Chapter 904: Ability and Ambition!
Li Zexuan This is to instill the concept of technical protection in advance to Li Er, no way, the ancient people were deeply influenced by Confucianism, and they have always been extremely generous to people from other countries, and they are eager to take out the best things in their own country to share with others, which can be seen from the generous gifts given by the small neighboring countries to the Tang Dynasty and the Ministry of Rites every time!
And more importantly, with the development of Yanhuang Academy in the future, there will be more and more corresponding academic achievements, which can be transformed into advanced industrial technology, and then there will be a steady stream of "high-tech" products involving agriculture, the army and daily life to be produced, these things will flow to other countries, not only will there be a risk of being imitated, but also will cause technology leakage!
In Li Zexuan's view, it is not that all industrial products are not allowed to be sold, but those industrial products with low technical content and easy to imitate must be embargoed! For example, the zigzag plough and the compass, once this kind of thing is revealed, it will definitely be imitated before long.
After Datang develops a substitute with higher technical content, it can take out the previously eliminated things and sell them again, so as to ensure its leading position!
For example, in the future, you can take out the tractor to replace the curved plow, and then take out the domestic surplus curved plow and sell it! In the future, if there is a better alternative, the tractor can also be taken out and sold, because this thing cannot be easily copied by others!
What kind of character Li Er is, as soon as Li Zexuan said this, he instantly figured it out, he pondered for a moment, and said: "What you said is also reasonable, it is okay to trade ordinary commodities, but it is not okay to damage the interests of Datang!" This charter is good, and the formation of the city division is in accordance with the charter! ”
After that, he looked at Li Xiaogong and ordered: "Xiaogong, then the officials, you will set up the city department as soon as possible, and you will choose the officials from the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and the central government." Then you took them south to Lingnan, set up the Yamen of the Municipal Department in Guangzhou, and set up sub-yamen in Qiongzhou, Chaozhou, Quanzhou, and Fuzhou, and opened these five major ports to the outside world.
In the future, the goods traded by the countries of the South Seas must pass through these five major ports, otherwise they will be smuggled! All smugglers, regardless of their status, will be sentenced heavily! When the time comes, the local government will cooperate with you, and I will instruct Feng Ang and Tan Dian, ordering them not to cause you trouble! ”
In February of the first year of Zhenguan, Li Er issued an edict and divided the country into ten provinces, namely Guannei Road, Henan Road, Hedong Road, Hebei Road, Shannan Road, Longyou Road, Huainan Road, Jiangnan Road, Jiannan Road, and Lingnan Road. Guangdong belongs to Lingnan Road.
Li Xiaogong solemnly arched his hand and said: "The minister obeys the order!" ”
Li Er seemed to be a little uneasy, and said: "The land of Lingnan is not as good as other places, the situation is extremely complicated, I allow you to bring three thousand elites, and you can have the right to cut first and then play in an emergency, you must ensure the normal operation of the city, and at the same time, you must maintain the stability of the Lingnan area!" ”
This last sentence has a deep meaning, Li Xiaogong and Li Zexuan squinted their eyes in unison, and secretly said that even if Feng Ang sent his son to Chang'an as a hostage, Li Er still did not relax his vigilance against Lingnan!
"Minister, obey! Your Majesty rest assured, if the minister is in Lingnan for a day, the city will definitely run as usual, and Lingnan will definitely not cause chaos~! ”
Li Xiaogong solemnly hugged his fists.
"Alright, you guys go get busy!"
Li Er nodded and waved his hand.
The two then retired.

"Lord Wang, what kind of person is Feng An?"
In addition to the palace, he sat on the "don't touch me" of the county king's mansion, and on the way, Li Zexuan asked Li Xiaogong.
Li Xiaogong frowned, and thought for a while before replying, "Feng An! He is a capable and ambitious man! ”
Without waiting for Li Zexuan to ask, Li Xiaogong continued: "In the previous dynasty, Feng Ang went from a small county order to the official all the way to the general of the right Wuwei. After the fall of the previous dynasty, Feng Ang led the army back to Lingnan, and in just a few years, he unified hundreds of tribes in one fell swoop, covering an area of thousands of miles, and his ability can be seen! ”
"Then why does the prince say that he is an ambitious man?"
Li Zexuan asked out loud.
Li Xiaogong saw a trace of coldness on his face, and said: "In the first year of Wude, the Tang Dynasty was founded, and Emperor Gaozu and His Majesty today fought in the east and west, gradually purging other rebel snobbery in the Tang Dynasty, of course, there are many forces who choose to join the Tang Dynasty. But Feng Ang didn't! It wasn't until the fifth year of Wude, when the Tang Dynasty and the Eastern Turks fought a war, the Turks retreated, and the domestic situation in the Tang Dynasty became clear, that Feng Ang gave up his territory to the imperial court, he didn't have ambitions, what was it? ”
In 617 AD, Li Yuan raised an army in Taiyuan, and like many warlords, he chose to form an alliance with the Turks. A year later, Li Yuan ascended the throne in Chang'an, and the founding name was "Tang". The Tang regime soon stood out in the competition for hegemony, and the contradictions with the Turks deepened day by day, and began to transform from allies to enemies, and they met each other in arms.
In the fifth year of Wude (622 AD), there was a famine in the Turkic country. At that time, Li Yuan wanted to free up his hands to deal with his most powerful opponent, Liu Heimin, so he took the initiative to send a large amount of gold and silver treasures to Jieli Khan, asking for peace. The Khan was a little embarrassed by the famine, and he was happy to push the boat, and the two countries promised to intermarry and reconcile. Li Yuan took advantage of the favorable situation of a brief peace with the Turks, and his opponent Liu Heimin launched a general attack. On 26 March, Li Shimin defeated Liu Heimin, and Liu Heimin's 20,000 elite soldiers were completely lost, and only more than 200 people escaped and defected to the Turks.
Jieli Khan woke up like a dream, tore up the peace treaty with the Tang Dynasty, sent tens of thousands of troops, and launched an attack on the Tang Empire together with the exiled Liu Heimin! Li Yuan urgently ordered the crown prince Li Jiancheng to go out of the Fengzhou Road, and the Qin king Li Shimin to go out of the Qinzhou Road to fight against the two Turkic armies respectively. In addition, Guo Zihe, the governor of Yunzhou, was dispatched to Yunzhong to cover the army of Jieli Khan; Duan Decao, the general of Zuo Wuwei, went to Xiazhou to cut off the retreat of the Turks, and the two sides flickered dead and wounded.
However, due to the fact that the Tang Empire had not yet completed the unification of China at that time, Li Yuan tried his best to avoid large-scale conflicts with the Turks, and even sacrificed some interests to restrain the Khan, and finally the Turks retreated, giving the Tang Dynasty a very valuable respite.
It was also in this year that the Lingnan chieftain Feng Ang entered the court and expressed his willingness to belong to the Tang Dynasty, and Li Yuan divided his original area into eight prefectures: Gao, Luo, Chun, Bai, Ya, Dan, Lin, and Zhen, and appointed Feng Ang as the governor of Shangzhu and Gaozhou, and named him the Duke of Yue. Appointed his son Feng Zhidai as the Assassin of Chunzhou.
In the carriage, Li Zexuan was silent for a long time, and then arched his hand and said: "If it is really as the prince said, then the prince should be careful in Lingnan!" ”
Li Xiaogong smiled heartily and said, "Haha! Don't worry, he Feng Ang doesn't dare to move the king, if he does, then the court will have a reason to use troops against Lingnan~! ”
At the end, there was a cold light in his eyes!
