Li Yuanai naturally did not forget Shi Pantuo. Before leaving, he asked Li Gongyan to arrange someone to take Shi Pantuo to the clinic to treat itchy.

After Li Dejian joined Li Yuanai's command, Shi Pantuo had an opponent.

The two of them were bored and they were having fun.

When it comes to martial arts, Shi Pantuo is not Li Dejian's opponent.

But Shi Pantuo was born with divine power, as if possessed by ghosts and gods. The Ruyi Golden Hoop was in his hand and one force was reduced to ten times.

No matter how Li Dejian has all kinds of tricks, he dared not approach Shi Pantuo's body.

Only by relying on skillful energy to wander around and consume Shi Pantuo's strength can we find the opportunity to win.

The two of them often have hundreds of ways to start.

Shi Pantuo is now at the extreme, and it is only a matter of two moves to fight first-class players. But any first-class master can use his experience and skills to play and consume his physical strength.

What he lacks the most is the experience of fighting against top-notch masters.

With Li Dejian's guidance and discussion, Shi Pantuo's strength increased greatly. He also knew the other party's strength and knew that he could protect Li Yuan'ai's safety, so he followed him.

Li Yuanai walked all the way to Quanzhou Wharf.

Li Gongyan enthusiastically introduced the history of Quanzhou to Li Yuanai.

"This deserted land of Quanzhou since ancient times is located on the southeast coast, the Daiyun Mountains in the northwest, the hilly plains in the middle are intertwined, the Jinjiang River runs across it, the southeast coast is winding, the water is many deep bays, and the streams in the territory are crisscrossed, known as the Ninety-Nine Streams, but the rainwater is mostly in spring and winter, and the summer and autumn are drought, and the streams are exhausted. When it comes to the geographical environment, it is not an ideal place to live. However, the ancestors of Quanzhou are scattered in the mountains, forests and seasides, and live a life of fishing and hunting."

"Especially from the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were wars in the north and fields were destroyed. On the contrary, the south was relatively stable. The people of the Central Plains continued to enter Quanzhou through land and sea routes, bringing advanced production tools and technologies such as iron farm tools, ox plowing, and overturning to develop the Jinjiang River Basin, forming a half-agricultural and half-agricultural situation. They were good at building boats and traversing rivers and seas, so that the shipbuilding industry was particularly developed. His Highness chose Quanzhou as a port and traded to all directions, which was a clever decision."

Li Yuanai looked at Li Gongyan, no wonder he could be praised by Li Shimin as saying "The east road of Jiangnan, Gongyan is the most virtuous."

There are many talents all over the world, but there are few talents with attitudes.

Quanzhou is considered a barren place, and the fields have been harvested for many years.

The court has regulations that if the grain harvest is poor, taxes can be reduced or even tax exemptions can be exempted.

Quanzhou either reduces taxes or exempts taxes every year, and the court does not expect that places like Minyue and Lingnan can pay much taxes. It is enough to give some local specialties every year, showing your feelings.

Ordinary officials arranged for places like Quanzhou to be exiled, so they would not work diligently for the court.

The imperial court arranged for Li Gongyan to be the governor of Quanzhou not to expect him to govern Quanzhou, but to consider him to talk about friendship with the local emperor Feng Ang of Lingnan, and to pay attention to Lingnan in real time in Quanzhou to resolve and ease conflicts with each other.

As long as you do this, it will be Li Gongyan’s great achievements.

But Li Gongyan did not sit in the body and feasted on the ground, but wanted to manage Quanzhou day and night. Although the effect was not obvious. However, this was not because of his lack of ability. The terrain of Quanzhou was too harsh and the population was small, so it was hard for a good cook to cook without rice.

Just compare Hangzhou, Li Yuanai dared to open West Lake and build Qiantang because Hangzhou still has a certain foundation.

Open West Lake and build Qiantang to start with at least 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. If you use such a large project, what will the labor cost? When will you pay for the money? It is worthwhile to improve Hangzhou's economy and take care of Hangzhou's 200,000 people.

The total population of Quanzhou is only 10,000 households, and the total number of elderly, weak, women and children is less than 50,000.

To repair the Ninety-Nine Creeks, the project is not smaller than building West Lake and building Qiantang. Quanzhou has no labor available at all. It is barely transferred from other places to work and spend huge amounts of money. Even if it succeeds, it will only benefit from the fact that Quanzhou is less than 50,000 people, which is not worth it at all.

It’s not that we don’t care about the livelihoods of these 50,000 people, but something very realistic and cruel.

Not worth it, not worth it.

Wouldn't it be better to have this energy to develop elsewhere and take care of more people?

Therefore, even if Li Gongyan is capable, it will be difficult to achieve political achievements with Quanzhou's three-point land.

The construction of Quanzhou Wharf was built by Li Gongyan on the excuse of better contact with Lingnan, so he received special funding from the imperial court.

This opened up the coastal route from Quanzhou to Guangzhou and also laid the foundation for Quanzhou to start the Maritime Silk Road.

Li Gongyan might not have thought that it was so far away, but the direction he chose was the right one.

Li Yuanai nodded in nodding.

Under the leadership of Li Gongyan, Li Yuanai and his team arrived at Quanzhou Wharf.

Quanzhou Pier is built in Quanzhou Bay.

When he came to Quanzhou Wharf and looked at the terrain of the entire Quanzhou Bay, Li Yuanai understood why Quanzhou would become the world's largest port in the next hundreds of years.

Quanzhou Bay is surrounded by eroding mountain granite shores. It is connected to the Jinjiang and Luoyang Rivers. As the estuary of the Liangjiang River, it is eroded and hit by the Jinjiang River, Luoyang River and seawater backflow for many years. After hundreds of years of tempering, it has formed a natural harbor.

The mountains and forests on both sides are like natural barriers to shelter Quanzhou Bay from wind and rain.

The most important thing to pay attention to in coastal cities is to have a typhoon. Li Yuanai was from Jiangnan in his previous life and knew that typhoons were very powerful.

The location of Quanzhou Bay is a natural safe haven.

This is a port given by God.

In fact, it is not just that. The biggest advantage of Quanzhou Bay is that there is no huge undercurrent at the estuary, the water flow is stable all year round, and there are few huge waves invading.

Although the ancient shipbuilding industry was developed, it could not easily resist the huge waves and surging undercurrents.

Just like the monk Jianzhen who traveled to Japan, he chose to enter the sea from Yangzhou.

As a result, a shipwreck was sunk in Langgoupu, at the estuary of the Yangtze River. As soon as the ship was repaired, it was exposed to strong winds and drifted to a small island in the Zhoushan Islands, almost dead and alive.

Once they were blown by a strong north wind and drifted for fourteen days before they saw the land. Then they arrived in Sanya and went to Lingnan for a tour, but were blinded.

Although the conditions for monk Jianzhen to go to sea cannot be compared with merchant ships in the Tang Dynasty, the dangers of sailing can also be proved.

The advantages of Quanzhou Bay are irreplaceable elsewhere.

This is also the advantage of Li Yuanai himself. There are not so many measurement tools in this era that can fully analyze the advantages and disadvantages of Quanzhou Bay.

They were all figured out by the ancients little by little through failures with their lives and endless creativity.

“Natural dock!”

Li Yuanai gave a pertinent evaluation to several people in Quanzhou Bay, and then added: "It's just that this dock is made smaller."

Li Gongyan was shocked and asked, "How old should it be!"

Li Yuanai spread his hands and gestured a circle, saying, "All plans are planned. I plan to move the entire people eastward and build a sea-side city around this Quanzhou Port."

Li Gongyan was stunned.
