If Sun Xiangfu had told his disciples at the beginning that blueberries could be planted and planted, and not let them experience these frustrations, chagrin, regret, guilt and other emotions, they would definitely not have the current effect.

"Governor, the prince sent something over, saying that it was a generous gift to you."

After getting off the carriage at the door of the villa, Sun Xiangfu received an envelope from the guard, and after returning to the house, he opened it and took a look, and suddenly, a smile appeared on his face.

Gift-giving is an art, not that the more expensive you give, the better, it depends on the needs of the person receiving the gift.

Wang Xu may not be a person who is very good at giving gifts, but the elders of the Wang clan behind him, as well as his father Wang Rui, are very good at figuring out people's hearts.

Therefore, although this letter was a generous gift promised by Wang Xu to Sun Xiangfu before, it did not give Sun Xiangfu any actual benefits, because they knew that Sun Xiangfu was not short of money.

The letter only said some plans for the future of the Wang family, and these plans will play a very positive role in the development of the entire northern land, so Sun Xiangfu, who originally planned to eat with his disciples, had to take this letter and go to Li Shimin to discuss.

Still in Sun Xiangfu's own study, Li Shimin sat on the main seat, Sun Xiangfu was drinking tea on the Taishi chair opposite him, with a little smug on his face.

"If the minds of these families are used to govern the country and rejuvenate the country, why worry that my Tang Dynasty is not strong."

Although Li Shimin said this sentence in a complaining tone, Sun Xiangfu still heard a bit of pleasure in it.

Because, at the beginning of this letter, Wang Xu first said that his Wang family plans to pay for the emperor to build a palace in Shanyang, of course, nominally, these money is the people of Shanyang in order to thank the emperor, spontaneous donations, in order to be able to come to Shanyang more to see them, if this thing works well, it will form a kind of public opinion in the society that the emperor is loved by the people.

Moreover, the scale of this palace will not be small, and it will cost at least a hundred thousand yuan to build it, you know, at the price of Shanyang, more than 100,000 yuan, you can buy more than 100 sets of villas in the sky.

Li Shimin has never received a bribe of more than 100,000 yuan in his life, so even if he tries his best to hide it, the excitement in his heart is unconsciously shown on his face.

After that, the Wang family planned to use their fields in various places, especially in Guanzhong, to replace the fields in the north, and the asking price was not high, and the good ripe fields in Guanzhong were exchanged for the wasteland on the grasslands outside the Guanzhong, one acre for two acres, which can be said to be giving the imperial court a big profit.

However, from their proposal, Sun Xiangfu and Li Shimin can see their deeper purpose.

They saw the importance of the development of the Northland to the imperial court, and knew that as long as they bought a large number of properties in the Northland, the emperor would not touch them, and would treat them preferentially.

At the same time, they also saw some clues from the output of the fields in Beidi this year, the land here is indeed much more fertile than Guanzhong, although they can only grow one crop a year, but after the fields are opened, the amount of labor they use to take care of the fields will be reduced by half.

According to the new policy introduced by the Metropolitan Protectorate, they only need to sign a labor agreement with the hired workers for half a year from the beginning of spring ploughing, and they can be busy with all the farming affairs for a year, which is equivalent to abandoning all the burdens and only taking the highest profits.

This is a very clever method, Sun Xiangfu does not need to think about it to know that once their set of ideas is implemented, the production cost of the Wang family will be greatly reduced, the output and harvest will be greatly increased, and they only need to retain 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers to do long-term labor, and they can maintain the production of millions of acres of land.

The hundreds of thousands of serfs under the name of the Wang family, all of them promised to release the good ones, and if there was no accident, they would also accept a large number of these good serfs to spend money to buy out their agreement period.

They are determined that Sun Xiangfu, or the imperial court, will not let them have no harvest in the fields of the north, and will definitely ensure their employment when the farm is busy, because only if their fields can be produced, the calculation of the imperial court in the north can be considered successful.

In this way, they not only supported the new policy of the imperial court, but also optimized themselves even more, so even Li Shimin has to praise that their brains are too good.

"Then Your Majesty means to promise them?" Sun Xiangfu asked in a fake way, in fact, he thought with his ass, and he knew that Li Shimin would not refuse.

"Of course I promised, not only to agree, but also to let them implement it immediately and set an example for the rest." Li Shimin emphasized.

"The minister will ask Wang Xu to come out and talk about it immediately."

Sun Xiangfu finished reporting his work and was about to leave, but he was stopped by Li Shimin and said, "I will have a grace to your house later, not for you, but for your children." In addition, your two concubines are quite dedicated to serving Concubine Wei and Concubine Yang, and I will give them the identity of a seven-rank fate. ”

Well, Li Shimin finally knows the truth that people can't work in vain, Sun Xiangfu inexplicably gave birth to a trace of emotion, it's not that he cares about these rewards or anything, it's moving, Li Shimin finally knows progress in this regard.

In history, he is really not like some crossings, who easily scatter a lot of generous people with official titles.

The reason why he was crowned so many national dukes and county dukes was also because he was not in the right position, and in order to sit firmly in that position, he made a political compromise, and in his dynasty, he managed the official establishment and money very tightly, and there were only more than 600 officials in the center of a huge country.

After thanking Li Shimin, Sun Xiangfu immediately posted to Wang Xu, and after a while, the two chatted in the private room of the sauna hall.

"The prince's generous gift is really thick, so thick that the governor can't refuse."

"Brother Zhengming said with a smile, is it possible that the emperor will not reward you when he sees that letter?"

The two glanced at each other understandingly, and then they didn't dwell on this issue, but talked about business.

"Your Wang family has hundreds of thousands of acres of land in Guanzhong, are you really willing to replace it all?"

"Of course, those fields need to be taken care of, and they require a lot of manpower and output, but they may not be able to reach these fields outside Shangguan, and my Wang family will replace the fields, only make money and not lose money, why not change it?"

With the efforts of Sun Xiangfu, the fields in Guanzhong can almost be planted in two seasons a year, and the yield of one season alone is not as good as these fields outside the Guan, if you can get twice the number of fields outside the Guan, then the output is much larger than the original.

In addition, since they only plant one season outside the Guanzhong, then their investment in manpower can be reduced by half, after all, planting two crops in Guanzhong requires farmers to work continuously for a whole year, and after the implementation of the hired labor system, the Wang family can operate flexibly.

I'm afraid that the people of the clan elders will have already helped plan, after converting all their serfs into hired laborers, they only need to work for the Wang family for half a year during the busy time of farming every year, and the other half a year, the Wang family will not support them in vain, let them go out to find a job by themselves, and the Wang family will appropriately charge them some fees for buying out this half-year construction period.

In this way, the little money they gave to the emperor Jianxing Palace is really nothing, only a hundred thousand yuan, and the value of their millions of acres of land and the value of the annual gift is more than that.

Sun Xiangfu thought through these points and said with a smile, "Hehe, your Wang family is very calculating, in this way, won't your Wang family take advantage of the cheapness?" ”

"You can't say that cooperation is mutually beneficial. The fields in Guanzhong are useful to the emperor, once my Wang family has set an example for the imperial court and attracted several other families to follow suit, then the imperial court can at least recover millions of acres of fertile land in Guanzhong this time, the clan elders know the emperor and your thoughts, and want to absorb and assimilate these ethnic minorities, then, what else can you do than move them to Guanzhong, which has millions of Han people? ”

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu also had to admire the elders of the Wang family, they really touched themselves and Li Shimin's thoughts thoroughly, after the imperial court used these wastelands outside the gate to replace the good land of the Wang family into their hands, it would take a large number of people to cultivate, after all, the fields mastered by the Wang family in Guanzhong are all good mature fields, and it is a pity to return farmland.

And with whom will the land be cultivated? It's better to be a minority. There are not only nomadic people who don't know how to farm, but also many ethnic minorities who have been farming for generations.

Like Chudi, there are Tujia, Miao, Wuxi Man, etc., Shuzhong, as well as the Northwest Frontier Dangxiang, Qiang, and the Tang Dynasty newly included in the territory, Yumen Pass thousands of miles to the west, there are also many ethnic minorities and tribes are mainly farming, and gradually move them to the prosperous Han residential areas, assimilating them, it seems to be a very good choice, the elders of the Wang family, have thought of this for them.

"This strategy of replacing the field is indeed very reliable, but whether it can really achieve the expected effect is only the estimation of your clan elders.

That's it! If, as you expected, several other families also follow suit and find the imperial court to exchange land, as long as your royal family can give some preferential treatment to those serfs in the employment agreement, this matter will be done.

If only one of you moves, but the others don't, then I need the wise men of your Wang clan elders to help make suggestions and make the other families agree to exchange land with the imperial court.

If this matter is done, your royal family's fields in Guannei will be able to be exchanged for the land around Dingxiang City, which you know. ”

After Sun Xiangfu finished speaking, Wang Xu's eyes immediately lit up, he knew that the next step in the north plan was to develop Dingxiang City, and three years later, the world-wide sports conference would be held in Dingxiang City.

"In this way, tomorrow I will start looking for someone to help the emperor build the palace, as for the replacement of the field, Brother Zhengming thinks when it is appropriate to announce it and when it will be delivered, my Wang family has no problem."

"Then after the construction of the palace begins, it will be announced to the public, anyway, you have to wait for the fields in the customs to be harvested, before the actual delivery can be handled, you will be able to replace the number of acres of land as soon as possible, this replacement, in addition to the fields in Guanzhong, Luoyang, Jingxiang, and even the fields in Shuzhong and Jiangnan, can also be reported to be replaced, and the governor will allow you to replace up to five million mu."

Sun Xiangfu knew that the Wang family had at least 100,000 dumps of land all over the country, and in this era, it was about 50 acres, that is to say, the Wang family had at least seven or eight million mu of land, and Sun Xiangfu allowed him to replace 5 million mu at one time, which was almost to let the Wang family replace a large part of the fields outside the northern pass.

Especially Sun Xiangfu just mentioned the word 'Jiangnan', which can't help but be unmoved by Wang Xu, although Wang Hao was deprived of the power in the family by Wang Rui, he still has the identity of the Wang family's son-in-law, if his entire foundation is deprived, then he will not even have a chance to make a comeback.
