Chapter 874 Guo Jia wants to go to Western Shu!

"In a time of great strife, all countries are rising up. Only strong soldiers will prevent them from being bullied by enemy countries. As for the treasury, Master Zheng, doesn't he know that the treasury revenue of my Dayu this year is six times that of four years ago!"

"Besides, only by meritorious service can one be promoted to an official position, and the corresponding rewards are all based on meritorious service."

"In this case, the soldiers will inevitably compete with each other to be brave and kill the enemy!"

Zheng Xuan was silent, and Emperor Yu nodded and said, "Okay, has the military merit system been drafted?"

"Your Majesty, I have prepared a list and it will be distributed to various places today!"

"good!"

Shang Yang retreated silently, and Guo Jia said slowly: "Third, it depends on the people's hearts. Looking at the Xia and Sui dynasties, conquering the world is never about dominating the world, but about ruling the world!"

"Only when all the people come together can we be truly unified!"

"I, Dayu, live in the southeast, separated by Xuanjian Pass and mountains, and have little contact with Dayan, Xishu and other countries. I suggest that we hold a cultural meeting of the five countries and prepare a martial arts meeting to accumulate prestige, use this to promote policies and recruit people. Na Magi!”

"allow!"

"Fourth, if you want to strengthen the country, talent is the most important thing. Regardless of family background, age or reputation, all those who are talented and virtuous can be reused!"

"My Dayu's official selection system..."

Hearing Guo Jiayan mention this, the expressions of the courtiers also changed slightly. Since the implementation of the imperial examination system, the entire government and the public have obviously been filled with an atmosphere of imminent rain.

But now listening to Guo Jia's opinion, is it possible to select talents from all over the world?

"I suggest that the examination should be held to select talents. There is no need to go through the various levels of selection in the imperial examination. All well-educated people from the Central Plains can take the examination at the Taixue Academy in Beijing at the beginning of every month. Officials from the three provinces and the Ministry of Civil Affairs will personally preside over it!"

"Fifth, integrate the power of Guanshan, Nanman, and Donghuai. Today, I, Dayu, threaten the two southeastern territories. Guanshan has been included in my land, and Nanman and Donghuai are all bowing down to me, Dayu."

"If we talk about the power of a country, I, Dayu, are far inferior to Dayan. But if we include Donghuai, Guanshan, and Nanman, I, Dayu, are not inferior to Dayan."

"Take the navy from the Eastern Huaihe River, the heroic cavalry from the Southern Barbarians, collect the money and food from the Guanshan Mountains, and gather the hearts of Yu the Great, and then the Great Yu will be invincible!"

"Sixth, win over Mobei, Hunu in the north, and conquer Yingzhou in the east!"

"These three are all troubles for me, Dayu. However, Mobei is defeated and unable to go south, so we can capture them by force. Hunu dominates the northern frontier, so we can unite with them to contain Dayan."

"As for the small island of Japan, although the country is small, it is extremely rich. I suggest that we send troops to quell it!"

"Seventh..."

Words of advice came out of Guo Jia's mouth one after another, and the civil and military officials in the court were all shocked. Emperor Yu was even more excited and his body was trembling, and he nodded his head.

"Accurate!"

"Accurate!"

"Everything is accurate!"

Guo Jia smiled, but his face remained calm and calm: "Your Majesty, for this ninth strategy, I would like to ask you to send an envoy to Xishu!"

"Um?"

Not only Emperor Yu's expression changed slightly, but Ning Fan also looked at Guo Jia suddenly.

"As an envoy to Xishu?"

"Exactly!"

Guo Jia nodded and spoke in a steady and forceful tone: "The population of Dayan is several times that of Dayu. With the strength of my country, Dayu, even if I can defeat Dayan, it will not take more than three or two years!"

"Now that the situation is urgent, we can only unite and gather the strength of all countries to achieve great success!"

"I am willing to go to Western Shu to lobby and implement the strategy of making friends from far away and attacking close by!"

Before Emperor Yu could speak, Ning Fan stood up and said, "Let's lobby Western Shu. There is a civil service department and Honglu Temple in the court. My father can also send imperial envoys. As a filial piety, you are weak and should not travel far!"

"Your Highness!"

Guo Jia bowed and said with a smile: "Are you really going to have to do this with me?"

"Why?"

Emperor Yu also understood Guo Jia's physical condition and was unwilling to let him travel far.

Ning Fan also looked puzzled, but Guo Jia did not speak in the palace and said calmly: "Only I can convince Xi Shu!"

"Where's Kong Ming?"

"Kong Ming is in charge of the sect and it is not appropriate to act without permission."

"Ministry of Rites..."

"Master Zhao is not good at words, so it may be difficult to convince him!"

"There are also Changsun Wuji, Dong Zhongshu, Xun Yu, and Wang Mang under Gu's command. Can't they all go?"

Guo Jia hesitated for a moment, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It has to be me!"

Seeing Guo Jia's expression, Ning Fan stopped asking any more questions.

After the morning dynasty, all the central departments also began to be busy. Ning Fan's nine strategies to strengthen the country made Dayu stronger and stronger, and the overall look was completely new, laying the foundation for Dayu.

Now, Guo Jia's nine pieces of advice are like pillars to the sky, forcibly opening up a road to the sky for Dayu!

…

"Give me a reason!"

"Yu Gong, among all the civil and military officials in the dynasty, there is really only Jia who is idle. Besides, Jia has been studying Western Shu for the past few years. No one knows them better than me."

"Besides, this trip is particularly important to me, Dayu. If we don't make it at once, I'm afraid it will delay our plans!"

"In private matters, Jia has some unfinished business in Xishu."

"oh?"

Ning Fan showed some doubts, but Guo Jia smiled bitterly and said: "She is a girl from Lingmiaofang, a native of Xishu. After meeting her two years ago, she disappeared."

"I wrote in recently that I am in Xishu. That night was just an accident!"

"My lord, Jia's son is over a year old!"

"What the hell?"

Ning Fan was stunned for a moment, his face filled with great exclamation. How dare he successfully create a human being in a brothel?

"Fengxiao, are you sure he is your seed?"

"Can't be wrong!"

Guo Jia's face showed a bit of bitterness. After he learned about this matter, he used a lot of force to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Moreover, it was indeed an accident, and the woman did not look like a prostitute, but rather a lady from a noble family!

It was truly wonderful!

"You, a playboy, will sooner or later fall on a woman's belly."

"Hehe!"

Guo Jia smiled frivolously, and Ning Fan sighed helplessly: "Okay, since it involves your private affairs, I will agree!"

"Thank you, lord!"

"Go down and prepare, remember to take care of your health on this trip, I don't want to wait for me to come without you, Guo Fengxiao, by my side!"

"Yes!"

Guo Jia also bowed deeply, with a look of melancholy on his face.

"Come here!"

"Here!"

"Call Hua Tuo!"

"Yes!"

After Guo Jia left, Ning Fan sent someone to invite Hua Tuo. Even though he didn't know much about medicine, he could see that Guo Jia's body was basically exhausted!

"Greetings, my lord."

"Sir, please excuse me!"

Ning Fan stood up, walked to Hua Tuo, and asked solemnly: "Mr. Hua, how is Fengxiao's illness?"

"Alas!"

Hua Tuo also sighed lightly, and said helplessly: "My lord, you also know that I am good at external injuries, not internal treatment."

"Fengxiao is a congenital weak disease, and he has been addicted to alcohol and sex for many years..."

"I gave Fengxiao a few prescriptions at the beginning. If he takes the medicine well, I dare not say that his disease will be cured!"

"At least it can extend his life for ten years!"

"But he still..."
