"The old man still has a reluctant request. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Dang Renhong said.

"Speak."

"The old man in Guangzhou also has an outhouse, the important thing is that there is still an heir, now the old man has an accident, cheekily ask the Hou Ye to take care of their mother and son, if the Hou Ye is willing to help with this, the old man is grateful, and the affairs of the south, listen to the Hou Ye." Dang Renhong looked straight at Xuan Shijing and said.

Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "Okay, Ben Hou should go down, the gentleman said, it is difficult to chase the horse, since the party is so sincere, then the matter of going to Qinzhou, Ben Hou will arrange it as soon as possible, and when passing by the boundary of Guangzhou, Ben Hou will find a way to let you and your family meet again." ”

"Thank you, Master Hou." Dang Renhong thanked him.

Xuan Shijing left the prison satisfied.

Dang Renhong was able to tell himself the news of his wife and children, which was indeed reassuring to him, and this was also to win Xuan Shijing's unreserved trust.

Dang Renhong has reached this age, the previous two sons died on the battlefield, and the son born in the outer room in Guangzhou is his only descendant.

Xuan Shijing went to Xuanwu Tower, since he wanted to arrange things on the road for Dang Renhong, then some things needed to be handled by people in the Chamber of Commerce, and some things that Xuan Shijing wanted to do in the south should also be told to the money pile in advance.

As for the Dali Temple, don't be in a hurry for the time being, before His Majesty Li Er sees Dang Renhong, Lao Dai will not sign an order for Dang Renhong to leave Chang'an.

His Majesty Li Er took such a lot of trouble to protect Dang Renhong, and he couldn't say that he didn't see him before leaving.

As Xuan Shijing expected, His Majesty Li Er also knew that Dang Renhong would not stay in Chang'an City for long, so as soon as Xuan Shijing left on the front foot, someone from the palace on the back foot brought Dang Renhong into the palace.

This side of His Majesty Li Er and Dang Renhong may be the last side of this life, Qinzhou is far away from Chang'an City, and Dang Renhong is guilty of a crime, and he cannot return to Chang'an without the will of His Majesty Li Er.

In the future, even if His Majesty Li Er decrees, it will be impossible for Dang Renhong to return to Chang'an, and Dang Renhong will no longer be able to withstand the toss at this age.

His Majesty Li Er and Dang Renhong stayed in the Ganlu Hall for a long time, saying that it had been a long time, but the two of them were more silent about each other.

Dang Renhong lived up to His Majesty Li Er's expectations, and His Majesty Li Er did this for Dang Renhong, this matter is said to have passed like this, but in the end, it is His Majesty Li Er's face and prestige that will be damaged.

let people take away Dang Renhong, and His Majesty Li Er asked Deyi to pass on the decree to let Xuan Shijing enter the palace to meet him.

When Xuan Shijing was in the Shenhou Mansion, he received the will of His Majesty Li Er, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, for such a thing, His Majesty Li Er can really toss.

Mounted on the horse, he returned to the palace again.

In the Manna Palace, His Majesty Li Er stood in the palace in his regular clothes.

Xuan Shijing entered the hall and saluted in a proper manner.

"I heard that you went to see Dang Renhong after you went down to the court?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"Yes." Xuan Shijing responded: "The minister saw that Lord Dang Renhong was old and had fallen to this point for ten thousand years, so he thought about finding an errand for Lord Dang Renhong in Qinzhou, at least he could make the Dang Lord worry about food and clothing, and it could be regarded as worthy of the hard work that the Party had paid for the Tang Dynasty back then." ”

"Bastard boy, don't be sloppy with me, and be honest, what do you want to do?" His Majesty Li Er said angrily.

"Well, the minister has taken a fancy to the south and wants to make a fortune in the south." Xuan Shijing said in a muffled voice.

"South? Let's talk to me. His Majesty Li Er said.

A few years ago, the abundance of the Internal Affairs Office made His Majesty Li Er taste the sweetness of money, and now when he heard Xuan Shijing say that the south was profitable, his heart couldn't help but explore, and moreover, Xuan Shijing's idea of fighting the south even brought Dang Renhong with him, how could it be so simple as letting Dang Renhong worry about food and clothing.

"Your Majesty, what is the grain production of Henan Province and Huainan Province?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Are you saying that from the south to Gangnam Province or even Lingnan Province, there will be a lot of grain?" His Majesty Li Er asked rhetorically.

"If no one develops it, no one grows grain, then there is not a single grain." Xuan Shijing said: "The climate in the south is humid and hot, and the grain in the north is ripe three times in two years, so in the south, you can do it twice a year, and in Lingnan, you can also do it three times a year. ”

"Is that true?" His Majesty Li Er was surprised.

"It's true, but now there are fewer people in the south and more land, and no one has moved, which is a big problem, and the land in Guanguan is now almost unable to meet the population of Guanzhong." Xuan Shijing explained: "At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the chaotic times were just that the population of the Central Plains decreased sharply, resulting in a lot of land waste, and after the Gaozu Emperor's dynasty, the cultivation and recuperation have been alleviated, and then to Your Majesty, the population of Guanzhong has increased sharply, coupled with the land annexation of the large households of the Gaomen, and if this continues, the contradiction between the land and the peasant households will inevitably break out." ”

Being reminded by Xuan Shijing like this, His Majesty Li Er was also shocked in his heart, and it seems that he has paid less attention to the household department recently......

"So that's what you wanted to do with the South? In that case, why didn't you consult with me earlier? ”

"Uh...... Not only these, but when the minister went to the south, he was simply going to get rich, but today His Majesty asked......"

"Lazy! I have a bright brain, and I don't know how to use it on the right path! His Majesty Li Er scolded angrily.

This kid, if you don't ask him about it today, he will hold back this kind of good words for a few days.

Those noble officials in the DPRK and China would not say anything about the annexation of land by high-ranking families in front of His Majesty Li Er.

Xuan Shijing was taken aback by His Majesty Li Er's loud reprimand, and quickly shut up and stopped talking.

"Why don't you say it? Go on. His Majesty Li Er glanced at Xuan Shijing angrily and asked him to continue.

"What does Your Majesty want to hear?" Xuan Shijing asked cautiously.

"South."

"The south, it's a good place, the spices in the pharmacy in Chang'an City are said to be brought by the Hu people from the Western Regions, and the price is comparable to gold, in fact, this thing is also available in the south of our Tang Dynasty, especially in Lingnan, and it is not as valuable as these Hu merchants in Chang'an City say in the local area..... Xuan Shijing said.

The amount of spices consumed in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty every year is a huge amount, take the imperial banquet in the palace as an example, the whole sheep can be pasted with several catties of spices inside and out, and there can never be only one roast sheep in a meal.....

Most of Datang's cooking skills are still steaming, boiling and roasting, and only a few mansions such as the Hou Mansion have iron pots, and they know how to stir-fry and fry dishes with lard, so the spice market in Chang'an City still has a lot of profits at all.

Before, the money pile from the south to Chang'an to transport spices was just a small-scale entrainment, which could not meet the huge market in Chang'an City and the surrounding areas at all.
