The older the world, the less courageous you are.

The older people are, the more likely they are to be conservative.

The prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall could no longer tolerate Li Xiao, and the name of the ministers in the market made them feel uncomfortable. In the eyes of these bigwigs, Li Xiao was not following the rules.

No one likes those who do not follow the rules, just like among the wolves, the head wolves are always the most wary of young and strong male wolves.

"Didn't Li Xiao propose this practical plan to His Majesty? Then just let Li Xiao be a polite and appeaser." Li Yifu said.

Compared to Li Ji, a prime minister like Li Daozong who is highly prestigious and experienced, and a prime minister like Li Yifu who has no foundation can accept the existence of an internal minister like Li Xiao. Li Ji can be very arrogant, but he cannot tolerate it.

"Li Xiaogang came back from the position of the governor of Andongdao. You ask him to release another strategy. How is this possible? He is innocent and wrong. It is unlikely that he will be a strategy like being demoted, and Your Majesty will not agree." Yuwen Jie felt it was inappropriate.

Among the three envoys at the first level of Tao, although the politicians were called the Jieshou, they were actually the one with the least powerless one. Since Li Xiao was already an internal minister, it was unrealistic to let him be a Jieshou without power.

"Then let him be an observation and fortune commander!"

The three departments have the same rank, that is, the third rank, which is slightly higher than the original rank of the second rank, but considering that the sixth department and nine ministers of the Central Committee are only the third rank, and even many prime ministers in the Zhengshi Hall are only the third rank, so they are no longer designated as the second rank.

The governor of Shangzhou, the Tang Dynasty, was from the third rank, and the chief of the Third Division could naturally not be lower than the subordinate governor, so he finally settled in the third rank.

The officials who observe the transfer of transportation are responsible for supervision and assessment and fiscal and tax transfer of transportation are of great power.

However, without the observation and transfer of civil power, power is still limited.

"The observation of the Transportation Envoy is a little more powerful than the Chengxuan Envoy, but where is Li Xiao going?"

"Just go to Qinghai Road." Li Yifu said.

Yuwen Jie shook his head quickly.

What a joke? Although Qinghai has been defeated, what is there?

Although the place is very large, how many people are there?

All of them are added up, there is no poor and partial place with a population of one million. Let Li Xiao take an observation? Is Li Xiao willing? Isn’t this obviously telling others that Li Xiao has been demoted?

"Look, we still have to be generous. Since we want Li Xiao to leave the capital, we have to make him willing. Stop talking about border areas. Li Xiao refused to go to such places, and the emperor would not be willing. If we want to go, we can only arrange a wealthy place."

Yuwen Jie is quite experienced and knows that Li Xiao is favored now. If you say you can send Li Xiao to somewhere, it would be impossible.

Li Xiao is not wrong or guilty, and he can't demote others, because there is a reason.

Since you cannot be demoted, you can only praise you.

It is said that Li Xiao has outstanding talents and has talents in governing the local area, so that he can take charge of the local area and develop the local area. This is the reason for the serious.

"Hedong, Henan, Hebei? Or Huainan, Shannan, Jiangnan, Lingnan?"

Apart from the border roads, other places are still good, but north of the Yellow River is richer than south of the Yellow River, and south of the Huai River is richer than south of the Yangtze River.

For example, Lingnan, Jiannan and Shannan, although there are several relatively wealthy prefectures, such as Yizhou, Guangzhou, Jingzhou, etc., but overall, they are still far from the Central Plains.

If you ask Li Xiao to go to Hedong, Henan and Hebei, it is really a good choice.

"How about Jiannan Road?"

The emperor is far away from Jiannan Road. After all, Shu Road is difficult to reach the sky. If you throw Li Xiao to Jiannan, you may not be able to come back once a year. Moreover, the southwest of Jiannan is Tubo and the southeast is Nanzhao, which are all restless. There are many barbarian tribes in the territory, which is enough to keep Li Xiao busy.

"inappropriate!"

Xu Jingzong objected.

"If Jiannan approaches Tubo and Nanzhao, if Li Xiao goes there, with his temperament, he will probably give him a chance to cause trouble. He will still make trouble if he has nothing to do. If he is allowed to be far away from Emperor Gao that day, he might have to cause trouble. Then we will have to be led by his nose, which is even more annoying."

Thinking about Li Xiao in Anton, he was only three thousand old and weak. He had the ability to make trouble. Not only did he suppress the Baekje people to restore the country, but he also defeated the Japanese and took the opportunity to annex Silla, and he was able to survive a game of dead chess.

When Li Xiao was asked to go to Jiannan, who knew how he would make trouble then, and everyone did not think that Li Xiao would have such good luck every time.

If he lit the fire but was unable to control it in the end, it would burn to Chang'an.

"If you want me, let him go to Lingnan Road. Lingnan is also far away, but the environment there is relatively better, so it is not easy to have the opportunity to let Li Xiao cause trouble."

"I think it's OK. Let Li Xiao be the Lingnan Observation Transportation Commissioner, let him go there to supervise the chiefs of Lingnan, and then collect taxes for the court. Guangzhou Port has been a big port since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, but the taxes received by the court are not as good as those of Chishan Port, a newly opened port for three years. Guangzhou's population has exceeded 100,000. This is the fifth state city after Chang'an, Luoyang, Yangzhou and Yizhou in the Tang Dynasty, after Chang'an, Luoyang, Yangzhou and Yizhou. However, the taxes are too small. Let Li Xiao go there to collect taxes." Xu Jingzong stroked his beard and said.

Guangzhou is a big port on the southern road of Tongyihai Road. There are countless merchant ships entering and leaving every year, but the taxes collected are extremely low. In addition, there are many Liyue and Han tyrants in Lingnan who were granted official positions by the court after they joined the court in their early years, resulting in the Lingnan area being a prefecture and county directly under the jurisdiction of the court, but the power of the Liyue natives and the Han tyrants who had been in the hundreds of years were extremely strong, such as Feng, Xian, Chen, etc.

After experiencing the rebellion of the Lingnan Tucheng in a few years, although the power of these natives was weakened a little, they were still very strong.

The imperial court had a weak real control over there, and even some remote prefectures and counties could only control one prefecture and county town. The rest of the places were decided by the natives and the Li Yue people.

Under such circumstances, the imperial court's control is difficult to strengthen, let alone tax collection.

The taxes are not fully collected every year, and even the work of population inventory and registration, land measurement and bookkeeping cannot be continued.

And those private minerals in Lingnan often do not teach the court.

Lingnan Road is still the only road in the Tang Dynasty that still prohibits copper coins from flowing in, and the main ones are old copper coins and silver coins.

There are too many problems in Lingnan. Although the situation has improved slightly every year, the change is still too slow.
