Chapter 733 Greed is the original sin(1/2)
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 it twice?"
"Look there." The sergeant pointed to the side, where more than ten men were basking in the scorching sun. "It will take a month to repair the city! Whoever wants to learn from them, just come!"
"If you don't come, you won't come!"
One month, no more work at home!
The gain outweighs the loss.
"Yang Gou has brought food again!"
The powerful people at the gathering were stunned.
"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, and after everyone calmed down, he said: "A 30% price reduction, can we afford it?"
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 you lose 30%, a lot of your family’s expenses will be affected.
Sun Xian said: "In that case, let's see how much food Yang Gou can get. I don't believe it!"
"good!"
Everyone has a sense of luck.
Maybe Yang Gou can last for one day at most.
Tomorrow, everything will be business 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 people. Only rich people can make offerings to the gods. The gods also need 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 and said, "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 would leap over the dragon's gate and become great men, but such examples are too rare."
Han Ji and Yang Xuan were drinking.
Right at the Han family.
Yang Xuan took a sip of wine, and Han Ying came in with a plate of vegetables. Yang Xuan smiled and said, "That's about it. 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 here, 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 couldn't persuade him any more.
"This daughter! It gives me a headache." Han Ji smiled bitterly, "Children are debts!"
Ah Liang is still young, so he should be good in the future... Yang Xuan continued the previous topic, "Studying costs money, and for ordinary people, studying is something that is elusive but unattainable.
The common people have passed the imperial examination, but in fact the so-called common people are also the children of officials and officials, they are just from ordinary backgrounds."
Han Ji nodded, "Therefore, the poor will still be poor, and the rich will still be rich."
"No, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer." Yang Xuan picked up a piece of dried meat and it was a good drink. "For ordinary people, if they want to change their background, there are only two ways, joining the army or
read.
To join the army is to use one's own life to find a way among thousands of troops. Only one person in ten thousand will succeed.
And compared with them, who are illiterate, those who are born into generals, those who are powerful officials, those who are...even the children of local powerful people, are more likely to be promoted in the army."
Han Ji put a chopstick on the table, "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? With so few places, how can ordinary people compete with the local powerful, local landowners, businessmen, and officials?
In the end, the official school became a place for local elites to train their children, while the common people still faced the earth with their backs to the sky."
Han Ji squinted his eyes, "Lang Jun saw through the barrier between the common people and the carnivores at a glance, I..." He stood up and held his hands in his hands, "I have learned a lesson."
"Why so!" Yang Xuan smiled.
"I have thought about the various shortcomings of the Tang Dynasty, such as the annexation of land, and the dim officialdom... But Lang Jun saw the crux of the problem at a glance, reading!"
Han Ji's admiration was sincere and he couldn't help but feel happy, "How come these meat-eaters from aristocratic families, dignitaries, and local tycoons can 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, it's just a joke. Many people are so stupid that it's unbelievable, even stupider than a pig."
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "They are stupid, but they have an advantage."
"What?"
"Will be reincarnated!"
Han Ji was startled, "This is so 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 so many benefits in the world, and they don't have enough for themselves. How can they be willing to give in?
Someone come and take a share of the pie?”
"I call this monopoly!" Yang Xuan took a sip of wine. "In order to monopolize the benefits that a class can obtain at the moment, 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 is in Taiping and started his business in Chenzhou.
Most of the students in the school are civilians..."
Could it be that Lang Jun has been trying to solve this problem since then?
Yang Xuan nodded slightly.
Han Ji was excited and said, "Sure enough, I got it right, Lang Jun..."
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, then shook his head with difficulty, "I'm afraid it's... difficult!"
"What are you thinking about?" Yang Xuan looked at him and asked.
Han Ji said slowly: "I'm thinking, if we let them come up, what will happen to my children and grandchildren? There are only so many official positions in the world, and they come up, what will happen to my children and grandchildren who could have been a shadow? People don't care for themselves. ,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 does the gentleman mean?"
Yang Xuan put the wine bottle on the table, wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth, and said with a stern look, "I want to smash everything!"
…
"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.
To be continued...
