Chapter 112: To Luoyang

Why did Sun Xiangfu get these things? It's not because the world isn't safe.

I still remember the scene when Wang Lin suddenly ran to Wangjiang Tower to make peace with himself that day, how could a noble family who even looked down on the emperor bow to Sun Xiangfu, a lowly farmer, just because they reached an agreement with Pei Lin at that time, to let Wangjiang Tower be opened temporarily, so as to cooperate with Pei Lian's plan and launch a coup d'état, so they pretended to come to make peace with Sun Xiangfu.

If Pei Lian's coup d'état succeeded, Sun Xiangfu was afraid that he would have been crushed long ago, and Wangjianglou would have become the property of those families from now on, thinking of this, Sun Xiangfu's cold sweat would not help but burst out.

It's a pity that they miscalculated again, and Li Shimin made a time difference, and at the moment before they broke out, they wiped out their hands.

Sun Xiangfu was able to get away with it again, but he also saw the faces of these families more clearly, they had no royal law in their hearts, and they would never compromise with a peasant like himself, so before they were eradicated, Sun Xiangfu couldn't relax for a moment.

Even the blueprints of the crossbow and fine armor, Sun Xiangfu, were dedicated to Li Shimin, in exchange for a special order that allowed him to equip up to three hundred guards.

It's a pity that although Li Shimin has made a lot of money recently, he still can't burn as much money as Sun Xiangfu, so he hasn't built a large number of equipped troops.

One guard, one set of equipment is nearly two hundred, even with Sun Xiangfu's financial resources, now he has only made about a hundred sets and almost exhausted the cash flow of his house, so what he brought out this time is almost half of Sun Xiangfu's net worth.

"Sun Xiamu, but someone wants to be unfavorable to you?"

Seeing the battle on the ship, Xuanzang was still calm and didn't know what he was thinking, but Li Chunfeng stepped forward and asked.

"Have you forgotten the sons of the family who provoked the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism? As soon as we get out of Chang'an, there are their spheres of influence everywhere, and we have to guard against it! Sun Xiangfu worried.

The biggest advantage of the family is that the protégés are all over the world, once united, the local power is not weaker than the imperial power, Li Shimin only knows the danger at sea, but he never thought that Sun Xiangfu is inland, even more dangerous than the sea, but he is still willing to take the risk, just because he is still a young man with ideals, and he wants to do something for this nation before the years wear away his perseverance.

The Northern Song Dynasty introduced Champa rice, which also perished, and the Ming Dynasty introduced potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts and other crops, or perished, but after all these crops were introduced, the ability of ordinary people of this nation to resist natural disasters was greatly strengthened, and Sun Xiangfu was able to do this for this nation, it was enough.

As for the man-made disasters that God can't control, he can't do anything about them, he only hopes that this nation will come into contact with a higher level of civilization as soon as possible, and get rid of this low-level interest of being swayed by other people's ambition and greed, which leads to the misery of life!

"The family is hateful, but I am not a vegetarian, and when I arrive in Luoyang, I will go to the banks of the canal, and if there is any wind and grass at that time, I will be told to wait by the same door."

Li Chunfeng is also the reserve candidate for the next generation of Taoism, and the disciples of Taoism will give him some face, now, Taoism is strong, there are Taoist temples all over the country, there are many believers, and they are from the Jianghu school, and it is still very easy to find out the news or something.

"In this way, there will be a long worker."

Sun Xiangfu had mixed feelings about Li Chunfeng, he was afraid that his godly reasoning would reveal his identity as a traverser, and he wanted to pass on some of the knowledge he still remembered to him, hoping that he could bring him some surprises.

"The poor monk thinks that those wicked people may not do it inland, but should concentrate on doing it at sea."

As soon as Xuanzang's words came out, Sun Xiangfu felt that it was very reasonable, those family soldiers of the gate lord force had been wiped out in the Chang'an Army, and they would definitely be afraid of Li Shimin, but there was no need to scruple when they acted on the sea, and there was no need to scruple about it, and it would be impossible to ask for help or escape, it was really the best time.

"So, in the master's opinion, how should we deal with it?" Sun Xiangfu had no doubt that Xuanzang was the smartest person on the ship now, and asked him.

"The sky is high and the sea is wide and the boat is free, so why should we deal with it?" Xuanzang said, and his eyes looked at the five big masts on the deck.

"That's right! With the benefit of the Happiness, who do I need to be afraid of at sea? ”

After Sun Xiangfu suddenly realized, his spirit suddenly became a lot easier, and he wanted the guards to take off their armor and rest, but Zhao Long disagreed, feeling that as long as he was on the ship, he should strictly manage all the people, Sun Xiangfu only knew at this time, why Xi Junmai would say that if he led the troops, he was not as good as Zhao Long.

Although Xiangfu is not full sail, but the speed is very fast, an hour can go out of thirty or forty miles, only one day, it went out more than two hundred miles, into the west of Henan River section, the water flow becomes very urgent, not only can not hang the sail, but also need many boatmen to go ashore to pull it through the swirl flow is relatively large position, fortunately in this period the upper reaches of the Yellow River soil erosion is not serious, the Yellow River is still mild, to the Yuan and Ming dynasties, this section of the west of Henan can only take the ferry.

In the afternoon of the next day, the Happiness turned into the Luohe River, and the buffalo pulled the aft blades and propellers, and sailed into the dock in Luoyang City before dusk.

"This boat is really a sharp weapon on the water, if it is in the past, from Chang'an to Luoyang, it will not take three or five days! Now, it's two days away. ”

In the past two days, Li Chunfeng has studied the exquisite design of the ship, and he and Xuanzang have traveled back and forth between Chang'an and Luoyang many times, especially Xuanzang, he is originally from Luoyang, and he can't help but sigh very much in this comparison.

"This is not the limit speed of this ship, wait until it reaches the straight Grand Canal, you see."

The five giant sails are all opened, and in the case of smooth wind, there is no full load of happiness, not to mention that it is as fast as a sword off the string, at least it is not worse than the speed of a galloping horse, and a horse can run twenty or thirty kilometers in an hour, and it is only two hours in an hour, at least fifty or sixty kilometers, which is more than twice as fast as the speed from Chang'an to Luoyang, and the ship does not need to rest like a horse at all.

How long is the entire Grand Canal? Luoyang Road Hangzhou, less than 1,800 kilometers, even if you only run for six hours a day, at most four or five days will be finished, besides, on the straight and wide canal, as long as the speed is not too fast, you can also sail at night, of course, Sun Xiangfu's itinerary is not the fastest speed to arrive in Hangzhou, he also has to check the industries along the coast, and inspect the business situation.

No, when he arrived in Luoyang, in addition to the sailors who stayed to watch the ship, Sun Xiangfu quickly led the guards ashore, and on the shore, Zhang Wenyu, a clerk of the Luoyang Branch, and his party received them at the dock.

After Hou Junji returned to Chang'an, Li Shimin did not send a new assassin or governor to Luoyang, so Luoyang was still under the jurisdiction of Hou Junji, the governor of Luoyang, and Hou Junji now has a close relationship with Sun Xiangfu, and in Luoyang, no one dares to touch him easily.

"Lord Sun, the mansion donated by Duke Lu has been sorted out, and Lord Eldest Sun has taken the workers to rebuild part of it into a workshop of the Food Supervision Division, and now it is almost built, just wait for the soybeans collected by the quality supervisor to be ready, and it can be put into production."

Changsun Chun was originally the supervisor of the first production brigade of the Food Supervision Division, and later Li Shimin directly added him the official position of deputy supervisor of the lower pastor, and sent him to take charge of the affairs of the Luoyang Branch of the Food Supervision Division.

"Well, I know, you take me to settle down in the house first, and in addition, prepare dozens of horses, and tomorrow morning, I will go out of the city."

The matter of the food supervision department, that is a business matter, it is taken care of by the eldest grandson Chun, Sun Xiangfu does not have to worry too much, the eldest grandson Chun does things for the harem, he is definitely more dedicated than Sun Xiangfu, he is here, just to see if the house given to him by Hou Junji is suitable for being converted into a restaurant.

In addition, whether the grange purchased by the major shareholders outside Luoyang City a few years ago has been set up with the model of Happy Village, after all, the person sent by Sun Xiangfu to manage this farm that is two or three times larger than Happy Village is just Wang Erniu, who was inconspicuous in Happy Village in the past.

It's a pity that Hou Junji's house to Sun Xiangfu is in a densely populated residential area, and it's good to organize the courtyard along the street to be a food supervisor workshop.

"Lord Sun, Lord Eldest Sun went to the surrounding counties to run sales channels, I'm afraid I may not be able to return in the next two days." In the workshop, another scribe from the Luoyang branch stepped forward to pay homage.

"Well, it doesn't matter, when he comes back, you tell him that if the surrounding county is remote and the carriage and horse cannot be delivered within two hours, you will directly divide a group of people to set up a workshop in the county, in addition, the bean dregs of the Luoyang workshop will also have people from the farm come to pull it, and you are responsible for keeping a good count."

Although there are 500,000 households in Luoyang, but not all of them are in Luoyang City, scattered in several surrounding counties, the permanent population in the city is about four or five hundred thousand, almost about one-third of Chang'an, yes, the scale of the workshop in the city is also much smaller than Chang'an, because once it enters the summer, the tofu is also easy to spoil, can not be prolific, but there are several counties with a population of more than 10,000 households around Luoyang, but the scale is much larger than the surrounding counties of Chang'an, directly open a workshop in the county, but it is more cost-effective than in Luoyang after making it and transporting it to sell.

"The humble duty must help the adults bring the words, and the other ······"

Seeing that the scribe wanted to speak and stopped, Sun Xiangfu looked at him and said, "If you have something to say, you can say it directly." ”

"The proprietors of many restaurants in Luoyang have a humble post to bring a message to the adults, if the adults intend to open a restaurant in Luoyang, they may be able to go to the Mingyue Building in the city tomorrow."

Sun Xiangfu's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he looked at the scribe for a while, knowing that there were not many people coming to Luoyang, could it be that there was something else on it? So, he nodded and said, "So, tomorrow at dinner, this official will go to the banquet." ”
