Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 239, Fan Xian! Judging others by one's own standards, Danzhou Planning Map
Liu Hong was gentle and raised his hand.

"Please take a seat, everyone! I am very happy that you have the honor to come to my son's party."

Hearing the greetings, the officials breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile.

They don't care about the banquet dishes at all.

All we need is Liu Hong's attitude.

They came, so their official positions were kept. If they work harder, they might be able to get promoted.

"Liu Fei, what do you think of this situation?"

Liu Hong touched the little head of his eldest son.

Liu Fei raised his head and thought for a while. Under the influence of Liu Hong's ears and eyes in these days, his voice became unusually firm.

"A man should be like this!"

"Hahaha, you're ambitious."

Liu Hong burst into laughter, picked up Liu Fei and sat in the main seat.

As far as the eye can see, there is only the humble appearance of this group of people.

However, Li Chengru and Fan Xian couldn't help but twitch their faces when they saw Liu Fei looking at the position of Grand Commander with curiosity.

Given Liu Hong's attitude of favoring his concubine and ignoring his wife, will he also depose the legitimate son and establish the eldest son as the heir?
This is the way to self-destruction! With Liu Hong's temperament, he should know this.

Li Chengru wanted to give him some advice, but then he remembered that he was about to leave.

In his instructions to himself, Emperor Qing almost denounced Liu Hong as a traitor.

He fell silent again.

Li Chengru was a very indifferent and sentimental person, and the King of Jiaodong was dispensable to him.

But his father had given the order, so he had to obey!
Even if it means going on the opposite path from former comrades-in-arms.

"Originally, this banquet was just a party for my eldest son to recognize his ancestors, but when I think of the people of Danzhou who suffered an unprovoked disaster for no reason, I feel guilty."

"Therefore, at this banquet, I hope you gentlemen can lend a hand and help the people of Danzhou."

Speaking of this, I am deeply moved.

Liu Hong couldn't help wiping away tears.

So shameless!
The officials headed by Fan Xian couldn't help but curse under their breath.

How many people are there in Danzhou? It's just a remote place. Wouldn't it be enough to transfer half of the treasury silver from Dongshan Road?

Liu Hong clearly wanted to accept bribes and enrich himself.

But no one dared to expose it!

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and all the officials were calculating how much to give.

"I don't have enough silver to help the disaster victims in Jiangbei this time. Please support me with 2,000 taels from the people of Danzhou."

Fan Xian coughed, breaking the dull atmosphere.

He was one of the most distinguished guests at the banquet, had money in his hands to help the disaster victims in Jiangbei, and was also the Director of the Internal Treasury and the son of the Minister of Revenue.

Giving only two thousand silvers can be said to be quite disrespectful to Liu Hong.

When Fatty Lu heard this, he was furious. He slammed the table and was about to say something.

Zhang Liang covered Fatty Lu’s mouth with his hand.

After hesitating for a long time, Fatty Lu realized that Zhang Liang didn't want him to speak, so he had no choice but to remain silent.

Zhang Liang felt a little disgusted, so he called a maid to bring warm water and washed his hands.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Hong, waiting to see whether the Grand Commander of Anton would get furious or put on a forced smile.

The results were none of them.

Liu Hong looked at Fan Xian, with only disappointment in his eyes.

Fan Xian looked at Liu Hong with a firm gaze, and he did not back down at all.

As the saying goes, people with different ideals cannot work together! Liu Hong wanted to rebel, but Fan Xian thought that the current Qing Kingdom was fine, and it could survive for another two hundred years after some repairs, so why rebel?

This is the biggest difference!

Therefore, Fan Xian did not hesitate to give only two thousand silver pieces, almost humiliating Liu Hong, the Grand Commander of Andong.

In Fan Xian's eyes, why give so much, to aid the enemy?
Every ounce of silver will be the source of future unrest in the Kingdom of Qing.

Finally, Liu Hong slowly withdrew his gaze and spoke expressionlessly, no longer giving Fan Xian any face. "Perhaps you all have objections to the whereabouts of this money. I can ask Xiao He to post a notice to explain the origins of every copper coin."

"My parents died when I was a child. Before I was adopted by the Lu family, I survived for several months on steamed buns and porridge given by my neighbors in Danzhou."

"I will always remember this kindness! After my adoptive parents went to sea and disappeared, I took young Lu Ci with me, and it was the people of Danzhou who provided me with food."

"This governor admits that I have selfish motives! But this is for the people of Danzhou. I am not an ungrateful person."

"Do you think exempting taxes for three years and providing subsidies is enough? I think this is not enough. I want to build a magnificent Danzhou City and Danzhou Port."

"I want the people of Danzhou to not have to worry about their loved ones going out to sea and lose sleep day and night!"

Liu Hong's voice was not loud, but it was deafening.

This group of officials who judged others by their own standards were made to lower their heads in shame.

As the Grand Commander, Liu Hong wanted to make money, so a large number of merchants would voluntarily give him money in order to seek protection.

As for using this excuse to make money?
Liu Hong was not disappointed because Fan Xian stood against him.

Everyone has their own aspirations. Liu Hong wants to rebel and bring peace and order to the people of the world. At least the people will live happier than under the rule of Emperor Qing.

Since Fan Xian wants to help the Qing Kingdom, let him go. The truth will be revealed on the battlefield.

I am destined to be with you! Why should I fear the hostility of the scoundrels?

The torrent of historical progress will naturally overwhelm the powerful families and allow the common people to stand up.

But Liu Hong was disappointed that Fan Xian was actually afraid of further expansion of his power.

He even forgot the Danzhou city that raised him!
At first, the people of Danzhou affectionately called him Young Master Fan Xian and did not look down on him because of his status as an illegitimate child.

And now! The people of Danzhou, who were affected by the battle between the two great masters, were in tears all day long.

The house and property they had accumulated throughout their lives were destroyed in an instant.

Can't Fan Xian see it?

Just because they are already political enemies, do we have to oppose everything that the enemies support?

Liu Hong stood up slowly, and Xiao He respectfully presented the future Danzhou city planning drawings.

Danzhou is close to Dongyi City. If it wants to develop business and compete with Dongyi City now, it will definitely not end well.

But it is a port city after all, so all we need to do is expand the port, level the roads and modify its positioning.

Danzhou was used as a transit station and processing plant, similar to when Yiwu was just beginning to develop in later generations.

Responsible for food transportation, ship repair, assembling goods from the three major workshops in the inner warehouse, and forming a fleet for rational fishing.

Danzhou will be able to turn waste into treasure and become the economic center of Dongshan Road, providing huge tax support in just a few years.

The people of Danzhou no longer have to risk their lives by taking broken fishing boats and going out to sea to catch big fish.

The officials around looked at Liu Hong's design drawings and were confused at first.

After Xiao He's explanation, he suddenly understood and looked at the Governor of Andong with admiration.

Unexpectedly, Liu Hong not only had a great military exploit, but also had first-class political ability.

The prefect of Danzhou was so excited that he was shaking all over.

If this really happens.

Then Danzhou would no longer be a place of exile for officials who made mistakes, but a delicious bun comparable to Suzhou.

Liu Hong has always believed in one thing.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

If you give too many rewards, it will only stimulate people's laziness. If you don't reward them one day, they will feel resentment instead.

So Liu Hong painted a big picture, a big picture that was quite feasible.

This beautiful blueprint will give the people of Danzhou the same goal to strive for throughout their lives.

Liu Hong handed the plan he had made to the three princes.

Liu Hong didn't dare to guarantee that he had no selfish motives in what he did.

However, once the plan is implemented, the benefits to Danzhou, Dongshan Road and Qing State will be obvious.

The three princes fell silent. Li Chengru was somewhat tempted, but finally shook his head.
