Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 830
Su Cheng woke up in the morning feeling refreshed, just two words, comfortable.

After breakfast, Su Cheng went directly to the palace.

Because there was an early court today, and Su Cheng didn't slack off, but got up early and came to the palace.

The smile on Li Shimin's face was very bright, and he said with a smile: "Tomorrow is the harvest ceremony. I hope that all my lovers can go to watch the ceremony. This year is a bumper harvest of corn and white flowers!"

The atmosphere in the main hall was very warm, both civil servants and generals were very surprised and excited by this year's harvest of corn and white jasmine.

Because this means that both corn and white-flowered flowers can be widely planted on the land of Datang. Corn is a high-yield grain, and white-bottomed flowers can keep warm and can't shed fur. No matter which one is of great significance to Datang.

Su Cheng also knew that tomorrow was the harvest ceremony. To be honest, Su Cheng didn't take it to heart at all. Isn't it normal for corn and cotton to have a good harvest?

He even asked Qin Tianjian to choose an auspicious day to hold a harvest ceremony. Su Cheng felt that Li Er's narcissistic attributes were nothing.

In fact, not only Li Shimin, but even the officials felt that this harvest ceremony was necessary, because they all agreed that it was a major event that could be recorded in the annals of history.

There was a echo in the hall, and all the officials were very positive about the harvest ceremony, except Su Cheng.

Who would have thought that Su Cheng, the greatest hero, would have no interest in the Harvest Ceremony?
Li Shimin was very happy. At a small level, it was Su Cheng's credit, but at a high level, it was God rewarding him as an emperor!
But today's morning court is not only a good thing, Li Shimin said with a smile: "There is one more thing to discuss today, and that is the matter of going to sea. After Su Cheng returned to Chang'an, he gave a memorial."

While talking, Li Shimin raised the memorial by his hand, and said with a smile: "Su Cheng chose three places to set up a city shipping department, one is Haizhou, the other is Mingzhou, and the other is Guangzhou, and the meeting will be held today in the morning court." Discuss and settle this matter!"

In fact, the matter of going to sea has been hotly discussed for a year or two, and both the courtiers and the people have already known it well.

Therefore, although the establishment of the Shibo Department has not been finalized, the officials already knew that it was a certainty.

The only suspense is where to set up the Shibo Division.

Now Su Cheng's suggestion in the letter is Mingzhou, Haizhou and Guangzhou.

Everyone can understand Mingzhou and Haizhou. After all, one is in the north and the other is in the south of the Yangtze River. There is no doubt that these places are suitable for going to sea, and it happens because one is south and the other is north.

But why is there Guangzhou?

Guangzhou is in Lingnan!

Not to mention in such a remote place, and the imperial court still has insufficient control over Guangzhou.

While everyone was still reminiscing, Cheng Yaojin shouted: "This proposal is good! It's great! Mingzhou, Haizhou, Guangzhou, there is no more suitable place than these three places!"

If you want to ask Cheng Yaojin, where are these three places suitable?

Then he didn't know, anyway, since it was Su Cheng's memorial, it was over.

However, many courtiers questioned the establishment of the Shibo Department in Guangzhou, especially officials who were involved with aristocratic families.

Although Su Cheng and the Feng family reached a cooperation, they were still unwilling and wanted to stop it again in the court, although they also knew that the possibility of success was unlikely.

"Your Majesty, Guangzhou is located in a remote area with poor transportation and is very poor. How can we set up a shipping department in Guangzhou? I think this proposal is very inappropriate!"

Li Shimin knew that someone was questioning him, so he couldn't help but glance at Su Cheng, only to find that the old god Su Cheng was standing there at ease, as if he hadn't heard anyone's rebuttal, in a state of wandering.

Now that Li Shimin has been persuaded, Su Cheng is unwilling to take the lead. It's not because he is afraid of those officials who are involved with the family, but because he doesn't want to waste his words.

How could it be possible that Li Shimin, a generation of Mingjun, could not control this little scene?
Sure enough, the censor immediately jumped out to refute, and the whole hall suddenly became lively.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and quietly watched the back and forth arguments in the hall, with a smile on his face.

He pondered over the reasons Su Cheng said later, and the more he pondered, the more he felt that what Su Cheng said made sense.

Therefore, among the three places selected by Su Cheng, the other two can be changed, but Guangzhou cannot be changed.

Because this is not only related to whether the going to sea is smooth or not, but also whether Lingnan can return to his heart.

It is impossible for Su Cheng to say those words openly in the court.

After all, Lingnan is the territory of Tang Dynasty, the Feng family has no objection at all, and Feng Zhidai is in Chang'an.

If I said it in the court today, wouldn't it reach Feng Zhidai's ears tomorrow?

Li Shimin couldn't help sighing while listening to the debate in the court, look at these idiots, none of them have a point.

Only he and Su Cheng can be so far-sighted.

After all the courtiers in the court were exhausted from arguing, Li Shimin smiled and said: "The public says that the public is right and the woman says that the woman is reasonable, but I agree with Su Cheng's proposal! I think he chose this proposal." All three places are great!"

“Especially the best selection in Guangzhou City!”

All the ministers were a little shocked when they heard this. It is obvious that the selection of Guangzhou City is the most controversial, but why does His Majesty think that Guangzhou City is the best choice?
Li Shimin asked with a smile: "Su Cheng, why did you choose to set up a shipping department in Guangzhou?"

Su Cheng came out and said with a smile: "The minister chose to set up a city shipping department in Guangzhou based on the principle of seeking truth from facts!"

"I visited a lot of places on the way south. The harbor in Guangzhou City is really good and suitable for going to sea. Moreover, Guangzhou City is located at the southernmost point, which can radiate to the small countries in the southeast and fill the shortage of Mingzhou and Haizhou. Therefore, I proposed to set up in Guangzhou City. Shibo Division!"

Li Shimin smiled and said: "This proposal is good. Although I haven't conducted a field investigation, and I don't know how it is suitable for going to sea, I believe in Su Cheng's vision. Moreover, Lingnan is really too poor!"

"The people in Lingnan are also my people. The south of the Yangtze River is rich and prosperous, and the Central Plains now has corn and white flowers. The people in the Central Plains will also get rid of poverty. But what about Lingnan?"

"When I think that the people in Lingnan are still in poverty and hunger, my heart aches! I also hope that the establishment of a shipping department in Lingnan can bring changes to the people in Lingnan!"

As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Changsun Wuji immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty loves the people like a son, comparable to Yao and Shun, and is the blessing of all people!"
