Chapter II: Helping Refugees

After returning to the humble room at home, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai drank for half a night, slept together, and did not wake up until noon the next day.

In ancient times, the purity of alcohol was not high, and there were not too many sequelae after a hangover, Guo Jia got up and washed up and tidied up and went out of the house, just to see the crowds on the street, and the homeless people with yellow faces and thin clothes begging for food everywhere, the scene was unbearable.

Just as Guo Jia was in a daze, a handsome and restrained blue-shirted young man came to Guo Jia and asked, "What is Feng Xiao thinking?" ”

Guo Jia woke up suddenly, turned his head to look, and sighed: "Wen Ruo, how many homeless people have come here today?" ”

The handsome blue-shirted young man was Xun Yu, and he said with a solemn face: "I'm afraid it's not more than 10,000." Natural disasters in the Central Plains have been continuous year after year, and this year there is a major drought, and the harvest may be less than 30% of previous years, and the people in many places are hungry and poorly clothed, and they are in a difficult situation. ”

Guo Jia sneered: "I don't know how many buckets of grain were rotten last night in the granary of the wealthy family."

Xun Yu was silent and speechless, he knew that Guo Jia was prejudiced against the family, no, it can't be said to be prejudice, it should be said that Guo Jia's views on the family are to the point, but from the perspective of others, it is hostile.

The two returned to Guo Jia's house together, and it happened that Xi Zhicai had also woken up and played the piano in the house, Guo Jia Xunyu did not disturb, sat quietly on both sides, closed his eyes and listened.

The music played by Xi Zhicai is harmonious, and the atmosphere is more majestic, which makes the listener's heart stir, high-spirited, and condensed for a long time, Xun Yu praised in his heart: Wen Zhicai's music, it is known that his ambition is three, the ambition is big, the ambition is high, if it is used properly, it is unlimited!

When the last piano note settled, the room was silent for a long time, and for a long time, Guo Jiacai and Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief, calming down the excitement in their hearts, and Xi Zhicai also picked up a silk cloth to wipe his hands.

The three of them are respectful of each other, regardless of whether they are high or low, they are only in the heart, so there is less flattering appreciation, and red tape is not taken to heart, which is what makes the friendship of the three rare.

Serving three cups of tea to the guests, Guo Jia asked Xun Yu: "If Wen is here, what is the matter?" ”

Xun Yu felt ashamed in his heart, and said with an embarrassed face: "After Fengxiao lost his mother, it was inconvenient for me to go out with guests at home, so I came here to ask for ...... guilt."

Before he finished speaking, Guo Jia interrupted him with a smile.

"If you don't have to be like this, I know your mind."

Xun Yu smiled bitterly and continued: "Second, my father came forward to deal with the Guo family, and the Guo family will not have any more incidents from now on, and in addition, I will give you thousands of acres of fertile land to comfort your mother's pain." ”

After Guo Jia heard this, he laughed and said, "Thousands of acres of fertile land? The Guo family is really too deceitful, my family is poor, and there are no slaves, thousands of acres of land, who will plow? ”

Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu also smiled bitterly, this is going to be replaced by someone else, I'm afraid I have to be happy for at least half a day, it is also a thousand acres of fertile land, but after all, this Guo Jia in front of him is a ghost talent and quick wit, and in a blink of an eye, he understands the mystery.

"What do you mean?" Xun Yu asked tepidly, he knew that Guo Jia had a countermeasure, and he even thought about what he would do if he was in Guo Jia's position, it was nothing more than selling land, and the key was who to sell it to.

Before Guo Jia could answer, Xi Zhicai had already said angrily: "The head of the Guo family is so hateful that he wants to humiliate Fengxiao!" Hateful! ”

Xun Yu and Guo Jia glanced at each other, smiling very strongly, Guo Jia's heart brightened, but he still asked, "What does Zhicai mean by this?" ”

Xi Zhicai glanced at Guo Jia and scolded with a smile: "Guo Fengxiao, you know better than anyone else in your heart that the Guo family is doing this is nothing more than letting you sell this field to them in exchange for money, Yingchuan Junjie all said that you Guo Fengxiao is proud of yourself, and now if you sell land for money, you will be laughed at by others." You sold it back to the Guo family, this is a great shame! If you don't sell this land, the fertile land is wasted, it is the basis for others to ridicule, saying that you Guo Fengxiao is just a yellow mouth, can speak well but can only boast, thousands of acres of fertile land can not be treated, how to talk about others? ”

"Hahahaha......" Guo Jia and Xun Yu laughed loudly, the three of them had already thought of this matter, the pros and cons had already been decided, and the difficulty was not whether they could see the evil intentions of this thousand acres of fertile land, but how to deal with it was a problem.

"Feng Xiao has a countermeasure in his heart, why not say it? I can't come up with a foolproof solution for this matter after thinking about it. Xun Yu looked directly at Guo Jia to see what he had planned.

Xi Zhicai is also very curious about how the scheming Guo Fengxiao can solve this problem.

Guo Jia, who was calm and relaxed, pondered for a long time and then spoke: "Wen Ruo, although I am young, you know my heart, at this time, I have a reluctant request, I hope Wen Ruo will help me again." ”

The curious Xun Yu thought about it: Could it be that Fengxiao wants to sell thousands of acres of fertile land to me? No, that would be true, then? Give it to me? This is a solution, but it is difficult to hide the suspicion that everyone scolded him Guo Fengxiao.

"What are the difficulties of Fengxiao, although I say it, I will not shirk what I can." Xun Yu said sincerely.

Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "Please Wen Ruo lend me three hundred families a year's food for life." ”

Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai were full of doubts, neither of them expected that Guo Jia's words were not what they expected.

"This, it's okay, I can call the shots in this matter, but whether Fengxiao can think and tell you what you think in your heart, I am very curious about Fengxiao's thoughts."

Xun Yu agreed, but just like Xi Zhicai, his face was thoughtful, and he was very surprised.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "The Guo family is just a person who expects me to have no arable land, as long as this problem is solved, what are you worried about?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu understood it, and they thought of the refugees begging for food in their minds.

The three of them stopped talking, looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly laughed in unison, and Xi Zhicai even laughed and then clapped his hands and praised: "Doing this good deed of filial piety can make the Guo family's plan fall through, and second, it can accumulate virtue to help the people, which is really immeasurable." ”

But what Guo Jia wants in his heart is not only what Xi Zhicai said so little, as for more, he will see later.

Although Guo Jia and Xun Yu are close friends, the matter of borrowing grain is very solemn, and he made a written note, drawing a pledge as evidence, and agreed to return it in installments within three years.

After a month, the 1,000 acres of fertile land in Guo Jia's name and the 100 acres of land that his family had before had been cultivated by labor, and a simple living room was built next to the woods not far from the farmland, and the sound of reading aloud was heard in the largest wooden house.

Standing outside the house, Xun Yu's face was calm, but his heart was uncontrollably undulating.

Guo Fengxiao, what a ghost!

He is not yet a ten-year-old boy, but he dares to teach and educate people, and educate the sons of the poor in this simple wooden house, and I don't know if these nearly 100 young children will be able to repay Guo Fengxiao's hard work in the future!

Guo Jia just walked out of the wooden house after the lecture, and happened to meet Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai, Xi Zhicai was invited by Guo Jia to come to teach, after all, he was also alone, without worry, this matter of cultivating talents was also with him, and he gladly accepted it.

However, Xun Yu was born in a scholar family, and it is impossible to put down his body to do this thing that is ridiculed by the wealthy family, and he is really helpless due to the limitations of his identity.

"Little princess, talk all morning, I'm afraid your mouth is dry, come, little princess, please drink water." Xun Yu jokingly handed over a glass of water, and his eyes were full of teasing.

Guo Jia gave him a roll of his eyes, and he was incredulous: That old man who suffered a thousand knives!

A few years ago, there was an old Taoist and Guo Jia had a relationship, saying that Guo Jia was the reincarnation of Jiang Taigong, and he had the title of Little Taigong, which had been a long time ago, and no one cared about it for a long time, but recently he helped the displaced people, and Guo Jia became famous among the people, so there were good people who dug deep into Guo Jia's past, trying to understand more about Guo Jia, so the title of this little Taigong was also turned out, and now it is good, the 300 homeless people he helped call him Little Taigong.

"Fengxiao, how did you come up with all this? I, Xun Yu, have been well-informed in recent years, and the sages and wise people of Luoyang, Kyoto, have occasional opportunities for interviews, but the only one who can come up with these is you, Guo Fengxiao. ”

Xun Yu refers to the methods used by Guo Jia to call those seven or eight-year-old children, literacy with pinyin, arithmetic with formulas, etc., and these make Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai amazing, those diligent and inquisitive children can read thousands of words in less than a month, and they can draw inferences from one another, and the progress of learning is amazing.

Guo Jia smiled bitterly: "If you don't talk about it, teaching and educating people has a long way to go, although Zhicai often says that I have a shortcut to teach these children to become great talents, but there is no end to learning, even if you and I and Zhicai are tied together, how dare you say that you know all the knowledge in the world?" Now these children are diligent and diligent with gratitude, and I only hope that in the future they will not be slack off and lazy when they have no worries about food and clothing. ”

Xun Yu nodded in understanding, and was about to say something more, but saw an old man walking in the distance, only to see the old man holding a snow-white beard with one hand, while sighing in amazement, his eyes turned around the farmland and the farmhouse on the edge of the forest.

Guo Jia just casually followed Xun Yu's line of sight, but his expression was shocked, and he hurriedly ran towards the old man.

Xun Yu stretched out his hand to stop Guo Jia and ask for an understanding, but he took a step slowly, his hand fell into the void, and when he looked at it again, he was stunned.

I saw Guo Jia running directly in front of the half-hundred-hundred-year-old man, reaching out and grabbing the old man's snow-white beard, and said viciously: "Dead old man, I want to kill you!" ”

The old man grinned in pain, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Alas, alas, I said Xiaoyou, you are light, light, since you are worried about the old man, why do you want to make things difficult for the old man?" ”

Guo Jia didn't let go of his hand, and said angrily: "You just swagger and deceive, why did you say that I was the reincarnation of Jiang Taigong back then?" Now everyone calls me Little Taigong, do you know what Taigong means? ”

Taigong generally refers to little father, little grandfather, Guo Jia is always called so, naturally impatient, and with his idea, it will be a problem to find a daughter-in-law in the future! Otherwise, as soon as the woman meets, she will call first: Little Taigong! What should Guo Jia do? Should it come down? That pickled girl is out of play, and she has grown up for no reason. Shouldn't it come down? It's so rude that the first impression is ruined.

And the source of the matter is the old Taoist in front of him who looks like a fairy wind and bones!

I only heard the old man continue to beg for mercy: "Little friend, let go, the old man's beard is going to be plucked out by you!" Lao Dao Zuoci will accompany you first, don't we, what do we have to say, let's go first, okay? ”

Zuo Ci? Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and the strength in his hands was relaxed, and Zuo Ci Lao Dao immediately raised his head and held his chest high, stroking his beard with one hand, and became a master.
