Farewell to Yuan Shao, go south to the court, and then go north to Jinyang City. Zhang He was received by Chaoge, sent him a signature, and asked him to go north on his own.

"I'm here for a gift, what if I meet robbers or the like on the way?" ”

Zhang He said indifferently: "The people are well fed and clothed, who will be a robber." You just have to rest assured. ”

Frustrated, the general was suspicious, and it seemed that he was not brave to force the guards. So he went north alone.

Along the way, he saw people working in the fields in twos and threes, and there were many farm tools that he had never seen before. Instead of being gathered in the market, the merchants were scattered in the streets and alleys, selling along the way.

In the city, there are public signs, which record in detail every expenditure of the government and the specific income of officials.

Between the wine shops, there are storytellers. A stage was set up in the square, and some people were acting.

This was the first time he had seen theatre and storytelling. I couldn't help but stop and watch.

The vast majority of the people are well-fed, and they even have time to have fun.

Occasionally, one or two beggars can be seen lying lazily basking in the sun.

He dropped the two copper plates and asked, "Where are you from?" ”

The beggar raised his eyes and looked at the copper plate in the bowl and said, "Locals." ”

"Why did you end up here?"

"I'm lazy. Don't want to work. ”

"Thrift is the way to get rich."

"Anyway, there is relief every day, as long as you don't die of hunger."

Frustrated and shook his head, this kind of character, if he is given gold and silver, he will also become a beggar. "What do you think, Mrs. Guo?"

"I don't know anything else. Anyway, the officials don't beat people. ”

Frustrated, he said secretly: This is a song of the court, Mrs. Guo has been in charge here for a long time, and it is a façade, which is naturally good. Let's look elsewhere.

Along the way, go north and enter Taihang Mountain, and you can see a long construction team. Countless workers dug mountain roads under the unified command, expanding the scope of the Taihang Eight Paths.

Seeing that they were talking and laughing freely when they were off work, he stepped forward and asked, "How long are you going to serve?" ”

"All the way to completion."

was stunned, and sure enough, Guo Yi was just a person who worked hard and lost money. He asked, "How long will it take to chisel this vast Taihang Mountain?" ”

"Two years."

"With such hard labor, why can you still talk and laugh freely?"

"Make money."

The workers laughed and said, "We're all here to make money." You go and ask the foreman. He spent a lot of money to get the job. ”

According to the instructions, he found the contractor and inquired about the situation. These workers were not there to serve as conscripts. The state has abolished conscription! If the government wants to do something, it will issue official documents to recruit workers. The contractors led their teams to the bidding.

A worker's daily income is equivalent to that of a government official. For this group of people who have not read books, have little knowledge, and only have one strength, such treatment is simply a dream.

"Great! Amazing! "Riding a horse, it felt like a journey of preaching.

Within a few days, he figured out the question: Where does the money come from? Commerce!

Throughout the ages, the government has wanted to requisition the people's power, but they are only in charge of food and do not give money. This is called conscription.

Now that Guo Yijun has abolished forced labor, the income of the workers is comparable to that of the government officials, which requires huge financial expenditures.

If you change it now, any prince can't afford it!

But Guo Yijun can! Merchants walked the streets and alleys, provided food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and earned back the money earned by the workers. Taxes are then collected from merchants. As long as this consumption ring can be maintained, the government will no longer be short of money.

Can it be maintained? Yes!

People are after the appetite of the mouth. These workers have become accustomed to white rice every day, and they will no longer eat bran. Only going the extra mile to make money.

Merchants will also adapt to their needs, offer more products, and make more money.

The government will be able to collect more tax revenue and invest in more projects.

But another question popped up in his mind: Where did the copper, gold, and silver come from?

Each time the consumption cycle is completed, the demand for money will further increase. Unless there is a gold mine, it will not be sustained.

It wasn't until he entered Jinyang that he suddenly realized.

Bank! Paper money!

Instead of going to see Guo Yi, he spent two days in the city to get to know this unheard of institution!

Relying on the credibility of the government, paper currency is issued, the scientific name is "fiat currency". Rely on special paper prescribed by legal authority as a common currency.

People keep their money in banks to earn interest and security. Banks take the money and lend it to merchants. The merchant expands production and then pays it back with interest.

How to prevent businessmen from buying land? This is a serious problem. Almost all businessmen buy land when they get rich.

Guo Yijun's plan is to restrict land use.

A specific plot of land can only have a specific purpose. At the same time, private trading of land is prohibited. Merchants can only set up "companies" to acquire and operate land. The content of the business is also specified by the "Industrial and Commercial Bureau".

As a result, businessmen with a large number of farmlands have become "agricultural companies" under the supervision of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, concentrating manpower and technology on production and increasing grain production. On the one hand, it solves the problem of workers' employment, and on the other hand, it provides a clear taxing entity for the government.

Will the people rebel if they have no land? No! If you don't have enough to eat!

In the past, when people lost their land, they starved to death. Not anymore, the development of industry and commerce turned the peasants into workers. The people have money to earn, and their lives are better than before, and they can eat meat once a week. Looking at the world, life is the best here, who will rebel?

Frustrated with a sigh, "Shi Ye! Luck also! ”

In times of peace, I am afraid that none of these policies will be implemented. But in troubled times, warlords can enforce by force. The people are also willing to accept various new policies for the sake of a mouthful of food.

Packed up his mood, took Yuan Shao's gift, and finally went to see Guo Yi.

This young man who has just been weakly crowned, from a hunter, to now cross-state and county-wide, dominates the party, and is supported by the people. The rise of this legend alone is enough to write a special book.

"How do you feel about the trip to various parts of the state?"

He sighed, "Looking at the world, no one can match. ”

Guo Yi laughed and asked, "What gift did Brother Ben Chu give?" ”

"Su Wen Taifu likes poetry and painting, so he sent a painting."

Guo Yi took it and looked at it. Before the Wei and Jin dynasties, the development of art in China was very slow and unconscious. Painters and calligraphers are not universally recognized by society. Scholars don't go out of their way to improve their talents in this area.

But this one sent by Yuan Shao has begun to develop in the direction of ink painting, and it has some charm.

"Thank you for the gift."

Guo Yi accepted the gift with a smile and asked, "Mr. Gaocai, are you willing to stay in Bingzhou and serve me?" ”

He declined and said, "Duke Yuan sent me to visit to express his gratitude, and he is convinced that Taifu is a human being and will not use extraordinary means. ”

"Okay." Guo Yi smiled indifferently and said, "In this way, Mr. and I will travel together for a few days to see the scenery of various places." ”

Frustrated: "Taifu has a good governance, and the people have enough food and clothing, thinking that they are exemplary in the world." I have been delayed for many days along the way, and the gift has already been delivered, so it is inconvenient to stay for a long time. ”

Guo Yi didn't say more, "Congratulations to Mr. As long as Mr. is willing to vote, my door will always be open for Mr. ”

For the time being, he made peace with the princes of Shandong. You can free up your hands to develop internal affairs. It is necessary to build the prototype of the country in the annexation of states.

During the period when Guo Yi was paralyzed, all departments operated freely. There was a certain degree of self-improvement. Guo Yi's powers were delegated, and his official duties were reduced accordingly.

As night falls, the day's work ends. The maid brought the plate and asked him to turn over the cards.

Guo Yi took one at random, it was Bian Linglong.

Soak in a mare's milk bath to melt away the tiredness. Not long after, Bian Linglong, who was only wearing a transparent tulle, came. The maids waited until Bian Linglong walked into the bath and set up a stick of incense in the house, "General, please pay attention to the time." ”

"Well, step aside."

The incense burns for about thirty minutes, which is the time limit for him to bathe with his concubines. As soon as the time comes, the water in the bath will be empty. The maids would come in and urge him to leave quickly and go to bed. Of course, there is also a time limit for sexual intercourse, only the time for three incense sticks.

The total time spent on the entire bed should not exceed five incense sticks, that is, two and a half hours. When the time came, the maid would remind her first, and if she didn't listen to the shouting three times, she would start beating gongs and drums, and the noise would be unpeaceful. If you delay any longer, you have to ask Mrs. Masamurai and Shoufu to persuade you. If you don't listen to it, you will gather all the civil and military officials to see the Spring Palace on the spot.

This set of rules was formulated by He Wan. The purpose is to limit Guo Yi's time in bed and avoid overindulgence. At the same time, it is also to ensure the quality of sperm, so that the rain and dew can be evenly wet, and the chance of conception can be improved.

Only one person can be free from time constraints, Cai Yan. She is the lady of the main palace, she has the right to cancel the sign for the night, and she can also spend her time freely, and she does not need to be stripped and washed before going to bed, and check whether there is a murder weapon.

This process is very cumbersome, and for people like Guo Yi who have some romantic feelings, the process of sleeping has no emotional communication and has become a routine. It's really distressing!

But he couldn't stop Cai Yan from implementing it, so he had to agree. It was agreed that as long as a son was born, the system would be relaxed.

Seeing that the third pillar of incense was about to burn out, Guo Yi still lasted for a long time, and he couldn't care about the aftertaste, so he hurriedly finished the matter. The maid fish outside rushed in, draped Bian Linglong with a silk blanket, and carried her out.

Afterwards, Guo Yi wiped his body clean and went to another clean and tidy bed to rest. The bedding immediately took away the quilts, mattresses and other things. Just in case he had a whim, and the others were lucky.

"Grandma's, hurry up and get pregnant with one!" Guo Yi lay on the bed, looking at the moonlight and the starry sky outside the window. Who would have thought that having children would be so troublesome.

Bian returned to his dormitory with a smile on his face. This is not because of the rejoicing in the bed, but just got the news from Guo Yi: Cao Ang is dead! Mrs. Ding also divorced Cao Cao and returned to her parents' home. In this way, Cao Pi became the eldest son. As long as she returns to Cao Cao's side, with her posture and means, her mother and son are expensive, and it is not a problem to seize the position of the main palace!

It's really what you want to do. The next day, Guo Yi received a letter from Cao Cao. Send 10,000 humilets, 500 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of silver, and 100,000 copper coins to redeem Cao Pi and Cao Zhang. didn't say a word about Bian Linglong.

Guo Yi was also generous and wrote a manuscript, saying that only mothers are good in the world, and children with mothers are like treasures. Although Cao Cao ignored the deep love between mother and son, he abandoned Bian Linglong. But I still have to be ethical and moral. Let Bian Linglong take 10,000 Hugu and return to Cao Cao with her two sons. In case Cao Cao doesn't allow her, this 10,000 Huhu millet can make her live a worry-free life!

As soon as Bian Linglong came out of Jinyang, this manuscript had already spread all over the world with the "Bingzhou Times".

Seeing this manuscript, Bian Linglong certainly understood the meaning. Guo Yi just wanted to disgust Cao Cao. I slept with your woman, and you still have to be honest and green hat. Otherwise, you have no morality, no humanity, and no humanity! After she returned to Cao Cao's side, she didn't dare to think about what would happen.

But she doesn't have to worry about it anymore. She had something even more terrifying to worry about. Her menstrual affair didn't come!

Since escaping from Luoyang, he was rescued by Guo Yi. Under scientific medical and health conditions, her menstrual affairs are very regular. Today is the time for menstruation, but there is no response. In the last seven days, she has slept twice. It is the most sleeping of all concubines!

Thinking about the days, she is likely to be pregnant!

"Don't worry. I will definitely persuade Dad to keep you. Where did Cao Pi understand these things, he looked at his mother's sad face, and thought he was worried that he would be abandoned.

"Okay." Bian Linglong squeezed out a smile in front of her, and she was very anxious. Secret Dao: In any case, you must sleep with Meng De on the first night you go back, otherwise this matter will not be able to cover up.

A day later, in Hakuba County. Cao Cao was here to greet him personally. He naturally didn't have a good face for Bian Linglong. But Cao Pi persuaded him, and there were 10,000 grains, so he stayed.

In terms of beauty, Bian Linglong is naturally the most beautiful among Cao Cao's many concubines. is also the one who understands women's sexiness and temptation best.

Although Cao Cao has anger in his heart, his color heart is even stronger. Seeing Bian Linglong's crisp breasts half-exposed, with all kinds of styles, where can I take care of so much. Hurry into the camp and have a fierce battle.

It wasn't until she felt that Cao Cao was venting the sun in her body that Bian Linglong breathed a sigh of relief. Cao Cao was fighting outside all the year round, and Mrs. Ding was no longer there. This is less than ten days of time difference, she can hold it!

Losing Bian Linglong, such a charming stunner, is Guo Yi sad? Not at all! He was jumping for joy!

Yan Hua! Pregnant!

She was practicing swords as usual, but she suddenly became nauseous and almost injured herself. But I retched for a long time, and I didn't vomit anything. She immediately reacted that she was pregnant!

Hurry up to a doctor and diagnose it first. "Madam, congratulations!"

When Yan Hua walked out of the medical hall, Guo Yi had already heard the news and rushed over, hugged her in his arms, and kissed her endlessly. "Baby, I'm going to be a dad!!"

"Got it! Got it! Being hugged and hugged by him like this in front of so many people, Yan Hua's face really couldn't hold it.

"Someone! Set up a separate courtyard for Mrs. and take good care of your body! ”

Guo Yi's expression became serious, and his tone was unquestionable! This is his first child, and there must be no room for error! Yan Hua may feel that she has a great relationship with her sisters, and Guo Yi also hopes that they really have sisterhood!

However, he always remembered the saying: women and children can be careless, but men can't!

It is necessary to take precautions and do a good job in safety. If something really happens, there is no way to regret it. What's more, neither he nor Yan Hua can afford this kind of pain!
