The next day, Li Su had breakfast with everyone, and left Jinzhou under the fierce send-off, heading for Yizhou.

Li Su rode the carriage of the red boy and Cui Yingying, and got along with each other day and night for more than ten days, and the two of them did not have the same life as they did at the beginning, but they looked like husband and wife between laughter and laughter.

Looking back at Tong Meng, who was standing in the distance and still refused to leave, Cui Yingying looked at Li Su with a smile: "Your Royal Highness is really good at buying people's hearts, in a few words, a little favor will make a post general obedient to you, thank Dade." โ€

"How do you know it's buying people's hearts?" Li Su was a little surprised, this girl knows a lot.

Cui Yingying snorted softly: "Your Highness, are I one of those women who don't know poetry and books?" Besides, my father is a servant, I have seen a lot of these methods, if His Royal Highness just sympathizes with the post general, just go to a letter, why bother to be enthusiastic, and inquire about the operation of this post station, and later care about the business situation of the post general, and greet his family. โ€

Cui Yingying pointed out one by one, so that Li Su couldn't argue, he said: "That's right, I have an idea, I want to take charge of the post station on the road from Guanzhong to Yizhou in my own hands, so that our contact with Chang'an will be much easier, what do you think?" โ€

Cui Yingying propped her arm on the window, supported her cheek with one hand, and thought for a while: "It's just that on this road, the post stations we pass by have to be up and down a hundred, and how much food does it cost to support it!" โ€

"I asked that one fiercely, a post station is only about 1,000 yuan a year, and a hundred is only a hundred thousand, which is just a drop in the bucket for us!"

Li Su opened his mouth for more than 100,000 yuan as if he was understatement, Cui Yingying's eyes rolled, and she said softly: "Your Highness, how much money do we have now?" โ€

"Four or five million times!" It's all a family, Li Su didn't think about anything, and blurted out.

Cui Yingying was stunned for a moment, she knew that Li Su had done some business in Chang'an City, but she didn't expect to accumulate such a huge wealth in such a short time, she was stunned for a moment, she said: "Your Highness, my mother taught me, saying that the husband and wife should work together, one outside the main and one inside, after His Royal Highness arrived in Yizhou, he must be busy with government affairs, and these things like money and silk will be taken care of by Yingying, so as not to distract His Highness!" After speaking, he stared at Li Su with clear eyes.

Li Su suddenly felt fooled, this Xiao Ni was waiting for him here, and he was only a few days old and began to prepare to take over the family's financial power, but Cui Yingying said that this is the part, and the big reason has also been laid out, he can't say no with a shy face, after all, the male protagonist and the female protagonist are the fine traditions of the Chinese nation that have been passed down for thousands of years, "You are now the princess of Shu, can you still not listen to what you say?" โ€

"Yes!" Cui Yingying was proud, Li Su didn't say it explicitly, but it can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

It was another three days of carriage and horses, at noon on the third day, everyone saw the towering city in front of them, although the scale of Yizhou City can not be compared with Chang'an, but it is also the largest and most populous city in Shudi, according to relevant statistics, the number of households in Jiannan Road at that time, a total of about 670,000, and the population of Yizhou City alone has 100,000 households, that is, 500,000 people, which does not include the fourteen county towns around Yizhou City.

Seeing Yizhou City, everyone was overjoyed, and a long-lost smile appeared on their faces, Li Su called Qin Huaiyu to hand him a gold ribbon containing a copper fish talisman, which was the identity certificate of the officials of the Tang Dynasty, and only by showing this could they prove their identity.

Qin Huaiyu took the bronze fish talisman and took the four guards to ride their horses to Yizhou City first, while Li Su walked slowly with the team, and when he arrived at the gate of the city, he had to wait.

Hearing the movement outside, Cui Yingying opened the curtains, looked at it and put it down, Cui Shao's words were still in his ears before leaving, Shu has been a place of exile for unambitious officials since the Sui Dynasty, Shu is fertile, and enjoys the reputation of the country of abundance, but the Tang people's view of Shu is not good, this is all because of the customs and customs of Shu at that time, which can be summed up as the people are more indulged in pleasure, people are cold, the poor do not want to save food, the rich people are good at profiting and encroaching on each other, and some rich people in the border fields often collude with the barbarians in the mountains, The wolf bรจi is a traitor, and secretly controls zhรฌ prefecture and county.

Cui Shao believes that the reason why Li Shimin let Li Su come here is to rectify the Shu land, change customs, and truly turn this place into a country of abundance, but also to block the courtiers' leisurely mouth, Emperor Wen of Sui in order to prevent his four sons from rebelling, the four sons were named the king of Shu, when Li Yuan was in power, he also promised Li Shimin to let Li Jiancheng be the king of Shu, the reason is that Shu is narrow and easy to check and balance, so at this time, people agree that this place of Shu is particularly suitable for preventing those princes who intend to rebel. This is also the reason why Li Shimin's decision has not been opposed by anyone.

Qin Huaiyu came back after a while, and he informed the Yizhou Assassin Shi, and now they were waiting for Li Su at the door with officials.

At the gate of Yizhou City, Yizhou Assassin Shi Gaoquan, Changshi Cheng Jian, and Sima Wang Longyin stood together, looking at the slowly marching procession not far away, they had received an order from the imperial court a few days earlier, knowing that His Royal Highness the King of Shu would arrive in Yizhou soon.

For a long time, Yizhou did not come to this noble official, although he heard from the post that the prince was reprimanded, but he still did not dare to slack off, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, not to mention, the document also specifically explained that the military and political affairs of Yizhou are under his control, if it is only government affairs, his waist can be straightened up, but this King of Shu still has military power in his hands, it is not a joke, how can he also mix in the officialdom for decades, and he also has some ears and eyes in Chang'an, this Li Su is afraid that the person who comes is not good.

Cheng Jian, the long history standing next to him, looked thoughtful, Yizhou is the center of Shu, where the prosperity is, and it is common to receive money on weekdays, although he helped Gao Quan make a fake account a few days ago, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no mistakes, if this King of Shu is an honest and honest person, they will be in trouble.

Compared with Gao Quan and Cheng Jian, Wang Longyin has a relaxed look, Gao Quan and Cheng Jian are both from local wealthy families, and they cover the sky with one hand in Yizhou, and he is from the Hanmen Imperial Examination, although he was arranged in the name of Sima, but there is no Sima, Gao Quan discussed everything with Cheng Jian, and he has been excluded, he is also a native of Chang'an, and the King of Shu came here to serve, but he has a sense of closeness, so although his face is calm, his heart is very happy.

The three of them had their own thoughts, and at this time, Li Su's team was gradually approaching and had arrived in front of him, and Li Su jumped off the horse and walked forward.
