Chapter 600 Dong Hu is in trouble again(2/2)
"Brother! Lintao is Lintao, and his uncle is Jihou, and his grand tutor, how can he be with Lintao..."
"Shut up!"
Dong Mao turned his head suddenly, scaring Dong Huang to take a step back involuntarily.
...
"My father knew that before he moved the capital, Huwa kept allocating grain from Yanmen County and Taiyuan County to Hedong County. When the people came to Chang'an, tens of thousands of people transferred to Hedong to transport grain."
"The price of grain in Chang'an has been rising again and again when Bian Zhang rebelled. Now it has reached 2,000 coins per stone. If there are no tiger kids who keep transporting grain, what is the current price of grain?"
"Five thousand coins?"
"Ten thousand yuan?"
"When will the money and food in my father's hands last?"
"If my father has no money and food, even if he is the Grand Tutor, can he survive now?"
Dong Mao's brows were lowered, but no one spoke in the hall...
"The price of grain has been rising again and again, but it is simply because the grain is too low and expensive. When the child learned about Huwa's strategy of "increasing revenue and reducing expenditure", he agreed very much. One is to prohibit others from hoarding grain and selling more food on the market, and the other is to reduce the salary, money and food consumption of officials."
"Increasing revenue and reducing expenditure will inevitably make some people dissatisfied, but it is the only solution today. Although some people hate my Dong family, the child also thinks it should be done."
Dong Mao looked up at his dazed father. Seeing his hair gray, he felt that his father was really old for the first time...
"Increase revenue and reduce expenditure... Poor people have no way to make their father increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and they can only offend rich families..."
"The child wants to ask my father, will his father be dispersed among the poor people after getting the food from the rich family? If he does not disperse among the poor people, why should the poor people say that my Dong family has the word "good"?"
Dong Mao sighed and said, "In the past, Feng Xi burned the people of Xueyi owed money. After Mengchangjun fell into trouble, all the guests left one by one. Only Feng Xi followed him to Xueyi. Before he arrived, the people of Xueyi welcomed him ten miles away. Later, Feng Xi offered advice and Mengchangjun became the prime minister of Zhao again..."
"The child said this just to tell his father that since he had no choice but to offend the rich family, he would gain the hearts of some poor people. If he gained nothing, if my Dong family is in trouble in the future...who would anyone welcome him to him?"
Dong Mao said again: "Although there is a lot of 300,000 stones of grain, the tiger baby can still take it out. Since he did not ask his father for advice, even if his father doesn't say a word, the tiger baby will supply the food to his father. As for why the tiger baby was put home at this time... In the child's mind, it is probably because it is almost August and the beans in the field are about to be harvested."
Dong Zhuo opened his mouth...
