In March of the first year of Jiayou, the edict summoning Li Bu to return to Beijing returned to Guangzhou, because there was a major change in the court - the emperor was ill.

On the first day of the first lunar month, Zhao Zhen suddenly felt dizzy when he received the court in the Daqing Palace, and fell crookedly on the throne, salivating at the corners of his mouth, and the court had to end hastily. A few days later, Zhao Zhen jumped out of bed barefoot in the forbidden palace again, shouting: "The queen and Zhang Mao are going to kill me!" "It seems that the emperor is not lightly ill in the brain.

After the emperor recovered slightly, he immediately ordered Wen Yanbo to recall Li Buqi, because Li Buqi still had the title of "miracle doctor", and the emperor naturally wanted to have a miracle doctor by his side when he was sick.

However, this matter was delayed by Wen Yanbo and others, because the emperor had this disease and could not look at things, and it was natural to suggest the establishment of the crown prince at this time, even if he was annoyed by the emperor's taboo, the emperor couldn't say anything. The emperor has two sons, Li Buqi is the boss's teacher, in case Li Buqi comes back and says something, let the emperor make the boss the crown prince, then Wen Yanbo and the black hands who drove the boss out of the palace in the first place will be dangerous?

Everyone saw this problem, so Sima Guang and others, who had impeached Li Buqi in the previous three days, also suddenly stopped, and later saw that the emperor was hesitant in the matter of establishing a prince, and insisted on immediately recalling Li Buqi, which really couldn't be delayed, so that Li Buqi could not return to Beijing to report on his work and appoint another document, but no new official position was arranged.

Li Buqi estimated that it would be impossible to return to Guangnan for a while while when he returned to Jingshi this time. Although it was less than five years agreed with the emperor, the affairs of Quang Nam were basically on the right track, and both the two envoys of Guangnan and Guangxi said that as long as there was no imperial edict, they would not change the policy formulated by Li Buqi. Although there is a thriving trend in Guangnan now, it is still a place where rabbits don't in the capital, and I don't think anyone will come to compete with these two people for the position of transfer envoy, even if they are replaced, they will probably be promoted from the local officials in Guangnan, so Li Bu will be able to maintain that set for a few years.

Looking back on the past two years, although Li Buqi has not done anything practical, he has not wasted any time at all, and the most important thing is that the "budget system" has been introduced in the Quang Nam government government, and every year the government at all levels has to report what the local government is going to do next year and the budget, and then the government at a higher level will divide the tax revenue with the government at a lower level in accordance with the approved budget and supervise it. In this way, the local government has the ability to do something, make some achievements, and mobilize the enthusiasm of the local officials.

A side advantage of implementing the budget system is that the government must have specialized economic personnel in order to make budgets and final accounts, and if it wants to carry out water conservancy, roads, and other projects, it must have the help of engineering personnel to draw up a reasonable budget. Therefore, if the magistrate wants to obtain more resources and make greater achievements from the higher-level officials, he must respect the technical talents. Li Buqi very much hoped that after the budget system was pushed out throughout the Great Song Dynasty, he would gradually build a technical bureaucracy for the Great Song Dynasty.

In addition, the port of Guangzhou used the Jiaozhi captives to build ten deep-water wharves and a well-developed lighthouse navigation system, and the iron-smelting workshops near Guangzhou not only provided a large number of iron agricultural tools for the two Guangzhous, but also supplied sufficient iron tools to the maritime merchants to sell to the South Seas and Africa in exchange for high-value goods. Now the prosperity of Guangzhou Port has reached a higher level, and with the drive of Guangzhou, I believe that the development of Guangzhou and Guangzhou can be faster.

As for Jiaozhi, Li Buqi is not worried at all. Li Dezheng died at the end of last year, and his sons are now fighting for the throne. As the territory controlled by the Annan court became larger and larger, and the population became more and more, it was only a matter of time before the small court of Jiaozhi perished, and now as long as the Xiao Note of the Annan army was mastered, it was not in a hurry and slowly encroached, and within a few years, the entire Red River Delta would be under the control of the Great Song Dynasty.

For nearly five years, Li Buqi dared to say that he had not wasted any time and created a new Guangnan. Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and Li Bu's prestige in Quang Nam is unparalleled. This can be seen from the day Li Buqi left Guangzhou, and the officials and ordinary people spontaneously sent thousands of empty alleys to see Li Buqi off.

There were all kinds of people who saw Li Buqi off. The officials followed Li Buqi to get political achievements, and when Guangnan's economy improved, they could also follow with more oil and water, so they naturally thanked Li Buqi; The small officials paid them salaries because Li did not give up, and in contrast to other places in the Great Song Dynasty that never paid salaries to the small officials, they naturally loved this capital envoy from their hearts; The stewards sent to Quang Nam by the landlords and noble merchants naturally had to thank this God of Wealth because Li Buqi presided over the construction of a large number of water conservancy projects and harvested every year; The businessmen benefited from a series of economic measures and really did not want Li to leave; In the eyes of those immigrants with foreign accents, whether they are working or plowing the fields, it is Li Buqi's immigration policy that gives them a bite to eat...... In short, Li Buqi is in charge of Guangnan, and almost everyone has benefited, how can you not sincerely thank Li Buqi?

Among the tens of thousands of people who saw him off, Li Buqi couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw some strangely dressed people relative to the surrounding people. These people were all short-haired, wearing pullover sweatshirts and straight-legged pants on the lower body, indicating that they were sailors. Short hair was designed to reduce parasite breeding, tighter pullovers and straight-legged pants could reduce accidental hooking in the cramped cabin, and made it easier to put on and take off.

When he returned to Beijing this time, although Li Buqi was not urged in the official document, Li Buqi still hurried up and came to the ten-mile long pavilion outside the capital in a month and a half. If you don't hurry up, the emperor is sick, and he must be looking forward to Li Buqi such a "miracle doctor" every day to give him a wonderful hand to rejuvenate as soon as possible. Moreover, Li Buqi was also worried that the emperor's brain would have a convulsion and make the fourth prince the crown prince, which would increase the difficulty of his actions. There is just an excuse for the emperor to see a doctor, so let's go back to Beijing quickly to stir up the matter of Lichu.

Li did not abandon Ping Guangnan, and he was a person of great merit, and the courtesy of the court could not be slow, and the emperor ordered the prime minister to go to the ten-mile long pavilion to greet him. According to the general procedure, after the ceremony, Li Buqi should first go to the pavilion to rest, and choose an auspicious day to face the king to show his solemnity.

But now the emperor was anxious to let Li Buqi give him a doctor, so he made an exception and ordered Li Buqi to enter the palace immediately. First of all, in the presence of the prime ministers in the Chongzheng Palace, Zhao Zhen officially met with Li Buqi, and then Zhao Zhen asked the prime minister to step down, leaving only Li Buqi. This is to let Li Buqi give him a doctor, and the prime ministers are not good to rely on the Chongzheng Palace, so they have to go back to run errands, but they listen to the news with their ears open.

Nearly an hour later, Li Buqi came out of the palace. According to the rules, officials like him can go home to see their relatives after meeting the emperor. It's been nearly five years, and he hasn't seen his wife and children, Li Buqi stood outside the Xuande Gate and looked up at the spotless blue sky and breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, a voice sounded in my ears: "Teacher, please be safe." ”

Li Buqi looked down and saw in front of him a half-sized young man wearing a military uniform with a thin waist and a back bowing. Li Buqi hurriedly pulled him up and looked him up and down, and saw that the young man was one meter five, with wide shoulders and thick back, dark complexion, and a pair of phoenix eyes. ”

Yu'er smiled: "The teacher is still like this, like an immortal." ”

Li Buqi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again: "Not only has I grown taller, but my mouth has also become sweeter, I have really grown up." How did you get here? School is not open today? ”

"I heard that the teacher was in Beijing today, so I asked for leave to go to the Shili Pavilion to greet him. It's just that there are too many people, so I don't get forward. I heard that my father summoned the teacher to see him directly, and I thought that I would be able to go home after the audience. My wife missed the teacher very much, so I waited here to welcome the teacher home. ”

Li Buqi said: "You have a heart." As he spoke, he swept his eyes and saw a few half-sized young men standing on the side of the royal street in the distance, who were also wearing military uniforms, looking at this side, and asked, "That's your classmate?" ”

Yu'er said, "Yes." Since my father's health was not safe, the matter of the establishment of the prince has been in an uproar, and my identity has also been revealed. In order to protect my safety, every time I go out, I will send students to accompany me. ”

Li Buqi nodded: "It should be like this." ”

When riding a horse and walking home, Zhao Sheng and Li Buqi walked side by side, half a horse behind, Li Buqi beckoned him to follow, and the guards were very eye-catching either to open the way in front or to lag behind, leaving space for the two to talk.

Li Bu gave up and said: "Your Majesty is sick, you, as a son, should serve the sick at the bedside." ”

Zhao Sheng hurriedly said: "The leftover child should have waited in front of his father's bed, but Xianggong Wen said that the leftover child was afraid of his father in front of his father, so the queen mother could only let the leftover child enter the palace every five days to visit." At other times, the leftovers had to pray for their father's blessing in the school. ”

Li Buqi smiled, and said in his heart that Wen Yanbo and these people are really anxious, and they are not afraid of taking on the charge of dividing the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Family. However, it seems that Zhao Zhen is still afraid of death, and because of the ethereal rumors, he didn't dare to let his son stay in the palace. The emperor's small-minded man is also gone.

Zhao Sheng asked: "My father was admitted to the school the day before, and I understood the "Treatise on Salt and Iron" taught in the school, but I didn't expect it to be ...... the next day Teacher, I don't know ...... my father's body."

Li Buqi can guess that Zhao Zhen saw Zhao Sheng the day before, and he had a stroke the next day, and the rumors of Zhao Shengke's parents must have been stirred up again, and Zhao Sheng's psychological pressure must be very great. He said: "It should be a small stroke, Your Majesty is still young, as long as you can raise it with peace of mind, there should be no big deal." ”

Zhao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, but heard Li Buqi say: "It's just that as an official family, it is difficult to raise it with peace of mind." When I came to see him, His Majesty told me about the establishment of the prince. ”

Hearing Li Buqi say the word "Lichu", Zhao Sheng's ears immediately corsed.
