Chapter II Relief for Refugees

After returning to the humble room at home, Guo Jia and Xi Zhi drank for half a night and fell asleep together, and did not wake up slowly until noon the next day.

In ancient times, alcohol was not very purity, and there were not many sequelae after the hangover. Guo Jia got up and washed up and went out of the house. He happened to see a crowd of people on the street, and the yellow-faced, thin-skinned and tattered refugees begging for food everywhere. The scene was terrible.

While Guo Jia was in a daze, a handsome and restrained young man in blue shirt came to Guo Jia and asked, "What are Fengxiao thinking?"

Guo Jia seemed to wake up, turned his head and sighed, "Wenruo, how many refugees have come today?"

The handsome young man in the blue shirt in Fengshen was Xun Yu. He said with a serious expression: "I'm afraid there will be no less than 10,000. The Central Plains have been suffering from natural disasters for years, and this year there will be severe drought. The harvest is probably less than 30% in previous years. People in many places cannot fill their stomachs and do not cover their bodies, and they are in a difficult situation."

Guo Jia sneered: "I wonder how many buckets of grain were rotten in the granary of wealthy families last night."

Xun Yu remained silent and said nothing. He knew that Guo Jia was biased against the aristocratic family. No, it cannot be said that Guo Jia’s view of the aristocratic family was incisive, but if it were others, it would be hostile.

The two returned to Guo Jia's house together. Xi Zhicai had woken up and played the piano in the room. Guo Jia and Xun Yu did not disturb him, and sat quietly on both sides, closing his eyes and listening.

The music played by Xi Zhicai is harmonious and harmonious, and it shows a magnificent momentum beyond the grandeur, which makes the listener excited and the fighting spirit is high, and it will not dissipate for a long time. Xun Yu even praised in his heart: He heard the music played by Zhicai, and he knows that his ambition is three parts, his ambition is great and his ambition is high. If he uses it appropriately, it cannot be limited in quantity!

When the last piano sound was settled, the room was silent for a long time. After a long time, Guo Jiacai and Xun Yu breathed out together and calmed down their excitement. Xi Zhicai also picked up the silk cloth to wipe his hands.

The three people interact regardless of their elders or their nobles and lowliness, but only communicate with each other. Therefore, they lack the praise of flattery for a moment, and they don’t take the red tape to heart. This is why the friendship between the three people is rare.

After serving three cups of tea to the guests, Guo Jia asked Xun Yu, "Wen Ruo is here, what's the matter?"

Xun Yu felt guilty and said with awkward expression: "After I lost my mother, there was a guest at my family who was inconvenient to go out. Here I came here to apologize..."

Before he could finish his words, Guo Jia interrupted him with a smile.

"If the article doesn't have to be like this, I can just know your intention."

Xun Yu smiled bitterly and continued, "Second, my father came forward to deal with the Guo family. From now on, the Guo family will not have any trouble. In addition, I will give you another thousand acres of fertile land to comfort your pain of losing your mother."

After hearing this, Guo Jia laughed and said, "Thousands of acres of good land? The Guo family is really too bullying. My family is poor and there are no slaves. Who will farm a thousand acres of land?"

Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu also smiled bitterly. If it were someone else, I would probably have to be happy for a long time. After all, it was a thousand acres of fertile land. However, Guo Jia, who was eager to do so, could see through the mystery in the blink of an eye.

"Then Fengxiao, what do you mean?" Xun Yu asked tepidly. He knew that Guo Jia had a solution. He even thought about what to do if he was in Guo Jia's position. It was nothing more than selling the land, and the key was to sell it to.

Before Guo Jia could answer, Xi Zhicai said angrily: "The head of the Guo family is extremely hateful, and he wants to humiliate and filial piety! He is hateful!"

Xun Yu and Guo Jia looked at each other and smiled very strongly. Guo Jia was very excited, but he still asked, "What does Zhicai mean?"

Xi Zhicai glanced at Guo Jia and laughed and scolded: "Guo Fengxiao, you know more than anyone else. The Guo family did this just to ask you to sell the land to them for money. Yingchuan heroes all said that you, Guo Fengxiao, are arrogant and arrogant. Now if you sell the land to exchange for money, you will be ridiculed by others. You will be a great shame for selling it back to the Guo family! Selling it to others will also be humiliated by others. If you don't sell it, the fertile land will be abandoned, then it will be a rumor that others ridiculed it, saying that you, Guo Fengxiao, are just a yellow man, can speak eloquently but can only talk about it. Thousands of acres of fertile land cannot be cured, so how about other things?"

"Hahahaha..." Guo Jia and Xun Yu laughed out loud. The three of them had already thought about the pros and cons, gains and losses, and the difficulty was not whether they could see the evil intentions of the thousand acres of fertile land, but how to deal with it is the problem.

"Without countermeasures in Fengxiao's heart, why not tell me? I have been thinking about this and it is difficult for me to come up with a complete solution." Xun Yu looked directly at Guo Jia, seeing what good strategies he had.

Xi Zhicai was also very curious about how Guo Fengxiao, who had a lot of ideas, resolved this problem.

Guo Jia, who was calm and composed, pondered for a while and said, "Wenruo, although I am young, you know my heart. At this time, I have a heartless request, and I hope Wenruo will help me again."

The curious Xun Yu thought: Could Fengxiao want to sell thousands of acres of fertile land to me? No, this will also make the population a real person. Then? Giving it to me? This is a solution, but it is hard to hide the suspicion of being scolded by Guo Fengxiao for being accomplicated.

"If you are filial piety, just say it. I will not refuse what you can do." Xun Yu said sincerely.

Guo Jia thought about it and said, "Please lend me the food for living in my 300 households for a year."

Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai were full of doubts. Neither of them expected that what Guo Jia said was not what they expected.

"This, it's okay. I can make the decision on this matter. However, I am very curious about Fengxiao's thoughts on whether Fengxiao can reveal what you think."

Xun Yu agreed immediately, but just like Xi Zhicai, he looked thoughtful and had a great surprise in his heart.

Guo Jia smiled and said, "The Guo family just predicted that I had no arable land. As long as I solved this problem, what else would I worry about?"

As soon as this statement came out, Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu understood it, and they thought of refugees begging for food and filling their stomachs.

The three of them stopped talking, looked at each other for a while, and suddenly burst into laughter. After laughing, Xi Zhicai clapped his hands and praised: "Practicing filial piety can make the Guo family's goal fail, and the people can accumulate virtue and help the people. It is truly a great merit."

However, Guo Jia’s idea in his heart is not just about Xi Zhicai. As for more, he will be able to tell the difference in the future.

Although Guo Jia and Xun Yu were close friends, the matter of borrowing grain was extremely serious. They made a document and sealed it as evidence, and agreed to return it in installments within three years.

One month later, the thousand acres of fertile land under Guo Jia's name and the hundred acres of land that the family had previously had labor farming. A simple living room was built next to the woods not far from the farmland. The largest wooden house heard the sound of reading aloud.

Xun Yu, standing outside the house, was calm on his face, but his heart was uncontrollably ups and downs.

Guo Fengxiao is a real genius!

A young man who is only ten years old dares to teach and educate people. He educates the poor in this simple wooden house. I don’t know if these nearly a hundred young children can repay Guo Fengxiao’s painstaking efforts in the future!

Guo Jia had just finished the class and walked out of the wooden house. He happened to meet Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai. Xi Zhicai was invited by Guo Jia to teach. After all, he was alone and had no worries. The matter of cultivating talent was also his wish and he accepted it happily.

However, Xun Yu was born into a gentry and could not put down his figure and do this thing that was ridiculed by the wealthy and prominent families. He was helpless because of his limited identity.

"Little Grandpa, I'm talking all morning, I'm afraid my mouth is dry. Come on, please drink water." Xun Yu quipped a glass of water, his eyes full of teasing.

Guo Jia rolled his eyes back and complained: The old Taoist who was killed by a thousand swords!

A few years ago, an old Taoist met Guo Jia and said that Guo Jia was reincarnated by Jiang Taigong, so he was given the title of Xiao Taigong. It was a long time ago and no one was interested in it. However, recently, Guo Jia became famous among the people, so a rioter has digged deep into Guo Jia's past and tried to know more about Guo Jia. Therefore, the title of Xiao Taigong was revealed. Now, the 300 households he helped call him Xiao Taigong.

"Fengxiao, how did you come up with these? Xun Yu, I, has been well-informed in recent years. The great wise and wise people in Luoyang, Kyoto have occasional interview opportunities, but the only one who can come up with these is Guo Fengxiao."

Xun Yu refers to the method that Guo Jia calls those seven or eight-year-old children to use pinyin to recognize words, formulas to arithmetic, etc., and these all make Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai amazed. Those children who are diligent and ask questions can recognize thousands of words within a month, and they can learn from one example and learn from them very quickly.

Guo Jia smiled bitterly and said, "Wen Ruo, don't talk sarcasticly. Teaching and educating people has a long way to go. Although Zhicai often says that I have a shortcut to teach these children to become great talents, but the vast amount of knowledge is endless. Even if you and I and Zhicai are tied together, how dare you say that you know all the knowledge in the world? Now these children are diligent and hardworking with gratitude. I just hope that they will not be lazy and lazy when they have no worries about food and clothing in the future."

Xun Yu nodded in understanding. Just when he was about to say something, he saw an old man with fairy spirit walking in the distance. He saw the old man holding his snow-white beard with one hand, while marveling at the same time, his eyes circling around the farmland and the fields beside the forest.

Guo Jia just inadvertently followed Xun Yu's gaze, but his expression was shocked and he hurriedly ran towards the old man.

Xun Yu reached out to stop Guo Jia from asking clearly, but he was slower, his hand fell into nothing, and when he looked at it again, he was stunned.

Guo Jia rushed directly to the 50-year-old man, reached out and grabbed the old man's snow-white beard, and said viciously: "Damn old Taoist, I miss you so much!"

The old Taoist grinned in pain, tears gushed from the corners of his eyes, and he hurriedly begged for mercy, "Oh, ah, I said, "You guy, be gentle, be gentle, since you are worried about me, why do you make things difficult for me?"

Guo Jia didn't relax and said angrily: "It's okay if you cheat, why did you say that I was reincarnated by Jiang Taigong? Now I call me Xiao Taigong when I meet everyone. Do you know what Taigong wants?"

The grandfather usually refers to the little father and grandfather. Guo Jia is called this, so he is naturally impatient. Moreover, using his idea, finding a wife in the future will become a problem! Otherwise, when the woman meets, she will call out: Xiao grandfather! What should Guo Jia do? Will you come down? Then there is no chance to pick up girls and become an elder for no reason. Should you come down? It's too rude and the first impression will be ruined.

And the source of the matter is the old Taoist who looks fairy-like in front of him!

I heard the old Taoist continue begging for mercy: "My friend, let go, you will pull out my beard! The old Taoist Zuo Ci will accompany you first, right? What do we have to say? Let's go first before saying it?"
