Chapter 10 Plans can't keep up with changes
Gao Ye, who came back from Xuchang, looked at Guo Jia who was snorting and tearing in front of him, and the whole person was stunned, he had lived with Guo Jia for so many years, and he had never seen Guo Jia so gaffe, but he just went home, what happened?
Listening to Guo Jia's intermittent narration, Gao Ye realized that not only did he know the bad news of the death of his parents in a very short period of time, especially his mother, who died so miserably that he couldn't bear to read it, and he even let his eldest brother drive him out of the house! No, it was after he knew that his eldest brother treated his mother so cruelly, he resolutely gave up his identity as a Yang Zhai Guo family and left the Guo family.

No wonder the history books of later generations will record that Guo Jia is a son of a poor family, because he gave up his identity as a member of the Yingchuan clan. I'm afraid that there are very few people who know about this, otherwise this one will definitely stay in the history books, especially Guo Jia is so famous, as for who Guo Yi is? I'm sorry, but I don't even know that I'm a person who is proficient in the Three Kingdoms, so I guess I'm just a soy sauce player.
I only heard Guo Jia sobbing intermittently: "Big brother, I want to take revenge for this, is it okay?" ”
"This, you want revenge? Have you thought about it, this is the family business created by the ancestors of your Guo family for generations, do you really want to take revenge? Gao Ye couldn't help asking.
"He Guo Yi dares to do this to me, to my mother, I Guo Jia is no longer Yang Zhai Guo Jia's son, I must take revenge, it's just that it won't spoil your plan, big brother, right?"
"My plan is not tight, I am now friendly with the Xun family, the Chen family, and the Zhong family, as for a Guo family that is about to decline, I really don't care too much."
Guo Jia couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said: "You said before that you wanted to unite the four great families, I didn't agree, at that time your attitude was so tough, I decided to help you try the Guo family, you are becoming too fast now." ”
"Uniting the four great families is the most beneficial thing for us now, so naturally we have to do it, but since you are being bullied by the Guo family now, then we can't sit still." Gao Ye laughed and said: "You are my younger brother, and my brother was bullied and didn't get it back, is it still me Gao Mingxi." ”
"But isn't that really going to ruin your plans?" Guo Jia's crying has basically stopped, and now he wants to know what Gao Ye wants to do now.
"Fengxiao, let me ask you, from a political point of view, what kind of situation do you say Yingchuan is now?" Gao Ye asked his subordinates to come over to those drinks and dishes, and then asked Guo Jia such a question. Guo Jia has been crying for so long, it is estimated that he should be hungry, and it is only right to get some food for the two of them to chat while eating.
"From a political point of view? Now Yingchuan has four major families, although Zhong Xuan and Xun Shuang are now at home, but they have a great reputation. As for the government, most of the officials are the children of various small families, but these small families often get together, and finally we outsiders. Among these three forces, the four major families should be the strongest, the small families are second, and we are the weakest. But it is precisely because of this that I can't understand that if you want to seize the actual control of Yingchuan, it is only right that you should unite with the small family and suppress the four major families. ”
"Haha, you also said that the four major families of Zhong, Xun, Chen, and Guo are huge, and the Guo family will not mention it for the time being, and the heads of the remaining three families are all famous and famous people, and their power is far greater than that of us and those small families. If I suppress them as soon as I come, believe me, it won't be too bad to be a car with the mantis arm. ”
"That's right, even if we unite all the small families, I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete with them. Their reputation is too big, just say a few bad things about you, big brother, and your reputation will stink, and when the time comes, you will cheapen those small families for nothing. ”
"That's right, so it's better to hug this big thick leg first." Gao Ye said with a smile, at this time, Ying'er brought food in, and Gao Ye motioned for Guo Jia to eat some. Since Gao Ye has Ying'er by her side, these jobs that originally belonged to the old housekeeper have been taken care of by her. Even Guo Jia and Zhao Yun saw Gao Ye's maid after seeing Gao Ye's maid, Gao Ye saw a look of envy on their faces. I can't say, shouldn't I also find them a few personal maids?
Gao Ye watched Guo Jia gobble up, and couldn't help laughing: "Eat slowly, don't choke." ”
"I've been hungry for a day, big brother, don't divert the topic, you said that you want to hug the thick legs of the four major families, and deal with those small families first, but these four major families are even more difficult to deal with." Aren't you afraid that you will become their puppet when the time comes? ”
"Haha, in fact, I would like to thank Cai Yong Cai and everyone, without him, it would be difficult for me to make friends with these big clans when I came to Yingchuan, if I was worried about them becoming bigger, I wouldn't have given them so many benefits. Do you think that my eldest brother is just blindly currying favor with them now, and I have no real benefits? ”
"Huh? You're selling land and borrowing books, and I don't see any benefit. ”
"Don't forget, who helped me raise your eldest brother's reputation now. I owe this great reputation to them. Besides, I asked Gao Shun to take charge of all the soldiers and horses in Yingchuan, and from time to time I also sent meat to these 3,000 soldiers, for what? In order to completely control the army of Yingchuan. And we've just moved here, and if we want stability, if we want to take root, what do we need? It's time. As long as we have time, we can completely gain a foothold here, do we still need to be afraid of these families? Fengxiao, don't forget that I taught you that power comes out of the barrel of a gun! ”
Gao Ye's words made Guo Jia suddenly brighten up, and laughed: "I see! No wonder you often go to visit Xun Shuang now and talk to him, just to reassure him and let him help you well. You also let those boys follow Xun Yu to Tuntian together, this is to plan for being placed in various important positions in the future. Brother Xunzhi's training is first-class, and you are quite kind to these soldiers, otherwise in a year or two, this Yingchuan will be like an iron fight, and even if Xun Shuang and they know that you are full-fledged, it will be difficult to deal with you. ”
"Yes, exactly. I deliberately asked the jailers to spread the news that the Yellow Turbans were going to be beheaded, but in the end I personally ordered them to go to Tuntian, Yingchuan, the current people are only 100,000, I almost have the virtue of regeneration for these 40,000 Yellow Turbans, this year's work may be more, not only to Tuntian, but also to build a city, but as long as you can manage it, they are absolutely grateful. After a year or two, let them have their own farmland and give them household registration, do you think they will not support me? At that time, no matter how unwilling these families are, I will be the real person in Yingchuan County. ”
"Haha, I know that you have a plan, eldest brother, what you said is right, what we need most now is time, but in this case, I can't be in a hurry to retaliate against Guo Yi's guy, what if I provoke him, and even other families have opinions about us?"
"I remember that my county Cheng Guo Yu is also a side branch of your Guo family?" Gao Ye suddenly asked.
"Yes, he separated from my grandfather from his grandfather's generation, but he used to move around a lot. Why did the eldest brother suddenly ask about him. ”
"This Guo Yu, originally Yingchuan County, I think he still has some ability, when I came, among the civil and military officials, the civil officials only had no Taishou, and the only two captains in Yingyin City were killed, don't you think it's strange? This Taishou is dead, and it is very likely that he, the county prince, will take over, and he will also take advantage of the situation to control Yingyin's army, and the plotter is great. As soon as I came, not only did he lose the hope of succeeding Taishou, but also took the military power back from him, and the land sale made him a trick, and he must have hated me very much in his heart. Gao Ye said thoughtfully, "You said that he and your brother ...... again."
"He's not my brother!" Guo Jia didn't even swallow the dish, so he grabbed it vaguely.
"Okay, well, he Guo Yu and Guo Yi often have dealings, Guo Yi already has a grudge against you, and you kidnapped his housekeeper again, I see, his hatred for you is also very deep, even if we don't go to the Guo family's trouble, the two of them will also want to trouble us. I don't know what Guo Yi is like, but this Guo Yu is quite uncontrollable, if you want to take revenge, I think you still have to make more fuss about Guo Yu. ”
"Guo Yu and my brother have separated, even if they can catch Guo Yu's handle, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with Guo Yi."
"Haha, you want to have a proper plan now, it's really hard for me to force your brother. But I can't say, when I came back today, I heard Xun Yu say that many families were quite dissatisfied with my Tuntian policy, and even many officials protested, saying that it was adding a huge workload to them or something, I think, maybe it was this Guo Yu who pushed it behind. ”
"I think they are just not satisfied with the fact that so much land and manpower are occupied by you alone, big brother."
"Yes, it does. Xun Yu expressed great concern about this, he believed that if this continued, he was afraid that these officials would be forced to resign, and the operation of the entire Yingchuan government would be paralyzed. ”
"But eldest brother, didn't you already have a plan, those boys have been studying with you for so many years, and it is no problem to do these low-level official positions, as for Zhu Cao, there are children of the Xun family, the Chen family, and the Zhong family, it should not be a problem."
"Yes, that's what I thought, too. If they resign en masse, it will save me a lot of trouble, otherwise I really don't know how to replace their position with my own people. ”
"I'm afraid they have some other tricks."
"If there is, there will be it, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. Don't worry about anything. You, think more about how you can catch that Guo Yu's handle. I still have to think about how to restore the economy of Yingchuan, food is scarce, and you can also tuntian, but the market is depressed, I don't know if I can attract the Zhen family in Hebei, the Su family in Zhongshan, and the elk family in Xuzhou. ”
"I just want to grasp the handle, there are no possible conditions, although they don't have any great talent, but they are by no means general, how can they be so easy to show flaws?"
"You, this kind of thing, grab it when you have a chance, and create a chance to seize it if you don't have a chance! You have studied with Master and me for so many years, how can you even forget such a simple truth! Penalties! Punish you for not drinking for ten years, go back and give me a good introspection! ”
