When Guo Jia heard this, he suddenly realized. No wonder Daqian began to flourish, especially biographies, which have become more numerous in recent years. It turns out that all of this is to loosen the bonds of his family!
Guo Jia knew that the path Sima Yi was looking for was not suitable for the powerful nobles of the Han Dynasty. After all, there were not many officials in the Han Dynasty who could truly show mercy to the people and hold their own bottom line like Sima Zhi. If the Han Dynasty were all officials like this, the Han Dynasty would The dynasty of Han Dynasty will not be destroyed. Most of the officials are just like the Yuan Shao brothers, lawless, greedy and self-righteous, which is why the Han Dynasty was destroyed.
Then Guo Jia thought of his own family. The Guo family of Yangzhai was a wealthy family in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The family passed down the law of criminal law and majored in "Xiao Du Lv". It had great influence. His family usually served as Sili Xiaowei. , Tingwei and other legal-related official positions.
But what makes Guo Jia helpless is that in the past few decades, his family members have become three ministers, nine ministers, and governors, but there are not many who can be regarded as virtuous ministers. After all, those who study law like them have always been in the Han Dynasty. They all think of themselves as eagle dogs, and they always hug the emperor's lap. However, among the emperors behind the Han Dynasty, none of them can be considered wise. Naturally, eagle dogs like them cannot have a good reputation!
Guo Jia secretly said: "It seems that it is impossible for the family to return to the Central Plains in a short time!"
Xu Shao was not aware of Guo Jia's inner thoughts, but continued: "The Sima family is lucky to have Sima Zhi. At that time, there were too many mediocre and corrupt officials in the Han Dynasty, whether they were noble nobles or eunuchs. We gnawed at the big man unscrupulously, and finally the big man died in our hands!"
Xu Shao was the host of the Yuedan Commentary back then. He naturally knew the virtues of the descendants of the noble families he commented on. Most of them were mediocre people. He had to find ways to find the talents among them. The slightly talented ones were like Yuan The brothers of the clan are all very ambitious. They are no longer satisfied with the position of the three princes and nine ministers. They all want to overthrow the Han Dynasty, but they have never thought that their current status is all because of the Han Dynasty court!
After the last chaotic period, the Han Dynasty was smashed to pieces by them. Maybe Lei Gong saw this, so he didn't accept them!
At first, they all felt that the big man was not good and that the big man restricted the development of their family. Only when the big man disappeared did they realize what they had lost!
Xu Shao and Guo Jia were very happy when they found out that Guo Jia was a subordinate of Cao Cao and they came here just to find a source of money. At the same time, Guo Jia also told them about being squeezed by profiteers!
Xu Shao said calmly: "Well, I will introduce you to the shopkeeper of Zhen's Shipyard. Your Crab Island does not sell logs, but the shipyard also needs logs, especially logs that are more than a hundred years old. It is said that sea-going ships of more than 10,000 stones need logs that are hundreds of years old to make keels. You can sell the logs directly to the shipyard, leaving these profiteers no opportunity to take advantage!"
After speaking, he gave Guo Jia a famous card and said: "Take this, the people at the shipyard will let you in!"
Guo Jia excitedly took the famous assassin and said: "Jia, thank you Master Xu!"
next day
Guo Jia came to Zhen's Shipyard with Xu Shao's famous assassin, and Guo Jia, who had Xu Shao's famous assassin, also met directly with the director of the shipyard. After Guo Jia explained his intention, the director of the shipyard was also very happy. The shipbuilding industry exploded in 2008, and various shipyards were working hard to build sea-going ships and gain a direct reputation.
As we all know, the larger the sea-going ship, the safer it is. Therefore, major shipyards are also working hard to build large sea-going ships. If you want to build large sea-going ships, the keels and masts of the ships need to be long and strong. This requires Hundreds of years of log manufacturing.
Not only are there a small number of giant logs like this, but most of them are in Liaodong. The local shipyards bought these logs away. In order to reduce competitors, they will try their best to prevent the century-old logs from Liaodong from flowing to Youzhou. , this makes it difficult for Youzhou's shipyard to be a clever woman, so the arrival of Guo Jia made the factory director happy!
The two parties traded directly with them to reduce the price difference earned by middlemen. Guo Jia even reached a supply agreement with Youzhou Shipyard. Crab Island provided high-quality logs, and Youzhou Shipyard provided them with 10 sea transport ships worth more than 5,000 stones. !It can be said that this is a win-win deal!
After completing the transaction, Guo Jia told Crab Island's specialty sulfur, and the factory director said he could help him contact the gunpowder factory director.
What happened next was extremely smooth. The director of the Gunpowder Factory, Guo Jiajian, said that he could provide high-quality sulfur at twice the price now, but he would need to go to Crab Island to transport it. The director of the Gunpowder Factory agreed on the spot!
With the conclusion of these two transactions, although there was no indication of the sulfur and log output of Crab Island, the profits earned were more than five times higher. It can be said that the mission assigned by Cao Cao was successfully completed.
Then Guo Jia relaxed. In the next few days, he kept wandering around Jidu. He wrote down all the things he saw in Jidu every day, and then brought them back to Cao Cao and the others on Crab Island, asking them to comment on Da Gan. Strength and clear understanding.
At the same time, he also connected with the remnants of the Han Dynasty in Jidu through Xu Shao's relationship. There were quite a few people who were members of the Han Dynasty in Jidu before. Especially after the Dagan occupied the three states in the south, everyone in the world knew that the Han Dynasty It is no longer possible to revive.
In this way, scholars from all over the country flocked to Jidu, hoping to find an opportunity to enter the Daqian court! Unfortunately, they all tried in vain.
Scholars in this era are all related to the noble families. Even the poor families themselves are affiliated with the noble families. There are not many people who are really stupid to study, but they are extremely rare. After all, the noble families block books, even if there are civilians who want to study, they can find them. There are no books to read.
Xu Wei would not use people who were related to the noble families, so even when these people came to Jidu, they were extremely disappointed. In their view, the imperial examination was extremely simple, and they could easily pass it, but... They are not eligible to play!
Lei Gong is different from previous emperors. He not only conquers the world on horseback, but also governs the world immediately. He is willing to spend all his time training his own officers and country folk, rather than using them as scholars! So every time Guo Jia participates in such events Their complaints can be heard at the assembly!
"The world of Daqian will definitely not last long. How can anyone govern the world on the horse? Do those reckless men know how to govern the world?" A scholar said sadly!
"We are the ones who are good at governing the world. Thunder Lord, this is the yellow bell that destroys it, and the earthen cauldron thunders!"
Guo Jia saw such a scene for the first time and asked Xu Shao in a low voice: "Is it really okay for them to do this?"
He was also worried about being implicated and caught by Da Gan!
But Xu Shao said with a hint of sadness and anger in his mockery: "In the words of Thunder Lord, this is the cry of a defeated dog. How could Thunder Lord care about this!"
