MTL - My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty-Chapter 413 Develop the coast!

All the main officials of the imperial court were replaced by Li Yin, which made Li Yin take on a lot less government affairs. After all, government affairs management robots will not betray Li Yin, and they are very good at various government affairs. Li Yin can do it. Entrusting government affairs to them without having to intervene in everything, Li Yin had some doubts about robots managing the country before, but the success of Somalia has proved that this is feasible.

In this campaign against corruption, fewer officials were sacked in Yizhou than in the Changan faction. This was the only thing that was gratifying to Li Yin, but Tong Nian, a veteran who had been with him for more than ten years, was arrested. It was found that the amount of bribery was huge, which made Li Yin sad and hated, but anyway, Tong Nian had been with him for more than ten years. After thinking about it, Li Yin finally pardoned his capital crime and exiled him When I arrived in Ryukyu, it was announced that I would never be hired.

After a **** storm passed, other officials who had withstood the test were also sweating, and these new bosses were thrown into the busy government affairs again, and continued to be busy with Datang's future development plan. At this time, Li Yin also started Busy with a royal internal matter.

   "The King of Wu, Li Ke, sees the emperor!" On this day, Li + Ding + Dian + Xiaoxiao was reviewing memorials in the study room, and after the **** reported, he led a person in.

  Li Yin heard the words and got up and helped Li Ke up, saying: "Third brother, you don't need to be polite."

   Now that the younger brother is enthroned as emperor, his elder brother is naturally very happy, but he also understands the principle that a king is a king and a minister is a minister, and said: "Your Majesty, there is a difference between a king and his ministers. The emperor is still called the king of Wu."

  Li Yin asked Li Ke to sit down on the sofa, and smiled helplessly: "Okay, you and the queen mother are the same, and you have to call me emperor."

   "Your majesty is the son of heaven, so naturally you can't shout indiscriminately. My majesty, I don't know why you recruited your ministers from Jingzhou?" Li Ke rushed from Jingzhou to Chang'an after receiving the notice.

Li Yin said: "King Wu has managed Jingzhou in an orderly manner these years, and now I have a more important place to hand over to you. I don't know if you are willing, and besides you, I plan to let the princes of Li Zhi go to other places recently In office, when my father abdicates, let me trust and reuse you, I think it's about time."

Although Jingzhou has developed well in recent years relying on the convenience of Yizhou, Li Ke always feels that Jingzhou has encountered a bottleneck in its development. The reason is that the population in Jingzhou is too small, which seriously limits its development. It looks like it, and I want to change places. So he said: "The princes are all successful in their studies now, and they are all relatives of the emperor. They should also undertake some government affairs for the emperor's worries. The ministers are also willing to share the emperor's worries, but I don't know where the emperor plans to send the ministers?"

   Li Yin stood up and walked towards a modern map. Li Ke followed behind Li Yin, also looking at the huge map on the wall. This map is the same as the map of Tang Dynasty, but the cities marked on the map are indeed a bit strange. For example, the place in Yizhou became Sichuan Province, the place in Jingzhou became Hubei Province, and the place in Chang’an became Shanxi Province, and some strange city names appeared.

   "What's going on, Your Majesty?" Li Ke looked at the map and asked suspiciously.

  Li Yan smiled. With the development of Datang, many things are no longer suitable for Datang, including the division of states and counties, and the division of Dao, which should be eliminated, so the modern map was slightly changed and brought out. In the future, the administrative regions of Datang will be re-divided, which is also easy to manage, because there is no specific division of Datang in many places, especially the division of administrative regions in Yunnan and Guizhou. Including Ryukyu, there is no specific administrative division. "This is Datang's new administrative division map. Immediately, Datang will abolish the division of East Road and Jiannan Road."

  Li Ke looked at the map carefully, and found that the map is really very specific, including every road is clearly marked, and it is clear at a glance, "Then what does His Highness mean by provinces and cities?"

"This is too cumbersome. I will prepare an explanation for you later for you to read carefully. Let's talk about the place where you work." Li Yin pointed to a place. Identify some key residential areas, which is also convenient for the construction of public facilities, including Yizhou, Chang'an, Guangzhou, Luoyang, Youzhou (Beijing), Yangzhou, Suzhou, Dengzhou and other places, and one of them is similar to these places The ratio is still very backward, but the potential of this place is great, because with the advent of the era of sea navigation, coastal cities are bound to prosper, and this place is here."

   Li Ke looked at the place Li Yin was pointing at, and said, "Shanghai?" Then he asked doubtfully, "Isn't this place Huating County?"

   Li Yin nodded. In the Tang Dynasty, there was no place name of Shanghai, but Huating County. It should be called Shanghai Town in the Song Dynasty. "This is the new name of this place."

   "The emperor asked me to work in this place?" Li Ke frowned. This place is just a small fishing village. If he didn't know Li Yin well, he would have thought that Li Yin would change his direction and exile him to this place.

"That's right, next, Datang will have a relocation operation. I will move some people from poor villages to these places, because in these mountainous areas, it is too wasteful of resources to build roads for a dozen people, and facilities such as circuits. Daddy, these people will move to Shanghai to promote the development there. I know this job is very hard, but among all the princes, I think only you can do it, but don't worry, I will provide you with all the resources you need. Provide priority.” Li Yin said that it was too difficult to find people with prestige and ability at this time, so Li Yin thought of Li Ke, and from later generations, Li Yin understood that the transfer of the economic center to the coast was an inevitable process, and He's just speeding up the process.

"It is enough to have the emperor's words, which shows that the minister is still of some use to Datang." Li Ke said with a soft smile, "From the time the emperor sent the shipyard in Yizhou to this place, the minister knew that the emperor was very fond of this place. It's important, I didn't expect that what I thought was right, but the emperor doesn't know if the emperor can promise me one thing or not?"

   Li Ke's words are basically accepted as an errand, Li Yin said: "Although I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."

After thinking for a while, Li Ke said: "Nowadays maritime trade is prevalent, it is only a matter of time before these coastal cities prosper, but compared with Ryukyu's developed maritime transportation, Shanghai still has no advantage at present, so, if His Highness can pave the roads of various states and counties to Shanghai , and then build a large seaport in Shanghai, the development of this place will not be a problem.”

Li Ke is very smart. If the roads converge to Shanghai, many merchants can transfer their goods to Shanghai by land, and the large seaport can ensure that these goods can be sold to the world through Shanghai. This will promote the development of Shanghai. , and even attracted a large number of businessmen to build factories in Shanghai.

Li Yin thought for a while, and agreed to Li Ke's request without hesitation. It is inevitable to strengthen the construction of coastal cities, and Li Yin is willing to pay the cost. How can a coastal city do it.

The two discussed the matter, and Li Yin and Li Ke chatted about some things, then Li Ke got up and went to the Hall of Compassion to visit Concubine Yang, Li Ke accepted the construction of Shanghai, and Li Yin began to think about how to Assign official positions to princes such as Li Zhi, Li Yun, and Li Zhen. These three guys have received more than ten years of modern education. How can they be considered talents in Datang? Politics and law are completely independent, and Li Yin is not afraid of them going to the locals to mess around, because he is not worried that they will rebel, and the work he is asked to undertake is only government affairs. If they are not competent, Li Yin intends to let them eat, drink and play for the rest of their lives. This is also worthy of Li Shimin. His elder brother has done his best, and no one can say anything at that time. (To be continued..)
