Half a year has passed since Guo Jia was left behind.

It is now April 183 A.D. The people are now living in abundance, and they are singing praises to Chuxiong everywhere. Everyone also had a happy harvest year, and there was a lot of food at home.

Liu Bei also did a good job, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the displaced people were handled in an orderly manner. By now, the population of Zhuo County has increased by 100,000. Liu Bei is still indispensable.

When I went out today and looked at the wall of the tall city, this was repaired last year, and it was still the city wall of Zhuo County, which was not stingy compared to the city wall of a county.

And when I walked out into the streets of the city and saw the smiles on the faces of the people walking by one after another, my heavy heart was suddenly relieved.

The other two people, except Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, looked at me with great admiration.

It was really extraordinary that the lord could govern the city like this, and everyone thought in their hearts that they had never seen such a rich city.

And Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao looked proud, and Zhou Cang thought in his heart: "The lord is really powerful, knowing that Guo Jia is a great talent, he directly let him be an official at that time, and now I think of it when the lord asked him to find it, and now I think that the lord is really powerful."

I looked at the happy people around me, and I really wanted to meet the hero who governed this city, Guo Jia.

When I came to the gate of the palace, the soldier guarding the gate recognized me at a glance, so he ran over and knelt on the ground: "See the lord"

I didn't guard the door, I picked up the soldier and walked into the yamen, and the others followed.

The people in the distance saw it and were puzzled, so they asked the people next to them: "Who is this young fat boy, those soldiers are usually not recognized by their six relatives, so they will bow down to that son" and the person on the side also shook his head suspiciously, and it happened that a man selling steamed buns on the side heard it, and proudly said I know this son, so the two people who didn't know ran over and said a little flatteringly, you know that noble boy is like this.

The steamed bun seller said: "That fat boy bought steamed buns from me at the beginning, and ate a whole cage, that boy is our Lord Taishou Chu, Chu Xiong Chu Lingtian, the owner of the Xiongba Mountain Villa", and then said: "You two don't even know the great benefactor who gave you the field, you are really ignorant."

Hehe, Guo Jia's little kid has words, I naturally can't lag behind, and I also named myself "Ling Tian".

When Guo Jia governed Zhuo County, according to my instructions, he first ordered to exempt the people from taxes for one year, and then collected low business taxes, so Zhuo County has today's glory, due to the reduction and exemption of taxes, many businessmen have come to Zhuo County to do business, which led to my Zhuo County's governance so prosperous, and Liu Bei also preached my governance philosophy everywhere to help me win the hearts of the people, so I have a great reputation in Zhuo County, but Guo Jia has no reputation.

Just when the man who sold steamed buns taught the two people ignorance, a businessman on the side interjected, and he said: "You little deflated three are embarrassed to say that Lord Chu bought steamed buns from you at the beginning, because you forgot to bring money, you humiliated Lord Chu, and you are still here to say that you know Chu to enter, it is really shameless."

Everyone was at a loss.

In the end, the merchant explained how Chu Xiong bought buns, how he was humiliated, and how he solved it in the end.

And I didn't know that my previous scandals and some good deeds had been spread all over Zhuo County, and people had different opinions, anyway, Chu Xiong wanted to be as famous as the sky in Zhuo County.

I came to the mansion with a familiar car, and I didn't see the busy Guo Jia, but saw the casual Guo Jia and the maid talking and laughing.

There's nothing strange about me, Zhuojun is just a small place, and it's not a gap between the teeth of the ghost Guo Jiana.

I didn't make a sound when I came in, but I was still seen by the sharp-eyed Guo Jia, and Guo Jia just lazily bent down to salute me: "Hello Lord Chu" I didn't care about Guo Jia's performance and said: "Fengxiao has been good lately" Guo Jia smiled and said: "Thank you Lord Chu for your concern, it's good to be here" I saw Guo Jia's faint expression, and thought to myself that Guo Jia would accept you today.

Although Guo Jia is a little arrogant, Guo Jia is not a fool or a pedantic person. Now Chu Xiong's official position is there, and Guo Jia is just a filial piety, and his official position is still a county official titled by others, if Guo Jia looks unreasonable again, he will definitely suffer.

I looked at Guo Jia and said, "Fengxiao, I took the liberty to visit, mainly because I plan to accept you this time." ”

Guo Jia smiled knowingly, he really wanted to convince me when he suddenly came today, I want to see what this fat man is capable of.

I sat down, and Guo Jia went straight to the point and said, "Lord Chu, I don't know what you are doing when you come to visit this time?" Guo Jia said that it was said to me, and Guo Jia's eyes looked at me.

I looked at Guo Jia looking directly at my gaze, but I didn't expect Guo Jia to ask again, so I said unceremoniously at the moment: "My intention, I have already said it just now, I don't know what to do with filial piety?" ”

Guo Jia secretly praised in his heart: Yes, he threw the question back again, and he was a little witty. However, we have to probe him. So Guo Jia continued to ask: "Chu Taishou's reputation is heard all over the world, I don't know where the adults are?" I don't know how adults fall in love with us? ”

Guo Jia's question made me think: yes, what do you want to do? In the past few days, I have actually thought about this question, but every time I just think of a vague idea, I am disturbed by something else. At this time, Guo Jia's question couldn't help but resonate in my heart.

What the hell do I want to do? My original wish was to have enough food and clothing and live a stable life as a rich man. But what did you do to survive in this troubled world? Recruit troops and horses, gather grass and stock up on grain. Now he has fulfilled the last wish of those who died for himself, to lead the living to make meritorious deeds.

But what are the criteria for meritorious service? Does it matter if you are like this now? And his current status is only an official of the Han Dynasty. According to the history he knows, the Han Dynasty will soon exist in name only. At that point, where do you go from here? Change the dynasty, become the emperor myself, and create a new situation for the ages, I really don't have that ambition, and I don't want to be burdened by that. But if he goes to the future three giants now, he won't scare them. Although Sun Quan himself hasn't seen it yet, Liu Bei himself can see it, with their current identity, they are not at the same level.

I thought about it, and suddenly, it dawned on me! Yes. Isn't it happy to live by yourself? It doesn't matter what others think or do. As long as you are happy, you can live in peace, and you don't care about the arrangements of God and others. Now that he has soldiers and territory, whoever wants to make himself unhappy can make him no better. Do it yourself at will, and be at peace with what you encounter, wouldn't you be happy!

I figured it out, and the doubts in my mind for many days were swept away. The mood is very cheerful, and even if I can receive Guo Jia, I don't care too much. I said happily: "My ambition is not high, I just hope that the world is peaceful, everyone lives better, more stable, as for Fengxiao, I have heard of it, Yingchuan ghost talent!" ”

After Guo Jia finished speaking in Chu Xiong, he secretly laughed in his heart that Chu Xiong was naïve, but he just thought about it. How do people who think like this do great things? And how is it worth following yourself?

However, according to his understanding in the past six months, Guo Jia was really puzzled. Guo Jia secretly wondered: Chu Xiong built the city privately, what does this Chu Xiong want? This is a rebellious crime of raiding the house and destroying the door! Moreover, he trained elite soldiers privately, practiced day and night, and several generals under his command had the courage to defend the city. I think he's coping with what the future holds.
