Cough!

Far away, I have never seen any uncle take his brother-in-law to whoring.

"Okay, Changle, brother Chong is also going out to do business for the country, it's normal to be busy, and he's not in the Central Plains now, you have to learn to be more magnanimous!"

"I see, big brother!"

Chang Le still looked sullen, after all, who would dare to bully him since he was a child?
Whoever dared to bully him, how could anyone survive till now.

"Jiangnan!"

After crossing the Yangtze River, Li Shimin also got out of the carriage and began to ride his horse for a walk.

"The last time I came to Jiangnan was when I was young, in Yangzhou, and met the then Emperor Yang Guang!"

"Many years have passed in a flash, and I have already abdicated!"

"Thinking back in those days, Yang Guang was full of vigor, flattened Nan Chen, built canals, pressed the grasslands, and was invincible in martial arts and martial arts. It's a pity..."

Li Shimin fell into deep thought. Back then, he met Yang Guang in Jiangdu, that is, Yangzhou. He was named King of Qin by Yang Guang, and Li Yuanba was named King of Zhao.

It was also here that Li Yuanba and Yuwen Chengdu competed for the throne of the world's number one general.

It was here that he met Concubine Yang.

"The rocks pierced through the sky, the stormy waves crashed on the shore, counting the romantic figures, just look at the present!"

Li Wenhao stood at the junction of the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal, looking at the majestic and majestic city of Yangzhou, he was moved with emotion.

Snapped!
"You boy, how shameless!"

Li Shimin said this on his lips, but he agreed with Li Wenhao's words in his heart.

"Let's go! Go to town."

"Tomorrow, Da Lang will follow me to mourn my father-in-law!"

"Yes!"

At this time, the Jiangdu Palace has been completely renewed by the people. Although there are no major changes, it does exude vitality everywhere, and it is no longer as lifeless as it was back then.

"Hey! It's a pity that Yang Guang was hanged and killed here by Linghu Xingda back then. Before I came here, I had someone clean up the place again."

Li Wenhao pointed to a place that had turned into a rockery at this time and said.

"Hey!"

"Back in the day, the dog thief Yu Wenhuaji wanted to put us to death. It was here that we were intercepted and killed on the way to Taiyuan!"

"Hey!"

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, my father-in-law, if you are alive in the sky, you must be able to rest in peace. My son, you have done everything you want to do, what you don't want to do, what you dare to do, what you dare not do."

After Concubine Yang returned to Jiangdu Palace, her expression was obviously very depressed. After all, she grew up here since she was a child.

Moreover, thanks to Li Shimin and Li Wenhao, in the Jiangdu Palace, there are still some memorial tablets of their old Yang family, such as Yang Jian, Yang Guang, and Concubine Yang's elder brother, Yang Zhao, younger brother Yang Gao and others.

Concubine Yang respectfully burned a stick of incense, then quietly knelt and sat in front of the memorial tablet.

"Your Majesty, tomorrow morning, the officials in the south of the Yangtze River will be holy here in the future!"

"Oh, I see!"

"Give me all the topographic maps of Jiangnan. Tomorrow, I will ask them to do a problem for me!"

"Yes!"

Lu Wenzhao took the order to retreat.

The next day, Li Wenhao received Jiangnan officials in the former Jiangdu Palace.

Except for Han Xin who needed to deal with the military affairs in the south, all the remaining state and county officials were present.

Seeing the scrolls stacked under the dragon case, everyone was puzzled.

"Everyone, I ask you!"

"If it's in Fanyang, how long will it take to come to Jiangdu?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, take the Grand Canal waterway, and you can get there in five days at the earliest."

Yangzhou Taishou replied.

"Then what if you want to go to Bashu in Jiangdu?"

"How about going to Lingnan?"

"How about going to Jiannan Road?"

"This……"

Facing Li Wenhao's question, everyone fell into deep thought.

"Your Majesty, if you go up the Yangtze River upstream, it may take at least fifteen days to reach Bashu. As for Lingnan Road and Jiannan Road, it depends on God's will."

"God willing?"

"Then if my Tang Dynasty is now engaged in a war in Lingnan and urgently needs supplies to be transported there, will you also depend on God's will?"

"This……"

A group of people lowered their heads, pondering the intention of Li Wenhao's move in their minds.

"Everyone, this is the topographical map of the south of the Yangtze River!"

"Take it and read it each."

The courtiers, according to their ranks, each received a map of their place of inauguration. The mountains, rivers and rivers on it, and even whether the fields were planted with rice or wheat, were all clear.

"Everyone, this is the role that the railway has played in the development of people's livelihood after the opening of the railway this year. Take a look again!"

Booklets were handed out one after another. When they heard the word railway, some of the following ministers obviously resisted.

The officials in the south are different from those in the north. There are many poor families in the north, but the prosperity in the south of the Yangtze River has existed since ancient times. Every family reads books and every household learns Chinese. Therefore, they have a very strong sense of family when it comes to land. This is not what the Guanlong military group used to do. A kind of family consciousness, to be precise, this should be an inherent land consciousness.

"Everyone, is there something wrong with this map?"

"No mistake, Your Majesty!"

The leading Jiangnan official said.

"That's not wrong, can a railway line be revised in it?"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this will require occupying some fields and relocating some villages"

The long history of Jiangnan Road said.

"Relocation is inevitable. For the construction of the Tang Dynasty, someone must sacrifice something, and the court will give them equal compensation."

"But, Your Majesty, the people in the south of the Yangtze River have a sense of defending the soil..."

"You have to understand one thing first!"

Li Wenhao's tone suddenly became serious.

"There is a country first, and then a family. It is under the protection of my Tang Dynasty that the people can have a stable life now. The country gives the people a stable life, and the people also have to pay for the country!"

"This is the relationship between nurturing and nurturing back. It cannot be changed and cannot be changed!"

"Everyone, since I mentioned it today, I won't take it back. Go back and prepare!"

"Next year at the latest, the prospectors from Fan Yang Academy will go to the south of the Yangtze River to explore the geological structure."

"It's Your Majesty!"

After retiring from the court, Li Wenhao and Li Shimin left Yangzhou and went straight to the place where Yang Guang was buried.

"Da Lang, what you are doing now is very dangerous!"

"It's very easy to let the fertile soil in the south of the Yangtze River escape from my Tang's control!"

"I know, but if I make it, Jiangnan will become an inseparable part of my Tang Dynasty just like Jiangbei, Central Plains, and Guanzhong."

"The natural moat of the Yangtze River has made Jiangnan a place where there is nothing to contend with, but at the same time, it has also cultivated the common people's consciousness of the people here. They don't understand the benefits of railways at all."

"I have asked Han Xin to bring the army back to Jiangnan."

"Cheng Yaojin will soon go south to carry out pilot work!"

Li Wenhao said firmly.

"You're good to know!"

"Old man Yang Guang, have you seen it?"

"Look at our son, which achievement is not better than yours?"

"But who in the world dares to object?"

"You, Yang Guang, compare yourself to an emperor through the ages, so what about my son?"

Li Shimin talked for a long time as if showing off. Speaking of it, there are not many people in this world who are worthy of him to show off, and not many people have died.

On the other hand, after all the officials in the south of the Yangtze River left, there was a question in their minds, what should they do?
Almost everyone has their own families and villages behind them, and they are reluctant to let them move, but they seem to have forgotten that when Li Wenhao first went to the south of the Yangtze River, he caused a lot of heads.
