Naturally, the imperial court did not only move people to Shuozhou, Yinzhou, Songzhou and Youzhou border towns, a total of 300,000 households were moved out, and the trial trial of the military tun system was also opened in the border areas.

In late March, Sun Xiangfu had just started working in the newly opened fields, and the 35,000 households assigned by the imperial court came to Shuozhou with their families, and they did not have much surplus grain in their hands.

In fact, Sun Xiangfu has been busy since the beginning of the year, and after repairing the city, he will open up the fields and farm, even if those people sent by Wang Xu don't need to take care of him, there are still 15,000 households in one city in four counties in Shuozhou! First of all, from the military tun field began to plant, in this era the soldiers know how to farm, 3,000 young people cultivate 50,000 acres of land, the per capita area is not large, and Yu Xiuer from Chang'an brought craftsmen to create enough farm tools, thousands of people can work at the same time, everyone according to Sun Xiangfu's requirements, 50,000 acres of fields after sowing, began to organize the people to reclaim the waste.

Juntun land is zoned close to the river of ripe fields, the land is more fertile than Guanzhong, as long as it is planted well, this year's harvest should be good, but the wasteland is different, because the soil texture is different, how to divide the piece, what crops to plant, all need some planning, this aspect, other people do not understand, can only Sun Xiangfu himself.

The aborigines of Shuozhou are worse than the farming skills of the people in the Central Plains, Sun Xiangfu had to disperse hundreds of craftsmen to the fields to guide the local people to cultivate, these craftsmen originally also farmed, stayed in Xingfu Village for more than a year, and listened to a lot of lessons when they were fine, and they were much stronger than ordinary farmers.

There are only more than 10,000 households around the left, in late March, their fields are basically tidy, see the sun for several days in a row, after the temperature rises sharply, there is no recurrence, Sun Xiangfu dares to let everyone sow seeds, because it is possible to snow in March on the grassland, and sometimes the ice and snow can only melt in mid-April, and the temperature is warm this year, which is considered to be the beginning of spring relatively early.

When the time entered the middle of April, the people who moved from Guanzhong finally built their own simple houses in the four counties and one city of Sun Xiangfu Shuozhou, of which the four counties each digested 3,000 households, and the remaining more than 20,000 households were placed in Shanyang New Town and the surrounding areas.

The weather has warmed up around the world, and the houses don't need to be built too tightly, so it's almost done, so Sun Xiangfu began to lead everyone to open up the wasteland and farm.

More than ninety percent of the land of Shanyang was originally grassland, because when the city was built, Sun Xiangfu collected the cattle and sheep in the hands of the herdsmen and ate them, so everyone had to learn to farm this year.

After dividing the area and burning the grassland with a fire, a large number of farming tools were distributed to the farmers.

Due to the urgency of time, not only the people who were assigned to Shanyang County, but also the Shuozhou locals who had planted their own fields were recruited by Sun Xiangfu, a total of nearly 100,000 people, and it only took more than half a month to reclaim nearly one million acres of grassland in Shanyang, leaving less than 300,000 acres of grassland, in fact, an average of one person also reclaimed more than a dozen acres of land, and most of the time was arranged by Sun Xiangfu to build a village fortress, and in the future, these more than 20,000 households will be scattered and settled in these fortresses to live. Sun Xiangfu learned from the Wang family, and it was difficult to resist the attacks of wild beasts and foreign enemies without building a fortress on the open and flat grassland.

It was also in this half a month that these people directly took out Sun Xiangfu's family funds, of course, the effect is also obvious, the land of Shanyang has become the same as Guanzhong, a densely populated area of five miles and a village, and a fort of ten miles, and more than 20,000 households have been placed in only one county, which has caught up with the previous state.

"Mother's legs, other people are making money when they become officials, my brother has only been in office for a few months, and he has pasted more than 100,000 yuan into it, and there are hundreds of thousands of stone rice."

Sun Xiangfu stood on the tall city wall of Shanyang, scanned the dense blue brick fortress around him with a telescope, and complained.

"Hehe, it's still your side that is efficient, my side repaired the fortress two months ahead of schedule, and now the field reclamation has just been completed, how to plant this field next, it's up to you."

Wang Xu was very curious about what the copper pipe in Sun Xiangfu's hand was, but he had his pride and would not show envy for other people's treasures.

Today, he came to Shanyang to see Sun Xiangfu because the 800,000 mu of fields he cultivated on the grassland had all been prepared in accordance with Sun Xiangfu's requirements, and it was time to enter the next step of sowing work.

Sun Xiangfu's efficiency is high, that is because he has a more scientific distribution, in addition, the farming tools are prepared enough, and the manpower is more than twice as much as Wang Xu, but he will not provide spice seeds to Wang Xu for free, and he must recover some of the money invested in the people of Shuozhou, otherwise, he will not be able to operate in the future.

"Wang Gongzi should know that the value of spices is very expensive, especially the spice seeds that can be used for planting, and the family foundation in Xia has just been hollowed out by these people, so Wang Gongzi must find some to make up for it!"

Sun Xiangfu's previous complaints, naturally a foreshadowing of bargaining, with this introduction, Sun Xiangfu can sit on the ground and start the price, you know, before this, he has never mentioned this stubble to Wang Xu, now Wang Xu's serfs have moved over, and the fields have also opened, if Sun Xiangfu says not to give him seeds, Wang Xu can vomit blood in minutes.

"This is natural, the price is easy to say, just don't delay the sowing." Wang Xu smiled lightly and said, no matter how expensive the spice seeds are, they are just one or two yuan and a catty, thinking of the millions of yuan, what is this investment.

"Wang Gongzi, this official doesn't want money, but grain, 800,000 stone grain, millet or wheat, as long as you can get it for the official, the official will keep the 800,000 acres of land you opened up and plant spices."

"Eight hundred thousand stones?"

This number makes Wang Xu a little confused, you know, this year's drought in Guanzhong, grain is expensive, even if the imperial court has transferred grain from Lingnan to Guanzhong, and a large number of soybeans from Yangzhou to Guanzhong, but the price of grain is still rising slightly, and now the price of a stone of grain is almost two.

800,000 stone of grain, that's 1.6 million yuan. It's not that the Wang family can't take out so much grain, but putting so much grain on the market may affect the price trend in the market.

But when he thought that he had only spent the price of grain, he had planted an acre of spice field, and Wang Xu felt that this business was very worthwhile, after all, the market price of spices now has always been one pound more, and the output of one acre of spice field is worth more than 100 yuan, even if he sells it at half price or at a lower price, the net profit he gets can easily reach several million yuan.

"Uh, that, it's not that there is no food, but this son has a request, that is, the food I gave you, you can only supply the people of Shuozhou for consumption, and you can't sell it to the outside world." Wang Xu finally put forward his own conditions.

"Deal!"

Sun Xiangfu snapped his fingers happily and confirmed.

When Wang Xu heard this, he was also relieved, you must know that on the boundary of Shuozhou, there are two or three percent of the people who are actually his tenants, and Sun Xiangfu can't do any tricks under his nose.

Sun Xiangfu asked for food, naturally for the people of Shuozhou, because at this time the granary in Shuozhou was actually empty, but with these 800,000 stone grain, plus the output of Shuozhou's fields this year, the grain reserves are enough for the 100,000 people in Shuozhou to eat next year's autumn harvest.

With such abundant grain reserves, Sun Xiangfu dared to let everyone grow non-grain crops, and in such a developed place as the water system of the Sangqian River Valley, the yield of growing melons, fruits and cotton was actually higher, and the income was greater than that of grain.

In addition, Sun Xiangfu also plans to plant some flowers, and when the time comes, refine the essence, and make it into perfume together with alcohol, this thing has a fatal temptation for Hu Shang in the Western Regions, and it will not conflict with the edible spices planted by Wang Xu, after all, there are not many people who can eat spices in the Tang Dynasty, and there are 800,000 acres of spice fields in Wang Xu, and the price plunge is inevitable.

Even if there is a great drought in Guanzhong, Sun Xiangfu is not optimistic about the price of food in Datang, don't look at the food in Chang'an now, it is very expensive, as if the whole world is about to collapse, in fact, this is all caused by ignorant people who are affected by panic and let the family gate valve go up. Many families and businessmen have hoarded a large amount of grain in their hands, enough for the people of Datang to eat for more than two years, for no other reason, just look at the number of farmland and the proportion of population in Datang last year, one or two million people, planting more than 100 million acres of fields, on average to each person's head, there are more than forty or fifty acres, and one person eats the output of fifty acres of fields?

The answer is impossible, so last year's grain will not be able to hold back and plunge, this is because the families and businessmen have hoarded too much grain in their hands, to the point that it is impossible to sell it without reducing the price.

Moreover, Li Shimin in history can survive this crisis, not to mention that now Sun Xiangfu has introduced Champa rice, promoted two seasons of soybeans, and increased the output of Datang's farmland so much, in fact, the grain produced in Guanglingnan and the soybeans produced in Yangzhou can feed them when the people of Guanzhong are completely out of production, so after this year's crisis is over, the price of grain will still plunge, which is why Sun Xiangfu did not let the people of Shanyang plant food on the newly opened fields.

Reasonable planning can maximize returns, which is the perspective that Sun Xiangfu, who was born in modern society, so what Sun Xiangfu will plant in the newly reclaimed fields is some strange seeds, which are not crops at all.
