The Three Kingdoms of Farming and War began with the incorporation of the Baiyue

Jiangling City, Jingzhou.

King Liu Xie of Nanyang brought good news to the eldest prince Jin Lin.

"Third brother, your concubine has given birth to your fourth child." Liu Xie raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Have you decided on a name for him?"

Jin Lin understood that Liu Xie was referring to the Fourth Prince Jin Zhe, and wanted him to improvise on this topic.

If it was him before, he would have agreed without hesitation, but now Jin Lin has completely changed his mind.

He shook his head and said, "My eldest brother is getting more and more naughty as he gets older. How can I name my fourth son casually because of such a small matter?"

Liu Xie's smile widened upon hearing this, and a glimmer of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and he was obviously quite satisfied with Jin Lin's calm answer. He patted Jin Lin's shoulder and said earnestly, "Third brother, you are right. A name is a symbol of one's life, and it should not be taken lightly. Back then, you and I, our brothers, all had names carefully selected by our father, and they had profound meanings. Now, you have been a father for four years, and you have indeed made progress."

Jin Lin smiled slightly, feeling deeply moved. Time flies. Since the palace coup, although he and Liu Xie are both kings, their friendship has deepened. He knows that Liu Xie's move today is not only a test, but also a hope that he can put his country first and live up to the late emperor's high expectations.

“Don’t worry, brother. I will seriously consider the name Jin Zhe. He must not only inherit the virtues of our ancestors, but also imply that he will be able to shoulder great responsibilities in the future and lead our Han Dynasty to prosperity.” Jin Lin’s eyes were firm, and his tone revealed his unquestionable determination.

Liu Xie nodded in approval, his eyes sparkling with satisfaction. "Okay! Brothers, we will protect this land together and let the flag of the Han Dynasty fly forever over the nine provinces."

After saying that, the two smiled at each other, as if they were back in their youth, with their infinite vision and ambition for the future burning in their hearts again. In the city of Jiangling, Jingzhou, the spring breeze was warm, and the figures of the two brothers stretched out in the afterglow of the setting sun, a warm and hopeful picture frozen at this moment.

Then, Jin Lin turned and looked into the distance, where there were vast territories and unknown challenges. "Brother, although the situation has stabilized, there are powerful enemies outside and people's livelihood needs to be improved. I want to set off immediately to inspect the borders, strengthen the city defenses, and go deep into the people to understand their sentiments and ensure that the foundation of our Han Dynasty is stable." His voice was full of responsibility and urgency.

Liu Xie's expression was solemn but not without praise. "My brother has such a heart, which is a blessing for our Han Dynasty. You must be careful on this trip. You must show the majesty of our Han Dynasty, but also be compassionate, rule the army with benevolence, and pacify the people with wisdom. When you return, you and I will work together to make the Han Dynasty more prosperous."

After that, Liu Xie took an exquisite sword from the table and handed it to Jin Lin. "This sword is called 'Dragon Roar'. It has been with me for many years. I am giving it to you now. I hope it can help you overcome difficulties and protect the peace of our Han Dynasty."

Jin Lin took the sword with both hands. The light reflected from the sword shone on his resolute face. He bowed deeply and said, "Brother, I will remember your kindness in my heart. I will live up to your trust and return soon to share the glory."

As Jin Lin's figure gradually faded away, Liu Xie stood there, watching him go, feeling both reluctant and expectant. He knew that every farewell was for a better reunion, and every effort would add a solid foundation to the future of the Han Dynasty. And in this ancient and vibrant land, their story has just begun.

Liu Xie turned around and walked into the palace, each step seemed steady and powerful. He was thinking in his heart how to continue to implement reforms in this treacherous court, consolidate the imperial power, and make the prestige of the Han Dynasty resound throughout the world again. He knew that it was difficult to change the world by his own strength, and he had to recruit talents and work together.

Therefore, he summoned several respected old ministers and several young and promising newcomers to discuss state affairs in the imperial study. Under the bright lights, everyone expressed their opinions, from farming and water conservancy to border defense and armaments, from clean government to cultural prosperity, each topic was related to the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty. Liu Xie listened patiently, sometimes nodded in approval, sometimes raised questions, and the atmosphere was warm and serious.

During the discussion, he did not forget to mention Jin Lin, praising his loyalty and responsibility, and encouraged everyone present to take Jin Lin as an example, take responsibility and serve the country. This statement further inspired everyone's fighting spirit and loyalty, and they vowed to contribute their own strength to the revival of the Han Dynasty.

In the dead of night, Liu Xie strolled alone in the Imperial Garden, the moonlight was like water, sprinkled all over the path. He looked up at the starry sky, his heart surging with infinite longing for the future. He knew that the road ahead was long and difficult, but as long as there was light in his heart, there would be a way under his feet. And he, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, must set an example and lead everyone on this land to jointly write a glorious chapter belonging to the Han Dynasty.

From then on, Liu Xie was not only a monarch, but also a leader on the road to the revival of the Han Dynasty. His every decision and every action deeply affected the fate of this ancient land. And Jin Lin's departure was just a starting point in their long journey. More challenges and opportunities were waiting for them to explore and conquer.

He knew that governing a country is like governing a river, which requires a long-term flow of water to nourish all things. Therefore, Liu Xie began to implement a series of benevolent policies to reduce the burden on the people and encourage farming and business, so that the economy of the Han Dynasty gradually recovered and the faces of the people were filled with smiles again. At the same time, Liu Xie did not forget to strengthen national defense, rectify military discipline, select talented people to enrich the army, so that the border defense of the Han Dynasty was impregnable and foreign enemies did not dare to invade easily. He knew that the strength of a country lies not only in its internal prosperity, but also in its ability to resist external threats. Therefore, he sent envoys to all directions to establish friendly relations with neighboring countries, exchange what they have and what they need, and jointly maintain the tranquility of the border.

Liu Xie also spared no effort in the cultural field. He advocated Confucianism, established many schools, and encouraged scholars to write books, which made the cultural undertakings of the Han Dynasty flourish and produced many talents. He also personally participated in the compilation of history books, intending to pass on the glorious history and civilization of the Han Dynasty to future generations, so that future generations would remember this immortal legend.

Under his leadership, the Han Dynasty gradually transformed from a country with internal and external troubles to a prosperous and peaceful country. Liu Xie's name was therefore forever engraved on the monument of history and became a model for later emperors to learn from. The deep friendship between him and Jin Lin also became a good story passed down by word of mouth, inspiring countless people to work tirelessly for the prosperity of the country.

In addition, Liu Xie also paid attention to diplomacy, sending envoys to various countries to exchange culture and share what they have, which greatly expanded the influence of the Han Dynasty. He advocated peaceful coexistence, used culture as a bridge, promoted the integration and unity of surrounding ethnic groups, and enabled the territory of the Han Dynasty to expand steadily in peace. At the same time, he attached importance to the development of science and technology, encouraged craftsmen to innovate, and made significant progress in agriculture, handicrafts, military technology and other fields, laying a solid foundation for the country's sustainable development.

Under his governance, the society of the Han Dynasty was simple and honest, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and cultural prosperity and material abundance complemented each other, together drawing a vivid and harmonious social picture. Liu Xie was not only an outstanding monarch, but also a far-sighted thinker and educator. His ideas on governance and humanistic care still have a profound impact on future generations.

As Liu Xie's best friend and right-hand man, Jin Lin was also praised for his wisdom and loyalty. Their cooperation was not only reflected in mutual political support, but also in their common pursuit of an ideal society. With Liu Xie's support, Jin Lin implemented a series of policies that benefited the country and the people, making the governance of the Han Dynasty more perfect and the people's lives happier. This story of a monarch and his ministers has become a good story in history, forever inspiring future generations to pursue noble virtues and outstanding achievements.

With the assistance of Jin Lin, Liu Xie also attached great importance to the development of education, believing that education is the foundation of the country and the cornerstone of shaping future pillars. They jointly advocated the establishment of more institutions of higher learning, encouraged private schools, and selected outstanding talents for further study, in order to cultivate a new generation of leaders who are both knowledgeable and virtuous. These measures greatly promoted the prosperity of culture, making the academic atmosphere of the Han Dynasty unprecedentedly strong, and various schools of thought flourished, injecting strong vitality into social progress.

In addition, Liu Xie and Jin Lin were well aware of the truth that "water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it". They always paid attention to the people's livelihood and implemented a series of policies to reduce the burden on the people, such as reducing taxes, building water conservancy projects, and developing agriculture, which effectively eased social conflicts and enhanced the cohesion of the country. Under their governance, the Han Dynasty enjoyed a harmonious and stable society, a booming economy, and an increasingly powerful national strength, becoming the object of admiration of neighboring countries.

What is even more commendable is that Liu Xie and Jin Lin maintained a rare sobriety and self-discipline in the face of power. They set an example, advocated honesty and integrity, and cracked down on corruption, which made the court atmosphere clean and set a good example for future generations. This noble sentiment and selfless dedication made their names transcend the limitations of the times and become eternal glory.

In short, the cooperation between Liu Xie and Jin Lin not only created a glorious era, but also left precious spiritual wealth for future generations. Their story tells us that a true leader should put the interests of the country and the people first, be brave to take responsibility, and pursue unremittingly, so as to achieve great achievements and win the admiration and remembrance of future generations.

Under their influence, later monarchs and ministers followed suit, taking integrity and self-discipline as the cornerstone of governance, and constantly promoting social progress and fairness and justice. This spirit is like a trickle of water that converges into a river, nourishing the land of China, making honesty and integrity an indelible cultural gene of the Chinese nation.

At the same time, the deeds of Liu Xie and Jin Lin also inspire everyone in modern society that whether in politics, business or daily life, keeping a clear head, adhering to the moral bottom line, and having the courage to face temptation and challenges are the only way to success and respect. They have proved that true strength does not lie in the accumulation of power, but in the purity and firmness of the heart, and the unremitting pursuit of higher ideals.

Therefore, when we look back on this history, we should not only remember the achievements of Liu Xie and Jin Lin, but also draw strength from them and pass on this spirit of integrity and dedication, let it shine more brightly in the context of the new era, illuminate our way forward, and lead society towards a more harmonious and just direction.

In this process, individual self-discipline and collective awakening complement each other and jointly build a healthy and progressive social environment. Just as small trickles merge into rivers and seas, the integrity of each person, though small, can converge into a powerful force to promote social progress. We need to promote a culture that encourages people to take responsibility, not only to pursue personal achievements, but also to pay attention to social welfare, so that responsibility and compassion can become a bridge connecting each other.

At the same time, the education system should also take on the responsibility of cultivating the moral values ​​of the future generation, integrating qualities such as honesty, fairness, and perseverance into the curriculum, so that children can establish correct values ​​from an early age, learn to think independently in a complex and changing world, and not be swayed by short-term interests. Through the combination of education and practice, let the seeds of morality take root in everyone's heart and eventually grow into towering trees, providing a solid shelter for the society from wind and rain.

In addition, the media and public figures should play a positive guiding role, use their influence to spread positive energy, expose and resist those behaviors that violate morality and undermine fairness, and create a clean and upright social atmosphere. Through the joint efforts of all parties, we can look forward to a brighter and more just future, where everyone's efforts can be rewarded, and every sincerity can be treated kindly by the world.

At the same time, the education system should continue to innovate and integrate moral education into daily teaching. It should not only impart knowledge, but also cultivate students' sense of responsibility, empathy and critical thinking ability. Such an educational method can enable students to have the ability to make independent judgments when facing complex and changing social phenomena, not blindly follow the trend, and not be easily swayed by extreme ideas. Schools and families should work together to become a strong backing for children's moral growth and jointly shape a next generation that is both wise and warm.

Furthermore, we encourage all sectors of society to participate in public welfare activities and integrate the spirit of volunteer service into every corner of social life. Whether it is environmental protection, poverty alleviation, cultural communication, or technological innovation, everyone can find a suitable position for themselves and contribute their own strength. This kind of extensive social participation can not only enhance understanding and respect between people, but also effectively promote the overall progress and harmonious development of society.

Ultimately, we need to build an open, inclusive, and innovative institutional environment where the power of morality and the protection of the rule of law complement each other. In such an environment, different views can be freely exchanged and innovative ideas can thrive. At the same time, the law provides a protective umbrella for justice, ensuring that everyone can pursue their personal dreams within the legal framework and jointly promote society towards a more just and prosperous direction.
