Liu Xian really tried his best to please Zheng Xuan, and unconsciously, he created an image of a young and studious and erudite person in front of Zheng Xuan.

Zheng Xuan naturally looked at Liu Xian more and more pleasing to the eye, if he didn't have a daughter, otherwise he would really want to recruit Liu Xian as a son-in-law.

Of course, Zheng Xuan's heart was also surprised, it was very strange that Liu Xian was just a weak-crowned teenager, how could he know so much after more than ten years, and astronomy and geography were involved, which really made him puzzled. However, this world is so big that there are no surprises, and some people are born to know it. What's more, he has indeed seen many prodigies in the world, who are so smart that they make his scalp tingle. It's like Kong Rong he knew, who was so smart that he couldn't believe it when he was a child. In this way, he will not deliberately investigate the origin of Liu Xian's knowledge.

He didn't know that Liu Xian had already begun to fight his idea when he knew Zheng Qing, especially knowing that Zheng Xuan's disciples were very numerous, Liu Xian was already thinking about how to recruit his disciples through Zheng Xuan for his own use.

For talents, Liu Xian is eclectic in his use, Mo is said to be a disciple of Zheng Xuan, even if he is an ordinary reader, who knows how to read and write, he is very useful. If among Zheng Xuan's disciples, if there are many talents who have enough talent to stand alone, it would be the best. Liu Xian would observe and examine them, and then let them do things for themselves according to their abilities and loyalty to themselves.

If among Zheng Xuan's disciples, if there are people who are capable enough to govern a county, then Liu Xian will find a way to let him govern a county for himself, just like this Beihai City, Liu Xian can completely make Liu Jie a county guard, but in fact, it is Zheng Xuan's disciples who are presiding over the governance of this county.

If it is a talent in a county, then Liu Xian can also let him govern a county. This is to make the best use of people's talents and materials.

Naturally, the most important thing is loyalty, which is true and unconditional loyalty to oneself.

In fact, Liu Xian already has a general policy on how to govern one county and one county. How to govern a county or a county, in fact, there is no need to govern on behalf of Liu Xian. What is needed is their recognition, understanding and execution of the strategic plan formulated by Liu Xian. Among them, there must be some details that require their personal ability to deal with the problems that can be handled well, and how to deal with the problems that Liu Xian's policy and policy have not been involved in, this is the real test of those people's talents.

At the very least, Liu Xian handed over a county or a county to them to govern, and while implementing the political policy formulated by Liu Xian, they were really able to handle all aspects of the problems of each county and one county, so that the people of each county could live and work in peace and contentment, and could develop rapidly, and this was something that could only be done by their personal talents.

Zheng Xuan has now been tempted and promised Liu Xian that he would write a letter to his disciple, but he still has to ask his disciple to reply to the letter.

These few disciples who were not in a hurry, but were still studying with Zheng Xuan, immediately called them and asked for their opinions.

The results were naturally gratifying, Ge Fei, He Zhuang, and Zhou Qi, all of whom expressed their willingness to work for Liu Xian.

In fact, the three of them are not young, they are all in their twenties, and they have been studying with Zheng Xuan for several years. How can a person keep learning instead of applying what he has learned?

However, they didn't have the opportunity to enter the ranks, so they could only study and learn from Zheng Xuan's side.

In addition, Zheng Xuan's son and Zheng Ming, the son of the Zheng family, were also willing to work for Liu Xian, but Liu Xian let them go to Liulin Village first.

As for the other three, Liu Xian wanted to ask them to stay in Beihai County and become an official in Beihai County first.

They readily agreed.

Naturally, what their current character and talents are, Liu Xian is not very clear, leaving them in Beihai County can be regarded as a test for them. Liu Xian still has to send people here anyway, and when the time comes, let people secretly observe how they are doing in Beihai County before rearranging them.

For Liu Xian to guard Liu Jie through the current Beihai County, and then send his own people to assist Liu Jie in governing a county, this is actually just an attempt by Liu Xian.

If it can succeed, then it proves that what Liu Xian wants is feasible, and he can also use this as a sample in the future to slowly expand the territory he can control.

Since Liu Xian planned to leave Ge Fei, He Zhuang, and Zhou Qi in Beihai County as officials. Then Zheng Xuan was also a little curious about how Liu Xian planned to use them to assist the current Taishou Liu Jie in governing Beihai County.

In the lobby of the Zheng Mansion, a few seats were added, so that Zheng Xuan's disciples were also seated.

Zheng Xuan asked Liu Xian: "Young son Liu Xian, since the official position of Liu Jie, the Taishou of Beihai, is donated with money, he himself does not have the talent to govern a county. But now he can listen to Liu Xiangongzi's advice and even orders. So how do you plan to get these disciples of Zheng to assist Liu Jie in governing Beihai County? In other words, what kind of level do you think it takes to govern Beihai County well? ”

Zheng Xuan asked Liu Xian about this, in fact, it also meant a little exquisite.

Although Zheng Xuan himself was reluctant to enter the office, he was reluctant to enter the office because the authority of the imperial court was sidelined and treacherous people were playing with power. In fact, among the average literati students, which one has not learned to sell the heart of the emperor? At the very least, there must be a reason for their original intentions.

Or it can be said that compared with the literati of this era, from the beginning of their literacy, they first learned the idea of loyalty, and then to benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, filial piety, and so on.

By the time Zheng Xuan is like this, he has become a great Confucian and a contemporary celebrity, even if they do not have political wisdom, they will definitely have their own set of theories or opinions on governing the world.

Now, through the exchange with Liu Xian, he knows very well in his heart that in today's Beihai, Liu Xian actually has the final say, or Liu Xian can influence the development trend of Beihai. Zheng Xuan knows very well how a young man like Liu Xian will govern a county in Beihai.

Zheng Xuan's question about Liu Xian was actually what several of his disciples wanted to know, that is, Zheng Qing also listened attentively and wanted to hear how Liu Xian planned to govern Beihai.

Liu Xian didn't have to think about it, because he already had a draft in his heart. In fact, Liu Xian will also use this set to fool people in the future.

Liu Xian's face turned pale, and he said: "Mr. Zheng Xuan, the kid is only a shallow learner, and he shouldn't have an axe in front of Mr., but since he asked, then the kid will talk about some of his own shallow opinions, and please correct what is wrong." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, if you meet Liu Xiangongzi tonight and drink and talk together, it's a good place to talk." Zheng Xuan waved his hand.

Liu Xian said modestly: "The kid really has no talent, but when it comes to governing the side, there are still some opinions. Let's put aside everything and say, governance, what is governance? What is the reason? In the foolish opinion of the boy, the first thing is to govern people, reason is law, and man governs law. “

"The rule of man?" Zheng Xuan asked.

Liu Xian didn't answer this, and said: "How can a place be governed well?" In my opinion, that is, as mentioned in the Book of Rites, so that the old have their ends, the strong have their usefulness, the young have their growth, and the widows, widows, loneliness, and the sick are all supported. To put it more bluntly, it is to enable everyone in the local area to live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"Governing people, or governing people, in my opinion, is actually all people-oriented, centering on the central idea that everyone in the area under their rule can live and work in peace and contentment to implement a strategy that adapts to the times, and when the above situation is achieved, it can be said that the place has been governed."

Zheng Xuan was naturally familiar with the Book of Rites, and after listening to what Liu Xian said, he nodded silently. People-oriented, so that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, if it can really be done like this, then such a living environment is indeed an ideal living environment.

But......

Zheng Xuan shook his head and said: "Young Master Liu Xian, what you said, this is just an ideal state, but in fact, the old man thinks that it is difficult to do, and there are many reasons why it cannot be done. ”

"That's right, this is indeed an ideal state, speaking of which, it is actually similar to the Taiping World in the Taiping Taoist teachings, saying so, but it is really difficult to do it." Liu Xian fully agreed with what Zheng Xuan said was difficult to do.

"If it's so difficult, what are you going to do?" Zheng Xuan asked.

Liu Xian immediately replied: "At this time and that time, what the world is, what kind of strategy must be adopted. The prosperous era is benevolent, the royal road is gentle and far-reaching, and the virtue is also; In troubled times, heavy canons are used, domineering killings are deterred, and the law is also. Virtue is the original, the rule of law is the standard, the virtue and the law are benevolent, the symptoms and the root causes are treated, and the world is peaceful. ”

"What happens to the Han elsewhere, we can just manage the place that can be managed. Beihai, I can barely influence it, but Beihai is now an uneven place, thieves invade, and the times are uneven. In this way, the kid believes that if you want to govern Beihai, it is suitable to use heavy codes in troubled times, overbearing killing and deterrence, and legislating first and then governing. According to the existing laws of the Han Dynasty, laws and regulations suitable for the chaotic land of Beihai can be formulated, and some rule of law for the benefit of the people can be enforced. ”

Liu Xian said forcefully: "However, in troubled times, the use of heavy codes and domineering killings requires those in power to have such ability and strength to implement the rule of law." Therefore, I formulated for Beihai, first of all, to mobilize the people of the whole county, recruit young and strong into an army, and when the officers and soldiers of the imperial court and government could not give Beihai a stable and stable living environment, the people should take up arms to protect their lives, defend their homes, and guard their parents, wives and children. This is a prerequisite, and everything must be under the condition of having the ability and strength to protect oneself before we can talk about anything else. ”

Liu Xian said this to Zheng Xuan, and in fact he had done so, but he hadn't been able to do it in Beihai Gaomi County for a while. If it can be done at that time, then it is impossible for the hundreds of officers and soldiers sent by He Jin to enter the territory of Beihai casually, and it is impossible to take away local literati and celebrities like Zheng Xuan casually.

The people protect themselves, that's right.

Zheng Xuan nodded and didn't say anything.

Liu Xian continued: "Under the auspices of the government, the people can form an army, and they can protect themselves. Then we must pay attention to the development of people's livelihood. The government should play an active role in this. The people's livelihood includes all aspects, one is naturally the problem of the people's cultivation, on the basis of the original fields, as far as possible to mobilize the people to open up wasteland, excavate irrigation and water conservancy, and so on. Cultivate as many fields as possible, and cultivate them intensively to increase food production. In these cases, the government must also carry out a work of support and guidance. For example, select high-quality grain seeds, improve and build agricultural tools for people to cultivate and work, how to collect and use crop fertilizers, and so on. As long as production increases, people will be able to get more and more food to feed their families. For example, the establishment of schools so that the children of ordinary people can read and write, and then encourage commerce, develop some handicrafts, etc., so that the people can have some extra income in addition to farming......"

"In short, if you really want to govern a place well, there are all kinds of problems involved. And it's not something that can be done in a moment. Brother Ge, Brother He, Brother Zhou, the main work you have to do when you stay in Beihai County Government is actually this aspect of things, how to make the people of Beihai live and work in peace and contentment, this requires your wisdom and talent, and you need to learn to do a good job. If you can rise to the occasion and solve the problems, then Beihai will definitely get better slowly, and you will be able to make the people of Beihai live and work in peace and contentment. As for the people's formation of an army and self-protection, you don't have to worry, these will be taken care of by Zheng Qingjun and Sima. In the future, these Beihai reserve forces, which were formed by the young and strong people, will also be the basic backing for you to implement the rule of law in Beihai. “

"Listening to the county has benefited the students a lot. Although we are not talented, we will definitely remember what Liu Gongzi said today, in Beihai County Government, we will definitely assist Liu Jie Taishou, everything is people-oriented, and strive to govern Beihai and develop Beihai. Ge Fei regarded himself as a student, stood up and saluted Liu Xian.

Zheng Xuan looked at Liu Xian with a strange look in his eyes, and he felt that Liu Xian's age really didn't match what he said. It was hard for him to imagine that Liu Xian would have such a set of ideas about how to govern the locality. That sounds like a real thing.

But what Liu Xian said, as Liu Xian himself said, if you want to do it, there will definitely be many difficulties in the process.

What is really difficult, Liu Xian actually didn't say.

For example, the people cultivate, this does not mean that they will be cultivated, then they must have fields. What is the cultivation of land? Even the wasteland belongs to some powerful landlords, where do the people have the land to cultivate?

In addition, the tax on land rent will also be a difficult difficulty to solve.

Anyway, everything is a long way to go.
