Chapter 611: Life in the Wild Grass People

Li Shimin was very happy after listening to Li Chengqian's complete set of plans for Tubo in the imperial study, for this plateau country where it is difficult for the army to go up, with this kind of disposal method, it is basically no better, so the printing house in Weinan began to get busy, 100,000 sets of four books and five classics, will soon be handed over to the hands of the Zan Xiruo brothers, and Li Shimin also began to select a group of scholars in the Guozijian and let them follow the Zan Xiruo brothers to Tubo.

Useless is a scholar, this kind of nerd who can only read, there are also times when they are useful, there will be many, capable, Li Shimin is not willing to send, after dozens of nerds were selected, Li Shimin waved his pen and directly sealed the official title of Ru Linlang of Zhengjipin, and then if they made achievements in Tubo, there was also a seal, and they didn't even need the imperial examination and internship, they directly started to be officials, which made many scholars in the Chang'an Shilin circle shout, nerds will also have spring.

In late January, when Sun Xiangfu began to be busy with spring ploughing, the Zanxiruo brothers led hundreds of carts of books and Li Shimin's edict to canonize Songtsen Gampo as Tubo Zanpu, and set off to return to Tubo.

For them, this diplomacy is very successful, and for Datang, it is even more successful.

The Ministry of Commerce's Shangshu Wushi Tong convened a meeting of many merchants in Shuzhong and Guanzhong, and the purpose of this was, of course, to implement the results of Li Chengqian's negotiations.

The tributary agreement he mentioned seemed to allow the Tubo people to take advantage, but in fact, it set a huge profit price line for all the merchants of the Tang Dynasty.

What is the price of one camel of medicinal herbs for two camels of grain, or cloth?

Not to mention that if these medicinal materials are made into Chinese patent medicine pills, a small one can be sold for dozens of hundreds of texts, or even a few dollars, and the price of these pharmaceutical raw materials alone is more than ten times the price of grain! The grain of the Tang Dynasty is now really worthless, and the milled white rice is only sold for 120 wen for one stone in Chang'an, and in the grain producing areas of Jiangnan and Lingnan for three seasons a year, the rice is only sold for five or six yuan, and one stone is only sold for 50 or 60 wen.

The price of rare metal ores, in a sense, is even higher than gold, because now the outside is constantly flowing gold into Datang, Datang has no shortage of gold, and what can really help Datang manufacture high-end equipment and promote industrial progress is a smaller quantity of rare metals that are more difficult to mine and smelt.

For example, the gears of a hydro ship, if you want to make a propeller that can push more force, you need tougher metal to build it to prolong its service life and stability, and the same is true for metal clocks, which requires rare metals to make tougher alloys.

And with grain and cloth, so that Datang now produces a surplus of cheap things, or in other words, can be produced in an infinite cycle, to exchange similar goods with Tubo, it is simply a big profit.

Wu Shi Tong convened a meeting of these merchants, first of all, to unify the price, and then, after ensuring that they had a certain profit margin, let them supply medicinal materials to Shanyang Pharmaceutical Factory at a low price, so that all the people of Datang could buy medicines at cheaper prices. Because Sun Xiangfu's original intention of opening a pharmaceutical factory, he did not intend to use it to make a profit, the lower the price of the raw materials obtained by the pharmaceutical factory, the lower their selling price to the people, and some of the profits from foreign exports will also be used to supply Shanyang Medical College, research on medicines, and medical subsidies for some people in difficulty.

As for Du Zhenglun, who is now transferred to the head of the household department, he is presiding over the construction of the new countryside to Hedong Road, Hebei Province began to pave, because the new rural construction of Henan Province has been basically rolled out, and the Shannan Road further south is presided over by the eldest grandson Wuji, he will be the entire jurisdiction, nearly a quarter of the place, are divided into more advanced than the new rural construction of the field construction area, although it will not be completed so quickly, but the current population of Shannan Road is not so much, it does not have the ability to fill all the areas suitable for development into fields, It is good to build one county after another, move over one county after another, and fill it slowly.

For these political things, Sun Xiangfu doesn't have to worry about it, he can only manage the things in the fields now, rural life, the overall rhythm is slow, and a large number of people will still run to the No. 1 field every day to listen to Sun Xiangfu talk about how to grow rice, but this does not affect the two newlywed Yan'er women looking at their handsome husbands in a daze.

"Red sleeves, do you think that the appearance of the husband when he is lecturing to the people is the most charming." In the courtyard, Li Xiangdie, who was taking care of the vegetables that she was going to cook at night, looked at Sun Xiangfu, who was giving a lecture to the people on the ridge not far away.

"Yes, the husband is the most charming when he writes poetry!" Yao Hongsleeve, who was making a kite out of paste, disagreed.

"Really? What's new in him? Li Xiangdie said, and looked at the colored paper glued to the bamboo piece by Yao Hongsleeve, and saw four lines of short sentences written on the colored paper.

"The late days are beautiful, the spring breeze is fragrant with flowers and plants, the mud melts and flies swallows, and the sand is warm and sleeps mandarin ducks."

After a while, the colored paper that was glued on the bamboo piece was cut into a swallow shape by Yao Hongsleeve, and said with a smile, "Mrs. said, my husband's poetry is unparalleled in the world, but I rarely compose poems, and I also found an excuse to make toys for the two little guys and guide them to read enlightenment poems, so I let my husband make two poems, which are really good." ”

"Yes, it's really well written, especially this sentence 'Sha Nuan sleeps mandarin ducks', I heard that Mrs. said that husband likes to let Hongmei and Chun Tao sleep together, so the two of them have about the same time every time they get pregnant, otherwise, let's ······ together tonight"

Hearing this, Yao Hongsleeve's face turned red, nodded Li Xiangdie's forehead and scolded with a smile, "You, you just can't change the bad problems brought from Qinglou, such a good poem, you think it is crooked." ”

"Hehe, you don't know this, men, there is no one who doesn't like women, our duty as concubines is to satisfy my husband's hobby in this regard, I didn't see how much my husband spent the night in my room these days, this habit is brought by their men's bones, and the husband is hinting at us! Let me see the other one. ”

Li Xiangdie didn't care about Yao Hongsleeve's laughter and scolding, after a few times of having sex with her, she and Sun Xiangfu's bed love, but it became more and more intense, she enjoyed Sun Xiangfu's infatuation with her body very much, and pulled another piece of colored paper that Yao Hongsleeve wrote verses on, and after reading it, she immediately laughed.

I saw that the colored paper read, "The spring is silent and cherishes the trickle, the shade of the tree shines on the water and loves the sunshine, the little lotus shows its sharp corners, and there are dragonflies standing on its head." ”

"What are you laughing at?" Yao Hongsleeve snatched the colored paper in Li Xiangdie's hand and said shyly, she knew that Li Xiangdie must have thought about this poem crookedly.

"This little lotus is showing sharp corners, it's definitely you, hahahaha······" Li Xiangdie laughed loudly, and at the same time supported the two huge balls on his chest with both hands, and then looked at the thin Yao Hongsleeve's slightly bulging chest, and suddenly, Yao Hongsleeve's face was flushed.

"I'll strangle you big-breasted prodigal woman······"

The two concubines laughed and played in the courtyard into a mess, Sun Xiangfu was in a good mood after seeing it, Yu Xiu'er was pregnant, Hongmei and Chuntao had just come out of confinement, and they all stayed at home in the county to take care of a group of little guys.

"The fish in the spring have fish roe in their stomachs, let's go to the pond to catch some, and I will personally make you a dry pot of fish roe to add to the meal in the evening."

"Okay, I'm going to get my fishing rod." Li Xiangdie twisted her waist and ran towards the house, after becoming Sun Xiangfu's woman, her whole person became happy, much more lively than before, at the age of twenty-five or sixteen, she looked more and more like a teenage girl.

After a while, Yao Hongsleeve also put away the kite, held a five-string pipa, and went out of the courtyard gate, and behind, Li Xiangdie, who was holding a fishing rod and a fish basket, chased out, and soon, they all got on the canopy boat supported by Sun Xiangfu himself.

"Brother, you take the boat, row westward, eighteen bends of the waterway to my home."

"Brother, you are in the bow of the boat, singing fishing songs! Hide the boat there, under the stone bridge······"

There are two singing people by his side, Sun Xiangfu can enjoy the wonderful singing at any time, this kind of day, the beauty of him even does not want to do the immortals, but also greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the people around him to learn from him, now, the people in Jiuyuan County, all like to use singing and dancing to express their happy mood, even in the town after school home baby, walking on the road, will also gather in groups to sing children's songs, life is very harmonious.

Such a harmonious and beautiful picture will be written down by the guards from time to time and transmitted to Chang'an, and it will also be transmitted to Chang'an, as well as some of the usual performances of the fourteen princes.

Now they rarely ask Sun Xiangfu to criticize them, the environment will change people, time, and will make them slowly become mature, think about the year or so that Sun Xiangfu has been here, looking at the great changes in the local people, they have gradually understood something, it may take a long time for them to understand the principle of this change, at that time, even if they are not a virtuous king, at least they will not be a fool of the country and the people.

The fish in the pond are very easy to catch, because there are too many, the most direct manifestation of the ecological environment is too good, with a little advanced fishing tools, the fish caught in Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River are too many to eat, the fish pond in the No. 1 courtyard has not been cleared for more than three years, and the fish in it are about to grow into fine.

Therefore, Sun Xiangfu had a very rich dinner today, and the eldest grandson Wuji, who came over to discuss things with him, just in time.

"Your Majesty, I'm going to come to Shannan Road in a month to have a look."

"Really? A grass farmer like me doesn't need to receive him! ”

"This is not necessary, but you have to be mentally prepared, don't say that Feng Ang sent troops to attack the Nabi Kingdom, it has nothing to do with you."

"This, it really doesn't matter, when he forwarded Prince Vaanaby's distress letter to me, his troops had already been out to sea for several days, but Zhao Long, who set off from the Weinan shipyard, I gave him some tasks."

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Sun Xiangfu meaningfully, and sighed, "Zhengming! You say that you are a grass farmer in the wild, but you can dictate important military and political affairs of the country, what do you think of Your Majesty? ”

Sun Xiangfu grabbed his hair, and thought about it, indeed, in the past few months of dismissal and dismissal, although he looked like he was farming in Jiuyuan County, he seemed to have expressed some of his opinions on many major events in the imperial court, and then, these opinions were finally implemented, which will indeed make Li Shimin have a different feeling about him, is it a big Tang Dynasty, has it reached the point where it can't run well without himself? A Sun Xiangfu in the opposition has so much energy, what if he is in the court?
