If it was granted to Lingnan, the territory of an ordinary county would be too small. After discussing with Empress Wu, Li Zhi finally announced Li Yue's title - King of Min, including Jianzhou, Quanzhou, Minzhou, Fuzhou, Changle County, that is to say, the old land of Minyue was granted to Li Yue.
Although this is actually a bit against the rules, ordinary princes are dismissed in just one state, but in this era in Lingnan, in the impression of most people, it is definitely a famous poor country. There are many people who were relegated to Lingnan, and those who committed suicide before leaving.Of course, there are also those who are dispatched to the south of the Five Ridges and have a relatively good time. For example, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were children from aristocratic families who were dispatched to the south of the Five Ridges. It's all for development, with so many people serving and protecting, let alone going to Lingnan, even if you go to the virgin forest, life will not be too sad.
Even if Datang is able to develop Lingnan now, but the sugar cane, the largest wealth in Lingnan so far, has been almost monopolized by the royal family. It is inevitable that people will feel that Li Yue is exiled if he is sealed there. Therefore, we have to To compensate Li Yue in other places, the easiest way is to directly expand the fiefdom.
"Min King?" Wu Shun was stunned when she heard about this. She is also a person who has studied and knows about the situation in Lingnan. Her first thought when she heard about this was that Li Yue was exiled. Before, she almost regarded Li Yue as her future son-in-law. She originally thought that this matter would be sure, but who would have thought that if Li Yue really went to Lingnan after encountering such a thing, then she would really be reluctant to let He Lan Minyue follow her. .
He Lanmin looked at Wu Shun's eyes, but felt that his mother was really short-sighted. What happened to the Prince of Fujian? Now, among the princes in the court, who has such a big fiefdom? Why did Yi Ai run over by herself?
After He Lanminzhi read the books Li Yue gave, she developed an almost blind admiration for Li Yue.He Lanminzhi is actually a smart person. In the real history, his character is indeed worrying, even a bit distorted, but when it comes to talent, he is not bad at all.If he was a dude, Empress Wu would not adopt him to the Wu family and integrate him into the title of Zhou Guogong.
He Lanmin has a sensitive temperament, and he is not comfortable staying in Chang'an now. As he grows older, he looks more and more handsome, or in other words, he has some male and female looks, which also caused him to encounter a lot of bad looks That's all, if other people have bad eyesight, with He Lanminzhi's temperament, it is normal for them to rush over and fight directly. Don't look at him as if he was born a little thin, in fact, He Lanminzhi's skills are not bad After a few times, most people would not dare to do anything in front of him. As for gossip behind his back, He Lan Minzhi just pretended not to know.
However, he can escape other people, but his grandmother cannot escape. Although Mrs. Rong Guo is not young, she is actually in good condition. Some changes. In the past, when Mrs. Rong Guo looked at He Lanmin, it was a normal grandmother looking at her grandson. But now, when Mrs. Rong Guo looked at this grandson, she already had the meaning of a woman looking at a handsome man.Although Mrs. Rong Guo never really showed it, but He Lanmin had seen a lot, and only felt a thorn in her back.He didn't dare to tell his mother about this kind of thing, Wu Shun is now either living in the palace, or living in Mrs. Rongguo's house, she is used to relying on others, even if He Lanminzhi mentioned that She took their brother and sister to move out, but Wu Shun didn't think it was necessary, especially when she heard Empress Wu said that He Lan Minzhi intended to inherit her father's title, she wanted her son to be close to her mother more and more, after all, Empress Wu just said this title, but in fact, it may not be counted. In fact, the Wu family has already called young juniors to come over to curry favor with the Yang family. Compared with He Lanminzhi, the Wu family is actually more legitimate.After all, the samurai Xun is not without heirs, he has a legitimate son.Under such circumstances, if Yang could not bear the pressure, it would be difficult for Empress Wu to make a real decision.
Wu Shun always asks He Lanminzhi to curry favor with Yang Shi, which makes He Lanminzhi really dumb to eat Coptis chinensis, unable to express his suffering.Therefore, at this moment, seeing Wu Shun dislike the title of Li Yue, the King of Fujian, He Lanminzhi simply took advantage of the topic: "Mother, you can see that my sister is naturally good, and I don't think any king or grandson is worthy of it." But, if she is really that good, why don't you choose the prince as your sister's husband?"
Wu Shun was a little embarrassed and scolded, "Min Yue is your sister!"
He Lan Minzhi said angrily: "I know she is my younger sister, but she is so old and heartless. Apart from being good-looking, she has no talent and no scheming. She is like this. To whom, even if you can rely on your good looks to live a good life for a few years at the beginning, but after a long time, what else can you do? Those who are seductive can have a few days!"
Wu Shun heard that He Lan Minzhi belittled his daughter so much, but he was a little paranoid. She is actually not as good as before with Li Zhi. No matter how beautiful she is, she is not young anymore. He Lan Minzhi is almost old enough to marry At the age of his wife, Wu Shun will be able to be a grandmother in a few years, even if she does have a bit of charm, but the beauty that Li Zhi has seen is called a crucian carp crossing the river. Empress Wu can impress him not only It's beauty and wisdom, but what about Wushun?Now even the beauty is not as good as before.This also gave Wu Shun a sense of crisis. Now that she heard what her son said, she even felt that there was something in his son's words. She despised herself as a mother. She suddenly became more impatient and said, "Minzhi, what are you doing?" mean?"
Seeing Wu Shun's stern look, He Lanmin felt disappointed and helpless at the same time, he sighed and said, "Mum, I have no other intentions, you just wanted to make King Min your son-in-law, but it was nothing more than that." It’s just wishful thinking, now you are still so picky and let others know, you still don’t know how to laugh at us!”
"A joke? Who would dare!" Wu Shun felt more and more that He Lanmin was mocking him, so he raised his voice, almost hysterical.
He Lanmin really didn't know how to communicate with his mother. He sighed and said, "Mother, that's the end of my words. You should think about your younger sister's marriage! Anyway, there is an aunt here, and my younger sister's The marriage won't be too bad, it's easy to choose a person, the second son or youngest son with a good family background just marry it, and there is no need for a housekeeper, it is also a good thing for my sister!"
Wu Shun retorted subconsciously: "Your sister is so beautiful and hearty, what kind of second son and youngest son will you marry? In the future, the family will be divided, and you won't even have a title. How will you live?"
He Lanmin became more and more tired. Didn't you let things get to this point?Therefore, he simply stood up and resigned: "Then mother, you can choose slowly! My son is resigning!"
Wu Shun looked at the back of He Lan Minzhi who was leaving resolutely, and suddenly became a little flustered. She sighed, and her expression became bewildered.
He Lanminzhi was going to look for Li Yue when he turned around. He wanted to follow Li Yue to Lingnan.As for Wu Shun, she never had any opinions in her life. Instead of going to her mother, she was going to enter the palace to discuss with Empress Wu.
Empress Wu is joking with Li Zhi at the moment: "Fifteenth Lang has been crowned King of Fujian, so it won't change again. It can't be that Shiwulang looks back and there is some improvement. The court wants to pick peaches." !"
This time, the court did not do it kindly, and Li Zhi knew it well, but peaches picked from his son are nothing, shouldn’t it be, so Li Zhi just smiled and said: "If Shiwulang If Lingnan can really be improved, so what if his lineage is hereditary in Lingnan?" Anyway, the meat is rotten in the pot, Lingnan is no better than other places, the main reason is that the transportation is inconvenient, even if the climate is good there, you can still go there. There are two crops per year, but except for a small number of places that can be cultivated, most of them are actually mountainous land. To be honest, there is more land that can be cultivated in South Vietnam, and there is always a plain there. There are many mountains and complex terrain. Even now, the imperial court can only maintain nominal rule over there, because the cost of rule is too high.In this way, we have to guard against the natives over there. For the Tang Dynasty, most of their troops were to guard against the Turks, Tubo, Tuyuhun and even the small countries in the Western Regions. However, for the south, the court was actually somewhat Unreachable, that side has always belonged to that kind of semi-autonomous existence.Minyue can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period when the Yue State was destroyed by the Chu State. Later, the remaining Yue people fled to Mindi and established Minyue.Later, during the Han Dynasty, Nanyue, Minyue, and Dongou were all destroyed by the Han Dynasty, but the Han Dynasty was considered to be relatively strong in organization, at least there were still some strong husbands and pavilion chiefs in the village. This kind of official position actually existed in name only in the Eastern Han Dynasty or the middle and late Western Han Dynasty, and those who held these official positions were already first-rate local tyrants.However, when it comes to organizational strength, the Han Dynasty is actually better than the present. Even so, they can only control it in name in the land of Mitsukoshi. Later, when the Sun family established Soochow, they had to devote a lot of energy to it. Spend on Yamagoshi.Anyway, Li Zhi felt that the Lingnan side was a weak point. If Li Yue could truly Sinicize that side and build it well, there would be a lot of tax paid to the court, and it would be nothing to leave Li Yue's line.
Empress Wu couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "Then I will thank Your Majesty for his generosity on behalf of Shiwulang!"
Li Zhi said with a smile: "Ah Wu said this, is it possible that I will cheat Shiwulang?"
While talking, someone came to report that Mrs. Han had an audience.
Empress Wu glanced at Li Zhi teasingly, then waved her hands, and said with a smile, "Please come in, sister!"
Li Zhi didn't think it was too embarrassing, his father had sisters in the harem, and Wu Shun was not his concubine in name, so he was calm about this place, but after Wu Shun came in and found Li Zhi was there, he felt a little uncomfortable Get up naturally.However, she quickly returned to her original state, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the saint is also there, but it's just a coincidence that I came!"
Empress Wu affectionately got up and pulled Wu Shun to sit next to her: "My sister hasn't entered the palace for a few days, but I miss you so much!" As she said, she ordered her to serve fresh drinks.
Wu Shun said smoothly: "Now that I have nothing to do at home, I want to talk to my mother!"
Li Zhi got up and said with a smile: "I won't interfere with what you sisters say!"
Empress Wu said with a smile: "We sisters, how could we hide the words from you, the sage, I think my sister is a little troubled, just let the sage help me to look into it!"
Wu Shun was a little ashamed, but she still insisted and said: "Actually, I just heard that King Ning was changed to King Min. I was a little surprised. I just wanted to inquire about the news!"
What kind of person is Empress Wu? She has always known the elegant meaning by listening to string songs. Moreover, Wu Shun once mentioned to her that He Lan Minyue's marriage is not up to date. He wants her to help give her a marriage in the future. He vaguely mentioned Li Yue. Empress Wu herself is also happy After all, there is nothing wrong with kissing your niece and marrying your own son.But seeing Wu Shun like this now, Empress Wu felt a little annoyed.I haven't disliked He Lan Minyue for being a stupid beauty, but now you are starting to dislike my son!Have you never thought about it, without me, you are still living under Hongnong's house, and the Helan family looked back at Helan Minyue's beauty, maybe they would choose a rich man to send him to be a concubine?
However, even though she was annoyed in her heart, Wu Hou didn't show the slightest sign. She smiled and said, "What's there to inquire about? Since the news has been spread, the edict will be issued after passing through the three provinces! Fifteen Lang! Son, he is very angry. He feels that there are many constraints on the Jiangnan side of Shandong, and he can't use his fists. He also likes the seaside. When His Majesty looks at the map, he can't seal people to Qiongzhou and Yizhou. Compared with Nanyue, Minyue is actually better. It's closer! Shiwulang also has some contacts with the Feng family, and when he arrives at Minyue, with the help of the Feng family, the situation will be opened soon!"
Seeing Empress Wu like this, Wu Shun was not sure what Empress Wu meant, so he just apologized and said with a smile: "Your Majesty also knows that I am a ignorant person, and Lingnan is too far away. I'm afraid His Highness will return to Beijing less frequently in the future." Already!"
Empress Wu sighed: "Is there any way, men just like to make contributions, and Shiwulang is not a dude who waits to eat and die. He is unwilling to stay in Chang'an, so let him be!"
Wu Shun suddenly looked at Li Zhi with a bad expression. She doesn't have any political sensitivity, but she is good at observing words and expressions, and said quickly at this moment: "Isn't that the case? I just said something casually at home before, and Min Zhi told me Dispute, I listen to him, he also wants to go to Lingnan. I only have these two children in my life, Minzhi is still young, how can I let him leave me!"
Hearing what Wu Shun said, Li Zhi's expression became a little more relaxed, and he smiled and said: "Madam is really worrying too much, Lingnan is not a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and Shiwulang used to be a prince, nothing else! Okay It's rare for a man to have such an ambition!" Saying this, Li Zhi really admired He Lanmin.
In the past, Li Zhi didn't have a deep impression of He Lan Minzhi. After all, He Lan Minzhi is not He Lan Minyue. Girls from every family can come and go in and out of the inner court at will. The time He Lan Minzhi meets Li Hong is comparable to that of Li Zhi has been seeing each other for a long time. It is nothing more than that he is the son of Wu Shun and the nephew of Empress Wu. Li Zhi usually remembers this person when he rewards him. However, this person actually wants to follow Li Yue to Lingnan. Zhi suddenly felt that He Lanmin didn't know anything else for the time being, but he definitely had eyes.In addition, he is indeed ambitious. Li Zhi also heard from Empress Wu that he intends to let He Lanminzhi inherit the title of warrior Xun. Li Zhi actually doesn't think there is any problem with this. To be the grandson of a samurai Xun does not violate the etiquette.After all, even if Samurai Xun's original spouse is the Xiangli family, the Yang family was still bestowed by Gao Zu himself, or the clan of the previous dynasty. Even if he is a little older, betrothing to the warrior Xun is still a low marriage, and his rightful status is in the Xiangli family. above.If you really want to make a strong argument, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang can definitely say that they are not the sons of the eldest son, because they are not from the Yang family, so it is reasonable to record He Lanmin under the name of the Yang family. As for the reaction of the Helan family, anyway, He Lan The family does not lack such a child.
It can be said that even if He Lanminzhi is just waiting to die, he will have a lifetime of glory and wealth. This is why many of the second generations in Beijing are ineffective. After all, their reincarnation skills are relatively strong. After birth, they have almost everything. Now, since you can lie down and win, why fight?Li Zhi was often upset by his relatives, and it was because of this that each of them felt that they were relatives of the emperor, and they only thought about the ready-made benefits. On Li Zhi's side, there would often be relatives who beat around the bush and begged for officials from his descendants. Like the Jinwu Guard, the Habayashi Guard, etc., most of the officers in it are the relatives of the emperor and the heroes who came to gild. Li Zhi can only let it go. Don't even pull out your own relatives!But one or two is fine, if there are too many, the royal family is not open to philanthropy!It’s fine if you’re capable, but every one of you has nothing to say, and they always have their eyes on the sky. They only want to get promoted and get rich, and don’t want to share the worries for the king at all. No wonder Li Zhineng is happy. Now there is a nephew who is willing to work hard. Lingnan He was willing to go to such a place, which made Li Zhi feel much more at ease, and his eyes looking at Wu Shun became softer.
Wu Shun was worried, feeling sorry for his son. After all, his son hadn't said he was going to Lingnan yet, so he just blurted out his opinion for Li Zhi's sake. How would he explain to his son later?In addition, she really hated her son.After she was with Li Zhi, in order to prevent Empress Wu from having thoughts, she had to take some contraceptive measures every time she was intimate with Li Zhi.In fact, there are still contraceptive measures these days, but only those rich and powerful can afford them. The least likely to hurt the body is the use of various spices that promote blood circulation. These spices are actually very good for the human body. It makes people look good and looks beautiful.Wu Shun not only used these spices on a daily basis, but also took some blood-activating decoction just in case, so as to ensure that he would not become pregnant, so as not to be eyed by Empress Wu.
He Lanminzhi is Wushun's only son, and he has almost relied on Wushun in this life. Now, his son was forced to go to Lingnan by himself, and Wushun felt a little annoyed.
Fortunately, Empress Wu didn't think about making Wushun really lose her sacred heart at this time. After all, compared to other young and charming concubines, this sister who has no opinions is better in control. Therefore, Empress Wu said with a smile: "Minzhi She's still young, I'm afraid my sister won't let it go!"
Wu Shun seemed to have grasped at the last straw, and quickly said: "Isn't it? I just heard that Min Zhi said that I was going to Lingnan, so I came to ask the saint and the empress for information! I'm just such a son. I see it like my heart, how can I give him too far away from me, besides, he is not married yet, if he gives birth to a grandson for me now, I don't care where he goes?"
This is also the mainstream idea of this era, just like the imperial conscript, as long as it is not really critical, a family with only one son will not be conscripted, and if the man in the family does something dangerous, It's best to leave descendants before leaving, otherwise, a natural or man-made disaster may cause the family to have no descendants.
Li Zhi could also understand Wu Shun's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Parents usually can't control their children's thoughts, madam should go back and persuade Minzhi well!"
Wu Shun said sadly: "That's all!"
Empress Wu said on the side: "Fifth Lang is actually a little younger than Minzhi. He is a prince after all. If he goes back, he will bring a lot of people with him. Before that, Princess Gaoyang's son-in-law Yiai also went to Lingnan. I don't think there is anything wrong with him, so he just came back, so he is ready to join the army!" Empress Wu was thinking now, if He Lan Minzhi really had this intention, it would not be a bad thing to let him follow Li Yue, after all, they actually He is an aunt and cousin, He Lanminzhi should still be loyal to him, after all, without him, He Lanminzhi is just an ordinary boy, how could he have the current situation.With He Lanminzhi's appearance, if he didn't have the corresponding status, he would have to turn back and become a plaything of the rich and powerful.He Lan Minyue reckoned that Wu Shun would be reluctant, so let He Lan Minzhi do it!
In fact, Empress Wu felt sorry for He Lan Minyue. Wu Shun is short-sighted. If Li Yue is not counted, He Lan Minyue's choices are actually very limited. The king, even if it is a county king, there are a lot of princesses, and many of the important officials in the court can get the title of a township king before they get married. In fact, this title is not high.In other words, the Tang Dynasty is the same as the Sui Dynasty, the overall title is not very valuable, even the courtiers are like this, let alone the female relatives.
For so many years, Empress Wu has seen He Lan Minyue's temperament clearly. She has limited aptitude and is not a particularly smart person. Because of her own reasons, she went from Hongnong to Chang'an and saw the most prosperous place in the world. Empress Wu has no daughter. In the palace, He Lan Minyue said that she was a country lord, but she actually enjoyed the treatment of a princess. The problem was that she was not a princess. After she got married, even if she married into an important official in the court or even a clan, there would be a clear gap. It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.Even if Wu Shun is Li Zhi who is very generous to her, there are always many rewards, and He Lan Minyue is the same, but their family does not have much property, and their annual income is limited. What's more, if He Lanmin wanted to marry a wife and have children, he would have to spend a lot of money. In this way, how much dowry would He Lanmin get when he got married? Under such circumstances, it would be no wonder that He Lanmin would be able to get married smoothly!On the contrary, it was Li Yue, he was really rich, and he was also loose-handed, and he was not stingy with anyone.Like Li Yue's wet nurse, Mrs. Zhu, Li Yue has also bought some property for Mrs. Zhu over the years. Even if Mrs. Zhu is no longer serving in the palace, she can be relied on for life when she leaves the palace.If He Lan Minyue marries Li Yue, even if she is superficial and ignorant, but even for the sake of her status, Li Yue will not treat her badly. She can still maintain the luxurious life before marriage. With her temper, Empress Wu is really not optimistic about her future.
Empress Wu did not expect that He Lan Minyue would directly target Li Zhi in the future, so now she is only regretting for He Lan Minyue. Of course, she will not remind Wu Shun that twisted melons are not sweet. If Wu Shun and He Lan Minyue alone Not happy, even if Empress Wu grants a marriage, it will only make things worse in the future.Although Li Yue usually has a good temper, he is actually very stubborn inside. Who knows what he will do in the future, and He Lan Minyue agrees that he is not a good tempered person, so don't make troubles.
Wu Shun didn't get any promises from Empress Wu's side, and it was inevitable that she would feel a little sad when she went back. Seeing that He Lan Minzhi was still practicing martial arts, she couldn't help but sighed again.He Lanmin felt helpless and impatient with such a mother, so he had to put down the long sword in his hand and asked, "Aunt, haven't you entered the palace yet? Why are you so discolored? Could it be that my aunt said something about you?" gone?"
Wu Shun couldn't help but started to cry: "Minzhi, I'm sorry, mother!"
He Lan Minzhi was taken aback. He was still a teenager after all, so he managed to calm down and asked, "Mother, what happened, please speak slowly!"
Wu Shun said the matter sobbingly, and He Lan Minzhi not only breathed a sigh of relief, but also laughed: "Mother, I originally planned to follow King Min to Lingnan! So, this is a good thing!"
When Wu Shun heard this, he was immediately startled: "What? You're going to Lingnan? Minzhi, you're trying to gouge out your mother's heart! I'm only your son. Once you leave, I..."
He Lanminzhi sighed: "Aunt, others are unreliable. I am in Chang'an, and I will not have much success in this life, but in Lingnan, with King Min here, there is great potential. Aunt, we I've grown so big, I really never begged my mother for anything, this time, I beg you, I must go to Lingnan!"
Wu Shun looked at He Lan Minzhi's expression, she was stunned at first, then became a little sad, she wiped away her tears and sighed: "That's all, since you insist, what else can Aunt say! The saint also said Well, a good man has ambitions everywhere, but you must be careful on the way to Lingnan, don't let Grandma worry, okay? Grandma will be like this in her life, but Minyue is still young!"
He Lanmin's expression was firm: "Even if it's for Minyue, I still want to go to Lingnan. Now that a girl is getting married, all she sees is her father and brother. Father is gone. If I can't stand up again, who will Minyue rely on in the future?"
Wu Shun looked at He Lan Minzhi, thinking of the deceased He Lan Chushi, he couldn't help feeling sad again.
The next day, He Lanminzhi really went to Li Yue's mansion. He took the books Li Yue gave him before and said, "Your Highness, I have read most of these books, and I understand most of them. I heard that His Highness has been named the King of Fujian, and he is about to go to Lingnan to take up his post, and he is not very talented, so I would like to do my best for His Highness!"
Li Yue glanced at He Lan Minzhi suspiciously, and asked, "I wonder if Mrs. Han knows about Minzhi's behavior?"
He Lan Minzhi quickly said: "Aunt, I have already made an agreement with her, and Aunt has agreed!"
Li Yue nodded, and gave him a vaccination in advance, and said: "Lingnan is not a good place, and the future is actually uncertain when I go here. You have a bright future. Before I leave, if you regret it, there is still time. !"
He Lan Minzhi nodded vigorously, and said: "No, Minzhi will not regret it. Your Highness is a genius, and it is Minzhi's luck to follow His Highness!"
Seeing He Lan Minzhi like this, Li Yue naturally felt a little emotional in his heart, he smiled and said: "If that's the case, then you should go back and prepare first, if you don't have anything to do, you can also come to my house!"
He Lanmin saw that Li Yue's attitude had changed significantly, and he was getting closer to him, so he couldn't help being a little excited. He quickly said, "As long as His Highness doesn't dislike him, Minzhi is naturally willing to come and ask for advice often!"
He Lanmin went back excitedly, but on Li Yue's side, since there were people who wanted to come, there were also people who wanted to leave.After all, although Li Yue has made many achievements in the past few years, Lingnan's reputation over the years has made many people daunted. They have made enough money with Li Yue before, and they all feel that there is no need to take risks to go to Lingnan.What's more, Li Yue's appointment as the king of Fujian also made many people suspect that Li Yue had lost his sacred heart. Therefore, it was too late to hide at this moment, so how could they continue to follow?
Li Yue also didn't intend to stay. It's like the relationship between future generations of companies and employees. It's a two-way choice. If the company wants to relocate, the future is uncertain. Those who are willing to follow are naturally loyal ministers, but those who don't want to, you can't force it.Therefore, as soon as those people said that they had any difficulties and didn't want to go to Lingnan, Li Yue agreed to come down and give him a gift, which was a good get-together and good break-up.
Both Gao Zheng and Mrs. Zhu were a little annoyed, and Gao Zheng said at the same time: "These people, if it weren't for His Highness, they didn't know what their situation was, but now His Highness is just going to Lingnan, nothing else. It's too late to hide, it's just unreasonable!"
Li Yue said relaxedly: "Everyone has their own aspirations. They feel that the risk of going to Lingnan outweighs the benefits, so naturally they don't want to take risks. They also have families and people, and they have to think about their own families. The climate in Lingnan is not suitable, and It is so far away from Guanzhong, and it will be inconvenient to go home in the future, and it is only natural that they have ideas, so there is no need to force them!"
Li Yue thought it was nothing, but Li Zhi had already started to feel wronged for Li Yue, asshole, I didn't dislike my son, but you guys did!When I saw Ningzhou's daily progress, I wanted to squeeze my head sharply, but now they run faster than anything else!Can such people be expected to be loyal to the imperial court?As the emperor, Li Zhi just gave a hint, and the officials understood that these people had no future at all.
Nowadays, besides Li Yifu, there is another important minister in the court, Xu Jingzong. These two are not very well-known. Xu Jingzong has a good background. He is the son of Xu Shanxin, the minister of rites in the Sui Dynasty, and the descendant of Xu Xun, a famous scholar in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. , can be regarded as a famous family.It's a pity that Xu Shanxin died early, and Xu Jingzong wasted many years, and he didn't come out until the later period of Zhenguan. This person is somewhat similar to Li Yifu's style, and his means of superiority are similar. They both belong to the martial arts faction. The class is also very proud.Like now, the Ministry of Officials is managed by Xu Jingzong. He got a hint from Li Zhi, and Xu Jingzong wrote down the names of those people in his notebook. Or save it!In addition, Xu Jingzong thought that these people had served as Li Yue's subordinates, and they might know some things about Li Yue's industry. Therefore, he wanted to trick them and convict them later, so as not to let Li Yue Yue's unique secret recipe was acquired by those aristocratic families.
Li Yue didn't know that Li Zhi was going to vent his anger on him. For him, the substitutability of those subordinate officials was too strong, so he didn't take it seriously. As long as the key people don't run away, it's fine. .The ones in Li Yue's mansion who are really closely related to his property are Fang Yi Ze and Li Qia.Li Qia is more in communication. He has become familiar with those tribes. In future generations, this person may be able to be the sales director of such a large enterprise. His communication skills are very strong, if he cheats you, you have to thank him!Therefore, it's okay if he doesn't follow.Li Yue even said that if he didn't want to go to Lingnan, he could recommend him to go to Honglu Temple and deal with those tribes in the future.
Li Qia is sober, if it weren't for Li Yue's so many good things, those tribal leaders on the grassland would know who he is!They are not stupid people, and you have no background, so you can expect them to look up to you?Dream it!There are only two beliefs on the grassland, one is force and the other is profit!Of course, interests are also guaranteed by force.Of course, Li Qia could continue to deal with those barbarians in Ningzhou, or Honglu Temple, but without Li Yue's endless stream of good things, then no matter how sharp his words are, it would be useless.Once Li Yue left, even if the few workshops in Ningzhou could continue to operate, their prospects would definitely not be as good as before.Among other things, the iron smelting workshop in Ningzhou will probably be shifted to Guanzhong in the future. Even if Ningzhou still keeps it, it will probably only keep cast iron. As for wrought iron and steel, it must be Can't stay there any longer.This time Ningzhou defended, but Ashina Helu didn't succeed, what if he didn't defend next time?Therefore, it is better to move to the hinterland of the Central Plains.
What's more, Li Yue told those son-in-laws about developing Lingnan before, and Li Qia firmly believed that Li Yue must have already planned the next step for Lingnan.As for the climate problem in Lingnan, Li Qia felt that a nobleman like Li Yue was not afraid, so what was he afraid of!Therefore, as soon as Li Yue raised the question of whether he could go or not, Li Qia immediately patted his chest and said that he was loyal to His Highness, and wherever His Highness went, he would go with him!
With Li Qia being so loyal, Li Yue naturally felt that it would be nice to have someone like Li Qia who is so smart and good at dealing with people follow him. They are all acquaintances, and it saves the need to find someone else. Therefore, it is also with Li Qia Qia made a statement that you will not fail me, and you will never fail you. By the way, Li Qia was rewarded with a lot of things.
Li Qia is like this, let alone Fang Yi. After Fang Yiai went to Lingnan, his view of Lingnan changed a lot. Moreover, the Fang family wanted to develop Lingnan, originally only intending to let their confidantes even choose a house from Qinghe. The Pangzhi people of the family went there, but in that case, they would definitely need to give up part of the benefits to the Qinghe Fang family, and now Fang Yi followed to Lingnan.Therefore, as soon as the news came out, Fang Yi gave Li Yue a guarantee, expressing that he would follow Li Yue to Lingnan.
Since these two will follow, the others, even if they go to the local area, it's okay to recruit again.I don't know how many officials have been exiled in Lingnan over the years, and their descendants are rarely pardoned. After all, these people have a deep family background. If they have a chance to make progress, they will naturally seize it. Therefore, Li Yue I don't worry too much about the future team.
On the contrary, it was Princess Gaoyang, Princess Xincheng, and a group of princess consorts who had met because of the development in Qiongzhou. After they got the news, they all came to the door one after another, saying that if there was any difficulty, they could help out.That's all for Princess Gaoyang and Princess Xincheng. The others don't have that deep friendship with Li Yue, but
Although this is actually a bit against the rules, ordinary princes are dismissed in just one state, but in this era in Lingnan, in the impression of most people, it is definitely a famous poor country. There are many people who were relegated to Lingnan, and those who committed suicide before leaving.Of course, there are also those who are dispatched to the south of the Five Ridges and have a relatively good time. For example, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were children from aristocratic families who were dispatched to the south of the Five Ridges. It's all for development, with so many people serving and protecting, let alone going to Lingnan, even if you go to the virgin forest, life will not be too sad.
Even if Datang is able to develop Lingnan now, but the sugar cane, the largest wealth in Lingnan so far, has been almost monopolized by the royal family. It is inevitable that people will feel that Li Yue is exiled if he is sealed there. Therefore, we have to To compensate Li Yue in other places, the easiest way is to directly expand the fiefdom.
"Min King?" Wu Shun was stunned when she heard about this. She is also a person who has studied and knows about the situation in Lingnan. Her first thought when she heard about this was that Li Yue was exiled. Before, she almost regarded Li Yue as her future son-in-law. She originally thought that this matter would be sure, but who would have thought that if Li Yue really went to Lingnan after encountering such a thing, then she would really be reluctant to let He Lan Minyue follow her. .
He Lanmin looked at Wu Shun's eyes, but felt that his mother was really short-sighted. What happened to the Prince of Fujian? Now, among the princes in the court, who has such a big fiefdom? Why did Yi Ai run over by herself?
After He Lanminzhi read the books Li Yue gave, she developed an almost blind admiration for Li Yue.He Lanminzhi is actually a smart person. In the real history, his character is indeed worrying, even a bit distorted, but when it comes to talent, he is not bad at all.If he was a dude, Empress Wu would not adopt him to the Wu family and integrate him into the title of Zhou Guogong.
He Lanmin has a sensitive temperament, and he is not comfortable staying in Chang'an now. As he grows older, he looks more and more handsome, or in other words, he has some male and female looks, which also caused him to encounter a lot of bad looks That's all, if other people have bad eyesight, with He Lanminzhi's temperament, it is normal for them to rush over and fight directly. Don't look at him as if he was born a little thin, in fact, He Lanminzhi's skills are not bad After a few times, most people would not dare to do anything in front of him. As for gossip behind his back, He Lan Minzhi just pretended not to know.
However, he can escape other people, but his grandmother cannot escape. Although Mrs. Rong Guo is not young, she is actually in good condition. Some changes. In the past, when Mrs. Rong Guo looked at He Lanmin, it was a normal grandmother looking at her grandson. But now, when Mrs. Rong Guo looked at this grandson, she already had the meaning of a woman looking at a handsome man.Although Mrs. Rong Guo never really showed it, but He Lanmin had seen a lot, and only felt a thorn in her back.He didn't dare to tell his mother about this kind of thing, Wu Shun is now either living in the palace, or living in Mrs. Rongguo's house, she is used to relying on others, even if He Lanminzhi mentioned that She took their brother and sister to move out, but Wu Shun didn't think it was necessary, especially when she heard Empress Wu said that He Lan Minzhi intended to inherit her father's title, she wanted her son to be close to her mother more and more, after all, Empress Wu just said this title, but in fact, it may not be counted. In fact, the Wu family has already called young juniors to come over to curry favor with the Yang family. Compared with He Lanminzhi, the Wu family is actually more legitimate.After all, the samurai Xun is not without heirs, he has a legitimate son.Under such circumstances, if Yang could not bear the pressure, it would be difficult for Empress Wu to make a real decision.
Wu Shun always asks He Lanminzhi to curry favor with Yang Shi, which makes He Lanminzhi really dumb to eat Coptis chinensis, unable to express his suffering.Therefore, at this moment, seeing Wu Shun dislike the title of Li Yue, the King of Fujian, He Lanminzhi simply took advantage of the topic: "Mother, you can see that my sister is naturally good, and I don't think any king or grandson is worthy of it." But, if she is really that good, why don't you choose the prince as your sister's husband?"
Wu Shun was a little embarrassed and scolded, "Min Yue is your sister!"
He Lan Minzhi said angrily: "I know she is my younger sister, but she is so old and heartless. Apart from being good-looking, she has no talent and no scheming. She is like this. To whom, even if you can rely on your good looks to live a good life for a few years at the beginning, but after a long time, what else can you do? Those who are seductive can have a few days!"
Wu Shun heard that He Lan Minzhi belittled his daughter so much, but he was a little paranoid. She is actually not as good as before with Li Zhi. No matter how beautiful she is, she is not young anymore. He Lan Minzhi is almost old enough to marry At the age of his wife, Wu Shun will be able to be a grandmother in a few years, even if she does have a bit of charm, but the beauty that Li Zhi has seen is called a crucian carp crossing the river. Empress Wu can impress him not only It's beauty and wisdom, but what about Wushun?Now even the beauty is not as good as before.This also gave Wu Shun a sense of crisis. Now that she heard what her son said, she even felt that there was something in his son's words. She despised herself as a mother. She suddenly became more impatient and said, "Minzhi, what are you doing?" mean?"
Seeing Wu Shun's stern look, He Lanmin felt disappointed and helpless at the same time, he sighed and said, "Mum, I have no other intentions, you just wanted to make King Min your son-in-law, but it was nothing more than that." It’s just wishful thinking, now you are still so picky and let others know, you still don’t know how to laugh at us!”
"A joke? Who would dare!" Wu Shun felt more and more that He Lanmin was mocking him, so he raised his voice, almost hysterical.
He Lanmin really didn't know how to communicate with his mother. He sighed and said, "Mother, that's the end of my words. You should think about your younger sister's marriage! Anyway, there is an aunt here, and my younger sister's The marriage won't be too bad, it's easy to choose a person, the second son or youngest son with a good family background just marry it, and there is no need for a housekeeper, it is also a good thing for my sister!"
Wu Shun retorted subconsciously: "Your sister is so beautiful and hearty, what kind of second son and youngest son will you marry? In the future, the family will be divided, and you won't even have a title. How will you live?"
He Lanmin became more and more tired. Didn't you let things get to this point?Therefore, he simply stood up and resigned: "Then mother, you can choose slowly! My son is resigning!"
Wu Shun looked at the back of He Lan Minzhi who was leaving resolutely, and suddenly became a little flustered. She sighed, and her expression became bewildered.
He Lanminzhi was going to look for Li Yue when he turned around. He wanted to follow Li Yue to Lingnan.As for Wu Shun, she never had any opinions in her life. Instead of going to her mother, she was going to enter the palace to discuss with Empress Wu.
Empress Wu is joking with Li Zhi at the moment: "Fifteenth Lang has been crowned King of Fujian, so it won't change again. It can't be that Shiwulang looks back and there is some improvement. The court wants to pick peaches." !"
This time, the court did not do it kindly, and Li Zhi knew it well, but peaches picked from his son are nothing, shouldn’t it be, so Li Zhi just smiled and said: "If Shiwulang If Lingnan can really be improved, so what if his lineage is hereditary in Lingnan?" Anyway, the meat is rotten in the pot, Lingnan is no better than other places, the main reason is that the transportation is inconvenient, even if the climate is good there, you can still go there. There are two crops per year, but except for a small number of places that can be cultivated, most of them are actually mountainous land. To be honest, there is more land that can be cultivated in South Vietnam, and there is always a plain there. There are many mountains and complex terrain. Even now, the imperial court can only maintain nominal rule over there, because the cost of rule is too high.In this way, we have to guard against the natives over there. For the Tang Dynasty, most of their troops were to guard against the Turks, Tubo, Tuyuhun and even the small countries in the Western Regions. However, for the south, the court was actually somewhat Unreachable, that side has always belonged to that kind of semi-autonomous existence.Minyue can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period when the Yue State was destroyed by the Chu State. Later, the remaining Yue people fled to Mindi and established Minyue.Later, during the Han Dynasty, Nanyue, Minyue, and Dongou were all destroyed by the Han Dynasty, but the Han Dynasty was considered to be relatively strong in organization, at least there were still some strong husbands and pavilion chiefs in the village. This kind of official position actually existed in name only in the Eastern Han Dynasty or the middle and late Western Han Dynasty, and those who held these official positions were already first-rate local tyrants.However, when it comes to organizational strength, the Han Dynasty is actually better than the present. Even so, they can only control it in name in the land of Mitsukoshi. Later, when the Sun family established Soochow, they had to devote a lot of energy to it. Spend on Yamagoshi.Anyway, Li Zhi felt that the Lingnan side was a weak point. If Li Yue could truly Sinicize that side and build it well, there would be a lot of tax paid to the court, and it would be nothing to leave Li Yue's line.
Empress Wu couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "Then I will thank Your Majesty for his generosity on behalf of Shiwulang!"
Li Zhi said with a smile: "Ah Wu said this, is it possible that I will cheat Shiwulang?"
While talking, someone came to report that Mrs. Han had an audience.
Empress Wu glanced at Li Zhi teasingly, then waved her hands, and said with a smile, "Please come in, sister!"
Li Zhi didn't think it was too embarrassing, his father had sisters in the harem, and Wu Shun was not his concubine in name, so he was calm about this place, but after Wu Shun came in and found Li Zhi was there, he felt a little uncomfortable Get up naturally.However, she quickly returned to her original state, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the saint is also there, but it's just a coincidence that I came!"
Empress Wu affectionately got up and pulled Wu Shun to sit next to her: "My sister hasn't entered the palace for a few days, but I miss you so much!" As she said, she ordered her to serve fresh drinks.
Wu Shun said smoothly: "Now that I have nothing to do at home, I want to talk to my mother!"
Li Zhi got up and said with a smile: "I won't interfere with what you sisters say!"
Empress Wu said with a smile: "We sisters, how could we hide the words from you, the sage, I think my sister is a little troubled, just let the sage help me to look into it!"
Wu Shun was a little ashamed, but she still insisted and said: "Actually, I just heard that King Ning was changed to King Min. I was a little surprised. I just wanted to inquire about the news!"
What kind of person is Empress Wu? She has always known the elegant meaning by listening to string songs. Moreover, Wu Shun once mentioned to her that He Lan Minyue's marriage is not up to date. He wants her to help give her a marriage in the future. He vaguely mentioned Li Yue. Empress Wu herself is also happy After all, there is nothing wrong with kissing your niece and marrying your own son.But seeing Wu Shun like this now, Empress Wu felt a little annoyed.I haven't disliked He Lan Minyue for being a stupid beauty, but now you are starting to dislike my son!Have you never thought about it, without me, you are still living under Hongnong's house, and the Helan family looked back at Helan Minyue's beauty, maybe they would choose a rich man to send him to be a concubine?
However, even though she was annoyed in her heart, Wu Hou didn't show the slightest sign. She smiled and said, "What's there to inquire about? Since the news has been spread, the edict will be issued after passing through the three provinces! Fifteen Lang! Son, he is very angry. He feels that there are many constraints on the Jiangnan side of Shandong, and he can't use his fists. He also likes the seaside. When His Majesty looks at the map, he can't seal people to Qiongzhou and Yizhou. Compared with Nanyue, Minyue is actually better. It's closer! Shiwulang also has some contacts with the Feng family, and when he arrives at Minyue, with the help of the Feng family, the situation will be opened soon!"
Seeing Empress Wu like this, Wu Shun was not sure what Empress Wu meant, so he just apologized and said with a smile: "Your Majesty also knows that I am a ignorant person, and Lingnan is too far away. I'm afraid His Highness will return to Beijing less frequently in the future." Already!"
Empress Wu sighed: "Is there any way, men just like to make contributions, and Shiwulang is not a dude who waits to eat and die. He is unwilling to stay in Chang'an, so let him be!"
Wu Shun suddenly looked at Li Zhi with a bad expression. She doesn't have any political sensitivity, but she is good at observing words and expressions, and said quickly at this moment: "Isn't that the case? I just said something casually at home before, and Min Zhi told me Dispute, I listen to him, he also wants to go to Lingnan. I only have these two children in my life, Minzhi is still young, how can I let him leave me!"
Hearing what Wu Shun said, Li Zhi's expression became a little more relaxed, and he smiled and said: "Madam is really worrying too much, Lingnan is not a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and Shiwulang used to be a prince, nothing else! Okay It's rare for a man to have such an ambition!" Saying this, Li Zhi really admired He Lanmin.
In the past, Li Zhi didn't have a deep impression of He Lan Minzhi. After all, He Lan Minzhi is not He Lan Minyue. Girls from every family can come and go in and out of the inner court at will. The time He Lan Minzhi meets Li Hong is comparable to that of Li Zhi has been seeing each other for a long time. It is nothing more than that he is the son of Wu Shun and the nephew of Empress Wu. Li Zhi usually remembers this person when he rewards him. However, this person actually wants to follow Li Yue to Lingnan. Zhi suddenly felt that He Lanmin didn't know anything else for the time being, but he definitely had eyes.In addition, he is indeed ambitious. Li Zhi also heard from Empress Wu that he intends to let He Lanminzhi inherit the title of warrior Xun. Li Zhi actually doesn't think there is any problem with this. To be the grandson of a samurai Xun does not violate the etiquette.After all, even if Samurai Xun's original spouse is the Xiangli family, the Yang family was still bestowed by Gao Zu himself, or the clan of the previous dynasty. Even if he is a little older, betrothing to the warrior Xun is still a low marriage, and his rightful status is in the Xiangli family. above.If you really want to make a strong argument, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang can definitely say that they are not the sons of the eldest son, because they are not from the Yang family, so it is reasonable to record He Lanmin under the name of the Yang family. As for the reaction of the Helan family, anyway, He Lan The family does not lack such a child.
It can be said that even if He Lanminzhi is just waiting to die, he will have a lifetime of glory and wealth. This is why many of the second generations in Beijing are ineffective. After all, their reincarnation skills are relatively strong. After birth, they have almost everything. Now, since you can lie down and win, why fight?Li Zhi was often upset by his relatives, and it was because of this that each of them felt that they were relatives of the emperor, and they only thought about the ready-made benefits. On Li Zhi's side, there would often be relatives who beat around the bush and begged for officials from his descendants. Like the Jinwu Guard, the Habayashi Guard, etc., most of the officers in it are the relatives of the emperor and the heroes who came to gild. Li Zhi can only let it go. Don't even pull out your own relatives!But one or two is fine, if there are too many, the royal family is not open to philanthropy!It’s fine if you’re capable, but every one of you has nothing to say, and they always have their eyes on the sky. They only want to get promoted and get rich, and don’t want to share the worries for the king at all. No wonder Li Zhineng is happy. Now there is a nephew who is willing to work hard. Lingnan He was willing to go to such a place, which made Li Zhi feel much more at ease, and his eyes looking at Wu Shun became softer.
Wu Shun was worried, feeling sorry for his son. After all, his son hadn't said he was going to Lingnan yet, so he just blurted out his opinion for Li Zhi's sake. How would he explain to his son later?In addition, she really hated her son.After she was with Li Zhi, in order to prevent Empress Wu from having thoughts, she had to take some contraceptive measures every time she was intimate with Li Zhi.In fact, there are still contraceptive measures these days, but only those rich and powerful can afford them. The least likely to hurt the body is the use of various spices that promote blood circulation. These spices are actually very good for the human body. It makes people look good and looks beautiful.Wu Shun not only used these spices on a daily basis, but also took some blood-activating decoction just in case, so as to ensure that he would not become pregnant, so as not to be eyed by Empress Wu.
He Lanminzhi is Wushun's only son, and he has almost relied on Wushun in this life. Now, his son was forced to go to Lingnan by himself, and Wushun felt a little annoyed.
Fortunately, Empress Wu didn't think about making Wushun really lose her sacred heart at this time. After all, compared to other young and charming concubines, this sister who has no opinions is better in control. Therefore, Empress Wu said with a smile: "Minzhi She's still young, I'm afraid my sister won't let it go!"
Wu Shun seemed to have grasped at the last straw, and quickly said: "Isn't it? I just heard that Min Zhi said that I was going to Lingnan, so I came to ask the saint and the empress for information! I'm just such a son. I see it like my heart, how can I give him too far away from me, besides, he is not married yet, if he gives birth to a grandson for me now, I don't care where he goes?"
This is also the mainstream idea of this era, just like the imperial conscript, as long as it is not really critical, a family with only one son will not be conscripted, and if the man in the family does something dangerous, It's best to leave descendants before leaving, otherwise, a natural or man-made disaster may cause the family to have no descendants.
Li Zhi could also understand Wu Shun's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Parents usually can't control their children's thoughts, madam should go back and persuade Minzhi well!"
Wu Shun said sadly: "That's all!"
Empress Wu said on the side: "Fifth Lang is actually a little younger than Minzhi. He is a prince after all. If he goes back, he will bring a lot of people with him. Before that, Princess Gaoyang's son-in-law Yiai also went to Lingnan. I don't think there is anything wrong with him, so he just came back, so he is ready to join the army!" Empress Wu was thinking now, if He Lan Minzhi really had this intention, it would not be a bad thing to let him follow Li Yue, after all, they actually He is an aunt and cousin, He Lanminzhi should still be loyal to him, after all, without him, He Lanminzhi is just an ordinary boy, how could he have the current situation.With He Lanminzhi's appearance, if he didn't have the corresponding status, he would have to turn back and become a plaything of the rich and powerful.He Lan Minyue reckoned that Wu Shun would be reluctant, so let He Lan Minzhi do it!
In fact, Empress Wu felt sorry for He Lan Minyue. Wu Shun is short-sighted. If Li Yue is not counted, He Lan Minyue's choices are actually very limited. The king, even if it is a county king, there are a lot of princesses, and many of the important officials in the court can get the title of a township king before they get married. In fact, this title is not high.In other words, the Tang Dynasty is the same as the Sui Dynasty, the overall title is not very valuable, even the courtiers are like this, let alone the female relatives.
For so many years, Empress Wu has seen He Lan Minyue's temperament clearly. She has limited aptitude and is not a particularly smart person. Because of her own reasons, she went from Hongnong to Chang'an and saw the most prosperous place in the world. Empress Wu has no daughter. In the palace, He Lan Minyue said that she was a country lord, but she actually enjoyed the treatment of a princess. The problem was that she was not a princess. After she got married, even if she married into an important official in the court or even a clan, there would be a clear gap. It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.Even if Wu Shun is Li Zhi who is very generous to her, there are always many rewards, and He Lan Minyue is the same, but their family does not have much property, and their annual income is limited. What's more, if He Lanmin wanted to marry a wife and have children, he would have to spend a lot of money. In this way, how much dowry would He Lanmin get when he got married? Under such circumstances, it would be no wonder that He Lanmin would be able to get married smoothly!On the contrary, it was Li Yue, he was really rich, and he was also loose-handed, and he was not stingy with anyone.Like Li Yue's wet nurse, Mrs. Zhu, Li Yue has also bought some property for Mrs. Zhu over the years. Even if Mrs. Zhu is no longer serving in the palace, she can be relied on for life when she leaves the palace.If He Lan Minyue marries Li Yue, even if she is superficial and ignorant, but even for the sake of her status, Li Yue will not treat her badly. She can still maintain the luxurious life before marriage. With her temper, Empress Wu is really not optimistic about her future.
Empress Wu did not expect that He Lan Minyue would directly target Li Zhi in the future, so now she is only regretting for He Lan Minyue. Of course, she will not remind Wu Shun that twisted melons are not sweet. If Wu Shun and He Lan Minyue alone Not happy, even if Empress Wu grants a marriage, it will only make things worse in the future.Although Li Yue usually has a good temper, he is actually very stubborn inside. Who knows what he will do in the future, and He Lan Minyue agrees that he is not a good tempered person, so don't make troubles.
Wu Shun didn't get any promises from Empress Wu's side, and it was inevitable that she would feel a little sad when she went back. Seeing that He Lan Minzhi was still practicing martial arts, she couldn't help but sighed again.He Lanmin felt helpless and impatient with such a mother, so he had to put down the long sword in his hand and asked, "Aunt, haven't you entered the palace yet? Why are you so discolored? Could it be that my aunt said something about you?" gone?"
Wu Shun couldn't help but started to cry: "Minzhi, I'm sorry, mother!"
He Lan Minzhi was taken aback. He was still a teenager after all, so he managed to calm down and asked, "Mother, what happened, please speak slowly!"
Wu Shun said the matter sobbingly, and He Lan Minzhi not only breathed a sigh of relief, but also laughed: "Mother, I originally planned to follow King Min to Lingnan! So, this is a good thing!"
When Wu Shun heard this, he was immediately startled: "What? You're going to Lingnan? Minzhi, you're trying to gouge out your mother's heart! I'm only your son. Once you leave, I..."
He Lanminzhi sighed: "Aunt, others are unreliable. I am in Chang'an, and I will not have much success in this life, but in Lingnan, with King Min here, there is great potential. Aunt, we I've grown so big, I really never begged my mother for anything, this time, I beg you, I must go to Lingnan!"
Wu Shun looked at He Lan Minzhi's expression, she was stunned at first, then became a little sad, she wiped away her tears and sighed: "That's all, since you insist, what else can Aunt say! The saint also said Well, a good man has ambitions everywhere, but you must be careful on the way to Lingnan, don't let Grandma worry, okay? Grandma will be like this in her life, but Minyue is still young!"
He Lanmin's expression was firm: "Even if it's for Minyue, I still want to go to Lingnan. Now that a girl is getting married, all she sees is her father and brother. Father is gone. If I can't stand up again, who will Minyue rely on in the future?"
Wu Shun looked at He Lan Minzhi, thinking of the deceased He Lan Chushi, he couldn't help feeling sad again.
The next day, He Lanminzhi really went to Li Yue's mansion. He took the books Li Yue gave him before and said, "Your Highness, I have read most of these books, and I understand most of them. I heard that His Highness has been named the King of Fujian, and he is about to go to Lingnan to take up his post, and he is not very talented, so I would like to do my best for His Highness!"
Li Yue glanced at He Lan Minzhi suspiciously, and asked, "I wonder if Mrs. Han knows about Minzhi's behavior?"
He Lan Minzhi quickly said: "Aunt, I have already made an agreement with her, and Aunt has agreed!"
Li Yue nodded, and gave him a vaccination in advance, and said: "Lingnan is not a good place, and the future is actually uncertain when I go here. You have a bright future. Before I leave, if you regret it, there is still time. !"
He Lan Minzhi nodded vigorously, and said: "No, Minzhi will not regret it. Your Highness is a genius, and it is Minzhi's luck to follow His Highness!"
Seeing He Lan Minzhi like this, Li Yue naturally felt a little emotional in his heart, he smiled and said: "If that's the case, then you should go back and prepare first, if you don't have anything to do, you can also come to my house!"
He Lanmin saw that Li Yue's attitude had changed significantly, and he was getting closer to him, so he couldn't help being a little excited. He quickly said, "As long as His Highness doesn't dislike him, Minzhi is naturally willing to come and ask for advice often!"
He Lanmin went back excitedly, but on Li Yue's side, since there were people who wanted to come, there were also people who wanted to leave.After all, although Li Yue has made many achievements in the past few years, Lingnan's reputation over the years has made many people daunted. They have made enough money with Li Yue before, and they all feel that there is no need to take risks to go to Lingnan.What's more, Li Yue's appointment as the king of Fujian also made many people suspect that Li Yue had lost his sacred heart. Therefore, it was too late to hide at this moment, so how could they continue to follow?
Li Yue also didn't intend to stay. It's like the relationship between future generations of companies and employees. It's a two-way choice. If the company wants to relocate, the future is uncertain. Those who are willing to follow are naturally loyal ministers, but those who don't want to, you can't force it.Therefore, as soon as those people said that they had any difficulties and didn't want to go to Lingnan, Li Yue agreed to come down and give him a gift, which was a good get-together and good break-up.
Both Gao Zheng and Mrs. Zhu were a little annoyed, and Gao Zheng said at the same time: "These people, if it weren't for His Highness, they didn't know what their situation was, but now His Highness is just going to Lingnan, nothing else. It's too late to hide, it's just unreasonable!"
Li Yue said relaxedly: "Everyone has their own aspirations. They feel that the risk of going to Lingnan outweighs the benefits, so naturally they don't want to take risks. They also have families and people, and they have to think about their own families. The climate in Lingnan is not suitable, and It is so far away from Guanzhong, and it will be inconvenient to go home in the future, and it is only natural that they have ideas, so there is no need to force them!"
Li Yue thought it was nothing, but Li Zhi had already started to feel wronged for Li Yue, asshole, I didn't dislike my son, but you guys did!When I saw Ningzhou's daily progress, I wanted to squeeze my head sharply, but now they run faster than anything else!Can such people be expected to be loyal to the imperial court?As the emperor, Li Zhi just gave a hint, and the officials understood that these people had no future at all.
Nowadays, besides Li Yifu, there is another important minister in the court, Xu Jingzong. These two are not very well-known. Xu Jingzong has a good background. He is the son of Xu Shanxin, the minister of rites in the Sui Dynasty, and the descendant of Xu Xun, a famous scholar in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. , can be regarded as a famous family.It's a pity that Xu Shanxin died early, and Xu Jingzong wasted many years, and he didn't come out until the later period of Zhenguan. This person is somewhat similar to Li Yifu's style, and his means of superiority are similar. They both belong to the martial arts faction. The class is also very proud.Like now, the Ministry of Officials is managed by Xu Jingzong. He got a hint from Li Zhi, and Xu Jingzong wrote down the names of those people in his notebook. Or save it!In addition, Xu Jingzong thought that these people had served as Li Yue's subordinates, and they might know some things about Li Yue's industry. Therefore, he wanted to trick them and convict them later, so as not to let Li Yue Yue's unique secret recipe was acquired by those aristocratic families.
Li Yue didn't know that Li Zhi was going to vent his anger on him. For him, the substitutability of those subordinate officials was too strong, so he didn't take it seriously. As long as the key people don't run away, it's fine. .The ones in Li Yue's mansion who are really closely related to his property are Fang Yi Ze and Li Qia.Li Qia is more in communication. He has become familiar with those tribes. In future generations, this person may be able to be the sales director of such a large enterprise. His communication skills are very strong, if he cheats you, you have to thank him!Therefore, it's okay if he doesn't follow.Li Yue even said that if he didn't want to go to Lingnan, he could recommend him to go to Honglu Temple and deal with those tribes in the future.
Li Qia is sober, if it weren't for Li Yue's so many good things, those tribal leaders on the grassland would know who he is!They are not stupid people, and you have no background, so you can expect them to look up to you?Dream it!There are only two beliefs on the grassland, one is force and the other is profit!Of course, interests are also guaranteed by force.Of course, Li Qia could continue to deal with those barbarians in Ningzhou, or Honglu Temple, but without Li Yue's endless stream of good things, then no matter how sharp his words are, it would be useless.Once Li Yue left, even if the few workshops in Ningzhou could continue to operate, their prospects would definitely not be as good as before.Among other things, the iron smelting workshop in Ningzhou will probably be shifted to Guanzhong in the future. Even if Ningzhou still keeps it, it will probably only keep cast iron. As for wrought iron and steel, it must be Can't stay there any longer.This time Ningzhou defended, but Ashina Helu didn't succeed, what if he didn't defend next time?Therefore, it is better to move to the hinterland of the Central Plains.
What's more, Li Yue told those son-in-laws about developing Lingnan before, and Li Qia firmly believed that Li Yue must have already planned the next step for Lingnan.As for the climate problem in Lingnan, Li Qia felt that a nobleman like Li Yue was not afraid, so what was he afraid of!Therefore, as soon as Li Yue raised the question of whether he could go or not, Li Qia immediately patted his chest and said that he was loyal to His Highness, and wherever His Highness went, he would go with him!
With Li Qia being so loyal, Li Yue naturally felt that it would be nice to have someone like Li Qia who is so smart and good at dealing with people follow him. They are all acquaintances, and it saves the need to find someone else. Therefore, it is also with Li Qia Qia made a statement that you will not fail me, and you will never fail you. By the way, Li Qia was rewarded with a lot of things.
Li Qia is like this, let alone Fang Yi. After Fang Yiai went to Lingnan, his view of Lingnan changed a lot. Moreover, the Fang family wanted to develop Lingnan, originally only intending to let their confidantes even choose a house from Qinghe. The Pangzhi people of the family went there, but in that case, they would definitely need to give up part of the benefits to the Qinghe Fang family, and now Fang Yi followed to Lingnan.Therefore, as soon as the news came out, Fang Yi gave Li Yue a guarantee, expressing that he would follow Li Yue to Lingnan.
Since these two will follow, the others, even if they go to the local area, it's okay to recruit again.I don't know how many officials have been exiled in Lingnan over the years, and their descendants are rarely pardoned. After all, these people have a deep family background. If they have a chance to make progress, they will naturally seize it. Therefore, Li Yue I don't worry too much about the future team.
On the contrary, it was Princess Gaoyang, Princess Xincheng, and a group of princess consorts who had met because of the development in Qiongzhou. After they got the news, they all came to the door one after another, saying that if there was any difficulty, they could help out.That's all for Princess Gaoyang and Princess Xincheng. The others don't have that deep friendship with Li Yue, but
