"This Gaoling was created by King Yue. Three years ago, it was just a wasteland!" Feng Zhidi sighed.
"King of Yue?" Hearing this name, Feng Ang sighed, "I have achieved such a success in three years and deserve to be the son of a saint!"
When Feng Ang heard Feng Ang’s praise, Feng Zhidai did not refute.
After all, almost everyone who has grown up knows Li Tai's ability, but the most important thing is that he is Li Shimin's son.
If it was someone else, no matter how capable Li Tai was, no one could give Li Tai the opportunity to display his abilities.
"Aye, let's go back to the mansion first, rest for a while, and you will accept the summons of the saint when you choose a date!" Feng Zhidai said.
"Okay!" Feng Ann nodded to Feng Zhidai and said, "You are familiar with this place, and you will arrange it!"
Feng Zhidai nodded and immediately delivered the horses that had been arranged long ago, so that Feng Ang would ride on the horse.
Although Feng Ang was an old man, he was also a general. At this moment, he jumped onto the horse and got on the horse. The group headed towards Chang'an City.
This scene was seen by Li Tai, who was taking to the streets to understand the people's conditions.
Li Tai told Du Chuke, "These people look like soldiers and look like Han people, but their clothes are different from ours, and some people actually apply paint on their faces!"
Du Chuke heard Li Tai's words and looked at him, "The young man seemed to be Feng Zhidao, the young master of the guards. The old man was a bit similar to him. Seeing Feng Zhidao so respectful, I think he was Feng, the Shangzhu Kingdom guarding Lingnan.
Oun!"
"Feng Ang, the country of Shangzhu, it turns out it was him!" Li Tai thoughtfully saw Feng Ang passing by with his elite soldiers.
"Your King of Yue, have something to do with Zhuguo?" Du Chu asked in confusion as he looked at Li Tai's posture at this moment.
"That's right, I want to do business with him. I hope he can produce more sugar cane and produce more sugar!" Li Tai said.
"Sugar is precious. Even if you want to produce more, it is not easy!" Du Chuke said with a wry smile.
In ancient times, there was no dispute between the sweet party and the salt party. The most important reason was that sweet things were very precious in ancient times.
Except for high-ranking officials and nobles, basically no ordinary people have the opportunity to enjoy it.
Maybe it’s because the world is too bitter, so after it was invented, it has always been praised by people.
And in itself, it is the only addictive but not very harmful substance.
The most important thing is that this thing also provides energy, as long as you are not afraid of tooth decay, diabetes, or something, you can even eat it as a meal.
For Li Tai, he naturally wanted to take sugar into his hands, because the first generation representative product of the Silk Road was silk, so the second generation representative product of the Silk Road was sugar. Therefore, the value and potential of sugar are extraordinary.
I have eaten the sugar that Feng Ang had tributed before, but I really didn't have the chance to have any contact with the other party.
But now that Feng Ang has come to Chang'an, Li Tai is still looking forward to it if he can reach an agreement with him.
"It doesn't matter. We will buy it directly. I believe they will sell it!" Li Tai said, "It's just that I went directly to see you. Is there any way to get online with them?"
"Feng Shaoqing also occasionally participates in polo competitions. If he made an appointment, it would not be difficult!" Du Chuke said.
After half a year, although the polo competition has not yet set off a craze among the people, many military generals have basically fallen in love with this very passionate sport.
However, they are not just for watching polo games. More importantly, they have to look at the effects of various battle team talents on the polo field, as well as their tacit cooperation and organizational level.
Of course, the style of the polo competition, which had some basic rules, has gradually gone astray. Various battle team talents are displayed in the hands of polo players, allowing the polo competition to slowly run towards the direction of unlimited long-handled weapons fighting.
It's quite passionate to fight.
Therefore, it has become common for generals who work in Chang'an to watch polo in their spare time.
"Then you arrange it and give me an invitation!" Li Tai said to Du Chuke.
"This is a trivial matter, Chu Ke will naturally make arrangements!" Du Chu Ke said to Li Tai,
"But King Yue, didn't you decide to develop towards Youzhou? Why do you have to be involved with Feng Ang again?
Although Feng Ang chose to come to Chang'an this time, the court would still choose to let him go back to Lingnan to be the King of Lingnan after a while."
Du Chuke saw this thoroughly, of course, because in this era, Guangzhou was deserted and filled with poisonous miasma. It would be quite difficult for people to survive, let alone live there.
"It is the barren land that has the value of development!" Li Tai nodded,
"I not only hope to reach a deal with him, but more importantly, I plan to arrange a group of agricultural officials and doctors to collect local crop information, study various diseases in the south, calculate the technical accumulation, and prepare for the future development of the south to develop the south in the future
Bar!"
"Dynamic South, do you think so far?!" Du Chuke's mouth twitched,
"Even if you want to develop the area south of Hangzhou, it is probably very difficult.
There is inconvenient transportation and a sensation. There may not even be many people who dare to go there!"
"This is natural!" Li Tai agreed with Du Chuke's judgment. After all, Lingnan was synonymous with exile in this era.
Li Tai said, "But in the end, some people want to become pioneers. It is unrealistic to rely solely on the people to develop spontaneously.
Therefore, the upper class needs to make a certain degree of detailed planning to guide the people to develop southward, so that the entire Tang Dynasty will become rich!"
"I'm afraid this is very difficult!" Du Chuke couldn't help but sigh when he heard Li Tai's words.
"So, we have to take the lead there to lay the foundation," Li Tai said, "and even establish branch communication technology."
"I'm afraid this is really not easy!" Du Chuke sighed when he heard Li Tai's words, "I'm afraid there are not many students willing to go."
Li Tai saw Du Chuke like that, do you need to tell the truth and tease my heart?
Li Tai decisively changed the topic: "You can help me get the person up first, and I'll go find Lu Cai to ask!"
"No!" Du Chuke answered to Li Tai.
When Li Tai saw Du Chuke agreeing, he did not take Du Chuke to understand the people's situation. Instead, he got on the ox cart called by Lu Anshou and went straight to the Agricultural Academy. After all, this matter is quite important.
Seeing Li Tai running away first when he forced himself to do something about the White Dragon Fish Suit, Du Chuke smiled helplessly, and continued to understand the people's conditions on his own.
After all, I can’t finish working in the county government. Only by going out for a walk can I know what the people really need. This is the words Li Tai fooled Du Chuke.
Li Tai came to the Agricultural University to find Lu Cai and asked straight to the point, "How many students from the Agricultural University have graduated this year?"
"The first batch of about a thousand people, but at least five hundred of them have been transported by the Cao, the Sinong Temple, the Taipu Temple and other forces are leaving.
They also found that these young people are more useful than those of the Jinshi Mingjing or other young people!"
Lu Cai replied with relief, "The rest of the people, except for the only sons in the family who need to go home to inherit the family business, are mostly placed in the Zhengbaiqu area.
I have to say that the talents of our agricultural institution are still quite popular with all parties.”
Seeing that he had worked for so long and finally saw that his school was shipped, Lu Cai was still quite proud.
After all, the priest of this institution is a guy running outside every few days, so he didn't care much about it. In the end, he was the only one who handled the affairs of all the institution!
"Then how many students we have not yet found jobs!" Li Tai asked Lu Cai.
"There are really not many left!" Lu Cai shook his head and said, "There may not be a hundred. If King Yue, you lack personnel, you will probably have to wait until you graduate next year."
"Are the manpower so nervous?" Li Tai frowned when he heard this and said, "I want to arrange a group of people to go to Lingnan Road, or even to Leizhou Yazhou and other places. I wonder if it can be done.
”
"Lingnan?!" When Lu Cai heard this, his face changed and said, "I'm afraid it's not easy!"
"I know!" Li Tai nodded and said, "and not only agricultural science, but also Mesoology, medicine and other disciplines need to arrange a group of people to go there, about twenty or thirty people, and build a primary school in Lingnan directly. They need to go there.
Do long-term research!”
"Can I know what to do?" Lu Cai couldn't help but say when he heard Li Tai's words.
"In order to eat candy, to make everyone in the world eat candy!" Li Tai said to Lu Cai, "Sugarcane can only be planted in the south, but cannot be planted in the north, so we need to send people to the south to go there.
Research."
"This..." Lu Cai couldn't help but hesitate when he heard Li Tai's words.
Li Tai continued, "I don't lie to you, nor do I want to deceive those students, because I don't have enough awareness, it is indeed difficult to persevere in places like Leizhou and Yazhou, which are thousands of miles away from my Chang'an.
Not to mention, they may need to persist for twenty, thirty, or even for a lifetime for a plant, a piece of sugar!”
"King of Yue..." When Lu Cai heard Li Tai's words, he wanted to persuade Li Tai.
"But I must implement this matter!" Li Tai said to Lu Cai,
"There is no way, because sugar cane cane cane cane only be produced in those places.
The most important thing is that, from a global perspective, only those places can form close economic ties with the Tang Dynasty.
Only then will those places be accepted by the court and be closely connected with the Central Plains!"
When Lu Cai heard Li Tai's words, he was slightly stunned because this was something Lu Cai had never thought of.
And this is where Li Taiqiang is. Li Tai's pattern always makes people feel incredible, but the plan is down-to-earth.
Li Tai said, "I know that the places in Leizhou and Yazhou are more sinister than I think in books, and their lives in the past are more difficult than I thought.
Even so, someone must go over and be the first to lay the foundation!
Because their meaning is not just about communicating locally, or even spreading knowledge.
Instead, they need to develop a fist product that allows these seemingly enclaves to establish connections with the Central Plains to form a hub.
Maybe it is unfair to say that, but the Tang Dynasty really needs them to use themselves as a link to connect Lingnan and the Central Plains!”
"I understand!" When Lu Cai heard Li Tai's words, he couldn't help but feel respectful.
To be honest, the Chinese are the nation that is least afraid of sacrifice, and even the Chinese are willing to use death as bargaining chips just to seek a worthwhile.
This is something that people in many countries in the world cannot understand.
And now, the reason given by Li Tai is enough to convince Lu Cai.
Even if it is sacrificed for several generations, it doesn’t matter. As long as the connection between Lingnan and the Central Plains is strengthened, this is the most worthwhile thing in itself.
"I'm just afraid that the students who have suffered for generations!" Lu Cai sighed.
"It's okay!" Li Tai said calmly, "It will be very hard at the beginning, but as long as the Goguryeo problem is solved, these people will be liberated soon. At least they don't need to die in Lingnan and never go back to Chang'an again. .”
"Goguryeo?" When Lu Cai heard Li Tai's words, he felt a little unresponsive. These two places are just the two poles of the country!
"Yeah!" Li Tai nodded:
"Solving Goguryeo's problem can make ships use military to civilians, and then the entire coastline can be used for ships.
At that time, it will be much easier to go from Leizhou Yazhou to Chang'an, but it will be much easier to go to Hangzhou first by water, and then enter the inland through the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal!"
"Can you still leave like this?" Lu Cai was a little surprised when he heard Li Tai's words. He really didn't expect it.
"It must be like this. I'll transport sugar by land. Can this sugar be given to ordinary people? I'm afraid that it's a bit extravagant for the royal family to eat!" Li Tai said for granted.
However, when Lu Cai heard Li Tai's words, he didn't say anything, and just looked at Li Tai in such a silent manner.
Because this sentence seemed to be really unconvincing when he said it from his mouth.
You should know that Li Tai likes to add honey or sugar when drinking tea, which is already well known.
Li Tai just smiled, but didn't say much.
To be honest, Li Tai, the prefectures and counties that Li Tai mentioned to Du Ruhui, also thought of the fist products after going to their respective prefectures and counties.
For example, if I was arranged in Hangzhou, I was originally planning to vigorously develop sugar, and then use sugar to promote the rise of the sweet party and return to Chang'an.
If you arrive in Yizhou, you will vigorously develop tea and use it to pave a way back to Chang'an.
Now that I have chosen Youzhou, I can operate more things, not to mention that I have to get the right to salt.
In short, as long as you are rich enough to rival a country and can even affect the country's economy to a certain extent, the court will definitely dispatch itself back to Chang'an. This is the instinctive reaction of a large unified government.
However, because I was neither the state formulated policies nor went to Jiangnan, I could not control the Lingnan area.
But it is still possible to lay some foreshadowing in the Lingnan area in advance, accumulate some technology, and strengthen some commercial communication.
