Chapter 915: Why not go back? Long wish to flow south (4)
Seeing Li Shimin coming in, Cui Shang and others instantly put away their emotions and showed a look of indifference.
For Li Shimin, among the heads of several family members, except Wei Ruyi, they did not catch a cold.
When Xi Yunfei was able to walk with them, it was somewhat of a similar stinking meaning.
A look of embarrassment appeared on Li Shimin's face. He knew he was not popular, but for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, he could put a hot face on his cold butt. When Cui Shang and others were talking just now, the voice was so loud that he couldn't hear it.
Although Silla and Baekje are not as good as Goguryeo, as long as they have the opportunity to destroy them, Li Shimin will definitely agree with them. How can he allow others to sleep peacefully beside the bed? If so, he would not mind that even the Japanese would be destroyed.
However, strength does not allow it.
He glanced at Xi Yunfei in disappointment, and Li Shimin said with a smile: "You guys have just talked about it, I accidentally heard it. Haha, if you don't have enough staff, I can help you."
When Cui Shang heard this, he snorted coldly, and wrapped his hands around his chest and refused to look at Li Shimin.
Wang Shou glanced at Xi Yunfei, and saw that he had no intention of speaking, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty thinks it's a misunderstanding. We are discussing the shipping matter. As for what Silla Baekje is, it's just a joke and cannot be taken seriously."
Seeing this, Lu Huan and Wei Ruyi looked at each other, and both looked down and refused to look at Li Shimin, especially Wei Ruyi. On one hand, he was the one who took him to fly, and on the other hand, his son-in-law. It was a bit difficult to be a human being when he was stuck in the middle.
Changsun Wuji looked moved and said with a smile: "We heard the feelings wrongly. Your Majesty, do you think so?"
"...This, hehe, hehe..." Li Shimin had no choice but to take a step back.
Xi Yunfei came here and came forward, pulled Cui Shang's arm, and said, "Everyone, let's continue the topic just now. The Water Transportation Department is of great significance. I won't go into details here. Your Majesty is here. It's just that the court is here to make many things easier to open up. Everyone talks about their ideas and lets His Majesty listen to them."
Li Shimin was originally looking for the so-called "Water Transport Department". Seeing that Xi Yunfei did not avoid him, he felt a little better. He nodded and promised: "Please say, if you can do it, I will do my best."
Changsun Wuji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, walked up to stand beside Wei Ruyi, looked at the map on the table, his eyes fell on the southernmost Yazhou, and asked curiously: "This Yazhou has always been a bitter and cold place. Should you even build a harbor here?"
When Li Shimin heard this, he came over curiously. Wei Ruyi took the initiative to give up his position and squeezed to Cui Shang's side, which made Cui Shang look unhappy again.
When Xi Yunfei heard Changsun Wuji's doubts, he responded with a smile: "Kid Changsun probably doesn't know that the rubber raw materials used to produce wires can be widely planted in Yazhou. Moreover, this kind of rubber tree can also produce many interesting things, such as electric car tires, some building materials, etc.."
Li Shimin nodded with interest: "I didn't expect that there are such magical plants in the world. In this way, this Yazhou is also a good place!"
Xi Yunfei smiled and said, "Not only that, because of its geographical location and unique climate, Yazhou can also grow a lot of tropical fruits and vegetables. Does Your Majesty still remember the pineapple that you ate in Shuofang before?"
"Of course I remember that the sour and sweet yellow flesh, although the outer skin is a bit strange, the taste is really good. Erlang means that this pineapple is produced in Yazhou?"
"That's right, just like Lingnan produces a lot of lychees, Yazhou also has its own unique fruit resources. If it is operated properly, it is also a considerable asset. In addition to eating fruits directly, it can also be made into dried fruits and juices, and transported to all parts of the country through the water transportation department. This can not only solve the income problems of the people in Yazhou, but also improve the living standards of the people."
Li Shimin nodded constantly and said, "It's not bad, Erlang's idea is indeed different. First, it's seafood, and then this tropical fruit. In addition to eating enough, the people of the Tang Dynasty also have to eat well, hahaha!"
Xi Yunfei nodded slightly, pointed to the harbor layout map on the map, and said, "So, this water transportation department is of great significance. In this gap that the Railway Department has not yet been established, it is a huge bridge for us to communicate with the north and south."
When Cui Shang and others heard this, they nodded with approval. Although they were dissatisfied with Li Shimin's thrust, as Xi Yunfei said, there are some things that the court has more effective than the aristocratic families. After all, no matter how strong the aristocratic families are, they cannot control the Jiangnan territory.
The court was different. In the seventh year of Wude, Li Xiaogong and Li Jing destroyed the Fu Gongyuan forces entrenched in Jiangnan. At this time, the Jiangnan territory was still in a state of fear of talking about the Li court. At the same time, there was also the governor of Yangzhou and the Hejian County Prince Li Xiaogong. It was easier to implement many government orders.
Building distribution centers and private ports in Yangzhou will inevitably have a great impact on local local snakes in Yangzhou. The damage may be the interests of a large group of people. At this time, there is no better way except for the court's forceful suppression.
"Since that's the case, let me leave this matter. However, the Communications Department has not covered Yangzhou and Yazhou yet. If it is necessary to make arrangements as soon as possible, the air station needs to operate together to facilitate it!"
Li Shimin said, looking at Xi Yunfei without blinking, his meaning was self-evident.
It would be a great thing for the court to establish air stations in Yangzhou and Yazhou.
Nowadays, many people have rumored that Hejian County Prince Li Xiaogong intends to rebel. The fundamental reason is that Jiangnan is rich, and Chang'an is too far away from Jiangnan.
The implementation cycle of government orders is too long. It is often only a month or two after the government order is issued that Li Xiaogong from Yangzhou received the news that when he implemented the implementation, the court may have new laws. Inadequate supervision of enforcement caused by inconvenient communication is the key to the problem.
Xi Yunfei glanced at him, nodded slightly, and said, "Since you want to establish a port in these two places, the air station and the Communications Department will naturally be better, but the Communications Department may be a little troublesome."
"Oh? But what's the trouble?" Li Shimin asked hurriedly.
Xi Yunfei glanced at Changsun Wuji and said, "It's not a big problem. The new communication equipment requires a large number of new wires. I have already opened a R&D department in Shuofang. I think it will be a result in a while."
When the people here heard this, they all looked at Xi Yunfei curiously: "New communication equipment?"
