Chapter 733 Greed is the original sin

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 twice?"

"Look over there." The sergeant pointed to the side, where more than ten men were basking in the scorching sun.

"Renovate the city for the first month! Whoever wants to imitate them, just come!"

"If you don't come, don't come!" For one month, you don't have to do any work at home! The gain outweighs the loss.

"Yang Gou has brought food again!" The powerful men at the gathering were shocked.

"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. After everyone calmed down, he said, "Can we afford a 30% price reduction?" 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 there is a loss of 30%, a lot of the family's expenses will be affected. Sun Xian said: "In this case, let's see how much food Yang Gou can get. I don't believe it!"

"Okay!" Everyone is lucky. Maybe Yang Gou can persist for one day at most. Tomorrow, everything will be 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. Only rich people can make offerings to the gods. The gods also have 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,

"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 jumped over the dragon's gate and became masters, but there were too few such examples." Han Ji and Yang Xuan were drinking.

It was at Han's house. Yang Xuan took a sip of wine, and Han Ying came in with a plate of vegetables. Yang Xuan said with a smile: "That's enough, 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 by, 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 he couldn't persuade him any more.

"This daughter! It gives me a headache." Han Ji smiled bitterly,

"Children are debts!" ​​A Liang is still young, so he should be good in the future... Yang Xuan continued the previous topic,

"Studying costs money. For ordinary people, studying is an elusive thing. Even ordinary people who have passed the imperial examination are actually the children of officials and officials, but they are just from ordinary backgrounds." Han Ji nodded.

,

"Therefore, the poor will remain poor, and the rich will remain rich."

"No, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer." Yang Xuan picked up a piece of dried meat and drank it well.

"For ordinary people, if they want to change their background, there are only two ways, joining the army and studying. To join the army is to use your own life to carve a way out among thousands of troops. The successful Wanzhong

None. Compared with them who are illiterate, those children who are born in generals, those children of powerful officials, those...even the children of local powerful people, are more likely to be promoted in the army." Han Ji put a chopstick on the table.

A few times,

"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? For those few places, how can ordinary people compete with the local powerful, local landowners, businessmen, and officials? In the end, the official schools became the local

Where the superiors train their children, the common people still face the earth with their backs to the sky." Han Ji squinted his eyes.

"Lang Jun can see through the barrier between the common people and the carnivores at a glance. I..." He stood up and held his hands.

"Been taught a lesson."

"Why so!" Yang Xuan smiled.

"I have thought about the various shortcomings of the Tang Dynasty, such as the annexation of land, the dim officialdom...but Lang Jun saw the crux at a glance, reading!" Han Ji's admiration was sincere, and he couldn't help but be happy,

"How come these meat-eaters from aristocratic families, dignitaries, and local tycoons have been able to 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, that's just a joke. Many people,

It's unbelievable how stupid you are, even stupider than a pig." Yang Xuan smiled and said

"They are stupid, but they have an advantage."

"What?"

"Can reincarnate!" Han Ji was startled,

"This is 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 only so many benefits in the world, and they don't have enough to share it themselves. How can they be willing to let others share a piece of the pie?

"

"I call this monopoly!" Yang Xuan took a sip of wine.

"In order to monopolize the benefits that a class can currently obtain, 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 was in Taiping and opened a school in Chenzhou. Most of the students were ordinary people..." Could it be that Lang Jun had been trying to solve this problem since then?

Yang Xuan nodded slightly. Han Ji was excited,

"I am indeed right, Mr. Lang..." 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, and shook his head with difficulty.

"I'm afraid it will be... difficult!"

"What are you thinking about?" Yang Xuan looked at him and asked. Han Ji said slowly: "I'm thinking, what will happen to my children and grandchildren if I let them come up? There are only so many official positions in the world. If they come up, originally

What should I do with the children and grandchildren of an old man who can help me? If they don’t care for themselves, they will be 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 do you mean by that gentleman!" Yang Xuan put the wine bottle on the table, wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth, and looked at him with a stern look.

"I'm going to smash it all!"...

"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 there, and now the price of grain on 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 and said,

"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 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,

"Just for the sake of more than 300,000 yuan of food, Deputy Ambassador Yang's wife was riding a tiger and couldn't get off." So Yang Xuan went into battle shirtless.

"If Yang Xuan maintains the price of food, it is a battle of morals. But he suppresses the price of food... I can't come forward. He is now almost the controller of Northern Xinjiang. The controller of Northern Xinjiang actually fought with powerful people just for the sake of a battle of morals.

We are having a food price war. Do you want to say that my husband is blind, or that I am an idiot?" Sun Yan was shocked.

"Zhongcheng..." Liao Jin sneered,

"Who will benefit if the price of grain is suppressed by 30%? If you want to think about one thing, you have to look at who benefits from this and who suffers. Although I don't know the plan behind him, it is the common people who benefit from this, and the powerful are the 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. When the price of grain is reduced by 30%, they are willing to sell it? I bet those fools are reluctant to part with it! But when the people have enough food in their homes,

Who do they sell their grain 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 left. After he left, Liao Jin asked someone to carry him to the yard.

"Mr. Lang, it's too sunny." the steward advised,

"It's cooler under the eaves."

"Those powerful people were left in the hot sun by Yang Xuan at this moment. A group of idiots didn't know it and were complacent about it." Liao Jin raised his head and said,

"I just came here to feel the feeling of being exposed."

"Hot!" Liao Jin touched his hair and felt that the strands were getting hot.

"Those idiots thought that Yang Xuan had no money... The accumulation of the three departments over the years could be said to be as rich as any country. 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.

The matter has been so long ago that I almost forgot about it, let alone those idiots. Yang Xuan holds such a huge sum of money in his hands, and smashes it down... the price of food? I dare to bet that it was just Yang Xuan who took care of those idiots, but Yang Xuan did it casually.

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 was being delivered in a steady stream. The powerful men couldn't sit still.

"Where did he get so much money?" someone roared.

"What should I do?" Some people are mourning for their heirs. While the powerful men are worried, Yang Xuan is 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 on the side 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 will Zitai learn how to learn it?"

Barbecue?" Yang Xuan turned over the sign and said,

"Back then, when I was hunting in the Dongyu Mountains, the meat of the beasts was smelly, so I thought of a lot of ways to do it. When it comes to barbecue, I would say second, but no one in the world would dare to say first." His own experience, plus what he saw in the scroll.

Various techniques made Yang Xuan confident: "Even if I quit 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 shouted when he smelled the smell of meat, but now he couldn't eat it. Yang Xuan brought the meat skewers to his mouth and quickly took it away.

Seeing A Liang's flat mouth, Zhou Ning quickly coaxed him, and then said angrily,

"How could you do this?" Jiang He'er said curiously: "Aren't you worried about those powerful men destroying food?"

"Don't worry." Yang Xuan squinted, sniffed the aroma of meat, and said intoxicatedly: "Greed is the original sin. I gave them a chance. If they had sold the food in their hands earlier, everyone would still be happy at this moment.

.But human nature is greedy. Even if you know that there is an abyss ahead, you will still go down without hesitation. What does this have to do with me?" Zhou Ning sat beside him and said quietly: "I told you to do it myself.

, it just so happened that you had already laid out the plan. Now it’s more like you have paved the road, so I got in the car and swaggered through the city all the way..."

"Is it interesting?" Yang Xuan asked with a smile.

"Better than nothing!" Yang Xuan smiled,

"This day will change." After eating a barbecue and feeling satisfied, Yang Xuan was ready to leave the city.

"Invite Headmaster Ning to come." Ning Yayun came with a qin on her back and a mulberry tail in her hand.

"Zitai!" Yang Xuan said with a smile: "The headmaster has such a graceful demeanor 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 of people left the city and went straight to the fields. Yang Xuan found more than ten old farmers. Deputy Ambassador Yang was very kind.

"I heard a lot of people say a while ago that the weather this year is very good. Do you feel it?" More than ten old farmers looked at each other, and one of them said: "Deputy envoy, the sun this year... is very good.

Also, the springs that have been without water for many years are filled with water..." Isn't this a good thing... Jiang He'er was puzzled.

Another old farmer sniffed,

"Even locusts are rare. How evil is this day!" He looked at Yang Xuan, who smiled: "Have I ever sinned for my words?" Wang Laoer curled his lips and said to Tu Chang: "Who was that last time?

He spoke rudely and was killed by Lang Jun." Snap!

Wang Laoer covered the back of his head,

"I'm 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 clerk!" 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,

"Only now do I know why you want to suppress food prices."
