This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 848 Volume Li Yin's Evil Plan

Li Chengqian didn't think that Li Er had any good intentions in bringing Li Yin to Yizhou.

You know, if Yizhou moves westward, it will be the Ming Dynasty.

He remembered that in history, the Battle of Songzhou broke out between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo on the border of Yizhou.

If I remember correctly, the general of the Tang Dynasty at that time was Hou Junji.

In this way, Li Er's intention of keeping Li Yin in Yizhou was very clear.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. The Secret Service has been keeping an eye on Yizhou. From the latest news, it seems that King Liang has not done anything out of the ordinary. Instead, he has devoted himself to the people's livelihood.

The local people have a good impression of this prince.

Just before, I heard from Sun Moon Mountain that King Liang was planning to allow Yizhou to trade with our Ming Dynasty. As for whether to blockade it or not, they said they could handle it. "

Hearing this, Li Chengqian frowned even deeper.

Yizhou cannot be said to be the place where the dragon was born, but Liu Bang openly built the plank road there and secretly passed through Chencang, and Liu Bei divided the world into three parts there.

I wouldn't say that place is blessed with outstanding people, but it does have the potential to compete for the world.

The key point is that that place has vast fields and strong folk customs.

The Sichuan Army would still be a respected existence in later generations.

"Don't underestimate him." After thinking for a while, Li Chengqian said, "Since he is willing to abandon his family, he must have some ulterior motive.

Also, don’t forget that when the Ming Dynasty was first established, it was with the help of the common people that we have been able to get to where we are today.

My brothers may be dissolute and absurd, but they are definitely not stupid.

In addition, the gentry are eyeing them covetously. Who dares to say that those guys from the gentry will definitely support Li Ke?

Everyone knows that you shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket! ”

In fact, at the beginning, Li Chengqian didn't take Li Yin seriously. After all, that guy's reputation was just like that.

But a series of changes also made Li Chengqian realize some problems.

Being in the royal family, one must either be ruthless and rise rapidly to the top, or play dumb and act like a fool, living a dissolute life, and seek a peaceful life.

It was him who thought too simply of his brothers at the beginning.

"I will arrange it right away." Seeing that Li Chengqian was serious, Wu An said nothing more.

On the other side, Yizhou.

Li Yin was indeed not idle.

Since taking office, he has been walking in the fields almost every day.

He didn't bring many guards with him and looked very friendly.

Either they ask about the harvest from the land, or they ask about the surplus food in the people's homes.

Sometimes, I can even sit down and chat with the uncles working in the fields for an entire afternoon.

This also enabled him to gain a good reputation among the people in a short period of time.

After all, which prince is so close to the people?
The highest official they had seen before was probably the county magistrate, but how could he not look like he was in a superior position?

Only with the contrast can the friendliness of their prince be more apparent.

"Yizhou is a good place." As soon as he left the city, Li Yin said to Li Yifu beside him, "The Prime Minister chose such a precious place for Liu Huangshu, but unfortunately, he was too old and finally died on the way to the Northern Expedition.

If the Prime Minister is given another ten years, the world will definitely be different."

On the side, Li Yifu heard this and sighed, "Yes, the failure of the Northern Expedition is not the Prime Minister's fault..."

This guy now follows Li Yin wholeheartedly.

It’s not that this guy can’t see the current situation clearly, but he understands that input and return are proportional.

There is no way. Although Li Chengqian is powerful now, there is no place for him in the Ming Dynasty.

On the other hand, although the current situation of Li Yin is a bit bad, he still has great potential.

If he could reach the level of Li Chengqian, wouldn't he be more powerful than the people like Pushino in the Ming Dynasty? No longer talking about the prime minister, Li Yin suddenly asked: "We are new here, what do you think we should do to do something practical for the people?"

Li Yifu had really thought about this question seriously. When he heard Li Yin ask this question, he pretended to think for a while before saying, "Your Highness, although Yizhou is still considered rich, the lives of the people are not as good as those in Chang'an.

For ordinary people, what they care about most are the seven daily necessities of life: firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

However, this problem does not exist in Yizhou.

I have also learned something in the past few days. Overall, the cost of living in Yizhou is not high.

As long as the people are willing to work hard, there will be some surplus food every year.

At this time, what people need more is something on the spiritual level.

I have heard that many schools have been opened in Yizhou. Although the tuition fees are not high, they are still unaffordable for ordinary people.

Your Highness, why don't you do something about this?

No matter how many generations a family has been farming in the countryside, they always hope to have a scholar in their family.

At that time, His Highness can even announce to the outside world that the royal palace can recruit some of these people in the future.

By the time……"

He knew what Li Yan wanted to do, so he really considered Li Yan seriously.

"That's feasible." Li Yin also nodded and said, "Because of my brother, books are cheaper now. It won't cost much to build a few schools in Yizhou."

He was very satisfied with Li Yifu's proposal.

Although it's all about winning people's hearts, there are ways and methods to win people's hearts.

Give those ordinary people a chance to change the fate of their family, and they will really be willing to worship you like a god.

“In addition to schools, we need to provide the people with more means of making a living.

Although almost every household in Yizhou has surplus food, who would complain about having too much surplus food?
And you just missed a little bit.

The so-called firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are just one of the necessities of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

To truly live your life, you can't just settle for being alive.

That is the way of discussing things. Nowadays, everyone is touting the prosperous times, but if people in a prosperous time are still just living in a makeshift way, then what kind of prosperous times are they?

As a prince of the Tang Dynasty, I also want to share my father's worries."

Li Yin thought much more than Li Yifu.

Moreover, governing Yizhou well is very important to him.

Firstly, he will have the capital to fight against Li Chengqian in the future, and secondly, he also needs to make some achievements to gain the support of those people.

Who can't talk big?

But those people are all shrewd people, and they won't release the eagle until they see the rabbit.

"But it's probably not that easy to develop the economy in a short period of time..." Li Yifu shook his head. It's not that he hadn't thought about this, but economic development is not that easy.

The reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to emerge as a rising star was that it mastered many technologies that others did not have.

After all, it was those technologies that monopolized the market and created the Ming Dynasty's abnormal prosperity.

"It's not that simple." Li Yin nodded and said with a smile, "So, didn't I send people to Sun Moon Mountain? If my brother can help us, then the time we have been waiting for will come, right?"

"But will the Ming Dynasty help us?" Li Yifu was a little puzzled.

Li Yan smiled upon hearing this and said, "Then you know that I am only the king of the Tang Dynasty, not the king of the Ming Dynasty.

But my royal brother loves the people like his own children, so I'm sure he won't refuse, right?
By the way, when you have time, you should also spread the word and tell everyone that the Ming Dynasty is going to trade with Yizhou.

This good news, of course, must be shared with everyone.”

Li Yifu was stunned, and he suddenly understood what Li Yin meant.

So insidious!
