Chapter 953 A drop in the ocean

Tian Xin didn't leave.

It is said that he was drunk when he returned home, crying and crying to be loyal to the emperor.

Yang Xuan said that he didn't care about these ants, but Wang Er Er refused, and led the NPC to squat outside the camp at night, frightened so much that his followers came to beg for forgiveness the next day.

Yang Xuan casually said that the second child knew how to behave and was just going to enjoy the cool.

God is sorry, it's cold at night in this weather, who are you fooling?
The attendant didn't dare to argue, shivering with cold, and said to go right away, go right away.

He felt that Yang Xuan ordered Wang Lao Er to squat to guard, just to force himself and his party away.

People are like this, when they feel that things are not going well, they will blame others for their troubles.

But Yang Xuan really looked down on Tian Xin and his party.

He just used Tian Xin to pass a move with Li Bi from Chang'an.

Afterwards, the tool man Tian Xin and the others were naturally not in his eyes.

Get up in the morning, first ask Zhou Ning's situation.

"It's okay, someone from Xuanxue will come to diagnose my pulse today."

Zhou Ning's face looked a little swollen, and Yang Xuan couldn't help feeling a little lost when he thought of that girl back then.

"Zi Tai!"

Zhou Ning reached out and waved in front of his eyes.

Yang Xuan held her hand and said, "A-Ning, why don't you give birth to two!"

Zhou Ning was stunned, and then said softly: "I know."

"Aye!"

There is nothing more invigorating than hearing the yelling of your own children in the early morning.

"Fugui." Ah Liang suddenly called out.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Yang Xuan heard that Ah Liang's cry was different, so he hurried out.

A mouse rushed in front of Ah Liang, and the swordsman was lazily not far away. Obviously, it was the mouse that drove over.

Fu Gui rushed over, stood in front of Ah Liang, and slapped him away with his paw.

The mouse wanted to escape as soon as it turned around, but at some point, the swordsman appeared in front of it, looked at it indifferently, and slapped his paw.

The mouse turned around and rushed towards Ah Liang again.

Fugui roared and grabbed it with one paw.

The mouse was hit by a paw, turned over, and died.

A Liang stared blankly at the dead mouse, Zhou Ning came out, frowning and wanted to speak.

"Shh!"

Yang Xuan put his hand on his lips and shook his head slightly.

Ah Liang walked over and kicked the mouse away with a somewhat staggering kick.

The corners of Yang Xuan's mouth curled up slightly.

Fugui roared at the swordsman.

The swordsman leaped over lightly, and grabbed Fugui's neck within a few strokes. His eyes were icy cold. Yang Xuan was sure that if it wasn't here, he would definitely bite down.

"swordsman!"

A Liang yelled, the swordsman let go of his mouth, slapped Fu Gui down with one paw, then walked up to A Liang, and snarled at him.

"What is the swordsman going to do?" Zhou Ning was puzzled.

"Look." Yang Xuan smiled.

The swordsman walked up to the dead mouse, stretched out his paw, slapped it away with a false paw, raised his head and roared at Ah Liang.

Then, the figure flickered...

Zhou Ning covered his mouth, "Why does it seem like you are teaching Ah Liang to hunt?"

"That's right!" Yang Xuan said: "The swordsman felt that Ah Liang had reached the age of learning to hunt, so he taught him. But wealth hindered him. Fortunately, he was at home, otherwise just the previous one, wealth would be over."

"Is this good or bad?" Zhou Ning asked.

"I don't think it's a bad thing!"

"Why?"

"The road ahead is long, and I don't know how many obstacles A Liang will encounter. I hope he will have the courage and ability to kick over those obstacles."

"I understand."

Zhou Ning was a little confused because she was in labor, so she ordered, "Come here."

"Lady!" Huahong stepped forward.

"Tell the kitchen to give the swordsman the best mutton today!"

"Yes!"

……

Yang Xuan went to the Jiedu envoy's mansion.

"Training soldiers in spring."

Song Zhen became the leader of Beijiang, and started working consciously.When the new official took office, he put forward several suggestions.

"Spring training, by the way, I think it's time to expand the army."

Song Zhen obviously discussed this matter with Liu Qing, and Liu Qing said: "Yes! Northern Xinjiang is going to attack northward, and the farther it goes, the more dispersed its forces will be. And we have to beware of a possible surprise attack from Chang'an."

Attacking north is the strategy Yang Xuan set up last year. Starting from the 12th year of Daqian, the strategic focus of the entire northern Xinjiang will be on this area.

There are currently 12 troops in northern Xinjiang, which seems to be a lot, but northern Xinjiang is bordered by Beiliao in an all-round way, and troops need to be stationed everywhere. As a result, the troops will be dispersed.

The second is Chang'an.

After being the same as the enemy with Chang'an, Northern Xinjiang must adjust the deployment of troops, and transfer part of the army to the rear to guard against possible sneak attacks from the south.

In Huang Chunhui's era, although the relationship with Chang'an was tense, it was far from the level where he needed to be wary of the other party's sneak attack.

In the Yang Xuan era, this trouble came quietly.

Neither Liu Qing nor Song Zhen mentioned this matter, which can be regarded as a taboo for the Venerable.

"I know that some people in Beijiang said that I shouldn't turn against Chang'an. At least, I should hold off for a few years. When the strength of Beijiang can make Chang'an dare not speak up, I will make a move."

Yang Xuan said: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on. Chang'an's suppression of my northern border is not because of my attitude towards Chang'an. From the moment I took Neizhou, Chang'an's attitude towards northern border is impossible to turn back. One point, you have to analyze and explain with the officials and generals below."

The most taboo within a group is suspicion and full of complaints.

"Yes."

The two agreed.

Yang Xuan felt that the atmosphere was a bit tense, so he smiled and said: "Last year I thought about expanding the army. Mr. Liu said that there is no money and food for the expansion of the army. There is one thing. This year, Mr. Liu has changed his course, so it can be seen that it has been paid!"

Liu Qing said with a smile: "Although the wasteland has been exempted from tax for three years, the people have to sell the grain in their hands. After selling the grain, they can't help but buy it when they have money in their hands. Clothing, food, housing and transportation cost money everywhere. Merchants, workers The workshops have earned a lot. Last year, the taxes I collected in this area in northern Xinjiang increased by [-]%."

"It's a rising tide that lifts all boats."

Yang Xuan said.

"Oh!" Song Zhen doesn't know much about economics, but now he and Liu Qing are in charge of the political affairs in northern Xinjiang, and they are in contact with countless affairs in this area every day, and they urgently need to learn.

"Tell me, Zitai."

"The economy is divided into two categories, one is controlled by the Jiedu government, and the other is left alone. The Jiedu government only controls taxes."

Various regulatory tools from another world are useless in this era.

"When I was in Chang'an, I saw that Chang'an's economy was in a state of no concern. The government only knew how to collect taxes. As for how the merchants operated and how the farmers cultivated, they didn't care."

"These are the current methods of operation. I think it's not good to let go of it, and it's not good to manage it too carefully."

"How do we manage it?" Song Zhen asked, "Over the years, the government has never cared about these things."

"Why not?" Yang Xuan said.

"I haven't seen the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion take care of it!" Song Zhen was puzzled.

Yang Xuan said: "Do you still remember the battle between the northern border tycoons and us?"

"Food war?"

Song Zhen narrowed his eyes, "During that battle, the tyrants tightened their grip on the sale of grain, and the price of grain in the market soared..."

"They didn't know that Zitai had been prepared for a long time, and they took a two-pronged approach to drive down the price of food." Liu Qing said with a smile: "In that battle, the tycoons in northern Xinjiang suffered a lot."

Yang Xuan said: "This is a kind of control."

Song Zhen's eyes lit up, "Is this the upper-level regulation?"

"Correct."

Yang Xuan continued: "As the Jiedu envoy, what we need to do is to control from a high level, not to compete with businessmen for every penny."

Song Zhen picked up the brush, made a stack of blank paper, and looked up, "Do you have an example?"

Yang Xuan said: "For example, the grain harvest is much more than the northern border and the actual needs. So, what should we do?"

Song Zhen recorded that Liu Qing glanced at him, curled his lips, and thought: Is this worth remembering?
"Under such circumstances, we have to assess the situation and first analyze the relationship between the demand and supply of grain in the medium and long term. If it is determined that the oversupply is only a short-term behavior, then the Jiedu Envoy should hold up grain prices and open up purchases. As for harvesting The grain that comes here can be stored, resold, or brewed.”

"What if the supply exceeds demand in the long run?" Song Zhen asked with a brush dipped in ink.

How do you look like a student?
Yang Xuan coughed dryly, "Two ways, one is to think about the crops that are currently in short supply in the market, and after analyzing them, guide farmers to replant them, and do a good job of selling them..."

"It turned out to be like this?" Liu Qing picked up the brush.

An official came to look for Liu Qing in a hurry.

"Si Ma Ke is here?" He asked under the steps outside the lobby.

The little official on duty said softly, "Sima has something to do."

"Then don't drive?" The official looked anxious.

"I have something to do." The little official said, seeing that the official was in a hurry, he asked, "But there is an urgent business?"

The official nodded, "Yes!"

"Let me see."

The little official walked up the steps, took a look inside, turned around, and saw the official following closely behind him, staring intently at the lobby.

"...What wealth has a definite number? It's about the fate of an individual. How can a group or a region have a definite number of wealth? This is pure nonsense!"

Yang Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, frowning slightly.

Song Biejia held the brush in his hand, raised his head and said, "There are many scholars in Chang'an who say so."

"How did they know?" Yang Xuan asked.

"What the sages said."

"Can the sages know the current situation?"

"Of course I don't know."

"Times have changed and the world has changed. It's not bad, but stupid to ask for everything from old papers."

Yang Xuan unceremoniously ridiculed those idiots, "Wealth comes from people's creation, workshops, commerce, and agriculture. Let me give you a simple example. Let me say that in northern Xinjiang, the annual grain output ten years ago is not the same as it is today. high?"

Song Zhen shook his head, suddenly realized, "Ten years ago, there were not so many iron objects, such as cattle, horses and sheep."

"So it is!" Liu Qing wrote furiously.

The economy is the top priority of the government affairs of the Jiedu Ambassador. Yang Xuan has long wanted to talk about this matter with several main assistants, but today is an opportunity.

"As I said earlier, the Jiedu government's economic management and control must be precise, and it must be confirmed after repeated investigations. This requires us to understand the economy and the economic laws.

This point is not only for you two to learn, but also for others.I don't want to see the high-ranking person make a decision as soon as he slaps his head, and then become a turtle after suffering a heavy loss. "

"Yes!"

Yang Xuan said: "If you want to learn about economics, you must first figure out the purpose of developing the economy. If you get the purpose wrong, you will go the wrong way."

"The purpose of economic development is to enrich the people, enrich the country and strengthen the army. This is the order. If you get the order wrong, you will put the cart before the horse and make muddled decisions."

"Enrich the people first?" Song Zhen asked, "Shouldn't it be the first to strengthen the army?"

"Is there any powerful and disturbing enemy in the current Datang and Northern Xinjiang?"

Song Zhen shook his head.

"Then, the first goal of economic development is to enrich the people. Only when the people are rich can the economy develop in an all-round way.

Let me give you an example. Last year's harvest was bumper, and those farmers who opened up wasteland were exempted from taxes for three years. Many people were jealous and said that taxes should be collected. I dismissed two officials, which suppressed this trend.

Looking at this year again, the benefits of last year's bumper harvest and no taxation for farmers have come. Business is booming, workshops are getting bigger and bigger, wine shops, cloth shops, animal husbandry, and even small stalls, all walks of life have benefited from this. .Immediately, the taxes collected by governments at all levels increased on a large scale..."

Yang Xuan pointed to the void, "What is this? This is a small river full of water. This is to make the steamed buns bigger first, and then distribute them. What is economy? This is economy."

"Economics is not about fishing at the bottom of the river. Economics is a science, and there is no answer in the sage books."

"So, where should I go to find the answer?" Song Zhen asked.

"Go to the people, go to the workshop, go to the field, go to the market. Go to talk to the people, go to talk to the craftsmen, go to talk to the farmers, go to talk to the businessmen... Only by bending over can you learn the true skills. In the value room, those who rely on the so-called sage books and imagination to make decisions are all idiots!"

After speaking, Yang Xuan felt that today should be over.

Mouth is a little dry, but where is the water?

These little officials are getting more and more outrageous.

Go back and re-establish the rules!

Yang Xuan turned around, frowned and prepared to reprimand.

But there were people around the door.

Petty officials, officials... everyone is holding paper in their left hand and pen in their right hand, and they are writing vigorously.

……

Yang Xuan didn't expect that his one class would disturb the entire Jiedu Ambassador's mansion.

Back to the duty room, He Lianyan came to see me.

"Lang Jun, although I don't understand, but listening to those words, I feel that every word is worth a lot. This kind of knowledge should not be passed on to the outside world. Can you keep your mouth shut?"

"threaten?"

"Yes! Whoever dares to leak what your husband said today, the whole family will be exiled!"

"No need to be murderous."

"Lang Jun didn't see that Pan Rong, the head of the Jiedushi's mansion, used to say that the duke was wise when he met everyone."

Pan Rong was the head of the Jiedu envoy's mansion. He had been at the top of the high school in the imperial examinations, but he was too smooth, and he offended his superiors and colleagues, and was later pushed out to northern Xinjiang.

When this person arrived in northern Xinjiang, he was full of complaints, feeling that he was a great talent, but he could not be reused.Between the words, even Liu Qing and Song Zhen didn't pay attention.

"Never mind."

"Those knowledge spread out..."

"I'll just say it casually."

He Lianyan: "..."

"Lang Jun."

Lin Feibao came in, "A letter from the south."

Yang Lue?

Yang Xuan's heart tightened, and then he was overjoyed.

"I'm going home."

Yang Xuan got up and went out.

When I got to the front, I saw Pan Rong talking to a few colleagues.

"...When those idiots in Chang'an talked about the economy, it must have been said by the sages, but they themselves have no opinions. They are sharp on paper, but they are messy in practice. If the words of the Duke of the State today are spread to Chang'an, those idiots will definitely be dumbfounded."

Someone said: "Master Pan, you used to be looked down upon by everyone."

The thin Pan Rong coughed dryly, "I look down on others, but the Duke, that's what Pan admires."

He Lianyan stood at the back, and He Lianrong came quietly, "The words of the Duke of the State, spread out, are a good way to govern the country. Do you want to silence it?"

"The Duke doesn't allow it." He Lianyan shook her head.

"Why?" He Lianrong was puzzled, "Whether it is Ningxing or Chang'an, they will definitely make a decision to keep silent."

He Lianyan looked at the aloof Chief Pan, "Lang Jun said, what he said was just casual."

"Just say it casually?" He Lianrong's cheeks trembled.

"Yes, do you know the meaning of these words?"

"The words about the economy are just a corner of the Duke's full knowledge."

Helianyan shook her head.

"No, it's a drop in the ocean!"
