The governor's palace of Jiangnan Province was located in Suzhou City, because it was not easy to land there, so Li Yuanxing chose to be in Hangzhou, and also checked the construction of Hangzhou Port by the way.

Hangzhou is picturesque, Li Shentong called his wife as a guide, and led Wang Yuyan and others to visit Xingxi Lake.

Principal officials from Suzhou and Hangzhou, as well as representatives of various chambers of commerce, were summoned.

In fact, even if Li Yuanxing didn't summon him, they would take the initiative to ask for an audience.

Li Yuanxing's temporary resting place was in the garden of a silk merchant, and it was in the pavilion of the middle courtyard that Li Yuanxing listened to the reports of the officials.

"Your Highness, according to Your Highness's instructions, Zhoushan will build a large port for 4,000 giant ships, and it will take at least eight months to complete it. Hangzhou 500 materials inner port, the daily throughput has reached 34,000 materials, of which 30 percent from Quanzhou, 50 percent from Lingnan shipping, Huating port construction is now very important, the Yangtze River ships are not suitable for detour sea, so ninety percent choose to get off in Jiangdu County, so if the goods want to go south, there need to be two more transshipments! ”

Li Yuanxing listened, and just nodded: "List a detailed report, don't worry, but be detailed!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Huating Port is the future Shanghai Port, which is the most important port. Because it is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, the importance of transportation is too important.

Another military general came out to report: "Your Highness, the merchants of Quanzhou reported two things, and the last general is verifying." The first thing is that they found foreign pirates, although the ship is broken and the ship is small, and it can't deal with the merchant ship guards of the Tang Dynasty, but the last general is afraid of a case. ”

Li Yuanxing did not answer. just glanced sideways at Li Shentong.

Li Shenyong obviously knew about this: "Goro, those people are from the South China Sea island country. Their merchants want to trade with my Datang, but they can't come up with anything valuable, so we haven't taken them seriously, so they have some evil thoughts to beat them, they are poor and don't even have pants. Don't fight, but they're annoying! ”

After Li Shentong finished speaking, he gave the general a look.

Na Wu would continue to speak: "Your Highness, the ship from Lingnan. Traces of combat have been found on several occasions. But the Lingnan businessmen didn't say a word. It was only said that it was a storm. The last general inquired several times and thought that it was the Baiyue bandits who had attacked the Lingnan ships. "Having said that, there is no need to say any more.

Lingnan is Feng An's territory, and his ship is attacked.

He doesn't say. Gangnam-do won't talk any more nonsense.

This is just a wake-up call for Li Yuanxing. Why didn't Feng Ang report it? Or maybe there's something hidden.

Li Yuanxing just replied: "This king knows about this matter!" ”

The debriefing work took most of the day, overall. Li Yuanxing is still very satisfied with the development of Jiangnan Province. If this development continues, within a year, Jiangnan Province will be able to support half of the Tang Dynasty treasury.

"This king mentioned a proposal, about the heroic mother, have you heard?"

"Goro, I've heard about this. It's just that there is no official decree, so I haven't explained it in detail below. I'm afraid that it will not be official until the chief officials of the three provinces make it final. It's just that, has Gorou considered that Datang's taxes will be reduced a lot, which is equivalent to canceling the poll tax! ”

Listening to Li Shentong talk about this, Li Yuanxing also understood.

In ancient times, the poll tax was a very important part of the national treasury revenue.

Li Yuanxing would definitely not say that he wanted to cancel the poll tax, but said: "Presumably Tianying Pavilion is still discussing, then it is not too late to wait for the results of Tianying Pavilion to be released, if you have any ideas, just write to Chang'an, and make a reference for Tianying Pavilion!" ”

"Your Highness ordered!" The officials responded in unison.

Li Shentong asked at this time: "Wulang seems to be passing through Hangzhou, where are you going to go next?" ”

"Go to Lingnan first, then inspect Shuzhong, zuihou go back to Chang'an." Li Yuanxing thought that there was no need to hide this kind of thing, so he said it truthfully.

A merchant stood up, gave a big salute, and after receiving permission, he spoke: "Your Highness, what Xiaomin wants to ask is that this sea ship can be sold at an appraisal now. I don't know if we and other merchants will have the opportunity to buy it in the future, or rent this flying boat......" Before the merchant finished speaking, Li Shentong's face darkened: "Nonsense!" ”

"Yes, yes!" The merchant was frightened and hurriedly retreated.

Li Shentong continued: "Don't you know the battle of Pyongyang, this flying boat will destroy Pyongyang in one day. What do you want such sharp weapons for, thou little merchant? ”

Li Shentong's words were a little heartbroken, and the merchant knelt on the ground in fright, trembling all over.

Li Yuanxing smiled indifferently: "Uncle Huang doesn't need to scare him, he just wants this flying boat to be quick and convenient." Dandong's seafood can be transported to Chang'an City in seven or eight hours at most, and it can be kept fresh, which is also the way of business, and the road is difficult to travel in some places, and the business is extremely unfavorable. ”

"What does Gorou mean that this flying boat can really be used by the people?"

"It is impossible to hand it over to the people, not to mention whether the businessman can afford it. This thing uses the art of immortal work, and if it is learned by bad people, it is the trouble of Datang. What's more, flying in the air, which also requires the joint control of more than 20 excellent flight technicians, and it also requires daily maintenance. ”

As soon as Li Yuanxing explained, Li Shentong said to the merchant: "Get up, His Royal Highness the King of Qin doesn't blame you!" ”

"Your Highness Xie, Your Highness Xie!"

Li Yuanxing smiled and nodded: "Now build four new ships, and this king Jihua will keep one for the royal use." Then one is used for transportation from Chang'an to Shuzhong, which can carry people and goods, and is charged by the head and the weight of the goods. There was originally a canal from Suzhou to Chang'an, but it was a bit wasteful, so the connection between Chang'an, Suzhou and Lingnan was chosen. Zuihou all the way, flying Liaodong, there are also some stops in the middle! ”

The merchants knew that the cost of this thing must be a figure they could not imagine.

Even if you just ride this thing, the cost will not be a small number.

When it comes to transporting goods, you must choose the kind that is of great value, otherwise no one will spend this price.

Li Yuanxing didn't give the merchants a chance to ask questions, and said, "This king is going to purchase some things. One is to use it as a gift, and the other is to try a deal with Shuzhong. Speaking of this, Li Yuanxing smiled a little embarrassedly: "On the flying boat of this king, I brought some things, but there is not much money, and some goods can be discounted in exchange for your goods, this time this king hopes to bring more silk." ”

Datang's current silk is a commodity in short supply.

Originally, silk was equal to the value of currency, and now Li Yuanxing has promoted not only the silk trade to foreign countries, but also the demand for silk in Datang, especially in Chang'an and Luoyang, is more than ten times larger. Therefore, the price of silk has risen again and again, if it were not for the government to suppress the highest market price. It is strictly forbidden to enter raw silk speculation and hoarding. The price of silk must have risen uncontrollably.

Hearing that Li Yuanxing was going to discount the things on his ship, the businessmen came to the spirit again.

Who is King Qin, that is the living god of wealth in the world.

Whether the thing is good or not, how much is it worth. The vision of the worldly people is no matter how high. It is also impossible to look at the brick to the jade. King Qin is different. Sheep dung is bought by the pound, and it can be turned into treasure when you buy it back. Let's just talk about stones, and now the main hall of the rich family's house in Suzhou and Hangzhou. If there is no marble on the ground, it proves that your family is either poor or vulgar.

You know, that fine marble is the object that built the Holy Emperor's Palace.

The small people buy some ordinary ones, and also stick to the royal atmosphere.

Li Shentong waved his hand: "Hurry up and get the high-quality goods in your warehouse for His Royal Highness King Qin to choose." Go ahead! The representatives of the Chamber of Commerce also ran out, and they said that they had no stock in their hands, and that the library could also be loaded with a few cars, and the ones that were kept must be high-quality.

Li Yuanxing didn't stop him, he also needed some gifts for Feng An.

In just half an hour, wagons wrapped in tarpaulins entered the silk merchant's garden. Li Yuanxing came from Wadao, and he could have something good in his hands. At least in Li Yuanxing's eyes, these things are worthless. It's not a treasure, and some of the things brought from modern times are nothing more than a novelty.

Lu Maofeng received these businessmen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time Your Highness is patrolling the borders, and they are all poor places. If the value of the goods is not enough, a certain IOU will be given to you, and the Qin Wangfu is not bad for your coins, forgive me, forgive me! ”

Large pieces of crystal, unpolished, the most primitive crystal.

Crystals are nothing magical.

But amethyst is different, ordinary people dare to have amethyst casually, unless it is a reward.

This color alone is worth a lot of money, and the merchant did not dare to say that he would buy it, but only said that it was a gift to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and he gave this amethyst in return. With the local government issuing documents, this amethyst can be taken home.

Silver bricks, silver bricks of twenty pounds.

Silver is not in circulation, which was the case in the Tang Dynasty before Li Yuanxing came, and even more so after that.

But silver is a precious metal after all, and this thing is also easy to do, and the large pieces are moved to Hangzhou Qianzhuang, and they are exchanged for bankers in Qianzhuang, which is money. Next is some small handicrafts on Jeju Island, such as the picture of haenyeo sticky with shells, and a merchant opened the price to 800 guan, which is not for His Royal Highness King Qin, this is difficult to buy a favorite if you have money.

The Japanese people are really poor, and the most valuable thing is the comb polished by the turtle shell, and some of them are beautiful.

Zuihou is the same, it is really not enough money for the merchants, Li Yuanxing took it out in desperation. Stainless steel shell, fully sealed, life waterproof level, one MP3 with solar panels. MP3 is not a baby, but this one has a full set of Romance of the Three Kingdoms commentary, this is just this one, this is a baby.

"I'm out a thousand!" There were businessmen shouting at the moment.

Immediately afterwards, another businessman wanted to shout the price, but Li Yuanxing waved his hand.

"When this king came to Hangzhou, he was also disturbed. The garden of the Xie family has not yet been built, so it is borrowed by this king to settle down temporarily. This one was given to Mr. Xie to show his gratitude! ”

The Xie family is a family, but it is also a big businessman.

The Xie family, the patriarch in charge of Hangzhou's business, was so shrewd that he immediately followed the conversation: "Your Highness, the Xie family is not well entertained, and it is uneasy to receive some heavy gifts, the Xie family is willing to bring some Hangzhou specialties to His Highness, and His Highness must accept it!" (To be continued......)
