Chapter 778: chapter_778

The primary way merchants make money is by buying low and selling high, profiting from the difference. Many merchants don't actually produce goods; they simply transport them from one place to another and sell them, earning substantial profits.

In feudal times, this practice was often viewed as opportunistic, benefiting without contributing to production. Consequently, most rulers disliked merchants.

However, in Jin Feng's view, a country's healthy development is inseparable from commerce.
