Li Ze's main task at this time is to talk.

Talk to a variety of people, etc. The first thing to look for is naturally the feudal officials from all over the country. Of course, Li Ze didn't have the energy to talk about them one by one, so he could only talk one by one. Of course, such a group of people has also been carefully combined and arranged.

Like Ding Jian and Qian Biao, their backgrounds are actually similar, one is a wealthy family of the Eyue family, the other is a wealthy family of the Jingnan family, and now they are both important ministers of the New Tang Dynasty.

"I'm looking for you today, just to talk casually." Li Ze said with a smile: "You can talk about anything, you can say anything." ”

In fact, Li Ze, as the de facto ruler of the new Tang Dynasty, and these people, as important ministers and officials sitting on one side, say one thing casually, I am afraid that it is related to the national economy and people's livelihood and the future policy direction, how can it be a casual chat?

Compared with Qian Biao, Ding Jian is much more calm, after all, he has been in the New Tang Dynasty system for many years, from an opponent of Li Ze, slowly became Li Ze's supporter, and now has become a hardcore supporter, Jingnan effortlessly incorporated into the New Tang Dynasty system, a series of national policies have been strongly implemented in Jingnan, all of which are inseparable from the promotion of Ding Jian and the Ding family's forces. Ding Jian has been accepted by Li Ze's department.

And Qian Biao is just a newcomer.

However, on the other hand, Qian Biao is more likely to accept all the policies of the new Datang.

There is no other reason, because the Qian family is actually nothing now.

The huge Qian clan has been killed by Zhu Youzhen to the point that it is almost extinct, and only three or two big cats and kittens of Qian Biao's series are left.

So he can happily embrace all the policies of the new Datang and strike mercilessly at the wealthy clans of the past.

I don't have it, do you still want to have it?

No way!

However, what Ding Jian implemented in Jingnan was a kind of improvement.

Ding Jian's improvement in the river has actually failed, and in the end, he has actually understood this truth. The reason why the reform back to Jingnan seems to have been successful is because the Ding clan and the Bai clan themselves are the largest wealthy clans in Jingnan.

The policies of separating families, dividing fields, emancipating slaves, and reducing rents and interest seem to have been implemented, but in fact, in Jingnan, the clan power is still extremely large. In the whole of Hubei, it is divided into two large parts, the southern part of Jingnan, the shadow of the clan power is still absent, and in the area of Eyue, the clan power has been devastated.

Ding Jian served as the governor of Hubei, and of course the new Tang Dynasty policy could be implemented, but with another governor, it may not be so smooth.

Li Ze is clear about this, and Ding Jian is also clear that this must be a problem that needs to be solved, and how to solve it, now Li Ze has handed over power to Ding Jian.

Now Jingnan is still the front line of fighting against Yizhou and fighting against Zhu Youzhen's forces, it is obvious that Li Ze does not want to be chaotic here, but once he arrives and the Zhu clan in Yizhou is destroyed, Ding Jian has not solved these problems, but he is afraid that he, the governor of Hubei, will have to change his position, and the new governor must go with some kind of mission.

Maybe when the time comes, there will be another bloody storm.

And the time for Ding Jian to solve these problems was before Datang completely defeated Yizhou.

Min Rou's left leading guard is progressing smoothly in the Qinling Mountains, and three of the five passages out of the Qinling Mountains have been opened, and it is expected that after the autumn, the remaining two passages will also be completely mastered by the Tang army, and once the tens of thousands of troops of the left leading guards are out of the Qinling Mountains, they will launch an attack on Hanzhong and solve this exit from Yizhou. After taking Hanzhong, Xiangyang will inevitably return to the embrace of the Tang Dynasty, and at that time, Yizhou will have no second way to choose except to retreat.

Ding Jian was silent and didn't speak first, today's visits, in fact, he has already understood.

Qian Biao naturally understood the Tao, but he was a bachelor, so he simply spoke.

"Li Xiang, these factories I visited today have greatly inspired me, and I already have a number of what I want to do in Hunan next."

Li Ze said with a smile: "Governor Qian might as well elaborate." ”

"The reason why the imperial court did not launch a general attack on the Southern Alliance at this time is because the imperial court has financial difficulties and cannot afford to fight, and secondly, as the eunuch Tu said, the southern Tang people, that are also Tang people, if we can win their hearts first, then in the future, after the war, we can easily defeat those local separatist forces with the momentum of destruction and decay, and minimize the losses, of course, including our losses and the losses in the southern places." Qian Biao said.

Li Ze nodded: "That's the truth." Although the three provinces in the northeast have been won, a lot of investment is needed to develop them and give them new vitality. In the Western Regions, militarily speaking, we have completely controlled it, but the situation there is much more complicated than that in the interior, there are many ethnic groups, and the contradictions between each other are extremely deep. The most important solution to these problems is to develop the people's livelihood and improve the living conditions of the people there, which also requires a large amount of investment. Yelu Fengze went to the Western Regions and reached a package investment agreement with Xue Ping, you must all know about it, right? ”

Qian Biao nodded: "I know, Yelu Fengze is going to plant cotton in a large area in the Western Regions, build a cotton spinning factory, etc. These factories need a large number of workers, and when the time comes, no matter what nationality or country these workers belonged to in the past, they will all live under the same roof, and if they coexist for a long time, they will deepen their understanding of each other, so as to resolve conflicts and carry out reconciliation. ”

"This is just one aspect, in fact, it is very simple, that is, once people become rich, they naturally do not want the good life in front of them to be broken, and no one wants to live a good life but want to live that precarious life again." Li Zedao: "Although it is not excluded that there are individual extremists, but at that time, these people will become a very small minority, and small loaches will not be able to make big waves." ”

"So next, I am also preparing to build these large-scale workshops in Hunan to attract a large number of people to work in the workshops." Qian Biao said with a smile: "Now that I am under the rule of Hunan, there are only more than a dozen counties around Dongting, which are a little smaller, but it is also easier to govern." ”

"Where are you going to start?"

"Yelu Fengze and Yang Zhong of the West Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce both hope that I will do this matter of Hunan embroidery in Yueyang." Qian Biao smiled: "I also have this intention." When the time comes, men farm, fish, women weave, embroider, men solve basic life problems, but women can make a lot of money, Yelu Fengze and Yang Zhong said that they will take care of everything such as building factories, recruiting workers, production, and sales. Listening to them talk about the price of Hunan embroidery, I really salivate. Over the years, our Hunan embroidery has been the price of cabbage, which is sad to think about. ”

"In the past, sales channels were limited, production was also limited, and without scale, there was naturally no effect. Now like Suzhou embroidery is the main export, three-foot Suzhou embroidery, the price overseas, you may not be able to imagine, Hunan embroidery and Suzhou embroidery are equally famous, and naturally they can also make a lot of money. Li Zedao. But Yelu Fengze and Yang Zhong, who are you going to choose? ”

Qian Biao smiled: "I'm ready for everyone to do it together." We came out of Hunan and people, they paid money, underwrote, and built a large-scale workshop together. ”

"You want people's money, other people's sales channels, and you also want to control the initiative of the factory!" Li Ze leaned back with a smile: "I'm afraid they won't agree." ”

"They will agree, Xiangxiu is a big piece of fat, and the other party will not be happy if it falls into anyone's hands alone. In this case, blending in is naturally the best choice for them. Qian Biao said: "Yelu Fengze successfully entered the embroidery industry, Yang Zhong, although he did not completely take the Hunan embroidery in his hands, but it did not make Yelu Fengze his strong competitor, he two competed, and finally the dominance naturally fell into our hands." ”

"It seems that you have changed from military to local, and you have entered the role very quickly!" Li Ze said with satisfaction.

"Li Xiang, businessmen pursue profits, if they are allowed to take the lead, I am afraid that they will desperately squeeze the local government to pursue profits, and if the local government is dominant, then they can take both." Qian Biao said. "As a local magistrate, I naturally want to focus on the livelihood of the local people."

"That's a good idea." Li Ze turned his head to look at Ding Jian, "Governor Ding, what do you say?" ”

Ding Jian nodded: "Today's visit has really inspired me a lot, and after I go back, I will also investigate carefully to see if those projects can take root in Hubei." ”

Li Ze smiled and nodded, as long as Ding Jian understood.

The operation of the large workshop will destroy the small workshop-style production in Jingnan step by step, and the emergence of a large number of industrial workers will become the gravediggers of the clan forces, and the disintegration of the local clan forces in Jingnan little by little is the best way to deal with it now, and it will not cause too strong repercussions.

Whether it is the Ding family or the Bai family, they have contributed to the imperial court, and they cannot be killed with a stick, in this process, I hope they can judge the situation, integrate into the new era as soon as possible, and find their own position in the new era. Ding Jian is a smart person, and after he goes back, he will definitely vigorously promote this matter, otherwise if this matter is not resolved during his tenure, then if he goes to another person, the means will not be so gentle.
