Guo Jin first sent someone to find Cao Ren and reported Guo Peng's request to Cao Ren, and asked Cao Ren to arrange the creation of war excuses first.

I stayed in Dunhuang County for the time being and began to observe the daily life of Dunhuang County.

Guo Peng once told Guo Jin that he did not like the market system.

This regulation restricts trading areas and stipulates that trading can only be carried out for a certain period of time during the day seriously limits the vitality of business, causing the more prosperous situation in which business should have developed is curbed and the development of business is restricted.

But from a global perspective, industry and commerce in ancient times could not support enough full-scale populations.

Everyone has to eat, and those engaged in industry and commerce also have to eat. In the case of low productivity, there is no absolute majority of agricultural population to ensure production. Not to mention business, you can starve to death.

Business can only add icing on the cake and not provide timely help.

The ancients learned that commerce influenced national stability and introduced the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, ensuring that agricultural production is the first priority, and commerce is the last.

To this day, under the overall social productivity and in the situation where there is no food in the field, Guo Peng has also promoted the emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce without hesitation.

Use the market system to limit the scale of commercial transactions, use the curfew system to limit the time of commercial transactions, and do not allow business to develop too quickly, and do not allow merchants to make too much money.

Of course, the curfew system also has the reasons why the country was poor in the early days of the founding of the country and the fuel was expensive and could not be used on a large scale for a long time.

However, he himself used the royal caravan to make a lot of money, and in addition, he suppressed the economic strength of private merchants. He also set up policies to deal with the emergence of large merchants of medium or above. He was ready to kill those who emerged at any time to fill the treasury, and prepared one-stop service.

This is of course in line with the interests of Wei State, in line with the overall needs, and in line with Guo’s usual double standards.

Business is ultimately an industry that only appears after the surplus of agricultural production. If agriculture collapses, where can merchants go to find goods to trade?

The chaotic times of the 20 years of the Han Dynasty destroyed the social production order quite seriously. Guo spent a lot of time to restore the overall state of the country to before the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Now that it is about to start and resume construction, the business cannot be developed at an unexpected opportunity, which interferes with his overall plan. Therefore, restoring agricultural production order is the most important need, and it often takes three to five years to see a little improvement, which is definitely not easy.

While everyone was busy working on agriculture, Zhuge Liang made business priority in Dunhuang County.

Large-scale investment promotion and large-scale markets have also been lifted in Dunhuang County, allowing street stalls to be set up in non-core areas.

So the entire Dunhuang County was revitalized by him, and Dunhuang County also developed on a large scale. Due to such prosperity, Dunhuang County attracted a large number of merchants to do business, rested or even stopped, and the flow of people increased steadily.

So there is such a traffic flow.

Hotels and restaurants in the city can be seen everywhere. At meal time, the fragrance of the whole city is almost everywhere, and people can be seen everywhere.

Not only can you see Han people in the city, but you can also see a large number of merchants from the Western Regions, and even Kushan, rest merchants. There are many people who trade. From the rise of the sun to the setting of the sun, the city has no time to rest.

During the days when Guo Jin stayed in this city, he sent Lu Yan, Cao Zhen, Xiahou Shang, Cao Tai and others around him to several other counties in Dunhuang County to see the situation, and to observe the agricultural production situation in Dunhuang County and the construction of grassroots governments in villages and villages.

As a result, several other counties in Dunhuang County have been connected through the Daguan Road and Dunhuang County, and can reach Dunhuang County at a very fast speed.

All counties have a considerable number of people engaged in agricultural production, and the land reclamation scale is quite good. It is not inferior to Liangzhou in the whole of the countryside, and the grassroots governments in the villages and townships have also been established very well.

You can often see many horse teams carrying agricultural products or handicrafts coming out of these county towns and going directly to the taverns, hotels and markets in Dunhuang County to trade.

Several other counties in Dunhuang County became suppliers to Dunhuang County, and the two parties were connected through goods and roads.

They talked about Zhuge Liang with the locals in private, and the locals praised Zhuge Liang as a very capable prefect. Dunhuang County has its current prosperity all depends on his own operations.

So much so that they can take out a small amount of money to do something.

This made Guo Jin feel a little incredible.

After thinking about it, he decided to go to the prefect's house to meet Zhuge Liang in person, and wanted to ask him what he thought and how he did it.

Zhuge Liang's prefect's mansion is very busy.

The people's attitude of coming and going seemed to be a microcosm of this county town. There was almost no free person to see when they were coming and going, and everyone seemed to have something very important to do.

Guo Jin asked Lu Yi to visit Zhuge Liang and told Zhuge Liang that the Crown Prince was coming.

Zhuge Liang was a little stunned, immediately threw down what he had done and came to pay homage to Guo Jin.

"I thought you would suspect someone pretended to be me."

Guo Jin looked at Zhuge Liang with a smile.

"It is possible to pretend to be someone else, and pretend to be the crown prince, you are just tired of living."

Zhuge Liang never met Guo Jin when he was in the cabinet.

At that time, Guo Peng had already started to let Guo Jin show his face in the cabinet, show his presence and help him announce some things, so Zhuge Liang knew about Guo Jin's appearance.

Guo Jin has never deliberately paid attention to Zhuge Liang.

However, after the first imperial examination was held, Zhuge Liang, as the top scholar in the talent discussion ceremony, once again aroused discussions, that is, he was far away in Dunhuang, and this kind of discussion could not affect him for the time being.

"Kongming, before I set out to Liangzhou, my father asked me to pay special attention to you and Sima Yi. I went to see Zhangye County, where Sima Yi was in charge of the government. It was in a proper manner and was working hard to develop agricultural production. There was nothing special, but Dunhuang County, where you were in charge of the government, was very special."

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment.

"Your Majesty, he..."

"Father has never forgotten you. He has mentioned you more than once in front of me. Otherwise, you were only twenty-seven years old when you were the prefect. How could ordinary people be able to do this?"

Guo Jin poured Zhuge Liang a glass of water, and Zhuge Liang hurriedly took it with both hands.

"I am far away in the western front, and Your Majesty is still so worried about it, I am deeply moved!"

Zhuge Liang immediately looked excited and kowtowed three times in the direction of Luoyang.

Guo Jin did not stop him and looked at him silently.

"Okay, don't be impressed. If you do this, your father will not see or hear it. Let me tell you, what did you think and toss Dunhuang County into this?"

"toss?"

Zhuge Liang was a little surprised: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, I am governing Dunhuang County, not struggling. The people of Dunhuang are also producing and working, not not doing their jobs."

"No trouble, why can't you see the market in Dunhuang County? It's all streets and vendors? The structure of this Dunhuang County is not in line with my Wei customs."

Guo Jin stared at Zhuge Liang with his eyes narrowed, looking bad.

Zhuge Liang looked confused.

"Did Wei's law say that the construction of cities must follow the rules of the market and must not be surpassed? His Royal Highness, I am a little talented and knowledgeable, but I don't know that such a thing is happening! I am guilty!"

"Hahahahahahaha!"

Guo Jin laughed happily and stopped Lu Yi, who seemed to be scolding Zhuge Liang.

"I knew you would say that!"
Chapter completed!
