Carloads of grain appeared in front of the grain store and were unloaded immediately.
"Real goods!" The boy opened a bag and found grains inside.
"Each household has a limited purchase limit." A sergeant shouted: "According to the household registration, each household purchases and registers."
Someone asked: "What about buying it twice?"
"Look there." The sergeant pointed to the side, where more than ten men were basking in the scorching sun. "It will take a month to repair the city! Whoever wants to learn from them, just come!"
"If you don't come, you won't come!"
One month, no more work at home!
The gain outweighs the loss.
"Yang Gou has brought food again!"
The powerful people at the gathering were stunned.
"what to do?"
"If we don't sell it, the people will buy enough food. Who will we sell our food to?"
"yes!"
"Quiet!"
Sun Xian shouted, and after everyone calmed down, he said: "A 30% price reduction, can we afford it?"
Everyone was silent.
Grain grows in the fields every year, and every year they sell the grain that is close to its shelf life. The income is almost fixed every year.
If you lose 30%, a lot of your family’s expenses will be affected.
Sun Xian said: "In that case, let's see how much food Yang Gou can get. I don't believe it!"
"good!"
Everyone has a sense of luck.
Maybe Yang Gou can last for one day at most.
Tomorrow, everything will be business as usual.
The sun will rise as usual, the tenants will farm the land for themselves as usual, the price of food will return to its original state, and your days will continue to be prosperous and long.
Sun Xian said: "The gods only protect smart people. Smart people will become rich people. Only rich people can make offerings to the gods. The gods also need to eat and drink, right?"
Everyone nodded.
"And stupid people will become poor. The poor cannot serve the gods, so they will be poor for generations. And we, our wealth will continue for thousands of years. Our children and grandchildren will always be superior and wealthy.
"
A servant brought drinks.
Sun Yan raised his glass and said, "Everyone, please wait for us to be rich and prosperous for thousands of years."
Tsk!
…
"In the Tang Dynasty, there was always a group of people who were rich and powerful. Later, after taking the imperial examination, occasionally ordinary people's children would leap over the dragon's gate and become great men, but such examples are too rare."
Han Ji and Yang Xuan were drinking.
Right at the Han family.
Yang Xuan took a sip of wine, and Han Ying came in with a plate of vegetables. Yang Xuan smiled and said, "That's about it. We're not outsiders!"
Han Ying lowered her head, "It's rare for the deputy envoy to come."
"It's not that it's hard to come here, it's that Han is stingy!" Yang Xuan pointed at Han Ji, and the two smiled at each other.
Yang Xuan asked: "Just tell me what kind of husband you want to find."
Han Ying raised her head slightly, with a calm expression, "I have never thought about this."
Yang Xuan shook his head, but couldn't persuade him any more.
"This daughter! It gives me a headache." Han Ji smiled bitterly, "Children are debts!"
Ah Liang is still young, so he should be good in the future... Yang Xuan continued the previous topic, "Studying costs money, and for ordinary people, studying is something that is elusive but unattainable.
The common people have passed the imperial examination, but in fact the so-called common people are also the children of officials and officials, they are just from ordinary backgrounds."
Han Ji nodded, "Therefore, the poor will still be poor, and the rich will still be rich."
"No, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer." Yang Xuan picked up a piece of dried meat and it was a good drink. "For ordinary people, if they want to change their background, there are only two ways, joining the army or
read.
To join the army is to use one's own life to find a way among thousands of troops. Only one person in ten thousand will succeed.
And compared with them, who are illiterate, those who are born into generals, those who are powerful officials, those who are...even the children of local powerful people, are more likely to be promoted in the army."
Han Ji put a chopstick on the table, "So, most of the road to join the army is blocked."
Yang Xuan nodded, "The cost of studying is not small. Although there are official schools in prefectures and counties, how many people can the official schools accommodate? With so few places, how can ordinary people compete with the local powerful, local landowners, businessmen, and officials?
In the end, the official school became a place for local elites to train their children, while the common people still faced the earth with their backs to the sky."
Han Ji squinted his eyes, "Lang Jun saw through the barrier between the common people and the carnivores at a glance, I..." He stood up and held his hands in his hands, "I have learned a lesson."
"Why so!" Yang Xuan smiled.
"I have thought about the various shortcomings of the Tang Dynasty, such as the annexation of land, and the dim officialdom... But Lang Jun saw the crux of the problem at a glance, reading!"
Han Ji's admiration was sincere and he couldn't help but feel happy, "How come these meat-eaters from aristocratic families, dignitaries, and local tycoons can be rich and prosperous for generations?
I'm not bragging. During those years in Chang'an, I also met many powerful people. If you want to say that those people are as resourceful as the sea, it's just a joke. Many people are so stupid that it's unbelievable, even stupider than a pig."
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "They are stupid, but they have an advantage."
"What?"
"Will be reincarnated!"
Han Ji was startled, "This is so wonderful!"
Yang Xuan said: "Many places even set artificial restrictions and do not allow civilian children to study. Why?"
Han Ji smiled meanly, "Those idiots who are worse than pigs are worried that if they let this hole open, the people will follow this hole and rise to the top. But there are so many benefits in the world, and they don't have enough for themselves. How can they be willing to give in?
Someone come and take a share of the pie?”
"I call this monopoly!" Yang Xuan took a sip of wine. "In order to monopolize the benefits that a class can obtain at the moment, it blocks the access to that class. This is monopoly."
"Monopoly." Han Ji said with a smile: "In my opinion, this is more like greed! These people are as greedy as beasts and as greedy as gluttons." He was suddenly startled, "Lang Jun is in Taiping and started his business in Chenzhou.
Most of the students in the school are civilians..."
Could it be that Lang Jun has been trying to solve this problem since then?
Yang Xuan nodded slightly.
Han Ji was excited and said, "Sure enough, I got it right, Lang Jun..."
Damn it! Does this old guy want to say that I have ambitions a long time ago?
Yang Xuan coughed dryly, and Han Ji sat upright with bright eyes, "If the common people can enter that class, they will become a force and disrupt the current situation. By then..."
"The power of the aristocratic families will gradually disintegrate, and the inherent structure of the powerful will be affected. And what I want to do more is..." Yang Xuan raised his head and drank from the glass of wine.
"Pull those fools who think they are gods from the shrines, step on them a few times, and let them roll with the maggots in the ground. Let the people of the world know that in this world, everyone is the same and no one is better than them."
Who is noble!"
"This..." Han Ji was a little shocked by Yang Xuan's attitude, "If this is the case, it will be earth-shaking!"
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "If you don't change all this, even if you, Han Ji, become prime minister, are you willing to let civilians pass the imperial examination?"
Han Ji thought for a long time with a serious face, then shook his head with difficulty, "I'm afraid it's... difficult!"
"What are you thinking about?" Yang Xuan looked at him and asked.
Han Ji said slowly: "I'm thinking, if we let them come up, what will happen to my children and grandchildren? There are only so many official positions in the world, and they come up, what will happen to my children and grandchildren who could have been a shadow? People don't care for themselves. ,Destroyed by heaven and earth!"
"You can think like this, what about others? What will those aristocratic families who have inherited the wine for many years think?" Yang Xuan picked up the wine pot and drank it heartily.
"What does the gentleman mean?"
Yang Xuan put the wine bottle on the table, wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth, and said with a stern look, "I want to smash everything!"
…
"Zhongcheng."
Sun Yan is here. As a surrendered general, he has no foundation in northern Xinjiang. His only support is Liao Jin.
Liao Jing was in the study, and Sun Yan noticed that what he was reading was actually a book on war, and he couldn't help but feel sad... Liao Jin could no longer ride a horse.
"Yeah!" Liao Jing snorted softly.
Sun Yan's heart skipped a beat and he stood up, "Deputy Envoy Yang smashed a lot of grain, and now the price of grain in the market has been reduced by 30%. The people in the city came in droves...the powerful people were watching with cold eyes."
"Thirty percent?" Liao Jin put down the scroll and rubbed his eyebrows. A servant came over and rubbed his shoulders.
"Yes." Sun Yan glanced at Liao Jin, "I wonder where Deputy Ambassador Yang got so much food. Now many people are worried..."
"What are you worried about?" Liao Jin waved his hand and the servant resigned, "Worried about not having enough food?"
Sun Yan nodded, "Yes."
"A bunch of idiots!" Liao Jin shook his head and said sarcastically: "Isn't it the dispute between his wife and the powerful men that started it?"
"Yes." Sun Yan said, "For more than 300,000 yuan of food, Deputy Ambassador Yang's wife is riding a tiger and can't get off."
So Yang Xuan went into battle shirtless.
"If Yang Xuan was to maintain food prices, it would be a battle of wills. But he is suppressing food prices...
I can't come forward, he is now almost the controller of Northern Xinjiang.
The controller of Northern Xinjiang actually started a food price war with the powerful people just for the sake of their will. Do you want to say that my husband is blind, or that I am an idiot?"
Sun Yan was shocked, "Zhong Cheng..."
Liao Jin sneered, "If we keep suppressing grain prices by 30%, who will benefit?
To think about something, you have to look at who benefits from it and who suffers from it.
Although I don’t know the plan behind him, it is the common people who benefit from this matter, and the powerful ones who suffer...
The powerful must sell a batch of grain every year, otherwise it will rot in the warehouse, and those greedy fools will be heartbroken to death.
With grain prices reduced by 30%, are they willing to sell?
I bet those idiots won't let you go!
But when people have enough food in their homes, who will they sell their food to?"
Sun Yan was shocked, "But how much food does that cost? How much does it cost?"
Liao Jin waved his hand and Sun Yan resigned.
After he left, Liao Jin asked people to carry him to the yard.
"Mr. Lang, it's too sunny." The steward advised, "It would be cooler under the eaves."
"Those powerful men were left in the sun by Yang Xuan at this moment. A group of idiots didn't know it and were complacent." Liao Jin raised his head, "I just came to feel the feeling of being exposed."
"Hot!" Liao Jin touched his hair and felt that it was getting hot, "Those fools thought Yang Xuan had no money... The accumulation of the three departments over the years could make the country as rich as any.
My husband had tacitly allowed Yang Xuan to swallow the money, but he never saw Yang Xuan use it.
My husband also laughed at him for being a miser.
It happened so long ago that I almost forgot about it, let alone those idiots.
Yang Xuan holds such a huge sum of money in his hand and throws it down... the price of food?
I bet that Yang Xuan just did it casually to deal with those idiots, but those idiots are still facing a formidable enemy..."
He shook his head, "Damn, it's too hot."
He looked at the ground blankly, "What does that kid want to do?"
Food is being delivered in a steady stream.
The powerful men cannot sit still.
"Where did he get so much money?" someone roared.
"What should I do?" Some people feel like they are mourning for their heirs.
While the powerful men were struggling, Yang Xuan was having a barbecue in the backyard.
The best mutton is marinated, put on skewers, and grilled over charcoal fire.
"It's squeaky and oily!" Jiang He'er squatted beside him and slapped his hands, salivating.
Chef Yang Xuan took a bunch to Zhou Ning behind him. Zhou Ning tasted a piece and asked: "There is no smell of mutton. When did Zitai learn to barbecue?"
Yang Xuan turned over the lot and said, "When I was hunting in Dongyu Mountain, the meat was so smelly that I thought of many ways to do it. When it comes to barbecue, I would say second place. No one in the world dares to say first place."
His own experience, coupled with the various techniques he saw in the scroll, made Yang Xuan confident: "Even if I stop being an official and open a restaurant, I can still become the richest man in the world!"
"Meat!"
The eldest young master came out and screamed when he smelled the meat, but now he couldn't eat it.
Yang Xuan brought the meat skewers to his mouth and quickly took them away.
Seeing A Liang's flat mouth, Zhou Ning quickly coaxed him, and then said angrily, "How could you do this?"
Jiang Heer asked curiously: "Aren't you worried about those powerful men destroying food?"
"Don't worry." Yang Xuan squinted, smelled the aroma of meat, and said intoxicatedly: "Greed is the original sin. I gave them a chance.
If they had sold the grain earlier in the beginning, everyone would still be happy at this moment.
But human nature is greedy, even if we know that there is an abyss ahead, we will still go on without hesitation.
What does this have to do with me?"
Zhou Ning sat next to him and said quietly: "I told you to do it myself, but you have already laid out the plan. Now it's more like you paved the road, and I got in the car and swaggered through the city..."
"Is it interesting?" Yang Xuan asked with a smile.
"Better than nothing!"
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "This day will change."
Satisfied with the barbecue, Yang Xuan was ready to leave the city.
"Invite Master Ning to come."
Ning Yayun came in free and easy, carrying a qin on her back and holding a mulberry tail in her hand.
"Zitai!"
Yang Xuan smiled and said: "The master's demeanor is so graceful that one will forget the customs at first sight."
"I am studying the great road..." The sun was shining brightly, and Lao Shuaiguo was not willing to go out.
"There is something I would like to ask you to discuss in detail."
"oh!"
Then the group left the city.
Go straight to the fields.
Yang Xuan found more than ten old farmers.
Deputy Ambassador Yang was very cordial, "I heard a lot of people say a while ago that the weather this year is very good. Do you feel anything about it?"
More than ten old farmers looked at each other, and one of them said: "Deputy envoy, the sun this year... is very good, and the springs that have been without water for many years are full of water..."
Isn't this a good thing... Jiang Heer was confused.
Another old farmer sniffed and said, "Even locusts are rare. How evil is this day!"
He looked at Yang Xuan, who smiled: "Have I ever sinned because of my words?"
Wang Laoer curled his lips and said to Tu Shang: "That person made rude remarks last time and was killed by Lang Jun."
Snap!
Wang Laoer covered the back of his head, "I was right!"
Tu Shang retracted his hand and said expressionlessly: "Shut up!"
Over there, the old farmers spoke one after another.
"Yes! It's a good day this year."
"It was like...twelve years ago."
"Yes, it was the same twelve years ago. The next year there was a drought and insect plague..."
"Yes! I have wanted to say it for a long time, but I was worried that it would be said to be a monster and deceive the public... Twelve years ago, someone said something was wrong, and he was beaten up by a petty official!"
Yang Xuan stood up and turned around.
After hearing the first old farmer's words, Ning Yayun was counting her fingers.
He opened his eyes and said, "Only now do I know why you want to suppress food prices."
