Baekje is not a pure little white sheep, they were cheated by Silla before, and worked hard to attack Goguryeo, but instead of getting any benefits, they were also attacked by Silla, thus taking away their fattest land, which made Baekje hate Silla to the core, in order to take revenge, they simply turned to Goguryeo, secretly allied with Goguryeo, and prepared to deal with Silla together, which is why Silla fought hard to hold the thighs of the Tang Dynasty. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

When Gopyo-in first arrived in Baekje, he met Goguryeo's envoys, so he was very clear about the relationship between Baekje and Goguryeo, but compared to Goguryeo, Datang was of course a thicker thigh, so Baekje immediately and decisively abandoned Goguryeo as an ally after getting Datang's kindness, so he had the words of Yici.

Li Xiu also knew about the collusion between Baekje and Goguryeo, and he deliberately mentioned Goguryeo to test Yoshiki's reaction, and the answer of the other party in the alliance made him very satisfied, it seems that this Yoshiji can inherit the throne of Baekje, and he is really a person who knows how to make trade-offs.

Yici came to Li Xiu, it was nothing more than a lala relationship, hoping to use Li Xiu's influence to get the support of the Tang Dynasty, which was almost the same as Silla's purpose, and Li Xiu didn't want Silla to sit big, so he naturally hit it off with Yici, and the two also talked happily, and even Li Xiu also asked people to set up a banquet to entertain Yici, which made Yici also feel flattered, after all, not everyone can get such a warm hospitality from Li Xiu.

When the wine and food were full, Li Xiu and Yici were also guests, and it was not early at this time, Yici got up to say goodbye, and Li Xiu personally sent him and Gao Biaoren away, but at this moment, Gao Biaoren suddenly said to Li Xiu: "Yan Guogong, I came to see you today, in addition to helping Prince Yici introduce you, in fact, I also bid you farewell!" ”

"Farewell? Could it be that your appointment has already come down? Li Xiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then reacted and said, Gao Biaoren's envoy to the Wa Kingdom and win over Baekje has already proved his ability, so in addition to the reward of the county prince, there must be another appointment, which is also what Gao Biaoren wants most.

"Yes, the Southern Suzhou Thorn History is old, and I will go home to retire this year, so the imperial court appointed me to take over the Suzhou Thorn History, and I am leaving Chang'an again!" Gao Biaoren smiled again at this time, but there was a little reluctance in his smile.

Speaking of the Gao family, the family suffered a catastrophe at the beginning, and the family was defeated all of a sudden, Gao Biaoren has always wanted to revitalize the family, and now he finally seized an opportunity, as long as he makes some political achievements in the field, he is likely to return to Chang'an to stand on the court in the future, so he should be very happy, but Chang'an is the most prosperous place in the world, and he is naturally very reluctant to leave at the thought of leaving.

Li Xiu didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, he had just come back from Suzhou, and Gao Biaoren was about to go to Suzhou to take office, but when he was in Suzhou, he heard Zhang Shiyi seem to have said that the assassin history in Suzhou is indeed not young, and it is indeed the age when he should go home to retire, but he didn't expect to be taken over by Gao Biaoren.

"I see, but Suzhou is one of the most prosperous cities in the south, Gao Jungong can go there to do a history of assassination, which shows that His Majesty attaches great importance to you, and Gao Jungong will also have a bright future in the future!" Li Xiu also smiled and congratulated Gao Biaoren at this time, after all, this is indeed a good thing for Gao Biaoren, such a good position in Suzhou Thorn History, not everyone can sit on it.

Gao Biaoren also hurriedly said a few words of modesty to Li Xiu's congratulations, but then he showed a hesitant expression, and finally spoke again: "Guogong, I heard that General Ma's daughter and son-in-law are also serving in Suzhou?" ”

"Yes, Hate Er is my sister, and Shangguan Yi is a person from our Ministry of Agriculture, and you will have to take care of it in the future!" Li Xiu smiled and nodded at this time, Gao Biaoren's appointment in Suzhou is also a good thing for Shangguanyi, after all, there are people above, and he can also get more help when he is serving in Haiyan.

"Guogong is polite, in fact, even if Guogong doesn't say it, I won't treat Shangguan County Order badly, speaking of which, I am still a brother-in-law with Shangguan County Order." Gao Biaoren smiled again at this time.

"Huh? Join...... Brother-in-law? Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Gao Biaoren's words, he did have a sister, such as that Concubine Yang, but other than that, he really couldn't think of any other princess of the former Sui who was alive?

"Hehe, Guogong doesn't know, Bei Nei was originally the daughter of Yang Yong, the former Sui prince, and was named Princess Daning, when Yang Guang usurped the throne, our Gao family is the prince's descendant, and this is the blow, so counting it, the wife of Bei Nei and Shangguan County Ling is actually cousins." Gao Biaoren spoke again at this time.

Li Xiu didn't expect that Gao Biaoren's wife turned out to be Yang Yong's daughter, and she was indeed the cousin of Hate'er, but Yang Yong was killed by Yang Guang, which made him a little worried about whether Gao Biaoren's wife would hold a grudge?

Maybe he saw the thoughts in Li Xiu's heart, and saw Gao Biaoren smile again at this time: "The grievances of the previous generation have long passed, even the former Sui has died, and there are not many former Sui royal families in the cheap, so the cheap ones have already let go of the grievances in their hearts, and they have been talking many times to see this cousin, but they have never had the opportunity before, this time they just went to Suzhou, but they can let their cousins contact their feelings more!" ”

"Haha~, the hero sees the same thing, I think the same way, it just so happens that I am also about to write a letter to Hate'er, and there are some other things to bring, so it is better to trouble Brother Gao!" Li Xiu heard that Gao Biaoren took the initiative to reconcile, and he followed his words at the moment.

"No problem, I'm going to leave in ten days, then the Duke of Guo only needs to send someone to deliver the letter and things to me, and I will definitely personally deliver the letter to the Shangguan County Order!" Gao Biaoren patted his chest and assured.

With the relationship of hate, Li Xiu and Gao Biaoren seemed to be closer, and then chatted a few more words, and then he sent the other party and Prince Yici away, and when Gao Biaoren and they left, they also kept waving goodbye to Li Xiu.

Watching Gao Biaoren and their figures disappear on the official road under the sunset, Li Xiu's face suddenly showed a little bit of a smile, the reason why Gao Biaoren was in a hurry to get in touch with himself was probably also to find a backer in the court, so that it would be easier to be promoted in the future.

Early the next morning, Li Xiu went straight to the Yamen of the Ministry of Agriculture, although he was gone for more than a year, but nominally still in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture, even if he never took care of things, Li Shimin did not replace his idea, in fact, although Li Xiu did not care about the specific affairs of the Ministry of Agriculture, but the general direction has been controlled by him, although Yang Dui is good, but he still lacks the ability to grasp the general direction.

I haven't been here for more than a year, the Ministry of Agriculture Yamen doesn't seem to have changed much, the only thing that is surprising is that the market outside the Ministry of Agriculture Yamen has turned into a fixed street, with covered shops on both sides, and the villagers in a radius of 100 miles like to come here to buy things, making the streets very lively, it seems that it won't be long before a small city may appear here, and it is not impossible to establish a county even in the future.

Seeing the lively scene on the street, Li Xiu also showed a sincere smile on his face, after all, he was watching this place change from a wasteland to a prosperous place like this, which made him feel an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

The original Hu Cake Stalls have become Hu Cake Shops, and the seller of Hu Cakes is still the young Han man at the beginning, but there is a slender woman next to him, and he is still holding a child in his hand, and there are still many people who buy Hu Cakes.

At the moment, Li Xiu was eating Hu cakes, while walking to the Yamen of the Ministry of Agriculture, the official guarding the door naturally recognized him, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Li Xiu also smiled and said hello, and then gnawed the Hu Cake into the Yamen, at this time it was the busiest time in the Ministry of Agriculture, from time to time there were officials who walked by with thick official documents, and saw Li Xiu also saluted.

Li Xiu came to Yang Dui's office room, pushed open the door and found that the other party was not here, but this was not surprising, after all, Yang Dui was a person who liked to do it himself, so most of the time he was busy with ordinary officials, and he was rarely seen sitting in the room, so Li Xiu asked someone, and soon knew that Yang Dui was in the backyard of the yamen.

In addition, there is even a craftsman department here, which is recruited by the Ministry of Agriculture to improve agricultural tools, after all, in addition to changing crops, agricultural tools are also very important, such as the Quyuan plough that appeared in the Han Dynasty, the efficiency is by no means comparable to the general straight plow.

Li Xiu had already inquired clearly, Yang Dui was in the courtyard where farm tools were made, and when he stepped inside, he immediately saw Yang Dui and a few gray-haired old craftsmen standing in the yard, discussing something around a strange tool?

"Yang Dui, what are you doing here?" Li Xiu stepped forward with a smile at this time.

Yang Dui didn't see Li Xiu at first, and didn't turn around until he heard his words, and then he also showed a surprised expression and said, "You can be regarded as back, I just have something to ask you!" ”

"Hehe, yesterday I saw the cotton you planted by the river, so I came to ask about the situation, when did you start planting cotton?" Li Xiu also asked with a smile at the moment, cotton is an important cash crop, and even the industrial revolution in Britain in history began with the textile industry, so Li Xiu also attaches great importance to it.

"Last year, His Majesty introduced cotton seeds from the Western Regions, but because the season is not right, we only started planting this spring, and we didn't plant much, mainly to understand the growth of cotton." Yang Dui opened his mouth to introduce, and when he said this, he suddenly pointed to the strange-shaped tool beside him and smiled, "Please look at the horse, this tool is specially customized for cotton, I wonder what you might see what it is for?" ”
