Chapter 224: Convincing Xun You
"Gongda, there is something I don't understand, and I hope Gongda will teach you. The relationship between you and me was good when we were in Yingchuan, and Guo Jia didn't offend Xun Gongda when he asked himself, why do you always raise eyebrows at me? β
Guo Jia was a little puzzled.
Although the two don't deal with each other well, they may not be enemies.
Why does this Xun Gongda have to come to find his bad luck?
"You really don't understand?"
Xun You sneered.
Don't understand!
Guo Jia shook his head.
All right!
Xun Yu pondered for a while and said something, which made Guo Jia suddenly realize.
When he was in Yingchuan, Xun You was as famous as Guo Jia, and they were both rare young talents in the local area.
It's just that the growth paths of the two are a little different.
Xun Yu became famous as a young man, and the three generals all admired it.
but he rejected them one by one.
At that time, the literati had to have a backbone, and they were proud to refuse the imperial court's conquest.
Refusing the imperial court's conquest is, firstly, an inappropriate official position, and secondly, it is also a way to increase fame.
Xun You is no exception.
This is the path that the talented disciples of the serious scholar clan should take.
But Guo Jia is an alternative.
He was originally from a scholar family, and if he followed the steps, he would also have a good future.
But in order to pursue being an official, this guy actually sold his property and bribed the ten permanent servants to get a position of taishou.
You must know that the Ten Standing Servants are the great enemies of Shilin.
When it comes to them, all the soldiers in the world grit their teeth.
Guo Jia did this, which is a taboo in Shilin.
After hearing about this, Xun You still felt sorry for Guo Jia, thinking that he was just confused for a while.
Originally, Guo Jia did his Taishou, Xun You read his own books, and the two sides did not have much to do with each other except that they were once classmates.
The cause of the incident was that Guo Jia changed the practice of the imperial court and promoted border trade in Zhongshan.
What is border trade?
That is the way for dignitaries and local border counties to get rich.
Merchants who wanted to buy and sell goods were exploited by the local government.
This is a fat gap, and it has always been controlled by the dignitaries and nobles of the imperial court.
There are only a few in the horse market, originally there were more monks and less porridge, and they were all controlled by each family, and you Guo Jia wanted to get a piece of the pie, but there was no door at all.
Unexpectedly, Guo Jia continued to bribe the ten permanent servants, and actually obtained the qualification to start a border trade.
All right!
The ten permanent servants covered the sky with one hand, and these people endured it.
You Guo Jia will get a piece of the pie, and they will make less money.
But these people are naΓ―ve.
As soon as Guo Jia came in, he played a bull-breaking policy.
No tax is levied on anyone doing business in Zhongshan.
Not only do you not collect taxes, you are bullied, but Zhongshan also makes decisions for you.
Is there such a good thing in the world?
Merchants naturally flocked to the mountain, and for a time Zhongshan was overcrowded.
There were more merchants and all the goods, which once again attracted merchants from all over the country to Zhongshan to buy and sell.
In this way, naturally no one will go to the horse market in other border counties.
Guo Jia is full, and the others have nothing to eat.
Kill your parents by cutting off your money!
So these people began to unite to stumble Guo Jia.
These people are not alone, they represent an intricate web of relationships.
It's a pity that before they had time to attack Guo Jia, the Yellow Turban Rebellion came.
Now that the Yellow Turban Rebellion has almost calmed down, these people are ready to start dealing with Guo Jia again.
Runan Yuan is one of them.
The conflict between Guo Jia and Yuan Lang has become an excuse for the Yuan family to deal with Guo Jia, even if there is no such thing, they will not let Guo Jia go.
Cao Cao is so!
The same goes for Yuan Shao!
In order to deal with Guo Jia, the Xun family also made a contribution and sent Xun You to Yuan Shao's side.
Guo Jia opened a border trade and moved the cheese of high-ranking officials and nobles, including the interests of the Xun family.
The Xun family naturally took action.
Xun You also came to Jizhou for this reason.
"I see!"
Guo Jia nodded.
It turned out to be blocking other people's financial paths, no wonder it was ruthless one after another.
In fact, he should have thought of it when he promoted border trade.
There are so many benefits in the world, if you get more, others will have less.
There's no way around it.
"But that's the reason?"
Guo Jia tilted his head and glanced at Xun You.
Xun You's face was a little unnatural.
But for Guo Jia, Xun You still has his own thoughts.
At the beginning, the two of them were called Yingchuan Shuangbi, and now Guo Jia has broken the yellow scarf in the north, and there are many generals under his command, and the people are thriving all over Zhongshan, and the people are also living and working in peace and contentment, and his achievements have left Xun You far behind.
Xun You was a little unconvinced, so he came to talk to Guo Jiayi for a long time.
It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, Xun You ran into such an unsuccessful guy as Yuan Shao, and he was defeated again, and he became Guo Jia's prisoner.
A captive is a captive!
When Xun You fell into Guo Jia's hands, he didn't think about going back alive.
But what he never expected was this.
Guo Jia, the bastard, actually came to Li Dai Taozhuang, killed a fake Xun You, and hid the real Xun You.
This made Xun You a little crying and laughing.
"Guo Fengxiao!"
He said calmly: "I was born as a member of the Xun family, and I died as a ghost of the Xun family." Even if you hide me, I won't wag my tail and beg for mercy from you. I won't give you advice to deal with the court. You'd better kill me, or you'll regret it. β
Hehe!
Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "Gongda, you are wrong, I, Guo Jia, have never intended for you to deal with the imperial court." β
The Xun family was deeply entrenched in the imperial court, and it was for this reason that Xun Youyou would rather die than surrender.
How could he help Guo Jia deal with the imperial court?
Guo Jia has already thought it through.
Not against the imperial court?
Xun You was stunned for a moment.
He knew that the reason why he was able to survive was that Guo Jia probably took a fancy to his talent.
Although Guo Jia has not rebelled now, it is almost the same. If he doesn't let himself deal with the court and the Xun family, then what is he doing with himself?
Xun You was a little puzzled.
Guo Jia suddenly took out a map and put it in front of Xun You.
"Gongda, please see, the imperial court has appointed me as the assassin of Yunzhou, responsible for the defense of the four counties of Yanmen, Guangyang Dai County, and Zhongshan."
History of Yunzhou Thorn!
Xun You was taken aback.
Guo Jia, this guy dares to attack the imperial army, he is already an out-and-out thief, not only does the imperial court not crusade, but how can he also be promoted and knighted.
Yunzhou?
Is it for the sake of a state that has been specially divided for this guy?
When Xun You's eyes fell on the map, he immediately understood.
That's really the way it is.
In fact, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the nomadic people of Guangyang, Yanmen, and Daijun were rampant, and they were relatively desolate, and they had long been empty.
Now, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, these three counties have existed in name only.
Now that it has been incorporated into Yunzhou, the imperial court is just pretending to be generous.
Although the three counties are not small, the real heritage is Guo Jia's own Zhongshan County.
