Chapter 88: The Five Obstacles of the Lord

There were many baby emperors in the history of the Han Dynasty. It was difficult for the emperor to stand alone, and the imperial power was inevitable. Therefore, it was not uncommon for the relatives and eunuchs to cover the sky with their own hands. They also included the phenomenon of regent and participation in confidentiality. At this time, the nv son was not big and kept in the deep boudoir. It was still a patriarchal social situation. It was not uncommon for nv sons to achieve something.

Diao Chan is one of the few people who followed Guo Jia into Yizhou. All figures from Yizhou who follow Guo Jia also know that there is a Diao Chan in Guo Jia's mansion that cannot be ignored. Diao Chan is a trivial matter in the mansion of general Diao Chan, big and small, and all aspects, although she looks like a slave and her status is not prominent.

Those who want to harm Guo Jia will be able to achieve unexpected results as long as they buy Diao Chan. Those who want to attract Guo Jia's attention will be able to bribe Diao Chan and let Diao Chan mention her name inadvertently in front of Guo Jia, which is enough to leave traces in Guo Jia's heart. This is Diao Chan, a humble little person in name, but others must be valued by others.

Let Diao Chan join the business association on behalf of Guo Jia is a last resort and excellent choice. Guo Jia can't find a second person with a subtle situation to represent him. Will Zhen Jiang go? Zhen Jiang is Guo Jia's wife and comes from the Zhen family. Her going may not make people relieve their doubts. Will Cai Yan go? Guo Jia said that she would not give her the power, and she would not give her the opportunity to win people's hearts.

"Did you understand?"

When Guo Jia explained the business association's affairs to Diao Chan in detail, Diao Chan was silent for a while.

"I just represent the general. All I have to do is to monitor the business association's accounts and help the general pass on messages, right?"

Guo Jia smiled a little, Diao Chan could understand it at a glance, saving worries and effort.

Diao Chan doesn't have to participate in business, she just needs to be named and divided into achievements. She also helps Guo Jia watch the news in the business association and helps Guo Jia send a message to the business association from time to time. After all, Guo Jia wants to use the business association to make profits for Yizhou Prefecture, and cannot use government orders to force it, otherwise the quality of the business association will change.

"But I am afraid that I will not do well and ruin the general's major tasks. I cannot afford this important task." Diao Chan understood, but she retreated.

He said to countless wealthy merchants in Yizhou that she had no experience, felt humble, and was afraid of doing something wrong, and was unhappy to Guo Jia. It was normal for human beings to be frightened.

Guo Jia encouraged her and said gently: "Diao Chan, you don't have to be afraid. You don't have to be afraid of business associations. You are still in the mansion on weekdays. It's enough to participate when you need it. Besides, there is the Zhen family who assists from the side. Even if a business association is in trouble, there is still me. Just remember that you represent me. No matter what you do, I support you. If someone dares to despise you and bully you, I will ask you ten times or a hundred times. Remember, I have everything, and do it boldly."

Diao Chan smiled sweetly, and her heart was much more stable.

The business association that has caused a lot of controversy recently finally made substantial progress. The Yizhou Business Association was established in Chengdu. More than 300 merchants in the 14 counties joined the business association and elected fourteen representatives from each county to form the management of the business association. The business association shared commercial information resources, coordinated goods, and carried out commercial sales according to the needs of local goods at the first time, greatly improving efficiency, and began to target areas outside Yizhou.

After laying a solid foundation in agriculture, the establishment of the business association led to the development of handicraft industry. There were business associations in various places to purchase goods and sell the finished products quickly under the sharing of information. Merchants who joined the business association found that the goods were sold quickly and that some goods that were rare in the past were easily bought.

The caravan went to the north to do business, and the war horses that Guo Jia wanted could not be transported to Yizhou in large quantities, and the caravans could only purchase war horses from horse traders in scattered ways.

Guo Jia is not in a hurry to do this situation. The lifespan of horses is usually twenty years, and war horses can be used for military use for the last year. Even if the business association only brings him two thousand war horses every year, it is not difficult for him to have a cavalry army of ten thousand people after a long period of accumulation.

The power of the gentry lies in political influence. The gentry depended on the gentry because the gentry needed the material resources of the gentry, and the gentry needed the gentry's cover to allow them to seek their own si.

To eliminate the dependence of the wealthy clan on the gentry, in addition to completely defeating the gentry, we must also give benefits to the wealthy clans. After Guo Jia infringes on the interests of the gentry, he will give them benefits from other ways, and use both kindness and power, and take the two-pronged punishment and morality. Only in this way, not only will the people of Yizhou support Guo Jia's rule, but local wealthy clans will gradually support Guo Jia.

The various caravans of the Business Association went from Yizhou to Jingzhou to the east and Liangzhou to the north, and were in full swing, but at this time, Qin Mi ran to Guo Jia for advice.

Since he came to Guo Jia as an official, Qin Mi has been honest and dedicated to the public. When political views are not unified, he will argue with reason. He dares to come to Guo Jia for some things that others dare not say, which is something that Guo Jia admires very much.

When Qin Mi arrived, Guo Jia was holding his youngest son Guo Jin to coax him to sleep. Although it was not a formal occasion, Guo Jia still had to show some majesty and ask Diao Chan to carry Guo Jin back. Guo Jia tidied up his clothes and waited for Qin Mi.

When he walked into the hall, he happened to meet Diao Chan. Qin Mi gave Diao Chan a bow, and at the same time, his eyes were on Guo Jin's face in her arms for a few more seconds.

Walking into the hall, Guo Jia signaled that he didn't have to salute. Qin Mi knelt down, but fell into silence, with a calm expression as if thinking about words.

"Zi Ji, if you have something to say."

Seeing Qin Mi's solemn appearance, Guo Jia was also a little surprised. He thought it was just an ordinary business, but it seemed that there was something important.

"Lord, can you ask if you know the details of the Yizhou Business Association?"

Facing Qin Mi's serious god, Guo Jia said frankly: "Is there any problem with the business association?"

Did the business association just established have hidden dangers?

Will organizations like the business association threaten Guo Jia's rule? Merchants who will unite will hoard goods, and they can control prices and affect people's livelihood. But will they do this? Do they dare to do this? This is the one who dares to oppose the rulers in feudal society, either subvert the rulers, or confiscate the family and destroy the clan. If one day the business association is out of control, then Guo Jia can build a business association and destroy the business association, just to start over.

If Qin Mi reminded Guo Jia that the Business Association was a double-edged sword, then Guo Jia would only think that Qin Mi was worried about it. At least now, the Business Association is an existence that can bring benefits to Yizhou.

"Lord, although there are fourteen leaders of the business association, Zhen Yu's influence is extraordinary. Mi begs to ask the lord to withdraw from the business association."

Qin Mi looked at Guo Jia solemnly. After thinking for a while, Guo Jia understood Qin Mi’s intentions.

When Guo Jia was silent, Qin Mi revealed his reasons for his advice.

"There are five obstructions for the lord: the minister is called obstruction, the minister is called obstruction, the minister is called obstruction, the minister is good at exercising orders, the minister is good at exercising righteousness, the minister is called obstruction, the minister is called obstruction, the minister is called obstruction, the minister is called obstruction, the minister is called obstruction, the minister is called obstruction, the minister is called obstruction, the minister is called obstruction, the minister is called obstruction, the minister is responsible for exercising wealth, the minister is responsible for exercising morality; the minister is good at exercising righteousness, the minister is blind; the minister is responsible for cào. ​​The reason why this lord is only good is not why the minister is able to obtain cào. ​​Zhen Yan, Zhen Yao has already held an important position in Yizhou Prefecture, and the lord is also the Zhen family. Now, Zhen Yu has a high position in the business association, and the Zhen family is a family that only falls below the lord in Yizhou. Will the lord let this situation develop?"

Qin Mi's sincere words were not to suppress dissidents. He was loyal to Guo Jia, but he had a sincere heart and took honor and disgrace to gain and loss seriously. The Zhen family was in great power. Could it be that only he could see it? No, but he was the only one who came to advise Guo Jia at the first time.

Looking at Qin Mi in a daze, Guo Jia knew that Qin Mi had not said anything, but they knew each other well.

Guo Jin

Establishing a legitimate, establishing a eldest son, establishing a virtuous family. When inheriting a family business, the first thing to consider is to establish a legitimate son to inherit the family business. Guo Jin's birth means that Guo Jiayue is strong, and the glory that the Zhen family will receive in the future will be even more amazing.

As for why Qin Mi didn't tell Guo Jin too, because Li Si was not qualified to be irresponsible.

In the late Han Dynasty, there were too many such lessons. When the foreign relatives were in great power, the gentry in the court had to follow the lead. Even though Guo Jia had not reached that height, he had to prevent the problem and kill the hidden dangers in the cradle. This was what Qin Mi had to remind Guo Jia.

The second son of the Zhen family, the third son is in the official position, and the eldest son is in the business world. Both the official and business paths should not be underestimated. In addition, Zhen Jiang is Guo Jia's wife, and it is worrying to continue to develop. Qin Mi knew very well that Guo Jia, as the leader, could not place hope on the loyalty of the Zhen family.

Loyalty often disappears with power and ambition

"Wan Cheng is too serious for ministers, and Qian Cheng is too confident. This is the trouble of the master. Lord, you understand these principles more clearly than me, but at this time, you cannot act emotionally."

Qin Mi was still convinced Guo Jia that he hoped to cut off the Zhen family's power. It would be easier for the Zhen family to break the Zhen family's business trip, and it would not be too cold to the Zhen family's heart.

After another silence in the hall, Guo Jia looked at Qin Mi and felt a lot of emotion.

He had Qin Mi, which made him feel that he had the feeling of studying history and seeing Emperor Taizong of Tang having Wei Zheng.

Qin Mi's words are reasonable, but very harsh.

"Zi Ji, I will remember your words in my heart, but you must know that although Yizhou is peaceful, the world is still luàn. At extraordinary times, extraordinary things are done. Zhen Yu's role in the business association is immeasurable. I cannot suppress the Zhen family at this time."

Zhen Yu is a big banner that makes merchants flock to each other. If others change to them, there will be no such appeal and cohesion.

Guo Jia's words made Qin Mi sigh slightly. He bowed to Guo Jia in a little disappointed manner and said, "Lord, if the world is peaceful, I hope the lord can still see the situation clearly and make it clear if it is done."

Guo Jia can't think about suppressing the Zhen family now, and even this idea cannot exist in his mind. He is resting and recuperating, he is accumulating strength, he needs talents, and more people to work hard for him. It is far from time to check and balance.

But one day the Zhen family developed to a point that was enough to threaten Guo Jia's rule, and Guo Jia would not be ruthless.

If you love your ministers too close, you will be in danger. If you are too noble, you will be in trouble. If you are too noble, you will be in trouble...
