Chapter 4057: The Killing
To the point of Man Chong and others, since Chen Xi has no longer cared about it and asked them to let go of their actions, he must have been prepared. Even if he is not prepared, at worst, they will all bear it together. Since they are carrying it together, with Chen Xi, they will definitely be able to withstand it.
"Okay, I'll kowtow to my uncle, uncle, etc. when I go back first." Yuan Shu waved his hand and said, then walked towards his hometown with heavy steps.
The old men from the Yuan family were also very happy after Yuan Shu came back. These people knew more or less about the matter in Yuzhou, but they didn't care much, because in the eyes of the old men of the Yuan family, those represented by Guo Gong could not succeed.
On the one hand, those people's ideas are too simple, they are too anxious to start, and their foundation is unstable. On the other hand, the Yuan family, who has really done the same thing, is very clear that times have changed, and it is basically impossible to continue like this.
But the old man in the Yuan family is old, and seeing that Lezi and others are okay to solve the problem, it is no longer realistic to get started with it. So when Yuan Shu comes back with Man Chong, he almost knows that the play is at the end.
"What are you going to do?" Yuan Da asked curiously while sitting on the chair with a crutch. It has only been a few years since he saw him. Yuan Da, who was able to curse Chen Ji and others in the court, got older again, and felt that the oil was exhausted and the lamp was dry.
But it’s right to think about it. This person is already in his eighties and his birthday is almost here.
"I plan to go to Yangdi to take Guo Gong directly, and then summon the bureaucrats of Yuzhou counties and counties in the name of Guo Gong to implement the beheading tactic." Yuan Shu did not hide it.
"Then do you suppress the officialdom of Yuzhou by yourself?" Yuan Da said with an eyebrow, then glanced at Man Chong, "Okay, if you want to do this, go do it. For you now, this is indeed not outrageous, but if you do it, you have to be mentally prepared."
"I'm not as fragile as you think." Yuan Shu said conceitably. Yuan Shu is like a peacock. If he becomes arrogant, he will be out of nowhere.
"Okay, then you can deal with it quickly. Although there is no problem with Runan, several of the elderly at home have passed away in the past few years. Without anyone to supplement it, the situation in Yingchuan and Chen County will sooner or later happen in our hometown." Yuan Da said with a sigh, and it was finally time to let go completely.
"I will solve it together." Yuan Shu nodded. In fact, he came to see his clan elders and realized that the foundation of the Yuan family in Runan was indeed time to collapse. Even if the remaining power was still there, he could suppress Runan, but the lack of manpower would sooner or later become like Yingchuan and Chen County.
For the Yuan family, if one day they develop to that level, it would be better to withdraw from the family now. The lessons of the Chen and Xun families are like this!
The next day, Yuan Shu went to Yangdi. When he came out, he took a detour and passed by the melon field yesterday. The old farmer was still hoeing the ground.
"Brother, I'm here again. The melons in your house are really good." Yuan Shu leaned over and said as he passed by. The old farmer who was hoeing the ground stopped working when he saw Yuan Shu. He happily picked a few ripe melons and invited Yuan Shu to eat melons.
After eating this time, Yuan Shu touched a golden bean and left it and ran away. The melons in Yuzhou that he remembered were still the price of a few years ago. Yesterday, he ate someone’s melons and found that the melons in Yuzhou had increased by a cent. I, Yuan Shu, is the kind of person who takes advantage of others?
Of course not. At least ordinary people are not qualified to let me take advantage of Yuan Shu, so even if I take a detour, I will return the money back to you.
"The melon is not very sweet, the melons on the Weiyang Palace are even sweeter." Man Chong also tasted two bites of the melon cut by Yuan Shu in the frame, and then savored it casually.
Yuan Shu rolled his eyes when he heard this. Of course, the melons in Weiyang Palace were sweet. The cookies were basically the best of the same type. If a melon planted by a melon farmer in Yuzhou could catch up with the cookies, there would be no big problem.
"Do you think I'm eating melon?" Yuan Shu said angrily, "I'm eating realm."
Man Chong glanced at Yuan Shu and said nothing. He was just making fun of him. When he found out that the money he gave was less, Man Chong was laughing at Yuan Shu.
"The price seems to have risen slightly." Yuan Shu suddenly said, "I have eaten melons from Yuzhou for decades. You all know that I am a good bite. What kind of melons and honey are sweet, I like them. In the past few decades, as long as it is not a famine, melons have always been the same price, but this time it actually increased by two cents."
These days, you may not necessarily have to weigh things when buying things. You basically give melons five cents and then take three meanings depending on the size. Yesterday, Yuan Shu took seven and ten cents, but when he turned around, he found that the melons in Runan now have two cents and two cents each. This is very embarrassing.
Ordinary people are qualified to let me take advantage of Yuan Shu? Not embarrassing. If you eat three or two dates in other families, it would be fine if you don’t give money. If you give money, at least you can give enough money. If you don’t give enough money, what does that mean?
So today Yuan Shu took a detour and ate melons again, gave enough money, and added hundreds of cigarettes. Although the small gold beads were not exchanged for the price, it was still no problem to be worth hundreds of cigarettes.
"Zichuan said that when society is moving forward as a whole, prices will rise to a certain extent with the rise of other materials. However, as long as the prices of goods that are urgently needed are locked, other daily necessities will inevitably be anchored by this. Even if the prices rise, they will be within the normal range." Man Chong explained casually, although he was not very clear about why.
Unlike the situation where the opening of the gates and water was released in later generations, which led to inflation, the Han Dynasty had a year-on-year shortage of money, that is, deflation. Although Chen Xi could not thoroughly calculate the value output of the country's overall industry, it was generally much more reasonable than the Han Dynasty, which deflated every year before, so the economy was more reasonable.
Under this reasonable operation, while the overall industrial value is rising, per capita income and assets rise, prices will naturally rise. Of course, this increase is relatively slow. It is impossible to have a price per year, and it is impossible to introduce a large amount of money like when I first entered Chang'an. The society is governed from chaos and the productivity explosion has led to a decrease in prices.
That situation is possible, but the possibility is too small, because once that situation occurs, Chen Xi will realize that the domestic potential has not yet been released to its limit and will continue to harvest wealth from the market for national investment and construction.
So in reality, the prices in Yuanfengian are growing at a relatively slow rate. As for the next wave of decline, it may have to wait for township enterprises to start construction on a large scale.
Such large-scale new products enter the market, and more places enter the economic cycle, and the scale of materials will further increase. When Chen Xi's situation is not clear and he has not directly harvested wealth, but is waiting and watching, prices will suddenly drop to the level of the first year of Yuanfeng.
But then it will enter a period of growth, and then it will take another five or six years to grow back.
The overall situation should be like this, in short, prices should not rise.
"I don't understand." Yuan Shu scratched his head, but he didn't care. He was just a serious person who paid for me. Regardless of whether the price rose or not, whether it rose or not, could it affect my Yuan Shu eating me?
When Yuan Shu and Man Chong arrived in Yangdi, Guo Gong was summoning county-level bureaucrats to discuss matters. Just like in Jizhou, Guo Gong received news that Li You was imprisoned in Chang'an and Zhao Yan was sick and went to the hospital. It was also believed that it was the result of the struggle between the upper faction.
Therefore, when they found that they could not contact Zhao Yan, Guo Gong and others had no special feeling. After all, Li You were all imprisoned in the imperial prison. It was not an accident for them to be punished to avoid disaster by Zhao Yan.
It should even be said that if Zhao Yan can still come out to contact them, that would be horror.
"Not good, the governor, Yuan Gong and the court lieutenant have arrived in Yangdi." Just as Guo Gong was discussing with the bureaucrats in the county, Shu Zuo, who was under his command, rushed in with a look of fear and greeted Guo Gong.
"Yuan Gaolu? Why did he come?" Guo Gong asked in confusion, not thinking that it was coming for him, because it was meaningless. What he did was just a copy of the Yuan family back then, and Yuan Shu had no meaning to stop him.
"Governor, Mr. Yuan brought the court lieutenant together." Shu Zuo greeted Guo Gong in panic.
"Tingwei?" Guo Gong only realized at this time, and immediately felt bad. "Take someone with me to greet him."
When Yuan Shu appeared in the government office, Guo Gong brought a large number of county-level bureaucrats to greet him. When he saw Man Chong, Guo Gong was obviously a little panicked.
"Governor Guo, I believe you can know me too." Man Chong bowed to Guo Gong. The very rare servant did not show his respect, and the Shangguan had already given him a respect.
"I have met the Tingwei and heard about Yuan Gong." Guo Gong quickly bowed and said.
"Don't make me foolish. What's going on in Yuzhou? What do you want to do?" Yuan Shu asked coldly, "And you, if you want to go from thief to the end, should you honestly explain to me?"
When the county-level bureaucrats in Yangdi saw this scene, they were all numb. Yuan Shu was really powerful to this group of people. The problem was that they all boarded Guo Gong's pirate ship.
"Okay, okay!" Yuan Shu laughed in anger. I gave you a chance. If you don't catch it, I really thought I brought these people.
The next moment, Yuan Shu screamed after using the great secret technique, "Come on, save me, I am Yuan Shu, the governor of Yuzhou wants to kill me!"
