Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 352 Goguryeo Kou Bian

In the face of interests, there is no such thing as politeness, face, and the like.

Lu Wenzhong didn't have many choices. Even if he was reluctant, he could only temporarily give up the trade market in the northeast direction to the Cui family of Qinghe. There is not much to eat, so even if it is an enclave, the Lu family will not be left behind.

"Sun Dudu, if I wait for a few families to replace the fields in the pass to the surrounding area of ​​Shangqi City, I don't know, will there be enough land suitable for cultivation for the several families to develop?"

"Of course there is, and you have a huge space for development to the surrounding areas. After you develop your own land, the imperial court should immediately sell a new round of land, because the city of Shangqi is thousands of miles away. , are suitable places for farming.”

When the words "thousands of miles around" fell into the ears of several people, their expressions were all relaxed. You must know that based on the area of ​​acres in this period, a radius of one mile is [-] mu of land. Tens of millions of acres of land are enough for five families to replace more than a few million acres of land. In this kind of risky enclave, investing millions of acres of land is almost exactly the limit they can afford.

Of course, if they still have spare energy, Sun Xiangfu actually doesn’t mind selling them some land around Tai’an City, but not too much. There is a large part of the land that Sun Xiangfu left for the future from Gaochang and Qiuci. Waiting for the country to absorb the people.

Sun Xiangfu, who is familiar with some farming data of later generations, knows that the entire Xinjiang region can directly use more than one billion mu of land for agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery. The development of 3000 million mu of land in Shangqi City and Tai'an City is just a small fraction. As long as they have enough strength to develop, it is not a problem to give them millions of acres every year. Anyway, with agricultural output, building cities, and developing people's livelihood, it will be easier. After managing this land, it is to manage the Middle East and The foundations of Europe.

For farming matters, Sun Xiangfu's planning is very scientific. For example, from Pianguan, Hequ, to Shanyang, Dingxiang, and then to Ulan City, this is almost the southernmost part of Gansu, Shanxi, Hebei, and Inner Mongolia. These areas are important farming areas in the north in later generations, and their development will not affect the ecological environment.

Coupled with his vigorous promotion of tree planting, along the river, along the reservoir lake, and all the barren slopes, all are planted in large areas. With this trend, he is advancing all the way to the north of the desert. this strip.

Moreover, after the water system is protected, it is more likely to survive if trees are planted in desert areas. It would be best if the desert can be gradually reduced or eliminated in the future.You know, the ecological environment in this period is much better than before it was destroyed by the wasteland reclamation corps in later generations.

"Everyone, the imperial court's wish is for everyone to be prosperous together, including your family.

The starting point of the New Deal actually takes your interests into consideration. The court will never treat those who cooperate with the court badly. Just like the Wang family, they have gained a lot of benefits. Don’t you think that the governor can organize some people by himself to develop Do you grow crops like spices to make money?

Therefore, whether it is now or in the future, the governor hopes that you will not contradict the government's decree, analyze and interpret it carefully, and cooperate as much as possible. Not only will you become richer, but the court will also be able to do things with peace of mind.

This is all the governor said. I hope that when you report the amount of replacement land, you will also report some adjustment plans within your family to the imperial court, so that the imperial court can adjust resources according to your actual situation.

After all, it is the development of tens of millions of acres of land and the establishment of a county-level city. Everyone will invest a lot, so don't mess it up. "

Sun Xiangfu added a few words, which set the tone for this matter. As for how each family wants to do it, it is estimated that they will have to go back to discuss it before they can agree, but there are templates from the Wang family and the Cui family. I believe their final decision The adjustment plan should be almost the same.

As for the price they need to pay for the replacement of land, it also needs to be discussed based on the data of the acres they finally reported. Sun Xiangfu has already figured out the general direction, which is to borrow money without interest.

Although Shanyang’s financial revenue is very high, its net profit is only a few million yuan a year. Now, the four county-level cities of Dingxiang, Tai’an, Shangqi, and Ulan have to start construction one after another, and the total investment may reach as high as tens of millions. through.

Moreover, this is not counting those counties that will radiate these county-level cities and shoot hundreds of miles around. Even if there is a Shanyang cabinet that can borrow some money, Sun Xiangfu himself will use some money to invest, but it is impossible to make so much money live money.Once there is too much cash overdraft, if it is instigated by someone with a heart, and there is a run, then the credit of Shanyang Cabinet may collapse, and Sun Xiangfu dare not take such a risk.

Therefore, the few people with a total deposit of 3000 million guan in Shanyang Cabinet Square have become his first choice for private borrowing. It is also a good choice to save hundreds of thousands of guan in interest.

The starting point of the reform can only be implemented smoothly if it benefits everyone, at least on the surface. Sun Xiangfu used these methods to promote the structural reform of the aristocratic family. At present, it seems that it can indeed make them Seeking profit, in the longer term, is to let them get wealth, but lose the right to control the country.

In the past, the aristocratic family expanded internally, so they were often in a state of exploiting the interests of the people and the country. Sun Xiangfu led them to the track of external expansion, so the benefits they obtained, and the interests of the court, were actually the same Consistently, the more they earn, the more taxes the court will receive, and the actual control range and strategic depth can be extended thousands of miles, so why not do it!

After the general direction was basically negotiated, Sun Xiangfu immediately returned to the mansion and reported the situation to Li Shimin.

With this round of negotiations, the foundation for the construction and development of the four major county-level cities in the North has been laid, and there is no resistance to the full implementation of the New Deal. After completing these final tasks, Sun Xiangfu, the governor of Anbei, will not have to be restrained all the time In the north, compared with solving the livelihood and development problems of 2000 million Han people in Datang Pass, solving the development problems of more than 100 million people in the north is actually not a big deal.

"It's certainly the imperial court's wish that the few masters exchange their land outside the pass. However, according to your strategy, they will inevitably bring a large number of serf tenants who used to help them farm in the pass to develop outside the pass. Suddenly, all parts of the pass will be vacant. There are tens of millions of acres of fertile land, do I let them sit idle?"

After listening to Sun Xiangfu's report, Li Shimin asked a follow-up question.

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu replied with a smile, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten the industrial adjustment that I mentioned earlier?
Like this year, a large amount of cotton has been planted in Guanzhong and Beidi. Those people who originally planted mulberry, raised silkworms, and made traditional fabrics will inevitably suffer a blow to their income. Your Majesty can just take this opportunity to adjust their industries. , Allocate some fields to some of them who have been impacted and have low profitability for transformation.

Moreover, some obviously backward industries can also be eliminated by taking the opportunity.

For example, the paper industry in central Sichuan should be phased out, and the land we replaced can just be allocated to those people who are about to lose their jobs due to the rise of emerging industries.

In this way, our papermaking workshops in the Weinan Industrial Zone can produce a large amount of white paper and put it on the market. As long as these cheaper and exquisite paper are sold across the country, the cost of reading and education can be reduced. "

Sun Xiangfu just pointed out one or two points casually, which made Li Shimin suddenly enlightened and nodded again and again.

A long time ago, the workshops in Xingfu Village developed a new papermaking technology, but because they were afraid of impacting the market and making those who originally worked in this industry lose their jobs, they bet on it and did not spread it on a large scale. Now, it is The conditions are ripe.

Moreover, not only can these backward industries be adjusted, but the people in places where the fields were barren and did not produce much can also be included in the scope of adjustment. Those barren lands with little output, as long as they are not fools, anyone is willing to change them.

Such an adjustment can bring the overall output of Datang to a higher level. Thinking of this, Fang Xuanling said, "Your Majesty, Dudu Sun's words are justified. In our Datang, there are still many living in poor mountains and bad waters." The people in the land can just take this opportunity to move them to a rich land with fertile land. This will not only facilitate management, but also increase the output of all people and realize the prosperity of the people and the country.”

After Fang Xuanling, Sun Xiangfu followed up again and said, "What Prime Minister Fang said is very true. Why don't we let all states and counties count the poverty-stricken villages in their jurisdictions and report them to the imperial court, and the imperial court will report it based on the reports of several people. The number and location of the fields, the nearest distribution and relocation, such as Guanzhong, this time may replace millions of acres of good farmland, which is just right to move out the ethnic minorities who make a living in the land of Shuzhong, Jingxiang, and Tanzhou ······"

Fang Xuanling and Sun Xiangfu said to you, I said to me, soon, Li Shimin had a direction for what to do next.

But just as they were talking, Wang Deyong, who was on duty outside the study, rushed in hastily.

"Your Majesty, Goguryeo's [-] troops suddenly marched towards Hebei Road."

While talking anxiously, Wang Deyong unfolded a small note from a secret guard and handed it to Li Shimin.

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu and Fang Xuanling's heart skipped a beat, and they looked at each other.

"It is said that Li Jing and the generals of the guards came to discuss matters."

Li Shimin's good mood was instantly ruined by this news, and Sun Xiangfu seemed to have expected why Goguryeo would jump out to die at this juncture, and said, "Your Majesty, this is probably Wang Hao's method!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin gave the note in his hand to Sun Xiangfu to read.

Sure enough, Yuan Gai Suwen, who was captured alive by Zhao Long before and released by Sun Xiangfu, staged a mutiny a month and a half ago. King Rongliu of Goguryeo was beheaded by him, and the military and political power belonged to Yuan Gai Suwen. It was many years in advance.
