Early the next morning, Li Chunfeng and Xuanzang went out separately, and they didn't know what to do, so Sun Xiangfu led a group of heavily armed guards out of the city and went to a farm about 30 miles outside the city.

"Jun buy, pay attention, the news of our coming to Luoyang, even the people who opened the restaurant know about it, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to live in peace." The horse team went out of the city, and Sun Xiangfu explained to Xi Junmai while putting a helmet on his head.

"Don't worry, haven't you seen this formation set by Zhao Long, once you run, even if there are thousands of officers and soldiers in front of you, with our armor and blade, you can easily rush over."

Xi Junmai glanced at the cautious Sun Xiangfu with some disdain, and casually pointed to the forwards on the left and right, and Sun Xiangfu saw a little way.

"Can we fight against thousands of officers and soldiers?" Sun Xiangfu was a little unconvinced.

"It's easy, even if it's a thousand cavalry, it's not afraid, not counting the use of a crossbow, one person will swing twenty or thirty swords and it's over." Xi Junmaidao, who had tested the defensive power of the armor and the sharpness of the hundred steel knives developed by Sun Xiangfu and the craftsmen.

With the current standard equipment of the Tang Army, it is basically impossible to break through the heavy armor on the guards, and once they fight, it is basically a one-sided slaughter.

"Well, then I'll be relieved, but you still have to help keep an eye on the people inside us, don't let the emperor develop them all into secret guards."

"Secret guards? Is it like those people who are planted in Wangjiang Tower? Xi Junmaiyi frowned.

"Well, almost! But there must be something powerful among them, Wangjianglou is because there are many guests coming and going, and the emperor can understand the national situation and some secrets through the chats of those guests, so he arranged a lot of ordinary secret guards, our majesty, but I love to listen to some other people's gossip. ”

"Gossip?" Xi Junmai was stunned.

"Well, it's a little secret or something." Sun Xiangfu accidentally used the wrong word again, so he explained.

"No, the people in the escort team are all sincere people who know how to repay their kindness, even if the emperor is kind to them, he should not do anything to betray you." Xi Junmai thought about it and chose to believe them.

"Well, I also hope so, but I can't be lax in management, if everything is known to the emperor, it is very inconvenient for me to do things, I always think about the interests of the emperor, not my character." Sun Xiangfu said it again, and Xi Junmai also nodded, after all, no one wants to have a pair of eyes looking at him all day long.

Chatting all the way, everyone soon arrived at Xizhuang, and Wang Erniu, who was appointed as the village head, saw that there was a horse team coming, and he had already gathered the villagers of the whole village, with seven or eight hundred people.

"Village Chief, you're finally here."

Without any etiquette, Wang Erniu scratched his scalp with a smile and said.

"Here, you are the village chief, how about it, it's been two or three months since you came here, have you been on the track?"

Some of the later generations that Sun Xiangfu said can be understood by the people from the happy village, such as the words on the track, Wang Erniu is not unfamiliar at all, and when he heard this, he pointed to the village, "After the spring ploughing, I will take them to build a house, and the public house has been built, you will know it at a glance." ”

The whole Xi Village has more than 15,000 acres of land and nearly 200 households, which is several times larger than the original 50 Happy Village, and most of these people live here, and the situation is much better than the original Happy Village.

Yes, after Wang Erniu got the management of this village, it was not as difficult as the previous Happy Village, a brick house that was exactly the same as Happy Village, and the larger one brick house was located at the head of the village, Sun Xiangfu followed Wang Erniu's guidance, and walked to the courtyard of the public house.

Just walked into the courtyard gate, Sun Xiangfu saw a pile of fish cages made of bamboo strips in the yard, it seems that fishing, digging ponds to breed Wang Erniu have not fallen.

After a while, everyone in the village was summoned to the lobby of the public house by Wang Erniu, and found their habitual place to sit down.

"Everyone, listen up, this Lord Sun is the owner who bought our village, and he is a senior official in Chang'an who is responsible for helping the emperor manage the royal farm, and he taught me my skills, so I will ask him to tell us a few words."

Wang Erniu, who already has the appearance of a village official, shouted a few opening words, and the villagers only then figured out the identity of Sun Xiangfu, everyone is now convinced by Wang Erniu, since he took over Xi Village, each family has eaten fish, dug a pond, raised a lot of yellow eels, loaches, it is said that this thing can be sold at a high price in winter.

Looking at the podium in front of the seat, the proprietor who was a big official, saw that his face was very kind, and this side made these Xicun villagers who were getting better and better suddenly feel that the future was secure.

"Hello everyone, my name is Sun Zhengming, don't listen to his nonsense, I am not a big official in Chang'an, I am a farmer, and some nobles in Chang'an joined forces to buy the land here, so in the future, the output here will belong to several of our shareholders, and our shareholders will be responsible for paying taxes to the imperial court and supporting you."

Tenants, to put it bluntly, are hired by the landlord to farm for the landlord, and the situation in Xi Village is not as good as that of Xingfu Village, where the villager Sun Xiangfu is regarded as his own family, and the wealth produced is also half of them.

And here, there are several joint industries, and the villagers naturally do not have so much preferential treatment, so Sun Xiangfu first collectivized the management here, and then formulated a salary system for them, after the opening remarks, Sun Xiangfu began to talk about the system.

"In the future, all agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery in the village, including the breeding industry that may be carried out in the future, will continue to be managed by Wang Erniu, and each family only needs to complete the production tasks assigned by Wang Erniu to get the corresponding remuneration, so how to calculate the remuneration? I'm going to tell you about ······."

For the management of each farm, Sun Xiangfu discussed the detailed rules with several major shareholders in Chang'an early in the morning, including the distribution of remuneration, first of all, the basic expenses of the villagers, food, clothing, housing, and even medical care, Sun Xiangfu will take care of it.

Then, it is 20% of all output, which will be distributed to each villager every year according to the head, if you want to take more, you can produce more, and you can also have a few more children to share the account, for childbirth, several major shareholders are encouraged, population is wealth!

After that, there is the individual scoring project, after completing the collective task, the individual can also complete additional work, get the work, the work can be exchanged for remuneration, in addition, the person in charge of each small project, will give a certain performance reward.

When Sun Xiangfu told the villagers all these things, the villagers immediately knelt down for Sun Xiangfu, there is such a good owner in the world, who manages food, official housing, even clothes and medical treatment, and money to take, and officials who work as errands for the imperial court, don't have such good benefits!

"Fellow countrymen, you pay your labor to make money for us, and we give you a living guarantee and a small surplus, which is as it should be, but this does not mean that you will have no worries about your life from now on. People have no ideals, they are no different from salted fish, and if you want to live a better life, you still need to work your own.

Like the happy village in Chang'an, I will ask my husband to open a school here later, all the children in the village can enter the school to study, including yourself, you must also study, read and write, who has the ability to be qualified for management positions, just like Wang Erniu, how much money does he earn a year, I am afraid that it will scare you to death if I say it······"

Sun Xiangfu only chatted with the villagers for an hour or two, but in these two hours, all the villagers seemed to see a road to the light, reading, literacy, official management of a farm, annual income of several hundred, these words have been circling in their minds, until after lunch, Sun Xiangfu went to the field accompanied by Wang Erniu, and many people were still reluctant to look at Sun Xiangfu's back.

"Village chief, all around Luoyang are wheat grown, and our village is no exception, planting about 10,000 mu, and the rest are all soybeans." Wang Erniu pointed to a verdant wheat tunnel.

Sun Xiangfu pulled out the wheat seedlings and looked at the soil, obviously, Wang Erniu according to his requirements, before sowing the soil was crushed, but I don't know if the ploughing is deep enough, for this kind of perennial planting of dry wheat fields, we must deepen the ploughing layer year by year, and apply enough fertilizer, the wheat will grow well.

"If we plant wheat again next year, the land will be at least half a foot deeper than this year, and in addition, the planting is still too dense, the fertility in the field is not enough, and most of the wheat ears are not full, so it is better to sow less. Next year's planting should be reduced by at least two to three percent. ”

Sun Xiangfu said, Wang Erniu nodded and wrote down, Sun Xiangfu had actually told him about this problem before, but he couldn't take care of all the villagers by himself, and it would be troublesome to take back what he sowed, so although the villagers heard his shouting, they still habitually sowed more, in their opinion, the more they sowed, the more they harvested.

After walking around the wheat field and walking around the soybean field, Sun Xiangfu basically knew a rough idea of the farming affairs in Xi Village, and on the way back to the village, Sun Xiangfu said to Wang Erniu, "I think everyone is quite convinced of you now, you have to take the opportunity to train a few more management talents who listen to you, and when there is a big move in the village, you will not fight alone."

In addition, Luoyang is surrounded by plains, and there is no way to build a reservoir, so you can directly find a low-lying place to dig soil and burn bricks to build a house! In addition to the renovation of the villagers' houses, pig farms and chicken farms were also built in advance, at that time, when the soil was dug out, the fish pond was almost completed, and these tasks were done as soon as possible, and Chang'an would soon have chicken seedlings and pig seedlings and seeds of new crops to be sent. ”

"Well, you can get more, our village is very manpowered." Wang Erniu heard that the farm would soon be open, and his face was full of excitement.

Of course, what he was most looking forward to was the things that were planted in the village with the new method, so he asked, "What do the things that were planted in our village at the beginning of the year look like now?" ”

"Yes, yes! After a while, when the fruit is ripe, Dali should send some to Luoyang to sell, and then you can try it. Sun Xiangfu smiled and said.

The farming potential of Xi Village is much larger than that of Xingfu Village, first of all, there are many more fields, in addition, here along the streams, it is not difficult to make a few large pieces of watered land, for planting crops that require a lot of water, there is an advantage that Xingfu Village does not have, now there is a fast boat, between Chang'an and Luoyang is very fast, in the future, it is possible to put the cultivation of some crops to Xi Village.
