Saint of the Confucian way

As one of the largest restaurants in Ning'an County, Yuhe restaurant is full of customers on weekdays, but today there are few. Only some scholars with foreign accents are in some single rooms.

In the room of Tianzi shop, twelve scholars were drinking and chatting. Among them, one Hanlin, seven Jinshi and four Ju men were wearing the style of the enlightenment.

"This time Fang Xusheng is afraid that he will be doomed."

"Blame him for his premature participation in the struggle for the holy way, forcing Zong's family and Liushan to stop it."

"However, he clearly can give up the two subjects of people's livelihood and agriculture and spend his own money to let the dragon people use swallowing seashells to buy food everywhere and relieve the people, but he has no plan so far. It can be seen that he doesn't care about the life and death of the people."

"That's a bad word. You can't make a conclusion before the last minute!"

"Fanming has praised Fang Xusheng many times. Naturally, I also know that Fang Xusheng is talented, but if Ning'an county is really hungry, he can't blame it! The name of inhumanity has been confirmed. Of course, everything is only possible. Whether he wants benevolence or benefit depends on how he chooses."

"The rise in food prices is not just a problem, but the beginning of a series of problems. For example, the workers of a private weaving workshop want to eat. Now that the food price is high, they will want higher wages. If the workshop owner gives higher wages, the price of cloth will be more expensive. If the price of cloth rises in the market, the people who buy cloth will spend more money. The same is true for other sundries, which usually involve people The price of everything that costs money will rise. "

"Yes. The price of necessities will rise, but non necessities will be miserable. If no one buys them, they can't afford to feed themselves, and they won't have enough to eat."

"For another example, the price of our wine and vegetables is frightening!"

"Therefore, the test of the other party's virtual saint is great. It depends on whether he can pass it."

"Tomorrow's medical, Taoist and cultural conference, I'm afraid some people will say that under the rule of Fang Yun, the people will be miserable."

"If you are not afraid of anything else, you are afraid of starving."

Fang Yun, who was far away in the yamen, frowned at the latest price leaflet sent by his staff.

Not only did food prices rise, but the prices of a large number of commodities such as vegetables, meat and wine began to soar, and labor costs also began to increase.

The price of coarse grain is close to half of the price of vegetables, which is very dangerous.

Unlike the later generations when farming and animal husbandry were developed, the Shengyuan continent at this time was somewhat similar to the ancient China. Most food depended on food, and ordinary people could not eat meat several times a year. For example, soybean oil and rapeseed oil were extremely expensive, and ordinary people could not cook with oil.

In the Shengyuan continent, most of the land is used to grow food. There are few vegetable fields and the price of vegetables is very high. Even if ordinary people can eat fresh wild vegetables, they just eat them raw or hot, fried or fried. That's the way of big families.

Vegetables are easy to break and difficult to transport, so they are often made into pickles, which together with coarse grain constitute the recipes of ordinary people.

The south is better. It has a suitable climate and rich plant species. There are wild vegetables in all seasons. However, in places like Ning'an County, there is no way to grow vegetables at this time of year. When vegetables that can be kept fresh from other places are transported here, they are bound to be quickly bought up by large families, almost catching up with the price of meat.

Fang Yun sighed. If he didn't see it personally, it's hard to imagine that the life of ordinary people in ancient times was so difficult. However, although Shengyuan continent is close to the Sui Dynasty of ancient China, the species are not as poor as the Sui Dynasty, and many species have entered Shengyuan continent ahead of time.

Moreover, the output of those vegetables and fruits is limited, so it is impossible to reduce grain fields or waste a lot of manpower for them. Therefore, ordinary people can rarely eat them, at least only dignitaries can often eat them.

After reading the biography, Fang Yun once again read the newly compiled theory of plague to find omissions.

Tomorrow is March 19, which is also the day when Ning'an county holds the medical ethics and culture conference.

Different from the ordinary essay meeting, the medical ethics and literature meeting will be held for three days. The theme is Fang Yun's theory of plague.

Fang Yun didn't sleep until dawn in the morning.

March 19 is the day of the medical ethics and Culture Association, and it is also the day selected by Fang Yun himself.

The venue of the medical, Taoist and cultural association is located in the holy temple square of the County Cultural Institute. Since yesterday, the guards and soldiers began to arrange the venue, trying to avoid any problems.

Doctors are an important pillar of the human race. This medical literature meeting is rare for many years, so it has attracted a large number of doctors from ten countries.

At that time, the Grand Master of the medical hall will hold rare virtual building beads to record the whole conference, and then go to ancient places outside the Shengyuan continent to play, so that medical families in other places can learn the most advanced knowledge of the human race.

At night, the whole society will be decorated to welcome doctors and scholars from all countries of the human race.

However, the atmosphere in quanning'an county is extremely depressing.

Early in the morning, Fang Yun received bad news from Cai he, the governor of Qingwu Prefecture, just after washing.

Last night, Yingyang general LAN Xungu said publicly that if Fang Yun could not solve the problem of grain prices in Ning'an County, he could help. LAN Xungu said that the reason why he didn't do it was to take into account Fang Yun's face. Since there was a man-made rumor that Zuo Xiang deliberately caused the grain disaster in Ning'an County, LAN Xungu was willing to sell grain at a fair price in the name of Yingyang army in a few days.

The news has spread in the streets of Ning'an county.

"It's all calculation. If you let Yingyang army come forward, it's tantamount to admitting that you are incompetent in governing the county. Not only can the leftist party beat you, but even the people of Ning'an county will feel that you are incompetent in governing, and put the responsibility on the leftist. Moreover, the food disaster has been solved by the military. At least the people's livelihood branch can't go to B this year." Ao Huang sighed softly.

Fang Yun nodded and said, "eat."

Ao Huang rolled his eyes and said: "What's going on outside? You're at ease. The price of coarse grain has risen six times as much as usual! A large number of poor people have hoarded coarse grain. The price of fine grain is not so exaggerated, but it's still more expensive than coarse grain. If this continues, the price of coarse grain can rise seven times at noon! Fang Yun, I'm afraid this price will be recorded in history!"

"Anyway, historians have brains and won't blame me for the rise in prices. Even if it lasts for thousands of years, it's still the left phase."

"But if you can't solve it, you'll be the smelly one!"

Fang Yun was about to speak when a voice of spring thunder spread all over the city.

"The people in Ning'an city should take it easy. We officials in Mizhou have been paying close attention to the issue of food prices. Yingyang army is ready to sell grain at a fair price. However, the leader of Ning'an county is Fang Yun. Once Yingyang army sells grain at a fair price, the palace test will determine that Fang county magistrate is incompetent and reduce his palace test rating, so Fang Xusheng may not agree. Is the palace test of Fang county magistrate important or that of the people in Ning'an county It's up to county magistrate Fang himself to decide whether his life is important. Here, I ask, county magistrate Fang, is your imperial examination important or the lives of the people in Ning'an county? "

Geng Ge shines his sword.
