He left behind Huang Can, Zhou Ning, Chen Guoting, Liu Wei, Li Bi and others, with 180 students from Jixia Academy, Li Qingzhao, Li Jing and some barges to Guangdong and Guangxi.

"Li Jing, can we go south and win Guangdong and Guangxi?"

The Shandong court officials who followed Zhu Lian to supervise the country were very excited about taking over the Fujian route, including those students from Jixia Academy.

Watching the fleet set off, Zhu Lian asked Li Jing with a smile.

"The Xuanfusi of Guangnan West Road can be in Guizhou!"

Li Jing also laughed. Guizhou is not close to the coastline. It is even further away to control Guilin than to control several states in the hinterland of Fujian.

"We can't control Guangnan West Road, we can take Guangnan East Road, right?"

"Empress, we are not in a hurry. Let's take a look when we arrive in Guangzhou!"

You should know that in history, Guangnan East Road in the Northern Song Dynasty, there are two different things to do with Guangnan East Road in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Jingkang Incident made the prosperous Bianliang a ruin, and the golden dog burned, killed and looted the north.

Almost all the people north of the north bank of the Yangtze River were suffering, including Zhao Gou's escape route to the mountains and seas. The Song people who were threatened with life were moving south and taking refuge.

Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road are the places to benefit.

Suddenly there were a lot of people.

Originally, the marine trade in Guangdong and Guangzhou in the Northern Song Dynasty was very developed, which led to a series of production around marine trade. The locals on Guangnan East Road were more willing to engage in marine trade or production around marine trade.

Although the farming conditions in this area are very good, few locals work hard like farmers in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian. They are more willing to open workshops or be friends. After all, being farmers is hard and unable to make money.

Many people can't imagine it.

The more than one million people near Guangzhou are unable to maintain their own food and have to transport grain from Guilin.

The point is that it is not cost-effective to transport the merchants in Guangzhou from grain prices to floor prices, from Guilin, where farming costs are all the money, to Guangzhou, where rice prices are expensive.

The real prosperity of Guangdong and Guangxi started in the Jingkang crisis. Countless northern Song people moved south, followed by the Mongolian Yuan. The Song people who crossed the river moved south again. The small court went to Guangnan East Road to survive.

The so-called Hakka people migrated to Guangdong and Guangxi for more than a hundred years.

What is the situation when Li Jing faces Guangnan East Road?

Zong Ze, Wang Shan, Yue Fei, Zhang Suo and Guan Sheng built a solid defense line in the north and south of the Yellow River.

Except for Bianliang, near Yingtian, Hedong Road, Hebei West Road, Damingfu Road, and other places have not suffered military disasters at all.

You should know that in an era when boats and ships were not developed, not to mention the lack of aircraft, high-speed rail, and even railways, how difficult it is to migrate.

If you are going to have family members, you must abandon the expensive furniture and houses in your home.

What is discarded is wealth passed down from generation to generation.

In an era when bandits, bandits and water bandits were rampant, the migration of knowledge was not only expensive, but even relatives would pay the price of their lives or their family would die on the road.

As long as the Song army still has hope of defending it, they will not throw the Song people to the golden dog and kill them like livestock.

No one wants to move south.

Therefore, the Guangnan two routes lost the opportunity for large-scale migratory population to develop.

At this moment, in Guangzhou and nearby areas, the impact plains of the Pearl River have not been completely formed. Li Jing walked through Zhongshan, Zhuhai, Jiangmen, and Nansha in his previous life. The land in most parts of Zhongshan, Zhuhai, Jiangmen, and Nansha is still in the sea at the mouth of the Pearl River.

What is the situation on Guangnan East Road?

Who in later generations can believe that the food on Guangnan East Road cannot be self-sufficient?

Li Jing didn't know whether it would drag down Shandong in large quantities in terms of food after taking it down, and whether it could actively develop the coastal areas of Guangnan and the two routes of Guangnan and migrate the captives of Fusang and Goryeo to Guangnan and cultivate them.

What he knew was that Guangnan East Road, like Guangnan West Road, had neither the Xuanfu Department nor the Criminal Prison Department. The highest local official institution was called the Jingliu Fu Department.

The responsibilities of the Strategic and Pacification Department are somewhat similar to those of the Propaganda and Pacification Envoy.

According to the system, he also has to serve as the governor of Guangzhou.

At the same time, the Management and Pacification Department also has a level-level name called the Ship Department.

Ships have simple functions, only dealing with trade taxes.

The duties of the policing envoy were troublesome. The public security and justice of Guangzhou Prefecture were under his jurisdiction, the ethnic minority riots were under his jurisdiction, the pirates plundered passing ships, and the crackdown on pirates was under his jurisdiction.

The soldiers in his hand are still pitiful.

When Li Gang was in Yangzhou, he said that Guangnan and Fujian were fighting the enemy's problems. When Funing's sea border was not favorable, he once said, "The two commanders have no warships and naval forces. When they encounter pirates, they are rampant and cannot advance to fight. They are only merciless in the coastal areas, which is a conservative plan."

Comparing the collected information from Guangnan two routes, Li Jing explained to Zhu Lian and the two concubines on the boat for a long time.

Including Li Qingzhao and the others finally understood.

At this stage, Guangnan East Road is a place where Shandong's resistance to Jin Dynasty cannot borrow power.

But there is great potential here.

Connecting the Song Dynasty to the Nanyang, occupying the South China Sea islands, and supporting the South China Sea islands.

As long as it is managed well, it will be the growth point of the Song Dynasty's new wealth and grain.
