Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 432 Chapter 443: Talent
Li Hao and Ma Zhou had a great time eating and drinking in the private room of Fumanlou. In fact, the food and wine were very ordinary, but for drinking, you have to find the right person and drink with the right person. Everything tastes good.

During the dinner, the two of them couldn't finish talking. After all, Li Hao had been away from Chang'an for too long. Even if he occasionally sent letters to Feige in Chang'an, he would simply summarize the political situation in a few sentences. Li Hao actually had many questions to ask, such as How is Li Zhi recently, whether Wei Zheng is in good health, whether Ma Zhou himself has been strictly controlling his diet according to his instructions, etc. These things cannot be said on a small note, but Ma Zhou can now describe them in detail. tell him.

They ate a meal for three full hours, and the two of them chatted for three full hours. They left after dark. Li Hao sent Zhu Ruihuan to escort Ma Zhou to the posthouse, and he took Chen Song and Situ with him. Feng found an inn to stay, and had nothing to say all night. Li Hao left Guangzhou early the next morning, and returned to seek refuge.

Back in Liuqiu, Li Hao sent Lu Yun to Gaozhou with carrier pigeons. As long as they were ready, they would release the carrier pigeons. After Liuqiu received the carrier pigeons, they would send a fleet to pick them up.

More than ten days later, Ma Zhou mobilized more than 200 sea-going ships, and all the victims were recruited. Sure enough, it exceeded the quota by as much as 15, a total of [-] people. Disaster victims are a big burden for them, and such things as burdens can still be thrown away.

Ma Zhouquan naturally turned a blind eye, while the officials of Lingnan Road were secretly happy. It can be said that everyone was happy. Although Ma Zhou prepared a lot of ships, it was impossible to transport all the victims away at once. These sea ships are not big, and each can only carry 200 people at most. There are 258 ships in total. It takes at least three trips to transport all the victims of the disaster. The first trip transported 4 people to Qiongnan. Haikou Port took them to Qiongzhou City and the newly built county which had already been prepared.

On the second trip, Ma Zhou went out to sea with the ship himself. Just two days after setting out, Li Hao and his fleet arrived. There were a total of 28 large Galen ships. When Ma Zhou saw these large ships, he was stunned.

Next, Ma Zhou, under the pretext that the sea was too stormy and needed to change the big boat, let all the victims of the disaster get on Li Hao's big boat. There were more than 5 people, and they filled Li Hao's big boat. When the victims' boats sailed to Liuqiu, it was still the old practice when they disembarked.

The disaster victims didn’t know that Liuqiu was here, and they thought that when they arrived in Qiongnan, it didn’t matter where they were. What they cared about was whether they could live a good life. The prosperous harbor and city of Liuqiu gave them confidence, of course. , The usual settling fee is also very encouraging.

There are more than 5 more people in Liuqiu, and now the population of Han Chinese in Liuqiu has reached [-], and the effect will be different immediately. Lu Yun no longer has to worry about not having enough workers for any construction site, and the wages of those indigenous workers are also reduced. Why, because there was a shortage of manpower in the past, and now we have so many Tang people working, do we still need you natives? Do.

For this phenomenon, the aborigines have no choice but to bear it with their noses. They are now accustomed to the life of the Tang people. If they are allowed to go back to live the life of the aboriginals, they will definitely not want it. This is the change from frugality to luxury. It is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality.

Liuqiu is developing, and Qiongnan is not far behind. Since being enlightened by Li Hao, Cui Peng is really handy in doing things and has become more and more confident. While helping the disaster victims settle down, he encourages them with preferential policies. Cultivating the fields, after this flood, he also paid more attention to water conservancy projects, and arranged all kinds of things in an orderly manner, and there was no need for Li Hao to teach him again. He was completely enlightened.

Li Hao is still living in Liuqiu, and Li Hao is very happy to see Liuqiu is thriving and developing.

At the time of Liuqiu and Qiongnan's catastrophe, Li Shimin had just arrived in Liaodong and began to conquer Goguryeo. Unexpectedly, less than a month after the start of the war, he received a letter from Chang'an saying that Qiongnan and Jiangnan were hit by severe floods. , The flood came at an inappropriate time, but it happened when he was on his own expedition. Thinking about the little food left in the treasury, Li Shimin really wanted to go back immediately, he was worried that Li Zhi would not be able to handle such a big event.

However, it is very unlucky for the army to go out and return without success, and it will seriously damage the national prestige of Datang. There were many cities and many prisoners were captured. Li Shimin felt that it was almost time to go back and look at the flood. Unexpectedly, another message came from Chang'an. This time it was good news.

Li Shimin was so happy that night that he stayed up all night. He was really happy. He didn't expect that the seemingly mediocre Li Zhi was unambiguous in handling state affairs. Such a big disaster was so easily put down. Employing people is very good. Ma Zhou is not only loyal, but also capable. He is a talent. If Li Shimin would have sent him to deal with disasters, as for the two people who built water conservancy projects, Li Shimin asked himself, even if he himself, he probably would not have thought of appointing those two people Unexpectedly, Li Zhihui had a good eye and sent these two people there, and the flood was quickly cured. To be an emperor, you don't have to be capable, but you must be able to employ people. Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are the best examples.

When thinking of Li Zhi, Li Shimin couldn't help but think of Li Hao again. He still remembered the last time he had a conversation with Li Hao. Li Shimin didn't believe the person who took over the throne at first, but now he has to admit that Li Zhi really looks more and more like a prince, and Li Hao has a good eye.

Although he admits that Li Hao has good vision and chose the right prince, he still has a hard time about Li Hao deceiving himself, because he is a proud Tian Khan, and he does not allow others to deceive him. In fact, the most important thing is that he I'm in love with Li Hao, don't get me wrong, Li Shimin's orientation is normal, the emotion here is love for talents, he is going to cultivate Li Hao as the pillar of the country, use it up for his son, use up his son for his grandson, Anyway, they wanted Li Hao to be the pillar of their old Li family, but Li Hao lied to him, which made him very hurt and heartbroken.

Apart from Li Hao, Li Shimin only remembers one person who lied to his feelings like this. It was decades ago. Li Yuan said that he would pass on the throne to him in the future. In the great Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan made Li Jian the crown prince. As a result, Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and forced Li Yuan to abdicate, taking the throne of the emperor himself.

Li Shimin is like this. He hates others to deceive him the most. The more he trusts a person, the less he can lie to him, because it will hurt his feelings, even his own father is no exception, let alone Li Hao. Therefore, no matter what the reason, Li Shimin this time They will never forgive Li Hao, a liar.

No longer worried about floods, Li Shimin ordered a massive attack, vowing to completely destroy the country of Goguryeo. He knew that this should be his last personal conquest, because he could feel that he was old and his health was failing, which is why he did this The reason why he insisted on the imperial conquest this time is that he must fight another beautiful victory before he dies, so as to bring his life to a successful conclusion.

It's a pity that things backfired. Although the Tang army won consecutive victories and captured many cities in Goguryeo, they also wiped out countless enemies and captured countless prisoners.

If it’s just like this, this is an act of courting death. However, the weather is not beautiful, and winter is coming. The winter in Liaodong is no joke. Even the northeast of the future world is very cold. In ancient times, Liaodong was even colder. It was terribly cold, almost the coldest place in the country at that time.

Li Shimin did not expect that this battle would last so long. There was not much food and grass left in the army. What was even more frightening was that the entire army did not bring cotton-padded clothes. Li Shimin had no choice but to retreat in the end. Frozen to death here.

Li Shimin was very depressed in his heart. He said that it was a battle to destroy the country, but he failed to destroy the country, but his depression could not be expressed. He had to publicize the achievements of this battle and not be criticized. .

Liaodong has already been snowing heavily, and the people in Qiongnan and Liuqiu are harvesting rice under the scorching sun. Li Hao invented a thermometer. The coldest time in Qiongnan is about ten degrees in winter, and it may be slightly lower in Liuqiu. Anyway, no matter how cold it is, the temperature during the day cannot drop below ten degrees. With such a temperature, is it unusual to cut rice in winter?

Li Hao also built a steel factory and a seaport in Qiongnan. The steel factory was built in the deep mountains, and the railroad tracks passed through the canyon, connecting the steel factory and the seaport. The newly built seaport was named Wolong Port, because this seaport is [-] miles east of Wolong Villa. This is his private seaport, where no foreign ships are allowed to dock.

Next to the harbor, Li Hao built another shipyard named Qiongnan Shipyard. The scale of this shipyard is relatively large. The first batch directly built eight seagoing ships. In addition to the ships built by Liuqiu Shipyard recently, Li Hao There are now 38 Galen ships.

The time is ripe. Li Hao feels that it is time to launch the first large-scale fleet trial. Li Hao began to plan the sailing route. Recently, carrier pigeons frequently fly in and out of Qiongnan Palace, conveying Li Hao's instructions. 35 ships The Galen ship set off from Liuqiu, first went to Quanzhou to purchase goods, then passed through Qiongnan, and docked at Wolong Harbor. Everyone landed and came to the palace to meet Li Hao.

This time, it was Lu Yun who was in charge of piloting and commanding. After all, it was the first time to go to sea on a large scale. After meeting Li Hao, Lu Yun said that he would recommend someone to Li Hao, and he highly respected this person. Li Hao It was the first time I saw Lu Yun praising someone so much, and I was immediately curious and decided to meet him. In the living room of King Joan'an's Mansion, a young man in his twenties walked in. It was the one named Wu Lei.

This Wu Lei was originally the son of a merchant family in Liuzhou. He liked reading since he was a child, but his father was a business fan and always wanted him to do business, so he was always brought with him when he went there. Unfortunately, his father is not good at business and has been doing it all his life. The business did not make much money. Later, during the flood, his parents died of illness, and he was the only one left. Later, he went to Liuqiu with Lu Yun.

After Wu Lei arrived in Liuqiu, he found out that the owner of Liuqiu Island is his idol, King Qiongnan, and Lu Yun is the commander-in-chief that people often say, so he went to see Lu Yun and asked him to introduce him. Meet Li Hao, because he admires Li Hao a lot.

However, Lu Yun refused. Such a small person wants to see Li Hao?Li Hao is the king of Qiongnan, he can see anyone, so Lu Yun gave him a problem, gave him a penny, and asked him to use this penny to earn enough money within three days.

He thought it would be difficult for Wu Lei, but he underestimated Wu Lei too much. Three days later, Wu Lei came to Lu Yun with the usual money and asked him to take him to see King Qiongnan. Lu Yun didn't believe that the money was from him. So I asked him about the details of how he made money. Wu Lei explained in detail how he made money. After listening to this, Lu Yun couldn't help but marvel. All Yun's questions were answered fluently. Lu Yun was even more shocked. He felt that Wu Lei was definitely a talent. As for what kind of talent he didn't know, he only knew that Wu Lei was too knowledgeable. Since he wanted to meet Li Hao , so he fulfilled him, and by the way, let Li Hao's discerning eyes appraise whether Wu Lei is a talent or not.
