"Although Linyi Country is small, it is a very useful place!" I sighed and said, "Where is Linyi Country? The barbarians only have 200,000 to 300,000 barbarians, but do you know how much rice they produce? More than 10 million stones, do you know what is near Linyi Country? There are countless iron, coal, copper, and countless pearls and products. To the west of Linyi Country, there are vast plains, where there are countless iron, mahogany, and cypress wood.

There are also many spices of purple stems, cinnamon, rosin, and fennel, as well as Codonopsis pilosula, Panax notoginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, Amomum villosum, Morinica, Coptis chinensis and other precious medicinal materials... There are several natural and excellent ports near Linyi Kingdom. The products of Linyi Kingdom can be transported by sea without land by sea..." I kept telling the wealth of Linyi area. Every time I said, Li Yan's eyes were brighter. In the end, Li Yan's eyes could almost compete with the bright moon in the sky.

I returned to the chair and sat down, and said to Li Yan standing beside me: "The forests in the south of Linyi alone have countless wealth. What can you have in the state? Do you know that after arriving in Linyi, it was a peninsula that was nearly half the size of the Tang Dynasty, and its richness..."

Li Yan was both excited and confused: "The master's words made Yan realize that Linyi has great potential, but what should I do? I hope Master will give me advice."

"Do I need to teach you this? Grow grain first. In the southern part of Linyi Kingdom, it is a seven-ripe place in two years. With grain, and then develop other things, you can also do more maritime trade with Lingnan and Jiangnan, and continuously deal with other places in the Tang Dynasty. But there is one thing you have to remember, build roads. This is the most important thing. If you want to gain a foothold in Linyi, you must first build roads. First, it can accelerate local development and trade exchanges. Second, if there is anything strange about Linyi land, my army in Lingnan in the Tang Dynasty will arrive day and night..."

The next day, Li Zhi was also invited by me. The prince came to give him the confidence of his father and brother. Secondly, he also let Li Zhi know what I said to Li Yan. At least, people cannot doubt what I did bad things. They should not have the intention to harm others, but they should be wary of others.

Uncle Li and Li Zhi were so hungry about the wealth of Linyi Kingdom that he almost drooled out. Now he sent a son to guard the country. I also drew a perfect bread and threw it to Li Yan as Uncle Li told me. The rest can only be seen by Uncle Li himself.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

However, as I was planning for Uncle Li and risked being impeached, Uncle Li was in return. The first thing he did after Li Yan took office was to transfer 500,000 stones of Chameng rice seeds from Yizhou to Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Mingzhou, Yangzhou, and the newly established Liuzhou, which is the Xingang of Liuqiu Island.

"Son-in-law, I have to thank you very much. If you hadn't convinced him, I would have a headache and be nagged by others." Uncle Li raised his glass to me and invited me to drink. I naturally knew that Uncle Li pointed to others, which was Li Ke and Li Yandi's biological mother, Concubine Yang.

I took a sip of wine: "It's not that your Majesty has arranged it properly, and the son-in-law is just doing it on orders. But my father-in-law, the son-in-law wants to ask, is His Highness the King of Shu going here to be in charge of civil affairs?"

"Huh?" Uncle Li rolled his eyes: "What a great question was from the question of the virtuous son-in-law. The governor of Yizhou is naturally the chief military and civil affairs."

"Your Majesty, I think that since the Tang Dynasty has begun military reforms and is preparing to carry out military and political affairs across the country, but now you are like this..." I looked at Uncle Li and said halfway, and Uncle Li thought about it himself.

Uncle Li held a chopstick of vegetables, raised it up, put it down, and looked at me. I lowered my head: "Your Majesty is the king of a country. Every move is the focus of the world. In everything, the country is the most important, and the law is the law. I hope Your Majesty thinks twice. Military power and civil affairs should not be gathered in one person's hands. Otherwise, just like the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, the power of the country fell and the princes were stronger than the country, which was really unwise."

"Maybe you are right, the prince breaks the law and is guilty of the people. Since I am the emperor and have issued an edict, how can it vary from person to person?" Uncle Li's fingers knocked on the desk, and I didn't say anything more.

Uncle Li narrowed his eyes: "I will take back the military powers in my sons step by step, but now is not the time. I cannot let everyone in the world think wrongly, so, 杨, is my touchstone."

Li Yan was finally issued the imperial edict of being the governor of Yizhou by Jin. However, Li Yan had only the power to supervise civil affairs. The military power was supervised by Duke Feng Ang of Yue. The command and dispatching power of military forces must be jointly issued by the General Staff and Uncle Li, the Emperor, His Majesty. The Minister of War gave the Tiger Talisman to release the tiger talisman to be effective. In this way, the ambition of the Venerable King was completely limited. At least at this stage, the British King was the most desirable for the Venerable King not to control the troops. Liaodong, which was originally occupied, adopted such measures. Cen Wenben was in charge of civil affairs and Xue Wanche was in charge of military affairs. Now, the King of Shu Li Yan was in charge of civil affairs and Duke Feng Ang of Yue was in charge of military affairs. At the same time, it was also a signal, a signal of military division, which made the civil and military affairs of the Tang Dynasty, all the provinces and states, clearly understood and saw that Uncle Li's desire to carry out military and political reforms became stronger.

Li Yan didn't care whether he had military power or not. What he cared more about was the wealth of Yizhou, and I drew big cakes for him. In addition, I also arranged manpower to expand the business to the south. "Borrow chickens and lay eggs, our family must be enterprising. If the business does not progress, it is equivalent to regressing. Hehehe..." I proudly scratched the big dog Benben squatting in front of me, and I named all the three smartest Chow Chow, and the boss called Benben, which was to commemorate the dog I loved in later generations. The second next to it was called Wangcai and the second was called Fugui. It is a very vulgar name, but it is very in line with my enterprising spirit of hoping that my family will be rich and make money every day.

"You are still in the Tang Dynasty. How could you give your dog such an ugly name?" The palace maid patted Fugui who was lying on his feet lovingly, and threw it into the distance with a piece of flesh bone. The cute Fugui was like hearing the horn of charge, and suddenly rushed out.

Benbian narrowed his eyes lazily, still enjoying me scratching his belly. Li Shu next to him was standing on his legs. Poor, the hunting dog was almost the toy of my beautiful girl.

"Today, the old man talked to me about something. In the past two years, although my Tang Dynasty has been conquering every year, its population has increased faster than before. In the early years of Zhenguan, the population of my Tang Dynasty was only 2 million households. Now, there are three million households and more than 17 million people."

Li Shu pulled the wrench and couldn't help but say shocked: "It's amazing. In less than twenty years since Zhenguan, the population has increased so much at once?"

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

"Yes, our Tang Dynasty lacks everything, but it never lacks population." I smiled proudly and waved my head, cleared my throat: "In the 17th year of Zhenguan, the population of Guanzhong was 400,000 households, which was more than 2.3 million. By the end of this year, the population was 300,000 households, which was more than 1.7 million, which was 600,000. I am afraid that next year, this number will decrease. However, the land tax in Guanzhong last year and this year increased by 20% compared with previous years. Hahaha..."

"As far as it is concerned, it is not the credit of our handsome man. Over the years, the people and the government and the people will complain. But now, the people have agreed to be the people, and there is no opposition." Cheng Luanluan leaned on the recliner, holding a sandalwood fan and slapped it gently. Her lazy eyes were half-closed, looking at me, full of affection and love, and she was proud of having such a capable man.

"It is also a method of land replacement. The Guanzhong area is too dense and has a narrow and dense land. The equal-field system of the Tang Dynasty can be used everywhere, but it is the most difficult to implement in Guanzhong. Why is it because the people have insufficient land and have little harvest. Once a disaster occurs, it is easy to famine. Now people migrate to Liaodong, Hetao and Jiangnan. Now even in Longyou, people are moving to plant cotton. It can all alleviate the land pressure in the Guanzhong area of ​​our Tang Dynasty, and also allow the vast land of our Tang Dynasty to replenish a lot of labor, and develop these places for our Tang Dynasty, which plays a great role in developing these places, and is also conducive to our Tang Dynasty consolidating border defense. Speaking of which, Your Majesty can see far. If it were someone else, I would not be so brave and dare to use the strategy of a handsome man..."

"Yes, Your Majesty is worthy of being Your Majesty, the founding king, and the wise and courageous lord." I took the tea handed over by Li Shu seriously, took a sip of Li Shu's father's flattery. The little girl raised her eyebrows and smiled and drew a circle on my chest: "June Lang, you have to be concerned about our field in Liaodong, so you can't just watch it, right? That's ten thousand acres of good fertile fields. Now all you plant is millet and wheat, and the output is too low."

"Little girl, what are you going to do?" I grinned and pinched the beauty's face and said with a smile. I became a mother, but she was still so smart. Every move, she looked at the smoke and looked charmingly, and the evil fire was always running around.
