Chapter 225: Digging a pit in front of the mausoleum

Twenty years old less than relying on his own ability to become a duke, in this Tang Dynasty, it is also a unique one, but Sun Xiangfu does not have any joy, today, is the day of the burial of the remains of all the soldiers who died in the defense of the city, Sun Xiangfu let people build a martyr's cemetery for them in Shuanghualing, but now, it is only some tombs, later, there will be a lot of infrastructure to improve.

After a worship, Sun Xiangfu personally took some people in the house who knew how to play music in front of the tomb for half an hour.

"Husband, the pen and ink are ready, and you still have to write this sacrificial text."

After the mourning music was played, Yu Xiu'er pulled Sun Xiangfu, who was already crying, and handed over a big brush that was almost as thick as her arm.

"Soldiers of Shuozhou, you will not die in vain, I will build a mausoleum and erect a monument here for you today, so that you can see how the land of Shuozhou that you protect with your life will be prosperous, this is my Sun Zhengming's promise to you."

After that, Sun Xiangfu put away his sadness, wiped the tears on his face, dipped the big brush into the ink tank, and then wrote on the white paper that had already been spread.

Flesh and blood build a city and ten thousand arrows pierce.

The armor is stained with blood and reflects the cold of the moon.

The drums of war roared, and the heart was not timid.

The wolf howl suddenly shook the border pass.

Iron Feather Steel Knife kills Hu Lu.

What a pity to defend the country.

Shuozhou Erlang has a loyal soul.

Eternal heroes do not travel far.

A mourning poem full of the atmosphere of the border village war was written in one go by Sun Xiangfu, but it was called to those Wang family scholars who came to see the excitement with Wang Xu to look at Sun Xiangfu with admiration, if there is no accident, these words will be carved into a stone tablet and erected in the Shuanghualing Martyrs Cemetery.

"Brother Sun is so courageous, and my son admires him so much."

It is difficult for people who have not experienced those two days of war to understand the meaning of this poem, and it just so happens that the experience of these two days is the most tragic picture that Wang Xu has ever seen in his life, so he has the most sense of identity with this poem that is not too profound.

"Wang Gongzi has won the award, by the way, today is just the burial of the soldiers of my Shuozhou Unity Battalion, and I would like to thank Wang Gongzi for making a special trip to see them off." Sun Xiangfu accepted the brush and thanked Wang Xu for his fake hand.

On the other side, Tang Fengyi had already shook his head and read Sun Xiangfu's mourning poem, and explained the meaning of the poem to the Shuozhou soldiers who couldn't read big characters.

"It should be, it should be, Sun Changshi, oh, no, it should be called Sun Duhu now, can you take a step to speak?"

After experiencing the battle of Shuozhou, Wang Xu's attitude towards Sun Xiangfu has obviously changed a lot, there is no way, who told him to ask Sun Xiangfu now, his 800,000 acres of spice fields, but it is almost the harvest season, and it turns out that those lands belong to the Turks, and now, the imperial court has been assigned to the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, the method of storing and harvesting spices, as well as the title deeds of those fields, are what he wants at present.

After cleaning up their mood, Sun Xiangfu and Wang Xu walked alone to the side of the mountain, where many people were cleaning up the roots of the shrubs.

"Wang Gongzi, this land of Shuozhou is saved by you and me with our lives, I hope you cherish it, if you have any proposals that harm the interests of the people of Shuozhou, I advise you not to open your mouth, these brothers on the mountains are still watching!" Sun Xiangfu fake model fake a serious way.

"My son is not that kind of person, we have always been a cooperative relationship, since we cooperate, of course, it is to seek benefits together, the elders are very satisfied with my project of opening a spice field in the grassland, or it won't be long before the spice field will be harvested, at that time, this son will send 10,000 stone of spices to your house, which is for you personal."

"Ten thousand stone spices? That's a million dollars! If Ben Du accepts such a big bribe from you, the imperial history of Chang'an is estimated to be able to spray Ben Du to death with a spitting star. ”

"Hehe, this walled place, if you don't say it, I don't say it, no one will know, and we can say that it is a reward! You help Ben Gongzi to do planting technical guidance, and you should get a little bit as a reward. ”

"That's okay, it just so happened that the governor had promised the queen mother to send some spices for the harem, so it came out of you, what's the matter, you can say it! Without affecting the interests of the people of Shuozhou, this governor will allow you. ”

To say that Sun Xiangfu has no discipline in the face of interests, it is impossible, millions of people who can donate it for nothing, can they care about 10,000 stone of spices?

He called himself a 'Bendu', which was to remind Wang Xu that he was now a very big official and had a lot of power, and gave Wang Xu a chance to ask him, but Wang Xu didn't open his mouth, how would he implement a series of plans for the family in the future!

"That's the case, after the defeat of Tuli, the imperial court took all the places he originally occupied outside the gate to the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and the family elders felt that it would be a big loss to let these lands be empty! Think about the spice field we planted together, after this year's harvest, not to mention earning all the benefits of the world, you have to get three or four points! Why don't we work together again and make something bigger? ”

With interests, there will be greedy people to pounce, Wang Xu is close to the water and the first to get the month, Sun Xiangfu is expected, and there are many people from other families who will find themselves in the future, after a little thought, he said, "Every year to help you reclaim a hundred miles of land, this is what the official promised you, this year opened 800,000 mu for you, Wang Lin also lost momentum in Chang'an, my task is half completed, next year, along your existing spice field, open another 800,000 mu, put Wang Hao down, our agreement is completed." You can rest assured that the corresponding title deed documents for the field will be issued to you, and when the time comes, you only need to pay taxes according to the tax rate of the imperial court. It's just that I'm a little curious, are there so many serfs in your Wang family? You know, if you open up another 800,000 acres of grassland, you need tens of thousands of young and strong households to take care of it, and you want more, do you still have tens of thousands of serfs hidden in your Wang family? ”

"Isn't that why Ben Gongzi came to you? I don't have it in Wang, you have it in Shuozhou! Didn't the imperial court move more than 30,000 families to Shuozhou at the beginning of the year, and my son paid for them to be tenants, do you think it will be successful? Moreover, 800,000 mu is too little, whatever, we have to get two or three million mu, let's slowly reclaim it! ”

In Wang Xu's view, the 800,000 mu of land that was opened last year will be ripe next year, and there is no need to leave all the 40,000 young people in accordance with Sun Xiangfu's requirements to take care of these mature fields, he will at least draw half, or even two-thirds of the people to go, plus more than 30,000 households in Shuozhou, next year will be able to properly open more than two or three million mu of new fields on the grassland, not to mention planting spices such as high-priced crops, that is, growing grain, melons, cotton, etc., the output is also very amazing, with such a huge industry, The strength of his Wang family is about to surpass the seven sects and five surnames and become a super family.

"Well, this, I can't be the master, next year Your Majesty will move those people back to Guanzhong, or stay in Shuozhou, it's not for me to calculate, in addition, although this governor is in charge of the military and political power of the Anbei Protectorate, it is not good to force the people to be tenants in your house!"

Wang Xu smiled when he heard this, "This is simple, my father let people operate in the imperial court, and those people will be left in Shuozhou properly, as long as you don't object at that time, my son will not believe that those people are unwilling to make money." ”

Sun Xiangfu naturally wished that Wang Xu would go to the court to operate and leave those people in Shuozhou, without these manpower, it would be difficult for Shuozhou to develop quickly, and nodded falsely, "In this case, of course the official will not object, as long as you follow the people's will, the official will not care."

However, even if Wang Gongzi does this, he can only open up a radius of two or three hundred miles, for the entire Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, this is just a small corner, not worth mentioning, therefore, the official plans to hold a conference in Shanyang to attract investment when the Double Ninth Festival, and call on the world's powerful businessmen and families to come to Shanyang to discuss the development of the grassland, but don't blame the official for not giving Wang Gongzi gossip in advance, when the time comes, you have to prepare the money! ”

After saying this for a long time, what Sun Xiangfu wanted to say most was the last sentence, how to lead the family from mutual cooperation to the track of mutual competition, that is, to release a piece of interest, let them compete for it, who doesn't want a field where spices can be grown?
