Chapter 192 Guanzhong mutation
If, like Wang Xu, you think how many catties of seeds are needed for one mu of cumin field, then you are very wrong. The seeds for one mu of rice land are only one catty!Cumin is even less than half a catty, about three or four. In the well-organized field, after the seeds are evenly spread out, and then one to two centimeters of fine sand is sprinkled on the surface of the seeds, the whole sowing process is even Finished, cumin is resistant to drought and waterlogging, as long as the drainage ditches between the ridges of the fields are well opened, the general harvest will not be bad.

80 mu of land, Sun Xiangfu only used less than 20 shi of seeds to sow the seeds. The market price of the seeds added up to more than 100 guan. In this transaction, he made Wang Xu more than [-] million guan for nothing. Of course, the planting technology Not counted.

Sun Xiangfu paid close attention to the planting of the 80 mu of land, because he was afraid that the farmers would plant too much and waste their own money.The second is that in this era, it was the first time to plant cumin on such a large scale. In order to ensure that the planted things can grow smoothly and have a good harvest, Sun Xiangfu made very detailed requirements. It was required to reorganize, and it took more than half a month to complete the sowing.

During this half month, the grains of the Wang family were transported to Shuozhou one after another. There was grain in the warehouse, and the hearts of the people were at ease. Only then did Sun Xiangfu organize the people to plant the newly reclaimed fields.These fields have been drying for half a month, and it is time for sowing. The seeds are some varieties collected by Zhao Long from the coastal areas, mostly cloves, roses, jasmine, lavender, narcissus and so on.In addition, Sun Xiangfu also collected many European flower seeds from Hu merchants in the Western Regions of Chang'an, and it was basically not difficult to plant them. Although the common people did not understand why Sun Xiangfu planted these things, but after getting the food he distributed to everyone After that, I didn't say anything.

The time has entered late May, and Sun Xiangfu, who has been busy in the fields for two months, finally has time to go back to Mayi to accompany his wife. After spending a few days in the mansion, he decided to take Yu Xiuer out for a walk. He is also Shanyang The magistrate of the county should also let the people in Shiyi meet his mistress.

Just after leaving Mayi and entering the Shanyang realm, Yu Xiu'er saw a sea of ​​colorful flowers, and the whole air was full of fragrance.

"This, why is this place so beautiful..."

Women love flowers, and when they are in the sea of ​​flowers, their pleasure index will often increase.

"I knew you would like it. In order to thank you for your tireless efforts to accompany me to this bitter cold place, I planted this sea of ​​flowers and gave it to you."

In fact, due to the relatively late planting time, only some flowers with a short growth cycle are in full bloom in the field. If you wait another half a month to a month, this place will really be regarded as a sea of ​​flowers. It's hard to be like the people in the later generations who saw the scene of tens of thousands of acres of rose gardens and tens of thousands of acres of flower fields blooming at the same time. Therefore, these flowers flashed into Yu Xiu'er's eyes gorgeously, and even Chuntao and Hongmei clamored to be in the garden. Paint here.

"Hehe, it's not a big deal. When you get to the top of Shanyang City, you can see the colorful feeling from a distance, which is called beauty. Now the common people call Shanyang City the City of Flowers!" Sun Xiangfu said a little complacent.

The flower name of Shanyang has been spread with the first wave of flowers in full bloom. In the next step, Sun Xiangfu will make some modern plans for the city. Since there are not many places to take care of the flower fields, so , The construction of houses has already started in Shanyang City, neat brick houses, flat concrete floors, centralized drainage channels and septic tanks, which are the basis for keeping the city clean.

Along the Sanggan River, neat guardrails will be built, and there will be some hydrophilic platforms for washing vegetables and clothes.Every five hundred steps or less, a stone arch bridge will be built for merchant ships to pass through, so that the whole city will have a taste of the Jiangnan of later generations. Of course, these things are still under construction and will take one to two years to perfect.

In Sun Xiangfu's positioning, this city should be a city that focuses on commerce, tourism and service industries. After all, less than half of the more than 2 residents here are actually used for farming. In the future, A large number of restaurants, inns, bathhouses and various entertainment venues will be built in the city.After that, there will be a commercial street composed of shops selling various commodities, which require a lot of manpower to maintain daily care, and these common people who have experienced the prosperity of Guanzhong can just come in handy.

The reason why Sun Xiangfu positioned this city as a city of commerce is also because of its unique location, which is close to all parts of the grassland. Commodities are sold here, so you don't have to worry about those merchants who go outside the customs and don't come here to buy goods nearby.

For this reason, Sun Xiangfu also took a stake in the big blacksmith shop opened by Yuchi Baolin. If Li Shimin unified the grassland tribes as in history, this place will undoubtedly be a paradise for all the barbarians. This may be Sun Xiangfu. The only known historical knowledge of this period, thus giving him some forward-looking advantage!

The carriage entered the city gate. On both sides of the wide concrete road, there were busy construction sites everywhere. Of course, there was also an area that had been built long ago, with a plaque reading 'Shanyang Hou's Mansion'.

Naturally, this house is not as big as the Sun Mansion in Mayi City, but it is a house built in the fiefdom of Sun Xiangfu Shiyi. It has a special meaning for the five hundred households in Sun Xiangfu Shiyi. In the future, this place will be the place to manage the people in Shiyi.

Therefore, when Yu Xiuer, the mistress, arrived, everyone was gathered in the mansion by Uncle De to pay homage.

"Husband, although they are wearing Hanfu, the concubine looks a bit like a barbarian!" Yu Xiuer, who was sitting in the mistress's seat, whispered in Sun Xiangfu's ear while being paid respects by the tenants.

"Hehe, they are all half-hu and half-han locals. My husband thinks that their appearance and characteristics can just help open up our business." Sun Xiangfu looked at the tenants who had changed their clothes and looked human. road.

"My husband is already a marquis now, and I still have the official position of Governor Shi. Why do you still think about doing business in your mind! If this is impeached by the ministers of the court, many things will happen. Isn't this concubine ready to get married? Is Wangjiang Tower broken..."

"What madam said is true. As a husband, I just want to hand over the property at hand to the servants to take care of. These days, I have to trouble my madam to pick out some people with better eloquence and arithmetic talents to teach them. My husband will handle business registration for them."

Businessmen, farmers, businessmen, and merchants have the lowest status, but there are still many people who are willing to be merchants, because merchants are easy to make money and easy to eat. No one cares about status and face before a full meal. Only when those merchants earn money Only when you have enough money will you think about face matters, which can be regarded as a kind of behavior when you are full and have nothing to do.

Sun Xiangfu is a later generation. He believes that as long as he does not discriminate against himself, no one can discriminate against him. He is no different from an idiot if he does not earn the benefits he can obviously earn.If he hadn't helped earn so much profit, how could Li Shimin be so relaxed now.

Seeing that Sun Xiangfu doesn't want to give up the interests of business, Yu Xiu'er can't say anything. Every noble family will raise some such people to take care of the property for themselves, and Yu Xiu'er can't have to ask Sun Xiangfu to give up these interests. The look on Xiangfu's face when he said this obviously had other meanings in it, so Yu Xiu'er had no choice but to agree to it for the time being, and later find a way to get Sun Xiangfu to speak clearly.

However, Sun Xiangfu was wrong. Li Shimin's life is not easy now. As the time enters midsummer, the plague of locusts in Guanzhong will inevitably break out.Not only that, but with the plague of locusts came the plague.

"It's not good, it's not good, something serious happened in Chang'an..."

Just as Sun Xiangfu and his wife were discussing the future development of their family, Li Chunfeng ran in from the door holding a pigeon.

"Li Daochang, what's the matter?" Although he knew that Li Chunfeng was in Shanyang, Sun Xiangfu hadn't seen him for a long time, maybe he was too busy to take care of him!

"In Guanzhong, a plague of locusts has broken out in Guanzhong. The locusts are overwhelming, and they eat whatever they see. There is also a plague in Weinan County. All the people in several market towns are infected with smallpox. Half the county is almost dead. Now His Majesty has come down." The purpose is to block the entire Weinan..."

Li Chunfeng only needed to describe it, and some pictures were created in Sun Xiangfu's mind. Yu Xiu'er and Uncle De covered their mouths in shock.

"I said why Daoist Sun didn't come to Shuozhou to study medicine with me for so long! It turned out that he was stumbled by the things in Chang'an..."

Li Chunfeng was still talking endlessly, but Sun Xiangfu recruited guards and said, "Hurry up and go to Luoyang, wait at the pier, and let the Lingnan fleet wait until I arrive."

"Li Daochang, there is something I need to trouble you to do immediately. I will set off later and meet you at Xingfu Village."

The good situation in Guanzhong was hard-won, and Sun Xiangfu didn't want to ruin it like this. Just now, he remembered the damn butterfly effect, the outbreak of the plague in Weinan, did it happen in history?
He didn't dare to bet that Weinan was too close to Chang'an, a metropolis with a population of one million. If the epidemic could not be controlled, the entire Tang Dynasty might be destroyed by a plague, but he just happened to know the way to prevent smallpox.

Sun Xiangfu was whispering to Li Chunfeng, while Yu Xiu'er reminded, "Husband, you are now an official of the imperial court, and you are not allowed to leave without your will."

"It's this time, how can I still care about it? Saving people is the most important thing, Li Daochang, this matter is of great importance, I will entrust it to you, Jun Mai, people! Where did you die? Hurry up and call the county chiefs for me , the generals above the brigade commander and above of the Unity Battalion will be here, and I want to have a meeting..."

Yu Xiu'er didn't feel any resentment because Sun Xiangfu ignored her reminder, on the contrary, it made her see more clearly what kind of person her husband was. It was a plague, a devil who would die if touched. He, who has always been greedy for life and afraid of death, decided to come forward without any hesitation.

"Husband, if you insist on returning to Chang'an at this time, let this concubine go back with you!"

Yu Xiu'er, who was only 15 years old, was not as mature as Sun Xiangfu. She just felt impulsively that even if she died, the two of them should die together, so she tightly grabbed Sun Xiangfu's sleeve and said.

"Oh, my baby, don't make any trouble. What can you do to help me? You should help me take care of my family business here! This is all my hard work! The matter in Guanzhong is a piece of cake. Look at my husband and I, with a flip of our hands, we wiped out the locusts, dispelled the plague, and made this world clear from now on..."

Sun Xiangfu's casual words did not comfort Yu Xiuer, the more relaxed he said, the more Yu Xiuer felt the danger of Chang'an.

Women, this is often the case, you can't reason with her, or even tell the truth, she will always follow her own feelings and understand in reverse, so, there are men who are more likely to deceive women in later generations, it's a pity that Sun Xiangfu It's not this hang up, he really wants to return to Chang'an quickly and save the world.
