Chapter 746: Wang Erniu's suspicions
Sun Xiangfu and Li Chengqian and others only stayed in Weinan for three days, and then hurried back to Chang'an.
Li Shimin wanted to hold the most beautiful funeral for him to show his filial piety to Li Yuan, so the eldest grandson Wuji gave him an idea.
In the prefectures and counties that Chang'an could reach within one day, all schools were suspended, and officials from the Ministry of Law, or lecturers from the art troupe, began to gather the people to the schools to preach Li Yuan's contributions to the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, it also said that Li Yuan chose to abdicate and make way for Xian in order to get a better development of the Tang Dynasty, laying the foundation for such a beautiful and prosperous era today, and so on, a series of beautified sensitive issues.
Moreover, all state roads in the world will prohibit entertainment activities to a certain extent before Li Yuan's burial. Moreover, on the day of Li Yuan's burial, all local officials will organize the local people to hold a grand funeral.
You must know that the current territory of the Tang Dynasty occupies more than half of the entire Eurasian continent, and the scale of 70 or 80 million people to mourn a person's filial piety is definitely the largest in history.
Of course, the main political purpose of the big operation is to beautify Li Shimin's personal image, many words, when Li Yuan was alive, Li Shimin was embarrassed to say it, but when he died, he could make it up out of thin air in a direction that was favorable to him, anyway, the dead man could not refute it.
Therefore, now, almost all the people of the Tang Dynasty believe that Li Jiancheng was killed because of the rebellion, and Li Yuan, also because of his eldest son, made his own rebellion, and felt exhausted and unable to deal with state affairs.
Anyway, those few who witnessed it either died, or surrendered to Li Shimin, and now in this situation, no one who is not open-eyed jumps out to say something, after all, Datang is now unprecedented, and there are no dead ends in all aspects.
Sun Xiangfu would play a significant role in the funeral process, and the people were more willing to believe the words of a person of higher prestige like him.
Therefore, after Li Yuan's first seven years passed, Sun Xiangfu was sent out by Li Shimin to preach, mainly in the land of the six capitals, a place with a relatively large population, anyway, after the death of the emperor in this era, it is impossible to be buried within a few months, even if Li Yuan's mausoleum has already been repaired, this is true.
And Wang Deyong happened to take the opportunity to accompany him, called to inspect the Liudu Palace, but in fact, he would have some smell of pen and ink all day long, and Sun Xiangfu didn't dare to say anything wrong when he preached.
Luoyang Creek Village, has long ceased to be a village, even if it is more than ten years ago in a densely populated county, it is much more lively and prosperous, in Luoyang preached for three days, Sun Xiangfu, who was about to be disgusted by fake history, is rare to be secretly idle here.
"I heard that your Xicun has developed more than 300 diversified farms in Henan Province? Who gave the idea? After sitting down in the large living room of Wang Erniu's house, Sun Xiangfu looked at the decorative ornaments in his house with great satisfaction.
From the living conditions of his family, you can basically see that the living conditions of all the villagers who were sent from Xingfu Village to develop Xi Village back then are basically the same as those of the super-rich family!
Wang Erniu replied a little proudly, "There are so many talents in our village, of course, we want to support the development of our village, my second family, after graduating from the Agricultural College, brought a few classmates here to engage in these diversified farms, when he was not an official, he didn't care, now these farms, the smallest scale, have 300 households, the largest, there are more than 1,000 households in the big rural area with a population of seven or eight thousand, the scale is no less than a county in the past."
And this year, the harvest of each farm, in addition to ensuring free medical care, education, pension and other benefits, can also allow all peasant families to have a relatively rich surplus income, overall, but more than 100,000 households, accounting for nearly three-thirds of the population of the entire Henan Province! ”
Henan Province is under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains since ancient times, the most densely populated place in the Central Plains, in the first year of Zhenguan, there are three or four hundred thousand households in this area, more than one million people, second only to the Guanzhong region.
And now, it has nearly doubled, reaching more than 600,000 households, and the population is more than 3.5 million.
And the farming and breeding industry in Xicun has long become the pillar of the entire Henan Province, and now, the latest pig breed in the pig farm, six months, can grow to 100 catties, a year, can grow to nearly 200 catties, although there is still a gap with the weight of nearly 300 catties of pigs per year in later generations.
However, these pigs basically do not eat irritating feed with chemical ingredients, they are all organic pigs, the meat quality is better, and their own reproductive ability is very strong.
As for chickens and ducks, it is because of the addition of mixed feed such as crayfish shells, which has greatly improved the egg production rate and the quality of eggs, which is enough to meet the internal market of Datang.
You must know that the current Datang is not like more than ten years ago, when the people rarely ate meat, now all the people's tables, meat dishes are relatively common, eggs, have become a daily food that will be eaten every day, and there are even restaurants developed with fried chicken as a staple food.
After all, the population has increased several times, and everyone has gone from eating little to eating often, and the market demand has increased dozens of times.
"They're doing a good job, and I'm happy and gratified by their performance, and when our whole world can have the same output as a diversified farm, it's hard to have anything that threatens us.
Also, let them not just look at Henan Province, but look at the world, I think, they can actually do more, better. Sun Xiangfu patted Wang Erniu's shoulder and said.
"I'll get your word out to them." The blood in Wang Erniu's chest was also boiling because of Sun Xiangfu's simple encouragement, and he was a little excited.
Agriculture is the foundation of all industries, no matter how strong it is, it is not too strong, but even in later generations, it is difficult for the people to learn and receive the latest agricultural knowledge, let alone understand it, and it is very necessary for a group of talented people to lead them on a scientific and correct track of agricultural and breeding development.
It is different from the later generations of collectives to create income for the country, it is to create income for the people themselves, and to engage in collectives, with more advanced technology, and more powerful capital power to support, these originally scattered in various small villages, the output capacity of the small people, concentrated, completed the explosion of output income.
This is a good means to rapidly promote the development of the common people in those areas that do not have resource industries at present, and in the future, it can also be implemented in large quantities in some relatively poor areas that have been newly incorporated into the country.
Everyone is ignorant, so just send some smart people to help them lead the way and lead them to prosperity.
Wang Erniu's dinner to entertain Sun Xiangfu is still his favorite big-headed fish hot pot, in mid-September, but it is the time when the autumn fish is plump, and the weather has turned cold, the two of them are around the hot pot, eating and drinking, and the interest is very high.
"According to me, if it weren't for His Majesty's confiscation of your property back then, the richest man in our Tang Dynasty today would definitely be you.
Moreover, there will definitely be more people like me who can live well, eat well, dress well, and live well.
Because, you have always made money while quickly building the industry, these years, you have no way to get the industry in your hands, and you have not made any new big projects. "Wang Erniu, who was drunk for six or seven minutes, said.
When Sun Xiangfu heard this, he smiled and said, "You can't say that, it's not a good thing for anyone to have the capital that can shake the country, these years, although I don't have any industry in my hands, but when I do things, the imperial court basically supports it fully, and the fields in Shannan Road are developed by the imperial court with money!" Lingnan Road, the fenced house plantations and terraces of Yunnan Road were developed by the imperial court with money! The warehouse in northeast Liaoning was also developed by the imperial court with money! If you give me all these things to do privately, can you imagine the consequences? ”
Speaking of this, Wang Erniu was not easy to answer, Sun Xiangfu said again, "Therefore, the most important thing for a country is internal stability and unity, and whenever His Majesty receives dividends through these properties confiscated from me, he will have more gratitude to me in his heart, so how to reward me is actually his biggest headache."
And I can be said to be the most carefree person in our Datang now. ”
"Well, I don't think so! When you came to Luoyang this time, didn't you follow a eunuch by your side? "Wang Erniu came to Xicun a long time ago, and he is not very familiar with Wang Deyong.
Hearing him mention it, Sun Xiangfu explained with a smile, "Our Datang Dynasty has long been out of the profession of eunuch, he just wants to help His Majesty inspect the palaces of various capitals and walk with me, but there is no malice, don't guess." ”
"Really? I'm relieved. Although Wang Erniu said so, he still had some doubts in his heart.
Because, he has been in Xi Village for more than ten years, not to mention the locals here, even the passers-by who often pass by here, he is familiar with them, and today, when he brought Sun Xiangfu from Luoyang City to the village, several strangers followed.
There were a lot of topics to talk about at a meal, and after eating enough wine and food, Sun Xiangfu rested in the guest room of Wang Erniu's house, and Wang Erniu, who was still a little unsure, decided to go around the village, and soon, he found something unusual.
Those who followed him and Sun Xiangfu to Xi Village did not leave, but asked the villagers of Xi Village about things, and they were all Sun Xiangfu who took him to see some of the backbone villagers in charge of the industry in the village when he came during the day.
Soon, Wang Erniu found one of them, and said to him with a serious face, "I don't know what the purpose of your coming here is, but, I am the head of this village, oh, outsiders like you should call me the county order, so, what you want to do, you must go through me, otherwise, don't blame me for being polite." ”
The man smiled when he heard this, "Of course we know that you are the county commander of this Xi County, and we, in fact, are the royal secret guards, I thought that after Young Master Sun left, I would ask you some questions, since you have found it, then let's take a step to talk!" ”
