In the words of Man Chong and others, since Chen Xi has left them alone and allowed them to do whatever they want, he must have been prepared. Even if he is not prepared, at worst, all of them will carry it together, and since they are carrying it together, Chen Xi
, it will definitely be able to bear it.
"Okay then, I'll go back and kowtow to my great-uncle first." Yuan Shu waved his hand and said, then walked towards his hometown with heavy steps.
The old men of the Yuan family were quite happy after Yuan Shu came back. These people knew more or less what happened 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
It is impossible for people to succeed.
On the one hand, those people's ideas were too simple, their actions were too hasty, and their foundation was unstable. On the other hand, the Yuan family, who had actually done the same thing, knew very well that times had changed, and it was basically impossible to continue like that.
It's just that the old men of the Yuan family are getting older, and it's okay to wait for someone to solve the problem for fun, but it's no longer realistic to solve the problem by yourself. So when I saw Yuan Shu coming back with Man Chong, I almost knew that this drama was coming to an end.
"What are you going to do?" Yuan Da leaned on crutches and asked curiously while sitting on a chair. It had only been a few years since we last met. Yuan Da, who could scold Chen Ji and others in the court, was old again.
For a while, it felt like the oil was running out and the lamp was drying up right before my eyes.
But it makes sense to think about it, this man is already over eighty years old and his birthday is coming soon.
"I plan to go to Yangzhai to capture Guo Gong directly, and then summon Yuzhou county officials in Guo Gong's name to implement beheading tactics." Yuan Shu did not hide it.
"Then you suppress the Yuzhou officialdom yourself?" Yuan Da raised his eyebrows and said, then glanced sideways at Man Chong, "Okay, if you want to do it, go ahead. For you now, this matter is really not outrageous.
, but if you do it, you have to be mentally prepared.”
"I'm not as fragile as you think." Yuan Shu said arrogantly. Yuan Shu is just like a peacock. When he is arrogant, there will be no limits.
"Okay, then you hurry up and deal with it. Although there is no problem here in Runan, several elderly people in the family have passed away in the past few years. If there is no manpower to supplement, if a few more pass away, what happens in Yingchuan and
Sooner or later, Chen Jun's situation will happen in our hometown." Yuan Da said with some regret, it was finally time to let go completely.
"I will solve it together." Yuan Shu nodded. In fact, when he came to see his clan elders, he realized that the Yuan family's foundation in Runan was indeed about to collapse. Even if the remaining power is still there, he can suppress it.
We can live in Runan, but due to the lack of manpower, sooner or later we will end up like Yingchuan and Chenjun.
For the Yuan family, if it really develops to that extent one day, it would be better for them to withdraw now. This is a lesson learned from the past experience of the Chen and Xun families, tsk tsk!
The next day, Yuan Shu went to Yangzhai. When he came out, he took a detour and passed the melon field from yesterday. The old farmer was still hoeing the land.
"Brother, I'm here again. Your melons are really good." Yuan Shu put his head over and said as he passed by. When the old farmer saw Yuan Shu, he stopped working and happily picked a few ripe ones.
The melon was so tender that Yuan Shu was asked to eat it.
After eating this time, Yuan Shu touched a golden bean and left it where he was before running away. In his impression, the price of Yuzhou melons was still the same as a few years ago. Yesterday, after eating other people's melons, he found that the price of Yuzhou melons had actually increased.
For a penny, am I, Yuan Shu, the kind of person who takes advantage of others?
Of course not, at least ordinary people are not qualified to let me, Yuan Shu, take advantage of you, so even if I take a detour, I will return this melon money to you.
"The melons are not very sweet. The melons from Weiyang Palace are even sweeter." Man Chong also tasted two bites of the melons cut by Yuan Shu in the carriage, and then commented casually.
Yuan Shu rolled his eyes when he heard this. The melons in Weiyang Palace are of course sweet. The ones grown by Cookie are basically the best of their kind. If the melons grown by a melon farmer in Yuzhou can catch up with the melons grown by Cookie, then there will be no big deal.
Problem.
"Do you think what I ate was melon?" Yuan Shu said angrily, "What I ate was realm."
Man Chong glanced at Yuan Shu but didn't say anything. He was just teasing him. Yesterday when he found out that the melon money he gave was less, Man Chong was laughing at Yuan Shu.
"The prices seem to have increased slightly." Yuan Shu suddenly said, "I have eaten Yuzhou melons for decades, and you all know that this is what I like. No matter what melon or honey, as long as it is sweet.
, I like them all. In the past few decades, as long as there was no famine, the price of melons was almost always the same, but this time it actually increased by two cents."
You don’t necessarily have to weigh things when buying things these days. For things like melons, you basically give them five cents and then take three of them depending on the size. Yesterday, Yuan Shu took seven and gave ten cents.
Money, but I turned around and found that the melons in Runan, which were now about the same size, cost two cents each, which was very embarrassing.
Ordinary people have the right to let me, Yuan Shu, take advantage of me? It's shameful or not. It's okay not to give money to someone who eats three melons and two dates. If you give money, you will give it enough. If you don't give it enough, what does that mean?
So today Yuan Shu took a detour and came to eat melon again, gave him enough money, and added a few hundred coins. Although the small gold beads had no exchange price, they were still worth a few hundred coins.
"Zichuan said that when society as a whole moves forward, the prices themselves will rise to a certain extent with the increase in the prices of other materials. However, as long as the prices of just-necessary items are locked, other daily necessities will inevitably be anchored by this.
, even if the price rises, it will still be within the normal range." Man Chong explained casually, although he was not sure why.
It is different from the situation that later generations opened the floodgates and caused inflation. In the past, the Han Dynasty suffered from money shortages for years, which was deflation. Although Chen Xi could not completely calculate the value output of the country's overall industry, it was generally higher than
The Han Dynasty, which had deflation every year, was much more reasonable, so the economy was running more reasonably.
Under this reasonable operation, the overall industrial value is rising, and while per capita income and assets are rising, prices will naturally rise. Of course, this rise is relatively slow. It is impossible to have one price every year, nor to
It may be like when he first took over Chang'an, a large amount of money was introduced, society was restored from chaos, productivity exploded, and prices actually dropped.
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 been released to its limit, and will continue to harvest wealth from the market for investment and construction at the national level.
So realistically speaking, prices in Yuanfengnian continue to grow at a relatively slow rate. As for the next wave of decline, I'm afraid we have to wait until township enterprises start large-scale construction.
Such large-scale new products enter the market, more places enter the economic cycle, and the scale of materials is further pushed up. When Chen Xi does not directly harvest the wealth due to the unclear situation, but waits and sees, prices will
Suddenly dropped to the level of the first year of Yuanfeng.
But then it will enter a period of growth again, and then it will take another five or six years to grow back again.
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 take it to heart. He was just a serious person who paid for his food. It didn't matter if his prices rose or not. If they rose again, would they affect my Yuan Shu's money?
When Yuan Shu and Man Chong arrived in Yangzhai, Guo Gong was convening county-level officials to discuss matters. Just like the situation in Jizhou, Guo Gong also thought that when he received the news from Chang'an that Li You was imprisoned and Zhao Yan was ill and hospitalized,
It is the result of the factional struggle at the upper level.
Therefore, when they found out that they could not contact Zhao Yan, Guo Gong and others did not feel anything special. After all, Li You was sent to prison, and Zhao Yan, a big boss to them, was now sent to the medical school.
Avoiding disaster is not an accident at all.
It should even be said that at this time, if Zhao Yan could still come out to contact them, that would be called panic.
"It's bad, Governor, Duke Yuan and Tingwei have come to Yangdi." While Guo Gong was discussing with the county officials, his subordinate Shu Zuo rushed in with a panic look on his face and greeted Guo Gong.
"Yuan Gonglu? Why is he here?" Guo Gong asked in confusion. He didn't think he was coming because it was meaningless. What he did was just a replica of what the Yuan family did back then. Yuan Shu didn't stop him at all.
meaning.
"Provincial Governor, Mr. Yuan is here with the Tingwei." Shu Zuo greeted Guo Gong in fear.
"Tingwei?" Guo Gong only reacted at this time, and immediately felt bad, "Hurry up and bring someone with me to greet you."
When Yuan Shu appeared in the government office, Guo Gong came to greet him with a large number of county-level officials. When he saw Man Chong, Guo Gong was obviously panicked.
"Guo Governor, I believe you can recognize me." Man Chong raised his hand to Guo Gong. It was very rare that the lower official did not salute, but the superior official already did.
"I've seen Wei Ting and heard of Duke Yuan." Guo Gong quickly bowed and saluted.
"Don't give me any trouble. What's going on in Yuzhou? What do you want to do?" Yuan Shu asked coldly, "And you, do you want to be a thief to the end, or do you want to be honest with me?"
The county-level officials sitting in Yangdi were all numb when they saw this scene. Yuan Shu really still had power over this group of people. The problem was that they had all boarded Guo Gong's pirate ship.
"Okay, okay!" Yuan Shu laughed angrily, "I gave you a damn chance, but if you don't seize it, you really think I just brought these people with me."
At the next moment, Yuan Shu's screams came from the Yamen of Yangzhai Mansion after he used the secret technique, "Here, save me, I am Yuan Shu, and the governor of Yuzhou wants to kill me!"
Such screams spread throughout Yangdi City. The people of Yangdi did nothing else and ran directly to the government office. Damn it, the governor must be crazy, kill Mr. Yuan!
