Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 134 Dreaming about Lingnan
Ever since seeing Xiao Ye and Xiao Hei, Ah Yue is no longer attached to Sun Xiangfu. Every morning, the basket of lychees is often divided up by these two guys with long noses. After discovering that they like to eat bananas, Ah Yue still Zhao Long specially asked Zhao Long to cut several whole bunches of bananas for him and put them in his room. Every time she fed bananas to two greedy guys, she would peel them, and the two guys who made them love to eat peeled bananas now , Sometimes I use my nose to roll off the top bananas from the banana tree, and take them to a place where there are people, and let them peel them for them to eat. Not to mention, the bananas they get are all ripe, and elephants just have so smart.

"Today's harvest was good. Two large grass carp weighing more than ten catties just happened to be brought to Yue Gong's mansion for extra meals." Sun Xiangfu put away the fishing line in satisfaction and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Wrestling with big fish is a technical job. Bamboo poles can’t bear the bait of a big fish weighing more than ten kilograms. You need to rely on the fishing line, put it down and pull it at the same time. After the strength of the fish is exhausted, slowly drag it to the Only when it is near the net pocket can it be caught smoothly. Since Baiyun Lake was formed, no one has salvaged it here. The fish in it are almost fine. Since then, Sun Xiangfu has the habit of fishing on the lake.

"Great, sir, are you going to the city today? Ah Yue can go to see Dad again."

On a hot day, Sun Xiangfu is actually too lazy to run on both sides. Even if there is wind blowing while riding a horse, Sun Xiangfu will be full of sweaty smell if he runs to a city dozens of miles away, but it is only June. It's the middle of the month, I have some news, I should go to Feng An to inquire about it.

Ah Shan looked more and more like a normal person, except for the wrinkled skin on his stomach. Moreover, his Chinese became better and better, and he already knew how to help the soldiers manage the new patients in the patient camp.

There is no way to eradicate Lingnan's pot belly disease, so this patient camp may exist for a long time. After Sun Xiangfu left A Yue in the patient camp, he rode to Feng's mansion. When he learned that Feng An was not there, he went First to the pharmacy.

Li Chunfeng and Xuanzang are playing chess in rare leisure time. Sun Xiangfu doesn't know how to go, but he can see that Li Chunfeng has been attacking, while Xuanzang has been defending, just like the current Buddhism and Taoism. , one expanded wildly, and the other struggled to support, but even so, Li Chunfeng could not achieve any overwhelming victory. In the end, when the entire chessboard was almost full, Li Chunfeng could only beat Xuanzang's son-in-law.

"It's so hot that the poor Taoist is too lazy to use his brain, otherwise he will definitely kill you, a monk."

After a game was over, the two of them had no intention of playing again. Xuanzang just smiled when he heard the words. His performance on the chess game was very similar to his personality. He had no desire to win, so how could he win? Win chess.

"Is there a letter from Chang'an in the past few days?"

Sun Xiangfu didn't mention it, Li Chun risked forgetting, slapped his forehead, took out a thick envelope from a drawer in the pharmacy, and handed it to Sun Xiangfu, "This letter from your wife is really serious, I'm afraid It’s not that paper money has to be consistent.”

Sun Xiangfu grabbed the letter and joked, "A monk like Taoist priest probably won't realize the beauty of love."

All right!It is very embarrassing to make love in front of two monks, so this topic did not continue. Sun Xiangfu found a corner where no one was there, opened the letter paper, and read Yu Xiuer's letter alone.

Of course, the first time he saw this letter, he denied what Li Chunfeng said just now that the letter paper needs to be paid for, because the paper wrapped in the linen paper turned out to be soft and hard straw paper. The craftsmen of the government researched it themselves.

At the beginning of the letter, Yu Xiuer expressed her miss to Sun Xiangfu, and then began to talk about the current situation in Chang'an. The watermelon and several kinds of courgettes were harvested in abundance. Very high, the two newly selected artists who play Xu Shilin and Hu Meiniang have inherited their previous acting styles very well, and are now very popular. As for the house at home, the underground construction has not even been completed yet, so I am afraid they will not be able to live in it this year. went in.

Another thing is that after the children learn Chinese Pinyin, they can read and recognize characters very fast. Yu Shinan has already gone to the mansion to get the Chinese Pinyin teaching materials, saying that he will present it to His Majesty. Get started.

In the end, I talked about the reward Li Shimin gave me after I sent the secret letter. Therefore, she is now the wife of the fifth rank, so let him be careful in Lingnan, don't mess with flowers, and without her consent, It is not allowed to take a concubine at home, of course, there are also words urging him to go back early.

However, as far as these contents are concerned, of course it is impossible to pretend to be as thick as a book, and there are many other people’s letter papers in the letter. Sun Erli asked about the situation in the fields after the harvest. Guanzhong is drought this year, and many crops are not viable. Follow-up He had to make up his mind what to do.In addition, Shi Dalang reported on the work of the Fisheries Department and the progress of the breeding business in various fish farms, and asked how to increase production in the next step.

Finally, there is Sun Dali's big characters like lightning. In addition to saying that Xingfu Village has a lot of money now and his wife is pregnant with a child, it also says that many people in Chang'an have started to think about Xingfu Village, not just Xingfu Village The villagers, even those workers who were hired by them to farm the land at the beginning of the year, were also poached away by many dignitaries and rich money.

They are Qin Qiong who is greedy for getting rich. It is said that the banquets of the Qin Mansion have not stopped these days, just like when everyone came to the Qin Mansion to learn cooking skills. With Qin Qiong's kind personality, he would not give others face. of.

Sun Xiangfu had expected this a long time ago. People in Datang are not resisting new things more and more. This is a good sign. Xiangfu also thinks it's nothing, since you all grow melons and fruits, then I will grow food, just like they all grew food before, and Sun Xiangfu chose to grow melons and fruits, just like doing a side job, only to get rich.

These are just expected things, Feng An has to tell him about the big things he really cares about.

It was impossible for Sun Xiangfu to return to Chang'an before the first season of Champa rice was harvested, so he asked the servants of Feng's mansion for a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to write replies one by one, telling some of his own situation to him. Knowing this, Yu Xiu'er answered the questions raised by everyone and made a plan. After writing the whole letter, it took an afternoon.

At dinner time, the fish in the kitchen was grilled. At this time, Feng An also returned to the mansion in a hurry. He drank two large bowls of coconut milk from Jingshui before he started talking about business with Sun Xiangfu.

"Zhang Gongjin stayed in Chang'an for a month and didn't leave. The officials of the aristocratic family scolded him badly. His Majesty felt that it was almost time, so he asked someone to find an opportunity to finish it."

"Well, it's about time. If it's activated during the autumn harvest, I'm afraid the price of food will be too low and it will hurt farmers."

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said something, and Feng An roughly understood what he meant. Spring plowing in the south of the Yangtze River is usually a month earlier than in the north. In mid-July, a large number of rice fields will be mature and harvested. The plan is not good for the people in the south of the Yangtze River, so I said.

"The old man sent a letter to Zhi Dai, Zhi Yu and Zhi Jian, asking their three brothers to quell the internal rebellion immediately and deliver an order to His Majesty. In addition, you can also send a letter to His Majesty to send all the members of the faction here."

"Well, after dinner, we'll split up. Besides, we're done talking about the company, and it's time for us to talk about private matters. I wonder how the construction of the major workshops is going?" asked.

"Didn't the old man just come back from the workshop? By the way, I haven't shown you the finished product yet!" After finishing speaking, Feng An yelled at the servant, and the few small bundles he brought were sent to the desk superior.

"Here is the sugar produced by your craftsmen in the workshop."

Sun Xiangfu opened the bundles one by one, and saw that there were white sugar that was finely crushed like snow, rock sugar that had crystallized into lumps, and there was also a kind of lychee candy that could smell the strong fragrance through the burden cloth, but Sun Xiangfu didn't try it For those white sugar, I directly took a piece of lychee sugar and put it into my mouth.

"Well, this tastes good."

The sugar made from lychee juice is not at all weaker than cane sugar in sweetness, and has higher vitamin and glucose content, and a stronger sweet aroma. It is very tempting for those who love sweets.

"Before you said that our sugar in Lingnan can be sold at a price higher than that of salt, I still didn't believe it, but after seeing these things, I believed it. With the production of lychees and sugar cane in my Lingnan land, this sugar may be able to All our Lingnans will become rich."

"No, no, this kind of sugar is not only the price of salt, it is at least several times the price of salt. When you say it to the outside world, you must say that only a few hundred sugarcanes can produce a catty of white sugar, and thousands of lychees , to make a piece of lychee rock candy, and, starting from today, the sugar workshop prohibits any irrelevant people from entering and leaving, and the craftsmen must strictly control it." Sun Xiangfu shook his head with a smile and said.

"This······"

The honest and kind Feng An was stymied by Sun Xiangfu's words, but he quickly understood what Sun Xiangfu meant, pointed at Sun Xiangfu with a smile, and said, "You are really cunning, but it's better to be more cunning." , my people in Lingnan have been impoverished for so many years, so it's time for me to make a fortune."

"Hehe, Duke Yue, don't forget, the boy said that within three years, the land in the south of the Lingnan will be more prosperous than that in Guanzhong." Sun Xiangfu accepted Feng An's praise and said with a smile.

"I don't dare to take this seriously. After all, our Lingnan is a place of smog." Feng An accepted it with a smile.

"I only talked about it for three years, not ten years. Have you ever thought about what Lingnan will become rich in ten years?" Sun Xiangfu said in a condescending manner.

"What will it look like?" Feng An asked imaginatively.

"Ten years later, the people in Lingnan may all wear gold and silver, and look at the poor people in Chang'an with a silly smile." Sun Xiangfu seemed to have imagined a very funny scene, and laughed.

"The poor in Chang'an?"

No matter how big Feng An's brain is, he never thought that Lingnan would be richer than Chang'an. The analogy Sun Xiangfu made is how a billionaire looks at a millionaire. Moreover, this billionaire is not educated enough. Gao Lingnan people, even if the people of Chang'an will be millionaires by then, they will still be poor in front of Lingnan people who are stupid and rich.
