"Tsk." Guo Jia circled around the white jade beauty twice, and was full of praise. "A rare treasure, a real rare treasure. The jade is good, the work is good, and the beauty is better. This is something from the palace, right? ”

Sun Ce leaned aside, sipping tea. "How so?"

"Such a large piece of Khotanese white jade, ordinary people have no chance to see it, and the jade workers are no better than other craftsmen, except in the palace, there is no other place to make a living. Such a good carver should be the chief jade worker of the palace Shang Fangjian. ”

Sun Ce felt reasonable. Jade was a hierarchical item in the Han Dynasty, and not everyone had the opportunity to use it, and the fact that as long as you had money in later generations, you could get a piece of jade to play with would never appear in the Han Dynasty. Jade workers are only useful in the palace, and they are useless when they leave the palace. When Sun Quan became emperor, he could only use gold seals instead because he couldn't find jade workers to carve jade seals. Jin destroyed Wu, and there were only gold seals and no jade seals among the seized seals.

"Have you ever seen anything like it, even a little smaller?"

"Nope."

"I don't quite understand, Yuan Shao ransacked the palace, how could this thing not be swept away?"

Guo Jia shook his head. "I don't know, but it's understandable. Before Yuan Shao ransacked the palace, the palace had been in chaos for several months, and this thing might have been stolen out of the palace by anyone, and it was impossible to say if it was hidden at home, and when Dong Zhuo ransacked Luoyang and fell into the hands of Dong Zhuo, it may not necessarily be Dong Zhuo who got it from the palace. Of course, it may also be that this thing was not in the palace in the first place, and the etiquette system is a ritual system, and there are too many things that are respected on the surface, but there are too many things that are not taken seriously behind the scenes. Really according to the etiquette system, how many wealthy families in Luoyang are not courteous? ”

Sun Ce was also confused and had no way to judge. "Then you say, what do you mean by Jia Xu giving me this thing?"

Guo Jia sat down and shook the feather fan, looking nonchalant. "Willing to be a concubine, bow down to the minister. If he doesn't give this white jade beauty, I also know that without our support and response, they won't be able to survive. After Huang Wan sat in Luoyang, their life was sad. The war is imminent, and in order to solve his worries, it is inevitable that Huang Wan will attack Dong Yue stationed in Mianchi first. Ziyi kidnapped Dong Yue's daughter, Jia Xu didn't show some sincerity, how could he make Dong Yue believe in his sincerity. forced Dong Yue to ask us for help, and the people of Liangzhou were detached. ”

Sun Ce suddenly realized. Although Yuan Quan and Guo Jia have different emphasis, they have the same goal, and they are talking about the same truth. Jia Xu lived a very difficult life and took the initiative to surrender. Of course, he hasn't finally conceded defeat, otherwise he wouldn't have hinted in such a subtle way, but would have directly lowered the table. does not drop the words, and does not even leave a word of the handle, just hints, which shows how tangled and reluctant he is in his heart.

Sun Ce couldn't help but laugh. The situation is stronger than people, and the old fox can only admit it. The boundaries of the state are indeed not suitable for development, and when the population of the Central Plains is not yet one in ten, no matter how strong the nomads are, they dare not bare their teeth. The Huns who will plague the Central Plains in the future are still just stray dogs, and only after decades of chaos in the Central Plains, full of devastation, they dare to show their fangs.

Now, Lao Tzu will never give them this opportunity. Dare to bare your teeth, and Lao Tzu will beat you all over the face.

"Let Huang Zhong move to Luyang after the New Year, he will go sooner or later anyway."

——

The New Year is approaching, and the peaceful atmosphere is becoming more and more lively day by day, and the peaceful atmosphere dilutes the sadness caused by the pandemic, and people bury the bones of their loved ones, wipe away their tears, and start a new life, hoping that the new year will be better.

While most of the time that wish falls through, this year is not the same as in previous years. With the great war at the turn of spring and summer, Sun Ce pushed the battle line to the territory of Yanzhou, and the people of Yuzhou gradually moved away from the threat of war. Although the epidemic at the turn of autumn and winter was menacing, with many deaths and many new graves, the government made every effort to treat the epidemic with an unprecedented positive attitude, so that the losses of this year's epidemic were far less than in previous years. Young people may not feel it, but the slightly older ones remember the two successive epidemics in the fifth year of Guanghe and the second year of Zhongping, compared to those two, this year's epidemic is already considered benevolent.

This is especially true for the people of Xuzhou and Yanzhou who fled to Yuzhou. Compared with the mobilization of the whole people in Yuzhou, the medical tents all over the country, the doctors and officials who went deep into the township to check the epidemic, and the timely supply of food and medicine, Yanzhou and Xuzhou seem to be careless and perfunctory.

Fewer and fewer people are dying, the disease is getting milder, and the hope is growing. Once people have hope, they have the strength to overcome difficulties, and people who have just experienced the pain of bereavement gradually wake up from their grief and support each other to move forward. There are many broken families who spontaneously reorganize to tide over difficulties together, and take advantage of the joy of the New Year to simply hold a ceremony to be considered married.

On the 28th day of the lunar month, the counties began to distribute relief materials, especially for the elderly and weak, and the people in each village drove carts to receive truckloads of grain, meat, and wine from the county, and distributed them to households in accordance with regulations. Orphans under the age of 13 and the elderly over the age of 60 shall each receive one stone of rice and two catties of meat, and two stones of rice and two catties of meat over the age of 70, and half a bucket of wine. Over 80 years old, three stones of rice, three catties of meat, and one bucket of wine. In addition, each person has a set of cotton clothes.

At the same time that the poor households received the education and relief, the craftsmen of the workshops and the officials of the government also began to distribute the money, receive the New Year's welfare, and prepare to go home for the New Year. In every street and alley, there are cars full of money, grain, wine and meat coming and going, everyone in front of and behind the car is smiling, even the coachman is smiling from ear to ear, and this batch of business at the end of the year can make them earn twice as much as usual, just like those craftsmen and officials pay an extra month's salary. In the aftermath of the pandemic, it is a great comfort for everyone to be able to have a prosperous New Year.

"You see, how forgetful they are." Yan Jian held two new books, carried a burden, looked at the happy pedestrians on the side of the road, and said with emotion: "It's only been more than a month, and few people remember the epidemic." ”

Zhuge Liang stood aside, also carrying a bag containing a few new clothes he had just bought from the clothing market. The new clothes were cheap, so cheap that he couldn't believe it, so he originally only wanted to buy one, but now he bought three at once. One winter coat and two jackets for spring and autumn.

"What's so bad about forgetting?" Zhuge Liang said lightly: "It is difficult to distinguish the truth of the past, even if it is true, it can only be used to recall." Just like childhood, no matter how beautiful it is, it is only in the past, people can't be a child forever, they always have to grow up. ”

Yan Jian glanced at Zhuge Liang. This is a bright and sensitive young man, young and lonely, and not long ago he has lost his uncle, who treated their brother like a son, and he has no one to rely on but himself. For him, there really is nothing to remember about his childhood. Yan Jian thought about it and changed the topic.

"When are you going to see General Sun?"

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly. "Wait a minute, General Sun has been very busy lately."

"You......" Yan Jian smacked his lips and stopped talking.
