zhao Zhengxiong looked up and saw Zhu Zhi looking at him with a smile. He felt a chill in his heart. What does the King of Liao mean? The provisions of this law are full of flowers and flowers are very clear. But when have you ever seen the government and the people reasoning? Is it a natural thing for the government to take it? As long as the government does not do it too much, the people can tolerate it. As long as an emperor is ungrateful and exempts taxes for two years, the people will not burn incense and fulfill their wishes. Therefore, Zhao Zhengxiong was skeptical about the law and put the small notebook on the table. Coincidentally, Chang Kun snorted with a light nose and put the small notebook on the table.

Wu Tianci said with a smile: "Okay, the decree formulated by Your Highness is very effective for us merchants. Your Highness is really far-sighted and wise."

Zhu Zhi was not interested in these painless flatteries at all, but he saw the slight movements of Zhao Zhengxiong and Chang Kun. Zhu Zhi felt a little depressed. This was the effort that Yao Shan spent a whole month to establish and corrected for three days. But then he thought about it, this was not a YY novel. If he patted his shoulder and gave him some sweetness, he would be happy and devoted. The traditional thoughts of thousands of years could not be transformed by a small notebook.

Zhu Zhi was not discouraged when he thought of this. Take it slowly. People's hearts are changing little by little. No one is stupid. If you don't see actual actions, who can believe it even if you draw a beautiful big cake. Zhu Zhi said: "I want you to take the lead and recruit all the merchants in Liaodong to see it, and then give some suggestions. After all, I am afraid that what we think of is out of reality. In the future, we will publicly announce this list and let the people of Liaodong give opinions together. Please." Seeing Zhu Zhi say this, several merchants responded involuntarily.

Zhu Zhi said: "There is another thing. I have a few transactions here. I want to discuss them with everyone. See if I can use your experience and strength to make these transactions."

The four people below looked at me and looked at you. The screams in their hearts were not good. What was coming was coming. But everyone still listened with interest without showing it.

Zhu Zhi said, "How about you follow me to the back camp?" Everyone was not right to follow me, so they followed him respectfully and walked towards the back camp. When they came to the tent behind, they saw everything in the tent, such as a recliner covered with a layer of leather on the surface, a fur robe with sleeves, a fur robe with a new style, and an iron bucket connected to a piece of iron tube.

Zhu Zhi waved his hand and said, "These are some things that I have made to craftsmen. You are all experts here, so please see if you give me some advice."

Zhu Zhi took the fur robe and greeted a maid in and asked her to put it on. Zhao Zhengxiong's eyes lit up. How could this robe made of fox fur be so noble when worn by this servant? Zhu Zhi also asked the maid to walk a few steps back and forth, and Zhao Zhengxiong became more and more interested in it the more he looked at it.

Zhu Zhi put down Zhao Zhengxiong and admired him alone, and then led Wu Tianci to the recliner. There were thick cushions on it, and the backrest was also thick cushions, all wrapped in a layer of cowhide. Zhu Zhi smiled and said, "This is called a sofa, it's so comfortable to sit up. Wouldn't you try it?" Wu Tianci hurriedly sat down. As soon as he sat down, he fell into a thick cushion. It was indeed much more comfortable to sit on a mahogany chair.

Zhu Zhi led Chang Kun to the iron barrel and said, "This is called a coal stove. Look at the coal placed in it. After it is burned, a kettle can be placed on it to boil water. As soon as the coal slag is pumped, it will fall and then be taken out of this small hole. The rotten gas produced by the coal combustion can be discharged from this iron pipe. In winter, you can press such a stove at home to connect the chimney outside the house. Hehe, it's so warm. And I know that producing coal in Liaodong is much cheaper than burning carbon. Do you think this thing is convenient?"

Chang Kun looked at an iron stove in surprise, thinking about what Zhu Zhi said, and the more he looked, the more interesting it was. This coal stove used by almost every household in the north was not in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the people in the north had to keep warm at most to burn kangs, and wealthy families could use expensive charcoal as fuel to keep heating.
