Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Supreme Imperial Court

After spending several days in the busy inventory work, Sun Xiangfu finally knew the emperor's family background and thought of a way to make the books look better for the time being.

The 15,000 Dingkou of the Agricultural Division will all return to their respective farms before spring ploughing, and the price paid is all the cash of the Agricultural Division, and the deficit above the granary can be said to be the sale of grain to buy land, so the more than 20,000 mu of new land opened by the farmers must be handed over, and in this regard, in the long run, Li Shimin can be regarded as earning, because more than 20,000 mu of new land will produce tens of thousands of stone of grain for him every year in the future, and the deficit will be made up in two or three years.

As for the Forestry Division, the emperor did not have a plan to build a palace in the past two years, so the big wood in the warehouse did not need to be replenished for the time being, and the craftsman was seconded to the Ministry of Industry to make the Quyuan plough in the past, and now the money will not be returned, so Sun Xiangfu curved to save the country, looking for the Ministry of Industry to borrow the Quyuan plough that has been built, and looking for the Animal Husbandry Department to borrow the ploughing cattle, all to the farmers of the Agricultural Division, so that they can first plow 200,000 acres of imperial land.

Of course, this is only the first step, the second step is the Department of agriculture of these Ding Kou to help the Forestry Division, people in this era do not know how to graft and cultivate technology, but Sun Xiangfu is an expert in this area, this winter is always sunny, the temperature is similar to early spring, the temperature in the greenhouse of the happy village is just right to cultivate seedlings in advance, Sun Xiangfu to willow branches as the root, peach branches as the main body, cultivated tens of thousands of peach seedlings.

This is a very simple plant science, willow grafting is easy to survive, insert a small section of willow branches into the ground, as long as watered, it will soon give birth to small rhizomes, and the main body of the peach branch nailed into the willow branch will make this sapling grow up to be a peach tree, Sun Xiangfu no longer expects people in this era to understand this science, he only needs to come from Huangzhuang to be able to do things well according to his own requirements, he personally incarnated as a quality inspector, see the sapling go to the ground, this matter is fine, the whole process just took some manpower, In the coming year, all the 500 mountain forest clearings of the Forestry Department will be planted with fruit trees, which can be regarded as filling tens of thousands of sapling holes.

After all, more than half of the hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses captured back will be placed under the jurisdiction of the Animal Husbandry Division, which is inevitable, and no one will object to the imperial court.

However, Sun Xiangfu also took advantage of this opportunity to help promote Ma Zhou's strategy, that is, to continue to find Li Shimin's VIPs and ask for Turkic prisoners, so that these Turkic prisoners could not return to the grassland.

In order to develop the Food Supervision Division, more than 2,000 Turkic people are used to work in the Chang'an workshop in Guangguang Guanzhong, so Luoyang, Yangzhou, Yizhou and other large cities with a population of not less than 500,000 households also need factories with more than 1,000 people? After this fold went up to the eldest grandson, Li Shimin quickly took the fold to the court to let the courtiers discuss, and to his surprise, the first person to come out and agree would be Wei Zheng.

After this guy visited the Food Supervision Division, he really went home and asked the servants to make a tofu according to the process, with an average of one pound of soybeans, only to make less than three catties of tofu, and the taste is not as good as the food supervision department's production, after calculating the artificial fire consumption, he found that the emperor did not make money in the matter of tofu, and it was even possible to post money, and if there was always two pounds of tofu on the market, it would also be of great help to stabilize the price of grain.

If in the past, there were rumors of drought in Chang'an, Chang'an's grain prices could rise at least two or three times, but this year, because the price of tofu is two pennies a pound has not moved, the price of grain has only slowly risen by two or three percent, and then it will not rise, grain merchants found that the people are not stupid, and directly eat cheaper tofu to wrap their stomachs, and dare not continue to rise, anyway, a person eats a pound of tofu for only two cents, and a pound of tofu is enough to ensure the nutrition that a person needs for half a day, the bigger problem is, Stewed tofu with sauerkraut or pickles is delicious! It is more cost-effective than eating coarse grain.

Therefore, without the hindrance of Wenchen, Li Shimin waved his pen, and 5,000 Turkic prisoners were under the name of the Food Supervision Department, of course, this will not be in place until the construction of the reservoir is completed.

The matter is not over, more than 20 large reservoirs have been built, and it must be developed into fishing grounds! Who is not greedy for the fishing ground in Happy Village? Sun Xiangfu adopted another curve strategy, and after Li Shimin learned of the plan, he followed the plan, let Fang Xuanling play first, and give all civil and military officials a blessing.

How do you add to this? Give the officials fish, every year, every season, and even every month, give different grades of officials different sizes, different quantities of fish, in this era, silk cloth, grain, firewood, charcoal, can be used as a, why can't fish? It's meat!

And who would object to the matter of adding money?

So, basically without discussion, the imperial court passed, so the question is, what about so many fish?

The fishing ground of Xingfu Village is the private property of Sun Zhengming's vocational field, although there are hundreds of thousands of fish, but it can't withstand the distribution of melons in the Manchu Dynasty! Therefore, everyone's eyes are on the more than 20 large reservoirs that will be built.

So, at this time, Sun Xiangfu's excerpt came, as long as I was given the population to operate the reservoir fishing grounds, I could let these reservoir fishing grounds produce fish within a year, starting from this autumn, every official in Chang'an, and even every official, can get a certain amount of fish, and also suggested that the imperial court abolish the ban on killing carp, and change the name of the carp, just call it redtail.

The Manchu civil and military forces felt that there was no problem, so Li Shimin waved his pen again, agreed to the request of the chief of the Fisheries Department, and allocated 5,000 Turkic prisoners to the Fisheries Division.

Now it's okay, the negotiations between Honglu Temple and the Turkic envoys have not ended, and the Turkic captives have already been divided into more than 10,000 people, so it is not bad to divide a few more, so at this time, Sun Wuji, the head of the household department, played.

Or to the court officials to add money, but this time it is not materials, it is the population, according to the grade, there are officials above the seventh grade, each person is divided into two Turkic laborers as domestic slaves, the official product is one level higher, two more, the prime ministers of the first grade, each can be divided into sixty or seventy, princes, vassal kings, and increases, so that after a point, more than 20,000 Turkic captives are gone, and no one objects, because slaves are money! Even if you don't want to raise it, if you sell it in the market, it's worth a few times!

After the princes of the imperial court reached an agreement, Li Shimin felt that if the Turkic captives were treated like this, the Turkic captives would definitely have a backlash, and he still had to give a favor to simply recruit the strong men among the captives into the army, give them a chance to become masters in the Tang Dynasty, and let those Turks who were scattered and distributed also see a glimmer of hope, of course, the scale should not be too big for the time being, just 5,000 people!

In this regard, military representatives Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, Duan Zhixuan, Cheng Zhijie, Hou Junji and others all said that there was no problem, and they were vying to lead the army that was about to be composed of Hu people, so Du Ruhui, the secretary of the military department, also said that there was no problem, and the imperial court quickly passed, so far, Ma Zhou's three strategies were basically implemented, and more than 70,000 Turkic prisoners were directly divided into forty or fifty thousand, and those who picked the rest did not matter if they were not returned to the Turks, because it was impossible for the Turks to accept the fact that so many captives remained in the Tang Dynasty.

In the end, Li Shimin directly ordered to drive Ashina Simo out of Beijing, and asked him to go back and tell Jieli that the rest of the people will not be returned, if you like to be a minister, you will be a minister, and if you don't like to be a minister, you will raise troops to fight, and see who is powerful, so the remaining people were asked by Sun Xiangfu to ask for 10,000 people to go to the Department of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Forestry, because he told Li Shimin and his wife about his plan.

"Your Majesty, Weichen intends to liberate the farmers of Huangzhuang from farming."

"How?" Li Shimin heard the word liberation for the first time, and looked at Sun Xiangfu with some surprise, a farmer, what can he do if he doesn't plow the land and cultivate the land?

Wechen calculated the breeding scale of more than 20 large fish farms in the Fisheries Division, and came to a conclusion that the number of mantissa may exceed 100 million trillions, but so many fish, the daily consumption of fodder fish and grass, relying only on the output of wild and a small number of fields, is not enough to supply, so Wechen wants to apply the model of Happy Village to build supporting facilities for the fishery, pig farms, and chicken farms.

Pigs and chickens have the highest conversion rate among all livestock and poultry, uh, this conversion rate, that is, the proportion of how much meat to eat, how much to eat and how many eggs to eat, and their feces can become fish food, as long as these industries are closely combined, they can form an industrial cycle like a happy village, raising chickens and pigs requires manpower, and the Turks are not good at this, so it has to be managed by our own people.

The Turkic captives, on the other hand, were responsible for doing some simple and time-consuming heavy physical work for the people of our farms, such as logging and plowing the fields. The same model can be applied to the management of hired workers in Happy Village, where one or two skilled workers can guide hundreds of hired workers to do something they have never done before. Then, as long as we don't shorten their food and clothing, and then give some rewards to those who perform better, and give them the status of Datang people, I believe that these Turks will be well managed. ”

In Guanzhong, after all, there are many Han people, just one Chang'an City, there are more than one million Han people, and after tens of thousands of Turks are scattered and scattered, it is impossible to form a riot, especially these Turks are more stupid and simple than the Han people, and they will not know how to use stratagems to engage in tandem, maybe there will be some problems in public security at first, but as long as they are well fed and warmly clothed, after a few years, they will forget their birth and be proud of becoming Tang people.

"Well, what you say is reasonable, you can do it." Li Shimin nodded.

"In addition, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Animal Husbandry, and the Department of Forestry will also open shops in the east and west cities in the future to sell the products, among which the output of the Department of Animal Husbandry and the Department of Forestry, Wechen wants to build a brand, this name! I want to ask Your Majesty and Niangniang to decide. ”

"Brand? What do you suggest? Li Shimin heard another new word and asked curiously.

"Just like our Datang's dragon flag, everyone knows that it is our Datang's army and city at a glance, and this brand is the same, the Animal Husbandry Department and the Forestry Department are both royal industries, so the quality and quality must be guaranteed, and a lofty name must be given."

"Tall?"

"Well, it means high-end atmosphere and high-grade."

"I know one thing, you kid is afraid that you will take this opportunity to raise the price of these goods."

"Uh, Your Majesty is really discerning, Weichen's thoughts can't be hidden from Your Majesty, but wouldn't it be better for the royal family to have more money?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin shook his head and said, "As the lord of a country, what is good about competing with the people for profit?" ”

Sun Xiangfu may not know much else, as soon as the TV is turned on in later generations, the national leaders must have seen the most, what are those people doing? Donate materials here, disaster relief there, or fight corrupt officials, anyway, it's all good deeds, so that you can have the support of the people, and everyone will not oppose you, so you suggested, "Those corrupt Confucians' words to fool Your Majesty, Your Majesty must not believe it, Your Majesty has money, you can do a lot of things?" It's okay to buy people's hearts! Well, the minister is a misnomer. The minister means that when Your Majesty has money, he can do good deeds, help the poor, relieve disasters, and the worst of all, but also reward the minister, so that the hearts of the people of the world will return to the royal family, so that Your Majesty's country will not be more stable? ”

"You mean, you earn money, and I come to spend it? This is good, this is good! ”

"Uh, it seems that Your Majesty is not objecting, the brand name that Weichen wants to create for the Animal Husbandry Division is Supreme Leather Goods, and the brand for the Forestry Division is Imperial Furniture, Your Majesty, do you think it is appropriate?"

"Supreme, Imperial Court, it's really tall!" Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this.
