Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 717 To Liaodong

In four months, Sun Xiangfu finally assigned and taught all the planting tasks in Lingnan to these agricultural students.
Judging from their level, Sun Xiangfu basically didn't need to worry about the planting business in Lingnan Road.

In early and late March, when the people in the north had set off from Shannan Road to go home and started to prepare for spring plowing, Sun Xiangfu and his family also carried some seeds such as corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and peanuts grown in Lingnan Road, and set off for Liaodong. Over there, it is now the third-ranked poverty-stricken border town area in Datang's comprehensive ranking.

On the large carriage, Sun Xiangfu said to Sun Jing with confidence, "Are you ready? We are ready to start!"

Sun Feng, who was more than six years old, nodded vigorously, and Sun Xiangfu nodded with Yu Xiuer and Li Xiangdie, who were holding drumsticks and guitars, and raised the Sona in their hands. The festive Sona music and rhythmic drums sounded.

Sun Feng suddenly opened his voice and sang, "My home is in the northeast, on the Songhua River! There are mountains and plains, soybeans and sorghum, beside the green mountains and green waters, there are two big poplars in front of the door, a neat fenced yard, a brick and tile house. Room, hey hey!"

"My dad is fine, and always wants to drink some wine~ Even if there is no food, he still has to drink two taels, a big bowl of tea and a big bowl of wine, the neighbors are on both sides, the five leaders 666, the house is full of laughter ! Hey, hey!"

Sun Feng's voice was very bright, but Sun Wanyu, who hadn't sung, was more nervous than him, for fear that he could not sing well, and the two of them would have to be sent back to Jiuyuan County to go to school. After all, they had reached the age for school, because Sun Feng proposed My specialty is singing, so I should learn from my parents. Yu Xiuer finally decided to give him a chance. After all, agriculture and singing are the two unique skills of the Sun family, and someone has to pass them on.

So, the whole journey was not boring at all. Sun Xiangfu was pulled out to compose lyrics and music. It could not be the nursery rhymes that Sun Feng had already sung, but must be new songs. Yu Xiuer only typed the template for him a few times, and then, Let Sun Feng practice according to the tune by himself, and he is not allowed to go out of tune. He has to sing some of his own taste. Only after he has done it can he continue to follow everyone in the team.

"My mother's voice has been bright since she was a child~ Every day she sang folk songs and went to school. The old man who only sang, put down his big noodle bowl! The young man sang straight, and he missed his girl even more. The old lady put down her needle and thread and listened to a song~ she sang so loudly that the big girl burst into tears! I forgot to wash my clothes~, hey boy!"

The third stanza has a much higher pitch than the first two stanzas, but Sun Feng sang it effortlessly. Moreover, the children's voice version, not to mention, is Sun Xiangfu who has heard the original version and Yu Xiuer's version , I also heard some different feelings.

Because of his performance, Yu Xiu'er, who was playing the drums, her eyes lit up, and she devoted herself to playing the drums. It seems that the child's voice training with them in Lingnan has achieved very good results in the past few months.

Hearing that Sun Feng sang so well, Chuntao was the one who was most moved. She never imagined that her concubine's child would inherit one of the family's unique skills. So far, neither Sun Xiangfu nor Yu Xiu'er has taught Sun Jing and Sun Wanting anything. Seriously!

Sure enough, after he finished singing, Yu Xiu'er couldn't help but praise, "Feng'er really has a talent for singing, even if I am at his age, I am far inferior to him, but if you want to learn to sing with us, you can't miss the culture class. Your father will teach you how to read according to the first-grade textbook."

"Yes, yes."

With such a promise from Yu Xiuer, Sun Feng has not reacted yet!Sun Wanyu, on the other hand, slapped her hands happily and jumped up, completely without the consciousness of a person who is in the light.

After being stopped by Hongmei with her eyes, she sat down in Sun Xiangfu's arms, buried her face under Sun Xiangfu's neck, and blocked the corner of her eyes with one hand, sneaking a peek at her mother from time to time. Dear, being cute and playing tricks is like a little showman.

When Sun Xiangfu was young, he liked to hug this daughter who most resembled him, patted her little butt, adjusted her to the most comfortable posture, and taught her to sing nursery rhymes. Suddenly, the carriage sounded again. The children's singing and musical instrument accompaniment sounded.

Not long after, the city wall of Yanjin New City was in sight. Zhang Ke, who was riding in front, rode his horse and reported in front of the car, "Grandpa, many people gathered outside Yanjin City. It seems that they are here to welcome us."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu accepted it with a smile, "Why do Su Dingfang and Shangguanyi still like to do this nonsense? It's spring plowing at this time, and it's not good for the common people to delay the busy farming."

"In my opinion, that may not be the case. You can see for yourself!" After speaking, Zhang Ke took off the telescope hanging around his neck and handed it to Sun Xiangfu.

After Sun Xiangfu took it, he looked in the direction of the city gate. First, he saw Su Dingfang and Shangguanyi riding towards this side. Then, he saw the expectant expressions of the people gathered at the city gate. This expression is more like a fan waiting to see a celebrity in future generations, no wonder Zhang Ke would say that.

Soon, Su Dingfang and Shangguanyi arrived in front of the convoy. After a salute, Su Dingfang took the lead and said, "We people in Liaodong are looking forward to you."

"Really, this proves that your errands are not good enough! If the people are rich and healthy, they won't expect me to come so much." Sun Xiangfu joked with a smile.

Su Dingfang seemed a little embarrassed by what he said. Not to mention the land of Liaodong compared with Guanzhong and Shannan Road, even compared with Dingxiang Road and Hebei Road in the North, there is a huge gap, especially Shiwei, Khitan , Mohe, Fuyu and other tribes living on fishing and hunting are located in the territory, which is very slow, resulting in a vast territory and a population of more than 200 million households in the Andong Daduhufu, and the tax contribution to the court is ranked last. several.

Of course, the reason is that after Li Shimin took down Goguryeo and the entire peninsula, he transferred Liaoyang, which has a relatively high degree of development, to the most affluent states in Beisha, all of them to the Hebei Road, and allocated the more productive states Many people moved to Guanzhong and Shannan Road.

As for the existing land, because the people are in the relatively primitive living conditions of farming, fishing and hunting, commerce has not risen, and naturally it is impossible to create tax revenue. You must know that Datang has exempted all agricultural and animal husbandry taxes, and the entire Black Water The boundary between the Duhu Mansion and the Dongyi Duhu Mansion does not collect tens of thousands of guan in commercial taxes a year, it is not as good as a county in Yuantian District, Shannan Road!
From Yanjin City to several relatively densely populated cities on the Korean Peninsula, they can barely get by in terms of commerce, because they have a relatively high degree of Sinicization. The level of education and farming in prefectures and counties, after all, these places have entered the period of feudal rule for six to seven hundred years.

Hearing Sun Xiangfu's joke, Shangguanyi opened his mouth to defend Su Dingfang and said, "Mr. Zou and General Su are both military officers. It is not easy for Minzheng to achieve the current level. Only after the subordinate officials took office did they know that they were In terms of civil affairs, there are still a lot of achievements.

Now, our government has gotten along very well with the local people, and the people are even proud of being Tang people. In many places, the construction of new countryside has been implemented and the promotion of agricultural technology has no obstacles. "

"That's right, then let's not keep the people waiting for a long time. After saying hello, let them go home and work on spring plowing!" Sun Xiangfu said with a smile, Zhang Ke understood what he meant, and let the whole convoy leave Hurry up, and in a short while, we arrived at the city.

"Thank you, fathers and folks, come to greet me."

"Mr. Nong, it's Sun Zhengming, Mr. Nong. I met him when I was working in Shannan Road, and he even gave me a pack of gifts..."

"Yes! It's really Duke Nong who came..."

People from all over the world bent down and bowed their hands to meet Sun Xiangfu. From their reactions, Sun Xiangfu could tell that these people were not organized by Su Dingfang and Shangguanyi to greet him, but after hearing some rumors, they spontaneously came.

"Yes, I am Gongsun Zhengming of the Tang Nongguo, and I am here in Liaodong this time! I just want to teach you some more useful farming knowledge, and promote the planting of some higher-yield crops here, so that your family can have more food. , So ah! People who want to grow new crops, these days, they have to spend more time to attend classes in the civil studies classrooms in the city!"

Sun Xiangfu told the crowd, and suddenly, there was a burst of cheers like a tsunami, how rich Shannan Road is, and those who have worked in the south know that, after they came back, they took that It is said that it is like a fairyland on earth. The reason is that Gongsun Zhengming of the Nongguo planted high-yield rice there to help everyone plan business. Now, it is their turn in Liaodong.

You know, the new crops he mentioned were only introduced to Datang last year. Unexpectedly, their land in Liaodong could be planted before other places.

In fact, these crop seeds brought by Sun Xiangfu are already the results of the second round of planting in Lingnan Road, so the quantity is not small. Of course, it is impossible to satisfy all the people in the Liaodong area. The reason why they landed at the Seoul Wharf and started to promote planting directly on the peninsula, but went ashore at the Beisha City Wharf, took the Hebei Road, and came to Yanjin City.

Because, after the division of jurisdiction, Yanjin became the first newly built city on the Hebei Road to enter the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate. Moreover, since the common people experienced the great battle in which Yuangai Suwen set fire to the city and were rescued by the Tang army, they have the strongest sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty. Based on this point, it is the best way to promote the knowledge of planting new crops. .

No, among the crowd, there are many people from the Shiwei, Khitan, and Mohe tribes. Afterwards, Cheng Mingzhen and Zhang Jian, the two guards, will organize and rule more people from various tribes who want to give up fishing and hunting and learn farming. , Those who came to Yanjin to learn planting techniques, after all, high-yield crops can better guarantee their quality of life.
