The beggar servant was asked by Sun Xiangfu's words, at this time, the Hui department is not strong, the internal management is still in a relatively scattered state, some of the young and strong are even in the military camp of Jieli, the beggar servant only led the most of them, and not all the Hui people recognized his position as the patriarch.

However, since he has made up his mind to come to Sun Xiangfu, then he is naturally prepared, surrender and be a vassal, this is their consistent style of returning to the Hui Ministry, in his opinion, the Tang Dynasty after incorporating the territory originally occupied by Tuli into the territory is a stronger force than the Turks led by Jieli and Xue Yantuo led by Yi Nan, and now this force is trying to expand outward.

"I don't know, if I am willing to pay tribute to Datang, then will Datang cooperate with us?"

Well, this beggar servant is more upright than Sun Xiangfu imagined, however, Sun Xiangfu didn't agree to him in one bite, just looked at him with a smile and said, "Claim to me as a minister to the Tang Dynasty?" Have you thought about it? ”

Some beggars who couldn't understand Sun Xiangfu's smile said, "I don't have the strength to establish my own khanate, so I always have to choose one side to be a vassal, between the Turks, Xue Yantuo and the Tang Dynasty, I prefer to choose the Tang Dynasty, especially after coming to Shanyang City." You may not know what this means for our nomads, as long as our cattle and sheep are not frozen to death in winter, they will breed very quickly in the coming year, and in a few years, there will be endless cattle and sheep. ”

Sun Xiangfu will not know the meaning of the warm house? What are you kidding, he spent a huge amount of money to build a greenhouse, and hired thousands of herdsmen to go to the grassland to harvest forage constantly, just so that the livestock in the jurisdiction can spend the winter in peace, and he asked Xi Jun to buy the sentence spread to the grassland, 'Please come to Shanyang for the winter, there is grain, grass, and a warm house', but he is not just shouting to his own people, he welcomes all tribes who can't survive on the grassland to come and take refuge.

However, his so-called surrender is not a surrender in the traditional sense of the Hui Ministry, but to ask the tribal leaders to completely hand over the power in their hands, so that the people under his subordinates can live under the control of the government just like the Turks in Shanyang City, and the land they originally occupied will also be planned by the imperial court, at most give you, the head of the lead in submission, a title, some gold and silver, so that you can live decently.

"That's right, surrender to my Datang, you can not only develop the dairy industry, but also have a greenhouse for cattle, sheep and herdsmen to spend the winter, as for the shortage of salt and iron, it will no longer exist, but, have you really thought it through?"

was a little stunned by Sun Xiangfu's question, "That, think about it, think about it clearly!" ”

"Well, I'll tell you how to surrender! First of all, you must give the court a fold, and the second is to hand over the military power and the people in your hands, you yourself may be given a knighthood by His Majesty, and it is not clear whether you will be given real power or not, but you will definitely be able to live a comfortable and rich life. ”

The beggar servant was stunned when he heard this, "Uh, isn't this no different from Tuli?" ”

Sun Xiangfu shook his head with a smile and said, "The difference is very big, Tuli is defeated and surrendered, and you are actively surrendered, Your Majesty will definitely give you a high courtesy in order to make an example for others, and even appoint you as a powerful official." ”

At this point, Sun Xiangfu is not wrong at all, in history, Ashina Simo under Jieli took refuge in the county king, and there were many Hu generals, and later they were the main force with troops, and when no one was available, it was inevitable that a large number of these generals would be used, not to mention the beggars who took the initiative to take refuge.

Hearing this, the beggar servant was a little moved, as the leader of a force, he still knows some Han customs, in short, it is a good face. For a person like him who has no ambitions, it is still very cost-effective to exchange the military power that has no practical use for a national duke, or even the title of a county king, you must know that Sun Xiangfu's current title is just a county duke, and the power he holds is much greater than that of the tribal leader of the beggar servant.

"Then, can I ask you to help me write the recital and give it to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? You know, we are not good at writing and ink. ”

Is that the decision? Sun Xiangfu said with some surprise, "Are you sure you want to surrender to my Datang?" This is no child's play! ”

The beggar nodded firmly, "I'm sure." ”

Sun Xiangfu didn't know what kind of life the Hui people lived, as a force that surrendered to the Turks, in the past few years, they were once exploited by Jieli and Turki, and their lives were already on the verge of collapse, otherwise, they would not have been because Wang Lin gave them a little benefit, they would have run to the side pass to block Li Jing, but they couldn't break the relationship with the Taiyuan Wang family.

Sun Xiangfu saw that he answered so firmly, so he said, "This letter can be written for you, and I will do my best to help you fight for more benefits, and in addition, in tomorrow's auction, you can help this governor contribute······"

Sun Xiangfu talked with the beggar servant merchant very late, and after sending him away, Sun Xiangfu let out a long breath, although the beggar servant cannot represent all the people in the entire Hui Ministry, but it can play an exemplary role, what is the so-called thing that he invested so much money in Shanyang City to develop people's livelihood?

It is for this moment, with a really good life, so that the nomads can not leave the city of the Han people, can not do without the Han people, and gradually belong to it, as long as the most critical foundation development is completed in the past two years, in the future, he can directly use grain, wine, and warm houses to tempt all the herdsmen on the grassland, change their nationality, and live under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

Imagine what it would be like for a developed country to open up its immigration policy of unconditional nationality transfer to poor countries in the future. It is estimated that in a few days, the population of that poor country will be emptied, because even in this developed country, it is better to get a poverty subsidy than to live as a rich person in that poor country.

To promote economic development and surrender without a fight, this is what Sun Xiangfu wants to do, for this reason, he must continue to improve the productivity of the Tang Dynasty, especially in agriculture, with the ability to supply enough food and clothing for everyone, only then can he have the basic conditions to rule everyone.

A beggar servant asked to surrender to the Tang Dynasty was written late at night, Sun Xiangfu did so much work in Shanyang, and it was finally time to harvest, he even directly suggested in the recital that Li Shimin should be given the title of a county king by the beggar servant, regardless of whether the beggar servant led all the Hui people to surrender, first occupy the name, and when he gradually implemented this set of development models in Shanyang, he would not encounter so much resistance.

In the early morning of the next day, Sun Xiangfu was dressed and washed under Yu Xiuer's service, and even entered the carriage, he was squinting his eyes to make up for sleep, Li Shimin is a Ming Jun, for how he decides, Sun Xiangfu actually doesn't have to worry too much, what he is most worried about is that the appetite of the five surnames and seven families is too big, and he does not give the small and medium-sized families the opportunity to develop outside the customs, and the small and medium-sized families do not have the strength and courage to confront them.

In the flower building of Sanggan River, Wei Shuhuan, who had just gotten up, received a letter, and he didn't need to look at the payment, just glanced at the Song font on the envelope, and he knew that it was written by Sun Xiangfu.

"Let's take a few pieces of second-class land from the Guanlong family? That's fine. ”

After reading the letter, Uncle Wei went to the private room next door, Yang Hong came to Hualou with him last night, he knew that Yang Hong, who sold five thousand serfs, was very rich, and even if he was not enough, he had hundreds of thousands of yuan in his hands, which could be lent to him, and they who had eaten toffee last night also felt that this was a good business.

Accompanied Wei Zheng to have a simple breakfast at the inn where he stayed, Sun Xiangfu told him about the beggar servant who asked to surrender to the Tang Dynasty last night, but asked Wei Zheng to eat two more steamed cakes for breakfast today.

"The old man now knows the power of your methods, don't worry, the matter of money, after the old man returns to Chang'an, he won't mention a word, if you can use this method, so that the people on the grassland are willing to be Han people from now on, the old man tried his best to persuade those scholars to change their views on foreign races."

"In this way, the kid will thank you Lord Wei, but it's not for you to go back to Chang'an empty-handed, if you get enough cash later, you still have to escort a batch of money back to Chang'an, of course, these money can't be made public, it is used to buy grain for Your Majesty to help the victims, it just so happens that the kid knows that a large amount of grain will enter Chang'an after a while."

Sun Xiangfu said a large amount of grain, naturally Wang Hao's hands of the grain, but talking to Wei Zheng, he can't say half of it, so his agreement with Wang Hao selectively said to Wei Zheng, the general meaning is that Wang Hao, a big landlord in Jiangnan, plans to plant Zhancheng rice in Jiangnan next year, because he is afraid that he will grow too much grain, smash it in his hands, so he wants to get rid of it, and in order to let him pull the grain to Guanzhong to sell, the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate signed a grain purchase agreement with him, and the grain grown by Wang Hao in the future, It will be sold to the Anbei Metropolitan Government at a price of 20% lower than the market price.

And what does Sun Xiangfu want so much food for! The Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, even if you add the population of the Hui Ministry, add up, it is only two or three hundred thousand people, and each person eats twenty stones a year, how much food does he eat in a year?

It's less than six million stones, but Wang Hao can grow more than 10 million stones of grain a year, and it is impossible for a person to eat more than six catties of rice a day.

Therefore, Sun Xiangfu will produce at least a few million stones of rice every year, and these rices are used to make spirits, make perfumes, or feed more nomads who have taken refuge in them.

For example, the Murwei, the Stale, and other departments that are still living a semi-savage life also have the potential to be appeased! The farmer uncle of the Tang Dynasty has food here, as long as they are willing to come over, there is no need for you to hunt and find food in the snow, the rice here makes you eat your stomach until it is round, and your greenhouse allows you to sleep comfortably every night.

Of course, these are just Sun Xiangfu's ideas, this world is full of variables, the family, and the rulers of the grassland, may not allow Sun Xiangfu to dig their foundations, so after breakfast, the two of them cheered up and rushed to the auction venue.
