Yang Biao stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back, frowning, his face as dark as the bottom of the pot. The officials quietly avoided him to avoid provoking him and suffered for no reason. Only Liu Ba stood aside, bowed his hands, and although he also frowned, his face was very calm.

After the court meeting ended, Yang Biao was in a bad mood when he learned that the emperor summoned Xun Yu alone. He knew that his proposal would be put on hold. The emperor would not directly reject it, but he would not agree. The appointment of the prefect of Danyang would be suspended, accusing Sun Ce of Sun's control over Danyang, and then waiting for Sun Ce to have a conflict with Yuan Shao and kill him to death.

It is right to be careful, but it is too cowardly. Although Yuan Shao has the intention to be unjust, Sun Ce is not a pure minister. He has already mastered Yuzhou, and Jingzhou will soon fall into his hands. If Yangzhou is controlled by him, its strength will be beyond Yuan Shao. Xun Yu wanted to drive the wolf to swallow the tiger, but he felt that it was a problem to raise the tiger. It would be too late for the court to regret it again when Sun Ce became a big shot.

Someone hurriedly came to report that Xun Yu was coming and was walking inside.

Yang Biao smiled bitterly and said, "He is really chasing him tightly, and he doesn't delay at all."

Liu Ba said: "Mr. Yang, it's better that he is here. You can communicate face to face to avoid any misunderstandings and taking advantage of others."

Yang Biao nodded and turned to the hall. Liu Ba went out of the hall to greet him. After leaving the middle gate, Xun Yu happened to go up the steps, bowed to Liu Ba, and said with a smile: "Zichu, how are you doing these days? Are you adapting to the climate of Chang'an?"

"Fortunately, it's cold outside and it's OK inside."

"Yang Gong is famous for being considerate of his subordinates. You are lucky. If you change somewhere else, you will not be so comfortable. Did Liu Ziyang complain to you? The palace is now tight and there is not enough charcoal supply. Can you ask Situ to think of a way and increase some quota?"

"Mr. Yang is already thinking of a solution and arranges people to go to Nanshan to log and burn charcoal. However, Nanshan is too far away. If you can ask Your Majesty to open Shanglin Garden, it will be much more convenient. One round and one trip will save a lot of time."

Xun Yu agreed immediately. "Okay, this matter should not be a problem for me."

As the two said, they had already arrived in the hall. Yang Biao signaled Xun Yu to take his seat and asked Xun Yu to have lunch yet, so he asked Liu Ba to arrange some wine and food. Xun Yu was not polite either. He had been busy for most of the day and had not had lunch yet, so he was indeed a little hungry. Yang Biao saw it and felt distressed and funny.

"Did you choose this time?"

Xun Yu also smiled. "Mr. Yang's eyes are as sharp as a torch, so I won't hide it. I can save one meal if I can eat more of this meal, even supper."

"I heard that you are studying Liuhou Fasting and don't eat after noon, and want to become a god." Yang Biao glanced at Xun Yu and said softly: "At a young age, I just want to avoid suspicion. I really don't know if you are old or if you are too angry."

Xun Yu put away his smile and sighed. "Mr. Yang, I have no choice but to reduce some resistance to reform. Whether it is a young man or a young man, I don't care. Mr. Yang worked hard for this and took on most of the affairs. I don't know how much criticism I have to bear, so that I can relax in the palace. Avoid some suspicion, so as not to cause trouble for Mr. Yang."

Yang Biao's eyes flashed, and he gently stroked his beard. His originally gloomy face improved a lot. Xun Yu might have a weak way of doing things, but his character was impeccable. He signaled Xun Yu not to hurry, eat more, and sort out his thoughts by the way. After Xun Yu finished eating, he spoke slowly.

"Wenruo, the lord Dezu has a letter from his family. Sun Ce plans to farm and raise soldiers in Danyang. Danyang will send out elite troops. With food, even if Yuan Shao breaks Yuzhou, he will not be able to cross the river. Jiangling, Danyang is in hand, and the Yangtze River is owned by Sun Ce. Jiangdong is as solid as a soup, and it will be difficult for the court to take it back."

"Duke Yang, did Dezu say how long he plans? Jiangnan is humid and Danyang is downstream, and there are often floods. Water conservancy is required before the farming process, and it cannot be successful overnight."

Yang Biao hesitated for a moment. "It's said it's two to three years."

Xun Yu smiled but said nothing. Yang Biao was puzzled and showed some displeasure. "What does Wen Ru mean?"

"Mr. Yang, if Dezu was not deceived by Sun Ce, or Sun Ce was deceived. If he could successfully farm in two to three years, would the conditions for farming in Danyang be better than Guanzhong? Yang Gong was busy farming in Guanzhong, how many years would he feel that he could be self-sufficient?"

Yang Biao was skeptical, and he really didn't know the situation in Danyang. He looked at Liu Ba. Liu Ba said calmly: "If we use the theory of the Constant theory, Danyang has a low terrain and a small population. If we want to farm in Danyang, it will be difficult to achieve results without five years. But don't forget that Sun Ce is different. He may be able to come up with a different approach and succeed in two to three years."

Yang Biao was very embarrassed. Liu Ba's words were just to justify him, but in fact proved Xun Yu's analysis. Danyang could not see the effect of farming in two to three years. He was not familiar with the specific situation of Danyang, and Yang Xiu was not familiar with it. He was likely to have been deceived by Sun Ce. As for Sun Ce being deceived, he didn't believe it. Because Sun Ce was meticulous in his work, he sent someone to visit the terrain of Danyang three months in advance, and it was impossible not to understand the actual situation of Danyang.

Although he is a peer, Yang Xiuyue is too shallow and not as cunning as Sun Ce. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have become Sun Ce's head of the baggage battalion for no reason. Of course, it was not only him, Ma Chao and Yan Xing, who were all won over by Sun Ce, and Yan Xing even became Sun Ce's cavalry general.

The lowly people are very capable, but the high-ranking children are knowledgeable, but they are often well-behaved and have low eyes. It is better for those who are from lowly families to be proficient in practice.

"Sun Ce is unique because he is unique and dares to be the first in the world. It is not because he has the ability of ghosts and gods. As long as we dare to give up those red tape, we can do what he can do. Mr. Yang, Zichu and the wise men of the Situ Mansion have thought of so many ways to cultivate the farm. Is Sun Ce even more skilled than you? But..." Xun Yu changed his tone. "Mr. Yang, as Zichu said, Sun Ce made a different approach. In less than a year in Nanyang, the military weapons of Nanyang became the world's weapon. If he could find the right person, it would be possible for Danyang to quickly achieve results."

“How to say it?”

Xun Yu looked at Yang Biao and then Liu Ba. "Yang Gong, is there any talent in Situ Mansion who is well-versed in agriculture?"

Yang Biao shook his head and nodded again. He had a little understanding of his understanding. He already understood what Xun Yu meant. Why can Nanyang Arbitrage improve so quickly? The reason is that Huang Chengyan and his daughter, Mu Xuetang, and Nanyang Iron Officers were all handled by them, and new paper, four-wheeled carriages and stone throwing machines are no exception. He has a specialty in his profession, and a professional talent is worth a group of ordinary talents. If Sun Ce finds a person who is proficient in agronomy, it is not impossible for military farming to succeed in the short term. Didn’t Yang Xiu say that Zulang recommended a man named Xian Yucheng in charge of military farming affairs, and this person is a researcher of agricultural science.

"It's rare to be talented. It would be great if we could find such a person." Yang Biao sighed and said, "It's a pity that there is no second Zhao Guo in Guanzhong."

Xun Yu said slowly: "Even if there is a second Zhao Guo, it is useless. Sun Ce can pay Huang Chengyan a salary of 2,000 stones. Can Mr. Yang do this? Are you not afraid of Fan Chi asking Jia Feng for a ridicule?"

Yang Biao was slightly stunned, his eyes flashed, he stayed on Xun Yu's face for a moment, and suddenly laughed. "So you have been wandering around for a long time, waiting for me here."
