Li Hao and Ma Zhou ate and drank happily in the private room of Fuman Building, in fact, the food and wine were very ordinary, but drinking this kind of thing, you have to find the right person, drink with the right person, and really drink everything is very fragrant. Fastest updates

During the banquet, the two of them also had endless words, after all, Li Hao had left Chang'an for too long, even if he occasionally passed a book with the flying pigeon in Chang'an, it was a simple summary of the political situation in the court, Li Hao actually had a lot of questions to ask, such as how Li Zhi was doing, whether Wei Zheng was in good health, whether Ma Zhou himself had been strictly controlling his diet according to his instructions, etc., these things could not be said on a small note, and Ma Zhou could tell him in detail now.

After eating a meal for three hours, the two of them also chatted for three hours, and it was dark before they dispersed, Li Hao sent Zhu Ruihuan to escort Ma Zhou to the post house, and he took Chen Song and Situ Feng to find an inn to live in, and there was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Li Hao left Guangzhou and went back.

Back to Liuqiu, Li Hao sent Lu Yun to Gaozhou, with the carrier pigeon, as long as the side is ready, the carrier pigeon will be released, and after the Liuqiu side receives the carrier pigeon, he will send a fleet to pick up people.

Ten days later, Ma Zhou requisitioned more than 200 sea ships, and the victims were also collected, and it was really exceeded, and it exceeded 50,000, a full 150,000 people.

Ma Zhouquan naturally turned a blind eye, and those officials of Lingnan Province were secretly happy, it can be said that they were all happy, although Ma Zhou prepared a lot of ships, but it is impossible to transport all the victims away at one time, these sea boats are not big, each can only carry up to 200 people, a total of 258 ships, if you want to transport all the victims away, it takes at least three trips, the first trip transported 40,000 people to Qiongnan, Cui Peng sent people to Haikou Port to pick up, and took this group of victims to Qiongzhou City and the newly built county seat that have been prepared.

On the second trip, Ma Zhou personally went to sea with the ship, and just two days after going to sea, Li Hao and their fleet came, a total of twenty-eight Galen ships, and when Ma Zhou saw these big ships, he was stunned.

Next, Ma Zhou used the excuse that the sea was too stormy and needed to change to a big ship, so that all these victims got on Li Hao's big ship, more than 50,000 people, and stuffed Li Hao's big boats to the brim, and then these boats full of disaster victims drove to Liuqiu, and when they got off the boat, it was still the old practice, and each person first took the usual money as a settlement fee.

The victims didn't know that this was Liuqiu, and thought that when they arrived in Qiongnan, it didn't matter where they were, all they cared about was whether they could live a good life, and the prosperous harbor and city gave them confidence, and of course, the usual settlement fee was also very encouraging.

There are more than 50,000 people in Liuqiu, and now the Han population in Liuqiu has reached 100,000, and the effect is immediately different, Lu Yun no longer has to worry about which construction site is not enough workers, and the wages of those indigenous workers have also dropped, why, because there was a shortage of manpower before, now we have so many Tang people to work, do you still need you natives, you are no longer an uncle, if you want to work, you can come, if you don't want to work, get out, the salary is like this, love to do it or not.

For this phenomenon, the indigenous people have no choice but to pinch their noses to bear it, they are now accustomed to the life of the Tang people, if they are still allowed to go back to live the life of the indigenous, they will definitely not be willing, this is the truth from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift.

Liuqiu is developing, Qiongnan is not lagging behind, Cui Peng since he was lit by Li Hao, he is really handy in doing things, more and more confident, while helping those victims settle down, while encouraging them to reclaim the fields with preferential policies, after this flood, he also pays more attention to water conservancy projects, and all kinds of things are arranged in an orderly manner, and Li Hao does not need to teach him anymore, he is completely enlightened.

Li Hao is still begging, looking at the thriving and vigorous development of Liuqiu, Li Hao is very happy.

At the time of the catastrophe of Liuqiu and Qiongnan, Li Shimin had just arrived in Liaodong and began to conquer Goguryeo, but he did not expect to receive a letter from Chang'an less than a month after the war, Qiongnan and Jiangnan suffered a catastrophic flood, Li Shimin was sad, this flood came at a really bad time, but he took advantage of the time when he drove the expedition, thinking about the little grain left in the treasury, Li Shimin really wanted to go back immediately, he was worried that Li Zhi could not deal with this kind of major event.

But the army went out to fight and returned in vain, which was very unlucky, and it was seriously damaging to the national prestige of the Tang Dynasty, and the ministers dissuaded him, so Li Shimin could only continue to fight, fought for two or three months, captured many cities in Goguryeo, and captured a lot of prisoners.

Li Shimin was so happy that night that he didn't sleep all night, he was really happy, he didn't expect the seemingly mediocre Li Zhi to be unambiguous in dealing with national affairs, such a big disaster, it was so easy to calm down, and Li Zhi used people very well this time, Ma Zhou is not only loyal, but also capable, is a talent, if it is Li Shimin, he will also be sent to treat the disaster, as for the two people who built the water conservancy, Li Shimin asked himself, even if it was himself, he probably couldn't think of appointing those two people, but he didn't expect Li Zhi to be wise and send these two people, Sure enough, he quickly cured the water, and as an emperor, he may not have the ability, but he must be able to use people, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are the best examples.

Thinking of Li Zhi, Li Shimin couldn't help but think of Li Hao again, he still remembered the scene of his last conversation with Li Hao, at that time Li Hao said that the reason why he supported Li Zhi as the crown prince was because Li Zhi was the only one who was most suitable to take over the throne, Li Shimin didn't believe it at first, but now he has to admit that Li Zhi is really getting more and more like a prince, and Li Hao is very discerning.

Although he admits that Li Hao has vision and chose the right prince, he is still angry about Li Hao's deception of himself, because he is an arrogant Tian Khan, he does not allow others to deceive himself, in fact, the most important thing is that he is emotionally attracted to Li Hao, don't get me wrong, Li Shimin's orientation is very normal, the emotion here is the love of talent, he is ready to cultivate Li Hao as the pillar of the country, he will use it up to his son, and his son will use it up to his grandson, anyway, he wants Li Hao to be the pillar of their old Li family, but Li Hao deceived him and made him very hurt, Heart-piercing.

In addition to Li Hao, Li Shimin only remembers that there is a person who deceived his feelings like this, it was a few decades ago, Li Yuan said that he would pass the throne to him in the future, Li Shimin was very happy, and he worked hard to fight outside the east and west, and laid down the great Tang Dynasty, but Li Yuan set up Li Jiancheng as the crown prince, and the result was that Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng, killed Li Yuanji, and forced Li Yuan to abdicate, and snatched the emperor's throne himself.

Li Shimin is like this, he hates others to deceive him the most, the more he trusts people, the more he can't deceive him, because it will hurt his feelings, even his own father is no exception, not to mention Li Hao, so no matter what the reason, Li Shimin will not forgive Li Hao this time.

No longer worried about the flood, Li Shimin ordered a large-scale attack, vowing to completely destroy Goguryeo, he knew that this should be his last personal expedition, because he felt that he was old and his body was not good, which is why he insisted on driving the personal expedition this time, he must fight another beautiful victory before he died, and draw a successful end to his life.

Unfortunately, it backfired, although the Tang army won all the way, captured many cities in Goguryeo, destroyed countless enemies, captured countless prisoners, and finally all Goguryeo soldiers and horses trapped in Anshi City and defended it.

If it's just like this, this is a very death-seeking behavior, however, the weather is not beautiful, winter is coming, the winter of Liaodong, it is not a joke, even if it is the northeast of the future world, it is also very cold, and Liaodong in ancient times was even more terrifyingly cold, almost the coldest place in the country at that time.

Li Shimin didn't expect that this battle would last so long, there was not much grain and grass left in the army, and what was even more terrible was that the whole army did not bring cotton clothes, Li Shimin had no choice but to withdraw in the end, and if he did not retreat, it was estimated that more than 100,000 troops would freeze to death here.

Li Shimin's heart was very depressed, saying that it was a war to destroy the country, but he failed to destroy the country, but his depression could not be expressed, he still had to publicize the merits of this battle, and he could not be criticized, he hated others gossiping and annoying.

Liaodong has been snowing heavily, and Qiongnan and the people of Liuqiu are harvesting rice under the hot sun, Li Hao invented the thermometer, the coldest time in winter in Qiongnan is about ten degrees, and Liuqiu may be a little lower, anyway, no matter how cold it is, the temperature during the day cannot fall below ten degrees, just like this, is there anything unusual about cutting rice in winter.

Li Hao also built a steel mill and a seaport in Qiongnan, the steel mill was built in the deep mountains, and the railroad tracks passed through the canyon to connect the steel mill and the seaport, and the newly built seaport was named Wolong Port, because this seaport was on the seaside twenty miles east of Wolong Villa, near the sea and mountains, this was his private seaport, and foreign ships were not allowed to dock.

Next to the harbor, Li Hao built another shipyard, named Qiongnan Shipyard, the scale of this shipyard is relatively large, the first batch of eight sea ships directly built, plus the recent Liuqiu shipyard built ships, Li Hao now has thirty-eight Galen ships.

The time is ripe, Li Hao feels that it is time to start the first large-scale fleet trial, Li Hao began to plan the navigation route, recently the carrier pigeon in Qiongnan palace frequently flew in and out, conveying Li Hao's instructions, thirty-five Galen ships from Liuqiu, first to Quanzhou to purchase goods, and then through Qiongnan, docked at Wolong Port, everyone landed, came to the palace to meet Li Hao.

After meeting with Li Hao, Lu Yun said that he wanted to introduce a person to Li Hao, and he respected this person very much, Li Hao was the first time to see Lu Yun praise a person like this, and he was curious and decided to see it, in the living room of Qiong'an Palace, a young man in his twenties walked in, it was the one named Wu Lei.

This Wu Lei was originally the son of a merchant in Liuzhou, and he liked to read since he was a child, but his father was a business fan and always wanted him to do business, so he took him with him when he went there to do business, but unfortunately his father was not a businessman, and he did not make much money after a lifetime of business.

After Wu Lei arrived in Liuqiu, he knew that the owner of Liuqiu Island was his idol King Qiongnan, and Lu Yun was the great commander that people often say, so he went to see Lu Yun and asked him to help introduce him and meet Li Hao, because he admired Li Hao very much.

However, Lu Yun didn't agree, such a small person wanted to see Li Hao? Li Hao is the king of Qiongnan, can anyone see him, so Lu Yun gave him a problem, gave him a penny, and asked him to use this penny to earn enough money in three days.

He thought that this could stump Wu Lei, but he underestimated Wu Lei too much, three days later, Wu Lei came to Lu Yun with the usual money, and asked him to take himself to see King Qiongnan, Lu Yun didn't believe that the money was earned by him, so he asked him the details of making money, Wu Lei explained in detail how he made money, Lu Yun couldn't help but marvel after listening to it, and took the test again Wu Lei, I didn't expect this Wu Lei to be very knowledgeable, all the questions to Lu Yun were answered fluently, Lu Yun was more and more shocked, he felt that this Wu Lei was definitely a talent, As for what kind of talent it is, he doesn't know, he only knows that Wu Lei's knowledge is too rich, since he wants to see Li Hao, he will fulfill him, and by the way, let Li Hao's insight identify whether this Wu Lei is a talent or not.
