Han Dao world

Huan Jie was right.It is not possible for Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi to just introduce private capital into the ship's officers.Their attitude towards private capital is to suppress, use various methods to restrict, and finally even use cruel policies such as suing order, which has ruined countless middle-class families.

However, the emperor did the opposite, and it was unheard of to introduce private capital into the ship's officers.

But think about the four peoples he advocated, the equality of men and women are now deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the effect is remarkable. Nanyang folk capital construction workshops and weaving workshops have made a lot of money. You will think that he is talented and bold, dare to think, others dare not think, behave like a man, dare not act.

What's more, his plan is not a whim, but a detailed plan, and he has even considered how to distribute dividends and how to collect taxes in the future.

Thinking about the scene of a large number of new ships appearing after private capital became a shareholder of the ship's officers, it makes people feel excited.

Fu wept with joy.

After waiting for ten years, Huan Jie finally got his chance again.

Even if this opportunity slipped away from him once.

This also shows that Huan Jie hits the rich and the rich, and he can't escape.It was right for her to marry Huan Jie, even though Huan Jie is several years older than her and has a straight temper.

With her family background and appearance, she could have had a better choice.

"Okay, you are tired too, go to rest early." Huan Jie waved his hand, motioning them to leave quickly.

"What about you?" Huan Zuan said.

"I'm going to read through these documents overnight, and discuss with each family tomorrow. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If it succeeds, in ten years' time, Changsha will become a large county in the south of the Yangtze River, comparable to Wu County and Yuzhang. If I miss this opportunity, future generations will scold me."

Huan Zuan and Fu Shi glanced at each other, and said: "In that case, then I will accompany my brother, and learn a lot by the way."

"Nonsense!" Huan Jie glared at Huan Zuan. "This is a document from Situ's mansion. I am a servant, and I have the opportunity to bring it back to read because of the gift of the emperor. You are a commoner, how can you watch it?"

Huan Zuan got his nose turned gray, blushed, and walked away awkwardly.

Seeing this, Fu Shi said angrily: "Shu Xu also has good intentions, why are you so stern?"

"Ma'am, you don't know something. The emperor is easy-going, that's our luck as a courtier, but we can't be presumptuous because of it. If Shu Xu passes the examination of Sanqi in the future, and gets along with the emperor day and night, if he doesn't know how to measure, he will make a big mistake sooner or later. I am now Strictly demanding him is also a reminder to him."

Fu understood Huan Jie's good intentions and said nothing more.

-

Huan Jie read the documents all night, combined with what the emperor told him before, he had a deep understanding of the ins and outs of the whole matter, and he also had a clearer grasp of the emperor's choice and determination.

The emperor's determination to develop Jiangnan is unshakable. It is an inevitable trend that the world's economic center of gravity will shift from the banks of the Yellow River to the banks of the Yangtze River. This is an opportunity for Changsha and even more so for Jiangnan. Don't miss it.

Among the counties in the south of the Yangtze River, Changsha has unique advantages.

First, there is relatively more arable land, which can feed more people.As long as the education can keep up and the school construction is complete, the population advantage can be transformed into a talent advantage.

Second, the transportation is developed.From Xiangshui to the south, via Lingqu, you can communicate with Jiaozhou, which is far more convenient than Yuzhang, which relies on Ganshui.

If it is considered that Wuling can go deep into Wuxi and strengthen the penetration of the barbarians in the mountainous areas and even the southern part of Yizhou, it will have inestimable significance for the imperial court to control the entire south.

The emperor first came to Changsha when he crossed the river, and he intends to build a ship officer and a school here, probably because of this.

The documents provided to him by the emperor also included some rough plans for establishing the capital in Jiangling, including the economic development trend of Nanyang and Nanjun.Although it was just some simple numbers, Huan Jie saw the emperor's confidence.

Advocating practical learning, emphasizing business and industry, and cooperating with the policy of all people are all men, can play a role far beyond his imagination.The rapid development of Nanyang in the past two years, in addition to Nanyang's own advantages, the effect of the new policy should not be underestimated.

It can even be said that the New Deal is the biggest driving force.

Hedong, Guanzhong, Liangzhou, and Jizhou all reflect the great influence of the New Deal.

Now, this opportunity has come to Jiangnan, Changsha, and in front of him, how can he let it go.

In the middle of the night after reading, Huan Jie lay down with his clothes on and took a nap.

He had a dream, dreaming that the great river was tamed and Changsha was prosperous.Dreaming of Dongting and Xiangshui, boats are like crucian carp crossing the river, sails are like clouds covering the sky, crossing the river and sea, thousands of miles away.I dreamed that there are cities everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are big cities in each city, with merchants coming and going, goods piled up in mountains, and everyone is neatly dressed and courteous.

"Strong, big man! So strong, Huaxia!" A gratified smile appeared on the corner of Huan Jie's mouth.

Chapter 1201 A Rare Opportunity

Fu Shi got up early and made breakfast.

Huan Jie went out after breakfast, full of fighting spirit, like a general going to war.

When he arrived at the agreed place, a group of people were already waiting for him, chatting in the courtyard.Many people have dark circles under their eyes, but they look excited.The few people who were lucky enough to take part in the pick-up yesterday were surrounded like stars around the moon.

The arrival of the emperor in Changsha is a big event, which has attracted too many people's attention, but not everyone is qualified to participate in the reception, so we can only listen to some rumors.After waiting all night, I came early this morning to inquire about the news.

An older Confucian scholar was a little impatient at being asked and shook his sleeves.

"What are you in a hurry for? When Huan Boxu comes, everything will be clear. He is now the emperor's attendant, and he was left behind by the emperor for a long talk after the banquet yesterday. He understands the situation better than me."

Someone echoed: "Yes, what's the rush? The emperor is young and promising, and it is obvious to all. Needless to say, he admired Qu Zi and Jia Sheng, and he also admired Mr. Sun. You may not know that there are many people around him. A young loose rider, long and short, with a pair of blue eyes, is the second son of Mr. Sun, the younger brother of General Dou Ni."

"Really?" Someone was surprised. "Mr. Sun's husband and wife are both from Wu, so why does your son have blue eyes?"

"Well..." The man was a little embarrassed, and was thinking about how to explain, when he turned his head and saw Huan Jie entering the door, he immediately changed the subject. "Bo Xu is here, ask him."

The crowd surrounded Huan Jie with a whimper, heard Huan Jie in the middle, startled Huan Jie, and shouted to calm down, don't be impulsive.

When they came to sit in the hall together, Huan Jie knew what these people wanted to hear, so he didn't pretend to be a joke, and directly stated the conclusion first.

After everyone listened, they looked at each other.

Huan Jie was already mentally prepared, and said with a smile, "I can't believe it?"

The old Confucian scholar stroked his beard. "It's not only unbelievable, it's simply unheard of. Bo Xu, if it's not that you are a servant, then the emperor is crazy."

"That's right, this...how is it possible."

"I don't think it's believable either."

"..."

Everyone was chattering, and some people shook their heads while talking, expressing that they could not accept it.

What they heard was that the emperor relied on Xiliang soldiers, suppressed the family, forcibly saved the land, and robbed the people's wealth.The aristocratic family in the Central Plains suffered heavy losses, and the mourners were everywhere. Some Ruying people even left their hometowns and moved to Bohai Sea.

As far as Changsha is concerned, it was not long ago that they were forced to surrender to the court.Liu Xian's earnest persuasion still rings in his ears.When Zhang Ji was in office, what Xiliang soldiers did was obvious to all.

How could such an emperor allow them to build a ship officer with the imperial court and benefit from it?

It can't be a trap, first trick us into investing money, wait until the ship's officer is completed, and then find a reason to swallow our money, and even kill everyone together.

Those heroic masters in history did not seldom do such things, or in other words, the heroic masters love to do such things the most.

Emperor Qin and Wu of Han are no exception.

Huan Jie didn't speak, and when the discussion was over and they calmed down again, he smiled softly and said, "Your worries are justified and unreasonable. It's justified because the emperor is really worried about the end of the family, just like Jia Sheng was worried about the princes in the past. It's unreasonable, you guys overestimated your own strength."

He looked up, a smile on his lips. "Although we are small and rich, we are only called rich in Changsha. In the Central Plains, we are just a middle-class family. It is not worth worrying about the emperor."

Everyone looked at each other, and while laughing dumbfounded, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it is embarrassing to say this, it is a fortunate thing not to be tabooed by the emperor.

"The Son of Heaven does not oppose the wealth of the people. On the contrary, he has always said that poverty is not king, and that only the wealth of the people can make the country strong. What he opposes is wealth without benevolence. It is the aristocratic families who rely on their wealth to annex the land, so that the people cannot live and live in peace, and are forced to take risks..."

Huan Jie extracted the information he got from talking with the emperor last night and reading the documents later, and explained them one by one.

Changsha is located in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it has a lot of communication with the Central Plains, a lot of information is still distorted and not the original appearance.

For example, there are many rumors about the large-scale conquest of the Nanyang family by the emperor, especially the feudal monarch.

The emperor did dismiss many lords, but that was because these lords did not fulfill their obligations.When the emperor was in trouble, they remained indifferent.When the emperor implemented the New Deal, they obstructed it.

How can such a person become a national fence?

The imperial court enfeoffed the country not only to reward the meritorious officials, but also to set up a vassal for the country in order to support the imperial court.

Since they cannot afford such a responsibility, it is reasonable to deprive them of their titles.

Furthermore, the emperor only seized their titles and food towns, and did not kill them all, retaining their property.Those people are now running businesses, and their lives are not worse than before, but such news does not conform to some people's views, so they never mention it.

Huan Jie then introduced what he learned from the document to everyone.

The emperor mentioned that someone proposed to establish Jiangling as the capital, and he also had the task of inspecting Jiangling when he went south this time, which was not groundless.

Specifically, the people who made this suggestion were the left chief Shi Zhang Song of Situ Mansion, and the south chief Shi Zheng Du.

Both of these two were from Shu County, and they entered the court after Yizhou became a minister.In addition to being the Zuo Changshi of Situ Mansion, Zhang Song is also the younger generation trusted by the emperor, with high expectations.His point of view was rejected by Situ Mansion, but approved by the emperor.

It's just that after the emperor's on-site inspection, he felt that Jiangling did not yet have the conditions to be a capital.

However, the emperor's determination to develop Jiangnan is unquestionable, which can be verified from many aspects.There is no doubt that he wants to build a ship in Dongting Lake, and it is no lie that he wants you to participate in the cooperation. You can trust him, just like you trust me.

Although Huan Jie was not very old, he was the leader of Changsha scholars, comparable to Xun Yu's status among Ruying people, and won the trust of everyone.Since he said such a thing, even if everyone has doubts, they can put it down temporarily.

They then discussed the specifics.

Huan Jie came up with several plans of varying sizes for everyone to discuss together.

In fact, Changsha and Wuling prefectures already had ship officers, but these ship officers were too small in scale and were only responsible for the management and repair of official ships, or building some small ships, without the ability to build large ships.This time, the ship officers they are building put more emphasis on shipbuilding, and they are building large ships to facilitate long-distance transportation and trade.

The emperor focused on industry and commerce, and dispatched elite soldiers and generals to expand overseas.Merchant ships from Jingzhou and Yizhou went out to sea along the Yangtze River and went straight to Liaodong and Zhongshan, making a lot of profits.People in Changsha saw it, and naturally they would not be indifferent.They also want to build big ships to go to sea, do big business, and earn huge profits.

At the beginning, their idea was to imitate a sea-going ship, which was not large in scale and limited in investment.If in the name of the prefect's mansion, the technology of the Yuzhang ship officer can be obtained free of charge, it will be enough to invest [-] to [-] gold.If you can't get the name of the prefect's mansion, you can only buy a ship to imitate it, and the expenses will be much higher, which they may not be able to afford.

Now the Son of Heaven is willing to cooperate with them, and in the name of Situ Mansion, the scale can naturally be larger, and their investment will also be expanded accordingly, exceeding their previous plan.

Although Changsha is not poor, it is not extremely rich either. Those who can give out 6000 to [-] million in cash are considered rich, and many people can only give out a few million.To raise [-] to [-] gold, everyone here needs to go all out.

"With the promise of the emperor, why are you hesitating?" Huan Jie raised his arms and shouted. "This is an opportunity that Changsha has been waiting for hundreds of years since the establishment of the county. Can it become the world's largest county within ten years? Today. If you don't fight now, when will you wait?"

Chapter 1202 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 20 gold as shares, plus the technology and capital that Situ Mansion can provide, plus Liu Xie’s contribution as Queen Fushou, a total of about 300 gold can be raised, and a ship with Yuzhang can be built. Large ship officers of similar size, including a [-]-person ship management school.

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.
