When the flood in Huainan reached Li Yuan'ai's ears, he was not in Hangzhou, but in Quanzhou.

Quanzhou has changed a lot today. With the passage of shipping, merchants from Southeast Asian countries have begun to open stores in Quanzhou. As the routes are confirmed, the safety factor has increased, and the merchants from Japan, Baekje and Silla have also traveled to and from ports in the two places.

This increase in economic interests will naturally attract batches of people to relocate to Quanzhou in order to achieve better development.

Just as Li Yuanai said, some of them are stubborn and unwilling to migrate, and they are stubbornly guarding their own acre of three parts of the land without having to force them.

When the time comes, they have to move and they will regret it.

When Li Yuanai designed Quanzhou, he designed it based on the living concepts of later generations. The clinics, schools, markets, and accommodation are one after another, and the comfort and comfort of living should be. As long as there are people, they will not have to worry about staying in at all.

It turned out that the imperial court had subsidies for relocation, but now the conditions are a little short of the time, they are not qualified to enter the city center at all.

The development of this economy is difficult or not, it is simple and very simple.

As long as the economy is good and there is enough employment space, people will naturally come to hear about it. Some people have the value of development and economic foundation, which are linked together.

Relying on shipping, Quanzhou has become the largest economic port in the Tang Dynasty, with tax revenues that are better than Jiangnan, and are slightly better than Suzhou today.

The main reason is that Li Yuanai shared the cotton seeds.

This is also a helpless thing. The interests of cotton have been known to the Tang Dynasty.

Jiangnan cannot monopolize for a long time. Jiangnan has already gained dividends and should give benefits to other places.

The Feng Shui treasure land of Suhu is really used to grow cotton, so the court must be anxious.

This lost the monopoly of cotton and the economy inevitably declined.

All of these were expected. As early as five years ago, Li Yuanai and Liu Rengui expected this move and made preparations in advance.

Using Su embroidery as the foundation, high-end cotton coats, quilts, and even wedding clothes and quilts are sewn to form a set of industries.

Even if the cotton seeds are divided, most of them are still recycled by Suzhou merchants.

Although the inability to monopolize caused a certain loss to Suzhou, it facilitated the world. Suzhou's textile industry began to support half of the sky, and its economic behavior was not affected.

Li Yuanai left Hangzhou to welcome the prince-consort Bafa Valman of Zhenla Kingdom.

Unlike the custom of passing on sons and not daughters in China, Zhen La Kingdom does not pay so much attention to the inheritance of the throne.

Daughter and son-in-law have the power to inherit as long as they are direct relatives.

The son-in-law Bafa Valman was a famous benevolent lord in Zhenla Kingdom and was recognized as the next king of Zhenla Kingdom.

Since the Tang Dynasty signed grain trade exchanges with Zhenla Kingdom, the relationship between the two countries has risen sharply and entered a honeymoon period.

Zhenla Kingdom is located in a tropical monsoon climate, and it is divided into three seasons: heat, rain and drought throughout the year, and there is no distinction between spring, summer, autumn and winter.

This unique environment, coupled with the abundant land along the Chao Phraya River, gives Zhen La the conditions to become an agricultural power.

However, at this time, Zhenla had insufficient population and insufficient demand for food, which wasted such a Feng Shui treasure land.

Since the Tang Dynasty successfully opened the sea and deepened its exchanges with Southeast Asian countries, the rice of Zhenla Kingdom was immediately famous in Jiangnan.

Faced with the seemingly unlimited purchase of rice in the Tang Dynasty, the Zhenla Kingdom's economy grew exponentially and began to encourage the people to farm, exporting food to the Tang Dynasty in exchange for various extravagant daily necessities.

Bafa Valman is responsible for making friendly exchanges with Li Yuanai. In recent years, he often travels across the sea. In name, it is to exchange feelings, but in fact it is to eat, drink and have fun.

Except for rice, Zhenla has a congenital climate advantage, where can it compare with the Tang Dynasty?

The rice from Zhenla was imported, which reduced a lot of food pressure to the Tang Dynasty.

Especially after Li Zhi ascended the throne, he felt like he had bad luck, and there were natural disasters every year.

The court is exempt from taxes and disaster relief. Without the support of real rice, food supply will be problems.

Li Yuanai understood why Chen Shuozhen rebelled in history.

Although Li Zhi ascended the throne and focused on resting and recuperation, the years of natural disasters still added a considerable burden to the court. The situation in Jiangnan in history was naturally worse.

Therefore, for Bafa Valman, every time he came to Jiangnan, Li Yuanai personally welcomed him to accompany him.

This kind of win-win diplomatic relations is worthy of careful maintenance.

Seeing Bafa Valman appearing at the bow of the boat with an umbrella, Li Yuanai laughed and said, "The Prince of Warman promised to go to Qinhuai together in August..." He suddenly saw a woman with wheat-colored skin in gold and silver beside Bafa Valman, and immediately said, "Why are you playing polo in the grassland? How many days later?"

Bafa Valman responded loudly: "My wife also wants to see the prosperous Tang Dynasty, so she is late, and I hope to forgive her sins."

Li Yuanai heard a hint of emotion in his tone and laughed silently. It was probably because this wife Guan Yan had to pass through the border three or four times a year, which had already aroused his wife's suspicion.

The official boat docked.

Bafa Valman and Princess Zhenla went forward to salute.

"Have you met the King of Wu!"

Li Yuanai was the prince of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom, and his status was equivalent to that of the king of the vassal state. Before Bafa Valman became the king of Zhenla, his status was at the bottom of Li Yuanai.

"Mr. Concubine, princess, don't need much politeness!" Li Yuanai looked at Princess Zhenla and praised with a smile: "I heard the princess talk about his wife as the pearl of Zhenla Kingdom many times. I didn't believe it before. If there was such a beautiful lady, would she come to Jiangnan to play polo with a group of us men? When I saw the real person today, I realized that what the princess said was true."

Princess Zhenla was filled with joy when she heard this and gave Bafa Valman a look of your cognitive expression.

Bafa Valman carried Princess Zhenla on her back and bowed deeply to Li Yuanai.

Li Yuanai quickly turned down their original itinerary and said, "Why don't you watch the Qiantang tide when you come to Jiangnan? Polo can be postponed, but the Qiantang tide can be outdated."

The Qiantang tide is not the same as before.

After the completion of the Sea-Shaan Dike, it successfully resisted the August tide.

Now, there is no need to hide on the mountain to watch the tide, but stand on the embankment and watch it up close.

I saw the surging waves rushing towards me, and then stirred up thousands of splashes, and the water droplets fell like raindrops. The feeling was far from comparable to those from a high place and a distance.

Even if you watch the trend in the past, it is a fashion, and now it is a holiday-like day, which is a grand occasion.

Especially since the recent rains are indecisive, the wave this year must be bigger and more dangerous than before.

They rested in Quanzhou for a while, had lunch, and took a boat to return to Hangzhou.

As soon as Li Yuanai got off the boat, he received news of the flood in Huainan.

The person who came to report was Di Zhixun. His eyes were filled with bloodshot and he said, "The floods occurred in the Jianghuai River, especially Suzhou, Qi County, Fuli, and Bozhou. The most serious ones were lost in contact with many counties."

Li Yuanai said in shock: "How could this be?"

Di Zhixun said anxiously: "I don't know the reason. This flood has not happened for a century and is extremely serious."

Li Yuanai immediately ordered: "Transfer grain from Jiangnan to Jinling..." The court did not issue an order to provide disaster relief, and he had no right to interfere in his duties.

However, transferring grain to Jinling, which is closest to the disaster area, is not overwhelming.
