In the long wind and waves, a huge fleet sailed from the vast sea.
These ships were all of the same standard.
A ferocious horn on the long and narrow bow shone coldly in the sun.
On the three tall masts, the sails were spread.
Opening, sweeping away the endless sea breeze, the hull broke through the sea, stirring up white waves.
Dozens of long poles stretched out from both sides of each ship, paddling the water, allowing the ship to move quickly.
At the junction of the sea and the sky, a small black shadow began to appear.
That was the real destination this time, an island in the vast waves of the East China Sea.
Green trees covered this small island, on the blue sea, Like an emerald green pearl.
The island is long and narrow, surrounded by the sea and surrounded by golden beaches.
It is not very big.
The longest part is less than twenty miles.
The narrow area is only five or six miles.
The whole island is like a curve.
Like a crescent moon, it lies across the blue sea, with countless lush trees hiding its true face.
As the ship moved forward, he gradually became able to see things clearly on the island.
Li Kuan looked at the exquisite stilted buildings on the beach on one side and knew that he had arrived at the right destination.
On the beach, a ship was docked, some big and some small, but all of them were flying flags, which were a crescent moon.
The moon-white crescent moon stood out very prominently on the dark red silk cloth.
This flag It is no stranger to the sailors on the ship on Li Kuan's side, because every year ships flying such flags go to Cangzhou for trade.
Cangzhou is located in the bitter cold land of the Northeast and does not produce much food.
Therefore, these ships flying the crescent flag all sent boatloads of food in exchange for some specialties near Cangzhou.
Although such ships do not appear often, Cangzhou people cheer every time they appear.
As long as it appears once, countless people will no longer face the threat of hunger during that period of time.
The ship docked.
Li Kuan and the others finally reached their destination after their escape this time, and everyone in the group felt very excited.
But on the other side, he was not so happy.
In Chang'an City, Li Er was losing his temper.
This time he was really angry.
He never expected that this boy Li Kuan would leave like this and leave a mess in Cangzhou.
This prompted the imperial court to do something.
Sun Chong, the newly sent governor of Cangzhou, even came to the table one after another, hoping that the imperial court would provide relief.
Because the people in Cangzhou are so angry that a civil uprising may occur at any time.
This is not a false report, because when Li Kuan was in office, the people in Cangzhou could work on his construction site every day to obtain the food they needed to survive.
Now that Li Kuan has left However, the new governor directly shut down those factories.
Then the people of Cangzhou just went to a source of food.
How could the people of Cangzhou give up after they had already tasted the benefits.
So they gathered in front of the Cangzhou Governor's Mansion to ask for an explanation.
The state capital of Cangzhou was established a hundred years ago.
A hundred years ago, the people here came from all over the world to avoid being bullied.
Therefore, they are very tough towards other people.
This environment has created Cangzhou's tough folk customs.
Countless Cangzhou people are real warriors who dare to face the dripping blood.
They are not afraid of what the officers and soldiers will do to them because they are not tough in this land.
They could only be bullied, so countless people faced off against the guards in front of the Cangzhou Governor's Mansion, and the situation was extremely dangerous.

On the verge of breaking out.
"You bastard is really pissing me off."
Li Er didn't know how many things he had thrown.
In these few days, the situation in Cangzhou took a turn for the worse.
When Li Kuan was there, countless people supported the imperial court, because They can have enough food and clothing, but now countless people are besieging the government because they don't have enough to eat.
Such things can only happen in such a place, and only such tough people dare to make such straightforward statements to the court.
Therefore, faced with such a confrontation that directly faced the people's hearts, Changsun Chong, the young governor, was really at his wits' end.
He didn't know where Li Kuan got the food from, but he actually insisted on feeding tens of thousands of people in Cangzhou for half a year.
Even when this guy left, he filled all the official warehouses in Cangzhou.
Where did so much food come from?
The imperial court did not allocate much food to Cangzhou during this period.
Li Kuan got all these things by himself.
What should he, the person who took over, do?
So Changsun Chong had no choice but to I had no choice but to write a letter to my father to complain.
Let his father, who is now a very popular minister, help find a way.
So Changsun Wuji now appeared in front of Li Er, but he knew that Li Er had been in a bad mood during this period, all because of the incident in Cangzhou.
So he quietly went to the Liangyi Palace and invited the woman who could temporarily calm the angry dragon.
The year before last, Empress Changsun gave birth to Li Er's 23rd daughter Jinyang Princess Li Mingda, also known as Xiao Sizi.
After giving birth to this little princess, her body and bones were not as good as before.
Despite Sun Simiao's careful conditioning, But it's still not as energetic as before.
In the past two years, she has gradually faded away from the affairs of the court.
Although she never asked about these matters before, she would make suggestions and provide reference opinions for Li Er from time to time.
But now she has completely let go and stays in the palace every day. , carefully taking care of Xiao Sizi’s daily life.
She ignored all the storms and waves in the court.
Even if Li Er came to her, she would not ask any more questions.
She would just use her gentleness to soothe Li Er's sorrow.
Had it not been for Changsun Wuji personally coming to the door this time and asking her to help her nephew and son-in-law, she would not have appeared in front of the Zhengzheng Palace.
"Your Majesty, Lord Changsun Wuji wishes to see you."
Xiao Huangmen took advantage of Li Er's breathing opportunity to sit on the dragon chair and softly conveyed the news of Changsun Wuji's request, and then bowed and waited.
"Changsun Wuji, why he came here at this time must be a matter of Cangzhou.
How could there be such a big disturbance in Cangzhou?"
Li Er rubbed his temples tiredly: "Let him come in."
"My slave obeys the decree."
Xiao Huangmen hurriedly stepped back and announced the decree.
Fortunately, the emperor did not get angry this time, which is really great.
Several colleagues had been punished by the emperor before, and one was even beaten to death with a cane.
This made all the Xiaohuangmen who served Li Er feel in danger, but they dared not not go.
In this world where life and death are controlled by others.
In the palace, this person is the one who cannot be offended the most, so every Xiaohuangmen approaches Li Er cautiously, and then leaves with their backs soaked.
"My lord, Changsun Wuji has met the Emperor."
Changsun Wuji strode forward and saluted Li Er.
"Okay, auxiliary machine.
Is that boy Changsun Chong crying in Cangzhou again?
This matter is really difficult.
It's not the autumn harvest yet, and there is a food shortage all over the country.

How can Cangzhou provide so much food?
However, a state or county with a population of tens of thousands actually needs hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain, almost ten thousand tons of grain.
Where can such a large amount of grain be allocated?"
Mr.
Li Erxian After speaking, Changsun Wuji blocked what he wanted to say.
Cangzhou has now become the most troublesome place in the Tang Dynasty.
The people here can really do things to attack the imperial government, because they are used to being subjected to He directly resists when he thinks he is being treated unfairly.
This is also the place where the court dares not be careless.
If you are not careful, it will be a disaster.
"Your Majesty, if this continues, Cangzhou will really not be able to hold on.
Now in Cangzhou City, although the grain stored in the official warehouses was replenished when King Chu left, the people all over the city are waiting for the grain from the government these days.
The relief has been almost exhausted now, plus because of the previous King of Chu.
Due to the fishing promoted by His Highness, not many people will be able to grow food, so Cangzhou's production will definitely decrease this year.
Therefore, the food gap in this area of Cangzhou will be very large by then. ."
Changsun Wuji saw it thoroughly and spoke eloquently.
"Auxiliary machine, I know all this, but in this huge country, there is no need for food.
Why is Cangzhou alone in need of so much food?
In the end, all this is a good thing done by that boy Li Kuan.
He raised these unruly people.
Okay, how great is this going on?
In response to the requests of these unruly people, the imperial court will You must never compromise."
Li Er made up his mind, and even he had already made up his mind.
If the situation here really got out of hand, then he could only suppress it forcefully.
There are still countless strongmen and bandits in this land.
It is the duty of the Tang Dynasty army to eradicate these cancers.
Just when Li Er had a headache and Chang Sun Chong had an even worse headache, a sailboat flying the crescent moon flag came to this land that attracted everyone's attention.
This time it not only brought a ship full of food, but also a The news is that the Mingyue Chamber of Commerce is recruiting sailors and the benefits are generous.
The people of Cangzhou, who were worrying about food, showed unparalleled enthusiasm at this time, because who was recruiting this time was the Mingyue Chamber of Commerce, which sells food.
How could such a big grain merchant be short of food, so he would eat just to support his family?
After having enough food, countless young people from Cangzhou went to the office of the Chamber of Commerce to sign up.
No one knows what kind of condition the sailors recruited this time will be in when they appear again in the future.
What kind of lives countless people in Cangzhou will live after this recruitment.
But Li Kuan, who is now on Crescent Island, is very happy, because this time he is truly out of Li Er's sight, and he can do the things he had planned before without restraint.
The first step is to recruit a team of his own, and then establish his own power on the sea, and then step by step he can realize his ambition that has gradually accumulated over the years
