At the same time, letters were sent from all over the south of the Yangtze River, telling Xie Yuan that the grain had been harvested and put into storage.
In addition to the grain distributed to the tenant farmers and his subordinates according to the monthly silver, Xie Yuan used part of it to sell to the nobles who were unwilling to farm - of course, the price was twice the market price, so there was nothing you could do if you thought it was expensive.
Anyway, the whole Jiangnan area is my farmland. If you like, buy it. If you don’t want to buy it, you can go back to the north to cultivate the fields.
Because of this, even if the nobles didn't like Xie Yuan, they could only bite the bullet and make a big mistake to buy grain.
This was the first time Huan Feng saw the crops freshly harvested from the fields.
When he saw these ugly crops turned into a very delicious dinner, he was completely silent.
"Tu Nan, when the whole Jin Dynasty was in famine last year, were you the one who sent this food out to alleviate the urgent need?" Huan Feng asked suddenly, looking at the roasted corn in front of him and the white rice.
Xie Yuan nodded: "It's not considered a gift."
He could give it away, but he only gave it away to common people and poor families, and only to the gentry with the surname Wu - as for those with the surname of overseas Chinese, they all had to pay for it.
This year is no exception, and it will be no exception in the future.
"Tu Nan is so good, but those people actually said that you have evil intentions. You really have blind eyes and blind eyes." Huan Feng sighed with emotion.
Xie Yuanxiao: "I'm not that good either."
"Yeah, it's not that good. It's just planting food in troubled times, so that the people who were starved to death can have a full meal; it's just reclaiming the south of the Yangtze River, so that they have a stable life.
You don’t have to worry about shelter anymore.”
Huan Feng suddenly looked at Xie Yuan, his eyes full of admiration.
"Tunan is the most unusual boy from a poor family I have ever seen - everything you do makes Huan Sanlang sincerely admire him! Sanlang has a question here, if one day I want to do something big, will you be there?
Help me secretly?"
Xie Yuan's smile did not diminish.
He knew Huan Feng would ask such a question.
Because the opportunity he was waiting for was the young man in front of him.
"Sanlang and I share the same goals. If Sanlang wants to do what he wants, Xie will definitely help him."
Huan Feng's eyes lit up with an indestructible light, and he raised the tea cup: "Then I will replace the wine with tea and give a toast to Tunan! I wish you that all your wishes will come true!"
Xie Yuan toasted in return.
After that, Huan Feng said goodbye to Xie Yuan and resolutely embarked on the road of joining the army.
Before leaving, he said this -
"Tu Nan settled the world with his writings, and Sanlang of the Huan family used force to bring peace to the world. Tunan just wait for my good news, and I will bring peace and prosperity to you all!"
"Then I'll wait for the good news from Saburo." Xie Yuan bowed and said, "Take care along the way."
Huan Feng nodded, put on his hood, wore a thin cloak, beat his horse and left in the dust.
Huo Qubing looked at Huan Feng's back as he left gracefully, with a flash of envy in his eyes.
"Sanlang of the Huan family has a good temperament and is good at literature and martial arts. If he becomes an official in the future, he will definitely achieve great things." Huo Qubing sighed, "I just don't know when I can have a hearty fight with him again."
"Do you also want to join the army and fight without justice?" Xie Yuan asked.
Huo Qubing scratched his head: "Think about it, who doesn't want to make great achievements? I dream of suppressing the Eight Kings Rebellion, so that the descendants of the barbarians dare not set foot in our Central Plains."
"Then why don't you go to the Huo Family Army and fight with Governor Huo?" Cui Heng raised his eyebrows.
Although Dudu Huo was worshiped as a general, he could not exercise the rights of a general when there was no war.
So everyone still called him the governor.
The young man who was questioned blushed: "My father said that I acted recklessly, and there is no war now. When I go to the military camp, I can only train new recruits. He said that instead of letting me waste time in the military camp, I should train more with my lord.
"
Everyone laughed.
After staying at Longgang Academy for a few days, Xie Yuan personally answered the questions of some poor scholars.
Issues and principles that they didn't understand at first suddenly became clear in Xie Yuan's few words.
Xie Yuan also saw Qi Yan personally teaching everyone the art of Qi Huang.
After Qi Yan took over the academy, everyone respected him very much - not only because of his status as a descendant of the Qi family, but also because of his extensive knowledge, which was no weaker than Cui Heng.
Therefore, the classes taught by Qi Yan are usually overcrowded.
Its popularity is no less than that of Xie Yuan.
It was also during this period that Qi Yan heard what happened to Xie Yuan.
While I admire him, I can't help but worry: "Those people who mint counterfeit coins to circulate in Yangzhou must want to harm Xiao Yuan. Has Xiao Yuan thought of a countermeasure?"
"I have discussed it with Yu Zhi. Once we find out who did it, if you treat me as a nobleman of the country, I will repay you as a nobleman of the country." Xie Yuan smiled slightly.
Qi Yan was stunned and laughed.
I almost forgot, Xie Yuan is not one to be bullied and swallow his anger.
"Okay." Qi Yanyan nodded and lowered his head in shame, "I can't help you much now. I just hope Xiaoyuan is fine."
"Brother, what are you talking about? Nowadays, all academies are supported by you, so why can't you help me even if you say anything?" Xie Yuan smiled.
"That's all a simple effort." Qi Yan waved his hand, thought of something, and asked again,
"Then what San Lang of the Huan family has planned with you is probably your wish."
Xie Yuan nodded: "He is the person I am waiting for."
Hengfeng is unruly and unruly. He doesn't like the gentry's rigid etiquette and prefers a unique court.
That’s why he wants the humble family and the Wu gentry to rise, and that’s why he doesn’t look down upon his own origin——
That's why they are like-minded.
For this reason, Hengfeng was the opportunity he was waiting for.
He believed that the emergence of Huan Feng would change the situation in which his relatives, the Wang family, monopolized the power of the court.
And when that day comes, the poor families and common people will slowly no longer be stepped on by the nobles.
Of course, this may take several years.
But he fell short.
By that time, he had spread the basic power of poor families and common people to the entire Jin Dynasty - facing the general trend, the nobles must bow their heads.
After all, people are like water, and water can carry or capsize a boat.
And with the help of Huan Feng and others, officials such as Wang Dazai who insisted on being upright in the ninth grade had to bow their heads.
First, we hope that the nobility and poor families will no longer be at odds with each other, so that the people can have enough to eat and solve their internal problems——
Then seek to stabilize the world and solve foreign troubles——
This is his wish.
It's difficult.
So you have to do it step by step.
Qi Yan nodded: "I will do my best to help you - a single spark can start a prairie fire."
Xie Yuan nodded: "A single spark is enough to start a prairie fire."
Everyone stayed for a few more days, until Xie Yuan and Cui Heng received clues about the counterfeit coins investigated by the retainers, and then they hurried back to the Governor's Mansion.
Xie Yuan and Cui Heng read the letter and found that these people not only sent counterfeit coins from the bank, but also circulated them directly among the people.
