The whole of Chang'an was particularly quiet in the next month. Even Li Chengqian seemed to be particularly quiet because of his cultivation. Even the rumors spreading in Chang'an about King Yue replacing the prince slowly dissipated.

Because the news that Li Tai went to Youzhou began to spread among the upper-class families.

Since a first-class family like Du Chuke can get it, as long as others are willing, they will naturally get this news.

For example, the prince’s right concubine Li Baiyao was born in the Li family of Boling. He is a master of historians and is now an official in the prince’s mansion.

Although Li Baiyao is honest and upright, he can't stand someone who seriously hurts the prince or the king of Yue, so he pays attention to this matter.

Now the King of Yue is willing to take a step back and take the initiative to leave Chang'an to go to the bitter and cold land of Youzhou. Whether for the love of the King of Yue or the prince himself, Li Baiyao does not want the prince to do anything at this time to add to Li Tai's journey.

Unnecessary trouble.

Li Chengqian was stunned when he heard the news.

For the first time, he knew that his brother, who was extremely capable, cared about him so much, and this time he took the initiative to give in because of rumors.

When Li Tai first came to see him, he planned to use the foot bones of death row prisoners to find a way to save his foot bones. He couldn't help but feel warm and sighed secretly that maybe this is a real brother!

After all, Li Chengqian was only one year older than Li Tai at this time, and he was still a princely profession.

He had not yet felt Li Shimin's strong expectations for him and the perverted demands from all the ministers of the court.

So he still felt that Li Tai was his own brother. He was really wrong when he suspected him!

Because Xu Jingzong's official position was low, if he had not been to come to the prince with the "Book of Sui" for proofreading the manuscript, Xu Jingzong would not have many channels to know about this news.

So from Li Chengqian, he learned that Li Tai took the initiative to go to Youzhou and was stunned.

But Xu Jingzong immediately showed ecstasy. To be honest, no one in the civil and military affairs in the court could tell that the only one who could pose a threat to Crown Prince Li Chengqian was Li Tai.

Now that Li Tai has taken the initiative to go to Youzhou, is there anyone who is even more stupid than this in the world?!

Xu Jingzong couldn't help but sigh that the prince was lucky and could meet such a fool.

However, he also agreed with Li Baiyao's opinion. Before Li Tai left Chang'an, we would calm down and not have to do anything more, otherwise it would be unbeautiful.

So as the East Palace took the initiative to calm down, the entire Chang'an was at least very quiet for Li Tai.

In order to increase his capital to Youzhou, Li Tai began to sell shops and part of the land in Gaoling City.

After all, I have already taken the initiative to buy Gaoling’s high-quality land, and now I am just monetizing it.

However, this time I sold, I could feel someone following the flow, as if I was afraid that I would not sell it. I helped me find good sellers and made me recover my blood.

Soon, Ma Zhou reported that the main project in Zhengbaiqu area had been completely completed.

Taibai Canal, Zhongbai Canal and Nanbai Canal are collectively called Sanbai Canal. All of them have been opened, and more than 12,000 yuan of land has been added to fertile land. The remaining finishing work will be completed within one month.

Li Shimin was very satisfied with Ma Zhou's efficiency, but considering Ma Zhou's age and preparing to attack Du Ruhui in the future, he was still a messenger of the water capital, but gave Ma Zhou the fourth rank of the Central Doctor and the essay official, and

The title of founded by the Imperial College, etc.

After all, when you are promoted to a Tang Dynasty, you will usually only promote your official position at the beginning, which will allow you to implement it for a period of time.

If you do well, then you will slowly make up for the various additional positions of the same level, such as the same level, such as the Jue, the Honor, the Sanguan, etc., to indicate that you are qualified to hold this position.

That is, Ma Zhou obtained the Water Capital Envoy after implementing the "Cache Transport Plan" in the Weihe River. Now he said that Ma Zhou has truly settled in this position, so the supporting welfare benefits not only match Ma Zhou, but also greatly improved.

However, Li Shimin also planned to continue to use Ma Zhou in the "Cast Transport Plan" of the Grand Canal, so he did not directly promote Ma Zhou's official position at this time to facilitate future dispatch to Du Ruhui.

But the literary officials and titles given to Ma Zhou are all from the fourth grade, which is somewhat implied.

It means that your current merits are qualified to be from the fourth rank, but you still need to polish the position of Water Du Messenger for a few years, and when you have enough qualifications, you can be dispatched to the fourth rank position.

And this is already very honorable. After all, Ma Zhou is not a relative of the foreign country and is not from a noble family. Even if he reaches the position of a fourth-rank official before he is forty, it is quite difficult.

Not to mention, Ma Zhou now has a vague trend of becoming a fourth-rank official at the age of 35.

For the entire officialdom, this is already a slowly rising superstar.

After all, the Shangshu Zuo Pushe and You Pushe who were regarded as prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty were only second-ranks. Basically, their official positions were at the fifth-rank or above, and they were already considered high-ranking officials, not to mention that Ma Zhou had already bought them with half a foot.

From the fourth grade.

Of course, except for Ma Zhou, everyone who came to build the canal was rewarded, and the biggest reward should be Li Tai.

First of all, Li Tai's title was transferred from King Yue to King Yan. Because his fief was in Youzhou, King Yue was not very suitable.

At the same time, Li Tai was appointed as the governor of Youzhou and the governor of Youzhou, and was responsible for the military and political affairs of Youzhou.

It includes the control over the Bohai Navy and the administrative power of Gui, Tan, Ji, Yi, Mo, Ying and Cang Qizhou around Youzhou.

It can be said that Li Shimin really gave Li Tai a considerable power, which was enough for Li Tai to show his talents.

However, although Li Shimin delegated power to Li Tai, he still planted two people for Li Tai.

One is Gao Feng and Gao Jifu, and the other is Su Lie and Su Dingfang. Gao Jifu is Youzhou's stranger, and Su Dingfang is Youzhou Sima.

The two of them were to supervise Li Tai and assist Li Tai. In particular, although Youzhou was not considered a chaotic war, it was also a place where the Tang Dynasty and the outside world were blended, and it was also across the sea from Goguryeo, so it was not considered safe.

Maybe something messy would happen, so the two of them were arranged to assist Li Tai.

Of course, Li Tai believes that if he cannot impress these two people, they will definitely have Li Shimin staying to check and balance his secret orders. As long as he does things randomly, they will inevitably curb themselves.

Li Tai was naturally satisfied with Su Lie following him, Li Tai, after all, he knew Su Dingfang a little.

Although Li Tai didn't know how strong Su Dingfang was, looking at his attitude in leading the troops, it could be seen that Su Dingfang had never been lazy in leading the troops.

Compared with the so-called famous generals, Li Tai believes in such a person who usually accumulates with sweat.

After all, sweat won't lie.

As for Gao Jifu, to be honest, Li Tai doesn't know his ability.

Since it was pushed by Li Shimin on his own initiative, I would work hard for him and push the government affairs to him when I get there. I think I can handle it.

To be honest, the release of the imperial edict in the court did surprise many people.

In particular, the people of Gaoling spontaneously organized themselves, hoping that Li Tai would not leave, but unfortunately, although Li Tai was quite moved, he still had to leave as long as he should.

However, Li Tai told the aliens who completed the project that you want to stay locally, so you can register miscellaneous households and become citizens of the Tang Dynasty, or continue to follow yourself to Youzhou, and then you can become civilians who have become good citizenship in Youzhou.

A large number of people chose to leave two people to become miscellaneous, and about two thousand people were willing to follow Li Tai to Youzhou.

To be honest, they went to Youzhou not necessarily because of the good household registration, but more because they felt that Youzhou was closer to their former home.

Moreover, Youzhou is also an important city where foreign races and Han people gather. Maybe you can meet the people in your hometown!

Fortunately, Li Tai has few friends and does not need to visit each family.

However, Li Tai still went to say goodbye to the tearful Changle himself. After all, this sister Li Tai still likes it very much.

In addition to Changle, there are naturally Empress Changsun, Li Shimin, and even the prince, she burst into tears as if she was really reluctant to leave.

When the family members visited, Li Tai took his five hundred cars of silk to Youzhou.

When Li Tai truly revealed his assets, the court officials realized that Li Tai had made money to such an incredible level in just three or four years during his tenure as the magistrate of Gaoling County.

But in this process, Li Tai did not corruption and abuse his power, and did not buy titles and sell official positions. Instead, he built Gaoling to a very prosperous future and even renovated Zheng Baiqu.

The money seemed to come clean, and even Wei Zheng looked at the silk and satin pulled in Li Tai's car, which was a bit incredible, because he wanted to give advice, but he seemed to be unable to find a reason to give advice.

No matter what, Li Tai really let the world know his ability to make money this time, which is simply incredible.

"At the beginning of the third year of Zhenguan, this Gaoling was still in ruins, and even the people of Gaoling themselves were refugees.

But now, only three years of Zhenguan, King Yan not only made Gao Ling rich in the world, but even he himself seemed to have gained great benefits from it!"

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "When King Yan goes to Youzhou, maybe Youzhou will really make it a miracle like Gaoling."

"Yue... the King of Yan's ability to make money is afraid that there is no one in the world who is right.

But King Yan is a child of the royal family. How can he be so extravagant for me, the wise king of the Tang Dynasty!”

Wei Zheng looked at Li Tai and sighed, "No one is perfect!"

Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Zheng very disgustedly. Of course, Fang Xuanling also understood Wei Zheng's mentality very much.

In other words, almost all the important officials in Zhenguan were somewhat awkward to Li Tai.

I admire Li Tai's ability to show, but unfortunately, Li Tai's imperfection is somewhat flawed in terms of identity and his own behavior.

To a certain extent, Li Tai's ability to make money is almost proportional to his ability to cause trouble, so most court officials have a headache.

But if it is the Ministry of Revenue and the Inner Government Supervisor, I like Li Tai very much.

After all, when it comes to making money, Li Tai will take the initiative to attract both. At least compared to many businessmen who do not need to pay money, Li Tai is quite active in paying taxes.

In the spring of the sixth year of Zhenguan, this month was supposed to be the people of Chang'an who were amazed at the Shilihongzhuang when the eldest princess got married, but now they are amazed at the wealth Li Tai, the King of Yan, brought when he was conferred a title.

However, Li Tai never said that he had embezzled and accepted bribes when he was an official. Instead, the development of the entire Gaoling was almost as fast as the entire Chang'an area.

So the people began to say that Li Tai had the ability to turn into gold. Occasionally, some people who liked to bet on horses began to take the initiative to worship Li Tai's portrait in order to make money!

Li Tai drove from Chang'an to Luoyang, and then prepared to go to Xingyang and enter Yongji Canal to Youzhou.

This section of the road is the smoothest and fastest, and it takes about half a month to walk on the waterway.

However, when Li Tai was in Luoyang, he did not expect that Du Ruhui, who was patrolling the Grand Canal, was also in the post station.

Li Tai took the initiative to greet him, "Tai has met Du Xiang, but he didn't expect to meet at the inn today!"

"I've seen the King of Yan!" Du Ruhui saluted Li Tai, without saying he was to be looked down upon by Li Tai. He just looked at the hundreds of carriages that Li Tai had brought with him and sighed: "The King of Yan took office and actually brought him a hand.
To be continued...
