Guo Jia, the ghost of the strongest military division

Chapter 1328 Chapter [-] The Golden House

Soon, Lunu City appeared in front of everyone.

Guo Jia looked at the city with infinite emotion in his heart.

At the beginning, Guo Jia came to Zhongshan as a poor man. In order to buy this prefect, he sold the Guo family's century-old foundation in exchange for this Zhongshan prefect.

During the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, official positions were clearly priced.

The prefect is a high-ranking official with two thousand shi. If he wants to buy it, he has to pay millions to 2000 million to Xiyuan.

2000 million is of course a relatively wealthy place. Zhongshan is already a border county, and it is often threatened by nomads. Few people are willing to come here to become officials.

Therefore, the prefect of Zhongshan is also relatively cheap, almost only equivalent to the price of a county magistrate in a wealthy county.

When they first heard that Guo Jia sold his ancestral foundation to buy a prefect in a remote place, everyone thought he was crazy.

At that price, you can buy a county magistrate or something in a rich land.

Although the county magistrate is small, it is also a key position, and it is very convenient to make money.

In a few years, the money for buying officials can be recovered.

But Guo Jia chose a border county where no shit was a thing, and no one was willing to delegate the official positions here.

Even Shi Changshi himself didn't expect that someone would spend money to buy this place, so he sold it with a big stroke of a pen without even thinking about it.

It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that Guo Jia achieved a lot of dominance precisely because of this innocuous border county.

The current Lunu County has long surpassed the scale of ordinary counties, and it is not too much to call it a big city.

Whether it is scale, population or economic aggregate, it is completely comparable to Xudu, Luoyang, Xiangyang, and Chengdu.

pity……

Guo Jia suddenly shook his head.

The mission of Lunu City is over, and he will now move his capital to Luoyang, because the location there is better.

"Supplier Lord, return in triumph!"

Xi Zhong, Zhang Zhaoxin, Ping and others have already greeted him.

Every time Guo Jia came back, they would come to greet him.

Today is no exception.

Suddenly, Guo Jia went back and forth for more than a year.

This time, the harvest was rich.

Not only won Hanzhong in northern Sichuan, but also included Liangzhou and Yongzhou in the territory.

This territory suddenly increased by almost three states.

Not only that, but auspiciousness came from Chang'an City.

This is a good sign.

Today's Guo Jia is already an extremely human minister, and if he is promoted one step further, he will be the emperor.

Although the lord is no different from the emperor, he has no status after all.But as soon as the auspicious incident happened, the fame would be there.

Once the lord ascended the throne, they also rose with the tide.

Therefore, these people also supported Guo Jia's ascension to the throne.

"You are welcome!"

Guo Jia smiled, and stretched out his hand to support several people.

After not seeing each other for a year, he also felt that a few people were kind.

My lord, my lord!
It was a figure who stumbled over and ran over, it was Gu Yue.

I just heard him shout excitedly: "We are back, we are back from Fusang."

Ah!
Seeing Gu Yue, Guo Jia couldn't help but tremble.

Three years ago, he gave Gu Yue ten large ships and [-] soldiers with enough supplies to cross the Pacific Ocean to the opposite America called Fusang in ancient times.

This is a difficult road.

Although Guo Jia has already built a compass and a pointed ship, he has also created dehydrated vegetable technology and pickling technology, which solved the vitamins and all other necessary supplies for the sailors.

But crossing the Pacific Ocean is still a dangerous business.

Fortunately, Gu Yue came back alive.

Just be back!
Guo Jia excitedly held Gu Yue's hand.

"Tell me, tell me, what did you bring back?"

America is definitely a blessed land that surpasses heaven and earth.

There are many, many amazing crops growing there.

Such as corn, sweet potato, potato, pumpkin, peanut, sunflower, pepper, tomato, kidney bean, upland cotton, tobacco and so on.

Corn, sweet potato, and potato are all high-yielding crops, especially sweet potatoes and potatoes, which are basically uneven.

As long as you transplant rice seedlings and sow seeds, you can have a harvest.

Especially those wastelands that are not suitable for growing grain can safely be used to grow these crops.

With these, the barren land in the north can support more people.

Peanuts, beans, and sunflowers are high-oil crops. The introduction of them can improve the current shortage of oil crops.

Pumpkin tomato pepper, these are indispensable food supplements.

As for upland cotton and tobacco, they are all high-value crops.

The reason why Guo Jia went to the Americas was to bring back these miraculous crops in the Americas, so as to improve the big man who was in short supply.

Got it back, got it all back.

Gu Yue shouted excitedly: "We have a smooth journey, and we arrived in Fusang Kingdom soon. The gunboat bombarded his mother a few times, and immediately frightened the natives. They thought we were gods, so they were as filial as sons. Treated with delicious food and drink all day long, we don’t want to come back.”

This guy talked eloquently, but suddenly changed the subject: "However, this subordinate can't forget the lord's kindness of knowing you, so he resisted all opinions and brought everyone back. Although Fusang is good, it can't stop my subordinates from arguing about it." Yunzhou's loyalty."

very good!

Guo Jia nodded in satisfaction.

He didn't take Gu Yue's show off either.

The people who went to sea were all carefully selected by him from the Yunzhou Army. Their families were all in Yunzhou, and Guo Jia was not afraid that these people would not come back after going.

"Tell me quickly, what have you brought back, let me see quickly."

Guo Jia couldn't wait any longer.

My lord, don't worry!
Gu Yue smiled and said: "This time, we have prepared a big gift for our lord, and it's almost finished now. You just need to go in and have a look."

is it?

Guo Jia was a little dubious when he saw this guy's trickery.

Xi Zhong and Zhang Zhao looked at each other, and couldn't help showing a smile on their faces.

They also have a share in this great gift.

Originally, they wanted to celebrate Guo Jia's triumphant return, but after the auspicious incident in Chang'an City, everyone agreed that it should be a gift to Guo Jia.

Soon, Guo Jia, accompanied by everyone, walked into the General's Mansion.

This……

Guo Jiadeng was blinded by the light.

I saw that the whole room was golden.

Golden walls, golden seats, golden pillars, golden floor tiles.

Gold, all gold!
Just seeing the fineness of things, Guo Jia knew it was real gold.

There is no such thing as a fake in this era.

Guo Jia couldn't help touching the pillars, which were covered with gold foil, and tapped on the floor tiles, and the bottom was also paved with gold bricks.

A huge golden chair stands in the center.

This chair weighed at least one or two thousand catties, and it was inlaid with countless precious stones.

Except that the tiles on the top floor are not covered with gold ornaments, the rest are covered with gold.

Gold House!
This is a veritable house of gold.
