"It's a pity that this former land of dragon prosperity has reached the point where it is now." Wandering all the way in Qian County, looking at the few people in shabby clothes on the street, Yuan Shu sighed lightly: "Xing, the people are bitter; Death, the people are suffering! ”

Guo Jia looked at Yuan Shu strangely: "When did the lord have such a literary style again?" There is such a feeling. This remark expresses the sadness of the people, but it should be from the hands of a poor family, not like the princes from a wealthy family like the lord can speak! ”

Sometimes Guo Jia was really puzzled by Yuan Shu's thoughts. It stands to reason that he was born in a family, and there are countless slaves and maids under his command, and he is high up since birth, and the environment determines his thoughts, no matter how good he is, he also has a superior heart. But Yuan Shu is like this. If Yuan Shu has a cowardly personality, it doesn't matter, how can a road ghost with a domineering personality have such empathy for the people, shouldn't he treat human life as child's play and the people as mustard?

"Eh," Yuan Shu smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and wanted to pretend to be forced on a whim, but he didn't want to be slapped in the face by Guo Jia directly. Fortunately, there is no such thing as crossing in this era, Guo Jia can't think of it, otherwise with so many flaws revealed in his daily life, Guo Jia would have been exposed a long time ago.

"On a whim, I just felt it." Yuan Shu's words were vague.

Guo Jia was a little weird, seeing that Yuan Shu was unwilling to answer, he no longer pursued it, looked at the desolate scenery around him, and also sighed lightly: "Yuzhou used to be the first state in the world, before the Yellow Turban, Yuzhou had a population of more than five million, extremely rich, countless wealthy families settled here, and Yingchuan Academy is also full of talents." But now... The population is only one million, and most of them are women and children, old and weak, young and strong mostly died due to years of conquest, Liu Xuande finally coerced a large part, and the current Yuzhou is not even one-tenth of that year. ”

"In a troubled era, how many people will die here, and all that will be lost is national strength!"

"The troubled times are a major reshuffle of the world's forces, breaking the old shackles and class interests, and recreating the world. With the entire land of the Han Dynasty, how can it support nearly 60 million people? How can the people of the world be fed without losing most of them? Guo Jia said lightly.

After Yuan Shu's subtle transformation, Guo Jia is no longer limited to the vision of this era, but also begins to look at the change of dynasty and the coming of troubled times from the other side. The root of the troubled times is not in the Han Dynasty or the family, but in the imbalance of population and land resources. The root cause is that the Han can't afford to support so many people with such a little land. The mediocrity of the Son of Heaven, the chaos of the eunuchs, the greed of the officials, and the roots of the family are just external manifestations, that is, there is no Zhang Jiao, there are no ten permanent servants, and there is no Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, the world will still be chaotic.

"That's because these people are stupid!" Yuan Shu snorted coldly and said: "I only know about infighting, and I have studied infighting thoroughly, and those people standing at the top will not do anything except internal fighting." The endless land outside the Han Dynasty did not know how to open up, and they did not understand what a precious resource these 60 million people were. If you have a little heart to go outside, how can Dahan be in this current situation of not dying. ”

"My lord, you said it easily. Go out, can the Son of Heaven manage those people who go out? What if there is one more Great Chu and Great Qin when the time comes? Do you want to create another Spring and Autumn Warring States period? In the eyes of those people, the foundation of the Great Han is more important than anything else, and what they need is a unified and stable Han, not a strong and divided Han. Guo Jia shook his head.

"In the final analysis, the vision is still too narrow, and after hundreds of years of fighting, I still guard this acre and three points of land. Why aren't there a few careerists running outside? Yuan Shu thought about the history books that later generations had read, and said with hatred that iron does not become steel. Even a small leader among the so-called heroes of Liangshan can become the head of a small country, and if there are a few more Liu Bei Cao Cao-like figures, maybe the whole earth will be surnamed Han.

"Foreign countries are all backward barbarians, and the language is not compatible, and the development is backward, what is the point of becoming the master of one side? It's like the lord, let you be the king of the Southern Barbarians and the emperor of the Yue people, are you willing? It's better to be a county magistrate than that! Guo Jia asked speechlessly.

"Then you can fight back to the Central Plains after being strong!" Yuan Shu quibbled.

Not to mention the contradictions between different nationalities, the lord thinks that where abroad can compete with the Han Dynasty. And like unifying the Xiongnu, it is probably not as difficult as unifying Hebei to become the lord of the Xiongnu. Guo Jia continued to complain unceremoniously.

was refuted by Guo Jia and had no power to fight back, Yuan Shu, the lord, was directly defeated, and looked at Guo Jia hatefully: "Fengxiao, you have the kung fu to argue with me here, why can't you go to Liu Bei to get tens of thousands of people to come over?" Believe it or not, I transferred you to Yuan Hao and let you handle government affairs! ”

Seeing that Yuan Shu was annoyed and angry, Guo Jia shrank his head and muttered: "It's really shameless that you have to argue with me, and you want to threaten me if you lose." ”

Yuan Shu looked at Guo Jia, who had changed from a subordinate to a friend, with anger on his face, but he was a little happy in his heart. He finally understood why Guo Jia was so bohemian and uninhibited in history, but he was deeply loved by Cao Cao. The height is unbearable, and when it comes to Yuan Shu's position, it is so precious to have a friend like Guo Jia. With the increasing "emperor's might", the ministers under his command are either in awe or like Jia Xu, in the spirit of accompanying the king like a tiger, in order to protect themselves, every sentence has to be considered for a long time. Like Guo Jia, who is as unruly as ever, Yuan Shu is the only one under his command.

"By the way, lord, I heard that the girl in Zhangtai in Qian County is good, do you want to go and take a look?" Suddenly, Guo Jia raised his eyebrows, and said in a flirtatious tone, looking at Yuan Shu with a look that you know. (Zhangtai is a brothel during the Three Kingdoms period)

Yuan Shu looked at Guo Jia's swinger appearance and rolled his eyes: "You are all a person with a wife and children, why do you always like to go to this kind of place?" There are so many chapters in Yangzhou that are not enough for you to visit? ”

Guo Jia said in a solemn voice when he heard this: "Lord, you don't understand, the war is full of disasters, businessmen and people still have a livelihood, and the most pitiful thing is these girls in Zhangtai." Everyone is busy saving their lives, how many people care about these girls? It's a pity that they have no source of livelihood one by one, how hard life must be! Jia is a soft-hearted person, and she can't see the beautiful girls sad the most, so she has to visit them every time to solve their difficulties. ”

Hearing Guo Jia's shameless words, the corners of Yuan Shu's mouth couldn't help twitching, how could he say this so high-sounding? It's really like a saint, I almost believed what he said, can say such a fresh and refined prostitute, who else can you do in this era? If it falls into the afterlife, you will definitely have a place for the strongest joker candidate in the Celestial Empire.

"So you only care about pretty girls, and you don't care about those who aren't beautiful?"

Guo Jia looked compassionate and compassionate, and said sadly: "Jia is just a mortal, and his ability is limited. The weak water is three thousand, but Jia can only take one scoop to drink. There are so many girls in difficulty in the world, how can Jia save them alone? I can only do my best to save some people who are destined. ”

Yuan Shu's face turned straight when he heard this, and he looked at Guo Jia with a serious face: "Fengxiao, I finally understand." ”

"Lord, you now understand Jia's hard work!"

"It's not." Yuan Shu shook his head: "I used to think that the most shameless person in the world was Liu Xuande, but now I understand that I was wrong." Liu Xuande's face is still not thick enough compared to you! Your skin is thicker than the walls of Jinling City. ”
