Coming to Lingnan Road, Li Rupei has a lot of tasks, he first has to go to the wharf to see, Lingnan Road has two most important wharves, one is not far from Guangzhou Mansion, belongs to the most important trade wharf, a large number of overseas businessmen are through this wharf, enter the Tang Dynasty for business transactions, this wharf has set up a special city shipping department, jurisdiction over overseas trade, the city shipping department is directly under the jurisdiction of the Jie Du Yamen, all the tax income, also belongs to the Jie Du Yamen.

The rules of overseas trade, the Southern Province Daxing Taifu has a clear regulation, after the city port in the wharf to levy taxes, into the mainland trade, no longer levy taxes, this has been greatly praised by overseas merchants, but also one of the important reasons why overseas trade can flourish rapidly in Guangzhou.

Another wharf, located in Rongzhou, is the wharf to Hainan Island, this wharf is completely supported by the government, the value of commerce and trade is not very large, if it were not for Li Rupei's insistence, it would be impossible to build a wharf controlled by the government here.

Li Rupei also had to go to Annan and Nanzhao to have a look.

In the second year of Fu Qian, that is, in 875, Gao Biao once defeated Nanzhao, and asked Nanzhao Wang Bixin to send his son to the capital Chang'an as a hostage, but later because of the Huangchao rebellion, the south was in chaos, and Gao Biao mainly went to deal with Huangchao, and Nanzhao took advantage of this opportunity to slowly recover.

However, after Li Rupei commanded Lingnan Dao, the Iron Blood Army was ordered to conquer Nanzhao, captured the king of Nanzhao, and sent it to Xiangyang, the Iron Blood Army controlled all the territory of Nanzhao, and the Southern Dao Daxingtai Prefecture divided Nanzhao into three states, and sent officials to govern them, and at the same time moved a part of the people into Nanzhao.

The government strictly governed local affairs in strict accordance with the requirements of the Daxingtai Mansion and the Jiedu Envoy Yamen, and never allowed the occurrence of contempt for the minority and the humiliation of the ethnic minorities. The people, who had stabilized, began to support the rule of the government.

Of course, Li Rupei's measures have met with opposition, after all, the Daxing Taiwan government has invested a lot of money, so far, although the situation in Nanzhao has basically calmed down, but there are still officials who believe that such a large investment in the remote places of Nanzhao is not cost-effective, and after the officials arrive in Nanzhao. There are too many taboos, and it is far less comfortable than in the mainland.

As for Annan, in the past, the imperial court set up an envoy here, and after the iron-blooded army controlled Lingnan Road, many of the envoys and envoys were all revoked, leaving only the envoy of Lingnan Jiedu.

The Daxingtai Mansion and the Jiedu made the yamen also invest important forces here.

This is also why Cui Shenyou always says that there are not enough people and always says that there are a lot of things, and the situation in Lingnan Road and other places is indeed a little different. Nanzhao and Annan were all under the direct jurisdiction of the Yamen.

Others don't know, Li Rupei who crossed is very clear, Annam is Vietnam after a thousand years, if he Li Rupei does not cross. In another twenty years, Annan will become independent, followed by Nanzhao, which includes parts of Thailand and Myanmar after a thousand years. Li Rupei didn't think that the bigger the territory, the better. But he has a basic bottom line, that is, the territory that currently belongs to Datang cannot be less. The territory that does not belong to the Tang Dynasty will not be forcibly occupied.

After eating, Cui Shenyou accompanied Li Rupei around the city of Guangzhou.

Taking advantage of this time, Cui Shenyou began to talk about the five surnames and seven wangs, and he said it in more detail.

Li Rupei was a little strange, he came to Lingnan Road to inspect, what he wanted to know was the situation of Lingnan Road, wandering after dinner, he was able to talk about the affairs of Lingnan Road in a very relaxed environment, including the existing problems, etc., what needs to be solved, but Cui Shenyou talked about the affairs of famous families, what does this mean.

Although he didn't understand a little, Li Rupei was still very patient, and after Cui Shenyou finished speaking, he followed and spoke.

"Five surnames and seven wangs, including the four surnames in Guanzhong, these are all famous families, to tell the truth, the Li Tang royal family, as a famous family, is the division of Taizong, compared with the rest of the famous families, there is still a big gap, this must be admitted, whether it is from the inheritance of family style, or cultural accomplishment, there are deficiencies, from those real famous families, often can be independent, but also can show the inheritance and glory of the family, a certain admit this, but the famous family, There are also many problems that need to be improved, such as resting on one's laurels, always holding the golden sign of a famous family, Lao Tzu is the first in the world, unwilling to look at those rising forces, and unwilling to admit their own gradual decline, which is a big problem, if it can not be improved, then the decline will become inevitable. ”

Cui Shenyou looked at Li Rupei, with a shocked look on his face, although there are a lot of discussions among the people, thinking that the Li Tang royal family as a famous family, it is not very suitable, but the Li Tang royal family will never admit it, but instead depress other famous families, so that the Li Tang royal family becomes the largest family in the world, those meritorious generals, festival envoys, etc., were given the surname Li, it can be seen that Li Rupei, as a prince, did not hesitate to admit the existence of the gap, which is already remarkable, compared with those high-ranking famous families, I don't know how many victories have won, I believe that after hearing Li Rupei's words, many famous families will have a serious sense of crisis, that is, the Li Tang royal family may really surpass them.

"The prince has such a mind, I really didn't expect it, just say that this Qinghe Cui family, inherited to the present, has also experienced many twists and turns, and today's Qinghe Cui family has become the envy of many famous families, all because of the prince."

Li Rupei looked at Cui Shenyou and spoke lightly.

"The height is not cold, you are not welcome, those famous families, only see others eat meat, do not see others being beaten, at the beginning of a certain is not what it is now, got the care and support of the father-in-law, uncle, can have today's achievements, father-in-law hard work, almost never slept a peaceful sleep, there are many things in the Daxingtai Mansion, father-in-law has to care, during that time after the father-in-law arrived in Xichuan, there is no way to deal with it, and uncle, Lingnan Road is one of the poorest places, If you want to govern this place well, how can ordinary people do it? ”

"Mrs. is in the palace, strict with herself, the palace is well organized, and the children of the Cui family are restricted, they are never allowed to do anything wrong, and they cannot rely on power, how simple it is, throughout the Li Tang royal family, because women are involved in politics, with the help of power, and conniving at the family and the people, leading to the decline of the royal family, things abound, so in comparison, the Cui family is not simple, if there is no good family style inheritance, how can this be done."

Cui Shenyou's face was a little red, but in fact, he still thought of some other things.

Li Rupei looked at Cui Shenyou and spoke again.

"A certain is not a pedantic person, since ancient times, scholars are expected to glorify their ancestors, ten years of cold windows no one asked, once famous the world knows, if all the scholars have no pursuit, then this dynasty will completely collapse, the Cui family can be clean, can make significant contributions, should enjoy glory and wealth, this is not something that can not be said, just to say, other famous families, whether it is envy or jealousy, can not change the determination of a certain person, If they don't want to forge ahead, they always keep the golden signboard of the past, and they can't look down on such a famous family. ”

Cui Shenyou's heart is mixed, he doesn't know why Li Rupei can be so perceptive to people's hearts, can say such old-fashioned and serious words, it is said that Li Rupei is only in his early twenties, he should not have such a thick understanding, but people can say it, it can be seen that Xingyang Lu and Taiyuan Wang made an unusual decision, or really sent people to the south to understand the situation in detail.

Cui Hanlei can marry Li Rupei, and Cui Anqian can have such an excellent son-in-law, which is really a blessing for the Cui family.

However, Cui Shenyou also knew that Li Rupei only understood one of the meanings, and the more critical meaning was not clear and could not be clear.

"Lord Wang, there is indeed something important to say today, or something very important, this matter involves a famous family, and it is also a troublesome thing during this time."

"Uncle has something to do, just say it."

"The matter involves the prince, and it's really hard to speak."

"What can there be, can it be said that other famous families, the red eyes of the Qinghe Cui clan, hmph, it is useless to be red-eyed, a certain will not give in, yes, the support of the famous family is very important, but what a certain did in the south, aren't those famous families still unclear."

"This, not as complicated as the prince thought, Xingyang Lu and Taiyuan Wang, both sent envoys, came to the Jiedu envoy Yamen, found so-and-so, it is said that they also sent an envoy to Xiangyang to find Cui Anqian, what they mean is to be able to marry the girl in the family to the prince......"

Before Cui Shenyou finished speaking, Li Rupei was stunned, he would never have thought of this matter anyway.

"Uncle, there is no need to discuss this matter, it is enough for a certain person to have Madame, Qiu Yue, Yu Rong and Lian Han by his side."

"Lord Wang, let's think about it, a certain is also after careful consideration, sooner or later the prince will develop towards the north, and it will be inseparable from the support of famous families in the future, and the Qinghe Cui clan also needs to have scruples, the prince also said, the height is not cold, and all the glory is occupied by the Qinghe Cui clan, which is the most dangerous moment for the Qinghe Cui clan."

Cui Shenyou's words were very sincere, and Li Rupei didn't speak again, bowing his head and falling into deep thought. (To be continued......)
