Han Dao world

Chapter 1205
An open and honest speech instantly narrowed the distance between Liu Xie and Changsha.The officials present became enthusiastic and asked questions to the emperor one after another.The questions were varied, including about the sages in front of me, and the people's livelihood policies they cared about, all-encompassing.

Liu Xie answered one by one patiently, without concealing it.

Good is good, bad is bad.

He said before that someone proposed Jiangling as the capital, and he also talked about why Jiangling should not be the capital. Now he also talked about his understanding of Changsha and some changes in his views after coming to Changsha, not because it might damage his image as a sage. And avoid it.

He knows one thing very well, sincerity with flaws is always more friendly than false wisdom.

People can not escape from doing wrong?A perfect saint can only be engraved on steles and worshiped in temples, but he will not live in the real world.

Changsha people are simple, but not stupid, and there are many wise men like Huan Jie among them.Talking empty words and big words in front of them will only end up with the same treatment as Liu Biao.On the contrary, he is not as good as Sun Jian, who admits his shortcomings openly.

Only sincerity can move people.

This is true in Changsha, and even more so in other counties in the south of the Yangtze River.Compared with the counties in the Central Plains, the economic development level of these counties is far from sufficient, and their culture and education are relatively backward.Dealing with them requires real benefits, not lip service.

Facts proved Liu Xie's idea, and the representatives of the Changsha gentry who came to welcome him were very satisfied with his attitude.

Those who are dissatisfied are not from Changsha, such as Zhang Ji, Huang Zu, and Han Xuan.

Zhang Ji has a dark history, and he has just been sued by the people of Changsha, so he is naturally in a bad mood.

Huang Zu has no dark history, but Sun Jian's portrait is right in front of him.No matter where he stands, he always feels that there are two pairs of eyes looking at him, like awns on his back.

These eyes looked like Sun Jian's, but they weren't quite there, which made him feel a chill on his neck.

Han Xuan was very disappointed.

He was originally the prefect of Changsha, and he had the highest official position among the people who came to welcome him, but Huan Jie took away the light that belonged to him as soon as he opened his mouth.The people of Changsha didn't take him seriously, and the emperor didn't take him seriously, as if he, the prefect of Changsha, was just a display.

It seems that the emperor is very dissatisfied with his performance. If he doesn't think of a way, his official career may come to an end.

-

Huan Jie worshiped as a servant and became a close minister of the emperor. He quickly handed over relevant government affairs and changed into the costume of a servant.

For him, this is his second visit to the dynasty.

Before that, he had been promoted as Xiaolian by Sun Jian and worshiped as Shang Shulang.Sun Jian died in Xiangyang. After hearing the news, he rushed to Xiangyang, asked Liu Biao for Sun Jian's body, and sent it back to Jiangdong. He never returned to the court and stayed there.

Because of this incident, Huan Jie became famous and became a well-known righteous man.

Liu Biao also heard of his reputation, and once wanted to make him an official, but he refused.

Speaking of the past, Liu Xie was also a little strange, so he asked Huan Jie during the chat after the banquet, did you have the foresight to know that Liu Biao could not succeed, or did you not want to be with Liu Biao because Sun Jian died at the hands of Liu Biao?

Huan Jie is also frank, and both.

He further explained to Liu Xie that the reason why Liu Biao was able to ride into Jingzhou alone was not only his personal reputation, but also the help of Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others.Both Kuai Yue and Cai Mao were from Nanjun, specifically, from counties near Xiangyang.They have always been prejudiced against Jiangnan, and after gaining power, they only cared about their own interests and never considered other people, let alone the four counties in Jiangnan.

Although Liu Xian and others were dismissed by Liu Biao because of their reputation, they did not gain Liu Biao's trust.

Huan Jie knew about Liu Biao's affairs as early as when he was Shang Shulang in the imperial court. He knew that this man had achieved nothing and would lose in the future. Coupled with Sun Jian's death, he naturally didn't want to ruin his reputation for his ease in the past few years.

Liu Xie heard the overtones and came to a sudden. "You didn't want to enter the court before, it was because of Liu Xian, right?"

Huan Jie made no secret of it. "That's right. If it wasn't for seeing Liu Xian's nephew Zhou Buyi accompanying His Majesty, even if His Majesty grants grace today, I would not dare to obey the imperial edict."

Liu Xie looked back at Zhou Buyi who was standing aside, and couldn't help smiling.

The meeting between him and Liu Xian was indeed not smooth, and Liu Xian also suffered a lot of grievances.

Fortunately, the result is satisfactory. Liu Xian is currently the chief secretary of the North of Situ Mansion, in charge of the affairs of the three prefectures of Hebei and You.Zhou Buyi is by his side as a young boy, always benefiting from natural sciences including arithmetic, he is considered a leader among the younger generation, and it will be a matter of time before he gets ahead.

"There is a legacy of Chu Kuang under one step."

Huan Jie laughed. "I'm luckier than Jie Yu, and luckier than Qu Zi and Jia Sheng. When I reach middle age, I can serve His Majesty again and go to the king's way together."

"This is fate." Liu Xie sighed. "The heaven and the earth are all in the same force, and the heroes are not free. People should help themselves, and then the sky will help them. If I don't work hard, there will be a day when I will reunite with my step."

Huan Jie looked slightly embarrassed.

Liu Xie changed the topic. "I am so, so is the big man, so is Changsha. Mr. Huan, tell me your opinion."

Huan Jie was slightly startled, and then he understood what Liu Xie meant, and felt ashamed.Just now he thought that Liu Xie was mocking him for not being loyal when the court was in trouble, but now he realized that Liu Xie was lamenting that people should help themselves and not wait for gifts.

If you think about it, it does.

The imperial court intends to develop Jiangnan, and has been working hard in the past few years, but in the final analysis, the imperial court can provide limited help to Jiangnan. Instead, it needs Jiangnan to provide money and food to supply the army's conquest.

If Jiangnan wants to develop, it must ultimately rely on itself.

Huan Jie thought about it carefully. "Your Majesty, this is a century-old plan. I dare not be presumptuous. Please allow your Majesty to think about it for a few days before reporting."

"It should be so." Liu Xie readily agreed, and said to Zhou Buyi, "You will find out the relevant documents of the Situ Mansion on the establishment of the capital in Jiangling for the reference of Lord Huan."

Zhou Buyi bowed to accept the order, and went to pick up the documents.

Liu Xie said again: "Although the idea of ​​establishing the capital in Jiangling is temporarily unfeasible, Jiangling's advantages are still established. If we can make full use of these advantages, the development of Jiangnan will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Huan Jie agreed, and then said: "Your Majesty, I do have a superficial idea."

"Say."

"There is a lot of water in the south of the Yangtze River, and ships are the most important means of transportation. Transporting troops, food, people and goods all depend on their strength. Although Yuzhang has ship officers, they mainly supervise the construction of warships, and have no time to take care of civilian ships. Dongting has a vast area. It is enough to test the ship, and it may be helpful if we can build a ship officer in Changsha and specialize in the manufacture of new ships for civilian use."

Liu Xie's heart skipped a beat.

After several years of hard work and a large amount of capital investment, the technical level of the Yuzhang ship officers has been significantly improved, and even the prototype of the propeller-car and boat has been created.However, these technologies are currently only used to build warships to prepare for Sun Ce's expedition to sea, and the economic benefits produced are limited.

If the military can be transformed into civilians and these technologies are extended to the fields of people's livelihood, benefits can be generated quickly, which in turn will feed back the research of shipbuilding technology.

Huan Jie's proposal was timely.

However, the timing is so coincidental, it doesn't seem like a sudden inspiration, but a premeditated plan.

There are people from Changsha among the Yuzhang ship officers. Huan Jie and the others should have learned some news, knowing that the upgrade of shipbuilding technology is just around the corner, and want to take this opportunity to get a share first.

The interests are limited, the rain and dew cannot be shared equally, and it is inconvenient to discuss openly in the public, so Huan Jie can only ask for an order in front of the imperial court.
