Chapter 236, the merit is immeasurable
What do you think?
Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun glanced at each other, and then fell into deep thought.
After a while, Zhang Fei took the lead in coming out of his thoughts: "A little dizzy." ”
Guo Jia: "......"
You don't have to say it at all.
Zhao Yun opened his eyes, shook his head and said, "The last general doesn't know the meaning of the military division. ”
Liu Bei also shook his head, he couldn't grasp Guo Jia's point, after all, the sea of stars is not popular in this era, and they are only on the river at the moment, not the boundless sea.
Guo Jia said seriously: "After the world is unified, what plan does the prime minister plan to do next?" ”
Liu Bei pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "Since you should work hard, cultivate the people's livelihood internally, attack Hulu externally, recast Emperor Wu, and make Emperor Xuan strong." ”
Although he didn't know why Guo Jia was in a hurry to ask this, he still said what he thought.
Guo Jia nodded, what Liu Bei wanted was in line with what the emperor of this era did, and then asked rhetorically: "What about after that?" ”
"After that?"
Liu Bei was puzzled.
In his view, the re-domination of the world is nothing more than a recuperation, and then the expansion of territory when the country's finances allow.
Could it be that Feng Xiao wants me to be reckless?
But in this way, it is the innocent people who suffer after all, even if Liu Bei obeys Guo Jiayan, he will never agree to this matter.
Who knew that Guo Jia said: "Has the prime minister ever thought of sending a fleet to encourage merchants, fishermen, ordinary people and even high-ranking officials and nobles, and princes and princes to explore the boundless sea?" ”
Sea area?
The three looked at each other again.
In this era, people's understanding of the boundless sea is still very limited, and there are two seas bordering the land of China, the East China Sea and the South China Sea.
However, at this time, the people of the Han Dynasty still knew more about the East China Sea, and the southern region had not yet been explored, let alone the South China Sea.
People's perception of the sea is still limited to the vastness of the sea, with a wide variety of seafood, and that's about it.
Oh, by the way, there was also the time when Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu to the sea to visit the immortal mountain and seek the method of immortality.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei hesitated and asked, "Isn't Fengxiao wanting to live forever?" ”
Guo Jia was stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "How can there be a so-called immortality in this world, I just want to tell the prime minister that the overseas world is far broader than we imagined." ”
"There are foreign countries, foreigners with white skin and blue eyes, black skin and white teeth, and these are worth exploring."
"How so?" Liu Bei asked, and immediately pondered.
"The world is vast, before Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, did we know about this Silk Road?" Guo Jia asked rhetorically, this rhetoric is the same as when he explained to Zhen Mi at the beginning.
Liu Bei nodded, feeling that this was not unreasonable.
"Why does the advisor know this?" Zhang Fei asked about the point.
Liu Bei's eyes flashed, as expected, the old immortal was going to be taken out again.
"It's no secret that the old immortal has a long life, has traveled to the sea several times, and has seen countless overseas countries......"
Guo Jia doesn't know if this rhetoric can be concealed, in short, use it first.
Liu Bei had deeper doubts in his heart, not to mention that the old immortal was old, whether he could bear the pain of the voyage. Can the warships of the Han Dynasty really sail on the seas?
If he sees through it or not, he only thinks it is true, so he sighed: "The old immortal is worthy of being a land fairy-like figure, and his broad knowledge is admirable." ”
Zhang Fei said curiously: "Could it be that the old immortal in the mouth of the military advisor is the old god stick?" ”
He has a close relationship with Guo Jia, so he has also had a few encounters with Nanhua Laoxian. However, the other party took a "reversal of fate", which made him tired of it.
Now it sounds like this person is actually an old fairy with real skills?
Liu Bei explained: "The old immortal lived in Fengxiao's mansion back then, but then he traveled all over the world. "For example, the situation has changed again and again, and the princes of the Quartet have risen together.
After years of baptism, the Yellow Turban Rebellion has gradually been forgotten. In addition, with Liu Bei's current strength, there is no need to hide it anymore.
"It's not a secret, the old immortal is going west this time to seek the benefit of the Han people." Guo Jia took the opportunity to propose the whereabouts of the old immortal.
In the past few years, he has sent several teams to look for potatoes, but most of them have not been heard from. Later, by chance, he proposed this kind of crop with abundant grain to the old immortal, and the old immortal immediately couldn't hold back.
He muttered, "If there is such a thing in the world, if the old immortal brings it back, it will definitely benefit the common people and make immeasurable merits." So the next day, the old immortal disappeared, leaving only a letter, claiming that he had gone to find merit.
After Guo Jia saw the letter at that time, he couldn't help but start to doubt himself.
Is this old man a god, or a real fairy-like figure?
"Fortune?" Liu Bei was surprised, could it be that this old immortal could really call the wind and rain?
Guo Jia nodded, and said with a straight face: "Exactly, Lao Xian claims that there is a crop overseas, and the grain production is far better than that of my Han Dynasty, if I can bring it back and improve it slightly, it may be able to double my Han grain production." At that time, even if there is a natural disaster, the people will not be without food, and our Han will definitely be richer. ”
"Really?"
Liu Bei was surprised and delighted, and his face was extremely solemn.
Since ancient times, food has been a major national issue.
If it's in a time of peace, it's just a matter of good weather and good weather. If it is in troubled times, or when natural and man-made disasters occur frequently, there will be a great famine, or even a scene of changing children and eating.
What is Prosperity?
In this era, the prosperous era is that every household can eat enough and have a little surplus food.
Guo Jia shook his head slightly: "This is what the old immortal said, and I don't know it below, but I have already sent someone to the sea to find it, and I just need to wait quietly." ”
The more you say, the easier it is to make mistakes, in contrast, Guo Jia is more willing to prove it with direct results, which can also avoid doubts from the outside world.
His words today are just to give Liu Bei a preventive shot, so as not to bring too much impact when the old immortal returns in the future.
Zhen Mi on the side had a complicated face and was preoccupied.
Because she found that Abba's explanation of the prime minister was different from what she said to herself, the character of Lao Xian did not mention a word.
So Abba lied to me?
No, the result is basically the same, but the person who raised the overseas matter has changed.
Is it Lao Xian, or Abba himself?
Zhen Mi fell into thought.
The group sailed on the river for a few hours, and Guo Jia immediately proposed the difference between navigation in the sea and the river, and asked Zhen Mi to try to improve it.
"You might as well let Zizhong also send someone to help."
Liu Bei suddenly opened his mouth to intervene in this issue, in fact, he didn't really want to intervene, but he had to take into account Mi Zhu's feelings.
However, with Zhen Tuo joining the back house, he can't treat the Zhen family harshly.
The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, so what can I do?
Guo Jia said with a smile: "This move is very good, the two great riches of the Han Dynasty work together, and this banknote is enough to solve all problems." ”
