Chapter Forty-Seven: Singing to the Wine
In an era when the people at the bottom did not popularize knowledge, many simple and even superstitious means can win the hearts of the people, Zhang Jiao used the absurd trick of saving people with a water spell can confuse the people's hearts, not to mention that Zhang Jiao's does have a righteous act of helping the poor, Zhang Lu wants to gather fame in Hanzhong, promote the Five Dou Rice Sect, and open a righteous house, in fact, it is the same way.
Guo Jia wants to consolidate the power of Yizhou, the Taiping Army is the basic, and the next thing is the people's heart, even if Guo Jia disdains to go to the people to ask for warmth, because he is the person in power, the interests of the people are not his fake greetings, not that he can help a few people to make all the people grateful and virtuous, just the appearance can only confuse the people's hearts for a while, if the policy related to the vital interests of the people cannot be launched, sooner or later it will be separated from the people, but the face project, can be done or done.
Maybe Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao's starting point is just to sympathize with the vulnerable groups among the people, but it gave Guo Jia a new idea, one that can not only make the Taiping Army feel more at ease to work for him, but also let the people see his benevolent side.
"Big Joe, little Joe, you say, if I set up a new county, let the orphans of the fallen soldiers move in, reduce their taxes, provide them with living assistance, and have the merchants hire them to make their lives secure?"
The two sisters' beautiful eyes lit up, and Da Qiao smiled gently: "It is the blessing of the people that the general can put the people first and do great good." ”
This can only be regarded as a good deed for some people, and it is the people who are connected with Guo Jia, and if you want the people of Yizhou to be affected by Guo Jia's policy of benefiting the people, you still need to discuss it with the strategists.
The establishment of a new village and the relocation of the orphans of the fallen soldiers to it can be regarded as Guo Jia's move to remove the worries of the Taiping soldiers, and this move will definitely make the soldiers more loyal to him, as for who will hire these handicraftsmen, Guo Jia still owes the Zhen family a great family business, this Guo Jia has not forgotten, it is always to be returned to the Zhen family, Zhen Yu is now idle at home, and he is about to get sick.
But a new question arises, who will govern this village? Guo Jia wants to accumulate fame, this part is naturally to let the people count the kindness on his head, if he sends an official, it may become the beauty of others.
Looking up slightly, Guo Jia actually didn't look at anything, just thinking, but Da Qiao Xiao Qiao followed Guo Jia's gaze, it was the roof, there was nothing else, Xiao Qiao couldn't help but ask: "General, what are you looking at?" ”
Coming back to his senses, Guo Jia said hesitantly: "I'm thinking, who will be responsible for this village or this county?" They are all orphans and widows, and if men govern them, I am afraid that sooner or later there will be right and wrong. ”
In fact, this is an untenable argument, at first it must not be too large, at most it is a small village, and there is almost no need for administrative officials to govern it, as long as it is within the scope of county management.
When Da Qiao heard this, he asked hesitantly: "General, look, can I do it?" ”
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and looked at the solemn Da Qiao, who was not only beautiful, but also exuded the atmosphere of knowing the surname, which made Guo Jia can't help but want to be crooked.
Governance is complete nonsense, after handing over the tangible benefits to the people, only one person needs to go through the motions to collect fame, Guo Jia will go in person, you can, but it is too conspicuous, and it will always be criticized for being false, benevolent and false, after all, the general who leads the land of Yizhou is not busy with government affairs, but he has to run to the people to show his grace.
changed to other officials, Guo Jia was afraid that the people would take the favor on others, but what about Da Qiao? At first, it was nothing, even if the people only recognized Da Qiao and did not recognize Guo Jia, after a few years, Da Qiao was twenty years old, and Guo Jia pushed her down......
Well?
Guo Jia, who woke up suddenly, found that he seemed to have blasphemed Da Qiao's sincerity, avoided Da Qiao's gaze, and coughed lightly to hide his face.
"General, are you unwell? Isn't the wind chill a few days ago not good? Xiao Qiao came to Guo Jia's side with concern, and looked at him with a worried face.
Guo Jia felt that he was too ashamed, and the two sisters of the Bodhisattva's heart talked to him about business, but he wanted to get into trouble.
Speaking of which, the identities of the two in Guo Jia are unclear, but Guo Jia's subordinates and martial arts also know what the identities of the Qiao sisters will be in the future, as for why Guo Jia put two beauties who have captivated the country and the city into the house for a long time, they are not clear, and they are too lazy to guess these private matters.
Guo Jia can't bear it, the girl in the flower season will marry a woman, there is always a kind of burden of crime and the guilt of destroying them, Cai Yan's eighteen-year-old pregnancy has already made Guo Jia feel guilty, even if you want to harm a few more beauties, at least you can't rush to pick it when the buds are ready to be released.
Raising his hand and rubbing Xiao Qiao's head dotingly, Guo Jia said softly: "I still have to consider the specific measures, your intentions, I understand, I will do this as soon as possible, if I need your help then, I hope that Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao will not refuse." ”
Da Qiao smiled and said, "If you can help the general, please ask the general to speak, my sisters will definitely not stand idly by." ”
After getting up, he asked Guo Ye to salute the Qiao sisters, Guo Ye really bowed in style, and the little adult's behavior made the three of them laugh.
Sending Guo Jia out of the house, Da Qiao returned to the house and saw Xiao Qiao sorting out Guo Jia's messy hair, only to see his sister pouting and saying coquettishly: "Sister, why do you say the general treats me as a child?" ”
Da Qiao was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically: "Why do you say this?" ”
Finally combing the messy hair neatly, Xiao Qiao pouted and said: "Every time the general sees Ye'er, he makes three movements, hug Ye'er, kiss Ye'er, and then stroke Ye'er's hair." ”
Da Qiao, who was dumbfounded, walked towards the inner hall, and said with a smile as he walked: "Then you should be happy, maybe next time, the general will pick you up and kiss you." ”
"Sister, you dare to laugh at me! Don't you think so? Don't run! ”
……
When Guo Jia came to the door with his son, Zhen Yu took the brothers to greet him in person, Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao and Guo Jia had just separated, and when they saw the lord come to the door, they saluted and called the lord respectfully, and Zhen Yu also called the general respectfully.
After Guo Jia stepped into the door of Zhen's mansion, he grabbed Zhen Yu's arm and walked inside, and said with a smile: "Zihe and Zixiu (Zhen Yan table) are officials in Yizhou Mansion, they want to salute me, I accept it, brother, you must not salute again, what a general, without a brother, how can I say today?" You still call me Fengxiao, otherwise, I won't dare to come to the door in the future. ”
Guo Jia, who followed up like his own family, dragged Zhen Yu towards the lobby, Zhen Yu couldn't cry or laugh, but Guo Jia was so troubled, but he also resumed the ease when he talked to friends.
"The Zhen family's liquor stores in the north and south of the country are closed, I haven't drunk a sip of drunken immortals for more than half a year, don't tell me that the Zhen family has no inventory."
After entering the lobby, he sat down at the guest seat, after Guo Jia put down Guo Ye, he looked left and right, and suddenly asked Zhen Yu in a low voice, "Brother, is your mother in the backyard?" Don't alarm her old man, I'll just sit and leave. ”
Now Guo Jia is afraid of Cai Yong's hateful face with a toothache, and second, he is afraid of Mrs. Zhen's smile that is more ugly than crying.
It is estimated that Mrs. Zhen dreamed of asking Guo Jia to pay back the money.
Zhen Yu really convinced Guo Jia and said with a smile: "My mother and Cai Gong went to Mount Emei to pray for blessings." ”
Guo Jia suddenly realized that he was generally elongating the tail sound "oh", his face gradually became happy, he winked at Zhen Yu, and pretended to ask: "What are you waiting for, brother?" Call Jiang Er out, let's push the cup and change the lamp, and rest when we get drunk. ”
Yao remembered that in the half a year that Guo Jia lived in Zhen's house, Zhen Yu and Guo Jia, Xu Shu, and Zhen Jiang were almost all taken by Guo Jia.
Zhen Yu was full of emotion, and Guo Jia seemed to have a bit of the unruly look of the year in front of him, so he was also interested, and beckoned the two younger brothers to call Zhen Jiang over, and then let the subordinates send the treasured drunken immortals and delicacies.
Thinking that the low table was small, Guo Jia hula put together three tables, beckoned to Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi in the courtyard, and shouted: "Come on, come on, drink together, warm up, hey, how long have you two been with me, don't you know my temper, don't be slow, come in quickly." ”
Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi ate and slept with Guo Jia when they traveled around the world, but now Guo Jia is the lord, and he also has the gift of a monarch and a minister in his heart, but Guo Jia urges them, which can be regarded as an order, and they can't help but obey.
The banquet was soon placed on the table, and Guo Jia, who was sitting cross-legged at the table, saw Zhen Jiang coming shyly, graceful and graceful, but Guo Jia laughed loudly: "Miss Zhen, when I Guo Jia climbed over the wall and entered the hospital like a flower thief in the dead of night, you are not such a twisted attitude, I don't know who was shocked to send me, a disciple, to the official." ”
The three brothers of the Zhen family laughed loudly after hearing this, only to see that Zhen Jiang was ashamed and angry, and the excitement of reuniting with Guo Jia for a long time turned into anger with the laughter of everyone, and they came to Guo Jia's back, Zhen Jiang strained his face and stared at Guo Jia with his eyes, but soon, it turned into a light smile, his eyes were not sharp, the rhyme was soft, and his eyes were full of tears, laughing and laughing but wanted to cry loudly.
More than two years ago, after Guo Jia left Zhen's house, Zhen Jiang never saw Guo Jia again, even after coming to Chengdu, Guo Jia was entangled in business, Zhen Jiang abided by women's morality, but the two did not see each other.
But listening to Guo Jia's words and looking at Guo Jia's profligate posture, why did a silent heart tremble so violently? It's almost suffocating.
"Jiang'er, come, pour wine for me." Guo Jia naturally pulled Zhen Jiang to his side, and Guo Ye, who was on the other side of Guo Jia, stared at Zhen Jiang curiously.
Zhen Jiang obediently filled Guo Jia with a glass of wine, and then saw Guo Jia raise his glass and salute everyone, and said loudly: "You are all my best friends who regard me as flesh and blood brothers, today, there are no lords and courtiers here, only my brother, my virtuous brother, and her, my good wife, we are a family, come and come, drink this cup!" ”
The three brothers of the Zhen family and Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi all know Guo Jia's style very well, and if they don't have fun today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain.
A drink, accompanied by the laughter of everyone, did not end until late at night.
