I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 472 Guo Jia Broadens Her Eyes
For a whole day, Guo Jia didn't say a word to Jia Xu.

It's not that he doesn't want to talk to Jia Xu, it's just that he has fallen into deep thought.

During today's day, Guo Jia had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

All kinds of thoughts, including doubts about the original ambition, made Guo Jia feel miserable.

It is obvious that my goal has been achieved, but why am I not living more confused than before I achieved my goal?
This afternoon, Guo Jia had been meditating there, but Jia Xu ignored him.

Jia Xu was just sitting there, watching the so-called Spring and Autumn Romance, enjoying it a lot.

It wasn't until late in the evening that Jia Xu stretched his waist.

He turned his head to look at the sky, and then said to Guo Jia: "It's almost there, it's almost there, it's time to make a move."

"Oh……"

Guo Jia seemed to have come to his senses, he turned his head in disbelief, and looked at the sky like Jia Xu.

Seeing that the time had indeed come, Guo Jia just stood up slowly and walked outside.

"Wait a moment."

Jia Xu suddenly spoke out to greet Guo Jiadao.

Guo Jia turned his head suspiciously: "What else is there for Wen Hegong?"

Jia Xu sighed for a long time, and said helplessly: "You, you, I thought you were a fellow traveler like the old man. The old man thought that he had found a confidant who was as smart as himself, but now it seems that you are also a fool. man."

Guo Jia couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words.

"Wen Hegong, why am I such a fool?"

Jia Xu's smile seemed a little helpless: "You may not realize whether you are right now, but you may know in the future."

"Don't come to the office tomorrow, there is nothing to do anyway, how about I invite you out for a walk?"

After hearing this, Guo Jia couldn't help but feel a little pain in Yahuazi.

What do you say you do every day?
That's good, if you don't talk about it all day, you don't have to come here casually.

But since Jia Xu had already invited him, Guo Jia naturally couldn't refuse.

"Since Wen Hegong has such a taste, let's go for a walk together, but where are we going?"

Jia Xu said: "You don't have to worry about where you go, the old man will decide."

……

……

So, on the second day, neither Guo Jia nor Jia Xu went to the office, and the two of them drove to the southern suburbs together.

Today the snow has stopped, the weather is fair.

But since the two of them were sitting in the car, they didn't move much on the way, so they still felt chilly.

Guo Jia specially brought a gourd container to hold wine, and drinking a few sips along the way can also have the effect of keeping out the cold.

"Wen Hegong, don't you want to drink?" Guo Jia poured another sip from the wine gourd into his mouth, and then asked concerned.

Jia Xu shook her head resolutely: "Don't drink."

Guo Jia asked, "Aren't you cold?"

Jia Xu said, "It's cold, I don't drink it either."

Guo Jia looked at Jia Xu with some puzzlement.

But Jia Xu turned her head slowly and said: "Drinking is something that sometimes delays things too much, and it is easy to shorten life span."

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Your words are too much, why don't I know about this?"

Jia Xu's expression was very serious: "Why don't you say you are still young."

Afterwards, he reached out and patted Guo Jia's shoulder, saying: "My lord said, drink less wine, drink more tea, live longer, and maybe there is a chance to see the world flourish again."

Guo Jia couldn't help laughing: "Why are you talking about this? Wen Hegong, where are you taking me?"

Jia Xu stroked her beard, and the old god said, "Don't worry, it's almost here."

Afterwards, Jia Xu asked people to stop the car, and he walked down tremblingly first.

Guo Jia followed Jia Xu.

After getting out of the car, he found that he and Jia Xu had come to the side of Longmu, a vast farmland on the outskirts of Luoyang.

In winter, the area around Tianmu, which should have been deserted, was now surrounded by a group of people, including Liu Jian, Liu Bei, Lu Zhi, Tian Feng, Jushou, and a large group of Luoyang local officials.

These people stood by the Luoshui River, and under the explanation of a local Luoyang official, they pointed at the nearby fields and seemed to be discussing something.

Guo Jia, led by Jia Xu, walked not far behind them and listened to what they were talking about.

Later, Guo Jia probably understood that they were discussing the construction of a water conservancy project near Luoshui River, and diverted Luoshui to irrigate the farmland near Luoyang.

At this time, the local Luoyang official had already introduced the general situation in the vicinity, and waited quietly for Liu Jian and others to give instructions.

Liu Jian seemed to be a little cold. He stretched out his hand and blew on his stiff hands, and then ordered:

"Mr. Gongyu, let's explain our experience in Hebei to the local consul."

"promise."

Then Jushou stood up with a smile, cleared his throat, and said to the officials present:

"Over the past few years in Hebei, under the leadership of General Zuo, in addition to the implementation of garrisoning and ensuring that the land will not be desolate, in terms of farming, it is mainly to work together to study how to make the yield of the field higher."

"Instead of cultivating more land, if the yield per mu of land can be increased, this will not only save the cost of reclamation, but also increase the harvest without changing the cultivator."

"Our various agricultural technology workshops in Hebei have done a lot of research and printed books!"

"The current Qingzhou Bookstore, in addition to publishing scriptures and some romance books, the Lord has also set up another column for publishing, and it is widely popularized among the people."

"It's titled 'Science and Technology' books."

"The so-called scientific and technological books and periodicals are mostly compiled into books that benefit the people, covering a wide range of fields, including farming, hunting, manufacturing, breeding, medical treatment, smelting and many other aspects. This can broaden the wisdom of the people and enhance production."

"And in the science and technology book, what the lord attaches the most importance to is agriculture."

"After all, my Great Han Dynasty is a big farming country."

"Among Hebei's current measures to promote agriculture, the most effective one is the large-scale construction of water conservancy projects."

"According to our practice, if we can make full use of natural water sources such as rivers and lakes, build water conservancy projects, and effectively irrigate farmland, the yield of grain per mu will be greatly increased. The projects include building water trucks and digging channels. , lead the river into the field, and improve the embankment."

"In addition, Hebei now uses water-lifting irrigation for areas with insufficient water source irrigation, using human or animal power to drive water trucks and other equipment to lift water from low to high, and then introduce water into the fields through canals."

"This irrigation method has high irrigation efficiency, and it is specially used for irrigation in plain areas. Hebei is a plain of Yimapingchuan. This method can greatly increase production. The terrain near Luoshui River is close to Hebei, so it can be imitated. This method."

"Mr. Tian Yuanhao also established a complete set of water conservancy management system based on these irrigation methods,"

"Including the construction and maintenance of water conservancy projects, the distribution and management of water sources, and water conservancy taxation",
"Don't underestimate these systems. Simply increasing irrigation technology to expand agricultural production cannot guarantee the follow-up. Only a mature and experienced method can achieve a virtuous circle and make it sustainable."

Many things that Jushou said were very new to these officials.

In particular, there are a lot of words in Jushou's discourse, which they have never heard before.

But the general meaning they can still understand.

The officials in Luoyang stepped forward one after another to express their gratitude to Liu Jian.

Liu Jian said with a smile: "The general will stay here for a while. During this time, I will be here to promote our latest farming methods in Hebei and make this place rich."

"However, there are still some preparatory work to be done. I hope that you can build a bridge so that the local famous families in Luoyang can communicate effectively with us. After all, most of the land in Luoyang is still in their hands. Guangxing Water conservancy needs their funding."

"Of course, the Li Shu at the bottom cannot be ignored. I need you to select people with unique farming experience from the bottom farmers to come to me to exchange ideas. In addition, skilled craftsmen with excellent skills in other fields can come. Everyone Brainstorm."

"..."

"..."

Liu Jian and others discussed with these local people the management of Luoyang's local irrigation and water conservancy in the severe cold, while Guo Jia and Jia Xu were watching from not far away.

Guo Jia was a little confused, so he looked at Jia Xu: "Luoyang is just a place where General Liu is temporarily stationed. Last time I discussed with General Liu, he thought it was not the best opportunity to occupy Sizhou. After all, once Occupying this place will easily become the target of all forces, and Dong Zhuo will definitely fight Hebei to the death, allowing Yuan Shao to take advantage of the fisherman."

"Since General Liu doesn't want to hold Luoyang in his hands, why do he have to make great efforts? Consider Luoyang's local agricultural affairs? After all, Luoyang will have a good harvest in the coming year, and the food is not from Hebei."

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said with a smile, "This is the general's pattern."

"Although the general is against Dong Zhuo, it doesn't mean that the general is against the people under the court."

"The general's ideal is to create a strong Han Dynasty, a Han Dynasty that can allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment, a Han Dynasty that can stand on the top of the world, and make thousands of foreign races around the Han Dynasty bow their heads and bow their heads."

"Even if the world is divided, the common people are not the general's enemy. On the contrary, the general often says that the people are the general's real support."

"Although Luoyang is not in the general's hands right now, the people here have already been regarded by the general as his own people."

"And the old man believes that the general's deeds will definitely make the people of Sizhou remember his kindness!"

"When I come back the next day, don't the people here eat pots of milk to welcome the general?"

"Feng Xiao, do you know what this is called? This is the foundation of Wangba!"

Guo Jia was deeply shocked by Jia Xu's words.

"General Zuo is so impartial and selfless?"

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Naturally, this means having lofty aspirations, and this means being concerned about the world."

Guo Jia looked at Liu Jian not far away.

"It's a pity that Guo used to calculate people's hearts and schemes as the best way on weekdays, but it is only now that he knows that by calculating people's hearts and others... Maybe he can get the world, but what he gets is nothing more than a thousand dollars. A world riddled with holes."

"Only know how to plan the world, but don't know how to govern the world. After all, it is too superficial."

"The one that can really comfort the people must be the noble and upright art of kingship."

After hearing Guo Jia's self-talk, Jia Xu laughed.

"You're right, like you and me who are good at magic, if we keep planning properly, we can win the world, but in the end it doesn't have the long-term success of being kingly and upright."

"But this does not mean that there is no conspiracy and deceit in the kingly aura."

"These two things are actually complementary to each other."

Guo Jia was finally conquered by Jia Xu, the old man's far-reaching insight.

Although he usually claims to be an unparalleled wise man in the world, after he came to Liu Jian's command, he has seen two people who can surpass him in such a short period of time.

One is Liu Jian, and the other is Jia Xu in front of him.

Guo Jia reached out and pulled Jia Xu aside.

"I also ask Mr. Wen He for advice."

Jia Xu looked at Liu Jian's group not far away.

"The meaning of the old man is also very simple. General Liu really cares about all people, not only the people in Hebei, but also the people in Luoyang. He helps Luoyang build water conservancy, irrigate the farmland, and pass on their technology. In terms of kingship , I really hope that the Han Dynasty will be strong! I hope that the local people in Luoyang can live better."

"However, there are some other reasons behind exercising the righteousness of the kingly way. Although it is not the kingly way, it does not conflict with the kingly way."

"For example, why did General Liu use the local officials in Luoyang to contact the famous family? It is because these technologies in Hebei have been painstakingly developed by us over the years, and there is no problem in handing them over to them. But it can’t be done in vain.”

"The local wealthy households in Luoyang control most of the land. If we use our technology to build water conservancy and increase irrigation income here, won't they be the ones who will benefit the most?"

"Since they benefit the most, they have to give some?"

"The old man is in Hebei, and he has realized one thing over the years."

"Technology can also be sold for money! Technology including management is also technology."

"We Hebei people spent time thinking about this. The local people in Luoyang can use it without any problem. We can help them with people and technology."

"However, they have to give us back in accordance with the same value."

"It can be said to be goods, or it can be food."

"But I have to give it."

"The old man feels that with the wisdom of Luoyang's local famous family, they naturally know which is more important."

"The old man feels that they should not be stingy in this matter."

Guo Jia couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.

Then, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Does General Zuo really think so?"

Jia Xu glanced sideways at Guo Jia.

"Feng Xiao, don't talk nonsense. When the old man said that Shicai was said by General Zuo, it was clearly the words of the old man's own family."

"Forehead……"

Guo Jia was stunned when he heard Jia Xu's words.

Immediately afterwards, Jia Xu said slowly: "It's not just that this matter is the exclusive opinion of this old man."

"The old man has many other opinions!"

"For example, there is such a big war in Sizhou this time. Although it didn't hurt the root cause, the famous and powerful families in Sizhou have also seen some signs."

"They should understand that all major forces in the world regard Sizhou as a piece of fat, and the eyes of all forces are gathered here. When this Sizhou is not well maintained, it will become the next Yanzhou... dilapidated and poor , displaced."

"If the old man is from these famous families in Sizhou, maybe he will think of ways to start moving."

"This place is really unbearable."

"But where should it go?"

"The only options I can choose are Guanzhong, Hebei, and other places in the south."

"For those big families that have entangled interests with the Yuan family, they will still choose the south where the Yuan family is located. After all, the New Deal that is being thoroughly implemented in Hebei and Guanzhong is not in line with their interests."

"But after all, they are only a few of the top families. Most of the families have no interest relationship with the Yuan family, and at most they just admire them."

"At this time, if Hebei can extend a helping hand to Sizhou, these small and medium-sized wealthy families will see the kingly rule of Hebei and the broad mind of General Zuo... and the unlimited future of Hebei."

"Where does Feng Xiao think they will choose to migrate?"
