"I have news that there will be a big flood in Yangjiang this year, which may affect Wan, Hebei, Yuan, and Ning. The Xiongnu in the north also want to go south, and the seven divisions of the left wing are all fighting hard, and they will send troops to Yunzhong at the end of March at the most. ”

After Ying Chong finished speaking, he asked Guo Jia: "Mr. Guo thinks that in such a situation, what should I do to prepare?"

Guo Jia first expressed his doubt: "Will the left wing of the Xiongnu invade south? That Zuoxian Wang is still in Xianyang City!"

At this time, even the envoys of King Zuoxian. Even if you go back to catch up, it is impossible to return to the grassland in March.

There is also the spring flood of the Yangjiang River in the north, where did the news of this Guogong come from? Is it Baiyun Temple, Baiyun Temple, or Changsheng Dao? Even if these two families, it is impossible to determine the catastrophe so early, right?

In fact, Guo Jia was more puzzled by Ying Chong's attitude towards him. He originally thought that Ying Chong would compare some of his subsets of scriptures and history, the essentials of governance and the law, etc., but he asked him a question that should not be answered by him, an outsider, and it seemed that he had taken it too seriously.

"I thought it was strange to me, but that's what the news said. ”

Ying Chong shook his head slightly, in fact, this matter, he was a stomach of doubts yesterday.

Zuo Xian Wang Lao Shang is the master of the seven divisions of the left wing, and the seven divisions of the left wing are going south, this is the fate of the old man? This is the prince of the Xiongnu, the next Xiongnu Shan Yu, and has a high reputation among the seven divisions of the left wing of the Xiongnu.

Speaking of Lao Shang, a while ago he had an entanglement with this one because of the 'Beihai Four Truths'. The Heavenly Saint Emperor once asked the old man to question the old man about the murder of the 'Beihai Four Truths' on the street. And this Zuo Xian King also seemed to have made some concessions to the Heavenly Saint Emperor, so that the turmoil turned into a big thing and a small matter.

Then, just ten days ago, when the court dispute was raging, King Zuo Xian also gave him a gift worth about 70,000 gold, saying that it was an apology for the shock. They are all specialties of some grasslands, which are difficult to see in the Central Plains.

"If that's the case, then King Zuoxian's safety needs to be careful. ”

Guo Jia sat down casually and fell into deep thought: "If the news is conclusive, Guogong may wish to remind King Zuo Xian of his safety along the way when he returns." ”

When Ying Chong heard this, his face changed suddenly, why didn't he think of this possibility? If King Zuo Xian was still there, then Daqin, who had just negotiated peace with the Xiongnu, would naturally not have any border troubles, but what if he died?

"As far as I know, now in the east of the Xiongnu, the Mongol tribes have been unified. The invasion continued, Xianbei, Turkic, and Khitan all suffered from it, and the Jurchens had surrendered. At this time, the Xiongnu were flawless to the south, and the strong enemy in the east was their heart. It's still the Xiaoyue clan and the Wusun clan, which have also become stronger and stronger in recent years. King Zuoxian's intention to make peace with Great Qin should be true. ”

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he reminded again: "As for you, Guogong, nothing else has anything to do with you, only the fief needs to be careful." You might as well clean up the army, strengthen the city defenses, and then send good generals to lead it. There are also Xie County and Mengzhou, both on the side of the Yangjiang River, and it is also necessary to repair the river dam and pay attention to patrolling to prevent villains from causing trouble. ”

Ying Chong smiled, already recognizing this talent: "But what if I want to profit from it?

Guo Jia didn't answer for the time being, only looked at Ying Chong with strange eyes, and only smiled after a while: "It's simple to make profits, collect grain months in advance, prepare medicinal materials, buy low and sell high, you will definitely make the Guogong make a lot of money, you might as well collect evidence and impeach the governor of the river and the magistrates along the Yangjiang River for dereliction of duty and greed for ink." The Heavenly Saint Emperor is a rare Ming monarch, and the silver money used for the renovation of the river embankment over the years is not less than 20 million gold. But when I entered Qinjing along the way, I saw that the embankments along the Qingjiang River were all empty, and once there was a big flood, there would definitely be a catastrophe. Qingjiang is still like this, and Yangjiang is afraid that it will not be much better. After the fact, the court held him accountable, and the prince was naturally able to get a piece of the pie. As for the Wuyang Ying clan, if the prince is confident, he might as well drive the displaced people to attack Wuyang. ”

When the last sentence came out, it was September and Ying Yue'er, and they also looked sideways at Ying Chong.

"Sir's words are serious, this kind of thing, my father can't do it. ”

Ying Chong shook his head, he could flood Wuyang with a lot of water without hesitation after the Wuyang Ying clan manipulated the homeless. But before that, he couldn't be as vicious and ruthless as Ying Yuandu.

He also secretly sighed at the difficulty of state affairs, and the Heavenly Saint Emperor was a rare Ming monarch in Great Qin. But the money that the province used to rest the river fell into the pockets of the officials of the river. 20 million gold per year, which is equivalent to nearly half of Daqintianfu, but over the years, it has not had any effect.

It can be seen that it is a top priority to renovate the rule of officials and suppress the power of the family, otherwise the situation of the Great Qin will never be improved. If the decree is not smooth, no matter how wise the Heavenly Saint Emperor is, it is useless.

With a sigh, Ying Chong withdrew his distracting thoughts: "Mr. seems to have reservations? The previous words were just general strategies, and there was nothing strange about them. ”

But Guo Jia no longer had any intention of making suggestions for Ying Chong, and said with a wry smile: "My lord is too high-minded, Guo is a scholar, and this is all he wants, which disappoints Lord Guogong." ”

Ying Chong knew that this person must have a plan, but because he hadn't decided whether to work for himself or not, he didn't want to say it.

This person knows the balance very well, and just a few words before it are enough to make himself pay attention to it.

If it weren't for the stone tablet and Ying Yue'er to remind him, he would probably be fooled by Ying Chong, and he was very satisfied with him and appreciated him.

"I am not disappointed, gentleman's talent, which has been greatly exceeded my expectations. It is already very extraordinary for a scholar from a poor family to have such insight as you. ”

This is a deliberate stab at Guo Jia, you have a very good ability, but you are just such a look. Then Ying Chongguo saw that Guo Jia's eyes were slightly excited, and he seemed to be unconvinced.

He smiled secretly in his heart, but pretended not to realize: "It is really a blessing for my father to be able to get the effect of Mr. I don't know if he would like to take up any official position in my shogunate, or if he would go on the right path? The latter is a little troublesome, and he will have to wait until the end of the year to evaluate the goods. The former only needs to send a recommendation letter to the ministry, but the future is a little difficult. ”

Guo Jia: "I am willing to seek a west seat in the Guogong Mansion to wait for the township evaluation at the end of the year." ”

The corners of Ying Chong's lips were slightly raised, and his heart was really like this, what was waiting for the township evaluation at the end of the year, it was just a pretense, but he didn't want to be bound by him.

"It's okay to comment on the township at the end of the year, but you are from Zhao State, and you are from a poor family, although I can recommend it to Yongzhou Dazhongzheng, but the final product has to rely on yourself. ”

Seeing Guo Jia's grateful look, Ying Chong not only shook his head secretly, but thought that this guy's acting skills were really good. He was now at least seventy or eighty percent sure that this person was one of the nine disciples of the Ghost Valley today.

"That's right, and your junior brother named Wang Meng. He can have a brother like you. I think my own talent must also be the best choice,"

Since Guo Jia may have been born in the Guigu Valley, it is naturally self-evident what his junior disciple is.

"He's a great talent. What he learned was different from mine, and he was curious and scheming, while his junior brother was inclined to govern and strategize, and he was closer to the Legalists. Shizun once praised the talent of his junior brother, not inferior to Wolong and Phoenix, saying that he only needs another ten years of experience and tempering. After 10 years, it can be entrusted to the affairs of a country. ”

Guo Jia said calmly, and admired Wang Mengzhi's talent: "But if you go to invite him now, most of them will be rejected by him, so you might as well try it in the name of your wife." Just promise to give him 600,000 gold after ten years, and presumably he will gladly obey the order. ”

Anyone who hears these words will feel ridiculous. Who is Wolong and Phoenix? What ten years later, can it be entrusted to a country? And 600,000 gold -- what kind of strategist can be worth such a sky-high price?

But since Ying Chong guessed that the person in front of him was one of the nine people in the Ghost Valley, how could he despise his words?

Is it 600,000 gold? You might as well ask Wei Zheng to come over and show him the condition. If this Wang Meng's talent is really not inferior to Guo Jia, why should he cherish all this money?

The truly unparalleled national warriors are priceless treasures.
