Yu Chuan is a clear-eyed person, and he can see that if the current development continues, Liu Xin will ascend to the throne sooner or later. And Yu Tuo is a good hand at handling government affairs, and he knows that in order to make the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River develop faster, the most lacking thing is people. In such a large place, it is far from enough for one million Xuzhou refugees to join it, and it is necessary to attract more people from other places to take the initiative to move to Jiangnan, which must publicize the benefits of Jiangnan. If Liu Xin personally gave a poem to Jiangnan, with Liu Xin's accession to the throne, this poem would definitely spread throughout the Han Dynasty, and when the time came, everyone would know that even Liu Xin, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, fell in love with the treasure land of Jiangnan, and naturally it would be able to attract people.

Others don't know how much ink he has in his stomach, but Liu Xin himself knows it very well. When he arrives in Jiangnan next year, if Yu Fan mentions this stubble again and asks him to compose poems, he will definitely not be able to compose them, and even if he improvises and steals the famous poems of his predecessors, the few poems in his memory may not be able to be used.

When Liu Xin was stunned, Fu Zhu had already stroked the long beard under his chin and said with a smile: "Back then, the lord improvised the "Burrow Inscription", and made the "Silent Night Poem" in five steps. Since then, I have rarely heard of the master's masterpieces, because the lord is busy with affairs, and he really can't squeeze out time to recite poems. ”

When Liu Xin heard this, he nodded secretly, but he still understood him and found a good reason for him. He will go to Jiangnan next year, and he can use the itinerary to hurriedly push away Yu Xuan's request.

But he listened to the frustration and said: "If the lord arrives in Jiangnan, he can write a poem, and his subordinates will have the opportunity to feast their ears, which is really a great joy in life." ”

Liu Xin's face was full of depression, and then he remembered that Fu Zhu was not only his adviser and spy leader, but also a literati like Yu Tuo. is a literati, so naturally it is indispensable to find someone to talk about poetry and fu. It's still good for Mi Zhu, Mi Zhu is a businessman, he only talks about business, where will he discuss what poetry.

Seeing that Liu Xin's face was cloudy, Yu turned over and said, "Isn't there anything difficult about the lord?" ”

In fact, Yu Fu proposed to let Liu Xin write a poem when he went to Jiangnan, because he didn't believe that there were all-round people in the world. He has also heard some rumors about Liu Xin, there are literary talents, there are martial arts, but he has never heard of how many generals Liu Xin has killed on the battlefield, except for a few works, in the next six or seven years, he has never heard of any works by Liu Xin.

If it was in the past, Yu Quan would be regarded as someone else's praise of Liu Xin, but now it is different. Liu Xin trusts him so much, he wants to give everything he has to repay Liu Xin, and a person who makes him suspicious is not worthy of him to do this. He had seen Liu Xin's strong physique with his own eyes just now, but he didn't believe that Liu Xin's writing was really outstanding.

Although Liu Xin didn't know what Yu Fu was thinking in his heart, he must not show his cowardice in front of his subordinates, he couldn't help frowning, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, he waved his hand, and said, "That's not it." Liu has been to that place in the south of the Yangtze River a few times, and now that he recalls it, it is really a great scenery. ”

Yu was surprised: "It turns out that the lord has been to Jiangnan? It's a pity that his subordinates didn't have a relationship with the lord at that time, otherwise he could have listened to the lord's teachings earlier. ”

Liu Xin said with a smile: "That was many years ago, Liu used to play in the Jiangnan area for many days. However, next spring, Liu went to Jiangnan not to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but to observe the people's feelings, and it seems inappropriate to write poems. It's better for Liu to be invited by Mr. today to compose a song to remember Jiangnan. ”

Hearing that Liu Xin was going to compose poetry now, Frustration and Yu Zhu pricked up their ears, and they didn't dare to come out, and even Mi Zhu, who rarely dabbled in poetry, widened his eyes.

"Jiangnan is good, and the scenery is old. The sunrise river flowers are red, and the spring river is as green as blue. Can you not remember Jiangnan? Liu Xin cleared his throat and sang softly.

Actually, this is not a poem, but a poem. However, Liu Xin didn't understand it, so he read it out as a poem, besides, he didn't have much goods in his stomach, this song "Remembering Jiangnan" happened to be remembered, and now that he read it, it was better to block Yu's mouth than to be blind when the time came. Fortunately, they couldn't hear it, although they felt that the rhythm was a little strange, but the artistic conception was very beautiful. There was silence for a moment, and I couldn't help but applaud again and again.

Liu Xin said cheekily: "The improvisation made several gentlemen laugh." Liu only hopes that in the future, Jiangnan can be unforgettable for people once they have been there, and they can always remember and think, so that they can come and go often, so that Jiangnan can flourish and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Since then, Yu has no doubts about Liu Xin, and this song "Remembering Jiangnan" expresses Liu Xin's good memories of Jiangnan, and the future emperors will never forget Jiangnan, isn't it the best advertisement? Yu Pan hurriedly got up and arched his hand and said: "The subordinates must live up to their mission, and they must present a brand new Jiangnan in front of the lord next spring!" ”

Liu Xin was amused in his heart, after coming to the end of the Han Dynasty, he really hadn't been to Jiangnan, no matter what Jiangnan became, it would definitely be brand new for him, or the old one would be more appropriate. He didn't know that Yu Fu had secretly made up his mind that there would be no rest during the Spring Festival this year, and he would mobilize the officials and the people to work hard for 100 days and make a career.

Seeing Mi Zhu and Yu bowing and retreating, he also became casual, walked to the chair opposite Liu Xin and sat down, and arched his hand and said: "Lord, please forgive your subordinates for saying bluntly, Mi Zhu is not a person who is proficient in government affairs, and the lord must not entrust him with important tasks." ”

Liu Xin smiled and said: "Gong and rest assured, what kind of person Mi Zhu is Liu Mou, he is not good at giving advice and handling government affairs." Liu planned to set up a business department under the household department to specialize in foreign trade, and it was most appropriate for Mi Zhu to be in charge of this matter. ”

Although Mi Zhu's several shops in Xiangyang City have average business, Liu Xin knows that it is because he is new to the city and is not familiar with the place, not because of his ability to do business. On the contrary, Liu Xin once looked through the accounts of these shops, and they were all clearly recorded, which shows Mi Zhu's talent in this regard.

There is another reason for Liu Xin's arrangement.

After hundreds of years of development in the Han Dynasty, the scholar family has actually controlled the entire society. On the surface, these noble families seem to be irrelevant to each other, and even fight with each other, but in fact they are a whole, because their interests are the same, and they are all in order to make this noble class the main body of society.

The power of the Shi clan has penetrated into all aspects of society, either openly or darkly, and has huge energy, even after the Jin and Tang Dynasties. In the process, some families gradually declined, but soon new ones rose up to take their place.

Broadly speaking, as long as you obtain an official position, you can be considered to have entered the noble class, but not all noble families can be called a family. To become a family, it often takes two or three generations or more. Like these civil and military people under Liu Xin, Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Guo Jia, including Yu Fu, can only be called the Shi family, as long as they are like the Cai family and the Kuai family in Jingzhou, and the Mi family in Xuzhou can be regarded as a real family, and those who have the ability to manipulate the overall situation of the world are the family members in the Shi class.

Of course, Liu Xin didn't want to see the country he had worked so hard to build, but in the end it was in the hands of the Shi family, and he would definitely suppress and divide the Shi family. However, Liu Xin did not want to rush it.

Historically, Cao Cao spared no effort to suppress the scholar family, and even said that it was a bloody suppression, killing many people and many families. This policy lasted until the end of Cao Wei's reign.

However, Cao Cao did not expect that the bureaucratic system under his command was based on the scholar system, and that if he killed a group of scholars and destroyed a number of families, a new group of scholars and families would emerge. As a result, Sima Yi's family adopted a completely opposite policy, they won the support of the scholar family, and finally usurped the Cao family.

A lesson from the past, a teacher from the back, Liu Xin will certainly not follow Cao Cao's old path. Therefore, Liu Xin set up the imperial examination system to compete with the scholar system. Liu Xin did not allow his civil and military forces and those big families to have private soldiers, seemingly to prevent them from rebelling, but in fact, it was also to gradually weaken their power.

However, Liu Xin couldn't force these scholar families too quickly. These noble families are sometimes like springs, if you press it, he may shrink back, but the harder you press, the more power he has accumulated, and when it erupts one day, it will give you a fatal blow.

Therefore, on the one hand, Liu Xin wanted to weaken the power of the scholar family, and on the other hand, he showed a posture of trying his best to win over these scholar families. However, Liu Xin didn't want to win over all the scholar families, and no one could make all the scholar families stand on his side. Like the Cai family, the Kuai family, and the Mi family, they were the targets he tried his best to woo, and the Chen family in Jingzhou and the Wei family in Hedong a few years ago were all the targets of his attack.

In this process, Liu Xin has both tenderness and an iron fist. He was resolute and thorough in attacking the Chen family and the Wei family, but he was extremely tolerant of the Cai family and the Kuai family. In this way, those scholar families can find out Liu Xin's true intentions.

Although the Mi family came to Xiangyang at the instigation of Zhang Liao and others, in the eyes of people who don't know the inside story, it was the Mi family who took the initiative to take refuge in Liu Xin, and Liu Xin naturally wanted to vigorously support the Mi family, but also to confuse those scholar families.

The Mi family moved to Jingzhou with thousands of dependents and servants, so many people naturally want to eat, if the Mi family's business can not improve, one day they will sit empty. Liu Xin appointed Mi Zhu to be in charge of foreign trade, although Mi Zhu is an upright person, and will never use his power to seek benefits for the Mi family, but he cannot prevent those businessmen with a keen sense of smell from taking the initiative to contact the Mi family's business, thus indirectly achieving the purpose of supporting the Mi family.

Of course, this reason is inconvenient to say to the frustrated professor. Because strictly speaking, Fu Zhi can also be counted as a member of the Shi clan, although he is very loyal, and he himself may not be aware of it, but this is the case, and Liu Xin has to deal with the entire Shi clan.

Fu Zhu is in charge of the Phantom Secret Spy, responsible for spying on all aspects of the news, and he also knows a lot about Mi Zhu's situation, and does not doubt him, and said with a smile: "The Lord knows how to make good use of people, and he is indeed a wise lord!" ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "Don't praise me first, let's talk about it, what is Liu Bei's movement?" ”

Fu Zhu took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Liu Xin, and said, "Everything can't be hidden from the lord, this is the news about Xuzhou just delivered." ”
