Chapter 1209 Promising Youth
Liu Xie soon received a reply from Huan Jie.

The big local households in Linxiang were willing to invest in the construction of the ship officer with the imperial court, but they wanted to invest more, and they didn’t have enough cash on hand, so they wanted to attract more people to participate in the stock, and it would take some time to contact the surrounding counties.

As for the amount of shares, Huan Jie gave a rough figure, one hundred thousand gold.

This is the largest of Liu Xie's several proposals.

If the local people in Changsha can raise [-] gold as shares, plus the technology and funds that Situ Mansion can provide, plus Liu Xie’s contribution as Queen Fushou, a total of about [-] gold can be raised to build a ship with Yuzhang A large ship officer of the same size as an official, including a shipping school with a size of [-] people.

After hearing this, Liu Xie laughed. "Bo Xu raised his arms and called out, and there were crowds of people who made the sound."

He is very clear that in terms of the size of the funds alone, nearly half of Changsha's non-government funds are invested, obviously to occupy a considerable say.If Huan Jie hadn't come forward to gain the trust of Changsha people, they would not have taken such a big risk.

Huan Jie was a little uneasy.

Listening to what the emperor said, why does it sound a bit like a high-caliber earthquake master?
Liu Xie glanced at him and smiled even brighter. "Bo Xu don't need to be nervous. You have such influence, it shows that I have used the right person. The development of Jiangnan is of far-reaching significance, and the difficulties are not small. We need talented people like you to serve the court. After all, the world is safe and uneasy , still in people's hearts."

Huan Jie bowed himself to be taught.

Although his understanding may not be exactly the same as what the emperor said—it is impossible for the emperor to say everything so bluntly, there will always be some hidden meaning—but he believes that the emperor's attitude is sincere.

At least for now, the counties in the south of the Yangtze River have not threatened the strength of the court. People like him still need the support of the court to compete with the powerful families in the Central Plains and gain a foothold in the court.

Prior to this, aristocratic families from the Central Plains occupied the court, and if scholars outside the Central Plains did not get their appreciation, their official careers were often very difficult.

His grandfather, Huan Chao, and father, Huan Sheng, were both talented men, but their official careers had not been smooth, and they were always hovering below the thousand stones, unable to cross the critical threshold of two thousand stones.

In contrast, Xie from Cangwu entered the circle of scholars in the Central Plains because he studied under Liu Tao from Yingchuan, and became the prefect of Jiaozhi at a young age.Cangwu Shi's family has become a local big family, and the brothers are tied to the prefectures and counties.

Of course, there was a price for doing so. Shi Xie became Liu Tao's disciple and a vassal of the Ruying people from then on.

He hated this kind of atmosphere, refused to take this path, and rejected Liu Biao's dismissal, but he couldn't find a better choice.

Now that the Son of Heaven came to him, he naturally wanted to seize this opportunity tightly, even if there was a considerable risk.

Companion to a king is like companion to a tiger, seeking wealth and wealth.

Seeing that Huan Jie was uneasy, Liu Xie did not continue, but instead discussed specific plans and arrangements.

Some words, point to the end, should not be too deep.

For now, Changsha people are not a problem for the court to worry about, and Huan Jie is also available.To fight a protracted war with the Central Plains family, not only must the support of ordinary people be gained, but also these so-called humble and common people must be brought into the united front.

Just be cautious and don't feed tigers.

Historically, Cao Cao and Sun Quan followed this path, but they failed to persist to the end, and they were unable to break the monopoly of the aristocratic family on education, and finally were seized by the aristocratic family.

As a time traveler, he seized the military power from the very beginning, and then promoted enlightenment, saving the land, and implemented the imperial examination system step by step, just to compete with the aristocratic family for the right to education.

Fighting for the right to education is, in the final analysis, fighting for talents.

The introduction of the nine-rank Zhongzheng system in history was the family's counterattack against Cao Cao's meritocracy, and it was a competition for talents.

A poor family like Huan Jie is a ready-made talent, so there is no reason not to use it.

After careful consideration, Liu Xie asked Huan Jie to write, drafted an imperial edict, and sent someone to Nanyang, ordering Situ Mansion to be responsible for the preparation of the Changsha ship officer. It would be best to send a long history-level official to Changsha to handle the matter .

The matter of the ship officer came to an end for the time being, Liu Xie asked Huan Jie, what should be done next?
Huan Jie didn't think about it. "Lingnan is isolated, and I haven't heard news from the Han family for a long time. Your Majesty should go to the front-line army to boost morale, and make an emergency landing on Shixie, so that the Lingnan people will know the majesty of the Han family, and non-Shixie brothers can usurp it."

Liu Xie thinks so. "good."

-

Situ and Sikong received imperial edicts one after another.Within a few days, Yang Biao and Zhou Zhong met successively to discuss the performance of their duties under the imperial edict.

Zhou Zhong had a headache.

The emperor said that he had handed over the government affairs to Situ and Sikong, but he was not idle.Every time he went to a place, but he saw something, he issued an imperial edict, ordering Situ and Sikong to handle it, but they still had to do it.

This way, he will be busier than before the emperor returned to power.

At least before the emperor returned to power, he seldom went out and didn't see so many things.

Fortunately, he has plenty of time now.

"Wen Xian, if it's really like what Jia Wenhe said, the emperor patrols all over the world all year round. I'm afraid the officials of Situ and Sikong's mansion are far from enough. At least double it." Zhou Zhong raised his hand and shook it, weakly. Said.

Yang Biao was very calm. "Could it be that you also want to do nothing?"

Zhou Zhong was startled and shook his hands again and again. "Wen Xian, don't talk nonsense. I don't mean that. I just think that the emperor is too young and has too much energy. We old officials really can't keep up."

"You might as well learn from my Situ Mansion and set up a few more long histories." Yang Biao grinned. "To tell you the truth, since the establishment of Liufu Changshi and the four Changshi of Southeast and Northwest, I have become much more relaxed. On weekdays, I can not only take a lunch break, but also drink tea every now and then. Not only the two prefectures, but several I have tasted all the tea from Qing Temple, but the tea from your Sikong Mansion is the best."

Zhou Zhong glared at Yang Biao. "Don't talk nonsense, I also said that the tea in your Situ Mansion is the best."

Yang Biao laughed out loud.

Zhou Zhong thought for a while, and said again: "I'm not saying that the emperor is troublesome, and he doesn't dare. It's just that if this expansion continues, the salary will also increase exponentially, and the court's expenditure will increase. Can it afford it? Administration still focuses on tranquility. It is important not to have too many things, otherwise the people will be overstaffed, and it will inevitably become bloated, and the court will be overwhelmed sooner or later. It is easy to increase manpower now, but it will be difficult to abolish it in the future."

Yang Biao nodded in agreement. He also had the same worry, but not as strongly as Zhou Zhong.

Now that the economy is developing rapidly, it is not surprising that the fiscal revenue of the imperial court will double or twice in the future. It is also necessary for the government and the temple to increase a little manpower, but it is necessary to control the scale.

"Jiamou, do you have any impression of Huan Jie?"

Zhou Zhong snorted. "I know a thing or two. He was promoted by Sun Jian as Xiaolian. He entered the palace as Shang Shulang. He is decisive and talented, but he has a small temper and is not a pure-hearted person, that is..."

Yang Biao coughed and interrupted Zhou Zhong. "He has just been appointed by the emperor as a servant, and he is quite valued."

Zhou Zhong was startled, and closed his mouth embarrassingly.

He didn't have a good impression of Huan Jie, and the document he received said that Huan Jie was the leader of the trouble, and he filed a lawsuit against Zhang Ji when he picked up the driver, which made him, Sikong, go to Changsha to investigate the case in person, so he inevitably felt a little resentful and wanted to complain Huan Jie said a few words.

But the emperor attaches great importance to Huanjie, so he can't talk nonsense, otherwise, wouldn't it be a way to say that the emperor is ignorant of people?
That is to be scolded.
