Outsiders are not allowed to move around freely before passing the inspection.
However, Guanyi is well built and decorated very elegantly. On the top floor of Guanyi, there is even a pavilion to view the sea.
Guo Jia did nothing. He just sat under the pavilion on the roof of the post building every day, blowing the cool breeze, reading the free Wenchang newspaper article by article, and looking into the distance from time to time in a daze.
In fact, the area around Guanyi is quite lively, with restaurants, bookstores, Four Treasures Stores, tailor shops, etc. But Guo Jia didn't even look at anything except going to the bookstore to read. The reason is simple. He has no money. He has spent all his money on his way north. Donkey is also an old man and he can't bear to sell it. Although the bookstore can read books for free, when he heard that Wenchang Pavilion has more books, anyone can do it. After going to read a book, after experiencing the freshness of the book, he no longer had any interest.
He knew that 'paper' was Cai Hou's papermaking technique improved and carried forward by the general, and became what it is today. Moreover, the general respected Cai Hou very much. There was a portrait of Cai Hou in the Wenchang Pavilion, and he even heard that a statue was built to commemorate him. However, This is still under discussion at Wenchang Pavilion, but it will definitely be built.
After all, there will be many opportunities to see in the future. He has already inquired clearly. Anyone who comes to seek refuge will be welcome, whether they are refugees, scholars, knights, or celebrities. Even if General Wang doesn't know the real person, he doesn't plan to leave, because the general is really good under his rule. Whether it's life or culture, there are even a large number of doctors, including two great doctors, Hua Tuo and General Dajun. Children can also go to school and learn whatever they are interested in.
Even if Guo Jia doesn't understand the selling points of real estate two thousand years later, he still knows that this is a good place. Commerce is developed, medical conditions are good, educational resources are good, and material resources are abundant, especially in an era like today. If Zhentu Hecheng liberalizes real estate transactions, even the housing prices in the capital will not be able to match those two thousand years later.
Guo Jia looked at the seascape in the distance and felt the prosperity.
The Guanyi was built to be large and high, which seems to be intentional. From the top of the building, in addition to Wenchang Pavilion, you can have a panoramic view of many places in Tuhe City.
He could see the docks on the seaside in the distance, the navy swimming in the sea, and the huge warships sailing on the high seas anchored in the port. He saw the excitement in the market, the hustle and bustle among the fields, the children playing among the streets, and even the male and female students in several schools who were practicing martial arts with the police lieutenants. He could also see the busy officials walking around Tuhe City and the soldiers guarding various places.
It is prosperous and peaceful, but it also reveals a kind of order.
He really couldn't imagine how the legendary rebel who was born in Guizhou, joined the Yellow Turbans, suffered a defeat, then gathered the remaining army, plundered the people of Youzhou, and massacred the officials, wealthy families, how could he have such ability to govern the world.
Before coming, he wanted to see if Wang Yan was the master of the Ming Dynasty. Although he was very confident, after arriving here, he felt that now he should ask Wang Yan to see if he could win Wang Yan's eyes.
But he didn't care. After arriving here, he thought that as long as Wang Yan didn't make mistakes, even if he couldn't conquer the world, he would at least have the foundation to rule half of the world by crossing the river. Even if something unexpected happens midway, there will be no problem in ensuring Liaodong's foundation.
He had heard that the only place to use troops now is on the grassland. After the northern barbarians were wiped out, Wang Liaodong was the largest barbarian. He had 100,000 soldiers, and the Han Dynasty would be unable to conquer them for a long time. If they could drive Wang Yan back to Liaodong, it was because they were so awesome.
With this understanding, he decided to stay here regardless of whether Wang Yan valued him or not. You can be a civil official. If you are lucky, you can be promoted to govern the government. You can be a teacher. You can even do academic work in Wenchang Pavilion. You can also join the Governor's Office and do army logistics work. He is confident that he can do these things.
The main reason is that after seeing General Wang's rule, his idea of assisting others to fight against General Wang disappeared. Just looking at this vibrant scene, and then thinking about fighting against such a force, how desperate it must be. .
The main source of despair lies in the indestructible popular sentiment. He believed that whoever ruined the good life of those people would be attacked crazily by these people and would not stop until death...
After making up his mind, Guo Jia settled down even though he had no money to enjoy it. He was not impatient, not impatient, and had a plan in mind.
Five days passed like this. On the morning of the sixth day, someone from the post office found him: "Sir, after having his meal, he followed me into the city and went to the general's mansion to meet the general. The general is a friendly person, so don't panic, sir." , normal is enough.”
There are really no white people coming and going in Tuheguan Posthouse. Either he was a rich man doing business or he was a scholar who came to invest, so the servants all addressed him as "sir", so there was absolutely nothing wrong with him.
"Thank you for letting me know." Guo Jia bowed his hands.
The boy returned the favor with a smile: "No need to say thank you, it's just my job."
After that, the young man left here and went to inform other scholars.
There has been turmoil in the Central Plains recently and the situation is unclear. More and more scholars have come to Liaodong, so they are still very busy.
After breakfast, at around eight o'clock, Guo Jia entered Tuhe City and went straight to the general's mansion along with the post staff and other scholars who wanted to see General Wang.
No one is surprised that Chenshi is the time when officials start working every day, and the General's Mansion only handles affairs at this time.
Guo Jia was waiting with the scholars in the side hall. There were fried green tea, some pastries, and the latest Wenchang Newspaper, as well as the Military and Political Counselor's Newspaper of the General Mansion, which was not in the newspaper and could only be seen by officials. It records what happened within the territory, commending officials in a certain place, praising a certain sergeant, etc., as well as some progress in internal affairs, of course, dealing with officials involved in corruption within the territory, and the general's encouragement to military and political officials. , words of warning.
What Guo Jia saw was very novel. This was something he had never been exposed to before. He had never heard of it before. When I look at it now, I think of the beauty of this newspaper. Because there are many government orders and various detailed rules above, they have a strong regulatory effect on the misinterpretation of government orders at the middle level, and they can be uploaded and distributed. Unless everything in a place is terrible, it is impossible to hide it. General.
In addition, it also broadens the horizons of grassroots officials and gives them the opportunity to see problems at the highest level, which is also very important for grassroots officials.
He was immersed in the information reported by the counselor, silently analyzing the intentions of various matters, unaware of the changes around him. One by one, the scholars left, and in the end he was the only one left.
"Sir, sir? Please come with me." The guard gently patted Guo Jia, who was immersed in the message, and called him back to his senses.
Guo Jia looked around and saw that he was the last one left. He smiled apologetically at the guard, got up and followed him out of the side hall, walked through the spacious corridor, and arrived at the large study room of the General's Mansion. The personal guard said that this was the place where the general managed politics and studied, and it was also the place where the general spent the longest time every day.
After seeing Guo Jia to the door, the guard made a gesture of invitation, then stood at the door and stopped moving forward.
Of course Guo Jia is not nervous. He has figured out the future path. It is better to reuse the general. Regardless of not reusing him, he can live well in Liaodong anyway. As for realizing his value ideal of helping others strive for hegemony, that is already No more.
So he walked straight in and saw the Lord of Liaodong, the second most powerful rebel in the world, sitting in front of the French window to the north.
Seeing that the general was dressed casually and showed no dignity, Guo Jia was even more relieved. Because it is not a good thing for a hero who was born in the capital of Guizhou and built a huge fortune to learn the etiquette of scholars.
With this in mind, he stepped forward and bowed solemnly: "Yingchuan Guo Jia, pay homage to the general."
Wang Yan didn't know what Guo Jia was thinking, but he actually knew the so-called etiquette. As for why I'm wearing single clothes now, of course it's because it's hot. It's not that he is disrespectful, he just does it on the basis of his comfort. It was impossible for him to wear three layers of clothes, boots and a crown on such a hot day. Just like the group of scholars in Wenchang Pavilion, they are already hot, so if they wear less clothes, it will be over. They have to dress up meticulously every day.
This kind of persistence is correct, but Wang Yan thinks it is unnecessary to persist on this surface. But he didn't say anything. Nowadays, scholars are not rotten scholars. No matter how they dress, it's not his turn to preach. Who knows what he likes.
Looking at Guo Jia in front of him, the general smiled and said, "There is no need to be polite because of your filial piety. Sit down and talk."
Guo Jia thanked him again and sat down across from him.
"Why did you come to vote for Fengxiao?" Wang Yan said the same thing every time he spoke.
"The Han Dynasty existed in name only. The emperor had no authority. How could he advance to seize power? Dong Zhuo later brought chaos to the country. Now eighteen princes are attacking Dong. Everyone says that the eighteen princes are loyal to the Han Dynasty. Jia thinks otherwise. Although there are three armies, With one hundred thousand, Dong Zhuo was invincible, Guan Yu slashed Hua Xiong with his sword, and the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang fought fiercely against Lu Bu, which spread throughout the world. However, the princes had different ideas, and they would fight for power and gain, and blame each other. Zhuo could be defeated, but Zhuo could not be destroyed.
I predict that Dong Zhuo will take the emperor and move west to Chang'an. If the princes are not convinced, the battle will be ineffective. If Dong Zhuo goes west, the coalition forces will disperse. At that time, when the princes returned to their respective territories, they would inevitably attack and conquer each other in order to become emperors.
Last winter, I heard that the general knew that Liu Hong had died, and He Jin took power and marched into Linyu. I also heard that the general had leveled 500 miles of grassland in Xixi in two years. After the autumn, he marched thousands of miles to conquer Guangning, and went down to Juyong. And picture the land of Youzhou. The grassland is flat and the grain road is accessible. You can also go out from Guangning and go down to Pingcheng (Datong) to avoid the danger of Yanmen. You can draw Bingzhou and Liangzhou in the north and look at Guanzhong in the south.
In this way, Linyu, Juyong, and Yanmen all sent out armies together, and the land of Hebei was easily obtained, and the general's hegemony was completed. With the general's ability to govern the world, he will cultivate steadily for five years, accumulate grain and grass, organize and train the army, and cross the river to go south. The general will take the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
Although Jia was young and weak, he studied essays at the age of four, read a lot of books, traveled to various places, and claimed to have mastered the art of slaying dragons. If the general does not give up, Jia Yuan will work hard to make plans for the general's family and help the general achieve great things. "
After hearing Guo Jia's words, Wang Yan nodded with a smile.
What this boy meant was very simple. He had heard about his name, General Wang, and his actions. He thought that the timing was good, the place he sent troops to occupy was good, and he was a capable person. Because I looked up to him, I came to work as his subordinate. These words showed his own strategic vision and even made a small prophecy.
Dong Zhuo's westward move to Chang'an should have been carried out by now. Luoyang has been burned, and Sun Jian has also obtained the imperial seal. At this time, he may have fled to fight with Liu Biao, but the news has not yet spread.
The rebels on his side haven't received the news yet. Guo Jia led the donkey all the way north, from the time it just thawed to the current summer, it is even more impossible to know. Therefore, Guo Jia was very prophetic and correctly predicted Dong Zhuo's response strategy.
And relatively speaking, Guo Jia's information channels are limited. In this situation, he made this judgment based on the eighteenth princes' fight against Dong, the battle situation at Hulao Pass, and his limited understanding of Dong Zhuo's side. This is quite valid. Strategic vision.
As for the battle between Liu Guan and Zhang Lu Bu that Guo Jia was talking about, the news has already spread. At that time, Gongsun Zan introduced Liu Guan and Zhang. Presumably, he said that the three of them were the men who fought under Lingzhi City in the fierce battle against the Liaodong king's bandits.
But this time Guan Yu warmed up the wine and killed Hua Xiong, Lu Bu was invincible in a single fight, and Liu, Guan, and Zhang fought together to suppress Lu Bu, which also made people re-recognize General Wang's combat effectiveness. The legend before love was not that Mrs. Zhen was bragging to Wang Yan, but that Wang Yan was indeed an invincible general.
Lu Bu killed the princes and generals like he killed chickens. What would happen if Wang Yan came over? This is a problem that everyone faces for the first time.
But most of them just think about it. Wu Yong did not decide the issue, and King Chu Ba was also fierce. Wasn't he also beaten by Liu Bang so shamelessly that he committed suicide in Wujiang River when he saw Jiangdong's elders...
Guo Jia did not appear now, but waited until the princes dispersed and returned to their respective homes. He went to see Yuan Shao. But as we all know, Yuan Benchu was always scheming, and it was difficult for him to do so for long. Guo Jia saw this, and Yuan Shao didn't pay much attention to him, so he returned to his hometown and stayed for a few years.
It wasn't until Cao Cao's counselor Xi Zhicai died of illness that Xun Yu promoted Guo Jia to Cao Cao and served as Cao Cao's counselor. He contributed many strategies. The most famous one was his theory of ten victories and ten defeats against Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Be praised by others.
Now that Guo Jia has come to serve under General Wang, he will definitely have an impact on Lao Cao, but it is not as big as imagined. Because Cao Cao has a lot of talents under his command, and he himself is quite capable. The wheel of history is rolling forward. As long as the opportunity comes, no one can be missing.
Of course, this does not apply to the Communist Party. To use a cliché, it means it has a historical mission. There is no doubt about this, because the Communist Party has repeatedly made the impossible possible, survived many times of death, grown and liberated China. For example, the most famous crossing of Chishui River, that kind of dead situation, absolutely no one can turn the tide...
Wang Yan recognized Guo Jia's strategic vision, because that was exactly how he arranged it.
But again, he is just guarding the key places to retain the ground and slowly encroaching on it, rather than a battle to determine the land of Hebei, which the current Liaodong cannot digest. Having acquired so much territory, population, resources, and military strength that cannot keep up, it is not strengthening, but weakening.
"Fengxiao is indeed a man of great talent. What you said is exactly what I thought. But if three armies come out to fight in Hebei, it cannot be achieved in one battle. It is all because of our abundant people and the sudden increase in population. The old The people are bound to be exhausted. When I raised the army, I said that I would teach the people to eat three meals a day, including meat for three meals, and that they would be educated and their diseases would be treated. However, I have worked hard for five years, but I can only make the people eat two meals a day and eat thick porridge in the morning. , eating dry rice in the evening, if it is not the advantage of being close to the sea, and the income from catching seafood, eating meat is just empty talk.
Therefore, my intention is to take care of the world slowly, to be steady and steady, and to be down-to-earth. Even if the old people can no longer be rich, they will never be poor again. This is the heart of the people under my rule and cannot be shaken. "
Guo Jia nodded in support: "The general is highly righteous and actually seeks prosperity and strength for the people, which is a blessing to the people."
Wang Yan waved his hand and said: "Since Fengxiao is here, he has far-sightedness and a strategy, and I will definitely use it. There are two things, military and political. What does Fengxiao want to do?"
Guo Jia was very sensible. He stood up to salute and bowed deeply: "But it depends on the general's arrangement."
"I know that filial piety is a great talent, but it lacks practicality. I want to be the chief of a pavilion in Tuhe and communicate more with the people. The officials under my rule are not to 'control the people'. The people are not cattle, horses, dogs and sheep, so why control them?" My officials are "for the people". And the soldiers come from the people, the people are the foundation of the country, and the people are the most important. Fengxiao will be the chief of the pavilion for half a year, and in the spring he will join the general's mansion to work for me. Fengxiao is unknown, you said before Guan and Zhang, Liu among them is Liu Bei and Liu Xuande.
He was a clan member of the Han Dynasty and the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan. The year before last, Zhang Chungong was promoted to Anxi County Lieutenant. At that time, the governor was seeking merit in the examination and asked for money. Xuande whipped the governor and left with his seal. Fearing that he would be punished, he came to Liaodong to seek refuge with us. Like you, he first became the chief of the pavilion and then became an employee. "
"Oh?" Guo Jia was very surprised and said, "Looking at his behavior, he is a man with great ambitions, and he also helps each other. The general knows people well, but he doesn't recruit them? If he doesn't recruit, why does the general have such a high position? He knew very well that the general was false and that if he succeeded, he would be in serious trouble. If he didn't surrender, why didn't the general kill him and instead taught his three brothers to go south?"
Guo Jia is also a ruthless person, but of course the important thing is his youth. This guy had many friends with rangers in his early years and was very knowledgeable, but he could be considered a mixed bag of society. After all, a ranger is a hooligan to a certain extent. This hooligan is not a noun referring to a person without a house or land, but an adjective two thousand years later. So it's not surprising that he would kill if he didn't surrender.
Even if I insist on praising him, Guo Jia's words also show that he is thoughtful, foresighted and cautious. Because I felt that if Liu Bei could succeed, he would have to kill him first. It would be strange if this was not careful, cautious, and foresighted.
"Following filial piety also means knowing people well. I also think that Liu Xuande has a heroic spirit, and he can conquer people who are good at fighting in Guanzhang. In the grassland war, there are two of them as generals."
Wang Yan laughed, first praised Guo Jia, and then said, "The struggle for hegemony in the world is indeed about killing, but the focus is more on it. I once recruited Liu Bei, but I am a traitor. He is a Han man, how can I do anything? ? I saw that he had a kind heart and was kind to the people, so I made him the chief of the pavilion, and he went deep into the people and made them more into their hearts. I asked him to work for me, and I wanted to make him know that I am strong.
Now that we have left Liaodong, he knows that I am false and true, so he will not establish any business with the north, but will go south to make plans. If it really comes true, I know who they are and they know that I am strong. When our troops approach the city, they will not resist in vain and will lead their troops to surrender. Moreover, he was also deeply influenced by Liaodong, so he must be kind to the people, and the people under his rule can live in peace, which is what I want. "
"Congratulations, General." Guo Jia cupped his hands. Of course, he did not expect that General Wang would think so far and his methods would be so wild. How much confidence would he have in himself to train someone to send him to the south to fight for hegemony?
"Where are Fengxiao's family?"
"My parents died early, Jiayi never got married, and she is now alone."
"In this case, I will marry you and get a good wife. Carrying on the family line is a big deal. Moreover, there is a shortage of people under my rule. How many people there are, I will send out an army to occupy as much territory as possible."
Seeing Guo Jia nodding his thanks, Wang Yan said, "I see that your Qi is weak and your body is weak. I would like to reach out to check your pulse for diagnosis and treatment, and prescribe some decoction to replenish your body."
"Thank you, General." Guo Jia hurriedly stretched out his hand. He was afraid that he would get sick and the miracle doctor would come face to face, so he hurriedly took a look.
After taking a pulse, Wang Yan wrote a prescription and handed it to Guo Jia: "Don't be afraid if you are a filial piety. It's a minor illness, but it's not a serious problem. Three doses of medicine are enough. Just go to the hospital to get medicine with this prescription. If If you don’t know how to boil it, you can wait for the apprentice in the hospital to finish it with you.
If you want to achieve great things, good health and long life are the most important things. If your Qi is weak and your body is weak, you must concentrate on recuperating your body after taking medicine. After you have settled down, go to the medical department to look for Hua Tuo. He is the Nanyang miracle doctor. He is now under my rule as the great medical doctor and the medical sacrifice wine. He has created his own body-building exercises. You should go and learn them. You must practice them every day. "
"Thank you, General, for your consideration." Guo Jia bowed deeply again.
This boss is so nice, he speaks so honestly...
"You don't need to be polite to show your filial piety. I was born in Guizhou and was a rebel in the Yellow Turbans. Why should I care so much?" Wang Yan laughed and waved his hand, "Go ahead, let's allocate rooms and do the inheritance test today. Someone will ask you to arrange matters tomorrow. Don’t let me down.”
Guo Jia was rude again as he was accustomed to. He smiled sheepishly at the general, took two steps back, then turned around and left, his footsteps much lighter...
Wang Yan shook his head and smiled, and then began to concentrate on the affairs reported to him. The affairs of more than one million people are quite a lot, involving all aspects. But he only dealt with the general direction and defined the scope, and the people below could do the rest.
Nowadays, it can be said that his men are full of talents, mainly scholars. Anyone who understands knows that the world is about to be in chaos, and those who are decisive will run north. Of course, this refers to people from the north, and there are still relatively few people from the south. Mainly, the south is relatively stable now, and Wang Yan hasn't radiated that far yet.
Guo Jia is talented and has a high ceiling, so he must be cultivated well. Regardless of civil affairs, it will also be used in future wars. It can be sent to the front line to take charge of logistics, make suggestions to front line generals, and make decisions on the fly, which can play a very strong role.
Now that the world is in chaos, Wang Yan is still thinking about who will take the initiative to seek refuge with him, General Wang. After all, this is the Three Kingdoms. They are all famous people. They have a group of famous people who make plans and lead troops to fight. They are also light-hearted and sound exciting.
Especially there is a kind of joy of collecting...
Let's say that Guo Jia left the big study, was led out of the general's mansion by his personal guards, and was handed over to a small official, who then led him towards the opposite government office.
After entering the government office, I went through the examination in the foyer.
As we all know, verification is an ID card, and transmission is a letter of introduction. The system of transmission was also retained under General Wang's rule, but it was done very easily. The common people went to the pavilion chief to say hello, and swish, swish, was printed on a piece of paper with the format. Write the reason on it and endorse it with your seal. The general encouraged people to move around more, but for the convenience of management, he did not abolish this system, otherwise only one ID card would be enough.
After a while of printing operations by the officials, and finally fastening the seal with force, Guo Jia got his identity in Liaodong, and he looked at it curiously.
It was a square piece of blue cardboard that could not be bent easily and was well made. The words on it are all printed and can be easily distinguished by hand. It has two sides, with his name, place of origin in Yingchuan, and age written on the front. There is also a row of unfamiliar addresses, which should be the house where he wants to live. On the back are the four characters "Unobstructed Passage", with the signature of General Wang and the seal of General Wang printed below.
Seemingly seeing his doubts, the official explained: "Sir, the general supports the scholars to move around in many places under his rule. Anyone whom the general meets can travel freely in Liaodong and can go anywhere. "
"What should I do if there is any trouble?"
"The general has said that if you really do something meticulous and do your job well, you will be exempted from responsibility and given the chance to change. If you don't do your job well, you will be assigned to labor. It is bitterly cold in Liaodong, and you will die of freezing and starvation in one winter."
The official grinned, but his yellowed teeth were frighteningly bright.
"The general really has a broad mind."
Guo Jia lamented the new boss's overall situation. It didn't matter whether people died or not. The main thing was that Wang Yan didn't care about others spying on information, as long as he did his job well. How confident he was.
Sure enough, the investment was correct. With such a generous attitude, he will definitely be tolerant and he will be a really good boss.
After silently praising General Wang, Guo Jia followed the former clerk out of the government office and walked to his residence. When I arrived at the place, I discovered that the house was not far from the General's Mansion. You can feel the importance of the General just by looking at the location...
