Watching his daughter leave, His Majesty Li Er looked at the hesitant Yang Fan with a smile and asked: "Why, we have a deep love for each other as father and daughter, but we have joined forces to bully you. How dare you have any objection?"

Yang Fan curled his lips: "How dare you, my son?"

The meaning is obvious, it's not that I don't have it, but I don't dare to.

Seeing Yang Fan's depressed look, His Majesty Li Er was obviously in a good mood and couldn't help but laugh.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have it or if you don’t dare, you have to endure it no matter what!

He raised his hand and motioned for Yang Fan to sit at the bottom, and then asked: "I will go to Jiangnan after the new year. Do you have any plans to deal with it?"

When it came to the topic, Yang Fan looked solemn and said: "Not only are there many noble families in Jiangnan, but there are also some Shanyue people who are not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court and the local area. It is difficult for them to have a high sense of belonging to the imperial court."

"Of course, this is not unbreakable. As long as Your Majesty is willing to delegate power, I will be able to defeat them one by one, and even make them submissive and willing to be driven by the imperial court."

Shanyue is the general name for the descendants of the Guyue people who were distributed in mountainous areas such as Jiangnan Road (today's Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, and Fujian) during the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, and is a branch of Shanyue.

As a result of the long-term ethnic integration since the Qin and Han Dynasties, Shanyue is no longer much different from the Han people, including some Han people who entered the mountains to avoid government taxes and servitude.

These people had a very low sense of belonging to the imperial court. Li Er sent Zhang Liang to encircle and suppress the Shanyue people several times, hoping to get these people to live out of the mountains and accept the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but the effect was not very good.

Now Yang Fan says it can be easily solved,

His Majesty Li Er was of course shocked.

Qing Qing thought that this kid didn't know the complicated situation over there and had no plan. Now it seems that Yang Fan is obviously well prepared.

Sure enough, I didn’t let myself down!

As an emperor, he certainly knew the complexity of the land south of the Yangtze River.

Not only were the gentry rampant, but there were also numerous bandits. Therefore, the imperial court's control over Jiangnan was very weak.

Yang Fan was so understated that Li Er was surprised and a little suspicious at the same time.

This problem has been left over for a long time. Can Yang Fan really solve it easily?

If it were that simple, wouldn't it make other people look incompetent?

Thinking of this, Li Er couldn't help but asked: "What can I do?"

Yang Fan confidently said: "For the Jiangnan gentry, we must win over some and suppress some. As for the mountains and bandits, those who obey will prosper, those who resist will perish, and those who disobey must be suppressed with thunderous means. Of course, the premise of all this is that Your Majesty will allow

I have sufficient authority."

After hearing Yang Fan's words, His Majesty Li Er hesitated!

If this approach is followed, the land south of the Yangtze River may usher in a bloody storm.

It would be good if it succeeds, then the imperial court will be able to firmly hold the land south of the Yangtze River in its hands.

If it fails, the court will inevitably experience turmoil.

As an emperor, and striving to become the first emperor throughout the ages, Li Erxia was of course not willing to have China emerge under his rule.

Moreover, only by completely controlling the land south of the Yangtze River can he carry out the Eastern Expedition without any worries.

After all, the land of Jiangnan is rich in food. Only with Jiangnan's full support can the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Although Yang Fan has developed a high-yielding crop like Zhenguan sweet potato, it will take five or ten years to fully promote it.

It's been such a long time, and His Majesty Li Er certainly doesn't want to wait any longer.

The most important thing is that Li Er has felt that he has some physical problems recently.

It turns out that as long as you take Fanseng's pills, you will be energetic for most of the day.

Nowadays, taking pills can only last for one or two hours, and people are very tired after the effects of the medicine wear off.

Although Li Er knew there was something wrong with the pill, unfortunately, he could no longer get rid of his dependence on the pill.

In order to realize the dream of one emperor through the ages, only by raising materials for the Eastern Expedition as soon as possible can this goal be achieved.

Then, the land south of the Yangtze River is particularly important.

The amount of grain and grass supplies required for the Eastern Expedition to Goryeo must be astronomical, and this was only possible with the full support of the fertile Jiangnan.

His Majesty Li Er also gave Yang Fan careful consideration when asking him to go to the south of the Yangtze River this time.

Only people like Yang Fan, who are unconstrained and unconventional, can break the status quo in Jiangnan.

As a result, His Majesty Li Er gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I will give you the maximum room to perform. I hope you will not disappoint me."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that your trip to Jiangnan will not disappoint you. If there are no accidents, there may be unexpected gains!" Yang Fan endured the joy in his heart and patted his chest to assure him.

"Oh? Lian is waiting!"

After saying that, an old man and a young man chatted happily in the Ganlu Hall, making creepy laughter from time to time.

This made the chambermaids and maids waiting outside curious.

This prince-in-law is indeed extraordinary. I have never seen any courtier or prince-in-law so popular with His Majesty!

Even Changsun Wuji, his uncle, was not so close to the emperor, right?

After talking for a while, His Majesty Li Er seemed very satisfied and said with a smile: "Then I will wait for the good news. I hope you will not disappoint me. After you return home, the imperial edict will be delivered soon. What you said... I will let you

Someone will arrange to have it delivered to you."

"In addition, the New Year is approaching. During this period, you should spend this time at home with Changle and Gao Yang. There will be no need to come to court every day. After the Lantern Festival, you will be ready to set off."

After speaking, Li Er waved his hands slightly tiredly and said nothing more.

"promise!"
