Regarding the development of Gangnam, there will definitely be a lot of influence. First of all, most of these officials are from Jiangbei, and if Jiangnan is developed, it will mean that the future economic center will gradually shift to the south. And the economic center is shifted, then their hometowns may be facing decline. The decline of my hometown is probably something that no one wants to accept. Moreover, if Jiangnan is developed, then the officials from Jiangnan, or those who have served in Jiangnan, will form a big faction in the imperial court. If Jiangnan had not been developed before, Jiangnan would have been just a place where officials were "exiled", but once the strategy of Jiangnan's large-scale development was realized, then I am afraid that the political influence of these officials would have increased greatly. They will even take advantage of this opportunity of the great development of Jiangnan to unite and become a new political faction. Even, the officials of the imperial court would take the Yangtze River as the boundary, Jiangnan as one faction, and Jiangbei as one party, and as a result, both sides could only fight each other. This is related to the fate of the future, and even related to the future prospects.

Fang Xuanling closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said, "Your Majesty, it's better not to develop Jiangnan at the moment. ”

"Oh? Fang Aiqing, don't you want Datang to be able to live for a long time? Li Shimin asked first.

And Fang Xuanling immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister does not mean to develop Jiangnan now, but to develop Jiangnan when the conditions are more mature in the future." Now that the development of Jiangnan is in ruins, our country is in ruins, and all aspects need funds. And the imperial court's funds are limited, and it is impossible to provide them to develop Jiangnan. The reform of the army, the professionalization of the army, and even the firearms of the army were raised to the plan. These are all costly. However, our Datang treasury is very critical. And we can't raise taxes, and if we do, it will be an important burden for the people. And this development of Jiangnan is probably more expensive than the construction of the Grand Canal by Emperor Yang of Sui. ”

Fang Xuanling still uses finance as a reason, which is obviously a fatal reason. Because the financial development of Jiangnan is not at all something that Datang can afford now, it is almost impossible to achieve the development of Jiangnan. If Jiangnan is really to be developed, then I am afraid that the country will be in danger. When Emperor Yang of Sui built the Grand Canal, wasn't it because he consumed too much people's power, and as a result, they rebelled one after another? And many officials also nodded, obviously agreeing with Fang Xuanling's statement.

"Du Aiqing. What do you mean? Li Shimin asked.

Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty." Lao Chen's construction is to develop, develop immediately, and complete the development in our generation at any cost! ”

"What?" "Is Du Xiangye crazy?" "Yes! Du Xiang: What's wrong? ”……

Li Shimin was also surprised. Du Ruhui: What's wrong? Although Li Shimin also has the idea of developing Jiangnan. But I didn't expect Du Ruhui's words to be more intense than Li Shimin? And Fang Xuanling also looked at Du Ruhui's old partner in surprise. Obviously, I didn't expect that my old partner would be so contrary to him, and he would say such things directly?

"Your Majesty, old minister...... cough, cough, cough ......" Du Ruhui began to cough. Apparently the body was very weak during this time.

Li Shimin glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji viciously, because this qiē was caused by the eldest grandson Wuji, and the eldest grandson Wuji was also frightened.

"Du Xiang go down and rest!" Li Shimin said.

And after Du Ruhui continued, Jingwen took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, the minister dares to guess what Du Xiang means. ”

"Say!" Li Shimin said.

And Jingwen immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister guessed that Du Xiang meant that although the financial situation is not good now, there is an advantage that cannot be possessed in later generations. ”

"Oh? What are the advantages? Li Shimin asked.

"People!" Jingwen just said one word and paused.

"Your Majesty, my Tang Dynasty has just opened the country, from the emperor to ordinary courtiers, they are all full of courage and ability. And although the financial conditions of later generations may be much better, they do not have the advantages of this person. Later generations of kings and courtiers lived and grew up in the Taiping Era, which naturally caused a lack of courage. The development of Jiangnan, no matter in any era, is a huge cost. This kind of thing can't be started without great courage. Later generations of emperors and ministers may want to develop it, but are they willing to invest such huge financial resources into this bottomless pit that will not see benefits in a short time? The development of Jiangnan has not been more than ten years, and it is impossible to achieve initial results. Will future generations have the courage to do so? ”

Li Shimin was also a little sluggish for a while, obviously he also thought that the Taiping Emperor and Prime Minister Taiping in later generations might not have the courage to do so. People who lived in the Taiping period must have been weaker than the emperors and prime ministers in the founding period. When the time comes, will they have the courage to invest large sums of money in this bottomless pit? I'm afraid, no one has the bottom of this!

But these ministers in front of him are all the ministers who founded the country, and the emperor is also an emperor who was killed from the battlefield, and they are all full of courage and ability. As long as they decide, they will do it with all their might, and they will not hesitate and be afraid like the emperors and ministers of later generations. Although Fang Xuanling may oppose it now for financial reasons, once he really makes up his mind, Fang Xuanling will do his best to do it, and there will be no idea of turning back. What if the emperors and ministers of later generations could not bear to invest a large amount of finance, or if they had invested for a long time without seeing a return, and they "withdrew"? Isn't that for nothing? And the founding emperor's ministers would not have this idea, and they would probably be indomitable in their efforts.

Moreover, the development of Jiangnan is no less than pioneering work, and these officials need to have a pioneering spirit. The founding period of the People's Republic of China was the period when the spirit of pioneering and enterprising was the strongest, and if we did not take advantage of this time when the spirit of pioneering and enterprising in the whole country did not disperse, then it would be too late to think about pioneering at that time. Therefore, now is the most critical time, and we can't take it lightly!

"Okay, I have decided to develop Jiangnan in Datang and make Jiangnan the hometown of fish and rice in Datang. I will achieve initial results within fifteen years. Everyone immediately prepared, took out a strip of Chen, and prepared to develop Jiangnan. Moreover, I plan to set up a Jiangnan Development Yamen, which will be responsible for coordinating the development of Jiangnan. Li Shimin said.

After listening to Jingwen's words, Li Shimin had already begun to make up his mind, that is, to develop Jiangnan as soon as possible. If the emperor of later generations is afraid that it is impossible to have courage at all. So, it has to be done within this generation. 10,000 years is too long, and now everyone is seizing the day. (To be continued......)
