Seeing that it is about to enter autumn, before and after Shen Shi, Liu Tao's afternoon tea time.

Liu Tao drank tea, this is a new product in Jiangnan, since the roasted tea and fermentation technology gradually became widely known, and tea was also popular among the major wealthy families, finding new tea has actually become a lucrative business.

Relying on specialized tea hunters, several good varieties have been found in Jiangnan one after another.

For example, Wuyi rock tea, which is a tea tree that lives on the rock wall, the oldest one grows on the top of Wuyi Mountain, at least hundreds of years old; There is also Huangshan tea, in fact, strictly speaking, it should be Qimen tea; At the same time, fragrant tea, that is, Biluochun, Tieguanyin and Longjing, have also been discovered one after another.

Knowing that His Majesty likes to drink tea, he paid some tribute. For Liu Tao, he finally doesn't have to drink only Pu'er and Kuding.

"Since the world has been unified, these days have also begun to become idle." Liu Tao drank tea, picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, simply drinking tea is easy to be bland, after all, orthodox European afternoon tea, this tea is said to be filled with milk and sugar.

"Isn't what the people of the world need this kind of idle life?" It was Liu Bei who accompanied Liu Tao to drink afternoon tea, and he was transferred to the lower province, and Liu Bei was also his more common courtier.

Originally, he sent a copy of the paper, and Wuxi Man and Wuyi Peng Yue were willing to accept the document of one country, two systems.

It happened that Liu Tao was drinking afternoon tea, and he was lonely when he drank alone, so he simply asked him to come over to accompany him. Liu Bei is in Menxia Province, most of them do other paperwork, and they rarely come over, so they probably feel embarrassed.

"Yes......" Liu Tao put down the teacup and then raised his hands high, "Long live peace!" ”

looks very middle-two, but these words are from the heart. If he could, he hoped that from now on, the battlefield would always be in someone else's territory. But then again, who in this world doesn't think so?

Then he began to sigh again: "It's just that in this kind of life, I don't feel passionate, I do similar things every day, and I live a similar life." ”

"That's Your Majesty's diligent administration, and you have to be diligent every day to correct and correct the folds. At the same time, he is also very caring for his family and is willing to spend more time with them. Liu Bei flattered.

Or is it not flattery? Is Liu Tao really diligent? During his tenure in Menxia Province, he continued to witness the gradual prosperity of the Han Dynasty under Liu Tao's rule. A lot of policies that I couldn't figure out before? With the following twists and turns? and Liu Tao's approval, which gradually became clear.

Have you ever planned to follow suit? I felt that I could find a balance between innovation and tradition. It turned out that in terms of innovation? Just a cat and a tiger? It's even a bit of an eastward imitation.

Relying on the authority of the subordinate province, he can clearly understand the situation in various parts of the country. I have seen that the people's lives are getting better and better, and the prices of grain, vegetables and meat can also be maintained at a stable level.

See Siyi surrender? Seeing the people of the Great Han conquer the cold? Also began in the conquest of the steppes. Liu Tao is not satisfied, he still wants to conquer the jungles in the south. There is even a plan to open a passage from Jiaozhou to Yizhou.

Not only that, but also to open a passage for Nanzhong to go to the body poison? This project is known as the 'Southern Silk Road'.

Four ports are set up in the coastal area, namely Wuxian, Donglai, Tianjin and Liaoning. Exploring Tianjin? The waterway to Liaoning, which can shorten the journey by four or five days? In this way, Liaodong and Lelang and other counties can be quickly reached.

I heard that you are planning to set off in Huiji? Explore east in search of the fabled Yingzhou, Penglai and Wa Kingdoms. These are the legendary fairy mountains? Changed to another emperor? I'm afraid that I have to be advised by the ministers.

However, Liu Tao directly took out the chart and marked these places, just at this location on the map, everyone shut up. Even a little excited, overseas immortal mountain, I don't know if it's where the immortals are. I can't say, the elixir of immortality, where is it?

Not to mention the era of ignorance, even in modern times, who is not interested in immortality?

Liu Tao is not interested, after all, unless he becomes an immortal, all poisons will not invade.

Otherwise, immortality is just not natural aging and death, poisoning is just as likely to die as being sick. In particular, the incidence rate of cancer in later generations is getting higher and higher year by year, and immortality is the same as Zhu Yuanzhang's gold medal for avoiding death, 'except for rebellion and no forgiveness', which has a hairy use.

"Xuande ......" Liu Tao thought for a while, "Have you ever thought about continuing to join the army?" ”

"The minister hasn't been in contact with the military for a while, and I'm afraid I won't be able to do it." Liu Bei shook his head, also worried about whether Liu Tao was testing himself.

"Are you still satisfied with the work of the Ministry of Doors?" Liu Tao asked, "Don't worry about anything, with your resume, the provincial servant is a little condescending." ”

"The minister is very satisfied, if His Majesty needs the minister to do something, but just by order." Liu Bei thought about it and replied.

"You're still so dishonest." Liu Tao scolded with a smile, "You are very experienced in winning people's hearts, the Western Regions have been gradually annexed, and the people over there have no sense of belonging to the Han Dynasty." I hope that you can go to the Western Regions Protectorate for a few years, and then come back and directly serve as the Six Secretaries. ”

Menxia Province said that he was only a secretary, although he was a close minister of the Son of Heaven, but his power was definitely not as great as that of Zhongshu Province and Shangshu Province.

In fact, not only the Western Regions, Cao Cao will be the general of Zhenxi next year, and Liu Chong is basically going to be transferred to the general of Zhendong. Senior officials in Gansu Province also need to be reappointed. The candidate is already there, it is Zhong Xuan, who ran with Xun Yu at the beginning.

"How do ministers know what to win people's hearts, but they are just conscientious and dedicated to the people." Liu Bei will not admit that he is good at winning over the hearts of the people, after all, there is a synonym for this word called demagogy.

"You're too careful...... Liu Tao shook his head, "Well, since you don't have an opinion, then it's better to go to the Western Regions to suffer for a few years." The living conditions are not very good, but the Western Regions are the key to the Silk Road, and I hope to take it seriously. ”

"Of course I understand." Liu Bei solemnly promised. Through the work of Menxia Province, he has seen that Liu Tao really cares about the Western Regions. Not only should culture be sinicized, but even people's livelihood is also very important.

Rainwater reservoirs, drip irrigation, greening, railways and road construction are planned. Not only from the Western Regions, but also from Liangzhou, where desertification is more serious, there are similar plans.

In Liu Tao's comments: It is very difficult to control desertification, but if it is not treated, then the area of desertification will continue to expand. You can't just ignore it because there is only investment and no return in front of you.

The existence of the state is not only to meet the various needs of the royal family, but more importantly, to make the lives of the common people better, not only for the present but also for the future.

"The world is unified, and as a result, there are still huge places that need to be developed and constructed." Liu Tao complained, "The population is not enough!" ”

The census has begun, but even if it finds a few million recluses, it still doesn't feel like it's enough......
