At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Anyway, it is small-scale and does not affect the overall situation.

Guo Peng often issued small-scale rotation garrison orders. He felt that which army had been in a certain place for a long time, and would issue such an order to ask the army to switch positions with the garrison in a certain area and rotate the garrison.

Before Guo Jin ascended the throne, Guo Peng hadn't issued a comprehensive rotation garrison order for three years, so this time, Guo Jin issued the rotation garrison order of the army with the order of the new emperor, ordering the elite standing troops from all over the country to rotate garrison.

Guo Jin once again exercised his power as the emperor, and after the order was carried out, he felt a sense of comfort in his heart, which made him feel that it was good to be an emperor.

Before helping Guo Peng handle government affairs, he was always cautious and did not dare to make decisions without authorization. He hoped to get Guo Peng's approval after handling a trivial matter.

But this time, Guo Peng told her that he can deal with it as he wants, and there is no need to ask for instructions.

At that moment, Guo Jin felt the difference between the prince and the emperor.

There was no need to ask Guo Peng for instructions, he was arbitrary, so Guo Jin's desire to make decisions that had been suppressed for a long time broke out, and it was out of control, and he felt addicted to handling government affairs.

He felt so happy, so happy, so happy, and felt that his life had reached its peak.

When you open your eyes, you are dealing with government affairs. When you close your eyes, you are still thinking about government affairs. I hope that the night will soon pass and the day will come soon, so that I can handle government affairs better and more.

What Guo Peng felt was unspeakably miserable, in the eyes of Guo Jin at this time, it was definitely a blessing.

The attendants and cabinet staff in the South Study were left in the South Study on a large scale for a long time to assist him in handling government affairs. They even had to eat in the South Study and take their lunch breaks in the South Study.

As the emperor, Guo Jin took the lead in managing politics diligently. He ate and drank in the South Study Room, and took a nap on the throne for a nap. It took only about two sticks of incense, and then he began to immerse himself in government affairs.

A large number of government affairs accumulated at the end of last year and the beginning of this year were disposed of at a very high speed, one after another, and they were more diligent than when Guo Peng was handling government affairs.

It is certainly a good thing that the new emperor is so hardworking, but the problem is that some people seem to realize that Guo Jin's desire for power is no worse than Guo Peng's.

Although it is not so obvious, and it is difficult to make a conclusion, Guo Jin is obviously in the joy of exercising power and cannot extricate himself. .

One month after he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Guo Jin not only dealt with a large amount of government affairs, military affairs, and finance accumulated at the end of Yande's 13th year, but also handled a series of government affairs that surged at the beginning of the first year of Xingyuan in an orderly manner.

Everything is as if Guo Peng is still the emperor.

Everything Guo Jin did was in line with Guo Peng's way of handling government affairs in everyone's impression, and nothing changed.

If there is something to say, it is that Guo Jin has done faster and more than Guo Peng.

On days when there is no great court meeting, a large number of courtiers will be summoned to the South Study Room for questioning and handling affairs.

The heads of various departments were summoned by Guo Jin many times and personally reported to him the handling of government affairs.

He personally issued a lot of orders, so that many offices were busy from top to bottom, officials came in and out, you came and I went, it was very lively.

Some people vaguely remembered that a long time ago, when Guo Peng was still young, he also handled government affairs in the same way.

Call the officials to your side, and deal with government affairs together in an institution called [Government Affairs Office], working day and night from morning to night, turning the wasteland of war that is waiting to be rebuilt into a fertile soil that can produce a lot of food.

Now, the new emperor seems to follow suit, and seems to want to turn the South Study Room into the former government office.

Guo Jin tried his best, and it took him a month to make people believe that he was a person capable of succeeding Guo Peng's career.

Guo Jin felt that in this way, he would naturally gain Guo Peng's trust, and Guo Peng would be very at ease and very sure that his choice was correct.

His position has thus been consolidated.

Although it is true that this is true, Guo Peng's big moves in the department really made Guo Jin a little unexpected.

Holding a textbook of "Gewuxue", Guo Jin flipped through some of the contents and was shocked.

Guo Peng said in the book that they live on a sphere, not on a large piece of flat land. The essence of this world is completely different from the impression people have in traditional concepts.

This is something Guo Jin never expected.

"Zhang De, have you heard of the round sky?"

Chapter 1455. No one cares more about whether his brother can stand firm than him

"Zhang De, have you heard of the round sky?"

Guo Jin put down the book "Gewu Xue" in her hand, looked at Zhang De, the great eunuch beside her, and asked him a question.

Zhang De bowed his body and thought for a while.

"Your Majesty, when I was young, I heard the old people in my hometown talk about the round sky and the earth. The old people said that the sky is round and the earth is square, so we live on a large flat land and can see the sun rise. and fall."

Guo Jin nodded.

"Then if someone tells you that not only the sky is round, but the earth is also round, and we live on a huge sphere, do you think it is true or false?"

Zhang De blinked, but didn't recall it for a while.

"Your Majesty, this servant does not quite understand what His Majesty means..."

"It's not what I said, what the Taishanghuang said. The Taishanghuang said that we live on a sphere. The reason why we didn't fall to the ground is because this ball is like a magnet, which can firmly absorb all the people living on it. .”

Guo Jin spread out the book "Gewu Xue" and pointed out this passage to Zhang De.

Zhang De took a look, his face was full of weirdness.

"This...Your Majesty, the slave is just an eunuch. Although he can read in the inner study, he has never read any books and has no teacher. He really doesn't understand these principles. The Supreme Emperor is a very smart person, so what about the slave? Can you understand the holy will of the Supreme Emperor?"

Zhang De demoted himself to nothing, trying to avoid Guo Jin's life-threatening series of questions.

Guo Jin was silent for a while.

"Forget it, you really don't understand, but...how come the Supreme Emperor never told me about this? We live on the same ball? Really? How did the Supreme Emperor know?

Speaking of it, the Supreme Emperor really knows a lot of things, many things I don't know, all the Supreme Emperor told me, many things, unbelievable, but very right, I really can't figure it out..."

Guo Jin looked at this "Gewu Xue" with a puzzled expression.

"Then... what is His Majesty going to do?"

Zhang De looked at Guo Jin.

Guo Jin looked at Zhang De.

"What else can I do? I promised the Supreme Emperor that no matter what happens in the department, I will not participate or interfere. When it comes to speaking, I must do it. Otherwise, how can I keep my word? I am Jun, Jun No jokes, no regrets."

Guo Jin put the "Gewu Xue" aside.

"Pay a little attention to these things, just tell me, don't interfere, don't get involved, what the Supreme Emperor wants to do, you can't object, you can only support, so as not to make the Supreme Emperor unhappy, understand?"

"The servant understands."

Zhang De nodded in agreement.

This matter was put aside by Guo Jin. Although he cared about what Guo Peng wanted to do, he didn't dare to involve too much.

What kind of light, what kind of power, what kind of refraction, etc., he also has only a half-knowledge of many things.

He understands mathematics and has logical thinking ability. Guo Peng has cultivated a dialectical way of thinking about problems, but these things he has never heard of are indeed difficult to understand.

But these are not important, the most important thing is to make Guo Peng happy and satisfied.

He also pointed out that Guo Peng was satisfied with him, and then helped him take the blame for his follow-up enfeoffment of his brothers.

Otherwise, Guo Peng would be dissatisfied with him and stand up and say that he was not filial, and he would have a big head.

Therefore, Guo Peng's request that the children of the royal family hide their names and change their identities to enter the school and study with ordinary students was also approved by him.

Guo Peng asked the children of the royal family, especially Guo Jin's sons, to change their names and live outside the palace when they reached the age, and to live the same school life as ordinary students under the protection of special personnel.

During their schooling career, it is necessary for them to spend this time outside the imperial palace to cultivate their understanding of the hardships of folk life and a deeper understanding of folk life.

In this way, no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, the governance will not be as meaningless as a castle in the air. This is very important.

The children can only return to the palace on holidays, and the rest of the time must be spent outside the imperial city.

Guo Jin remembered that Guo Peng once taught his younger brothers in this way.

Even now, the 16-year-old younger brother Guo Heng is still living outside the imperial city, studying hard in the Taixue, studying and studying non-stop in order to pass the exam, and his life is very exciting.

Thinking of his previous hard study experience, and the ease of control he has now, he feels that there is nothing wrong with all of this.

Without the hard study at that time and the hard experience later, he would not have taken control of government affairs at this time, and he would not be able to control power even if he was given it, let alone imperial power.

Anyway, Guo Peng has the final say on the education of the children of the royal family, and he doesn't care about it.

Guo Peng was able to educate him, and he was not worried that Guo Peng would teach his sons astray. Accepting the education of their imperial grandfather was not a bad thing in Guo Jin's opinion.

Studying with Guo Peng, you can also understand what is a ruler, what is a citizen, what is a Li Shu, know your own position, know what you should do, what you should not do, what you should believe, and what you should not believe.

At least the position of being a king cannot be missed.

The buttocks can't be crooked, once the buttocks are crooked, no matter how good their talents are, they are useless.

Once the buttocks are crooked, the higher the talent, the greater the threat to the Wei Empire.

The Guo family is a king, and must not lose the position of a king. He must firmly hold on to taxes and land, and severely crack down on tax evasion groups, otherwise he will end up worse than Li Shu.

Guo Peng handed over a series of powers belonging to the emperor, such as military power, financial power, and political power, to him. He only retained a power in charge of education. He couldn't satisfy all these requirements.

What he is more concerned about now, apart from stabilizing his position and power as soon as possible, is how the brother Guo Jun who has gone out to expand the territory is doing.

No one cared more about his brother's standing than he did, it was true.

If his brother can't gain a firm foothold, doesn't it mean that Guo Peng's enfeoffment policy is problematic and difficult to implement?

Once this policy is difficult to implement, won't he have to worry about dealing with his brothers again?

Although Guo Qiong was sealed, he still hasn't left. Obviously, he also has the idea of ​​​​waiting and watching the situation.

Ah Jun, you must not lose the chain, you must succeed.

With such anticipation, Guo Jin earnestly prayed that his brother would be successful soon.

Perhaps Guo Jin's prayers had an effect, Guo Jun has successfully landed in the Indian mainland.

Although they encountered storms and dangers at sea on the way, they were lucky and saved their lives, but sank a few ships and lost some food and grass.

His landing position is in the southeastern part of India, in the relatively wide coastal plain area in the eastern part of the Deccan Plateau.

Several rivers originating from the Deccan Plateau flow into the Indian Ocean from west to east, bringing abundant water resources to the coastal plain. The water vapor from the Indian Ocean further makes this generation abundant precipitation and fertile soil, which is conducive to the development of agriculture.

Almost immediately after landing on this land, those agricultural experts who followed the ship on the sea for more than two months told Guo Jun very excitedly that this place is suitable for the development of agriculture.

In time, this place will definitely become a fertile soil rich in food, and it will definitely be able to fill their pioneering needs without long-term blood transfusions from the court.

Ah, I know, of course I know it's suitable for agriculture.

However, I came here not just to develop agriculture.

What I want is to build my own country.

Before Guo Jun led the main force to land, the place where they landed was already a stronghold on the coastal trade route of the Wei Empire. Some naval soldiers had already established a small stronghold here to manage the small stronghold, and they were waiting for merchant ships from China to dock, rest and reorganize at any time. Replenish.

The arrival of Guo Jun made the managers here very excited. They enthusiastically told Guo Jun about the surrounding situation and the issue of the aboriginal settlements that Guo Jun was very concerned about.

"That is to say, many people live in this area, and many people have already reclaimed these lands?"

Guo Jun's eyes lit up, and she asked with great interest.

"Yes."

Wang Haibo, the top manager of the stronghold and a mid-level naval officer, reported to Guo Jun: "There are eighteen barbarian settlements within a radius of tens of miles around this area. We fought three of them and beat them back.

They seem to think that our presence here is not a good thing for them, but after we beat them back, they changed their attitude. Eighteen Yi tribes began to choose to trade with us, exchanging their crops for our weapons, There are also some gadgets. "

"What weapons did they use?"

"Wooden sticks, stones, and things like bows and arrows, as well as some hunting dogs can be put on the battlefield by them. There are also irons, but the quantity is very small and the quality is very poor, so they are not our opponents at all. , but we have few people, so it is inconvenient to pursue them.”

Guo Jun nodded, and asked again: "So you changed weapons with them?"

Guo Jun looked at Wang Haibo.

Wang Haibo scratched his head.

"Change, why not change? A little more food, we can eat better. The food here is similar to ours. It can be eaten. To tell you the truth, I really don't care about the seafood. The amount of land we have reclaimed here And it's really limited."

"Aren't you afraid that they will use the weapons they exchanged to attack you again?"

"I was also worried, so I was careful at the beginning. I only gave knives, not bows and crossbows. In the end, they didn't use weapons to fight us, but they went to fight those tribes who didn't change weapons with us."

Wang Haibo smiled mockingly: "Then the defeated tribes also came to exchange weapons with us, and then fought again after changing, and then changed again after the weapons were used up, and fought again after changing, which is very interesting.

After the fight, some Yi tribes even invited our people to help them fight, help them command, and give us property and prisoners of war if they win, and we have received many awards for this. "
