Chapter 328: Jiangnan is a treasure land
Li Linfu got up from his seat and talked, and after a few words, everyone present was in awe, and even Li Heng, who was sitting at the top, couldn't help but get up and walk to Li Linfu's side immediately after hearing this. "Li Xiang, this ...... Is this Champa rice really so magical? Is it better than that sweet potato and corn? "No, no...... Your Royal Highness all things grow, there is a way of nature, sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn production is amazing, not the side things can be compared, this Li Mao also said, but everyone also knows a little, that is, orange Huainan is orange, Jiangnan mountains are many places, and humid water, if it is a stereotypical copy of the planting of sweet potatoes, potatoes are afraid that most places will be difficult to harvest, and the official said that the Zhancheng rice is just suitable for the climate and soil planting in the south of the Yangtze River...... There are also mountainous areas where terraces can also be developed for farming... This method has been talked to you before, so naturally there is no need to say more about this official, but if the next official is to order one side to produce, everyone must have turned a blind eye to it before......"
"What?" "Salt, sea salt...... This matter was also heard by the official by chance in the mouth of Gao Lishi, the chief of the internal chamberlain, and Li Mao also once wanted to vigorously develop the coastal shoals for drying sea salt...... "After listening to what Li Linfu said, almost everyone present was surprised, because even though they tickled the roots of Li Mao's hateful teeth, but at the same time, they had to admire his excellent development vision, and they had arranged all parts of Jiangnan so thoroughly as early as a few years ago. At that time, the nominal water town of Jiangnan was a poor place full of water and difficult to develop in the eyes of others.
"Okay, very good, Li Xiang's words really made me wait for a while! As long as all parts of Jiangnan develop gradually according to what Li Xiang said, then the road to strengthening the army and enriching the people will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, if Li Xiang does not dislike it, all the affairs in this corner of Jiangnan will be controlled by you for the time being, and the prince and all your colleagues will follow it......" Li Heng had already bent down and clasped his fists at Li Linfu as he spoke, and he saluted respectfully, and dozens of officials, big and small, and gentry and bigwigs from all over the country were all silent at this moment.
Seeing that the scene was so solemn, he changed himself from the court to the head of the rebels, although Li Linfu was a little uncomfortable psychologically for a while, but with the heavy blessing of saving his life and future, he was still shaken, after all, he understood more in his mind that Li Mao was not a benefactor who could trust his life, but the former prince Li Heng in front of him was a good new choice.
Li Linfu struggled mentally for a while, and also thought a lot, but he was depressed and still pinned his hope on the one ten-thousandth hope. "His Royal Highness the Prince, I can't do it, I can't do it, how can I do it, as the old saying goes, there is a death for a confidant with a scholar, and Wechen is willing to smear the liver and brain for His Royal Highness the Prince from now on, and set things right......" Li Linfu judged the situation, knelt down in front of Li Heng and kowtowed again and again, and Li Heng immediately smiled and quickly helped Lao Li up, so the hall was full of laughter for a while, and then there were several orders of the prince from the palace one after another, and a large number of fishermen moved in the east coast of Zhejiang. Hundreds of thousands of acres of salt drying fields were built in just a few months, and Lin'an tea and Suzhou silk appeared in the world of various state capitals in the Tang Dynasty almost at the same time......
In addition, a team of 10,000 personal soldiers commanded by urging the family himself also quietly drove to the city of Zhancheng in the country of Jiaozhi by sea, and I heard that there were some small unpleasant things, of course, these are all later words. In a small courtyard in Anqing Fang, Kyoto, Chang'an, Li Mao and Gu Yu were drinking West Lake Longjing tea while playing chess with a calm face.
"Sage, your move is so good! The old decay has been thinking about it for several months before I understand your mind, and now the work in all parts of Jiangnan is in full swing, and the people and the Zhedong clan are unprecedentedly united, smart, really smart......"
"Old man, do you think I'm really clever at doing this? But right now, the people in the DPRK and China are panicking, and they are all talking about Li Heng's rising power! It was as if there were thoughts of standing in line on both sides, and they were afraid, afraid that Li Heng would lead a million troops to attack Chang'an from south to north...... I'm afraid that I'm not a saint for long......" "No, no...... Everything is in the hands of the sage, the old man and the sage you have dealt with for so many years, I don't believe in anything else, but I always regard the words you said as the most reasonable saying, that is, the truth is always on the edge of the sword, as long as the Central Plains region, there are many soldiers and wide food, then when the time comes, the hundreds of Shenwu cannons will be put on the bank of the Yangtze River, and the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River will weigh the severity of the situation, Li Heng, and the urging family child at this time is just making a wedding dress for the sage...... Ha ha...... Lamentable...... It's so sad......"
Being told by the old man Gu in a few words, Li Mao was suddenly a little embarrassed, because he thought like this at the beginning, the people in the south of the Yangtze River are mislocated and complex, and there are a large number of scholars entrenched, it is impossible to treat them as rudely as the north, but the land south of the Yangtze River is the top priority of future development, after all, the geographical advantage is there, so he also racked his brains to come up with such a risky move to let the tiger return to the mountain.
Use the enemy's advantages to serve yourself, of course, you are also like the old man Gu said, the poor are easy to work hard, but after being rich, they will look forward and rein, so they want to use Li Heng's prestige and the flattering adventurous psychology of the various clans in Jiangnan, so that they can take the initiative to consciously develop the economic construction of Jiangnan for self-preservation, and then what they have to do is to sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman, after all, as long as the strongest military force of the Tang Dynasty is in their own hands, Then Li Heng, no matter how much he jumps, he is just doing useless work.
"Old man, the situation in Jiangnan has long been decided, you don't need to bother, what I am most concerned about at the moment is that there are many matters on the Silk Road in the north, your boss can't always be pampered in Chang'an City and don't do anything at all, Turkic Dao, your old man has a wide connection, see if you find a suitable opportunity to call those nobles on the grassland to get together!" More than two million people on the grassland are always so idle there, and it is difficult for me to sleep and eat......" Li Mao dropped his chess pieces and led the conversation directly to the Mobei grassland, as he said, although the situation in Mobei and the northeast is now a lot more stable, there is also Wang Sizhong, a fierce general, sitting there, but the grassland people have always been strong, on the horse into the army, off the horse for the people, millions of people scattered there in this era of cold weapons is always a small hidden danger, at this time the Tang Dynasty is strong and victorious, it is easy to say, it can also be suppressed, But if the Central Plains Dynasty declines one day, then the steppe nomads will surely resurgence again......
Of course, Li Mao thought about this, and the old man Gu who was sitting opposite him also knew it, and after glancing at Li Mao, he immediately threw down the chess pieces, picked up the tea bowl, nodded, and said, "Sage, do you want to move all the herdsmen of Mobei to the hinterland of the Central Plains?" If you do this, it will inevitably cause a lot of dissatisfaction...... The old man thought ......" "No, no! Old man Gu, you misunderstood what I meant, no matter how I don't stand tall, I haven't been arrogant to such an extent, how can the herdsmen of Mobei say it is also my people of the Tang Dynasty, I said before, as long as I am the people of the Tang Dynasty, then I will be treated equally, the construction of Jiangnan is imminent, the construction of this Mobei is naturally indispensable, it is indeed a little difficult to build a livable city in the vast grassland, but it is still a little feasible to build a few large cities on the vast grassland, In this way, we Central Plains Han people can better integrate with our grassland compatriots, isn't it? ”-->
