The situation of the Turks has taken a turn for the worse, and how to return to the steppe alive has become their only goal now.

On September 25, Jieli sent Ashina Simo as an envoy to negotiate peace with Tang Jun, but Li Shimin didn't see him at all, but just asked Fang Xuanling to bring him a word.

"If Jieli can get out of the Yumen Pass alive, my Datang will not mind accepting him as a minister and conferring him the position of Khan."

It was very hard to talk about it, so Ashina Simo was shocked out of internal injuries, and when he returned, the sky was actually snowy.

"The cold winter has arrived, the Wei River is difficult to cross, Khan, now you can only go, do whatever it takes, as long as you can return to the grassland, everything still has a chance."

Ashina Simo's tearful suggestion was finally accepted, so Wei Chi Lao had something to do again, and since he joined Zhang Gongjin's sailors, Sun Xiangfu, the marching Sima of the school, was of little use to the army, so Li Shimin simply removed him.

"Send a military order to Zhicheng Festival of Yumen Pass, let him not kill too many people, and let Jieli return to the north!"

After Li Shimin endured the pain and made a holy decree, he returned to Chang'an City with the army.

Jieli can't die now, leaving him a life, can well contain the upcoming growth of Tuli, and also buy time for Datang to accumulate expeditionary strength, but although he can't die, his things can be grabbed, 150,000 troops, you have to leave at least 3570,000! Millions of cattle and sheep, you have to keep at least half of them!

Therefore, in the later war, Wei Chigong and Zhang Gongjin were both engaged in robbery, while Cheng Yanjin, who transferred troops from Songzhou to Yumen Pass to cut off Jieli's back road, was doing things like waiting for the rabbit.

After returning to Chang'an, Li Shimin was in a good mood, and even with it, he felt that the song of the prince Li Chengqian was a little more beautiful, so he rewarded the ministers, and in the winter season, Chang'an City began to blow a gust of eating and drinking.

Sun Xiangfu's fish goods can finally be sold at a high price, more than three catties of scaly fish, the price has risen to 30 wen a catty, the fish shops in the east and west cities, one day actually sold out 30,000 catties, looking at the numbers on the account, the eyes of the eldest grandson queen are smiling and invisible, and the decree is to Sun Xiangfu official to be promoted to two levels, in the future, everyone no longer needs to call him under the pastoral supervisor, just call the pastoral supervisor, this is a business with hundreds of times a day, basically no cost, but much higher than the net profit of the drunken immortal building.

The first thing Sun Xiangfu did when he returned to Chang'an was to receive his own mansion, which was given by the emperor, Qin Qiong personally operated it, and the specifications were comparable to the mansion of the Guogong Mansion.

There are dozens of maids and servants in the mansion, and all the people in charge are the old people of the Qin Mansion, Uncle De was directly sent by Qin Qiong to Sun Xiangfu as a housekeeper, as soon as it should be repaired, the cleaning work is also done under the auspices of Uncle De, and Sun Xiangfu can move in with his bag.

When arranging the room, Sun Xiangfu left a small courtyard for Xi Junmai, and in addition, he was also ready to recruit some practitioners, and when the time came, Xi Junmai would train him to become a guard in the mansion.

The account room in the house has the silver sent by the Fisheries Division, although only thirty percent belongs to Sun Xiangfu, but after the distribution of the subordinate should be Lu, there are still more than 1,000 yuan left this month, but now there are more people in his house, and the expenses are also large, Sun Xiangfu did not dare to take out all the money and spend it, and after bringing the gold leaves worth 20 yuan, he went out with Uncle De, and they were going to visit Yu Mansion today.

"Uncle De, am I not a big family now?"

"Well, yes, not yet!"

"What do you mean by 'not counting yet'?"

"The foundation is too thin, the lord is relatively poor in the noble circle, but the account room of the Qin Mansion, at least tens of thousands of guan can still be taken out, not to mention the ten thousand silks in the treasury, tens of thousands of stone grains, and some gold and silver utensils, just like this, can only barely be counted as a big family."

"Oh yes, I forgot that I was in the capital, there are so many powerful people here! I should go back to Happy Village and pretend to be forced. ”

Sun Xiangfu originally wanted to be proud, but now he knows the real gap between himself and those big families, with Qin Qiong's net worth, he may not be richer than the last second- or third-rate family in Chang'an, not to mention that he is a little minion who doesn't even have a fraction of Qin Qiong's property.

After recognizing the reality, Sun Xiangfu asked again, "Is the Yu family a big family?" ”

"Probably count! The Yu family has been an official for generations, and the family background should not be thinner than the Qin Mansion, but the official position of this generation is not obvious. Uncle De replied truthfully. But what he said is only now, the two fathers and sons of the Yu family in the back have been awarded the title of Yinqing Guanglu doctor.

"Then go to Yufu, what gift should I give so as not to be rude?" Sun Xiangfu continued to ask.

"The four treasures of the study, the classics of calligraphy and painting, the only love of the Yu family, and Chang'an all know." Uncle De replied without even thinking about it.

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu asked the coachman to drive the car to Dongshi first.

"Hey, there are white stacks for sale again, Uncle De, let the boss send all the people to the house, and when there are goods in the future, they will all be pulled to the house, and we will collect them according to the price."

"Uh, why do we need so many white stacks in our house?"

"It's useful, rest assured, what is spent here will be doubled next year."

Uncle De was surprised, but it was just a matter of dozens of dollars, he had been a poor person in the Qin Mansion for several years, so he didn't care about this little money, just take it!

But when they arrived at the store specializing in the four treasures of the study, both of them began to feel sorry for the money, the world is still the richest and most spent by the literati, Sun Xiangfu brought a gold leaf worth twenty yuan, at most you can buy a set of medium-grade four treasures of the study, the top one, the light wolf, one will cost ten times, and the inkstone is not capped, and there are hundreds of thousands.

"Uncle De, let's send calligraphy and paintings!"

Sun Xiangfu said this, but was despised by the shopkeeper, even pen, ink, paper and inkstone can't afford it, and wants to buy calligraphy and painting, you know, the literati in this period are unwilling to sell their own ink treasures, especially famous artists, so, famous calligraphy and painting, like later generations, often tens of millions of dollars, and often can't buy authentic works.

"Uncle De, let's write it ourselves!"

After looking at the prices of those calligraphy and paintings, Sun Xiangfu retreated, thinking that he was going to be a local tyrant, but it turned out that he was just a diao.

After buying a few pieces of good paper and borrowing the store's top-notch pen and ink directly, Sun Xiangfu closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then picked up the pen and wrote:

It is difficult to say goodbye when we meet, and the east wind is powerless.

The spring silkworm is exhausted when the dead silk is gone, and the wax torch turns into ash and tears begin to dry.

Xiaojing but the clouds and temples have changed, and the night chant should feel the cold moonlight.

There is no way to go to Pengshan, and the blue bird is diligent to visit.

After writing, Sun Xiangfu looked at it himself, it was not bad, he basically gave full play to his skills, and his level was almost comparable to the artists who wrote couplets on the street in later generations, but the novelty was his font, if this Song character was regarded as his unique font, then the meaning of this poem and this character would be great.

"Okay, don't write a second article for good words, just this one!"

Uncle De's cultural level is not high, he only feels that Sun Xiangfu is very comfortable to read, so he thanked the store, paid for the side shaft of this word, and got into the carriage with Sun Xiangfu after rolling it up, and went to Yufu.

The name stickers and gifts were offered, and soon, the middle door of the Yu Mansion was opened, and Sun Xiangfu was now only from the official rank under the sixth grade, and the next three levels from the fifth grade to Yu Chang! It's not worth opening the middle door of Yufu, it's just that his identity is the future uncle of Yufu, and this marriage is still mentioned by the emperor himself, which has to be treated ceremoniously.

"The little children and grandchildren enjoy the blessings, meet Lord Yu."

Sun Xiangfu gave Yu Chang a salute in a dignified manner, and Yu Chang helped him up before saying, "Sun Xiamu, there is no need to make this big salute, hurry up and go into the house to talk." ”

It is said that when Lao Taishan saw his son-in-law, his posture was naturally to be at one end, but Sun Xiangfu's gift specifications were too high, a poem that could be passed down to the world and a book of Mobao, this thing was a paper to wipe the butt when it was taken to the civilian home, but in the Yu family, that is a family heirloom, who called the only hobby of the Yu family father and son is calligraphy, at this time, Sun Xiangfu's masterpieces have been occupied by the old man Yu Shinan, and he is copying in the study.

Sun Xiangfu was introduced into the living room, and after a while, there were maids and servants serving wine and dishes, and Sun Xiangfu also happened to come and picked up the meal.

"The boy is a vulgar person in the mountains, loved by His Majesty, fortunate to be an official, the previous Chongyang ascending occasionally got the word dedicated to Your Majesty, was sung by Miss Yu, Your Majesty was overjoyed, gave me a mandarin duck white jade pendant, this time the Turkic buckle the edge, the boy was called out to fight, there is a slight merit, His Majesty rewarded the boy with a house, and a will to give marriage, the child's parents are dead, there are no elders, how to end this marriage, and please make the decision of the adult."

Today's dinner is definitely not the theme, Li Shimin has said that when Sun Xiangfu returns to Chang'an, he will be married, naturally there is no joke in the king, in the morning, the two families have received the holy decree, a match made in heaven, and the marriage will be completed on a certain day.

Moreover, generally women who are given marriage by the holy decree will be given a decree, and after Yu Xiuer gets married, she is a sixth-grade edict, which is not lower than Sun Xiangfu's grade at all, and it seems that she will be promoted in the future, clearly wanting Sun Xiangfu to be a strict wife.

"If you only have some germinal talents, or just a little military exploits, how can you deserve Your Majesty's love, don't forget that Qu Yuan plow."

Yu Chang saw that Sun Xiangfu had a humble attitude, but he felt closer, and he no longer called Sun Xiangfu's official position, and directly used your words.

Yu Chang said this, Sun Xiangfu only remembered this stubble, now the Turks are defeated, Li Shimin has proved his talent to the whole world, his prestige is rising, there is no need to hide, taking advantage of the cold weather, the people and craftsmen have nothing to do, so he ordered the Ministry of Industry to also build a Quyuan plow, Yu Chang is a member of the Ministry of Labor, naturally knows the origin of the Quyuan plow, and it will bring benefits to the court and the people of the world.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the cultivation ability of the people was relatively low, and it can be known that in the entire planting system, farming is the first link, and the most physically demanding link, which is the first major factor restricting the development of agriculture in Datang.

This merit is so great that it can be knighted, but Sun Xiangfu is Li Shimin's retainer, according to the rule, this glory belongs to the royal family, and if he is knighted again, Sun Xiangfu will become a courtier, Li Shimin does not want him to become a courtier, if he is not sealed, others can't say anything, just like the house slave of a big family, if he doesn't let go, what others say doesn't count, the head of the family doesn't allow it, just don't allow it.
