Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 178
The topic aroused Wang Xu's interest, and of course Sun Xiangfu went on fooling around and said, "A few months ago, when Wang Lin went to Lingnan, he instigated the Japanese people to deal with me in Yangzhou, but in fact, he was reminding me The land of Lingnan has changed, so I rushed to Lingnan quickly, and with the countermeasures, I completely dismantled your second brother's plan, and made your second brother lose face in the family.

Of course, I guessed these after I interrogated a person under your second brother's subordinates and got some information.

In this way, I know that your elder brother Wang Lin is a narrow-minded person, and he is already competing for the position of the head of the Wang family by betraying his brother.

And he shot me again and again, but all ended in failure. Therefore, the person who knows my ability the most is against him, and because of this, I guess this act of breaking the road is a plan he wants to harm me, even if the plan fails, It can also make me secretly hate you, because you are the ruler of the Wang family in the north and one of his competitors, so of course he wants to make trouble for you. "

"Then why did you exclude my second brother?" After hearing what Sun Xiangfu said, Wang Xu actually believed three points in his heart. Wang Lin was indeed such a person.

"Your second brother Wang Hao is a very wise and decisive person. He has always done things with clear goals. Your Wang family's selection of the position of Patriarch depends on his grades. Then, he will only show the results to the person in charge of the selection. As for dealing with He doesn't have so much free time for things like mine, if my predictions are correct, your second brother should be in the various tribes of Nanzhao or Tubo."

Hearing this, Wang Xu believed Sun Xiangfu's words by [-]%. If you want to say why Sun Xiangfu has so many inferences, it's not because Tang Fengyi's wine is good these days. Information, the methods of many aristocratic families that I know, enriches the amount of information I have, and it is naturally much easier to deal with it.

"Even so, how can I believe that you can make them lose their ability to compete with me for the position of Patriarch within two years! You should not wait until two years after you ask me for Liang Shidu's head! "Wang Xu pointed out the key point of the problem.

"Because I can bring you achievements while dealing with them. If you cooperate with me, your achievements will be unmatched by your elder brother and second brother." Sun Xiangfu said confidently.

"My son doesn't want to listen to empty words." The implication of Wang Xu's words is that he wants to hear about Sun Xiangfu's specific methods for him to achieve results before deciding whether to cooperate with Sun Xiangfu. Another meaning is that he He really has the ability to take down Master Liang.

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu smiled and said to Wang Xu, "Young Master Wang, you can first tell me about the performance requirements that the Taiyuan Wang family has for future heirs."

In fact, even if Wang Xu chatted like this, regardless of whether an agreement was reached in the end, it was good for Sun Xiangfu, because he could learn more about the family's internal information through Wang Xu's mouth.

"In today's situation, the influence of several big families such as ours has become deeply intertwined, and it is impossible to strive for the exclusive right to speak. The so-called achievements are only the amount of land, the amount of talents, and the amount of profit."

Land is the foundation of a family's prosperity. Since the Han Dynasty, the best land near Taiyuan has been occupied by the Wang family. Everywhere in the villages and Wubao, people from the Wang family are in power, and the implementation is also beneficial to the Wang family. Township law, you must know that it is difficult for imperial power to come down to the county during this period, let alone the countryside.

After hundreds of years of development, they have long been dissatisfied with Taiyuan. As more and more talents are cultivated in the family, their power has already spread to the whole country. Ten thousand mu is a great asset, but it is nothing compared to these top big families. Those who don’t have thousands of acres of fertile land in their families dare not call themselves a family. Next.

But even so, they are still carrying out land mergers. In addition to land mergers, they also use the power in their hands to make profits for the family. If a local official who has power wants to seek personal gain, there are too many ways. It’s not that the people in ancient times didn’t produce enough. Most people worked hard to live, and the output they created was more than enough to support themselves. However, what they produced was controlled by those who had knowledge and power. exploited.

"In these aspects, I can easily help the prince." Sun Xiangfu just used his brain a little, and continued to smile.

"Really? How do you do it?" Wang Xu asked with bright eyes.

"Hehe, even if I'm talking about hype now, the prince sounds like empty talk, then, let me tell the prince the same in the field I am good at!
In the land of the Central Plains, there is only so much land. You guys have fought back and forth, and you have reached a limit, and you can only do this. I, however, have the ability to grow various crops in the bitter cold land outside the customs. The prince knows the whole How big is the grassland?It is said that riding a fast horse from east to west, or from south to north, takes several months, more than a few thousand miles. The sum of these lands is not smaller than the entire Central Plains.

The land of Shuozhou is adjacent to the grassland. As long as the prince is willing, I can grow crops for you at least a hundred miles around every year. This is a place bigger than a county. "

When Sun Xiangfu said this, it turned out that Wang Xu's whole brain had been opened up. Farming on the grassland outside the pass?

This is something that the predecessors dared not even think about, but it is not a question of whether or not the plant can be planted, but a question of whether the planted thing can be received in one's own hands, because the grassland is the territory of the Turkic people, and now Turks are weak...

Thinking of this, Wang Xu's eyes brightened. Shuozhou was originally adjacent to the Houtao Plain, and the land in the entire Hetao area was actually very suitable for farming. This was verified during the Han Dynasty. It's a big deal.

"A hundred miles a year?"

"It depends on how much manpower the prince can send to me. If there are more people, it is not impossible to expand the place. Now that the Turks are weak, if the prince opens up fields in the Turkic place at this time, I believe the emperor will also You can’t deny that these lands belong to the Wang family!”

Sun Xiangfu knew that Wang Xu had already figured out the key point, and he had entered the routine he designed.

The Yellow River has all kinds of harm, but it is only rich. The Sangqian River Basin is located just around the boundary of Shuozhou. The water source here is abundant. It will be an important farming area in later generations. People with broad vision can figure this out as long as they give a little hint.

But thinking and doing are two different things. Those who can complete such a large-scale agricultural development project must have considerable strength. For now, the imperial court does not have such strength, because Li Shimin is eager for the population to gather in Guanzhong. What kind of land reclamation do people go outside the customs.

But the Taiyuan Wang family is very suitable to do it. They have enough strength, and this place is not far from their base, so the more he thinks about it, the more excited Wang Xu becomes.

"Done."

The two simple words in Wang Xu's mouth made Sun Xiangfu smile.

If the eyes of these aristocratic families can be drawn to the land outside the pass that the Tang Dynasty has not yet occupied, it will be a major success in the general direction.

The aristocratic family has wisdom and hands. When they set their greedy eyes on lands other than Datang, it is difficult for anyone to stop their footsteps. This will make this country go on the road of continuous expansion.

"So, is Prince Wang willing to take the head of Master Liang?" Sun Xiangfu said with a smile.

"Hehe, from what you said, it seems that Master Liang has something to do with my Taiyuan Wang family." After listening to Sun Xiangfu's words, Wang Xu felt that this person was really powerful, and even guessed that Master Liang was with them. Wang is related.

"That's natural. It's less than [-] miles from Taiyuan to Shuozhou. Can the Wang family calmly let even a Liang master who doesn't listen to him exist?"

After asking a rhetorical question, Sun Xiangfu said again, "So, cleaning up Liang Shidu is the first step in the Wang family's outward expansion. Both Mr. Yu and his subordinates are beneficial. Of course, even if Mr. Wang doesn't do anything, I don't think Liang Teachers can stop the army of the court, what do you think, Mr. Wang!"

What Sun Xiangfu said was true. The news of the Chang'an military parade had already spread to Taiyuan. Unlike the former Sui Dynasty, Li Shimin now not only has a strong army, but also the hearts of the army and the people are towards him. Therefore, after several masters agreed, I feel that I have to avoid Li Shimin's edge for the time being, and not take the initiative to provoke troubles. When the world changes, I will take the opportunity to reap benefits.

However, Liang Shidu, who only knows how to hide in Shuozhou to enjoy himself, has loose military equipment and lost the support of the Turkic people. He does not even have foreign aid. How can he defend a state alone against the imperial army with the power of the world? things at hand.

"In this way, it means that as long as I get rid of Liang Shidu, I will be able to exchange for your cooperation." Under Sun Xiangfu's enlightenment, Wang Xu thought through this section again, and said.

"Of course, hello to my good things, why not do it."

Seeing that Wang Xu was almost persuaded by himself, Sun Xiangfu echoed with a smile and said, "This is just farming, which I am best at. When branches in Wangjianglou are opened, I believe that those industries controlled by brother Wang Lin He will be smashed into scum by the property created by his subordinates. As for Wang Hao, who is good at vertical and horizontal skills, he still has a chance in the turbulent previous dynasty. Now His Majesty is not stupid, and he has no chance of success. Under the ebb and flow, two years is enough for the noble family to confirm your identity as the heir."

The more Sun Xiangfu said, the more Wang Xu felt that it was a very wise decision for him to go out of the city today to meet the man who was said to have caused his two elder brothers to suffer.

After drinking again, Wang Xu said, "In this way, I will go to Shuozhou to believe that when you arrive in Shuozhou, there will be surprises for you. However, you don't want to play tricks on me. , if my son makes trouble for you, even if you hide in the imperial army, there is no guarantee that you will be able to leave alive."

As soon as his words fell, the copper horn cup in his hand was crushed into a ball of scrap copper by his fingers.

Sun Xiangfu was amazed at how strong it was, and when he glanced at Xi Junmai beside him, he also had a dignified look on his face.Only then did he realize the correctness of what Tang Fengyi said when he commented on Wang Xu. Wang Xu is indeed a person who likes to use his strength to crush others in an upright manner, because he probably killed those who dissatisfied.
