Chapter 218: Lingnan Road
Historically, Li Er's early period was fine, but in the later period of Li Er, because of the use of troops against Goryeo several times and other places, the levy on the southern side was a lot heavier, and those officials in the later period gradually became greedy.
There have also been several Han riots in the south, which made Chang'an even less concerned about the south. It's a good place, but it took many years to really develop it.
Only Li Hao knows how much power this south actually contains. After the plague and miasma were broken, as long as there were enough people to develop it, the south was the best big granary. Moreover, if the south is well developed, if the north is invaded in the future, there will still be a large area of the south that can be operated as a rear.
"Zijia is here!" It seems that since the last court meeting, Li Hao has not been to the court much, and he has never seen Li Er. This is the first time Li Hao has seen Li Er after the New Year.
Li Er's complexion looks good, but these are all false. As a doctor, Li Hao can still see that this guy seems to be a little overly drunk after he doesn't have the queen to look at it.
It's no wonder that some of the things with certain effects that he got from Tubo were all asked for by the palace, and they were all used by Li Er. However, Li Hao didn't say anything, and how long Li Er lived didn't have too deep feelings for him.
Whether it is an emperor through the ages, after taking a look at some halos, Li Er is actually just an excellent emperor. There are many things he does that are not so perfect, but they are exaggerated by the reputation of a Zhenguan Zhizhi and the Heavenly Khan.
In addition, this guy's ruthlessness Li Hao also realized it, so Li Hao now puts Li Er's status in his heart more and more low. I said something at the beginning, but Li Er didn't listen, he wanted to die early, and this Li Hao couldn't help it.
Looking at history, it seems that there are very few people who have lived a long life as emperors, especially the founding emperors. In the early stage, he fought everywhere, and in the later stage, he went to bed and fought vigorously, and it was a strange thing that such a person could live a long time.
"Minister, I've seen the emperor." Li Er called Li Hao to the palace, and there was more than one person by his side. The eldest grandson Wuji, the old house, and these important ministers of Zhenguan are all there, which makes Li Hao more and more sure that this time he called himself over to discuss the affairs of the south.
"What has Zijia been busy with lately?" After Li Hao came over, Li Er didn't directly tell Li Hao about the Lingnan side, but chatted with Li Hao casually.
"The minister cooks good food at home, and he has nothing to do with his wife to go to a nightclub to listen to opera, and there have been a few interesting operas recently, so I am more addicted, but I am not busy with anything." What to do by himself, in fact, Li Er should know most of it, except for some things that Li Hao himself hires.
Li Er asked himself this, just to get confirmation from his own mouth, to know if he had a grudge or something. Li Hao naturally wouldn't say that he didn't eat this set, so he said something that Li Er wanted to hear to him.
"Something happened over there in Lingnan, and the minister of the DPRK proposed to let Zijia go over there to have a look, I don't know what Zijia thinks about himself?" Li Er didn't know whether he was satisfied with Li Hao's answer or dissatisfied, and then he told the reason why he called Li Hao over.
"The minister is from the north, and he is not suitable for the south, so can the minister not go?" Li Hao didn't accept Li Er's statement very happily this time like last time, he really didn't want to go.
If history has not changed, when Li Er hangs up and Gaozong ascends to the throne, there will be a rebellion on the Lingnan side, and then the Chen family father and son will go over there to do some business. But that will have to wait for decades, and I am afraid that Lingnan will not be able to wait now.
"After giving birth, what do you say at a young age is suitable or not? When I was young, I never went to the north and south of the river? Li Hao's words were prevaricated as soon as he heard them, and Li Er was still thinking about whether to let Li Hao go, but he didn't think about it, Li Hao didn't want to go at all.
"General Cheng, I'm young, but young people are more impulsive. After going down to Lingnan, the road is far away, and when there is some rumor that the court is going to discuss cutting off my head, I am still young and have not lived enough. β
Lao Cheng obviously knew Li Er's thoughts very well, and seeing that Li Hao didn't want to go, he immediately said Li Hao out loud. But I don't know that Li Hao doesn't eat this set at all, how long has it been since the matter in Tubo?
Now everyone here is a little embarrassed, and Li Er is even more annoyed and angry. Seeing that the old house on the side continued to fight like this, he was afraid that it would be unfavorable to Li Hao, so he hurriedly said, "You are doing things for the imperial court, how can the emperor and the ministers cut off your head?" β
"But it's a long way to Lingnan, what concerns do you have, why don't you discuss with us first to see if there is anything that needs help to deal with it, and then we can negotiate and then give a decision?"
Li Hao looked up at the old house, knowing that Li Er's expression was not good, and if he pulled it again, there might be no good fruit to eat. Li Hao no longer continued to dwell on the things in front of him, but asked the people in the room for benefits.
Li Hao has been the leader of the political and military affairs of Lingnan Province for ten years, and Li Hao has the final say on all the affairs of Lingnan Province, including the development, economy and education, as well as foreign affairs and the rights to deal with indigenous people. The imperial court can ask Li Hao about the reason and purpose, but it cannot interfere with Li Hao, let alone revoke Li Hao's rights because of the minister's accusation.
As soon as this request came out, the atmosphere in the whole room cooled down at once, and it was obvious that Li Hao had asked too much. Li Hao didn't care what the people in the room thought, without these things, he wouldn't have anything to do when he went to Lingnan, so he continued.
Li Hao only stayed in Lingnan Road for a maximum of 10 years, and after 10 years, he had to change places. During Li Hao's tenure, he must make every effort to improve the economy, culture and population of Lingnan, and completely solve the indigenous problems in Lingnan, so that Lingnan's strength can be upgraded to a higher level and become the new granary and back garden of Datang.
When the people in the room asked Li Hao how many soldiers he needed to bring over, he originally thought that Li Hao would open his mouth, but he didn't expect that Li Hao only needed 10,000 soldiers to go over. He also asked a few students from the Datang Military Academy, which had not been established for a long time, but the others did not ask for them.
Li Hao remembered that when the Chen father and son went to Lingnan Road, they only brought 5,000 soldiers over. Li Hao asked for 10,000 yuan, which was already half more than Chen's father and son. Then only 5,000 troops of the Chen family and his son can maintain the stability of Lingnan, and Li Hao, who has 10,000 soldiers, is naturally not afraid.
These 10,000 soldiers generally belong to the professional arms, and after arriving in Lingnan in the future, Li Hao can also recruit a group of people from the local area to be used as soldiers, maintain local stability, and can also be used as soldiers.
Li Hao didn't have many soldiers, and even a little less than Li Er's bottom line. In this way, the problems that Li Er was worried about did not exist at all, which made Li Er couldn't help but be suspicious, and he didn't know if Li Hao could handle Lingnan well.
Li Hao didn't explain these specific things, if he really wanted to pass, he had to make a huge plan first. Now to Li Er, it is roughly the same points, the clichΓ© content of encouraging population migration and childbirth, and how to do it, is definitely different.
However, from Li Hao's mouth, the most felt thing in this room is probably that there are going to be dead people in Lingnan, and many people will die, and it may be possible to kill people. This is the impression that Li Hao gave them, this guy has never known what it means to be soft on foreign races.
This time, all the people here guessed wrong, the people over there in Lingnan, Li Hao was not ready to open the killing ring. The most he wants to kill is around the Bai Barbarians and the Wu Man, and then add the natives of Linyi and other island countries that have crossed the sea, and the natives of Lingnan are still useful.
Because the large-scale development of Lingnan requires a large number of manpower, this Li Er can't give Li Hao, so Li Hao can only figure out a way by himself. So he really can't think of any good way to come out except to plunder the population. And if the local natives make their lives better, they won't actually make trouble.
Li Hao, the general who went to the south, didn't need any powerful generals, and there were no big battles to fight over there. The reason why the people from the Tang Royal Military Academy are used is because the people in this are all Li Erxin's people, and with these people, Li Er doesn't have to worry about Li Hao leading them to rebel.
"Lang Jun, has the matter of going south been decided?" After returning from the palace, Li Hao began to get busy. It's not because of the matter of going south, Li Er's side of going south has not yet been determined, including the manpower to be allocated to Li Hao at that time.
"Not yet, but I'm afraid I won't be able to run in the past, so the government has to prepare for my southward journey. Let's all follow them, this time, I'm afraid it will take several years to return to Chang'an. β
Whether it is Li Fu or Wushun, this should be regarded as the longest time Li Hao has left Chang'an. If you want to go back to Chang'an in the future, you have to get approval from here, otherwise Li Hao can't go back to Chang'an casually.
So whether it is Ruyan or Wanwan and Shi Qingxuan, these girls are all with Li Hao, so they naturally want to go over with them. For other things, Uncle Zhong's family and Comrade Xiao Wu have to help watch it together.
And before leaving, Li Hao still has a big thing to do, which has been discussed with Xiao Wu before, and Li Hao's industries, including the Fang family, the Li family, the Cheng family and Li Hao of Wu Wangfu, have all blown the wind.
Originally, he didn't expect to do it so soon, and Li Hao himself never thought that he would go to Lingnan. Therefore, if you want to do it, you must implement this matter before you go to Lingnan, so that these things will be much more convenient in the future.
"Brother-in-law, do you mean that the money bank can be officially launched?" Xiao Wu asked curiously after listening to Li Hao's words, Li Hao had mentioned this idea to her a long time ago, and the people of the complex money bank had also specially trained a group, just to wait for the day when the money bank was launched.
"Well, it's a bit rushed, but it doesn't matter. We've been training and testing all the people in-house for a while, and we're not afraid to roll them out now. If there are any problems in the future, you can slowly find them out and revise them slowly. β
