"Chengbo, you are five years old, and in front of your younger siblings, you have to be a role model, you know."

Li Rupei's expression was serious, looking at Li Chengbo and Li Huilin standing in front of him, as well as Li Yukun held by Yu Yurong and Li Zhihuan held by Yu Lianhan, of course, Cui Hanlei and Cui Qiuyue were beside them.

Li Huilin is the daughter of Cui Qiuyue, born in September of the third year of Zhonghe, Li Yukun is the son of Yu Yurong, born on the third day of March in the fourth year of Zhonghe, and Li Zhihuan is the daughter of Yu Lianhan, born on June 12 of the fourth year of Zhonghe.

Li Rupei already has four children, and each of his wives has given birth to children, which makes the palace particularly lively, and each child is taken care of by a large group of people, including wet nurses, maids, etc., each child is held in the palm of his hand, Li Rupei was very opposed to this, but unfortunately his opposition has no effect.

Li Rupei completely lost confidence in the emperor in the capital, the emperor ascended the throne in 873, the second year of his accession to the throne was changed to Yuan Qianfu, 880 to Yuan Guangming, 881 to Yuan Zhonghe, to this year in 885, and then changed to Yuan Guangqi. This made Li Rupei a little speechless, the emperor has only been on the throne for thirteen years, and he has changed four era names, such a child's playful behavior means the decline of the dynasty, think about Emperor Taizong, it is a Zhenguan era name, but it is powerful.

Li Rupei's four children, the eldest son Li Chengbo is five years old, the second daughter Li Huilin is three years old, the youngest son Li Yukun is not long old, and the youngest daughter Li Zhihuan is not yet old.

Speaking of it, it was bitter Yu Yurong and Yu Lianhan, the two of them had been married to Li Rupei for three years, and they had never been pregnant, and they didn't know how many times they cried in private, even Li Rupei himself didn't feel like it was a taste, and later through some efforts, Yu Yurong and Yu Lianhan were actually pregnant one after another, looking at the happy appearance of the two girls, Li Rupei was miserable. He finally knew why there were so many women in the emperor, but he couldn't take care of them, men's energy and physical strength were limited, and if there were too many women, men would die on women's bellies sooner or later.

Things can't be excessive, just natural, this is Li Rupei's biggest feeling, and in the palace, Li Rupei has also prepared a lot of panacea. said that it nourishes the body, Li Rupei never touches these things.

Li Rupei is actually very hard, the place under his control is big, and there are naturally more and more problems, including Cui Anqian, Liu Yunzhang and others, who always don't understand why Li Rupei has been delayed in developing in the north, and later when governing Lingnan Road and Qianzhong Road and other places, they finally understood what Li Rupei insisted on.

Cui Anqian and Liu Yunzhang and others. It has been suggested that in the face of remote areas in Lingnan Province, including places where ethnic minorities gather, such as Nanzhao and Annam, local self-knowledge should be implemented. This is the same as the imperial court's policy towards the Turks, Hui and other places, that is, to arrange the local wealthy family to control, which can save a lot of money and avoid the lack of talents. If you want to control places like Nanzhao and Annam, you must invest a lot of manpower and financial resources, and you need troops to be stationed. And it takes a short time to achieve the effect, and if the operation is slightly inattentive, it may cause contradictions, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Li Rupei resolutely disagreed with this, he believed that it was necessary to seriously govern these places, even if it cost a lot of money, to let these places be governed by the imperial court, and it was necessary to send capable officials to these places, and at the same time to relocate some people to live in these places, integrate with the locals, and instill many etiquette into these places.

Li Rupei not only thinks like this, but also does this, for example, in the place of Nanzhao, Li Rupei made a ruthless move, the magnates of Nanzhao have long been completely wiped out by the iron-blooded army, and the Daxing Taifu of Nanfang Province sent a large number of officials to govern, and the Daxing Taifu also introduced a lot of preferential policies to encourage the people to go to Nanzhao to cultivate the land and settle down there forever.

It takes a lot of investment to make the Taiwan government bigger in this way, and if it weren't for the abundance of money and food, it would not have been possible to do it at all.

There is also Annan, which is too far away from Xiangyang, Li Rupei did not let go, asked to spend a lot of effort to govern, and also sent a large number of officials to encourage the people to settle in Annan and so on.

The most prominent is that Hainan Island belongs to Yazhou, Danzhou, Zhenzhou, Wanzhou, Qiongzhou, and Liuqiu, these places belong to the most remote places, even when the Tang Dynasty was in its heyday, almost did not pay attention to these places, the court officials were degraded and exiled, at most to Lingnan, it is a very serious punishment, but few go to Liuqiu or Hainan Island, to those places means death.

Li Rupei attaches great importance to these places, and has also made mandatory provisions, all officials who are willing to take the initiative to go to Hainan Island and Liuqiu to take up posts, the Daxing Taiwan Government will make a special record, and the officials can make achievements in these places, so that the people can get peace, three years later, they will be directly promoted, and there is no need for the Daxing Taiwan Government to re-evaluate, and the officials who serve in these posts are three times as much as those in the mainland, and the people are willing to take the initiative to move to these places, and the Daxing Taiwan Government will directly give subsidies on money and grain. The subsidy will last for three years, and as for the allocation of cultivated land, it is more preferential than that in the mainland.

In order to govern Hainan Island and Liuqiu well, it is not enough to rely on the ability of officials and the migration of the people, but also to have smooth sea navigation.

These ships are directly built and managed by the government, and they do not seek to make money, as long as they facilitate the transportation of Hainan Island, Liuqiu and other places in the interior.

Li Rupei's actions made Cui Anqian, Liu Yunzhang and others completely understand that every inch of land and every person in the Tang Dynasty is important in Li Rupei's eyes, no matter how remote the place, you must feel the warmth of the imperial court, and the people in these places must live a good life.

It is no wonder that Li Rupei has been slow to develop towards the north, if he develops according to such a situation, he will need to spend more energy and money to govern Tubo, Turkic, Longyou Dao, Hebei Dao and other places in the future.

Cui Anqian, Liu Yunzhang and others were shocked by Li Rupei's ambition, and they felt a kind of mind that had never appeared before.

"Husband, Chengbo has performed well, and he is very well-behaved in front of his husband."

Cui Hanlei was a little unhappy when she saw Li Rupei teaching Li Chengbo a lesson.

The palace is very harmonious, this is also because there are only four women around Li Rupei, and the identities of the four women are clear, Cui Hanlei is the princess, and her son Li Chengbo has been determined to become Li Rupei's heir, so the status is very stable, no one can shake and violate, followed by Cui Qiuyue, because she is Cui Hanlei's personal maid, followed by the light, the status is ranked second, Yu Yurong and Yu Lianhan's identities are the same, and they are also the identities of the side room.

The status of women is clear, it is easy to get along harmoniously, plus Cui Hanlei's cultivation is very good, there are not many women in the palace, there is little trouble in management, and more importantly, Yu Yurong and Yu Lianhan also know a lot of rules, they are very cautious, and the palace is naturally harmonious.

Cui Hanlei used to be a little worried, Li Rupei is the king of blessing, ranking above the kings, such a noble identity, there are only four women around her, how can she say it, she once asked for Li Rupei to marry a concubine, but she was reprimanded mercilessly by Li Rupei, although she cried aggrieved at the time, but Cui Hanlei's heart is extremely sweet, the fewer women around her husband, the more relieved Cui Hanlei is, this is for sure.

The only thing that made Cui Hanlei uncomfortable was that Li Rupei was strict with Li Chengbo.

Li Huilin can be coquettish in front of Li Rupei, and even ask to ride a horse, and when she is wronged, she will hide in Li Rupei's arms and cry, but Li Chengbo just can't do it, Cui Hanlei also knows that Li Huilin is a girl, and Li Chengbo is naturally different, but when she sees such a situation, she always feels uncomfortable.

Seeing that Cui Hanlei's face was not very good, Li Rupei secretly sighed.

"Madam, Cheng Bo will inherit a certain career in the future, a certain requirements for Cheng Bo are naturally stricter, Cheng Bo can not be smiling, let alone have bad conduct, a certain does not object to you love Cheng Bo, but a certain does not approve of you doting on Cheng Bo, for example, this thing of dressing and eating, you can do it yourself, so you can also take the lead for your younger brothers and sisters, no matter how busy you are, as long as you don't leave Xiangyang, you have to go home every day, and you have to ask Cheng Bo about the situation, which is also for Cheng Bo to see."

"Chengbo is still young, his parents are around, he is naturally happy, including Hui Lin, Yukun and Zhihuan have grown up, they love each other, they go home every day, accompany the children, and do this, which is to teach by word and deed."

"When I was in the palace, I was able to do what I could do, and I even bathed Chengbo, just to tell Chengbo that parents all over the world love their children."

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law sometimes dote on Chengbo too much, which is not conducive to Chengbo's growth, a certain will not be demanding of Chengbo's subtleties, but there is one thing that Chengbo must understand, what can be done, what can not be done, even if the status is extremely noble, can not do what can not be done."

"Right and wrong, good or bad, Chengbo must understand, courtesy, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and faith, all are indispensable, only in this way, Chengbo will be able to take on great responsibilities in the future, Chengbo's younger brothers and sisters are not many, brothers and sisters must be united and friendly, so that the family can prosper."

"These words, I have said many times, Cheng Bo may not understand very well, but one day it will be clear, Cheng Bo is five years old, he is a little man, and the requirements must be stricter." (To be continued......)
