Seeing his two sons crying but not crying, Yuwen Wen disagreed, but in order to avoid his son becoming a middle school boy who "I am not wrong, the world is wrong", the explanations that should be given must be timely:

"The bureaucratic morality is just like that. Since ancient times, you should not care too much, just get used to it."

"Think about it, if my father asked her mother how you performed on weekdays, I think my mother would definitely report good news but not bad news, right?"

This is right, Yuwen Weicheng and Yuwen Weining nodded, and Yuwen Wen said again: "Mother said good things to you, in fact, to avoid my father complaining, so the same is true for parents and officials from all over the country."

"The court regularly dispatched personnel to assess the situation. The assessment results determine the promotion of local officials and are related to their careers. Therefore, they will inevitably seek benefits and avoid harm, and selectively speak some one-sided facts so that they can get along with each other."

If it weren't for raising his son, Yuwen Wen wouldn't bother to teach this. His son always had to face the "immortal monster" of the bureaucratic group, so he had to know the necessary knowledge so as not to be fooled by others without knowing it.

The low grain is harmful to farmers. In fact, "agricultural" is not only ordinary self-cultivated farmers, but also farms or manors. The price of grain of 50 cents per stone (coarse rice) has caused heavy losses to many big landlords and big manor owners.

These big landlords and big manor owners are of course the strong sects and surnames from all over the country, and their clans, their children and the officialdom are inextricably linked. Dissatisfaction will naturally reach the local officials.

The responsibility of local officials is to encourage farmers to teach people about farming and sericulture. Now that the price of grain has plummeted, there is indeed a risk of low grain damage to farmers. In addition, local tribes are also dissatisfied with this, so local officials naturally have to consider their future.

The grain is cheap and hurts the farmers. This is the people they face and must be uploaded.

The prince came to search for the people's situation, and the low grains hurt the farmers is the people's situation. Even if some officials knew that ordinary farmers could ease the crisis by relying on work, local big households were not allowed, so they wanted to "cry" and let the court take measures quickly.

Anyone who has bad things at this time will definitely not have good results afterwards.

Therefore, the people's sentiment that Yuwen Weicheng and Yuwen Weining heard is indeed a fact, and the problem "people" and "people" are different.

The landlords, the owner of the manor is the "people", the farmer and the tenant farmers are also the "people", but the voices they make are different. The public opinion of the former "people" is easily uploaded step by step, while the public opinion of the latter "people".

Who cares?

So the facts that Yuwen Weicheng and Yuwen Weining heard were very true, but this public opinion was only part of it, and no one mentioned the other public opinion to them.

Did the officials deliberately conceal it?

It is true, but there is a reason for the incident. Grassroots officials are self-protection and will not provoke those powerful "big people" for the sake of just "small people", so they choose to remain silent.

As the brothers listened, they were less indignant, but suddenly they felt that the officialdom was so complicated, and the good and evil of officials were not as clear as they imagined, and they also felt that there seemed to be no obvious boundary between right and wrong in one thing.

I became more and more confused about whether the poor farmers should be solved and how to solve the problem.

"You can think of this question like this..."

Yuwen Wen continued to teach his sons some "knowledge", which is related to the foundation of a dynasty.

What is the foundation of the Great Zhou?

The Guanlong Power Group, as well as the landlords and manors in Jingxiang, Shannan. The former is the foundation of the Zhou Kingdom, and the latter is the founding capital of the King of Qi, which is considered the basic foundation.

Whether in Guanlong or Jingxiang, the economic foundation of all forces is the land or manors that own a large amount of land. It is precisely because of a large amount of land that can support the expenses of families of all sizes and families by relying on the output on the land.

The Han Mian Dynasty was developed and wasteland turned into fertile land, which gave families and warriors in the Jingxiang area the opportunity to expand their land, so of course they strongly supported it. This was also a "gift" from the emperor (Yuwen Wen) to his followers.

The followers' support for the emperor has reached a higher level. It is precisely because of their greater confidence that the emperor can make drastic changes in Chang'an and compete with civil and military officials from the Guanlong Group.

However, one of the consequences of land increase is that grain prices have fallen, or even fallen to very low prices, which has greatly reduced the wealth of the "basic market" in the Jingxiang area, so how can we not be worried?

Of course Yuwen Wen knows everyone’s worries.

Now, the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince also know that this is another way for the "basic base" to reach the "public opinion" and try to make changes by following the "son" path.

Hearing this, Yuwen Weicheng, Yuwen Weining realized the seriousness of the situation, and the anger that had been deceived just now disappeared. Now he was thinking about what to do next.

"Disturbation with your followers is the biggest taboo of the superiors. Do you know why Emperor Guangwu of Han's 'Dutian' failed?"

Yuwen Weicheng heard his father say this question, so he replied: "The child knew that although Emperor Guangwu was born in Nanyang, he relied on the Hebei tyrants to start his business. "Dutian" harmed the interests of the Hebei tyrants and was strongly opposed, so he ended in failure."

"That's right, then what do you think will be the consequences if my father ignored the grain prices in the Han Mian area and allowed the grain prices in the entire Jingxiang area to be sluggish for a long time?"

"Uh..." Yuwen Weicheng looked at his father, then exchanged glances with his younger brother, without saying a word.

Of course he knew what this meant, but he didn't dare to say it.

Yuwen Weicheng dared not say it, and Yuwen Weining dared not say it.

"The fact is very simple. Grain prices and cloth prices will not rise again. The prices are so low. The self-sufficient estate economy has been coming from hundreds of years, and it is no longer sustainable under this situation!"

Yuwen Wen began to say something unknown to outsiders: "Land is of course the most precious wealth, but when the grain produced on the land depreciates sharply, this means that the land depreciates in a certain sense."

"Think about it, how heart-wrenching it would be for those rich families who often sit on hundreds or thousands of hectares of land and store grain for thousands of chunks of food to cut their wealth in half?"

"Food and cloth are worthless, wealth has shrunk significantly, family business is huge and expenses are huge. Who will make up for the loss? It's simply intolerable. If you want to rebel, you can't defeat the official army!"

"Rebellion means death. If you don't rebel, are you waiting for death?"

"No! Faced with the outrageously low grain prices and cloth prices, self-cultivated farmers can work and earn money to support their families. So why can't these big landlords and big manors open workshops, take the industrial route, change their way of living, and adapt to the new situation?"

"It is much faster to accumulate wealth when starting an industry than farming. Just get used to this new situation!"

As Yuwen Weicheng and Yuwen Weining listened, they felt that their brains were not enough. As they listened to what their father said, they felt confused.

"You have not found out about the facts of the people. That is, the big households who complain about the low-cost grain and hurt farmers actually have factories and workshops. With the profits, they live more comfortably than ever before."

"They have actually adapted to the new situation and are used to running an industry and accumulating wealth quickly. But..." Yuwen Wen pointed to his head. "It's just that his brain has not turned around yet. Following the traditions of thousands of years, it is more important to regard land than anything else."

"Not only that, many factory owners and workshop owners, after making money, did not continue to expand the scale of the industry, but instead tried hard to buy land and became big landlords and big manor owners!"

"This is not allowed! They will never be allowed to go back. Since the industry has done it, it has to go all the way to the end! If it has not been done yet, it has to go on this road!"

Yuwen Wen's tone was a little murderous. Yuwen Weicheng felt a little sweating. It was the first time they saw their father say something so seriously that they didn't dare to do anything.

My father continued: "To start a business, you have to make the land depreciate significantly in a certain sense, but it is not easy to do this. It is impossible to rely on government orders alone, so what do you rely on?"

"The outrageously low grain prices, laying prices! Directly depreciate the land output significantly, this is how economic laws are used!"

"The court has built water conservancy projects in various places, opened land and farmed land, promoted Jiaozhou rice, and promoted Han Mian's large-scale development in order to increase grain production and lower grain prices. What is the purpose of the court setting up weaving departments everywhere? Hydraulic textile fabrics are dumped on a large scale, and what price has the cloth price been reduced?"

"For thousands of years, men and women have gradually been unable to maintain their daily expenses in the family, so they have to take advantage of the slack farming to work and support their families."

"This is the case with small farmers, the same is true for big landlords and manor owners. If they don't run a business, they will live on the land and live a hard life."

"Those who dream of living in a manor will find that they are gradually losing money, gradually losing wealth, and their purchasing power shrinks significantly. Even if they have thousands of millet and tens of thousands of cloth in their family, facing the ever-declined grain prices, the cloth prices will either go bankrupt without repentance or surrender."

"The grain prices in the Han Mian area will not rebound again. Those big farmers who complain about the low grain damage to farmers..." Yu Wen Wen said, and began to knock on the case with his hands: "My father has pointed out a clear path. Some of them have adapted, but they are nostalgic for the output of the land. It is impossible to have both fish and bear's paws."

"For other people, they have to adapt, and if they don't, they will only go bankrupt!"

"Father, didn't you say...uh..." Yuwen Weicheng was a little anxious, and he didn't care about being polite, and interrupted: "Didn't you say that Jingxiang land is our basic base? How can you..."

"My father's basic plan is actually in Huangzhou, and it is several layers away from other places... Do you know what the situation in Huangzhou is now?"

Yuwen Wen smiled and patted his son on the shoulder: "Besides, Henan, Lianghuai, and Jiangnan have been sorted out by his father and carefully laid out for many years. Do you know what the situation is now?"

Yuwen Weicheng was stunned when he heard this, thinking of the sporadic news he knew, and then realized a possibility. He looked at his father in disbelief and murmured: "Father... Father... Will this be... Will it be..."
