Chapter 555: Goodbye Yi Nan

Sun Xiangfu couldn't imagine that a person could get fat so quickly, a few years ago, although the figure was strong, but at most it was a hundred and fifty or sixty pounds, which belonged to the more quasi-standard body type in the Mobei region, just a few years later, his weight reached at least more than two hundred pounds, and he also lost that he had many good horses, and the general horses carried him, and it was estimated that he didn't run much.

"This sports conference, but thanks to the more than 100,000 tents provided by Yinan Khan, Your Majesty's side, there will be a thank you gift later."

"Hahaha, a little thing, why bother. Young Master Sun, please enter the account quickly, I have a lot of things to talk to you about. ”

Yi Nan's appearance looks more enthusiastic than Sun Xiangfu, but Sun Xiangfu who ran over to greet him was a little embarrassed, this time he also brought Yu Chi Baolin and Dongzhu, who had already arrived in Dingxiang, from them, I heard that Yi Nan had any big moves!

Yi Nan's big tent has just been erected, the ground is covered with camel hair blankets, the boiled beef and mutton on the wine table exudes the smell of spices, as for the silver kettle containing the wine, it is held by two long rows of snow-white orchids, Sun Xiangfu can smell the perfume smell on their bodies, just this extravagant pomp, Sun Xiangfu knows why Yi Nan is so fat, eating and drinking every day and playing with women, it is strange if he is not fat, I really don't know if he can live for more than ten years like in history.

After the guests and hosts sat down, Sun Xiangfu opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know what Yinan Khan said?" If I can do it, I will not postpone it. ”

"It must be able to be done, in the entire Tang Dynasty, there is nothing better than what you can do, do you remember, the people I sent to Shanyang to learn farming?"

Sun Xiangfu thought for a moment and nodded, "Remember, however, after these people were sent, they were controlled by several major families who cooperated with you, and I never asked them about their situation." ”

"Hehehe, I naturally know this, they now suggest that I transfer these people who have learned farming techniques for several years back to Mobei, reclaim the fields and plant crops, and have them communicate with those people, you don't need to worry about it, I just want to ask you for help, help me plan a fertile, high-yield field west of Mobei, send a few people who know agricultural technology to help manage it, and set up the Yamen of the Ministry of Agriculture compared to the Central Plains, it would be the best."

What's the situation?

Yi Nan, who has raised cattle and sheep all his life, has changed his personality and is going to farm?

Suddenly hearing Yi Nan say this, Sun Xiangfu was still a little stunned, but, after thinking about it carefully, it is normal for Yi Nan to have this idea, and the wealth is moving!

At the beginning, in order to help Yi Nan manage the people in Khan's country, Sun Xiangfu suggested that he use a large number of children of the family as officials, and these people have made a phased progress after Xue Yantuo has been operating for a few years.

And now, they want to use the land of Xue Yantuo to earn more benefits.

You must know that Yi Nan has already extended his sphere of influence from the direction of Tushiqi and Huangjia to Eastern Europe, occupying most of Kazakhstan in the later generations, and bordering several forces in Eastern Europe, that is to say, as long as he grows grain, he can also export to these neighboring countries in Eastern Europe like a few families in Shangqicheng.

"It's not a difficult thing, but if you want the imperial court to give you agricultural support, the crops you produce also need to obey the control of the imperial court. Sun Xiangfu said with a smile after figuring out the joint.

"I know this, and I won't use the grain I grow to fund the enemy."

Looking at Yi Nan's expression that I understand, Sun Xiangfu knew that the news that Li Shimin had already reached him for the matter of discussing with the major families, and now they all wanted to export more land in the border areas at a high price, so that they could sell well to the emperor and earn a lot of gold and silver.

"In this way, I will let people go to the field examination room, set the location, and then you can organize people to go over to cultivate!"

"It's extreme, it's extreme, that ······"

"What's the matter, you just say it, Your Majesty and I don't treat you as an outsider." Seeing that Yi Nan wanted to speak and stopped, Sun Xiangfu smiled and said.

At this time, Yu Chi Baolin also smiled on the side, "Zhengming and I are iron buddies, brother's business, just say it clearly." ”

Yi Nan rubbed his hands a little embarrassed and said, "Then I'll just say it bluntly, after choosing the field, it will definitely need a lot of people to plant it, can you ask the skilled craftsmen under Young Master Sun to help us Xue Yantuo people also build a city like Dingxiang?" ”

This guy, I really dare to mention it, it turns out that the land is just an introduction for him, and the cost of building a city like Dingxiang City is not a little, the most important thing is that it will take up a lot of time for skilled workers, and there are really a lot of places that Datang needs to build now, and it is when there is not enough manpower.

Sun Xiangfu said with a look of embarrassment, "This, it's not that it can't be done, it's just that our skilled craftsmen are a little insufficient, and we need to wait." You may not know that in three years, in Gangneung Castle in Shannan Province, we will hold the second sports meeting, but there is a city twice as big as Dingxiang City that needs to be built! ”

Yi Nan smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry, we can wait, and as long as we choose a good place, many basic things, we can come by ourselves, and after the fields are opened in three years, and the city walls and some houses are repaired, you can send someone to help us build the main building." ”

Yi Nan knows how long it takes for a city to be repaired to the level of Dingxiang, in the north, it can be completed in five years, it is a better situation, before Sun Xiangfu sent people to help them build the Khan City in Ulaanbaatar, in fact, it is the same grade as the early Shanyang, although it is also very comfortable to live, but he is extravagant, and he no longer has much hegemony, he is no longer very satisfied with the city, like Dingxiang, a city full of buildings and beautiful castles, is what he wants now.

Moreover, there were some other reasons for him to move the city to the border of Eastern Europe, because the price of Datang, especially the price of meat and leather goods, began to decline all the way as the problem of northern herdsmen spending the winter was solved, and the things they produced could only be sold at a high price if they were sold outside Datang.

In addition, to the north, he has developed into the uninhabited Gobi desert area, and only in the direction of Eastern Europe can he gather more people for his own use.

Sun Xiangfu and Li Shimin are not worried about Yi Nan's idle thoughts, because, as time goes by, the herdsmen of Mobei, who are accustomed to living a comfortable life, will become more and more difficult to wield their swords, especially to the Tang Dynasty, which has brought them a better life.

Datang has mastered the supply of important materials such as salt, iron, and coal from Xue Yantuo, once he has any changes, he only needs a commercial sanction, which can make them return to the pre-liberation period overnight, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, once because of Yi Nan's personal decision, the life of the herdsmen in Mobei has regressed, and there is no need for Datang to take action, and those herdsmen will come out against him.

"Then it's settled."

Seeing Sun Xiangfu nodding in agreement, Yi Nan suddenly smiled, raised the mare's milk wine, and had a with Sun Xiangfu, clapped his hands again, and saw a good-looking orchid and sent a red note full of words to Sun Xiangfu, he pointed to the note, and said to Sun Xiangfu, "This is the gift I gave to His Majesty the Emperor this time, as for the gift to you, it is the twenty orchids in this account, they are all white-skinned bearded girls under eighteen that I carefully selected and bought, without any spots on their bodies, each one, They are all top-notch goods worth thousands of dollars, but they can't be found, even I am reluctant to touch them, and please laugh at them! ”

"Well, you are so polite, you are so polite, I will forward the gift you gave to Your Majesty, but I don't dare to ask for this Hu girl, lest the ministers of the court say that I colluded with you to seek improper benefits."

No wonder Yi Nan was willing to use expensive perfume for all these orchids, which was originally a kind of packaging used as a gift, but Yi Nan wanted to give it, but it was not something that Sun Xiangfu could postpone in a few words, and after being polite for a long time, Sun Xiangfu still had to accept it, and it was a big deal to go back and explain it to Li Shimin.

When he saw the name on the gift list, Sun Xiangfu knew why Yi Nan's team was so large, it turned out that the yaks they gave to Li Shimin alone were as high as 20,000 heads, as well as 5,000 eight-foot tall red horses without variegation, as for things that were not very valuable like sheep, he was not rare to give them.

The value of these things, roughly estimated, is also worth hundreds of thousands.

After all, even if the use of rickshaws has become popular in various cities in the Tang Dynasty now, a good horse eight feet tall cannot be taken down without dozens of runs. As for adult yaks, one is at least eight to ten cents, because in addition to the high price of meat, yaks are useful in many places such as cowhides, tendons, and bones.

However, Yi Nan is not stupid, he sent such a valuable gift to Li Shimin, and naturally he was looking forward to Li Shimin's return gift, when it comes to valuable things, Datang has more than him Xue Yantuo.

After talking about business, the topic of conversation is much easier, Yi Nan wants to send his sons to Chang'an to study, Sun Xiangfu agreed without thinking about it, he also wants to let Dongzhu hold a few concerts in the opera house in Dingxiang City during the sports meeting, Sun Xiangfu raised his hands in favor.

You must know that what Dongzhu sings is all Chinese songs, which are beneficial and harmless for the promotion of Han culture, Sun Xiangfu only hates that there are too few people in the art troupe, and it cannot meet the viewing needs of more than three million visitors in Dingxiang City.

After that, Sun Xiangfu discussed the list of Xue Yantuo's participants, the project, and the process of the opening ceremony, etc., and finalized the details before leaving and returning to the city.

Sun Xiangfu, who returned to the house, sent a letter to Li Shimin, and said hello to him in advance, for these gifts from Yi Nan, he may not need to return any gifts, just need to give him a promise to buy the wool produced by Xue Yantuo, in the future, the core industry of Dingxiang is the wool textile industry, as long as Dingxiang buys wool from Mobei, not only can the things that Yi Nan will send out, and even earn it back with interest, but also tie Xue Yantuo's department more closely to the chariot of the Tang Dynasty.
