I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 268 The real intention of Li Ran's recommendation

Li Ran once again persuaded the King of Chu by telling stories, so that the King of Chu agreed to let Shen Wuyu, whom he had recommended, serve as the county Yin of Zhongli.

And the people present listened, and that's it, no one refuted it.

After all, for people like Wu Ju and Xie Ba, compared to the threat Li Ran posed to them, Shen Wuyu would not have a more substantive impact on them.

Therefore, since Li Ran insisted on recommending him, and even brought out their generation's hero, King Chu Wen, they also knew that they could only make fun of themselves in the end if they played tricks in front of Li Ran.

Moreover, although Li Ran "robbed" Zhongli county magistrate's job, but after all, it was far from the point where they wanted to blatantly quarrel with him.

Therefore, the king of Chu summoned Shen Wuyu step by step, and announced in public that he was appointed Yin of Zhongli County.

Shen Wuyu, who was originally a surrogate, suddenly became dumbfounded when he heard the appointment, and stared blankly at Li Ran, unable to recover for a while.

"Why don't you thank the king for your kindness?"

In the end, under Li Ran's reminder, Shen Wuyu hurriedly thanked King Jishou of Chu.

"Shen Wuyu, how important Zhongli is to the widow, so there is no need for the widow to say more?"

The King of Chu looked at him and said calmly.

Hearing the sound, Shen Wuyu hurriedly said:

"Sir, you must fulfill your mission, guard Zhongli for the king, and educate the people!"

As smart as Shen Wuyu, how could he not know what the king of Chu meant.

Zhongli was originally from another country, but now that it was defeated by Chu, the most important thing is to educate: make Zhongli people gradually change their customs, and gradually become a part of their Chu people.

"Well...you just need to understand what I mean. When you go to Zhongli, the first task is to make him submit to my Chu, and you must make him bathe in my king of Chu!"

"Go down and get ready, we will leave tomorrow!"

King Chu waved his hand to indicate that Shen Wuyu could step back.

But who knows that as soon as he finished speaking, Li Ran stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to do."

Hearing the sound, the King of Chu looked at him, then at Shen Wuyu, raised his hand in confusion, and motioned for Li Ran to speak directly.

Just listen to Li Ran said:
"I think that before Shen Wuyu goes to Zhongli to take up his post, there is still one thing that can be entrusted to him. Now that he is no longer a lowly Yu Yin, he should be able to share the worries of the king when he thinks about it."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present was startled, and cast very puzzled looks at Li Ran.

Is this the one that made a fuss again?
Could it be that Li Ran had other plans for recommending Shen Wuyu?

Even the King of Chu was a little baffled by Li Ran's actions, and he looked at Li Ran with a slight frown and said:
"What do you mean by this, sir?"

You tried every means to recommend Shen Wuyu, and you could even say that you were extremely poor at "presenting the facts" and "reasoning the truth", and finally got him the post of Yin in Zhongli County.But in the end he was not allowed to go to office?

What's the trouble with this?

At this time, the displeasure of the King of Chu was obvious. After all, Li Ran had said so much just now, and the King of Chu had listened to the persuasion.

But in the end, Li Ran actually came back to "go back on his word", isn't this playing him, the King of Chu, like a monkey?
"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry, let the minister speak slowly."

Li Ran, on the other hand, looked very calm, bowed without changing his face and said:
"Since Your Majesty intends to move the capital to Qianxi, but to build a new capital here, the project is complex and the affairs are bound to be complicated. Calculating the heights, calculating the heights, measuring the thickness, digging the ditches, materializing the earth, discussing the distance, measuring the time period, and calculating the time is useless. , Considering the use of materials, books and grains, and it is necessary to serve the people as servants. Such a huge project, the king has a lot of opportunities every day, how can he have time to personally manage it?"

"However, the construction of a new capital is the foundation of a country, so it must be investigated. Therefore, in my opinion, it is best to leave it to an upright doctor to take full responsibility."

At this point, the people present could hear what Li Ran meant.

Dare to say so much, did Li Ran become the supervisor of the construction of the new capital again? !

But if Li Ran did this, wouldn't it seem like a big fuss?
Even if Shen Wuyu didn't have the identity of Yin of Zhongli County, it would be fine to recommend him as a supervisor, so why did Li Ran lay the groundwork so much?

The King of Chu frowned even more for a while, he always felt that there were other reasons for Li Ran's arrangement.

So he asked:
"Sir... don't you want Shen Wuyu to take charge of building the capital first as the Yin of Zhongli County?"

Li Ran nodded immediately upon hearing the sound and said:

"Your Majesty Yingming."

"My Zhou people built capitals, and they have always served the princes to accomplish things. Now Shen Wuyu is the county governor of Zhongli, and it is rare that he has both virtue and talent. He is upright and upright. He can relieve the king's worries. Please also learn from the king." (Zhou Wang Jiancheng, princes. effort)

On that day, Shen Wuyu angered the King of Chu and was ordered to be executed by the King of Chu. Fortunately, Li Ran came in time to save his life.At that time, Li Ran told Shen Wuyu that the burden of building a new capital would fall on him sooner or later.

Today, Li Ran kept his promise and brought up the matter logically. Shen Wuyu felt astonished for a moment, and then looked at Li Ran in a daze.

He didn't expect Li Ran to bring this matter up in front of King Chu, and in such a way.

You must know that before this, he was just a generation of sinners, not to mention presiding over such an important project, it is still unknown whether he will be appointed by the King of Chu in the future.

Now, with just a few words from Li Ran, his life is about to undergo earth-shaking changes!

Li Ran is really a god!
In this matter, he also sincerely admired Li Ran.

At this time, the King of Chu heard what Li Ran said, and immediately reacted.

After all, he is not a fool, so how could he not know what Li Ran's so-called "uprightness" means?
What kind of huge project is building a new building?Among them, the affairs are large and small, which can be described as innumerable.

Compared with the enfeoffment of the Central Plains and the national autocratic system like Chu State, corruption is a particularly prominent problem.For this point, Chu Wang himself is well aware.

Therefore, in the construction of a new capital today, if a powerful person who is already obsessed with interests is allowed to preside over the construction, the harm can be imagined.

The reason why Li Ran recommended Shen Wuyu is obviously to prevent corruption as much as possible in the construction of the capital, and to prevent officials from all walks of life from having the opportunity to use extra power to serve the people. Consider the overall interests of Chu State!

Thinking of this, King Chu immediately understood Li Ran's kindness.

Building a new capital is a drudgery that wastes people's money and money. If corruption is rampant and causes public grievances, there will be civil strife in Chu State.

"What you said is very true, what you said is very true!"

"Shen Wuyu, since this is the case, I will entrust you with the heavy burden of building the new capital, and order you to complete the project within three months. Do you dare to accept it?"

It was rare to see Li Ran put himself in his own shoes, King Chu was overjoyed for a moment, and immediately turned his gaze to Shen Wuyu.

Shen Wuyu was still immersed in Li Ran's divine operation at this time, but when he heard the appointment of the king of Chu suddenly, his mind was shaken for a moment, and he hurriedly bowed his head again.

"Chen Shen Wuyu, I will do my best to share the worries of the king!"

Nothing is more trustworthy than such an oath.

The touch and excitement in Shen Wuyu's heart flooded inexplicably for a while, so he could only answer the king of Chu with the most direct oath.
