After playing and staying in Lishan for a few days, Guo Jiabai said that he went out hunting with the generals, enjoyed the soup pool together at night, and there were sable cicadas, this trip to Lishan had unexpected fun and comfort.

When he returned to the door of his own mansion in Chang'an, Guo Jia looked at the newly renovated mansion and smiled.

The wealthy families of Yizhou invited Guo Jia to Lishan, which cannot be said to be ingenious, the purpose is not just to flatter, they brought a large number of skilled craftsmen to Chang'an to build mansions and shops, and they were in full swing, but there was a problem that could not be declared in front of them.

As the supreme ruler of this place, Guo Jia's mansion is ordinary, and if the wealthy families in Yizhou want to build the mansion more magnificently, it will inevitably have a bit of a noisy taste.

So they tacitly invited Guo Jia to Lishan, and then worked with Fa Zhengyi to renovate and expand Guo Jia's mansion from the inside out when Guo Jia was out.

At this time, it is not Guo Jia who should be low-key, he is not a minister, but a lord, and sometimes when he is in the forest, he really has to stand on the cusp.

The spacious mansion is presented in front of him, and Guo Jia doesn't mind Fa Zheng making his own opinions, anyway, they are all in their hearts, as a beneficiary, why bother to find faults.

Chang'an began to be rebuilt with the investment of the Yizhou wealthy family, and at the same time, invitations from Guo Jiana's concubines were also sent to them.

Holding a concubine ceremony in Chang'an, Guo Jia will not go to great lengths to invite people from Yizhou to participate, besides, it is not a wife, as long as the pomp is enough, there is no need to make a storm in the city, everyone knows it.

The wealthy families in Yizhou couldn't help but be overjoyed after getting the invitation, they were not happy for Guo Jia, but for themselves.

Diao Chan used to represent Guo Jia to join the Yizhou Chamber of Commerce, and now he is concubineed by Guo Jia, which will only make Guo Jia's connection with the Yizhou Chamber of Commerce closer.

As for the private affairs of Guo Jia's family, they can't control it, why Diao Chan, a beautiful woman who has captivated the country and the city, is only now being admitted to Guo Jia's house, and they don't want to explore it.

There are many young children in the wealthy family in Yizhou who want to be interested in Diao Chan and Big and Small Qiao, but no one has put it into practice after all.

The princes of the beacon fire drama lost the world with a smile.

A king can die for a woman, and a family can be destroyed because of a woman.

The Chamber of Commerce composed of wealthy families in Yizhou is now developing rapidly, not only in Yizhou, but also about to take root in Chang'an, if they get carried away at this time and cross the boundary of their duty, what awaits them will not be Guo Jia's friendly smile.

Dragons have scales, and they will be angry when they touch them, and so is the monarch.

It is undoubtedly foolish and ignorant for a family to take risks for the sake of great profits, but it will never bear the risk of annihilation because of petty profits, disputes of will, or even pink skeletons.

This wedding is more luxurious than Guo Jia's marriage to Zhen Jiang and Cai Yanshi, thanks to the diligence of the Yizhou wealthy family, the excitement is lively, and the guests present are only representatives of Chang'an Wenwu and Yizhou wealthy families.

Accepting a concubine is a commonplace sesame trivial matter for a prince, and it will not spread far and wide, nor will it be a good talk.

After the autumn harvest, the Chengdu imperial examination also came to an end.

Pang Tong unexpectedly stood out, as a rising star carefully cultivated by Pang Degong and Sima Hui, if Pang Tong has no talent at all, he is not qualified to be called a little phoenix by Mr. Shui Jing.

The people of Guanzhong, who had been uprooted due to the war, packed up their bags in Yizhou, brought their cattle and farm tools and household belongings and returned to Guanzhong with great anticipation.

In the early winter, Guo Jia was working in the mansion with a coat on his shoulders, staring at the list of newly promoted officials sent by Chengdu, considering Xi Zhicai's suggestion.

Among the talents selected for this imperial examination, there are only two people who can enter Yizhou Mansion as officials, Pang Tong and Fei Shi.

Fei Shi is a native of Qianwei County, familiar with Yizhou affairs, and can make the best use of his talents when he stays in Chengdu as an official, but for Pang Tong, Xi Zhicai sent a document to Guo Jia, hoping that Guo Jia can transfer Pang Tong to Chang'an.

In this letter, Xi Zhicai explained the reason, Pang Tong has always been from the Jingxiang family, if he secretly interacts with Jingzhou, it will be a huge hidden danger, and the cooperation between the inside and the outside is the best way to disintegrate the rule.

Guo Jia does not suspect that people are not suspicious, and Xi Zhicai knows this very well, but he must also be cautious.

Guo Jia can use the deeds of Pang Tong in the original history to infer that Pang Tong will not give Liu Biao his life, but these cannot be used as arguments to reassure Xi Zhicai.

Knowing people and knowing faces, but not knowing their hearts, Xi Zhicai hoped that Guo Jia would transfer Pang Tong to Chang'an, and once Chang'an was far away from Jingzhou, and Chengdu was far from Jingzhou, it would be more estranged. Second, Chang'an officialdom is empty, if Pang Tong goes to Chang'an, it will be equivalent to soaring into the sky, which will give full play to his talents better than if he stayed in Chengdu, and show Guo Jia's heavy heart.

At this time, it is the time to employ people, and Chang'an only has Xu Shu and Fa Zheng, which is obviously not enough.

"Yuan Zhi, draft an order and let Pang Tong transfer to Chang'an."

Guo Jia gave orders to Xu Shu in the hall.

Xi Zhicai's document is a secret letter, and this consideration cannot be discussed publicly, it must be done in private, and it must be airtight.

Xu Shu got the order, and immediately picked up the pen and wrote, and the Fa Zheng on the other side was a little surprised, he didn't expect Guo Jia to be so serious to Pang Tong!

But after thinking about it, Fa Zheng was relieved, wasn't he himself entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Guo Jia at a young age and held an important position.

This official under Guo Jia's command is bound to be the same as the officials under the command of the princes of the world, and he can definitely be called a cutting-edge new school.

Recently, government affairs have begun to be heavy, on the one hand, it is necessary to assign officials from various parts of Guanzhong to take up posts, and on the other hand, it is necessary to resettle the people who have returned from all over the world.

"How's the battle going in the west?"

Putting down the bamboo slips for the time being, Guo Jia reviewed the official document for a morning and wanted to change his mind, so he asked with a smile on his chin.

When Fa Zheng heard this, he smiled and said: "The fierce battle is in full swing, Ma Teng Han then recruited troops and quelled the rebellion on the one hand, and after fighting the east and the west, the south just set the north and chaos again, hehe, the west of Fufeng is very lively." ”

Guo Jia smiled, this situation was not difficult to predict, but when it really appeared, he did feel extremely happy.

"The more they fight, the less room there is to turn over."

Xu Shu thought so, and said meaningfully: "The war in Liangzhou is not extinguished, but Guanzhong is too peaceful, and the people of Liangzhou will rush to it. ”

The three people in the hall looked at each other and smiled tacitly, tacitly.

Guo Jia and Ma Teng Han were called allies, but they were actually wary of each other, so it was impossible for Ma Teng Han to ask Guo Jia to help them quell the rebellion.

There are thousands of hectares of fertile land in Guanzhong, but there is a lack of labor, which can not only attract the people of Guanzhong who have left their hometowns to return, but also attract the people of Liangzhou to escape the war.

After the common people gradually became scarce under the rule of Ma Teng Han Sui, they were destined to be weak for a long time.

Fighting a war depends on soldiers and horses, and the number of soldiers and horses is based on population.

It takes ten years to learn and learn a lesson.

Under the rule of Han Sui Ma Teng, there were fewer and fewer people, and after the war, there were many recruits, and the efficiency of restoring production was low.

The layout in Kansai has achieved initial results, and Guo Jia is happy to see it.

For example, in the eyes of today's people, Kansai is Guo Jia, Han Sui, and Ma Teng standing side by side, but in fact, as long as two or three years later, Guanzhong can be self-sufficient, and Guo Jia wants to exterminate Han Sui and Ma Teng, only in a flick of his fingers.

Gradually putting away his smile, his expression suddenly became solemn, Guo Jia sighed lightly: "I don't know how the situation will develop in the spring of next year." ”

Xu Shu Fazheng's expression also became serious.

All three of them know that next spring will be a crucial moment in deciding Guanzhong.

"Is the lord worried about Cao Ying or Yuan Shao?"

Fa Zheng asked tentatively.

If the Kwantung princes intend to suppress Guo Jia, next spring will be the best time and will deal a heavy blow to Guo Jia.

So Guo Jia stays in Chang'an and will not return to Chengdu until at least next spring.

"Cao Ying barely has more than 100,000 troops, he is based in the Central Plains, the land of a hundred battles, if he raises a large army to attack, how to ensure the stability of the rear? According to the following opinion, it is impossible for Cao Ying to rashly send troops, however, this person coerced the princes of the Son of Heaven, judging from his strategy for Xuzhou, it is very likely that the old trick will be repeated, and the edict will be openly instigated, and Yuan Shao will wave his army to the west, and then let Liu Biao attack Chengdu from the south, so that the lord will be attacked from the north and south. ”

Xu Shu's analysis is very reasonable, Cao Ying is a master of playing tiger and wolf devouring, so there is no accident in doing this.

Guo Jia is not convinced of this inference.

"Yuan Shao is indecisive, but his subordinates are full of talents, how can the person who advises him easily let Yuan Shao be used by Cao Ying? Anyway, Xiaozhi, you write a letter to Wen Yuan, and ask him to keep an eye on the movements in the east at Hangu Pass. Youping has been training in the Zhijun of Badong County for several years, and he must be eager for Liu Biao to raise troops to attack, so that he can show his majesty, hehe, Youping doesn't need to be told there, and the fine work in Jingzhou will always send him news. ”

Now is an extraordinary period, as long as he survives the initial period after the pacification of Guanzhong, Guo Jia can firmly hold the territory in his hand.

"By the way, haven't Xingba and Evil Lai come back yet?"

Guo Jia looked at Xu Shu with an inquiring expression.

Xu Shu's face turned pale, and he said: "The two generals went out to suppress bandits, and the news of their return yesterday was not accidental, and they will return to Chang'an later." ”

Guo Jia nodded when he heard this, and stopped talking.

The territory of Guanzhong has been poisoned by Li Dao Guo Yan for a long time, and many people have fallen into the grass, and the thieves who occupy the mountains as kings are not in the climate, and most of them are just hundreds.

In order to restore peace in Guanzhong, for several months, Guo Jia sent generals out to recruit thieves, and if there was armed resistance and disobedient, the army would be exterminated.

Before the arrival of the new year, Guanzhong has been cleared by Guo Jiawanli, creating a stable and worry-free environment for the people to live and work in peace and contentment.
