The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 192
Staying in Lishan for a few days, Guo Jia went out hunting with the generals during the day, and enjoyed the soup pool together at night, plus Diao Chan, this trip to Lishan had unexpected fun and comfort.

When returning to the gate of his own mansion in Chang'an, Guo Jia looked at the completely new mansion and smiled knowingly.

The rich people in Yizhou invited Guo Jia to Lishan. It cannot be said that it was ingenious. The purpose was not just flattery. They brought a large number of skilled craftsmen to Chang'an to build mansions and shops. The problem lies ahead.

As the supreme ruler here, Guo Jia's mansion is ordinary, and if the Yizhou wealthy family wanted to build a more magnificent mansion, it would be a bit overwhelming. This kind of embarrassment problem cannot be directly approached by Guo Jia.

So they tacitly invited Guo Jia to Lishan, and together with Fa Zhengyi, they rushed to renovate and expand Guo Jia's mansion from the inside to the outside during the days when Guo Jia was out.

At this time, Guo Jia should not be low-key. He is not a minister, but a master.

The spacious and luxurious mansion appeared in front of him, and Guo Jia didn't mind that Fazheng made his own decisions, anyway, it was all their own wishes, so as the beneficiaries, there was no need to be picky.

Chang'an began to be rebuilt with the investment of the Yizhou wealthy family. At the same time, Guo Jia's invitation to concubines was also sent to them.

To hold a concubine ceremony in Chang'an, Guo Jia would not go to great lengths to invite people from Yizhou to attend. Besides, it was not about marrying a wife, as long as the ostentation was enough, there was no need to make a lot of noise in the city, everyone knew it.

The wealthy people in Yizhou couldn't help being overjoyed after receiving the invitation. They were not happy for Guo Jia, but for themselves.

Diao Chan used to represent Guo Jia to join the Yizhou Chamber of Commerce, but now being taken as a concubine by Guo Jia will only make Guo Jia and the Yizhou Chamber of Commerce closer.

As for the private affairs of Guo Jia's family, they don't care about it. They don't want to find out why Diao Chan, a beautiful woman who is so beautiful, is only now taken into Guo Jia's house.

Many young children of the wealthy Yizhou family have fantasies about Diao Chan and Xiao Qiao, but no one puts them into practice.

The beacon fire plays with the princes, and the world loses the world with a smile.

A king can perish a country because of a woman, and a family can also perish because of a woman.

The chamber of commerce formed by the wealthy Yizhou clan is developing rapidly. Not only is it flourishing in Yizhou, but it is about to take root in Chang'an. If they get carried away at this time and cross the line of duty, it will not be Guo Jia who is waiting for them. Friendly smile.

Dragons have reverse scales, which will anger them, and so does the monarch.

A family can take risks for huge benefits, but it will never take the risk of being wiped out because of small profits or emotional disputes, or even pink skulls. It is undoubtedly ignorant to do so.

This wedding was more extravagant than when Guo Jia married Zhen Jiang and Cai Yan in the past. It was due to the hospitality of the wealthy Yizhou clan.

Taking in a concubine is a trivial matter for a prince, and it will not spread far and wide, nor will it be a good story.

After the autumn harvest, the Chengdu imperial examinations also came to an end.

Unsurprisingly, Pang Tong stood out. As a rising star carefully cultivated by Pang De Company and Sima Hui, if Pang Tong did not have this talent in writing, he would not be qualified to be called a little phoenix by Mr. Shui Jing.

The Guanzhong people who left their homes due to the war packed their bags in Yizhou, brought cattle, farm tools and belongings and returned to Guanzhong full of anticipation. The promoted officials and newly promoted officials in Yizhou also went to Chang'an one after another to listen and dispatch them.

In early winter, Guo Jia was working in the mansion with a coat on his shoulders, staring at the list of newly promoted officials sent by Chengdu, and considering Xi Zhicai's suggestion.

Among the talents selected by the imperial examination this time, there are only two people who can enter Yizhou Prefecture as officials, Pang Tong and Fei Shi.

Fei Shi is from Qianwei County and is familiar with things in Yizhou. Staying in Chengdu as an official can give full play to his talents. But for Pang Tong, Xi Zhicai sent a document to Guo Jia, hoping that Guo Jia can transfer Pang Tong to Chang'an.

In this letter, Xi Zhicai explained the reason. Pang Tong was always from the Jingxiang family. If he secretly communicated with Jingzhou, it would be a huge hidden danger. The best way to disintegrate the rule is to cooperate with the inside and outside.

Xi Zhicai is well aware of Guo Jia's employment of people without suspicion, but he must be cautious.

Guo Jia can use Pang Tong's deeds in the original history to infer that Pang Tong will not give his life to Liu Biao, but these cannot be used as arguments to reassure Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai hoped that Guo Jia would transfer Pang Tong to Chang'an, since Chang'an is far away from Jingzhou, and Chengdu is even more distant from Jingzhou.Secondly, the officialdom in Chang'an was empty. If Pang Tong went to Chang'an, he would be able to display his talents better than if he stayed in Chengdu, and it showed Guo Jia's generous heart.

At this time, it is time to employ people, and Chang'an only has Xu Shu and Fazheng, which is obviously not enough.

"Yuan Zhi, draw up an order for Pang Tong to be transferred to Chang'an."

Guo Jia gave orders to Xu Shu in the hall.

Xi Zhicai's document is a secret letter, this kind of consideration cannot be discussed publicly, it must be done in private, and it must be airtight.

Xu Shu got the order and immediately wrote in handwriting. Fazheng on the opposite side was a little surprised. He didn't expect Guo Jia to value Pang Tong so much!
But after thinking about it, Fazheng felt relieved, wasn't he himself entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Guo Jia at a young age, and held an important position.

The officials under Guo Jia's command are comparable to the officials under the command of the princes of the world, and they can definitely be called the cutting-edge new school.

Recently, government affairs have become heavy. On the one hand, officials from various places in Guanzhong have to be assigned to take up their posts, and on the other hand, people who have returned from all directions must be resettled.

"How's the situation in the west?"

Putting down the bamboo slips for the time being, Guo Jia reviewed the official documents all morning, wanting to change his mind, so he propped his chin and asked with a smile.

When Fazheng heard this, he smiled heartily and said, "The fierce battle is in full swing. Ma Teng and Han Sui are recruiting troops while suppressing the rebellion. After fighting the east and west, the south is just settled and the north is chaotic. Hehe, the west of Fufeng is extremely lively."

Guo Jia had a smile on his face. This situation was not difficult to foresee, but when it really happened, he was really happy.

"The more they fight, the less room they have to stand up."

Xu Shu thought so deeply, and said meaningfully: "Liangzhou is still fighting, but Guanzhong is peaceful. The people of Liangzhou will flock to it. Even if Ma Teng and Han Sui put down the rebellion and stabilize it, if they want to grow stronger, it will be impossible if they don't have ten years. .”

The three people in the hall looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Guo Jia and Ma Tenghan were called an alliance, but in fact they were wary of each other, so it was impossible for Ma Tenghan to ask Guo Jia to help them put down the rebellion. They were not so stupid as to lure wolves into the house, otherwise they would Guo Jia's army entered the country, and the host and guest changed positions, and their fate was unimaginable.

There are tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land in Guanzhong, but there is a lack of labor. This place can not only attract people from the hometown of Guanzhong who have left their homes to return, but also attract people from Liangzhou to come to escape the war.

After Ma Teng and Han Sui's rule gradually reduced the number of people, they were destined to be at a disadvantage for a long time.

Wars rely on soldiers and horses, and the number of soldiers and horses is based on population.

It takes ten years of life and ten years of lessons for Gou Jian to try his best.

Under the rule of Han Suimateng, the number of people decreased. After the war, more soldiers were recruited, and the efficiency of restoring production was low. If they did not expand their military strength, they were worried, caught in a dilemma, and lost ground.

The layout in Kansai has achieved initial results, and Guo Jia is happy to hear it.

In the eyes of the world today, Guanxi is where Guo Jia, Han Suimateng stand side by side, but in fact, only two or three years later, Guanzhong can be self-sufficient.

Gradually putting away her smile, her expression suddenly turned serious, Guo Jia sighed softly, "I don't know how the situation will develop next spring."

Xu Shufazheng also became serious.

All three of them know that next spring will be a critical moment in deciding to go to Guanzhong.

"Is my lord worried about Cao Cao or Yuan Shao?"

Fazheng asked tentatively.

If the Kanto princes intend to suppress Guo Jia, next spring will be the best time, and it will deal a heavy blow to Guo Jia.

So Guo Jia stays in Chang'an and will not return to Chengdu until at least next spring.

"Cao Cao barely has more than [-] troops. He is based in the Central Plains, a land of hundreds of battles. If he sends a large army to attack, how can he keep his rear safe? In my opinion, it is absolutely impossible for Cao Cao to send troops hastily. However, this man coerces the emperor to order the princes , Judging from his strategy for Xuzhou, it is very likely that he will repeat the old tricks, order Yuan Shao to send his army to the west, and then let Liu Biao attack Chengdu from the south, so that the lord will be attacked from both the north and the south."

Xu Shu's analysis is very reasonable. Cao Cao is a master at driving tigers and wolves away, so there is no accident in doing so.

Guo Jia was not convinced of such an inference.

"Yuan Shao is so inquisitive, but he has a lot of talents under his command. How could those who advise him easily let Yuan Shao be used by Cao Cao? Anyway, Xiao Zhi, you write a letter to Wen Yuan, asking him to keep an eye on the east side at Hangu Pass Youping has practiced in the Zhi army in Badong County for several years, and he must wish that Liu Biao would send troops to attack, so that he can show his might. Hehe, there is no need for Youping to tell him. Go to the news."

Now is an extraordinary period, as long as he survives the initial period after the pacification of Guanzhong, Guo Jia will be able to firmly hold the territory he has acquired in his hands.

"By the way, haven't Xingba and Elai come back yet?"

Guo Jia looked at Xu Shu with a questioning look in his eyes.

Xu Shu's complexion changed, and he said: "The two generals went out to suppress the bandits, and according to the news that they came back at You o'clock yesterday, there is no accident, and they will return to Chang'an the day after tomorrow."

Guo Jia nodded and said nothing.

The territory of Guanzhong has been poisoned by Li Jue and Guo Si for a long time. Many people have turned into bandits, and the bandits and bandits who occupy the mountains as kings are not well-known, most of them are only a few hundred people.

In order to restore peace in Guanzhong, Guo Jia has sent generals out to recruit bandits and bandits for several months.

Before the arrival of the new year, Guanzhong had been cleared by Guo Jiawanli, creating a stable and worry-free environment for the people to live and work in peace and contentment.
