Li Kuan’s idea is very simple. It is not up to him to decide whether to help the Feng family or not.

Wang Gui had taught him before that Li Shimin was involved in this matter, so even if Li Kuan was capable, he would not stand with the Feng family. He still knew where his status came from.

In the palace, Li Shimin saw the Lingnan specialties sent by Li Kuan, laughed twice, kept half of them, and asked someone to send them back to Li Kuan, and replied: "Lingnan specialties, they taste good."

That night, Feng Ang and Cheng Zhijie were released.

At night, Feng Ang and Feng Zhidai looked at each other at their home in Chang'an City.

"How?"

Feng An was the first to speak.

"Although the King of Chu is young, he has no money and salt. He gave the gold to His Majesty, who returned it to the Prince of Chu's Mansion. It is obvious that he was waiting for His Majesty to speak."

Feng Zhidai frowned, it would be difficult for them to handle this matter if it involves Li Shimin.

After hearing this, Feng An closed his eyes, and then opened them again: "Are you sure that King Li Kuan of Chu has other tools to open up wasteland?"

Feng Zhidai nodded, there must be.

Feng An sighed and said, "Come into the palace with me tomorrow and give the medicine to cure Lingnan miasma to Your Majesty."

"We can lose to the emperor, but we cannot lose to the noble family."

Feng An said extremely helplessly.

Feng Zhidai sighed, that was all he could do.

The next day, Feng An and Feng Zhidai entered the palace, and then the three provinces issued an imperial edict to commend the Feng family.

The Feng family father and son dedicated themselves to the country, donated medicine to treat miasma, and were willing to mass-produce it to contribute to the opening up of Lingnan.

Immediately afterwards, during lunch, Li Kuan was called out by Li Xiaogong and went to the palace.

Li Shimin hosted a banquet for the Feng family and his son, accompanied by Li Kuan and Li Xiaogong.

At the wine table, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and both parties drank happily.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Shimin was slightly tipsy and retreated. Before leaving, he introduced Li Kuan to Feng Ang.

"This is King Li Kuan of Chu, the main person in charge of our Royal Investment Bank. You can just talk about the rest."

Li Kuan also knew Li Shimin's attitude, so he scratched his head and said helplessly: "General Feng, Governor Feng, let me tell you the truth, no matter how advanced the tools are, he will not be able to complete the land reclamation of Lingnan in one year."

"The main problem in Lingnan is your personnel organization."

Is there a shortage of people in Lingnan?

In Li Kuan's opinion, there is no shortage of people.

But Lingnan is too complicated, with barbarian tribes, Han forces headed by the Feng family, and some miscellaneous cave masters.

A group of people, you live with me, I live with yours, no one cares about anyone else.

Can this strange power shape really be solved by some new tools?

Are you sure it won't hold you back?

Moreover, are you sure that those aristocratic families will not hold you back?

I suspect that the aristocratic families dominated by the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes will most likely use multiple investments to force the Feng family to rest in peace.

Although Li Kuan complained endlessly in his heart, he finally agreed to Feng Ang and others to build a factory in Lingnan, and the Royal Investment Bank professionally injected capital. However, in exchange, part of the official appointments in Lingnan needed to be returned to the court, and at the same time, the cultivated sugar cane land had to be taken.

As collateral.

Li Kuan had new tools, so it was okay to throw away the new farm tools from the Southern Song Dynasty.

As for the effect, Li Kuan laughed, but I can’t guarantee the effect.

After this incident was over, Feng Ang and his son rushed back to Lingnan. Their idea was very simple, to farm the land and grow sugar cane.

A big sword in one hand and benevolence in the other, let those barbarians cooperate with the Feng family.

The Royal Investment Bank sent a team of guards and craftsmen to follow them to build a factory and provide them with production tools.

This situation also made the family see something. It seems that the Feng family is invincible this year, but I want to eat sugar cane money again? What should I do?

They focused on the power to appoint Lingnan officials that Li Shimin exchanged from Feng Ang.

The Feng family was the Supreme Emperor of Lingnan four years before Wude and was also the actual controller of Lingnan. During the chaos of the late Sui Dynasty, the officials there were all appointed by the Feng family themselves.

After the surrender of Wude in the fourth year, Li Yuan had no way to intervene forcefully, which made the invasion of Lingnan officials particularly troublesome. The progress could not be said to be particularly slow, but only no progress.

Now that Feng Ang has handed over part of it in order to establish the bet, the aristocratic family will naturally rush in and follow Li Shimin to eat part of it.

Each aristocratic family used their own connections. You recommended one, I recommended another, and Li Shimin took a few himself. Soon the positions handed over to Lingnan were all taken over.

Li Kuan heard all these things from Wang Gui. Wang Gui has not resigned from Huangmen Shilang and is still messing around with him.

During this period, Wang Gui took the promotion memorial from the Ministry of Revenue and the list of officials compiled for Li Shimin to explain the backgrounds of these officials to Li Kuan.

Even though this man’s surname is Li, he is a disciple of the Cui family.

The man's surname was Liu, and he married a concubine from a branch of the Lu family.

This person's surname is Zhang, and he is the concubine of the Zhang family in Hanoi.

.......

Seeing this, Li Kuan had the feeling that the significance of the imperial examination in this era was probably to whitewash peace.

Who made Wang Gui say that: "Their promotion path is in the hands of the aristocratic family."

"Except for the top few who passed the imperial examination, they caught His Majesty's eyes from the beginning and were kept in Chang'an City. The rest will be assigned to places and within three years, they will become what the family needs."

"And among the top few, you have to remove the heirs of aristocratic families, students from private schools run by aristocratic families, and poor families who have colluded with aristocratic families. How many geniuses have you decided to educate purely from the common people?"

When Wang Gui said this, his mouth was full of ridicule. The imperial examination was a joke in this era without universal education.

A poor family is a declining family, and their dream is to become a noble family.

The landlord's dream is also to become a noble family.

Born as a commoner? Are you telling a joke?

Li Kuan scratched his head, it was really difficult.

However, it had little to do with him. Li Kuan said casually: "To put it bluntly, the current imperial examination is to open up a path for advancement. The aristocratic family has monopolized him in disguise by relying on its monopoly on education. Your Majesty woos the poor and the landlords. The purpose

It’s just to cultivate opponents for the aristocratic families that are currently eating the cake, and then use both sides to balance the situation, and then take the opportunity to grow bigger.”

Wang Gui nodded in approval of his words and said with a smile: "Yes, after all, the cake is limited. The aristocratic family eats a big part, and ambitious people also want to take a bite, so they can only snatch it from the mouth of the aristocratic family, and the imperial power is what they need.

Support."

Wang Gui looked at Li Kuan with satisfaction and praised his educational ability. He said it was really good. He had trained His Royal Highness the King of Chu very well.

Scratching his head, Li Kuan smiled casually and said: "After reading the list you compiled for His Majesty, I have an idea that the Feng family will be finished sooner or later."

"If I were a son of an aristocratic family, the first thing I would do when I came to Lingnan was to find a way to have the county government soldiers kill the barbarian leaders within my jurisdiction, organize the barbarians into households, and use part of the family's strength to teach them Chinese and let them

Become Han Chinese."

"The land obtained from fighting the barbarians was given to the family behind him in disguise by paying military expenses. To do this, you only need to let your family pay a large amount of military expenses in advance. The government has no money, so the land is mortgaged."

"Finally, the rewards are given to the soldiers. The sons of the aristocratic family get the credit for civilizing the barbarians, and the aristocratic family gets the land to grow sugar cane. How wonderful."

"I thought that if we do this for a year, the territory in Lingnan that originally belonged to the Feng family will become like the Tang Dynasty, and the barbarians will gradually disappear."

"If the barbarians in the middle gather to attack the Tang Dynasty, we will just send troops to strangle the barbarians. Anyway, we will also have a method to cure the miasma."

"As for the Feng family, it would be good to destroy them."

Li Kuanyue said that his eyes were getting brighter and he felt that there was nothing wrong with his operation.

After hearing this, Wang Gui's eyes flashed with shock, Ma De, this kid is so bad.

However, I like it.

Wang Gui silently wrote down Li Kuan's words and made two copies, giving one to Li Shimin and one to the aristocratic families.

Wang Gui told Li Kuan about his behavior, and Li Kuan shrugged and said casually: "Isn't this pretty?"

"If the Saga is reclaiming land, don't we still have to buy the tools from our factory in Lingnan?"

"We can also make a big sale then."

"As for whether Feng Ang will be killed, I can only say that swallowing up a Feng family will make much more money than exploiting the people of Lingnan."

Li Kuan's ugly face made Wang Gui give him a thumbs up and said you were right.
