"The reason why the imperial court isn't willing to easily send troops to Lingnan is because of the steep terrain and dense forests. As long as our men hide in the forest, they can rely on their familiarity with the terrain to make it impossible for others to find them.
If the Imperial Court insists on sending troops to Lingnan, it will definitely consume a lot of money and soldiers. At that time, the Northern Turks won't let go of the Great Tang. This is also the main reason why the Imperial Court has always ignored the conflicts between the various tribal chiefs of Lingnan.
But now, the Imperial Court is in control of the Immortal Lamp, as well as weapons of mass destruction similar to the true qi iron balls in Li Zexuan's hands. The Imperial Court can send an army to destroy any place in Lingnan from the air at any time. If we dare to make any moves, we will very likely become the next Seven Cultivators of True Virtue and be annihilated overnight!
Thus, Lingnan can't be touched and the Imperial Court can't be an enemy! Inform Father to end the conflict with Prince Tan as soon as possible and stop testing the Imperial Court's patience! The Great Tang's current strength is not something a trifling Lingnan can provoke! "
In the study of the Feng Residence, Feng Zhidai was silent for a while before speaking.
The Prince Tan he spoke of was a tribal chief in the western part of Guangdong during the Sui and Tang dynasties. He was active in the northwestern part of Gaozhou and the northeastern part of Huazhou. He was a tribal chief on the same level as Feng Ang in Gaoliang.
In the first year of Zhenguan, due to the issue of territory in the northern part of Gaozhou, the Lingnan tribal chief Feng Ang and Prince Tan repeatedly attacked each other and did not enter the Imperial Court for a long time. The various prefectures and prefectures reported that Feng Ang was plotting rebellion dozens of times. Only then did Li Er become suspicious and decide to send troops.
In the study, after hearing Feng Zhidai's analysis, Ah Mu's face was full of shock. The fate of the Seven Cultivators Sect was right before his eyes, so he had to believe that what Feng Zhidai said was very likely to happen! At that time, the Imperial Court would send a group of divine soldiers to descend from the sky on the back of the Celestial Lamp and throw some of them down. Li Zexuan was able to destroy the Seven Cultivators Sect with two Grandmaster Realm experts by himself. If the Imperial Court's army could imitate Li Zexuan's method of attack, it would be too terrifying!
Thinking of this, Ah Mu's back couldn't help but be covered in a layer of cold sweat!
"Young Master's foresight is truly admirable!"
Ah Mu bowed and cupped his fists.
Feng Zhidai nodded. After a long while, he sighed softly and said, "Go! Based on the current strength of the Imperial Court, we are definitely not their match, so we cannot act rashly. Find a chance to pass the news to my father as soon as possible. The situation in Lingnan must be stabilized as soon as possible! "
"Yes ~!"
…
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. In these three days, in addition to the increasingly heated discussion about Li Zexuan's engineering enlightenment class, the influence of football had further expanded and had begun to affect the states and counties near Chang 'an.
As of now, there were more than 100 teams registered with the FIFA, including 11 states and counties including Chang 'an. As Datang Daily gradually spread the news of football to remote areas, it was believed that more and more teams would come to sign up.
Of course, how many teams would still exist after a year was another matter. After all, when the League Ranking Tournament was held in March next year, only 20 teams could enter League One, 30 teams could enter League Two, and the rest could only be regarded as amateur teams. They would face the situation of no prize money and no sponsorship!
It was worth mentioning that Cheng Chumo also formed a team, but his team was mostly playful because the players were all second-generation Chang 'an rich second generation like Yuchi Baolin, Wang Meng, Sun Zifan, Zhangsun Chong, and even Li Tai!
In fact, Li Tai himself also wanted to select a group of guards to form a professional football team, but his identity was too special. If he formed a team and no one dared to play against him, then it would be bad.
Therefore, he and Li Chengqian consciously did not form their own team, but only played in Cheng Chumo's team occasionally!
On this day, Li Zexuan was working in the office of the Academy. Previously, Li Xiaogong had asked him to draft the structure and management regulations of the Department of Shipping, and now it was basically in the final stage.
It was strange to say that this guy's work efficiency was highest only in the Academy, and he was too lazy to move at home. This was one of the reasons why he always liked to work in the "principal's office" in Guanghua Building.
As for the Department of Shipping, its function was somewhat similar to the modern customs. Therefore, Li Zexuan divided the Department of Shipping into four departments according to the structure of the customs and the current situation of the Tang Empire: the General Department, the Inspection Department, the Tax Department, and the Inspection Department.
The General Department was jointly led by the left and right secretaries of the General Department. The Inspection Department had a General Supervisor and two Deputy Supervisors, who were mainly responsible for investigating the smuggling of goods or goods that were prohibited by sea. For example, the Tang Empire's curved plows, cement, celestial lamps, weapons, and other things that contained a certain amount of technical content and were extremely beneficial to the people or the army. These goods were definitely not to be sold to other countries.
The Tax Department had a General Supervisor and two Deputy Supervisors, who were mainly responsible for collecting taxes on sea trade goods. Of course, these goods included both "imported" and "exported" goods. As for the tax rate, it was different for different goods, but overall, the difference was not too big. Excluding the tax, the merchants were still very profitable.
As for the Inspection Department, it was mainly responsible for supervising the daily behavior of all the officials in the Department of Shipping and whether they were honest or not. It was directly responsible to the left and right secretaries of the Department of Shipping, which was a bit similar to the modern "Commission for Discipline Inspection".
In addition to building the framework of the Department of Shipping, Li Zexuan also sorted out some details, such as the list of prohibited goods, the "import and export" tax rate of various goods, and so on. He wrote down a voluminous seventy to eighty thousand words, which was enough to fill a short story.
"Yamachō, Mr. Xu is looking for you, he …"
At this moment, Mo Zhong pushed the door open and came in. Mr. Xu reported, and then he hesitated to speak.
"What's the matter?"
Li Zexuan asked casually, and then put down the pencil, tidied up the regulations of the Department of Shipping he had just finished, and put it in a file bag made of kraft paper. His current office was becoming more and more like a modern office, and basically had everything.
"Yamachō, Mr. Xu also brought Dr. Liu from the Imperial College of Mathematics. What do you think …"
Mo Zhong said in a low voice.
Having been in the Academy for so long, he knew that Li Zexuan and the Imperial College had a bit of enmity, so he was not sure whether to let Xu Hongzhi and Dr. Liu in.
Li Zexuan was startled, and then he laughed and scolded, "When did you learn to be tactful? Quickly invite the two gentlemen in!"
