After seeing him off, Li Kuan casually threw Li Zhi to the three provinces to do chores, and then went to busy himself with his own affairs, he was also very busy.

Now that Tubo is basically finished, he began to deal with the affairs of Liaodong.

Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chigong had already recruited troops on the spot near Liaodong and began to prepare for the army.

The army supplies are ready.

Moreover, it is necessary to take advantage of the situation to see if there are any means in this war that can solve some of the problems of people's livelihood.

There are also a lot of Tang people living near Liaodong, although it is also very prosperous, but as far as the statistical report Li Kuan has seen, it has not been used to the limit at all.

"Do you want to use the conquest of Liaodong to complete the infrastructure of the area close to that side?"

"Don't you think it's a bit of a fantasy?"

Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others were very dissatisfied after knowing Li Kuan's thoughts.

Datang's current management of the local people is now tending to unify and build cities.

Build new cities one after another, and then go to staffing officials, troops, etc.

But there are so many things involved in the construction of every city.

Site selection, house construction, land planning, road access, etc., are all troublesome, and there is no simple thing.

Moreover, this city is equipped with many civilian things, such as hospitals, armies, supply and marketing cooperatives, local factories and so on.

So it's very troublesome and very difficult to deal with.

It is precisely because this kind of construction work is very troublesome that Datang has not gathered all those scattered people into the city until now.

Remote areas like Liaodong, not to mention.

In addition, the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo has always been tense, and the officials of the three provinces are also afraid that Goguryeo will suddenly kill them when they are engaged in construction, so they are not qualified to build cities and gather people there.

But everyone is not completely giving up on the Liaodong side, and the way to give it is to stock.

Let a large number of merchants drive the economic development of their place, and when their population gathers to a certain extent, gradually build what a city should have, and finally spend decades to build several cities there in one go.

Li Kuan knew what the three provinces were thinking, and said calmly: "Don't you think this is a good opportunity?" ”

"Take the opportunity of conscription to build roads, build factories, recruit workers, and then build the foundation of the city."

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng frowned, they handed over to the big man in charge of the government to know Li Kuan's thoughts.

It is nothing more than to use the excuse of conscription to gather the strong laborers, find out how many local people there are, and then build the foundation of a city in one fell swoop.

"It's not good."

"We refuse."

Wei Zheng spoke decisively, he refused decisively, Li Kuan shrugged, Okay, you are the bosses of the three provinces, you are right.

Li Kuan turned to another plan and said with a smile: "Then there is no problem in building a large reserve base over there and using it as a material turnover." ”

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng glanced at each other and said hesitantly, "This is okay." ”

rejected Li Kuan once just now, and the two of them didn't want to refuse again, so they had to give Li Kuan a little face.

Li Kuan took the documents approved by the three provinces and left with a smile.

Out of the palace, several officials and a few businessmen found Li Kuan and looked at him with blank eyes.

Li Kuan handed them the agreed paperwork in his hand.

"Go ahead, the application for the large reserve base has been taken."

Several officials breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Li Kuan with red eyes.

"Thank you, His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

The big businessmen nodded even more.

"It has to be the king of Chu, a few of us will fail every time we go to the book, although we still have the qualifications to build a city this time, but the foundation for building a city is there."

The Liaodong official is really a handful of snot and tears, he is bitter.

The brothers of the same period who used to live with him were all promoted and made a fortune, and he was still eating sand there.

Stretching out an effort towards the central government, that is to support without support, to support without support, a miserable stroke.

If he had the qualifications to build a city, he would have built a few new cities in Liaodong as a meritorious.

Li Kuan patted them on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "Don't be too angry. ”

"It's really hard to deal with over there, but I can guarantee that the next thirty years over there will be a stage of rapid development, and you will all be promoted and made rich quickly."

After reassuring several officials, Li Kuan refused their request to invite them to dinner, and walked towards his home.

He has other things to do today.

As soon as he got home, Mingyu told Li Kuan that the eldest lady of the martial arts family was here.

Li Kuan knew that his sister-in-law was coming, so he walked straight into the living room.

Inside, Wu Meiniang was talking and laughing with her sister, and she was holding a beautiful little girl in her arms.

Seeing Li Kuan's arrival, the two hurriedly took the child up and saluted, and the child held by Wu Meiniang and the child held by the eldest lady of the Wu family looked at Li Kuan in surprise.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

The eldest lady of the martial arts family said respectfully with the child.

"No need to be polite."

Li Kuan sat on the main seat and looked at the two children brought by the eldest lady of the martial family with a smile.

It's all good-looking.

"King Chu, my sister is here this time to ask you to find a way out for the Helan family."

Wu Zetian bluntly stated the purpose of his sister's visit, without any embarrassment.

Li Kuan didn't mind, and recalled the situation of the Helan family in his mind.

Small families, not too big, belong to local forces.

They didn't go when the northern families went to Central Asia en masse, they chose you to stay in Datang.

It is one of those family forces who want to become the first family of the Tang Dynasty.

When the big families such as the five surnames and seven wangs were there, a large number of middle and lower families were suppressed to death, and there was no day for them to come out.

When the northern family left collectively, some small families started to think, I don't leave, I stay in Datang, I work hard to develop my own family in Datang, and make efforts towards the first family of Datang.

There are not many such families, and the Helan family is one of them.

It's a pity that their idea failed, whether it is family education or talent, they are not as good as the five surnames and seven hopes, so naturally they can't surpass it.

was cleaned up by Li Shimin several times, and now these small families are in a very miserable state.

The eldest lady of the martial arts family looked at Li Kuan with a blank eye, if she wasn't desperate, would she really want to come to Li Kuan, this is really embarrassing.

But the Helan family is now struggling to maintain their daily majesty.

Like their family, there are only two main incomes, one is her husband's money, and the other is a few shops given by her father when she marries.

And Helan, the whole big family, is indeed declining.

Li Shimin rectified them, it was really an all-round suppression, starting from many aspects of official positions, business, titles, and the quality of family personnel.

"Helan family, do you have any ideas?"

Li Kuan calmly looked at the eldest lady of the martial family.

The eldest lady's face was slightly red, and she whispered: "They want to sell their property and go abroad to buy a piece of land." ”

Li Kuan was directly laughed at angrily, and couldn't help but sneer:

"Is the Helan family crazy?"
