Chapter 9 Guo Jia Comes to Surrender
Cao Cao took the dictionary, opened it and looked at it, but his eyes widened instantly.

"Using characters as examples and marking their meanings can almost eliminate all disputes about characters. Matching the corresponding characters with common spoken language can also reduce the difficulty of reading!"

He was completely shocked.

"With simplified Chinese characters that are very easy to learn after being simplified, perhaps the day will really come when everyone becomes intelligent and as powerful as a dragon?" Cao Cao.

If everyone is like a dragon, the world will be united.

Is it possible to create the perfect world described by the saint in one's own hands?

"Fuck, thank you for the reward, lord!"

For the first time, Cao Cao used the word "Lord", which not only showed his attitude of following Ji Hao, but also showed what he really wanted.

Ji Hao was very satisfied with this.

But he still shook his head and said, "If everyone can read, we can say that everyone is as good as a dragon, but we cannot say that the people's wisdom is completely awakened. The task of building a harmonious world is arduous and long, and it still needs you and me to guide it well before it can be accomplished!"

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this.

Respectfully said: "Yes."

"In addition, we also need to publish newspapers. After teaching people to read, every time something important happens, we need to send newspapers to the people so that they can know what happened!" Ji Hao added, "It's not the current imperial edict. I can't understand that stuff. What are you letting the people read?"

After hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes lit up again.

"You mean, using 'newspapers' to control public opinion?"

If dictionaries only enlighten people and are beneficial to the nation, then this newspaper is a real use of ideological weapons to win the hearts of the people.

"We can't say we control them. We have to let them have contact. Otherwise, how can they work together with us?"

At this point, Ji Hao thought for a moment and said, "Finally, what's left is infrastructure construction! The cement has been successfully fired. This is deep in the mountains, and there are no people around. Expand the barracks as much as possible. As for the city walls, make them as high as possible. It would be best if a million troops could not attack them. We have the Yellow River behind us, and we have water and food. If the city is strong enough, we will be invincible!"

In this era, poison cannot be thrown into the Yellow River, and it is impossible to intercept it.

Another cliff.

Building a strong city with the Yellow River at your back is simply too cool!
"Well, is everything really okay?" Cao Cao said, wiping his cold sweat.

"It's okay!" Ji Hao said, "If someone finds out, just keep paying. Our Emperor Jiaqian is easy to talk to. As long as he's alive, I'll do my best to deal with it!"

Someone may ask here, is it really possible to prepare for a rebellion so blatantly?
This would not have worked in other dynasties, even during other periods of the Han Dynasty.

But now you can.

Because the imperial court had just ordered all localities to recruit local militia to resist the Yellow Turban Army, it was almost in a state of opening up military power. In this case, who would be in charge of a formal military camp with a number?
"General, there is someone outside asking to see you!"

Suddenly, a subordinate came to Ji Hao and started to report.

"Who?" Ji Hao asked.

"He claims to be from Yingchuan, his surname is Guo, his name is Jia, and his courtesy name is Fengxiao. He said he came to seek refuge with the general and can help you solve your urgent problem!"

As soon as these words came out, Ji Hao immediately showed a surprised expression.

Guo Jia!
As long as Guo Jia is alive, Zhuge Liang will not come out - although this does not mean that he can defeat Zhuge Liang, but before Zhuge Liang comes out, Guo Jia is definitely the top person in the world.

He and Zhuge Liang, like Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, were separated by time.

No one knows who is better unless they actually compare.

And such a person actually came to me on his own initiative and wanted to help me solve my urgent problems?
"Hurry up and ask him to come over. No, I will go to greet him myself!"

With excitement, Ji Hao trotted all the way and came in front of Guo Jia: The first time he saw this "genius", he was really as if he had seen a ghost.

He was thin and pale. He must have just drunk some wine, and he was in a daze. He might have been mentally exhausted from overindulgence and had trouble sleeping. He also had two dark circles under his eyes, and looked like a man with empty eyes.

Ji Hao almost thought he had walked into the wrong set.

"Please bring four strong ladies over to help carry it to my study!" Ji Hao said with a malicious look in his eyes.

……

"Why did you come to me?"

In the study, Ji Hao sat opposite Guo Jia and asked.

Hearing this, Guo Jia smiled and said, "General, your skill in 'The Emperor's Legacy' is truly extraordinary. In just half a month, I'm afraid you have already amassed a hundred thousand gold coins, right?"

After saying that, he took a sip of wine.

He added: "The bulk of the money should have gone into your majesty's pocket, but the general should still have at least 30,000 gold in his hand, which can be used to recruit soldiers and build a strong army, without any problem!"

There was admiration on his face as he spoke.

"I have never seen such a brilliant plan!"

Ji Hao blushed a little about this, as this was a common practice in his previous life.

But he was always thick-skinned, and shook his head and said, "This is just a small thing. I have another plan for the 'cornucopia', but it's useless!"

"What is the 'cornucopia' plot?"

"Using the previous business as bait and the reason of expanding production, they lure others to invest, and return the initial investment several times. When the money is invested to the highest point, they will cut off the funds and run away with the money - what do you think of this plan, Feng Xiao?"

After hearing this, Guo Jia sobered up instantly.

"It's summer, why is it suddenly so cold?"

"Of course, now is not the time to do that. It's not necessary." Ji Hao added: "What we need to do is to build high walls, store up food, and weigh slowly. Ahem, in short, Datong has not yet been achieved, comrades, we still need to work hard!"

The atmosphere was right, and the boss had put on a show of power and convinced his subordinates.

The next step is to use it.

Ji Hao immediately asked: "When Feng Xiao came, he said he could solve my urgent problem. Do you know what my urgent problem is?"

Hearing this, Guo Jia immediately said, "Soldiers!"

He used only one word to get to the point.

"What do you suggest?"

"General, you have money, but you lack reputation. You can only gain reputation by going to fight against the Yellow Turbans." Guo Jia said, "When you fight against the Yellow Turbans, you can also recruit soldiers. First, recruit the elite soldiers who were defeated and captured in the Yellow Turban Army, and then recruit the local braves from various states and counties who came to support you when you fight against the Yellow Turbans!"

These words made Ji Hao's eyes light up.

The Yellow Turban Army was not weak. Many of the princes who later fought for supremacy in the world started out by recruiting the Yellow Turban Army.

As for the local militiamen who dared to join the army to fight against the Yellow Turbans, which one of them is weak?

The people who recruited them may not have the money to keep them, and most of them cannot foresee the chaos of future warlord separatism, so they will be dismissed after the crusade is successful.

At this time, if you spend money to recruit, it will definitely not be difficult.

"Recruit the best and take the opportunity to purchase weapons. After this trip, you will have both fame and troops. General, you will become a powerful general in the court!"
