And his happy expression made Wangcai and the others look stupid directly, because in their eyes, they really couldn't see that Lingnan, a barren land, had any gold and silver mountains to obtain! However, Yang Guozhong's words and deeds at this time seem to be another thing in Li Mao's eyes, judging the situation and having a unique vision, which may be the reason why he Yang Guozhong can be reused by Li Longji in the original history! If he is useless, just relying on the relationship recommended by Yang Yuhuan, I am afraid that he will not be able to be looked at by the treacherous and cunning Li Sanlang!

Li Mao couldn't help but sigh after thinking about this, then turned around and rested quietly on the thighs of the big and small pairs.

"Your Highness, are you tired? Why don't you give your legs a beating! "No, you've been in the carriage for so long, so let's go back to the bridge!" It's not okay to be tired! ”

"No, we're going to sit with Your Highness! There are so many padded things on this car, the two slaves don't feel bumpy at all, Your Highness waits for Changsha County, do you really want to leave our sisters halfway? Why don't you take us to Lingnan with you! ”

"No! This has been said before! You are now almost three months old, if something really goes wrong, you must find a quiet place to take care of, and wait for the king to return to Chang'an when he returns! The barren land of Lingnan, you will definitely not be able to bear it! Don't mess around anymore......"

"Well, can't we stop talking? Your Highness, don't be angry! But Sister Qiuxiang's letter is asking you to return to Beijing quickly, and Concubine Hui also said so, is it really good for you to run to Lingnan so disregarded? What if he is really angry, saint? ”

"Eh, don't worry about these two of you, this king has his own way to deal with them, that old guy now has football and mahjong! Don't know how happy you are? In addition, we settled Tubo and went to his heart disease, even if it is a big disaster, it will not be really punished, the more crazy this king plays, the more relieved he is, do you understand? If this king really dies and stays in Jiannan and doesn't leave, he may really cause trouble......"

"Oh...... Are you afraid that the saints will be jealous of the military power in your hands? "Right! Now this king just doesn't care about anything, and spends money and has fun, but it is the safest and most free! Ha ha...... And if you two little babies come with two more royal grandchildren, wouldn't it be a charcoal in the snow haha......"

After Li Mao said such a shameless and skinless speech, the big and small shuang'er immediately followed the red-faced laughter, and when the three of them played to the rise, they became unscrupulously intimate in the carriage. In this way, I stopped all the way, and when I arrived at Changsha County, it was already two months, and in a blink of an eye, I entered the autumn of 726 A.D., that is, (the 14th year of Kaiyuan).

After Li Mao and Shuang'er settling down for more than a month, the group really accelerated their pace towards Lingnan Road, and then it took less than a month to smoothly enter the territory of Guangzhou!

And when Li Mao saw the famous first-tier city of Guangzhou thousands of years ago, he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart. Because everywhere you can see, there are either dilapidated houses and tiles everywhere, or the local indigenous people are all yellow and thin.

"Chasing life, as far as this king knows, haven't there already been many Fan merchants walking around along the Lingnan coast? Why are the local people still living so hard? ”

"This? The subordinates have been collecting and finding out the reasons for the past few days, there are probably three: the first is that the climate is hot, the plants are luxuriant, which leads to poisonous insects, fog barriers are everywhere, and the land that can be used for cultivation is difficult to develop and plant, and the second coastal area continues to have wind disasters every year, even if the houses are repaired, it is difficult to maintain it in the coming year, so over time, most of the local people can move away, and the third is the vicious circle, the first two lead to insufficient population, and the real prosperity of Lingnan Road is also the place where the state capital is located in Jiangmen, But it's still far from the Jingshi compared to the Jingshi......"

"Oh...... I see, what you said is very reasonable, the typhoon seems to be unsolvable, and the tropical climate is also a double-edged sword, in our era before the mechanical word, how can manpower compete with the primeval forest? So many fresh fruits can't be transported, it's like a mountain of gold in the hands of a lazy hand! Eh...... But when this king comes, he has to come up with a solution! Zhang Jiuling should have received the news that this king was coming to Lingnan now, right? ”

"Back to Your Highness, three days ago, my subordinates sent someone to the yamen of the state capital to inform him, presumably Lord Zhang should be on the way at this moment!"

"Okay, let's rest in Qingyuan Town tonight, and let's go together when Zhang Jiuling arrives! By the way, how long will it take for the rice and grain transferred from Hunan to arrive? "If the pipeline is unimpeded, you will be able to reach Lingnan Road in a month, and since the natural residence in Changsha County has just opened, it is still a bit difficult to raise funds for the purchase of grain!" However, his subordinates have already ordered someone to transfer it from Hubei Province first......"

"Don't be too impatient, I'm afraid it will take half a year for Lingnan to really start construction, let them take their time little by little, as long as they don't stop eating halfway, this Zhang Jiuling can still dig out the official road of Da Yuling in such a difficult environment, it's really not easy! He is really a well-deserved official! ”

After Li Mao sighed, he immediately walked into Qingyuan's post station to rest, but before he could sit on his buttocks, Wangcai and Yang Guozhong hurriedly rushed out of the door.

"Your Highness has arrived!" "Which one is the messenger! Has the king summoned him? "Your Highness, the Lingnan envoy is Zhang Jiuling, Lord Zhang!" "Oh! It's him! Is it coming so soon? Then let him in! ”

As he spoke, Li Mao asked the Siamese maidservants who were waiting to prepare tea, and then he went straight to the back room to change into a cool summer shirt.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a mustache and wearing an official mansion stood at the door very respectfully, bent down and clenched his fists, and shouted: "Weichen, Lingnan envoy Zhang Zishou, meet His Royal Highness King Shou!" "Oh! Master Zhang, come in and have some tea first! This king will be dressed in a while! "Wow!"

Zhang Jiuling walked into the living room and sat down tremblingly, and when he saw that the maids who came to serve tea were all Siamese maids, although his face was very surprised, he was restrained and polite in his gestures.

Before he could swallow a sip of tea, Li Mao simply put on a silk coat and walked out with a pair of clogs, and Zhang Jiuling saw this and immediately got up respectfully and wanted to salute.

"Eh, Master Zhang, sit down, sit down and drink tea, you don't have to be so formal, the weather in Lingnan is really hot! You see that this king can't wear regular clothes at all, and I hope you forgive me for the rudeness! ”
