Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 497 Let Feng Clan Reclaim the South

After confirming the identity of Zhancheng Rice, Li Zhiyun will naturally reward him for his merits.

The number one hero is naturally Feng Zhidai.

"Feng Qing."

Hearing the prince's call, Feng Zhidai hurriedly stepped out from the crowd, and bowed down.

"The minister is here."

"This thing can appear in the Tang Dynasty, you have contributed a lot. Whatever you want, as long as you can do it, you will be satisfied."

Although His Royal Highness opened his mouth to make a wish, Feng Zhidai was very smart and would not open his mouth to ask for this or that.

As a courtier, you must know something.

"I am very happy to be able to do something for my court, and I really dare not take credit for it."

Li Zhiyun chuckled, and said to the ministers: "Did you see, Geng Guogong is good at governing the family."

Pei Ju echoed, "It's all thanks to Your Highness's blessing."

When everyone heard this, they cast contemptuous glances at Pei Ju.This compliment is really disgusting.

"That's right, Prime Minister Pei said it very well. Without His Highness's kindness, how could the son of Duke Geng offer food? This is God Blessing the Great Tang, God Blessing His Highness." One person continued to speak.

Then, all the ministers praised Li Zhiyun for his virtue.As for the greatest hero, Feng Zhidai was pushed aside.

Feng Zhidai:? ? ?

Isn't that right, my credit is gone?

Fortunately, Li Zhiyun did not forget him.After dealing with the officials, Li Zhiyun summoned Feng Zhidai privately while having lunch.

"Feng Qing, Gu has always been rewarded for meritorious deeds, and you will not turn a blind eye to the great achievements you have made this time."

Hearing this, Feng Zhidai was moved in his heart, after all, the crown prince is enough.

At this time, Li Zhen walked up to Feng Zhidai and gave him a jade token.

Feng Zhidai didn't quite understand, and asked in confusion: "Your Highness, what is this?"

No way, the majestic prince of the Tang Dynasty, just give me a piece of worthless jade pendant?
Li Zhiyun said hehe: "Does Feng Qing know Tang Xiang?"

Feng Zhidai's eyes lit up, and he said: "Your servant knows, this thing is an indispensable thing for cleansing and bathing!"

He fell in love with Tang Xiang as soon as he came to Chang'an, and fell in love with this magical soap.There's no way, that damn place in Lingnan is so hot, there are so many mosquitoes, and my body stinks all the year round.He bought soap once in Chang'an, took a bath to remove the oil, and fell in love with this thing ever since.

"The jade card in your hand is the proof of getting Tangxiang. With this item, you can get goods from Tangxiang Workshop and sell them in the Lingnan states. Remember, you and your family can only sell in the Lingnan area. It is against the law to smuggle this thing." Li Zhiyun put down the bowl and chopsticks and reminded him lightly.

Hearing this, Feng Zhidai was overjoyed.

This is the crown prince giving him money!
He almost cried with excitement.

You know, let alone comparing the Lingnan states with Chang'an, even comparing them with the big cities in Jingzhou and other places, that is the difference between clouds and mud.

Therefore, Lingnan is very poor now, so poor that there are not a few literate Han people, all of them are cave savages.

Feng Zhidai, who grew up in Lingnan since he was a child, felt more and more like a country bumpkin after seeing the prosperity of Chang'an.He even felt that it was useless for his lord to guard that one-third of an acre of land.It's so hot in my hometown, there are not many people, and there are not many delicious foods.It's better to simply go to Beijing to enjoy the blessings.

How can the Lingnan states have the beautiful scenery of Chang'an, the moon is round, and the girls are graceful.

Although he has the brand of proton on his body, this does not prevent him from liking to live in Chang'an.

But Chang'an's consumption is not low.

Usually, a visit to Pingkangfang would cost him half a month's savings.

Now that we have the opportunity to specialize in Tangxiang in Lingnan, the income in the future will not be enough.
So beautiful.

The beauty made him get carried away.

It was Li Zhiyun who couldn't help coughing, interrupting Feng Zhidai's beautiful fantasy.

"Your minister is in disgrace, please forgive me, the prince."

"It's okay."

Feng Zhidai said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I know the seriousness, and I will definitely not break the law."

Li Zhiyun nodded, and then said: "I know that the people in the south of the Five Ridges are poor, so let's do this, you can buy Tang Xiang, and you can exchange it with sugar cane of equivalent value."

At this time, the word 'sugar cane' already appeared in "Qi Min Yao Shu".

Feng Zhidai was stunned.

Li Zhiyun asked: "What's the matter, do you think it's wrong?"

"No, no." Feng Zhidai couldn't help but said with tears: "His Highness is sympathetic to the people of Lingnan, and I am very grateful!"

He bowed heavily.

This is the real prince, this is the benevolent king!

In this world, the prince really deserves to sit down.

Feng Zhidai really did not expect that the crown prince would treat him and the people of Lingnan so kindly.

Sugar cane, that stuff dogs don't eat!

What kind of heart and generosity the prince asked him to exchange sugar cane for Tang Xiang!
Therefore, he couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, the sugar cane is really worthless, and it is not worthy of being exchanged for Tang Xiang."

He felt a little embarrassed instead.

There is no way, the sugar cane thing is basically eaten by savages in Lingnan.Even in Chang'an, there are not many people who like to eat this stuff.

It's a bitch!

Li Zhiyun likes Feng Zhidai's sensibleness very much, but he has his own plans.

Sugar cane is of course worthless, but using this thing to make white sugar is worth a lot!
Where does sugarcane grow in Datang?

There is no need to ask, it must be the south, Lingnan area.

From the beginning to the end, Li Zhiyun never thought about planting sugarcane on a large scale. The reason is very simple. The south has not yet been developed, and the food depends entirely on the land in the north.His brain is broken, so he will not grow food and plant sugar cane.

Besides, the climatic conditions in the northern land are not suitable for large-scale planting of sugarcane.

But he wanted to make money with sugar cane.

What to do about this?

Then I can only trouble the big barbarians in Lingnan to work hard and open up wasteland to plant sugar cane in advance.

He believed that with Feng An around, as long as he could benefit from Tang Xiang, he would definitely help Li Zhiyun urge the southern barbarians to develop the southern land.

Let them plant sugar cane now, and after more than ten years, Li Zhiyun will let them plant food instead.

perfect!

"Ahem." Li Zhiyun said kindly: "Feng Qing, don't you understand, what I value is not those sugar canes, but your Feng family, and your father's loyalty."

Feng Zhidai understood.

His Royal Highness, this is trying to win over his father, asking him to be a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty.

But he is not only not disgusted, but very happy.

It is a blessing to have such a kind and kind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely convey your words to my father verbatim. Here, on behalf of my father, I assure Your Highness that the Lingnan states are the indivisible sacred land of the Tang Dynasty. , swear allegiance to His Highness to the death."

Li Zhiyun rolled his eyes secretly, do you want to guarantee this?

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't make a move now, Li Zhiyun would definitely make a move in Lingnan.

"It's good that you understand, let's go."

Feng Zhidai bowed again, "Young minister will leave."

With excitement, Feng Zhidai carefully held the jade pendant and left.

Li Zhen couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, the Feng family is deeply rooted in Lingnan, do you really want to treat them so kindly?"

In fact, regarding the Lingnan states, the idea of ​​the court officials is to collect power.That is, the Feng family was moved to Chang'an, and officials were sent to naturalize the local people.

But the problem is, who the hell wants to suffer in that ghostly place!
Therefore, most people like to talk about it, and few people are really willing to go to Lingnan.More importantly, the courtiers actually regarded Lingnan as a place of exile.

Therefore, everyone felt that it was inappropriate for Feng An to continue to sit in Lingnan, but no one was willing to volunteer to replace Feng An.

Of course, this is also related to the current strategy of the court.

Before killing the Turks, other things can be slowed down first.

As long as Feng Ang is obedient, everything is easy to talk about.

Li Zhiyun said indifferently: "Gu gave them a chance, now it depends on whether Feng An is willing to seize the opportunity."

This is a signal from Li Zhiyun to Feng An.

Hang out with buddies, you have meat to eat.

If you don't hang out with your buddies, you will be killed sooner or later.

As for how Feng An would force the barbarians to open up wasteland to plant sugar cane, and how to exploit those ignorant savages.

Li Zhiyun didn't know, and he didn't want to know.

Anyway, the exploiter is Feng An, not Li Zhiyun.In the history books, Feng An was also the one who was blamed, and it had nothing to do with Li Zhiyun.

When the south has reclaimed a lot of fields for planting sugarcane, at that time, Datang should be able to take care of the south.
