Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 707

Communication is always the best bridge to solve problems.

Li Chengqian, whose status has not been threatened, has one good thing, that is, he does not need to be eager for quick success and seek performance in the political arena.

Unlike Li Tai, who went to gatherings of literati and collected followers after arriving in Jiangling City, he only needs to honestly do well the tasks assigned to him by Li Shimin, and his contribution will be indisputable.

Of course, the current Li Tai doesn't have that much thought about that position anymore. He participates everywhere and even holds literary conferences to recruit talents. In fact, Feng An taught him to do so.

There is no way, Lingnan lacks such talents!Even the rotten Confucians of Guozijian, as long as they agree to go to Lingnan and teach the local people to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, then they are valuable to Lingnan.

Moreover, after taking over Feng An's many industries and holding more industries to be developed in the future, Li Tai is not worried about Lingnan's financial burden.

He offers high salaries to these people. Every scholar who is willing to go has a monthly salary of [-] yuan, which is equivalent to the salary of a ninth-rank official in the Central Plains. Moreover, they also have a commission for literacy business, and teach a Lingnan commoner Write thousands of characters by heart, reward consistent money, teach more, earn more, no upper limit.

Later, he will play Li Shimin and apply for an increase in the salary of officials in remote areas. , getting more money is also a way to increase everyone's enthusiasm for working in remote areas.

In the short term, this method may not have much effect, because Datang is developing too fast, there is a shortage of manpower everywhere, and when the level of education reaches a certain level, it is not difficult to find a more promising job.

But in the long run, there are many benefits. When talents are produced in batches and gradually meet the needs of the country, remote areas will also become a good choice.

Li Chengqian, who had something to do, had just walked away, and Sun Xiangfu, who was continuing to work with his wives at the venue, saw Li Tai, who said that the main stadium of the sports meeting has become a scene of Jiangling City, and it is along the Changhu Lake side built.

Now, those who charter a boat to visit the lake will ask the boatman to row the boat to the main stadium to visit the garden. Therefore, Li Tai took a group of literati to visit the lake and happened to meet him.

"You guys continue to swim in the lake. Once you pay for food and drink, it's my king's. Master Sun is on the shore, and my king is going to pay a visit. Let's say goodbye today. Let's meet again some other day!"

"His Royal Highness, go slowly."

Li Tai said goodbye to the scholars on the boat, and soon, he was escorted by a group of scholars to the shore.

The side of the main stadium facing the water was originally built like a pier. Li Shimin’s appearance this year was to come from the lake on a [-] shi Baosteel boat. The embankment river, the day before the opening ceremony, he was going to turn into the long lake from the artificially excavated river when he was building the embankment.

"Did the teacher come to see the teacher's wife?" Li Tai and Sun Xiangfu laughed after seeing the ceremony.

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "As for training the singing and dancing artists, communicate with them on the spot. Why, look at you, you seem to be in a good mood!"

Li Tai looked around and saw that there were no outsiders, so he lowered his voice and said, "I talked to the Persians and the big cannibals about cooperation intentions for a few big deals. The teacher will help me see if it's feasible."

"A big deal with Persia, the big cannibal?"

Sun Xiangfu was a little interested, and said, "Tell me about it."

Li Tai said slightly proudly, "They want the food produced in our Lingnan Dao, and I want the slaves and labor in their hands.

The big cannibals can provide us with the slaves they robbed from the Byzantine Empire's vassal states.And Persia can provide us with 'Tianzhu' labor, and the whole transaction will be done by sea, and the food will be transported there, and people will be brought back. Teacher, what do you think? "

In the past few months when he took office in Lingnan Road, Li Tai has fully felt the shortage of labor force and the problem of restricting development. After taking over Feng An's job, he even knew the details of the labor Li Ke got from Tammo this year. Numbers, that's more than 100 million people, and there will be another group at the end of the year. By that time, Li Ke will have 200 million workers in Tamao Tao.

However, the total population of Tammo Road is only 700 million. After 200 million young and strong workers were recruited to Shannan Road, there is no young and strong labor force.

But now, since the war between Tianzhu and the southern countries has ceased, the local area has temporarily stabilized, and there will no longer be a large number of people who escaped from the war and flow into Tammo Road. The meaning is to let them open up wasteland and farm in the local area, and they can't always rely on the local food of Datang to help them and let them eat for nothing.

Therefore, it is no longer possible for Li Tai to recruit labor from Tammo Road.

No, he set his mind on Persia, which is adjacent to Tianzhu, and the big cannibal who captured a large number of slaves during the war of aggression.

"You want to provoke the Persians to go to war with the Tianzhu people? And speed up the looting speed of the cannibals?" Li Tai just said the beginning, and Sun Xiangfu guessed his intention.

Now, the top power of Datang knows that the war of Datang's unification of Eurasia is about to start. It seems that Li Tai is also unwilling to be lonely, and wants to show something in this matter.

Li Tai nodded and replied, "That's right, the Persians are relatively weak now, but the Tianzhu people who have fought abroad for two consecutive years and returned without success are not much better. The territories of these two countries are nearly thousands of miles away. Well, I will give the Persians a bait and let them fight with the Tianzhu people. In this way, it will be of great benefit to our Datang expansion plan.

As for the big cannibals, they are just like the Turkic people in the north. Although they are fierce, they are in short supply of necessary survival materials. This is why they have been aggressing against the outside world. They are eager to get our food, spirits, and clothing. , drugs, etc.

So, I expressed my intention a little bit, Abu Bakr gave me a promise very eagerly, the price is negotiable, those slaves, they raise food, and the gold and silver they robbed will stay in their hands They can't eat or wear anything, they can give it to us.

We just use some grain, and we can exchange them for a large amount of slaves they captured from the Byzantine Empire's vassal states, as well as gold and silver treasures, to develop and expand our output. I think this is a good deal. "

"Hehe, if your idea is combined with some of Chengqian's ideas, it may indeed have some effect. However, to do such a big trade with a country, you must report to your father, whether you can get it Approval depends on his strategic arrangement." Sun Xiangfu smiled slightly.

His method is exactly the same as what Li Chengqian said just now, except that Li Chengqian set his target on Central Asia, the most powerful Byzantine Empire, while Li Tai focused on South Asia. The target is two relatively weak empires and one fatally weak empire.

If Li Shimin knew that his two adult sons-in-law were trying their best to achieve great unification, he would be very relieved in his heart. At least, they were not fatuous and incompetent.

As long as Sun Xiangfu did not object, Li Tai felt that this matter could be done, so after chatting for a while, he went to the pier and headed directly to Jiuyuan County.

At dinner time, Sun Xiangfu returned to the villa with his three daughters. As soon as he entered the house, Uncle De brought a lot of invitations. Everyone now knows that Sun Xiangfu has a talisman that can go anywhere in the world. , Gather the common people, teach the common people, and develop the planting industry. Sun Xiangfu naturally understands the meaning of these invitations. All the officials want the people under their rule to have better farming skills and greater output.

After flipping through the invitations sent by whoever they were, Sun Xiangfu took out one of the invitations for Cheng Chumo's concubine, and then handed the others back to Uncle De, "Send someone to each house to say, planting industry How to develop, I already have a sequence plan here, let them not worry, there will be arrangements, if I open my mouth for a banquet, I can’t eat so many meals, and I will go to the place under their control later When the time comes, they will entertain me in a good way!"

After Uncle De agreed, he withdrew, and Sun Xiangfu, who was walking towards the dining room, said to Yu Xiuer and the three women who had changed back to their home clothes, "I plan to start a long-distance trip after the sports meeting for my husband. Be free!"

"Long-distance trip? Where are you going?" Yu Xiu'er picked up the soup bowl and asked while drinking the tea soup to protect her throat.

"Go to all the states and counties across the country, and let all the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty become beautiful and colorful, all the rivers become gentle and peaceful, all the houses become warm and comfortable, all the fields become high-yielding, and all Children, who can learn advanced knowledge, all the common people, are full of happy smiles..."

"Won't that take a long time?" Sun Xiangfu, who was imagining himself, was interrupted by Li Xiangdie.

"Uh, yes! It may take many years." Sun Xiangfu rubbed his nose and said.

"Then don't you have to bring clothes for all seasons?" Yao Hongxiu took the words and asked.

"It should be. The climate is different across the country, so we should be prepared." Sun Xiangfu replied again.

"What about the children? Do you want to bring them?" Yu Xiu'er put down the soup bowl and asked.

"The little ones, take them all! The big ones, let them continue to go to school!" Sun Xiangfu thought for a while and replied.

"The concubine misses Jing'er, what if Wanting and the others are gone?" Yu Xiuer said again.

Sun Xiangfu replied, "Then take the time to come back and take a look! Anyway, our Datang's cars and boats are so fast."

······
Unexpectedly, a thoughtful speech would cause so many problems. Sun Xiangfu's dinner was all finished with the questions of the three daughters.

After dinner, seeing the three girls chatting in the master bedroom after bathing, Sun Xiangfu hurriedly called Uncle De and asked, "Is there a study in this villa?"

Uncle De nodded and replied, "Yes, yes."

Sun Xiangfu said happily, "Then light up the lamp quickly. I have some things to write until late tonight. The wives are tired after a busy day. You can remind them to go to bed earlier."

"Uh, this old slave knows." Uncle De said with an unnatural expression, but complained in his heart, "Don't you plan to have sex with that lady tonight?" '

So, half an hour later, the three daughters burst into laughter from Yu Xiuer's room, but Sun Xiangfu, who was very aggrieved in the study, gritted his teeth and complained in his heart, "You don't allow too many people to bully others."
