The door of the Qiao sisters' mansion slowly opened, and a delicate face poked out, and after seeing that it was Guo Jia, she lifted her vigilance and revealed surprise.

"The general is back, please, please."

Xiao Qiao, who was dressed in white and skirted, opened the door of the mansion, and insisted on opening both halves of the door to show respect, Guo Jia stopped her when he stepped into the door.

"Don't be busy, you know I don't care about these false courtesies, it's cold outside the house, let's hurry into the house."

Xiao Qiao smiled like a flower, Guo Jia said whatever he wanted, and walked back to the house with the corner of his skirt to inform his sister Guo Jia of the news of the door.

When he walked to the house and put Guo Ye down, he saw that Da Qiao looked a little haggard, Xiao Qiao also had a little tiredness, and the two sisters stood in front of them, a pair of beautiful people were peerless, and tears welled up in their autumn eyes.

couldn't help but say that he stepped forward and opened his arms to embrace the two of them, Guo Jia gently hugged them, the fragrance was fragrant, and the nephrite was in his arms, but he had no distractions, and said softly in a low voice: "Jia is guilty of a lot of sin, let you follow me to be frightened and put yourself in danger." ”

With tears in his eyes, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao shook their heads silently, and were hugged by Guo Jia in their arms at the moment, although Guo Jia didn't exert his strength, both of them seemed to be a little out of breath, but they didn't have the slightest idea of breaking free.

Standing on top of the Chengdu city tower towards the rebels, are the two daughters afraid? Fear! Ever thought about holding back? No!

Now when Guo Jia comes back, everything is worth it.

As soon as the body withdrew, Guo Jia put both hands on the faces of the two sisters, wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes with his fingertips, and smiled gently: "Your tears are more distressing and uncomfortable than a sword slashing on me, cry again?" You might as well just stab me to death with a sword. ”

Flutter

The two sisters burst into tears and laughed together, and felt that their faces must not look good at this time, so they turned around together and wiped their tears.

Guo Jia didn't bother them to turn their backs to tidy up their appearance, and knelt down in the seats in the room at will, Guo Ye did the same, and also knelt down beside him, looking focused but always secretly glancing at Guo Jia.

After the two girls wiped away their tears, they turned around and saw Guo Jia sitting in the guest seat, wanting to invite him to the main seat, Guo Jia waved his hand and said with a smile: "Family, don't mind the vulgar etiquette." After coming to Chengdu, are you still satisfied? If there is something wrong in my daily life, it is my fault, my fault. ”

The two sisters smiled gently, shook their heads in unison, Xiao Qiao seemed to remember something, ran to the inner room and took a small dress out, came to Guo Ye to compare, and then handed it to Guo Jia and said, "This is a winter coat made for Ye'er, and I don't know if it fits." ”

After Guo Jia took it, he unfolded the blue silk shirt, turned around and asked Guo Ye to stand up, and put it on for him personally, smoothing the edges, and it just fitted.

But Guo Jia smiled bitterly at the second daughter: "Children's clothes, don't bother, this stitch and thread are your mind, but he is growing up, and it is estimated that he will not be able to wear it next year, in the future, don't bother with him, at a young age, food and clothing are not worried, I am really afraid that he will be spoiled, and in the future, he will be a loser." ”

Guo Ye couldn't understand Guo Jia's words, put on new clothes and learned to sit down on Guo Jia's knees, his expression was always very serious.

The two daughters who covered their mouths and smiled didn't answer Guo Jia's words, they all knew that although Cai Yan also spoiled Guo Ye, he could discipline him strictly, but whenever Guo Ye was messing around, he really had to teach Guo Ye a ruthless lesson.

Chatting about trivial matters, describing friendship, and laughter in the house, Guo Jia also felt the ease and happiness of ordinary people that he had not felt for a long time here.

Refusing Xiao Qiao's good intentions to cook for him, Guo Jia was about to leave, but just as he was about to leave, Da Qiao looked embarrassed, as if there was something unspeakable.

Guo Jia noticed that her expression was different, and she asked, but Da Qiao wanted to speak and stopped, and in the end, it was Xiao Qiao who solved Guo Jia's doubts.

"General, my sister and I want to ask you for one thing, please the general must promise our sisters."

Guo Jia, whose expression was a little surprised, suppressed his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Xiao Qiao, even though you and Da Qiao are beautiful women in the country, you can't use beauty tricks to make me confused, so I will accept you first, or you talk about things first, and then I will consider whether to agree." ”

Xiao Qiao glared at Guo Jia with a red face and said, "General, you, you, when did my sister and I use beauty tricks?" ”

Guo Jia winked at her, saw her shy but stubborn expression, and smiled: "It's now." Don't you know that the way you are now is enough to overwhelm the men of the world? ”

Xiao Qiao, who felt teased, turned his face away, and said in a muffled voice: "The general is insulting Sven, hmph, my sister and I hope that you can properly settle the relatives of the fallen soldiers who have become orphans and widows, and you must agree to this matter." ”

After Xiao Qiao's words were finished, Guo Jia put away his joking mentality, his expression was a little heavy, and he fell into deep thought.

Seeing Guo Jia's expression, he thought he was angry, and Da Qiao hurriedly said to Guo Jia: "General, Xiao Qiao is not sensible and talks nonsense, don't worry about it." ”

Xiao Qiao thought that he was right, but when he saw Guo Jia's expressionless face, he also thought that his words had angered Guo Jia, so he refused to bow to Guo Jia with a face, and held back his tears so as not to fall.

Guo Jia raised his hand towards Da Qiao, and said with a solemn face: "Da Qiao, don't get me wrong, Xiao Qiao's words are right, I am duty-bound on this matter, among the fallen soldiers, there are indeed many families who have become helpless, maybe some bereavement pensions can allow them to tide over the difficulties temporarily, but it is not a long-term solution, I should think about how to settle them." ”

If the average person is an only son and has no heirs, he will not choose to join the army, because I am afraid that it will cut off the children and grandchildren, the so-called unfilial piety has three no queens, Confucianism advocates benevolence and filial piety to rule the world, the people of the Han Dynasty think so, but many people in the Taiping army are desperate, can only rebel, whether it is an only son or left orphans and widows, their families, after the pillars of the family fall, the future will become very difficult.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao witnessed the bloody battle outside Chengdu, although the fate of the rebels did not get the slightest sympathy, but there were also soldiers who died in the camp, they lost their lives for Guo Jia, no matter what, they should be given an explanation, a little money and food may be able to support their families for several years, but what about after a few years?

It is with this in mind that Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao hope that Guo Jia can agree to their proposal.

Seeing that Guo Jia was not angry, and did not blame them for meddling in official affairs, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were relieved, but the tears that Xiao Qiao held back just now fell, and complained to Guo Jia while wiping: "General, can't you suddenly look like you want to eat people?" Scared the hell out of me. ”

Guo Jia smiled boringly, but his expression was still a little serious, and he raised his eyes to Da Qiao and asked, "Since you have made such a suggestion, do you have a specific implementation plan?" I want to help them, but I can't let them live on help. ”

Aid is not the same as free raising, Guo Jia can provide protection policies and preferential convenience, but it is impossible to raise idlers, over time, this will become his burden, although Yizhou is large, but the economy is not developed, not as good as the Central Plains, not as good as the north, that is, because of the war in the north, the population of the north migrated to the south, so that the south brought advanced technology and accelerated the development of the economy, but in terms of foundation, Yizhou is still very weak, and every place must be carefully planned.

Pursuing an economic policy of opening up sources and reducing expenditure, Guo Jia is cautious about every expenditure.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao looked at each other and smiled, everything was gloomy, and when he turned his head to Guo Jiashi, his expression was solemn, and Da Qiao said: "General, you helped the refugees when you were in Yingchuan, and personally taught the poor children, and now the orphans of the fallen soldiers, you should also continue to open a school to teach them, this move can save the orphans from the pain of displacement, and become talents in the future, which is also a great help for the general." ”

Guo Jia listened intently, this made sense, and he had already made a plan, but he didn't discuss it with the strategists.

Why did the Yellow Turban Uprising fail? It's not that they are not strong, but that the leaders have no long-term vision, and Guo Jia is unwilling to assist Zhang Jiao, a big reason is here.

If there is no plan to train military and political talents, then this kind of civilian uprising will not go far, and the consequences they can create are only destruction! The general trend of the world, divided for a long time, must be united, and for a long time, it must be divided, in fact, it is chaotic for a long time, and it will be chaotic for a long time.

Taiping Dao does not have talents who can "govern", and there is no intention to cultivate such talents, so what they can do is to destroy the Han Dynasty, which has run out of energy, but there is no way to truly return the world to the ability of Taiping.

Cultivating talents, this is what Guo Jia has been doing a long time ago, and Xi Zhicai, Xu Shu, Zuo Ci, etc., to change the world, to create a new era, we need talents to be executors, and this policy and route, Guo Jia has always been a top priority.

For the orphans caused by the war, there is a plan, that is, to cultivate talents, as the successor talents of Guo Jia's reign.

"Da Qiao's words are very much to my heart, but what about the mothers of these children? Or sisters and elders and other female streamers, do you want them to go to the fields to farm? Guo Jia asked solemnly.

Da Qiao didn't say anything, let Xiao Qiao answer, Xiao Qiao had just cried, her eyes were slightly red, but she was very energetic, and said: "General, the reputation of Shu brocade has spread all over the world, and it is not difficult to learn and master this craft, if the general has the heart to settle orphans and widows, let them live together, weave and embroider Shu brocade, and the general will exchange money and food, wouldn't it be possible for them to support themselves?" ”

Guo Jia in contemplation showed a smile, this is a way, it is not impossible for women to go to the field to cultivate, but the efficiency must not be as good as that of men, not to mention that for them with heavy burdens, obviously the handicraft industry is still a little easier, Shu brocade is a luxury, it has been famous for a long time, bringing them together, not only can solve their livelihood, but also form a silk fabric production point, even if it only provides the necessary military supplies for the Taiping Army, they can have a considerable income.
