Su Lie was a little flattered when he saw that Li Zhi and the others had actually gone so far out of the city to greet him.

He dismounted in advance at a distance from the two of them and walked quickly towards Li Zhi and the others.

Li Chengqian is much more mature than Li Tai in handling things.

When he saw Su Lie dismounting, he immediately took Li Zhi to greet him.

At this time, he was not thinking about who the Dragoons would be closer to.

It is the open-mindedness and bearing that should be shown as a prince.

Li Zhi cooperated with Li Chengqian very well.

He didn't show himself too much, but everything was based on Li Chengqian.

Let everyone present focus their eyes on Li Chengqian and Su Lie.

After a tedious and boring etiquette, Li Chengqian and Li Zhi finally returned to Chang'an City with the soldiers of the Dragoon.

The people of the city burst into loud cheers.

The warriors of the Dragoons were all in their best form.

Everyone proudly accepted the cheers and praise of the people.

Su Lie and Deputy General Zhang Lei glanced at each other on the horse.

Then he looked at the carriage in which Li Zhi was riding.

They knew that their achievements today were all due to the King of Jin.

Without the proposal of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, there would be no dragoons.

There will be no training that they later received.

Without the Dragoons, they might still be just ordinary generals in the army.

is either in the sophistication of the world, or in the light of countless fierce generals, obscure.

And Li Zhi, whom they were grateful to, was thinking about the next recruitment plan and future development direction of the Dragoon Army at the moment.

After Li Su had studied the smelting process of oil, Li Zhi had already suggested to Li Shimin that an oil refinery be built in Yanzhou.

The money is made by Li Zhi, and the benefits generated in the future will be divided in half between him and Li Shimin's father and son.

Li Zhi has told Li Su about the development direction of petrochemical industry.

He believes that under the leadership of Li Su, Datang's chemical industry will soon usher in rapid development.

Among them, the more powerful explosives are the direction that Li Zhi requires to focus on development.

Li Zhi had already seen the strength of the craftsmen of this era.

He has already compiled the mechanical knowledge he has mastered into a book.

Li Zhi believed that as long as explosives could be invented, Yan Lide and others would definitely be able to research firearms and bullets according to the ideas he proposed.

At that time, the tactics of the Dragoons will have to be adjusted in a new way.

They will be the first fighters to use firearms, a thermal weapon.

The first expansion of the Dragoon Army, Li Zhi recruited only two thousand men.

With the previous record, the recruitment went more smoothly this time.

Among the sixteen guards, many soldiers who were not very old and had good physical fitness ran to the camp of the dragoons to enlist.

The commanders of the Sixteen Guards were both angry and helpless about this.

The Dragoons have now become the strongest combat force of the Tang Dynasty.

Not to mention the young soldiers, but also these veterans want to seek new development there.

After the recruitment of the Dragoons was completed, Li Zhi did not delay.

Li: He immediately found Li Shimin and asked to leave as soon as possible.

The silk in the northern region was left with a large number of purchases by Li Zhi and the family.

This will also become the norm in the coming years.

Therefore, Li Zhi must go to Lingnan as soon as possible and open up a new silkworm breeding base there.

The first destination of Li Zhi's trip was Guangzhou.

Guangzhou is the capital of Lingnan Province and the port of trade of Datang.

Merchant ships from all over the world come and go here every day, making it a large number of foreign merchants.

All of Rich's plans will start here.

In order to show his respect for Li Zhi, Dang Renhong, the governor of Guangzhou, personally led people out of the city ten miles to meet Li Zhi.

Dang Renhong thought that Li Zhi was still a child, and he would definitely like the grand pomp.

Therefore, he deliberately organized a large number of people to beat gongs and drums to welcome Li Zhi.

Unexpectedly, his sycophant was slapped firmly on the horse's leg.

Li Zhi couldn't help frowning when he got down from the carriage and saw the scene of greeting.

This scene is a little too spectacular.

And except for a few people with smiles on their faces, most of the other people could clearly see that they didn't want to see him from the bottom of their hearts.

Not only did these people not smile, but they even had a slightly anxious look on their faces.

It was clear that the arrival of Li Zhi had caused them some trouble.

Dang Renhong didn't notice the change in Li Zhi's expression.

He came to Li Zhi with a smile on his face and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has been patrolling the hunting side on behalf of His Majesty, and he has worked hard all the way. ”

Li Zhi smiled and responded: "Lord Dang is polite, this king may need to be bothered for a long time here, and I hope that the adults will take care of it." ”

Dang Renhong said: "Your Highness is laughing, it is the honor of your majesty to serve Your Highness." ”

As he spoke, he began to introduce other officials of the Governor's Mansion to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi first greeted these officials one by one, and then looked around.

He said to Dang Renhong: "This king is here for official business, and the party lord has received such a grand reception, which makes this king a little flattered!" ”

Dang Renhong said with a smile: "This is the intention of the people of Lingnan, and the lower officials can't stop it!" ”

Li Zhidao: "Don't make fun of this king, this king has nothing to do with the people of Lingnan, how can he be so loved by the people?" ”

Although they all said that they would not hit the smiling person, Li Zhi still reminded Dang Renhong vaguely.

Dang Renhong was slightly stunned after listening to Li Zhi's words.

Then he said embarrassedly: "Xu is that the people know that His Highness will definitely bring benefits to them here, so they are so enthusiastic. ”

Li Zhi looked at the people meaningfully and smiled, and then did not continue the topic.

He said to Dang Renhong: "This is a long way to go, this king is really a little tired, I'd better go into the city quickly." ”

The atmosphere at the scene was obviously not warm enough, and Li Zhi did not have a good impression of this kind of formalism.

Therefore, he hastened to make a request to enter the city.

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Dang Renhong did not delay any longer.

He hurriedly sent the welcoming team and then took Li Zhi towards the city of Guangzhou.

Along the way, Li Zhi discovered a very strange phenomenon.

That is, many places outside Guangzhou are very prosperous.

All kinds of tall pavilions and luxurious mansions can be seen almost everywhere.

Just looking at the degree of development outside the city, it seems that it is more prosperous than Chang'an City.

This made him look forward to his trip to Guangzhou.

If this is really going well, then his plan will be implemented much faster.

It's a pity that Li Zhi's expectations didn't last long.

When he entered the city of Guangzhou, he immediately saw an extremely abnormal scene.
