Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 537 I took the initiative to jump out
When Li Tai caught the first eel, he laughed.

When Sun Jing's frog was released by his father, Sun Xiangfu, he burst into tears.

The two people who were crying and laughing formed a very sharp contrast, which made Sun Jing feel even more wronged. He felt that the eel swimming in the bucket was not as fun as the jumping frog, but Sun Xiangfu told him , the frog can help him eat the annoying mosquitoes, at night, he should be let back to eat mosquitoes, and come to play with him tomorrow.

At dusk, Sun Xiangfu hugged Sun Wanyu, Chuntao hugged Sun Feng, and walked towards the village. In front, Sun Jing and Sun Wanting were engaged in a chasing battle. Behind, Hongmei carried a basket containing fresh tender lotus pods and vegetables The vegetables picked in the field, not only stir-fried shredded eel to eat tonight, but also braised loach with cucumber, braised small crucian carp, scrambled eggs with leeks, dried beans and other dishes. Have a drink.

Li Tai, who successfully caught the rice field eel, was a little bit happy. The sun was almost setting, and he was not in a hurry to go back, because they had to handle their own ingredients, and rice field eels were more delicious ingredients.

In the past two months, these princes have gradually no longer disliked the dirty land, and they are no longer so unfamiliar with things like lighting a fire, cooking and washing clothes, which are only done by rural children. Of course, they did not No matter how well you do it, most of the time you are forced to do it and barely get by.

"When I was in my hometown in Hedong, I always wanted to come out to do things, at least it wouldn't be so boring. I didn't expect that when I came out to do things, I always wanted to live in peace and ease in my hometown." Playing a fan, watching Sun Xiangfu proficient Lawyer Pei, who killed the fish, said with some emotion.

"Why, do you miss your princess wife, or do you miss your son?"

Lawyer Pei was married by Li Shimin before Pei Ji died of illness. He did not use any contraceptive measures like Sun Xiangfu. Therefore, although he was not as old as Sun Xiangfu, his son was almost four years old.

"I'm thinking about it! However, I'm still a dignified Duke of Wei. I don't have a corresponding position, so I can't justify it. It's a pity that during the mourning period, I didn't catch up with our Tang Dynasty. Now, I'm just a general Compared with his peers, his position is much worse."

The general of the sixteen guards is actually not low in rank. He is on the fifth rank, on the same level as the governor of Zhongzhou in the current local government system. Of course, his score can be compared with anyone else.

A few friends from the same period, Sun Xiangfu is now the prince's young teacher. From the second rank, the eldest Sun Chong is also the governor of Shangjun. From the third rank, he also has the title of Yinqing Guanglu doctor. The next step is to go to Anxi The Governor's Mansion is the long history of real power and the governor of Anxi County at the county level.

Even Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin, who are two years younger, are both leading generals with real power at the fourth-rank level, and have their own affairs. In comparison, Lawyer Pei's position is relatively low.

In fact, what he cares about is not that he has a low position, but that he has contributed too little to this country. Even when he is drinking and chatting with his brothers, he has nothing to brag about.

"At present, the organization of the construction of the embankment is actually a great achievement. After all, it is impossible for the whole army of Zuo Xiaowei to manage the farming here all the year round. When His Majesty leaves for Shanyang, there should be a transfer order. , when the time comes, you can ask yourself to stay in the headquarters to take charge of organizing the construction of the embankment here. After three or four years, the scale of the embankment will be large-scale, and my fine rice will be cultivated. Your official position will definitely follow. Upgrade to a higher level."

"What do you mean, I can't earn credit, I can only earn some hard work, but if this is the case, won't I have no chance to watch the competition in Dingxiang City?"

"If you go to Dingxiang, you will be on duty and stand guard. It may be difficult to watch the game, but don't worry, you should be able to watch it next time."

"Why?"

"Because I will apply to His Majesty to set the next sports meeting in Jingzhou. At that time, many water sports will be added, which will not only attract people from the Western Regions and various ethnic minorities to the hinterland of the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty. , feel the culture of our Han people, and make the local people more enthusiastic about water projects, so that overseas exploration and investment companies can more easily recruit talents who are not afraid of water, or even good at water."

"Will His Majesty agree?"

"Probably yes, because His Majesty is very satisfied with the current political and economic system in Guanzhong, and very much hopes that this system will be implemented nationwide. Shannan Road is located in the central region, and it is a place that Datang's local development cannot bypass. Only when it is well developed here , so that it can bloom in all directions across the country and drive the development of the entire country."

"I don't know anything about politics, but my headquarters has only 3000 people. Can I manage these hundreds of thousands of people?"

"It shouldn't be difficult. The longer the people work, the more proficient they will be. This group of people will not need much management after another month. With the advance planning of Jingzhou local government soldiers, you should do some material work. I will select talents from among the migrant workers, build a management organization, and deal with possible larger-scale embankment projects in winter.”

After the labor force has increased by more than 20 times than before, the speed of building embankments has also increased by more than 20 times than before. Originally, two embankments with an area of ​​about 20 mu could be built in one year, but now, it can be built. The cost is more than 20 yuan, so don’t look at the long dikes built by some super embankments, such as the dikes with [-] mu of land, if you really start to build one, you may be able to complete one in three or four months.

As for the overall scale, not to mention that it is required to reach the scale of more than 500 paddy fields in later generations, it only needs to be built for two or three hundred yuan, and there is a high-yielding rice field of 300 million mu. The problem can be properly solved, because the 2000 million mu of high-yield paddy fields, if there are two seasons a year, is enough for 2000 million people to eat. This area alone can produce food for 4000 million people. What do the regions add up to?At least five times more than the output here!In addition to the new development of the Northland and the increase in the Sifang New Territory, the total number of acres in the Tang Dynasty has exceeded 4000 million mu. No matter how fast the people of the Tang Dynasty breed, it is impossible to find out Several times, because the breeding of the population takes time.

Lawyer Pei nodded and said, "Okay! Anyway, there are no battles in other places. I stay here and I can be your company."

While cleaning the killed fish, Sun Xiangfu said, "If Your Majesty agrees with you staying, take Princess Linhai and her son to live here!"

"Yes, I will ask General Feng to give a memorial to His Majesty when I go back to this matter, and it should be finalized soon."

After Zhang Gongjin, the former General Zuo Xiaowei, was transferred to be the governor of Anton, Feng Zhidai was also promoted from General Zuo Xiaowei to a higher rank because of Feng An's great contribution and his own contributions in the Eastern Expedition. As General Zuo Xiaowei, it is naturally better to go through him for the arrangement of lawyer Pei's thousands of people.

"Okay! You go to the living room and wait for dinner. My food will be ready soon after it's put into the pot. I'll treat you with good wine and food. When you go to work on the construction site later, don't think it's hot. If you are tired of taking care of things, you have to pay for this meal."

"Don't! I'm just here to learn a few dishes secretly! When you have nothing to do, you can make it yourself to beat the teeth. Do you think you are good at cooking! In our house, uh cough... "

The two big men walked around the kitchen stove, which made Hongmei and Chuntao a lot easier. When it comes to the speed of population reproduction, the Sun Mansion is indeed a bit slow, and the two young children are over one year old. , Hongmei and Chuntao finally conceived again.

In fact, Sun Xiangfu was afraid that the children would be too young, and it would be difficult for them to take care of them.After more than a year, when the two little ones are born at the beginning of next year, Sun Feng and Sun Wanyu can almost let them go and play by themselves, so the adults will be more relaxed.

As for handing over the task of taking care of the children to those nannies and maids, Sun Xiangfu is not very willing. In his opinion, family affection needs to be enjoyed by himself, so basically as long as he is not busy with business, he will He is willing to put his energy on raising his children, like Sun Feng and Sun Wanyu's two concubine children, he also poops and urinates, hugs and plays games, sings to lull them to sleep, and loves them as much as a legitimate son and a legitimate daughter.

When Sun Xiangfu was living a leisure life of bringing up children and meeting friends, the life of the Jingzhou family was not easy. After the news that Sun Xiangfu officially took over the post of chief executive of Shannan Road was released, they found that Sun Xiangfu had dismissed the farmers from all over the country. Officials, and the transfer of food from the Changping warehouse, is not that simple.

Now, Sun Xiangfu has all the grain in the Changping warehouse. The original plan of several people to buy the grain from the Changping warehouse at a low price and sell it to the common people at a high price has gone bankrupt.

Moreover, Sun Xiangfu also used these grains to gather all the people who were in trouble during the floods to Dongting Lake and Honghu Lake to develop the embankment, which reduced the number of people under their rule by three to four percent out of thin air. But it was a bit difficult to force them.

Because, the more than [-] prefectures in Shannan Road are only the land controlled by these big clans, which are along the river, where the land is relatively fertile and the population is relatively large. Most of the other states and counties are mostly mountainous areas with a small population It is said that it has not been affected much, and the number of people who were collected by the waterway transfer company to build the embankment on the other side of the embankment is naturally less.

Therefore, the people who built the embankment mainly came from the states and counties under their control, which is not unrelated to their past actions.

Because people in this period, as long as their lives are not particularly difficult, are unwilling to leave their hometowns. Even if the factories in Weinan offer so high salaries for recruiting workers, they have not seen people from all over the country rushing to Weinan. Difficulty is the common sentiment of the common people in this era.

When the people knew that there might be no way to survive if they stayed, they would be easily transported away by the people of the waterway transfer company and accept Sun Xiangfu's arrangement.

Without the labor force being exploited by the tyrants in these places, their income will naturally be greatly reduced. Naturally, the few people will not sit back and watch their own interests be damaged, leaving their fields vacant and uncultivated. You know, the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, The climate is fairly warm. Even when there is a flood, the fields are flooded, but after the water recedes, one more season of rice can be planted, and after the autumn harvest, another season of rape, peas and other crops can be planted. season output.

Therefore, these people are going to jump out to make trouble again, but they have never experienced paramilitary level intelligence battles, and they have not noticed that someone is closely monitoring them.

After dinner, Sun Xiangfu saw the information sent by Wuying'er in the study, and he muttered with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "If they don't jump out, I have no excuse to punish them. If they want to jump out, then don't blame me gone."

If Sun Xiangfu takes the initiative to attack the local tycoons, it will cause uneasiness and backlash among the officials in the court. After all, most of the middle and senior officials in the court are connected with a family behind them. However, if these local tyrants take the initiative to jump out to provoke Sun Xiangfu, if Sun Xiangfu passively counterattacked, it would not mean the same thing.

In terms of attitude and standpoint, Sun Xiangfu has to make it clear that he is not fighting against all the local families, nor is Li Shimin going to take action against all the big families in the country, but because some of the policies he implements are in line with the interests of some local families in Jingzhou. It's just a conflict, I didn't want to make a big deal, but I didn't want to make a big deal, but these aristocratic families didn't want to, so they had to be forced to fight. The ministers of the court and China have nothing to do with this matter, they can stand aside, because this is a local problem , has nothing to do with the aristocratic families in other places.
