Chapter 608: The Season of Sowing
Li Xiangdie adhered to the concubine's duty to entertain people with sex, so she tried her best to make Sun Xiangfu do her best, and after a big battle, the whole bath room was soaked, and she insisted that Yao Hong's sleeves peeking in the crack of the door looked like they had been scalded by boiling water, but fortunately, she won in the previous rock-paper-scissors bet, so she got a chance to watch the live broadcast and learn how to be a concubine.
Seeing Li Xiangdie's various intoxicated expressions, as well as the smug eyes that glanced at the crack in the door from time to time, Yao Hongsleeve couldn't stand it anymore, turned around and ran towards his room.
When she got out of the courtyard, she saw Yu Xiu'er and her little maid waiting outside in clothes.
"Is it Butterfly tonight? You're going to have to work hard tomorrow night. ”
Hearing Yu Xiu'er's joke, Yao Hongsleeve felt that her face was about to burn, and she ran to her room in a panic, Yu Xiuer looked at her back with a smile, and said to the maid Xiaocui beside her, "The room is all arranged!" When the master comes out, I will take him over to rest. ”
"It's arranged, the two are together!" Cui replied.
For her arrangement, Yu Xiuer is very satisfied, she knows early on that Sun Xiangfu often sleeps in the same bed with Hongmei Chuntao and the two daughters, so that it is just convenient for him to do things, if Li Xiangdie and Yao Hongsleeve can also add two sons to the Sun family in this place of pregnancy, then the Sun family has a bit of family taste, spring is the season of sowing, Yu Xiuer naturally wants to use Sun Xiangfu as a seeding machine, at this stage of her, her thinking has been fully mature and rational, and she thinks more, It is no longer the kind of love and love between men and women that it used to be, but the inheritance and growth of the family, which is related to the family education she received since she was a child.
Therefore, even the names of the third and fourth sons, she doesn't need Sun Xiangfu to think about it, she just named them all, the third child of Hongmei is called Sun, and the fourth child of Chun Taosheng is called Sun Ang, so far, Sun Xiangfu can be regarded as having four sons and two daughters.
Early the next morning, Sun Xiangfu, who had been completely indulged, got up under Li Xiangdie's service, and when he cleaned up the bed, Li Xiangdie's expression was a little lonely.
Seeing her expression, Sun Xiangfu immediately understood, hugged her in his arms and said, "Xiangdie, I have one more thing to tell you, from the education I received since I was a child!" For some aspects, I don't really care, so don't take it to heart, as long as we are happy when we live together. ”
After Li Xiangdie was a criminal official, after being sold, she fell into the hands of the Wang family, and her innocence is long gone, which is why she is an Oiran lady, has more music talent than Yu Xiuer, but she has always shown some inferiority in front of Sun Xiangfu, and it is also why she has a concubine is a concubine, and she can't be compared with his wife. Only to go to school.
"Husband, you're so nice."
Li Xiangdie, who is obviously two years older than Sun Xiangfu, showed a bird-like appearance, which made Sun Xiangfu feel very enjoyable, a plump woman, sure enough, especially since she has been to the Western Regions and seen all kinds of debauchery of Hu people, she has naturally learned a lot, putting aside feelings, at least Sun Xiangfu is now very obsessed with her body.
Out of the room, entering the restaurant, Sun Xiangfu always felt a little strange looking at himself, he didn't know that he was watched live by others last night, so, I don't understand why Yao Hongsleeve's face, the red color that continues to rise like a burning cloud, a big bowl of ginseng stewed chicken soup is his breakfast, after eating, Sun Xiangfu went into the room used to study in the house, here, there are still many things that need to be explained by him to be instilled in the children of the farmer's family, or Zhao Long, the main captain and crew of the ship, in addition, The textbooks of Lantian Vocational and Technical College, Sun Xiangfu also had to work with Li Chunfeng to systematically formulate them.
From the Spring Festival to the Shangyuan Festival for half a month, in fact, it is the imperial court's bathing day, Li Shimin is a good implementation of Sun Xiangfu before the design of the people's line, from the third day of the new year, he went to the villages in Guanzhong, to some old elders New Year's greetings, condolences, he was pleasantly surprised to find that in several counties around Chang'an, it is very difficult to find a poor family, even those ethnic minorities who have moved over, as well as the people in the northeast, have also lived in warm and solid brick houses, and there is a lot of surplus food at homeThere is even a lot of meat hanging on the beams of the house.
It is said that this thing, the elderly, children eat it, anyway, the cattle and sheep imported from the northern pastoral areas to Guanzhong, and the dairy products are more and more popular, which can be promoted to the whole people, which can improve the health of the people in Guanzhong, and also help the herdsmen in the north to expand their sales.
"Xiao Xiang, since ancient times, I am afraid that under the rule of no king, the people under my rule can be as rich!"
Seeing Li Shimin's look of begging for praise, even if he was as upright as Xiao, he was embarrassed to hit him, and said truthfully, "According to the records in the historical data, there is indeed no, but we can't be complacent, Zhengming has proved to the world in Shannan Province that we can do better." ”
If there is no 'but' in the back, Li Shimin will definitely be very happy, with this but, Li Shimin's whole good mood has been ruined, since the eldest grandson Wuji sealed that ' After the country should bear the fold of failure' went to the imperial court, all the ministers began to follow suit, and the content was naturally to persuade him to take a break from military affairs and concentrate on the development of people's livelihood, so that he felt that all the people seemed to stand on Sun Xiangfu's side, so he stopped this year's plan to continue to expand westward in a very passive situation, and this feeling of passive decision-making was very bad.
"I want to tour the south again this year, what does Xiao Xiang think?"
Xiao replied, "The far-sea exploration fleet will be in the summer of this year, and it doesn't hurt for Your Majesty to go to Lingnan to take a look. ”
"After the prince gets married next month, he will be considered an adult, and I intend to hand over more government affairs to him, and I will ask Xiao Xiang to correct him at that time."
"Hehe, the only one who can really correct the prince may be Zhengming, the thinking of the old ministers, they can't keep up with the footsteps of their young people, this year, the nationwide land allocation policy will be implemented, at that time, please also ask Your Majesty to transfer more young and strong officials to the center, so as to deal with the increasingly busy government affairs."
Supposedly, when a country is richer, it should be easier to manage, but this is not the case, the larger the territory, the larger the population, the difficulty of governance will increase exponentially.
For example, the current Ministry of Industry is carrying out several mega projects comparable to the construction of the Grand Canal in the pre-Sui period, and the Ministry of Commerce has developed more and more state-owned enterprise industries, plus the industries that have been taken over from Sun Xiangfu, which may reach more than 50 this year.
These things in all aspects, it is quite difficult to stare at good mistakes, not to mention that the current strategy of Datang's governance is to plan first and defend against mistakes and omissions in advance, so the workload to be undertaken will naturally be greater.
And Xiao, an old man who will be sixty years old in one year, in this era, is already the elder among the elderly, he does have the ability to control government affairs, but his physical strength can't keep up, just every day to summarize the various departments to deal with the big things that need to be signed, several hours have passed, every day from morning to night, from mental to physical, it is a kind of torment.
"Xiao Xiangke has a good candidate to recommend?"
Li Shimin knows a little about the situation in the political affairs hall, and the stalls in various departments are now getting bigger and bigger, and even Fang Xuanling, who is the most capable, can only be in charge of one Ministry of Rites at present, because the total number of officials in several sets of systems of the Ministry of Rites has reached several thousand, and the number of teachers has reached more than 10,000 people, and the number of students has exceeded hundreds of thousands.
In addition, there are diplomatic ports, interpreters for various countries, envoys stationed or specially responsible for receiving and communicating, foreign guest services in the Siyi Pavilion, etc., and it is a system with more than 10,000 people.
Wenxuankou is also huge, several major art troupes want to start nationwide literary and artistic propaganda and education, and the four sides of the border are even more important, and he also has to take care of Taile Ling and the two Si Zhengqiao.
As for the ceremonial things that were originally in charge of the Ministry of Rites, it is the simplest thing for the Ministry of Rites now.
If you don't let more talents take over and share some of the work at hand, they will all have to die of exhaustion at their desks in a few years.
"Shanyang Assassin Shi Chu Suiliang, Shangqi Assassin Shi Zhang Xingcheng, Wulan Assassin Shi Yuwenjie, Tai'an Assassin Shi Xu Jingzong, you can choose one or two people to enter the center to hold important positions.
Ma Zhou, the left attendant of the Ministry of Commerce, Sun Fujia, the right attendant of the Ministry of Law, and Zhang Xuansu, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, can enter the political affairs hall.
There are still some relatively effective first-level officials in various ministries, such as Shangguanyi, Liu Yong, Li Zongren, Zhang Chongjian, etc., who have been transferred from the localities, and they can all take up the post of a waiter. ”
The more he listened, the tighter Li Shimin's brows wrinkled, although these people were young, strong and capable, most of them had a close relationship with Sun Xiangfu, and in the direction of politics, most of them were following the path guided by Sun Xiangfu, which made him feel very uneasy.
"Xiao Xiangke is arranged by the ministry, I will use the seal to approve it, this time I will go to Lingnan, I want to take the Hanjiang waterway, first go to Shannan Road to see."
Hearing this, Xiao was stunned, Shannan Road at this time, in fact, most places are construction sites, and there is nothing to see, to put it bluntly, he should want to talk to Sun Xiangfu, after understanding what Li Shimin meant, Xiao nodded and said, "It's good to go to Shannan Road to have a look, maybe, you can see more possibilities over there." ”
When Li Chengqian, who was in charge of government in the palace, learned of Li Shimin's plan for his southern tour, he was depressed in his heart, and being able to handle government affairs well does not mean that he likes to deal with government affairs.
But he didn't understand the truth that being a prince under Li Shimin, the greater the ability, the more work will be, Li Shimin will not take into account his age at all, and the problem of resistance to pressure, in the end, he was busy with various political work, after several times of supervising the country, his personality became more and more extreme, and he yearned for freedom more and more, and now, it seems that the situation is also comparable to history.
"When you plan to go to the Yuan Festival, take a hot air balloon and watch the night view of Chang'an, and you will go down and arrange it."
"Your Highness, you still have a lot of political affairs to deal with, and you shouldn't think about having fun."
"What political affairs?"
"The Tibetan envoy is waiting for your reply! Your Majesty has left this matter to you. ”
"Na Gu invited them to take a hot air balloon to watch the night view of Chang'an, this should not delay the business!"
Hearing this, Sun Xiang, the head of the East Palace, had to take the order to go down and arrange, and when he turned around and went out, Li Chengqian looked at his back with a look of disgust, and his somewhat numb hands holding the pen knocked on the table boringly, thinking, he should find something interesting to do, otherwise, he might suffocate in the palace.
It just so happened that his eyes saw the twists and turns that the eldest grandson Wuji had passed over before, and Li Chengqian remembered Sun Xiangfu who was farming in Shannan Province while watching the twists and turns.
In the memorabilia, it happened to talk about the situation of the officials in Jiuyuan County, and the eldest grandson Wuji elaborated on how the newly established administrative units in Shannan Province should be managed in the future.
After reading it, Li Chengqian felt that not only the Shannan Daotian area should be managed like Jiuyuan County, but the whole country should be managed like Jiuyuan County, so that he could be like Sun Dali, who was the county magistrate, and he could be idle and do what he liked.
