Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 19 Seven Clans and Five Surnames
Under the earnest instruction of Qin Qiong himself, Sun Xiangfu finally understood what it means to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. Although he did not think that loyalty was the same as serving the country, Li Shimin was a gentleman who deserved a little loyalty, and Qin Qiong was a kind and honest man. Sun Xiangfu naturally wants to give people face, so when Qin Qiong said that he would pay Sun Xiangfu [-] guan fish, Sun Xiangfu flatly refused. Five hundred guan, these fish products in Xingfu Village are also more than [-]% higher than those in June and July when they catch and sell them now.

Seeing that Sun Xiangfu was so forthright, Qin Qiong immediately ordered Uncle Fu to go to the cashier to order a full amount of 50 guan for Sun Xiangfu, which was [-] yuan.It's higher than Qin Qiong's annual salary, of course, that's not counting the output of employment and food.

The lowest market price in Chang’an is 1 renminbi a catty for eels, and [-] renminbi for loach. Sun Xiangfu sent more than [-] jin of fish to Chang’an this trip. It’s cost-effective, don’t want it, with an official status, no one can shout at him. In the Tang Dynasty, except for the emperor, killing an official is equivalent to rebellion. This red line is not much. Individuals dare to touch.

50 yuan is enough to hold several large carriages. Naturally, Sun Xiangfu will not take all the copper coins back. Datang silk cloth is also hard currency, and silk cloth can be directly made into clothes. Therefore, Sun Xiangfu took 20 of it. All the money was converted into silk cloth, and 20 of it was converted into gold equivalent in value, about 20 taels. For the last [-], Sun Xiangfu borrowed a carriage from Uncle Fu and took it to Dongshi to prepare Do some shopping.

Two hundred catties of baidiezi cost 150 yuan. Yes, the price of one catty of baidiezi is actually [-] renminbi, which is two or three times more expensive than copper coins of equal weight. Moreover, it is seeded, which is a rare commodity. It’s expensive, but even at this price, Sun Xiangfu wants to buy more, but it’s a pity that there are only so many of them now.

One hundred needles, one hundred tubes of thread, three hundred sheepskins, fifty thousand dollars, and then chickens and piglets. There were already many professional chicken farmers in this period, but no one could develop to a large scale. Generally, dealers buy them from them, and then resell them to those in need. Sun Xiangfu only bought a few hundred chicks and a dozen piglets in the market, but he told the dealers the address of Xingfu Village , After they receive the goods from the self-employed, they can send them directly to Xingfu Village, and they will be paid extra.

With the rest of the money, Sun Xiangfu came to the pier and bought another torture boat like the Qin Mansion, with a load of about [-] shi. Nowadays, many farmers have learned from Xingfu Village, driving boats to fish in the Weihe River The cage fishing is done, and with these boats, we can catch more fish before the river freezes.

Early the next morning, Sun Xiangfu returned to Xingfu Village with a boat full of supplies.

"Everyone come and move things quickly, move them all to the public house, and share them together during dinner."

Sun Xiangfu will not hide anything from the villagers, especially when the benefits are distributed. During dinner, all the people in the village, including babies, gather in the big house of the public house. Both adults and children can sit, but The children like to gather together and squat in the corner, listening to Sun Xiangfu on the podium giving orders.

"Everyone has worked hard for more than a month. Today, it is finally time to pay back. Seeing that pile of silk cloth is gone, according to the head, each person makes two decent clothes. Don't worry about not enough, just a little more. This is autumn clothes. Before the first snow comes, each person needs to make at least one set of sheepskin trousers and sheepskin jacket, make a lining with silk cloth, stuff some white folds inside, and cover with sheepskin, which is comfortable and warm. It's winter clothes."

The clothes that Sun Xiangfu described, in this era, are almost the same as those of the wealthy households in Chang'an City. As for the better fur, only a few dignitaries can afford it, and Xingfu Village is not rich enough for everyone to wear it. As far as fur is concerned, in the fur shop, Sun Xiangfu asked the price of those things. A piece of ordinary mink fur costs at least five coats, and better ones cost more than ten coats, and the size is only enough to make a collar. All cloaks are made of mink, and the price is at least a few hundred.

"it is good······"

The villagers applauded enthusiastically in the public house. This habit was brought to everyone by Sun Xiangfu.

After everyone's excitement passed, Sun Xiangfu told everyone about the process of selling fish in detail. After learning that the price of rice field eels in Chang'an had risen to seventy or eighty yuan a catty, the villagers knew that, All the treasures in the cellar of my house.

According to the data reported by Sun Dali, in the fish pond, all the rice field eels thicker than the thumb have been raised. There are 230 seven tanks of rice field eels, about 2 catties, and 350 tanks of loach, about [-] catties. The reason why there are so many loach than eels is that the growth cycle of loach is short and the reproduction is fast.

Now these five or six hundred tanks of fish are stored in the cellars of the villagers, and they are fed and inspected every day. According to observations, there are basically no safety problems. In the more than 300 ponds, there are still many young eels and loaches, which can be kept. After the warm spring next year, continue to feed.

In addition to these fish, the fish cages in the village are still fishing every day, and there will be a lot of money. This time, Sun Xiangfu bought a lot of needles and threads, but not all of them were used by the villagers to make clothes. He made some bamboo shuttles. Those hemp threads can be used to make fishing nets, and with fishing nets, Sun Xiangfu can make other fishing tools.

In autumn, the fish is fat, and with the casting net, the fishing is more abundant. In July, Yang Shunshui taught all the villagers to swim and row. Now, as long as he continues to update his fishing techniques, he will be able to maintain a leading position in the fishery.

In the following days, the villagers got busy again. After Sun Xiangfu and Nie Sanniang worked together to find out a more efficient routine for fetching cotton seeds and making clothes, and taught them to everyone, all the villagers weaved nets and made clothes. When making clothes, after they are more familiar with it, there will naturally be more ways to continuously improve the craftsmanship.

Ever since Sun Xiangfu became the head of Xingfu Village, everyone has never had a day off. Every day when they open their eyes, they know what they are going to do. Although they are physically tired, the days are also fulfilling. Fullness is the greatest expectation of the ancient people. On such days, the construction progress of chicken farms and pig farms is also very fast.

On the ninth day of August, Li Shimin ascended the throne in Chang'an. Of course, he did not need to greet Sun Xiangfu when he ascended the throne. Therefore, Sun Xiangfu, who was concentrating on farming and fishing, began to inspect his territory after breakfast as usual. Just after leaving the gate of the public house, I saw several fast horses running towards the village.

"Could it be that Li Shimin's will has come down?" Sun Xiangfu was overjoyed, but found that those people were not dressed as people in the government.

"Is this Xingfu Village?" the leader asked while sitting on horseback.

"Exactly."

"Ask Sun Dalang from your village to come out and answer."

"This is Sun Dalang." Between these two questions and answers, many people who were eating in the public house came out to watch the excitement.

The man on the horse looked straight at the young Sun Xiangfu, and said, "My young master heard that there are a lot of fish in your village, and he wants to buy them all. The price is based on the market price in Chang'an. When will you be able to deliver?"

"Did I say I was going to sell fish?"

Sun Xiangfu was very displeased with this man's arrogance. He is a man who is about to become an official, and he can't be ordered by just a young master.

"Don't be shameless. My young master is the eldest son of the Wang family in Taiyuan. If you offend him, Duke Yi's mansion will not protect you."

"Taiyuan Wang?"

Sun Xiangfu was startled, his thoughts flashed quickly, and he was a member of seven clans and five surnames. Now he was in trouble. It seemed that Qin Qiong's name could only deter those ordinary dignitaries, but it couldn't restrain the top ones like the Taiyuan Wang family. Aristocratic family.

"Why, you know what's interesting! My son is just buying fish from your village at the market price, and he doesn't treat you badly. You have to think carefully and don't make mistakes."

Sun Xiangfu looked gloomy. He had a plan for the stock in the cellar. As the saying goes, if you want to grab a man's heart, you must first grab his stomach. After grabbing Li Shimin's stomach, let the rice field eel and loach in Xingfu Village If you become the royal priest in the palace, the foundation of Xingfu Village will be stable. Moreover, even if you can’t eat it all in the palace, if you sell it in the middle of winter, the price will be doubled or tripled at least. If you sell it to someone else, you will lose too much. That is, the attitude of this Taiyuan Wang's dog leg makes Sun Xiangfu very unhappy, but my brother is about to become an official!
"Not for sale. The stock in the village has already been reserved. If the Wang family wants to buy it, they can sell some of the fish caught in the village to you."

Sun Xiangfu cannot regress. Today he has fish, but he is taken away by the Taiyuan Wang family. Tomorrow, he has food, but he will still be taken away by other families with seven clans and five surnames. In this way, he will only become a lackey of these families in Datang , when will you be able to get ahead?

"What a brat who doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth, dare to shame my Taiyuan Wang family, don't you know how to write the word 'death'?"

"Then do you know how to spell 'roll'?"

After all, Sun Xiangfu is a young man, and he is a master who eats soft but not hard. He was threatened by a domestic slave, and his temper suddenly became irritable. Seeing his posture, Sun Dali even took out the hatchet in the public house , the other villagers did the same thing, picked up the bamboo rake and pole, and stood beside Sun Xiangfu.

"What a bunch of unscrupulous people, the Lord will let you know what it means to be remorseful. Let's go."

The big man turned his horse's head and turned to leave, but Xingfu Village did not calm down because of this. Half an hour later, another group of people came, Fan Yang Lu's, their ending was almost the same as Taiyuan Wang's Otherwise, Qinghe Cui and Boling Cui came one after another, and one family was offended, and several were also offended. Naturally, Sun Xiangfu would not compromise. Anyway, he had already offended two families before, so he just knocked it out.
