Chapter 317 Visiting the Night Market

In summer, people are more willing to go out at night, especially when economic conditions permit, people with spare money on hand are more willing to live a comfortable life, such as buying a cup of iced milk tea at night, eating a few skewers of cumin roast lamb, etc. Yes, after the prices of these things have dropped repeatedly, they are not expensive in places of origin like Shanyang, and you can eat and drink for a few tens of pennies.

Li Shimin loves to eat these things very much, and enjoys the atmosphere of eating at street stalls with ordinary people, because through chatting with ordinary people who don't know him, he can better understand the local people's conditions.

After a while, he heard a new thing. Shanyang Medical College will open to recruit students in two days. Anyone who can read and want to be a doctor can sign up. Many people want to bring their own children Going to try it out tomorrow, because once you become a medical student, you will not only be in charge of food and housing, but you will also have a stable job and a good income in the future. Most importantly, after entering the medical school, you will have the opportunity to learn from the genius doctor Sun Simiao Medical.

"Where did you Shanyang get so much money? Not only can children study for free, but students can also study medicine for free. Tell me about it."

Regarding the matter of the medical school, Sun Xiangfu mentioned it to Li Shimin in the memorial before. At that time, he received Li Shimin's verbal support, but he never thought that Sun Xiangfu would play such a big role. Not only did he promote free medical treatment in Shanyang, but also Establish a college and support a large number of medical students.

"Your Majesty, I have always advocated taking money from the people and using it for the people. Last year, Shanyang's tax revenue exceeded 50 yuan. This year, it will exceed 100 million yuan. We should spend more of this money on people's livelihood and raise some medical students. Compared with the benefits they will bring to the governance of the Northland in the future, the funds are nothing worth mentioning.

You can look at those Turkic people who have been sick in the city, or people from surrounding tribes, whether they are still willing to leave Shanyang.

The answer must be 1 people who don’t want to, because as long as they are still in Shanyang, they will be treated immediately when they get sick. Everyone wants their lives to be protected. If we comply with their needs, they will support us. As long as these people stay and contribute to the development of Shanyang, no matter how much money we make, we can still earn it back. "

Medicine is very important to the development of the people's livelihood in a country. Sun Xiangfu only brought a small medical progress to Lingnan, and turned this place from a stagnant pool to a vibrant place. It is impossible to estimate how prosperous the entire country will be in the future.

After listening to Sun Xiangfu's explanation, Li Shimin immediately felt that it was very reasonable, because there are cases in Lingnan and Shanyang to look at, so he discussed with Fang Xuanling on the side, and planned to go to the medical school together the day after tomorrow, and when he thought of it, he would give Sun Simiao a good name. He has already thought about the official position of the Shanzhang of Yang Medical College. From the fourth grade, it is only one level lower than Guozijian Jijiu. The meaning is very clear. He wants to improve the status of medicine at the official level. It is positioned as a medical education institution of the imperial court.

Li Shimin's wisdom lies in the policies that are beneficial to the country and the people. He dares to implement them. In Sun Xiangfu's view, this is completely feasible. In later generations, the Minister of Education and the Minister of Health will still be at the same level!In this era, although it is not possible to pull to the same level all at once, it is normal to mention a similar position.

And because of this question, Li Shimin told Sun Xiangfu about his idea of ​​establishing the Ministry of Agriculture. In his heart, Sun Xiangfu should be the first minister of the Ministry of Agriculture in the Tang Dynasty.

The management of various things is becoming more and more detailed, which means that the political level of a country is improving. Compared with the governor of Anbei, who is also in charge of the army and administration, Sun Xiangfu is naturally more willing to be the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture. This is a real The official position that can give full play to his talents, and in the Anbei Dadu Protectorate, he is actually the most concerned about managing agriculture. In terms of military affairs, he has left all of them to Su Dingfang, and in terms of government affairs, he has also left them to Chu Suiliang.

However, the reform has to be done step by step, and the reform of the salary system has caused an earthquake in the court!The establishment of an additional department in addition to the six departments will naturally have a great impact on the overall structure of the court. Ideas and plans can be done first. If they are realized, it will be the next stage.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sun Xiangfu also proposed that the imperial court should set up a Ministry of Commerce to manage national commerce. Take Shanyang as an example, without professional people to manage, the order of commerce would be chaotic.

And all things are managed by the Governor's Yamen, first, it will be too busy, second, it will cause officials to have too much power in the local area, corrupt the law, and third, it will not be able to comprehensively plan, inefficiency, and prone to major incidents.

For example, in the first year of Zhenguan, the Hu merchants in the Western Regions were almost wiped out by the Changan Army. It will not happen again in the future. The sustainable development of business requires reasonable deployment of import and export commodity types, etc., which requires a group of people to stand at the highest point of view to do statistics, summary, and classification control.

Sun Xiangfu didn't know much about political issues. He also just put forward ideas and asked Li Shimin to brainstorm ideas and prove them. He just used some small examples to prove some feasibility to Li Shimin.

Shanyang not only has delicious snacks, but also has a variety of varieties. There are also many people who sing and talk on the street. This is deliberately created by Sun Xiangfu for cultural propaganda. Li Shimin also enjoyed a few passages while walking. He expressed his affirmation that within three to five years, the Turkic people in Shanyang will not be unfamiliar with Chinese, and within ten years, there will be no problems in communication, because, at that time, the children studying in Shanyang School have already left. In society, Chinese education is the mainstream in schools.

Sun Xiangfu did not dare to take Li Shimin to the Hualou along the Sanggan River. If something leaks to Empress Changsun, even if Sun Xiangfu is now in the second rank of the official residence, Empress Changsun would dare to smash his ass. After entering the Beicheng block, Sun Xiangfu brought Li Shimin to the commercial street.

The shops here are usually open for one or two hours at night. Today, the business hours may be extended, because there are many customers who pick up and buy goods in the shop. Soon, Li Shimin saw an acquaintance, who is Wei Zheng's family.

"Uh, what's the matter, is Xuan Cheng snapping up on the street overnight?"

Seeing Wei Zheng and his wife carrying a few servants carrying a lot of things on their shoulders, Li Shimin, who was a little embarrassed, asked first.

The emperor went shopping at night and met a minister with his family to sweep the goods. In fact, both of them were embarrassed.

Now that Li Shimin asked, Wei Zheng naturally had to answer, "I bought a house in Tianshangju in the west of the city today, and I'm buying furniture now!"

After saying this, Wei Zheng also took a look at Sun Xiangfu. If he didn't know this kid's work style very well, he wouldn't join the rush-buying army, because the price of the house in the sky has increased by [-]% today, and these furniture sellers In the store of decoration products, the goods have also increased by more than [-]%, needless to say, if you come back tomorrow, the price will still increase.

Because the house sells well, and the things needed in the house will definitely sell well. Since Sun Xiangfu has exhausted all means to sell Shanyang's house, then there must be follow-up routines.

"Then thank Mr. Wei for contributing to my Shanyang's financial and taxation." Sun Xiangfu smiled knowingly.

More than half of the property in Shanyang City is under the name of his Sun Mansion. As long as someone spends money in Shanyang, Sun Xiangfu can earn part of the money, which is much more than the tax collected by the government.

If you want to ask Sun Xiangfu what he earns so much money for, just look at the series of plans behind the jurisdiction of Shanyang Anbei Dadu Hufu.

There are so many cities to be built, and the government’s finances can afford a city wall. The infrastructure construction is good. The promotion of various industries still requires Sun Xiangfu to invest. Take a real estate project as an example, the initial start-up capital of a county-level city , It starts from hundreds of thousands, not to mention the initial start-up funds for greenhouses, large-scale animal husbandry, and agriculture.

For a tree nursery outside Shanyang City, Sun Xiangfu spent 30 yuan of start-up capital, and the amount will be doubled in the future. Without such a large amount of money and continuous labor input, how can it be possible to satisfy the millions of acres in the Northland? There are tens of millions, hundreds of millions of saplings for breeding seedlings on cultivated land, and even oak tree seedlings later!
Moreover, there will be nurseries like this in all county-level cities in the future. If you want to plant trees on the barren slopes of the entire grassland and fight against the desert, the money you need to invest is a bottomless pit.

"Since we met, Xuan Chengcheng will accompany me for a walk! I happen to have something to talk to you about."

Hearing this, Wei Zheng told his wife to take the servants back first, and he followed Li Shimin who was also dressed casually.

"Xuan Cheng came to Shanyang last year, did you notice any changes when you come again this time?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the changes have been too great. This city always gives people a feeling of vitality. The old minister only hates being dazzled and cannot see it clearly."

After all, Wei Zheng glanced at Sun Xiangfu again, but he knew that Sun Xiangfu made a kind of reading glasses, which can cure eye diseases. Yu Shinan has the same problem as him, but now, after wearing the glasses, he can read and write There was nothing wrong with it, and he even told Li Shimin that he wanted to compile a dictionary and simplify the fonts. Li Shimin agreed without thinking about it, and appointed him as the chief editor, and Ouyang Xun as the deputy chief editor. This task made Wei Zheng very greedy.

After being stared at by Wei Zheng, Sun Xiangfu smiled and said without embarrassment, "Hehe, I am dazzled, so I should wear a pair of glasses. I believe that Master Wei will also have a pair of glasses of his own in a short time. .”

Hearing this, Wei Zheng immediately rolled his eyes and said, "This old man knows, as long as you have the money ready, right!"

Sun Xiangfu continued to laugh and said, "Master Wei, don't think that talking about money is vulgar. If you don't talk about money, then there is the Tang Dynasty with such a splendid treasure."

When it comes to the word 'Wuhua Tianbao', Wei Zheng loses his temper, and now this is the only word that can describe the richness, preciousness, exquisiteness, etc., of Datang's materials.

"You're right, but should you take care of those barbarians from the Western Regions? Their clothes are so revealing and indecent!" Wei Zheng pointed to the side of the street, wearing a few pieces of cloth that covered key parts. A group of bearded women said.

After being pointed at by him, the eyes of several big men looked there at the same time, and suddenly, their eyes seemed to be dazzled by something. These bearded women are not only fair-skinned, tall and tall, but most importantly, they are very plump. Dancing in the street with the exposed hemisphere can easily cause a man to have a physiological reaction.

"Uh, isn't Mr. Wei old and dizzy? How could he see clearly that his clothes are exposed? No wonder Mrs. Madam was so angry just now! I guess Mr. Wei couldn't help but take a second look."

"Ha ha ha ha······"

Hearing the conversation between Sun Xiangfu and Wei Zheng, Li Shimin burst into laughter, and Wei Zheng's face turned pale in anger, but Sun Xiangfu didn't stop there, and said, "It's normal to wear less on a hot day. Besides, this is People's customs and habits, there is a country called Greece on the European continent, people don't pay attention to the defense of men and women like us Han people, just use a few pieces of cloth to cover the body.

Moreover, have you seen those black Kunlun slaves? There are many such black people living in overseas African continents. They don’t like to wear clothes. We see them without clothes, just like they see us in clothes. Clothes look the same, it will be very uncomfortable, but if our Tang Dynasty wants to be the strongest in the world, become the lord of all nations, and the center of the world, we must first accept, or allow them to maintain their own customs. "
