Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 452

After the army went out, the whole city of Chang'an was full of sadness. The chiefs of the surrounding ethnic minorities, guarding generals, etc. all returned to their hometowns or defense areas.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and others who stayed behind in the center had many things to do, such as agreeing with the chiefs of the ethnic minorities on the number, location, and time of resettlement, allocating supplies for them, and reserving the funds allocated to them. houses, fields, etc.

At Zhang Cheng's request, Shelong stayed in Chang'an for one more day before embarking on the return journey. Dozens of bantam horses had many Guanzhong specialties, toothbrushes, soap, and even perfume presented to them by Li Shimin. Wine, exquisite glass, silk, porcelain, all kinds of delicious and easy-to-storage cans, and some military uniforms, all of which are available in spring, summer, autumn and winter, made him feel full when he was on his way home, and he wanted to take these A good thing, showing off in front of the clansmen.

Now, he has made up his mind to accomplish one thing, which is to complete the task entrusted by Li Shimin. As long as this is done, his clansmen will be able to enjoy these good things for a long time.

Outside the Yanping Gate, Zhang Ruyan held a pipa and played a piece for his elder brother. The reason why Zhang Cheng wanted to stay an extra day was to see his younger sister wearing the current cultural troupe costume. There is a letter hidden in the little sister's room. If the little sister can see this letter by chance, it is God's will.

Women always like to cry when facing separation. This is something a man like Zhang Cheng doesn't want to see, so he waited until the younger sister finished playing the song, and gave the horse a hard whip on the buttocks, so that he could be as soon as possible. The younger sister's life should be full of joy, but his own life should be full of intrigues, intrigues, and all kinds of bad things.

Of course, there are still a group of people in Chang'an who are not in a hurry to leave, and that is A Yue's father and daughter and many tribal leaders in Lingnan. Feng An sent them to Chang'an to prevent them from being reluctant to see their tribe fall apart. They will come out to do things, so there is no rush to let them go back. After visiting Chang'an, Uncle De will arrange for them to visit Weinan, or even go north to Shanyang. In short, besides letting them play, let them play .

Ah Yue has now started to follow Yu Xiuer to systematically learn Han Chinese musical instruments, singing and dancing. She has a clever mind and a talent for languages. , but it made Yu Xiuer a lot easier.

What is not easy is Cheng Chumo. His buttocks were swollen all the way to Shanyang. However, Sun Xiangfu always had a reason why he thought it was worth it after being beaten. Finally, they figured out a method of using iron grain carts to deal with all kinds of invading enemies. At the same time, in terms of scouts and scouts, they also used the advantages of telescopes to a higher level.

What Cheng Chumo couldn't have imagined was that when he saw Yuchi Baolin again, his buttocks were so swollen that he could hardly walk, but that guy had noticed this matter, so he had to prevent this guy from playing tricks from time to time .

"Hey, monkeys don't walk like you! What's the matter, you've become a general with two spikes and three, and you still have to be beaten every day!"

Yuchi Baolin was just making fun of it nakedly. The two spikes and three he said were the two wheat spikes and three silver stars on Cheng Chumo's shoulders. Yuchi Baolin from a while ago naturally recognized him.

Knowing that Yuchi Baolin was mocking him, but Cheng Chumo had no rebuttal to say, he could only look at Yuchi Baolin's fatter face and clenched his fists.

"Why did you go back to Shanyang? The mission His Majesty entrusted to you is to let the people of Xue Yantuo sing Chinese songs and fall in love with Han culture."

When Sun Xiangfu saw Yuchi Baolin at the foot of Shanyang City, he was also a little surprised. This guy didn't write a letter to himself before.

"I can't do it if I don't come back! Dongzhu is pregnant. I'm worried that she won't be able to give birth in Ulaanbaatar. The medical conditions of our Shanyang Medical College are better. It is said that when my wife gave birth, you cut open her stomach to take it. It came out, and adults and children are fine, didn't I think that bringing her to Shanyang Sheng would be [-]% safe."

"That's a last resort. It may not be safe, but I still congratulate you in advance on becoming a father. When your father comes later, you may be so happy!"

The three talked and laughed for a while, and then saw Chu Suiliang leading a group of civil and military officials from Shanyang to greet the team. After greeting each other, the big guys walked into the city while talking about business.

"The governor and the workshops in Shanyang have already produced a specified amount of ordnance and equipment in accordance with the requirements of the imperial court. At present, we only need to wait for enough raw materials to be shipped from various places before we can continue the follow-up production."

Production equipment in Shanyang has an advantage, that is, coal is cheap and labor is not expensive. Moreover, Shanyang is only three or four thousand miles away from the northeast front line, and the middle is all grassland. If you march quickly, you can arrive in more than ten days. .

But there are also many disadvantages, that is, it is a bit far away from the Central Plains. For example, heavy metal minerals are produced in the Northland. If you want to transport them from the Central Plains, you need to travel one or two thousand miles by land. The transportation cost is very high. Chang'an and Luoyang, which are not as well-developed in waterway transportation, are as neat as they are. If the demand is too large, work will often stop due to insufficient supply of raw materials.

"How is the construction of His Majesty's palace going?"

"The main building has been completed and the renovation period has begun. However, due to the relatively luxurious requirements and many special installations, the renovation time may be longer than the main building. It should not be completed until next year."

It took two years to build a modern and relatively high palace. This speed is already considered fast. However, along the way, Sun Xiangfu found that something seemed to be missing.

"Where's the prince?"

"Uh, the prince has been in Dingxiang City for the past few months."

"Your Majesty will arrive in Shanyang in two days. Isn't the prince afraid of accidents if you don't hurry up and prepare to meet him?"

Hearing this, Chu Suiliang felt deeply guilty. According to the will, Li Chengqian should have stayed in Shanyang to study politics, but since he released the "The Condor Heroes" scene, he was very popular with the people, so he asked him He proposed that he wanted to go to Dingxiang City to perform. Chu Suiliang knew that this drama had political significance in promoting national integration, so he agreed. Who would have imagined that after Li Chengqian went to Dingxiang, he would not come back.

His play was very popular in Dingxiang. Facing the enthusiastic eyes of the Hu people, he immediately felt that he had found the value of life. Facing Chu Suiliang's repeated urgings, he remained indifferent. In the past six months, I haven't learned much about politics, but just like in history, I like to dress up as a barbarian and play in the theater.

"Zhang Ke, now, immediately, immediately, go to Dingxiang, and I will tie the prince to me. Changsun Chong knows the importance of this matter, and he will support you."

Sun Xiangfu, who had been in correspondence with Chu Suiliang and Chang Sun Chong, knew that the two were busier than the other, and it was good that Li Chengqian didn't make trouble for them, as there would be no time to discipline him all day long, and gradually began to enter the rebellious period Li Chengqian is not as easy to manage as he was a few years ago. He always has some ideas of his own. As a subject, you have to worry about his feelings as the future monarch. No, only people like Sun Xiangfu who are not afraid of his future revenge dare to be tough in front of him.

Poor Zhang Ke, the logistics army of Cheng Chumo, who was tired of training all the way, arrived in Shanyang, without even a drink of saliva, so he had to run to Dingxiang with all his strength. This is more than 200 miles away!In two days, you have to run back and forth. The key is to bring the delicate prince with you when you return.

"Inspector Chu, let the officials of all ministries gather at the Yamen of the Duhu Mansion first to report on their work. In addition, send someone to the nursery and inform my second brother that they will come too!"

In a sense, Sun Deshou is already a real-time official of the yamen of the Anbei Metropolitan Government, because he presided over the spring plowing in Beidi this year, and the effect is not bad. The growth is very good, especially the half-grain and half-grass oats. After the fields he planted have been organized, the output this year is enough to supply livestock in several large pens in Shanyang. As for spices, cotton and various melons and fruits, Under the circumstances that most novice farmers of the Hu people were responsible for the specific situation, they also ensured a high survival rate, and their growth was not inferior to the results in Guanzhong last year, which is quite rare.

The officials of the various divisions were already in the team to welcome Sun Xiangfu, and they had already made preparations to report. After Sun Xiangfu sat down in the hall of the yamen of the Governor's Mansion, Li Hongyu, the chief household officer, reported first. civil affairs work.

Beidi includes four county-level cities and twelve county-level cities under construction. As of this spring, there are 120 million households, about 350 million people. All the small tribes in the nearby cities have settled outside their households, and the people with five surnames and seven families who moved from the Central Plains accounted for the majority.

Now, there are almost 40 households under the jurisdiction of Shanyang County, and 30 households in Dingxiang. The rest of Ulan, Tai'an, and Shangqi each have 10,000+ households. Shanyang and Dingxiang are relatively concentrated.

Then, in terms of taxation, there has also been a relatively large increase this year. In addition to the substantial increase in various commercial taxes due to the construction of the four major counties, the agricultural tax exemption policy will also expire this year. After the autumn harvest, the agricultural taxation The tax that comes up will be a new tax revenue growth point for Shanyang. After all, there was no tax at all before.

Judging from Li Hongyu's report, as of June, Shanyang's tax revenue has exceeded one million guan, and for the whole year, the total revenue of the entire Northland can exceed 300 million guan. The tax increase that will be brought by the business team.

After that, there are various construction aspects. The construction of Shanyang City has basically come to an end, and if it continues to be built, it will be demolition of old houses and renovation. Simple and a great waste of land, this needs to be corrected slowly.

Various not-so-advanced factories occupy nearly a quarter of the city. In the future, with the transformation of industries, some factories will need to be relocated to Dingxiang or other county towns, such as animal husbandry and fur factories. It is more suitable to put it in Dingxiang, where there are more pastures and herdsmen. It is more suitable to put the smelting and forging plant in Ulan City, where it is more convenient to receive iron ore from Hebei Road and Northeast China. Transforming to a central city, focusing on education and talent delivery.
