"No, no...... The lower officials don't dare, the climate in Lingnan is indeed difficult to compare with Chang'an! It is common sense that His Royal Highness came from thousands of miles away and made it difficult to adapt for a while! In addition, Your Highness, you need to pay more attention to mosquito bites when you go to sleep at night, and it is best to let your subordinates burn some wormwood...... Something! ”

"Haha...... It seems that Mr. Zhang already knows the climate of Lingnan well! Thanks for reminding me, come and drink some tea first! ”

Li Mao casually picked up the tea bowl and drank it in a big gulp, and Zhang Jiuling hurriedly raised the tea bowl towards Li Mao when he saw this. However, after Li Mao only focused on drinking tea, the two of them immediately fell into an embarrassing cold scene. Until Wangcai was very ignorant and broke in recklessly with two ducks.

The scene came alive again. "Your Highness! You see, there are not only many lychee fruits in Lingnan, but even ducks are everywhere! Let's invite Mr. Zhang to eat roast duck in the evening! ”

"Get out! Thinking about that little appetite all day long, didn't you see that this king and Master Zhang had something important to discuss? If you are still so unruly in the future, be careful that this king breaks your torn leg......" After Wangcai was frightened by Li Mao and crawled back out of the door, Zhang Jiuling seemed to hesitate again and again, and finally said to Li Mao: "Your Royal Highness King Shou, I don't know what you came here for?" If the subordinate has something to help, please let Your Highness do the bidding! ”

"Huh...... It's not a big deal, this king's temperament is to love to wander around, this time I rushed to Lingnan, and I was going to find a place to set up a field on the coast! But when I got here, I found that this place was sparsely populated! The climate is hot...... Eh, are you struggling? ”

"This ...... Does His Highness want to open a workshop in Lingnan? Weichen had mentioned this to the imperial court before, but it was sunk in the sea several times, if ...... If Your Highness really has the heart to establish this time, Wechen is willing to do his best! Zhang Jiuling stood up a little excitedly as he spoke!

After that, before Li Mao could answer, he hurriedly continued to ask, "Your Highness, have you already chosen a place!" Lingnan officials are very familiar, and the lower officials ......"

Seeing Zhang Jiuling so anxious and devoid of manners, Li Mao also felt funny, but after thinking about it, he was behaving like this and behaving for the well-being of the people of Lingnan, so he silently admired it in his heart.

"Lord Zhang, don't be impatient, sit down and talk again, this king just said that there are some difficulties, but he hasn't decided not to hold this Lingnan field! Lord Zhang is dedicated to the sake of the people's livelihood, and this king also admires it very much! However, we still have to consider more about the specific matters of opening a field, after all, the climate here is windy, the terrain is extremely hot, and the poisonous insects and fog barriers are everywhere......"

"No, no, Your Highness's words are also wrong, although Lingnan is a wild place, but it also has its unique geographical location, as long as it costs some money and manpower to develop it, it will be able to be a maritime Silk Road where merchants gather in the future, Your Highness, as long as you are willing to help, your majesty will not persuade the people from all over Lingnan to work and contribute to the construction of the field to obey the ......."

"Haha...... Okay, you Zhang Jiuling, what this king wants is your words, in order to speed up the construction of Lingnan Yanchang, this king will soon move to more than 50,000 Tubo people, Tubo Xinding local turmoil, you must also know, most of the people who moved over this time are the poor people who were enslaved by the Tubo magnates, they were inspired by the king to come here to pioneer and make a living, I don't know if you can arrange a comprehensive account of this household registration matter? ”

Li Mao suddenly said such a big thunder, Zhang Jiuling was a little shocked when he first heard it, and he staggered to hold on to the table and chair for a long time before he came back to his senses, and looked at Li Mao in disbelief.

"Your Highness! You...... You're not going to be laughing with your subordinates, are you? More than 50,000 households in Tibet have descended to the people, not to mention more than 100,000 people, and what the lower officials want to ask is what kind of means did you use to send them all the way to Lingnan, not to mention whether they can adapt to the climate here, even the resettlement houses of these many people will not be able to be taken out by the lower officials for a while! ”

Zhang Jiuling laughed as he spoke, and then smiled as if he was about to cry. "Don't laugh with you! You don't have to worry about settling their houses, you only need to find a piece of unclaimed land in a suitable area in Lingnan, and the labor to build the houses will be undertaken by the local people in Lingnan, and the wages will be paid by the king, and the price is several times higher than the ordinary price...... The right should be given to the people of Lingnan to distribute some relief money, so that when the field is established in the future, they will have the money to buy ......."

"This ...... I'm afraid this will be more than a million Your Highness, and so many people have rashly poured into my Lingnan Provincial Government, even if they are resettled, where will the rice and grain come from, and the fields where the people are too lazy to survive will not be able to allocate it! ”

Zhang Jiuling was delicate, even in the case of a surprise attack by Li Mao, he was still able to ask the key point in a panic, and after he asked these questions, he thought that Li Mao would be caught off guard by countermeasures.

But to his surprise, Li Mao couldn't help but be surprised, and took out a densely written piece of rice paper from the back room as if he had been prepared.

Then he laughed again and said, "Lord Zhang, these problems you are worried about have been solved for you by this king a long time ago, the Lingnan Mountains are deep and dense, most of the untouched land, this time as long as you hit the people and horses to kill and burn the mountains to open up the wasteland, one can cut more wood needed to build houses, and the other can also turn a part of the dense forest into a long field at the same time, as for the new people in the early stage, and the necessary rations for the working people, this king will also continue to transfer from Hunan, Hubei, and the silver money needed to buy should be borne by the king!" In addition, after the arrival of the Tibetan immigrants, Lord Zhang, you can recruit them to open up mountains and roads, and continue to expand the places that still need to be renovated outside the Great Yuling Mountains, and this silver is still ...... by this king."

After Li Mao said this, Zhang Jiuling hesitated for a long time and didn't know how to answer, he really never dreamed that what Zhang said to himself before turned out to be true, Shouwang Li Mao is not only stupid and rich, but also has a soft spot for building bridges and roads without any benefits.

"Your Highness, can you ask you again, you are doing this like a boy with scattered wealth, oh no...... Xia Guan means that you are so generous in the construction of Lingnan, where is the intention! Is it just to build a field where the future is not clear? Even if the business is booming at that time, it is also under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and it is difficult for you to make huge profits, Your Royal Highness King Shou? ”
