At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Guo Jin couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, okay, don't laugh, don't laugh, listen to the county lord!"

The head of the village covered his face and laughed a few times, finally held back, and then stopped the villagers from continuing to laugh.

After the scene stabilized, Guo Jin continued to preach.

"We all know that solar energy evaporates water and can dry the ground until it is dry and cracked, but the evaporated water does not actually disappear, but is evaporated into water vapor and floats back to the sky. When there is enough water vapor in the sky, It will turn into rain again, and it will come down."

When Guo Jin said this, many people showed doubts on their faces, expressing that it was difficult to understand such a fact, and even the village chiefs were often not sure that what Guo Jin said was correct.

Guo Jin was not surprised at all.

"Don't believe me? Think about it, when you cook rice, you always use water, right? When the rice is steamed, there will be that white gas, right? Where does that gas come from?"

Villagers, you look at me, and I look at you.

"Water steamed out?"

A bold villager asked.

"That's right! It's just steamed out of water."

Guo Jin smiled and said: "You guys, go back and try, get a pot and light it to boil water, and see if there will be white gas, that gas is water vapor, and this white gas is floating, so you can't see it Right? But instead of disappearing, it goes back to the sky, and when it accumulates enough, it will become rain."

The villagers were very surprised by this, and heated discussions started, and the scene was very lively for a while.

Then Guo Jin told everyone that when it rains in the future, more water tanks should be installed at home to catch water. When it rains from the sky, it is the cleanest water, which is perfect for watering the ground.

After talking about this matter, I talked about the bad year and little rain.

If there is little rain and the year is dry, there is nothing to be done. People can't decide the affairs of the sky, and if it doesn't rain, they can't do anything about it.

But this is not impossible.

In arid and windy areas, the method of substituting fields is adopted, in mountainous and hilly areas, the method of terraced fields is adopted, and in vast plain areas, the land rotation system needs to be fully implemented.

Under the current background of less people and more land, and a large amount of land that has not yet been reclaimed, it is not impossible to implement land rotation.

While taking on the responsibilities of being the crown prince, Guo Jin is also taking on the responsibilities of the head of a county. He is responsible for the 10,000+ households under his jurisdiction, and does his best to implement the government orders so that they can live a stable, stable and relatively A life of food and clothing.

In short, it is very important to be able to eat.

After preaching in this village, Guo Jin has to go to the next village, and the schedule is very tight.

"Bo Yan, how many villages do I need to go to?"

Guo Jin asked Lu Yi who was following him.

"There are 25 more, young master, if you are tired, you can take a rest."

Lu Yi replied.

"Not tired, it's all state affairs, since it's agreed to go, then we have to go, there can be no exceptions for this kind of thing."

Guo Jin shook her head: "Father manages a lot of things every day and never says he's tired. As a prince, do I have to back down if I only manage a county?"

"My son's determination, I understand."

Lu Yi nodded, and then began to arrange the next itinerary for Guo Jin.

Lu Yi was always by Guo Jin's side.

As his very capable deputy, when Guo Jin needed to study beside Guo Peng, he took over the county affairs and helped Guo Jin share the pressure. When Guo Jin had time to deal with county affairs, he would run around with him, just like a master.

In other words, this master is not a dog-headed military adviser, but a genuine military adviser with a relatively high level.

So after getting along for a long time, Guo Jin felt that among the small team that Guo Peng selected for him, who could provide him with enough administrative help, the first one was Lu Yi, and Lu Yu had to be in the back row.

Although Xia Houshang studied martial arts and military affairs, compared with Cao Zhen and others, Xia Houshang liked to study more and was calmer in dealing with things, so he could barely be counted as one.

The rest, headed by Cao Zhen, have the courage to ascend first, and are more suitable for military development. Fighting and killing are what they are good at.

Doing administrative work still requires some patience, some carefulness, and the determination to be able to sit still and restrain one's impulse.

In this regard, Lu Yi is the best.

So many times, when Guo Jin has doubts about administration, he will seek advice from Lu Yi, and Lu Yi can always provide him with good advice.

When Guo Jin's small team took over the county affairs for the first time, Lu Yi was the first to stabilize his footing. Now, Guo Jin feels that Lu Yi is not just a talent for managing a county. Give him a county He can also manage well.

In the future, it is not impossible for a state to even enter the central government to hold important powers.

Guo Jin also remembered Guo Peng's evaluation of Lu Yi.

Guo Peng believed that Lu Yi was courageous, knowledgeable, courageous, and had a good vision. With a little training, he would definitely be Guo Jin's important assistant in governing the country in the future.

He is even more capable of governing the country than Lu Yu brought out by Guo Peng.

Guo Peng had such a high evaluation and expectation for Lu Yi, which Guo Jin did not expect.

In the daily relationship afterwards, Guo Jin observed Lu Yi carefully, and found that Lu Yi did have superior insight and decisiveness in many matters.

There are some things that Guo Jin can't come to a conclusion immediately, but Lu Yi can quickly come to a conclusion, suggesting that Guo Jin do this.

Some of the communication problems that Guo Jin encountered in the process of getting along with the people at the bottom were all solved by Lu Yi's suggestions and suggestions to Guo Jin.

Guo Jin gradually felt that Lu Yi was smart and capable, and she was even more sure of Guo Peng's accurate vision of people.

Just after Lu Yi defected from Yangzhou to the Guo Wei regime, he arranged Lu Yi by his side as an important minister for future successors.

What's more worth noting is that Lu Yi doesn't like to show his talents in public.

Lu Yi prefers to suggest to Guo Jin in private that he should never show his dew on the public face, so as not to let others think that he is a very smart person and pay attention to him.

This style makes Guo Jin very happy.

Because as he grows older, Guo Jin gradually doesn't like Cao Tai, Xia Houheng and others still get along with him in the same way they got along when they were young.

He often calls him Boyao by his cousin, and sometimes when they get together to drink and have fun, they like to hang shoulders with him.

Sometimes even drink too much wine and call him by his nickname.

Although everyone called me like this when I was a child, it’s not my childhood now, is it?

Guo Jin is also a father, and many of them are married and have children.

Why is it still the same as before?

If it is understandable in this respect, Guo Jin is really upset that this group of partners don't respect his opinion very much when dealing with affairs.

chapter 1081 one thousand and ninety-one Guo Jin needs to walk her own path

Guo Jin has always established himself in the court as a benevolent and generous person.

According to Guo Peng's arrangement, he used this as a starting point to build his own reputation, which formed a certain contrast with Guo Peng's strictness.

But sometimes there are some things, the more I think about it, the more I get angry.

Obviously Guo Jin has already made a decision, but they still talk about it, feel that this is wrong and that is wrong, let Guo Jin think again and so on.

Pointing fingers, rather rude, not doing what he was supposed to do, but trying to interfere with what Guo Jin should do as a county magistrate.

This matter should be done this way, that matter should be done that way, and there is no unified opinion between them. Sometimes two people will quarrel over one matter, and they don't take Guo Jin's decision seriously.

All kinds of things made Guo Jin feel unhappy.

Guo Jin doesn't know when he started to feel that this way of getting along is not suitable for him, but the unhappiness has always existed.

Realizing this, Guo Jin realized the source of her unhappiness.

His authority has been questioned.

People always like to push forward, and it is not easy to realize the changes in the identity and mentality of both parties in a timely manner.

It was not easy for them to realize in a timely manner what changes had taken place in Guo Jin's heart.

When Guo Jin became more and more like a gentleman than an ordinary person, he no longer needed anything other than their talent and loyalty.

Although he is still covering up and forbearing, if they are smart enough, they should know that something can no longer be done.

But apparently, they haven't.

Seeing the big from the small, Guo Jin began to worry, when he really took power, when the bond between the two of them changed from emotion to power, would these people continue to make progress at the level of power?

After thinking about it for a while, Guo Jin felt that the possibility of such a thing happening was very high.

Emotion is shared by them, but power is not.

If Guo Jin can endure emotionally, it is absolutely unacceptable in terms of power.

Guo Jin is a staunch supporter and successor of Guo Peng's centralized and powerful emperor's will. He has always believed that it is important to hold power and centralize power. Power must not be easily given to others.

Power must be at the center.

In the hands of the emperor!

Power is not something that can be used for jokes. Things that have been distributed between talking and laughing will never exist in Guo Jin's case.

He began to expect someone to realize this, make targeted changes, and respect him.

Respect his authority, his identity and his decisions.

But it's a pity that so far, only Lu Yi has clearly achieved this, and even Lu Yu has not done it well.

And Guo Jin believes that the reason why Lu Yi did this is because Lu Yi is smart on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is because Lu Yi didn't grow up with him, and he doesn't have that kind of superfluous feelings.

Lu Yi knew the superiority and inferiority of the upper and lower, the importance of the important, what to say and what not to say, and he treated the relationship between him and Guo Jin carefully, strictly observing the boundaries between monarchs and ministers and etiquette.

But his little friends have not yet realized that the relationship between them is not entirely based on emotion.

Guo Jin's official position is the county magistrate, who is in charge of the power of a county.

This power is not big, it can even be said to be relatively small, but when Cao Tai, Xia Houheng and others took power with him, they already had a preliminary relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Some power has been mixed into their relationship, rather than pure emotion.

Sometimes, he even feels disgusted by these behaviors of childhood playmates.

There is also the faint idea of ​​wanting to severely punish them for establishing their own authority.

For such a thought, Guo Jin felt a little uneasy, because there was a voice in Guo Jin's heart telling him that these partners were thinking of him.

But he just hates it, he just doesn't want to accept this kind of [thinking].

So he raised this anxiety to Guo Peng, feeling puzzled about his own psychology, and hoped to get Guo Peng's help.

Guo Peng looked very happy.

Because he felt that Guo Jin had developed a sense of power that belonged to him, and began to understand the truth that power cannot be taken by others.

This is very good.

"It's correct, it's not a doubt, you didn't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry, because you are alone, you don't need friends, you only need subordinates."

Guo Peng once again instilled this idea into Guo Jin, and then continued to warn him.

"But now you are not the emperor, so you can't really get angry, punish, you still need to be courteous and corporal, even if it's pretending, even if it's tolerance, you should do the same, to convince people with reason, just right, you can take advantage of this time Take a look.

You have to observe carefully and take a good look at who you can really entrust with heavy responsibilities after you ascend the throne. Your respect and favor are not his presumptuous reliance. People who cannot recognize their own status and situation cannot really entrust them with important responsibilities. . "

Guo Peng firmly engraved this will in the depths of Guo Jin's mind, so that every time Guo Jin gets along with his small team in the future, he will think of Guo Peng's words.

So, Guo Jin learned to forbear.

But Guo Peng told Guo Jin that there are some things that cannot be tolerated. He must hold a bottom line and clearly tell this group of people that they cannot cross this bottom line.

Within a certain range, control your emotions, and stick to your bottom line, let them know that some things cannot be exceeded.

Guo Jin found it difficult to do so, and asked Guo Peng how he controlled the generals of the Xiahou family of the Cao family who came with him since he was a child, and wanted to learn something from it.

In Guo Jin's memory, the relatives of Cao's Xiahou family never dared to disobey Guo Peng's orders.

Guo Peng's orders are consistent.

Neither the domineering Cao Hong nor the illustrious Cao Ren dared to disobey, and they did what they were asked to do.

"It's all typed out, typed out since childhood."

Guo Peng couldn't help laughing: "It's my father's fault that I didn't tell you sooner, but the environment you live in is different from my father's. At that time, the world will be chaotic and the order will be on the verge of collapse. The folk customs are tough, and everyone is used to reasoning with fists and weapons.

In the living environment of being a father, if you are not strong, you will be bullied, and murder is commonplace. In some areas, every household has weapons. When you are a farmer in a good year, you go out to plunder and kill people in a bad year. Walking on the road It is not uncommon to see rotting corpses or bones.
