Li Yuanai stood on the bamboo raft and looked at the troublesome reed marsh around her. Her face was a little tired and she couldn't help but yawn. Because she was too sleepy, tears in the corners of her eyes were overflowing, and she said, "Fortunately, the princess didn't come here together. Her daughter-like body could withstand this tossing."

Since the cotton planting was successful, Li Yuanai set out for Quanzhou.

Liu Rengui will handle the follow-up work of cotton.

Now that goods are available, business roads have become the top priority, and Quanzhou's ports should be put into the process.

Quanzhou is even more deviated from the capital Chang'an than Suzhou and Hangzhou, and there is no official road to the end.

They went south and after passing Chuzhou, there was no wide official road feasible.

Cross the boat and cross the mountains, cross the stream and streams, and sometimes even sleep in the wilderness.

This made Li Yuanai feel troubled and once again experienced the disadvantages of inconvenience in ancient times, giving him the feeling of reliving the front line of Goguryeo transporting grain.

Shi Pantuo scratched his whole body even more uncomfortable, muttering in his mouth, and chanting Buddhist scriptures.

The eldest brother has lived in the dry northwest since he was a child and is not very comfortable with the humidity in the south of the Yangtze River.

It was fine in Suzhou and Hangzhou. When he entered Fujian, he had a rash caused by the mountains, forests, grass and insects. In his words, he was so itchy that he wanted to tear off his skin. He could only cram the Buddha's feet and recite the meditation mantra in his mouth, but he didn't know whether it was useful or not.

Li Dejian said: "After passing this stream, we will arrive in Quanzhou. Brother Shi will endure it. There is a doctor in Quanzhou who is very skilled in medical skills and is best at treating itching of evil spirits and keeping medicine until the disease is cured."

As Li Yuanai imagined.

Li Shimin had no intention of severely punishing Li Dejian at all. It was just that Li Dejian and Li Chengqian had too good relationship and sent him to Jiangnan to avoid suspicion.

Li Shimin's idea was to wait for Li Zhi to ascend the throne, and then Li Zhi pardoned Li Dejian, transferred him back to Chang'an, and entrusted him with important tasks.

This kills two birds with one stone, and the key is to win over the great god Li Jing who retires at home.

Even though he withdrew from the officialdom and retired at home, who dared to underestimate him in the Tang Dynasty?

In terms of prestige in the army, except for Li Shimin, the Tang Dynasty, he belonged to him.

After Li Yuanai's letter arrived in Chang'an, Li Zhi immediately gave Li Dejian a military official and asked him to assist Li Yuanai in his actions.

Master Li Dejian's foundation is in Jiangnan. He knows everything about Jiangnan well and has a deep connection, which provides great help.

This time, Li Dejian made sufficient preparations to handle the trip south, so that their trip south would be less unnecessary trouble.

Even the miasma in Fujian was thought of in advance, but Shi Pantuo was affected by the inability to adapt to the water and the plaster he brought did not work.

Li Yuanai asked curiously: "According to this, we should have entered the boundary of Quanzhou long ago. I saw that the streams in Quanzhou were not inferior to the Suhu area at all. Why did the Quanzhou Prefecture complain for years, saying that thalassinated drought and poor harvests in the fields? Is it an official problem? But I heard that the governor of Quanzhou is a rare official."

This Prime Minister Jiangnan Government Affairs, Li Yuanai deeply felt the benefits of high-quality land in Jiangnan.

As a Shuize Township Country, most of the fertile soil in the Jiangnan Plain. As long as flood control measures are taken, there will be bumper harvests almost every year, and there will be a bumper harvest from time to time. Even if there is not much rain, there will be a certain harvest, and there are very few times when the fields are poor.

The cotton they planted grew very gratifyingly with the support of fertile soil. They harvested a lot of good varieties and prepared to expand production and distribute the good varieties to the prefectures under their jurisdiction to help them improve people's livelihood.

The information Li Yuanai obtained was that Quanzhou was located in a remote area, with a vast land and sparse population, barren land and poor people.

As we head south, the traffic is inconvenient, and the land is vast and sparsely populated, but the land is barren but there is no sign of it. Especially when we enter the boundary of Quanzhou, the streams are like spider webs, so there is a saying that ninety-nine streams are said to be.

With such dense streams and water networks, Li Yuanai could not see any signs of barren land.

Li Dejian said: "Your Highness just saw the surface. Fujian is very strange. They have a lot of rain in spring and winter, causing the streams to intersect. However, in autumn and summer, there is drought and rain, and the land cannot store water, the streams dry up, and the crops are flooded in spring and drought in summer and autumn, so it is not easy to survive."

"I see!"

Li Yuanai looked at the shallow stream and asked, "If I expand the stream, will it be effective to store water?"

Li Dejian shook his head and said, "This is not what his subordinates know."

Li Yuanai just asked casually, looking at Sifang with a burning gaze, and was urged to do something big.

However, Li Yuanai dared not make a rash move towards Quanzhou.

Quanzhou is not Hangzhou or Qiantang. He has no deep understanding of Quanzhou and has not had several years of field research. He wants to reorganize the local water network, which is a foolish dream.

The bamboo raft was shored, and the group went down to the riverside wharf, moved the supplies and horses one by one, prepared for a while, and arrived at Quanzhou along Jinjiang.

Li Gongyan, the governor of Quanzhou, had already received news and was waiting outside the city.

Li Gongyan was a capable official.

In the fifth year of Wude, Feng Ang, the son of Lady Xian, the leader of Lingnan, accepted Li Jing's manifesto and led his subordinates to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Gaozu of Tang Li Yuan set up Gao, Luo, Chun, Bai, Ya, Dan, Lin and Zhen Bazhou in Feng Ang's jurisdiction.

Although he surrendered, Lingnan was a real remote place for prisoners to exile. Feng Ang, as the leader of the Yue people, was no different from the local emperor.

In the first year of Zhenguan, another major surnamed Tandian in Lingnan fought with Feng Ang for the territory.

Li Shimin sent Wei Shuxi, the attendant of the cavalry of the rank of the cavalry of the rank of the cavalry of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of

Wei Shuxie and Li Gongyan almost single-handedly eliminated the war and restored peace to Lingnan.

Li Gongyan also became the governor of Quanzhou.

Because Li Gongyan and Feng Ang talked about friendship between the palace, Quanzhou and Lingnan had close contacts.

Although the Maritime Silk Road has not been opened, under the active negotiations of Li Gongyan, there has been a stable coastal channel from Quanzhou to Guangzhou.

"Meet the King of Wu!"

Li Gongyan has a simple face and is over fifty years old, but he does not have the aura of a scholar. Instead, he is dark and delicate, with a tall figure. He is obviously a civil servant but has the style of a military official.

Li Yuanai enthusiastically helped Li Gongyan up and said, "Governor Li is well-known for his reputation. He is here in Jiangnan. Your Majesty personally told me that the east road of Jiangnan is the most virtuous. Today, I saw my true face and I am indeed magnificent."

Li Gongyan said excitedly: "Your Majesty has such praise, and you will have no regrets when you drown."

Most officials of the Tang Dynasty worshipped Li Shimin as a god, and they all felt that the wise monarch and holy lord were just like this.

This is obviously the case with Li Gongyan.

Because there are too many things, Li Yuanai has developed a decisive character in Jiangnan. He directly took Li Gongyan to Quanzhou Wharf and said, "I have already told you about my own purpose in Quanzhou. I will tell you about it by letter. Let me take me to see the Quanzhou Wharf."
