"You have thought about it, this is not an easy task?" After hearing what Li Chengqian wanted to discuss with Li Zhi, Li Xiu couldn't help but show a serious expression. He didn't expect that Li Chengqian would have such an idea after he went to Quzhou for a few years.

"I thought about it. A few years ago, I lost my identity as a prince, and then like an ordinary person, I took my family to Quzhou. Compared with Chang'an, the living conditions there are extremely backward. Even high-yield crops such as potatoes and corn have not been promoted there. It was there that I discovered that I could do so many things that benefit the country and the people with an ordinary person, so now I want to use my own way to do something for the Tang Dynasty!" Li Chengqian said in a light tone at this time, but his expression was extremely firm when he spoke.

Seeing the firm expression on Li Chengqian's face, Li Xiu nodded with relief, but then he said with some concern: "But although your idea is good, I am not sure whether Your Majesty will agree. After all, this matter is deeply involved, and everything depends on Your Majesty's mind."

"Yes, I'm also worried about whether Your Majesty will agree to this matter. However, when His Majesty had a private conversation with me a few days ago, he said that he wanted to add me to Duke, but I was ashamed of it. I guess he would talk to me again after the funeral. Then I will talk to him about this matter in detail." Li Chengqian said again at this time.

"Okay, I'm not going to help you with this matter, but based on my understanding of Your Majesty, whether he will promise you that you should be in the 55th. Then it depends on whether you can tell him?" Li Xiu said again at this time.

"Although my ninth brother is much smaller than me, the situation in my heart is very big, and I believe I can impress him!" Li Chengqian said firmly again. Seeing that he was so confident, Li Xiu didn't say anything else, but asked about his situation in Quzhou.

Li Chengqian not only did a lot of practical things in Quzhou, but also had great changes himself. For example, after he arrived in Quzhou, he actually gave birth to many children. After all, as the former crown prince, his wife and concubines were not small, and even if he was demoted to a commoner, he had excellent food, clothing, housing and transportation. As a result, he had more than a dozen children in just a few years. If he had given birth to this momentum, he would probably soon surpass his father Li Shimin.

However, Li Chengqian gave birth to so many children not because he was greedy for bedtime, but because he found that Quzhou was sparsely populated and the imperial court ruled over it was relatively weak. The key reason was that there were too few people. Therefore, the local area also strongly encouraged women to have children. However, due to the limitations of life, the poor cannot afford to raise children. Although the rich can afford to raise children, women also took great risks when giving birth due to backward medical care. For this reason, Li Chengqian not only gave birth to his own child, but also taught himself the technology of delivery and spread some basic hygiene concepts, which greatly increased the survival rate of infants in Quzhou.

Li Chengqian also did a lot of things like the above, such as promoting the water truck invented by Li Xiu, facilitating local irrigation, etc. These things have actually benefited Quzhou and attracted many refugees to settle down. For a time, Quzhou, which was originally barren, became a rich place.

Although Li Xiu had heard some of the things Li Chengqian did in Quzhou before, he was not as detailed as his personal guards after all. And the more he heard it at the end, the more he was more relieved. Now Li Chengqian is indeed mature and has lived his own life.

The next day, which was the day when Li Shimin's coffin was officially buried, and it was also the day of the funeral. On that day, the entire Chang'an City was covered with plain silk. When the carriage carrying Li Shimin's coffin left the imperial city and entered Zhuque Street, almost all the people in the entire Chang'an City arrived here to see Li Shimin off. Every time the carriage took a step, countless people would kneel down and shout "My emperor", and countless people would cry for it.

Li Shimin helped his father Li Yuan to conquer the whole world, and then threw all his energy into governing the world. Although his misattack was criticized, he was still one of the greatest emperors in history. It was under his leadership that the Tang Dynasty reached a peak of prosperity, and among the emperors after him, no one could reach his height.

On the ten-mile-long Zhuque Street, the funeral team walked for a long time. Because there were too many people coming to see Li Shimin off, Li Zhi couldn't bear to let the soldiers drive away, so the team moved forward very slowly. Even when he left the city gate, a large number of people who saw Li Shimin off were gathered outside. When he saw the coffin leaving the city, these people also knelt down and cried loudly throughout the world.

For ordinary people, they did not care about which emperor was sitting on the dragon throne in the court, but about their daily lives. Li Shimin brought them from the chaotic times of the late Sui Dynasty to the prosperous times of Zhenguan. Under Li Shimin's rule, they not only lived a prosperous life, but also destroyed powerful enemies outside, which made the Tang people receive courtesy wherever they went. However, now that the great emperor has passed away, this makes him both sad and worried about his future life.

"The people in the world are grateful for your kindness, and will never let down your Majesty for more than 30 years of hard work!" Changsun Wuji looked at the people who were kneeling in front of him, and sighed with tears.

"Let's go, I've been delayed for so long in the city, so I can't delay it anymore!" Li Xiu nodded in agreement at first, then sighed and ordered that Li Shimin can be regarded as unprecedented and no one will come after him.

Following Li Xiu's order, the funeral procession passed through the people who were seeing off the fare, and then rushed to Zhaoling. Although Zhaoling is not far away, the funeral procession is too large and not fast, so it is definitely not possible to arrive today. Li Xiu also set up a rest camp on the road, which allows the team to rest for one night, so they must arrive there before dark.

However, even after leaving Chang'an City, there were still many people seeing Li Shimin off on the road, such as the farmer working in the fields, the merchants leading the caravans, the craftsmen who built roads and bridges, etc. When these people encountered the funeral team, they stopped their actions and took the initiative to kneel down on the side of the road to deliver Li Shimin's last journey.

When it was dark, the funeral team finally came to the camp where they were resting for a night and continued to rush to Zhaoling. The next morning, before dawn, the team set off again. In the afternoon, they finally arrived at Zhaoling. However, because the coffin could only be buried in the morning, the coffin needs to be parked in Zhaoling for one night and will not be buried until the next day.
