After Xun Yu and the three of them promised to be loyal to Cao Cao, the atmosphere of the banquet was a little warmer.

Guo Jia drank all the wine in the cup and said with a chuckle,

"Feng Xiao has something unclear in his heart, and I ask the lord to make it clear."

"Fengxiao doesn't have to be polite, just ask."

Cao Cao laughed.

"As soon as we entered the city, we saw notices posted by the government, encouraging the people to reclaim the land and beckoning to the poor clans. I don't know who came from these policies for the benefit of the people? ”

Guo Jia's face was indifferent, and he asked casually, but in fact, his eyes were already fixed on Cao Cao.

"Well, I actually discussed it with my subordinates."

Cao Cao snorted.

Although he drank a lot of wine, he still remembered Yang Ling's advice.

"Yes, this is what we agreed together."

Xiahou Tang and Xiahou Yuan also nodded in agreement.

In addition to these clan generals, Cao Jun either didn't know about Yang Ling's existence, or he just knew that Yang Ling was the elder brother of Dian Wei and Zhao Yun when they were in the limelight when they were crusading against Dong Zhuo a few days ago.

Before tonight's banquet, Cao Cao told them not to mention Yang Ling at will.

"I see."

Guo Jia nodded.

Xun Yu and the others are not fools, just these generals under Cao Cao, let them go into battle to kill the enemy.

How is it possible to come up with such a policy that benefits the people?

It's just that the three of them have just arrived, and Cao Cao doesn't want to say it clearly, and they can't continue to ask.

……

Early the next morning, Xun Yu and the three took office.

In order to show his respect for them, Cao Cao resigned from the original county and appointed Xun Yu as his deputy.

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai are very talented in military affairs, and they were appointed as military advisors together!

After the first day of work, the three of them gathered for a meal together.

"The pattern of the lord is really beyond Yuan Shao's reach."

Xun Yu sighed.

They had only known Cao Cao for a day, and Cao Cao valued them so much that he handed over such an important position as the county commander and the military advisor to them.

"But I'm a little puzzled, why did the main guild tell me to Zhicai today, saying that it was arranged for a doctor to check our bodies in the past two days?"

Guo Jia was a little stunned.

"I don't understand either."

Xi Zhicai was also at a loss.

"Maybe the lord sees that you don't look good and is worried about your health."

Xun Yu smiled,

"This is also the lord's concern for you."

"Maybe so."

Guo Jia shook his head and didn't take it to heart.

"When I took office today, I noticed something unusual."

Xun Yu said suddenly.

Seeing his mysterious appearance, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were interested, and hurriedly said,

"What's out of the ordinary?"

"I found that the officials under the lord are all using a counting method called Huaxia numbers."

Xun Yu said as he dipped his hands in water and wrote out the numbers from 1 to 0 on the table.

After his brief explanation, the smart and clever Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai quickly understood the usefulness of numbers.

"Brother Wen Ruo, don't say it, this method of counting is concise and compact, easy to understand and easy to understand, and it is also a statistical aspect."

Guo Jia couldn't help but nod his head in praise.

"Not only that, but the way they count logistics materials is also different from what we used to do."

"They kept their receipts and expenditures separate and kept them in two books."

"When you need to check the accounts, you only need to calculate the two account books separately, and finally summarize them, and then compare them with the materials in the warehouse."

Xun Yu said slowly.

Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise,

"This kind of bookkeeping, coupled with Huaxia numbers, can really simplify the complexity and reduce a lot of work! I just don't know who came up with these two methods? ”

"I asked those little officials, and they all said that they were invented by Taishou."

Xun Yu said.

It was at this moment that Xi Zhi noticed that Guo Jia was touching his chin and thinking about something.

"Bonghyo, what are you thinking?"

"Do you still remember last night's banquet, when we asked about the policy of benefiting the people, Cao Gong's words were insincere?"

Guo Jia said softly.

"Of course I do. What's wrong? ”

"Is it possible that the person who provided Cao Gong with policies that benefited the people and invented these two bookkeeping methods was the same person?"

Guo Jia's words instantly stunned Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai.

"Why does Bonghyo have such an idea?"

Xun Yu couldn't help but ask.

"We took office today, and the people under the lord have basically seen it, who do you think will be the one who proposes policies that benefit the people and invents a new type of bookkeeping?"

Guo Jia asked rhetorically.

"This ......"

The two frowned in thought, then both shook their heads.

They took office today, and they have already met Cao Cao's subordinates.

There are many generals who can fight well and are heroic.

But there is not a single person who can be called resourceful!

"In my opinion, there must be another advisor under the lord, who is low-key and does not like to be in the limelight. He also offered all the previous plans. ”

Guo Jia said with a smile,

"But this is just my guess, not necessarily right!"

"What you say is not impossible."

Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai bowed slightly, and their expressions were a little approving.

After all, Guo Jia is the smartest among the three of them, and he is the best at finding clues.

If Yang Ling knew about the conversation between the three of them, he would definitely look up to the sky and sigh, I hid it so deeply, I didn't think I would let you find out!

"Hearing you say that, I'd like to get acquainted with this guy."

Xun Yu was a little moved.

If it is really as Guo Jia said, these are all done by the same person, just say that that person's talent is not below him!

It's a pity that I can't get acquainted with this kind of talent!

But this person likes to keep a low profile, and he doesn't want to show his head, and he can't force it. If you forcibly find him, I'm afraid that you will anger the other party. ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said.

"That's what you're saying. But we are all serving under the Lord's account, and the future will be long. ”

Xun Yu smiled.

He didn't believe that the person behind Cao Cao could endure all the time!

……

After Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai joined, the development speed of Dongjun accelerated a lot.

Whether it is military or internal affairs, they are all well organized!

Cao Cao was very pleased, but he did not forget Yang Ling's merits, and sent Dian Wei over many times to send him various delicacies as a reward.

However, such a good day did not last long, and soon Cao Cao received 100,000 urgent news.

Black Mountain Thieves Invade East County!

……

In the lobby.

Cao Cao looked at the silk cloth in his hand, his face was gloomy,

"What do you think?"

Guo Jia stood up unhurriedly and said softly,

"Lord, according to his subordinates, this time the Black Mountain thieves attacked, it must be because the lord raided the Huang Mansion before."

"Now that winter is about to begin, the Black Mountain thieves will not be able to survive this winter without the relief of the Huang family and other scholars."

"The safest thing is to defend the city and not take the initiative to fight the Black Mountain bandits."

"When it gets colder, they'll break themselves!"
