This is also Li Hao's purpose, but no one can say how these things will develop in the future. Some of Li Hao's students will selectively send some to these places according to their own volition.

Their task is very simple, to develop these places, and then guide those who have been exiled to slowly make certain changes, and then make the glory of the Tang people spread all over the world.

The Tang Dynasty was also subject to relevant policies, and all colonies except for officials and those who worked in the past could take leave or rotate back to the Tang Dynasty, and exiled people were not included in this permission.

All exiled people, unless they have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, can return to China with the approval of local officials and the imperial court. The other is people who have good academic performance and have made achievements in a certain aspect, or technicians who have made new inventions and new creations, which can apply to live in China. The purpose of this strategy is to keep the best talents in Datang as much as possible.

After cleaning up the situation on the Jiangnan side of the province, Li Hao did not go back to Chang'an immediately, he wanted to stay in Hangzhou for a while. In addition to developing Hangzhou Prefecture and solving the problems of Jiangnan Province, there is also a coastal defense of the Qiantang River that needs his attention.

This is a huge project, much bigger than previous projects. Moreover, this project is completely a project with no profits, this is a big official project, and it is completely carried out by the imperial court.

Li Hao stayed here, in addition to watching those people do things, more importantly, he also needed to ensure that the project could be carried out smoothly and perfectly. In recent years, the imperial court has done many water conservancy projects across the country, such as the Yangtze River, such as the Yellow River, as well as water conservancy protection projects in the Dongting Lake basin and other waters.

These projects have achieved great results, not only adding a lot of fertile land to Datang, but also creating a lot of beautiful scenery for Datang. In particular, the protection of the Yellow River basin has greatly reduced the annual flooding of this river.

If this continues, Li Hao feels that it is very likely that the Yellow River will not become a disaster in the future, and there will be no bowl of water and half a bowl of sand. Because now the upper reaches of the Yellow River are all within the scope of the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court has deliberately made some protective measures for these places.

It's just that these are water conservancy projects in inland rivers and lakes, which are different from Haiphong. For this reason, Li Hao deliberately spent points to systematically replace the coastal defense projects of various dynasties in history, and then combined them to make the plan for the current big project. It is ready to spend millions of people, use reinforced concrete, and add boulders to build this coastal defense very strong.

Even if it can't benefit generations like Dujiangyan, at least it is guaranteed that these projects can benefit this side for more than a few hundred years. This is the result that all public welfare projects in Datang aspire to, so each project will be repeatedly verified and discussed, compared to those tofu scum projects in later generations.

The specific implementation of the project is definitely not handled by Li Hao, he is only responsible for managing the general, and someone is naturally responsible for other things. So in addition to tossing the matter of coastal defense, he is now also preparing to engage in some national entertainment to come out and have fun.

Since the beginning of Datang Business News, there are now several more newspapers in Datang. Southern Weekly, Xiangnan Times, Datang Business Daily, Datang Spiegel Daily, as well as Northern Times, Yanyun Daily, Western Regions Weekly, and Annan Weekly have all followed. The Tang Dynasty began to enter the era of paper media, and the imperial court also made special management and guidance for these things.

These things are not managed reasonably, and once they are used by people with intentions, this is a big killer. The officials of the imperial court had read the newspapers for several years, and they had a very clear grasp of some of the characteristics of this thing, so they naturally wanted to take control of these things.

With the enrichment of paper media, some entertainment activities should also be carried out at this time. Li Hao thinks that there is a lot of money, so there is naturally a place to spend money, and his entertainment career has already met the conditions for a big deal after several years of market cultivation, as long as he is willing to throw money into it, it is normal to smash some results.

And due to the large number of applications of cement roads and four-wheeled carriages, the travel time in various parts of Datang has also been shortened a lot, so national entertainment competitions can come out. In view of this, in the new year, Li Hao, together with Datang Nightclub, Datang Chamber of Commerce, Datang Royal Fund Management Association, as well as several Datang media news and various entertainment competitions launched by the Datang government.

As a person who loves to eat, and he is also the top chef god of Datang, how can there be less food? Although almost all the famous dishes in restaurants around the world are from the restaurants of Li Mansion, it does not rule out that there are still masters who are living among the people.

And the purpose of Li Hao's food competition is to dig out these people, and by the way, some delicacies in Datang that he has not eaten are also made, and then make a special food recommendation book and publish it. This can not only promote the food of Datang, but also activate the economic development of various places.

So the first thing to appear was the gourmet cooking competition, as soon as this idea came out, even Li Ke was moved, and even added a condition to enter, and the top ten chefs could choose to work in the imperial dining room.

The resolution of the new emperor Li Ke on the second women's flower singing competition was published in the five Datang media at the same time, and an announcement was issued at the same time, saying that the imperial court was going to hold the first Datang God of Food Competition in Hangzhou, Li Hao was the chief referee, and all chefs were welcome to participate.

At that time, the top 10 will not only have rich prizes, but also arrange public office to join the royal dining room and enjoy official treatment, while the top 30 can only arrange public office to join the Datang imperial dining room and enjoy general staff treatment. Other participants will also receive a small fortune and travel expenses.

As soon as this event was announced, the entire Datang was full of discussions. Originally, they only knew that they could take the top prize in the imperial examination, but now even chefs can enter the imperial dining room of the palace to work as officials through their cooking skills. For some people, it seems that in addition to the imperial examination, there is another way out.

Others want to oppose it, but they can't find any reason to come out. As the most powerful chef in Datang, isn't it appropriate to work in the imperial dining room? And the Imperial Dining Room is not an official position that requires talent, isn't it just the person who knows the best at cooking to serve?

Or is it not possible for Li Ke, as the emperor, to ask someone who can cook to be a chef? And some families or officials who wanted to oppose it all shut up at this time. Although Li Ke is not as good as Li Er, he is not a person to mess with, and those officials in Jiangnan Province are proof of this.

Now there are too many lands occupied by some families and tycoons in the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court is interested in killing some guys and making these places empty. In addition, those colonies are short of people, and now these people want to commit crimes, and they have to weigh whether they are enough to be tossed.

Therefore, after the dissemination of various paper media, Hangzhou soon ushered in a population peak. Because the travel time in various parts of Datang has been shortened a lot, the time for holding an event has also been shortened a lot.

Although Li Ke, the god of cooking, intervened, he gave all the power to Li Hao. In the area of food, only Li Hao is really able to judge in his heart, and no one opposes this at the top of Datang.

The current high-level leaders of Datang are all old people left by Li Er, and most of them have a relationship with Li Hao, and they have eaten all the things of Li Hao's family, and they naturally know whether they are good or not.

In addition, Li Hao has an official position and can also serve as a representative of the imperial court. You must know that this cooking competition is also semi-official, and the official will naturally send representatives to participate.

The whole cooking competition is not a one-item competition, but is divided into several parts, such as dim sum, snacks, noodles and porridge, and various dishes. The competition is not divided into north and south, everyone must first pass Li Hao's preliminary assessment in restaurants around the country before they can come to Hangzhou to compete, and the round-trip fees for those who pass the preliminary assessment are provided by the organizer.

In addition to this, those who do spice and food processing workshops can advertise packages by bidding for campaign contests. This is the advertising model of later generations, although there is no video broadcast, but the winning bidder can not only display their products in the arena, but also appear on several major paper media in Datang.

All costs of bidding for advertising include the awarding of prizes, in addition to the cost of the competition. And the winners can not only get rich prizes and the opportunity to be officials, but also have a more important benefit.

That is, to obtain the food or cooking certification officially recognized by Datang, and go back to make your own restaurant food in the future, you will get certain preferential treatment in taxes. In addition, it will be announced in Datang's main paper media, so that everyone in the world will know.

Those who came to participate in the competition can know the benefits of this Li Hao doesn't know, but many people in Datang now know the benefits of advertising in newspapers and magazines, and it is officially recognized, which is also an extremely honorable recognition for these people.

"Brother Xian, isn't it a bit unprofessional for us to engage in this competition?" For Fang Er, this guy doesn't seem to understand Li Hao's approach, and he always feels that this is a bit unprofessional.

"You are wrong, the people take food as the sky, and no one in this world can do without food. The development of this food culture can also bring visible benefits and changes to Datang. For example, in Hangzhou now, because of the holding of the cooking competition, how many people came here to see the excitement? How much do these people spend on eating, drinking, and living in the city every day? This is not counting the various expenses such as going to West Lake after they come here. ”

Fang Er's knowledge is much worse than Li Ke's, and Li Ke doesn't need Li Hao's explanation to understand the benefits now. This kind of competition will undoubtedly have great benefits for Hangzhou Mansion, and it can also promote the various beauties of Hangzhou Mansion now. If this kind of good thing wasn't handled by Li Hao here, would it be the turn of Hangzhou Mansion? 5610
