Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 338 Return to the City
Yuchi Baolin's married life is destined to be very busy. Accompanying Dongzhu to hold concert tours in various ministries in Mobei is his political task. It is estimated that until there is no new person in Mobei to replace Dongzhu, he will not be able to do this task. won't stop.

And Sun Xiangfu also took advantage of Li Shimin's visit to various ministries to observe the terrain of Mobei.

In later generations, the most famous crop here is sunflower, but it does not mean that the environment here is not suitable for planting other crops. The overall environment of this period is much better than that of later generations, with more sunshine, and due to the altitude, the temperature difference between day and night here is very large. Big, if the land is really cultivated here, the yield of some specific crops will definitely be very high. Of course, this is something that Sun Xiangfu will only consider in the next step in the development of Mobei.

After walking northward for eight or nine days, after passing Hang'ai Mountain, the water system became more and more developed. There are many tributaries of the Selen River and the Hun River, and lakes of various sizes can be seen everywhere. From the perspective of later generations, this place is almost in Mongolia. near the country's capital, Ulaanbaatar.

"Your Majesty, here is the best place to build Xueyantuo Khan City." After comprehensive analysis, Sun Xiangfu suggested to Li Shimin.

"Really? I still plan to go further north! It's not far enough!"

All elite cavalry, with one man and two horses, travel lightly and travel lightly. Counting from Dingxiang City in the northernmost part of the Tang Dynasty, they have traveled for almost half a month, and they have traveled at least two hundred miles a day. Shanyang has a straight-line distance of more than three thousand miles, which is far enough.

"Your Majesty, the barbarian is not stupid. The water and grass here are lush and the terrain is flat. It is the best grazing area in Mobei, and it is in the center of the entire Mobei region. Further north, it is even colder and unsuitable for living.

Moreover, although we are building a city of Khan for the barbarians, we are actually building a city for ourselves, and it is too far away from the outside world, so we may not be able to control it in the future. "

With the military power that Yinan now controls, if he does not want to confront the Tang Dynasty, there is still room for development to the west and north. Those locations are called Central Siberia and West Siberia in later generations, and they were used by the Han people during the Han Dynasty. It has been ruled, and now there should be many small tribes with a very backward civilization, but the ethnic characteristics are somewhat different from those of Asians.

Sun Xiangfu's suggestion to Li Shimin naturally has his considerations, the place is too far away, it is not suitable for Shanyang to do business with it, and the distance of more than 3000 miles, that is, the elite army marching under the leadership of the locals, can be used. It takes about half a month to get here, and it takes more than a month for ordinary merchants to get here from Shanyang.

If the distance is far, it will increase the transportation cost, thereby increasing the price of goods, and will also reduce the frequency of business exchanges. This is inconsistent with Sun Xiangfu's purpose of accelerating cultural transmission through frequent exchanges.

"Your Majesty, I think what Zhengming said is reasonable. This place is a plain area with few rocks. If there is any change in Xue Yantuo in the future, we will lead troops to attack, and they will have no ground to defend..."

The reason why Li Shimin brought so many generals to Mobei is to let everyone familiarize himself with the field environment. After Li Jing made a strategic analysis and made a suggestion, Li Shimin immediately felt relieved. Soon, he and Yi The men and women jointly selected a place near the river bank, and the craftsmen began preliminary surveying and mapping.

Of course, at this time, Sun Xiangfu also came to fool Yinan based on Datang's actual interests.

"Yinan Khan, you have seen the magnificence of Shanyang City, but you may not know why it maintains prosperity. Your Majesty is sympathetic to the lack of management and management skills of you Xue Yantuo, and specially formulated a set of official systems for you to manage the people efficiently. If you appoint the talents provided by several great families as officials, they will be able to help you manage the production and life of the people very well, which will greatly speed up the economic development of the Xueyantuo Khanate."

Hearing this, Yi Nan nodded. Li Shimin had talked to him about this before, and he himself felt that he should learn from the advanced management system of the Tang Dynasty, so he nodded and said, "What Dudu Sun said is right. I will appoint them according to the official system of the Tang Dynasty, and if it works, I will definitely spend a lot of money to hire more Han people to come to me, Xue Yantuo, to be officials."

Sun Xiangfu smiled and said, "Yiran Khan's talents are broad, Sheng Jieli, and Tuli are many generations. If this is the case, the land of Mobei will be able to get rid of the current situation of poverty and backwardness in a few years. Of course, if you really want to If you want to get rich, you need to learn from Shanyang in more aspects."

Yi Nan nodded in agreement, and said, "If Dudu Sun has any good suggestions, please tell Ben Khan, Ben Khan will thank you later."

Sun Xiangfu waved his hands and smiled, "It's just a matter of thanking you. We are all officials of the Tang Dynasty now. It is our duty to do our best to make the people of the Tang Dynasty prosperous and strong. This governor can't afford to be a barbarian. Thank you so much Khan."

Sun Xiangfu politely rejected Yi Nan's kindness, and said, "Actually, there is no secret to making the people rich. Prospering business is enough. You have been to Shanyang twice, right? You should know that Shanyang is rich. , because there were many merchants passing by and the volume of goods traded was large, which led to the prosperity of the whole people."

Hearing this, Yi Nan seemed to feel that he had found an idea, nodded and said, "Exactly, Shanyang was originally a barren place compared to this place, and it is precisely because of the establishment of the city and the development of commerce by you, Sun Dudu, that it has become more and more popular." It has become richer, you mean, if Ben Khan's Khan City develops business, it can also become rich quickly like Shanyang?"

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Of course, this time I brought a lot of merchants who are willing to come to Xueyantuo Khan City to open shops. You only need to allocate a certain amount of labor to them, and they will be able to quickly help you develop the city. Business.

For example, in the coal industry, there is a man named Wei Xingshan, in our Datang, who is a son of Webster who specializes in this industry. If you can give him some manpower, he can help you find coal mines in Mobei immediately, and Mining to make briquettes that are as useful as Shanyang.

In this way, you can build a large number of greenhouses for the cattle and sheep to spend the winter. As long as the cattle and sheep do not freeze to death in winter, in the coming year, the quantity will be so large that you can't eat it all.

And other merchants, such as the one named Xiao Qi, can help you sell all the cattle, sheep and horses produced by Xue Yantuo. At the same time, sell some commodities that Xue Yantuo needs. Can benefit a lot.

There are many other industries, so I won’t go into details one by one. For these Han merchants, you should communicate with them more and give them some preferential treatment and support. If you can let them lead more merchants to your Khan City to do business, then , it's hard for you to think about being rich here! "

From Yi Nan's point of view, the words Sun Xiangfu said can be regarded as every word. In fact, what Sun Xiangfu said was a real strategy to make Yi Nan rich.

However, in the future, Xueyantuo Khan City will not be like Shanyang, with a wide variety of goods, good quality, and rare goods. They just produce more cattle and sheep leather goods.

This will create another situation. Although the people of Xue Yantuo have increased their output due to the warm shed, they will have more places to spend money because of the introduction of various useful and expensive shops. , Ordinary herdsmen just sent the extra output to Datang at a low price. They themselves could not achieve wealth, and they were more like those noble leaders who were accustomed to extravagance. become poor.

In this process, the barbarian who is only responsible for collecting taxes will indeed become rich, but will gradually lose the popularity of the people. If the nobles and small tribal leaders under his banner want to continue to be rich and extravagant, they need more money. This kind of desire, if Yi Nan can't satisfy them, they will start to be alienated from Yi Nan.

Yi Nan can't satisfy them, but someone can!
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can easily let them live a good life. At that time, whether it is the officials in charge of the people's livelihood, the people at the bottom, or the nobles, the tribal leaders will support the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to directly manage this land , then, at this time, it can basically be declared that Yi Nan's era is over.

In the next two days, Yi Nan really met the various merchants brought by Sun Xiangfu very well, treated them as VIPs, and had banquets twice a day to ask for advice.

Li Shimin led tens of thousands of soldiers, as well as the 10,000+ people from Xue Yantuo's tribe who rushed over one after another to help Yinan build the Khan City. After digging the foundation of the new Khan City for a day, he was ready to say goodbye to everyone.

Before leaving, Li Shimin gave all the necessities of life that he did not need to bring back to the herdsmen of Xue Yantuo, which further deepened the favor of these Xue Yantuo people for him. Therefore, the large team that traveled lightly on the road, left It's very fast.

Since the construction of Khan City has just started, Yinan can't escape. This time, Xue Yantuo's men and horses participating in the big competition are led by Sang Jie. There are about 2000 people in total. They set off with Li Shimin's team. Anyway, they have seen Tang Jun After becoming stronger, Yi Nan didn't plan how many championships his subordinates could win.

As for the inside of Datang, it was lively. When the newspapers and pamphlets promoting the game were printed and distributed in large quantities, this matter instantly became a hot topic among the people.

No. [-] in the world!Who wouldn't?
Moreover, this kind of competition is not limited to fighting and killing.

Running, javelin, high jump, long jump, who can't?Some people think that they have special skills in a certain area, so they really want to try it.

Of course, the most important thing is those governors or governors of Shangzhou, who wouldn't want a group award of [-] guan?Even if you don't get the group award, a champion in a single event is still a reward of a thousand!Although it is a game three years later, you should go watch it now, accumulate some experience in the game, and at least know how to compare!

Almost as soon as they saw the newspaper, many governors issued recruitment orders and invited some rich and powerful families in the area, preparing to select talents and form a team to participate in the competition. For them, earning profits is only one aspect. It is even more important to show your face in front of the world.

For this kind of competitive things, the powerful family members are naturally the most concerned. They desire the title of number one in the world more than ordinary people. They almost don't even need to think about it. In the name of states and counties, they form teams to compete and compete for projects. While selecting talents from among their own family members and soldiers, they also spend a lot of money to search for talents with various talents in various places. Money is a trivial matter to them. The number one title must be contended for.

All of a sudden, the status of the warriors rose, and they became the targets of all forces in the Tang Dynasty. This achieved Sun Xiangfu's expected effect very well, maintaining and even carrying forward the martial spirit of the people of the Tang Dynasty, so that the warriors also had many The promotion channel.

Therefore, when Li Shimin's large team returned to Shanyang in early August, they were terrified by the lively scene on the streets of Shanyang. In such a huge city of Shanyang, on the streets that are several feet wide, people trampled on them. People, shoulder-to-shoulder scenes.

Chu Suiliang, who went to meet Li Shimin outside the city, was immediately called over for questioning.

"Your Majesty, more than ten days ago, people from all over the world began to pour into Shanyang. The number of people is no less than [-], and it is still increasing every day. The team of Hu merchants from the Western Regions who finished their shipments in Chang'an also returned to Shanyang at this time. up.

In addition to the tens of thousands of troops patrolling the north of the imperial court, as well as the officials and family members of the entourage, Shanyang City now has a population of almost 30 foreigners, which is more than twice the usual number. Therefore, the streets are very crowded. "

Shanyang is not as big as Chang'an, with more than 100 million people living here, but it still looks empty. It is only a quarter of Chang'an's size, with 80 million people living here, and it is a block system, so of course it will appear overcrowded.

However, the order was not disordered when people were full. Yuchi Baolin's chief of public security was resigned. The new chief of public security was Guo Da, a younger brother of Guo Po. He used to be a lieutenant in the Anbei Army. After arriving at the Public Security Department, he could ask the Anbei Army to second people to help manage the security in the city at any time, but nothing major happened.

Of course, this has something to do with the contingency plans that Sun Xiangfu and Chu Suiliang had discussed with Chu Suiliang for various problems caused by the population explosion. With a lot of preparations in advance, things will naturally not be messed up.
