Cargo colonization: Literally, money reproduction, refers to the act or person who makes a profit in business. Shi Gong alone devotes a super long page to writing about the economic activities and laws of more than 2,000 years ago, as the final work of "Shiji", the finale is enough to see its peak degree.
From Shi Gong's writing, we see some views and ideas of the ancients on business and wealth, and as the "Legend of Goods and Colonies" is approaching the end of the "Shiji", my worship of Shi Gong has also reached the highest point of excitement for reading, reading it twice in a row, word by word, and reading through the literary text.
This "Legend of Goods" in the "History" more than 2,000 years ago can be called the world's earliest economic work, from the emergence of commercial merchants in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, to the emergence of people's gradual pursuit of wealth, which is the inevitable law of the development of things. To state some of the remarks of famous merchants in the pre-Qin period, let us see the witty merchants of that time, when they concluded that "expensive as dung, cheap as pearl jade." "The law of the market, this theory is a super trading master, even if it is placed in today's stock market!"
Shi Gong explained the necessity of business transactions by recording the geographical morphology, native products, and customs and people of various regions throughout the country at that time. It also allows us to see the land of China more than 2,000 years ago, a vibrant natural and cultural landscape. Excerpt from the original text of the example sentence: "The people in the mountains are thin, there are sand dunes and the remnants of the land, the folk customs are anxious, the opportunity is advantageous and eaten, the husband gathers to play, the sad song is generous, and the beginning is followed by the spine, and Hugh digs the grave to make a clever and treacherous work, and there are many beautiful things, for the advocate." The woman drummed, stomped, traveled to the rich and noble, entered the harem, and went all over the princes. "Oh my God! It is really frightening that the ancestors turned out to be such a social custom phenomenon!
Talking about the role of wealth in the formation of human society and human activities, he affirmed that the pursuit of wealth is the inevitability of human nature. For example, "The rich are humble, the uncle is afraid, a thousand are servants, and ten thousand are servants." He also said: "Agriculture is not as good as labor, industry is not as good as commerce, and embroidery is not as good as according to the city gate." "In fact, these status in terms of wealth and professionalism are now also an intangible measure.
Let's say "Walk out of the top" today, and see what Shi Gong said more than 2,000 years ago, "It's all sincere; Rich without business" ~ sincerity and dedication, single-mindedness, all walks of life, can get rich. Whether it is agriculture, industry, commerce, Yu (for the development, collection, utilization of large natural resources, ancient special occupation), all walks of life have the top people who have become rich and successful, and there are opportunities to make a fortune, the key is that you have to study deeply and persist consistently. Being willing to work hard to become an elite in a certain field is really a golden saying that applies throughout the present day.
Business is like being a man, Shi Gong's exposition is extremely incisive, it is completely the ceiling of economic scholarship, after reading this article, it is not too much to worship Shi Gong and bow down.
