Capital avoids turmoil and strife; its nature is timid. This is true, but it is not the whole truth. Capital is afraid of no profit or too little profit, just like nature is afraid of a vacuum. Once there are appropriate profits, capital becomes bolder.
If there is a ten percent profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere;
With a profit of 20%, it becomes active;
If there is a 100% profit, it will take desperate risks;
For the sake of 100% profit, it dares to trample all human laws;
With a profit of 300%, it dares to commit any crime, even risking being hanged.
It encourages unrest and strife if it brings profits. Smuggling and the slave trade are proof of this.
Thomas J. Denning's "Trade Unions and Strikes" describes the essence of capital and the essence of most businessmen.
In the face of interests, many people can do things that make even beasts feel powerless.
Businessmen, what they want is to earn more and pay less tax.
The result is that once disaster strikes, in order to maximize their profits, they will hoard food and sell it at high prices. Even if they force the people to die, force them to rebel, and plunge the country into turmoil, they will not look back. @ESSENTIAL\/SHUKEG·No mistake first release~~
In order to pay less taxes, it is normal to make false accounts and bribe officials. They don't care about the lack of taxes from the country, how to pay the officials, how to pay the soldiers, or where the country will get the money for disaster relief when the people encounter disasters. ,
Even though they knew that they colluded with corrupt officials and deliberately owed taxes, just to push the country to death, they still sat there without hesitation.
Anyone who is unwilling to be a slave to the subjugation of the country and wants to change will die in their strangulation.
"You are businessmen, and there is nothing wrong with pursuing profits, but the prerequisite for you to be businessmen is that you are human beings, people of the Ming Dynasty. Although you did not say it directly, I already know clearly what you want to say.
I want to tell you here that anyone who embezzles donated items from others is not considered a human being.
Those who betray their country for profit are not considered human beings.
During times of famine, those who hoard goods and drive the people to death are not considered human beings.
You businessmen, there is nothing wrong with making money, but don’t forget that while you are making money, you also have your own obligations.
You abide by the law and make money honestly. I will not ask you to share your wealth, but if you use your brains wrongly, I will let you know what it means to be ruthless in the law.
Don't always think that just because you are rich is great. Among the Jin merchants who had illicit affairs and built slaves, which one is not richer than you, and which one is not more powerful than you?
I'll uproot them anyway.
There are also those officials who collected money. Most of them are now in prison, waiting to be executed. "
“The sky is vast and the earth is vast, the destiny of the Ming Dynasty and the law of the Ming Dynasty are the greatest.
Anyone who dares to trample on the laws of the Ming Dynasty will not be spared lightly by me, nor will the two million elites of the Ming Dynasty be spared lightly, nor will the 40 million common people who are unwilling to be slaves to the subjugation of their country! "
From Zhu Youjian's perspective, we should be strict when dealing with these businessmen. Let businessmen not dare to pass off inferior goods as good ones, and dare not be short-changed.
Not to mention other things, but from the medical industry, what merchants buy and sell is not only the medicinal materials, but also related to the health and life safety of the people! .
