Xu Long is even better than Li Yuanai imagined. She sorted out the accounts of Da'an Palace and the expenses in the past two months in just two days.

Li Yuanai remembers that when the accounts are checked at the end of each year, it took ten accountants a month to sort out the annual accounting and expenditure.

After asking carefully, Li Yuanai understood.

These ladies are also divided into categories. Generally, ladies from high schools have been educated in "Female Rings" and "Female Virtue" since childhood. They cannot meet men without private opinion. It is enough to understand the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues.

But the ladies like Xu Long, "Female Rings" and "Female Virtue" are just the most common ones, and the most time they marry a wealthy official family and become the mistress and wife.

The ancients attached the most importance to family harmony and peace.

The mistress has a great status as a grandmother. She respects the elderly and raises the young. She is the storefront of her own men and the head of the backyard. She is in charge of the economy, maids and concubines.

A mistress with outstanding abilities can make the family prosperous for at least three generations.

Li Yuanai was also becoming more and more satisfied with this wife.

The third day of the wedding is the last part of the wedding.

This is the first time a newlywed couple has returned to their parents' home to visit their relatives. Not only does the man but the woman pay attention to it, but the woman's parents are even more so.

In order to welcome the arrival of his new son-in-law, Xu Xiaode held a Chinese banquet to entertain the new son-in-law.

When Li Yuanai arrived at Xu's mansion, the Xu family had already decorated with lights and guests were filled with guests.

His brother-in-law, the biggest unlucky son of the Xu family, the eldest son of the Xu family, welcomed the guests outside the house.

Nowadays, he is a bachelor of Chongwenguan and a scholar who serves as the crown prince. He has a certain weight beside Li Zhi.

Seeing Li Yuanai and his sister arrived, they hurried forward to greet him and greet him.

Li Yuanai was the King of Shang, and Xu Long was the Princess of Shang personally granted by Li Shimin. His status was naturally higher than Xu Qidan.

Li Yuanai still had some good feelings for this brother-in-law and smiled and said, "It's all a family, there is no need to be polite."

They walked into the Xu Mansion and visited Xu Xiaode and Jiang.

Xu Long went to the backyard to ask about his well-being with his mother.

Xu Xiaode led Li Yuanai to meet all the guests invited.

Li Yuanai gave her father-in-law enough face and welcomed all the guests politely, which made Xu Xiaode laugh and said straight: "I've got a good son-in-law."

This introduction to guests will inevitably praise the past of the address.

Li Yuanai unexpectedly discovered that most of the people who invited him were from Jiangnan.

The honorary clan is different from the gentry. The gentry refers to the scholarly family, while the honorary clan is a serious official family.

Li Yuanai was moved, found a free time, and asked in a low voice: "It seems that my father-in-law has a lot of connections in Jiangnan?"

When Xu Xiaode suddenly asked this question, he was stunned at first, and then smiled and said, "It was all under his guise of ancestors. The Xu family was not a genius in Jiangnan, but the Xu family in the East China Sea. They went south to avoid war. The ancestors were highly valued by Xiao Daocheng of the Southern Qi Dynasty and were appointed as Sikong. After that, they went through Nanliang and Nanchen, and changed to the Three Kingdoms. The Xu family's status rose and fell for two or three hundred years. From the prime minister and general to the prefect and county officials, they all had their own connections, so they were well-connected. Especially his father,

In charge of civil and military affairs, Nan Chen was invited by the court, General Fu Bo, Prince of Jiangxia, and also married my mother Sikong, Shen Guozhongwu, and helped the marriage between the two families. After the previous dynasty destroyed Nanchen, we were deeply moved away from Jiangnan and were forced to move us to resettle and settle down in Fengyi County, Tongzhou. Now that the previous dynasty has been destroyed for many years, most of us have chosen to withdraw back to Jiangnan, and only a few have set up their homes outside."

He paused and said in a daze: "If the eldest daughter had not been favored by Empress Changsun and was selected as a palace concubine, she would probably have moved back to her hometown in Jiangnan."

As he said that, he smiled again and said, "But if this is the case, he will not be able to get a good son-in-law."

Li Yuanai's eyes lit up. Most of the developments in his mind about Jiangnan originated from later generations. He only knew the actual situation in Jiangnan today, but did not know the details.

My father-in-law, who has lived in Jiangnan for several generations, and has such connections in Jiangnan, is very beneficial to his governance of Jiangnan, so he told Xu Xiaode about his impending situation of going to Jiangnan to rectify Jiangnan.

Xu Xiaode was very surprised and thought that Li Yuanai had a very noble status and wanted to truly gain real power, he would soon be able to succeed the prince ascend to the throne.

I didn't expect it to be reused so soon.

I was happy and a little reluctant to leave. My eldest daughter is now in Chang'an and is valued by the prince Li Zhi. Even if I have the intention to move back to Jiangnan, it is not realistic. The eldest daughter is rarely seen in the palace once a year, and the youngest daughter who has been raising her at home is thousands of miles apart.

Xu Xiaode came from a family of officials and knew that his future was important, so he immediately said, "After eating this banquet, my father-in-law and son-in-law sat down to talk in detail. The Southern Dynasty nobles who had been in the Xu family for hundreds of years still had some background."

Li Yuanai didn't speak for now, but in fact he looked down on the so-called nobles of the Southern Dynasty.

The south of the Yangtze River is far away from the temple, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

This time he went south, he almost held the Shangfang Sword and was the first-class prince of the dynasty.

What kind of honors in the Southern Dynasty are separated by a Sui Dynasty? How expensive can they be?

If you really want to make things difficult for yourself, let them go to see the ancestors of the Southern Dynasty.

What Li Yuanai wants to know is the details of Jiangnan, and he needs one or two trustworthy people.

Li Yuanai is aware of the two different concepts of planning and implementation.

Many times, their drawings are well designed, but the contractor cut corners and workers do not work hard.

The same is true for governing places. How can there be a few things that are lip service in the officialdom?

Li Yuanai didn't want to be confused and fooled.

After seeing off the guests, Xu Xiaode discussed his understanding of Jiangnan and the problems facing Jiangnan with Li Yuanai in detail.

China does not lack capable ministers in governing the world, and Yuan Xian of the Southern Chen was one of them. Unfortunately, he met the debauchery of the old master Chen, who had only a lifetime of talent and no choice.

After Chen Houzhu ascended the throne, Yuan Xian wrote a plan to govern Jiangnan and resist the Sui Dynasty, but Chen Houzhu felt that it was too expensive and refused.

Yang Su, Gao Ying and others praised this plan and said bluntly that if Chen Shubao had not been foolish and had acted with Yuan Xian's plan, he could at least protect the national destiny of Nanchen for ten years.

At that time, the Sui Dynasty was in a state of unification of the world and it was already very impressive to be able to protect the national destiny for ten years.

Xu Xiaode happened to read it and happened to talk to Li Yuanai.

Li Yuanai looked surprised when he heard this. Yuan Xian's idea of ​​respecting agriculture and salt was inconsistent with it.

Although Jiangnan has developed agriculture without brains, which has caused low grain to hurt farmers, it is impossible for the farming people to not do farming.

Although the purpose of this southward development is to focus on commerce, agricultural development has always ranked first.

The concept of echoing the national conditions of this era made Li Yuanai amazed and had a new understanding of the affairs of Jiangnan.

Back to Da'an Palace, after some summary.

Li Yuanai officially recorded his governance plan in a book and sent it directly to Li Zhi.

This matter is related to the future economic development direction of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Zhi did not dare to make a hasty decision and asked Li Shimin with Li Yuanai.

Li Shimin read the detailed plan written by Li Yuanai and kept silent for a moment: "Are you planning to start with Su, Hu?"

Li Yuanai heard a saying in later generations: Suhu is familiar with it, and the world is full of all.

Suzhou and Huzhou, one is located east of Taihu Lake and the other is located south of Taihu Lake. The Taihu Lake basin has a flat terrain, fertile land, and small rivers are everywhere, with hundreds of rivers and lingering around. It is the earliest place in China to achieve the ripening of grain in a year.

Li Yuanai did not expect Li Shimin to really hand over Jiangnan to him in this way.

How vast is Jiangnan? South of the Yangtze River, then he is not called Shang King, but Jiangnan King.

Even if Li Shimin really gives it to him, Li Yuanai can't take care of it.

He went south to control the entire Jiangnan directly. Wouldn't he be blind?

Therefore, he chose Suzhou, which has the most development prospects, and Huzhou was the starting point. He asked himself to be the governor of Suzhou, the governor of Huzhou, and rule the land of Suhu, and carry out reforms.

As long as you develop prospects in Suhu, the surrounding states will naturally change.

As long as you succeed, summarize your experience, and achieve your achievements, as long as you send officials from other places, Xiao Gui and Cao Sui will naturally develop.

It is your task to be a good leader, not to take everything into consideration.

"Yes, my brother Su, the lake has the power of Taihu Lake, and the water networks in the territory are intertwined, which is conducive to the exchange of boats and ships, and has the most development prospects. This reform of Jiangnan and the entire Jiangnan is not easy to reorganize Jiangnan in one go. First, the key is to develop Su and Lake, and then drive the surrounding prefectures and counties to slowly plan it. It is a perfect strategy. As for Quanzhou Port, I would like to ask Your Majesty to choose a capable minister to take on this great task. Quanzhou is too far from Suhu Lake, so I am really unable to follow my heart."

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Yuanai in front of him, then looked at Li Zhi again and said, "What do you think of the prince?"

Li Zhi said respectfully: "My son-in-law thinks that Uncle Sixteen is a little petty. In the two states of Suhu, why should I send a prince to?"

Li Shimin snorted softly and said, "The Prince is right. Jiangnan development is the most important thing. Do you think I am like you and are a petty family? The emperor asked you to go to Jiangnan, but you are not willing to enjoy a peaceful life and be timid in your work? What kind of climate is it?" He flipped through the case table, then took out a map and threw it to Li Yuanai and said, "Jiangnan Road is indeed too big, I wish you were not capable of being the Prime Minister. The emperor divided Jiangnan Road and divided it into Jiangnan West Road and Jiangnan East Road. You are responsible for the administrative matters of the sixteen prefectures of the Jiangnan East Road and Jiangnan East Road. You are responsible for the administrative matters of the Sixteen Prefectures of the Sixteen Prefectures of the Jiangnan East Road and give you the power to promote and demote the ambassador."

He paused and looked at Li Yuanai and said, "As for the application of the Yangzhou Governor you mentioned, you also know the benefits and interests of it. Yangzhou soldiers were set up for the Zhennan District. Since you have the administrative power of Jiangnan East Road, it is indeed not appropriate to lead Yangzhou soldiers. This is the emperor's approval. However, he is responsible for the government affairs of the sixteen states, but he cannot succeed without soldiers. As you say, he will be changed to the governor of Suhu and Hang Three Prefectures. If the troops and horses of Suhu and Hang Three Prefectures are transferred to you, there is no problem to stabilize Jiangnan Road. In addition, I will also choose a good general to guard Yangzhou. If you act boldly and rest assured, you will be surprised. The Yangzhou Army will go south to open the way for you."
