    All the main officials of the imperial court were replaced by Li Min, which made Li Min bear a lot less government affairs. After all, government management robots would not betray Li Min, and they were very good at various government affairs issues. Li Min could do it  Entrusting government affairs to them without having to interfere with everything. In the past, Li Min had some doubts about robots managing the country, but the success of Somalia proved that this was feasible.  In this anti-corruption operation, fewer officials were dismissed from Yizhou than from the Chang'an faction. This was the only thing worthy of Li Min's gratification, but Tong Nian, a veteran who had been with him for more than ten years, was  It was discovered that the amount of bribes he had accepted was huge, which made Li Min feel sad and resentful at the same time. But no matter what, Tong Nian had been with him for more than ten years. After thinking about it, Li Min finally pardoned his capital crime and exiled him.  When I arrived in Ryukyu, I announced that I would never be hired.  After a bloody storm passed, other officials who had withstood the test were also sweating. They and these new bosses returned to busy government affairs and continued to be busy with Datang's future development plan. At this time, Li Min also began to  Busy with an internal royal matter.  "King Wu Li Ke comes to see the emperor!" On this day, Li Min was reviewing memorials in the study. After the eunuch announced, he led someone in.  After hearing this, Li Min stood up and helped Li Ke up, saying: "Third brother, there is no need to be polite." Now that this younger brother has ascended the throne as emperor, his elder brother is naturally very happy, but he also understands that a king is a king and a minister is a minister, and said:  "Your Majesty, there is a difference between a monarch and his subjects. The Emperor should call me King Wu." Li Min asked Li Ke to sit down on the sofa and smiled helplessly: "Well, you and your mother are the same, and you have to call me the Emperor." "  Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. Naturally, you can't yell randomly. Your Majesty, I don't know why you brought me here from Jingzhou." After receiving the notice, Li Ke rushed from Jingzhou to Chang'an.  Li Min said: "King Wu has managed Jingzhou in an orderly manner over the years. Now I have a more important place to hand over to you. I don't know if you are willing to do it. Besides you, I plan to send all the princes Li Zhi to other places recently."  When my father abdicates, I trust you and I think it¡¯s time.¡± Although Jingzhou has developed well in recent years relying on the convenience of Yizhou, Li Ke always feels that Jingzhou has encountered development problems.  The reason for the bottleneck is that the population in Jingzhou is too small.  It seriously restricted development. He felt that Jingzhou was like this for the time being, and wanted to change places, so he said: "All the princes are now academically successful, and they are all relatives of the emperor. It's time to share the emperor's worries and take on some government affairs, sir.  I am also willing to share the emperor's worries, but I don't know where the emperor is going to send his ministers?" Li Min stood up and walked towards a modern map. Li Ke followed Li Min and also looked at the huge map on the wall.  The map is the same as that of Datang, but the cities marked on the map are indeed a bit strange. For example, the place Yizhou became Sichuan Province.  Jingzhou became Hubei Province, Chang'an became Shanxi Province, and some unfamiliar city names appeared.  "What's going on, Your Majesty?" Li Ke asked suspiciously, looking at the map.  Li Min smiled.  With the development of the Tang Dynasty, many things were no longer suitable for the Tang Dynasty, including the division of prefectures and counties, as well as the division of roads, which should be eliminated, so the modern map was slightly modified and brought out. In the future, the map of the Tang Dynasty  The administrative areas will be re-divided, which will make it easier to manage, because many places in the Tang Dynasty have not yet been divided into specific areas.  Especially for the administrative division of Yunnan and Guizhou, including Ryukyu, there is no specific administrative division.  "This is the new administrative region map of the Tang Dynasty. Soon the Tang Dynasty will cancel the division of east roads such as Hedong Road and Jiannan Road." Li Ke looked at the map carefully and found that the map was really very specific.  Including every highway is clearly marked, and it is clear at a glance, "What do the provinces and cities, Your Highness, mean?" "This is too complicated. I will prepare an explanation for you later for you to read carefully. Let's talk about you.  Let's take a post." Li Min pointed to a place, "In view of the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty and the sparse population, I decided to focus on dividing some key residential areas, which will also facilitate the construction of public facilities. Among them, Yizhou, Chang'an, Guangzhou,  Luoyang, Youzhou (Beijing), Yangzhou, Suzhou, Dengzhou and other places, and one of them is still very backward compared with these places, but this place has great potential, because with the advent of the maritime era, coastal areas  The city must prosper, and this is the place." Li Ke looked at the place Li Min pointed at and said, "Shanghai?" Then he asked doubtfully, "Isn't this place Huating County?" Li Min nodded.  Nodding, during the Tang Dynasty, there was no place named Shanghai, but it was called Huating County. It was not until the Song Dynasty that it was called Shanghai Town. "This is the new name of this place."   "The emperor asked me to serve in this place?" Li Ke frowned. This place is just a small fishing village. If he didn't know Li Min, he would have thought that Li Min would change his direction and exile him to this place.  "Yes, next, Datang will have a relocation operation. I will move some people from remote villages to these places, because in these mountainous areas, building roads, circuits and other facilities for more than a dozen people wastes too much resources.  Big, these people will move to Shanghai to promote the development there. I know this job is very difficult, but among all the princes, I think you are the only one who can do it, but don't worry, I will provide all the resources you need.  "Provide it first." Li Min said. It was too difficult to find people with prestige and ability at this time, so Li Min thought of Li Ke. Moreover, coming from later generations, Li Min understood that the transfer of economic centers to the coast was an inevitable process, and  He is just speeding up the process.  "The emperor's words are enough, which shows that I am still of some use to the Tang Dynasty." Li Ke chuckled, "I knew that the emperor was very interested in this when he brought the shipyard in Yizhou to this place.  I don¡¯t think I thought it was right. However, the emperor doesn¡¯t know if he can promise me one thing.¡± Li Ke¡¯s words basically meant he accepted the job. Li Min said, ¡°You can do it even if you say so.¡±  I will definitely not refuse." After thinking for a moment, Li Ke said: "Now that maritime trade is prevalent, it is only a matter of time before the coastal cities prosper. However, compared with Ryukyu's developed maritime transportation, Shanghai currently has no advantages. Therefore, if His Highness can bring all the states together,  If the county road is paved to Shanghai and a large seaport is built in Shanghai, the development of this place will not be a problem. "Li Ke is very smart. When the roads converge to Shanghai, many merchants can transfer goods to Shanghai through land, and large-scale seaports will be built in Shanghai."  The seaport can ensure that these goods can be sold to the world through Shanghai, which can promote the development of Shanghai and even attract a large number of businessmen to build factories in Shanghai.  Li Min thought for a while and agreed to Li Ke's request without hesitation. It was inevitable to strengthen the construction of coastal cities, and Li Min was willing to spend the money. After all, Datang is now a real maritime overlord, and there are not many decent ones.  How can this be done in coastal cities?  The two discussed the matter, and Li Min chatted with Li Ke about some things. Then Li Ke got up and went to Cining Palace to visit Concubine Yang. Li Ke accepted the construction of Shanghai, and Li Min began to think about how to build Shanghai.  Assign official positions to princes like Li Zhi, Li Yun, and Li Zhen. These three guys have now received more than ten years of modern education. After all, they are considered talents in the Tang Dynasty. It is time to use them, and now the Tang army  The political and legal affairs were completely independent, and Li Min was not afraid of them messing around when they got there, because he was not worried that they would conspire against him. The work he was asked to undertake was only government affairs. They were not allowed to interfere in military affairs, and if they were in government affairs, they were not allowed to interfere.  If they are not up to the task, Li Min plans to simply let them eat, drink and have fun for the rest of their lives. This will be considered worthy of Li Shimin, and his brother has done his best, and no one can say anything at that time.  (To be continued)
