The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 78

(Thanks for the endless melancholy of the empire, waiting for the continuation of the years, zcr_gm's reward, I have a cold, I have a little less, I apologize)

****************
After listening to Yuan Shang's words, Guo Jia's expression seemed very indifferent.

Bluffing, talking nonsense, and flooding victims, how can they create a plague?Absurd!
As if seeing the disdain in Guo Jia's eyes, Yuan Shang smiled slightly, and said, "If I say this, I think you won't believe it. You look like you are also a member of the county government office, and you probably know the inside story. Then I Let me ask you, on the side of the nearest moat, are there any victims who have some diseases on the head or abdomen?"

Guo Jia was stunned for a while when he heard the words, but Yuan Shang's words were quite to the point. Since he arrived in Licheng, he occasionally heard that many of the disaster victims outside the city had dysentery and headaches. I have never kept it in my heart.

Seeing the change in Guo Jia's expression, Yuan Shang knew that his guess was almost inseparable, and continued: "It seems that my guess should be correct. I think there should be many refugees outside the city suffering from dysentery and headache. The root cause is that, firstly, it is because the weather becomes colder, which makes them prone to diseases; secondly, the physical fitness of the people affected by the disaster becomes weaker, as long as there are few external evils entering the body, they are prone to illness; thirdly, the method of resettling the victims is improper. The disaster victims are stationed in one place, and the diseases are transmitted from one to another, from small to large, and over time, it is not impossible to cause a plague."

Guo Jia is a first-class strategist, but he has little understanding of people's livelihood, but he is not ignorant at all, and he encountered the Yellow Turban Rebellion when he was young. And without knowing it, for some unknown reason, many victims of the war famine suffered from stubborn diseases, and the disease spread more and more widely, and gradually there was a momentum of plague.

After thinking for a long time, Guo Jia finally opened his mouth and said: "Since ancient times, plagues and diseases must have a source channel. Since you said that you can tell one, two or three points, then let me ask you, what is the source of this stubborn disease in Licheng? know?"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly, and said inscrutablely: "If I don't know, how dare I babble here?"

"Oh?" Guo Jia's spirit was lifted, and he said, "Try to say it."

Facing Guo Jia's questioning gaze, Yuan Shang sighed, then stretched out his left hand, spread out the palm of his hand, gave Guo Jia a slight hook, and gestured twice.

"What do you mean?" Guo Jia blinked in confusion.

"Such a confidential question, let me say it for nothing? What a shame! Are you embarrassed?" Yuan Shang smiled brightly with a red mouth and white teeth.

Guo Jia gasped when he heard the words, stared at Yuan Shang in surprise, and said in disbelief, "You asked me for money?"

Yuan Shang pursed his lips, and said: "This is not a good thing to say, what do you mean asking for money? This is the courtesy of the virtuous corporal, and it should be shared."

He stared blankly at Yuan Shang for a long time, but Guo Jia finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said with a smile: "Interesting, interesting, Guo has never met a wanderer like you and me for many days, then you Tell me, how much do you want?"

Yuan Shang heard the words and thought about it carefully, then turned his head and shouted into the restaurant: "Shopkeeper, pay the bill!"

"Come on!"

The bartender of the wine shop came trotting like flying, with a sweet smile on her face, she said to Yuan Shang and Guo Jia: "A cauldron of steamed vegetables and a pot of good wine, the total is consistent, are you satisfied with the two gentlemen?"

Yuan Shang nodded, then turned his head to look at Guo Jia, and said with a smile: "As a courtesy, the asking price is the same. Your Excellency is glamorous, so you won't be so cheap. You can't even get a little money for a meal, right?"

This guy is really, really interesting
Guo Jia shook his head with a smile, then casually took money from his pocket, pointed out and threw it on the table for the wine lady to take away.

The corners of Yuan Shang's mouth turned up, and he cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the meal, sir, and I will definitely repay it in the next day."

"Hey, it's okay to invite you to dinner, but what you said about the source of the plague just now needs to be reasonable and accurate! If it's correct, someone will treat you to this meal. If you're wrong, hehe, The consequences are beyond your imagination."

Yuan Shang straightened his back slowly, pinched his fingers and pretended to be illusory and profound, and said: "Receive money from others, and eliminate disasters with others. Naturally, I understand the rules of Taoism, but I haven't asked Your Excellency Gao's name yet? How should it be called?"

Guo Jia was also half-playful at the moment, and said, "It's easy to say, a certain surname is Guo, and I am the fourth in the family. You can call me Guo Si."

Yuan Shang picked up the wine cup and took a sip, and said: "Mr. really lives up to his name. Such an elegant name is really rare. My surname is Yuan, and I am the third eldest in my family. You can call me Yuan." Three."

"Yuan San Guo Si." Guo Jia rubbed his white chin, thought carefully for a while and said, "Judging from the names alone, you and I are quite destined to each other haha, that's all, that's all, tell me, this If there is a plague in Licheng, where is the source?"

Yuan Shangqing cleared his throat and said, "Little Four"

Guo Jia: "."

"Do you know the moat outside Licheng?"

Guo Jia nodded: "Of course I know. Could it be that the source of the disease is somehow related to the moat?"

"That's natural, otherwise why would I say it? Si'er, when I entered the city just now, I found that the moat outside Licheng hadn't been dredged for a long time, and the head of the running water at the gate of the city was blocked. The filth is so full that you don’t even need to use the suspension bridge to get in and out of the city. It’s almost solid. Now there are no houses in the city, and all the victims live in tents by the moat. They defecate in the river every day. The canal has become a stinking ditch, and after such a long period of time, the filth will linger in it, accumulating for a long time, and the moat can easily become a source of disease and cause plague."

Guo Jia narrowed his eyes and said, "The moat is the source of the disease."

Yuan Shang nodded and said: "That's right, human diseases and plagues are all caused by messes and mistakes. Right now, it is not enough to just help the victims. The moat needs to be filled quickly to prevent the plague from really breaking out. It's too late to regret it!"

Guo Jia is a smart person, after carefully pondering Yuan Shang's words, and then connecting what he had seen and heard with the current situation of Licheng, his heart suddenly became clear.

What this son said hits the nail on the head, the moat has been seen several times before, but it is dirty and filthy, with an unbearable stench.

Thinking of this, Guo Jiafang wanted to say a few words of praise, but when he suddenly saw Yuan Shang's smiling face, his heart woke up, and he swallowed the words back.

"Well, it's your luck, boy, that you've got the key point, let alone the crime of chewing your tongue, so let's not mention it." Guo Jia said something casually and ambiguously, but there was no lack of praise in it.

Since Yuan Shang arrived in Licheng, he saw that the moat was filthy and the victims in the surrounding area were weak. He knew that if he didn't deal with it in time, it would easily lead to the expansion of the disaster. He couldn't bear it, but Licheng was not under his jurisdiction. Meeting such a person who looks like an official in the city, and then leaking his thoughts to him through his son, can be regarded as saving the lives of the people in the surrounding area, accumulating some evil virtues, and being able to eat a meal by the way, which can be regarded as luck and providence.

Guo Jia sat for a while full of thoughts, and finally couldn't help but want to go back and arrange the affairs of Tianhe. After a few words of politeness, he got up immediately and said: "Guo is urgent, so I won't bother you here today, take your leave .”

Yuan Shang also stood up and cupped his hands: "Little Si, walk slowly, I will see you off soon."

Guo Jia was stunned when he heard the words, and then showed a bright smile that he hadn't seen in many days, and said, "You don't need to be polite, Xiaosan, I hope you and I will meet again in the future."

Yuan Shang's face froze. Xiaosan?Why does this title sound so awkward?

Shaking his head, throwing out the miscellaneous things in his mind, Yuan Shang nodded and said: "Mountains don't turn around, water turns, whether you see it or not depends on your fate in the future."

Guo Jia wondered if he was born or not, then turned around and left, but he felt a little emotional in his heart. For some reason, Guo Jia unconsciously felt a little more about this young man who was wearing a black shirt, handsome, and acted casually. I like it a little bit, and I always feel that there may be a day when we will meet again in the future.

Yuan San Yuan San can actually make up a name like Yuan San. He is really an interesting character.

After Guo Jia left, Yuan Shang also looked at his back, remained silent for a long time, and felt a little touched in his heart.

Guo Si, such a bitter name, although it is fake, it is true to its name
But for some reason, looking at this person gave me an indescribable feeling in my heart, like liking, speculation, familiarity, and attention.
He had obviously never met before, and the conversation just now was very short, but this person gave Yuan Shang a different feeling from the inside out. He couldn't explain clearly, but it left a deep impression on him.

Who is this troubled young man?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the little wine lady in the wine shop walking towards Yuan Shang with a smile, Qianqian stretched out her hand slightly, and said with a smile: "Mr. has finished eating, and there are five pieces in total. I wonder if you are satisfied with it?"

Yuan Shang nodded and said: "Yes, the wine and food are delicious, and the service is thoughtful, and I am quite satisfied, but there are still two aspects that need to be strengthened. First, a pot of wine and a dish are not worth five dollars." Are you cheating? Second, little wine lady, go back and have a look, the dinner and wine for this table have already been paid for."

The little wine lady's smile remained unchanged, and she said with a charming smile: "Mr. reminded, the little girl naturally remembered that she had paid for the food and wine, but when the gentleman in white who was sitting with you was leaving, he took a The pheasant, and specifically ordered that the chicken money be charged to the husband's account."

Yuan Shang's face suddenly became stiff: "Chicken?"

The little wine lady nodded heavily: "Chicken!"

After being silent for a long time, seeing Yuan Shang suddenly slapped the table in annoyance, he choked up with rare distress and said: "Every year hunts geese, and today let the geese peck their eyes! Careless! Careless."

The little wine lady asked curiously: "Sir, what are you talking about? It's not a wild goose, it's a chicken, a five-piece chicken."
