Datang: at the Beginning, Eat Fruit

　　Two months ago, his father took his little sister to Chang'an, and a month ago, he reported his safety, and then wrote him a recipe for hot pot.

　　Then, the father and the younger sister were silent since then, and he did not know what happened to the father in Chang'an City.

　　"Brother Zheng, please." Sun Yong bowed to him.

　　Zheng Qi nodded, and the group returned to Chang'an after staying in the grassland for half a column of incense. .

Chapter 262

　　After returning from the grassland, Zheng Qi brought two friends to visit his brother's mansion in Chang'an City.

　　However, I didn't expect that the house was empty, with only a dozen servants, and I didn't see my brother and father.

　　After asking the housekeeper, I realized that my brother and his family went to Mingyu Island for vacation, and my father was among them.

　　According to the understanding, Zheng Qi understands the so-called Mingyu Island, which is a southern island with a warm climate and beautiful scenery.Like Chang'an, there is a door connecting to Luzhuang in Chang'an City.

　　Therefore, if you are in Chang'an, you can also play and live on islands that are tens of thousands of miles away.

　　Zheng Qi naturally wanted to see his father, so he asked the housekeeper to take them to Mingyu Island.

　　Although he is the governor of Yangzhou, because it is the Spring Festival holiday, there is basically nothing to do.

　　Outside Lu Zhuang, just like the two doors opened in Chang'an City, there are dozens of heavy soldiers guarding the door.

　　Thanks to the steward of Zheng Shuang's family to lead the way, otherwise the two of them would not have the qualifications to go to Mingyu 25 Island at all.

　　On the island, the pretty island style catches all their attention.

　　The three of them felt that they had lived in Yangzhou for more than ten years, and they didn't even realize that the island would be so beautiful when they lived in the area near the sea.

　　Silver sandy beach, blue sea, warm sea breeze, dreamy bubbles, like being in a dream.

　　"Haha, Qi'er, why did you come to Chang'an?"

　　At this moment, Zheng Baowen, who was wearing a pair of black pants, appeared in front of them carelessly.

　　The bold dress surprised Zheng Qi.

　　"Father, why are you dressed like this." How to say, Zheng Qi felt a little hot eyes, they wouldn't get used to wearing swimsuits so quickly.

　　"Hehe, you didn't understand anything when you first came here. It's a swimsuit that can be used by people to play in the water, and it has the effect of waterproofing. Look at the people around you, they are all officials of the Tang Dynasty, and they all wear swimsuits to go to the sea. What a lot of fun." Zheng Baowen said.

　　Zheng Qi glanced at it and found that all of them were shaking feet, and the big people in the Tang Dynasty would be shocked, such as Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, he was speechless.

　　"Where's my brother?" Zheng Qi searched carefully, but did not find Zheng Shuang.

　　"Look, the falcon flying in the sky is him." Zheng Baowen pointed to the falcon hovering in the sky and said.

　　"What, brother even has the ability to transform into a falcon?" Zheng Qi's eyes widened, obviously shocked.

　　Is the mighty eagle falcon really transformed by his brother? Isn't that the ability of today's concubines?

　　"Well, although the ability of the old man is not as good as that of Shuang'er, it is also very practical. He can easily dive into the sea for a few hundred meters to play, and it is very playable."

　　While speaking, Zheng Baowen's body changed for a while, turning into a huge old sea turtle, "Did you see it, what this old man got is the ability of the turtle fruit."

　　"Father, what's going on?"

　　"Hehe, that's the betrothal gift that my son-in-law gave us to the Zheng family. There are three fruits in total. One of them is a falcon, one tortoise, and one cheetah. Thanks to your reminder, I brought my little sister to Chang'an, little sister. I became the son-in-law's concubine very smoothly. So don't worry, the old man left you a cheetah fruit." Zheng Baowen said.

　　"Huh, God bless the Zheng family." Zheng Qi said excitedly.

　　He never thought that his sister would actually marry Lu Xiu and become Lu Xiu's concubine.

　　"Brother Zheng, you are too embarrassed. The Zheng family is married to the national teacher, so don't tell us about it." Sun Yong said dissatisfied.

　　"I didn't mean to have two people, I just found out. Dad, you haven't written to me for more than a month." Zheng Qi said helplessly.

　　"Cough, the old man is so comfortable living on Mingyu Island, so I forgot to write to you. By the way, why did you guys suddenly come to Chang'an?" Zheng Baowen asked.

　　Although the imperial court will take a month's holiday during the Spring Festival, it takes a month to travel from Chang'an, Yangzhou.

　　"Dad didn't know anything about Mingyu Island. A door was also opened between Yangzhou and Chang'an, so it was only one step from Yangzhou to Chang'an." Zheng Qi explained,

　　"It will be much more convenient to go home in this way." Zheng Baowen's eyes lit up.

　　"Yeah, when does Dad plan to go back to Yangzhou?" Zheng Qi asked.

　　"Don't worry, wait until the old man has had enough fun. In Yangzhou City's home, there is no fun on the island. You guys should stay and have a good time for a few days, I'm sure you don't want to go back." Zheng Baowen said complacently.

　　"Since I'm here, I will naturally have to visit the national teacher." Zhou Yuan said first.

　　Zheng Qi nodded. Although it was not the first time to visit Lu Xiu, he rejected Lu Xiu's chart last time, and even allowed pirates to hijack Lu Xiu's ship. He was very uneasy at the moment.

　　Although all the remaining pirates were silenced and would not have anything to do with the Zheng family, Lu Xiu's ability was beyond their imagination. .

Chapter 263

　　Thanks to Xiaoxiao's blessing, Zheng Qi and the three had a chance to visit Lu Xiu.

　　In the sea, he stood on a wooden board and rode the waves.

　　"Meet the national teacher."

　　When Lu Xiu returned to the beach, several people stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

　　"Are you Zheng Qi, the prefect of Yangzhou?" Lu Xiu vaguely had his impression.

　　"The national teacher remembers that I am here. I am deeply honored. This time I can easily come to Chang'an City from Yangzhou, thanks to the convenient door opened by the national teacher." Zheng Qi said.

　　"Oh? It turns out that the gate connecting Chang'an to Yangzhou has been opened." Lu Xiu said.

　　"Well, not only from Chang'an to Yangzhou, but also from Chang'an to Yinshan, they are also open. Now it's just the unfamiliar Lingnan." Li Er's voice came faintly.

　　"Join Your Majesty."

　　Li Er's swimsuit almost didn't make them recognize it.

　　"Husband, he is Xiaoxiao's second brother. He offended her husband in Yangzhou. I hope that this time I can make up for my mistakes. I hope that my husband will have a lot of knowledge and don't know him." Xiaoxiao whispered.

　　"can."

　　"Yes, I happened to bring a few friends for a day trip to Chang'an." Zheng Qi gave up the two behind him.

　　"At next week's house, Zhou Yuan."

　　"Sun Yong in the next Sun family."

　　The two clasped their hands together, and they were able to contact Lu Xiu at such a distance, and they could imagine how excited they were.

　　"Hmph, the big families in Jiangnan, what do you want to do when you contact Lu Xiaoyou?" Li Yuan frowned, obviously very unhappy that they contacted Lu Xiu.

　　The Zheng family took this to get involved with Lu Xiu, and Li Yuan was not very happy. He was obviously the first to discover Lu Xiaoyou's ability.

　　"The Great Tang family, especially today's five surnames and seven Wangs, is indeed very influential." Li Er said lightly.

　　What annoyed Li Er most was the imperial examination system, which was originally intended to attract underprivileged scholars to fill the Datang government system.

　　But even from the development of the imperial examinations, which had already begun in the Sui Dynasty, less than 10% of the people who were recruited were poor men.

　　"Your Majesty, I... I just want to see the national teacher for a while, and have no other intentions." The two were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

　　"You two are too surprised. Although the family is intertwined, there is nothing to worry about." Lu Xiudao.

　　"Son-in-law, you don't know, the scholars in the Tang Dynasty are all from aristocratic families, and their influence has grown and has become a behemoth that you can't measure." Li Er explained.

　　"I don't quite understand it, but I know a thing or two. The influence of the aristocratic family lies in two points. One is that they have occupied a large amount of real estate, and the assets and power accumulated over hundreds of years and decades. The second is that Datang will use the There are a lot of talents in the aristocratic family, that is what worries you the most." Lu Xiudao.

　　"Well, my son-in-law is right." Li Er nodded.

　　"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. If they don't know how to adapt, they will only weaken step by step. With the opening of maritime trade, Datang will develop a large amount of land. Coupled with high-yield crop seeds, Datang will never again. When there is a shortage of food, the aristocratic families guard their own tens of thousands of mu, hundreds of thousands of mu of land, what can they do. When the people can have enough to eat, they will naturally want their children to have the opportunity to study. A large number of talents will emerge." Lu Xiu said.

　　"Lu Xiaoyou is right, but only with your help, otherwise he is nothing." Li Yuan glanced at Li Er and said with a sneer.

　　"¨〃cough, for a year, it's true that I have troubled my son-in-law." Li Er laughed awkwardly.

　　If it wasn't for Lu Xiu's help, the Turks were easily dealt with, it would take several years to destroy the Turks with the power of the Tang Dynasty, so Li Er would not have started thinking about how to weaken the family so quickly.

　　"Son-in-law, is there really no way for our family to survive?" Zheng Baowen's face turned pale when he heard Lu Xiu's remarks.

　　He was convinced by Lu Xiu, and naturally believed in what Lu Xiu said.

　　"No, business may be a way out for you. The land in the world is so vast that you can't imagine it, and the wealth contained in it is also unimaginable."

　　"Think about (Li Hao) seeing that Chang'an City is connected to the other side of the sea tens of thousands of miles away. There is a lot of fertile land. The ground is full of silver and gold mines. To be able to get a little bit of it is more than you have accumulated in your lifetime."

　　"The influence may be greatly affected. But those who are good at operators will grow stronger than before, and of course they may be eliminated."

　　Chang'an connects with Yangzhou and the northern grasslands, which is just the beginning.

　　If the maritime trade fleet finds a large amount of land such as the American continent and the Australian continent, it can be connected with the fruit of the door, and the resources there will be developed in large quantities.

　　Not to mention feeding tens of millions of people today, even if it is a hundred times more, it can be easily fed. .

Chapter 264

　　When the various places begin to connect with Chang'an, it is believed that the area of ​​Chang'an City will be expanded dozens of times before it is enough, forming a huge city similar to the modern international first-line scale.

　　Moreover, Datang will be relatively convenient for the supervision of various places. After all, who dares to be presumptuous at the feet of the emperor.

　　The changes in Chang'an City made Li Er laugh from ear to ear. The placement of the two portals can earn [-] yuan a day.The most profitable is the money he gets from selling the grass field, which allows him to easily earn millions.

　　That was originally equivalent to the tax that Datang could collect in the past year. The treasury is currently abundant, and Li Er felt that his waist was much more rigid when he spoke.

　　There has always been the idea of ​​​​renovating the Daming Palace, Li Er asked Fang Xuanling and a few people to discuss.

　　But who wants to be rejected by Fang Xuanling, saying that it is better to wait until the treasury has accumulated a little more money and renovate the entire imperial city.

　　Fang Xuanling's suggestion was immediately recognized by Li Er.

　　The palace where he lives now is the one left over from the previous dynasty, and Li Er is naturally happy to change to a new palace, which is definitely larger and ten times more extravagant than the previous one!

　　It might not work before, but now, with the money-making means brought to him by his son-in-law, a mere palace is nothing.He had heard that his son-in-law was going to build a crystal palace on the seabed dozens of meters deep.

　　And when the whole world is connected to Chang'an, Chang'an's current imperial palace, the current Chang'an, is obviously too small.The wider the knowledge, the higher the horizons.
