Sun Xiangfu has a bit of a sense of indistinguishability between the family and the country for Shanyang, and even the management of the entire Anbei Prefecture, however, Li Shimin likes his management method very much, if everyone can treat the country as the country and the country as the family, then the entire Tang Dynasty will be easy to manage, but human nature is not like this, not everyone has an open-minded heart like Sun Xiangfu, usually, when they regard their home as the country, they like to regard the country as their own home, not everyone's home.

Therefore, only Sun Xiangfu can manage the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate so freely, if it is someone else, after a long time, there will definitely be dissent, and the Tang Dynasty has turned from prosperity to decline, just because the power of the magistrate is not well controlled.

These are all things that Li Shimin and the ministers who make policies in the center need to worry about, and today, he no longer needs to deliberately make any gestures to others in order to protect Sun Xiangfu, Sun Xiangfu has proved to him that he can protect himself, and in front of the bloody mouth of those predators of the family, he is playing well. And what Sun Xiangfu is currently worried about is Shanyang's eating, drinking and merrymaking.

Don't take the 'eat, drink and play' industry as Sun Xiangfu's way to make money, if you want to make money, Sun Xiangfu only needs to keep his planting technology secret, buy land and farm with peace of mind, and he can earn money that he will never spend.

'Eat, drink and be merry', looking deeper, is also a political issue.

Sun Xiangfu wants to promote entertainment projects in Shanyang in order to corrupt the surrounding strong neighbors.

"The head of the family, there are as many as 100 restaurants and restaurants operated by our own and major families in Shanyang City, all levels of consumption, Guanzhong, Luoyang, Huainan, Shuzhong, and even Lingnan cuisines, in addition, there are also the special flavors of our northland. The merchants who keep the merchants who come and go from the south to the north can be satisfied in eating this piece. ”

"Well, in terms of food and drink, it is expected that the technical support of several major branches of Jianglou, it is not difficult for us to achieve the top, the next research and development direction is to develop more food that is easy to preserve and easy to transport, just like salted fish and bean paste, it can be stored for about a year, and it will definitely sell well in Shanyang, because the tribes on the grassland need to eat food with salt content, or use it for seasoning. During this time, I have an understanding of the living habits of various parts of the grassland, he is not rich enough to eat, it should be said that it is too rare, we have dozens of kinds of fruits, on the grassland, but it is difficult to see, they are also in great demand for this kind of food······"

Sun Xiangfu asked his subordinates to work eating, naturally hoping that the merchants in the past, or neighbors, would be able to eat no longer and want to go around. What he is best at is farming, if the things he grows, if they are not needed, then his value will become low, and the development of the output end of agricultural products is very important in his opinion, otherwise, in the future, the price of food in Datang will fall off a cliff every year, and the grain will hurt the farmers, which will have an impact on what Sun Xiangfu wants to do to comprehensively improve the quality of life of the people of Datang.

However, in the case of less people and more land, and the output is increased, the grain is bound to be too much to eat, so it is necessary to change to other cash crops, and fruits are also high-yield cash crops.

Of course, the output is high, the price of any crop will fall, the price of spices can be predicted to fall off a cliff this year, Wang Xu's spice field will begin to harvest immediately, for this reason, Wang Rui, the head of the Wang family, has come to Shanyang City, here, there is Wang Xu built a mansion for himself, and the super large storage warehouse has been built. Speaking of which, the reason why Shanyang City was able to be built to this extent in half a year was that in addition to the 15,000 households in Shuozhou and the 35,000 households moved by Li Shimin, the 20,000 households moved by Wang Xu also played a great role.

Why did Sun Xiangfu set a limit of 20 acres of land for each young man at the beginning, but it was not because cumin was really so difficult to take care of, in fact, as long as there was no problem in the early stage of planting, there was no sudden change in natural disasters, and the growth of crops was very strong.

The reason for setting this restriction on him is that Sun Xiangfu wants the people he brought over to have more time to complete the infrastructure construction, the fortress where they live has already been built last winter, and after planting the spice fields in the spring, of course Wang Xu's subordinates will not let them all be idle, especially when all the construction sites in Shanyang City are recruiting, and labor is money.

Therefore, Shanyang City can complete nearly half of the regional infrastructure construction in more than half a year, which is the result of the joint efforts of more than 70,000 households and more than 100,000 young people.

Spices are very important to the nomadic people who mainly eat meat, but the living standards of these tribes outside the Guanwai who live by grazing cannot even catch up with the people of the Tang Dynasty. Except for a small part of it that can be exported, most of it needs to be digested by the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, Wang Xu had a plan to reduce the price early on, as for what kind of price the market could accept him, Sun Xiangfu didn't think about it, he was only responsible for collecting taxes and rents from the few shops that Wang Xu opened in Shanyang City that specialized in selling spices.

Large-scale agricultural planting, must be planned, the place of Anbei Protectorate is large enough, but there are not many people who need to be fed, all of them add up to less than 300,000 people, and the most vibrant place for him is that there is no idler here, and the children in Shanyang City can easily send messages by running errands, peddling hot tea on the construction site, eating, and earning some pocket money, not to mention adults.

In the future, it is ironclad that this place will become rich, and the only thing that can affect it to become rich is war, so Sun Xiangfu is to reduce the hidden danger of war here by 'eating, drinking and having fun'.

Eating well will make a person unconsciously want to stay in one place, and there is some truth in the saying 'to capture a man's heart, you must first grab his stomach'.

As for drinking, it's even more remarkable.

The weather in the north is cold, spirits are a good thing for anyone, of course, this is just one of the drinks, the process of roasting tea, the food research team of Wangjianglou has long been researched after Sun Xiangfu put forward a simple idea, if the thing that makes tea is milk, then, the grassland people have almost no resistance to it.

Dongzhu and the people she brought over are examples, after entering the Sun Mansion, they can't wait to drink this drink to their heart's content, because Shanyang has millions of acres of flower fields, rich in honey, Sun Mansion as the home of the largest owner of Shanyang, the family has a lot of honey, this kind of hot milk tea with honey, even in later generations, is also a very popular thing for young people, not to mention now, since it flowed out of Sun Mansion, the foreign merchants who entered Shanyang basically can't resist its temptation.

Spirits and tea, in addition to salt, iron and grain, nomadic rigid demand for commodities, these things are good and yang, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift! When the people on the grassland got used to drinking these things, they could no longer do without Shanyang.

The best way to corrupt a person is to play.

In addition to the flower buildings along the banks of the Sanggan River, Shanyang City has many interesting places, such as the racecourse that is absolutely suitable for nomads, where the first round of large-scale horse racing will be held after the arrival of Hu merchants in the Western Regions, and it is said that even Wang Xu himself has to participate in it.

The racecourse accepts any rider to participate in the race, and there are big rewards for the winning riders in each round, which is not a big deal, the point is that the racecourse also sells something called a lottery ticket.

Speaking of this lottery, that's amazing, there are a variety of ways to play, if you are according to the number of the horse, guessed more than two championships in a row, then your lottery ticket is considered to win, such as a lottery ticket two penny, even two games are the horse you bought won the championship, then it can go to the counter to exchange for four penny, even three games, the prize will be doubled to eight penny, and so on, a lottery ticket, you can fill in the championship order of twenty games, according to the arithmetic very good people said, twenty games all bought in the case, you can get millions of money.

That's not all, if you can buy the second place in the twenty games together, this lottery ticket can go to the counter to withdraw tens of millions of money, when it is really a million family wealth immediately, and the top three of the twenty lottery tickets are all bought, the amount of the bonus, will be doubled again, to 100,000.

Don't think that you can easily make money by buying this lottery ticket, because as long as you don't buy the first three in the first game, the whole lottery ticket will be scrapped, and you have to buy the second game again, and each horse race, the participants and the horse, are random, horses, and not human-like animals, is uncontrollable, although people like Sun Xiangfu can control a certain ranking order, but are not absolute.

In later generations, the old horses that often race, as soon as they fall down the slaughter, the horses that have never won the ranking, due to the shouts of the audience, frightened, regardless of the rider's control, desperate running, upset to win the championship There are also, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents in 20 games! Besides, the horse farm was opened by Sun Xiangfu, and he had nothing to do to control after eating, but in the era when there is no computer to count the purchase data, how can you control it? You don't know what order those horses run and you can make money.

Therefore, this is a real entertainment gambling project, in addition to the betting money, between riders and riders, or off-site personnel, you can also privately agree to bet on a single event, which is beyond Sun Xiangfu's control.

His purpose in making this thing is to gather the good horses and good riders of the grassland to Shanyang, and this activity will naturally attract nomads to watch the excitement.

Similar projects, as Sun Xiangfu has more free time, the more he will develop, all of which belong to the category of play. As for the fun, that's a lot.

Theaters that specialize in selling seat tickets often hold plays, and in addition to that, there are also some musical instrument concerts.

In Shanyang City, there are also teahouses that specialize in selling all kinds of tea, where, there will be storytellers, specializing in telling stories, to attract tea customers, and even some restaurants will have them, Sun Xiangfu has intimate bilingual services, these people are Yu Xiu'er in the past half a year in the tenants of the food town to pick some people who can speak well, the purpose, in addition to making everyone happy, is also to promote the Central Plains culture.

For example, the ten ancient myths and stories, once it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it will make these simple-minded people on the grassland think that they and the Han people are also of the same origin, so as to produce a sense of identity.

Of course, this is the simplest story, as time goes by, Sun Xiangfu and his family will write more stories to tell everyone, so that everyone knows that loyal to the monarch and patriotism, the unification of the world, what a better life people will live, and when they listen more, their hearts will be more and more yearning.

The reason why Li Shimin was able to integrate and absorb the cultures of so many nationalities and create a prosperous era is because he really has the mind to tolerate the world, as long as the political direction of this tolerance and absorption does not change, the Tang Dynasty will never decline, what Sun Xiangfu has to do is to help Li Shimin go more smoothly on this road of inclusion and absorption, when all nationalities are absorbed, the world, at the spiritual level, will naturally be unified.

Of course, how to prevent his descendants from having a bag in their heads and undermining this political direction, and how to prevent the Han people from being complacent and discriminating against other ethnic groups after they became developed and strong, this needs to be solved from the level of spiritual education, and it is not something that one or two generations can do.

It is necessary to realize the problem as soon as possible, fight for the problem, and formulate national policies, and these can only be discussed with Li Shimin after Sun Xiangfu has achieved a phased victory.

For the time being, it is Sun Xiangfu's top priority to sell the land outside the customs, guide everyone to develop and cultivate, and develop Shanyang into an economic and trade center in the north.
