An open and honest speech instantly brought Liu Xie to Changsha people closer. The officials present became enthusiastic and asked the emperor on their own initiative. There were many questions, including the wise men in front of them, and the people's livelihood policies they cared about.
Not included.
Liu Xie answered patiently one by one without any concealment.
Good is good, bad is bad.
He had previously talked about someone's proposal to be the capital of Jiangling, and also about why Jiangling was not suitable for being the capital. Now he also talked about his understanding of Changsha and some changes in his views after coming to Changsha, without any reason for this to damage his image as a Saint King
And avoid it.
He knew one thing well that sincerity with shortcomings is always more affinity than false sages.
Who can do without sages? A perfect saint can only be carved on a monument and offered in a temple, but will not live in the real world.
Changsha people are simple but not stupid, and there are many wise men like Huan Jie. If you talk empty-handedly and talk big in front of them, you will end up being treated the same as Liu Biao. On the contrary, they are not as good as Sun Jian, who openly admits his shortcomings.
Only sincerity can move people.
This is true in Changsha, and even more so in other counties in Jiangnan. Compared with the Central Plains counties, the economic development level of these counties is far from sufficient and the culture and education is relatively backward. What we need to deal with with them is real benefits, not just talking about it.
Respect from above.
Facts proved Liu Xie's idea, and the representative of the Changsha gentry who came to welcome him was very satisfied with his attitude.
Those who are dissatisfied with are not Changsha people, such as Zhang Ji, Huang Zu, and Han Xuan.
Zhang Ji has a history of shadyness. He just sued the people of Changsha, so he naturally couldn't get better.
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 his eyes are looking at him, and it is as if he is on his back.
These eyes looked like Sun Jian's, but not exactly, which made him feel cold in his neck.
Han Xuan was very disappointed.
He was the prefect of Changsha and the highest official position among the people who came to welcome the charity, but Huan Jie took away the light that originally belonged to him as soon as he opened his mouth. The people of Changsha didn't take him seriously, and the emperor didn't even see him in his eyes, as if he was this
The prefect of Changsha is like a decoration.
It seems that the emperor is very dissatisfied with his performance. If he doesn't find a way, his career may end here.

Huan Jie became the Minister of the Emperor and became a close minister of the Emperor. He quickly handed over relevant government affairs and changed into the Minister of the Emperor's costume.
For him, this was his second entry into the North Korea.
Before this, he was called a filial and honest person by Sun Jian and appointed as a Shangshu Lang. Sun Jian died in Xiangyang in battle. After hearing the news, he rushed to Xiangyang and asked Liu Biao for Sun Jian's body and sent it back to Jiangdong, but he did not return.
He served in the court and has been staying in the local area.
Because of this, Huan Jie became famous and became a well-known righteous man.
Liu Biao also heard about his reputation and once wanted to pronounce him as an official, but he refused.
Speaking of the past, Liu Xie was also a little strange, so he asked Huan Jie during a chat after the banquet, "Do you have the foresight and know that Liu Biao cannot succeed, or is it because Sun Jian died at the hands of Liu Biao that he is unwilling to be with Liu Biao?"
Huan Jie was frank and both.
He further explained to Liu Xie that the reason why Liu Biao was able to enter Jingzhou alone was in addition to his personal reputation, it was inseparable from the help of Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others. Kuai Yue and Cai Mao were all from Nanjun, and the specific ones
They are all from the counties near Xiangyang. They have always been prejudiced against Jiangnan. After gaining power, they only care about their own interests and never think about others, let alone the four counties in Jiangnan.
Although Liu Xian and others were denied Liu Biao because of their reputation, they did not gain Liu Biao's trust.
Huan Jie knew about Liu Biao as early as when the imperial court was the Secretary-General. He knew that this person had nothing to achieve and would be defeated in the future. In addition to Sun Jian's death, he naturally did not want to destroy his reputation for his comfort in recent years.
Liu Xie heard the implicit sound and suddenly realized. "You refused to enter the court before, because of Liu Xian?"
Huan Jie did not hide anything. "That is. If I hadn't seen Liu Xian's nephew Zhou Bumi, even if Your Majesty surrendered 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 but smile.
His meeting with Liu Xian was indeed not smooth, and Liu Xian suffered a lot of grievances.
Fortunately, the result was still satisfactory. Liu Xian is currently the chief secretary of Situ’s mansion and is responsible for the affairs of the three prefectures of You and Ji. Zhou Buyi is by his side and is a boy, asking for help from natural sciences including mathematics, and is considered young.
It will be a matter of time before the best in the generation can make a name for themselves.
"There is the legacy of Chu Kuang under your feet."
Huan Jie smiled. "I am more lucky than Yu, and more lucky than Qu Zi, and Jia Sheng. When people reach middle age, they can still serve Your Majesty and go to the kingly way together."
"This is fate." Liu Xie sighed. "When time comes, heaven and earth work together, heroes are not free. People should help themselves, and God helps them later. If I don't work hard, how can I meet again with my feet?"
Huan Jie looked a little embarrassed.
Liu Xie changed the topic. "I am like this, the Han Dynasty is like this, and Changsha is like this. Mr. Huan, tell me what you think."
Huan Jie was slightly stunned, and then understood what Liu Xie meant, and felt ashamed. 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 feeling that others should help themselves and could not wait for the gift.
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed the case.
The court intends to develop Jiangnan and has been working hard in recent years, but in the final analysis, the court can provide limited help to Jiangnan, and instead needs Jiangnan to provide money and grain to supply the army to conquer.
In order to develop in Jiangnan, it ultimately depends on itself.
Huan Jie thought about it carefully. "Your Majesty, this is a century-old plan. I dare not take the liberty. I also asked Your Majesty to think about it for a few days before reporting."
"It should be like this." Liu Xie agreed happily and said to Zhou Busi: "You will find out the relevant documents of Situ's Mansion on the establishment of the capital in Jiangling for reference by Mr. Huan."
Zhou Buyi bowed and took the order and went to pick up the documents.
Liu Xie also said: "Although the idea of building a capital in Jiangling is not feasible for the time being, Jiangling's advantages are still valid. If these advantages can be fully utilized, Jiangnan's development can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Huan Jie expressed his agreement and immediately said, "Your Majesty, I have a superficial idea."
"explain."
"There are many water in the south of the Yangtze River, and ships are the most important means of transportation. It depends on their strength to transport troops, grain and cargo. Although there are ship officials in Yuzhang, they mainly supervise warships and have no time to take care of civilian ships. Dongting is vast,
It is enough to test the ship. If the ship officer can build a ship in Changsha and specialize in manufacturing new civilian ships, it may be helpful."
Liu Xie's heart moved.
After several years of hard work and a large amount of capital investment, the technical level of Yuzhang Ship Officer has been significantly improved, and even the prototype of propeller - vehicles and ships. However, these technologies are currently only used to build warships and go to sea for Sun Ce.
Preparing for war will produce limited economic benefits.
If the military can be converted to civilians and expand these technologies to the field of people's livelihood, they can quickly generate benefits and feed back to the research on shipbuilding technology.
Huan Jie's proposal is right.
However, the timing is so coincidental, it doesn’t seem like a flash of inspiration, but it has been planned.
Among the Yuzhang ship officials, there are Changsha people. Huan Jie and others should have learned some news and knew that the upgrade of shipbuilding technology was right in front of them. They wanted to take this opportunity to get a share of the pie.

The interests are limited and cannot be evenly affected by rain and dew, and it is not convenient to discuss publicly in public. Huan Jie can only ask for an order in front of the imperial court.
