"Mr. Li, at most two days, I will send the relevant accounts and lists, smuggling also belongs to the management of Mingzhou Port, and Mr. will help me review it then!"

Reciprocating Li with a peach is Wu Sibao's normal psychological reaction, and it is also a hint that Li Zhi intends to make a fortune from it.

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "I won't pay attention to these, you can deal with it yourself!" It will take some time for the governance of Mingzhou Port, after all, Guangzhou Port has just begun to operate benignly, and it can't be taken care of for the time being! ”

Even if he knew that Mingzhou Port was in urgent need of rectification, he couldn't show it, otherwise he would expose his eagerness and attract suspicion from people with a heart.

And Wu Sibao's kindness, he just understood it in his heart, the inventory of the largest store has been ordered to be collected by Fuchen, this person will not be unaware, and if he inserts a hand, the appearance of eating will be ugly.

Wu Sibao didn't follow up to persuade him, maybe he thought that the Zhengqing Wenqitang family had a big business, so he wouldn't care about that, or he would pay tribute afterwards.

"What do you think about those Solidarity Army?"

"This is a matter between the Admiral's Mansion and the Hope Navy, and it is inconvenient for me to participate, let alone understand the ingenuity, so I can't give any opinions!"

"The ...... of the Assassin's Mansion"

"Brother Sibao, I'm just suggesting, you'd better not get involved in the affairs of the Assassin's Mansion, the court has its own arrangements. I myself have always been far away, political affairs are too complicated, and too many people are involved! ”

Seeing that Wu Sibao felt a little confused by his words, Li Zhi further explained:

"I was originally driven by the emperor to put a duck on the shelf, and not participating in political affairs is not only due to my personal interests, but also a taboo existence as a cultivator. As more ports are effectively governed, I will also ask the Holy Lord to strive for each large port to set up its own city envoy, so that it will gradually be freed! ”

Wu Sibao said strangely: "With all due respect, as long as Guangzhou Port has an example, it can be handed over to his subordinates to handle it specifically, and Mr. doesn't need to go back and forth in person?" ”

"In addition to the various ports, I will stay in Dengzhou Port for a long time in two months, and the relevant departments have asked the emperor and the Empress Wu to open the Bohai Bay sea route. By the way, is the fourth brother going back to Chang'an City or Luoyang? ”

"Luoyang, my wife and children have been settling down there for five or six years!"

"That's good, I have to bother the fourth brother to give Princess Taiping a message, and ask her if she has any plans to participate in the new sea channel, I am thinking about setting up the Shengjing Shipping under my name there!"

He deliberately moved Princess Taiping out, and the purpose was nothing more than to reveal a little kindness in his heart to Empress Wu.

The effect of this is also to let the Wu family know that there is still a stakeholder cooperation with Princess Taiping.

Sure enough, Wu Sibao didn't hide his surprise:

"I didn't expect Mr. Li to have such a close relationship with Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I heard that the emperor and Empress Wu personally went to the unveiled tea house, and Mr. also participated?"

Li Zhile said, "Not only is it related, I also account for seventy percent, and the emperor writes the plaque with a pen, and the tea house has no official name, that is, because of the couplets and horizontal criticisms in front of the tea house written by the holy pen, the meaning of the words of Zhengqing Wenqitang can only be hung inside!" ”

"Dengzhou Port Bohai Bay Passage, Zhengqing Wenqitang also plans to participate in it?"

"Well, the Shengjing Zero, which is currently docked at Mingzhou Port, will be the first ship to come and go, and the entire route is also specifically developed by Shengjing Shipping!"

"Mr. Li plans to invest how much in the opening of this channel?"

"At least a hundred thousand taels of silver, mainly for the construction of giant cargo ships, at least a dozen!"

Wu Sibao gasped, he originally wanted to get involved, but the cash he could take out was only about 10,000 taels.

In this way, it is very likely that 10,000 taels will not even be able to account for half of it, so he decisively dispelled his thoughts.

Li Zhi proposed this astonishing number in order to scare off this person.

If he cooperates with the martial arts, at most ten years, once the martial arts abdicate, the cleanup of the martial arts will be carried out on a large scale, and he doesn't want his business to be involved.

The exchange between the two lasted for more than an hour, and Li Zhicai proposed to leave.

There was not much time left for Wu Sibao to completely clean up the aftermath, and he couldn't let him delay because of himself.

After looking at the naval barracks, the two did not rush back as soon as possible, but specially rushed to the vicinity of Qu's house for a turn.

Li Zhi needs to conclude that the local unity army is no longer suspicious of his party, and it is particularly important to explore the current movements of the Qu family.

After another hour, Li Zhicai returned to the ship with confidence and informed Mahdi and the others that they could play with confidence.

Mingzhou can not only rely on geographical advantages, but also become the largest port in Datang, and has very frequent trade exchanges with several East Asian countries, and the natural scenery is also unique.

Moreover, due to the local policy of enriching the people, the economy of Mingzhou has been developed, so that the sound of singing and drums is heard everywhere in the city, which shows the relatively superior affluent daily life of the ordinary people here.

With the increasing prosperity of the port and the gradual prosperity of foreign exchanges and trade, the influx of foreign population here has also become inevitable.

However, Li Zhi knew that Mingzhou Port, as one of the four major ports of the Tang Dynasty in a few decades, could only be regarded as a preliminary stage of development, and even if it attracted the first batch of Tang envoys from Liuli Island to dock in Mingzhou, it would take more than 60 years.

This shows that it is still some distance away from Guangzhou Port and Yangzhou Port, and the reason is that Mingzhou Port does not have a unified development plan.

In any case, the opulence of this place is obvious, so after entering the city, the Western Regions Royal Tour Group is very interested in tasting a variety of local exquisite snacks.

For the citizens of the Arab Empire in a barren land, such an abundance of fresh food attracted their attention far more than the scenery.

For example, egg garden, white sugar square cake, bean paste eight treasure rice, three-silk banquet noodles, bean paste balls, moss and vegetable dragged yellow croaker, grilled loach, five-spice tofu, etc., are particularly attractive to these people from the Western Regions.

In particular, the appearance of Babao sweet soup has greatly satisfied the exotic people who originally liked sweet and greasy drinks, although they still can't understand the nostalgia for the taste of their hometown, but in the Dongtu Datang, thousands of miles away, it is also a great satisfaction to have this similar drink.

As a result, this luxury self-driving tour group did not rush to various scenic spots in the suburbs all day, but was trapped in the city by all kinds of food.

And the size of the lake in the city can be seen everywhere, archways, Xuan, pavilions, corridors and other buildings are interspersed in the meantime, tired to find a dessert shop at will to eat and rest, the stomach is full, just feel the natural style of the pavilions and corridors by the lake.

Those ladies are particularly comfortable, including Li Zhi's wife, who are also full of energy.

It's just that the men can't bear to wander around like this, so they simply chose a lakeside restaurant, called a table of dishes, tasted fruit wine, and waited for them to return.

Li Zhi naturally has to accompany the men, Fu Chen and Ah Ming, leading Rahman,

Nasser and the other cultivators followed, but they were not worried about any danger.

And Li Zhiben thought that his side would stop a little, but he never thought that Sasher was not very interested in a table of halal dishes in the restaurant, and he didn't know when he slipped out and came back with a large wooden basin of sea melon seeds on the street.

Sea melon seeds are a famous local seawater specialty in Minzhou, named because of their shape and size like melon seeds, and are mostly produced in mudflats with frequent tides.

To put it bluntly, it is a clam, the shell is long oval, only the size of a fingernail, but the ginger, garlic, Shao wine, soy sauce, pepper stir-fry out, pour in hot oil, just smell its taste is extraordinarily delicious, fragrant.

Mahdi and other bigwigs were reserved at first, but after tasting them, they couldn't put down their chopsticks.

Moreover, because the flesh of the sea melon seeds is very small, they are very unfamiliar with the use of bamboo chopsticks, and then they actually started to catch them, where is there still a trace of the dignity of the imperial royal family and envoys.

Li Zhi hadn't eaten it yet, so he asked curiously.

It turns out that there are similar things on the seaside of Guangzhou, but they are not very common, but when they are brought to the big restaurant, they are local famous dishes, the price is not too expensive, but there are not many opportunities to eat.

Saschel had eaten once, and before entering the restaurant, he had his eyes on the street stalls.

This thing is like a soy sauce screw in the north, the more you touch the taste, the more delicious it is, once you are addicted to it, you can't stop it.

So the appetite was opened, and the high liquor was also required to be put on the table.

So many people scrambling for one pot of sea melon seeds was obviously not enough, so Li Zhi took out the silver and asked the restaurant guy to go down and buy two more pots.

Because it was not time to eat, the business in the restaurant was deserted, and in the end, even their shopkeeper and cook were invited.

The people of the Western Regions are straightforward and love to make friends, and with these locals, they can also learn more about folk customs. So, within half an hour, all of them were blushing and had thick necks.

Li Zhi is not worried that someone will get drunk, a wisp of true qi can get rid of most of the alcohol.

Mahdi and other ordinary people are willing to drink openly because they know that there is such a benefit.

Speaking of the beautiful scenery of the local area, the old shopkeeper in the restaurant has a bit of talent, plus there is good wine to help the fun, and the introduction is interspersed with poems and quatrains, and the vulgar Yazhi is even more open-mouthed.

It makes the explanation of folklore as fascinating as storytelling, and it sounds boring and fun.

It was only because of the hardships of the translators around the people of the Western Regions, plus that Sasher and Hisham had joined the translation team, that they could barely keep up with the old man's talk.

It was getting dark, and the women led the children back, and I don't know who noticed it first, and they were also interested in the pots of sea melon seeds.

So in order not to affect the business of the restaurant, everyone simply borrowed their tables, chairs and benches and went to the lake outside the courtyard.

He even beckoned a vendor specializing in sea melon seeds, moved his entire business over, and served the 100 people alone.

Aimar looked at Li Zhi and sighed:

"I have been in Datang for three years, and only today I feel the most comfortable, and I can only taste the original local characteristics by integrating into local life, and I can also mingle with ordinary people and feel the simplicity of civilians!"

Mahdi was very surprised when he heard this: "It turns out that you have been here for a few years, and you have never really experienced the joy of the people, so I feel that tonight's humble dinner by the lake is far more refreshing than the splendid diplomatic banquet!" ”
