Zhao Yang nodded and continued,"
"However, this method cannot be used on the common people.”
"It's used against us, which means it's used against the officials.”
"What do the commoners hate the most?”
"It's true that the state officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps.”
"If we were to set an example first.”
"When they see this, even if they have to scrimp and save, they won't be too angry.”
Hearing Zhao Yang's words, Cao Cao raised his eyebrows.
What a good way to say that only state officials were allowed to set fires, but commoners were not allowed to light lamps.
This answer hit the nail on the head!
"Then, what should I do?"
Xun Yu asked again.
Zhao Yang's words made him feel that it was feasible.
However, he did not expect that the target was actually an official.
Zhao Yang continued,"
"It's simple. We'll set a challenge.”
"As long as someone can spend only 20 copper coins a month, they can get 2,000 copper coins.”
"If someone can do it, we can use it as a warning to others.”
Hearing this, everyone could not hold it in anymore.
Xun Yu took a deep breath and said,
"Twenty dollars?"
"This is probably too difficult."
"When I moved Mu Lixin, the challenge I set was extremely simple.”
Even though Xun Yu lived frugally on weekdays.
However, 20 yuan a month was an impossible task!
Zhao Yang shook his head and said,"
"Different things require different solutions.”
"In this situation, if we don't set up an eye-catching challenge.”
"Then how will the commoners be convinced?"
His words rendered everyone speechless.
……
"Although this method is good, will anyone come?”
Xun Yu could not help but ask.
"We'll know if anyone will come.”
"Wen Ruo, I'll leave this matter to you.”
Cao Cao said slowly.
Xun Yu nodded.
Although he was a little worried that no one would come.
However, he was still very optimistic about Zhao Yang's method.
Imitating Shang Yang and moving trees was a good idea.
However, he only spent 20 copper coins a month.
To achieve this, even if he only drank a little rice soup every day, it was definitely not enough.
Even if they only ate corn, 20 yuan worth of food was not enough to last them for a month.
Who would take on such a difficult challenge?
However, given the current situation, if he didn't use this method, he wouldn't be able to do so.
It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to do a good job while ensuring that the people were convinced.
Moreover, if someone really completed it.
This was a good start.
Just this generous reward was enough to motivate the people and officials.
Perhaps not many people could achieve it.
However, as long as there was a wave of simplicity, this matter would be easily solved.
At this moment, Cao Cao slowly said,"
"Let's not talk about others first."
"Everyone here, do you have the confidence to do this?”
Cao Cao's question stunned everyone.
They frowned and did not dare to answer.
20 copper coins for a month?
Who could do it?
It was impossible!
Seeing that no one spoke, Cao Cao began to call out names,"
"Zhong Yao, can you do it?"
The important man who had been silent all this while suddenly widened his eyes.
"Sikong, forgive my incompetence."
"Sikong, you know me. I love calligraphy.”
"Just the paper alone costs far more than twenty yuan a month.”
Hearing this, Cao Cao could not help but laugh bitterly.
Indeed.
This was Zhong Yao's only hobby.
Even if he didn't eat for a month, he definitely couldn't go a month without touching brush, ink, and paper.
Otherwise, he might as well kill him.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao glanced at Xun Yu,"
"Wen Ruo, can you do it?"
Xun Yu cupped his hands helplessly and said,"
"Sikong, you know the situation in the Xun Residence.”
"The money that the entire residence needs to spend, just to light the lamps at night, is more than twenty copper coins.”
" This…If it's a few days, it's fine. But if it's a month, I'm afraid…"
Cao Cao sighed lightly and did not insist. He looked at Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu immediately waved his hand and said,"
"Sikong, I…"
Without waiting for Cheng Yu to finish his excuse, Cao Cao slammed the table.
"Alright!"
"I can tell."
"All of you are big spenders!”
Just by looking at you, how can you be thrifty?
Hearing this, everyone could not help but lower their heads and remain silent.
Although they also wanted to make a move.
However, he was powerless.
They had a big family business and needed to take care of all aspects.
The monthly expenses were beyond their control.
Cao Cao was already a little angry. m.
If it wasn't for his face, he would have scolded these guys in front of him.
"Alright, alright, put up the notice first!”
"If you can't do it, I don't believe that no one else can!”
Cao Cao ordered.
Everyone immediately obeyed the order and fled as if they had been relieved of a heavy burden.
He didn't give Cao Cao any chance to regret.
As long as they didn't challenge him and set an example for him.
Then they could do anything.
Cao Cao sighed helplessly and rubbed his forehead,"
"Qingfeng, look, look at them!”
"With them like this, how can they promote the method of moving trees and establishing faith?”
Zhao Yang raised his eyebrows.
You're asking me? How would I know?
Anyway, I've thought of a way for you.
Whether you can do it or not depends on your subordinates.
……
Even though Xun Yu, Xun You, and the others said that they couldn't do it.
However, the speed at which the notices were posted was truly astonishing.
It only took four hours.
The entire city was covered with notices.
The moment this notice was released, it immediately alarmed the entire Xu Capital.
Not only the commoners, but the gentry clans also gathered to watch the show.
After all, it had been a long time since Xu City had such a big commotion.
Armored soldiers were everywhere, looking extremely busy.
However, after seeing the contents of the notice.
Everyone began to speculate about the meaning behind the notice.
This was especially true for the various aristocrats.
Everyone had a tacit understanding, but they kept analyzing the meaning behind it.
Especially the two great gentry clans in Xudu City.
One was the Sima Clan, and the other was the Yang Clan.
These two families were definitely old aristocratic families, especially the Yang family.
Yang Biao of the Yang Family was an absolute supporter of the Great Han Dynasty.
His name was on the list of requests for the restoration of the Imperial Palace.
……
At the same time, in the Sima Clan.
Sima Fang gathered his sons and said,"
"Have you all seen the notice?"
"Tell me, what do you think?”
He was mainly asking about his eldest son, Sima Lang, and his second son, Sima Yi.
Sima Lang had always been an official in the court, so he should have a deep understanding of the ways of officialdom.
And Sima Yi.
Although he did not have any official position now.
However, he was extremely shrewd and meticulous.
Sima Fang couldn't see through the meaning behind this.
Naturally, he wanted to hear what his two sons, whom he was most proud of, had to say.
