Yu Fan is a discerning person. He could tell. Continue as it is now. Liu Xin will ascend to the throne sooner or later. And Yu Fan is a good hand in handling government affairs. He knows better. To make the three counties of Jiangnan develop faster. The most lacking is people. Such a big place. One million Xuzhou refugees invested in it is not enough. It is necessary to attract more people from other places to move to the south of the Yangtze River. This must promote the benefits of Jiangnan. If Liu Xin personally compose a poem for Jiangnan. With Liu Xin's accession to the throne. This poem will circulate throughout Dahan. By the time. Everyone will know. Even Liu Xin, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, liked this precious land in Jiangnan. Naturally, it will be able to attract people.
Others don't know how much ink there is in his stomach. Liu Xin knew it very well. We will arrive in Jiangnan next year. If you want to mention this again. Ask him to compose a poem. He certainly can't make it. And even impromptu misappropriation of the famous poems of predecessors. There are a few poems in his memory. It may not be usable.
Liu Xin was stunned. Jushou had already stroked the long beard under his jaw and smiled: "Back then, the lord wrote "The Inscription of the Shao Shi" improvisationally. Another five steps to make "The Poetry of a Quiet Night". Ju has Xing present. The scene at that time. Now I want to come back and I still remember it. Since then, I have rarely heard of the master’s masterpieces. Because of the busy affairs of the master, I really can’t squeeze the time to chant poems and odes.”
Liu Xin listened. Nodded secretly. Still Jushou understood him. Find a good reason for him. He will go to Jiangnan and his party next year. It is entirely possible to use the itinerary to rush down the request for overturning.
But Jushou said, "If the lord comes to the south of the Yangtze River, he can compose a poem. The subordinates will have the opportunity to feast their ears. It is a great joy in life."
Liu Xin's face was depressed. This just remembered. Jushou is not only his adviser and spy chief. More like Yu Fan. They are all literati. Is a literati. Naturally, it is indispensable to find someone to talk about poetry and poetry. It's better for Mi Zhu. Mi Zhu is a businessman. Only talk about business experience. Where will the poems be discussed
Seeing Liu Xin's face is cloudy and uncertain. Yu Fan folded his hands and said, "Is there something embarrassing the lord?"
in fact. Yu Fan asked Liu Xin to write a poem when he went to Jiangnan. It's because he doesn't believe that there are all-round talents in the world. He also heard some rumors about Liu Xin. Literary talent. There is martial arts. But I have never heard of how many generals Liu Xin killed on the battlefield. In addition to a few works. In the next six or seven years. Never heard of Liu Xin’s works coming out.
If it is the past. Yu Fanquan regarded Liu Xin as being praised by others. But now it's different. Liu Xin trusted him so much. He wanted to give all he could to repay Liu Xin. And a person who puzzled him. It's not worth it. He saw Liu Xin's strong physique with his own eyes. But he didn't believe that Liu Xin's literary talent was really outstanding.
Although Liu Xin didn't know what Yu Fan was thinking. But he must never show his timidity before his subordinates. Can not help frowning. There was a sudden flash of light in my mind. Waved his hand. Said: "That's not the case. The place in the south of the Yangtze River. Liu has been there several times. Looking back now. It really is a beautiful scenery."
Yu Fan said in surprise: "It turns out that the lord has been to Jiangnan. It's a pity that his subordinates had no relationship with the lord at that time. Otherwise, they would have been able to listen to the lord's teachings earlier."
Liu Xin smiled and said, "That was many years ago. Liu used to play in the Jiangnan area for many days. But next spring. Liu went to Jiangnan not to visit the mountains and water. It was to appreciate the people's sentiments. Poems. Fu seems out of fashion. It's better. Liu should be asked by Mr. today. Let’s make a poem Reminiscing Jiangnan."
I heard that Liu Xin is going to write a poem now. Both Jushou and Yu Fan pricked their ears. The atmosphere dare not come out. Even Mi Zhu, who rarely dabbled in poems, opened his eyes wide.
"Jiangnan is good. The scenery is old. At sunrise, the river is more prosperous than fire. The river is green as blue in spring. Can you remember Jiangnan." Liu Xin cleared her throat. Sing softly.
in fact. This is not a rhythmic poem. It's a word. but. Liu Xin didn't quite understand this fellow. I read it out as a poem. Moreover. There is not much in his stomach either. This song "Recalling Jiangnan" happened to be remembered. Read it out now. Gu turned up his mouth. It's better than catching the blind when the time comes. Fortunately, Jushou and Yu Fan couldn't hear them either. Although I think the rhythm is a bit strange. But the artistic conception is very beautiful. There was a moment of silence. Can't help but applaud again and again.
Liu Xin said brazenly: "Improvised. It made several gentlemen laugh. Liu only hopes that Jiangnan will be in the future. It will be unforgettable once you have visited it. He always remembers and thinks often. Only then can he come and go often. Jiangnan is thriving. Let the people live and work in peace and contentment."
Since then, Yu Fan has no doubts about Liu Xin. And this song "Recalling Jiangnan". It tells Liu Xin's fond memories of Jiangnan. The future emperor will never forget Jiangnan. Isn't it the best advertisement? Yu Fan quickly got up. He handed over and said: "The subordinates must fulfill their mission. Next spring, a brand new Jiangnan will be presented to the lord."
Liu Xin was amused. After coming to the end of Han Dynasty. He really hasn't been to Jiangnan. No matter what Jiangnan becomes. It must be brand new to him. In other words, the old one is more appropriate. He didn't know. Yu Fan has secretly made up his mind. There will be no rest for the Spring Festival this year. To mobilize the government and the people. Work hard for a hundred days. Make a career.
Seeing Mi Zhu and Yu turning back, bowed and retreated. Jushou also became casual. Go to the chair opposite Liu Xin and sit down. He handed over and said: "Lord. Please forgive his subordinates for speaking out. Mi Zhu is not a person who is proficient in government affairs. The lord must not entrust important tasks."
Liu Xin smiled. Said: "Public and rest assured. Liu Mo knows exactly what Mi Zhu is like. He advises and handles government affairs. It is not his director. Liu plans to set up a commerce department under the Ministry of Households. Specialized in foreign trade. This matter is left to Mi Zhu. Responsibility couldn’t be more appropriate.”
Although Mi Zhu's several shops in Xiangyang City were in general business. But Liu Xin knew. That's because he just came here for the first time. Because of the unfamiliar place of life. It's not his ability to do business. in contrast. Liu Xin once looked through the accounts of these shops. All are clearly recorded. It shows Mi Zhu's ability in this area.
Liu Xin arranged this way. There is another reason.
After hundreds of years of development by Dahan. The gentry family has actually controlled the entire society. These gentry families seem to be irrelevant on the surface. Even fight with each other. In fact, it is a whole. Because their interests are the same. All for this gentry class to become the main body of society.
The power of the gentry may be bright or dark. It has penetrated into all aspects of society. Possess a huge amount of energy. Even after the Jin and Tang Dynasties. In this process. Some families have gradually fallen into decline. But soon a new family emerged. Take their place.
Broadly speaking. Just get an official position. It can be considered as entering the gentry class. But not all gentry can be called aristocratic families. To become a family. It often requires the efforts of two, three or more generations. Like these civil and military men under Liu Xin. Jushou, Tian Feng, Guo Jia, and Yu Fan can only be called gentry. Just like the Cai family and Kuai family in Jingzhou. The Mi family in Xuzhou can be regarded as a real family. And have the ability to manipulate the overall situation of the world. It is the aristocratic family in the gentry class.
Of course Liu Xin didn't want to see what she had worked so hard to lay down. In the end, it was controlled by the noble family. He is sure to suppress and disintegrate the gentry family. but. Liu Xin didn't want to rush.
in history. Cao Cao had spared no effort to suppress the gentry family. It's even a bloody suppression. Killed many people. Fucked a lot of homes. This policy lasted until the end of Cao Wei.
but. Cao Cao didn't expect it at all. The bureaucratic system under him was based on the gentry system. He killed a group of gentry. A group of aristocratic families were destroyed. There will be a new batch of gentry. The new family. result. The Sima Yi family adopted a completely opposite policy. They won the support of the gentry family. Eventually usurped the Cao family.
Lessons from the past. The teacher behind the car. Of course Liu Xin would not follow the old path of Cao Cao. and so. Liu Xin established an imperial examination system. It is to fight against the gentry system. Liu Xin did not allow the civil and military under his hand and those aristocratic families to have private soldiers. It seems to prevent them from rebelling. In fact, it is also to gradually weaken their power.
but. However, Liu Xin couldn't push these gentry families too hastily. Sometimes these gentry families are like springs. You squeeze it. He might shrink back. But the harder you press. The greater the power he has accumulated. When it broke out one day. It will give you a fatal blow.
and so. On the one hand, Liu Xin wanted to weaken the power of the noble family. On the other hand, it showed the attitude of trying to win over these noble families. but. Liu Xin didn't want to win over all the noble families. No one can make all the noble families stand on his side. For example, the Cai family, the Kuai family, and the Mi family were the objects he tried to woo. At the time, the Chen family in Jingzhou and the Wei family in Hedong a few years ago were all his targets.
In this process. Liu Xin has tenderness. There is another strong fist. He was determined and thorough when attacking the Chen family and the Wei family. But he was extremely tolerant of the Cai family and the Kuai family. Thus. Let those gentry families find out Liu Xin's true intentions.
Although Mi's family came to Xiangyang under the instigation of Zhang Liao and others. But in the eyes of people who don't know the inside story. But it was Mi's family who took the initiative to turn to Liu Xin. Liu Xin naturally wanted to support Mi's family vigorously. It was also to confuse those gentry families.
Thousands of family members and child servants from Mi's family moved to Jingzhou. So many people naturally want to eat. If Mi's business still fails to improve. One day I will sit and eat the mountains and sky. Liu Xin appointed Mi Zhu to be responsible for foreign trade. Although Mi Zhu is an upright person. He would never use his power to seek benefits for the Mi family. But it couldn't stop those businessmen with a keen sense of smell from taking the initiative to contact Mi's business. This indirectly achieved the purpose of supporting Mi's family.
Of course. This reason is inconvenient to tell Jushou. Because strictly speaking. Jushou can also be counted as a member of the gentry. Although he is loyal. And he may not realize it himself. But this is the fact. And what Liu Xin had to deal with was the entire gentry class.
Jushou is in charge of the Phantom Spy. Responsible for spying on all aspects of news. He also knows Mi Zhu's situation quite well. There is no doubt about him. He smiled and said: "The Lord knows people to make good use of. The fruit is the wise Lord."
Liu Xin waved her hand. Said: "Don't praise me yet. Tell me about it. What's happening in Liu Bei."
Jushou took out a letter from his sleeve. Pass it to Liu Xin. Said: "Everything can't be hidden from the lord. This is news about Xuzhou just sent."
