Chapter 493: Farming and Moving Bricks
"It's good to be stationed, so you don't have to run around." Diao Chan spoke.
"How naΓ―ve!" Guo Jia said suddenly.
"Huh?" Diao Chan was stunned, this was the first sentence she had found a rare opportunity to speak! Unexpectedly, he was ruthlessly denied by Guo Jia? !
"Doesn't the garrison really mean that you are idle, hey~~" Guo Jia shook his head and sighed, you must know that welcoming the Emperor is not as simple as going out to bring the Emperor back. First of all, where should we go? At this point, you don't have to think about it, Xu County, Guo Jia can guess it with his eyes closed.
But what about after deciding on Xu County? That's right, then it's time to build a palace for the emperor to live in! And Cao Cao and Xun Yu are still outside, so who should do this kind of thing to build the palace in advance?
Even if the task has not been arranged yet, you can think of it with your toes that such an important task can only fall on Guo Jia's head. Having said that, didn't Guo Jia be that kind of commonplace at the beginning, wasn't he specifically responsible for construction, so Guo Jia can be regarded as returning to his old job.
It is said that workers and peasants are not separated, so let Guo Jia, who is farming as a farmer, continue to move bricks and become a migrant worker, this kind of thing is reasonable!
It's a pity that such a good fat difference, even if the oil and water are very sufficient, Guo Jia doesn't dare to be greedy casually, after all, this is the future palace! Guo Jia really can't make money as casually as Wei Xiaobao.
"What? Is there anything important that you need to do? Cai Wenji couldn't help asking, these women can't think of going so far right away.
"That's ......," Guo Jia simply told everyone about the inference that the palace was going to be built.
After listening,
"Isn't it possible to come directly to Juancheng?" Zhu Rong couldn't help but ask.
"Where is it that simple." Guo Jia shook his head and said, although Zhu Rong has come to the Central Plains, it is not a short time. But I still don't know much about the customs of the Central Plains, "First of all. Feng Shui problem, Feng Shui is not good. There is no fixed capital at all. In addition, there are military, political, economic, and cultural considerations, which are not as simple as moving them over. Juancheng is not near the mountains, not near the water, and it is so far away from the original capital Luoyang. It is so close to Xuzhou, it is not our heartland at all, and it is impossible to choose this place to set the capital. Guo Jia analyzed.
"According to what you say, if you want to be near the mountains and rivers, but also in the heart of the hinterland, then there is only one part of your Yingchuan!" Cao Xi couldn't help but say.
"Huh? Have an eye! Guo Jia couldn't help but admire, "Yingchuan and Luoyang are on the same side of the Songshan Mountain Range, although one is on the mountain side and the other is on the other side of the mountain." But from a feng shui point of view, it's not much worse. And now that Luoyang and Chang'an are in turmoil, only Songshan is relatively safe. In addition, Yingchuan has a wide range of talents. It has always been an economic and cultural center near and far, and it is indeed a very good choice to settle in that area. β
Cao Xi didn't expect to say it casually. It turned out to be accurate, and suddenly said proudly.
"That's it! Don't underestimate me, I'm amazing! β
"If you can really set the capital in Yingchuan. That's really good, my husband's hometown happens to be there, and I'm sure I'll be happy to be able to move back in. Cai Wenji couldn't help but say.
It's a pity that Guo Jia doesn't feel about Yingchuan at all, and he really has forgotten his ancestors. However, even if it is pretended, Guo Jia will definitely pretend to be shown to others.
"If that could be the case, it would be the best. It's just that Yingchuan is too close to the Songshan Mountains after all, and it's okay as a county, but as the capital of a country, it has some restrictions on development and can't grow in scale, which seems a little stingy. So if my guess is correct, I should eventually find Yingchuan to the east, such as Xuxian or something. Guo Jia said using his prophet again.
"Xu County? Is that okay with a small place? Cao Xi couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's just a small place that is convenient, you can rebuild it as you want, and expand it as you want. Maybe it may seem like it may be a bit of a waste of money at first, but the capital is not a place that can be hasty after all, and from the perspective of long-term planning, Xu County is indeed much better than Yingchuan. Guo Jia explained.
At that time, in modern terms, Yingchuan should be regarded as a peripheral suburb of Xudu.
"That's fine, at least it's much more convenient to go home and worship your ancestors or something." Cai Wenji said that as a wife, the issues she cares about are really different.
"Okay, it's late at night, and you're tired today, so let's all go back and rest. These things will have to be talked about for a while in the future, and I don't care about this moment, I still have some things to deal with in the study, so you all go to sleep first. Guo Jia said.
"Husband......" Cai Wenji still wanted to say something, probably wanting to continue to stay with Guo Jia, but was directly interrupted by Guo Jia, "Good, go to sleep, obedient!" β
"Yes."
The crowd had no choice but to disperse.
"Ming'er, aren't you going to sleep?" Guo Jiachong's only little maid Ming'er who was left behind asked.
"If I also sleep, then who will serve the young master?" Ming'er asked rhetorically. Now, in order not to emphasize that she is a daughter, she doesn't even say the words 'Ming'er is just a little girl'.
"Hah! Okay, then you can come with me to the study. Guo Jia said with a smile.
"Yes, young master!" Ming'er's eyes lit up, every time at this time, Ming'er was more excited than ever, even if she might have been sleepy, but now she disappeared immediately.
When he came to the study, Guo Jia, as usual, unceremoniously handed over the matter of drafting a reply to Zhong Xuan to Ming'er. Of course, Guo Jia himself wants to be lazy, but he is definitely not deliberately exploiting and oppressing the poor little girl. Although this is just a private message between Guo Jia and Zhong Xuan, it stands to reason that Guo Jia can write it casually, but just like this time Guo Jia will show Zhong Xuan's letter to Cao Cao and others, it is hard to guarantee that Zhong Xuan will not show his Guo Jia's reply to the current emperor to read!
Oh no, it can't be said that it is difficult to guarantee, it should be sure that Zhong Xuan will show this letter to Emperor Xian, after all, Cao Cao has personally promised to come to help with this matter, but it can greatly stabilize Emperor Xian's heart to escape from Chang'an! Think about it, if Guo Jia casually wrote a few vernacular words, what would the emperor and a group of cronies and ministers around him think? Guo Jia is going to throw his face to the sky?!
Moreover, if Emperor Xian despises Guo Jia because of this, Cao Cao will probably encounter some obstacles if he wants to promote Guo Jia to a knighthood in the future. After all, Guo Jia is not a petty official, and Guo Jia's position is still promoted, and it is absolutely impossible not to know the emperor.
Therefore, in order to leave a good impression on Emperor Xiandi as a pillar of the future country, Guo Jia can only ask Ming'er to ghostwrite, with Ming'er's level, he can write a letter no less than Xun Yu!
After arranging everything, Guo Jia went directly to the recliner next to him and fell asleep. The recliner was placed in the study early in the morning, after all, when Guo Jia threw all the political affairs to Ming'er, it was the state of the two of them now. (To be continued......)
