    "Why do you want to kill Zhang Shiqi? This man is very useful." Li Daoyan asked while drinking tea after learning that brothers Zhang Shiqi and Zhang Shisan died in the rebellion.  That look was like asking you why you killed a stray dog.

    "The two brothers have been in Dongting Lake for too long. Although Zhang Shiqi is still smart, he can't play in Chang'an. Once he gets angry or other things, he will definitely return to Dongting Lake.  , they have connections, family background, and are native to their hometown. They can build up a team within ten months. I don¡¯t want to come to Jiangnan again.

    It¡¯s better now that it¡¯s winter. If it were summer, mosquitoes would eat you.  This Dongting Lake is not Guanzhong, and it cannot be completely pacified overnight.  Yun Hao said with a sigh as he looked at the vast Dongting Lake. The Zhang family brothers were all dead, and his men also suffered heavy casualties due to the fire.

    Those who were not dead or injured were all packed up and taken away by Yunhao.  These are just minions. Without the prestige of the Zhang brothers, they cannot make big waves.  Dongting Lake is very good now. Although it is not clean, it is still quiet.

    "You kid always have excuses, and you can make your excuses sound high-sounding. But why did you call that kid?" Li Daoyan raised his chin, and that direction was Du He who followed Li Chengqian.

    "Nothing, I just want to develop the two lakes. Dongting Lake receives as much water from the Yangtze River every year, and it also receives a lot of silt. The 800-mile radius of Dongting Lake is full of good fertile land. Because of the climate,  The rice here can be produced twice a year. If the two lakes are fully utilized and developed, this place will definitely be a land of fish and rice. By then, the two lakes will be ready for the world." Yunhao looked at Yunmengze in front of him, which would be a famous land of fish and rice in later generations.  But now, it is more of a wilderness.

    As early as the former Sui Dynasty, the Yang family's court had begun to pay attention to the development of the two lakes.  Helpless, there were frequent wars in the north.  The imperial court could not have so much energy to develop the two lakes that lagged behind the country.

    Of course, the most important thing is that northerners are unwilling to immigrate to the two lakes. The very different climate conditions have caused serious acclimatization for northerners.  The former Sui Dynasty even once positioned the two lakes as places where prisoners were exiled!

    At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the country was in chaos, and the imperial court was even less able to develop the two lakes.  The Li and Tang dynasty, established in the early days of Guozuo, would have been good if they could stabilize the two lakes, but they had no power to develop the two lakes.

    The water bandits in Dongting Lake are said to be forced by the government and the people to rebel.  In fact, it is more because of poverty and wealth that ghosts are willing to float on the water all day long, living a life of today and no tomorrow.  To put it bluntly, poverty is the root cause of instability in the two lakes.  If the poverty problem is not solved, this place will definitely become chaotic again.

    "You said this place would be a land of plenty?" Li Daoyan's eyes widened, as if he had heard the best joke in the world.

    "Don't believe it?" Yunhao squinted at Li Daoyan.

    "Believe it! Why don't you believe it! I believe everything you say! I'm just curious about this land of plenty. Where are the fishermen and where are the rice growers?" Li Daoyan looked at Yunhao jokingly.

    Yunhao sighed helplessly, after the war in the late Sui Dynasty.  The population of the Tang Dynasty fell to a terrible low. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, the population of the Tang Dynasty was only 12 million.  It is not even comparable to the imperial capitals and magical capitals of later generations, and even only has the population of some second-tier cities.

    Such a population is spread across a huge empire.  Guanzhong is naturally the center of population concentration, but in the south.  People sprinkled some pepper on the ground, "There is no cockcrow for a thousand miles" is not just a poem.

    Li Daoyan is right, if you want to develop, you cannot do without people.  Where is Keren?  Although the population continues to grow, it can take more than ten years at the fastest for a child to grow up.  Developing the two lakes now is definitely a stupid idea.  When the country has a population, it must first fill up the northwest and Hebei.  In this way, we can effectively curb the invasion of foreign nations.

    "You are right, we have no one now. But don't forget that since the rule of the world in the seventh year of Wude, the population has been gradually growing. Sooner or later, the land in the north will be overwhelmed. By then, we will have to develop the two lakes.  A man who knows both lakes well.¡±

    "You have taken a fancy to that boy. He can be the prince's man. Now he is very popular in the East Palace and his future will be unlimited. If Lao Du knew that you deceived his son into not walking in the Prince's East Palace. Hehe! This will make a big feud. Be careful, Lao Du  I'll beat you until Lintong." Li Daoyan said with a playful smile.

    "It's not certain that you think Fang Moudu Jue is a lie. Neither the Fang family nor the Du family are members of the five surnames and seven sects. Although they hold high positions, they are still suppressed by the family members and cannot hold their heads up.  Come on. After all, there is still a lack of background. How do you know that Du He came to Jiangnan this time not to stay in Jiangnan?" Yunhao looked at Li Daoyan with a smile.

    ?Words of virtue.

    Even though the two of them were kissing like one person, she still liked to say that.  What man doesn't like to be adored by the woman he loves?  Perhaps this is the reason why Li Er spends most of his time in Changsun Palace every month.

    "But this time when I went out, I also learned from that cunning Yun Hao. The memorial to me actually said that the poor bandits in Jiangnan lived on vegetation and captured very little." Thinking about the fact that my son made a fortune in Jiangnan,  He actually didn't share the stolen goods with me.  Li Er began to feel unhappy!

    The Battle of the Grasslands emptied the Tang Dynasty's treasury, if not for Yun Hao's ruthless robbery of Goryeo.  Datang's financial crisis will continue, although it is getting better now.  However, there was never enough money to spend, and the title of Iron Rooster was firmly placed on Changsun Wuji's head.  Sometimes, even Li Er's approval note doesn't work.

    Lack of money!  The Battle of the Grasslands was actually a loser. No wonder Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spent decades conquering the grasslands and squandered all the savings left over from Wenjing's rule.  The lives of the common people were miserable.

    Except for cattle and sheep, that place seems to have little output.  Hou Junji was still sweeping the grassland with his army, and if there were any disobedient people, he would kill them immediately.  Steel knives and blood have become the two eternal themes on the grassland. Under high pressure, there is a sound of surrender in the grassland.  Tian Khan's name is already as famous as Tengger's.

    "Yunhao is just a money man, and he doesn't know what he needs so much money for? Yun Zhang came to the palace yesterday and asked me to prepare some money. He said that there was a big deal to be done, and the only people who could invest in it were me and  Prince. Your Majesty, please say!" Changsun said hesitantly.

    "Oh, how much are you prepared for?" Li Er asked with interest.

    Every time Yunhao does business, he takes Li Er with him.  Now the Yun family's business is almost Li Er's business.  Every year, the Yun family's dividends are a big benefit to the inner government.  Li Er is very interested in Yunhao's big business.

    "It is said that it will cost at least 600,000 guan. The Yun family will pay 300,000 guan. The prince will pay 100,000 guan!" the eldest grandson said with some difficulty.

    "One million dollars in business?" Li Er took a breath and looked at his eldest grandson in surprise.  One million yuan, this is an incredible amount of money.  The annual income of the Tang Dynasty was only six million yuan.

    Why does Yunhao need so much money? A mountain of copper coins is enough to bury Lintong.

    "That's indeed the case. That's why I came to ask His Majesty! Mrs. Yun Zhang said that she wanted to start a bank. She also talked about connecting the world. I didn't understand it, so I came to ask His Majesty's opinion."

    Li Er patted his wife on the shoulder. He knew that Changsun was talking nonsense.  If she didn't understand it, she wouldn't come and tell her.  What kind of words that can connect the world are used to attract him. All fools know that Li Er likes to listen to words that can connect the world.  In fact, anything related to heaven can successfully arouse Li Er's interest.

    "Connect the world! Connect the world! Well, you still have a heart of loyalty and respect. You know how to leave the bulk to me! Queen, just do it, the money of the inner palace is at your disposal. You will never lose money when doing business with the Yun family."

    "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty! I asked my brother, and he also said that this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people." Seeing that Li Er agreed, the eldest grandson moved his brother out.  If Li Er disagreed, she would never say that Changsun Wuji also knew about it.

    "When the Tang Dynasty Zhenguan and other barbarians surrendered, it's time to do something to benefit the country and the people and improve people's livelihood. In my world, the people are always rebelling. How can this happen!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
