Chapter 44: Seeking Talent
When Li Zhi suddenly heard the news, he was excited and hurriedly said, "Please invite them in."
Li Shimin arranged a lot of backup plans for him, not only Changsun Wuji, but also Li Ji, Yu Zhining, Zhang Xingcheng, Gao Jifu and other left and right arms.
But what others give is not as reliable as your own, even if the other party is a talent like Li Ji.
Li Yuanai is the first person in his own country, and their relationship is obvious to all.
The more outstanding Li Yuanai did in Jiangnan, the more political capital he had.
This is also one of the reasons why he supported Li Yuanai in reforming Jiangnan without any defeat.
Jiangnan has been exhausted for a long time, and no one dares to take over that mess.
Li Yuanai is the only one who has the courage to take on this great task and has done a very good job.
Without damaging the Jiangnan granary, I made a beautiful turnaround with cotton.
Cotton drives the economy of Jiangnan, causing special commodities such as silk, tea oil, and tea in Jiangnan to recover.
Later, the civil strife in Ganyangli was successfully opened. Quanzhou Port started trade with many island countries in the south within just over the rest of the year. According to the Ministry of Revenue, Quanzhou could reverse the fiscal deficit and turn losses into profits in less than two years.
This is still the case when formal exchanges with Western powers such as Dashi, Fuji, and Sassanthemum were not opened.
If everything goes well, the East-West sea trade will be officially opened up and the profit will be greater.
The economy of Jiangnan East Road has recovered from a speed visible to the naked eye, and has long disappeared from fatigue, replaced by a prosperous scene.
What is crucial is that in the past, if a certain place wants to develop, it must be supported by gentry and the court can only be fully funded and succeed in one fell swoop.
The reform in Jiangnan relies entirely on the economic stimulus of self-production. Not only does it require the imperial court to allocate funds, but it pays high taxes and uses the benefits of local governments to produce and use their own use.
Although the first pot of gold was not profitable enough, the victims were Baekje, Japan, and Martin, and they had nothing to do with them.
The changes in Jiangnan can be said to be a miracle, a miracle created by Li Yuanai.
All the civil and military officials in the court were convinced, and Shang Yang, Guan Zhong, and Zhuge Liang were all like this.
Such political achievements will be the greatest capital for Li Yuanai to gain a foothold in the temple in the future and the foundation for confronting Changsun Wuji.
Li Zhi was finally worried about Changsun Wuji.
"I've seen the prince!"
Li Yuanai and Xu Long said hello with fists.
Li Zhi squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "Uncle Sixteen, Aunt Sixteen, please give up the gift quickly. I have worked hard all the way. I am all my family, so you don't need to be polite."
Li Zhi stepped forward and helped Li Yuanai up.
Li Yuanai looked at the young man in front of him and seemed to have not changed much except for the beard growing on the corners of his mouth.
The twenty-two-year-old Li Zhi still looked as immature as before the ceremony. He seemed to be a little mature, but since he succeeded as the crown prince, the feeling has disappeared little by little. Judging from his appearance, Li Zhi did not inherit his father's heroic martial arts, but instead gave people the feeling of a little brother next door, and did not look like the crown prince of the world's strongest empire.
Li Yuanai knew very well how cunning the "little brother next door" in front of him was.
"Is the emperor okay?"
He asked.
Li Zhi shook his head slightly and said, "The Imperial Doctor has done his best. My father finally fell asleep, so don't disturb him. Let's wait here. Aunt Sixteen can go to Lizheng Hall to see Xiao Yizi. My father fell ill and her old illness was also caused. She should be happier when she knows you are back."
Li Yuanai's face suddenly changed. Xiao Yizi's old illness was asthma. If it really happened, it would be a life-threatening person.
Li Zhi hurriedly said: "It's okay, Xiao Yizi has been well treated in recent years and has said many times that she wants to go to Jiangnan. In addition to the fact that she wants to find a prince-consort for her, she pretended to be sick several times, and this time her father fell ill and became really sick, which was not serious. Sister Changle has been with her in the palace..."
Li Yuanai was worried, but he knew the importance of it. He asked Xu Long to set up the Zheng Palace and waited outside the hall with Li Zhi.
The atmosphere was very depressing. After many years of separation, Benyin said a lot.
But there is no way to start here.
"This time, my father really can't hold on!"
After Xu Long left for a while, Li Zhi said this in his mouth.
Li Yuanai was silent for a moment and said, "Your Highness takes care of himself, and it is normal for birth, old age, sickness and death. The emperor's life may be about to come to an end, but the glory he possesses and the career he has established, looking at the thousand-year history, can match it with Qin Emperor and Han Wu."
"Yes!" Li Zhi looked into the sky. His father might have stains that cannot be washed away, but his achievements are beyond doubt.
Why was the Zhenguan regime praised as a miracle?
It is because Li Shimin took over a ruined world with internal and external troubles.
Some people say that the Tang Dynasty's prosperity ate the legacy of the Sui Dynasty.
The demise of the Sui Dynasty was due to the aristocratic families.
The person who said this was completely useless.
It's really that good, will the world be in chaos?
The late Sui Dynasty was the dynasty with the largest number of peasant uprising troops in China's history, and there were as many as 100 peasant uprising leaders recorded in history.
Did the family members use swords to make them rebel?
In order to escape labor service in the Sui Dynasty, a good person broke his hands and feet, and laughed and said that he was blessed with great blessings. As long as he was disabled, he would not have to die.
What a cruel thing this is?
The Central Plains has no smoke, with a sharp drop from 8.9 million households to 2 million households, with a loss rate of nearly 70% of the population. In just eleven years, the number of population loss was twice that of the Five Barbarians invading China in more than 30 years.
Yang Guang may not be a foolish monarch, but his reputation as a tyrant is well deserved.
Taking over such a broken country, there is also a Turkic who wants to enter the Central Plains anytime and anywhere, holding 300,000 iron cavalry.
It took Li Shimin only ten years to conquer the situation of the nations coming to the court. In addition to the relatively wide economic situation in Jiangnan, other places are in a prosperous world.
Li Shimin's achievements in his 20 years of reign can be compared with Qin Emperor and Han Wu.
Facing such a father, Li Zhi was under a lot of pressure.
"It's great that you can go back to Beijing right away."
Li Zhi said this without any thoughts.
Li Yuanai felt inexplicably: "The emperor's brother is tolerant to me everywhere. He is in good health, so how can he not come? Besides, now is the time when the prince needs support the most."
Li Zhi opened the topic and said carelessly: "You did a good job in Jiangnan. Your father also said that you can open up a prosperous scene with the remote Jiangnan. Only sixteen people in the world can do it today. Jiangnan cannot do anything without you, and you have to be wronged to stay in the south for a few years. But do you have to do me a favor? I still lack some credible people. There are many talents in Jingji, and not many people dare to use them. I need a few trustworthy talents who can think of their arms."
Li Yuanai said with his hands together: "This is simple, Jiangnan has opened up the situation. The demand for talents is not that great. Liu Rengui, Shangguan Yi, and Lou Shide are all first-class good people, and Di Zhixun is also a hero of a generation. These four people are my left and right arms. The prince needs to choose at will, leaving me with only one person."
