Seonyang City is a block system, there is no curfew at all, and every day after dark, it is the busiest time for Seonyang, and people who have finished a day's work will not go to bed immediately after eating at home, because the streets here are lit up by the lights of each house, and there are many activities.

At this time of the day, the teahouse with storytellers is the favorite place for people to go, only need a penny, you can buy a cup of hot water, you can buy tea with tea or better milk tea, everyone is crowded in a big house, warm and coaxing, listen to the story of the last hour, very pleasant, not only the Han people from Guanzhong, most of the Hu people now have this habit, who told them to have a salary every day, and there is more money on hand!

Of course, this is only at the level of ordinary people, more children of the powerful family like to go to a sauna, do a full body massage, and then go to the flower buildings built on both sides of the Sanggan River to find the little lady to be happy.

"Selling toffee, selling toffee, the newly developed products of the Anbei Duhufu Workshop are sweet and chewy, delicious and replenishing······"

Sun Xiangfu gave an order, in less than half an hour, a number of stalls in the city received this kind of fresh goods, Shanyang planted many flower fields, rich in honey, how to improve the added value of these products, naturally Sun Xiangfu's team research direction, the production of toffee is the simplest, in fact, it has been studied early on, but because the milk source is not rich, there has been no large number of listings, but the research on toffee has not stopped.

Nowadays, these milk candy sold on the market does not know how many generations of products have been made by food research workshops, there is not only a little milk fragrance in the sugar, but also some floral fragrance, as long as you chew one, most of the ordinary people who usually just use their fingers or branches to clean their teeth will suddenly have a fragrant tongue, which is really wonderful.

In fact, Happy Village has already produced pig hair toothbrushes, but it is only for research and development, and no workshop has been opened for mass production, so it is only spread among a small number of people who have intersections with Sun Xiangfu, and the use of toothbrushes requires good fine salt to brush their teeth, and the people can't afford to use it at all, so it can't be promoted on a large scale for the time being.

In addition, there are a lot of chickens and ducks produced in Happy Village, and Sun Xiangfu has also asked Nie Sanniang to find a way to make a lighter and warmer down jacket, I believe that it will not be long before the down jacket will be available, these are all later words.

Soon, the vendors' shouting attracted some customers, and then, the news that Sun Xiangfu deliberately released spread to the ears of the major families through these small traders raised in the house.

"Sun Zhengming is really good, he sold out the first-class land at a high price, and immediately tempted him to raise the price of the second-class land." After Wang Rui put a piece of toffee in his mouth and tasted it, what he thought in his mind was not to praise the deliciousness, but to Wang Xu, who was also chewing toffee in the hall.

"So what, just like this spice field, he has to find someone to cooperate, and my Wang family, as long as I cooperate with him, I will earn benefits, I wish he had more skills! In this way, we will make more money, and at a certain point, we will not have to look at the faces of the other companies at all. Wang Xu said disapprerovitically.

Hearing this, Wang Rui was a little worried and said, "That is what I said, but if the other families are united, my Wang family is afraid that they will have to pay a lot of price." After all, it is not a simple business aspect for me to wait for a few companies to fight. There has been an urgent letter from Chang'an, and the officials of several families have begun to jointly attack our Wang clan, but fortunately, the emperor has operated from it, not only has my Wang clan not been damaged, but also pulled down a lot of people from several of their families in important positions. ”

"Does the emperor want to use the hands of our Wang family to suppress the others?" Although Wang Xu is young, he is not a fool, and when he heard this, he looked at Wang Ruidao with a serious face.

The struggle for power is the most headache for the family, money, is only one of the foundations of their development and growth, what they ultimately want to obtain, or power, in this feudal era, no power, is no social status, ordinary businessmen, no matter how rich you are, it is in vain, people will kill you between their hands.

Wang Rui nodded and said, "Well, he wants to provoke several of us to fight among ourselves and take the opportunity to reverse the pattern of the court." ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu patted the handle of the Taishi chair and stood up and said, "Father, this is an opportunity for our Wang family to become the first in the world!" ”

"Hehe, my father only sees danger, how do you see the opportunity, and tell me about it." When Wang Rui heard this, the deliberately pretended melancholy on his face disappeared, and he looked at Wang Xu with some expectation.

"It's right that the emperor wants to take real power, but he didn't think that to govern the country, you still have to rely on us scholars from the family, what if Sun Zhengming is capable? Shuozhou, the officials of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, are not all the people of our Wang family, the child thinks, since the emperor has such a mind, we should be bold and assured to fight, take the opportunity to strengthen ourselves, it is best to suppress all the other families, so that the emperor has no choice.

Of course, even if it is impossible to completely crush the others, so what? We just sought some benefits within the rules formulated by the emperor, and did not violate the laws set by the imperial court, even if in the end because of the struggle, the emperor has all the real power, within a generation or two, these powers will still return to our hands, because we have enough money and heritage to cultivate enough talents, and the new emperor still has to rely on the talents in our hands to govern the country. ”

Hearing this, Wang Rui showed a smile of relief on his face and said, "Hehe, my son's vision is getting more and more long-term, and it is precisely because he thought of this that his father dared to ignore several alliances in the general trend in the past, and chose to fight for interests in this incident, but this kind of struggle extends to the court, but it is what my father does not want to see, a pure agricultural and commercial matter, involving politics, will become complicated."

However, my Wang family does not need to be afraid of the battle in the court, because the emperor's goal is to attack all the families, so he will not allow our Wang family to lose.

The current trend is that the military in the hands of the emperor is strong, and he wants more power, so why do we have to unite with several other families to fight the emperor? Obey him for the time being, and make a fortune in a muffled voice is the best way······"

Wang Rui told Wang Xu a lot of his own considerations, and instilled the essence of the family's way of life to Wang Xu, in the past thousand years, not all of them were war-torn years, during which there were many masters of Zhongxing, in that period, how to deal with the relationship between the family and the emperor is also a technical job, as the patriarch of a big family, he always thinks about how to continue the glory and wealth of the clan, in this regard, Wang Lin and Wang Xu, better than Wang Hao's guy with unique thoughts, so, Wang Xu said in front of Sun Xiangfu before that when it comes to currying favor with Wang Rui, Wang Hao is not as good as him and Wang Lin.

After the news of the dairy project spread, there were many people in Shanyang City who discussed this matter, such as the Zhaojun Li family, which had less land, and several other companies, all of which had a relatively large amount of cash on hand.

Small and medium-sized families, because their serfs were sold to seven families with five surnames, plus they had brought a lot of money, so they now have a huge amount of cash in their hands, and this dairy development project is destined to employ a lot of Turkic people to produce, and the number of serfs is not high, which makes them see an opportunity.

Under Sun Xiangfu's assignment, Wei Shuhuan contacted the Guanlong family, the small and medium-sized families of the Shandong department, and they all went to visit the inn where Wei Zheng stayed, and the families in Yangzhou, Shuzhong, and Luoyang also gathered together because of this news, and everyone was eating toffee while discussing how to make a profit on this project.

It is precisely because of Jieli's defeat in Guanzhong that they gradually broke away from the actual control of the Turks, and the Xue Yantuo tribe that has grown stronger in the north has not yet established a khanate at this time, so they are now a relatively independent nomadic tribe, and their territory is almost the area outside the pass in Gansu in later generations, extending to the west to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and a large part of the land divided by Sun Xiangfu is adjacent. At present, in addition to the Xue Yantuo tribe in Mobei, the tribe with the largest population on the grassland knows how to graze and produce milk.

The head of the Hui tribe, who had eaten the fragrant milk candy with the fragrance of flowers, was very obsessed with this kind of food, and he knew that the food that the grassland nobles like himself could not resist, and others could not resist it, and if he could cooperate with the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, he would definitely be able to earn a lot of benefits.

It's a pity that his preparation for coming to Shanyang this time is not very sufficient, and the money he brought is far less than that of the Han families, so he decided to use some other ways to persuade the Han governor who has mastered the production process of this toffee.

The beggar servant wearing a new dress bought from a ready-to-wear shop in Shanyang City arrived at Sun's Mansion overnight, and he couldn't come overnight! Tomorrow morning, the auction of the second-class land will begin.

Through some film and television dramas, Sun Xiangfu knew that Hui Hui was another force that rose on the grassland after Xue Yantuo, but now, the strength is ranked in the Turks, a little brother after Xue Yantuo, whoever is strong, he will be a vassal to whom, and even because of some urgently needed salt and iron materials, he bowed to the family in the Central Plains.

Sun Xiangfu's impression of the beggar servant was that he was a philistine with no talent or even no discipline, and he was a little surprised when he received the news that he had come to visit, but he immediately met him in the living room.

After a very ceremonial greeting, the two sat down in the living room, and Sun Xiangfu took the lead in asking, "The patriarch of the beggar servant was invited by the governor to come to Shanyang as a guest, but unfortunately the governor has been busy with everything recently, and he has not fulfilled the friendship of the landlord, which is really rude." ”

"Sun Dudu is polite, my department needs food and accommodation in the city, the store does not charge fees, and the shops everywhere do not restrict our department from purchasing iron ingredients and other materials, which has made our department grateful.

Sun Xiangfu smiled, "Hehe, don't say it yet, let me guess, but because of the dairy project?" ”

The beggar nodded and smiled, "In the words of your Han people, Sun Dudu is really like a god. ”

Sun Xiangfu continued, "It's not difficult to guess this matter, but the second-class land sold by this governor is more than 300 miles east of Shanyang, which is nearly a thousand miles away from the territory of your Hui Ministry!" Moreover, once the land outside the gate is built, there will be ridges everywhere, and it is not like before, it is a grassland that you can come and go as you want, which seems to be ······."

Speaking of the back, Sun Xiangfu's expression became more and more embarrassed, and at this moment, he was already thinking in his mind how to tie this strong neighbor to the west to his chariot.

"Governor Sun misunderstood, the population of my Hui Department is only more than 100,000, and it has already occupied a thousand miles of land west of Ganliang, and the grassland is enough, I just want to cooperate with you to develop this dairy product, so that my department can exchange some scarce materials with the Central Plains or the countries of the Western Regions."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu knew that during the Tang Dynasty, the ecological environment outside the customs was still very good, most places, the vegetation was abundant, and the population was small, if there was no white disaster, there was no need to worry about the lack of forage for cattle and sheep. Sun Xiangfu saw a documentary film recording the history of environmental evolution in China in later generations, which once said that before the Han and Tang dynasties, the style of this land was very different from that of later generations, and the desert area was not as large as that of later generations, and in later generations of desertification or drought made like a no-man's land, there were many small countries and small tribes that relied on agriculture and fishing to make a living, which shows that the abundance of water and grass resources is not much worse than that of the Central Plains.

His mind was spinning rapidly, and after thinking about it, Sun Xiangfu said with a smile, "The grassland newly incorporated into my territory in the Tang Dynasty is as much as thousands of miles, and there are countless cattle and sheep herdsmen, why do I want to cooperate with you to return to the Ministry of Hui and let you make money?" ”
