But at this time, Youjian Villa did not implement any countermeasures.
People are opposed to Youjian Villa, but after all, Youjian Villa is only open to the public as a summer resort during the hot summer months. During the rest of the time, Youjian Villa is mostly operated as a restaurant.
Even if the people of Yecheng don't come to Youjian Tavern to eat and drink, the high-quality pork from Youjian Pig Farm is sold in all directions - besides, because of Yi Xiaotian's promotion at that time, some of the special meat dishes in many restaurants are often from Youjian.
A practice spread from Jianshan Villa.
Although you boycott Youjian Villa in name, you are surrounded by Youjian Villa everywhere in your life.
So this is one of the reasons why Youjian Villa has not counterattacked, but more importantly... the current Youjian Villa does not really focus on internal friction.
At least there is a villa in Yecheng. If the people involved are not in Yecheng now, even if there are changes, it will basically be insignificant.
The first thing Guo Jia did was simple to say the least, which was to transfer the assets of Youjian Villa outside Xudu City.
This does not mean that the Youjian Villa here will be demolished, but that part of the original villa infrastructure will be transferred. The purpose is obvious, which is to build another Youjian Villa.
But this time the location is not in the north, nor in Jiangdong...but...
——
Hanzhong.
It has been nearly three years since the Battle of Hanzhong.
In the past three years, Jiang Wan has gone from a newborn calf who was looked down upon by many people to now firmly holding his position as the prefect of Hanzhong. Because Cao Cao established the country years ago, Jiang Wan has the highest official position and the greatest military merit in Hanzhong.
Naturally, he has received a commendation from the imperial court, and now he has been given the title of general - General of Hanzhong, which sounds much more domineering than the prefect.
However, such an enviable promotion speed did not make Jiang Wan lose the humility and caution he should have.
In fact, in the past three years, he has not rested on his reputation for defeating Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang and waited for death. Neither his pride nor his rationality allowed him to do so.
Not to mention that he still bears the trust of noble people——
…
"Have you heard that there is a war going on over there in Jiangdong!"
Hanzhong recovered well after the war. Although a fire burned down all the luxurious pavilions in Hanzhong City, it was just like the chaos in Chang'an... After the disaster, people's beliefs were not burned, as long as there were reliable officials above their heads.
Without any glitches, ordinary people can show their full enthusiasm for life.
Today, people are coming and going in the streets of Hanzhong. Even if the weather is still cold in early spring, at this time, instead of staying at home and sleeping in, people still prefer to come to the corners and alleys to see familiar friends and have a cup of tea and chat.
It's a homely routine, so uncomfortable.
In a teahouse at the market end of the street, some men who went to the city to sell vegetables or wait to do part-time work gathered together, and someone suddenly said this.
"Oh, I've also heard that Liu Bei is restless again and wants to take advantage of the civil strife in Jiangdong to take over Jiangdong in one fell swoop."
"ah?
Is there such a thing?
Is Liu Bei crazy?
If he dares to do such a thing in front of Duke Cao, is he not afraid that Duke Cao will also send troops to attack him?"
People talked about it word by word, and now they no longer have any resistance or prejudice against the fact that they are Wei people and are under Cao Cao's rule.
In their opinion, there is not much difference between Cao Cao and the Emperor, or... in fact, most people have forgotten the existence of the Emperor.
No matter what, if someone starts talking, someone else will pick up the conversation:
"That is to say, your news is too late. Liu Bei has been beaten away by the Jiangdong people. I heard that he is on the way to retreat now, and... just like who said, the reason why Jiangdong was able to defeat Liu Bei is
It’s because of Duke Cao’s support.”
"Damn it, Liu Bei is like this, always daydreaming. It used to be Jingzhou. I heard that they borrowed Jingzhou to mess around with people in Jiangdong. Now they hang on and make the people in Jiangdong hate Liu Bei and the others.
; Later, when I saw that the Jiangdong side had ceased operations, I made up my mind to go to Hanzhong again, and that was the time before..."
"After fighting back and forth, Liu Bei either lost or lost. I really don't know what was going on in this guy's head... Isn't Mr. Cao ruling the world better than the incompetent emperor?"
"Hey! Don't say this nonsense... Be careful that people in the palace hear it..."
"Afraid of a bird! Who doesn't know that the north belongs to Duke Cao?
If you ask people like Liu Bei to admit his mistake to Cao Cao as soon as possible, maybe the world will be at peace."
Hanzhong is far away from Xudu and even further away from Yecheng... Although some people are still taboo about talking about the world's trends and the current emperor,... most people have long since thought that the existence of the Han emperor is not necessary.
Yes.
After all, compared with the big policies that Cao Cao launched every now and then to benefit the people, the world under the control of his Han emperor in the past could not even compare to the prosperous toes of Wei State today.
The eyes of the people are sharp.
Listening to the people in the teahouse talking about all kinds of nonsense, a young scholar sitting at the door drank all the tea in the tea bowl, slapped two big coins on the table and silently stood up and left.
When the waiter saw me, he was about to come over and clean the table, but he saw two big coins on the table... They were obviously silver.
"Hey! Objective! It's too much! It's just a bowl of tea, why..."
I was about to call out to the scholar who was walking out of the door, but he waved his hand without looking back, indicating that he didn't need to look any further.
The waiter froze on the spot, a little confused, but also felt lucky...but...
"Hey...why does that person look so familiar?"
Jiang Wan walked leisurely on the road. It was his habit not to wear official robes. He was still wearing the scholar's shirt he brought from Lingling. The indigo fabric on it was a little white due to age.
, but the fit is the best, besides...
Besides, these were clothes that his mother had sewn for him before he left home, so he was reluctant to change them.
Along the way, Jiang Wan saw all kinds of people and passers-by in Hanzhong, because there were mostly pedestrians, and since a boat route and a post road were opened between Hanzhong and Chang'an, more and more people came to Hanzhong from outside the customs.
This is a good thing. When people move, there will be economic circulation.
Economic circulation will also drive the spread of culture and various news.
However... just as the people in the teahouse talked about, the reason why Jiang Wan did not return directly to the government office today, but took a detour to the teahouse to rest, is because... he has actually been a little nervous recently.
——
Pushing open the door of the mansion, a jingling sound came from the prefect's mansion.
It was a bit noisy, but Jiang Wan was not surprised.
He walked towards the wing area in the backyard, and as soon as he entered the gate, he saw a figure like a hill blocking his eyes.
And the figure's voice was as loud as his size... even a little deafening:
“You really can’t take me into Sichuan with you?
Sir, what you are saying is that if something really happens, it’s just Brother Ma, and I’m worried that he won’t be enough!”
Of course... although the sound was loud, it contained a strange sense of grievance.
"Master Hou, are you begging Miss Zhaoji again?"
Hearing Jiang Wan's voice, "Xiaoshan" turned his head, and a simple and honest smile appeared on his aggrieved face.
"Gong Yan! You are finally here. Please help me beg for mercy. Miss Zhao Ji...sister-in-law! Madam! They will set off at noon today. If I don't let them take me with them, there will be no chance!"
