Chapter 147 One thing descends one thing

Yizhou, Chengdu.

Compared with the chaos among the scholars of the Central Plains, the Yizhou family was much calmer. The woodblock printing and bookstores wanted to open up the situation in Yizhou, which was inseparable from the hands of the aristocratic families. The traffic roads everywhere were steep and could easily stop the imperial envoys. Especially after knowing the intentions of the court, the inspection efforts of various checkpoints in Yizhou suddenly increased a lot, and all imperial envoys were blocked.

However, various trade cooperation with the court, especially the refined salt trade, have been opened. It is naturally impossible to completely cut off the ties with the court. What's more, Qin Yong, a figure who is already the largest wealthy businessman in Yizhou, is here. The secret guards and secret guards have already penetrated Yizhou.

The news naturally flowed into the people. In order to prevent the people from moving in large numbers, various counties have also increased restrictions on the people.

In such years, if it weren't for the desperate situation, few people would be willing to leave their hometowns.

Therefore, although the news spread through the channels of secret guards lurking among the people, it did not cause much turmoil.

Qin family, study room.

Qin Yong handed the information in his hand and a set of Analects of Confucius to Guo Jia, frowned and said, "Sir, even Liu Zhang has not learned about this matter. Even Zhang Song and others are silent on this matter. Will we arrange for rural education?"

Guo Jia looked through several books of the Analects of Confucius, shook his head with a smile and said, "Your Majesty is going to make a big bet. It won't take long for Yizhou to be your Majesty's territory. Naturally, the rural education needs to be promoted, but you can't do it."

Qin Yong was stunned when he heard this and looked at Guo Jia in confusion: "How can I explain this?

In Yizhou, the court was always the agent of Qin Yong, as long as it was a commercial matter, so why did Qin Yong leave it alone?

"The big tree attracts wind!" Guo Jia leaned on the back of the chair, smiled excitedly on the corner of his mouth, and took a sip of wine with a fierce sip of wine, and glanced at Qin Yong and said, "Because of his relationship with the court, no one in Yizhou can replace you now. Therefore, even if you see that you are rich enough to rival a country, the Yizhou family will be kind to you for the benefit of salt transportation, but this does not mean... they do not covet the wealth in your hands."

Guo Jia took out a volume of paper from behind and handed it to Qin Yong and said, "Do you know, how many aristocratic families have tried to build bridges with royal trading companies in Chang'an for more than a year?"

Qin Yong took the bamboo paper and unfolded it, looked carefully, and sweat suddenly oozed out of his forehead. He thought he was already careful enough, but who knew that there were so many loopholes.

"You are still Your Majesty's Secret Guard. So many people have penetrated in by their subordinates, but they are unaware of it!" Guo Jia glanced at Qin Yong and shook his head and said, "The above are records made by the Royal Trading Company, including every time they try to contact them, there are records. Please note it, but don't alarm the snake. Be careful, these people may be useful in the future."

"That sir, who should do this?" Qin Yong looked at Guo Jia and frowned.

"Simple." Guo Jia took the bamboo paper from Qin Yong's hand, picked up the pen and outlined it a few times, and then handed it back to Qin Yong: "Whoever is most incompatible with you will let you do it. In short, this matter must not be involved in you."

"This..." Qin Yong looked at the names drawn by Guo Jia, and he naturally knew who it was. The information sent by the Royal Trading Company was clearly recorded. These people were naturally the members of the Qin family, Qin Yong's original family, and the family that is most incompatible with Qin Yong in Shu.

Qin Yong looked at Guo Jia with some embarrassment. Although he had been swept out of the house, his bloodline broke his bones and connected his tendons, and he wanted to push them into the divine source with his own hands. Qin Yong could not do it.

"Don't worry, although for the time being, once this matter is implemented in Shu, the Qin family will be suppressed by the Shu family, but in the long run, it will be a good thing for the Qin family."

Guo Jia patted the Analects of Confucius in his hand and said with a smile: "I won't talk about the name in history. I just want to say that at present, Your Majesty wants to implement this method. If the Qin family can accomplish this, it may be temporarily attacked by the Yizhou family, but for Your Majesty, it will be a great achievement. In the future, Yizhou will join the court. Do you think Your Majesty will treat the Qin family badly?"

When Qin Yong heard this, he nodded. It was indeed the case. The interests of the Yizhou family were contrary to each other, but for the imperial court, this was a great achievement.

"Besides..." Guo Jia looked up, looked at Qin Yong, and sneered: "The chaos in Yizhou is imminent. Do you think that in two months, those aristocratic families will still have the energy to suppress the Qin family?"

Qin Yong was stunned and then nodded with a smile. Indeed, the matter they planned was coming to an end. As soon as it broke out, no matter whether it was the Yizhou family or Zhang Song, the new forces promoted by Liu Ye's guidance, would have no energy to care about this matter.

"Sir, since we are ready, why wait for another two months?" Qin Yong looked at Guo Jia with some confusion and frowned.

"It's not that I have to wait, but the current situation. Your Majesty quietly made this move and had to wait. At least it had to be established in the village schools before it could start. Some details should be re-planned." When he said this, Guo Jia shook his head helplessly.

Liu Xie has always been determined to suppress and weaken the influence and authority of the aristocratic families, but in Guo Jia's view, it may be suppressed for a while. However, unless each generation of monarch is as strong as Liu Xie, it is impossible to suppress it for a long time in the previous situation.

However, as soon as the woodblock printing technology was released, Guo Jia finally understood Liu Xie's real plan. It was not that Guo Jia was not as smart as Liu Xie, but that it was limited by the times. Judging from the situation at that time, it was difficult to break the pattern of the aristocratic family's monopoly on culture before the woodblock printing technology was released. Therefore, even Guo Jia has always suggested that Liu Xie focus on suppression and promote more talents from poor families, rather than just placing a territorial territory. In this way, the greater the oppression, the greater the resistance it will face in the end.

Now that the Ministry of Works has developed woodblock printing technology, for the aristocratic families, it is equivalent to cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the pot. Don’t see how the aristocratic family is now making a big fuss. However, with Liu Xie’s three-learning plan and the popularization of woodblock printing technology, as long as Liu Xie is not in trouble and is steady and steady, the longer the time, the greater the advantage over Liu Xie. In the end, there is no need for Liu Xie to do anything. When woodblock printing completely breaks the cage and promotes the world, no matter how difficult the aristocratic families are to suppress it, they will naturally quit and even take the initiative to compromise with Liu Xie.

With business and wealth, the economy no longer relies on aristocratic families, and then the Ministry of Works strengthens the army, enriches the people, and recruits talents from poor families. At present, it seems that the aristocratic families are making great noise, but in fact, Liu Xie’s dependence on aristocratic families is not as great as imagined. What we have to worry about now is not the strike of aristocratic families, but someone is anxious to jump over the wall.

Therefore, even if Chang'an is making a big fuss now, Guo Jia is not going to go back. Liu Xie is enough to deal with the situation in Chang'an. In addition, Liu Xie has Jia Xu and Wu and Lu Bu around him. It seems chaotic, but as long as the border is not chaotic, Chang'an will be as stable as Mount Tai. However, Liu Xie cannot help but face the condemnation of a group of ministers. This is also an important reason why Guo Jia is unwilling to go back. It's annoying!

It is enough to show the limelight of the ministers once, and it is boring to go to Chang'an to make fun of a group of old guys, it is better to stay in Yizhou and give Liu Xie a stable rear.

The closure of Yizhou is a good thing for the Yizhou family, but it is also a bad thing. That is, in a critical moment, Yizhou does not have the strong self-healing ability as the Central Plains. Once there is turmoil within Yizhou, you can only make jokes within Yizhou. As long as your plan is successful, what Liu Xie cannot do in Guanzhong, in Yizhou, Guo Jia can do it drastically. As long as he succeeds here, he will feed back to Guanzhong, and it will basically be stable.

"What we need to do now is to prepare talents from all over the world, including Yunnan." Guo Jia tapped the table and thought.

"Yunnan?" Qin Yong said in shock.

"Otherwise, why do you think I want to help the Southern Barbarians build cities?" Guo Jia rolled his eyes and said calmly: "The Southern Barbarians are also my great man's territory. Have you forgotten what His Majesty said?"

When Qin Yong heard this, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes and said loudly: "Everyone in the world is Han people."

Guo Jia took out his ears and stood up and said, "Just know, don't shout so loudly. Take advantage of this time to open a few more schools in Yunnan. In two months, you will have to leave."

"Here!" Qin Yong hurriedly bowed.

Watching Guo Jia walk out, he wondered: "Sir, where are you going?"

"Zuixianglou!" Guo Jia smashed his mouth and said, "I heard that several new Western Region women have arrived recently, and they are quite desolate. Do you want to go with me?"

"This..." Qin Yong subconsciously covered his wallet, but was shocked to find that the wallet had disappeared. When he looked up, he saw that Guo Jia had an extra wallet in his hand. He waved his hand with a cool look on his back and said, "Don't worry, I'll return it to you."

What a weird thing!

Qin Yong grinned. He didn't care about the money, but Liu Xie had instructed him to strictly control Guo Jia's expenses, but... how did he control it?

"Sir, where are you going?" Niu Geng's voice sounded outside the door.

"Really, where am I going, what does it have to do with you?" Guo Jia looked at Niu Geng who suddenly appeared in front of him with a distressed look on his face.

Niu Geng took out a booklet from his arms seriously and said to Guo Jia seriously: "The doctor said that in order to prevent your health from deteriorating, you can only have sex three times a month. You have been there three times this month and you can't go again."

"Nothing nonsense, which quack doctor said!" Guo Jia glared.

"It's Mr. Hua Tuo."

"You..." Guo Jia glared at Niu Geng and gritted his teeth and said, "How could you be such a guard? You have to take care of my affairs?"

"I'll listen to Your Majesty." Niu Geng said with disrespect.

"I..." Guo Jia looked at Niu Geng hatefully, and finally threw the wallet to Qin Yong dejectedly, and left with a miserable look on his face. Niu Geng followed with a step forward.
