Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 419 Return to Chang'an

Sun Xiangfu never expected that Wu Meiniang would come to see him off with tears in his eyes. If her little hands were more honest and didn't touch his arms, he almost believed that this little girl, like other children, would have affection for the adults who were close to her. Dependence and reluctance.

"Little girl, do you still want to steal from uncle for the third time?"

"Ah, I was discovered by Uncle Sun, but Meier knows that Uncle won't blame Meier! So, if you can steal it, why don't you steal it!"

Wu Meiniang didn't realize that she was caught at all. On the contrary, she made full use of her own advantages and smiled at Sun Xiangfu with a cute expression, resolving the embarrassment.

"You are just a dissatisfied person, wanting to take all the good things in this world for yourself, but never thought, will you really get happiness in this way?

People, often the more you get, the more you will be coveted. It will be very unhappy to be on guard against others or fight with them all your life. "

Sun Xiangfu talked a little too much, even though Wu Meiniang was far more intelligent than ordinary people, she couldn't understand what he said immediately, after all, her age was there.

Seeing a hint of confusion in her eyes, Sun Xiangfu reached into his arms to touch it, and said with a smile, "Then let's see what good things you didn't steal."

As he said that, Sun Xiangfu took out a booklet that he compiled and edited by himself, and Wu Meiniang also wanted to steal it when he saw the bulge in his arms.

"It was originally a booklet! Meier thought it was some kind of novelty treasure!"

After all, children are curious and playful. After having checkers and binoculars, Wu Meiniang instinctively thought that Sun Xiangfu had similar good things on him, but when she saw that it was a booklet, she showed a hint of disappointment.

"Uncle Sun will teach you a truth today. If you can't get it, it may not be good. If it looks bad, it may be a treasure.

This booklet was compiled by me in the past two years. It is intended to be used as a teaching material for the children of farmers. You should know all the vernacular Chinese and characters. You are now a core disciple of the Sect. At that time, you can ask your father to take you to Chang'an to find me, and your father will agree. "

After finishing speaking, Sun Xiangfu solemnly handed the pamphlet into Wu Meiniang's hands, and gave a hug to the warrior Xun who was not far behind her as a gesture, and then got back on his horse.

Wu Meiniang really wanted to open the booklet on the spot to see what was written in it, but she saw that Sun Xiangfu was already waving to her immediately, so she held up the booklet and waved goodbye to him. Finally, amidst the sound of horseshoes, she saw Watching Sun Xiangfu and his party walk away gradually.

What Sun Xiangfu left behind is already regarded as the basic chapter of scientific planting, and it is also the beginning of the first formal textbook after agricultural education has embarked on a scientific path.

The further the Tang Dynasty develops, the greater the demand for planting technology will be. Just like the wetland planting industry in the land of Jingxiang, if there are a few people at the level of agricultural disciples as guides, this year will be a transition year, and next year it will be able to A certain scale has been formed, but the actual situation is not. Therefore, the time when it forms a scale and begins to explode will be delayed by at least two or three years.

This situation will also appear in other places. Therefore, the farm needs to expand and gradually enter the society. Otherwise, it will not be able to meet the needs of this society for agriculture, so that more people will be separated from agriculture and engaged in agriculture. Industry and commerce, after all, the people mainly consume crop products.

Sun Xiangfu is looking forward to some surprises from the intelligent Wu Meiniang, just like expecting Li Chunfeng to surprise you in mathematics. Smart people should not limit their wisdom to the narrow cognition in history , creation, pioneering, is something meaningful to future generations.

The advantage of rushing to the Shangyuan Festival is that Sun Xiangfu has the opportunity to see the scenes of the Shangyuan Festival in several cities. The fourth year of Zhenguan is an important turning point in the history of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin destroyed the Turks in this year, and Sifang Xiaoxiao has since Don't dare to covet the Li and Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, after this year, the weather began to be smooth everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, and the country's economy began to take off rapidly. Every year, the small barbarian countries around them paid tribute and proclaimed their vassals, and sent their students to Chang'an to learn Chinese culture, so that the Chinese civilization began to spread rapidly to the whole world. world spread.

However, due to the arrival of Sun Xiangfu, history has changed a lot. Datang’s national power has become stronger. The Turks were wiped out two years ago. Datang has entered another important turning point, the war with Goguryeo , Moreover, the war between Tubo and Li Tang may break out in advance. This can be regarded as a battle for Asian supremacy!

The superficial form of war is that soldiers fight each other, but its essence is to serve politics. Wars between big powers are often economical. Goguryeo has a strong foundation, and it is doomed that Datang will be a protracted war here. battle.

The foundation of Tubo is weaker, and the few battles in history have all been waves.

Besides these two wolves, there was also a group of jackals yelling nearby, that was Tuyuhun and the various ministries of the party. Sun Xiangfu had just arrived in Luoyang and learned some news from Chang'an.

The first batch of military equipment produced by the smelter was actually transferred to the Niu Jinda Army and Li Ji Army in Yaozhou and Shanzhou. It seems that Li Shimin wanted to take the initiative to participate in the fake fight between Tuyuhun and various party ministries. The battlefield was placed outside the mainland of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, his strength had become stronger, and he no longer allowed Tuyuhun and other party ministries to exist beside his couch.

After arriving in Luoyang, Sun Xiangfu also chose to spend the night in Xicun to rest. Here, he will also face an industrial upgrading and transformation. If they only rely on farming and breeding, their limit will reach the current scale. Luoyang's transportation is more convenient than Chang'an. The scope of radiation is wider. Before that, Sun Xiangfu gave Changsun Wuji a lot of development suggestions. Of course, he himself will not be left behind.

"Village chief, what do you mean, we want to expand the breeding of chicken, duck and pig seedlings, and reduce the scale of seedling breeding in the future?"

"That's right, we are already able to eat meat. Next, we have to find a way to let the people all over the world eat meat. Selling seedlings is more profitable and labor-saving than breeding mature seedlings, and it can also develop supporting industries. I hope that in the future, you can provide chicken, duck and pig seedlings to all the states and counties that the canal can radiate, so that some businessmen or self-employed individuals who want to cooperate can purchase seedlings from you on a large scale.

Then, you provide them with breeding technical support, which can be charged, and you can also sell feed to them, or find a place with a relatively large output of feed raw materials and set up a feed branch..."

Once the industry spreads out, it will be like a big net that is constantly being strengthened and woven. It will become thinner and bigger. What the ancients lack is only this kind of concept. When they really work, they may suffer more than modern people. Hard work, because they are a generation that is afraid of poverty and hunger.

Wang Erniu is not a person who will become a wise man if he is enlightened, but he has a characteristic, that is, he will act in full accordance with the method Sun Xiangfu explained. I believe that when the transformation of Xicun Village is gradually formed, Sun Xiangfu only needs to If an advertisement is published in the newspaper, countless businessmen who want to get involved in the breeding industry will come to Xi Village to seek cooperation with him.

Moreover, although Xicun only has [-] to [-] mu of land, its potential is far more than that, because in the past two years, they have accumulated a certain amount of wealth, and with wealth, they can invest in projects. There are too many, most people eat noodles as their staple food. Every time Sun Xiangfu goes to Xicun, he can’t help but eat a few more bowls of noodles. That huge billboard across the street.

Instant noodles, people who understand it, often live a deeper life, but in this era, it can be regarded as a top-notch delicacy, and it must be a best-selling product when it is developed. There are actually too many snacks that can be developed. Give them a general description of a direction and let them research on their own. Making these less valuable agricultural products produced by ordinary people more valuable is the benefit of commercial development.

It was already the 22nd of the first lunar month when Sun Xiangfu arrived in Chang'an. Li Shimin specially held a court meeting in the morning, mainly discussing the issue of mission trips. Sun Xiangfu did not catch up with the court meeting. When he arrived at the city of Chang'an, it was already afternoon , when he learned that the team of the mission had already reached the temporary bridge, after changing horses in front of the mansion, he quickly chased in the direction of the mission. After chasing and sending, there is no one left.

As dusk approaches, 4000 miles west of the bridge is where the envoys are stationed. Even if everyone has camels and horses to travel, this team of 100 to [-] people, in Guanzhong with a wide and flat concrete road, can travel one day. The traveling distance is only more than [-] miles. That is to say, even if they keep walking at this speed, it will take three or four months to reach the Western Regions thousands of miles away. In fact, It may take nearly half a year, and from the time it takes Hu merchants from the Western Regions to Chang'an every year, we can roughly infer the time required for the journey.

Assuming that their return time is in September of the sixth year of Zhenguan, before the First Under Heaven Sports Conference in Dingxiang City is held, then the time they have actually been active in the Western Regions is less than two years. During this time, they need The projects negotiated and finalized involve a lot of fields, and they may be in a relatively busy state. Sun Xiangfu has relatively high expectations for the mission, although through some letters, he has had repeated discussions with most of them. However, he still wants to come and give it away in person if conditions permit.

"I knew that Dudu Sun would definitely come back to see us off."

Outside the camp, Ma Zhou walked towards the main road from a distance, and beside him, Sun Erli, who was wearing a new cotton official robe, followed closely. It is much easier to be the second person. Now, he is also one of the main officials of the mission. Li Shimin gave him the title of doctor of the Ministry of Agriculture of the fifth rank. Like the accompanying officials of several other major departments, he is second only to the mission The senior officials of the regiment's principal and deputy envoys have the power to represent Datang and negotiate with the countries in the Western Regions on all matters related to agriculture.

After Sun Erli, many people followed from the camp. Except for the officials who were familiar with Sun Xiangfu, most of them were newly promoted members of the art troupe, led by Li Xiangdie and Yao Hongxiu.
