Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 735 A gift to the people of Tubo
Sun Xiangfu's lines almost caused Lu Dongzan and the leader of the Subi tribe in the audience to open their mouths in a daze, and their minds went blank for several minutes.

What does it mean not to allow poor people like you?

What does it mean to be rich soon?
Then, they began to know what the style of the rich is.

First of all, those members of the art troupe, who were dressed in neat clothes and were no less energetic than the elite soldiers of the Hundred Wars, walked into the crowd and began to distribute things.

They are head-sized ceramic jars with threaded openings. When unscrewed, there are crystal candies with a strong fruity aroma inside. In order to prevent these rock candies from melting and sticking together, each sugar is covered with It is wrapped in layers of fine white powder, which is ground from coconut pulp.

Lu Dongzan, who has been shopping in Chang'an, knows that the price of such a three-jin can of fruit rock candy in Chang'an market is at least above the usual price, and it may be two or three times higher when sold in places like the Tubo Plateau. .

However, these members of the art troupe distributed these commodities with a price of two or three for free to everyone, and they did not intend to leave anyone behind. Even the little kid hiding behind the adult's buttocks had a can for them to distribute At the same time, these art troupe members will also teach them how to unscrew the sugar jar, and even take out the rock sugar inside with their hands and feed them directly into their mouths.

What are sugar-coated cannonballs?

This is the most direct sugar-coated shell.

With such an intimate contact, under the impact of the extremely sweet taste buds, their strangeness and fear of Tang people disappeared in an instant.

Then, the carts full of supplies were pushed to the periphery of the open space by the sergeants, and the curtain covering the carts was lifted. Inside, there were all large metal saucepans, cooking pots and the like. Among them, Many sergeants began to assemble some strange things in their opinion.

On the high platform, Sun Xiangfu waved to the leader of the Subi Tribe who was sucking rock candy in his mouth, and the brain cells were extremely happy, "You come to the stage, next, you repeat what I said, I say something, you say something."

Soon, Chief Su Pi came onto the stage, and Sun Xiangfu began to speak.

"From today onwards, you are the subjects of His Majesty the Tang Emperor."

The leader of Su Pi followed his words and said in Tubo language, "From today onwards, you are the subjects of His Majesty the Tang Emperor."

"All your living needs in the future will be guaranteed by the Tang court."

Subi repeated as he said.

"So, in the future, if you have nothing to eat, you can go to the yamen we set up here to seek help from officials. If you have no clothes to keep out the cold, you can also go to the yamen to seek help from officials. If you have no firewood for heating, you can also go to the yamen. , to seek help from officials, and if you are sick or feel unwell, you can also go to the Yamen to seek medical help from medical officials. Do not ask any gods and Buddhas. Gods and Buddhas will not heal you, give you food and clothing, and help you cure disease, but the Tang officials, doctors, and soldiers will."

Sun Xiangfu's words made Chief Su Pi's entire body tremble, especially when the powerful word 'hui' came out of his mouth.

Under the urging of Sun Xiangfu's eyes, he began to repeat what Sun Xiangfu said in a somewhat excited tone.

And Sun Xiangfu's eyes were also looking down the stage at this time, the Han shopkeeper who arranged for them to stay in the greenhouse yesterday.

After receiving his slight nod for confirmation, Sun Xiangfu knew that the leader Su Pi did not mistranslate every word he said.

The Han merchants who came to Tubo to do business are not simple people. They all come from the secret guard system, or the army of the two chief managers of Jiannan Road and Ningchuan Road. In addition to doing business to earn some small profits, they also know Take turns to bring some people up to adapt to the plateau environment, paving the way for the imperial court to rule here in the future.

When Sun Xiangfu came here yesterday, he had a private conversation with him, and knew that he had completely mastered the Tubo language, but on such an occasion, he borrowed the mouth of the leader of Subi to translate his own words to the people in his clan , but will be more convincing.

After the leader of Su Pi finished translating, Sun Xiangfu continued, "This time, on behalf of His Majesty, I have come to appease all parts of Tubo, and I have brought you many gifts. Everyone, look at this big iron pot that was brought up. It is not It is used to cook meat, but it is used to condense sunlight, boil water, and cook meat..."

As he said that, Sun Xiangfu explained the functions of the solar pot to everyone, and he also demonstrated by himself, putting a cooking pot filled with water and an amphorae filled with mutton seasoning packets on the Put it on the iron frame in the center of the solar concentrating pot, and then adjust the concentrating light to the sun so that the concentrating point is facing the bottom of the cooking pot and the amphora. The operation can be said to be extremely simple.

After doing this, Sun Xiangfu told them, "Wait a while, all of you will be registered as households in the Yamen according to your kinship, and each household will receive an iron cooking pot presented to you by His Majesty. One and one deep pot, for the time being, every three households share one solar pot, it can help you save a lot of cow dung and fuel..."

Ironware was expensive during this period. Of course, this was relative to Tubo. With the continuous explosion of Datang's steel production capacity, its price in Datang had dropped to a level that ordinary people could afford. When exporting, it will be restricted and the tax will be relatively heavy, which will cause other countries to buy these things from Datang, which will be very expensive.

But now it is different, Tubo has been owned by the Tang Dynasty, so there is no such thing as restrictions.

If Sun Xiangfu just gave each household a cooking pot and a deep pan, then Lu Dongzan would not be so surprised. After all, a Subi tribe with less than 3000 people, if it is organized into a household, probably not to eight hundred households.

And the price of [-] sets of iron pots and pots in Datang is only one or two thousand guan, which is not as good as the two or three thousand cans of fruit rock candy he gave away just now.

But Sun Xiangfu's gift list seemed to be very long, and it was not finished.

When he heard that from now on, all the people would be able to go to the Yamen to receive a fixed amount of tea and salt for free on a monthly basis, his entire jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Chief Su Pi didn't believe it even more.

Kelu Dongzan thought of the ladder-shaped tea gardens he saw when he went to Yunnan last year, and he immediately understood it.

As for salt, the Tang Dynasty now has the salt lake that originally belonged to Tuyuhun, and there is also an inexhaustible supply of sea salt. In this regard, there is already a surplus that is too much, and it is provided for the people on the Tubo plateau. It's a trivial matter at all, and even, because they provide cheap salt, the animal husbandry in Tubo can expand a lot.

After all, there are few people here, except for the population who may move out with the big flow after being merged into Datang, the number of people who stay will not exceed 50, and the maximum number will be 20. Datang is raising these 20 people for nothing. What about the population of ten thousand households?

500 million yuan a year is enough!This is more than double the original output value of the entire Tubo in one year.

But 500 million guan, is it a big burden for Datang?

Not counting at all, 50 people and such a large area, in the hands of Datang, will definitely create more than 500 million yuan of economic value for the court every year, because Lu Dongzan has seen examples in Yunnan.

A few years ago, it was a chaotic place not much better than Tubo, divided and ruled by many tribes, but now!

The tea mountain where tea trees are planted, the medicine mountain where medicinal materials are grown, the flower mountain where flowers and flower essences are grown, the terraced fields where grain is grown, whole fruit forests, and huge farms with peaks as units, all kinds of industries are gradually taking shape. Not to mention those metal minerals that are continuously exported.

Now these industries have only just started, and they have already made the land of Nanzhong, with a population of more than 200 million, have no worries about food and clothing. If they grow bigger and form a scale in the future, then the people in the land of Nanzhong will soon move towards rich.

This is also the reason why Lu Dongzan went to Shelong to operate and move some of his clan members to Nanzhong.

As for Tubo, it is not without valuable resources. The medicinal materials that were purchased in large quantities by Tang merchants before are one of the major industries. Rare minerals are no less rare than those in Yunnan.

When Lu Dongzan heard Sun Xiangfu say that in the future, the officials and soldiers stationed here will not only help them solve their survival problems, but also lead them to learn Chinese, write Chinese characters, and teach them more advanced planting and breeding knowledge. When leading them to prosperity, Lu Dongzan felt that his ears were a little numb. This is completely a replica of Yunnan.

But such a Great Tang court is simply too good, so good that people here have no reason to rebel against them.

This is what Sun Xiangfu wanted to achieve when he came to Tubo to prosecute him, and the image he wanted to create for the Tang court.

He is just a red face, to resolve the local people's resistance to Datang's takeover of the local area, and his mission is completed.

In the second half of the year, when Li Ji came up with 12 Tang troops, it would be impossible for the people here to rebel even if they wanted to.

Because the total number of Tubo people who were left behind was less than 50, while the Tang army had 12 fully armed soldiers and horses stationed there. In terms of force, it was basically under absolute control.

Leader Su Pi was moved to tears by the words he repeated. After speaking, half an hour passed. The water in the cooking pot was already boiling, and the meat in the cauldron was also boiling. There was a delicious smell, of course it was because the seasoning packets that Sun Xiangfu and the others used to cook the meat were good enough.

All the people of the Subi tribe have witnessed the miracle of the iron cauldron, which can boil water and cook meat without lighting a fire. If it were not for the fact that religious beliefs had not been deeply rooted in the hearts of these people during this period, they would probably have started to worship on their knees. up.

Off the stage, Li Xiangdie, Yao Hongxiu and others, who hardly felt any discomfort, were already equipped to bring musicians and singing and dancing teams on stage. This was their first show on the Tubo Plateau. Just being a spectator.

How to let the common people feel the kindness of the Han people and the charm of the Chinese language in their performances is up to them now.

"Hey~ hey hey hey hey~
The sun is shining brightly.

Eagle~ Spread your wings and fly.

The spring scenery on the plateau is infinitely good, how can I not sing.

Spring in the plateau is infinitely good, how can I not sing~ hey hey..."

Li Xiangdie's voice, which seemed to penetrate through the clouds, could make people feel scalp tingling in an instant. Even though the scene was an empty venue with more than 3000 people, her voice was not hindered in the slightest Penetrated into everyone's eardrums.

In later generations, Sun Xiangfu's favorite is A Duo's version, so I always hoped that Li Xiangdie or Yu Xiu'er could sing this kind of plateau sound. Now it seems that Li Xiangdie's version is not at all. If it is not inferior to A Duo, if there is a bonus of audio equipment, it will be even better.

Therefore, her opening scene instantly amazed all the people. When did these slave people who were just grazing for the ruler in the past have such a level of enjoyment, with sweet candies in their mouths, Listening to the beautiful music, watching the beautiful dance in the eyes, soon, they were captured wholeheartedly.

As for Lu Dongzan and leader Su Pi in front of the stage, they were even more shocked, even more dizzy than those ordinary people, as if they had fallen into a fairyland, because they could understand the lyrics.

"Snow mountain~ Shining silver light.

Yarlung Zangbo River, turning the waves.

Dispel the dark clouds and see the sun.

How broad is the road to happiness.

The plateau people sing.

The singing of happiness spreads everywhere..."

Targeted singing, targeted libretto, top-notch singing skills, let Lu Dongzan and Su Pi leader completely fall into the artistic atmosphere, their brains, at this moment, do not have the ability to think at all, so, later, log in Lu Dongzan did not intervene in a series of matters such as household registration, distribution of gifts, establishment of government offices, and assignment of garrisons.

The leader of Supi also completely obeyed Sun Xiangfu's instructions, cooperated with him, and completed these tasks. Therefore, he was appointed by Sun Xiangfu and became the secretary of Nagqu County. Monthly, you can receive a salary of more than 100 Tang coins.
