Chapter 77: Chess meets opponents

(Thanks to the Empire for its endless melancholy, to continue our years, zcr_gm's reward, I caught a cold, I got a little less update, apologize)

******************

After hearing Yuan Shang's words, Guo Jia's expression seemed very distracted.

Bluffing and talking nonsense, how can the plague be caused by floods and disaster victims? It's ridiculous!

As if you saw the disdain in Guo Jia's eyes, Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said, "I think you don't believe me... You should also look like you in the county government office. I think you should know the inside story. Then I'll ask you, on the nearest moat, there are some diseases on the head or belly of the victim?"

Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this, but Yuan Shang's words were quite mid-level. Since he arrived in Licheng, he occasionally heard that most of the victims outside the city had dysentery and headaches. However, because it was not a serious illness, the officials in Licheng rarely took them in their hearts.

Seeing that Guo Jia's expression changed, Yuan Shang knew that he was almost completely guessing and continued: "It seems that what I guess is right. I think there should be many refugees outside the city who have dysentery and headache disease. The reason is that, first, it is because the weather becomes cold and prone to diseases. Second, the physical condition of the affected people becomes weak. As long as there are few external evils entering the body, they are prone to illness. Third, the method of resettlement of the victims is improper. The victims are stationed in one place, and the diseases are transmitted from small to large. Over time, it is not impossible to cause plague."

Guo Jia is a top strategic military advisor, but he has little understanding of people's livelihood, but he does not understand at all. Moreover, when he was young, he encountered the Yellow Turban Rebellion. At that time, corpses were everywhere, bones were piled up, and refugees were rampant. Unconsciously, he had no idea why many victims suffered from wars and famines and had a stubborn disease, and the wider they were growing, and gradually the plague was in full swing.

After thinking for a long time, Guo Jia finally said, "Since ancient times, there must be a source of disease in plague. Since you say you can tell me one, two or three points, then I ask you, what is the channel of disease in Licheng? Do you know?"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said in a mysterious way: "If I don't know, how dare I ramble here?"

"Oh?" Guo Jia was excited and said, "You can say it."

Facing Guo Jia's inquiring gaze, Yuan Shang sighed a long time ago, then stretched out his left hand, spread his palm, and slapped it slightly at Guo Jia, and gestured twice.

"What does it mean?" Guo Jia blinked inexplicably.

"Such a confidential question, let me say it in vain? How shameful is it! You don't want to be impressed?" Yuan Shang said red and had white teeth, and had a bright smile on his face.

Guo Jia immediately took a deep breath when he heard this, stared at Yuan Shang in surprise, and said in disbelief: "You... ask me... for money?"

Yuan Shang pursed his lips and said, "This is a bad thing. What does it mean to ask for money? This is the gift of polite and noble people, and it should be divided."

He glared at Yuan Shang for a long time, but saw Guo Jia finally "scroll" and couldn't help but laugh, "Interesting, interesting, Guo hasn't met a ronin like you for many days, so how much do you want?"

Yuan Shang thought about it carefully after hearing this, then turned to the restaurant and shouted: "Shopkeeper, check out!"

"Come on!"

The wine girl in the wine shop trotted like a flying girl, with a sweet smile on her face and said to Yuan Shang and Guo Jia: "A steamed vegetarian food and a pot of good wine, all of them are the same. Are the two gentlemen satisfied?"

Yuan Shang nodded, then turned to look at Guo Jia, and smiled and said, "The price for gifts is always the same. You are glamorous and beautiful. You won't be so deducted. You can't even get some small money for a meal, right?"

This person is so interesting...

Guo Jia smiled and shook his head, then took money from his sleeve, and pointed it out and threw it on the table for the wine to take it away.

Yuan Shang's lips curled up and bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness for the meal. I will repay you later."

"Hehe, it's natural to treat me to a meal, but the source of plague you just mentioned needs to be precise! If it's correct, someone should treat me to this meal. If it's not correct, haha, the consequences are not what you can imagine."

Yuan Shang slowly straightened his waist, pinched his fingers and pretended to be in a vague and profound look, and said, "I will naturally understand the rules on the Tao, but I haven't asked you yet, what should I call you?"

Guo Jia was also half-interested at this moment and said, "It's easy to say, a certain surname is Guo, and he ranks fourth in his home. Just call me Guo Si."

Yuan Shang picked up the wine cup and took a sip, saying, "Sir, it's true that people are as good as their name. Such an elegant name is rare. The next surname is Yuan, and the third one is ranked at home. Just call me Yuan San."

"Yuan San and Guo Si..." Guo Jia touched his white chin and thought carefully for a while and said, "From the name alone, you and me are still quite destined to be together... Haha, for nothing, let's talk about it, if there is a plague in this city of Li, where is the source?"

Yuan Shang cleared his throat and said, "Xiao Si..."

Guo Jia: "......"

"Do you know the moat outside Licheng?"

Guo Jia nodded: "Of course I know, is it possible that the source of the disease is still related to the moat?"

"That's natural, otherwise what I said it is? Sier, when I just entered the city, I found that the moat outside Licheng had not been dredged for a long time. The head of the living water at the gate of the city was blocked, and the filthy things inside were piled up, and even if you didn't have to go to and from the city, it was almost grounded. There were no houses in the city, and all the victims were living on the side of the moat. They drowned in the river every day, and the canal had become a stinky ditch. Over time, the filthy things did not disperse and accumulated over time. The moat could easily become a source of disease and cause plague."

Guo Jia narrowed his eyes and said, "The moat is the source of the disease..."

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "Yes, human diseases and plagues are all caused by dirt and mess. It is not enough to just help the victims. The moat needs to be filled quickly to avoid a real plague. It will be too late to regret it!"

Guo Jia is a smart person. After carefully thinking about Yuan Shang's words, he then contacted his past experiences and the current situation in Licheng, and his heart suddenly became clear.

What this son said was very important. He had seen the moat several times, but it was dirty and dirty, and it was hard to bear.

Thinking of this, Guo Jiafang wanted to say a few words of praise. When he suddenly saw Yuan Shang's smiling face, he woke up and swallowed the words back.

"Well... You guy's luck is on the vital point. Well, the sin of gossiping will be exposed." Guo Jia said ambiguously, but there is no lack of praise.

Since Yuan Shang arrived in Licheng, he saw that the moat was dirty and the surrounding victims were all weak. He knew that if they were not dealt with in time, it would easily cause the disaster to expand. He felt unbearable. However, Licheng was not under his jurisdiction. Now he happened to meet such a person who looked like an official in the city. He then used his son to reveal his ideas to him, which could be regarded as saving the lives of the people around the surrounding area, accumulating some good deeds, and being able to eat with his food. It was also considered luck and will.

Guo Jia sat down for a while with concern, but after all, he couldn't help but want to go back and arrange the matter of treasury. After a few polite words, he immediately stood up and said, "My thing is urgent, I won't bother you here today, so I'll say goodbye."

Yuan Shang also stood up and bowed: "Xiao Sier walked slowly, I'll take it away."

Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this, and then showed a bright smile that had not been there for more than a few days, saying, "Miss, you don't need to be polite, I hope you and I will meet again in the future."

Yuan Shang's face froze... Missionary? Why does this title sound so awkward?

After shook his head and threw out the miscellaneous things in his mind, Yuan Shang nodded and said, "If the mountains do not turn, the water will turn. Whether you see them or not depends on your future fate."

Guo Jia thought about his lack of background, then turned around and left, but felt a little emotional in his heart. For some reason, Guo Jia had a little more love for this young man in a black shirt, handsome appearance and dispersed behavior, and always felt that there might be a day to meet again in the future.

Yuan San...Yuan San... can be made up such a name. It's such an interesting character.

After Guo Jia left, Yuan Shang also looked at his back and was silent for a long time, and his heart was slightly touched.

Guo Si, a miserable name, although it is fake, it is just as its name...

But for some reason, looking at this person made me feel indescribable, as if I like, as if I am speculating, as if I am familiar with each other, as if I pay attention to it...

It was obvious that I had never met before, and the conversation just now was very short, but this person gave Yuan Shang a different feeling from the inside out, which was hard to explain, but it was a deep mark.

Who is this miserable young man?

Just as he was thinking, he saw the little wine lady in the wine shop walking to Yuan Shang again with a smile. Qianqian stretched out her bare hands and said with a smile: "Sir, I've eaten for a total of five stans. I wonder if Mr. is still satisfied?"

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "No, the wine and rice are delicious, the service is thoughtful, and they are all very satisfied. There are two aspects that need to be strengthened. First, a pot of wine and a cauldron of dishes are not worth five cents of money, right? Is it a scam? Second, little wine girl, go back and have a look. The wine and rice table has been paid just now."

The little wine girl smiled unchanged and said with a sweet smile: "Mr. I reminded me that the little girl naturally remembered that she had paid for the meal. However, when the gentleman in white who was sitting with you just left, he picked up a pheasant and asked him to count the chicken money in the teacher's account."

Yuan Shang's face suddenly stiffened: "Chicken?"

The little wine nodded heavily: "Chicken!"

After a long silence, when Yuan Shang slapped the table in annoyance, he choked with sobbing and said: "Every year after year, I let the geese peck at the eyes today! I was careless! I was careless..."
