If Li Shimin can successfully win Goguryeo, then the territory of the Tang Dynasty is already very close to the Tang Dynasty, and if the population of all the subject countries can be successfully absorbed, then the total population of the Tang Dynasty will more than double.

The total population of Yunnan alone is more than 2 million, and if you add a Linyi country, there are 3 million.

Tuyuhun, the total population of the various party departments, plus the Tubo prisoners, is more than one million.

Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and the population of the three kingdoms exceeded 4 million, and the Wa Kingdom was currently far away from home with its own territory, and its attitude was still unclear, so it was not counted for the time being.

The Western Turks, and the dozen or so countries that surrendered with the demise of the Western Turks, each country has a population ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and it adds up to several millions, and it is appropriate to add up to 10 million new people.

Of course, it may take many years to really eat and digest all these subjugated countries, which will require a large round of political escalation.

Now that the war in the Northeast is not over, even if Sun Xiangfu has some ideas of his own, he can't tell Li Shimin, all he can say is some things at hand, that is, the Wang family has decided to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster.

First of all, they donated 3 million acres of land to merge with the state, and settled those newly descended Goguryeo people to the imperial court, and annexed Taiyuan, but the foundation of their Wang clan, after donating these fields that they had cultivated for generations to the imperial court, their Taiyuan Wang clan may have to be renamed in the future, and it may be more appropriate to call it Dingxiang Wang.

Then, they planned to fund the construction of a cement road from Guanzhong to Mayi for the imperial court, because the section between Mayi and Shanyang has been repaired, and the section between Shanyang and Dingxiang will be repaired soon, and they only need to repair the section from Guanzhong to Mayi, then, more than 2,000 miles from Chang'an to Dingxiang, there will be a cement road to go.

Of course, this cement road is not a highway in later generations, there will be viaducts and other things, but the original official road paved with mud and gravel, slightly straightened, widened, paved, and cemented with fine stones and cement, at best, it is similar to the rural roads of later generations.

The length of the entire road section to be built by the Wang family is about 1,600 miles, it is expected to hire 50,000 workers, and it takes two years to complete, this is because of the cement road, Guanzhong has a very mature experience, in the case of complete materials, 10,000 people, one day can almost repair one mile, 50,000 people can repair five miles a day, except for the bathing day, in the case of complete materials, one year can actually be repaired, the reason why it takes two years, of course, is because of the preparation of materials and transportation of materials, it takes a certain amount of time.

And through the number of workers, it can be seen that the cost of this road is very expensive, even if it is only built and the rural road of later generations, the Wang family will spend more than 5 million yuan, because at the current price, the Wang family spends more than 100,000 yuan on 50,000 hired workers every month, two years, that is, more than 2 million yuan, plus the cost of materials, at least more than 2 million yuan, and many people in charge of the organization.

The reason why the Wang family is willing to spend so much money to build roads for the imperial court is not entirely to eliminate Li Shimin's anger, it is because Sun Xiangfu analyzed the future way out of the Wang family to Wang Rui.

The Wang family, which has tens of millions of acres of high-yield fields in the north, will have a very large crop output in the future, so large that it cannot be consumed anywhere else, and in Datang, only Guanzhong, which is becoming more and more densely populated, can consume the agricultural products in their hands, because, gradually turning to the industrialized Guanzhong, the number of workers in the future will be more and more, and the output of farmland will be less and less.

After the Wang family built such a cement road, they could let their own output arrive in Chang'an quickly, saving the loss caused by transportation, which seemed to be a lot of money, but in fact, the money would be slowly saved by the Wang family.

The last one is a private business, Wang Xu once promised Sun Xiangfu that he had completed the replacement of the fields with the five families in Shangqi City, and he wanted to thank him, and this thank you was the entire medicinal material industry of the Wang family.

Sun Xiangfu counted the real estate title deed in his hand, just opened in Chang'an, Luoyang, Yangzhou, Yizhou, there are more than 30 pharmacies, and there are some medicinal herb shops similar to Hongzhou, Suzhou and other central and upper states, adding up, there are nearly 100, the value of these shops, as well as the value of the existing medicinal materials in the shop, is definitely more than one million.

If you want to ask Wang Xu why he is so generous to Sun Xiangfu, it is because he has seen the future of this industry.

Since the opening of Shanyang Medical College, the pharmacies in various parts of the Wang family have been providing medicinal materials to the medical school at a low price, and the amount of medicinal materials required by the medical school is very large, and the Wang family has supplied all the medicinal material resources at an affordable price, which has led to their lack of profit in this industry at all.

Then, Shanyang Medical College will develop several Chinese patent medicines every year, this simple only needs to be swallowed, the disease can see the new drugs, greatly impacted the traditional medicine market, such as black chicken Baifeng pills, bezoar detoxification pills, Xiao Chai Hu granules, Banlan root granules, Xia Sangju granules, etc., some headache brain fever, cold and flu, menstrual irregularities minor diseases, after eating can see good, than before to buy medicine decoction, a drink for several days, much simpler and more convenient, this year these medicines, almost by the Western Regions Hu Shang looted.

Therefore, Wang Xu has already seen that this medicinal material industry is in his own hands, and he can not make money in Sun Xiangfu's hands, so he just does favors.

As soon as he sent it like this, he reminded Sun Xiangfu that this pharmaceutical industry is a big progress.

In the study, he also began to look at the origin, growth environment and other information of many medicinal materials sent by Sun Simiao before, and he needed to make a planting plan in advance, and to study the cultivation and planting methods before many medicinal materials became extinct, so as to avoid destroying the natural breeding of many medicinal materials because of the large number of wild Chinese herbs collected by humans, so as to make them more and more scarce.

"Big brother, it's time to eat."

"It's not a slice of bread today!"

Seeing Sun Xiangfu's deep hatred for bread slices, Sun Xiaomei was very depressed, what is wrong with bread slices, brushed with jam, sweet and sour, soft and easy to digest, why don't the eldest brother and second brother like to eat it!

"Everyone went ice fishing today, and the harvest was not small! Made your favorite fish head hot pot. ”

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu was overjoyed and said, "Yes, then I want to eat more." ”

In winter, Shanyang is full of thick snow, in addition to the drama theater and teahouse, people's favorite activity is to go ice fishing on the Sanggan River, and there are many people fishing in several artificial lakes in the city, when everyone is rich, they will be happy to find these joys of life.

Sun Xiangfu thought that today was a small stove, but he didn't think that the living room at home was actually crowded with a room of children, plus this year he brought more than 50 Shanyang, the official disciples of the agricultural gate, there are a total of about 80 people, next summer, he plans to recruit the first batch of students, in the agricultural college where some school buildings have been completed, teach them scientific planting knowledge.

"Shanyang is colder than Guanzhong, are you used to it?"

After Sun Xiangfu entered the hall, he said to a group of little guys who were staring at the churning food in the hot pot and drooling.

"Habitual ······"

The uneven voice of the answer made him want to laugh a little, even if there is no shortage of food now, the children's resistance to food is very small, and many children squirt saliva when they open their mouths.

"Eat when you're hungry! Be careful not to burn your mouth, people who eat more fish have smart brains. ”

Children, is the future of this country, as Sun Xiangfu is in a higher position, the eyes of things are getting longer and longer, if it weren't for a guy covered in frost, suddenly ran in and grabbed his seat, he would definitely have a good chat with the future of these countries through this meal.

"You, the reincarnation of a starving ghost!"

After Cheng Chumo came in, he didn't say a word, he scooped a big spoonful of fish soup from the hot pot into the bowl in front of him, and drank it in one gulp, Sun Xiangfu remembered that the fish soup seemed to be boiling all the time, and what was even more bizarre was that after he drank a big spoonful of boiling fish soup, he actually said the word 'cool'.

"It's all come to your house, so you don't need to put the official score for me! Today, let's only talk about private matters, only talk about private matters, that, how is Miss Ruyan doing in Chang'an? After picking up the chopsticks in front of him and stomping them on the table, Cheng Chumo said while holding the fish fillets in the pot.

"Chang'an City has not been breached, and she naturally can't die."

Hearing Sun Xiangfu's words, Cheng Chumo caught the fish on the chopsticks, and suddenly fell into the pot again, the soup splashed on his hands, and he didn't feel it at all, and said in a desperate tone, "I can't die, but I can describe a miserable person, what happened to my Ruyan girl?" ”

"Uh, I still want to eat this pot of fish, please take your hand away quickly, don't let the soup in your hand drip into the pot again·····"

When Sun Xiangfu said this, Cheng Chumo realized how itchy the back of his hand was, withdrew his hand, just wiped it on his clothes, and the soup mixed with a lot of ice slag on his body shook to the ground, and now Sun Xiangfu knew why he drank a bowl of boiling fish soup and didn't feel hot, it turned out that his whole person was almost frozen.

"Say, what's wrong with my smoke-like girl?"

"Why do you think I'm going to do anything to her?"

"Because, if you don't want to treat him, others won't do anything to him."

"What's going on, it's as if I've got the final say in Chang'an, she is Zhang Cheng's sister, Zhang Cheng is involved in such a big rebellion case, the secret guards naturally want to take her away for investigation."

"The guards took her away?" Hearing Sun Xiangfu say this, Cheng Chumo's soul seemed to be drained, and he suddenly felt that the food in the house was not so fragrant.

"When I returned to Shanyang, I released it again, this matter has nothing to do with her, and she found the letter in time and reported it, which is considered a small credit, but before Wang Hao and Zhang Cheng are not ambushed, residential surveillance is necessary."

"Residential surveillance? Hmph, this task should be carried out by me. ”

Hearing that it was okay, Cheng Chumo sat down, stomped on his chopsticks, and prepared to eat again.

"Speaking of carrying out the mission, didn't Your Majesty send you back to Shanyang to carry out the mission?"

"Yes! The army was blocked in the new city, and the dog day was huddled in the city, unable to defend it, the weather over there was as cold as his good sun, and the sergeants could not wear their iron armor, His Majesty wanted to temporarily retire from the army to recuperate, let me come back and escort some more cold-resistant spirits and medicines for typhoid fever to the past. ”

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "It's quite cold in the northeast, but isn't this kind of cold weather just right for attacking the city?" ”

Cheng Chu silently heard this, and asked with a surprised face, "Cold weather, how to attack the city?" ”
