Chapter 140: Cooperation with Merriam-Webster

Due to the introduction of Champa rice and several crafts brought by Sun Xiangfu, Lingnan's economy may take a big leap, but only economically, and it will take a long time for this region to be subjugated to the king like the Han people.

After Wei Shuhuan and Li Gongyan were in good health, Feng Ang received them with more formal etiquette, and Sun Xiangfu had no interest in this kind of rehearsed ceremony, although he knew that this might be an event that would be recorded in history.

After the ceremony, the Yueguo Mansion held a banquet, and all the governor-level figures of the twelve states of Lingnan were gathered, of course, a large part of them were Feng An's sons and nephews, counting those who had just gone to the ground and would run, Feng Ang had a total of thirty sons, and there were even more grandchildren, but there were no adults yet.

Seeing this scene, Wei Shuhuan and Li Gongyan had a specific feeling about Feng An's power in Lingnan, and Sun Xiangfu, Li Chunfeng and Xuanzang were also invited to attend the banquet. The three of them naturally got together.

"The situation in the patient camp is okay these days!"

"Well, most of the patients in the second batch of drugs were able to recover from the camp, but the number of newly ill people has been sent in a steady stream, and the number of patients in the camp has continued unabated." Li Chunfeng nodded and said.

"I heard that the imperial court sent more than a dozen medical officers to the sick camp! How's it going? Sun Xiangfu continued to ask.

"Hehe, it's not good, after watching it for two days, those medical officers have almost learned to treat this potbelly disease, but they are wearing official uniforms, but the people don't dare to let them heal, and they haven't treated the patients themselves."

The backward Yiren are so stupid, they used to believe in witch doctors, the reason why they are willing to let Li Chunfeng and Xuanzang heal them, in addition to Feng An's strong order, is mainly because they are religious elements, in the eyes of these Yimin whose intelligence has not been fully opened, Taoist monks are another kind of messenger of the great god different from the witch god they believe in, especially when they healed the first batch of potbelly patients, the Yimin do not worship their medical skills, but feel that the god behind them is more powerful than the witch god.

Things are often so nonsense, the set of religious gods in this period, often more easily into the hearts of the people than the political imperial power, especially the people in the state of barbarianism, the Wa State is a country that has successfully consolidated the imperial power with the help of divine power, and, it seems that except for China, most countries have gone through a similar process from slavery to feudalism.

Therefore, even if the imperial court sent professional doctors, the Yimin would still feel that the medicine given to them by Li Chunfeng and Xuanzang was the most effective, and it was blessed by the power of the gods, and in the hearts of those Yimin, they had been elevated to the position of divine envoys.

"This is not a good situation, the Taoist and the master must gradually get out of the sick camp, and the only one who can bring grace to the people of Lingnan is His Majesty, only the imperial court, and the Taoist and the master can understand?" Sun Xiangfu looked at the two people with a deep meaning.

"Hehe, poor Dao these days just to help people see a doctor and catch medicine, I forgot that I am a Taoist, I heard that you have built a house in Baiyun Lake with golden silk nanmu, poor Dao will go to disturb tomorrow, you want to be a good life to entertain poor Dao!"

"It's time for the poor monk to set off for the west, I don't know if Lord Sun's boat can be lent to the poor monk."

The two obviously understood Sun Xiangfu's words and said one after another.

"It's easy to say, my farm is not small!"

The three of them chatted very lively, but today's protagonists are destined to be Wei Shuhuan and Li Gongyan, they are here with festivals, and Li Shimin did not let them stay in Lingnan, however, it is inevitable to inspect the states in Lingnan and feedback the specific folk customs and people's feelings to the emperor, so after the three rounds of wine, everyone discussed the route of the inspection with them, and Wei Shuhuan took the lead in proposing to go to Sun Xiangfu's experimental field to see, after the news of the eight stone valleys per mu was released, this has become a major event of the national dynasty.

"In this way, tomorrow, I will invite the two Qincha, Feng Gong, and Zhuzhou Assassin Shi to go to Baiyun Lake below."

Although Champa rice is still transported into Lingnan in a steady stream by sea, it is still far from being promoted and planted in the whole territory of Lingnan Province, after all, Lingnan Road in this period has a large territory of three or four provinces in later generations, and most places are barren mountains and mountains where cattle and horses are difficult to travel.

The first batch of rice seeds made by Sun Xiangfu was only planted in the vicinity of Guangzhou, almost 600,000 mu, and less than 100,000 mu of intensive cultivation was weighed, and there was no grain in other states at present.

"Not to mention anything else, the food in Baiyun Lake is a must, and the old man doesn't go to a meal every few days now, and he misses it very much."

After the construction of Sun Xiangfu's luxury house, the Baiyun Lake Peninsula also began to change to the model of a happy village, and the residents of the peninsula ate a big pot of rice under the guidance of Sun Xiangfu and the control of the guards.

Strict control of the source of diet, so that the people of Lingnan less epidemics, now, most of the peninsula has been paved with cement, the place is clean, there are fewer mosquitoes, the living environment is no worse than the city, Feng Ang has been to it twice, and he fell in love with that place, if it wasn't for being too busy recently, he estimated that he would go every day where to go to chat with Sun Xiangfu and discuss some things about governing Lingnan.

"Yes! I remember that when the Chongyang Festival last year, the old man was coveted by the temptation of the flower chicken, but it was a pity that the grade was too low and could not be given a banquet by His Majesty. After drinking too much wine and opening the clip, Li Gongyan took out the old stories of last year and preached.

"Hehe, it turns out that Lord Li was also present last year, but he asked the adults to see the jokes below, and tomorrow I will definitely make up for this regret for the adults."

Hearing Sun Xiangfu and Li Gongyan say this, Wei Shuhuan just smiled a little meaningfully, Concubine Wei had looked for him before he came to Lingnan, Sun Xiangfu and Yu Xiuer got married, but Concubine Wei pulled the thread, speaking of which, there is still some affection, if this kind of affection is not used, it is not like a person born in the Guanlong family.

If you want to gain a foothold in the harem, you must have money, especially the queen who picks the door like the eldest grandson, if the harem concubine's own private reserves are insufficient, she wants to buy some people's hearts and make some moves to please Li Shimin, so Concubine Wei is very greedy for Wangjiang Tower, but she understands very well that she must have no share in an industry like Wangjiang Tower, it can only belong to the main palace or the East Palace.

Women with the skill of being well-informed and memorizing are very smart, so Concubine Wei is also a smart person, she is very optimistic about Sun Xiangfu's ability, and has been paying attention to him, and she also agrees with Li Shimin's view of Sun Xiangfu.

Therefore, after Concubine Wei learned that Sun Xiangfu came to Lingnan, she guessed that he might get some money-making property here, so she summoned Wei Shuhuan, who had the best chance to come to Lingnan to preach and soothe, to have a relationship with him.

After being toasted by Feng An's more than a dozen adult sons in turn, Wei Shuxiang and Li Gongyan were both drunk.

"Zhengming came to Lingnan to do something about it."

Sun Xiangfu sat down in Uncle Wei's room, and saw him looking at him with a smile on his face.

Through this smiling face, Sun Xiangfu understood a lot of things, this is a person who wants to seek benefits for himself, and such a person often has some conditions that he can't refuse, Sun Xiangfu is very curious about what kind of conditions Wei Shuhui can bring to himself.

"This is natural, Master Wei has something to say directly, Concubine Wei's matchmaking grace, Xia Guan still remembers it." Sun Xiangfu said with a smile.

"Well, knowing the kindness of the retribution, it is the work of a gentleman, I might as well tell you, this time in Lingnan, Concubine Wei Niangniang personally talked to the official, she is suffering in the palace······!

Wei Shuhuan's acting skills are not good, at least in front of Sun Xiangfu, a semi-professional actor, he didn't act well how to cry poor, but the meaning is expressed, Concubine Wei is short of money, you have to help find a way to get an industry for Concubine Wei to earn pocket money.

Sun Xiangfu has never refused to make money, and in order to make money, he once pulled interest groups, and took the initiative to find lawyer Pei Dugu to plot with them, and Wangjianglou got up like this.

Therefore, he doesn't mind that his business is broader, and it is necessary to cooperate with more forces in addition to the Seven Sects and Five Surnames to expand his influence, after all, he has already set himself the goal of confronting the Seven Sects and Five Surnames.

The Guanlong family is a force that cannot be underestimated, the eldest grandson Wuji in the Gaozong period is because of the union of the Guanlong family group, and the seven sects and the five surnames are on a par, and now, one of the representatives of the Guanlong family, the Wei family, wants to cooperate with him, Sun Xiangfu is of course unwanted.

After thinking for a moment, Sun Xiangfu said, "Don't worry, my lord, this matter is easy to do!" ”

"Oh, what is the best plan for Masaaki, come quickly." Uncle Wei heard this, and the smell of wine in his body instantly dissipated thirty percent, if he could make a money-making industry for the Wei family, such as the Forestry Department and the Animal Husbandry Department, then his status in the Wei family would not be the same.

"This time in Lingnan, the adults are the official history, holding the festival, and holding the power of life and death of the people in Lingnan, there is a place that can be operated······"

Sun Xiangfu told Wei Shuhuan about Xi Junmai's capture of Shen Tuyong, the leader of Kan Ling's old department, in Hangzhou Bay, although Feng Ang saw Sun Xiangfu's face and gave these people the right to settle in Lingnan, but to really whitewash them, they still need a word from Li Shimin, Sun Xiangfu asked Wei Shuhuan to operate the matter of helping Shen Tuyong clear his identity, and the business he wants to talk about is to use the expertise of Shen Tuyong to create an industry.

This is the marine fish industry that Sun Xiangfu has been planning for a long time, and it was not until Shen Tuyong and other people who moved here settled down that he was ready to start promoting.

Hundreds of families led by Shen Tuyong have been running boats for generations and are proficient in the art of fishing, and Sun Xiangfu wants them to set up a sea fishing team to make salted fish from the caught sea fish and provide them to the sauce workshop in Yangzhou.

Don't underestimate this down-line industry, because it is related to salt, in the Tang Dynasty, salt and iron is a scarce thing to control, if Sun Xiangfu dedicates his own method of making sea salt, he doesn't know how many percent will be scraped off by Li Shimin, and even, even Li Shimin himself can't get benefits, because salt is controlled by the imperial court, and the control is delegated to those officials who are specifically in charge, and those who benefit are those officials, where do the officials come from? Seven sects and five surnames.

In order not to let this profiteering industry fall into the hands of several big families in disguise, Sun Xiangfu has always wanted to find a strong partner, Wei Shuhui is such a person, he himself is from the Guanlong family, and he is also the concubine's mother's family, or the official history of Lingnan Festival, with his help to operate, it is not difficult to play this side ball well.

After all, in the perception of people in this period, most people thought that marine fish were naturally salty, but they did not know that the reason why marine fish had a salty smell was because the seawater on their bodies was dried. Moreover, when the price of salty soybean paste is lower than the price of salt, I believe that most people will choose to eat this salted fish soybean paste.

Of course, to smuggle the salt pot, you have to carry it with a relatively hard shoulder like Wei Shuhuan, for this reason, Sun Xiangfu did not ask for any shares in this project, but only asked Wei Shuhuan to provide him with the output exclusively.
