Just as Li Tai was thinking about how to unite all kinds of families in Youzhou and let them take out manpower and material resources, Li Tai's letters passed through the post station, one after another, and then arrived at Chang'an as fast as possible.
Delivered to Liangyi Hall.
To be honest, although the road from Youzhou to Xingyang is far away, there are waterways connected. Li Tai just hangs ordinary letters, and it is faster and faster to walk the waterway.
Of course, if you hang a letter such as 800 miles to speed up, you might have to take the land faster. However, no matter what, this is a letter from Li Tai to Li Shimin. Even if you hang an ordinary letter, it will definitely not be delayed.
It was supposed to be nearly twenty days away, but after twelve days, the letter was sent to Liangyi Hall.
Li Shimin looked at the letters delivered to him, not only his own, but also his big stack!
Li Shimin looked at the letter delivered to him and murmured, "I'm not polite, Qingque, you really treat me as a post station? You have to let me be a messenger for him again!"
But as that's it, Li Shimin asked the eunuch to classify these letters and did not distribute them as soon as possible.
The eunuch on the side dared not speak, as if he wanted to laugh and hold it back, and his appearance made people laugh.
Li Shimin looked at the letter Li Tai wrote to him. In addition to reporting safety, the content of the letter proposed his own direction of governing Youzhou, hoping to break the deadlock from salt, prepare to gain stable profit channels in Youzhou, and then rule Youzhou.
As for trading with Goguryeo, we will wait until we develop our own salt farm before trading.
Li Shimin felt envious and admired his own son's ability when Li Tai waited for his stable wealth and had such wealth before taking power.
Even this time, Li Tai only had the right to make salt and sell salt from the court. The rest was just Li Tai who spent money to work by himself. Li Tai never worried that if he spent the money in, he would become a waste of water.
manage.
It seemed as if Li Tai's eyes could see through the illusion and accurately find the gold behind the fog.
Of course, Li Tai did not write a specific method, but was just writing about his goals for this month and starting to buy land.
As for another point in the letter, Li Tai asked Li Shimin to help transfer his letter.
Among them are for Empress Changsun, for Changle, for Peacock Lu Cai Du Chuke, and for Wei Xu, but unfortunately there is no Ma Zhou.
This is natural. After all, Ma Zhou is different from them. Ma Zhou is already an independent official.
If Li Tai wrote a private relationship with Ma Zhou, it would be at least evidence of the prince collusion with court officials. However, if it were not for Li Tai's reasons, the county magistrate's identity would not be worthy of Du Chuke at all.
So strictly speaking, they are more like representatives of the King of Yan, and their positioning is completely different.
Li Tai briefly mentioned that Peacock's letter asked Peacock to send some of the coal industry personnel and the Weaver Girl to Youzhou, and he needed to deploy the industry in Youzhou.
The letter from Lu Cai hoped that Lu Cai would prepare the exchange students sent to Youzhou this year, and the exchange students from the previous year would have to study for another year before they could return to Youzhou.
As for Du Chuke, Li Tai asked Du Chuke to dispatch a group of bad people with Wei Xu as the core.
At the same time, when Wei Xu came, he would go to find some disabled veterans to see if they were happy to come to Youzhou.
It’s still bad treatment, and I will settle them down.
Because the bad person is not a formal official position, although he assisted the government in Gaoling to manage the people, he was more of a minor official, and even ate the food he could not be said to be imperial grain, but to eat the food given by Li Tai.
Only Wei Xu was named in the Yan Prince's Mansion, but Li Tai considered that he needed him to recruit some bad people to Youzhou, so he asked Wei Xu to stay in Gaoling, and now he was asked to find the same one.
Wei Xu brought the bad guys over there.
"Bad person..." Li Shimin murmured at Wei Xu mentioned by Li Tai.
The eunuch Wang De hurriedly walked aside.
"The bad person is a minor official who patrolled the streets after becoming the magistrate of Gaoling County.
Most of them were composed of soldiers who retired from the army because of their disability, and the commander was Wei Xu.
Since the appearance of bad people, the atmosphere in Gaoling County has improved a lot."
"Yeah!" Li Shimin nodded.
To be honest, Li Shimin still appreciates this kind of behavior of taking care of the wounded soldiers in the army.
Moreover, most of these retired wounded soldiers are disabled, and they are not afraid that Li Tai will rebel if he summons these people.
After all, Li Tai has clearly positioned these bad people from the beginning, and is to use them to intimidate ordinary people.
Especially after Li Tai was assassinated in Gaoling area, Li Tai established some armed organizations to maintain public order. To be honest, the court also understood it.
But they didn't expect that Li Tai was so tactful and looked for disabled people.
For the country, it actually reduces a considerable burden.
After all, since the troubled times of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there are really many people who are disabled due to war.
However, in the old-style army, except for the help of generals and fellow townsmen, few people actually care about their lives and death.
More disabled soldiers were forced to return to their hometowns and then waited for death in their hometowns.
Li Shimin sighed when he thought of this and said, "Qingque is a kind person after all."
Just looking at his actions at this moment, this may not seem easy to develop in Youzhou. Now we need to move to Gaoling’s foundation!
Forget it, the time is too short, let's wait and see first.
If you have a year or two, then you can see if he will dispatch resources from Gaoling, you should be able to tell how his development is!”
To be honest, it was difficult for Li Shimin or ancient people to understand the principle of using money or even using all manpower and material resources.
So not long after Li Shimin saw Li Tai coming to Youzhou, he began to dispatch manpower and material resources to Gaoling. Naturally, he thought that Li Tai was not developing well in Youzhou, and Gaoling needed strong support to Li Tai.
At this moment, Li Shimin had a decision in his mind, let go of Li Tai for a while, and just watch silently on the side.
If Li Tai's salt industry has not yet developed in one or two years, I will find a way to support Li Tai.
After all, what Li Tai has always shown in front of Li Shimin is the kind of character of planning and calm and enterprising.
Under such circumstances, Li Tai chose Salt Industry as his source of wealth in Youzhou, and he also wanted to see what kind of abilities Li Tai could show.
"Send these two documents to the Queen and Princess Changle's residence."
Li Shimin looked at the letter Li Tai gave him and said to the eunuch beside him.
"As for the other few, they will all be delivered to Gaoling County Magistrate Du Chuke!"
"Abide by the order!" Wang De replied immediately without hesitation when he heard Li Shimin's words.
Not long after Wang De retreated, Tang Jian came over quickly and said:
"The saint, the Japanese sent Tang envoys Touka Mita, and the pharmacist Huiri to return home. Will it be better to arrange people to go with them along the way, and it will be better to enthrone Japan. If they can have a good relationship with them, they may be able to restrict Goguryeo through Japan and limit their development!
”
"Yes!" Li Shimin nodded when he heard Tang Jian's words,
"Let Gao Biaoren be the envoy sent to Japan to send the Tang envoy back to his country.
We recognize that Japan is a vassal of our Tang Dynasty, and allow Japan to pay tribute every year to establish good relations between the two sides."
"I obey the order!" Tang Jian respectfully saluted Li Shimin when he heard Li Shimin's words.
At this time, Tang Jian was about to withdraw, but Li Shimin said, "When you asked Gao Biaoren to go to Japan, take the Bohai Navy road.
Also, go and see how the King of Yan lives in Youzhou, and ask him to write a memorial and hand it over to the Honglu Temple!"
"Abide by the order!" Tang Jian didn't expect Li Shimin to say this, and he couldn't help but salute but said again,
"Since the saint mentioned the King of Yan, should he send an envoy to Goguryeo to discuss the matter of business?"
"The King of Yan wrote to him, saying that he had just arrived in Youzhou and still had to be familiar with the affairs of Youzhou, so there was no need to worry about this matter.
When he becomes familiar with Youzhou affairs, he will naturally apply to the court. Just send someone to prepare Goguryeo information first!"
When Tang Jian heard Li Shimin's words, he replied to Li Shimin, "Abide by the order."
Seeing that Tang Jian had nothing to do, Li Shimin waved his hand, and Tang Jian withdrew from Liangyi Hall.
The letter Li Tai naturally arrived in Du Chuke's hands with the help of Li Shimin.
After Du Chuke received the letter, he immediately found Lu Cai, Wei Xu and Peacock to meet each other.
After the four of them met, Du Chuke took out their own letters from his hands and sent them to several people for viewing.
Several people took their own letters, and Du Chuke finally spoke,
"Let me talk first. The King of Yan is preparing to establish a small county in Youzhou like Gaoling.
Therefore, bad people need to suppress the rebels. I hope Wei Xu will lead some bad people north to help him maintain public order."
"If local bad people get married and have children, it is difficult to dispatch them. However, some of the lonely and widowed people can convince them to be the core to dispatch them to Youzhou!" Wei Xu said when he heard Du Chuke's words.
"Release the conditions so that you can take your family to Youzhou!" Du Chuke thought for a while, knocked on the table and said,
"The King of Yan has always thought that there were not enough people. Now, even though the King of Yue brought a lot of brocade to the north and had rich wealth and supplies, if he wanted to build a small town from scratch, the most important thing was manpower, which may not be necessary.
Can be bought with money!
I will convince Liu Shenwei to send a medical staff to Youzhou, and you will also find a way to bring all the families of bad people who are willing to follow the army north!"
"This..." Wei Xu was a little stunned when he heard Du Chuke's words, but he didn't expect Du Chuke to make such a decision.
Looking at Du Chuke's eyes looking at him, Peacock replied immediately:
"The King of Yan asked me for the Weaver Girl and the workers of the coal industry, and I will send all the personnel and family members of the coal industry!"
"Yeah!" Du Chuke was very satisfied with Peacock's attitude, but added, "That alone is not enough.
The King of Yan asked the court for the power of salt and iron. Although the King of Yan is devoted to making salt, he thought that when he freed up his hands, he would pay attention to iron tools.
Peacock, although the King of Swallow has not yet said it, we must prepare first, recruit iron craftsmen to more or less, and even open a workshop for iron craftsmanship by ourselves, so we can raise these blacksmiths first.
When the King of Yue greets him, just send someone over there.”
"I understand, County Magistrate Du!" Peacock looked serious when he heard Du Chuke's words, and promised to complete the task.
Du Chuke looked at Lu Cai and said, "First priest, what help should King Yan ask the Agricultural University to provide?"
"It's mainly about student exchanges. King Yue hopes to send the exchange students from Youzhou Branch to study here next year!" Lu Cai said, "It seems that there are not many studies in Youzhou School, or the quality is not high, so it is difficult to make it
King Yue is satisfied!"
"It seems that King Yue is a bit short of people in Youzhou! Li Chunfeng has been developing for so many years, what has he developed!"
Du Chuke narrowed his eyes as he heard Lu Cai's words, scolded Li Chunfeng for being worried, but said,
"How many people can we squeeze out to send them to Youzhou this year!"
"The gap in our personnel is quite large, especially if we have to arrange some people to go to Lingnan. This is all arranged by the King of Yan!"
Lu Cai hesitated with a little hesitation, "I'm afraid there are no ones if I want to dispatch it to King Yue!"
"No one? How could there be no one? After all, you can squeeze out some of them!"
Du Chuke said decisively, "First of all, the students who were originally scheduled to be dispatched to Jinkou of the Wei River were able to intercept the remaining part.
Let them choose freely whether to follow the King of Yue to fight for their lives, or to go to Jinkou to manage the warehouse.
Secondly, with the end of the Zheng Baiqu project, the imperial court felt that the price of our Gaoling corvee was too expensive, and the engineering department for restoring the Luoyang Palace did not fall on us.
Therefore, Gaoling's corvee service has been quite idle recently, so Wang Zhenru has ordered some of the college students to go north to support the King of Yue."
"Is this possible?" Lu Cai was a little surprised when he heard Du Chuke's words.
"They are neither officials nor eunuchs, and they have no affiliation with the court. It is enough to retain some people to help the people of Gaoling carry out corvee. Without the King of Yan here, who can really use them
!”
Du Chuke calmly revealed the facts. When Li Tai was there, he wanted them to keep working.
But Li Tai left, the Zheng Guoqu project was completed, and then they seemed to have nothing to do.
The project rhythm that could not be stopped at all seemed to be less than life as Li Tai left!
To be honest, this is normal.
Strictly speaking, Du Chuke was only the magistrate of Gaoling County, and most basic projects such as Gaoling had forced Gaoling to complete the labor service during Li Tai's stay.
If Li Tai is still there, maybe he can still build the internal path of Guanzhong through communication with Li Shimin.
But now, Du Chuke only needs these Gaoling corvee labor service to maintain local infrastructure at most.
This way, there is no need for so much Gaoling corvee.
"As for the third part, it is the local Mo Scientologist. I think it is better to stay in Chang'an area and let them go to the hands of the King of Yan to play their role!"
Du Chuke put forward his own ideas, but it also has a bit of arbitrary behavior.
However, in the face of Du Chuke's arbitrary behavior at this moment, neither Lu Cai nor Peacock opposed it.
Because they also knew that the more authoritative Du Chuke was, the more his abilities could be displayed.
These are also the main cores left by the three. Li Tai usually lets Du Chuke be the main one, because he is the more authoritarian, the stronger his ability and the stronger his will.
