Chapter 174: Governance in accordance with law

discussed with Yang Jie and the others the possibility of directly purchasing their 500,000 catties of grain. But Liu Xian could only accept the price of ten cents per catty at most, that is, their 50 million yuan became 5 million yuan, and the price was directly cut ten times.

This price, Liu Xian thinks it is still more reasonable.

The purchasing power of Wuzhuqian in this era is still relatively strong, if it was before the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, it was generally five cents a pound of rice grain. If it is during the Yellow Turban Riots, this grain price of 100 cents a pound will indeed be bought, because no matter how much money is not as precious as food in troubled times, especially when you are about to starve to death, no matter how high the price of food, someone will buy it.

But now that the Yellow Turban Army has been defeated, normal order of life is now being restored in various places. Ordinary businessmen, rarely like Yang Jie, will still hold on to their own grain, continue to hold the price and estimate, and continue to sell grain at a high price. Therefore, prices have begun to fall somewhat, and now, the price of grain is estimated to be no more than 30 yuan a catty.

In the next six months, grain prices are estimated to stabilize at a range of about 10 cents per catty. Then, after more than a year, it will slowly fall below ten cents a pound until it slowly returns to normal.

This is a law of development. Now all over the Han Dynasty, in the places that are deeply affected by the scourge of the Yellow Turban, even if their local people have no food, the government will definitely find a way to solve part of the relief grain. After that, there will definitely be more big grain merchants who will see the opportunity to make a fortune in this situation, and they will definitely sell grain from other places to the disaster area.

Therefore, the shortage of food is actually only for a certain period of time. As long as the people resume production, and in a few months, they will be able to produce food, then the price of grain will plummet.

Liu Xianming knew that this market would be like this, so he would definitely not set too high a price with Yang Jie and them now. In addition, even if they bought it with Yang Jie and Yang Jie, they still had no money to pay, and they still had to give them a blank note.

For Baitiao, Yang Jie and others were really scared, and they didn't dare to do this anymore. In the end, the Yangshi County government made a guarantee, which was regarded as lending grain to Liu Xian for disaster relief, and within three years, Liu Xian had to return 500,000 catties of good rice and grain, and he had to pay 150,000 catties of grain as interest.

One percent a year, such an interest rate is actually very high, but Liu Xian is indeed unwilling to take advantage of Yang Jie in vain. Because Liu Xian is confident that within two or three years, he will be able to earn enough money, and hundreds of thousands of catties of grain will not be worth mentioning at that time.

Yang Jie: They have no choice but to accept this fact now.

In the end, Yang Jie spent a day moving Izumo from the official office.

At sunset, Liu Xian, Wen Shen and Wang Bao stood in front of the official office and sent Yang Jie away.

When Yang Jie left, Liu Xianyu said to Yang Jie with a warning: "Lord Yang Jie, maybe we still have a lot of places to deal with in the future, but I hope that Lord Yang Jie can focus on the overall situation, and can focus on the people of Yang's County to live and work in peace and contentment, and don't do some things that violate common sense." Especially now that you have accepted so many slaves and servants, is it really good for a wealthy family in a county to go in and out of hundreds of people? Even some real princes and ministers may not have such pomp as you. Hehe, that's all Liu said, you guys do it yourself. ”

A person who aspires to the world should be tolerant. What's more, this time with Yang Jie, strictly speaking, the two sides did not really have a grudge, at most, Yang Jie felt that they had suffered from Liu Xian's calculations, and they couldn't swallow this breath, thinking that they would retaliate back in the future.

But these Liu Xian is not afraid, if Yang Jie and these landlords and tyrants can implement the government's governance in the future, don't go against the sun, don't set up obstacles with the government's politics, then Liu Xian doesn't mean that they must be put to death.

After all, this era is like this, the wealthy families, landlords and tyrants, etc., are some forces that cannot be ignored. They are alone or inconspicuous, but like Yang Jie, if they unite the local landlords and tyrants, then the power formed is also huge.

Let's put it this way, this time it was able to be so fast, in less than a year, it was able to defeat the Yellow Turban Army that swept the Han world, and there was actually the shadow of those wealthy families behind it.

As I mentioned earlier, those ordinary rebel armies are not actually able to be formed if they want to. Because first of all, we must have money, food, weapons and equipment. And where does all this money, food, weapons and equipment come from? In fact, it came from the landlords and local tyrants in those places, and from those wealthy families.

In fact, from ancient times to the present, and even to the postmodern future, there have always been those super-rich predators and those wealthy families. In this era of the Han Dynasty, it is impossible for Liu Xian to change the general trend of the world at once for the time being, and it is impossible to really kill the landlords and tyrants of this world with one shot.

Some things, some people, exist is reasonable. Perhaps, there will be a place and time to use them in the future.

But no matter what, in a place that Liu Xian can control, no matter who it is, it must be done in accordance with the law. Because the Dharma cannot be discarded, and without the Fa, there would be no orderly world. This also includes the Taiping World mentioned in the Taiping Sutra. Even in times of peace and prosperity, there must be a law to maintain the normal operation of society.

After nightfall, Liu Xian, Wen Shen, Wang Bao, as well as Li Yuan, Gao Zhang and other Yang County officials who were only appointed today.

Also, Liu Xian specially sent Chen Gen and Chen Shi back to Liulin Village and invited Liang Ji over. Naturally, it also includes Yu Jin and other people who first joined Liu Xian's former self-defense forces in Liulin Village.

This is to discuss and discuss, and now they can completely control Yang's County, even Yang Jie and them, and they don't dare to make any trouble now. Therefore, now is the best period to govern Yangshi County well and straighten out all civil affairs.

Now Wen Shen is the acting county commander, but he insisted on inviting Liu Xian to the main position, as if Liu Xian was the county commander of Yang's County.

Wen Shen really figured it out at this time, he knew that he was a few catties and a few taels, and this time he was able to seize the power of Yangshi County, all thanks to Liu Xian's methods. Follow-up, how to govern this Yang County well, and how to solve the food problem in the next few months, all depend on Liu Xian.

Therefore, now, he is more willing to follow Liu Xian's orders and arrangements and act according to Liu Xian's plan. Because he was used to it, he felt that there was nothing to do to get Liu Xian.

Liu Xian is naturally indefatigable, if he doesn't dare to sit on the seat of a county order, then how to compete for the emperor's position in the future?
