Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

Because this big merchant wants a large quantity of mushrooms.

For this large transaction, the government can collect taxes on both sides, and the people in Rucheng government also take it very seriously.

When the news that the big merchants wanted to purchase mushrooms came, it was the people from the government who went to inform the farmers in the mountains.

It is not easy to come out of the mountains. When farmers from farther away bring the mushrooms, the big merchants have already left.

The farmers complained and gathered at the gate of the government office to cause trouble.

When common people cause unrest, it affects the performance of local officials and can easily lead to greater conflicts.

So the people in the government office sent people to chase the big merchants and contacted other small merchants to see if there would be anyone coming to buy.

Merchants have their own sources of information.

In Rucheng, where the situation is like this, with farmers who have no integrity and are extremely greedy, no one is willing to come to small businesses.

The big merchant said that he still wanted the mushrooms, but the quality could not be guaranteed and he would not accept them even if they were sold to him at a low price.

And he didn't want to deal with those cheating farmers anymore.

When I was at a loss, someone gave me an idea.

Let another local person named Zhang San come to collect the mushrooms, and then sell them directly to the big merchants at the purchasing price.

This Zhang San is a local tyrant, well-known in both the black and white worlds.

As soon as the government office contacted Zhang San, he took the job.

In the end, Zhang San bought out all the mushrooms from the mushroom farmer at half the original price, and they were without the stems.

Then, with the help of people from the yamen, all the mushrooms were sold to the big merchants at the price they paid, and it was agreed that the transaction would be carried out at this price every year.

The big merchant finally got the mushrooms he wanted.

The government office quelled a disturbance, facilitated a business deal, and collected the taxes that should be collected.

Zhang San, with one in and one out, made a net profit of 80%.

The mushroom farmer lost all his efforts. Not only did he sell the mushrooms at a low price that year, but he was also targeted by Zhang San. From then on, he could only sell the mushrooms to Zhang San at a low price.

"The teacher asked us to think about what we saw in this story. What would we do if it were us?"

Zhu Zhanji was very accustomed to this way of teaching by his teachers.

"What did you answer?"

Xu frowned as she listened to the story.

Several children were very excited and started talking and gesticulating. Some said that Zhang San and Li Si were bad guys, and some said that the farmers were bad guys.

Zhu Anle, Zhu Zhiming, Wei Shi, and Zhu Gaoxu all joined in and began to express their opinions:

"The big merchants are a bit stupid. Labor is cheap in the countryside, and it's not difficult to cut off the stems of mushrooms."

"Yes, he wants so much. It's not cost-effective to increase the price by 30%, and it will also increase the appetite of farmers."

"I think the merchants are right. The goods are of high quality and low price. It's just that the poor and remote areas give rise to unruly people, who ruin the good things that are delivered to their doorsteps!"

"That's not it. If I had refused the mushroom with a handle the first time I received it, the following wouldn't have happened. Once the bottom line is broken, there is no bottom line anymore."

"Aunt is right. I think so too."

"The big merchants didn't stick to their bottom line, which led to the troubles later. The government was also not good. After they had made arrangements, why didn't they follow through? They allowed the farmers to destroy the integrity of Rucheng. After this incident, Rucheng will definitely have a very bad reputation among the merchants."

"If I go, I'll fuck him!"

"There are only a few big merchants, and there are many farmers. We can't defeat them."

"Yes, I encountered this the last time I went out to sea. It's forced buying and selling. It means running fast, otherwise--"

"Yes, I think he is too nice. He looks easy to bully, so people bully him. Just like Princess Nankang."

“Good people can’t be businessmen and make a lot of money.”

"Will no one grow mushrooms anymore?"

"If it were me, I wouldn't plant it! I worked so hard, but that Zhang San got the advantage for nothing."

"The farmers are bad and are the ones who started the riot!"

"This is not a good story. Good people are not rewarded. Honest people are bullied while bad people make a lot of money."

"A good local government management is very important. If they intervene first, nothing will happen."

"Did Zhang San bully the farmers? Otherwise, why would the farmers agree to sell at half the price? If you try to gain a small advantage, you will suffer a big loss."

"Zhang San should always do this kind of thing."

"This happens a lot in the countryside. There are Zhang San and Li Si in every place."

"According to the law, Zhang San is a bully and should go to jail."

"Then we have to arrest the people in the government office first."

"It's really hard to be an ordinary person. Farmers who honestly cut mushroom stems and sold mushrooms honestly are being tossed around like this and sold at half the price. How can they support their families?"

"The product is so good, why doesn't the government take care of selling it to the big restaurants? Why does Zhang San keep squeezing the farmers?"

“So, you can’t be an honest person!”

"You must be honest in everything you do, otherwise there will be backlash. You must have a long-term vision. If you only seek immediate benefits, there will be no long-term returns. I think that the local tyrant Zhang San knows Li Si, who gave him several hundred kilograms of stemmed mushrooms. They are in collusion. There is also the government office."

"..."

Several people said this one by one, and Zhu Gaochi twitched as he listened.

It feels like the little ones find this class much more interesting than when he was a child.

This is a story about a mushroom handle, but it can be applied to anything and become a question worth thinking about.

Tea leaves, bamboo shoots...

And the greed of mankind is like a snake swallowing an elephant.

Everyone was originally doing business well, but there were always some clever people who came up with some small tricks, and in the end the waves caused by their own boat capsized and also capsized everyone else's boat.

Eliminating evil and promoting good is a long and arduous task.

"What do you think, Fatty? What would you do if you encountered such a thing?"

Zhu Di asked when he saw Zhu Zhanji didn't say anything while everyone was chattering.

"If I were that big merchant, I wouldn't raise the price. I would say I want mushrooms without stems, only without stems. And I'd pay half the price for the cut mushroom stems. Mother used those stems to make mushroom sauce, which is delicious and chewier than mushrooms."

Zhu Zhanji answered very seriously.

"What if you were the government?"

Zhu Di asked.

"Find someone to sell mushrooms, and the government will pay him a monthly salary."

"What if you were Zhang San?"

Zhu Gaochi also interjected.
