Great Tang Southern Emperor

"Your Highness, Your Highness, you can't do this to me. It's not that you don't know that my math skills are not good. You asked me to do this, isn't it making me laugh?" Fang Yiai was about to cry, and hurriedly chased after her to plead: "Besides, with the ability of the subordinates, even if you can't be a high-ranking official, it's still okay to be a general, right? Now let me take care of this so-called Shibosi, isn't that an overkill?"

"I'm not joking, I'm serious. The Shibo Department is very important to me, and now only you can support the operation of the Shibo Department." Li Zhen is naturally serious, and the Shibo Department is not an easy position.Its status is equivalent to the customs of later generations, and it goes without saying how powerful the customs is. It is an all-round department that combines tax collection, anti-smuggling, coastal defense, supervision, inspection, etc., and even has a special army.

And Li Zhen's Shipbuilding Department is also preparing to build according to the customs, so naturally such an important department cannot fall into the hands of others, and only Li Zhen's own control can make him feel at ease.

But among all Li Zhen's confidantes, Du He is in charge of assisting Li Zhen in his work, and he cannot do without Li Zhen for the time being; Liu Rengui is in charge of training the navy; The level of education is not good enough to sit on one side independently, and the prestige of the rest is not enough to support the scene.

After thinking about it carefully, only Fang Yiai can be drawn out. First of all, as a fierce general, Fang Yiai lacks the ability to command, and Li Zhen already has Xue Rengui and Xi Jun in his hands. , Fang Yiai's government affairs ability is still very good. After all, there is an old prime minister. Third, the Shibo Department itself also needs a certain amount of combat power. With Fang Yiai in charge, Li Zhen can rest assured.

After telling Fang Yi'ai her thoughts, Fang Yi'ai immediately became proud: "It turns out that the Shibo Department is so important, so I will reluctantly help His Highness take care of it first."

"It's just Your Highness, I don't have anyone. If it's really like what His Highness said, I can't support such an important department as the Shibo Department alone, and you just told me the functions of the Shibo Department. Let me I don't have a clue if I build it alone."

"Don't worry about the manpower, I will arrange it for you, and I will guarantee that all of them are talents who can be used immediately." Li Zhen promised: "As for the planning of the Shibo Department, I will hand it over to you later."

"Then I'm relieved, thank you Your Highness." Fang Yiai nodded and said, as long as there is someone, he will solve half of his troubles.

"However, Your Highness, let me tell you first, I'm just here to help you watch temporarily, if there is any battle in the future, you can't forget me."

Li Zhen quickly promised: "Don't worry, as long as you can build the Shibo Division for me, and then train qualified successors, I will naturally return you to the army."

Having received Li Zhen's guarantee, Fang Yiai was very excited: "Great, when will I take office?"

"You can do it now." Li Zhen said with a smile: "I'll sign a letter of appointment for you later and allocate money. You can take office now."

"Yes, this subordinate is going to take office now." Fang Yi'ai went there happily, and seeing his high spirits, Li Zhen could imagine that the construction of Yuezhou Port would definitely progress rapidly in the future.

Chapter 45 Job Arrangement and Lingnan Tour Envoys

Nodding in satisfaction, Li Zhen turned around, but was suddenly taken aback, only to see Xue Rengui, Xi Junmai and the others were staring at him with green eyes motionless, like a pack of wolves seeing a prey Same, very creepy.

"What are you doing?"

"Your Highness, Yi Ai has a task, so do we have any arrangements?" Du He glanced at Fang Yi Ai who was enthusiastically directing the coolies to unload the goods, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes.

"Of course there are." Li Zhen nodded and said: "You should know that the father not only made me the king of Yue, but also gave me the position of governor of Yuezhou, right?"

"That's right, with this, Your Highness, you can take over the Yuezhou military, but it has nothing to do with politics, right?"

"But what you don't know is that my father also gave me the position of a Lingnan appeasement envoy. This position is the same as the chief commander of the Lingnan Road Marching Army, but unlike the chief officer, the appeasement envoy is equipped with both civil and military skills. Exterminate the bandits to appease the village, and have the right to take over the state affairs in the absence or absence of a state official, and if necessary, order all the states and counties in Lingnan to cooperate with the work of appeasement." Li Zhen glanced at Xu Daoshen without a trace : "Biejia, the governor of Yuezhou Prefecture, has been killed now, which means that I have now completely controlled all major military and political affairs in Yuezhou."

Xi Junmai was surprised and said: "No? You still have such a strong position? In this way, your Highness, aren't you the native of Yuezhou? How could the emperor give you such great power?"

"Under normal circumstances, of course I won't give it, but what if my reasons are good enough?"

Du He lowered his voice and said, "No matter how good the reason is, the emperor can't give you such great power, right? How is this different from splitting the country?"

"It's very simple. I told my father that I can build Yuezhou into a super metropolis comparable to or even surpassing Chang'an within ten years."

"What? How is this possible?" Du He exclaimed. Although Li Zhen once told them that he would build Yuezhou well, they never thought of building Yuezhou beyond Chang'an.

"Chang'an is a thousand-year-old imperial capital. It took nearly a thousand years of construction to achieve today's scale. How is it possible for us to do this in ten years?"

"I know you don't believe it, but what I want to tell you is that it is true. I will definitely be able to build Yuezhou into an international metropolis within ten years." Li Zhen said with great emotion. No one else knows, Li Zhen But it is very clear, how long did it take Shenzhen from a small fishing village to a metropolis?Since Shenzhen can do it, why can't Li Zhen do it?Moreover, the current Yuezhou is much easier to develop than the later Shenzhen. The so-called international metropolis of today is not the same concept as the international metropolis of later generations. There is no comparison between the two.

"Anyway, since you came here with His Highness, you have to give it a try." Xue Rengui trusted Li Zhen very much: "Besides, Your Highness has the legacy of an old god. Is it difficult to build a Chang'an in ten years? We have As long as we build a city that is strong enough and large enough, it is hard to believe that no one will settle here. And as long as there is a population, will it be difficult to surpass Chang'an?"

Xi Junmai struggled and said: "That's what I said, but I still feel a little unbelievable, after all, it is Chang'an."

"This is a conceptual problem, and it will be resolved slowly." Li Zhen smiled and said, "But it's only ten years anyway, so you'll know when the time comes?"

"Then having said so much, what position does His Highness plan to arrange for us?" Du He turned the question back.

"Your position." Li Zhen thought for a while, and said: "Rengui, you will be the captain of Zhechong in Yuezhou Zhechong, and Junmai will be your deputy. Your temporary task is to crusade against the seven major forces, but the seven major forces The forces are distributed in the south of the Five Ridges. You are just the captains of the Zhechong Mansion in Yuezhou. Manager Liu should come to visit me in the next few days. At that time, I will ask him to arrange a post for you as a general to fight against bandits. You will lead the Zhechong Mansion and the personal guards to fight The seven major forces, after the seven major forces are calmed down, I will arrange other positions for you.

Du He's position remains the same, you will still be your advisor to the Yue Palace and join the military, and you will still be by my side and help me with government affairs. "

"Yes." The three should claim yes.

"Your Highness, what about those people?" Du He suddenly said coldly: "Now that they are on our land, should they be refrigerated or expelled?"

"No, they are capable anyway, so it's a pity to give up like this." Li Zhen naturally knew who Du He was talking about, and it was nothing more than the person sent by the family to him.These people may have sincerely come to assist him, but because there are aristocratic families standing behind them, Li Zhen didn't use them too much. Most of them just gave them the status of guests of the Yue Palace. A small official of the ninth rank.

"But none of them have good intentions."

"No, they all really helped me, otherwise they wouldn't have been frozen for so long, and they wouldn't have left me." Li Zhen shook her head and said, "It's just that they are more loyal to the family behind them."

"What does His Highness mean?"

"They are all capable, so don't be too sorry, but before using them, we need to make arrangements."

Everyone in the aristocratic family saw Li Zhen's potential, so the people who were sent to him were not trash, but elites. Any one of these people would be enough to serve as a county magistrate. It's not a pity for such a talent.

"Yes, this subordinate understands." Du He said clearly, the so-called arrangement is nothing more than placing the blood dragon guard's spies beside them, and then taking him by his side to watch for himself, so as to ensure that they will not Will leak.

"But speaking of it, how many positions did the emperor give to your highness? You are the governor of Yuezhou, and you are also the appeasement envoy of Lingnan. Will there be another position in a few days?"

"No, my father only gave me three positions." Li Zhen said with a smile: "Besides those two, there is also a Lingnan Road Patrol Envoy, which actually puts me in charge of the construction of the Lingnan Highway. It’s better to connect the Luoyue Highway earlier.”

"Actually, this position is the biggest one, right?" Du He complained, but he was very happy for Li Zhen's favor in his heart, because road patrol is not something ordinary people can get.

Road patrol is a new position in Datang these years, mainly to build cement roads. This position looks ordinary, but in fact it has great power. There is also the right to use the army, the power is amazing, so Li Shimin usually gives it to his confidantes.

Wei Zheng was the first person to take up the post of patrol envoy. Under his leadership, three local roads into Shu were completed, but he resigned after the completion of the roads.

The second patrol envoy is Li Jing. He is mainly building the road from Dengzhou to the Western Regions across the Tang Dynasty. It is expected that he will step down after the road is completed.

The third is Hou Junji, who built the Luoyue Highway.In a way, Li Zhen, the Lingnan tour envoy, was Hou Junji's subordinate.

However, Li Zhen's position is the Lingnan Road Patrol Envoy, and he is not only in charge of the Luoyue Highway, but all the construction of the entire Lingnan Road is under his jurisdiction. That is to say, as long as Li Zhen is willing, he can completely interfere in Lingnan Government affairs of all states and counties.From a certain point of view, Li Zhen has now mastered all the government affairs in Lingnan, and has become the real emperor of Lingnan.

Chapter 270 Trading and Feng Gai's Death

Chapter 46 Trading and the Von Gay Who Killed

"It's just such a big right, can it really be exchanged for a promise?" Du He thought suspiciously, anyway, Li Shimin is also a wise emperor, and it is impossible for Li Zhen to fool him like this. The big power is handed over to him, right?Is it really that simple?But he didn't ask this question, because there is obviously some unknown transaction in it, if Li Zhen is willing to say it, he will naturally say it, and if he breaks the casserole and asks the bottom line, not only will Li Zhen feel disgusted or even disgusted, but he also knows Too many things is not a good thing for him.

"" Li Zhen saw Du He's doubts, but did not explain too much. Of course, the matter is not as simple as a promise. For these rights, Li Zhen gave away steelmaking techniques, artillery and glass production methods. Li Shimin didn't know how much other small technologies were given, and he also repeatedly promised that he would never abuse his power. In addition, Li Zhen's technology is indeed too tempting (in Li Zhen's view, it is a small technology, but in Li Shimin's view, it is all Technology that can strengthen the country), Li Shimin reluctantly agreed, otherwise you can try another prince?It's no wonder that Li Shimin beat you to death.

Although he lost a lot of technology, Li Zhen didn't feel pain, because only with these rights in his hands, he could ensure that the construction of Yuezhou would continue steadily, and he would not be picked halfway. But there is a habit of changing titles, especially Li Shimin's sons, almost every one of them has been changed (it seems that Li Zhi has always been the king of Jin and has not been changed).For example, Li Ke was first named King of Shu, and then changed to King Wu. The same is true for Li Zhen in history. He was first named King of Han, then King Yuan, and finally King of Wu. As the king of Yue, it can be seen how common the change of title was during the Tang Dynasty.Li Zhen didn't want to have some achievements just now, and then Li Shimin saw that he had a full-fledged posture, and sealed himself to another place with a paper edict.

But now that she has these rights, she is not afraid. If Li Zhen is sent to another place, should she be promoted or degraded in terms of treatment?Li Shimin is unwilling to be promoted, but if he is downgraded, Li Zhen has not made any mistakes, but he has made a lot of contributions.Hard to convince.

Besides, since Li Zhen was changed and left, there must be a new king of Yue in Yuezhou.In the same way, since Li Zhen has so much power, what attitude will Li Shimin have towards the King of Xinyue?Should it be treated according to the treatment of the original Yue King, or is it enough to improve the meaning a little?

If it is according to Li Zhen's specifications, the new king has not made an inch of merit, and it is still difficult to convince the public to rashly give such a high treatment.But if it's just meaning, the new king won't be satisfied—why?Li Zhen, you give such a high treatment, you are here just for fun, father, you have something to do with me, right?Definitely have an opinion, right?No matter what, Li Shimin is in a dilemma.
