Chapter 586: Dismounting
"You're all exempt, I've never seen you before, I don't know if you can all introduce yourself and let me get to know you." Li Ke said with a smile.
His Royal Highness the King of Qin said so, and all the governors present naturally reintroduced them to Li Ke, and Li Ke remembered their appearances, so he smiled and said: "Today I am fortunate to see you as the pillars of the country stationed in the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, I am really happy, today I have a banquet in the largest restaurant in Guangzhou, and I also invite you to enjoy the light." ”
"Your Highness is polite, Your Highness has come from afar, and we should hold a banquet for Your Highness." Dang Renhong hurriedly saluted.
"The party governor doesn't have to be polite, I came here to comfort you, how can there be any reason to let you set up a banquet again." Li Ke said with a smile.
After repeated excuses, these people no longer refused, but followed Li Ke to a restaurant, this restaurant was opened by His Royal Highness King Qin, of course they knew, after all, the name of His Royal Highness King Qin, even in this Lingnan Road, is quite famous.
There is no way, the Datang Weekly in Guangzhou Mansion has been running, and many deeds in the court have been published, which makes the people of Lingnan Province regard Li Ke as his name, and the establishment of the Datang National Martyrs Cemetery is a heavy blow to all the government soldiers in Lingnan Province.
Not to mention that these soldiers are actually a member of the people, in addition to the Quyuan plow, the new type of cocoon car, etc., one by one, each by one seems to have little impact, but in fact, it has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people The policy of His Royal Highness King Qin is also quite well-known in this Lingnan Road.
Many common people have immortal tablets of His Royal Highness King Qin.
The reason why they got the news in advance was that naturally there was news from the mainland, and this was the official message, which was sent by the waterway at the fastest speed. Second, when these people came, they naturally wanted to see what His Royal Highness King Qin, known as the God of Wealth of the Tang Dynasty, looked like, and what the businessman Hu Zhi did after he came back, how could these local wealthy families not know?
Many people have their own ideas in their hearts, because this place in Lingnan Dao is really the emperor who is far away, and even the Tang Dynasty's ruling method on Lingnan Dao is just to appease the local wealthy families and appoint the local wealthy families, so what does His Royal Highness want to do when he comes this time?
They wanted to see if His Royal Highness King Qin was as powerful as rumored?
There is a restaurant, and in the largest private room, there are only ten people at this table, namely Li Ke and the governors of the Nine Mansions of the Tang Dynasty, which can also be said to be the main real power figures in the entire Lingnan Province.
"Ladies and gentlemen, to be honest, before I came to Lingnan, I was thinking about how to give you a dismount when I arrived at Lingnan Road." After Li Ke sat down, he smiled directly and spoke.
As soon as Li Ke's words came out, the faces of everyone present except for Dang Renhong became a little strange...... They have never seen His Royal Highness King Qin like this, can they still say it directly?
Is it still called a dismount?
"After all, to tell the truth, Lingnan Dao is far away from the emperor, and my father's appointment may not work here, and the people here are barbaric, there are many ethnic tribes in the mountains, and your local wealthy families are the best candidates to rule the local area, and if Datang wants to make Lingnan Dao stable for a long time, it is impossible to treat you." Li Ke said nonchalantly.
Everyone had different expressions, but no one interjected casually, mainly because of the way His Highness spoke, which made them uncomfortable to listen to, and they were all used to speaking subtly, knocking on the side, such a straightforward speech, I really have never experienced it.
And what Li Ke said, everyone knows that this is the case, but you can't say it clearly.
Dang Renhong twisted his ass, he was the most uncomfortable, because he was not a local, as the governor of Guangzhou, he was appointed by the imperial court, the problem was that Li Ke's words made him really uncomfortable.
So subconsciously Dang Renhong wanted to say something.
As soon as he was about to speak, Li Ke stretched out his hand to stop him, but continued: "However, I also knew too much about this place before I came, although it is said that ruling the local area depends on you, but I also know that you are all the pillars of the Tang Dynasty, and you have been stationed on the frontier for the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and you are conscientious and diligent, such as Feng Andu." ”
"So, I don't need anything to get off the horse, just take it as a wake-up call for me."
"Have you seen the boat I came on today?" Li Ke looked at them and asked.
"See, it's really mighty, is this a new Datang sea ship?" Feng Ang hurriedly spoke, and the others also responded.
"That's right! This is Datang's new style of sea ship, with a new design, such as my Qinwang smaller ship, will be the main sea ship of Datang, its speed has been greatly improved, can be 7 days, day and night from Youzhou Bohai to Guangzhou. Each ship could carry more than 1,200 soldiers. ”
"Ten ships can carry 10,000 elite soldiers. In the past, it was difficult to use a large army to mobilize a large army, but to load soldiers on sea ships, and tens of thousands of troops were just a few dozen sea ships, and about July this year, Datang and other sea ships could make more than 20 ships. Li Ke said lightly.
Everyone fell silent, and it turned out to be ...... This is the dismount? Or the alarm bell as His Highness speaks? Ten sea ships and 10,000 people, as long as there are fifty or sixty sea ships, the Tang Dynasty court can dispatch 50,000 or 60,000 elite troops from the sea to Guangzhou at any time.
Lingnan is indeed a long way away, and the terrain is treacherous, the problem is that it is reached by land from the Central Plains, but if you reach Canton by sea and then attack...... I can't say that it's a flat river, but it's much simpler than the inland!
"Of course, I'm not here to threaten everyone, but to give everyone a warning, don't think that Emperor Shangao can do whatever he wants and not obey the laws of the Tang Dynasty." Li Ke said lightly.
Do you call this a threat? So what is a threat? Everyone was speechless.
"Thank you Your Highness for your encouragement, the ministers don't dare." Everyone stood up and saluted.
"Sit down, I said, I'm not admonishing you, I'm just a wake-up call to you, Datang will not let go of any criminal, but it will not wronged any loyal minister, and the legal net will be restored without leakage. And I say this to tell you one thing, I'm not here just to offer condolences. I'm here to make money for you. Li Ke said lightly.
"Make money?" Everyone is stunned, or is it making money for us?
"Well, make money." Li Ke smiled and said, "I like win-win the most." ”
