The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 2 Relief for Refugees
After returning to the shabby room at home, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai drank heavily for half the night, fell asleep together, and did not wake up until noon the next day.

The purity of alcohol in ancient times was not high, and there were not many aftereffects after a hangover. Guo Jia got up, washed and tidied up and left the house, just in time to see the crowds on the street.

When Guo Jia was in a daze, a handsome young man in blue shirt came to Guo Jia and asked, "What is Feng Xiao thinking?"

Guo Jia suddenly woke up, turned his head to look, and sighed: "Wen Ruo, how many refugees are here today?"

The handsome young man in the blue shirt was Xun Yu. He said solemnly, "I'm afraid it's not less than ten thousand. There have been natural disasters in the Central Plains for years, and there is a severe drought this year. The harvest may be less than [-]% of the previous year. The people in many places cannot eat enough. It’s hard to hide your body.”

Guo Jia sneered and said, "I don't know how many buckets of grain rotted in the granary of the wealthy family last night."

Xun Yu was silent and speechless, he knew that Guo Jia had a prejudice against the family, no, it cannot be said to be prejudice, it should be said that Guo Jia's views on the family were sharp, but it was hostile to others.

The two returned to Guo Jia's house together, just as Xi Zhicai had woken up and was playing the piano in the house, Guo Jia and Xun Yu didn't bother, just sat quietly on both sides, closing their eyes and listening.

The music played by Xi Zhicai has a harmonious tone, and the atmosphere is even more majestic, which makes the listener's heart agitated, high-spirited, and lingering for a long time. Xun Yu even praised in his heart: Wen Zhicai played The joy of knowing one-third of one's ambition, the great ambition and the high ambition, if used properly, there is no limit!
After the last sound of the piano settled, the room was silent for a long time. After a long time, Guo Jiacai and Xun Yu let out a sigh of relief, calming down the excitement in their hearts. Xi Zhicai also took a silk cloth to wipe his hands.

The three of them get along regardless of seniority, no distinction between high and low, they just communicate with each other, so there is less flattery and admiration, and the red tape is not taken to heart. This is what makes the three people's friendship rare.

Serving the guests with three cups of tea, Guo Jia asked Xun Yu, "If Wen Ruo came here, why?"

Xun Yu felt ashamed in his heart, and said with embarrassment: "After the funeral of my mother, I have guests at home and it is inconvenient to go out. Here, one is to apologize..."

Before he finished speaking, Guo Jia interrupted him with a smile.

"If Wen doesn't have to be like this, I just know what you want."

Xun Yu showed a wry smile, and continued: "Secondly, my father has come forward to deal with the Guo family. From now on, there will be no more troubles in the Guo family. In addition, I will give you a thousand acres of fertile land to comfort your mother's pain."

After hearing this, Guo Jia laughed loudly and said, "A thousand acres of fertile land? The Guo family is really deceiving people. My family is poor and I have no servants. Who will cultivate a thousand acres of land?"

Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu also smiled wryly. If it were someone else, I'm afraid at least they would be happy for a long time. After all, it is a thousand acres of fertile land, but the one in front of them is Guo Jia, who has quick wit and quick wit, and he understands the mystery in a blink of an eye.

"Then Fengxiao, what do you mean?" Xun Yu asked nonchalantly. He knew that Guo Jia had a countermeasure. He even thought about what he would do if he were in Guo Jia's position. It was nothing more than selling the land. The key is who to sell to.

Before Guo Jia could answer, Xi Zhicai said angrily: "The head of the Guo family is so hateful that he wants to humiliate and serve filial piety! Hateful!"

Xun Yu and Guo Jia looked at each other, smiling very much, Guo Jia's heart brightened, but he still asked, "What does Zhicai mean by that?"

Xi Zhicai rolled his eyes at Guo Jia and scolded with a smile: "Guo Fengxiao, you know better than anyone else. What the Guo family did was nothing more than letting you sell the land to them in exchange for money. Yingchuan Junjie said that you, Guo Fengxiao, are arrogant. Now if you sell the land for money, you will be ridiculed by others. You sell it back to the Guo family, which is a great shame! Selling to others, you will also lose their reputation, and you will be humiliated by others. If you don’t sell this land, the fertile land will be abandoned, it will be ridiculed by others According to the evidence, it is said that you Guo Fengxiao is nothing more than a scumbag, you can speak eloquently but you can only talk about it, and a thousand acres of fertile land can't be managed, so why talk about other things?"

"Hahahaha..." Guo Jia and Xun Yu laughed loudly. The three of them had already thought about this matter in their hearts. The pros and cons of the pros and cons have already been well known. problem.

"Feng Xiao has a countermeasure in mind, why not say it out? I can't come up with a perfect plan after thinking about it." Xun Yu looked directly at Guo Jia to see what good plan he had.

Xi Zhicai is also very curious about how Guo Fengxiao, who is full of tricks, can solve this problem.

The calm Guo Jia pondered for a while and then said: "Wen Ruo, although I am young, you know my heart. At this time, I have a heartless request. I hope Wen Ruo can help me again."

The curious Xun Yu thought about it: Is Feng Xiao going to sell me a thousand acres of fertile land?No, this will also be practical, then?Gift me?This is a way, but it's hard to hide the suspicion of Guo Fengxiao's clinging to him.

"If there is any difficulty in being filial piety, just say it, and I will not refuse to do what I can do." Xun Yu said sincerely.

After thinking for a while, Guo Jia said, "Please Wen Ruo lend me a year's worth of food for my family of [-] families."

Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai looked puzzled, neither of them expected that what Guo Jia said was not what they expected.

"Well, it's okay, I can decide this matter, but I'm very curious about Feng Xiao's thoughts on whether Feng Xiao can tell you what's in your heart."

Xun Yu agreed without hesitation, but just like Xi Zhicai, he was thoughtful and surprised.

Guo Jia laughed and said, "The Guo family is just someone who expected me to have no arable land. As long as this problem is solved, why worry?"

As soon as these words came out, Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu understood, and they thought of the refugees begging for food.

The three of them stopped talking, looked at each other for a while, and suddenly laughed in unison. After laughing, Xi Zhicai clapped his hands and praised: "Following this kind deed of filial piety, one can make the Guo family's plan come to naught, and the other can accumulate virtue to help the people. It is infinite merit.”

However, what Guo Jia had in mind was not limited to what Xi Zhicai said, and there were more, we will see for ourselves in the future.

Although Guo Jia and Xun Yu were close friends, the matter of borrowing food was extremely solemn, and he wrote a document and pledged it as proof, agreeing to return it in installments within three years.

One month later, the [-] mu of fertile land under Guo Jia's name and the [-] mu of land owned by the family have been cultivated by labor, and simple living rooms have been built beside the woods not far from the farmland, the largest of which is In a wooden house, there was the sound of reading aloud.

Standing outside the house, Xun Yu's face was calm, but his heart was uncontrollably ups and downs.

Guo Fengxiao, what a genius!

I am only ten years old, but dare to teach and educate the poor in this simple wooden house. I don't know if these nearly a hundred children will repay Guo Fengxiao's painstaking efforts in the future!
Guo Jia had just finished his lecture and walked out of the wooden house. He happened to meet Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai. Xi Zhicai was invited by Guo Jia to come to teach. After all, he was alone and had nothing to worry about. accept.

On the contrary, Xun Yu was born in a noble family, so it was impossible for him to let go of his dignity to do something that was ridiculed by the wealthy and famous families. Due to his limited status, there was nothing he could do.

"Little Grandpa, I've been talking all morning. I'm afraid my mouth is dry. Come, little Grandpa, please drink water." Xun Yu handed over a glass of water jokingly, his eyes full of teasing.

Guo Jia rolled his eyes at him, slandering him endlessly: that old man who suffered a thousand knives!

A few years ago, there was an old Taoist who had a relationship with Guo Jia. He said that Guo Jia was the reincarnation of Jiang Taigong, so he had the title of "Little Grand Duke". With a great reputation, there are good people digging deep into Guo Jia's past, trying to understand Guo Jia more, so the title of this little prince was also found out. Fortunately, the three hundred refugees he helped all called him "Guo Jia" little grandpa.

"Feng Xiao, how did you come up with all these things? I, Xun Yu, have seen a lot in recent years. I have occasional interviews with great sages and wise people in Luoyang, Kyoto, but you are the only one who can come up with these things. Guo Fengxiao."

Xun Yu was referring to the method Guo Jia used to teach those seven or eight-year-old children, using pinyin for literacy, formulas for arithmetic, etc., all of which surprised Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai. He can read a thousand characters in one month, and he can draw inferences from one instance. The progress of his knowledge is astonishingly fast.

Guo Jia smiled wryly and said: "Wen Ruo, don't make sarcastic remarks. Teaching and educating people is a long way to go. Although Zhicai often said that I have a shortcut to teach these children to become great talents, there is no limit to learning. Even if you and I add The three Zhicai are tied together, how dare they say that they know all the knowledge in the world? Now these children are working hard with gratitude, I only hope that in the future when they have no worries about food and clothing, they will not feel lazy and lazy."

Xun Yu nodded in understanding, and just when he was about to say something else, he saw a handsome old man approaching from a distance. The old man held his snow-white beard with one hand, and while he was amazed, his eyes turned to the farmland and the farmhouse by the forest. turn to.

Guo Jia just followed Xun Yu's line of sight inadvertently, but his expression was shocked, and he hurriedly ran towards the old man.

Xun Yu stretched out his hand to stop Guo Jia from asking for clarification, but he was a step too late, his hand was empty, and when he looked again, he was stunned.

I saw Guo Jia rushing directly in front of the half-hundred old man, stretching out his hand to grab the old man's snow-white beard, and said viciously: "Old man, I miss you so much!"

The old man grinned his teeth in pain, tears welled up from the corners of his eyes, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai aai

Guo Jia didn't let go, and said angrily: "It's fine if you are bluffing, why did you say that I was the reincarnation of Jiang Taigong back then? Now everyone calls me Little Grandpa, do you know what Grandpa means?"

Grandpa generally refers to little daddy, little grandpa. Guo Jia always gets called that, so he is naturally impatient. Besides, he thinks that finding a wife will be a problem in the future!Otherwise, as soon as the woman meets, she will call out first: "Little Grandpa!"What about Guo Jia?Should you come down?That girl-picking game is out of the question, and she has grown up for no reason.Shouldn't you come down?It's too rude and ruins the first impression.

And the source of the matter is the old Taoist who looks like a fairy in front of him!
Just listen to the old Taoist continue to beg for mercy: "Little friend, let go, you will pluck out this old man's beard! The old Taoist Zuo Ci will accompany you first. If we have something to say, let's talk first, okay?"

Zuo Ci?Guo Jia was taken aback for a moment, and the strength in his hand was loosened. The old Taoist Zuo Ci immediately raised his head and chest, stroked his beard with one hand, and became a master.
