"Mr. Matt, if I go to the Western Regions, will your monarch accept me as an Easterner?"
Song Changji refilled a cup of tea for Matt and asked.
"We are a country that values the strong. You are the most successful businessman in Daning Country. If you go to our country, you will definitely receive warm hospitality from the monarch!"
Matt speaks Daning dialect, although the intonation is a bit strange and the pronunciation of some words is not accurate, but there is still no problem in understanding it.
"Would your monarch warmly entertain a businessman?"
Song Changji was very surprised!
Because in the Daning Dynasty, merchants were the class with the lowest social status. Although he was now the richest man in Jiangnan, according to Daning regulations, he had to kneel down and worship even if he saw a seventh-grade county magistrate!
As for the monarch’s warm hospitality? I would never even dream of it!
"Yes! In our country, successful businessmen and generals who conquer cities and territories are both strong men. There is no difference in their status! If Mr. Song is willing to go to our country, with your financial resources and super powerful
With business ability, you will not only receive warm hospitality from our monarch, but may also be awarded the title of nobility by our monarch!"
Matt had frequent contact with Song Changji and was already very familiar with him. He knew what Song Changji wanted most, so he deliberately used this matter to seduce him!
Sure enough, after hearing Matt's last words, Song Changji's heart immediately jumped!
I don’t know if it’s because he has become the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. He no longer has much interest in money, but he is always worried about the fact that he was forced to interrupt the imperial examination because he was framed!
Because of the ancestral system of Daning that emphasized agriculture and neglected commerce, after he embarked on the road of doing business, it meant that in the Daning Dynasty, he would never be able to become an official again in his life, let alone be knighted!
Not only him, but also the descendants of his sect have been branded as "merchants", unable to enter the officialdom and can only become untouchables in Daning!
This is also the reason why he has never married or had children even though he is nearly thirty years old!
Because he doesn’t want his descendants to suffer like this!
But now, Matt has pointed out a brand new path for him!
Head to the Western Region!
In the Western Regions, a successful businessman actually has the same social status as a general who conquers cities and territories. Not only can he receive warm hospitality from the monarch, he can even be knighted and enter the aristocratic class!
For him, this temptation is too great!
In fact, last fall, when he and Matt were drinking, he heard Matt say that merchants have a high status in the Western Regions, and that in a sense, the Western Regions are in the hands of merchants.
At that moment, he had the idea of going to the Western Regions for development!
However, he only had some thoughts and did not really want to develop in the Western Regions.
First, he couldn't be sure whether what Matt said was true or false.
Secondly, all his assets are in Daning. It is extremely difficult to dispose of all these assets and carry them to the Western Regions! Even if he wants to leave, those who regard him as a cash cow will
I will definitely not let him leave! This chapter has been completed!
