The southern part of the Tang Dynasty became a place of exile for everyone to talk about just because of its sparse population and miasma.

However, Li Zhi knew that it was the powerful source of power for Datang.

The climate in the south is warm and humid, which is ideal for the development of agriculture.

It's a pity that so far not many Hermes-Epitek have moved in.

As a result, these areas have always been under the management of various barbarian tribes with backward productive forces.

Li Zhi decided to take this opportunity to change this situation in one fell swoop.

So he first wrote a letter to Li Shimin, explaining in detail the importance of developing the southern region.

Taking the opportunity of the upcoming maritime trade, it is proposed to develop agriculture, fishery and foreign trade in the coastal areas.

In this way, these areas can be closely linked to the interior of Datang.

It won't take long for a large number of people to attract a large number of people and complete the development of these places.

Li Shimin carefully studied Li Zhi's plan.

Subsequently, the ministers of the DPRK and China were convened for a court meeting.

When Li Shimin put forward Li Zhi's plan, there was a burst of discussion in the court.

Lingnan Road is not a good place for these people.

Now His Royal Highness the King of Jin proposes to develop it for what purpose?

Could it be that His Majesty sees which minister is not very pleasing to the eye and wants to use the mouth of the King of Jin to drive him out of the court?

While everyone is speculating.

Wen Yanbo, the secretary of the ministry, spoke first: "Your Majesty, the miasma in the Lingnan states is very easy to cause death and injury, and rash development may outweigh the losses!" ”

Li Zhi opened his mouth and said: "The origin of the miasma is mostly due to humus, and it will not happen naturally as long as it is cleaned up. ”

Tang Jian, a member of the Inner Shi She, asked: "The saying of miasma has been said for a long time, but no one has ever made it clear, what is the basis for His Highness's words?" ”

Li Zhidao: "Now that my Datang medicine has developed greatly, I have long studied this thing. ”

Chen Shuda, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Even so, the south is mostly barbarian and sparsely populated, even if it is developed, where will we find manpower? ”

Li Zhi said: "There are many defeated generals of the Tuyuhun people, and it is just right to send them to Lingnan. ”

It is the same where so many captives are placed in Tuyuhun, it is better to simply immigrate to Lingnan and let them serve as a reclamation army.

Everyone didn't expect Li Zhi to even think of the problem of manpower.

This makes people even more suspicious that this is their father and son acting.

So Duan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said again: "The humidity and heat in the Lingnan area are unbearable, and people from the north are afraid that it will be difficult to adapt to it for a while. ”

Li Zhidao: "To develop the economy, it is natural to have to pay, if we only talk about the disadvantages and do not look at the benefits, how long will it be delayed?" ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, everyone didn't say anything for a while.

After a while, Li Chengqian spoke again: "The development of wild land will definitely cost a lot of money, and it may be difficult for the DPRK and China to afford it at present!" ”

Li Zhi said: "What the imperial brother is very worried about is that the younger brother thinks that he can take a steady approach and produce while developing. ”

Wang Qi said: "Your Highness has any good plans to talk about and listen to them." ”

Li Zhi said: "The land of Lingnan is extremely suitable for agriculture, and it is possible to cultivate while cultivating and achieving self-sufficiency in less than two years. ”

Wang Jue asked, "Is there any basis for His Highness's words?" ”

Li Zhidao: "This matter can be answered by Lord Zhang of Sinong Temple." ”

Zhang Ru was stunned when he heard Li Zhi mention his name.

He didn't expect that he, who had always been a little transparent, would one day be able to speak on such a major issue.

But since his name has been called, he can only stand up.

He first bowed to Li Shimin and then said: "Your Majesty, according to the judgment of Sinong Temple, there should be many places in Lingnan that can grow twice a year. ”

After hearing this, Li Shimin immediately asked excitedly: "Is this true?" ”

Zhang Ru said: "Although there is no experiment, the minister is sure. ”

Li Shimin immediately opened his mouth and laughed happily when he heard Zhang Ru's confirmation.

Everyone else was taken aback by Zhang Ru's answer.

If the grain in Lingnan can be harvested twice a year, wouldn't it be just a big place for grain production?

Li Shimin laughed for a long time and finally spoke: "It seems that the development of Lingnan is urgent, who do you think Aiqing can take on this great responsibility?" ”

Here it comes...

After listening to Li Shimin's words, the first thing that came to the minds of the ministers was these two words.

From beginning to end, they thought that this was a good play directed by Li Shimin and Li Zhi.

Next, they have to see which person is so unlucky and inadvertently offended the emperor.

At this moment, everyone did not speak, and they all very tacitly waited for Li Shimin to announce the answer in person.

Li Shimin couldn't help frowning when he saw this situation.

He didn't know what the group below was thinking.

I thought that there was no suitable candidate in everyone's hearts.

So he opened his mouth again and asked, "Aren't there any suitable candidates for Aiqing?" ”

Everyone still didn't speak, and they all bowed their heads and looked like they were trying to think.

Since the emperor wants to act, then everyone will accompany him to act for a while.

Anyway, no matter who the emperor assigns later, the others will definitely agree immediately.

The silence of the crowd made Li Shimin embarrassed.

Because he can't think of anyone who can handle government affairs and cultivate farmland at the same time.

So he hurriedly looked at Fang Xuanling and the others to see if they had any good candidates.

Fang Xuanling and the others all smiled bitterly in their hearts after seeing Li Shimin's gaze.

The emperor is not doing this authentically!

You didn't discuss it with everyone before the meeting, and now all of a sudden, let's choose people, isn't it difficult to be strong?

How do you talk about this kind of thing?

If you say the right person, you can follow your wishes, but once you say the wrong one, won't you offend others to death?

Just when everyone was silent, Li Zhi was also wondering in his heart.

No one wants such a good opportunity for meritorious service?

This is a job that can be done well with a little bit of seriousness!

So as soon as his eyes rolled, he immediately spoke: "Father, the son is willing to go and give it a try." ”

As soon as Li Zhi's words were finished, everyone's eyes looked at him deadly.

His Royal Highness King Jin, we don't have to play like this, right?

If you want to get people away, you still want people to open their mouths voluntarily?

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes looked at Li Shimin again.

I found that he also had a surprised expression on his face.

"Well acted!" Everyone sighed in their hearts.

Hou Junji, who had never spoken, immediately lit up his eyes after hearing Li Zhi's words, but then immediately lowered his head.

He had always suspected that the person the father and son wanted to kick away was himself.

Because he felt that some of the opinions he had recently put forward were not in line with the emperor's wishes.

Li Shimin was surprised for a long time before he reacted.

He immediately refused: "How is this possible? How could you travel to such a remote place alone at such a young age? ”
