Since there is space, it is naturally the best to buy it for 0 yuan

"Boss Shen, you are so young, but you speak so mysteriously. I don't quite understand what you say. How can you prove that what you do is God's will? How do you know?" Boss Qin said with a smile.

"We have been pursuing truth, goodness and beauty and talking about "virtue" since ancient times. You should have no doubt about this. Just like some people will say that you lack great virtue or that you have seriously lost your virtue when scolding others. This is a very harsh and negative evaluation of people.

Therefore, "virtue" is what the Tao advocates, and for us mortals, making money is just a means of making a living, and cultivating good virtues is the subject of our life. The two cannot be reversed. I make money to pave the way for cultivating virtues.

It is not to make money for the sake of making money. When I follow the way of heaven and act according to the standard of "virtue", these silvers are given more value and meaning, rather than their original circulation value and purchasing value.

Just like what I said just now, when I use the money I earn to help more people, my life will become more meaningful. For example, if there is a flood in a certain place, more people will survive because of the medicine and food I provide.

As long as I think about how I saved so many people with my meager efforts, I feel a sense of accomplishment that nothing else can give me. For example, because of the food and grass I provided, our soldiers were well fed and watered, and became stronger.

Therefore, I was able to defend the border and save more ordinary people from the suffering of war. This sense of accomplishment is something that I can't get even if I spend money elsewhere. With my own meager efforts, I have made the world a better place. This kind of spiritual wealth cannot be replaced by anything else. "

Boss Xue continued, "What you said makes sense. It seems that the money we spent was really valuable."

"That's right. There is a saying: Do good things without asking about the future. I think this makes a lot of sense. We just do our own thing. It doesn't matter what others say or how they evaluate us. What's important is that I always know what I'm doing.

Even if no one praises me, and no one knows what I have done specifically, it doesn’t matter, I don’t care. But the heavens must know, and the earth must know, and that’s enough. People can deceive others, but heaven will not. What I have given will always be returned to me in other ways, love is what you give. "

Boss Xue said directly: "I seem to understand, but I also seem not to understand. How about you just tell me what we should do?" He really didn't understand, and felt that the explanation was too roundabout.

Shen Ru thought for a moment before speaking again: "There are many people who have the same idea as you, right? Do you have any idea to set up a chamber of commerce?"

"Chamber of Commerce?"

Shen Ruyi affirmed: "Yes, when setting up a chamber of commerce, there are requirements for the members who join. They must be righteous merchants. They cannot maliciously exploit the living space of ordinary people. Of course, normal business should be done as it should be. There is no need to look for someone to be a backer. Whenever something big happens in our country, we just need to lend a hand. Spend a small amount of money to do great things."

"That's because we have no support. What's the point of us just getting together?"

"Why is it useless? As long as we can lend a hand when the country is in trouble, it means we are thinking for the government and solving the problem for the government. The government will stand behind us."

The other two were lost in thought.

Didn't Emperor Qianlong know that Heshen was so greedy? No, he definitely knew, and not only knew, but he knew it very well. So why did he keep it?

Shen Ruyi guessed that it was because Heshen was so good at handling things, and he could always think about what the emperor was worried about and what he wanted. Every step he took must have touched Qianlong's heart, making the emperor feel that he was particularly considerate and reluctant to take action.

Another reason is that the money Heshen embezzled was neatly stored in his palace, with no funds flowing out. On the surface, those properties and treasures belonged to Heshen, but in fact, they were not. Heshen was accumulating wealth for the emperor. The emperor could take back all the money with interest at any time.

Moreover, the emperor himself was also a human being, and humans have selfish desires. Since he had selfish desires, he would definitely choose to make the people suffer instead of himself. Perhaps Heshen's extortion of the people was something he acquiesced in.

He wanted the money, but he didn't want to be criticized, so people like Heshen existed, and they thrived. It seems that Heshen was greedy, but it is better to say that Emperor Qianlong was scheming, had bad character, and didn't care about the common people.

Of course, there was one final reason. Heshen was kept alive for the future Emperor Jiaqing to establish his authority and reputation after ascending the throne. He would have money and fame, which was a great thing. But the lives of ordinary people did not get better.

Because the money that Heshen embezzled from the people eventually ended up in the national treasury and never flowed back.

This is a bit far-fetched. Shen Ruyi is unwilling to let these people contact the emperor directly. Who knows if the emperor's temperament will change in the future?

If she gave him so many purses, who knew if he would become arrogant and presumptuous, but she, Shen Ruyi, would become a sinner.

At the same time, she was also worried that these businessmen would step on her in order to climb up, which would be disgusting. After all, the resources are limited, and the government's attention is limited. If there are more people, the share she can get will naturally become less.

This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that when the officials have enough money, they are provoked by these people and then point the guns at themselves, which is very annoying.

So after much thought, it would be better to set up a chamber of commerce, formulate a general guideline, and allow everyone to be organized and disciplined, use a certain amount of money to do charity and do good deeds, so that we can have a good reputation while maintaining a certain degree of independence.

In order to avoid being too closely tied to the government, it would not be a good thing for either party as it would involve too many risks and variables.

"Are you sure that if we do this, the government will stand on our side?" Boss Qin asked uncertainly.

"That's for sure. As long as you do it, I or the young prince will tell the emperor about your achievement. What's more, the emperor's understanding and control over the capital is beyond your imagination. He knows a lot about the capital. That's all I can say. You can figure out how to do it specifically. So, I said, do good things and don't ask about the future. Just do it and you're done." Shen Ruyi emphasized at last.

She had to find more people to do this with her. Her power was too small, so she could only fool as many people as she could. Besides, she was not talking nonsense. Doing good deeds could indeed accumulate merits. It could also improve the government's favor.

Isn't she the best example? When the government first knew who she was, it was only slowly, slowly, as they came into contact more and more that they became what they are now, with such tacit understanding.
