Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

"Everyone is welcome. I have never met you before. I wonder if you can all introduce yourself and let me get to know each other." Li Ke said with a smile.

His Royal Highness Qin Wang said so, and all the governors present naturally re-introduced to Li Ke one after another. Li Ke remembered their appearance and so on, and then smiled and said: "I am honored to meet you today. I am really happy to be the pillar of the country stationed in the frontiers of Tang Dynasty, today I am entertaining you at the largest restaurant in Guangzhou, and I would like to invite you all to honor me."

"Your Highness, you are being polite. Your Highness has come all the way from afar. We should hold a banquet to welcome His Highness." Dang Renhong hurriedly saluted.

"The governor of the party is welcome. I came here just to condolences to you. There is no reason for you to host a banquet." Li Ke said with a smile.

After repeated refusals, these people no longer refused, but followed Li Ke to a restaurant. This restaurant was opened by His Royal Highness Qin Wang, of course they knew it. After all, the name of His Royal Highness Qin Wang, even in this Lingnan Road It is also quite famous.

No way, the Datang Weekly in Guangzhou Mansion has been running all the time, and it has published many deeds of the court, which makes the people of Lingnan Road all respect Li Ke, and the national martyr of the Tang Dynasty The establishment of the cemetery was a heavy blow to all the soldiers in Lingnan Province.

Not to mention that these government soldiers are actually members of the common people. In addition, there are Quyuanli, new-style columbine carts, etc., one by one, each piece seems to have little influence, but in fact it has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The policy made the name of His Royal Highness King Qin quite well-known in Lingnan Road.

Many people's homes have the longevity tablet of His Highness King Qin.

The reason why they got the news in advance was naturally that there was news sent from the mainland. This was official news, and it was delivered by water at the fastest speed.Second, when these people came, they naturally wanted to see what His Royal Highness Qin Wang, who is known as the God of Wealth of the Tang Dynasty, looked like, and what the businessman Hu Zhi did after he came back.

Many people have different ideas in their hearts, because Lingnan Road is really a place where the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Even the way the Tang Dynasty ruled Lingnan Road was to appease the local wealthy families and appoint local wealthy families. Come here, what do you want to do?

They wanted to see if His Royal Highness King Qin was as powerful as the rumors said?

There is a restaurant, and in the largest private room, there are only ten people at this table. They are Li Ke and the governors of the Nine Mansions of the Tang Dynasty, and they can also be said to be the main powerful figures in the entire Lingnan Road.

"Everyone, to be honest, before I came to Lingnan, I was thinking along the way, when I got to Lingnan Road, how should I show you off." Li Ke smiled and said directly after sitting down.

As soon as Li Ke's words came out of his mouth, everyone present except Dang Renhong's expressions became a little weird. This...they have never seen His Royal Highness King Qin like this before, how can they say it directly when they are dismounted?

Is Xia Mawei said to be Xia Mawei?

"After all, to be honest, Lingnan Road is as high as the sky and the emperor is far away. My father's appointment may not be effective here, and the folk customs here are barbaric. There are many tribes of various ethnic groups in the mountains. The local wealthy families are the best candidates to lead the area. Great Tang If you want Lingnan Road to be stable for a long time, it is impossible to do anything to you." Li Ke said indifferently.

Everyone had different expressions, but no one interrupted casually. The main reason was that His Highness's way of speaking made them feel uncomfortable. These people are used to speaking reservedly and making insinuations. They have never experienced such straightforward speaking. .

And what Li Ke said, everyone knows that this is the case, but you can't say it clearly.

Dang Renhong twisted his buttocks. He was the most uncomfortable because he was not a local. As the governor of Guangzhou, he was appointed by the imperial court. The problem was that Li Ke's words really made him feel even more uncomfortable.

So Dang Renhong subconsciously wanted to say something.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to speak, Li Ke stretched out his hand to stop him, but continued: "However, I knew too much about this place before I came here. Although it is said that ruling the place depends on you, I also know that, All of you are the pillars of the Tang Dynasty, and have been stationed in the frontiers for the Tang Dynasty for a long time, conscientious, honest and diligent, such as Governor Feng An."

"So, you don't need to show off, just take it as me to give everyone a wake-up call."

"Have you seen the boat I came here today?" Li Ke looked at them and asked.

"I see, it's really mighty. Is this a new type of sea ship from the Tang Dynasty?" Feng An hurriedly responded, and the others also responded.

"Yes! This is Datang's new sea-going ship. It adopts a brand-new design. It seems to be a smaller ship than my King of Qin. It will be the main sea-going ship of Datang. Its speed has been greatly improved, and it can In 7 days, they rushed day and night from Youzhou Bohai to Guangzhou. Each ship can carry more than [-] soldiers."

"Ten sea ships can carry [-] elite soldiers. In the past, traveling to Lingnan by land was a long way, the terrain was dangerous, and there was also miasma and plague (ancient plague is a collective name, which probably means an infectious disease), so it was really difficult to use a large army. , but with sea ships carrying soldiers, tens of thousands of troops are nothing more than dozens of sea ships, probably in July this year, Datang will be able to produce more than [-] sea ships like this." Li Ke said lightly.

Everyone fell silent. It turned out that... this is the shaming power?Or the alarm bell His Highness said?There are 1 people on ten ships. As long as there are fifty or sixty sea ships, the Tang Dynasty will dispatch an elite army of fifty to sixty thousand troops to reach Guangzhou by sea at any time.

Lingnan is indeed far away and the terrain is dangerous. The problem is that it means arriving from the Central Plains by land, but if you arrive at Guangzhou from the sea and then attack... you can't say that it is a flat river, but it is much simpler than inland!

"Of course, I'm not here to threaten everyone, but to warn everyone, don't think that Emperor Shan Gao can do whatever he wants and disobey the laws of the Tang Dynasty." Li Ke said lightly.

Don't you call this a threat?So what is a threat?Everyone was speechless.

"Thank you for your highness, I dare not wait." Everyone stood up and saluted.

"Sit down, as I said, I'm not admonishing you, I'm just giving you a wake-up call. Datang will not let any criminal go, but he won't wrong any loyal minister either. These, I actually want to tell you one thing, I am not here just to condolences. I am here to make money for you." Li Ke said lightly.

"Make money?" Everyone was stunned, or is it making money for us?

"Well, make money." Li Ke said with a smile, "I like win-win the most."
