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

Chapter 240, Revolution and Reform? I, Liu Hong, will never be the Emperor of Qing!
Fan Xian's face was filled with shame and pain, but his eyes remained firm.

Li Hongcheng remained silent, not saying a word, his silent words expressing his resistance.

With clear planning and positioning, the three knew that the feasibility was quite high.

Even if the ultimate goal cannot be achieved, it can greatly improve the living standards of Danzhou people.

But these three people still chose to oppose.

There is no other reason.

It is because this is the plan proposed by Liu Hong, once the new Danzhou is built.

In the eyes of the world, Liu Hong is a great commander who is both civil and military, generous and kind, without any flaws.

In the face of the huge chain of interests, the aristocratic families could only complain that Liu Hong was too ruthless, and then followed Liu Hong happily, eating the delicious food and drinking the spicy drinks.

The butt determines the head!

Even though these three were outstanding and far-sighted people among the royal family, they still chose to oppose.

In their opinion, it was enough for Liu Hong to improve his reputation once.

Even if his reputation increases further, I am afraid that in the three routes of Andong, Emperor Qing’s imperial edicts will not be as effective as Liu Hong’s.

Especially Fan Xian, the time traveler, he knew what Liu Hong wanted to do and admired Liu Hong's feat very much.

Liu Hong wanted to lead the poor and the bourgeoisie to revolt again and change the power structure of the world.

As a member of an aristocratic family and the illegitimate son of Emperor Qing, Fan Xian is a natural ruler. How could he allow others to take his life!
Fan Xian's mood gradually stabilized and his eyes became firm.

Is a revolution with countless bloodshed better than reform?
Only a madman would choose a revolution with no way out. If the reform fails, the worst that can happen is that the official will be dismissed from office and stay at home.

A revolution will kill a lot of people!
Liu Hong fell silent and slowly took back his plan from the three people, obviously understanding their thoughts.

"As the Grand Commander of Andong, I announce this to the officials of the three routes of Andong today!"

"Establish three battalions for the governor, Danzhou, Wuzhou, and Suzhou! The three battalions are directly under the jurisdiction of this governor, and local officials can report directly to me."

The three of them were startled.

Emperor Qing arranged two kings and one marquis to throw sand in Liu Hong's heart.

After failing to get the support of the three people, Liu Hong chose the most resolute response.

Danzhou was used to receive news from Northern Qi and Dongyi City and to form a secret alliance.

Wuzhou in Jiangbei Road, Lin Ruofu's hometown, would probably be transformed by Liu Hong into the headquarters of the Grand Commander, taking over all the troops to control the north and unify the south.

Suzhou in Jiangnan Road, a major tax-collecting city, will provide Liu Hong with a steady supply of silver and grain.

Under Liu Hong's plan, these three places were clearly positioned and could easily infiltrate the three military and political powers.

At this time, the three of them finally felt the changes in Liu Hong like Emperor Qing.

Ever since Liu Hong became the governor of Kyoto, there has been a lack of strategies such as alliances and conspiracies.

It has a more majestic and upright feel.

I'm going to do this! If you don't agree, you can stop me, I don't care!

For a moment, the three of them felt that the situation was quite troublesome. They looked at each other and tried to find a solution.

The banquet ended hastily not long after it started.

On the one hand, these officials have been away from their places of government for a long time, which can easily lead to unexpected events.

On the one hand, the people of Danzhou were displaced, the rich were living in luxury, and some were freezing to death on the roads. Liu Hong really couldn't do it.

The old brothers of the Danzhou bandits returned to their hometown rich and prosperous, and after enjoying themselves for a while, they also had to leave.

There is only Han Xin left in Qianlong Bay now, and Fatty Lu has to go and look after the eldest princess of Northern Qi to avoid any trouble.

Even now, Liu Hong no longer cares about the exposure of the Grand Princess of Northern Qi.

Gousheng also has to return to Black Wind Ridge in Northern Qi. He is the information transit point for Yang Du and Guo Baokun in Shangjing. It is quite difficult for him to spare so much time.

The other old bandit brothers also hold important positions and cannot be kept for long.

At the same time, Liu Hong also had to set off. He was the Grand Commander of Andong, and always stayed in Danzhou, so his influence could never cover the entire three routes of Andong.

Under the Jiaozhou navy’s ship.

Liu Hong held Xiao He's hand tightly with a sincere look.

"Xiao He, I know you have the talent to govern a country. Leaving you in Danzhou City is a waste of talent, but I beg you to repair Danzhou City and Danzhou Port. This will save countless lives!"

At the port, the wind and waves were strong, and the roar of the tsunami was even louder. However, Liu Hong's voice was clearly heard by Xiao He.

Xiao He couldn't hold back his doubts for days and couldn't help but speak.

"Sir, you are dissatisfied with Qing and even want to raise an army to attack Qing. Why do you still want to do things that are beneficial to Qing's national strength? After all, Danzhou belongs to Qing."

The close associates around him all looked at Liu Hong with puzzled expressions.

Logically speaking, Liu Hong, as the Grand Commander of Andong, had rebellious intentions.

He should have plundered money like crazy, held on to military power tightly, suppressed injustice, and caused public resentment in the three routes of Andong.

This is what a reaction should do!
And now isn’t it time to extend the life of Qing Kingdom?
Liu Hong glanced at his confidant and spoke slowly.

"You have been hiding this in your hearts for a long time. I am clearly rebelling, but I am constantly extending the life of the Qing Kingdom!"

The noble families who had seized the land in Kyoto were massacred, the 50,000 craftsmen from the Hanging Temple were released, and now a new Danzhou city is being built.

To be honest, these are not things that a rebel should do.

"I have always rebelled so that the people of the world can live a better life and have more dignity."

"Now that I hold great power, if I don't use it to do what I want, and instead get corrupted by the secular world and bully the people, then what's the difference between me, Emperor Qing, and those powerful people?"

Xiao He was moved, but he couldn't help but give him some advice.

"But sir, these can wait until you have the greatest power in the future."

Liu Hong smiled and shook his head, then spoke softly.

"Ever since I saw the craftsmen of the Hanging Temple, I have been having nightmares. I dreamed that one day I would become a person like Emperor Qing, playing power games and ignoring the people's livelihood."

"I completely forgot my original intention! Only then did I understand the true meaning of "Do not refrain from doing good deeds even if they are small, and do not commit evil deeds even if they are small."

“It’s all about keeping your heart!”

"If I really have the destiny, no matter how difficult it is, I will definitely be able to conquer the world."

"If I don't have a destiny, at least I have benefited the people, right?"

These words are the most true, sincere and kind.

Xiao He was already crying uncontrollably. He thought it would be great if the county magistrate of his hometown could be like Liu Hong.

He knelt on the ground and performed the ritual of three kowtows and nine bows, the sound of which echoed among the waves.

"I, Xiao He, swear to follow you till death, even if I have to be cut into pieces!"

"Don't worry, sir. Even if it costs me my life, the new Danzhou City will be built."

A broad and powerful hand pulled Xiao He up.

"You have to live! You can benefit all the people in the world. Just Danzhou City cannot reflect your talent at all."

Xiao He wiped his tears and nodded quickly.

Accompanied by the officials from Danzhou, they watched Liu Hong board the ship.

Decades ago, Ye Qingmei, an idealist who relied on the upper class, came into the world with the ridiculous idea of ​​realizing equality for all through imperial power.

She failed!

Several decades later, another time traveler came to this world, settled down in a humble family, and lived in the port of Danzhou which relied on commercial supplies.

Different from Ye Qingmei, a pure idealist.

Liu Hong learned his lesson and became better at hiding himself.

Closely attached to reality, only in the heart does it occasionally release the light of ideal.

Liu Hong looked at Danzhou which was getting farther and farther away with a sense of loss.

After this farewell, he will probably rarely return to Danzhou.

Since some time ago, the Danzhou port has been filled with ragged people.

Looking at Liu Hong's departing figure, he knelt down and spoke with gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

"Good trip, Grand Commander!"

Liu Hong felt a sudden pain in his nose and quickly turned his head to the side, unable to help but speak.

"Why is there sand in this sea breeze?"
