For a whole day, Guo Jia didn't say a word to Jia Xu again.

It's not that he doesn't want to talk to Jia Xu, it's just that he's already fallen into deep contemplation.

Today, Guo Jia has a lot of thoughts in his mind.

All kinds of thoughts, including doubts about his original ambitions, made Guo Jia feel miserable.

Obviously, his goal has been achieved, why is he not more confused than before he achieved his goal?

This afternoon, Guo Jia had been pondering there, but Jia Xu didn't pay attention to him.

Jia Xu just sat there, watching the so-called Spring and Autumn Romance, and he was very happy to watch.

It wasn't until it was close to evening that Jia Xu stretched his waist.

He turned his head to look at the sky, and then said to Guo Jia: "It's almost, it's almost, it's time to get down." ”

"Oh......"

Guo Jia seemed to react, he turned his head in distraction, and looked at the sky like Jia Xu.

Seeing that the time had indeed come, Guo Jia slowly stood up and walked outside.

"Wait a minute."

Jia Xu suddenly spoke up and greeted Guo Jiadao.

Guo Jia turned his head suspiciously: "What else is the matter with Wen Hegong?" ”

Jia Xu let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "You, you, I thought you were a fellow traveler like the old man, and the old man thought that he had found a confidant as smart as himself, but now it seems." You're also a muddy person. ”

Guo Jia laughed when he heard this.

"Wen Hegong, why did I become a good person?"

Jia Xu's smile seemed a little helpless: "You may not realize whether you are now, but you may know in the future." ”

"Don't come to the agency tomorrow, it's nothing anyway, how about the old man invite you to go out for a walk?"

When Guo Jia heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little pain in his teeth.

What do you say you do every day?

It's good, if you don't talk about it all day, you can just don't come.

But since Jia Xu had already invited him, Guo Jia naturally couldn't refuse.

"Since Wenhe Gong has this Yaxing, then let's go to play together, but where are we going?"

Jia Xu said: "You don't have to worry about where you go, the old man will decide." ”

……

……

So, on the second day, Guo Jia and Jia Xu did not go to the office, and the two of them took a car to the southern suburbs together.

Today's snow has stopped, and the weather is okay.

But since both of them were sitting in the car, they didn't move much along the way, so they still felt cold.

Guo Jia deliberately brought a gourd container to hold wine, and a few sips along the way can also have the effect of keeping out the cold.

"Wen Hegong, don't you want to drink some?" Guo Jia poured another sip from the wine gourd to his mouth, and then asked with concern.

Jia Xu shook his head very resolutely: "Don't drink." ”

Guo Jia asked, "Aren't you cold?" ”

Jia Xu said: "It's cold, and I don't drink it." ”

Guo Jia looked at Jia Xu with some puzzlement.

But I saw Jia Xu turning his head slowly, and said: "Drinking is such a thing, sometimes it is too delayed, and it is easy to reduce your lifespan." ”

Guo Jia smiled: "It's too much, why don't I know about this?" ”

Jia Xu's expression was very serious: "Why don't you say you're still young." ”

Then, he reached out and patted Guo Jia's shoulder, and said, "The lord said, drink less wine, drink more tea, live a little longer, maybe there will be a chance to see the world flourish again." ”

Guo Jia couldn't help laughing: "How do you talk about it?" Wen Hegong, where are you going to take me? ”

Jia Xu stroked his beard, and the old god said: "Don't worry, it's about to arrive." ”

Then, Jia Xu asked people to stop the car, and he walked down trembling first.

Guo Jia followed Jia Xu.

After getting out of the car, he found that he had arrived with Jia Xu next to a vast farmland on the outskirts of Luoyang.

In winter, the area around Tianmu, which should have been deserted, is now surrounded by a group of people, including Liu Jian, Liu Bei, Lu Zhi, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, and a large group of local officials in Luoyang.

These people stood on the edge of Luoshui, under the explanation of a local official in Luoyang, pointing at the nearby fields, as if they were discussing something.

Guo Jia, led by Jia Xu, walked not far behind them and listened to what they were discussing.

Later, Guo Jia probably understood that they were discussing the construction of a water conservancy project near Luoshui to divert Luoshui water to irrigate the farmland near Luoyang.

At this time, the local official in Luoyang had already finished introducing the general situation in the vicinity, and waited for Liu Jian and the others to give instructions.

Liu Jian seemed to be a little cold, he reached out and blew his frozen and stiff hands, and then commanded:

"Mr. Gonghe, let's explain our experience in Hebei to the local consul."

"No."

Then he stood up with a smile, cleared his throat, and said to the officials present:

"Over the years, under the leadership of General Zuo, in addition to the implementation of tuntian and ensuring that the land will not be barren and ownerless, in terms of farming, the main thing is to work together to study how to make the yield of fields higher."

"Instead of cultivating more land, if you can increase the yield per acre of land, you can not only save the cost of reclamation, but also increase the harvest with the same cultivators."

"We have done a lot of research in various agricultural technology workshops in Hebei and printed them into books!"

"The current Qingzhou Book Company, in addition to publishing scriptures and some romance books, the lord has also set up another column for printing, and it is widely popularized among the people."

"It's called 'Science & Technology.'"

"The so-called science and technology books and periodicals are mostly books of technology for the people, covering a wide range of aspects, including farming, hunting, manufacturing, breeding, medical treatment, smelting and many other aspects, so that the people's wisdom can be broadened and production can be enhanced."

"And in science and technology books, the lord attaches the most importance to agriculture."

"After all, our Han Dynasty is a big farming country."

"One of the most effective measures Hebei has taken to revitalize agriculture is the large-scale construction of water conservancy projects."

"According to our practice, if we can make full use of natural water sources such as rivers and lakes to build water conservancy projects so that farmland can be effectively irrigated, the yield of grain per mu will be greatly increased.

"In addition, Hebei now uses the water-lifting irrigation method to drive water wheels and other equipment through human or animal power to lift water from low to high places in areas where water sources are insufficient, and then water is introduced into the fields through canals."

"This irrigation method has high irrigation efficiency, specially used for irrigation in plain areas, my Hebei is the plain of a horse and Pingchuan, with this method can greatly increase the yield, and the terrain near Luoshui is close to Hebei, it can be completely imitated this method."

"Mr. Tian Yuanhao has also established a complete set of water conservancy management systems based on these irrigation methods,"

"including the construction and maintenance of water conservancy projects, the distribution and management of water sources, and the taxation of water resources",

"Don't underestimate these systems, just simply increasing irrigation technology to expand agricultural production cannot guarantee the follow-up, there must be a set of mature and experienced methods, in order to achieve a virtuous circle, so that it can be sustained."

Many things were very new to these officials.

In particular, there are a lot of words in the discourse that they have not heard before.

But they can still understand the general meaning.

The officials of Luoyang stepped forward one after another to express their gratitude to Liu Jian.

Liu Jian said with a smile: "General Ben will stay here for a while, and I will be here during this time to promote our latest cultivation methods in Hebei and make this place rich." ”

"However, there is still some preparatory work to be done, I hope you can match the bridge, so that the local noble family in Luoyang can communicate effectively with us, after all, most of the land in Luoyang is still in their hands, and they need to fund it to develop water conservancy."

"Of course, Li Shu at the bottom can't be ignored, I need you to pick out people with unique farming experience from the bottom of the farmers, come to me to exchange experiences, and there are other skilled craftsmen who can come, everyone brainstorms."

“……”

“……”

Liu Jian and others discussed with these local people in the bitter cold about the management of the local irrigation and water conservancy in Luoyang, while Guo Jia and Jia Xu were watching not far away.

Guo Jia looked at Jia Xu a little uncertainly: "Luoyang is just a place for General Liu to temporarily settle down, I discussed with General Liu last time, he thinks it is not the best opportunity to occupy Sizhou, after all, once this place is occupied at this time, it will easily become the target of all forces, and Dong Zhuo will definitely fight to the death with Hebei, so that Yuan Shao can gain the benefits of the fisherman." ”

"Since General Liu doesn't want to hold Luoyang in his hands, why do you have to spend a lot of effort? What about the local agriculture in Luoyang? After all, there will be a bumper harvest in Luoyang next year, and the grain is not from Hebei. ”

Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled: "This is the pattern of the general." ”

"Although the general is opposed to Dong Zhuo, it does not mean that the general is the enemy of the people under the rule of the imperial court."

"The general's ideal is to create a strong Han Dynasty, a Han Dynasty that can allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and a Han Dynasty that can stand on the top of the whole world and make thousands of alien races around the Han Dynasty bow down."

"Even if the world is divided, the common people are not the enemies of the general, on the contrary, the general often says that the people are the real support of the general."

"At present, although Luoyang is not in the hands of the general for the time being, the people here have long been regarded by the general as their own people."

"And the old man believes that what the general has done will definitely make the people of Sizhou remember his kindness!"

"Come back the next day, won't the people of Li here eat pot pulp to welcome the general?"

"Bonghyo, do you know what it's called? This is the foundation of the king! ”

Jia Xu's words made Guo Jia feel deeply shocked.

"General Zuo is so selfless?"

Jia Xu smiled: "Naturally, this is lofty ambition, this is the heart of the world." ”

Guo Jia looked at Liu Jian not far away.

"It's a pity that Guo usually calculates people's hearts and scheming as the best way, but only now do he know that he calculates people's hearts and others...... may be able to get the world, but what you get is just a world full of holes after all. ”

"Only know how to plan the world, but don't know how to govern the world, after all, it is too shallow."

"What can really soothe the people has to be the royal art of Haoran righteousness."

Listening to Guo Jia's self-talk, Jia Xu smiled.

"What you said is right, like you and me, who are good at magicians, if you have been planning properly, you can also get the world, but after all, there is no royal righteousness for a long time."

"But this doesn't mean that there is no conspiracy and trickery in the royal qi."

"These two things actually complement each other."

Guo Jia was finally conquered by the far-reaching insight of the old man Jia Xu.

Although he usually prides himself on being a wise man unparalleled in the world, but after coming under Liu Jian's command, he has seen two people who can surpass him in such a short period of time.

One is Liu Jian, and the other is Jia Xu in front of him.

Guo Jia stretched out his hand and pulled Jia Xu aside.

"Please also ask Mr. Wenhe for advice."

Jia Xu looked at Liu Jian's group not far away.

"The old man's meaning is also very simple, General Liu is indeed concerned about the people, not only the people of Hebei, but also the people of Luoyang, he helped Luoyang to build water conservancy, irrigate farmland, and pass on their technology, in terms of royal road, it is indeed hoped that the Han Dynasty can be strong! I hope that the local people in Ruoyang can live a better life. ”

"However, there are some other reasons behind the exercise of the royal way, although it is not the royal way, but it does not conflict with the royal way."

"For example, why did General Liu use this matter to contact the Gaomen of the Wang clan through the local officials in Luoyang? Even these technologies in Hebei have been painstakingly researched by us over the years, and there is no problem in handing them over to use, but they can't be handed over in vain. ”

"The local wealthy households in Luoyang control most of the land, and if we use our technology to build water conservancy and increase irrigation income here, will they benefit the most?"

"Since they have the most to gain, then they have to pay some?"

"The old man is in Hebei, and he has understood one thing over the years."

"Technology can also be sold for money! Technologies that include management are also technologies. ”

"This is all what we Hebei people have spent time pondering, and the local people in Luoyang have no problem using it, and we can contribute people and technology to help them."

"But they have to give us the same value in return."

"You can say that it can be goods, but it can also be food."

"But you can't afford not to give it."

"The old man thinks that with the wisdom of the local nobles in Luoyang, they naturally know which is more important."

"The old man thinks they shouldn't be stingy in this matter."

When Guo Jia heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Then, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Would General Zuo really think so in his heart?"

Jia Xu glanced at Guo Jia with slanted eyes.

"Fengxiao, don't talk nonsense, when the old man said that it was General Zuo who said it, it was clearly the words of the old man's own family."

"Forehead ......"

Guo Jia listened to Jia Xu's words and was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, I listened to Jia Xu say slowly: "It's not just this matter that is the old man's exclusive opinion. ”

"The old man has many other opinions!"

"For example, if there is such a big war in Sizhou this time, although it has not hurt the root, the local nobles in Sizhou have also seen some signs."

"They should understand that all the major forces in the world regard Sizhou as a piece of fat, and the eyes of all forces are gathered here, when will this Sizhou become the next Yanzhou...... Dilapidated, impoverished, displaced. ”

"If the old man were from these local families in Sizhou, he might have thought about Fa'er and started to migrate."

"This place really can't be stayed."

"But where should we move there?"

"The ones that can be chosen are none other than Guanzhong and Hebei. and the lands of the South. ”

"For those big families who have entanglements of interests with the Yuan family, they will still choose the south where the Yuan family is located, after all, Hebei and Guanzhong are now thoroughly implementing the new policy, which is not in line with their interests."

"But after all, that's just a few of the top families, and most of the families have no interest in the Yuan family, at most they just admire it."

"At this time, if Hebei can lend a helping hand to Sizhou, let these small and medium-sized wealthy families see the rule of Hebei's royal road and General Zuo's broad mind...... There is also the infinite future of Hebei. ”

"Where do you think Bonghyo will choose to move to?"
