Imperial study room.

The wind blows from the open palace gate and passes through the gauze. Every once in a while, the palace servants will change into wet gauze soaked in water. In this way, the wind blows from outside, and the heat will remain outside, and the cool breeze blows in.

The emperor covered his body with a simple gauze robe and sat on the bamboo couch.

Two young palace ladies were fanning one after another.

Li Shimin looked around the prime ministers in the hall.

"My dear friends, I have an important matter today." The emperor shook his sleeves, swung his hand, opened the folding fan, and then fanned himself. The sun was scorching outside, and this season was extremely hot.

Even in this tall palace, it is still very hot. Even if there is ice in the palace, water sprinkled on the ground, and there are palace servants fanning it, there seems to be fire in their bodies.

He picked up the iced sour plum soup in front of him and took a sip and put it down.

I felt a coldness penetrated into my abdomen, and finally it was a little better.

"The Lingnan victory is now the court is preparing to implement the first step of reforming the land and returning to the land. This matter is under the responsibility of the Grand Tutor Li Quanquan. I am going to send the Prince Chengqian to serve as my governor of Lingnan to condolences to the general and local liya."

"The prince governor Lingnan?" Fang Xuanling was surprised.

Changsun Wuji even directly opposed it, "The prince is only ten years old and has not yet won the championship. Lingnan has a long road and is extremely angry. How can the prince go far?"

"The prince is ten years old this year, not young. I think when I was at his age, I followed the old emperor everywhere. Guanzhong, Henan and Hedong, there was nowhere to be visited. The prince is indeed the crown prince of the country, but the more he is like this, the more he needs to exercise. Staying in this deep palace every day without contacting the outside world, if such a prince grows up, it will be difficult for him to understand the sufferings of the world and the various aspects of life. Even his people don't understand his world, so how can he let him rule the world?"

"Besides, there is Li in Lingnan, and the prince will not delay his studies even if he goes there. It is not bad to ask him to go to Lingnan on behalf of me and the court, to govern the local area and to comfort the people."

The emperor's attitude was beyond the expectations of the ministers, but what he said was reasonable. The prince did have a noble status, but if he had always been in this deep palace, it would be unfavorable.

But what everyone still couldn't accept was that the first time the prince went on a patrol was so far away in Lingnan.

"Chengqian also wants to go to Lingnan. I am very happy that he has such ambitions, which is not inferior to me when I was younger, and is worthy of being my eldest son. It is a good thing for young people to have such ambitions, and I cannot stop him."

Li Shimin elected two generals to be responsible for the safety of the prince and dispatched 10,000 troops to follow the prince south.

"Li Junxian, Wu Heita!"

The two powerful generals were loyal and capable. Most of the ten thousand soldiers would stay in Lingnan and would become Lingnan's palace soldiers from then on.

As for the prince when he comes back, he will naturally send someone to help him.

The matter was decided soon, and the emperor asked the troops to prepare for the prince's patrol. Not only did he need to transfer 10,000 troops to escort south, but he also had to send orders to the local area early to prepare for the reception.

In addition, the prince relied on his car and his subordinates.

In addition, the Ministry of Personnel will also select a large number of officials and officials to go to Lingnan with the prince, and a group of military officers will also select a group of military officers and non-commissioned officers to go to the martial arts lecture hall.

The imperial court wanted to control Lingnan and suppress the rebellion, which was only the first step.

Then we have to select officials from the south to select officials to control the prefectures and counties in Lingnan. We will first control the Han people and the mature ones, and then the Li Liaoshen in the mountains.

Li Shimin and the prime ministers agreed with the Lingnan peace strategy submitted by Li.

Li proposed to merge prefectures and counties, and transformed the past 100 prefectures and hundreds of counties into 23 prefectures and 95 counties in Guangdong and Guangxi. Li Shimin also approved and approved, and the officials he selected were also approved.

As things were going step by step, Li still retained the positions of Feng Ang and others, and Li Shimin didn't think about eliminating all these people in one step now.

Can the young prince be a real governor when he goes to Lingnan?

Li Shimin didn't think so much about it. The prince is not young anymore and is a little tired of the life of the palace day after day. In addition, the palace change last year also caused a lot of harm to the prince. Now he wants to go out of the palace and go to Li's place, but Li Shimin agrees.

Just think of the prince as going out to relax.

When I returned to the inner court at night, the queen was reluctant to leave.

"From childhood to adulthood, this child has never left me so far, but now he has to go to the distant Lingnan all at once. I am really worried!"

"The eagle always spreads its wings. This time, it's just that he's flapping and learning. Besides, Sanniang will go south, and Sanniang will take care of him. When he arrives in Lingnan, there is Li. You also know that Chengqian is not close to us. He and Li are really not separated from each other. The master and apprentice are so relaxed together. Last year, the prince became much more dull, and even his temperament has changed a lot. Have you noticed? If this continues, I am very worried. This time I let him go to Lingnan, and relax. If I stay with Li for a while, my temperament will be restored."

"To be honest, we are not as good as Li Wenyuan in this regard."

Eastern Palace.

Chengqian had already obtained the consent of the emperor and the queen, and no one in the court had objected. There was no obstacle to going to Lingnan. This time he would also be given the title of acting governor of Lingnan, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers guarding him and a large number of officials.

The days to leave Beijing have not yet been decided, but Chengqian is so excited that he can't sit still.

He began to write letters to Li and told him the good news.

Lingnan, Guangxi.

In Qinzhou Bay, the new Qinzhou Port City has begun construction.

There are excellent harbors and natural deep-water ports next to the selected city site, which are most suitable for ships to enter and exit. The port city planning was designed by Li himself and divided into port terminal area, customs and warehouse area, as well as market workshop area, commercial residential area, and official school area.

There is an inner city in the center of the city. The inner city is actually a military fort, which is specially used for military garrisons. In addition, along the harbor, various suburban towns and guardhouses are also set up.

The plan is very large.

However, Li didn't plan to get it all in one go. He first built the inner city military fortress, and at the same time, the port city and Yacheng were built together, commercial residential areas, warehouses, and workshops, which can be added slowly later.

The people who built the city were Han people from Qinzhou and Li Liao from nearby areas.

Li did not enlist for free, but offered a good price, paid for it, and it was paid every day.

There are food to come to work, both men, women, young and old, here, but the more skilled you are, the higher your wages, even if you are ordinary people, the greater your strength, the higher your wages.

Different people get different work points, and each work point is worth the same money.

Li kept his word and finished his work here and he had money that day.

Every day, merchant ships come in and out, transporting grain, evacuation, fish, etc. from Guangzhou, Jiaozhou and the surrounding areas. Even building materials such as bricks, tiles, limes, and cement are transported from those two major ports.

Qinzhou Port City is quite large, and Li did not charge fees from the local area, but signed a cooperation agreement with Nanyang Company and Liji Money House, which was borrowed by Liji and undertaken by Nanyang Company.

Li said, these two major consortiums immediately cooperated with each other.

The merger of prefectures and counties between Guangdong and Guangxi is still underway, which is relatively smooth.

The Chen family did not suffer any losses during this merger and withdrawal. On the contrary, they expanded their territory and of course fully supported them. The Ning family suffered the greatest losses in the rebellion and their strength was much weakened. Therefore, Li moved them to the barbarian land, and they could do nothing.

The Feng family is still strong, but they are powerless if they want to resist alone.
