Yang Biao talked freely, but Sun Ce felt a little upset. He was worried that Yang Biao was conservative and wanted to enlighten him. Now when he heard that although Yang Biao's family was passed down by Ouyang Shangshu, he was definitely not a pedantic person. On the contrary, he was very realistic. No wonder he followed Emperor Xian of Han to Chang'an all the way, and never left him, which made Cao āo very afraid of him, but he eventually escaped. He had never participated in so many rebellions against Cao āo in the late Jian'an. If it weren't for Yang Xiu's involvement in Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's brothers' struggle, the Yang family might have been unscathed.

This is a very pragmatic old minister. Even if there is something wrong with him, he will be able to catch up quickly as long as he is given a chance, and he doesn't need his guidance at all. On the contrary, he must be wary of the old man running too fast and far, leaving him behind. Compared with Yang Biao, his advantage is that he is young, has better physical strength, and has some plug-ins, IQ, experience, and knowledge. Yang Biao can crush him into a scum. If he believes that there is no destiny, the emperor is not necessary. Will he build a republic of the Void Lords and really treat me as a Bodhisattva and rule me with a ruling?

It's better to slow down this matter, it's better to be cautious.

"Mr. Yang, if you were to solve this problem, how would you solve it?"

Yang Biao smiled. "You just need to issue an order, and the families of the migrant soldiers do not need to settle near Wu County. As long as you are in Wu County, the housing prices in Wu County will drop accordingly. If you leave Taihu Lake, celebrate the New Year in another county, and move the camp there, the houses you hoarded will be worthless. There is less free land around Wu County, but there is a lot of free land in Wu County. I heard that the military farming areas in Piling, Wuxi and Yangxian have been successful, and the added fertile land is tens of thousands of hectares, which can be resettled for tens of thousands of households. Even if a new city is built, it is more than enough. Why limit it to Wu County?"

Sun Ce remembered Yu Fan's plan and couldn't help but admire him secretly. Yu Fan mentioned this when he suggested that Yang Xian, the plan to solve the housing prices in Wu County is exactly the same, which is a bit like the heroes' views. However, Yu Fan predicted it in advance, while Yang Biao solved the practical problems.

Sun Ce and Yang Biao chatted for a long time. He mentioned the "Salt and Iron Theory" co-written by Pang Shanmin and Zao Ge, hoping that Yang Biao could also write a monograph on the official system. Yang Biao was very knowledgeable. He once wrote history with Cai Yong in Dongguan. He was one of the authors of "Dongguan Han Ji" and was very familiar with rules and regulations. If he could write a history of the evolution of the official system and understand the imperial power, the prime minister's power would have reached this step by step, and attracting experience and lessons from it, he would definitely gain.

Yang Biao did not object, but just looked at Sun Ce deeply, and a smile flashed in his eyes. In an instant, Sun Ce felt like he was being targeted by the old fox. Oh my God, I wouldn’t have brought 30,000 gold and smashed myself into the foot, right?

I don’t know if I saw Sun Ce’s hesitation, but when Yang Biao sent Sun Ce to the hall, he said quietly. “General, the ancients said: Restraining oneself and returning to rituals is called benevolence. I said, “Those who win by themselves are strong. Work hard and don’t let down your talent.”

Sun Ce smiled slightly and bowed to say goodbye.

As Yang Biao expected, two days later, Zhou Yi, the prefect of Wu County, rushed to Dalei Mountain to pay a visit. He used the past half month to travel to several counties around Wu County and found a problem. The development of Wu County was extremely uneven. In the thirteen cities of Wu County, only Wu County had more than 10,000 households. The figure this year was more than 67,000 households and more than 300,000 households, nearly half of the household registration of the county, while none of the other twelve counties had more than 10,000 households. The land around Wu County has been completely developed and there is no potential to dig. If it is not adjusted, the housing prices in Wu County cannot be suppressed.

Zhou Yi put forward two suggestions: either Sun Ce will move away from Wu County and set up another camp, or place the moved population in other counties, such as Qu'a, Piling and Wuxi, and the best choice is Yangxian on the west bank of Taihu Lake. Once Sun Ce leaves Wu County, not only will tens of thousands of troops evacuate with him, but the family members of civil and military will also follow him, and the relevant population will reach more than 50,000, which is almost a moving county town.

Sun Ce did not make a decision immediately, summoned Zhang Hong, Yu Fan and others to discuss matters, and Cai Mao also participated. As soon as Zhou Yi said something, Cai Mao's face changed, and then he began to wipe his sweat from time to time. Sun Ce looked at him and smiled. After such a struggle, Cai Mao would lose at least a few thousand gold. Although he couldn't hurt his muscles, for Cai Mao, he would not make too much money when he made money, and of course the less money when he lost, the better. Not to mention a few thousand gold, he felt pain even if he had hundreds of gold.

However, it is too late for Cai Mao to regret it now. He went to visit the family of civil and military officials to understand the situation, and promised to solve the problem within ten days. Those who wanted to buy a house before would not buy it now, unless Cai Mao lowered the price to a reasonable range and he was sure that he would not evacuate Wujun, no one would be moved. These people came because of him, so of course they had to follow his footsteps.

Zhou Yi investigated very carefully. Not only did he have the results of the county's plan, but he also personally inspected the situation of several surrounding counties. With Yu Fan on the side, he could prove a lot of data and supplement the situation. After everyone asked carefully, they basically agreed with his conclusion, but they had certain differences on how to resolve it.

There are two main opinions: one does not need to be moved and governed, and the migrants were placed on the Dantu, Qu'a, Piling and Wuxi. The reason is that Guangling, Dantu is the easternmost ferry of the Yangtze River, and it is the only way for the people in the Qingxu area to migrate south. This line is mainly plains, and has been repaired by water conservancy and has been farmed for several years. It has a good foundation and can accommodate a large population, which is simple and fast. The other is to move to Yangxian, with sufficient reasons, basically not beyond the scope mentioned by Yu Fan. Compared with the former opinion, this opinion is more inclined to the Central Plains, which is just a little troublesome.

After repeated discussions, Sun Ce decided to take a comprehensive view and adopt the former plan first, and resettle the immigrants in Dantu and Wuxi counties. These counties have a relatively good foundation and newly reclaimed land, so there is no need to make a big fuss. After all, Wu County is still the economic center of Wuhui, and the influence of migration and governance is too great and it is difficult to complete in a hurry. However, this does not affect the strengthening of Yangxian development. Some people can be moved first, and the preliminary preparations are made first. When conditions are ripe, the county government will be moved over, and the gap between the counties in Wu County will be gradually narrowed.

Everyone dispersed, only Cai Mao was kept. Sun Ce looked at him. "How much did he earn?"

Cai Mao wiped the sweat from his forehead. Sun Ce finally decided not to move to the county seat for the time being, and he felt much more at ease. "Where can you make money, it's good if you don't lose money."

"How could you lose? You'll make a little profit at the most. When you bought those houses, it wasn't that expensive."

"It's not cheap either. The Wu people are smart. When they see someone collecting houses, they start to hoard goods and keep increasing prices. When the battle of Guandu ends, the price will be even more crazy. The small courtyard with two entrances in one district will dare to ask for a hundred gold coins." Cai Mao sighed, looking depressed. "After doing this, they will eventually get the cheaper, and we are just busy for them. General, I'm not saying it, Zhou Yi is a little biased this time. Do you think he mentioned the Wujun family? He didn't mention a single word. I dare say that the data he collected was provided to him by the Wujun family."

Sun Ce knew very well. Although Cai Mao was suspected of venting his anger, he was basically the truth. The Wujun family, especially the Wuxian family, was the biggest winner. "How much did you lose?"

"Forget it, it's normal to win or lose. If you have hundreds of gold, just take it as a lesson for buying a lesson." Cai Mao was a little embarrassed. "That... I really don't know that Mrs. Feng is going to buy a house, so she didn't say it, otherwise I would give her one. Otherwise, I have a yard in Gushè Mountain, which is not big, but very quiet. I give it to her as an apology. How about it?"

Sun Ce frowned. "What does this matter have to do with Feng Wan?"

Cai Mao blinked his eyes and then smiled again. "I guessed that I didn't say it." As he said that, he bowed and said goodbye.

"Wait. Explain it clearly before leaving."

"Uh..." Cai Mao smiled bitterly. "This... is not difficult to guess. When you go to Wuxian to inspect the house price, I received the news. After asking about the house price, I found out that you went to see my brother-in-law the night before, but later you didn't go back to the camp. It was a night at Mrs. Feng. Later, I heard that Mrs. Feng once asked someone to buy a house because the price was too expensive and it was not successful. Isn't it clear that the cause and effect of this?"

"You are well-informed, but you are not very smart."

Cai Mao smiled awkwardly, but didn't say anything. Sun Ce ignored him and waved his hand to let him take it. Cai Mao was confused and left the camp. After thinking about it, he didn't quite understand what Sun Ce meant, so he turned to find his sister Cai Jue. Sun Ce said that he was not very smart. This might be a joke, or it might be really dissatisfied with him. If he couldn't figure out what was wrong, the good thing about going out to sea to get money may not fall on him in the future.

After being driven away by Cai Mao, Sun Ce was speechless. Cai Mao had a low vision. No wonder he had no great prospects after surrendering to Cao in history. Such a person is not suitable to win a movie alone, so he can only succeed because of his own. He also needs to find a reliable person to find a money-making matter in this matter of going out to sea.

Sun Ce was planning, and Zhuge Liang walked in. "General, the Zhen family in Wuji, Zhongshan is here, probably to talk about the redemption of Zhen Yan."

"Wuji Zhen Family?" Sun Ce was stunned for a while before he remembered who it was. Half a year after the Battle of Guandu, he was so entangled by Jiangdong's affairs these days that he had forgotten Zhen Yan.

Sun Ce asked Zhuge Liang to lead the person in. Not long after, a middle-aged man in his forties walked in. His face was slightly dark, he looked weathered, had a medium figure, and agile body. He was wearing a close-fitting samurai uniform. The style was very ordinary, but the workmanship was very exquisite. He was wearing a pair of leather boots under his feet, like a knight. Sun Ce looked at him and couldn't help but smile.

"Are you riding a horse? Did the three thousand horses I want to be delivered?"

The visitor smiled and bowed. "Zhang Hong is Zhen Yan's mother's uncle. His brother-in-law died early. Zhen Yan was captured by the general again. There was no adult man at home. My sister had no choice but to entrust me to come to see the general. The reason why I came late was because I had been doing business on the grassland before and returned to Wuji in August. I did come on a horse, but there were not three thousand, only thirty high-quality Wuhuan horses."

"Thirty horses? Even Wuhuan horses are not as good as Zhen Yan's arm."

Zhang Honggong bowed. "The general misunderstood. These thirty Wuhuan horses are not ransoms, but gifts."
