Xun Yu smiled and arched his hand, not daring.

Yang Biao stroked his beard and put away his smile. Situ is a foreign official, and the door of Situ's Mansion is open, and scholars can go to Situ's Mansion at any time to ask for a meeting if they have opinions. Most of the time he is not dealing with official business, but receiving and listening to opinions from all sides. There were sixty or seventy officials in Situ Mansion, most of whom were scholars, so how could he not know the reaction caused by the change of law among scholars.

Chang'an was stable, workshops were built, and many craftsmen returned to their hometowns from Nanyang. This would have been a good thing, these craftsmen have the skills and will be of great help to improve the technical level and product quality of the Guanzhong Workshop, but the requirements they put forward are ridiculously high and exceed everyone's expectations. Among them, the craftsmen of the Wood School are the most significant, and an ordinary craftsman actually needs an income of three or four hundred stones, which is equivalent to a county magistrate.

Scholars study hard for several years, and work as officials in the palace or prefecture and county for several years before they have the opportunity to be appointed as the county magistrate, which takes more than ten years. A craftsman can actually get so much money, and when the officials can't pay the full amount on time, they can get the salary on a monthly basis, which can't help but make the scholars indignant, especially the officials in the palace and various provinces, who are extremely dissatisfied with this and complain a lot.

The income of three or four hundred stone has already caused such a big discussion, what will be the reaction of a person who is familiar with agriculture to take 2,000 stone? Zhao Guo invented the method of substitution, which can increase the yield by one stone per mu, and the official is only a thousand stones. Sun Ce can let Huang Chengyan take 2,000 stones, can Chang'an? As the main executor of the change, can Situ Yang Biao withstand such public opinion pressure?

Xun Yu borrowed Sun Ce to talk about things and put this problem in front of Yang Biao, naturally not to embarrass Yang Biao, but to remind Yang Biao that if this problem cannot be solved, it will not be able to withstand the pressure of public opinion, and there will be no way to talk about changing the law, but it will be lively on the surface.

Yang Biao was silent for a long time. Although he is not a member of the party, he has experienced party discussions and knows how powerful public opinion is. There are so many scholars in Chang'an, they are all eager for the imperial court to arrange official positions for them, if the imperial court does not arrange them, but attaches importance to craftsmen and farmers, the whole public opinion will soon turn, and the party may reappear, and he will bear the brunt and become the target of public criticism. He can not care about his reputation, but he can't think about the consequences. The two party leaders have already defeated the Han Dynasty, and if you do it again, without Yuan Shao and Sun Ce, the court itself will be finished.

"Wen Ruo, I'm sitting on top of my salary."

Xun Yu bowed and saluted. "If it's not Yang Gong, who can take on this responsibility? His Majesty knows Yang Gong's hard work, and everyone in the world will know it in the future. ”

Yang Biao smiled bitterly and waved his hand, twisting his fingers and being silent for a moment. "Wen Ruo, Zichu, do you have any good ideas, let's talk about it together."

Xun Yu looked at Liu Ba and seemed to be smiling.

Liu Ba smiled. "It's not difficult to say that it's not difficult, there are two solutions: first, although the income of the craftsmen in Nanyang Wood School is high, it is not all paid by Wood School, and most of their income comes from the cost of technology transfer, and Sun Ce does not need to bear it. We can do the same. Second, follow the story of the Lords of Su Bai and replace income with knighthoods. What people want, but the word rich. Sun Ce can make them rich, but he can't make them expensive, which is a privilege only available to the imperial court. For craftsmen and farmers who don't need to socialize, a hundred stones is enough to worry about food and clothing, and an additional two or three hundred stones is not of much significance, and it is not as attractive as a title. If the imperial court issues an edict, and those who are familiar with agriculture and can cultivate fields can be knighted, I think there will be many people who are self-exalted and courageous, and they will recommend themselves, if all rivers return to the sea. ”

Xun Yu stroked his palm and smiled. "Zichu is really a good material for the country and the world, this method is good."

Yang Biao said: "But this is still inevitable from readers." ”

Liu Ba hesitated for a moment. "Yang Gong, what Sun Ce doesn't like the most is the scholars who sit and talk about the Tao, even if these people leave Chang'an, there is nowhere else to go, and Yang Gong doesn't need to care too much about the criticism of the moment. When the situation in Guanzhong eases in the future, Taixue will be rebuilt, so that the scholars who are knowledgeable can do learning and history with peace of mind, and they will naturally understand Yang Gong's hard work. ”

Yang Biao sighed a few times in succession. "Wen Ruo, Zichu, it's okay for me to bear some infamy, but have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this? The gentleman is righteous, the villain is profitable, and what you and I are talking about here is all profit. Are those who read books just some of them? They have come with loyalty to the court, for the sake of righteousness, and it is not appropriate for us to turn them away. As for the learning ...... Nanyang County," Yang Biao shook his head again and again, obviously disapproving.

Liu Ba was silent. He is also a scholar, and he has come to Chang'an thousands of miles away, and he can best understand the feelings of those readers. He would also be very angry if he was treated like this. But he can't agree with Yang Biao's opinion. The "Ouyang Shangshu" handed down by the Yang family is the current Wenjing, but the learning methods of Handan Chun, Hu Zhao and others in Nanyang County are the ancient Wenjing all the way, and they go further. Yang Biao is dissatisfied with this, I am afraid that it is still the discrimination of the ancient scriptures in the present Wenjing. To this day, the shortcomings of the modern Wenjing have become so significant, and he still holds such a concept unchanged, which is inevitably too conservative.

Xun Yu glanced at Liu Ba quietly, and said lightly: "What Situ said is very true. However, the gentleman is poor, the master is inferior to Chen Cai, and he sings without eating for seven days, if he can really aspire to the Tao, how can he complain because of temporary poverty? Such a person can't spread the avenue, and the momentary gains and losses have nothing to do with the overall situation. ”

Yang Biao shook his head with a solemn expression. "Wen Ruo, this is a bad statement. Sun Ce was born from a humble background, he read little, and it is understandable that he is mercenary, but you are a descendant of Xun Jun, and you have a common relationship, how can you meet him in general? The way is moral, and the etiquette is the foundation of the government. Although morality is used to govern peace, and power is used in troubled times, we must not forget to educate. The ancestors persuaded to learn, lure it to Lu, respect it to the title, raise the scholar for a hundred years, this is the style of today's morale, if because of the difficulties in front of you, abandon morality such as a shoe, even if the chaos is successful, what can you do, the promotion is not yet available, and the situation is peaceful. ”

Yang Biao paused, eased his color, and said earnestly: "Wen Ruo, Zichu, I am half a hundred years old, and I probably can't see the world of Shengping." For the benefit of the country, I don't care about the name behind me, but you are the hope of the court, and you can't mess around. Especially you, Wen Ruo, the Son of Heaven is young, and he needs your patient assistance, imperceptibly, to teach the way of the Holy King, and guide him to the king of Yao Shun. Walking on the frost is hard and icy, but you can't be careful. ”

Xun Yu's scalp was numb, and although Yang Biao said it mildly, he couldn't afford this accusation. He fell on his face, sweating like pulp. "Abide by Yang Gong's teachings, Yu must be vigilant in the morning and dusk, trembling, and dare not forget for a moment."

Liu Ba frowned and sighed quietly.
