"Wen Ruo doesn't need to feel indignant. This time, those people have misjudged, they will definitely regret it in the future!”Guo Jia quickly regained his composure and said with a smile.
Xun Yu sighed and asked,"Why did Fengxiao say that?"”
"Before coming to the capital, I went north to Jizhou to meet Yuan Shao.”Guo Jia smiled embarrassedly.
Xun Yu was speechless. So you, Guo Fengxiao, are also such a person?
"If my guess is correct, Yuan Shao is not a wise ruler and cannot achieve great things. That's why Feng Xiao came to Luoyang?" Xun Yu said angrily.”
Guo Jia was embarrassed. He smiled and argued,""Wen Ruo is looking down on my character? Since I've promised you, I'll naturally come to the capital without hesitation.
"However, Yuan Shao seized Jizhou with great momentum, so I went to scout out the enemy out of curiosity. It's also doing a little bit for His Majesty!”
Xun Yu also understood the principle of a good bird choosing a tree to perch on, and a wise minister choosing a master to serve. If His Majesty was incompetent, he would not be able to retain talents.
"What's the situation in Jizhou now?" Xun Yu sighed.”
"Yuan Shao is a person who is tolerant on the outside but jealous on the inside. He likes to scheme but can't make decisions. He has talent but can't use it. He doesn't accept kindness when he hears it. He cherishes himself when he does great things.”
Guo Jia was somewhat disdainful of Yuan Shao." But there are still many talents in Jizhou. With the Yuan Family's power, it is still possible to stabilize a prefecture. Wanting to take over the world is definitely a delusion!”
"Does the Yuan Family have the intention to plot against the world? Did you do anything?" Xun Yu frowned and asked.
"If my conjectures are correct, Yuan Shao will soon start a war," Guo Jia said with a smile. Why did the Yuan family spend so much effort to bribe Yue Danping and slander the Emperor's innocence? If there is no reason to send troops, how can we send troops?
"I came from Yuzhou, and Yuan Shu was entrenched in Runan. I don't know who gave him the idea to threaten the Mi family and cut off trade with the capital.
"The Yuan brothers, one in the south and one in the north, are echoing each other. With the Emperor being cruel and heartless, favoring crafty sycophants, and slandering them, do you think the other ambitious and disloyal dukes will respond one after another?”
Xun Yu's face was serious. According to Guo Jia, the chaos in the area was more severe than he had imagined!
Since the Yuan Family could bribe Yue Danping to slander the Emperor's innocence, they must have other plans. When the time comes, the world will be in chaos and the heroes will fight for it!
"Wen Ruo, don't worry too much!" Guo Jia smiled. If you didn't lie to me, and the information is correct, with the elites of the Snow Dragon Cavalry and the stability of Luoyang's eight passes, what can Yuan Shao do if he joins forces with the heroes of the world? They couldn't break through the gates of the capital!
"The only thing I'm curious about is that Yuan Shao cut off the Yellow River's waterway in Jizhou and Yuan Shu cut off the Yangtze River's transportation in Runan. It couldn't possibly cause a food crisis and collapse on its own, right?!”
Because of the inconvenience of roads in ancient times, waterway transportation was extremely important.
Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou and cut off the transportation channel of the Yellow River basin. Yuan Shu occupied Runan and cut off the transportation channel in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
This was the only way to surround the capital and Luoyang in terms of food, salt, and iron!
When Guo Jia mentioned the matter of food, Xun Yu's frowning face revealed a rare smile.""Feng Xiao, come with me and you'll know when you see it! But this matter is confidential. After Feng Xiao sees it, he can forget about leaving the capital!”
"Wen Ruo, are you trying to scare me?" "Bring me there!" Guo Jia said fearlessly. At worst, I'll just settle down in the capital!"
"With the prices in the capital, Fengxiao probably can't afford to settle down!”Xun Yu shook his head and sighed.
"Isn't there Wen Ruo?" Guo Jia said shamelessly. At worst, we eat at the same table and sleep on the same bed!”
"You wish!" Xun Yu shook his head helplessly.
Guo Jia burst into laughter. The two best friends, who had not seen each other for a long time, chatted as they walked toward the plantation.
When he got close to the plantation, Guo Jia noticed the difference. The farmers only needed one person and one cow to plow the land.
"This isn't an ordinary plow, right?" Guo Jia observed attentively.
Xun Yu went straight to the point. This was a curved shaft plow. It was a simple change. The three oxen and several people needed for a straight shaft plow were instantly reduced to one person and one ox. Moreover, it was more time-saving and energy-saving. It was simply a farming divine weapon!”
"This is something that His Majesty invented?!”
Guo Jia was a little shocked. When he saw Xun Yu nod, he said with emotion,""Back when I was in Yuzhou, everyone said that His Majesty was weak and incompetent. Only now do we know that rumors have misled the country!"
"Perhaps His Majesty was enduring it, so even the officials in the court didn't notice.”Xun Yu said with lingering fear,"
"If Fengxiao had experienced the massacre in the northern suburbs and witnessed the Snow Dragon Cavalry's crushing of more than 200,000 Western Liang soldiers, he would probably scoff at these comments.
"With His Majesty's decisiveness and foresight, he is worthy of being a heroic lord!!”
Guo Jia knew Xun Yu very well. His best friend was talented and resourceful. He was definitely a talent for governing the country. Very few people in this world could obtain Xun Yu's evaluation!
However, Xun Yu was not stingy with his high praise for the Emperor. Guo Jia could see that this was not flattery, but truth from the heart!
This made Guo Jia even more curious about Liu Bian. He asked expectantly,""I suddenly want to see His Majesty in court. The more Wen Ruo talks, the more curious I am! Oh right, where will I be working? Has the official document been issued?"
Xun Yu knew that Guo Jia had misunderstood and explained,""Fengxiao, I forgot to tell you that this conscription is not to let you enter the court as an official, but to give you a way to become an official. If your examination results are not good, Fengxiao can go back to where you came from!”
" Exam?!" Guo Jia was stunned for a moment before she woke up."The Imperial Examination mentioned on the notice board?! We recommended talents also need to take an examination and not directly become officials?!”
"It seems that the communication between the capital and the other places has been cut off. They don't even know about this!”Xun Yu shook his head helplessly and explained everything to Guo Jia.
Guo Jia was enlightened, and then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He claimed to be a pedant, talented, knowledgeable and resourceful. He did not expect that in the end, he still had to prove himself through the examination!
However, Guo Jia was extremely smart and understood the advantages of the imperial examination system. Compared to the previous inspection system, the imperial examination system would give scholars a chance to prove themselves with their abilities!
Furthermore, this move would remove the greatest advantage of the gentry in recommending talents. Moreover, the candidates of these examinations would all be the students of the emperor in the future!
"Your Majesty is indeed talented and far-sighted!”
Guo Jia sighed from the bottom of his heart. Then, he looked around and asked quietly after making sure that there was no one around,"Wen Ruo, you and I are good friends, why don't you reveal the exam questions to me first? Wouldn't it be beautiful for us to work together in the future?!”
"Get lost!" Xun Yu was a virtuous gentleman, so he naturally would not do such a shameless thing. Guo Jia was just joking.
Moreover, this test was personally written by Liu Bian, so he couldn't even reveal it.
It was really strange that these two best friends with completely different personalities were actually chatting happily.
At this moment, an uproar suddenly came from not far away.
"Wen Ruo, is there anything surprising over there?" Guo Jia asked curiously.”
Xun Yu looked in the direction of the voice and found Zhuge Zhengwo with a few unfamiliar faces in the plantation. Those people must be the orphans of the Zhuge family and had recently entered the capital.
"Maybe those people know about the production of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn!" Xun Yu said lightly.”
"Sweet potatoes? Potato? Corns? What was this? What's so surprising about the production?" Guo Jia was bewildered. Why was he acting like a country bumpkin in the capital?
"Let's go over and take a look!" Xun Yu did not say much.
