A few days later, the eight hundred miles northeast direction quickly reported to Chang'an City, which was sent by the garrison of Fuyu City. The northeast was short of food and was about to be short of food, and the people were already restless.

Li Er came to Fang Xuanling, the prime minister was responsible for the overall planning of Northeast immigration and city construction.

"Fang Qing, how big is the population vacant in various states across the country? Has the statistics been completed?"

Fang Xuanling took out a booklet from his body, looked around, and said respectfully: "Report to Your Majesty, the statistics have been basically completed, and now there is no reply between Henan and Tubo roads."

Li Er said, "Tubo Road was hosted by Sier Qingque. The climate there is bad, the people are in distress, and they are self-sufficient and have to be tight. Compared with the plateau of the Tubo Road, the northeast grassland can be said to be a paradise, so the Tubo Road does not need to be considered.

What's going on with Henan Road? It's so close to Chang'an that it's reported from other places. Why are they late?

Don’t Henan Yin know that this is a national policy?”

Fang Xuanling speculated: "According to the current situation analysis, after the state road below gets this news, there will be two extreme ideas. One is to regard this action as a task assigned by the court. In order to please Shangguan and the court, officials at all levels are reporting more.

Li Er interrupted sternly: "Bastard! Is this unreasonable?

We finally moved the people of the northern grassland to the Central Plains. If we still let them suffer from hunger, these people will make a big fuss.

If the roads of each state go too far, they will not be able to support them in the future. Wouldn’t that cause trouble for the court?

Fang Qing, if you keep an eye on this matter, you must not lay hidden dangers.”

"Yes, the old minister has sent the censor to verify."

"Didn't you say there is a second type?" Li Er asked.

Speaking of this second type, Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and said, "The second type is exactly the opposite of this first type. Officials in these places believe that the local grain output is not enough, and the local land is not enough for their own family to cultivate, so they will divide some of them to support the Hu people? That will definitely make things worse.

Two states reported a small amount to deal with the matter, and several states simply replied that there is no shortage of people!"

Li Er slapped the table and said angrily: "It's all short-sighted wine bags!

When the Han Dynasty was in its prime, the population was numerous. Now the population of our Tang Dynasty is less than half of the Han Dynasty, so why can’t we support it?

Is there no place that can understand the good intentions of the court?”

Unexpectedly, Fang Xuanling smiled this time, "When it comes to this, I want to congratulate Your Majesty."

"Oh? Tell me quickly, where is it? Such a minister with vision and courage should be valued."

"There are two places, one is Jiannan Road, and the one who presided over the matter here was King Shu Li Yan.

After receiving the court documents, the Sixth Highness immediately set off and rushed to Chang'an day and night. This morning, he personally found the old minister, with only one purpose, and wanted someone!

No, it should be said that it is more appropriate to grab people!"

Who? Xiao Liu?

Li Er said in surprise: "Yes, I heard from Gao Ming (Li Chengqian's name) that Xiao Liu was determined to split the mountains and build a road for the people of Shu in Jiannan Road. He was the one who lacked the most people there.

Yes, I can recognize this opportunity and know that I will come here to grab people. Xiao Liu has grown up."

"Yes, I haven't seen you for a few years. The old minister almost recognized Your Highness Six. He is thin and capable, and he has no childishness at all. It's a joyful congratulation!" Fang Xuanling praised.

Li Er frowned and said, "This kid can't even call back when he goes to the fiefdom. This time he will come back quickly and don't go home to pay homage to his parents. How can it be?"

Fang Xuanling could see that His Majesty was feeling sorry for the child and pretended to be angry. He explained for Li Yan: "Your Majesty, don't blame Your Highness Six. First, public and then private. The old minister thinks that there is nothing wrong with Your Highness Six."

When Li Er heard someone praise his son, he laughed: "Haha, okay, when he comes back, I will talk to him in person.

You just said that besides Jiannan Road, there is another place?"

"The other one, also a prince, is His Highness the King of Wu from Jiangnan Road."

Who? Ke'er? Li Er was surprised again.

He didn't expect that all the officials under his command would be reluctant to do anything, but his two sons were so sensible, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

"Yes, it was the third prince Li Ke. Although he did not come in person, he sent his general Su Lie to meet the old minister, saying that when Jiangnan was developing vigorously, he would build ports and coastal cities for future maritime trade.

I hope that without affecting other places, I can allocate more Hu people to Jiangnan.

Compared to the Sixth Prince, the Third Prince is much more stable.”

Li Er nodded and said, "Well, Ke'er is a few years older after all, and has experienced the battlefield and political affairs. It is also necessary to consider it more comprehensively."

Having said this, Li Er stopped and stopped talking. Unlike just praising Li Yan, he did not praise Li Ke, but instead fell into deep thought.

Fang Xuanling didn't understand it, or he could understand it and guess it, pretended not to see it.

The two talented officials in the border areas are both princes, and they are brothers and mothers. What does this mean?

Naturally, His Majesty will not have prejudice or worry about these two sons. On the contrary, he will appreciate it more and more. Even more, it is possible to consider comparing with the eldest prince Li Chengqian. However, these are not what Fang Xuanling wants to ask about. He does not want to participate in the matter of establishing a crown prince unless it is absolutely necessary.

A moment later, Li Er came to his senses. In order to hide his incompetence, he deliberately asked a question: "Fang Qing, was it that you gave instructions to these two children?"

Forehead……

Fang Xuanling's face turned red, "Of course not. Your Majesty, you have thought too much. How could the old minister be biased as prime minister?

For this matter, the old minister sent capable people to various places to explain in detail the reasons and benefits of immigration, whether he could understand, whether he would believe and support him, all the people in charge of the government in various places.

As for the two princes, the old minister thinks that they are tiger fathers but dog sons!”

"My dear, you're so crisp and loud, not like your old and steadfast person, right? You know I don't like this."

Li Er joked like this, but the expression on his face had long been betrayed himself. He was very fond of this, and it depends on who would take a photo of the flattery.

Fang Xuanling continued: "Anyway, the old minister did nothing. If possible, maybe it was Du Fu, but he was a busy man, so he shouldn't have to do it."

Li Er nodded and said, "Yes, in recent months, Shaoqing has been running between the chamber of commerce and medical centers, which is not easy.

Xiaoliu was not upset at that time, and he was left under Shaoqing for two years before he became the only prince now. Ke'er and Chengqian had Du Shaoqing's teachings. I want to thank him, a good teacher.

Forget it, let’s talk about it now. An urgent report was issued in Fuyu City in the northeast. There was a food shortage there, so the immigration matter must be decided as soon as possible. At most, it will take action for one month and you can’t delay it.”

“Yes, the old minister stepped up the supervision.

There is another thing. Lingnan said that there is also a shortage of people there. Because they have just taken a large area to grab land and grow grain, the locals are very uncivilized, so if they want to transfer people from the north, the Hu people can do it."

"What about your opinion?"

"The Annan area captured by Lingnan is now the first relief granary in the Tang Dynasty. Since they are short of people and are still farmers, we should fully support and send capable farming talents.

The Hu people in the north did not know how to farm, and with geographical location and climate problems, the Hu people moved to tropical areas, probably because they were not suitable for the local environment, so the old ministers rejected their ideas.

I would like to ask Your Majesty if you can draw people who are willing to go from a large population in the south to go south to support it?"

Li Er laughed loudly and pointed at Fang Xuanling and said, "You are worthy of being the prime minister. You want to take into account both. Not only will the northern Hu people go south to immigrate, but also follow this plan and let the people of the Central Plains explore the extreme south. It is very good. It is of course excellent to be able to do it in two ways.

You should be responsible for this matter.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if Lingnan wants some Hu people. Since they have proposed it, they have considered it. If someone really wants to go, let Lingnan come and pick it up. Immigration must be conscientious and can take care of it at your discretion."

The two of them quickly settled their general actions.

On the same day, Fang Xuanling sent officials to urge Henan Road to get rewards, and Henan Road should not be a waste of people.

It’s not that it excludes different races. The reasons for local officials are very straightforward. Henan Province is not short of people, and the food they produce is not enough to eat. How can they share the share of foreign Hu people?

The reason why he did not reply for a long time was that Henan Yin was newly appointed and did not dare to make decisions without authorization. He only gave a cautious reply after soliciting opinions from all parties under his command.

Fang Xuanling was not surprised after hearing this. As expected, there were many accidents in Luoyang, and it was difficult for the chief officers of Henan Road to be the chief officers. There were many local people and the forces were mixed. If you want to find a place for the Hu people to settle down, it would be difficult for the local chief officers.

At the same time, after the sixth prince Li Yan visited Fang Xuanling, he did not return to the palace to pay homage to his parents at the second stop, but went straight to the clinic to find Du Shaoqing, and meet his group of his brothers.

"Hahahaha, I, Hu Hansan, are finally back..." Li Yan shouted and ran to the clinic.

This voice made the doctor and the patient in the clinic hall confused, and the Sihu, who had been a bandit, shuddered, thinking that this slander was not taught by the shopkeeper? Are the bad guys here?

"Ha! Where did you come from? How dare you come to the imperial physician to cause trouble?" Sihu roared.

Li Yan was excited for a moment and did not stop his feet. He directly collided with Sihu. His weak body was bounced back and fell on the hard bluestone road.

"Oh, I haven't come back for a long time. It's okay if you don't let me welcome you, why don't you recognize me?

Sihu, you can see clearly. It’s me, I! Are there any neatly dressed ruffians like me?"

"Nequipped? Black boy, look at yourself in the mirror, as if you were fleeing in famine. Don't get close to me, just like a drunk man who has drunken wine. The rogue never admits that he is a rogue." Sihu didn't look at him directly.

That's right, Li Yan looked down at his body. He had been on the road for days and had been so tired that he was so haggard. He had just been going to visit the house before? It was so rude!

At this time, the others in the clinic were also attracted. Chang Baicao was the first to recognize Li Yan, "You, are you, Liuzi?"

"Ahem, I'll say third senior brother, can these nicknames be called privately? It's on the street?" Li Yan said this, but he felt happy. Chang Baicao had a different relationship with him. The two of them were good brothers who shared life and death.

"It's really Junior Brother Xiaoliu. Are you back? How did you cause this kind of virtue? Is there a disaster in Shu?" Han Yueming said with concern.

Sihu next to him reminded a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, it turns out that the Sixth Prince is back. It's too sudden. I didn't recognize the fourth brother. Don't stand outside, go into the house and say."

Li Yan strode in and said affectionately: "For you to know that I am back, I won't bother with you anymore, which means you know that I am my family.

But Sihu, you can't call me Your Highness, it's the same as before, you call me Xiaoliu, and I call you Sihu."

"Haha, no problem, I'll listen to you."

After walking in, Li Yan greeted several gentlemen who were sitting in the hall, and then a group of people surrounded him and went to the back house.

"Little junior sister, please come out quickly and see who is back?" Chang Baicao shouted inside.

Xiao Xuanxuan replied impatiently from the ward: "Don't urge me, I'm changing the dressings for Uncle Su. Once you interrupt, I have to wrap gauze for him again."

Everyone laughed, Li Yan was confused, and everyone explained it in a slight manner.
