Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 139 Meet Wei Li

During this period, any official sent to Lingnan as an official was tantamount to exile, especially high-ranking officials, even imperial envoys who patrolled in festivals, which was a hard job that not many people were willing to do.

Therefore, Wei Shuxie and Li Gongyan were not in a good mood when they came to Lingnan, and as northerners, they were very seasick after shaking at sea for a few days. As soon as they landed, Feng An invited Li Chunfeng Come and heal them.

Pollinating the rice and pollinating the flowers is not difficult. Sun Xiangfu only needs to ask Ah Shan to explain the reason for doing this to the barbarians who don't understand Chinese well, so he doesn't need to worry too much. , The neat rice fields have now become a scene in Lingnan, and all Lingnan people expect it to have a good harvest.

If it is not necessary, Sun Xiangfu does not want Xiaohei and Xiaoye to leave the playground specially built for them on the peninsula. They have not received strict training and do not understand some rules that humans will abide by, such as going to the rice field If they don't pay attention, they will rub a layer of mud on themselves, and Sun Xiangfu has been transplanted and replanted rice several times elsewhere.

The more than 5 mu of rice is Sun Xiangfu's experimental field, and it is an extremely rare lake and marsh experimental field, which is extremely fertile. Therefore, he wants to plant a yield that will amaze future generations and leave his name in the history books. a sum.

Seeing two guys with long noses approaching the rice field from a distance, Sun Xiangfu quickly jumped out from the field stalks. Now that the rice flowers are all out, if they are transplanted again, the quality of the rice planted in the same batch will definitely not be as good , He felt that these two guys should be locked up for a while.

"My lord, someone is looking for you. They want to take Xiao Hei and Xiao Ye away."

Seeing Sun Xiangfu coming out of the rice field, Ah Yue hurried up to complain.Hearing this, a military leader behind touched his nose in embarrassment.

"Xiaguan Xuanjie Captain Liu Shili has seen Sun Xiamu. His Majesty sent Wei Shuxie and Li Gongyan to Fu Lingnan. Now they have arrived in the city and specially summoned your lords to meet him."

In fact, Sun Xiangfu was the first person Li Shimin sent to Lingnan. As a front-runner, it is time for him to hand over work to the Lord. Of course, there are also Wei Shuxie and Li Gongyan who are more willing to believe in Sun Xiangfu. The meaning of enjoying happiness is in it. After all, Feng An is from Lingnan, and the purpose of their trip is to investigate Feng An.

"Well, Lieutenant Liu doesn't need to be too polite, so I will pack up and go to the city with everyone."

If you want to talk about why any small military officer in Datang recognizes Sun Xiangfu, you are also because of the Legend of the White Snake. Although you haven't shown up in Chang'an for several months, no one in Chang'an city knows Sun Xiangfu!

After all, Sun Xiangfu hurriedly snatched the basket from Ah Yue's hand, peeled off a big mango, and used the yellow flesh to lure Xiao Hei and Xiao Ye to prevent them from playing in the rice fields.

"Ah Yue, your task in the future is to train them not to go into the rice fields, but also to train them to walk the way people walk, you know?"

"Well, Ah Yue will definitely make them obedient." Ah Yue said with a smile on her dark face, and she could tell that Sun Xiangfu didn't mean to let Xiao Hei and Xiao Ye go.

Sun Xiangfu doesn't know anything about taming animals, so he can only hand over this task to the little Ayue who stays with them all day. I hope that in a few years, Ayue who grew up with them can easily command them Do some farm work!

Sun Xiangfu took off his burlap farming clothes, soaked in the bathtub, and put on a frivolous official suit. Only then did Sun Xiangfu look a little official, but Xu Xian, who had thin skin and tender flesh half a year ago, has become what he is now. The black Xu Xian, this made his face a bit more masculine.

"Why didn't you wait for a few people to come on horseback?"

After leaving this house with all the furniture made of agarwood, Sun Xiangfu remembered that Liu Shili and the others had all come on foot, and said in surprise.

"Hehe, by the orders of the two adults, just look around." Liu Shili smiled and gave him a meaningful look, and Sun Xiangfu understood it instantly.

"If you want to see it, just look at it openly. Mr. Yue is an upright person without any dissent. Don't be a villain in vain."

Sun Xiangfu said lightly, and asked Zhao Long to lead the horse. It would be very hot to walk dozens of miles to the city in this hot weather.

"Hehe, I dare not disobey God's order! But from my point of view, this land in the South of the Five Ridges is full of rice fields, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, but it's not like the barren and smoky land that everyone talks about. I really don't know if I don't see it! "

"A few months ago, Lingnan was not like this. These rice plants were imported from Jiaozhi. You should go to the patient concentration camp to see the real situation in Lingnan."

Liu Shili and the others were also allotted a horse. After Zhao Long's guards dispersed, he and Sun Xiangfu Xi Jun bought three people and walked side by side, chatting while walking.

"The cochin rice seed planted by Sun Xiamu can really produce eight stones per mu?"

"Not much more." Sun Xiangfu said confidently.

Based on his experience, it is not difficult to estimate the yield of the paddy field he planted. If it weren't for the fact that one acre in this period was smaller than that of later generations, he dared to announce that the yield per mu of his field was at least ten stones, because this field Great, I don’t know how many years the lakes and swamps have been formed, with sufficient fertility, sufficient sunshine, and sufficient moisture, almost reaching the limit growth conditions of this kind of rice. If you want to break through, you can only rely on hybrid rice. Of course , which is Sun Xiangfu's next research direction.

The output of Bashigu is his minimum requirement for this kind of rice. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Champa rice seeds had a record of producing four shidu rice per mu, and Bashigu could only grind out five shidu rice. With chaff and unnecessary water, a catty of grain can only produce a little more than seven taels of rice. It would be too much for him, a postgraduate agricultural graduate student, to be only a little bit higher than an ordinary farmer in the Northern Song Dynasty. Lost face.

Liu Shili knew that his identity as a secret guard might have been known by Sun Xiangfu, so he no longer shy away from it. As for many questions about Lingnan, as long as he didn't understand, he would ask. These things did not involve Sun Xiangfu's core interests. Sun Xiangfu asked questions. You must answer, soon, when Liu Shili understood almost everything Sun Xiangfu knew, the cavalry entered the city.

"Master Wei and Master Li are well."

Looking at Wei Shuxie and Li Gongyan who were half asleep with white cloth wrapped around their heads on the bed, Sun Xiangfu asked Li Chunfeng.

"They're all off the boat, and they're still throwing up. This disease can't be cured by medicine, and we have to wait for them to recover by themselves." Li Chunfeng said helplessly.

For the northerners who seldom take boats, taking a sea boat of this period is like a punishment. Not all ships are as stable as the Happiness. It's like turning people upside down in a pot.

Moreover, the hot and humid climate in the south is also a kind of torture for the northerners. The feeling of being soaked in water is not good, and it will aggravate their nausea and nausea when they are seasick.

"Take a slice of ginger for all seasick people to keep in their mouths."

Sun Xiangfu has seen many people with motion sickness and seasickness use this method in later generations, and it seems to have some effect. In addition, he also wiped some of the toilet water he made on the temples of the two, making them feel refreshed .

Sure enough, after half an hour, the symptoms of both of them were relieved. Seeing the two people who were so thin that they were about to lose their appearance, Sun Xiangfu asked the people in Feng An's house to take lychee candies for them to put in their mouths to supplement the sugar. , It wasn't until night that the two became a little more normal, so they asked Sun Xiangfu to talk in the room.

"Hey, if you take a trip to Lingnan, most of my life will be lost."

After some greetings, Wei Shuxie complained first, and Li Gongyan on the side also felt the same way.

"The two adults have worked hard from a long distance. Seasickness is a normal phenomenon for Beiren. Rest for two days and you will recover."

Sun Xiangfu smiled and comforted, and then saw Wei Shuxie retreated the left and right guards, only him, Li Gongyan and Sun Xiangfu were left in the room.

"Zhengming has been here for a few months, can you check the situation?"

"Mr. Yue has no rebellious intentions. Moreover, he has cooperated with the court to complete the attack on those who have evil intentions. His heart is clear. He also expresses his willingness to send his son to Chang'an as an official. His son is wise and wears both civil and military skills. He should go." Sun Xiangfu replied formally to the two of them.

"Well, there is no doubt about this matter. Zhengming thinks, can the land of Lingnan be like the Central Plains, register and register the people, and collect the poll tax?" Wei Shuxie nodded and asked again.

Li Tang's management of Lingnan has always been relatively loose. As long as he does not rebel and does not add chaos to the Central Plains, all the administrative and military powers were in the hands of Feng An. It was the first time that the imperial court sent an imperial envoy to Lingnan on festivals.

Now, the general incident made Li Shimin realize the importance of Lingnan. He sent two ministers here just to completely manage Lingnan.

"Registration is possible, and tax collection may have to be postponed. Except for the hundreds of miles around the states and cities in Lingnan, most of the places are still villages ruled by tribal leaders. Even if Yue Gong has the status of a great chief, It’s not very detailed, the two adults still need to proceed step by step, and it’s better to discuss everything with Yuegong.”

The reason why Sun Xiangfu can go smoothly in Lingnan is because he helped the people in Lingnan to heal their big belly disease. Everyone treats him as a benefactor, and Sun Xiangfu himself has no bureaucratic style , very approachable.

Therefore, for these Liaoren and Yiren whose names are only replaced by a strange shout, it is already difficult to register them.But if they were suddenly given some court rules, they might not be able to enforce them at all.

First of all, the leader of the tribe will not agree to hand over the output of his tribe to the court in vain. After all, their life is also very difficult, and those hunters and barbarians often follow their tribe leaders blindly, just like When Feng An needed to call the strong men to do something, the people in his tribe would basically do whatever they were asked to do without asking the reason.

And the leaders of these tribes rarely learn the culture of the Central Plains. If you tell them about feudal monarchs and ministers, they don't understand at all. It is almost impossible for them to obey the Han people unconditionally.

"Then let's discuss this matter in a long-term way. There is another matter. Your Majesty and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have doubts, but we need to verify it ourselves. Is it true that the rice yielding eight stones per mu is true?" Shu Xie was so patient, and when Sun Xiangfu finished speaking, he answered the question.

　Thank you for the reward of the undead knight. I asked for a monthly ticket. In half a month, there were only a few dozen votes. It's very pitiful.Thanks!Thanks!
