Chapter 338

Zhang Xiu and Cao Jie strolled around the city with high leisure. Towards noon, he was far away from the general's house. Instead of going home for dinner, he found a nearby restaurant to have dinner.

In the afternoon, it was still drizzling. Misty rain, cool weather, particularly comfortable. Zhang Xiu and Cao Jie strolled for more than an hour and bought countless items before returning.

Back at home, Zhang Xiu gives Huang Yueying the jade pendant she bought and the rest of her gifts. Huang Yueying, who was originally in a depressed mood, smiles again when she sees the gift selected by Zhang Xiu.

For a moment, the depression was gone.

Huang Yueying's temperament is simple.

Zhang Xiu didn't take her out, but when she came back with a gift, she became happy.

Because Zhang Xiu is thinking about her.

Zhang Xiu accompanied Huang Yueying for a while, then went back to her study and arranged for someone to ask about Guoyuan.

Guoyuan was still in the Yamen of the Ministry of officials, and was specially received by Xu Shu.

Zhang Xiu arranged for Xu Shu and Guoyuan to come. When they entered the study, they bowed to each other and sat down. Xu Shu took the lead in saying, "my Lord, I've learned a lot from talking with Mr. Guoyuan. Mr. Guoyuan has great insight and talent. "

He saw Zhang Xiu's letter, so he personally received Guoyuan. Xu YuanHou also thinks that he has outstanding ability to talk with Shu Yuan. In addition, Guoyuan was Zheng Xuan's disciple, and his identity narrowed the distance between Xu Shu and Guoyuan.

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "Yuan Zhi all recognized Guoyuan, so Guoyuan is no problem."

Xu Shu said: "this is the Lord's wise eye like a torch."

"Newspaper!"

All of a sudden, the voice of a servant came from outside the study.

Zhang Xiu said, "come in!"

The door creaked, and the attendant entered the study, reporting: "general, Mr. Duji, I'd like to see you."

"Please

Zhang Xiu gave an order.

Even if Xu Shu and guoyuandang ask to avoid suspicion, Zhang Xiu waves her hand to stop them. No matter Xu Shu or Guoyuan, they are all the people Zhang Xiu relies on. There is no need to avoid suspicion.

Soon, Du Ji entered the study.

Du Ji is now in office as Beijing Zhaoyin. Although he has just taken office, he shows his familiarity with government affairs as soon as he takes office. In particular, Du Ji himself came up from the bottom and was familiar with all kinds of government affairs in jingzhaoyin mansion.

You can't hide things from him.

Du Ji lived and ate in jingzhaoyin mansion, and did not rest in the evening. He handled official business by holding a candle and learned about Chang'an and even Jingzhao area all night. As soon as he encountered problems, he immediately changed the decree. Within one day, Du Ji issued several orders to adjust the mistakes in Jingzhao area.

This is Du Ji's attitude.

To do it, we must do it well.

We can't live up to Zhang Xiu's trust, let alone let her down.

After Duji stood still, he arched his hand and said, "I'm a humble Duji. I'd like to meet you. This time I visited my Lord. I found that in the past month, thousands of scholars poured into Chang'an, and countless people entered Chang'an. "

"In Chang'an City, prices are rising, so are rents."

"It's not easy for people to live in it."

"I think this is not conducive to the long-term development of Chang'an. In particular, after the rise of prices in Chang'an, many poor scholars are hard to get a foothold, which is not conducive to the Lord's recruitment of talents. "

"If you are a son of a noble family, you don't worry about money. But it's not easy for the poor disciples to study. They don't have any extra money and they live in poverty. "

"It's not easy for them to live in Chang'an."

"In the cold, there are great talents."

"If we can leave the poor scholars to serve the Lord, it will be of great help to the governance of the Lord. In order to solve the current situation, it is suggested that the Ministry of household should take the lead and give some money to the poor scholars in Chang'an. In addition, I sincerely ask you to open warehouses and release grain to curb rising grain prices. "

Dugi made his request.

Du Ji was constantly adjusting the government affairs and decrees in Beijing and Zhaoqing to bring order out of chaos. At the same time, Du Ji was also observing the situation in Chang'an area. When he found something, he found Zhang Xiu, hoping to solve the problem.

If we do not seek to solve the problem once and for all, we can at least do a little bit.

When Zhang Xiu heard Du Ji's words, she turned her mind and solicited scholars. In fact, it was the process of establishing the image of courteous and virtuous corporal.

Zhang Xiu is a courteous corporal.

Only in this way can more talents come to join us.

More talents will be of great benefit to Zhang Xiu's competition for the Central Plains and the world.

In the early period of the Three Kingdoms, whether it was the state of Wei, or the state of Shu and the state of Wu, they were all very powerful. However, in the later period, the gap between the three countries became larger and larger, and eventually both Wu and Shu could not resist the attack of Wei.

A large part of the reason is actually the decline of talents in the two countries.

With the death of Zhuge Liang, Ma Liang, Jiang Wan, Li Yan, Lu Su, Lu Meng and Lu Xun, it is normal for the state of Shu and Wu to lose their talents and strength.

Zhang Xiu knows the importance of talents, to attract talents, retain talents, but also to cultivate talents.Zhang Xiu thought about it and had an idea. However, he did not put forward his own decision. He looked at Guoyuan and asked, "Guoyuan, what do you think of the rise of Changan's food prices and the increase of the living costs of scholars?"

Kuoyuan shook his sleeve and replied, "General Zhang, I think it's not a long-term solution to solve these problems by simply giving money to the scholars

"First, there are more and more taxis gathering in Chang'an. Do every taxi give money?"

"People are selfish."

"People's psychology is uneven regardless of their number. Once a scholar doesn't get it, maybe he has a reason not to get it, but once it's publicized, it's just that a drop of ink will fall into the VAT and dye a large vat of water black, which is not good for the general. "

"So the strategy of the relief workers is suitable in the short term."

Guoyuan's eyes were calm. He went a lot of places and had insight. He put forward the problem mentioned by Du Ji.

Du Ji did not speak.

He asked Zhang Xiu to report the situation of Chang'an Shizi in order to solve the problem. His proposal may not be the best, it may not be the most appropriate, and he hopes to have a better solution.

Zhang Xiu said, "it's not suitable for the relief workers. What do you think is the most suitable way?"

Guoyuan replied: "I think the best way is to solve the problem of their living."

"That's enough!"

"In Chang'an, the war led to the vacancy of many houses. After general Zhang took charge of Chang'an, he must have a lot of land deeds in his hands. "

"We can take out quite a lot of houses and rent them to taxis entering Chang'an at a very low price."

"This alone can greatly reduce the burden of the scholars, and also reflects the general's attention to the scholars. Of course, when they leave Chang'an, or when they become officials, they return their houses. "

Guoyuan said: "of course, no one can pretend to be a scholar."

"Those who can be selected must be talents."

"In this respect, the Ministry of official affairs should take the lead in assessing every scholar and carefully selecting them, so as not to confuse them."

"Only in this way can talents be selected."

"There is no lack of money in the aristocratic family. It is the poor family who needs the support of the general. It's these people that the general wants to support and attract everyone to Chang'an. "

Guoyuan said: "as for the rising price, it can only be controlled by the government. We only need to increase the supply of grain to curb the rising grain prices and ensure the stability of grain prices. When the price of grain rises, the supply of grain will be increased. If there is too much grain, you can buy it in large quantities. "

After hearing this, Du Ji had a look of surprise on his face.

What Guoyuan said is very operational.

Du Jide admitted that the rent was a big expense, which solved the problem of scholars' living and, to a considerable extent, reduced their difficulties.

Xu Shu praised: "Lord, what Guoyuan said is true. His proposal, I agree with it. "

Zhang Xiu nodded, said: "to buy horse bone, to leave for our taxi, to provide a place to live, is one aspect, but not enough."

Guoyuan's eyes were serious and asked, "General Zhang thinks, how can we solve this problem?"
