Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 489 Return to Chang'an

In winter, Liu Mu is playing in Lufeng Mountain with Tang Emperor Li Yuan.One of Feng An's bodyguards came here.

Handed a letter written by Feng An to Liu Mu.

After looking through it, Liu Mu wrote a reply letter for the guard to take back.

After the guard left, Liu Mu said to Li Yuan: "Father, Duke Yue surrounded Aizhou and asked me if I was interested in going back. I wrote back and told him, thank him for his kindness, and I will not go back."

"Aizhou...what's the matter?" Li Yuanxin said, the small rebellion is over, and there is no time to worry about it. Now that the city has been besieged, it means that it is sure to win, not to mention that those rebellious officials and thieves in Aizhou don't have any foreign aid. It is only a matter of time before the city is besieged and destroyed.

Liu Mu explained: "Father, when I first came to Lingnan, what is the name of the one occupying Aizhou now..." Liu Mu patted his head and thought for a long time, but couldn't remember the name Wen Jing, so he had to say: " It’s that guy, he speaks crazily, and he targeted me several times, I endured it.”

"Then Feng An besieged the city and asked you to vent your anger?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.

"That's what it means, but it's just a little ant. It's enough for Duke Yue to gently crush him to death on my behalf."

Li Yuan laughed out loud.

As for Aizhou, Wen Jing didn't even have a chance to commit suicide, he was hacked to death by his subordinates, and then his head was dedicated to Feng An.Feng An completely pacified Jiaozhi, and began to implement the rules of the West Port Company in Jiaozhi.

In the late spring of the following year, Liu Mu left Guangzhou and went north to return home.

Sitting on the boat, Liu Mu knew very well that it was ten years of Wude.

There is no ten years of Wude in history. This year should be called the first year of Zhenguan, but in fact, it is now the ten years of Wude.

History has changed, completely changed.

Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty was sitting on the bow of the boat, looking at the scenery along the coast. He had been away from Chang'an for ten months since the Chang'an Rebellion. As an emperor, he was not in the court. I am afraid that only Emperor Sui Yang did this in all dynasties.

However, Li Yuan believes that Li Shimin will handle the government affairs well in Chang'an.

A few days after leaving Guangzhou, after crossing the Yizhou Strait, Liu Mu's fleet encountered an old-fashioned ship that was heavily armed.

Written on the huge sail, Sea Patrol Officer.

"Sea patrol officer?" Li Yuan was very curious when he saw the words, and ordered: "Come up and ask for clarification."

The dragon flag was hoisted, the ship lowered its sails immediately after approaching, and the captain came to the bow to salute.

Li Yuan asked: "What kind of office is this sea patrol officer?"

"Returning to the saint, at the beginning of the year, there was an official document in Chang'an, Fengzhou was revoked, and the three counties of Nan'an, Putian, and Longxi were merged into Quanzhou. A port was built in Quanzhou to provide supplies and repairs for ships from Guangzhou to Hangzhou. Transfer to the sea Ten boats are patrolling the surroundings, strictly preventing any pirates from appearing."

After listening to the captain's answer, Liu Mu stepped forward and asked, "Then Quanzhou didn't make any preparations, but only provided guarantees for the ships coming and going. Is there any chamber of commerce involved?"

"Respond to your words." The captain didn't know who Liu Mu was, but he dared to speak next to the Emperor Tang, he was definitely not a small person.After the respectful salute: "The last general is only an eighth-rank military officer, responsible for leading people to protect the safety of the waterway. I will never know what you asked."

"Well, your boat is so broken, your bed crossbow and arrows are pitiful, and your face is yellow and hungry. Let me help you." After Liu Mu finished speaking, he saluted Li Yuan and left, but Li Yuan stood there with a smile on his face. over there.

After a while, Liu Mu went back to the house and wrote a letter, and then ordered someone to throw it over.

"Leave it to the governor of Quanzhou, and tell him by the way that if he arranges you to pretend to be pitiful here, then I will definitely trouble him. Of course, if you are really so pitiful, then if there are no new ships, new armors, and new ships by this time next year equipment, I will still trouble him.”

The captain's face was full of astonishment, he didn't understand who the annual ring man in front of him was, but his words sounded crazy.

"Don't be suspicious, remind him that Chang'an will see a proposal from him before the end of the year."

After Liu Mu finished speaking, he ordered to continue sailing.

The Quanzhou captain was tossed about in the wind.

Li Yuan on the boat asked Liu Mu, "What did you write?"

"Father, there is nothing special, I just suggest that they also start some business. Father doesn't know, the tea in the world, the five hundred miles of their square garden here, can definitely occupy the fourth place of our Great Tang Dynasty. One of the first-class tea producing areas. Those small countries in the Western Regions need tea."

"My father remembers that three of the top ten famous teas come from several prefectures in the west of Quanzhou."

"Father, do you want to turn around? They probably have a lot of good tea at this time." Liu Mu suggested.

Li Yuan waved his hand: "No, go straight to Hangzhou. This year's Longjing is estimated to be on the market, and we want to drink new tea. Speaking of business, what else did you say?"

"Dried bamboo shoots and several kinds of dried fruits. The most important thing is sugar. This will be one of the best sugar cane planting places in Datang. Right now, the sugar industry will be developed first. After we occupy some places in the south, there will be a lot of them. Planting sugar cane can also be brought back here to extract sugar. The sugar extraction process is very complicated, and they need some time to develop."

Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction: "Very well, you are talented. You can find a good business in any place. The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is not far away."

A few days later, we arrived in Hangzhou.

Li Yuan tasted the new tea and listened to Li Shentong tell him about some major decisions made by Chang'an to the whole Tang Dynasty in the past ten months.

"Brother Emperor. Emperor Sui Yang was also digging canals in the past, and I don't know how many people died. His Royal Highness, last winter, the entire Tang Dynasty government dug a total of [-] miles of canals and renovated [-] miles of canals. The embankment of the Yellow River was built for nearly [-] miles. This can be regarded as a canal dug, and I alone dug a canal seven feet wide and one foot deep for eight thousand miles.”

Li Shentong is 11 years younger than Li Yuan, so he is naturally called Huangxiong.

Li Yuan frowned: "Is this a bit too much digging? What do the people in the east of the south of the Yangtze River think?"

"The people praise it, the prince is good."

"How is it?"

"I have added 14 hectares of fertile land and [-] hectares of mulberry forests in Jiangnan Dongdao. According to reports from Jiangnan Dongdao, there were only a few hundred casualties in service, and none of them were injured. It is because there is a lot of money, and it is more expensive to work for money. It's a hundred times stronger than driving." Li was proclaiming his achievements for Li Shimin with supernatural powers.

Li Yuan was puzzled: "Some state capitals here are rich, but some state capitals are poor. How about it?"

"Borrowing money, five cents a year. Changping Bank's eight major branches, some of which are borrowed money. Don't be afraid of not being able to repay the money. Some small county magistrates still hope that they can not repay the money." At this point Li Shentong pointed at Liu Mu : "The God of Wealth is sitting there. No one in the Tang Dynasty knows that the son-in-law Liu passes by a mountain, and a money tree can grow on the top of the mountain."

　A new chapter is about to begin, and the emperor who is absolutely ranked among the top three in the history of Heifer Handstand is about to take the throne.

　　Since the giant ship of Datang has set sail.
