Chapter 1050

Either because of too many things, or because of too much knowledge, Liu Xie is immune to celebrities, especially literati, and has no interest in chatting with them, and often goes straight to the point.

Wang Can was first in Jingzhou, then went to Shangdang, and traveled to Bingzhou after Zhong Yao left office.That being the case, he didn't need to be too enthusiastic, making it seem like he had to.

He is thirsty for talents, but he is determined not to be a licking dog.

Wang Can was at a loss by Liu Xie's directness.

Qin Mi is from Yizhou, so it is understandable not to know who he is.It is impossible for the emperor not to know who he is, but he has no interest in soliciting him at all, and it is difficult for him to answer directly when he is asked why he is here.

I can't just say directly that I have received news from Song Zhong to relieve your majesty's worries.

This also... can't be said.

After receiving Song Zhong's news, he was supposed to support Song Zhong, but he mocked Song Zhong to show his favor to the emperor. Is this what a gentleman does?

Liu Xie waited for a while, but did not hear Wang Can's reply. When he looked up, he saw Wang Can's face, which was not ugly, but definitely not beautiful, flushed, and he understood immediately, and couldn't help sighing.

It's really hard to save face and suffer.

"What have you gained from traveling in Bingzhou for a long time?"

As if relieved, Wang Can quickly said: "I have gained a lot from this trip. At first, I saw Zhong Yao's administration in Shangdang, and I felt that there was a new atmosphere. Later, when I went to Taiyuan, Yanmen, and Xihe, I saw that Han and Hu were in harmony and the people lived in peace. It was an eye-opener. Of course, I was most surprised by Pei Qian. I never thought that he could manage Xihe Tieguan properly, and all the workers worked together to create such a sophisticated weapon..."

Wang can was eloquent and eloquent, exaggerating the achievements of Bingzhou.

After hearing this, Liu Xie wanted to laugh but didn't have the nerve to laugh.

Wang Can has a literary talent, and his talent is nothing to say.As for character, I feel sorry for my ancestors.As one of the seven sons of Jian'an, his collection of poems is full of nasty praise for Cao Cao and his son.

But he didn't intend to say anything.

Compared with those shameless literati in history, Wang Can's actions are not out of line, at most, his poems are a bit nasty.

Liu Xie waved his hand and interrupted Wang Can. "Zhongxuan is so excited, there must be poems?"

Wang Can quickly took out the prepared poetry collection and offered it with both hands.

Liu Xie reached out to take it, flipped through two pages, and nodded. "Good poem, let me read it carefully."

Wang Can was so excited that he cupped his hands and said, "I've heard that although Your Majesty doesn't often compose poems, he often recites them out of his mouth. It's a great honor for me to be able to get His Majesty to rectify."

"Have you heard my poems?"

"I heard from Pei Qian. In addition, when I wrote to Cai Yan, I also heard her mention it."

Liu Xie didn't say anything more, and then asked about the book that Cai Yong gave to Wang Can.

Those are rare classics, Cai Yan has always wanted to take them back, even if it is good to send someone to copy them.

Wang Can knew that the best shortcut for him to become an official now was the teacher-student relationship with Cai Yong, and he had already prepared for it.He has kept those books very well, and this time he also brought them to Nanyang.

After hearing this, Liu Xie took advantage of the opportunity to invite Wang Can to become an official. As a writer, his first task was to sort out Cai Yong's collection of books, select the most important ones, and print them in Nanyang Yinfang.

Wang Can was a little disappointed.

What he wants most is not to be a scholar, but to be a servant by the emperor's side, preferably a loose rider.

He heard from Pei Qian that what is most valued now is not Shangshu, Langguan and the like, but Sanqi.

It's just that Sanqi requires both civil and military skills, and he can't meet the requirements, so he can only ask for the second best, serving as the emperor's personal servant, handling documents and confidential documents.He has the talent of photographic memory, such a position is the most suitable.

But he didn't dare to refuse, Zuo Zuo Lang should be Zuo Lang, and he will be an official first.When this task is completed and the emperor is satisfied, he may be given a better chance.

Wang Can bowed and retreated.

Liu Xie saw Wang Can's disappointment, but didn't say anything.

He knew that Wang Can was not satisfied with Zuo Lang's position, but he never intended to satisfy Wang Can.

Why should I please you?

I think you are suitable for this.

-

When Wang Can went out, Qin Mi was still waiting outside, but his face had regained his composure.

The two met and went out to the Situ Mansion next door.

Qin Mi went to make plans, and Wang Can went to take up his post.

The author Lang returned to Taishitai, was in charge of Taichang, the head of Jiuqing, and was under the command of Situfu.

When Qin Mi asked, she realized that Wang Can had already been appointed as an official after seeing him.Although he is only a writer, it is also a rare grace for him, so he couldn't help asking a few more questions.

Wang Can spoke modestly, but his chest involuntarily puffed up, and he gave a general account of his situation.

It was only now that Qin Mi knew that this unattractive little man in front of him was actually a descendant of the famous ministers Wang Gong and Wang Chang, and that his own talent was even more extraordinary, and he was appreciated by the famous Confucian scholar Cai Yong at a young age, so he couldn't help laughing.

Really unbelievable.

After Wang Can finished talking about the meeting, he immediately asked about Qin Mi's meeting.

Qin Mi sighed and said something roughly.

Wang Can understood as soon as he heard it. "Ziyu is against Dutian, right?"

Qin Mi was a little embarrassed.

It seems that I really think I am smart, and I can't hide my little thoughts from others.

"I don't object to land saving, but I think that land saving is not universal. For example, there is not much land in those mountainous areas. There is not much difference between land saving and land saving. Forcing land saving will make local big households feel bad. The heart of resistance. If you send troops to conquer at that time, the mountains will be high and the road will be far away. It may not be possible to put down the rebellion in three to five years.

Wang Can thought for a while and said, "I don't agree with what Ziyan said."

Qin Mi didn't mind either. "Please correct me, Zhongxuan."

"I have never been to Yizhou, but I have been to Bingzhou and met many Xianbei, Huns and Qiang people. As you said, there is little land in the mountains, and there seems to be no difference whether to save the land. There is nothing outside the Great Wall. Cultivated land, whether it's grassland or desert, it doesn't make any difference whether you spend it or not. But..."

Wang Can paused for a moment, thoughtful. "If ordinary people cannot be kept alive, there will never be progress, and there will be no way to talk about enlightenment and civilization. Once foreign enemies invade, they will often be trapped internally and externally, and their families will be wiped out. You must know that facing thousands of enemies At this time, even if you have a strong city to defend, you won't last long without enough troops."

Qin Mi slowed down her pace, and pondered: "What Zhongxuan means is that the purpose of saving the land is for more household registration, so as to resist foreign enemies?"

Wang Can nodded. "That's what it means. Judging by your age, even if you haven't experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, you must have heard of it. If the aristocratic family is arrogant and lustful, and the people can't even get enough food and clothing, do you think the world will be safe? I'm afraid there will be no foreign enemies. Invasion, the world will be in chaos, civil upheavals, rebellions one after another. Even if the imperial court sends troops to conquer, it will only stop the boiling, and it will not cure the root cause."

His eyes flickered. "The imperial court spent countless money and food in order to suppress the Qiang chaos, and had five proposals to abandon Liang. But now, have you heard any news of the Qiang rebellion?"

"Is this all the work of saving the field?"

"Although I dare not say that it is all due to saving the land, it is obviously indispensable to save the land. Without saving the land, how can we feed and clothe the people?"

Chapter 1051 Seeing Chen Qun Again

As the sun was setting, Liu Xie got up and went to the hall to stretch his muscles and bones.

The emperor is not easy to do.

Even though he has transferred a lot of power, Situ and Sikong will handle a lot of specific government affairs, and they still have to meet many people and deal with many things every day.

Sitting down one day, back pain and leg cramps.

It's no wonder that diligent emperors will die young, and more people choose to be faint emperors.

This is really not a human job.

So he has a deep-rooted view that monopolizing power and arbitrariness may sound majestic, but in fact it is hard work and unrealistic.Whether it is for the health of individuals or the health of the regime, decentralization is necessary.

The crux of the problem is how to divide.

Liu Xie moved around for a while, called Sun Quan and others, and planned to visit Situ's mansion.

Qin Mi should have met Yang Biao, and he wanted to hear Yang Biao's opinion on how to solve the problem of land saving in the mountainous area.

Situ's Mansion is next door, so it's not troublesome, and it's just a short walk away.

Liu Xie often goes to Situ's Mansion, one is to establish a people-friendly personality, and the other is to perform the duties of a supervisor.

Being close to the people is to fight for the power to represent the people.How can a person who lives deep in the inner palace and rarely gets close to the people represent the people?

The supervisor is to urge all officials to work hard.Since you want power and I have given it to you, you should make good use of it for the benefit of the people instead of using it for personal gain.

In the final analysis, it is all about fighting for the right to speak and win the hearts of the people.

After entering Situ's mansion, Yang Biao was still busy, and a group of officials were sitting in the vestibule waiting for Situ to meet him.Seeing the emperor coming in, they all stood up and saluted, and looked at the young emperor with admiration.

Liu Xie nodded with a smile, and when he came to the atrium, he saw Yang Biao sitting in the hall, checking the accounts with a sweaty official.

Liu Xie didn't bother, he stood in the courtyard and looked at the scenery.

A young official rushed over, offered a cup of tea with both hands, saluted, and quietly retreated.

After a while, the officials who answered in the hall got up and went down the hall, and saw Liu Xie standing in the hall, stagnant.

Liu Xie glanced at it, feeling familiar, but couldn't remember who it was.While hesitating, the official came over and bowed to salute.

"Chen Qun, the planner of the Bohai Sea, has met His Majesty."

Liu Xie looked at Chen Qun, somewhat surprised. "When did you go to Bohai and become a planner?"

Planning is a chore, but it's also a beautiful job.Not only have the opportunity to meet Situ, but also have the opportunity to participate in the New Year ceremony and meet the emperor.If you can perform well, you may be selected as Lang.

Such opportunities are usually reserved for locals.

Although there are many migrants from other places in Bohai, Chen Qun, as a foreigner, is still a little unconventional as a planner.

What's more, Chen Qun is still charged with crimes, so he should be conquered overseas.

Chen Qun salutes again. "I went to Liaodong with General Zhengdong. Fortunately, I made some minor achievements. I was pardoned by His Majesty's grace, and now I live in Bohai Sea. Meng Zhang Fujun did not give up and was elected as a planner."

Liu Xie frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy.

When Xun You pacified Liaodong, there were hundreds of people in the military merit book, and it was impossible for him to read them one by one.Chen Qun actually mixed in and got a pardon. Naturally, someone was fishing in troubled waters.

Chen Qun said that he went out with Liu Bei, but he couldn't tell whether it was Xun You or Liu Bei who was behind it.

It should be said that it is possible.

Liu Xie didn't say much, nodded, and ended the conversation with Chen Qun.

Chen Qun left, his back hurried, as if fleeing.

Standing in the hall, Yang Biao watched Liu Xie talk to Chen Qun. After Chen Qun left, he stepped up the steps, came to Liu Xie, and bowed his hands.

"Your Majesty still remembers him?"

"Do you think I remember?" Liu Xie asked back.

"Aside from Yingchuan Chen's reputation, he is just an ordinary scholar." Yang Biao said with a smile, "It doesn't matter whether your Majesty remembers it or not."

"How did he become a strategist in Bohai Sea?"

"Because nobody wants to come."

Liu Xie couldn't help laughing. "Is Bohai's performance this year not good?"

"Not good. Not only bad, but something happened."

"What happened?"

"In July, there were pirates entering the country to plunder. Zhang Zhao sent troops from the county to conquer them. They won first and then lost. They were lured into the tidal flats by the pirates and lost more than 100 people."

"What happened in July?" Liu Xie thought about it carefully. He probably didn't receive any relevant reports, or even heard of them.

"The troops were dispatched in July, the ambush occurred in September, and they were rescued in early October. The casualties were not counted until the end of October."

Liu Xie nodded and said nothing more.

With such a long delay, the loss must have been ugly, and the loss was not reconciled.

Calculating the time, July should be shortly after the Jiangdong navy led by Sun Ce left the Bohai Sea.The pirates were suppressed by the navy before and did not dare to act rashly.As soon as the navy left, they took advantage of the Bohai Sea. How useless is Zhang Zhaode?

But even though Zhang Zhao was abolished, Xun Chen and Zhong Yao were both ruthless people, how could they be in such a mess?

Liu Xie went to the hall, took a seat with Yang Biao, and asked a few more questions.

Yang Biao was also a little speechless.

In his opinion, Zhang Zhao shouldn't be in such a mess.If the pirates were repelled, it would be a credit to accept it as soon as it was good.But Zhang Zhao wanted to catch them all in one go, so he forced the county soldiers to pursue him, but he was ambushed by pirates and suffered a complete defeat.

What a pity.

In the final analysis, he is still a scholarly spirit, not knowing the dangers of the battlefield.

In the past, it was they who came up with the idea, and others charged the battle, thinking that victory came easily.Now that they go into battle by themselves, they know that people will die on the battlefield, and they just have to come up with ideas.
