The streets of Chengdu are still prosperous. After saying goodbye to Qin Yong, Guo Jia took Niu Geng to wander around the street, acting like a noble family, and was incompatible with the travelers who were traveling back and forth.

As a well-known figure in Shu, Qin Yong is naturally not suitable to come out with him. This will only reveal Guo Jia's identity. Since entering Shu, Guo Jia has never appeared in a formal occasion, just to be such a transcendent identity, not to get involved, but to control the overall situation. Guo Jia likes this feeling very much, but at this moment, he is walking on the streets of Chengdu, but Guo Jia is not happy.

The prosperity is still there, but the air is filled with an anxious aura. The scholars are still scholars, but the people are no longer the people.

"If I had known this, Jia Wenhe would have come." Seeing a pale and thin-skinned man walking by in a hurry, Guo Jia's face looked a little gloomy.

Although the plan was extremely smooth, if he just sat in the Qin family compound and looked at the piles of data, he would naturally not feel anything. But now, when he took to the streets and was in the scene, looking at the people who were gradually declining and unable to make a living because of his words, the sour feeling made Guo Jia feel heavy in his heart.

If Jia Wen and the poisonous man did this kind of thing, they probably wouldn't have any feelings, right? I can't really be cold-blooded after all.

"Let's go." After pondering for a while, Guo Jia turned around and walked straight towards the Qin Mansion.

"Young Master, don't go to Zuixianglou anymore? You can go there once this month. Next month, it won't be forgotten." Niu Geng looked at Guo Jia unexpectedly, without thinking too much, and just shouted out naturally when he said something.

Guo Jia's face turned dark, and his originally dull mood, his mood of worrying about the country and the people was instantly impacted by Niu Geng's words.

"I won't go." After cursing with a dark face, Guo Jia cursed angrily, endured the strange gazes of others, and his steps couldn't help but get a little faster.

"Why are you angry?" Niu Geng was a little confused by Guo Jia's anger, so he could only follow Guo Jia back, wondering in his heart why this gentleman had changed his temper today. He had to put it in the past, so he didn't need to say it at this moment. He had already rushed to Zuixiang Tower to find his sister.

Seeing Guo Jia go away, he can only follow him helplessly.

When the two returned to Qin Mansion, they met Qin Yong who had just returned: "Sir, why is it so early today?"

After calming down a little, he calmed down again. Guo Jia walked into the room without saying a word, making Qin Yong a little confused. He glanced at Niu Geng beside him, and Qin Yong said in confusion: "What's wrong with today sir?"

"Who knows?" Niu Geng was even more confused than him and could only run in with Guo Jia.

Qin Yong is in a good mood now. Although the Qin family spent a lot of money during this period, not only the profits earned on Shu Jin, but also the wealth that Qin Yong had accumulated over the years has been dispersed, but he is still very happy that the food in Shu Zhong was sent to the hands of the powerful and nobles in Shu Zhong like this.

According to Qin Yong's understanding of these powerful people, it is basically impossible to put such valuable grain in their hands and take it out at a low price. You must know that the grain itself was purchased by them at a high price and then spit it out at a low price. No one wants to change. It is only a matter of time. What we need to do now is to control the direction of public opinion step by step.

Just so happened that he wanted to ask Guo Jia about his suggestions, so he followed Niu Geng and entered Guo Jia's study together.

"Sir, the price of grain in Shu has risen to nearly twenty times. According to your instructions, I have been wandering around the next few days, hoping to lower the price of grain so that I can buy it to support the court. As Mr. expected, these aristocratic families not only did not let go, but instead raised the price of grain by 10%. However, in my opinion, this price is already the limit." Qin Yong said with a smile.

"How is the work of the hometown learning?" Guo Jia did not ask much about this matter.

"There are about fifty families in various places in Shu. During this period, the rural education affairs have been temporarily put aside due to food. However, more than fifty rural educations that have been established are still operating, but most of the students have returned home." Qin Yong said with a wry smile.

After all, I can’t even have enough food now. Although the fees for local schooling are not high, they are also a expense. In terms of the current situation, ordinary families cannot afford it. Therefore, these more than 50 local schooling are basically idle.

Guo Jia closed his eyes silently and sighed for a long time: "Since that's the case, then just close it first. Do what you need to do. The main purpose at the moment is to cause chaos in Shu and give our army a reason to send troops. I asked someone to notify General Han Sheng and others to be ready to enter Shu at any time."

There is nothing in this world that is the best of both worlds. If the family is vigilant because of the rural learning, which affects the major plans, then the planning over the past two years will be a waste of time. You must know that what Guo Jia said to Liu Xie was not to conquer Yizhou, but to flatten the Yizhou family from the root. Which one is more important? Guo Jia clearly distinguished, but what he saw on the street before made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Here!" He looked at Guo Jia in confusion, not understanding why Guo Jia, who Ji-joo is holding on the usual days, is so irritable and doesn't look like him.

"In addition, Chengdu is not strong enough now, so I will postpone it a little bit, but Baishui, Zitong, and Langzhong areas should be similar, so I can take action. In addition, the Southern Barbarians must first start, and it is best to instigate the barbarians in Sanjiang City to fight back together. It should be fast. Within half a month, I want the beacons in Shu to spread the sky and the Yellow Turban Rebellion again!" Guo Jia didn't know how he said this, but at this moment, he felt really uncomfortable.

"Here!" Qin Yong quickly bowed and said, feeling something wrong in Guo Jia's tone.

"Everyone goes out, I want to be alone and do my own thing, don't bother me!" Guo Jia waved his hand and signaled that Qin Yong and Niu Geng both went out. He needed to sort out his feelings.

It’s not that he has seen disasters and chaos. He had personal experiences in the Yellow Turban Rebellion back then, but at that time he looked at it from an onlooker’s perspective. But when this kind of thing was planned by him, it felt like another matter.

When I first set up this plan, I thought I didn’t know whether it was right or wrong. Although it was a good thing for the court, in the long run, although it would temporarily cause disasters and victims, after the chaos, I would get a great rule. I got a Shuzhong that belonged to the court completely. I just said a thousand words, but the evil in front of me was created by him.

But no matter what, things have come to this point, and there is no turning back. After two years of preparation, Huang Zhong’s 50,000 troops in Hanzhong could not give up because he couldn’t bear it for a moment. At this time, Guo Jia could only comfort himself and prepare for post-war comfort.

This war must not last too long!

Guo Jia, who had made up his mind, began to write instructions and hand them over to the secret guards, and sent letters to all directions of Shu.

Langzhong, as a place where troops were stationed in Shu, has always been stockpiling 50,000 troops to guard against possible enemies in Zitong, Baishui and Jiameng at any time, and to reinforce Zitong, Baishui and Jiameng at any time. As a general who has gradually risen in the past two years, although there has been no war since Zhang Lu seized Hanzhong, Zhang Ren did not slacken at all. He would inspect the camps every day, train troops, and prepare for the war that might occur at any time.

On this day, Zhang Ren was patrolling the military camp, when suddenly a dirt-filled knight entered the camp and shouted loudly from a distance: "General Zhang, Jiameng Pass urgently reported."

"Tell me!" Zhang Ren, who was patrolling the military camp, looked shaking and said loudly when he heard this.

"Here!" The knight turned over and dismounted, opened the bamboo paper, and said in a deep voice: "Ling Bao, the captain of the Jiameng Pass, reported that today, the scouts investigated that a large number of troops gathered in Hanzhong, and the movements were unknown. It was approaching Baishui and Jiameng's area. According to the scouts, there were 50,000 bandit troops, which were probably invincible. Please send troops to help quickly."

"Fifty thousand army!" Zhang Ren raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Hanzhong is also a big county, and the Hanzhong Plain is also a place with fertile water and soil. But even so, Zhang Lu raised a 50,000 army in such a short time, right?

"Did you know who the other party's leader is?" Zhang Ren faintly felt something was wrong and asked.

"This... it was not said on the letter." The knight looked at the bamboo paper carefully and shook his head.

"Fifty thousand army! It's probably a big battle. I'll be ordered by Zhuo Ying and the two generals Gao Pei are guarding the Langzhong camp. Meng Da and Yang Huai are immediately ordered 20,000 troops to help Jiameng." Zhang Ren thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

In addition to strengthening Baishui and Jiameng, the army of Langzhong also had the responsibility of protecting Cheng. The capital must not be fully protected unless it was absolutely necessary.

"General!" After a while, Meng Da, who received the order, rushed over quickly and bowed to Zhang Ren, "General, our army may not be able to transfer 20,000 troops at this moment!"

"Why?" Zhang Ren looked at Meng Da in confusion and asked with a frown.

"Cheng. I haven't transferred food and grass for a month. The army's food and grass are no longer enough for our army's monthly expenses. At this time, 20,000 troops were mobilized, and the lieutenant general had no food and grass!" Meng Da said with a wry smile.

"Then let Fu County open a warehouse, how could there be no grain available?" Zhang Ren felt a little ridiculous. In the country of Tianfu in Shu, there was a lot of money and grain. It was the first time I heard that Shu was short of food.

"I have been there a few days ago. After repeated urging, the magistrate of Fu County refused to open a warehouse and only said he had no food." Meng Da shook his head and said.

"Hateful!" Zhang Ren was furious when he heard this. He saw the troops at the city, but there was no food to be transferred. He had only 50,000 troops, but he could not be transferred due to insufficient food and grass. Could it be that he would still watch Hanzhong soldiers and horses break through Jiameng and attack?

After thinking about it, Zhang Ren said in a deep voice: "In this way, first transfer 10,000 troops and horses, and order Zhuo Ying and Gao Pei to Cheng quickly. Please ask the lord to allocate the food as soon as possible!"
