What Li Yin asked Totas to do is actually very simple, that is, choose Datang Corporation as a partner, and use Datang Corporation as a middleman to export technology. In this way, the status of Datang Corporation will be elevated to a very high position .
Washing and dressing, Li Yin called Xia Yan to prepare her mentally. At this time, Kumasi also called, and the construction company had to be punished.
Now that Totas has come, Li Yin has basically settled his own affairs in modern times, and Datang Corporation will definitely be pushed to the top of the world in the future. This can be regarded as his report to Xia Yan for his service over the years. After all, the Datang Company at this time already belonged to her in name, and Li Yin was only a shareholder.
As soon as Kumasi's people arrived, Li Yin took them back to the airport and returned to Somalia. At this time, Xia Yan was nervously receiving senior officials from the government. She couldn't imagine how Li Yin did all this Yes, but at this moment, there is only joy in her heart, and this dilutes the disappointment brought to her by Li Yin's departure again, but she also understands that when Li Yin hands over the company to her, it is destined to be like this It worked out.
When Vertex Novel returned to the underground base, Li Yin and Li Ran chatted for a while. From Li Yin's voice, Li Ran keenly realized that Li Yin might no longer care about modern things in the future, and just regarded this place as a trading station. And once Datang's living standard improves to a certain level, he may close this trade site, and have severed the connection with modern times ever since.
Li Ran's guess is exactly Li Yin's thoughts. He no longer has any nostalgia for the modern age, but after staying in the modern age for a long time, he feels more and more that he is far away from this era, and he is not very comfortable all over.
After the two talked for a while, Li Yin left Somalia and returned to Chang'an on the special plane. Looking at the pristine natural scenery, Li Yin was in a good mood. He thought it would be more comfortable here, and it would be better for him to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty with peace of mind.
As soon as he returned to Daming Palace, Li Yin was caught by Cui Yingying who came after hearing the news. Li Yin left these days, she and Concubine Yang have been discussing about the draft, and now the beautiful women who came from all over the country have gathered in Chang'an . After careful selection by Concubine Yang and them, she has already entered the palace.
Li Yin secretly thought that this speed is really fast enough, and asked: "Have all the colonies been selected?"
"Well, Japan, Silla, Persia, and Dashi Kingdom have all sent princesses from various countries into the palace. Among the five surnames and seven kings, the Cui family has me in the palace now, but none of the other six prominent families have sent women into the palace. Bazhu Kingdom selected a few good ones to enter the palace." Cui Yingying frowned slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, the other six elders are too much. Do you think that the Li family depends on their faces? "
Li Yin was also a little surprised by this result, but it made sense after he thought about it, except for Cui Shi who was tied to Li Yin's chariot. The relationship between other Liuwang and Li Yin has always been close, but private marriages are more frequent than before, which makes Li Yin very vigilant. That's why in this draft, such attention was deliberately made to test the reaction of the powerful and noble families.
"Last time in the corruption incident, many officials of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs lost their heads, and the power in the court has further declined. This is a good thing for the court's rule, but it has indeed offended many nobles. The officials are all the best in their clan, so it's normal to feel resentful." Li Yin said in a deep voice.
Li Yin shook his head, "In the past, I gave them a lot of benefits in order to win them over, but with the economic development of the Tang Dynasty, these benefits have become insignificant, and the most important point is that the most important thing for these gentry clansmen is the imperial court. Now I have cut off their thoughts step by step, and if they don’t say anything, they probably hate me in their hearts! People always hold grudges but don’t remember them.”
Cui Yingying no longer asked about these things in the court, she turned around and said: "Your Majesty, let's not talk about these unpleasant things anymore. Do you want to see these new talents in the palace?"
"I don't need it for the time being. You and the concubine will give them the status of talents and noble concubines according to their backgrounds." Li Yin said, these people are female officials in the palace. manage some affairs.
Cui Yingying nodded yes, then went to the back, Li Yin turned around and went to the front hall, and sent someone to call Li Rui over, now she has replaced Su Mo'er and took full charge of the shadow guards, Li Yin took over the inner guards It was also given to her to be in charge of the intelligence department to secretly monitor Datang's activities.
"Your Majesty." After a while, Li Rui, who was dressed as a lady, came to Li Yin's study, and saluted when she saw Li Yin.
Already familiar with this personal butler, Li Yin said: "There is no need to salute, I always feel a little uneasy about what those old gentry are doing recently."
"A few days ago, Changsun Wuji and the Eight Pillars Kingdom got together once. Elder Changsun Ge warned the Eight Pillars Kingdom not to mix with other gentry, and other old gentry still communicate frequently in private, but The Lu family recently purchased a large amount of gunpowder in the name of mining rocks. As far as we know, these gunpowders were not used in mining. We are currently tracking where they went, but they seem to know the existence of our shadow guards. They are all very careful, and these old nobles have recruited many craftsmen who have worked in Yizhou workshops into their factories over the years, and they have recruited many students to their factories at a high price." Li Rui said .
Li Yin frowned. From Li Rui's words, it seemed that these old nobles were doing business legally, but the others didn't matter. It was a problem for them to recruit craftsmen and students from Yizhou. After Taoyuan moved away, it wasn't Every craftsman went to Ryukyu, and some of the craftsmen with rough skills were dismissed. Although these people did not master superb skills, they still had two brushes in their hands, especially the craftsmen who had worked in the arsenal. Original firearms are produced.
"Contact Li Ran, use the satellite system, and be sure to get all the information about their factories." Li Min said, not to mention whether these old nobles would unite to rebel, even illegal production of weapons is not something he would like to see. Come here and understand what the consequences of the proliferation of guns will be in this era. With the financial resources of these old gentry, as long as they have guns, they can definitely form an army by themselves. After all, they have no shortage of clansmen. During these years, Li Yin After analyzing the reason why these gentry clans have big tails, in his opinion, these old gentry clans are somewhat similar to Somali tribes. In a certain state or county, the prominent clans can be said to indirectly rule this place.
Although Li Yin attacked their influence in the court, they are still deeply rooted in the local area, and the economic development of the Tang Dynasty has benefited many people, but for the old gentry who had financial resources from the beginning, they benefited more. Li Yin has always hoped that they would transform from nobles into businessmen like the Dou family in Yizhou, and do business with peace of mind, but this may just be his wishful thinking.
Li Rui nodded, and Li Yin's words sounded again, "If you find anything unusual, tell me in time, but don't take any action, lest you startle the snake."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Rui said.
In addition to the situation of the gentry, Li Rui told Li Yin about other things, including the things in the colonies, which were still the same as before. Except for some small-scale rebellions, there were basically no other major issues in these colonies. However, the cultural education in Datang is also going on normally, but this is a slow process, and Li Min does not expect it to be effective in a short time. It is estimated that at least three generations later, the mainstream people in these places will be recognized by Da Tang. Tang's cultural assimilation, now it is still necessary for Tang to supervise these places, and they cannot be completely left alone. (To be continued..)
