@@Hoarding is the thing that rulers hate most.

But most of the people who are capable of doing such things have backgrounds, and those in power often can only turn a blind eye.

Hello everyone, this is really good!

In northern Xinjiang, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. The place is powerful and powerful. The rich people are like local emperors. They have done this hoarding thing countless times.

The less something is and the more people need it, the more ruthless they will be. They will use various resources in their hands to monopolize goods and raise prices.

The people yelled and cursed while buying.

This situation may occur once or several times every few years, or even every year.

It's like cutting leeks.

One crop after another.

This rush to buy salt is a leek-cutting operation.

People also rob, but how much money do they have?

The main force is still the rich.

Yang Xuan said no matter what, which led everyone to speculate whether he had discovered salt or opened up a smuggling channel.

But when the convoy transporting salt arrived, this hope was dashed.

At this moment, a strange crime of hoarding was thrown out, which shocked Liu Qing and others.

"You don't care, you just sit back and watch them rush to buy. The more you buy, the more fines you will have to confiscate afterwards."

But these methods are too overbearing... Luo Cai said directly: "Isn't it too overbearing?"

Liu Qing said: "Just right!"

Song Zhen stroked his beard and nodded, "Not overbearing." Why do I think you two are hiding something from me...

Luo Cai looked at the two of them, thinking about inviting them to drink in the evening, and asking Liu Qing, the worst drinker, to get information.

Song Zhen said: "If it happens again later, it will be suspected of being intentional. Send it out immediately!"

Liu Qing said: "I see, it's such an understatement... The three of us just nod, and the Duke nods."

Externally, it was said that the Jiedushi government passed a batch of new laws...

So, the matter was settled.

These new laws were introduced this afternoon, and then they were put on hold.

"Xiao Xuanzi, you are really cheating!"

Zhuque felt that Yang Xuan was getting worse and worse.

Yang Xuan thought this was a different kind of fishing!

Those who wish take the bait!

Yang Xuan felt that what he was fishing for was people's hearts.

Greed is human instinct, desire is never-ending, and one mountain looks as high as the other.

How much salt can rich people eat in their homes?

According to the results of Jin Yiwei's survey, wealthy people generally have salt stored in their homes for one or two years. In other words, even if they don't buy it this time, they can survive until the day when Northern Xinjiang may collapse due to lack of salt.

Then, their motivation for snapping up salt is obvious.

Just to make money!

Yang Xuan held up a roster and said, "Here are the businessmen I praised earlier for delivering food to Northern Xinjiang and alleviating the food shortage crisis in Northern Xinjiang.

But more than half a year later, he changed his mind and turned into a bug digging into the corners of Northern Xinjiang. This kind of human heart! Even the gods can’t figure it out."

"I see, we still need education!" Liu Qing said. "Education is useless!" Song Zhen said disdainfully: "The word education has been mentioned for thousands of years, but people who should be greedy are still greedy."

Luo Cai said: "Every year, the Ministry of Civil Affairs gives advice to educate officials, and the articles are distributed everywhere, but those who should be corrupt are still corrupt, and those who should be derelict in their duties are still careless. As time goes by, I know that this education! Use it alone.

It’s useless.”

Lao Luo still has some real stuff... Yang Xuan said: "People's hearts are unpredictable, and people pursue profit. To restrain people's hearts, education is essential, but education alone is useless, only adding a big stick. Education is

Speak gently, and the big stick is a deterrent. If you obey, speak gently; if you disobey, you will be beaten severely..."

"One in literature and one in martial arts!" Luo Cai nodded, "Good!"

"The Duke."

Helianyan is here.

"What's the matter?"

Yang Xuan asked.

He Lianyan came in, and "Jin Shun suddenly spoke and said that he knew where the salt was."

"oh!"

Yang Xuan nodded, "Bring it here."

Song Zhen said: "I'm afraid it's false news."

Don’t be afraid of fake news, but the situation is urgent and you can’t afford to waste time!

Jin Shun was brought in, his face was livid and his whole body was stiff.

If he blew it for one more day, this person would definitely be gone.

As soon as he came in, he kneeled subconsciously, but his knees were stiff, and as soon as he moved his body forward, he fell to the ground.

puff!

Yang Xuan covered his forehead, "..." Liu Qing coughed dryly. "Stand up."

Jin Shun, who was being held up, had a bruised nose and swollen face, and cried in pain.

"Where is the salt?" Song Zhen asked.

Jin Shun said while crying: "The villain was delivering goods to Sangzhou two years ago. When passing by Su County, he missed Sutou and found a Taoist temple.

The villain stayed at the Taoist temple. The Taoist was kind and even gave him food at night. While the villain was eating tofu, he felt that the taste was wrong. When he asked, he said that there was salt brine behind the Taoist temple... The Taoist temple had not bought salt for more than a hundred years.

.”

"If it's a little..." Liu Qing felt that this matter was useless.

Jin Shun panicked when he heard this, "Big! Big! It's just that most of the salt produced in the Tang Dynasty comes from the Northwest Salt Lake, which is very cheap. Many places will lose money when producing salt, so they put it aside."

At dawn, the villain took a look at the salt well. It’s not deep, so it can be dug anywhere. The Taoist said that any hole dug in that area can be a salt well.”

Yang Xuan asked: "How old is it?"

Jin Shun drew a circle with his hands and said, "At least ten acres of land."

This is……

Yang Xuan asked: "Look at that place, is there any vegetation?"

Jin Shun shook his head.

"How old?"

This time Jin Shun didn't dare to answer casually, and thought about it carefully, "The villain just took a look and didn't see the side!"

Song Zhen's body trembled, "Wherever there is salt, no grass will grow!"

Luo Cai glanced at Yang Xuan and thought that Zitai also knew about this?

Yang Xuan stood up and said, "Throw him in the prison and eat and drink well. If this is true, it is a great achievement. If this is false, it is a meal without head!" Jin Shun knelt down smoothly this time and howled.

He cried: "I swear, everything I swear is true!"

Yang Xuan said to Liu Qing: "Sangzhou is on the back and right of our northern border. Last time Chang'an was about to attack Huang Xianggong, I ordered Sun Ying of Fengzhou to send troops to shock Sangzhou and knock on the mountains to frighten the tiger. Wu Yun, the governor, did not respond. Order

Helianyan is here."

Helianyan is outside.

"The Duke."

"Do you know Wu Yun, the governor of Sangzhou?"

"Wu Yun was born in a powerful family and was the eldest son. However, he was fond of painting and was obsessed with painting. He was known in Sangzhou to rule by doing nothing."

"Isn't this special girl just indifferent?" Song Zhen said with a smile, "Are the people of Sangzhou angry?"

He Lianyan said: "He stayed in Sangzhou for several years, and every year he requested to be transferred back to Chang'an, saying that if he had not been the eldest son, he would have resigned and gone home to paint."

Luo Cai looked strange and said, "I remember, this is a wonderful man. He is transferred back to Chang'an every year and says he is willing to take up a casual position. But every time, the people in Sangzhou will try to keep him, saying that he is a capable person and Sangzhou cannot do without him!"

No matter what you do, you are still capable?

Everyone was stunned, but only Luo Cai took it for granted, "Many officials thought they were full of knowledge and sat at home, imagining many ways to govern the place. Once they got to the place, they became blind...I made a mistake."

He glanced at Yang Xuan, and realized that it was Yang Guogong who brought up that foul language. The old man felt very comfortable and would say it from time to time.

Helianyan lowered his head slightly, trying to hold back a smile.

Yang Xuan smiled, "Mr. Luo, continue."

Luo Cai continued: "Those officials used all the governance methods they imagined, and nine times out of ten, they got things wrong. They didn't do bad things at home, but the local area suffered terribly. Therefore, officials who govern by doing nothing

, on the contrary, it is very popular!”

Yang Xuan thought thoughtfully, "In other words, the people don't expect to have an official who is capable and can benefit them. They just hope that there will be someone who... doesn't make fools of themselves."
