At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Page 426

At this moment, Guo Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and then gasped violently.

"I can't stand it anymore? I'm panting? What you will face in the future is much more terrifying than being a father."

Guo Peng raised the corners of his mouth, took Guo Jin's hand, and pulled him in front of him: "At the beginning, your grandfather asked if you wanted to marry the Cao family, risking being discriminated against by the scholars, and Cao's family. Marriage, as the father said, he had no way out, he had to do this, and then he went all the way to today.

At the beginning, your grandfather gave you a choice, and there was another road in front of your father, and you chose this path yourself. Today, you are the same, and your father also gave you the last chance to choose. If you choose this path, then, from now on, you really have no way out.

From now on, you are the only heir of the father. The father will protect you, cultivate the power you need, and help you eliminate the competition of other brothers. Even if it is your own brother, the father will not allow him Touch your status.

But, at the same time, A Jin, you must also remember that choosing you for your father, taking huge risks to cultivate power for you, eliminate competition for you, and protect you is for you to inherit this career. If you fail to live up to the expectations of being a father, you should also know what you will face. "

Guo Peng just looked at Guo Jin like this, looked at Guo Jin, his eyes never shifted.

Guo Jin's body tensed up.

"My son understands that if that day comes, my son will be the second Liu Shi."

"Very well, you already understand what power is, what is royal family, and what is a crown prince. When you choose an heir in the future, you should do the same before making a decision. Your eldest son is the first choice, but not absolutely. Yes, you are different from Liu Bang, being a father will help you and give you a chance to choose."

After saying this, the father and son were silent for a while.

Then Guo Peng suddenly stood up.

He hugged Guo Jin tightly in his arms.

Guo Jin was a little surprised by the sudden hug from his father.

"As a monarch, it's only natural for me to treat you like this, but as a father, Jin, as a father... I'm sorry..."

He patted Guo Jin on the back hard, took a deep breath, Guo Peng let go of Guo Jin, looked at the bewildered heir, and smiled.

"Go on, take a good look around the factory and find out, here is the biggest help for us to complete the second step. With this, we can start a war against the scholars and have the possibility of victory."

Guo Jin was a little confused and pushed away by Guo Peng, who asked him to leave.

He walked forward in a daze for a while, and suddenly looked back at Guo Peng standing in the pavilion. Seeing Guo Peng looking at him, he turned his head quickly, and then quickened his pace of leaving.

At the same time, very abruptly, Guo Jin couldn't hold back her nose sore, and tears welled up in her eyes.

In mid-to-late October, after Guo Peng rejected Han Emperor Liu Jian's second Zen edict, Han Emperor's third Zen edict came along with the edict asking Guo Peng to go to Luoyang to discuss matters.

Undoubtedly, Yecheng officials and scholars encouraged many people to kneel at the gate of Wei Wangfu, respectfully begging Guo Peng to obey the emperor's edict, stand in place of Han, proclaim himself emperor, and rule the world.

The momentum was so great that the entire population of more than 50 people in Yecheng was shaken by it.

People scrambled to spread the news that Emperor Han’s third abdication edict came to Yecheng, and they dragged each other to the Wei Palace, completely “from the heart” to ask Guo Peng to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, so as to bring everyone a peaceful and prosperous world.

Everyone shouted long live to Wei Wangfu, shouted long live "from the heart", and shouted long live "very sincerely".

They really "hoped so much" that Guo Peng would become emperor, and the eyes of hope were red, for fear that Guo Peng would not be emperor.

One or two are like gamblers on krypton gold, they can't be stopped at all.

Someone Guo would naturally not do this.

But he would not accept the abdication edict this time, so someone Guo rejected the third emperor's abdication edict, and faced west in the Wei Palace, crying in the direction of Luoyang.

However, although he rejected the edict of abdication, he accepted the order to visit the emperor in Luoyang.

"Don't persuade me anymore. I want to meet Your Majesty in person and ask Your Majesty to withdraw the imperial edict. Guo Zifeng is a Han minister, how can he presume to be emperor? I understand everything you said in my heart, but I will never accept such a thing ! I'm going to see His Majesty!"

Guo Peng returned to the backyard with red eyes and rejected further requests from the officials.

The next day, someone from Guo issued an order. He summoned some generals and army guards, and then took Guo Jin on the road to Luoyang, leaving all the clamoring people in Yecheng.

Chapter 766 The five changes from Luo to Luo

Although Guo Peng left Yecheng, the tide in Yecheng did not end there, but became more and more violent.

And not only in Yecheng, but also in many counties and county towns, a wave of demonstrations demanding Guo Peng's proclaiming emperor appeared. The officials took the lead, the scholars followed closely, and the common people were also encouraged.

They chanted the slogan that if Guo Peng is not the emperor, they will never give up. They are determined to pass on their "will" to Guo Peng, and let Guo Peng know how much the people of the world "desire" him to be emperor.

From south to north, from west to east, the whole world seemed to be agitated.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by whether Guo Peng would be the emperor, and everyone was attracted by whether the new emperor would be born or whether the new dynasty would be born. Few people noticed that under this unprecedented wave, What kind of motivation is hidden.

Naturally, no one realizes that Guo can mobilize people all over the world to ask him to become the emperor today, and in the future, he can also use this mobilization power to do terrible things to them.

They thought about Conglong, about making contributions, and about bringing the world back to their golden age, but they didn't realize that Mr. Guo's butcher knife had already been sharpened and was about to be unsheathed.

Guo is unwilling to be a representative.

He is absolutely unwilling to be the representative of the interests of scholars and powerful people.

He wants to be an emperor, a real emperor, and decides for himself.

He not only wants real power, but also righteousness.

Before, he had real power, but righteousness was not enough, but now, the whole world was encouraged by him to give him righteousness.

Since this righteousness was voluntarily handed over, someone Guo naturally accepted it with a smile.

With real power in hand and righteousness in hand, the time is finally ripe.

A certain Guo left Yecheng and drove directly to Luoyang.

At the end of October, someone from Guo led the army to Luoyang.

Outside the gate of Luoyang City, a certain Guo looked at the huge word "Luoyang" and said quietly to Guo Jin: "This character "luo" is not good, we need to change it back to the word "Luo", ah Jin, when you ascend the throne for your father, you will do this."

"My son understands."

Guo Jin took his father's order.

He knew what Guo Peng came here for, and naturally he also knew what Guo Peng's intentions were.

The Kingdom of Wei was established on behalf of the Han Dynasty, and the Kingdom of Han was the virtue of fire. According to the theory of the Five Virtues, fire gave birth to earth, and the Kingdom of Wei was naturally the virtue of earth.

Earth and water complement each other, and the word "Luo" is more suitable for the name of the capital of the new dynasty.

When Guo Peng came to Luoyang, he had to be fully prepared.

Zhao Yun teamed up with Cao Hong and Cao Chun to enforce martial law in Luoyang early in the morning. Zhao Yun and Cao Hong personally led the army to meet Guo Peng ten miles away, and Cao Chun stationed in the city to ensure everything was safe.

And they have already prepared barracks and food for Guo Peng's accompanying army, for Guo Peng's tiger guards to stay and eat.

Then Xun You and Zaozhi led all the officials in the Luoyang area, as well as a large group of scholars and common people, out of the city to meet Guo Peng.

Seeing the arrival of Guo Peng's car, Xun You and Zaozhi led a group of officials to step forward and bow down in front of Guo Peng's car.

"Meet the king!"

Such a voice sounded slowly, from far to near, and it was very pleasant. Guo Peng got out of the car, met with Zaozhi, Xunyou and officials at all levels, talked with them cordially, and enjoyed their worship.

Then, Guo Peng got on his horse, rode on the horse, and was closely guarded by the army. He waved to the scholars and common people who lined the road to welcome him.

All the way to Luoyang, the welcoming crowd lined the road and never stopped. Guo Peng did not condemn Xun You and Zaozhi for this, but praised them.

Close to Luoyang City, looking at the majestic and tall city walls, Guo Peng nodded in satisfaction.

"You have lived up to Gu's expectations. Luoyang City Wall is indeed higher than before, and it is even better, very good, very good."

Guo Peng laughed loudly: "But that's not enough. Gu still needs to see how the inner city is. It's just that the outside looks good, but the inside is a mess. Don't blame Gu for punishing you."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, we dare not slack off on the things His Majesty ordered, Mr. Zao and his ministers, everything will be done personally, personally supervised, and nothing will go wrong!"

Xun You said so.

Guo Peng patted Xun You on the shoulder, and Zaozhi on the shoulder.

"Gu is at ease when you do things. You all say this, and of course Gu believes it. Hahaha, let's go in!"

Guo Peng expressed his love and trust for Xun You and Zaozhi in front of everyone, which made many officials look envious and secretly contemptuous.

Of course, this is not aimed at Zaozhi, Zaozhi is an old minister of Yuan Cong, no one dares to target him, they are targeting Xun You.

In their view, Xun You is a person who betrayed his clan talents and gained power. Such a person is really not worth emulating, but he was favored by Guo Peng and given a high position, so There are still people who envy him.

As for what Xun You thought, no one cared.

Guo Peng rode his horse all the way into Luoyang. In addition to the scholars and common people who lined the road to welcome him, he also paid attention to the degree of road repair and the degree of repair of the buildings on both sides of the road.

This is not only Luoyang, the last capital of the Han Dynasty, but also Luoyang, the initial capital of the Wei Dynasty.

Guo Peng demanded that there should be no carelessness in the construction of this city.

Key roads must be paved with stone slabs, and other roads must also be flattened and compacted with Qin Zhidao's technology, and the deepest trails must not be slack.

He said that he would let all the troops walk over every inch of Luoyang City. If any place was not up to standard, he would punish him from top to bottom.

Then Guo Peng also creatively introduced the concept of so-called public toilets.

Guo Peng demanded that at least [-] public toilets be built throughout the city of Luoyang, and that every official building and public building must have its own toilet, and the number of toilets in the Luoyang Palace should not be less than [-].

Everyone must go to the toilet in the toilet, and each toilet must be managed by someone, cleaned regularly, and kept tidy. Those who have the conditions must also build toilets in accordance with official standards, and the familiar stench must not be emitted. gas.

Guo Peng's memory since returning to the end of Han Dynasty is not only accompanied by conspiracy and blood, but also accompanied by the smell of feces and urine.

What to say.

What Guo Peng saw along the way was not only corpses everywhere, but also excrement and urine everywhere.

It's better in the big cities, but in the countryside.

Not to mention livestock, defecating anywhere is a common practice in this era, from the bureaucracy down to the common people.

Toilets are a rare item, not only on both sides of the streets in the county town, but also on the country roads and official roads outside the city.

It’s okay for rich people to ride horses and carts, but ordinary people walk with their feet, so they really don’t know when they will step on a lump of fresh rice.

Guo Peng still remembers that when he was young, he still lived in the county town of Qiao County. Every morning when people in the county town woke up, it was also the time when every family dumped their excrement and urine on the street.

At that time, the entire county was filled with an intoxicating smell.

Chapter 767 770 Six public toilets and Captain Mojin

In Guo Peng's childhood memories, the smell of feces and urine is lingering.

As long as there are people inhabited, there must be such a smell, which is quite unpleasant, and the legendary sweet air can only be found in no-man's land.

So in a sense, Guo Peng even wants to thank this era of incomplete development and this era of no-man's land.

Otherwise, it really feels like shit all the time.

When eating, there is not only the smell of food, but also the smell of excrement and urine. It is really hard to swallow without incense. How does it feel...

Even if he went to Luoyang back then, there was still such a smell in Luoyang City. Guo Peng himself paid great attention to hygiene, but not everyone like Guo Peng built a toilet to solve the cycle of grains.

So why did ancient scholars like incense?

It is the same reason as the Europeans invented perfume.

Nothing else, just to avoid the feeling of pooping all the time and fooling my own nose.

After Guo Peng became a big boss, every time he went to a place, he always asked his resident to build enough public toilets, and asked the resident to publicize the necessity of public toilets to the local people and officials in the head of Guizhou, and semi-mandatoryly required them to go to the public toilet. Solve the poop problem.

Then gradually expand the scope of construction of public toilets.

By the way, after some research, Guo Peng found that although no one has a systematic understanding of fertilizers in this era, out of simple ideas, a small number of farmers have discovered the benefits of human excrement on the land.

So some people have spontaneously used human excrement to fertilize crops such as melons and fruits, but very few fertilize grains.

After Guo Peng realized this problem, he sent someone to study the problem of manure, which he called using the reincarnation of the five grains to feed back the five grains.

Guo Peng ordered people to collect human excrement, pig manure and cow manure, mix them together, mix them with fallen leaves, dead branches, weeds, silt, etc., and build a "fat room" for fermentation. It took two to three months, and then came up with a available manure.

In the subsequent promotion stage, he ordered the government to introduce manure to farmers for free. During this period, farmers were still dissatisfied with Guo Peng's mandatory construction test and requiring them to go to public toilets to use the toilet, and they were dubious about the use of manure.

However, when the farmers discovered that the yield of fertilized land was higher than that of unfertilized land, they immediately changed their attitudes and were willing to use manure to fertilize the land to increase production.

At this stage, Guo Peng ordered the government to charge a symbolic fee for making manure, and then provide the manure to farmers outside the city, which is almost equivalent to providing fertilizer to farms around the city for free to increase food production.

For this reason, Guo Peng also specially set up the position of "Mojin Duwei" in some counties with enough public toilets. Under his jurisdiction is a group of professionals named Mojin Brigade, who roam around the county and specialize in managing the collection of public toilets. The excrement and urine in the body and is responsible for converting it into manure.

Of course, this is for the sake of being nice, to sound more elegant, otherwise, would it be called a "shit officer"?
