"Why do you want to kill Zhang Seventeen, this person is very useful." Knowing that the 17 brothers Zhang and the 13 brothers all died in the chaos, Li Daoyan asked while drinking tea. It's like asking why you killed a stray dog.

"The two of them have been in Dongting Lake for too long, although Zhang Seventeen is still clever. But he can't play in that place in Chang'an, once he gets angry or something else. It is certain that they will return to Dongting Lake, they have connections and family backgrounds, plus they are native to their hometown. I can pull up a queue in October, and I don't want to come to Jiangnan again.

It's better if it's winter, and if it's summer, mosquitoes alone will eat you. This Dongting Lake is not Guanzhong, and it is not possible to completely calm it overnight. Yun Hao looked at the vast Dongting Lake and said with a sigh. The Zhang brothers are all dead, and the people under them also suffered heavy casualties because of the fire.

Those who were not dead and uninjured were all packed and taken away by Yun Hao. These are all small minions, and they can't make big waves without the prestige of the Zhang brothers. Now the inside of Dongting Lake is very good, although it is not clean but it is quiet.

"You kid always have an excuse, and unloading the mill and killing the donkey also makes you speak in a high-sounding manner. It's just that what are you calling that kid for? Li Daoyan's chin was raised, and the direction was Du He, who followed Li Chengqian.

"It's nothing, I just want to develop the two lakes. Dongting Lake receives so much water from the Yangtze River every year, and at the same time, it also receives a lot of silt. The 800-mile radius of Dongting Lake is all good fertile land. Because of the climate, rice can be produced twice a year. If you really use and develop two households, this is definitely the land of fish and rice. When the time comes, the two lakes will be familiar with the world. Yun Hao looked at Yun Mengze in front of him, this is the famous land of fish and rice in later generations. But now, it's more of a wilderness.

As early as the former Sui Dynasty, the Yang family's imperial court had begun to pay attention to the development of the two lakes. Helplessly, there were frequent wars in the north. It is impossible for the imperial court to have so much energy to develop the two lakes that lag behind the whole country.

Of course, the most important thing is that the northerners are reluctant to immigrate to the two lakes, and the different climatic conditions have caused the northerners to be seriously unadaptable. The former Sui even positioned the two lakes as a place for exiled prisoners for a time!

In the last years of the former Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the imperial court was even less able to develop the two lakes. The Li Tang Dynasty, which was established at the beginning of Guozuo, was good to be able to stabilize the two lakes, and it was even less powerful to develop the two lakes.

The water bandits in Dongting Lake said that the officials forced the people to rebel. In fact, it is more because of poverty and abundance that ghosts are willing to float on the water all day long and live a life with today and no tomorrow. To put it bluntly, poverty is the root cause of the instability of the two lakes. If the problem of poverty is not solved, this place will definitely be chaotic again.

"You think this place will be the land of fish and rice?" Li Daoyan's eyes widened, as if he had heard the best joke in the world.

"Don't believe me?" Yun Hao squinted at Li Daoyan.

"Faith! How not to believe it! I believe everything you say! I'm just curious, the land of fish and rice. Where are the fishermen, and where are the rice growers? Li Daoyan looked at Yun Hao playfully.

Yun Hao sighed helplessly, after the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty. The population of Datang has fallen to a terrible trough, and the population of Datang in the four years of Zhenguan is only 12 million. Even the imperial capital and the magic capital of later generations are not comparable, and even the population of some second-tier cities is only available.

Such a large number of people is scattered throughout a huge empire. Guanzhong is naturally a population concentration area, but it can be reached in the south. People are like sprinkling pepper noodles on the earth, and no rooster cries for thousands of miles is not just a poem.

Li Daoyan is right, if you want to develop, you can't do without people. But where are the people? Although the population is growing, it can take more than ten years for a child to grow up at the earliest. It is definitely a stupid idea to develop the two lakes now. When the country has a population, it must first fill the northwest and Hebei. In this way, the invasion of foreign tribes can be effectively contained.

"You're right, we don't have anyone right now. But don't forget that since the seventh year of Wude's world, the population has been gradually growing. Sooner or later, the land in the north will be overwhelmed, and when the time comes, the development of the two lakes will require a person who knows the two lakes well. ”

"You have taken a fancy to that kid, he can be the prince's person. Now he is very popular in the East Palace, and the future is limitless, if Lao Du knows that you fool his son and do not walk in the East Palace of the Prince. Hey! This feud is going to be big, be careful that Lao Du hits you Lintong. Li Daoyan smiled playfully.

"This can be said, Fang Mou Du Du You think it's all fake. Whether it is the Fang family or the Du family, they are not the gate valves of the five surnames and seven sects. Although they are in a high position, they will still be pressed by the gate valve and cannot raise their heads. In the end, there is still a lack of substance. How do you know that Du He came to Jiangnan this time not to stay in Jiangnan? Yun Hao looked at Li Daoyan with a smile.

Li Daoyan was stunned, thought for a while, and then understood. "Are you saying that Lao Du has now begun to lay out for his children and grandchildren?"

"Yes! The place in Chang'an is full of treachery, and God knows who will be the unlucky one. Leave a retreat for your children and grandchildren, even if you lose in Chang'an, you can have a place to settle down. There is news that Du He is about to become Zhang Baoxiang's other driver. I heard that the Divine Decree was already on the way. Yun Hao said slightly mysteriously.

"You mean, Your Majesty also acquiesced to Lao Du's actions?" Li Daoyan is not stupid, and he immediately understood that this was the result of Li Er's acquiescence.

If Du Ruhui did this, maybe it could be said that Lao Du was his own behavior. But after Li Er acquiesced, this became a landmark event. Li Er wants to separate the magnates from Chang'an!

"The eldest grandson Wuji is Zhao Guogong, and his son eldest grandson is going to Hebei. Cheng Yanjin's son Cheng Chumo is going to Shandong, and Wei Chigong's son is also coming to Jiangnan to ......! Although they held different official positions, what they had in common was that they all became civil servants. Don't ask me how I know, these people are all studying at Lishan Academy now. I'm just waiting to graduate next year and go to work! ”

Li Daoyan's eyes were bright and uncertain, like two ghost fires under the reflection of the candle flame. Yun Hao hurriedly left this distraught guy and explained to Du He that it was the right thing.

"See Duke Chu! The Duke of Chu was able to quell the Dongting Lake bandits in the tenth month and capture hundreds of pirates from the Japanese Kingdom. The name of my first general in the Tang Dynasty is indeed worthy of his name. Du He was tall and thin, and his face was white, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute after seeing Yun Hao. Although he is about the same age, Yun Hao's status is much higher than Du He's.

"Du Gongzi! Don't be polite, I have known Du Xiang for many years, and the Du family can produce a young talent like you, which shows that Du Xiang has a good way to teach his son. People give face, and Yun Hao doesn't mind perfunctory sentences. In the future, the interests of the Yun family will have to rely on the help of this kid, and the relationship will always get along well.

Seeing the politeness of the two people, Li Chengqian also said with a smile: "I thought I would have to stay in Jiangnan for a while, but now it seems that there is no need for it." A letter came from the capital saying that his father had made a will to declare that the Duke of Chu would return to Beijing in triumph. ”

Li Chengqian was very satisfied with this trip to Jiangnan, military merits, money, except for what a woman should get. In terms of women, the eldest grandson is not generally strict. specially sent a letter to Yun Hao, and also gave Li Daoyan a thousand instructions. Zhang Baoxiang, who had already prepared a beautiful woman for Li Chengqian, was very familiar with the current affairs and transferred the beauty to the king of Jiaodong.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Duke Chu!" Zhang Baoxiang walked upstairs with a smile. In this celebration banquet held in Yueyang Tower today, he can be regarded as the host. The water bandits in Dongting Lake will be determined by a battle, and he will be very comfortable in the future.

"Lord Thorn Shi, this is late for a treat, but I will be fined three glasses of wine." After pondering, Li Daoyan came over and said.

Ay......! None of them are fools, and they figured out the value of the two lakes so quickly. As long as it is related to the wallet, people's brains turn the fastest. These guys are all working hard for their families.

It's okay this way, these people have the right to wealth, and they have a fucking heart to get rich. With their support, I believe that the two lakes will be able to prosper. For at least three years, the two lakes are not subject to taxes.

Everyone sat down and immediately staggered! Yun Hao looked at the grape brew in the golden cup, and suddenly felt that this thing was red like blood.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

The streets of Chang'an sounded a rapid street cleaning drum, and Li Er stood at the door of the Taiji Hall and looked at the magnificent capital city under his feet. The sky is as dark as ink, and the silver moon is like a disk. In the joy of victory, the cold moonlight also seemed to become rounded.

The eldest grandson quietly appeared behind Li Er, and a large mink fur was draped on Li Er's body. As soon as his hand left Dayu, his waist was hugged by Li Er. The eldest grandson glanced at Li Er with disgust! The palace attendants behind him all lowered their heads. Even breathing became cautious, and if something happened at this time, people would die.

"Cheng Qian did a good job in Jiangnan and captured the bandit leaders of the Japanese people alive. I also caught more than 300 jobs, and there is a capable prince, who can ensure that my Li family has no worries for three generations. Li Er was very happy with his son's exploits.

In the past, some people said that the prince was cowardly and pedantic, but now no one says so. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are boasting of the great martial arts of His Royal Highness the Prince. At the age of twelve, leading the army to achieve such a big victory is indeed worth boasting about.

"Cheng Qian, this kid has been in the palace for too long, so it's good to experience it. The prince of a country should also know the things above the battle array. The battle between the two lakes was decided, and the concubines congratulated His Majesty and the Tang Dynasty. "In the mouth of the eldest grandson, there is never a shortage of words to praise virtue.

Even if the two kissed like one person, she still liked to say that. What man doesn't like to be adored by a beloved woman? Perhaps this is the reason why Li Er has to spend most of his time in the Changsun Palace every month.

"But this time I went out, and I learned badly from Yun Hao's slippery head. The recital to me actually said that the barren bandits in Jiangnan eat grass and trees for food, and they have very few seizures. "Think about my son who made a fortune in Jiangnan, but he didn't share the spoils to Lao Tzu. Li Er's heart began to feel unhappy!

The Battle of the Grassland emptied the treasury of the Tang Dynasty, if it weren't for Yun Hao's brutal robbery of Goryeo. Datang's financial crisis will continue, although it is better now. But the money is always not enough to spend, and the name of the iron rooster is firmly on the head of the eldest grandson Wuji. Sometimes, even Li Er's approval doesn't work.

Lack of money! The Battle of the Grassland is actually a money-losing goods, no wonder Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the grassland for decades, and actually squandered the foundation left by the rule of Wenjing. The life of the people was miserable.

There doesn't seem to be much output in that place except for cattle and sheep. Hou Junji is still leading the army to sweep on the grassland, and if there is no subordinate, he will be killed. Steel knives and blood have become the two eternal themes on the grassland, and the grassland is full of voices of surrender under high pressure. The name of Tian Khan is already on par with Tengger.

"Yun Hao, that's a money waterlog, I don't know what to do with so much money? Yun Zhang's family entered the palace yesterday and asked the palace to prepare some money. said that there was a big deal to do, and only the palace and the prince could buy shares. Your Majesty, you say ......! The eldest grandson said with some hesitation.

"Oh, how much to prepare?" Li Er asked with interest.

Every time Yun Hao did business, he pulled Li Er with him. Now the Yun family's business is almost Li Er's business. The dividends of the Yun family every year are a big benefit for the inner government. Li Er was very interested in Yun Hao's big business.

"It is said that it will be at least 600,000 guan, and the Yun family will pay 300,000 guan. The prince is out of 100,000! "The eldest grandson said with some difficulty.

"A million bucks of business?" Li Er gasped and looked at his eldest grandson in surprise. A million yuan, that's a lot of money. Datang's annual income is only 6 million.

What does Yun Hao want so much money for, the copper coins like mountains are enough to bury Lintong.

"That's true, that's why the concubine came to ask Your Majesty! Yun Zhang said, what kind of money is he going to do. What else did you say about the world, and the concubines didn't understand it so they came to ask His Majesty's opinion. ”

Li Er patted his wife's shoulder, he knew that the eldest grandson was talking nonsense. If she didn't figure it out, she wouldn't have come to tell herself. What other words do you use to attract yourself, fools know that Li Er likes to listen to the world's words and phrases the most. In fact, everything that has to do with the sky can successfully arouse Li Er's interest.

"Connect the world! Connect the world! Well, it's kind of loyal. Know to leave the big head to me! If the queen does it, the money of the inner house will be called by you. Doing business with the Yun family will definitely not lose money. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty for your trust! The concubine asked her brother, and he also said that this was a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people. Seeing that Li Er agreed, the eldest grandson moved the elder brother out. If Li Er disagreed, she would never say that the eldest grandson Wuji also knew about it.

"The Tang Zhenguan Siyi surrendered, it is time to do something that benefits the country and the people and improves the people's livelihood. In my world, the people always rebel, how can this be done! ”
