In May, Quanzhou, which is about to enter summer, is more prosperous. [This site has a new domain name. initials, previously registered accounts can still be used]

In the port that has been expanded several times, the fresh fish caught from the sea is disemboweled, the internal organs are taken out and put into the barrel and salted, and the layers are tightly sealed and stored, so that the seafood can be kept for several years without being bad, and there are thousands of barrels of seafood concocted every day, which are sold to all parts of Guanzhong.

In addition to fish, the rice of Fujian is also abundant, after conquering Zhangzhou, the army of Fujian opened up more than a thousand miles to the southeast, Tingzhou, Yanping, Lead Mountain and other places are all gathered in the arms, the land of Fujian in later generations is basically included in the rule, the hot climate, the rice of three crops per year, which has not yet entered the harvest season in June, there are already merchants from the North, Goryeo, and the Wa Kingdom are waiting in line to buy.

Tobacco, tea, spices and pearls of the South Seas are particularly sought-after.

The development of the territory has brought about a frenzy of immigration, in a few months, the pit is abducted, deceived and stolen, the means are all used, the population of the north such as Qidi is almost empty, and several counties in Guanzhong that are not strictly managed are also ten or three, Li Shimin began to be content with pleasure, the palace was repaired, and the people of Guanzhong who escaped labor abounded, and under the crazy immigration development, the population of Fujian broke through the 800,000 mark for the first time.

At the same time of economic and industrial development, the cultural industry has also not been missed, almost every day the big arena outside the city is bursting with joy, Hu Shang in the Western Regions, the Central Plains family, the Jiangnan wealthy family, every time they throw a thousand dollars to fight for wealth and boast, or the battle of will, the gladiatorial competition continues every day, in addition to Marseille, archery, the yellow sand of the gladiatorial arena is almost changed every day, because the blood of the gladiators is endless.

The prosperity of the Grand Arena also triggered a new industry slave hunting industry, many Central Plains rangers, Jiangnan Haoqiang from the Fujian State into Lingnan, attacking and plundering the slang tribes in the deep mountains, sultry tribes, not only robbing women, strong men are also the target of robbery, often the southwest ethnic group robbed the Tang people, but now it is just the opposite, fighting the Southwest Yi who was originally eyeing the Fujian State and complained bitterly, and the Lingnan Feng family has messengers to protest every day.

As a result, Xu Jingzong, the official chief of the Fujian State, was simply sent by Li Jie to deal with the envoy of Lingnan, the old guy is the son and daughter of Feng An, the Duke of Yueguo, and there is still a share of him in the arena, the old guy is shameless, even if the envoys of the various slang tribes cry like a peach.

On the other hand, it seems that he has really lost interest in political affairs, starting from taking a back seat, Lao Yang Yi is more interested in running a school, he can be said to be Li Jie's benefactor and teacher, for Lao Yang Yi, Li Jie also gave great support, and built a separate university for him in another corner away from the arena.

Or a wide wall, inside the green trees, three-storey bamboo buildings six distributed in it, there is also an artificial lake, dormitories, teaching buildings, canteens are readily available, the library's collection of books is almost inclusive of the Jiangnan family of each family of the unique book, you must know that since the Wuhu Chaohua, a large number of scholars moved south, the Jiangnan family has preserved more rare books since the Han Dynasty than in Guanzhong.

This alone attracted no math students from all over the Tang Dynasty to study, and the school was crowded, so that Li Jie finally had to come up with a trick of lack of morality, and the scholars who did not plan to be in Fujian were not opened, and the library treasures area was not opened, which dispelled the wave of scholars who swarmed in the scolding.

Rao is so, there are still a lot of scholars who do not hesitate to sell themselves for bachelors here, some foreign Confucians are also in the name of coming to the school to give lectures in the library, Zhenguan 23 years begins, the Fujian State that built Quanzhou University seems to be a civilized place, and it is no longer a barren land in the eyes of the world.

Recently, the Luzon colony developed by the Fujian State broke out even more than a thing, more than 100 government soldiers broke through two natives nests, found several tons of gold, countless jewels, deducted half as taxes, and the remaining gold was all minted into gold coins by the King of Min and rewarded back, a gold coin is equal to dozens of runs, and a hundred government soldiers really made a night of getting rich.

Accepted the gems, the king of Min also rewarded them with the honorary title of Taiping squire, and the good and cheap system since the Wei and Jin dynasties is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is equivalent to granting these soldiers the status of soldiers in disguise.

Looking at the gold coins sent to the ship by beating gongs and drums, my eyes are red! What a heartbeat! I don't know how many people in the Central Plains who had just immigrated to Fujian not long ago, and with a heart to get ahead and get rich, they went to Luzon with the Fujian fleet.

It seems to be all the best inside and out.

Li Jie was unhappy and irritable.

In King Min's study, leaning quietly on the recliner with his arms on his pillow, Li Jie half-closed his eyes, but in front of his desk were two capable warriors dressed in black, Xue Zhiguan and Hattori Hanzo, on the other end, Wu Meiniang was sipping tea and listening slowly, but judging from her frowning brows, the news was definitely not good.

"At the beginning of May, Sikong Fang Xuanling died of illness and Yuhua Palace, His Majesty personally held hands to say goodbye, on May 6, Xiao Yu, the head of the household Shangshu Song Guogong, was also sick and Yuhua Palace, the cause should be the blow of the death of the old queen Xiao half a year ago, and now the left servant of Shangshu Province shoots the eldest grandson Wuji's family, because the eldest grandson Wuji suppressed, the official Shangshu Yang Shidao was demoted, and he was also seriously ill, I am afraid that he will not be able to stand in June."

Now Hattori Hanzo's Chinese has been spoken very distantly, and it is no different from the average Min people, listening to his fluent report, Wu Meiniang's brows have been wrinkled to the extreme, Li Jie also sighed deeply, compared to the prosperity of Fujian, it is simply a big black in politics, and the big cards that can be used in the center are directly emptied.

In the court, Li Jie's power has lost more than half with the loss of the cotton textile guild, although the crown prince Li Zhi did not get good fruits to eat, but after all, his princely advantage is there, and after several years of tug-of-war, many ministers in the court have been brought together with him, and even the eldest grandson Wuji has completely fallen to Li Zhi.

"Alas, it's still not charismatic enough, even my father-in-law didn't take a fancy to this king." Rubbing the corners of his forehead, Li Jie finally opened his eyes, sat up helplessly and asked, "How is Your Majesty's body?" ”

"Your Majesty's health is not too good, but under the supervision of Doctor Sun, I haven't taken any more pills or anything." Hattori Hanzo was still so expressionless, and replied muffled with a black mask, but it could be regarded as a relief to Li Jie.

"That's okay, as long as Your Majesty is here, the crown prince and my good father-in-law won't be able to make too many waves after all."

"But that's not the way to do it now! Now whether it is the prince or the eldest grandson's family united in the surrounding Guanzhong family, they have begun to resist our Fujian country, set up cards everywhere in Guanzhong, and levy heavy taxes on the commercial houses of the Fujian Palace. ”

Passive beating has never been Wu Meiniang's style, raising her eyebrows, Wu Meiniang's fist slammed on the desk and stood up, accustomed to the strength of the Iron Lady, Li Jie rubbed his forehead and didn't say anything for a while, and on the other hand, hesitating, Xue Zhiguan stood up again.

"Why don't I go and talk to the eldest grandson? After all, the incident back then still has an impact on the current eldest grandson Wuji. ”

"Nope." Before Xue Zhiguan finished speaking, Li Jie had already waved his hand and refused: "Lone is still a man, so you don't need to use Luo'er as a bargaining chip." ”

The eldest grandson? A trace of surprise flashed in Wu Meiniang's eyes, but after all, it was Wu Meiniang, who knew that those who shouldn't ask should be shut up, so she directly left this matter behind, and she pressed her hands on the table again and admonished: "Then it's better to take a trip to Guanzhong with the concubine, thanks to the blessing of Qin Qing's sister, the Guanlong family still has some connections, and the concubine can also make a difference." ”

Holding his chin and thinking for a while, Li Jie finally nodded: "Pay attention to safety, Li Zhi may still have other plans for you." ”

"Lang Jun rest assured!"

After explaining things clearly, Wu Meiniang went out with the two intelligence leaders to prepare to go, but before Li Jie's boredom disappeared, Wang Wei came in with Wen Mu.

"Your Royal Highness, the official letter from the Luzon Governor's Mansion, Governor Yang Yucheng requested another 10,000 stone of grain, the recent immigration trend is too strong, and the Luzon Governor's Mansion is already a little unbearable."

When it came to Yang Yucheng, Li Jie rubbed his forehead helplessly, it was really annoying one after another, the Luzon Governor's Mansion had just been operational, and it was inseparable from him, at this time Yang Yucheng's father Yang Shidao was still seriously ill, even if he was a concubine, according to the law, Yang Yucheng also needed to go back to Ding Wei, not to mention that Yang Yucheng was still a filial son.

"Master Yang Daogong is seriously ill."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Wei really made a bitter face, and said in a tangled manner: "It's bad now, otherwise, take advantage of the news to come over, and hide it first?" ”

"No, if you do this, who will be loyal to Gu in the future, even if you can hide it for a while, Yang Qing will still centrifuge after knowing it!" Frowning, Li Jie rejected Wang Wei's suggestion.

"Then think about changing the battle, how can we find a ...... who has enough prestige and enough to know Luzon now?"

Listening to Wang Wei's distressed self-talk, Li Jie hesitated, but stood up according to the table: "In this way, whether it is Xiao Gong or Yang Gong, they are all very kind to our Fujian country, all the gold handed over by Luzon will be sent back, and a skilled craftsman will be hired to erect a ten-zhang marble statue for the second public statue on Luzon Island, and let Yang Yucheng supervise the construction, so that his sorrow and reputation can also be completed." ”

"Well, that's all it can be." At the thought of paying more than ten tons of gold, Wang Wei, the great housekeeper of Fujian, couldn't help grinning.

After dealing with Luzon, Wang Wei also went out to run errands, and the study became quiet, leaving Li Jie alone, just wanted to call Fan Lijia to make himself a cup of tea, but Li Jie remembered again that he gave this kid a day off and asked him to accompany his sister to the street to play again.

With a wry smile, he got up and found the black tea, picked up the kettle on the coal stove and filled it with a cup, and before he could drink it, there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the door, and after a while, it was Fan Lijia who walked in with a red eye in his arms, and he had been Li Jie's secretary for more than a year, this was the first time, and he didn't open the official document for the first time, Li Jie raised his head strangely and asked, "Lijia, what's wrong?" ”

"King of Fujian, Linyi, Linyi came to report, the minister of the country usurped the throne, killed, killed all the royal family of Linyi, King Yangmai died in the country occupying the city, Linyi was in turmoil, and the people of Fujian asked for help."

couldn't hold back any longer, Fan Lijia's whole body trembled violently, and after listening to his report, Li Jie himself did it with his eyes straightened.

"It's really a wave of unsettled, a wave of rising waves!".
