If we insist on praising Hunan's development achievements, it will inevitably be suspected of boasting. After all, Hunan's foundation is there. Compared with most Daozhou in China, the foundation is very weak.
The so-called Huguang refers to the vast area around Dongting Lake in Han Dynasty. In terms of economic development and production output, Hubei's weight is obviously much heavier. Of course, Hunan's contribution is not small, especially the Dongting Lake plain and the area along the Xiangjiang River.
.
The so-called development and revitalization of Jinghu South Road is actually limited to the northeastern region of Hunan, basically dominated by Changsha Prefecture, which has also caused serious imbalance in Hunan's economic development.
Although Changsha Prefecture is densely populated, economically developed, and culturally diverse, most other prefectures and counties are actually still in a barren, backward, and closed state.
In the central part, only Hengzhou can barely see it. As for western Hunan and southern Hunan, there is progress, but it is not necessarily how big it is. In fact, most Hunan prefectures and counties are only in a peaceful era. In addition to the relatively stable social environment,
The livelihood and work conditions of the common people have not fundamentally changed compared to forty or even a hundred years ago.
Even so, most of the annual tax revenue from Jinghu South Road is used in Changsha Prefecture and its surroundings, working together to incubate a prosperous Changsha.
In Jinghu South Road, it is also known as "one province, one prefecture". Hunan is of course composed of twelve prefectures, but in the impression of people from outside Daozhou, when it comes to Hunan, it must be Changsha. After decades of development,
Changsha Mansion has become a business card of Jinghu South Road.
The reputation is supported by strength. In fact, in Jinghu South Road, Changsha Prefecture can single out other states and counties in all aspects. Within Hunan, Changsha Prefecture is also an extremely special place, and knowledgeable people
Everyone yearns for it, and even those who have no knowledge know that this is a good place, even the best place in the world.
The officials all want to be transferred to Changsha Prefecture, and the soldiers all look forward to taking turns to garrison Changsha City. The best schools and colleges in Hunan, the best talents, the most beautiful scenery, and the most high-end restaurants are all in Changsha. Businessmen
, I accumulated some financial resources, so I thought about opening a store in Changsha, otherwise it would never be possible. No matter how rich I was, I would just be a "country bumpkin" from a small place, which quite meant that I was not a hero in Changsha.
The current chief envoy Guo Xin once expressed this emotion: "I came to Hunan not to be the chief envoy, but to be the prefect of Changsha."
Although it is a bit exaggerated, it also tells the truest side of Jinghu South Road. After learning that the Holy Emperor was visiting Nanxing, Guo Xin led the main officials of the Taoist government to the entrance of Dongting Lake to greet him a few days in advance.
Guo Xin was also specially called by the old emperor to speak on the boat. This was the only case in the entire Jinghu South Road. He was certainly qualified. Concubine Guo Ning's second brother could not be called her second uncle.
During the conversation, it was natural to inevitably talk about Hunan's political and people's livelihood issues. Guo Xin's original feelings were also raised by the old emperor in a joking tone.
The old emperor made jokes, but Guo Xin did not feel relaxed at all. Not only did the Jiangling incident spread throughout the Han Dynasty, its impact on the south was already fermenting, and Hunan, as a close neighbor, was even more shocked.
Therefore, people on Jinghu South Road, from Guo Xin on down, are vigilant and prepared for the arrival of the old emperor. From the bottom of their hearts, they hope that the old emperor will change his route elsewhere. Compared with the uncertain reception and the risk of losing his head,
If you don't risk it, don't risk it.
Frankly speaking, the situation on Jinghu South Road is not much better than that in Hubei, and even the evil in Changsha is more serious. Rapid development has always been accompanied by countless troubles and contradictions. In order to maintain efficiency, we must also take into account fairness.
, the two themselves are in conflict.
The bureaucrats here in Hunan Province really don’t have much confidence. In view of the turmoil in Jiangling’s officialdom, before welcoming the arrival, the Chief Secretary’s Yamen issued an order, leading the officials at all levels to conduct a top-down campaign against their subordinates.
We have worked hard on rectification, especially in terms of public security.
The commotion was quite loud, and many people were arrested. Those who were running boats, running horses, escorting escorts, and even the green forest gathering in one place had their tails between their legs. In fact, it was just a way for the powerful people in Changsha to wipe their ass.
The effect of this behavior remains to be tested. When the old emperor is on patrol, he can probably only pray silently that the shit in his crotch will not leak out.
Guo Xin had always been in awe, or even fearful of the old emperor. In front of him, he behaved like a cat, not even daring to prick a hair.
Hearing the old emperor's ridicule, Guo Xin responded with sincerity and fear: "I am the one who made such a big mistake with my arrogance. I am really ashamed to make His Majesty laugh!"
Seeing his reaction, the old emperor couldn't help but laugh: "Wild words? Where do you come from? In my opinion, this is a big truth!"
Looking at the old emperor carefully and noticing the playful look in his eyes, Guo Xinxin gave a shudder, stood up and bowed nervously: "Your Majesty, Meng Lang, is invisible and has lost his decency. Please punish me!"
After examining Guo Xin for a while, he was forced to kneel down on his knees, and then he said leisurely: "Tell me, do you want to be the envoy to Hunan Province or the prefect of Changsha Prefecture?"
This question was really too serious. At this time, Guo Xin was convinced that the old emperor was indeed angry at his original words. At the same time, he cursed secretly in his heart, wondering who the villain was, who brought the emperor here.
Of course, under the cold gaze of the old emperor, Guo Xin just apologized and bowed: "I am a fool who is ignorant and does not know what to say. Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
The old emperor was still smiling, but he leaned forward a little and asked: "Why are you so nervous? Am I the one who accuses you of your words? Get up, sit down, I'm just discussing this issue with you!"
"
At this time, Guo Xin's heart was almost completely covered by the shadow. He didn't even dare to speak. He looked completely confused. He had to force the old emperor to get angry before he dared to stand up and speak "normally".
However, with his butt square on the ground, he heard the old emperor ask strangely: "I also heard that among the people of Hunan Province, it should be spread not only among the people, but also among the government.
Talking about the huge Jinghu South Road, Changsha Mansion and a bunch of poor relatives are living their lives. Without the drag of poor relatives, the development of Changsha Mansion will be better, right?"
"Sit down!" Seeing that Guo Xin couldn't help but get up, the old emperor immediately scolded.
Seeing this, Guo Xin was on pins and needles, and said in an uneasy mood: "Your Majesty, I will allow you to explain that these rumors are really caused by some mediocre people who are short-sighted and talking nonsense. As for those who do not understand the general situation under your rule, I will certainly strengthen them."
In terms of admonishment and punishment, I have always treated Hunan Daozhou equally."
Guo Xin explained in a panic, and the old emperor couldn't stop laughing when he heard it. For the first time, anger appeared in his eyes. He patted the table and scolded: "Shut up!"
After being frightened, Guo Xin knelt on the ground again. This time the old emperor did not stop him. He pondered for a while and said in a questioning tone: "It has been more than three years since you took office in Jinghu South Road. It has been such a long time."
, have you ever left Changsha Prefecture, have you ever set foot in the prefectures and counties outside Changsha Prefecture, have you ever cared about and sympathized with other people?
Ask yourself, is this chief envoy incompetent for his job? Why, he is too old to move his legs or walk?"
How could Guo Xin have imagined that the first thing he did when he arrived was to face such a storm of accusations from the old emperor, and his old face completely collapsed, feeling extremely bitter?
