The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 115
The door of the residence of the Qiao family sisters slowly opened, revealing a beautiful face, shed her vigilance after seeing it was Guo Jia, showing surprise.

"The general is back, please hurry up."

Xiao Qiao in a white dress opened the door of the mansion, and insisted on opening both halves of the door to show respect. Guo Jia stepped into the door and stopped her.

"Don't be too busy, you know I don't care about these vain gifts, it's cold outside, so hurry up and get in."

Xiao Qiao smiled like a flower, Guo Jia said what she said, and walked back to the house with the corner of her skirt to tell her sister that Guo Jia came to the house.

Going to the house and putting Guo Ye down, seeing that the eldest Qiao looked a bit haggard, and the younger Qiao also had a somewhat tired face. The two sisters stood in front of them, a pair of beautiful women, and tears welled up in their autumn eyes. .

Involuntarily, he stepped forward and opened his arms to embrace the two of them. Guo Jia hugged them gently, with a fragrant fragrance and soft jade in his arms, but he had no other distractions, and said in a soft voice: "Jia's sin is serious, let you follow me to be afraid, and risk your life with me." risk."

With tears in her eyes, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao shook her head silently. At this moment, Guo Jia was hugging her in her arms. Although Guo Jia didn't use any force, both of them seemed to be a little out of breath, but they didn't have the slightest thought of breaking free.

Standing on the Chengdu city tower facing the rebels, are the two daughters afraid?afraid!Ever wanted to back off?No!
Now when Guo Jia comes back, everything will be worth it.

As soon as he withdrew, Guo Jia stroked the faces of the two sisters with both hands, wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes with his fingertips, and smiled softly: "Your tears make me feel more distressed and uncomfortable than a sword cutting me, cry again ? You might as well stab me to death with your sword."

flutter
The two sisters burst into laughter together, and felt that their faces must be ugly at this time, so they turned around and wiped away their tears together.

Guo Jia didn't bother them to turn their backs to tidy up their appearance, and knelt down in the seats in the room at will. Guo Ye followed suit and knelt down beside him, with a concentrated expression but always secretly glanced at Guo Jia.

After the two women wiped away their tears, they turned around and saw Guo Jia sitting at the guest table, and wanted to invite him to the master seat. Guo Jia waved his hand and said with a smile: "Family, don't worry about common etiquette. After coming to Chengdu, Is everything satisfactory? If there is any discomfort in daily life, it is my lack of thoughtfulness and my fault."

The two sisters smiled gently and shook their heads together. As if thinking of something, Xiao Qiao ran to the inner room to get a small dress and came out in front of Guo Ye for comparison. Then she handed it to Guo Jia and said, "This is for Ye'er." I don’t know if the winter clothes I made fit or not.”

After Guo Jia took it, he unfolded the blue silk shirt, turned around and asked Guo Ye to stand up, and put it on for him, smoothing his face so that it fit just right.

But Guo Jia smiled wryly at the two daughters: "You don't have to worry about the children's clothes. The stitches are all your thoughts, but he is growing up, so he probably won't be able to wear them next year. In the future, don't worry about it." I worry about him, at such a young age, I have no worries about food and clothing, I am really afraid that he will be spoiled, and in the future, he will be a prodigal."

Guo Ye couldn't understand Guo Jia's words, put on new clothes and imitated Guo Jia and knelt down, his expression was always serious.

The two daughters, who covered their mouths and smiled coquettishly, didn't answer Guo Jia's words. They all knew that although Cai Yan loved Guo Ye, but the discipline was strict, but Guo Ye was really cruel to teach Guo Ye any mischief.

Chatting about trivial matters, narrating friendship, and laughing in the room, Guo Jia also felt the relaxation and happiness of ordinary people that he has not had for a long time here.

Declining Xiao Qiao's kindness to cook for him, Guo Jia was about to leave, but just as he was about to leave, Da Qiao showed embarrassment, as if there was something unspeakable.

Guo Jia noticed that there was something strange in her expression, and asked her, but Da Qiao hesitated to speak, and in the end it was Xiao Qiao who explained Guo Jia's confusion.

"General, my sister and I would like to ask you one thing. General, please promise our sister."

Guo Jia, who had a slightly surprised expression, suppressed her intentions, and said with a leisurely smile: "Little Qiao, even though you and Da Qiao are beautiful women, you can't use beauty tricks to make me confused, so I promise you first, or You talk about things first, and I will consider whether to agree."

Xiao Qiao blushed and stared at Guo Jia and said, "General, you, you, when did my sister and I use beauty tricks?"

Guo Jia blinked at her, saw her shy but stubborn expression, and said with a smile: "It's now. Don't you know that your current appearance is enough to captivate men in the world?"

Feeling being teased, Xiao Qiao turned her face away, and said in a muffled voice: "The general is insulting, hum, my sister and I hope that you can properly arrange the relatives of the fallen soldiers who have become orphans and widowed mothers. You must agree to this matter, general. "

After Xiao Qiao finished speaking, Guo Jia put away his joking attitude, his expression was a little heavy, and he fell into deep thought.

Seeing Guo Jia's expression, she thought he was angry, so Da Qiao hurriedly said to Guo Jia: "General, Xiao Qiao is ignorant and talking nonsense, don't worry about it."

Xiao Qiao thought she was right, but seeing Guo Jia's expressionless face, she also thought that her words had offended Guo Jia, so she turned her face away and refused to bow to Guo Jia, holding back her tears.

However, Guo Jia raised his hand towards Da Qiao, and said with a solemn expression: "Big Qiao, don't get me wrong, what Xiao Qiao said is right, I am obliged to do this matter, among the soldiers who died in battle, there are indeed many families who have become helpless Damn, maybe some pensions can help them tide over the difficulties temporarily, but it is not a long-term solution, I should think about how to arrange them."

If ordinary people have only sons and no heirs, they will not choose to join the army, because they may cut off their children and grandchildren. The so-called unfilialism has three major problems: no offspring is the biggest. Confucianism advocates benevolence and filial piety to rule the world. They have no choice but to rebel, whether they are the only child or have orphans and widows, their families will have a very difficult future after the pillars of the family fall.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao witnessed the bloody battle outside Chengdu. Although the fate of the rebels did not receive the slightest sympathy, there were also soldiers who died in the camp. They lost their lives for Guo Jia. No matter what, they should be given an explanation. A small amount of food and money may be able to support their families for several years, but after a few years?
With this in mind, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao hoped that Guo Jia would agree to their proposal.

Seeing that Guo Jia was not angry and didn't blame them for meddling in official affairs, both Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were relieved, but the tears that Xiao Qiao had held back just now fell down, and complained to Guo Jia while wiping: "General, Can't you stop suddenly looking like you want to eat people? It scared me to death."

Guo Jia smiled boredly, but her expression was still a little serious. She raised her eyes to Da Qiao and asked, "Since you have made such a proposal, do you have a specific implementation plan? I want to help them, but I can't let them rely on help." live."

Aid does not mean free support. Guo Jia can provide protection policies and preferential facilities, but it is impossible to support idlers. Over time, this will become his burden. Although Yizhou is large, its economy is not developed, and it is not as good as the Central Plains. In the north, because of the war in the north, the northern population migrated to the south, which brought advanced technology to the south and accelerated economic development. However, in terms of foundation, Yizhou is still very weak, and every place must be carefully planned.

Adhering to the economic policy of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, Guo Jia treats every expenditure with caution.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao looked at each other and smiled, everything was gloomy, and when she turned her head towards Guo Jia, her expression was solemn again, Da Qiao said: "General, when you were in Yingchuan, you helped refugees and taught the poor children yourself, and now you are the orphans of the fallen soldiers. We should also continue to open schools to teach them, this will save the orphans from the suffering of being displaced, and they will become talents in the future, which is also a great help for the general.”

Guo Jia listened attentively. This made sense. He had already made a plan, but he didn't discuss it with the advisers.

Why did the Yellow Turban Uprising fail?It's not that they are not strong, but that the leader has no long-term vision. Guo Jia is unwilling to assist Zhang Jiao. This is the main reason.

If there is no plan to cultivate military and political talents, then this kind of civilian uprising will not go far, and the consequences they can create are only destruction!The general trend of the world, the long-term division must be united, and the long-term must be divided. In fact, the long-term chaos must be ruled, and the long-term chaos will lead to chaos.

Taipingdao has no talents who can "govern" and has no plan to cultivate such talents. Therefore, what they can do is to destroy the exhausted Han Dynasty, but they have no way to bring the world back to peace.

Cultivating talents, this is what Guo Jia has been doing for a long time, together with Xi Zhicai, Xu Shu, Zuo Ci, etc. To change the world and create a new era, we need talents to be the executors , and this policy and line, Guo Jia has always put it in his heart as a top priority.

For the orphans caused by the war, there is a plan, which is to cultivate talents as follow-up talents for Guo Jia's future rule.

"Da Qiao's words are very close to my heart, but what about the mothers of these children? Or sisters and elders and other women's generation, should they be allowed to work in the fields?" Guo Jia asked solemnly.

Da Qiao kept silent and let Xiao Qiao answer. Xiao Qiao had just cried and her eyes were reddish, but she was very energetic and said seriously: "General, Shu brocade is famous all over the world. It is not difficult to learn and master this craft. If the general intends to house orphans and widows, he can let them live together in the same place, weave Shu brocade, and the general will exchange money and food, wouldn’t it allow them to support themselves?”

Guo Jia, who was in deep thought, showed a smile. This is a way. It is not impossible for women to farm in the fields, but the efficiency must not be as good as that of men. Besides, for them with heavy burdens, handicrafts are obviously a little easier. Shu brocade is a luxury. The products have been famous for a long time, bringing them together can not only solve their livelihood, but also form a silk fabric production point, even if it only provides the necessary military supplies for the Taiping Army, it can make them have a considerable income.
