Guo Jia is an extremely powerful person, and there are poems praising him:
Born Guo Fengxiao, a hero ranks among the heroes.
The history of scriptures is hidden in the abdomen, and the armor soldiers are hidden in the chest.
Operational planning is like Fan Li, decision-making is like Chen Ping.
It is a pity that he died first, and the pillars of the Central Plains fell apart.
Others say: If you remain filial until you die, you will never be enlightened.
Of course this is just flattery.
But it can also show Guo Fengxiao’s style from the side.
In the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, famous ministers and fierce generals were like stars in the sky, and he was one of the brightest stars.
Liu Xiang met Guo Jia in the side hall of the East Corridor. He was a bit thin, with an oval face, less flesh on his cheeks, and his cheekbones were a bit high. Like himself, he only had a beard on his upper lip and no beard on his chin.
The general is just over seven feet tall, and his robes are relatively loose, giving him a sense of sloppiness. Perhaps this is the style he is pursuing, with his clothes and belt acting like the wind.
It smells like wine, and if you look carefully, you can see wine stains on the clothes.
Do you want to use rude behavior to test your own mind?
Otherwise, when someone takes the initiative to ask for a meeting, he will have a drink first and then come back.
In the Han Dynasty, etiquette and moral character were closely linked. Failure to be polite was a sign of immorality, and you would be despised by others, and you might even be punished.
The crime of disobeying the emperor is not a small one. Although he is not the emperor yet, if he punishes Guo Jia with this crime, no one will complain for him.
"Don't be surprised, General. On the way here, I saw a winery selling new wine, which is made from grapes. I haven't drunk grape wine yet, so I couldn't help myself and took a few sips."
Guo Jia explained something about drinking, and he still couldn't finish the taste: "It's not delicious, it's really good wine!"
He seemed to want to go back and have some drinks.
It's better not to explain this. Even if you want to test me, you don't have to be so truthful, right?
It's so out of tune.
Looking at Guo Fengxiao, whose face was red and had obviously drunk a lot, Liu Xiang couldn't laugh or cry. She resisted the urge to roll her eyes and decided to accompany him to play the role of a generous hero: "I open that wine shop, how is the business?
"
"The house is full of guests and business is booming!" Guo Jia was so drunk there that he could only praise with his thumbs out.
"The grapes from Bingzhou are used, but the taste is still a little worse. The wine from the Western Regions is better. It is easy to get drunk and sober up easily. It is a treasure among wines."
Wine has been around since the Western Han Dynasty, also known as peach wine, which was introduced from the Western Regions. Until the Eastern Han Dynasty, wine was a luxury product and expensive.
Mengda's father, Mengtuo, bribed himself with a bottle of wine to get the official position of governor of Liangzhou.
This shows how precious this wine is.
But Liu Xiang's selling of wine was not all about making money. Bingzhou had many mountains but little land. He asked the people to open many orchards in the mountains. If he only sold fresh fruits, he would deceive the ordinary people. His purpose was to use the fruits to make wine.
Not only wine, but also cider, apricot wine, and bagel made from a variety of fruits.
The Han people are very good at wine. The mainstream wine is rice wine brewed from rice, which consumes a lot of food. A strict ban on wine can only be a temporary measure. Over time, illegal brewing will inevitably spread.
It's better to clear the air than to block it, so he wanted to use fruit wine instead of rice wine to reduce food consumption.
As soon as the wine came on the market, it immediately became popular all over the country. Unfortunately, the sales of other fruit wines were not very good. They were not blended with glycerin and were too sour and did not suit the taste of the Han people.
The big guys are drunkards and they like to drink sweet wine.
But it can't be said that it can't be sold, because the use of grain to make wine has been banned in recent years, rice wine is scarce, and the price has doubled. Although wine is on the market in large quantities, it is more expensive than rice wine. Those old drunkards who are short of money, go to
When you are addicted to alcohol, you can only buy some cheap fruit wine to quench your craving.
Guo Jia was so drunk that he couldn't talk about business. He probably didn't want to talk about business today. He might as well do some market research with this drunkard.
“Has Fengxiao ever drank any other fruit wine?”
"I tasted it and it was sour and astringent, making it hard to eat."
"What if there's only fruit wine?"
Guo Jia's face was filled with pain: "Then I have no choice but to do it and cure my hangover addiction."
When he said this, he frowned and his facial features almost shrank together, looking extremely sad, as if he was recalling the sourness of the fruit wine, and seemed to be worried about having no wine to drink.
In just a few words, he understood Liu Xiang's intention. He opened a wine shop and sold wine not to make money, but to save food and use fruit wine instead of rice wine.
It’s going to be hard for you in the future!
The wine is a bit expensive, so I can't drink it often.
He rubbed his hands and prepared to give some advice: "Under the general's rule, there are good harvests every year and there is no shortage of food. Why do we have to ban alcohol? Why not brew less?"
Liu Xiang was surprised, with a complex look on his face. He didn't expect that with just two sentences, he could guess his intentions. He was worthy of the insightful Guo Fengxiao!
The biggest difference between Guo Jia and other counselors is that his plans are based on people's hearts. When it comes to civil affairs, he is not proficient in it. When it comes to military strategy, he is not top-notch. But when it comes to grasping people's hearts, he is very good in Han Dynasty.
Among the wise men of the last three kingdoms, he was the best.
But the first advice given to him by such a wise and resourceful man was actually to persuade him not to abstain from drinking. Is this to make it easier for him to drink?
Pure alcoholic, no more running away!
"Is Fengxiao admonishing you?"
Guo Jia was also a little embarrassed. Although he had already learned from Xun Wenruo that Liu Qiaoqi was not a rigid and strict master, it was indeed unjustifiable that his first advice was for drinking.
But what’s life without wine to drink?
"Hey, General, saving food is definitely good governance. But if you ban rice and wine, smuggling will inevitably lead to smuggling and trouble will continue. If you don't care, the government orders will be blocked and it will lose its dignity. If you strictly investigate, it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and it will be easy to provoke.
The people's resentment is not worth the loss. I hope the general will think twice."
Liu Xiang laughed angrily. You are really smart to come up with such a reason for drinking.
"Fengxiao is really smart. I will think about it carefully. You are drunk today. Let's go back and rest first. We will talk about this in detail tomorrow. Alas! It's not that I don't like drinking. The people under my rule have no shortage of food, but the world
There are still so many victims suffering from hunger and there is not enough food."
"The general cares about the world, and he is indeed kind. Today Jiameng is in trouble. General, please forgive me." Guo Jia bowed and resigned.
When we meet today, there is no counselor talking freely to the lord about the general situation of the world!
Liu Xiang was dissatisfied and looked at Guo Jia who had retreated to the palace gate and was about to go out. He couldn't help complaining: "You don't have to be drunk to test your filial piety. Although I dare not compare myself to the Mingjun Holy Lord, I am not narrow-minded.
Ladies, you can put aside your worries and just act according to your heart."
Guo Jia turned around and smiled, a little embarrassed.
"I didn't test the general. I was indeed attracted by the grape wine today and couldn't help but take a few sips. If the general doesn't like it, I will pay attention to it in the future."
Liu Xiang was dumbfounded and said, "You are so out of touch!"
I can’t blame Cao Cao for being so fond of Guo Jia and being so wary of the Yingchuan nobles, but his mastermind was still Xun You!
It turns out the roots are here!
"That's not necessary, you can do whatever you want."
A country is easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to change. Guo Jia will definitely use it. If he restrains him on such a trivial matter, and the negative emotions slowly accumulated, who knows what consequences it will bring?
"As long as you are happy." He added.
Hearing this, Guo Jia laughed, from the bottom of his heart, and laughed very happily.
He crossed his arms and made a bow: "Yingchuan and Guo Fengxiao, I have met my lord."
The Lord is not a vulgar person, which is good. It is in line with his wishes. People who are bound by common etiquette will not get his approval.
Liu Xiang returned the favor, thinking that Guo Jia's brain circuit was abnormal. Why did he suddenly recognize his master?
