At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Li family only needed Lingnan to be stable, so when Li Jing pacified Xiao Milling, went south along the south, and all parts of the southeast looked at the wind and surrendered, Feng An, Ning Changzhen and other chieftains in Lingnan asked for the system to be awarded their official titles, and the court quickly agreed.

The attachment of Feng An, Ning Changzhen and others is conditional. That is, according to the old practice, each of their families is still hereditary in their land and in their office. To put it bluntly, they are only nominally subordinate, but in fact they are still the local emperors.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty had just ended the Central Plains War, and the northern Turks were still eyeing it, so they happily agreed to the requests of these chieftains in Lingnan. Even when the Tang Dynasty changed Sui County to a state, the imperial court also added Lingnan, which originally had more than 20 Zhengzhou prefectures, to more than 80 prefectures, including more than 50 new prefectures, which were just to appease the chiefs of the big and small slang.

But at one time, at that time.

"Your Majesty, Qinzhou Thorn Shi Ning Changzhen sent people into Beijing, Gonghepu Dazhu." The chamberlain retribution.

Qinzhou, on the southern coast of Lingnan, belongs to Guangxi Province according to the new administrative distinction of the Tang Dynasty.

Hearing the name Ning Changzhen, Li Shimin frowned, Ning Changzhen, one of the leaders of the Lingnan chieftains. The ancestral home of the Ning family was originally in the Central Plains, and its land was annexed by the Northern Wei Dynasty during the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Ning family moved south. Later, Ning Changzhen's grandfather, Ning Kui, served as the assassin of Dingzhou and the governor of the military of Kyushu. During the Chen period of the Southern Dynasty, he moved to Anzhou and became the ancestor of Ning's Qinzhou.

Ning Changzhen's father Ning Mengli is also very interesting, he inherited his father's Anzhou assassin history, because he was born on the same day as Chen Houzhu, and he has a noble appearance, so after Chen's death, he thought that Li was the son of heaven, so he was unwilling to surrender to Sui, and he was self-fortified by risk, and then Yang Jian sent someone to pacify, and cured his mother's illness, so he was attached.

In the fourth year of the emperor's reign, Anzhou was changed to Qinzhou, and he succeeded to the history of assassination. Ning died violently, and his son Ning Changzhen attacked.

Ning Changzhen's wife is the daughter of the Feng family in Gaozhou, that is, the daughter of Feng Xuan, Feng An's brother. Feng Ning's marriage is even more powerful.

In the fifth year of Wude, when Ning Changzhen was attached, the imperial court gave him the position of governor of Qinzhou, and the governor of several states controlled by the Ning family. Later, the imperial court took the general control, and renamed him the governor of Qinzhou and the assassin history.

Later, the imperial court abolished the capital supervision system, so Ning Changzhen was just the assassin of Qinzhou.

In just a few years, from the governor to the governor to the assassin history, from the land of the unified states to the unified states, Ning Changzhen watched the Tang Dynasty become stronger and stronger, and he was also a little worried.

Although they have been attached to the Tang Dynasty for several years, Ning Changzhen and other Lingnan chieftains have never been to the Jingshi Dynasty.

Every time, he only sent the following people to the court market, and by the way, he paid tribute to some special products.

Qinzhou's specialty is Hepu Dazhu, also known as Gopan Zhu, Nanzhu. It is the finest of pearls and has always been loved. It's just that the subordinates sent to pay tribute last year did not complete the task, because the emperor actually did not accept it.

The reason given by the emperor was that the road was far away.

What is the reason for this?

The imperial court lets local officials gather once a year to gather at the court, wouldn't it be more tiring? And in the past few years, he also sent Hepu Dazhu every year, but didn't the court accept it all?

But I won't accept it this year, and I'll have a long way to go this year?

Then the messenger brought back another message.

Last year, Li Chao, the prime minister who made great contributions to King Qinzhong, was crowned the king of Yue, and the emperor also gave a special fief to the west of Jiaozhou. Jiaozhou is in the southwest of Qinzhou, very close to Qinzhou.

Ning Changzhen heard a key point, Li Chao was coming.

And Li Chaolai didn't come to be a Guangnan Xuanfu envoy or something, but he was divided into Yue countries. It's so close to Qinzhou, where is Li Chao divided?

Ning Chang really had a strong sense of crisis, so he immediately sent a second batch of envoys to bring more Hepu Dazhu to the capital.

Inside the palace, ambergris rose.

Li Shimin just smiled coldly, "Let someone bring it back, I heard that there are thousands of pearl divers in Qinzhou, and it is not easy to dive pearls in the vast sea." I have heard that if you stay under the sea for a short time, you will not be able to collect pearls, and if you stay in the sea for a long time, you will suffocate or shiver to death. Unfortunately, if you encounter a shark and have no time to escape, all you see on the boat is a wisp of blood floating on the water, but the underwater person has already died in the belly of the fish, and if you encounter a storm, the ship will be destroyed. ”

"Let Ning Changzhen not pay tribute to pearls in the future."

Wang Chengen understood one word from the emperor's words, tribute.

Since the annexation of the Lingnan chieftains, they have not paid taxes, and they will pay some tribute to the imperial court every year. For example, Ning Changzhen is the annual Gonghepu Dazhu.

But the emperor was no longer satisfied with tribute, what he wanted was taxes.

Ryuqiu.

It's another sunny day, today is the weekend, the school is closed, and the yamen is closed. With Li Chao's support, Fan Lubing's yamen has been staffed.

The county lieutenant and the county lieutenant also took up their posts.

Fan Lubing held a recruitment examination for county civil servants in the city, and more than 60 economic officials were recruited, including the head of the six-room team, the head of the third class, and the scribes of each room, and more than 100 temporary servants who had not been established.

In addition, the Liuqiu Education Foundation led by the Li family has also been successfully established and raised a large amount of funds. Most of them were donated by the Li family, and of course, the merchants of Liuqiu also enthusiastically donated money, although many people did not donate much, but their attitudes were very supportive.

With money, things are much easier.

The island's settlers quickly built primary schools, each of which had at least one primary school. New school building, new education, new desks and chairs.

The teachers are recruited from Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong and other places, and the salary is good, and they can share 200 acres of land when they come. In this way, you can bring your family with you, and you can get a salary and an industry.

Books and textbooks are readily available, and the set of primary school textbooks compiled by Li Chao in the early years is still in use and has become a textbook for children's education in most places. Li Chao transferred a batch directly from Li Ji Bookstore.

A secondary school was also added to the city of Liuqiu, which was intended for the children of the immigrants who had already been educated for several years. Li Chao is also preparing to open several new technical schools, such as shipbuilding, crew learning, and some processing and manufacturing technologies.

Everything went very smoothly.

Ryuqiu is also getting more and more on the right track.

Like the Central Plains, the island now has a seven-day, five-day work day and two days off, with officials having two days off a week and students having two days off.

On weekend mornings, Li Chao woke up early as usual.

Since coming to the island, he seems to be used to getting up early, and it is undoubtedly much more relaxed and comfortable here than when he was in the capital.

Li Chao lives on the top of Liuqiu Fort, which is a nine-story building, and when you open the window, the sea breeze blows in your face, and you can overlook the entire port city from here.

The port city is bustling with boats coming in and out every day, bringing immigrants, handicraft goods, building materials, cattle and horses, and so on.

Ryuqiu Castle is now a huge construction site, and the construction is being carried out every day.

New houses and shops are still being built in the inner city, but construction is already beginning in the outer city. The streets of the inner city have recently been paved with stone, and it rains a lot, and when it rains, the roads in the city are muddy. Laying stone slabs and building culverts and sewers will undoubtedly make the inner city cleaner and tidier.

With a growing population and merchants, the inner city was already a bit too supportive, and now the outer city was being built.

Li Chao has also decided that the houses in the outer city can be sold to the Shanyi, and the Shanyi can also buy residences and shops in the outer city if they have money, and they can also operate in the city. Now Shanyi can go out of the city to shop and sell goods.

The outer city is also a workshop resettlement area, and many workshops are concentrated in the outer city.

"Good morning, King."

A maid walked in with a smile and greeted Li Chao while putting down the breakfast and newspaper.

Liuqiu now has a land and water post station, and there are special post boats in the port to travel between the two sides of the strait to deliver news. Several important newspapers in the Central Plains can basically be read by a day late.

For example, the Times, whose newspaper office is located in Hanjing, but has branches in Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Taiyuan, Chang'an, Luoyang and other places, has a large number of reporters and editors, who are responsible for content and drafting. In the end, after the head office decides on the content of the layout, the sample is transmitted to each branch through the pigeon station, and each branch has a printing workshop, and then prints it at the same time, and after the newspaper comes out, it is quickly transported to the surrounding area.

Relying on the post station system, it is issued layer by layer to ensure that even if it is a relatively remote place, it can be delivered within three days.

Although Ryuqiu was overseas, the speedboat delivered the newspaper, and it didn't take much time.

While eating seafood porridge, I flipped through the newspaper.

The maid helped Li Chao arrange the sheets and quilts.

"Is the king going to listen to the lectures of the scriptures in a while?" The young maid asked, she was also the daughter of an immigrant, and she was only fourteen years old. Because he knew some words and had worked as a maid in an official's house, he was recommended to serve Li Chao.

Li Chao is quite satisfied with her, a very sensible and diligent girl, with a smile all day long, like a cheerful lark.

"Of course you have to go, you can come with me later. Little Five, do you like to go to class? ”

"I like it." Xiao Wu said with a smile.

While Li Chao was promoting primary education, he also promoted adult literacy.

In addition, he also asked the teachers to explain the Confucian classics to the nearby residents on the weekends of each week, mainly to promote benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and goodness, and sometimes to explain the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

Nowadays, the seven-day calendar is popular, the sun, the moon, fire, water, wood, metal, earth, the seven days, the sun is the beginning of the week, it is Sunday.

It is also generally referred to as Sunday and Monday.

Every morning on the morning of each day, each school takes the opportunity of the weekend to arrange teachers to give lectures to the residents, which is actually the experience that Li Chao has learned from the worship of the Cross Sect in later generations.

Li Chao felt that it was necessary to gather the residents every week to talk about the Confucian classics, talk about the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and promote good and suppress evil. This can enhance the cohesion and centripetal force of immigrants in the place of immigration.

And this is actually just one part of Li Chao's huge plan, and it is only the beginning.
