Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 314 Li Shimin's New Comprehension

There were not many Yinans coming, just three thousand riders. Anyway, the north city gate is very close to the barracks. Sun Xiangfu personally went to welcome him to the barracks. This time, Yinan was more familiar than last time. Sun Xiangfu Let Daying's cafeteria get them some cold noodles, naan bread, iced milk wine, etc., and he ate and drank them unceremoniously.

During the dinner, Yi Nan said to Sun Xiangfu who was eating and drinking with him, "You wrote that the emperor wanted to reward us Xue Yantuo, but is it true?"

Sun Xiangfu replied, "Of course, there are a lot of rewards this time. Your Majesty plans to go to Mobei to distribute summer clothes to the people of Xue Yantuo, as well as some special products in Guanzhong. By the way, I also want to see where you want to build Khan City. Then, what kind of help can he provide you?"

Hearing this, Yi Nan had mixed feelings in his heart. It seemed that his previous judgment on Li Shimin was a bit inaccurate. This Han emperor seemed to treat Xue Yantuo well. Help, it's a little too much for all good.

"Well, the emperor doesn't want us Xue Yantuo to pay taxes to the Tang court!" Yi Nan asked tentatively.

Sun Xiangfu heard the words, but he smiled leisurely, "Don't worry, the imperial court has plenty of money, not short of Xue Yantuo's yearly tribute. His Majesty is just worried that your life on the grassland will be difficult, and wants to provide you with some help as much as possible." That's all."

This year is an important year for Datang to get rid of external worries and start internal development. As long as it passes through, the overall national strength will grow very rapidly in the future, because after some reforms, Datang’s political efficiency and people’s output will increase. It is several times stronger than in history. In history, Li Shimin can dominate the Quartet, not to mention the addition of so many conditions.

What Sun Xiangfu described to Yinan was Li Shimin's kind side, and the military parade ceremony was Li Shimin's side of showing power. He used both kindness and power to suppress Xiaoxiao and stabilize the frontier. To surpass other countries is Datang's current major goal.

What Sun Xiangfu told Yi Nan was not a lie, so Yi Nan couldn't find any flaws, and said, "Then, how can I refer to the soldiers and horses I brought over?"

"It's simple. There are complete sets of military uniforms in the barracks, as well as clean horses. You can ask your soldiers to change them later. When the time comes, just ask the soldiers to obey General Su's arrangements."

The idea of ​​letting Yi Nan's soldiers and generals refer to it was a temporary thought of Sun Xiangfu. This is also a way to declare the Tang Dynasty's sovereignty over Xue Yantuo, but Yi Nan, or most of the ancients in this period, would not have thought of such deep.

And the costumes and equipment that Sun Xiangfu asked his subordinates to prepare for Xue Yantuo's soldiers were quite impressive. At that time, when the leaders of the surrounding ministries saw that Xue Yantuo had gained benefits after joining the Tang Dynasty, and felt envious, that would be right.

As long as they have the desire to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, Sun Xiangfu can knock them down with all kinds of sugar-coated shells.

It was not early, and Sun Xiangfu arranged for Yi Nan and his followers to eat and drink before going to bed. After dawn, he still had a lot of preparations for the reception.

In June, the summer flowers in Shanyang were in full bloom. After leaving Mayi and heading north, the emperor’s convoy could not move for less than thirty or forty miles. The reason was that the sea of ​​flowers in front of him was so beautiful. The accompanying concubines, including Concubine Yan, all wanted to stop to admire the flowers, so Li Shimin naturally agreed.

The fragrance blown by the summer wind made Li Shimin feel good. Li Lizhi and Li Mengjiang caused a lot of troubles for flowers, and weaved a big garland for themselves to wear on their heads. Sun Deshou and Sun Xiaomei followed behind them to remind her Some flowers have thorns and cannot be picked.

The chubby Li Taihe wanted to compose a poem to please Li Shimin, but he didn't think of any good words, so he wandered around the flower fields scratching his ears.

Li Chengqian found a high slope, sat down on the ground, and played his guitar. Hou Shuya naturally also plucked his own strings, which coincided with it. Dongzhu heard their music, and danced among the flowers. Yuchi Baolin was admiring her dance posture intoxicated, and these pictures were all recorded in the scroll by a brush of Yan Liben.

"Hey, it's a pity that Sun Zhengming is not here. If he can write a good poem, this painting will be beautiful." Yan Liben sighed regretfully after finishing the painting.

"Yan Shilang don't have to regret it, the beauty of our Shanyang is not just the flower field, no matter how exquisite your painting is, it is still an incomplete painting of colorful flowers."

Yuchi Baolin had been an official in Shanyang for two years, so of course he knew the characteristics of Shanyang clearly, so he began to explain to Yan Liben some of the popular scenic spots in Shanyang.

The first scene is viewing flowers at the top of the city. The wall of Shanyang City is more than five feet high, and the highest point of the city gate to the south even reaches six or seven feet. To the extreme, it is full of colorful flowers, which Sun Xiangfu called "the sea of ​​flowers connecting the sky".

To the east of Shuimen is the wide and gentle Sanggan River. This section of the river is very straight. In the morning, the sun just rises at the end of the long river. , is naturally the red light of the rising sun, so Sun Xiangfu called it "the rising sun is like fire".

There are also Populus euphratica trees along the banks of the Sanggan River in the city. Sun Xiangfu once sang a poem and praised, "The golden eyes are golden and beautiful, and they form a scene to read the vicissitudes of life."

Its branches and leaves are particularly conspicuous under the sunshine of the north, and they are unique in the city. Shanyang City was built in a hurry. Except for the flower building along the Sanggan River, there are no buildings in the whole city. In any direction in the city, just go to the center. If you look in the direction of the Sanggan River, you will see beautiful flower buildings and the bright colors.

In addition, the street view of Shanyang is also very beautiful. It is the only city in this era that has leisure squares. In the west of the city, there is Taohuahu Square near Tiantianju. People made a lot of stone carvings and other things to stand there, and many poems representing Han culture were engraved on them, so that the people in the city can continue to be familiar with Chinese characters when they are wandering.

Of course, entertainment places like the racetrack are also very unique. For people at this time, it is also a place to enjoy the scenery. There will be a horse race every three days. Usually, polo can also be played. Tang Xungui and the descendants of the aristocratic family all like this one.

Not long after, Li Shimin, whose concubines picked a lot of flowers in the flower field, also walked up to the high slope where Li Chengqian played the piano. Looking far away, he found many farmers busy in the flower field, so he called Sun Deshou over to ask questions.

"Deshou, do you know why your elder brother didn't plant edible grains in this hundred miles of fertile soil, but planted all kinds of flowers instead?"

Sun Deshou heard the words, and replied with a smile, "It should be that besides the suitable place, planting flowers is more profitable than growing grain!"

"That is to say, when he was planting these things, he was thinking about how to make money?"

Li Shimin knew that Sun Deshou was telling the truth, because the economic value of flower fields was indeed much higher than that of growing grain. Just look at the prices of honey, perfume, and essential oils.

But if, when Sun Xiangfu knew that it would make money when he planted these things, it would be great. With such a method, the Sun family could earn all the wealth in the world just by relying on the benefits of agriculture.

Because, up to now, Li Shimin doesn't know how many outlandish things Sun Xiangfu can plant. Some time ago, the secret guard told him that several sons and brothers in Shanyang were looking for oak tree seedlings, and it was because Sun Xiangfu wanted to use them. Oak trees, to plant the top mountain Hericium erinaceus.

Even as the emperor, he seldom eats such great nourishing ingredients as Hericium erinaceus. Now, Sun Xiangfu can plant a large number of them. The profits here, not to mention the heart of the family, even Li Shimin's heart .

Hearing what Li Shimin said, Sun Deshou shook his head and said, "That's not true, any industry in Xingfu Village can help my brother earn enough money. I can't afford him to earn for a few years. He planted these things only because we in Tang Dynasty, or in other words, this world lacks and needs this kind of thing.

He once told Weichen that the food in our Tang Dynasty is too scarce, so we must find a way to cultivate more new crops to enrich everyone's food. When everyone's food is abundant, the body will be healthier and stronger The life expectancy will be longer. Everyone should live to be 80 or [-] years old to be normal.

Also, our Datang linen clothes are not warm enough, so he tried his best to grow cotton. This year, the cotton produced in Guanzhong and Shanyang is enough for half of us in Datang to wear cotton clothes. In two or three years, it is not impossible for the people of the entire Tang Dynasty to wear more comfortable and warm cotton-padded clothes and warm and thick quilts. injury.

As for the perfumes, essential oils, etc. produced by the flower field, I believe that my brother also has considerations. At least, when it is popularized, we don't have to endure the strange smell of those barbarians. "

After being told by Sun Deshou, Li Shimin really felt that the flower field had some meaning. The smell of the barbarians really disliked the Han people. If this perfume can be popularized, it can solve this problem. However, this road may It is still very long. If you only grow flowers in Shanyang, the output will definitely not be enough.

The best place to grow flowers is actually the south where the seasons are like spring. Sun Xiangfu's primary purpose of planting flowers in Shanyang is to attract Hu merchants to Shanyang and promote the economic development of Shanyang. Can a group of people have such a good time in this wilderness?

I believe that these ministers who have watched the beautiful scenery of the sea of ​​flowers will never forget the scenery here. When they go back to brag, they will definitely mention it occasionally. This will make many people who have never been here and have seen it like this After hearing the beautiful scenery, people yearn for this place, but don't underestimate this sense of yearning. It may be the core of Shanyang's development in the future.

Because as the city on the prairie continues to advance deeper, Shanyang's industry will definitely move forward. At that time, this place will become a central area in the north of Datang, and the people of Datang who have become rich, I would prefer to live or play in places with beautiful scenery like Shanyang.

Of course, there are other purposes, which require Li Shimin to slowly observe and discover.

"Well, your elder brother's accomplishments in the way of farming are unprecedented. I brought all of you farmers' children to Shanyang this time, and I hope you can learn his skills better, and even surpass him. I want to see Let's see how strong our country can be by developing farming to the extreme."

Since the implementation of the feudal system, the Chinese nation has adhered to the basic development path based on agriculture, but there is no ruler who really attaches great importance to agriculture. Therefore, after thousands of years, agricultural technology has not made any leaps development of.

However, when it came to Li Shimin, it was different.Datang produced Sun Zhengming, a genius in agriculture.

It can be said that Sun Xiangfu's farming technology played a more than half of the credit for Datang's current situation. This made Li Shimin realize that agriculture and rejuvenation of the country seem to be a good way.

It is precisely because of the strong agricultural support that Li Shimin has the capital to pull hundreds of carts of melons and fruits and millions of pieces of clothing to the grassland to attract people's hearts.

It is precisely because of the strong agricultural support that merchants from the countries of the Western Regions looked forward to the Great Tang, and Xue Yantuo bowed their heads to the Great Tang.

All strong foundations should be based on sufficient agricultural output, because enough agricultural output can free up people's hands to do many things, such as the development of industry, commerce, and even cultural education.

So, should the court pay more attention to agriculture?At the very least, we need a yamen to manage agriculture across the country!
At this moment, Li Shimin was born in Li Shimin's mind to upgrade Sinong Temple to the Ministry of Agriculture and become a department that is on par with the Six Ministries and specializes in managing the country's agriculture.
