At Liu Cheng's house, after three rounds of wine and five dishes, Liu Cheng looked at Guo Jia in front of him and said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Guo Jia immediately confirmed that those people were sent by Uncle Liu Huang in front of him.
Uncle Liu Huang in front of him knew all about his whereabouts in Guanzhong.
At the same time, he also knew that the time had come for Uncle Liu Huang to test himself.
Perhaps Uncle Liu Huang really trusted Xun Wenruo extremely.
And also saw Xun Wenruo’s talent.
That's why I'm so concerned about myself, the person recommended by Xun Wenruo.
Such importance.
Such a high standard of reception was given.
However, relying solely on the respect brought by outsiders will not last long.
If you want to continue for a long time, you must have real talent and learning.
As the saying goes, to make iron you need to be strong yourself, this is the truth.
Guo Jia put down his chopsticks, quickly sorted out his thoughts in his mind and said, "Uncle Huang, to be honest, Guanzhong is really exciting.
My trip this time was from Yuan Shao in Jizhou.
Along the way, we passed through Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places. Only with the experience there can we realize more strongly how good Guanzhong is today.
How exciting.
This kind of vitality was something that even when the big man had not reached this level, he had never really had it.
I once heard someone say that the dragon veins in Guanzhong that had been dormant for a long time began to revive.
The theory of Wangqi is not credible, but sometimes, we can see something from it...
The scenery in Guanzhong is fascinating.
But while it is fascinating, there is a crisis looming behind it.
It makes people worry that this exciting scene cannot last long..."
"...to have such a scene in Guanzhong, the emperor's wise uncle deserves the greatest credit.
Attacking and suppressing aristocratic families is also an important part of it.
This land is limited. The more land owned by aristocratic families, the less land held by the common people.
The less land the people own, the less food they produce.
The common people have little food in their hands, but they have to bear the taxes that the wealthy families have to bear...
The people are getting poorer and poorer, and they are becoming more and more unable to survive.
But those wealthy families are getting richer and richer...
Are these wealthy and powerful families really of great use to the court?
There are definitely some good effects, but more of them are bad effects.
I won’t talk about the rest, just talk about the current situation.
Now that the big man has become what he is now, these aristocratic families of the big man have played an indispensable role in it...
There is such a scene in Guanzhong, and the emperor's uncle's attack and suppression of the aristocratic family also played a great positive role...
But... these aristocratic families are able to exist for such a long time because they have support and confidence.
The fundamental reason is that they have cultural heritage and can cultivate talents.
We cannot govern the country without them.
Otherwise, there would not have been super big families with four generations and three fathers, such as the Runan Yuan family and the Hongnong Yang family.
Of course, aristocratic families are not all made of iron, and one group can be used to deal with another group...
But these only treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.
Did the emperors in the past do this?
They do the same thing.
Some even directly use cool officials.
But the result is still that the aristocratic family is getting bigger day by day...
This is where the biggest crisis I feel lies.
If we cannot fundamentally solve the problems of the aristocratic families, then the situation in Guanzhong from now on may not last long..."
After Guo Jia spoke for a while, he paused and continued: "In addition, there is another problem, which is still the problem of land.
Generally speaking, when a dynasty comes to an end and is in the early stages of turmoil, everything is in ruins.
At this time, as long as there is not too much turmoil, the entire country will be prosperous.
Overall it seems relatively calm.
One of the main reasons for this is that after the previous great turmoil, many people died and a large amount of ownerless land appeared.
Land annexation is not particularly serious.
But with the development of time, during a stable period, the population will develop rapidly.
As the population continues to increase, the land remains the same.
And at this time, the original aristocratic families or powerful country gentry gradually developed and occupied large amounts of land through various means...
At that time, the land that many people can own will become even less.
Once a person cannot survive and life is very difficult, all kinds of things will easily happen.
This is also human nature...
You can't ask people who can't survive to starve to death...
At that time, the court's tax revenue will also be greatly reduced...
To be honest, this problem seems to be the fundamental problem.
If such a problem cannot be solved, then even if a new dynasty is really established, I am afraid that it will be destroyed again in one or two hundred years, or if it takes some time..."
Guo Jia looked at Liu Cheng and said this.
Liu Cheng sat there and nodded.
I feel very good about Guo Jia.
This is indeed a person who has left a great reputation in history and is called a genius.
Although I am young and still affected by historical limitations, it is extremely difficult to be able to see these things under such circumstances.
Guo Jia deserves to be Guo Jia.
"Fengxiao's words are really shocking. Through the vitality of Guanzhong, you can see the crisis behind it, and you can even see the fundamental thing of land...
What Wen Ruo said is right, Feng Xiao is indeed a great talent."
"Now that we see the crisis, does Fengxiao have a solution?"
Liu Cheng looked at Guo Jia and asked.
After hearing Liu Cheng's inquiry, Guo Jia seemed a little silent.
"Uncle Huang, Guo Jia is stupid. He can only see the problems of the aristocratic family, but he can't think of a way to replace the aristocratic family...
What I said is in vain. A wise and powerful man like the emperor must have seen this a long time ago. Otherwise, he would not have directly attacked the wealthy families in Guanzhong, Yizhou and other places.
Put restrictions on them.
As for the subsequent increase in population and the shortage of land, I do have some thoughts.
The most fundamental one is to find new places suitable for development and survival, and incorporate them into the Han Dynasty to increase the land of the Han Dynasty.
Then a series of methods were used to assist.
Let people live in this newly conquered land.
In addition, you may try to develop some businesses...
However, these are not easy to do.
Especially new land.
When that time comes, I'm afraid there will be all kinds of things that will involve each other. Whether it can really be realized depends on whether the emperor at that time has the courage and means..."
Hearing Guo Jia's words, Liu Cheng nodded again.
Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao are indeed extraordinary.
Many things were brought to the point.
To solve the contradiction between man and land, on the one hand, we need to increase land.
On the other hand, it is the development of industry and commerce.
It will separate many people from the land.
Not engaged in the farming industry
In this case, the contradiction between man and land can be greatly alleviated...
Liu Cheng spoke up and praised Guo Jia again.
Guo Jia shook his head and said that he could not deserve such praise from the King of Han.
After talking for a while, Guo Jia looked at Liu Cheng and said: "Uncle, I wonder if you have any solution for the aristocratic family?"
When he asked this question, Guo Jia actually didn't expect to get a particularly good solution from Liu Cheng.
After all, aristocratic families are really a difficult problem to solve.
Even if Uncle Liu Huang's performance is extraordinary, it can only be contained to a certain extent, but it cannot really solve the problem from the root.
This matter involves too many things.
The most fundamental thing is that there is no existence that can replace it.
Moreover, the existence that can replace it needs to be better than the aristocratic family.
If it is not as good as a wealthy family, then it is better not to replace it.
But Guo Jia still asked.
Deep down in his heart, he still wanted to hear something extraordinary from Uncle Liu Huang.
Although he himself felt that this would basically never happen...
Liu Cheng couldn't help but smile when he heard Guo Jia's question. Guo Jia just hit the point.
Isn't this trying to shock him and convince him?
Immediately he said: "I really have some immature ideas about this matter..."
Hearing this, Guo Jia couldn't help but feel happy, and hurriedly said: "I don't know if this is appropriate for people to know..."
Liu Cheng smiled and said: "Fengxiao is not an outsider. It's okay for Fengxiao to know what he said. It's just right for Fengxiao to help me see what my immature thoughts are like."
Liu Cheng said and stood up: "Fengxiao, please follow me to the study. I'll ask Fengxiao to read something."
After hearing this, Guo Jia stood up and followed Liu Cheng out of here, heading towards Liu Cheng's study.
As I walked, I kept thinking about what Uncle Liu Huang and I were looking at.
Something that has a miraculous effect on dealing with wealthy families.
A lot of ideas came to mind for a while, but he rejected them one by one...
After a while, Liu Cheng led Guo Jia to the study room.
Reaching out to close the study door, Liu Cheng walked to an inconspicuous corner of the study and took out a few books for Guo Jia to read.
Guo Jia took it and saw that the book was very brand new.
I lowered my head to look and saw the three characters "Three Character Classic" written on the top of the book.
Three Character Classic?
What kind of classic is this?
Why haven't you heard of it?
After taking out the silk and wiping his hands carefully, Guo Jia opened it.
In the beginning, human beings are inherently good. Their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart...
An article can be read in no time.
After reading it, Guo Jia's heart ached.
For a knowledgeable person like him, articles like the Three Character Classic naturally seem very simple.
But it was precisely because of its simplicity that it caused waves in his heart.
After reading the Three Character Classic again, he couldn't wait to open another book.
There are three big characters written on it: "Disciple Rules".
Disciples' rules and sages' instructions. The first is filial piety, the second is caution...
After reading the disciple rules, the waves in Guo Jia's heart became more intense.
It became a shock.
After putting down the disciple's rules, he opened the fable again.
The fables inside are simple and easy to understand, but Guo Jia read them with great interest.
Although this thing is simple, it can make people gain some life principles and has educational significance.
Put down the fables and turn on arithmetic.
The imperial uncle's numbers in arithmetic made him feel very novel.
Although I thought it was very novel and strange, with the uppercase and lowercase letters there for comparison, I quickly mastered it.
This first volume of mathematics book is basically about the four basic arithmetic operations. Guo Jia naturally knew it at a glance.
However, the vertical calculation method was refreshing to him.
After holding it and looking at it for a while, I gradually understood its magical function.
this……
This emperor's number, combined with this vertical calculation method, is really useful!
Just do the calculation directly, it’s so much easier!
When calculating small numbers, you can't see it yet, but when it comes to calculating big numbers, you can experience its benefits.
It seems that after a while, I put down the arithmetic and picked up "Nature" again.
When I saw the title of this book, I couldn't help but be stunned. For a moment, I didn't understand what it meant.
nature?
Is this about practicing Taoism?
Tao follows nature.
Is this a book about Taoism?
With this feeling in mind, I opened it and watched it.
Then I realized that I had thought wrong before.
This is completely different from Taoism.
Just after opening it, Guo Jia's eyes immediately fell on the map and couldn't move away!
Especially after seeing some of Liu Cheng’s comments above, I couldn’t move away from it.
There are huge waves surging in my heart.
The world is so big?
The big man is not the center?
In addition to the big man, there are so many places?
Sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes...
This... what kind of magical species is this?
Guo Jia's whole body was trembling.
If...if these are true, if we can get all these things to a big man, then...
That kind of sight is really amazing!!
"Uncle Emperor, this...are these all true?"
He looked at Liu Cheng and asked for confirmation, his voice trembling.
Liu Cheng nodded and said: "Of course it's all true.
This map will have errors in details, but there will be no difference in general outline and orientation.
Species are all true..."
After getting the definite answer from Liu Cheng, Guo Jia seemed extremely excited.
For a time, he thought of many things, and his thoughts wandered far away.
When Liu Cheng saw this, he smiled in his heart.
Sure enough, this thing had a great impact on the ancients, especially those smart people...
After a while, Guo Jia finally regained some composure and came out of this extreme shock.
Guo Jia did not speak immediately, but walked to the side, faced the wall, thought for a while, and then looked at Liu Cheng and said, "Uncle Huang, are you planning to teach these to others and use them as enlightenment?
"
Liu Cheng nodded.
Guo Jiadao: "These things from the emperor's uncle are indeed very good, and the ideas are also very good...
But...I'm afraid that when the time comes, the effect it can have will still be small..."
