In fact, Li Shimin not only mobilized the grain in the south, but also the grain produced by Shanyang, Dingxiang, Tai'an, Shangqi, and even the military tun of the capital of Anxi, he also mobilized a lot.

The price of sixty wen and one stone is simply too beautiful, he can earn more than twice as much as if he sold it to Persia, because Persia is the same as this period in history, and the Arab Empire has done it, and the cause is also related to the Tang Dynasty's loan to support the Persians, Abu Bakr is not only a businessman, as the first caliph in history, his political and strategic vision is good, he is afraid that the Persians, with the support of their neighbors, will come back to life, and then take revenge on the Arab Empire and regain the lost territory.

Therefore, don't look at him when he was very polite with Yi Si Qi when he was in Dingxiang, but after he returned, he immediately suggested that his country gather men and launched a large-scale attack on Persia, and fortunately, Yi Si Qi received 10 million stone grain support from the Tang Dynasty, so that his country at least improved the morale of the army, and resisted several rounds of attacks by the 300,000 coalition troops of the Arab Empire, and therefore, the Persians were more deferential to the Tang Dynasty.

Now, Datang is their lifesaver, once they lose Datang's assistance, they will basically fall into the same fate as in history, being wiped out by the Arab Empire.

At the beginning of February, Yi Si Qi personally went to Broken Leaf City and negotiated with the officials of the Ministry of Rites and Foreign Affairs Yamen about the purchase agreement of this year's grain and ordnance, so the price of two hundred wen and one stone, and the price of the freight was finalized, as for the ordnance, the Tang Dynasty could provide them with the standard swords they needed, but they only accepted the way of paying for them with young and strong laborers, you know, the smelting level of Persia was also equivalent to the level of the Tang Dynasty during the Wude period, and helped them make swords and weapons of similar quality. For Datang, whose process has improved several large levels, it is not too simple, almost only need to pour molten iron from the coking coal furnace into the mold, and after cooling, press it with a heavy-duty machine tool to sharpen the blade, and then it can be crossed.

But even so, Li Shimin's asking price is not low, 200,000 knives, guns and blades, 30,000 pairs of leather armor, 10,000 pairs of light iron armor, Li Shimin directly asked for 300,000 young people, and the labor time is three years.

These 300,000 young people entered the territory of the Anxi Dadu Hufu and cultivated for three years, and Datang could at least get tens of millions of acres of fertile land, and the value of the annual output at that time would be millions, and when the time came, whether they were willing to go back or not, it was a matter of two words.

Anyway, after Yi Si returned to China, as soon as the news was announced, the people in China who were willing to work in Datang flocked to the royal city where he was located, because, when they went to Datang, they could not only avoid the suffering of war, but also have enough to eat.

The Sassanid Dynasty of Persia is a dynasty that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and there are still three catties of nails in the rotten ship! There are at least 150,000 people in their country now, and 300,000 young people are nothing at all, so when the ice and snow in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate melted, these Persian young people between the ages of sixteen and twenty arrived in Broken Leaf City, accepted Sun Erli's Tuntian arrangement, and soon entered the state.

And the situation here, in June, after all the things were summarized on Li Shimin's side, Li Shimin finally felt that what Sun Xiangfu said before, using a non-war method to achieve the benefits of expansion.

That is, there is no need to die, and the construction of the local area is done well, the key is that those people who are saved by you have no hatred or hostility towards you at all, like these laborers from Persia, as well as the people who were taken in India, they are all grateful to the Tang Empire that gave them a bite to eat at the time of crisis, as long as the court does not do anything angry and resentful, they will definitely not rise up any rebellion.

Xuanzang arrived in the Kingdom of Vaanabi in July, and now, it should be said that it is the new Tama Road established by the Tang Dynasty, which includes a small part of the Indian Peninsula and the entire Bay of Bengal coast with a depth of more than 500 miles and a length of more than 3,000 miles.

After he went ashore, he became very busy, and after several years of studying and discerning the scriptures here, he accumulated a lot of fame, and many people believed in him and were willing to listen to him preach the scriptures, and he was a language genius, knowing almost all the languages of all countries in India, so after he joined, Liu Hongji's entire popular work was easy to do.

So, a new Buddhism by Xuanzang synthesized the Middle Earth, as well as the many schools of thought in the Western Regions, began to spread in this region, its main body, is still Buddhist philosophy, but added Sun Xiangfu told him about people-oriented, follow the way of natural cycle of careful thinking, minus almost all the things that Sun Xiangfu put forward that are bad habits, as well as Xuanzang's own things that are bad habits, this more humane religious thought, instantly impacted the original beliefs of the local people.

Not to mention, the effect is very good, the speed of spread is very fast, and it is constantly helping these local people to transition from fanatical religious superstition to rational religious beliefs.

In August, the ears of rice have yellowed, Sun Xiangfu in the county house, put down the prepared textbooks, and walked to the wharf in the city, Lingnan to India to send grain fleet back, but also brought back tens of thousands of young and strong laborers, with the amount of grain produced in Jiuyuan County, will directly obtain a quota of 10,000 young and strong, they will contribute three years of labor force to Jiuyuan County, but Jiuyuan County has to provide their food and accommodation.

According to the average monthly salary of Datang workers, a person has to ask for at least about 20 guan a year, 10,000 yuan, 200,000 guan a year, and 600,000 guan in three years.

"According to your requirements, they are all young men and women between the ages of twelve or thirteen and sixteen or seventeen, but they are like starving ghosts reincarnated, and after entering the cafeteria, they eat violently, and they don't pay attention to hygiene at all, they just grab them with their hands." Seeing Sun Xiangfu coming, Sun Dali took the lead in complaining to him.

Sun Xiangfu smiled and didn't say anything, the people of this nation, even after a thousand years, are used to eating with their hands, and when they come to Datang, they have to let them change their ways.

The so-called canteen, in fact, is the county to provide food for construction workers, now, Jiuyuan county more than a dozen high-rise buildings have begun to build, these houses, the future will be used to house those who go to the field to do technical support of the people's families, of course, some new households, but do not farm the people's families, can also apply for direct distribution of such houses, anyway, all the money for building houses, all are Jiuyuan Chamber of Commerce, all Jiuyuan County residents who do not have houses, have the right to apply for residence.

After Sun Xiangfu saw the state of the Indian laborers who were obviously a little overwhelmed, he decisively asked Sun Dali to order the food supply to be stopped.

"First arrange them to live in a well-erected shed, learn Chinese for a few days, and common sense of life, and then let them participate in labor at the beginning of the autumn harvest in a few days, the intensity is comparable to the daily work of the local people, and try not to arrange heavy work."

"It's only on par with the local people, so isn't that cheaper for them?" You must know that as the economy of Jiuyuan County becomes stronger, the labor intensity of the local people has dropped again and again, and the daily working time is less than six hours.

"Relax, you can give them more time to learn and adapt to our local life, they are only in their teens, the oldest is only sixteen or seventeen years old, very plastic, only if we accept them, they will become their own people, write to other counties, suggest that they do the same!"

"Then listen to you! In the future, will these people be assigned to individual families, or will they work collectively? ”

"Assigned to each family, the number of people is estimated to be insufficient, and there are communication barriers, easy to have problems, first carry out centralized management, to a certain extent, and then look at the situation! There are only 10,000 people on the left and right, and in the city, with the engineering team, the problem of food and shelter can be solved, and when they are assigned to work in various towns, each town is only a thousand people, so it is easy to arrange. ”

"Well, then I'll arrange for them to stay first."

"Cleaning and epidemic prevention are all paid attention to, everyone has to take a big bath, clean up, trim their hair, and dispose of all those stinky clothes."

"Got it······"

As Sun Dali walked, he shouted at the criminal officer to summon his subordinates and arrange for these people to take a bath and change their clothes.

Sun Xiangfu went to the construction site to check, these buildings, and those high-rise houses in Weinan are similar, there are relatively mature building technology, and complete sets of building materials, at most there is a year, can be completed, thousands of houses, enough for only more than 30,000 households in Jiuyuan County to settle the people, and then there is a demand, and then it will be built.

What he mainly looked at was a whole row of new-style houses built by the engineering team on the street, all of which were buildings, built with the homestead equivalent to the original four-room and one-room, and still retained auxiliary buildings such as backyard kitchens, livestock sheds, toilets, firewood rooms, etc., the main living room, the location of the main house, about 100 square meters of place was built into buildings, there are two floors, there are three floors, most of the first floor is four rooms plus a living room, the people can choose to build two floors, or three floors according to their own population, or financial resources, generally, build two floors, eight rooms, It is enough, if there are indeed a lot of children, considering that they will come back often in the future, you can build three floors.

According to the decoration of the model house, the cost of this building is not low, the exterior wall will be tiled, all the floors and walls inside to a certain height, are also tiled, the door, the door will have a plywood frame, the window, is a sliding fan, there is a screen window for mosquitoes, there is a paste window, there is a wooden window, according to the weather conditions, their own flexible loading and unloading, as for the more advanced glass window, now it is certainly not possible to promote to the whole people.

Due to the high tide in the south, there is no position for tiles on the wall, in addition to the lime, there will also be some moisture-proof cardboard that can be replaced, and the beds, tables and chairs, and coffee tables in the house are comparable to the design of the commonly used furniture in later generations, so to speak, very humane.

"How much does it cost to build a two-story building according to the original model house?" After Sun Xiangfu looked up and down, he said to the foreman in charge.

"Now each building materials factory has opened a branch in the local area, after the material technology is more and more mature, the cost has been very cheap, the whole set of furniture, the cost price, about 300 yuan, of which, nearly half, is the wages of the workers."

"What about three floors?"

"It's actually more cost-effective to build a three-story building, the salary is not much more, and with the furniture, you only need to add 80 yuan."

"After the model house is built, will any people come to ask for the price?"

"Yes! There are a lot, but they are waiting for the county government and the Jiuyuan Chamber of Commerce to agree on the housing subsidy policy. ”

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "As long as they have the will to live in such a house." ”
