When Liu Jing heard Huan Jie's suggestion to "forbid alcohol and save food", he couldn't help but show a strange look on his face. He was attending a banquet in Changsha today. Changsha officials and people, although it is said that "a polite meeting cannot be held without wine", he could hold such a banquet.
I don’t know how much food will be wasted at a reception for thousands of people.
Then he felt a lot of emotion in his heart. He had decided to ban gambling before, but now he also had to ban alcohol.
In the early stage, Liu Jing relied on Changleju and Zuixiangju to acquire tens of millions of money in just two or three years. This allowed him to develop with peace of mind, win over people's hearts, and cultivate power without worrying about insufficient funds.
Now, Liu Jing has turned from an entrepreneur to a entrepreneur, and Changleju and Zuixiangju have also completed their "missions." Especially Changleju, which has corrupted the folk customs, will naturally be abandoned by him like worn out shoes.
Liu Jing opened his mouth and said: "In the past, Tang Yao was hit by nine years of floods, but people had ten years of savings, so they did not take any harm. This is how the sage king governed the country. Now in Changsha, there are constant natural and man-made disasters, and the people do not have a year's savings in their homes.
We should indeed follow Huan Jun’s advice and abstain from alcohol and save food in order to tide over the difficulties.”
At this point, Liu Jing paused for a moment and then said: "Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang are connected and have always been one. If alcohol is banned only in Changsha, there will be no chance. The people in Gui are greedy for the profit of wine and wine, taking rice to make wine and selling it.
Changsha, this will lose the original intention of prohibiting alcohol. It is better to issue an alcohol ban in all three counties to completely eliminate hidden dangers."
Huan Jie nodded. Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang are now all obeying Liu Jing's orders. The three counties must keep in step.
The two then discussed the extent of prohibition on alcohol. There has always been a tradition of prohibition on alcohol in the Han Dynasty. Usually when there were natural disasters or man-made disasters and food shortages, the court would issue a ban on alcohol. When the food harvest was good, the ban on alcohol would also be lifted.
Based on the experience of their predecessors, the two formulated extremely strict punishment measures: those who have wine in their homes and three or more people drinking in groups without any reason will be punished with a "ten thousand yuan fine"; those who dare to brew wine privately will be directly sentenced to death.
.
After discussing the terms of the prohibition on alcohol, Huan Jie saw that it was already getting late and told Liu Jing the last thing on his mind: "At the beginning of the year, the prince recommended that Lingling and Gonggong be in charge of Ling and Gui.
You died in a hurry, and Linxiang was besieged by the Northern Army at that time, so we were unable to send anyone to Xudu to ask for instructions."
Liu Jing couldn't help but exclaimed, Zhang Xian was too perfunctory. Regardless of whether Xu Du's court agreed or not, he should send someone to inform him. To be honest, he was the only one who had the reputation and strength to be a short-term person.
It would be impossible for anyone else to claim Lingling and even the three counties of Jingnan in name. Just like Huan Yi, if it weren't for Liu Jing, there would be no chance for him to take over Guiyang.
Huan Jie said again: "Currently Cao Gong and Yuan Benchu are fighting in Guandu. Since ancient times, they have done things without righteousness, and there is no invincible one. Therefore, Qi Huan Gong led the princes to respect the Zhou Emperor, and Jin Wen Gong chased his uncle to accept King Zhou Xiang.
But now Yuan Benchu did the opposite, and Liu Jingsheng, as a member of the clan, instead formed an alliance with him to fight against the country. Both of them brought their own disaster, and their defeat was not far away.
The Miao descendants of Lingling Gaozu had the country at heart, followed the people's will, rose up for justice, and destroyed the outside army, as well as Jingnan. The "Book of Songs" says: "Daqi Eryu was the assistant of the Zhou Dynasty." Lingling's contribution to the country
, although Dou Rong protects Hexi, why should he pass it by? At this time, it is appropriate to send an envoy to Xudu to show his loyalty and win the name of righteousness..."
Liu Jing was not surprised by Huan Jie's suggestion. He had previously advised Zhang Xian to send an envoy to Xudu. However, historically speaking, Huan Jie was not a Han official. He had won the trust of Cao Cao and Cao Pi. Cao Pi even
He also said that he would entrust his son to him. So when I heard his words, I couldn't help but feel the contrast.
Liu Jingdao: "Huan Jun and my chief reporter Liu Wenlang have the same views. Last night Liu Wenlang suggested that I should serve in Xudu as soon as possible and ask myself to be the envoy. I have agreed to his request and will wait until the situation in Changsha eases.
, let him set off for Xudu."
"I see." Huan Jie smiled and said, "Liu Wenlang is a rare scholar from the Central Plains. Although I have not had much contact with him, I know that he has extraordinary talents. It is only because I do not care about fame and fortune that he is not well known. Only
Lingling was able to invite him out of the mountain with the help of many years of personal friendship."
Liu Jingjing nodded and said: "Wenlang is clear and organized. He is general in general and has a deep understanding of political issues. He has been of great help to me since I became an official."
The two chatted for a while, then Huan Jie stood up and left, and Liu Jing also returned to the prefect's house.
Liu Jing had served as Zhang Xian's chief clerk before. As a subordinate, he often went in and out of the prefect's compound, so he was quite familiar with the situation.
Changsha county officials had already prepared for Liu Jing's arrival. It turned out that all the utensils used by Han Xuan had been replaced, so that they would not be taboo. The only thing left behind was Han Xuan's personal collection of books.
Han Xuan was born into a wealthy family in Nanyang, and his collection of books was extremely rich, but most of them were classics. Liu Jing had little interest in them, so he found a miscellaneous book and read it for a while before falling asleep.
As the saying goes: "If wealth does not return to its hometown, it will be like walking in brocade at night." Early the next morning, Liu Jing led Liu Xiu, Liu Liang and more than 20 people from his clan to return to Longqiu with three animals to worship the Liu family's ancestral grave.
Most of the Liu clan members in Longqiu have gone south to join Liu Jing, but many people still choose to stay in their hometown, especially the elderly, so the ancestral graves are always taken care of.
After the death of Liu Yong, Liu Pan and his son, although Liu Jing had not yet become the clan leader, he was regarded as the clan leader, including the elders who stayed behind.
Liu Jing did not give in, and led a group of tribesmen into the ancestral hall to hold a complicated tomb sacrifice ceremony. In the two years before Liu Jing traveled back in time, he had participated in the ancestor worship activities of the tribe, so he was very familiar with the process, and there were elders from the tribe there.
With help from others, it was finally completed successfully without any danger.
Liu Jing came out of the ancestral hall and went to the Liu family's ancestral grave on the mountainside to sweep the graves of his great-grandfather, grandfather, father, brother and others. Finally, he came to Liu Pan's grave.
When Liu Pan died of illness, he could only be temporarily buried in Linxiang City. Later, Linxiang was occupied by the Northern Army. After the situation stabilized, Huan Jie secretly had people remove Liu Pan's bones and move them to the Liu family's ancestral grave so that his friend could rest in peace.
Huan Jie asked Liu Pan to build a tombstone for Liu Pan, which was engraved with Liu Pan's life story. The font was square and majestic: "Jun Tao Pan, whose courtesy name is Yuanlong, is a native of Linxiang, Changsha. You are magnanimous, Huang Zhongli, and knowledgeable in natural history."
.For the five officials of the county, he assigned to the government and made changes, promoted moral education, and achieved peace even if he traveled thousands of miles. He established Situ Gong’s Mansion..."
Liu Jing caressed the rough tombstone in his hand, which had Liu Pan's life stories written on it. His eyes were warm, but he never shed tears. In his previous life, he was an orphan. He grew up in loneliness and tasted all the warmth and coldness of the world. When he was a child,
I have cried all my tears for a lifetime.
After returning from ancestor worship, Liu Jing returned to the county government, took a short rest, and then summoned Kuai Qi.
