In ancient times, there was a businessman who wrote classical Chinese.

1. What are the outstanding politicians and big businessmen in "Ancient Business Essays"? He also has some noteworthy economic management ideas, such as benefiting farmers and benefiting both agriculture.

According to Records of Historical Records and Biography of Huo Zhi, Fan Li believed that the husband was ill, and the farmer was ill for 20 years and was terminally ill for 90 years. If the disease reaches the late stage, the money will not be earned, and agricultural diseases will not be planted. If you don't go up to 80 or subtract 30, you will benefit from the end of the farm. There is no shortage of peace and harmony, and there is no shortage of ways to govern the country. "The main point above is that the price of food crops is too low, which will harm the interests of farmers. If farmers are damaged and don't work hard, farmland will be abandoned. If the food price is too high, it will harm the interests of industrialists and businessmen. If no one is engaged in business, it will make the economy difficult. If the food price is as low as 20, it will harm farmers, and if the food price is as high as 90, it will harm industry and commerce. If the price of grain is not lower than 30 and not higher than 80, it will be beneficial to agriculture and industry and commerce. If we can "even things out" like this, there will be no shortage of checkpoints and markets. Isn't this the way to govern the country?

As for his use of "late" instead of "industry and commerce" according to the custom since the end of the Warring States period, it was his own change. This point has been pointed out by predecessors. It should also be noted that if the price of grain is limited to not less than 30 and not more than 80, it is said in Yue Jue Ji Shu Ni Neijing that "twenty stones hurt farmers and ninety stones die". The price of this grain per stone is roughly equivalent to the millet price mentioned by Li Kui in the Warring States Period and the valley price in the Han Dynasty. This may also be an example of Han people expressing Fan Li's thoughts with their habits at that time. Nevertheless, these minor changes have not diminished the brilliance of Fan Li's thought that "all benefits will come from the end of agriculture".

There is a classical Chinese article about fishermen and businessmen. When a businessman was crossing the river, his boat capsized. He grabbed the weeds floating in the water and shouted for help. The fisherman who was fishing nearby heard it and rowed over to save him. The businessman said, "I am a rich man. If you save me, I will give you one hundred and twenty pieces of silver. Can you save me? " The fisherman saved him and sent him to the shore. The merchant gave him twelve taels of silver. The fisherman said, "You promised to give me a hundred taels, but now you give me twelve taels. Is that all right? " Hearing this, the businessman was full of anger. He said, "Just like fishing, you can only earn a few dollars a day. Isn't it enough for you to get twelve taels of silver at once? " The fisherman left without saying a word. Another day, the merchant crossed the river and the boat capsized-_-||. The fisherman is next to the businessman who fell into the water. He looked at it and said,' This is the man who said he didn't have enough money.' The desperate businessman rowed away alone, and soon the businessman sank.

3. What should the ancients say from the ancient commercial prose?

"Sit in business" or "sit in business".

Jia g incarnation

In the old saying, it is often used to express business and trade, such as: "hoard treasures, find good ones, and then sell them", "Since I married a businessman in Qutang, he has not kept his promise every day".

Today, "Shang" has basically replaced "Jia", but the word "Shang" still exists.

The information comes from asking a classmate who sent it to me (I don't know where he came from for the time being).

Sitting in Jia Hangshang (zuò gǔ xíng shāng)

Commentary: Jia is a businessman. Businessmen sit and businessmen walk. In ancient times, merchants were mobile sellers, and Jia was a person who opened a shop and sold things at a fixed address. This is called "a businessman sitting on a horse". Now it generally refers to commercial buyers and sellers.
