Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 611

Li Shimin was very happy after listening to Li Chengqian's whole set of plans for Tubo in the imperial study room. For this plateau country where it is difficult for the army to go, it is basically the best way to deal with it. Therefore, the printing factory in Weinan started Getting busy, [-] sets of Four Books and Five Classics will soon be handed over to Brother Zan Xiruo. Moreover, Li Shimin has also begun to select a group of scholars in the Imperial College, and let them follow Brother Zan Xiruo to Tubo.

Useless is a scholar. This kind of nerd who can only read books is also useful. Li Shimin is not willing to send out those who know a lot and are capable. After dozens of nerds are selected, Li Shimin writes a lot With one wave, Rulin Lang, who is the ninth grade, was directly awarded the official title of Wensan. After that, if they made achievements in Tubo, they would be awarded the title, even without the imperial examination and internship, and they would directly start to be officials. Many scholars in Chang'an Shilin circle shouted that nerds will also have spring.

In late January, when Sun Xiangfu was busy with spring plowing, Zan Xiruo and his brothers led hundreds of carts of books and Li Shimin's edict to confer Songtsan Gampo as Tubo Zanpu, and set off to return to Tubo.

For them, this diplomacy was very successful, and for Datang, it was even more successful.

The Shangshu samurai Xun of the Ministry of Commerce called a meeting of many merchants in central Shu and Guanzhong. The purpose, of course, was to implement Li Chengqian's negotiation results.

The tributary agreement he mentioned, which seemed to allow the Tibetans to take advantage, actually set a hugely profitable price line for all merchants in the Tang Dynasty.

One camel of medicinal materials is exchanged for two camels of grain or cloth. What is the price?
Not to mention that if these medicinal materials are made into Chinese patent medicine pills, a small pill can be sold for tens of hundreds of dollars, or even a few pennies. The price of these medicinal raw materials alone is more than ten times the price of grain!The grain of Datang is really worthless now. The big white rice sold for 120 yuan per stone in Chang’an, but in Jiangnan and Lingnan, where there are three seasons of grain production, Doumi only sells for five or six yuan, and one stone only sells for fifty or sixty yuan. text only.

In a sense, the price of rare metal mines is even higher than that of gold, because gold is constantly flowing into Datang from the outside world, and Datang has no shortage of gold, which can really help Datang manufacture high-end equipment and promote What industrial progresses is rare metals that are rarer and more difficult to mine and smelt.

For example, the gears of water ships, if you want to make propellers that can drive more force, you need tougher metals to make them longer and more stable. Similarly, metal clocks are the same, which requires rare metals to make tough higher alloys.

And with food and cloth, such cheap things that Datang is currently producing in excess, or that can be produced in an infinite cycle, it is simply a big profit to exchange similar goods with Tubo.

The samurai Xun called these merchants to a meeting, first of all to unify the price, and then, after guaranteeing them a certain profit margin, let them supply medicinal materials to Shanyang Pharmaceutical Factory at a low price, so that all the people in Datang can use cheaper medicines. price, bought the drug.Because Sun Xiangfu's original intention of opening a pharmaceutical factory was not to use it to make a profit. The lower the price of the raw materials obtained by the pharmaceutical factory, the lower the price they sell to the private sector. Some of the profits from export will also be used to supply Shanyang School of medicine, research on patented medicines, and medical subsidies for some needy people.

As for Du Zhenglun, who has now been transferred to the Minister of the Ministry of Households, he is in charge of the construction of the new countryside. Zhangsun Wuji presided over, and he divided nearly a quarter of the entire area under his jurisdiction into a field construction area that is more advanced than the new rural construction. Although it will not be completed so soon, the current population of Shannan Road There are not so many, and it is not possible to fill all the areas that are suitable for development into paddy fields. County by county will be built, and county by county will be relocated, and it will be filled slowly.

Sun Xiangfu doesn't have to worry about these political matters. He can only take care of the field affairs now. The overall pace of life in the countryside is slow. Xiangfu talked about how to grow rice, but this did not affect the two newlyweds looking at their handsome husband in a daze.

"Hongxiu, do you think that the appearance of your husband when he is giving lectures to the people is the most charming?" In the yard, Li Xiangdie, who was tending to the vegetables that are going to be cooked tonight, looked at the field ridge not far away, and was giving the people a lecture. Sun Xiangfu, our lecturer, said.

"That's right, my husband is the most charming when he composes poems!" Yao Hongxiu, who was making a kite out of paste, disagreed.

"Really? What new work has he made?" After Li Xiangdie finished speaking, Xiang Yao Hongxiu was looking at the colored paper pasted on the bamboo slices, only to see four lines of short sentences written on the colored paper.

"The mountains and mountains are beautiful in the late days, the flowers and plants are fragrant in the spring breeze, the swallows are flying in the mud, and the mandarin ducks are sleeping in the warm sand."

After a while, Yao Hongxiu cut the colored paper glued on the bamboo into a swallow shape, and said with a smile, "Madam said, my husband's poetic talent is unparalleled in the world, but he seldom writes poems. I also found an excuse to make toys for the two little guys, Huan Lele, and guide them to read enlightenment poems, so I asked my husband to write two poems, which are really good."

"Yeah, it's really well written, especially the line 'Sha Nuan sleeps mandarin ducks'. I heard my wife said that my husband likes Hongmei and Chuntao to sleep together, so the two of them get pregnant at about the same time every time. Otherwise, let's go together tonight..."

Hearing this, Yao Hongxiu blushed, tapped Li Xiangdie's forehead and scolded with a smile, "You, you just can't change the bad habits brought from the brothel, such a good poem is all twisted by you. "

"Hehe, you don't know that. Men, there is no one who doesn't like women. The duty of us concubines is to satisfy your husband's hobbies. I didn't see that these days when your husband spends the night in my room , This habit is brought from the bones of their men, this husband is giving us a hint! Quickly let me see another song."

Li Xiangdie didn't care about Yao Hongxiu's laughing and cursing at all. After several times of intercourse, she and Sun Xiangfu's bedtime sex became more and more intense. She enjoyed Sun Xiangfu's obsession with her body very much, and pulled another picture After reading the colored paper with poems written by Yao Hongxiu, she immediately burst out laughing.

"Why are you laughing?" Yao Hongxiu snatched the colored paper from Li Xiangdie's hand and said shyly. She knew that Li Xiangdie must have misunderstood the poem again.

"This is definitely you, hahahaha..." Li Xiangdie laughed loudly,

Sun Xiangfu was in a good mood after seeing the scene of two concubines laughing and fighting in the courtyard, Yu Xiuer was pregnant, Hongmei and Chuntao had just given birth, and they all stayed at home in the county to take care of a group of children. Guy, here, Sun Xiangfu didn't even bring a few guards except for bringing a group of disciples from the Nongmen. In today's world, no one will be against Sun Xiangfu, because they can't bear the anger of the common people. Especially after the new rural construction and new farming methods gradually spread.

"The fish in the spring have roe in their stomachs. Let's go to the pond to catch some. Tonight, I will personally make a dry pot roe for you to eat."

"Okay, I'm going to get the fishing rod now." Li Xiangdie twisted her waist and ran towards the house. After becoming Sun Xiangfu's woman, she became happy and was much more lively than before. At the age of 25, she looks more and more like a teenage girl.

After a while, Yao Hongxiu also put away the kite he had made, and walked out of the courtyard with a five-stringed pipa in his arms. Behind him, Li Xiangdie, who was holding a fishing rod and a fishing basket, chased him out. Soon, They all sat on the black-covered boat supported by Sun Xiangfu himself.

"Brother, take the boat and row westward. The waterway with eighteen bends will arrive at my home."

"Brother, you are at the bow of the boat, singing fisherman's songs! Hide the boat there, under the stone bridge..."

With two singers by his side, Sun Xiangfu can enjoy the wonderful singing at any time. In this kind of day, he doesn’t even want to be a fairy, which greatly arouses the enthusiasm of the people around him who learn from him. , now, all the people in Jiuyuan County like to sing and dance to express their happy mood. Even the children who come home from school in the town will gather in small groups when they are walking on the road. Sing nursery rhymes together and live a very harmonious life.

Such a harmonious and beautiful picture will be written down by secret guards from time to time, and passed on to Chang'an, and also passed on to Chang'an, as well as some of the usual performances of the fourteen princes.

Now they rarely ask Sun Xiangfu to criticize them. The environment will change people, and time will make them mature slowly. Think carefully about the year or so that Sun Xiangfu has been here, and look at the local people They have gradually realized something, and it may take a long time before they can fully understand the principle of this change. At that time, even if they are not a virtuous king, at least they will not be a dandy who harms the country and the people Prince.

The fish in the pond are easy to catch, because there are too many, and the most direct manifestation of the good ecological environment is that with some advanced fishing tools, there are too many fish caught in Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River. The fish pond in the courtyard has not been cleared for more than three years, and the fish in it are almost mature.

Therefore, Sun Xiangfu had a big dinner today, and the eldest grandson Wuji, who came to him to discuss matters, happened to catch up.

"Your Majesty, I'm going to visit Shannan Road in a month's time."

"Really? A grassroots like me don't need to receive him!"

"It's not necessary, but you have to be mentally prepared. Don't say that Feng An sent troops to attack the Nabi Kingdom. It has nothing to do with you."

"Well, it really doesn't matter. When he forwarded Prince Varnabi's distress letter to me, his army had already been at sea for several days. However, Zhao Long, who set off from the Weinan Shipyard, I told him some tasks."

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji took a meaningful look at Sun Xiangfu, and sighed, "Zhengming! You say that you are a grassroots citizen in the wild, but you can dictate the important military and political affairs of the country. What do you think His Majesty?"

Sun Xiangfu scratched his hair, thinking about it, it is true that during the past few months when he was dismissed from office, although he looked like he was farming in Jiuyuan County, he seemed to have expressed his own opinions on many major events of the court. Then, these opinions were all implemented in the end, which really made Li Shimin have a different feeling for him. Could it be that the great Tang Dynasty has reached the point where it cannot function well without Sun Zhengming?A Sun Xiangfu in the opposition has such a lot of energy, what if he is in power?
