Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 608 The Season of Sowing

Li Xiangdie is very good at sticking to the duty of a concubine to entertain people with sex, so she tried her best to let Sun Xiangfu have his best, after a big battle, the whole bathroom was wet. Yao Hongxiu, who insisted on peeking through the crack of the door, was ashamed as if she had been scalded by boiling water. Fortunately, she won the rock-paper-scissors bet before, so she got a chance to watch the live broadcast and learn how to give people A chance to be a concubine.

Seeing Li Xiangdie's bewitched expressions, as well as the complacent eyes she glanced towards the crack of the door from time to time, Yao Hongxiu couldn't stand it any longer, turned around and ran towards her room.

After leaving the courtyard, she saw Yu Xiu'er and her little maid waiting outside in her clothes.

"Is it Xiangdie tonight? Then you will work harder tomorrow night."

Hearing Yu Xiuer's joking words, Yao Hongxiu felt his face was burning, and ran to his room in a panic. Yu Xiuer looked at her back with a smile, and said to Xiaocui, the maid beside her, "The rooms are all arranged! When the master comes out later, take him there to rest."

"It's been arranged, the two rooms are together!" Xiao Cui replied.

Yu Xiuer is very satisfied with her arrangement. She knew that Sun Xiangfu often shared the same bed with Hongmei Chuntao and Hongmei Chuntao. It is also possible to add two sons to the Sun family, so that the Sun family will have a sense of family. Spring is the season for planting, so Yu Xiuer naturally wants to use Sun Xiangfu as a planter. At this stage, her thoughts are fully mature and rational. What's more, it's no longer the love between a man and a woman before, but the inheritance and growth of the family, which is related to the family education she received since she was a child.

Therefore, she didn't even need Sun Xiangfu to think about the names of the third and fourth sons. She just named them all. Sun Xiangfu can be regarded as having four sons and two daughters.

Early the next morning, Sun Xiangfu, whose body had been completely indulged, got dressed and got up under Li Xiangdie's service. When making the bed, Li Xiangdie looked a little lonely.

Seeing her expression, Sun Xiangfu immediately understood, hugged her in his arms and said, "Xiang Die, I have one more thing to tell you, the education I have received since I was a child! For some aspects, I am not very good. I care, so don't take it to heart, as long as we are happy when we live together."

After Li Xiangdie was a prisoner, she fell into Wang's hands after being sold out. Her innocence is long gone. That's why, as an oiran lady, she has music talents that surpass Yu Xiuer's, but she always behaves somewhat in front of Sun Xiangfu. The reason for her low self-esteem is also the reason why she has a concubine as a concubine and cannot be compared with her wife. Few of the brothels bought back as concubines are original goods, but he doesn't know that the one who lives in Sun Xiangfu In this era, it may be very difficult to find an original woman in society, so I can only go to school.

"Husband, you are so kind."

Li Xiangdie, who is obviously two years older than Sun Xiangfu, showed a look of being a little bird, which made Sun Xiangfu feel very enjoyable, a plump woman, as expected, especially she has been to the Western Regions and met all kinds of barbarians Naturally, she has learned a lot about her debauched behavior. Regardless of her feelings, at least Sun Xiangfu is obsessed with her body now.

After leaving the room and entering the restaurant, Sun Xiangfu always looked at him with strange eyes. He didn't know that someone else watched the live broadcast last night, so he didn't understand why Yao Hongxiu's face was red like a burning cloud, A big bowl of ginseng stewed chicken soup was his breakfast. After eating, Sun Xiangfu went straight into the study room in the mansion. Here, there are still many things that he needs to explain to the children of the farm. Or the main captain and crew like Zhao Long. In addition, Sun Xiangfu and Li Chunfeng will work out the textbooks from Lantian Vocational and Technical College in a systematic way.

The half month from the Spring Festival to the Shangyuan Festival is actually considered a bathing day for the imperial court. Li Shimin has carried out the popular route that Sun Xiangfu designed for him before. From the third day of the new year, he went to various villages in Guanzhong , to send New Year's greetings and condolences to some elderly elders. He was pleasantly surprised to find that it is very difficult to find a poorer family in several counties around Chang'an. Even those ethnic minorities who moved here , as well as the people in the Northeast, also lived in warm and solid brick houses. There was a lot of surplus food in the house, and there was even a lot of meat hanging on the beams of the houses.

Since there are many milk babies in the village, Li Shimin simply changed the condolences from grain, rice, vegetables, fruits and meat to milk powder. It is said that this stuff is good for the elderly and children. Anyway, the cattle and sheep imported from the northern pastoral areas to Guanzhong, There are more and more dairy products, and promoting them to the whole people will not only improve the health of the people in Guanzhong, but also help the herdsmen in the north to expand their sales. In the past, how could he have imagined that every family could eat meat and drink milk powder? screen.

"Xiao Xiang, since ancient times, I'm afraid no one under the rule of a king can be as rich as the people under my rule!"

Seeing Li Shimin's appearance of begging for praise, even if he was as straightforward as Xiao Yu, he was embarrassed to attack him, and said truthfully, "According to the historical records, there is indeed no such thing, but we can't be complacent, Zhengming has already shown the world in Shannan Road. People have proved that we can do better."

If there is no "but" in the back, Li Shimin will definitely be very happy. With this but, Li Shimin's whole good mood will be ruined. All the ministers began to follow suit, and the content was naturally to persuade him to suspend his military affairs and concentrate on developing the people's livelihood, making him feel that everyone seemed to be on Sun Xiangfu's side, so he was very passive. Under the circumstances, this year's plan to continue westward expansion was stopped. This feeling of passively making decisions is very bad.

"I want to tour the south again this year, what does Prime Minister Xiao think?"

Xiao Yu replied, "The distant sea exploration fleet will set sail this summer. It's okay for Your Majesty to go to Lingnan to have a look at that time. The crown prince has already governed in a very orderly manner. Your Majesty can still stay with him to supervise the country."

"After the prince gets married next month, he will be considered an adult. I intend to entrust more government affairs to him. At that time, I will ask Prime Minister Xiao to correct me."

"Hehe, maybe Zhengming is the only one who can point the finger at the prince. The thinking of the old ministers can't keep up with the footsteps of their young people. This year, the nationwide land allocation policy will be implemented. At that time, please Your Majesty, please change the Officials who have been strong and powerful for many years have entered the center to cope with the increasingly busy government affairs."

Ordinarily, when the country is rich, it should be easier to manage. However, this is not the case. The larger the territory and the more population, the difficulty of governance will increase exponentially.

For example, the current Ministry of Industry is carrying out several super-large projects comparable to the construction of the Grand Canal in the former Sui Dynasty. The Ministry of Commerce has developed more and more state-owned enterprises, and the industries taken over from Sun Xiangfu , This year it may reach more than 50. As for the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Finance, the workload is even greater. The crazy increase in finance and taxes requires people to collect and calculate them.

It is quite difficult to focus on good mistakes in all these aspects, not to mention that the current strategy of Datang's administration is to plan first and prevent mistakes and omissions in advance, so the workload to be undertaken will naturally be even greater.

And Xiao Yu is an old man who will be 60 years old in one year. In this era, he is already considered the elder among the old people. He does have the ability to manage government affairs, but his physical strength cannot keep up. It took a few hours to deal with the big things that needed to be signed and signed by the various ministries. It was a kind of torment from morning to night, from mental to physical strength.

"Does Xiao Xiang have any good candidates to recommend?"

Li Shimin knows a little bit about the situation of the Zhengshitang. The stalls managed by various departments are getting bigger and bigger. Even Fang Xuanling, who is the most capable, can only manage one Ritual Department at present, because several sets of the Ritual Department The total number of officials in the system has reached thousands. Just one education department, from the Guozijian of the central school, to the teachers and teachers of the prefectures and counties in the capital, has reached more than [-], and the number of students has exceeded hundreds of thousands.

In addition, there are diplomatic outlets, translators for various countries, resident missions, or envoys who are specially responsible for receiving and communicating, foreign guest services in the Siyi Pavilion, etc., which is another system with more than [-] people.

The cultural propaganda outlet is also huge. Several major art troupes are about to start nationwide cultural propaganda and education, and the four corners are the most important thing. He also has to take care of it when Tai Leling and the two Si Zheng are absent from work.

As for the ceremonial matters that the Ministry of Rites was originally in charge of, it is the simplest thing for the Ministry of Rites now.

If more talents are not allowed to take over and share some of the work at hand, they will all be exhausted at their desks in a few years.

"Shanyang Inspector Chu Suiliang, Shangqi Inspector Zhang Xingcheng, Wulan Inspector Yu Wenjie, Tai'an Inspector Xu Jingzong, one or two may be selected to take up important positions in the Central Committee.

Ma Zhou, the left servant of the Ministry of Commerce, Sun Fujia, the right servant of the Ministry of Justice, and Zhang Xuansu, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, can enter the political affairs hall.

There are still some capable first-level Langzhong officials in each ministry, such as Shangguanyi, Liu Yong, Li Zongren, Zhang Chongjian, etc. transferred from the local area, all of whom can take up the post of ministers. "

The more he listened to the back, the more Li Shimin frowned. Although these people are young, strong and capable, most of them are closely related to Sun Xiangfu. In the direction of politics, most of them follow the path guided by Sun Xiangfu. This made him feel very uneasy.

"Xiao Xiangke made arrangements with the Ministry of Officials, and I will reply with a seal. This time when I go to Lingnan, I want to take the Han River waterway, so I will go to Shannan Road first."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu was taken aback. At this time, most places in Shannan Road were construction sites, and there was nothing to see. To put it bluntly, he probably wanted to chat with Sun Xiangfu. After understanding what Li Shimin meant, Xiao Yu Yu nodded and said, "It's good to go to Shannan Road, maybe, you can see more possibilities there."

When Li Chengqian, who was in charge of the government in the palace, learned of Li Shimin's southern tour plan, he was depressed in his heart. Being able to handle government affairs well does not mean that he likes to handle government affairs. In history, he was in the early years. His performance can be said to be praised by everyone, whether he is listening to the government in the court, or as the elder brother of the princes and daughters in the palace, he can achieve more than [-] points, which can be called an example for the prince.

But he didn't understand the truth that being a prince under Li Shimin, the greater the ability, the more workload would be. Li Shimin would not consider his age and ability to withstand pressure. I'm too busy, after a few times of imprisonment, my personality has become more extreme, and I yearn for freedom more and more. Now, the situation seems to be the same as in history.

"I plan to take a hot air balloon to enjoy the night view of Chang'an during the Lantern Festival. Changsun Xiang, please go down and make arrangements."

"Your Highness, you still have a lot of political affairs to deal with, so you shouldn't be thinking about having fun."

"What political affairs?"

"The Tubo envoys are waiting for your reply! Your Majesty has entrusted you with full authority over this matter."

"Then invite them to take a hot air balloon to enjoy the night view of Chang'an. This should not delay the business!"

It was said that Sun Xiang, the head of the Eastern Palace, was speechless, so he had to take the order to make arrangements. When he turned around and went out, Li Chengqian looked at his back with a look of disgust, and tapped the numb hands holding the pen Looking at the table, thinking, I should find something interesting to do, otherwise, I might be suffocated to death in the palace.

Just in time, his eyes saw the memorial passed down by Changsun Wuji on the case table. While reading the memorial, Li Chengqian thought of Sun Xiangfu who was farming in Shannan Road. When he was around, let alone dealing with government affairs, he was Doing study will not let myself be as boring as I am now.

In the memorial, it happened to talk about the situation of officials in Jiuyuan County. Changsun Wuji explained in detail how the newly established administrative units in Shannan Road should be managed.

After reading it, Li Chengqian felt that not only the Yuantian area of ​​Shannan Road should be managed like Jiuyuan County, but the whole country should be managed like Jiuyuan County. In this way, he can relax like Sun Dali, the county magistrate. , to do what you like to do.
