There are more women in the inner palace and more conflicts. From time to time, unhappiness between several women will occur.

Guo Jin was busy with government affairs, and Guo Chengzhi was also busy with his business. When the previous dynasty was complicated, they were in a hurry and had no skills.

At this time, as the supreme ruler of the Guo royal family, Guo Peng helped his son and grandson take on the responsibility of managing the family.

If you can mediate, mediate; if you can handle it gently, handle it gently. When a concubine is pregnant, he personally instructs a group of people around him to serve him specifically to protect the pregnant concubines.

He used his remaining energy to add a trace of normal family's fireworks and absent countless conflicts.

Guo Peng's actions indeed made Guo Jin and Guo Chengzhi breathe a sigh of relief, allowing them to devote themselves to government affairs and avoid worries.

Guo Peng is no longer involved in power, but his influence is still everywhere.

As long as he is still alive, from the entire Wei Kingdom to the Luoyang Palace, he will be as stable as Mount Tai, and no one dares to have strange thoughts.

By the way, Guo Peng also likes cooking.

Sometimes he would go to the imperial kitchen to watch the chefs cook, talk and laugh with them, and talk about the fact that he personally spread big cakes and cooked big bone soup in the military camp.

After staring at me for a while, I set up a small kitchen in Taishan Hall, which was quite decent. I paid for my personal eunuch to go to the Luoyang Market to purchase ingredients. I made a fire in the kitchen if I had anything to do.

At the beginning, what I was trying out was dark dishes that could compete with the starry sky. Those who heard it were sad and saw it were crying and couldn't bear to say it.

It has improved in the future. The things made are becoming more and more decent and the taste is getting better and better. The specialty of the fried sea cucumber in the green onion has become Cao Lan’s favorite dish.

Guo Jin or Guo Chengzhi sometimes gets busy and doesn’t care about eating, so Cai Wan and Zhuge will come to complain to Guo Peng.

So Guo Peng made a bowl of convenient rice bowls by himself, and asked the eunuch to send them to him and stared at them.

Guo Peng made it himself, and they dared not not to eat it. No matter what they were doing, they could only put down their work and eat honestly.

When Cao Lan or several other women celebrated their birthdays, Guo Peng didn't want the imperial chef to do it. He did it himself, and made a table of food to accompany them to celebrate their birthdays. He bought whatever he wanted.

Sometimes when Guo Peng is free, when he leans on the recliner to bask in the sun, he will also think that if his former old opponents and friends see his current appearance, their values ​​will explode.

The fierce man who once turned his hand to make clouds and rain, the man who once fought invincible all over the world, and the man who had killed corpses and blood, can't see a trace of murderous aura on his body.

The general who once had a look could make the commander of 100,000 soldiers frightened and sweated profusely, but now he can chat and laugh with the chefs in the kitchen, and his eyes are gone from the sharpness of the past.

Once he could make countless people's heads fall to the ground with his fingers, but now he holds the kitchen knife with his murderous hand and slaps on the chopping board.

Old rivals and old friends, how would you think of him now?

Guo Peng felt that this problem can only be known after he died and after meeting his old rivals and friends in that world.

Speaking of which, perhaps because of the inexplicable nostalgia, Guo Peng felt a little touched when Liu Zhang died of illness at the beginning of the 12th year of Xingyuan.

So he secretly asked someone to erect a monument on Shouyang Mountain in the northeast of the city. He personally wrote the [Monument of the Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty] and let the craftsmen carve it on it.

Then on the back of the monument, he personally wrote down the names, characters, birth and death years and hometowns of the heroes in the late Han Dynasty that he deserved to record.

He wrote Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Sun Jian, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Tao Qian, Gongsun Zan, Lu Bu, Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Sun Ce.

After thinking about it, he asked someone to erect a small monument, writing six big words "Dong Zhuo, the thief of the country".

Later, he pondered for a long time and decided to erect a monument for Xun Yu and Zang Hong, writing their names, their names, birth and death years, and their hometowns.

So the final pattern was a monument of heroes in the late Han Dynasty, and next to it was a small monument of Dong Zhuo, a thief who was stealing the country.

Behind these two monuments are the monuments of Xun Yu and Zang Hong.

Dong Zhuo's existence significance was to completely open up the era of heroes competing for hegemony in the late Han Dynasty, tearing off the majesty disguise of the Han Dynasty, breaking the statue of the god, and making everyone realize that the supreme position could be fought for.

Then he died.

The meaning of the existence of heroes at the end of the Han Dynasty was to completely disrupt the order of the world, inherit Dong Zhuo's unfinished career, make the world disordered, completely enter the troubled times, and make it impossible to reorganize the world with simply using political means.

Military must be used as coercive force.

Then they all died.

Liu Cong and Liu Qi both died in the eighth year of Xingyuan. In the 12th year of Xingyuan, Liu Zhang, the last warlord in troubled times, died of illness.

The complete end of an era made Guo Peng think of what to leave for this era, which was his own thoughts and a commemoration.

As for the monuments of Xun Yu and Zang Hong, they commemorated them as the last guardians of the Han Dynasty, and they sacrificed their lives to prevent Guo Peng from usurping the throne, and finally failed.

Their last effort failed. They were defeated in the face of Guo Peng's absolute strength, and the royalist party was completely buried. From then on, it was only a matter of time before Guo Peng replaced Liu Jian and became emperor.

And as the last guardians, they are spiritually ending this troubled world.

Of course, there was also a little guilt in Guo Peng's heart.

Every year since then, Guo Peng would climb Shouyang Mountain on the day when the flowers were blooming, bring some wine and offerings, go up and sit for half a day, and then come down.

His life began to become simple, but it was not meaningless.

The Little Ice Age officially arrived, spring came late and winter came early and zero isotherms began to slowly move southward, and the world average temperature began to gradually drop.

Every time the average temperature drops by one degree, it may drop by five degrees and six degrees in different areas on the ground, which has a very big impact.

The snowfall in the Mozhou grasslands year by year. Although the imperial court had prepared for a long time, many cattle, sheep and horses would inevitably freeze to death.

The grain yield per mu in the Western Regions, Liangzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou and Pingzhou has been declining over the years.

By the fifteenth year of Xingyuan, the grain yield per mu in these states had decreased by about 5% to 10%, and grain yield reductions were quite obvious.

In Hebei and even the entire Guanzhong, the grain output in the Central Plains region cannot generally maintain the previous high growth rate. In some years, grain output has even decreased due to the cold.

A widespread crisis of food production cuts broke out in full swing, but the people of the Wei Empire did not feel how much changes their lives had occurred or how many crises had occurred.

On the books, the crisis of grain production cuts has indeed broken out, but from a realistic perspective, people do not feel that their quality of life has declined.

The fundamental reason is that Guo Peng made a series of early responses to this disaster.

The Grand Canal, developed Jiangnan, Lingnan, large-scale immigration to Jiangnan, Lingnan, etc., continuously ensured the storage of grain in various parts of Jiangbei, developed and built Jiangnan and Lingnan, and also transferred the wealthy population to Jiangnan and Lingnan areas on a large scale.

From the book, in the sixth year of Yande, the population of Jiangnan accounted for about 15% of the total population of the Wei Empire. By the fifteenth year of Xingyuan, the total population of Jiangnan accounted for about 35% of the total population of the Wei Empire.

There are fewer people eating food in Jiangbei.

The number of people producing grain in Jiangnan has increased.

At this moment, the total population of the Wei Empire had exceeded 90 million.

During the 15th year of Xingyuan, the total population of the Wei Empire was 92 million, and the population growth was very obvious.

Under such a background, through the Grand Canal, sea transportation and other means, the Wei Empire continued to transfer the surplus grain from Jiangnan and Lingnan to Hebei and even Liaodong, stabilized local grain prices, ensured that the people's grain demand was stable, and continued to promote the policy of population migration south.

Transfer more people to Shuzhong and Honghe Plain, and increase efforts to develop these areas with fertile soil, warm and humid climates, and are very suitable for agricultural development.

Soon, the grain in Lingnan also became the main source of foreign food in Liaodong. Both regions, relying on sea transportation and grain, closely linked their respective destinies.

The Little Binghe River is indeed coming, but the Wei Empire did not encounter the expected terrifying crisis and large-scale famine, and even the population is still rising against the trend.

When the court discussed this matter, it all attributed the credit to the Grand Canal built by the Emperor and the policy of Lingnan. It was precisely because of years of preparation in advance that the crisis was successfully responded in an orderly manner when the crisis came.

The Western Regions are still in their hands, Mozhou is still in their hands, and the desert covered with heavy snow, on the grassland, there are imperial cavalry, and merchants are moving forward with difficulty.

Due to the long-term advancement of the pieting cave sweeping strategy, there was no crisis in the desert and grassland under heavy snow, and no unexpected tribes took advantage of the situation to rise and seize the living space or invade the south.

To put it this way, the people of the Wei Empire did not hear about the invasion of the northern and southern empires for many years.

The relevant records can only be seen in history classes. During the pre-Han period, the northern grassland tribes always went south to knock on the border, causing huge damage to the people in the border areas.

On the other hand, today, there are no nomadic cavalry on the Mozhou prairie, which Guo Peng had controlled at a huge cost.

Guo Pengxing repaired water conservancy and cleared river channels, eliminating many hidden dangers of floods and droughts.

Going deep into the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River to eliminate locusts, greatly reducing the frequency of locust plagues and the number of locusts. Some prefectures and counties on the front lines of the Yellow River have not seen locusts for several years, even though the rain was not abundant back then.

Guo Peng called on people to have a large-scale health and hygienic life to make the concept of isolation deeply rooted in people's hearts, so local prefectures and counties have not reported cases of infectious disease outbreaks for several years.

All of these benefits accumulated by the changes brought to the Wei Empire by Guo Peng's thirteen years in power have benefited the people of the Guo Jin era.

This undoubtedly made Guo Peng, who had not been involved in political affairs for a long time, gained wave after wave of reputation.

With waves of reputation accumulated, the Supreme Emperor Guo Peng became more and more like a god, not a human.

He expected all the crises, and all the crises were passed without any danger under his preparatory preparations. The situation in the Wei Empire was as stable as Mount Tai.

He is not a God, so what?

But he is really just a person, not God, and he doesn't want to be God.

Despite this, if Wei State needs him to be a god, he will be that god.
