"Stressing faith and cultivating harmony is said to be beneficial to people. Fighting for each other is called human suffering. Therefore, the reason why the saint treats people with seven emotions and cultivates ten righteousness. Talk about faith and harmony, still give in, go to fight, how can the sacrifice be governed. Eating and drinking, men and women, the great desire of people to survive. Death and poverty, the great evil of man remains. Therefore, those who desire evil have the great end of their hearts. People hide their hearts, and they are unfathomable. Beauty and evil are all in their hearts, and they are not seen in their colors. If you want to be poor, how can you give gifts? ”

Under the shade of the idle garden, a seven or eight-year-old girl held a bamboo slip in her hand, and the sound of reading aloud came out, and in front of the stone table, another twelve or thirteen-year-old girl was also holding a bamboo slip, but her delicate and lovely face could not lift a trace of spirit.

"Fifth sister, don't read it, my sister is about to suffocate to death." Zhen Rong lay in front of the stone table without the slightest ladylike consciousness, and his two graceful and slender long legs swayed and kicked at will.

Zhen Mi, who was holding the "Book of Rites" on the side, came to Zhen Rong's side with an indifferent tone.

"My mother said that I should let my sister cultivate herself and cultivate her surname, and she can't indulge and have fun anymore."

Zhen Rong flattened his mouth, sat up and held Zhen Mi's pink little face with both hands, and rubbed it all the time.

"I'm a sister, you're a sister, my mother is here, I listen to my mother, and when my mother is away, you have to listen to my sister."

Zhen Mi's face was constantly deformed, and she wanted to cry without tears.

"Fourth sister, if you let me go, if you are seen, you will laugh at the Zhen family."

Zhen Rong not only confiscated, but also intensified and kneaded more vigorously.

"Who dares to laugh, who dares to laugh, the eldest brother-in-law is the biggest, and with the support of my brother-in-law, I am not afraid of anyone."

Zhen Rong was hit on the back of the head, and the voice was quite loud, but the actual person didn't use his strength.

Zhen Mi's face was squeezed by Zhen Rong's palms, her mouth was protruding, and she could faintly see the little lilac between the two rows of teeth, looking at the person behind Zhen Rong with wide eyes in disbelief.

This funny appearance obviously made people laugh, and tears welled up from the corners of Zhen Mi's eyes.

Why is there always such a humiliating appearance in front of him?

Obviously, Zhen Rong hadn't been taught much by his elders, he was slapped on the back of the head, he was stupid, he turned his head with a dull expression, raised his face to look at the person standing behind him, and stammered and asked, "Sister, brother-in-law?" How did you get here? Miss me? You, why are you hitting me? ”

Guo Jia pinched Zhen Rong's face and pulled it, leaned over and asked with a smile, "That's how you treat your sister?" ”

With the wind leaking from his mouth, Zhen Rong's hands finally left Zhen Mi's cheeks, covering Guo Jia's hands and asking him to lighten up.

"Brother-in-law, it hurts, it hurts."

Guo Jia let go of his hand, Zhen Rong rubbed half of his face, glared at Guo Jia angrily, Zhen Mi also covered his face, and saluted Guo Jia and said, "I've seen my brother-in-law." ”

Walking over and stroking Zhen Mi's head with one hand, Guo Jia asked, "Does she usually bully you?" ”

Zhen Mi's face was blushing, and she glanced at Zhen Rong, who was constantly giving her a little threatening look, and shook her head slightly.

"Hey, Rong'er, you are really the little bully of the Zhen family, what did you do to bully your sister? When you were young, why didn't I see that you had the potential to be a wicked woman? ”

After sitting down, Guo Jia pulled Zhen Mi in front of him and asked her to open her mouth to see if there were any traces of teeth rubbing against her mouth, Zhen Mi closed her eyes and blushed like fire.

"Brother-in-law, you are partial. My face is swollen, swollen, look, look. ”

Zhen Rong also came over and pointed to the half of his face that had been pinched by Guo Jia.

After using a little effort, Guo Jia knew in his heart that Zhen Rong's face was as good as ever, and if he looked closely, it was also white and red, smooth and clean.

"Mi'er, if she bullies you in the future, your mother doesn't care, you can come to my house to find me, and I will teach her a lesson."

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Zhen Mi nodded, glanced at Zhen Rong next to him who was so aggrieved that he wanted to cry, and hurriedly said: "The fourth sister treated me very well, she didn't bully me, no." ”

I didn't expect that in Zhen's family, Zhen Rong's majesty was not small, Guo Jia scraped the bridge of Zhen Mi's nose and said, "You go and help me see what your eldest brother is doing, I already asked my subordinates to report when I entered the mansion, but now he hasn't come over yet, you go and take a look." ”

Zhen Mi took the errand and saluted Guo Jia in a proper manner, and then left steadily.

Zhen Rong, who was silently crying with a flat mouth, waited for Zhen Mi to leave, threw himself in front of Guo Jia, cried loudly, and sobbed: "Brother-in-law doesn't hurt Rong'er." ”

I didn't know that she was pretending to win sympathy, and reached out to make a burst on her head, Guo Jia raised his face and said: "Don't cry, your trick was okay a few years ago, but now it doesn't work." ”

In the past, as long as she cried, Guo Jia completely surrendered, but now, it doesn't work.

Zhen Rong is still crying, crying really sadly, it is estimated that eighty percent is sad because there is no way to subdue Guo Jia.

After a while, Guo Jia didn't care about her, let her cry enough, Zhen Rong saw that Guo Jia was really indifferent, and instantly put away his tears, pitifully pinched Guo Jia's cuffs, and shook them gently.

This cry was not sympathetic, and the delicate offensive was used instead.

Sighing helplessly, Guo Jia saw her aggrieved and delicate expression, and said: "Rong'er, you are not young anymore, you can't mess around all day, your sister often tells me that the Zhen family is made by you to be a chicken, a dog jumping, said restless, a few days ago you also used a pen on Jin'er's face to point a lot of black spots, so scared that your sister thought that Jin'er had a strange disease, and almost didn't pass out." ”

Zhen Rong hung her head down, looking like she was listening to the teaching, when she mentioned the trick on Guo Jin, she was also very guilty, just playful, she didn't expect the consequences to be so serious, Zhen Jiang's son born in October was regarded as a treasure, how could she afford Zhen Rong to mess around like this?

"Okay, you can change your mistakes, you have time to learn from your fifth sister, you are knowledgeable, quiet and steady. Oops, why are you crying again? ”

Zhen Rong cried from the bottom of his heart this time, heartbroken.

"Brother-in-law, I hate Rong'er, I won't like Rong'er anymore, woo woo ......"

Tears fell down like pearls with broken threads, and Zhen Rong lowered his head, making Guo Jia feel distressed when he looked at it.

Raising his hand to wipe away her tears, Guo Jia comforted: "Don't think nonsense, how can my brother-in-law not like you?" No matter what you do wrong, your brother-in-law will like you as always. ”

Zhen Rong burst into tears, raised his head and looked at Guo Jia suspiciously, and asked, "Really?" ”

Guo Jia nodded seriously.

Zhen Rong was still suspicious and said, "Brother-in-law hasn't hugged Rong'er for a long time." ”

And that's not because you've grown up!

Now Zhen Rong's chest is also slightly raised, although the yuan has not yet reached the point of turbulence, but it has begun to take shape.

Stretching out his hands and hugging her into his arms, Guo Jia gently stroked her back.

Feeling Guo Jia's gentleness again after a long absence, Zhen Rong's sobbing gradually stopped, and a touching smile rose at the corner of his mouth.

Zhen Yu, who was outside the court, had already arrived, but when he saw the scene of Guo Jia and Zhen Rong, he could only avoid it first, and secretly called it a fluke in his heart: Fortunately, the second sister and the third sister went to Taoyuan Village to play, otherwise this scene may be difficult to clean up.

After staying in Guo Jia's arms for a long time, Zhen Rong returned to the room under Guo Jia's urging, and Zhen Yu also entered the courtyard after a while.

"Envoy, oh, Fengxiao, I don't know what happened today?"

Zhen Yu is not Guo Jia's subordinate, and it is a scene to call him an envoy, but Guo Jia prefers that Zhen Yu will still call him a friend.

Guo Jia stretched out his hand and invited Zhen Yao to sit down, the two sat at the stone table under the tree, Guo Jia said straight to the point: "I came this time to discuss with my brother, I want to establish a chamber of commerce in Yizhou, so that merchants can join the chamber of commerce, form an alliance, do business together, make money together, policy, I can reduce business taxes, but the chamber of commerce should be a help when Yizhou government has a need." ”

Zhen Yu's eyes lit up, Guo Jia's proposal was very novel, they were hostile to each other in the past, suppressing competition, there may be a situation of oversupply in the world when the world is peaceful, the battle between merchants was extremely cruel at that time, now the world is in chaos, the soldiers are in chaos everywhere, the business is not good, and some merchants who go south and north have broken off the idea of going to other places to do business.

Doing business, Guo Jia is not an insider, and few officials in Yizhou Mansion dare to get an axe in front of Zhen Yu, so Guo Jia came to discuss this matter with Zhen Yu, the Zhen family is now only doing some small business in Chengdu, and also helped Guo Jia sell the finished Shu brocade products woven by the people of Taoyuan Village to Jingzhou, no matter how far away the area, he did not dare to explore the way, Jingzhou under the governance of Liu Biao, can be regarded as peaceful, so that the merchants in Yizhou dare to go back and forth between the two places, and in the north of Guanzhong, the merchants regard it as a forbidden area, and dare to take the goods to Guanzhong to sell? It's the same as asking for your own death.

With the passage of time, the people of Yizhou gradually became richer, consumer demand was also growing, and the foundation for business prosperity was established.

In recent years, there have been many reports of Chinese people coming to Yizhou to buy grain, and officials in various parts of Yizhou have posted notices informing the people that bartering is okay, but if they pay for it, it is not possible.

Why? Because Dong Zhuo minted a large number of inferior five-baht coins after moving the capital to Chang'an, causing prices in Guanzhong to soar, and Guanzhong merchants came to Yizhou with inferior five-baht coins to buy food and materials, obviously the interests of the people of Yizhou were infringed, so Yizhou did not recognize the five-baht coins issued by Dong Zhuo under Guo Jia's decree, even if it was more troublesome to barter, it was better than suffering.

The benefits of salt and iron are sufficient to meet the needs of the military.

Some of the most basic commodities are controlled by the government, which Guo Jia will not open at any time.

The establishment of the chamber of commerce is because the purchasing power of the government is insufficient, and the people want to exchange the surplus grain for other commodities needed for life, so they have to exchange it for merchants, and the chamber of commerce manages it as a whole, and when Guo Jia needs the necessary materials, he can also quickly buy them from the chamber of commerce.

This is a measure to create a win-win situation, Guo Jia provides a stable environment for businessmen, provides convenient preferential policies, businessmen do their duty, don't think about making a fortune.

Now that business is difficult to do, Guo Jia as a warlord to open up financial routes for businessmen, if there are still people who do not know the current affairs, they can only say that he is not qualified as a businessman, businessmen seek profits, Guo Jia built a chamber of commerce, and has preferential policies, and can also use the army to escort the chamber of commerce, under the profit, why should the merchants in Yizhou refuse?
