In the middle of the woven wool carpet, there are two people sitting across the table.

The lower part of the hall was also full of people, and there were so many people that there was no room for them to sit inside the hall. Mi Heng, like you, stood outside the hall right now.

Mi Heng stood on tiptoes and looked inside. There was one person Mi Heng knew, Wang Chang. The other person was also quite young, but Mi Heng didn't recognize him. Mi Heng looked up and looked at the hanging on the side of the main lecture hall.

A wooden sign with the words Fan Yang and Lu family on it.

Fan Yang Lu's Mi Heng was a little surprised, and then suddenly realized.

It seems that they were all attracted by the Fan Yang Lu family. After all, this surname was also resounding throughout the Han Dynasty.

Start a debate?

Mi Heng stretched his head.

Oh, not bad, just starting

I only heard that in the hall, the young man from the Fan Yang Lu family raised his hand and said to Wang Chang: I have heard about you in Youzhou.

Brother Wang does not hesitate to teach you

Dear brother, please speak frankly. Wang Chang said.

Wang Chang was also an expert in debating before, but after he became an official, he gradually became less involved in debating.

This time it was also because Fan Yang and Lu family invited Lu Yu

Lu Yu is the youngest son of Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi can be said to be a well-known scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty. As his youngest son, Lu Yu traveled around Yuzhou and Jizhou. Later, he felt that the officialdom under Cao Cao was in turmoil, so he returned to his home in Youzhou to avoid trouble.

The war started again in Zhouzhou, and they were forced to leave again and moved to Guanzhong.

This time I found Wang Chang. Although it was for a debate on the surface, in fact, it was to make a name for myself. As a Wang family from Taiyuan, Wang Chang had a good relationship with Lu family from Fan Yang before, so he was willing to accompany Lu Yu in such a debate.

One game.

Winning or losing is not important, what is important is to stand on the stage first.

Lu Yu looked around slightly and found that there were indeed many people gathered, and he felt a little nervous in his heart.

Wang Chang smiled and nodded at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu cleared his throat and said loudly: Today there are merchants who sell goods with a low desire to buy and a high desire to sell high. The rich have tens of thousands of gold in their homes, endless streets and thousands of slaves, just like untitled kings and untitled marquises.

In the barns, the rice and millet are rotten, in the courtyards, the clothes are spread out, and these people do nothing to farm or to farm, how on earth will they benefit the country?

Wang Chang nodded and stretched out his hand to signal Lu Yu to continue.

This question of the businessman was not only raised by Lu Yu today, it has been a very attractive issue in Qinglong Temple for a long time. It can even be said that since Fei Qian's soldiers overpowered him and shared the position with the other three

When the police came, they opened fire on businessmen. After all, it is politically correct to criticize businessmen. If they criticize farmers and workers, then there is something wrong with their thinking.

Lu Yu continued: Today Guanzhong has abundant industries, including porcelain, tea, cloth, brocade, weapons, battle armor, cattle, sheep, and war horses, in exchange for Shandong paint, horn, glue, hemp, indigo, madder, pine oil, and shells.

If we talk about the things, they are all the hard work of the people, so why are the east and west different? The rich in the three auxiliaries in Guanzhong are more than rich, and the poor in Jingchu and Yan are more than poor?

Wang Chang touched the beard on his chin and nodded. This question is more interesting than the previous one.

Unlike Sanfu in Guanzhong, the farmers east of Laoshan have indeed had a very hard and miserable life in recent years.

On the one hand, these farmers have to withstand the invasion of war, and on the other hand, they also need to bear taxes and corvee. Of course, there is also a hidden aspect. These farmers in Shandong are also forced to share the damage caused by the industrial scissor gap caused by the three assistants in Guanzhong.

In order to maintain their original luxurious life, the Shandong gentry passed on the balance of trade to ordinary farmers, allowing these farmers to bear more expenditures, receive less remuneration, bear higher land rents, and bear heavier labor.

Food prices are falling again and again, and taxes are rising again and again.

Those with industry support are better.

After all, the industrial and commercial development of Sanfu in Guanzhong will also make these small Shandong estates and small landowners jealous. They will imitate Feiqian's model to operate and set up large-scale operations, such as unified production, concentrated planting, etc., so as to facilitate more

Collect more hemp, indigo, pine oil, shells and other items needed in Guanzhong.

In addition, merchants in Shandong are basically under the control of the nobles. In order to obtain higher profits, these merchants will increase the selling prices of some items and reduce the prices of agricultural products based on their own needs and the requirements of the nobles.

purchase price, and further bloodletting the farmers under its jurisdiction.

From this aspect, Lu Yu's dislike of businessmen and his thoughts on the suffering of Shandong farmers can be regarded as inheriting some of his father's spiritual inheritance.

Wang Chang thought for a moment, and did not immediately answer Lu Yu's question, but asked: If you think of it as a good brother, what should you do?

Farming is the foundation of the country, so it should be emphasized. First of all, we should farm and eat together. When we are busy, the wise can work with the people. When the farming is slack, the wise can weave mats and teach together.

Secondly, things should be equally distributed. The surplus of people should be gathered in one place and distributed by the wise. No hoarding should be allowed, and no two prices should be paid. Only in this way can the people be treated fairly.

Third, it should be dispersed to benefit the people. What the superiors like should be followed by the subordinates. Under the cavalry, there are many properties, which are beneficial to the people. Therefore, if the subordinates imitate more, it will be a disaster in the long run.

Wang Chang couldn't help laughing as he listened.

I didn’t expect that this Lu Yu was really
Chapter completed!
