Now, there is not much time to chat with Li Shimin alone, taking this opportunity, Sun Xiangfu naturally wants to talk to Li Shimin more about his own plans, the so-called work in front, that is, to make all the governance plans in advance, and make corresponding preparations in advance for the implementation progress of these plans, and formulate relevant policies.

For example, in the next three years, there will be at least seven or eight cities to be built in the territory, such as Dingxiang City, as well as the city located in the Urumqi area in the later generations, named Shangqi by Sun Xiangfu, located in the Ulanqab area named Ulan by Sun Xiangfu, located in the north of Liangzhou five hundred miles away, belonging to the center of the original Hui Hui territory, named Tai'an city by Sun Xiangfu, located in the east near the territory of Murowei, named Baishan by Sun Xiangfu, these are county-level cities like Shanyang.

There are smaller ones, such as Anyuan between Biguan and Shanyang, Ningyuan County, such as Hexing County, Guixing County, Changxing County between Shanyang and the future Wulan City, Guixing County, Changxing County, etc., and so on The infrastructure between these cities and cities is completed, it may be seven or eight years or even ten years later, how to open up the situation, how to set up a development route for the people of these cities, all need to have a long-term vision, as far as the current imperial court is concerned, there are few local officials who see the specific development plan so long-term.

"In your plan, in the future, these cities will be used by 700,000 people in the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and if they are shared, there is no need to build such a big city!"

After listening to Sun Xiangfu's plans for the future, Li Shimin interrupted. Looking at Sun Xiangfu's appearance, the nearly 20 million yuan of land sales money is not intended to be given to the imperial court at all, after all, the investment of a county-level large city is properly more than one million, which is unacceptable.

"Your Majesty, the 35,000 households of the Protectorate of the Metropolitan Government of Anbei have moved over to the middle, almost 100,000 people, and nearly 100,000 herdsmen collected from the grasslands by Weichen, about 350,000 people.

There are about 200,000 peasant households that have moved over from the major families, totaling more than 500,000 people, and nearly 100,000 households that the minister got back from Wei Gong this time, almost 200,000 people, which already has a population of more than 1 million. ”

Hearing the data reported by Sun Xiangfu, Li Shimin was a little stunned and said, "Three, three million? Why is that? ”

"Because now the young and strong laborers in Shanyang City can earn more than the same amount of money every month, which also includes women, and in other places in Datang, even the people in Guanzhong, it is difficult to achieve this income, so a large number of young people in Guanzhong will go to make a living outside Guan."

Hearing this, Li Shimin looked at Sun Xiangfu with some disbelief, "So, you are building a city for three million people?" ”

When Sun Xiangfu heard this, he shook his head with a smile and said, "No, the minister's city will continue to be built, ten years later, five million, or even more people will go to the north, there will be a place to live, for the future, the minister is very daring to think." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin was silent for a moment, then shook his head silently and said, "It turns out that you have dug such a big hole in this civic system, but I don't dare to let you take such a risk, the entire Tang Dynasty may not have five million young people now, do you want me to move the entire country to Guanwai?" ”

Sun Xiangfu smiled when he heard this, "Hehe, it is true that there may not be five million young people in Datang now, but ten years later, there will be more than that, plus the household registration list reported to the court by the minister in the past two years, our Datang should now have more than 3.5 million households!" ”

At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there were only more than two million households, and it has been growing slowly, until the Zhenguan Dynasty, there has been no explosive growth, but it is mainly affected by successive wars, but this year, there has been a large increase in population.

First of all, the Turkic people were accepted into the Tang Dynasty as a whole, and then the Tibetan slaves of the family were dug up by Sun Xiangfu and registered as a household registration, and since Lingnan had potbelly disease and some epidemics under control, the population began to grow explosively, but these aspects alone can not make the population reach tens of millions after ten years in the Tang Dynasty, and Sun Xiangfu has other ways.

After his order, Lingnan's fleet would add at least tens of thousands of people to Datang every year. In addition, the Hu Shang team, starting from next year, will bring a large number of people from the Western Regions to Datang every year, and they are all young and strong, the list of goods in short supply, is the pit dug by Sun Xiangfu for them, ten years of accumulation, the population transported to Datang by the merchants, will be a terrifying data, when the time comes, the country's economic center of gravity in the north, Sun Xiangfu's jurisdiction of the population exceeded five million, it should be an easy thing.

Li Shimin still hesitated, "Your heart is too big, I'm worried that something will go wrong." ”

"Your Majesty, isn't it because of the minister's daring to think and your courage to do that our Datang victory against the Turks has been achieved, just these things that the minister said to you just now will not be more dangerous than the national war against Jieli during the Guanzhong disaster!"

Sun Xiangfu said this, Li Shimin also felt that he was reasonable, he dared to fight, why didn't he dare to govern?

After turning a corner in his mind, Li Shimin looked at Sun Xiangfu again, "You just say, in your plans, I and the imperial court will help you do something!" ”

"It's easy! Next year, you go to the north to send clothes to our herdsmen, and then go to the north to send some salt tea the year after tomorrow, and visit our herdsmen's homes in the year after tomorrow, accompany them to eat, and invite them to the city to watch a play or something, is it simple? ”

"That's it?"

"Yes! All you need to do is give the people a friendly smile, wave at them, and say a few words of sympathy. ”

This set, even in later generations, is also very effective, ordinary people, only need a smile from the national leader, a handshake, a cordial greeting, they can be excited for a while, and even remember for a lifetime, and this period is completely different from the emperor's practice of being held high in the shrine, but it can be loved by the people.

Seeing that Li Shimin looked incomprehensible, Sun Xiangfu said again, "It's just right, aren't you going to entertain Dongzhu tomorrow, you can use her as a test, you can ask her, the people on the grassland, whether the grain and grass for this year's winter are enough, whether the clothes are warm, and whether there is a medicine when you are sick and cold, just pretend to be a benevolent elder." ”

Li Shimin interrupted when he heard this, "Nonsense, do I need to pretend?" I am, you just tell me directly, what's the benefit of doing this! ”

"Your Majesty, whether it is the Turks or the Xue Yantuo people, they are all people, if you are good to them, they will naturally be good to you, they can be fed and clothed, who is willing to fight with others with a knife! Now the minister is sure that they will be fed and clothed, and what they need is for you to collect their hearts. ”

"Attention? That's the reason. ”

After Li Shimin figured it out, he put his hands behind his back and began to ponder, Sun Xiangfu has confidence in his acting skills, as long as he thinks about his own script, there is no problem at all to fool Dongzhu and the people she brought.

After walking for a while, Li Shimin looked up at Sun Xiangfu and said, "Your method is good, simple and practical!" ”

"That's, otherwise I can mention it to you, by the way, for Dongzhu's performance dedicated to you, you have to show special affection, and it's best to bring a wave of popularity."

"Do you still need you to teach me this, do you think that without my promotion, the bamboo pole dance in Lingnan would be popular in the entire Chang'an City?"

"That's good, that's good, you don't know! This music, singing and dancing, but the simplest thing to spread culture, when they have a certain understanding, we will give them beautiful poems and songs, and within one or two hundred years, they will become completely no different from us. ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin was surprised, "One or two hundred years? ”

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "So! In order to shorten this time, we have to work harder! There aren't a few decades in life. ”

His words made Li Shimin inexplicably melancholy, there are indeed not a few decades in his life, although he is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period at this time, but he has also begun to enter the ranks of the elderly, didn't he see that Li Chengqian is more than ten years old, he can actually get married in a few years, in this period, people over thirty years old, but they can call themselves old husbands, Li Shimin is qualified to call himself an old man.

"Okay, I'll support you as much as I did before, and I hope you don't let me down. It's not early today, you go back and make arrangements, tomorrow I will hold a banquet in Wangjiang Tower to entertain Dongzhu, you still have a lot of things! ”

"Then the minister withdrew."

"Slow, I have to go to the harem to meet the queen, she has been talking about you all these days!"

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu stopped his body and asked Li Shimin, "Has Niangniang's qi disease had an attack recently?" ”

Seeing Sun Xiangfu ask about this, Li Shimin's face was a little gloomy and said, "Occasional seizures, with the medicine prescribed by Sun Daochang before, I can be safe." ”

Sun Xiangfu gave Li Shimin a reassuring look and said, "Hu Shang from the Western Regions of Chentuo has found some vegetables that are beneficial to the heart and lungs, and they can be planted next year. ”

"You have a heart, by the way, how did you know that there is such a thing in the Western Regions?"

Sun Xiangfu was stunned when he heard this, and found a reason to say, "The minister loves to study this thing, and he also likes to inquire about these things when chatting with Hu Shang in the Western Regions. ”

"Well, let's Datang want more talents like you, okay, let's go back! If you want to eat, go back and choose a good piece of land in Huangzhuang, and have a variety of points. ”

Li Shimin waved his hand at Sun Xiangfu, and Sun Xiangfu said goodbye again and walked towards the city.

On the city wall, Li Shimin was still standing on it blowing the cold wind, and after a long time, he shook his sleeves and sighed, "Sun Zhengming is right, I should dare to think and do more, and my life is not a few decades." ”

And Sun Xiangfu, who went out of the palace under the leadership of the chamberlain, met Li Chengqian, who was waiting for him here, at the gate of the imperial city.

"Prince, why are you here?"

Li Chengqian's height was much taller than before, seeing that Sun Xiangfu looked at himself in a daze, he smiled and pointed to his carriageway, "Hehe, teacher, please get in the car, let's go to Wangjianglou!" ”
