Chapter 359: Guo Jia's Journey to the Plains (I)

Yingchuan, Nanyang, Runan, these three counties are the most dense three of the Eastern Han Dynasty, if you look at the map, you will find that these three counties are actually next to each other, these three counties have fertile land, developed water systems, developed agriculture, and a good economic foundation is fed back to the superstructure is the education here is extremely developed, it can be said that these three counties are the top talent pool of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In such a Yingchuan County, it is really a famous man all over the place, and there are many wealthy families like dogs, but the recognized four major scholars of Yingchuan are still Xun, Han, Zhong, and Chen, among which the Xun family is the most expensive, this Xun family is the descendant of Xunzi, and Xun Shu belonged to the literary world at that time when Emperor Huan, and his name was "Shenjun", just listening to this name, you can know that this is almost the main figure of the Wenlin League. At that time, the famous sages Li Gu and Li Ying all respected him as a teacher.

And Xun Yu is the representative of the Yingchuan Xun clan, and by the way, Han Fu is the representative of the Yingchuan Han clan.

Therefore, as a top scholar, Xun Yu, how can he look at Ma Qiang, who suppresses the strong people of the plains every day, not pleasing to the eye.

In Xun Yu's heart, the Deshi clan wins the world.

Of course, this was true in the late Han Dynasty and even in the Tang Dynasty.

Xi Zhong and Guo Jia are from a poor family, especially Guo Jia, he is actually the same clan as Guo Tu, but the same sect is not the same room, Guo Jia has been born since he was a child, and he doesn't know how many self-proclaimed noble scholars he has eaten in his early years, so he doesn't have much sense of belonging to the scholars.

In fact, the gap between the Hanmen and the scholars is not as deep as imagined, although the family has been high-ranking officials and even state-level cadres for generations, you are just the second generation of petty officials who have produced a few department-level cadres in a family, but everyone is still considered a class, as long as you are really talented, the second generation of big officials is still willing to play with the second generation of small officials.

Xun Yu is very aware of the talents of Xi Zhong and Guo Jia, if these two people are in the peaceful era, I am afraid they will not be able to get ahead, but in this troubled era, these two military strategic ghosts will inevitably shine.

"Although Yuan Bohai is deficient in military strategy, the reason is that there is no one around him, and the two virtuous brothers must be the masterminds in his army, are they still willing to succumb to an iron-faced man?"

Appearance justice exists in any era in China, Zhong Kui has a lot of say in this, the deeds of Jia Xu and Iron Mask under Ma Qiang have long been spread all over the world, and in the face of the risk that he may be under an iron mask man like Duan Ying, no one who is arrogant is willing to accept it.

Xun Yu's words did move Xi Zhong, but Guo Jia looked indifferent.

"Let's go, that's the case, I and Zhicai will go to Bohai, Fengxiao can temporarily live in the plains, and watch the world, but don't take Ma Qiang lightly!" Xun Yu saw that Guo Jia was not optimistic about Yuan Shao at all, although he didn't understand why, he still took a step back.

Xun Yu can become the most important adviser under Cao Cao in history, and naturally understands what it means to give and win together.

Guo Jia glanced at Xi Zhong, and saw that Xi Zhong had no intention of leaving, so he sighed and said, "Yuan Bohai has Yingchuan, Hebei, Nanyang, and Runan around him, and his son Yuan Tan has succeeded Yuan Ji, but he still loves Yuan Shang the most, and there will be chaos in the future, if the two brothers want to go to Hebei, be careful!" ”

Guo Jia said the reason why he was not optimistic about Yuan Shao, but Xun Yu was a little unimpressed.

Xun Yu's brother Xun Chen, as well as Xin Ping and Guo Tu from the same county, are all strategists in Yuan Shaona, with these people, where will they suffer, not to mention that everyone is in the circle of scholars, what is there to fight for.

Indeed, in the political game of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the scholars should be one, otherwise they would not be able to fight with the relatives and eunuchs who represented the imperial power, and the reason why the Kwantung scholars can develop to this day is to help each other.

Guo Jia said goodbye to Xun Yu and Xi Zhong, Xun Yu knew that Guo Jia would spend money, so he left him a piece of gold to entangle, and repeatedly told him not to defect to Ma Qiang.

After Guo Jia and the other Xun Yu and Xi Zhong's carriages and horses disappeared into view, they immediately took the gold to the plain money store to exchange money.

"Shopkeeper! Give me money tickets! Guo Jia's eyes were full of excited little stars.

The sky can be learned, although Xun Yu is in charge of eating and drinking along the way, it is impossible to take him to spend all day drinking, which makes him suffocated!

"A horseshoe gold ingot, ninety percent of the fineness, one pound of weight, come, this is your money ticket, a total of five baht nine thousand eight hundred and seventy-three dollars, nine thousand five hundred dollars for you to change the money ticket, the rest is cash, you order, by the way, you see, that is today's gold and silver price! Right? ”

The shopkeeper of the cash cabinet skillfully verified the gold given by Guo Jia, and then handed the money ticket to Guo Jia.

Ma Qiang's money should be the most among the princes now, and he has mastered the relatively highest papermaking and printing skills, so he naturally started to print money.

No one is afraid of having a lot of money!

Ma Qiang's money ticket is mainly for businessmen to use, the goods produced by the Red Star Camp have always been in short supply, whether it is the plain or Quanzhou, are businessmen gathered, the most annoying thing for this businessman is to bring a lot of money on the road, so the appearance of the money ticket is extremely sought after, of course, at the beginning this money ticket is just a voucher given by the Red Star Camp, you can take this voucher to exchange money, at that time it was also called the payment bill, but now, Ma Qiang has long since thrown away the mask, directly called the money ticket.

If Dong Zhuo, who is in Chang'an, knows that Ma Qiang has opened paper as money and is recognized by businessmen, he has to be angry and wants to jump off the cliff, but what Lao Tzu took out is still a serious copper coin, why don't you recognize it!

Guo Jia took the money ticket and looked at it first, the paper used in this money ticket is very thick, and the ink used seems to be special, the whole money ticket is composed of two colors, red and black, and the side of the whole money ticket is a very complex pattern, with a thousand coins written in the middle, and it says plain money line,

"I said shopkeeper, this money ticket won't be fake, right?" Guo Jia shook off the money ticket and asked with a smile.

The shopkeeper said, "What's the fake!" Don't talk about this paper, the whole Han is only available in our plains, you look at this ink, smell it, it is added with special spices, and this pattern, this is not a painting! It's printed!! Every one of them is the same!

And guest officer, let me tell you, there is a secret mark on this money, if you take a fake money ticket to exchange money, we can see it at once! ”

Guo Jia smiled and said that he was taught, and after thanking him, he walked to Qionglou not far away.

Qionglou can not be regarded as an official industry, it can only be said to be the industry of the Red Star Camp, here, there are the best wine, the best food, and the best dancing girls and singers, it is the first-class amusement place in the Plains Country, but it is not comparable to the tavern that Guo Jia was in before.
