Li Yuan was Yang Guang's cousin, but Yang Guang almost killed Li Yuan at the beginning. He probably didn't expect that at that time, Li Yuan would finally help him to be buried with the emperor's courtesy, which gave him a decent cemetery. Of course, Li Yuan did this to win people's hearts and establish his image of affection and righteousness.

However, no matter what the reason was, Yang Guang was finally placed in a reasonable place after his death and was buried in his favorite Yangzhou, which was just a bit inconvenient for his descendants to worship him. However, there were not many descendants of Yang Guang, so no one cared about it. In addition, Li Yuan also arranged some people to guard the tombs in Yang Guang's cemetery.

Li Xiu and Li Ke came to Yang Guang's cemetery, and then walked through a stone-paved path to look like a hill in front of the tomb. It was Yang Guang's tomb. When Li Ke saw the tombstone of his grandfather, he became very sad, but he did not cry. After all, he had no feelings for Yang Guang, but because of his mother, he came to worship on her behalf.

At this moment, Li Ke asked the guards behind him to place the sacrifices they brought, and then personally sweep Yang Guang's tomb for Concubine Yang himself. However, Li Xiu, who stood behind him, looked strange, because when he entered Yang Guang's cemetery just now, he suddenly thought that Yang Guang had sent a false imperial edict to kill his elder brother Yang Yong in order to fight for the throne. From this point of view, he was exactly the same as Li Shimin.

However, it is very interesting. Before Li Xiu traveled through time, Yang Guang's tomb was discovered by a developer while building a building. It is said that the developer who dug Yang Guang's tomb was actually named Yang Yong. To sum up, Yang Guang killed his elder brother Yang Yong, and was dug up the tomb by a guy named Yang Yong more than a thousand years later. It is really a cause and effect, and was also discussed by the successor for a while.

It was precisely because of the above that Li Xiu felt very funny, especially when he looked at the large-scale tomb in front of him, which made him feel the urge to laugh. At this moment, a spoof idea suddenly surged in his mind. If he engraved the words "Yang Yong, the tomb dug Yang Guang" on Yang Guang's tombstone, I wonder if that developer in later generations would be scared to death?

However, Li Xiu obviously thought too much, because Yang Guang's tomb had undergone several changes in the next thousand years, and nothing was left except one tomb, especially the tombstone was missing. Even the monument erected by the Qing Dynasty later could not be found, let alone the tombstone erected by Li Yuan in front of him.

Although there are special guardians in Yang Guang's tomb, as a king of a country that has destroyed, these guardians must not be very concerned about it. It is good that Li Yuan can build this cemetery for Yang Guang, and it is impossible for him to send people to monitor it all the time. Moreover, there are no people in this cemetery at most, at most, there are a few literati and poets coming to express their feelings. This has also led to the management of the cemetery being very slack, and Yang Guang's tomb is also covered with weeds.

However, Li Ke seemed very calm. He cleaned up the weeds around Yang Guang's tomb with his own hands, and then asked the guards to beat and throw them away, and temporarily replaced the people he brought. He probably would hire some local people to guard the tomb in the future. Anyway, he is the governor of Yangzhou. Even if he doesn't come often, it is still okay to ask local officials to take care of Yang Guang's cemetery.

After the worship, Li Xiu and Li Ke walked along the path in Yangguang Mausoleum. The cemetery was very large and surrounded by low hills. Moreover, because there were many gardens around and the scenery was very beautiful, Li Xiu even wanted to buy a garden here as a place to retire in the future.

"Uncle, when are you going to leave for Suzhou?" At this moment, Li Ke suddenly asked. Yangzhou was his destination, but Li Xiu and the others were going to Suzhou. He also knew very well about the reason why Li Xiu was going to Suzhou. After all, he and Jin'er and other children were getting along along the way, so he naturally heard about Qi Niang.

"I guess you'll have another five or six days off. Since you are the governor of Yangzhou, you'll stay here for a while and learn about the military and political affairs of Yangzhou. In this way, you can give your father an explanation when you return to Chang'an in the future." Li Xiu thought for a while and spoke.

Li Shimin was still a little wary of the officials of the Tang Dynasty, so he enfeoffed his sons in various places. However, the princes of the Tang Dynasty were not as powerful as those princes of the Han Dynasty, but had great restrictions on their power. Li Shimin's original intention of enfeoffing these sons was also very simple, which was to allow them to monitor the local area to consolidate the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, if Li Ke returned to Chang'an from Yangzhou, he would definitely be interrogated by Li Shimin in the local situation in Yangzhou. After all, compared to officials, he believed more about the situation his son saw.

"Yes, I think so too, but before I came to Yangzhou, I only heard that Yangzhou is very prosperous. As for how prosperous it is, there is no clear concept. It was not until I came here that I realized that the business here in Yangzhou was so prosperous. I am really worried that I can be competent for the position of governor of Yangzhou?" Li Ke smiled at this time.

"Your father sent you here, not to let you manage Yangzhou, but to let you observe all aspects of Yangzhou and report to him. So I'll give you a few words: Listen more, read more, talk less, do less, as long as you can do these things, you, the governor of Yangzhou, will be qualified!" Li Xiu said at the end, and a serious expression appeared on his face. If Li Ke rashly interfered in the local government affairs in Yangzhou, it would cause big trouble.

After hearing Li Xiu's reminder, Li Ke woke up and hurriedly thanked Li Xiu, and then asked him some questions about government affairs. Although he did not intend to interfere in government affairs in Yangzhou, he must also have a certain understanding of this aspect, otherwise how can he see clearly the reality and reality of Yangzhou?

Li Xiu was not very good at government affairs, so he could only give Li Ke some simple instructions. As for how to do it in the future, it depends on Li Ke's own understanding. However, Li Ke seemed very talented in this area and almost learned from it. This surprised Li Xiu even more. It seems that Li Ke really, like Li Shimin, has a natural political sensitivity.

A few days later, Li Xiu's family was almost resting. Li Ke also learned about the attractions around Yangzhou City in the past few days. Before Li Xiu and the others left, Li Ke invited them to visit and tasted the local food in Yangzhou. Speaking of which, Yangzhou is close to the sea, many sea boats will flow up the Yangtze River to Yangzhou, and also bring overseas food. Although some of Li Xiu and the others are not used to eating, they have a unique flavor.

In addition, Li Xiu has not only been shopping for fun these days, but also learned about Yangzhou's business, especially the shipbuilding industry, because as far as he knows, Yangzhou is one of the most famous shipbuilding bases in the Tang Dynasty. There are various shipbuilding workshops everywhere along the Yangtze River, including large workshops that can build large ships over 100 meters, and many small workshops that make a living by repairing ships.

Speaking of which, Li Xiu also learned something here, because this era was made of wooden ships. After the wooden ship was sailing on the sea for a period of time, something called sea maggots would grow on the wood under the ship. In addition, various marine organisms were attached to the seabed. If left alone, it would not only reduce the speed, but also reduce the service life of the ship.

It is precisely because of this reason that sea boats have to travel from the sea to the freshwater environment every once in a while, so that the attached creatures at the bottom of the boat will slowly die in the freshwater environment, and then they can be cleaned from the bottom of the boat. This is why most of the current harbors are built on the estuary of the river, so that there is enough freshwater to clean the sea boats.

After Li Xiu visited several large shipbuilding workshops in Yangzhou, he also had a rough understanding of the shipbuilding industry in Datang. In fact, he had heard Qi Niang talk about the shipbuilding industry before, but it was false to hear it. Only by seeing it with his own eyes can he have a more intuitive impression.
