Chapter 1554 Dismounting
Yang Biao remained silent. Of course, he knew that Yuan Quan's intention was not to say that he was not polite to the people, but to say that he put the court first in everything. Of course, he had to put the court first. This time he came to be the envoy of the court and provided reference for the decision-making of the court, so as not to issue an edict but be rejected by Sun Ce and lose all his face. The court had already swept his dignity and could not even lose the last trace of decency.
But he could not refute Yuan Quan. The root cause of the chaos in the world was man-made disasters, not natural disasters. The greed of the powerful families led to the increasing annexation of land. The people lost their land and became refugees. The court lost their financial resources and was unable to support the people or suppress the disturbances. Things in the world collapsed step by step. All people with conscience were extremely distressed, but they were powerless. If they wanted to solve the current dilemma, it seemed that only by implementing official deliberations and the court had financial resources, they could turn the tide and rebuild their strength.
But the official court is a rude government that competes for profit with the people and violates Confucian beliefs. Sang Hongyang was an important official in the Wu Dynasty, but his history books were not passed down, and scholars used ignorance and forgetting to express their derogation. Now that Sun Ce is giving benefits to the people and resting with the people, he has to implement official court and become a cruel official in the Sang Hongyang family. Even if he is in a hurry to follow the power, he is a little unspeakable.
Yang Biao hesitated for a moment and eased his tone. "It is of course good governance to put the people first in everything. I am afraid that knowledge is easy to do, but it is difficult to implement it in a hurry."
"I don't know what my uncle is referring to?"
Yang Biao bent his finger and gently tucked the case in front of him. "You are so busy with your livelihood in Yuzhou. Although you are filial, your expenses are too high. I and your aunt are uneasy."
Yuan Quan laughed, his face was like a peach blossom, his lips slightly pursed, with both the playful and naughty younger generations in front of the elders, and a hint of uncontrollable pride. "My uncle is half right."
"Why half?"
"I did spend some money to welcome my uncle and aunt. Although it is a public or private gift, it is also my duty as a junior, and it is an expense after all."
"Where is the other half?"
"These money is neither spent from the Yuzhou Muslim Mansion nor from the Runan Prefecture Mansion, nor even required free food and accommodation along the way. Every money spent is my own."
"Your own?" Mrs. Yuan was shocked. "A Quan, are you so rich now?"
"It's not considered rich, but my aunt rarely returns to her hometown. I can't be stingy, so I worry that I'm not doing well. I did have some hard days in the past few years, but now I've been through it."
Mrs. Yuan sighed and glanced at Yang Biao dissatisfiedly. The hard life Yuan Quan mentioned was naturally not only the hardships in life, but also other things. As Yuan Quan's uncle, Yang Biao had almost never given any help to their brothers in any sense. For this matter, she and Yang Biao had quarreled with Yang Biao several times. Now that Yuan Quan complained in person, she could only bear it.
Yang Biao looked away with guilt and looked at the knight outside. "A Quan, you are modest. Although my uncle has little knowledge, he also knows that raising soldiers is not easy. Your nearly a thousand people's weapons are worth a lot of money."
"People are the legacy left to me by my father, and the ordnances were produced by my own workshop." Yuan Quan said lightly: "My uncle only saw a part of it. I have a total of 4,000 pieces. Although I am not an elite, I can barely watch it."
Yang Biao opened his mouth, his throat a little dry. "Si... Qian?"
Mrs. Yuan couldn't help asking: "A Quan, why do you have so many plots?"
Yuan Quan smiled. "Auntie, I just said that this was left to me by my father. I don't fight, so where did I get the loss? How many people he left to me back then? Now there are so many people."
"Sun Bofu didn't use it?"
"He has Jiangdong soldiers, so there is no need to use my troops." Yuan Quan smiled. "These people are to protect our sisters and sisters. Of course, if my husband encounters trouble, I will not be stingy. No matter who he is, even if he dies together, he will fight."
Mrs. Yuan nodded. "That's right, such a good husband is indeed worthy of your cherishment."
Yang Biao coughed and concealed his embarrassment. "A Quan, haven't you said that you got so much money and can support four thousand divisions?"
"Didn't you forget that I have a workshop that mainly produces weapons and also makes some agricultural tools, and the profit is pretty good. In recent years, the supply of weapons is in short supply. We have made some money. Of course, a lot of money is on the books and it will take several years to recover. I sold the workshop shares and converted them into cash, otherwise I wouldn't be able to show this. Aunt, I'm telling the truth. Don't be angry and think I'm crying poor. If my uncle hadn't asked, I wouldn't say it."
Mrs. Yuan couldn't help laughing and reached out to hit Yuan Quan. "You kid, you have to say anything. What else can I say? I can't enjoy your entertainment, and I have to say something ugly." As she said that, she blinked and smiled knowingly.
Yang Biao closed his mouth and said nothing. He was not stupid, so how could he not understand the implication of Yuan Quan's words? Sun Ce had no money, not only did he have no money, but he also owed a large debt, which would take several years to pay it off. So, he had to pay it off, but he had to pay it off. He had to pay it off, but he had to start a war, so he would accompany him!
This is fine, he was shameless and came from afar. Before Sun Ce could see him, his mouth was blocked first.
Yang Biao didn't say anything, but Yuan Quan refused to give up. "Uncle, what did the court say about the imperial edict? Year after year, it should be a result, right?"
Yang Biao glared at Yuan Quan angrily. "This is the matter of the court, and it is also something you, a woman, can ask?"
"Women cannot ask about the affairs of the court, do women not charge their taxes?"
"you……"
Yuan Quan smiled with his lips and bowed to Yang Biao. "Don't calm down, I'm just a joke. But..." She paused. "I'm going to Yuzhou. It's best not to say such words, especially not to say in front of a woman. If you treat a woman with a villain equally, there will inevitably be people who treat you with a villain regardless of decency."
"Is that right?" Yang Biao sneered, disagreed.
Yuan Quan smiled and looked at Yang Biao quietly. Yang Biao was uncomfortable when he saw him and coughed twice. "What, I was wrong again?"
"I dare not." Yuan Quan smiled. "My uncle is a rare minister in the court. If even my uncle thinks so, then I have nothing to worry about."
Yang Biao was stunned, his eyes shrank involuntarily. He heard Yuan Quan's warning, which was definitely not just a verbal statement. It was never a secret that the Yuan family had ambitions. Yuan Shao was like this, and Yuan Shu was not much better, but he just didn't have the chance to stand out. Sun Ce inherited Yuan Shu's foundation and now occupied the five states. Anyone knew that he could not be a pure minister. The court knew this and he knew it. Since he was an opponent, he should know himself and his enemy. One of his purposes in Guandong was to check the truth and reality. He was also very attentive along the way, but did he really know what Sun Ce was doing? Does the court really understand what Sun Ce was doing? There is a lot of news that does not require any effort to collect. It is said by the people and everyone knows it, but did they really pay attention? They only saw the carriage in Nanyang, only saw the weapons in Nanyang, only saw the papers and various novel things in Nanyang, but they could not see the real actions of Sun Ce.
Cai Yan in Nanyang presided over the kindergarten and started the lecture. Qin Luo presided over the wooden school, developed a new loom and continuously launched better carriages. Yuan Quan and others opened workshops in Pingyu to produce weapons. These are not secrets, but how many people realized the significance of it? No, not one.
