Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Important prices such as grain, salt, and cloth are reflected in this document. At present, there are hemp crops in Guangzhou, and sericulture and other industries in Guangzhou and other places are also very developed. However, due to technical constraints, Guangzhou The Canton silk produced is not as good as the silk silk from the Jiangnan region and the Central Plains region, and the quality gap is quite large.

Therefore, the current price and quality of Lingnan silk is very low, including when the Tang court collected taxes, this level of silk had to be charged more to make up for the tax.

Of course, this does not include the textile industry of Yuelai Commercial Bank, but all the things currently produced by Yuelai Commercial Bank, except for the sale near Chang'an, are mainly stored in other places, and are not sold at all.

In addition to these, it is the population of Lingnan Road. At present, the total population of Lingnan Road is only about 130 million, of which nearly 20 are in Guangzhou Prefecture, and the other 110 million are distributed in various places in Lingnan Road.

The population is larger than Li Ke imagined, probably because at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the population of this place suffered from wars and deaths were actually relatively small, and there are quite a few of them who have not been counted, which are the barbarian tribes located in the mountains.

There is also the relationship between the local wealthy families and businessmen, as well as their respective spheres of influence. It can be seen that these news are already very detailed.

After reading the entire document, Li Ke knew what was in his mind, and Yuelai Trading Co., Ltd. had already bought a necessary small high-quality iron ore near Guangzhou. It is said that there is no problem with this reserve for decades. In addition, there are high-quality limestone mines and coal mines. There are many high-quality coal mines near Guangzhou.

The production equipment in these places has also been built, but production has not yet started.

"Good job, have you finished collecting information about Zhenxue and Linyi?"

"The collection has been completed and is being sorted out. Because there are not many trade items, we don't have many business exchanges, but it is not difficult to collect their intelligence." Li Dai replied.

"Well, that's it, I'll take a look." Li Ke nodded with satisfaction. Isn't the Yuelai Firm that he has developed for so many years used to do this.

"Your Highness, the fine beach you need, I have prepared for you, and the relevant houses have been built." Li Dai said again.

"Oh? That's just right. I plan to build it after I come. When did it start?" Li Ke was a little surprised.

"It started last year. It was Mr. Tian Meng who sent an order saying that Your Highness mentioned that you wanted a good beach, so I asked you to prepare it in advance. I have been under your Highness's care for so many years, and what you can prepare for Your Highness Not much, Your Highness, you have finally needed us, and I will do my best."

"I am interested, haha, thank you for your preparation, then we can just live there." Li Ke said with a smile.

"Your Highness, you have beaten the evil minister. This is what the minister should do. The minister built a small dock there. Your Highness, we can take a boat there." Li Dai said quickly.

"Well, yes." Li Ke nodded in satisfaction.

Coming out of Yuelai Trading Company, Li Ke and the others returned to the boat at the port, and then changed to a small boat.

On the way, Li Ke looked at this bustling port, which was at least 2000 years old in later generations. It can be seen from the development of Guangzhou Port that China has attached great importance to the ocean from ancient times to the present. It is a pity that it is like 1000 years later, the Internet There are a lot of trolls saying that space is useless, and spending so much money every year is worse than distributing it to the people to improve their lives.

When the Qing Dynasty faced the ocean back then, why didn’t they think so? They felt that the ocean was useless, the Qing Dynasty didn’t need the ocean, and closed the country and banned the sea.

Guangzhou Yard emerged in the Qin and Han Dynasties. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Lanhu Lake in the west of Guangzhou City was a natural safe haven with a river channel leading to the Pearl River in the south. Lanhu Wharf was also the most important inner harbor in Guangzhou at that time.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, as the north bank of the Pearl River moved southward, Poshan Ancient Ferry became the most important inner harbor wharf. port pier.In the later Song Dynasty, Guangzhou's main inner port wharf will be moved to Shibapu.

As for the external port, currently the most important external port in Datang is Fuxu Port, which is later known as Huangpu Port.

Li Ke's King of Qin docked here, of course, and now their ships will dock here to go to the inner harbor wharf.It's not far from the beach they prepared for Li Ke.

But what Li Ke didn't expect was that when their boats turned to the inner port wharf, he found that there were many small boats patrolling back and forth in the middle of the river, and the boats used these small boats to form left and right separate entry and exit routes.

And in the middle of their way to the pier, they passed the beach prepared for Li Ke. It's just this location... If Li Ke remembers correctly, this should be the Dajiaoshan Seaside Park in later generations?

The King of Qin followed the river to the inner harbor wharf, while the boat Li Ke and the others took went directly to the wharf of Li Ke's seaside manor.

After the ship docked at this wharf, Li Ke noticed that according to Li Dai, although this wharf is a special wharf for his manor, the scale of the construction is not small. Absolutely no problems, just stop by.

"Your Highness, a total of 4400 acres of land around this beach is your Qinwangzhuang. I have helped you build the main manor buildings. The other scenery has not been changed on a large scale, and it has retained its natural storm. I feel that since your Highness has come to Guangzhou, you must prefer the original scenery of Guangzhou, Gu Chen has not changed it, if you have any preferences, Your Highness, I will call the craftsmen." Li Dai said respectfully.

"No, it's fine like this." Li Ke looked at the large dense and tall mangrove forest not far away, and said with some emotion, this thing was a national key protection object after more than 1000 years, and now it can be seen everywhere here.

On the right side of the pier is a long, white and unpolluted beach, and not far from the beach, Li Ke has already seen many coconut trees dotted among them.

On the beach, there are quite a few antique pavilions dotted with thatched wooden pedestals. This design has something to do with it. From a distance, this kind of pavilion does not have any abrupt feeling, and it does not use the traditional architectural cornices of the Tang Dynasty. and other structures.

Chang Le and Li Yan, who got off the boat, were already full of joy.

"Your Highness, ships on the waterway are not allowed to approach here. If any ships approach illegally, please be vigilant, Your Highness." Li Dai said again.

"I understand. Let's go and have a look on the beach." Li Ke walked directly from the pier to the beach. The beach is not far from the pier. On the beach, Li Ke simply took off his shoes and barefooted Walked on the beach.

The white and delicate beach is extremely comfortable to step on. Although it is slightly hot, it is very comfortable.The entire beach has no impurities, and Li Ke seriously suspects that it has been cleaned up by Li Dai and the others.

Tsk tsk, put it in later generations, looking at this private beach that is at least 2000 meters long, how much does it cost? !
