Chapter 164
There was no dream all night, and the next morning, Guo Hao got up happily, but Qiu Nan was a little in poor spirits.
Guo Hao asked his maid Azhu to help her get into the car and continue to sleep, but he followed him on a horse and continued to walk forward. After all, he went out to do business, not really a fun trip.
After walking a while, a few people suddenly walked out of the woods. Guo Hao didn't know the other party's purpose and stopped the horse vigilantly.
“Well…”
Guo Hao stopped and looked carefully. It was not someone else who came, but Guo Wei's personal eunuch Liu Song.
"Mr. Guo, Your Majesty has an oral order, come and accept the order!"
Guo Hao quickly turned over and got off the horse when he heard this. Just as he was about to bow down, Liu Song supported him.
"Don't be too rumored by the affairs of the Yuan Guo. Your Majesty asked me to tell you that you should try to go to several prefectures and counties as much as possible when you go out this time, and don't rush to Yizhou!"
"How many more prefectures and counties?"
Guo Hao was stunned for a moment, unable to understand Guo Wei's intention, but he had to listen to the emperor's will, so he bowed to accept the order.
"I received the order."
After saying the oral order, Liu Song smiled. Guo Hao was usually nice to him, so Liu Song and Guo Hao were actually quite close.
"Sir Guo, this time you go out, just take a look at it. Go to a few more places and wait until the weather is warmer before going to Yizhou."
"Thank you for your advice from Eunuch Liu, but the officials still don't understand. Lord Li was anxious to urge me to set off, but His Majesty asked me to go more places. Now that the Hezhong rebelled, the court is waiting to use money. Shouldn't this matter be made as soon as possible and open source for the court!"
After Guo Hao finished speaking, Li Song smiled and said, "Mr. Guo, you have always been very smart. Why are you confused now? The court is indeed short of money. Your Majesty has reduced the cost of the palace. These problems cannot be solved in a short time.
Liu Cong in the river rebelled, Khitan was eyeing him, His Majesty had just ascended to the great treasure, what is the most important thing now? Can't you see it!"
After Liu Song's explanation, Guo Hao suddenly realized.
Yes, even if he flew to Yizhou immediately, the sea water would not immediately turn into money, but Liu Chong's rebellion could easily make other governors have ideas.
Although the court took some measures to move several Jiedushi, it was difficult to ensure that they had no mind. The emergence of the Northern Han Dynasty was an impact on the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Just like when Li Shouzhen rebelled at that time, if Guo Wei failed to pacify the three towns, the rule of the Later Han Dynasty would be very likely to be threatened. After all, once Li Shouzhen survived this disaster, he would never be in a corner. He would continue to snowball until the Later Han Dynasty was banned.
The existence of the Northern Han Dynasty also has this possibility, so Guo Wei was trying to calm down while calming people's hearts. At the same time, he also had to observe the situation of the various governors, which required one person to do.
Unfortunately, Guo Hao was chosen. To put it nicely, this job is to inspect the emperor, but to put it badly, it is to be annoying.
Moreover, after this incident, Guo Hao was completely labeled as Guo Wei. In the future, any military governor would never win him over.
However, Guo Hao doesn't care about these things. After all, Guo Wei can't live for a few years, and Chai Rong can't live for long. As long as he has a good relationship with Lao Zhao, he will be stable in his life.
"Thank you, Eunuch Liu for your advice. I have some thoughts about Eunuch Liu taking it to tea and invite my father-in-law to drink when I come back."
When Eunuch Liu saw what Guo Hao was in his hand, his eyes narrowed into a slit. He liked Guo Hao, who was rich, sensible, and had a good reputation, which was difficult for other officials to do.
"Mr. Guo is so polite. Since this is the case, our family will not delay Master Guo's journey. I wish Master Guo a smooth journey."
"Thank you."
The two of them were polite, and Liu Song took the people away. Guo Hao looked at the backs of the people and suddenly spoke, "Li Hui."
"Subordinate is here."
"I won't go to Songzhou for the first time. How can I miss such a good opportunity? I just happened to have a honeymoon with Qiunan."
“Honeymoon?”
Li Hui touched his head and asked, "Sir, if you don't go to Songzhou, where are we going? What honeymoon do you think? Is that a river?"
Seeing Li Hui's face was confused, Guo Hao smiled and patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "You haven't gotten married yet, are you?"
Li Hui clasped his fists and said, "Sir, my son is ten years old this year."
“…”
Li Hui is the leader of Guo Hao and his group. He is a disciple of the Beggars' Sect. He is very fist-and-feet, and he is only twenty-five years old this year.
Originally, Guo Hao thought he was a beggar before and should not have the chance to get married. Unexpectedly, he had already had a wife and children could make soy sauce.
"Okay, it seems you don't have the chance to experience it, unless you marry another wife, but you can't do it now."
Li Hui was even more confused when he heard Guo Hao say this. Didn’t he say that he was rushing to go? Why did he involve marrying a wife?
"grown ups……"
"Needless to say, let's go south now and go to Chenzhou first to prepare the post office along the way. We only walk on the main road, not the small road!"
After Guo Hao finished speaking, he stopped riding a horse. He turned around and leaned against the soft couch. Qiunan had woken up inside. He heard that someone had come from the palace, so she was also ready.
"Brother Hao, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
Guo Hao shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just don't rush to go to Yizhou. Let's go south to have fun first and take you to experience the magnificent rivers and mountains!"
I heard that when I went south to play, the master and servant were both happy. Although they were not walking fast before, they were rushing to travel, so it was quite hard.
But looking at Guo Hao's current state, he was obviously very relaxed. It seemed that he was not joking, they could really go out for fun.
"If we go south, then can we go to Jiangnan!"
Guo Hao shook his head and said, "You can go anywhere in the Great Zhou territory, but not in the Jiangnan. After all, I am an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so how can I go to the enemy country?"
Qiu Nan was a little disappointed when he heard this, but she was willing to be with Guo Hao wherever she went.
"Okay, then let's experience the magnificent mountains and rivers. As long as I can be with Brother Hao, I'm willing to go anywhere!"
Guo Hao laughed and shouted to the outside, "Go away!"
The group set off again, not to the east, but to the south.
Judging from the map, the territory of Later Zhou is not as large as that of later generations, but if you walk step by step, you will never be able to finish it in less than a year or two.
There are highlands and plateaus on the west side, and Guo Hao has no plans to go there, but the east side can be turned around. As for the north side, Chai Rong is in charge, and those governors can't make much waves.
At this time, Guo Hao had already left Feng very far, and he had to go back to Chenzhou for a distance, and there was an inn every thirty miles. These were all left by the Tang Dynasty. Guo Hao could walk ninety miles a day before, that is, two inns passed, but now he is not in a hurry.
The group stopped at the inn in front. Guo Hao and Qiu Nan got out of the car. Guo Hao walked into the inn, and a messenger inside was resting.
Guo Hao smiled at him and nodded. The messenger looked at Guo Hao's official uniform and was a little surprised. He thought to himself that he had never heard of any high-ranking official coming.
The messenger had a task and continued to rush on his way after a rest. Guo Hao decided to stay at the inn today and rush on his way tomorrow.
But it was still early now and I couldn't sleep even if I could sleep, so Guo Hao took Qiunan and planned to go out for a walk, and there was a county town in front of me.
Guo Hao took Qiunan in front, Azhu and two followers followed behind. Before he could walk far, he saw a big river with boats passing by.
"Huh, what kind of river is this?"
Guo Hao turned around and asked Li Hui, but Li Hui didn't know either, so he clasped his fists and said, "Young master, wait a moment, my subordinates go and ask."
Guo Hao nodded and walked forward slowly with Qiunan, while Li Hui quickly stepped forward, ran to a small pier, and found a boatman.
Li Hui came back when he didn't have much effort and said to Guo Hao: "Go back to the young master, the boatman said that this is the Bian River, also called the Tongji Canal."
"Bianhe?"
Guo Hao looked at the ships passing by the river and found that many of them were cargo ships. Suddenly he remembered that Emperor Yang of Sui once did something that turned out to be one of the reasons for the destruction of the country.
Guo Hao didn't notice it before, but now he discovered that this Tongji Canal is obviously a canal, and it connects north and south, and can reach Luoyang!
The predecessors planted trees and the later generations enjoyed the cool air. Like Qin Shihuang, countless people did not understand their greatness and kept scolding them, but what they used afterwards was the result of others.
Guo Hao comes from later generations, and may be in many things that people cannot understand in the world. Maybe he will bear a stigma like the two of them, and he doesn’t know whether it is worth it or not.
"I don't see the ancients in front of me, and I don't see the coming from behind. I think of the vastness of the world, and I burst into tears!"
