Chapter 579 Big Business

"Why do you want to kill Zhang Shiqi, this man is very useful." Li Daoyan asked while drinking tea when he learned that Zhang Shiqi and Zhang Shisan brothers all died in the rebellion.That looks like asking why you killed a stray dog.

"The two brothers have been in Dongting Lake for too long. Although Zhang 17 is still smart. But he can't play in Chang'an. Once he gets angry or something else. It is certain to return to Dongting Lake. They have connections and family background, plus they are from their hometown. They can pull up a team within ten months. I don't want to come to Jiangnan again.

It's better in winter now, if it's summer, the mosquitoes can eat you up.This Dongting Lake is not Guanzhong, and it is not something that can be achieved overnight if you want to completely pacify it. "Yun Hao sighed looking at the misty Dongting Lake. The brothers of the Zhang family were all dead, and the people under his command also suffered heavy casualties due to the fire.

Those who were not dead or injured were all packed away by Yunhao.These are all little guys, without the prestige of the Zhang family brothers, they can't make big waves.Now the inside of Dongting Lake is very good. Although it is not clean, it is still quiet.

"You kid always has an excuse, and killing a donkey makes you sound good. But why did you call that kid here?" Li Daoyan raised his chin, 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 also receives a lot of silt. The [-]-mile Dongting Lake is a good fertile land. Because of the climate, The rice here can be produced twice a year. If the two lakes are really utilized and developed, this place will definitely be a land of fish and rice. At that time, the two lakes will be ripe for the world." Yun Hao looked at Yunmengze in front of him, which is a famous land of fish and rice in later generations.But now, it is more of a wilderness.

As early as the former Sui Dynasty, the Yang family's court had already begun to pay attention to the development of the two lakes.Helpless, 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 unwilling to immigrate to the two lakes. The very different climatic conditions have caused serious acclimatization to the northerners.The former Sui Dynasty even positioned the two lakes as a place to exile prisoners!

At the end of the former Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the imperial court was even less able to develop the two lakes.The Li Tang Dynasty established at the beginning of Guozuo, it would be good to be able to stabilize the two lakes, let alone have the power to develop the two lakes.

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

"You said this place will be a 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.

"Believe it! Why don't you believe it! I believe everything you say! I'm just curious, the land of fish and rice. Where are the fishers, and where are the rice farmers?" Li Daoyan looked at Yunhao jokingly.

Yunhao sighed helplessly, after going through the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty.The population of Datang fell to a terrible trough. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, the population of Datang was only 200 million.Even the imperial capitals and magic capitals of later generations can't compare, and even only have the population of some second-tier cities.

Such a population is spread over a huge empire.The Guanzhong area is naturally a densely populated area, but it can go to the south.People sprinkle some on the ground like pepper noodles. No rooster crows for a thousand miles is not just a poem.

Li Daoyan is right, if you want to develop, you cannot do without people.Where is Keren?Although the population is constantly growing, it will take more than ten years at the earliest for a child to grow up.It is definitely a stupid idea to develop the two lakes now.If the country has a population, it must first fill up the Northwest and Hebei.In this way, the invasion of foreign races can be effectively curbed.

"You're right, we don't have anyone now. Don't forget that the population has been increasing gradually since the world was established in the seventh year of Wude. Sooner or later, the land in the north will be overwhelmed. At that time, the development of the two lakes will have to be done. A person who knows both lakes well.”

"You fell in love with that boy, he can be the crown prince's man. Now he is very popular in the East Palace and has a bright future in the future. If Lao Du knows that you tricked his son into not walking in the Crown Prince's East Palace. Hehe! This feud will become big, be careful old Du I'll hit you to Lintong." Li Daoyan said with a playful smile.

"It may be that Fang Mou Du Juan, you think it's all fake. Neither the Fang family nor the Du family are members of the five surnames and seven sects. Although they are in high positions, they will still be suppressed by the family members. Come on. In the final analysis, there is still a lack of background. 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 choked, thought for a while and then understood. "You mean that Lao Du has already started to make arrangements for his descendants?"

"That's right! The place in Chang'an is turbulent, and God knows who will be unlucky. Give your descendants a step back. Even if you fail in Chang'an, you can still have a place to settle down. It is reported that Du He is about to become a Don't drive Zhang Baoxiang. I heard that the imperial decree is on the way." Yun Hao said slightly mysteriously.

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

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

"Changsun Wuji is Zhao Guogong, and his son, Changsun Yu, is going to Hebei. Cheng Yaojin's son Cheng Chumo is going to Shandong, and Yu Chigong's son is going to Jiangnan...! Although they hold different official positions, they are the same. They have all become civil servants. Don’t ask me how I know, these people are all studying in Lishan Academy now. They are waiting to graduate next year and go to work!”

Li Daoyan's eyes flickered, like two will-o'-the-wisps under the light of the candle.Yun Hao hurriedly left this lost guy and explained to Du He that it was a matter of business.

"See Duke Chu! Duke Chu was able to pacify the Dongting Lake rebellion within ten months, and captured hundreds of Japanese pirates. I am the No.1 general of the Tang Dynasty, and I really deserve my reputation." Du He is tall, thin, and fair-skinned. After seeing Yun Hao, he hurried forward to salute.Although they are about the same age, Ke Yunhao's status is much higher than Du He's.

"Mr. Du! Don't be too polite. I have known Du Xiang for many years. The Du family can produce a young talent like you, which shows that Du Xiang is good at teaching children." Yun Hao didn't mind being perfunctory when he gave face.In the future, the interests of the Yun family will still depend on this kid's help, and the relationship must always get along well.

Seeing the politeness of the two people, Li Chengqian also smiled and said: "I thought I would have to stay here in the south of the Yangtze River for a while, but now it seems that there is no need. A letter from the capital said that the father has already made a decree to declare that Duke Chu will return to the capital triumphantly."

Li Chengqian was very satisfied with this trip to the south of the Yangtze River. He got military achievements, money, and everything except women.In terms of women, the eldest grandson is not usually strict.He specially sent a letter to Yun Hao, and also gave Li Daoyan a lot of advice.Zhang Baoxiang, who had already prepared beauties for Li Chengqian, transferred the beauties to the King of Jiaodong very wisely.

"See His Royal Highness, Duke Chu!" Zhang Baoxiang walked upstairs with a smile.He is the host of the celebration banquet held at Yueyang Tower today.It depends on the battle of the water bandits in Dongting Lake, and he will be very comfortable as the governor in the future.

"Master Inspector, the treater is late, and you will be punished with three glasses of wine." Li Daoyan walked over and said after pondering.

Why……!They are not fools to figure 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 own families.

That's fine, these people have the right to wealth, and they have a fucking desire to get rich.With their support, I believe that the two lakes will be able to prosper.At least for the past three years, the two lakes are not required to pay taxes.

When everyone entered the table, they immediately toasted and staggered!Yun Hao looked at the grape wine in the golden cup, and suddenly felt that it was as red as blood.

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

On the streets of Chang'an, there was a rush of Jingjie drums. Li Er stood at the gate of the Taiji Hall and looked at the magnificent capital city under his feet.The sky is as black as ink, and the silver moon is as dark as a plate.Under the joy of victory, the cold moonlight seemed to become mellow.

The eldest grandson quietly appeared behind Li Er, and a mink fur cloak was draped over Li Er's body.As soon as his hands left the cloak, Li Er hugged his waist.The eldest grandson glanced at Li Er angrily!The palace servants behind him all lowered their heads.Even breathing has become more cautious. If something happens at this time, people will die.

"Cheng Gan did a good job in the south of the Yangtze River. He captured the bandit leader of the Japanese people alive. He also captured more than 300 people alive. There is a capable prince who can keep my Li family safe for three generations." Li Er was very happy with his son's achievements.

Some people used to say that the prince is cowardly and pedantic, but no one says that now.The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are all boasting of His Royal Highness the prince's illustrious martial arts. It is indeed worth boasting that a 12-year-old leader can achieve such a big victory.

"Cheng Gan has been in the palace for too long, so it's good to experience it. The crown prince of a country should also know the things on the battlefield. It depends on the battle between the two lakes. The concubine congratulates His Majesty and the Great Tang. .” The eldest grandson never lacked words of praise.

Even if they kiss like one person, she still likes to say that.What man doesn't like being adored by the woman he loves?Perhaps this is the reason why Li Er spends most of his time in Changsun Palace every month.

"But this time I went out, I also learned from that cunning Yun Hao. The memorial to me actually said that the barren gangsters in the south of the Yangtze River lived on grass and trees, and they captured very little." Thinking about his son making a fortune in the south of the Yangtze River, He didn't give up the loot to Lao Tzu.Li Er began to feel unhappy in his heart!

The grassland battle emptied the treasury of Datang, if Yunhao hadn't brutally robbed Korea.Datang's financial crisis will continue, although it is better now.But the money is always not enough, the name of Iron Rooster is firmly placed on Changsun Wuji's head.Sometimes, even Li Er's approval note doesn't work.

Lack of money!The grassland battle was actually a money-losing product. No wonder Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty squandered the foundation left by Wenjing's rule after conquering the grassland for decades.The lives of the people are miserable.

Apart from cattle and sheep, there seems to be no output in that place.Hou Junji was still leading the army to clean up the grassland, and if there were any disobedient ministers, he would kill them immediately.Steel knives and blood have become the two eternal themes on the grassland, and there is a sound of surrender on the grassland under high pressure.Tian Khan's name is already as famous as Tengger.

"Yunhao is a money trap, and he doesn't know what he wants so much money for? Mrs. Yunzhang came into the palace yesterday and said that he wanted me to prepare some money. He said that there was a big deal to be done, and only I and the palace could buy shares. Prince, Your Majesty, tell me...!" the eldest grandson said with some hesitation.

"Oh, how much are you preparing?" Li Er asked with interest.

Every time Yunhao does business, he takes Li Er with him.Now the Yun family's business is almost Li Er's business.Every year, the Yun family's dividends are a big benefit for the Inner Palace.Li Er is very interested in Yunhao's big business.

"It is said that it needs at least 60 guan, and the Yun family will give 30 guan. The prince will give [-] guan!" The eldest grandson said with some difficulty.

"One million business?" Li Er gasped and looked at his eldest grandson in surprise. 100 million guan, this is a lot of money.Datang's annual income is only 100 million guan.

What does Yunhao want so much money for? A mountain of copper coins is enough to bury Lintong.

"That's true, that's why the concubine came to ask His Majesty! Mrs. Yunzhang said, what kind of bank do you want to set up. He also said that it will connect the world. The concubine didn't quite understand it, so I came to ask His Majesty's opinion."

Li Er patted his wife on the shoulder, he knew that the eldest grandson was talking nonsense.If she didn't understand, she wouldn't come to tell herself.What kind of words that connect the world are used to attract himself, all fools know that Li Er likes to hear the words and sentences of the world the most.In fact, everything related to the sky can successfully arouse Li Er's interest.

"Huitong Tianxia! Huitong Tianxia! Well, I still have a heart of loyalty and respect. I know to leave the big head to me! The queen can do it, and the money of the inner palace can be used by you. Doing business with the Yun family will definitely not lose money."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust! My concubine asked my elder brother, and he also said that this is a good thing that benefits 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 Changsun Wuji also knew about it.

"It's time to do something to benefit the country and the people and improve the people's livelihood. In my world, the people always rebel, how can this happen!"
