After the implementation of the establishment of the Government Affairs Hall, Sun Ce struck while the iron was hot and talked about his experience in Wan City this afternoon.

He was indeed a little angry at first. There were more and more merchants in Wan City, but the market was controlled by some aristocratic families, and most merchants could only watch, which was not in line with his three views. However, after listening to Zhang Hong's analysis, he felt that Zhang Hong had some truth in doing this. Everything has its own laws, especially business. Free competition is important, but important strategic materials must be controlled and cannot be left free and disorderly competition.

Silk is not ordinary cloth, it has a strategic position as important as military equipment, and no one can interfere. Most merchants cannot get involved in the cloth business in Guanzhong. One very important reason is that there are too many people doing business. The number of people doing business is because it is profitable. If you continue to ask, there is an important reason why it is profitable is that refugees become cheap labor, reducing labor costs and increasing profit margins. The high prices that Guanzhong has forcibly set are just fueling the fire, but are not the root cause.

He advocated that the primary goal of industry and commerce is self-improvement, and secondly, it is to enrich the people. Only when the people live and work in peace can they have stability. Now the people are not only unable to benefit from it, but are damaged, which is naturally not a result that he can accept and must be adjusted.

Setting a minimum wage standard has become an urgent task, but how to set this standard must be very cautious. It is meaningless to be too low, and too high will affect the profits of the workshop. In the end, prices will rise, which in turn will affect people's livelihood. If the minimum wage standard is set, the workshop will inevitably shrink employment and use methods such as extending working hours to offset the situation. The reduction of work opportunities will make refugees who have no source of livelihood more disadvantaged. In order to protect them, but to act too hasty, it will hurt them.

In short, this is a very complex problem that cannot be solved in just one or two sentences. Sun Ce knew the pros and cons of this, and although he was anxious, he did not dare to play the same role. He had no specific administrative experience and could only propose directions to solve the problem. Specific problems can only be solved by Zhang Hong and others. To put it nicely, it means to treat them with a downward hindrance.

But he is not just a matter of regulating everything, but just a clay bodhisattva. He is the leader and a person who establishes the direction. Perhaps Zhang Hong would choose a different path from his expectations, but his ultimate goal is consistent. In this regard, Confucianism has an advantage over Legalism. Legalism is an imperial art, only for the emperor to consider, how to manage it conveniently, and the welfare of the people is never within their considerations. After all, Confucianism has a certain sense of people-oriented, but is only bound by learning from the law and family law. The motivation for institutional innovation is insufficient, so it can only be forced forward by the situation, which is more passive and has a longer adaptation time. What Sun Ce needs to do now is to break their thinking limitations, guide them to move towards the goals they expect, and actively seek change.

The definition of expanding scholars is actually the concept of expanding the people. Confucianism opposes competing for profit with the people, but their people do not include ordinary people. The so-called scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are actually just scholars, big landlords, and big business owners. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, these people became important parts of the powerful families, and the farmers who account for more than 90% of the population were not included.

Now Sun Ce requests to expand the scope of the people and include the vast majority of the population. This is a major reform of the concept for this era. Even if Zhang Hong is not a conservative person, it takes time to digest and understand, and then make corresponding adjustments. Fortunately, Zhang Hong has the original intention of scholars to be benevolent, and even though there are tens of millions of Confucians, I am so brave that I have gone there. Even though I know that this matter is difficult, I still agree.

The specific affairs were undertaken by Zhang Hong, and Sun Ce was treated with the slightest order. He only made one request: Let Zhang Hong select some assistants as soon as possible, do not trap everything on himself, strictly implement the rest system, and go to Bencao Tang for treatment if he is sick in time. He does not want Zhang Hong to die of exhaustion. Administrative affairs are a very tiring thing, and diligent work is by no means as simple as saying. Most of the truly diligent emperors in history are short-lived, and ministers are not much better. Zhang Hong saved Guo Jia, and he could not watch Zhang Hong become Zhuge Liang's pioneer.

Zhang Hong was very grateful and felt warm in his heart.

As the two were talking, Zhuge Liang walked in quickly, saluted Zhang Hong, and handed Sun Ce an urgent document. Sun Ce opened it and saw that it was from Lu Fan. Yang Biao arrived at Junyi and acted very much. He was not only very concerned about the economy and military of Guandong, but also had the intention of poaching the villain. Sun Ce was very calm. Yang Biao went on a private mission to Guandong, of course he would not miss all opportunities to make profits for the court. He was strange that Lu Fan directly used the post office to send him a message, and did not mention Yuan Quan. It seemed that Yuan Quan and Mrs. Yuan were very close, so that Lu Fan became suspicious and had some precautions, and was unwilling to disturb Yuan Quan.

Sun Ce put away his urgent documents. "Did you have any contact with Yang Wenxian when you were in Luoyang?"

Zhang Hong smiled and said, "I have met each other, but I have never had a close relationship. Although the threshold of the Hongnong Yang family is not as high as that of the Yuan family, not everyone can meet them. As for the court, Yang Wen was a rare capable official, with both virtue and talent. After all, he has a background in his family. However, because of this, he is not very clear about the sufferings of the people and is difficult to have sympathy. When he passed by Luoyang, he met Zhou Boqi (Zhou Yi). Zhou Boqi will arrive in the past two days. The general can inquire with Zhou Boqi at that time."

"Have you received the message? Did Gongjin go to welcome him?"

"It must have been gone. Before meeting the general, the father and son must have a heart to share."

Sun Ce laughed and said nothing. As the Yin of Henan, Zhou Yi had never reported his work to him, but he had never expressed his opinion on Zhou Yu's decision. In fact, he acknowledged the status of their father and son as a subordinate, but he didn't want to do it too obvious. It can be understood as waiting and seeing or face, which is not important. Lu Su entered Luoyang and accepted it calmly without any objection, which is enough. Just like Zhang Hong in front of him, although he did not claim to be a minister like Lu Su and Huang Zhong, he faithfully carried out his orders, left his son in the Military Scheme Office, and claimed to fight against the court. In fact, his attitude was already very clear, and he didn't have to shout a few words to enjoy himself.

"Yang Wen must first dig our corner." Sun Ce briefly said what Lu Fan mentioned. Zhang Hong listened quietly. "What will the general plan to deal with it?"

"It is very important to seek peace for the world as a great thing, and it is difficult to do so." Sun Ce said lightly: "Those who come will come, and those who go will go. The wise and foolish are all according to the destiny of heaven."

"Why worry about the big thing not being done if the general can do this?" Zhang Hong stroked his beard and sighed with a sigh. "Hong has no other ambition in this life. I just hope that the general can start well and end well. The innocent heart will not change. The inner sage and the outer king can expect, and we can also climb the dragon and the phoenix, and live up to what we have learned in our lives."

"It is also my honor to be able to work with Mr. Sun Ce laughed. "If you have a small achievement in the future, you will not dare to forget the virtue of Mr.'s assistance. Guangling Zhang will definitely be worthy of Xinye Deng."

Zhang Hong was moved by it, raised his hand and bowed to Sun Ce deeply.
