Chapter 570: Walking
Dongzhu's singing level has improved a lot, this voice is practiced in concerts in various parts of the grassland all the year round, and the singing team she selected and practiced is very distinctive, and can combine to strengthen her original timbre of the voice, and the effect of the scene makes Li Xiangdie, Yao Hongsleeve and other veteran singers are amazed.
Of course, the performance program is not the purpose of Yi Nan to drum up this concert, in recent years, Dongzhu has toured various departments in the Mobei grassland, only he knows best, for the integration and exchange between the departments, as well as commercial and trade exchanges, has played a very positive role, so that Yi Nan can easily collect the materials of various departments, concentrate on foreign trade, in order to obtain huge profits.
Therefore, after a few songs, Dongzhu began to promote the products of the Xue Yantuo Khanate on the stage, and the focus was on the geographical advantages of the Xue Yantuo Khanate leading to the European region, which made many Caspian Sea and Aral Sea surrounding countries realize that they could trade with the Xue Yantuo Khanate by walking so closely, and the Xue Yantuo Khanate was a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, as long as they were on the line, they could buy a lot of goods produced by the Tang Dynasty from their hands, so that this trade route became more and more important.
When I went back from the opera house, it was already late at night, but there were still people busy at home, it was Sun Deshou who took a group of children from the farm, no, it can't be counted as children now, it was a group of teachers with the farm, and they were marking the seeds of more than 100 crops from the Western Regions brought back by Sun Erli, including the seeds of plants that might be used for medicine brought back by the medical school, and they were also handed over.
They want to make a planting plan for the growth environment of these crops and medicinal plants that Sun Erli and the people from the medical school have counted, among them, there are twenty or thirty varieties of grapes with relatively high prices in the market in the Central Plains alone, and if they cultivate good grape varieties that can be easily planted and high yield in the Central Plains, then all the people of Datang will be able to eat all kinds of fresh grapes in the future.
Sun Xiangfu looked at the young men in the living room who were carefully recording and writing, and said, "These things are not in a hurry, don't burn your body for this." ”
Sun Deshou said with a look of disobedience, "Hurry! I'm in a hurry, I only gave the College of Agriculture a seven-day vacation, and after I go back, I have to make up for the classwork, these things to do planning and research, of course, are completed quickly during the holiday, and we have to go to see the opening ceremony the day after tomorrow! ”
Seven days, counting the three days or so that need to be consumed on the journey, they can stay in Dingxiang for four days, and after watching the opening ceremony, they have to return in another day, but it is really as Sun De said, a little hurried.
"Many of these crops need to be promoted and planted in Guanzhong or the southern region, have you thought about who to send to the field to conduct research?"
In fact, in the era when Sun Xiangfu lived, grape cultivation had long been popularized, and many rural farmers could grow very sweet grapes by themselves.
However, this era is different, just like the grapes he planted next to the eel pond in Xingfu Village before, it is easy to plant and plant well, but it is very difficult, due to the altitude, the climate and the quality of the land are different, and the varieties need to be adapted and improved.
Moreover, this is usually a long-term work, six years, the earliest batch of disciples of the agricultural sect, has mastered enough basic knowledge of scientific planting, and now it is necessary to start to develop in the direction of sub-types and special research.
"Brother, you are researching and planting rice in Shannan Province, and it is planned every four years, presumably, it will take a long time to plant and improve this grape variety!"
"Yes, although the people in the Western Regions have relatively mature planting methods and can grow very sweet grapes, the climate and soil texture over there are different from ours, and the yield is not high in my opinion, and there is a lot of room for improvement.
Previously, we did not improve the grapes we planted, the taste was relatively sour, and it was difficult to eat, but if we wanted to grow grapes that were not inferior in taste to those produced in the Western Regions, and further amplify the yield, we needed to do a lot of research work, at least a three-to-four-year variety improvement plan.
So be it! You nominate two or three people according to your interests, and I will arrange for them to go to the Ministry of Agriculture in Shannan Province to serve as agricultural officials, and help guide local agricultural production while studying planting.
As for the types of other crops, all cash crops that are not suitable for planting in large quantities in the north, or that are in demand for large quantities in the Central Plains, will also be treated in this way, and will be provided to me by the beginning of spring next year. ”
Sun Deshou nodded when he heard this, "I know the eldest brother, by next year, we should be able to draw out a lot of people." ”
There are only more than 20 disciples in the first batch of agricultural sects, and there are more than 50 disciples in the second batch.
Moreover, the students recruited by the College of Agriculture, the basic conditions are relatively high, they are teenagers who have completed cultural education, their learning speed is generally very fast, at most there is another year, these agricultural students who know more advanced agricultural knowledge, will begin mass production, when the time comes, Sun Xiangfu will not worry about no one available.
"Master, I like to eat grapes, let me go back to Jingzhou with you to plant grapes!" Wu Meiniang heard that Sun Xiangfu was going to arrange some people to go to Jingzhou to be officials, and immediately jumped out and said.
"Can you be an official?"
"I ······"
Wu Meiniang was choked back by Sun Xiangfu's rhetorical question, however, she wanted to return to Jingzhou, her eyes were rolling, thinking of a way, although she was smart, but her personality was perverse, jumping out, these students in the College of Agriculture are all the type of research with their heads bored, and they have also passed the age of liking to play, and they all want to do big things, she has been in Shanyang during this time, but she is about to die of boredom.
"Girls, you can also be an official! Isn't my wife a female official······" Wu Meiniang, who thought for a while, muttered quietly.
But I didn't want her to hear these words, Sun Xiangfu heard them, and said, "If you want to go to the art troupe, I will send you over immediately, with your age, you can study for five or eight years, and you can almost be a female official over there, how about it, do you want to go?" ”
As soon as she heard about five years and eight years, Wu Meiniang suddenly shook her head and said, "Don't, five years and eight years, it's too long, this, it's not fair." ”
Sun Xiangfu didn't know if Wu Meiniang was talking about whether it was unfair to study for too long, or whether it was unfair that a woman couldn't be an official in a department other than Taile Division, and now he was sleepy to death, so he waved his hand at her, and went back to his room to rest.
Early in the morning, Sun Xiangfu came to report to Li Shimin, the matter of the number of honors was done, Li Shimin was still in a good mood, and designated Fang Xuanling to represent the imperial court and sign specific agreements with various countries, Sun Xiangfu also had to explain some specific rules to Fang Xuanling and the ministers clearly, until lunchtime, and he was preparing to have a lunch in the barracks! The eldest grandson Chong came over and asked the ministers to go to the scene.
The so-called 'walk' is the rehearsal of the process that Datang officials need to do at the opening ceremony.
Tonight, the barracks will adjust the position of the hot air balloon, and the way they will land at that time is to hang the rope to lower the gondola for riding, and the hot air balloon itself will not land.
The ministers who attended the opening ceremony needed to line up at the landing point of the red carpet, and together with Li Shimin, they held a sacrifice to the sky, lighting the fire, and the ceremony.
Then, it was Li Shimin and his wife, who took Li Yuan and led the ministers to sit at the viewing table and watch the opening performance of the world's first sports conference.
The performance will last for more than an hour, and at the end, all the athletes enter the stadium and a flag-raising ceremony is held, after which the representatives of the various delegations will begin to draw lots for the first round of each event, which will basically take up a morning.
After lunch, the first largest, most spectacular match, comparable to the football World Cup in the future, will be held at the main venue, that is, the polo match.
In this game, the participating teams are all local teams of Datang, foreign, only Byzantium, Persia, Dashi and Tianzhu four countries formed a team to participate in the competition, the total number of participating teams has a total of fifty or sixty groups, it is the highest prize money in all competitions, the champion team can not only get a reward of 180,000 yuan corresponding to the number of players, but also can get a gold trophy weighing two catties, inlaid with eighteen gems, the value of this trophy, almost worth tens of thousands, among them, the Datang Royal Polo Team, is the No. 1, Definitely open the first game.
After a hasty lunch, everyone rushed to the field with the eldest grandson, but don't look at it just a simple walk, it took two or three hours to explain all the affairs clearly, and the main time was wasted on the representatives of the Fanbang countries who were also familiar with the venue at the main venue, explaining to him the order of entry, guiding the way, and lining up with the athletes.
There was no surprise that the country of Pi and Tibet continued to be ranked last, not even a small country that had only sent more than 100 people to participate in the competition, although they were still dissatisfied, but they did not dare to shout.
Of course, this is just a small episode, after seeing the neat sportswear of Datang athletes, as well as bright and exquisite flags, they also want to have, in this regard, Sun Xiangfu can only suggest that they hurry up to the clothing store in the city at night to purchase or customize, and make a few beautiful flags in one night, which is nothing for Datang businessmen who are engaged in this industry.
As for the uniform style of clothing, hundreds of thousands of sets, each merchant should also have inventory, after all, all kinds of shops in Dingxiang City began to hoard goods half a year ago, as long as they choose well, don't bump into each other.
What makes Sun Xiangfu the most funny is that most of their countries do not have their own national anthems, and Sun Xiangfu did not let Tang Jian remind them that there is no national anthem, so they simply listen to the national anthem of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention, the "Qin King Breaking Array Music" led by Li Chengqian and designated by Li Shimin as the national anthem of the Tang Dynasty, although the melody is relatively easy to remember, but the lyrics are a little obscure.
After being busy, Sun Xiangfu didn't return to the mansion until late at night, and what he didn't expect was that there were still guests waiting for him in the mansion.
"Is there anything important about coming to me so late?"
The guest who came to visit late at night was Wang Xu, and he also used disguise, as if he didn't want anyone to know what he was like.
"My people have sent news that Your Majesty is really not going to kill Wang Hao, so I'm going to do it."
Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu was stunned for a moment, and after a while, his eyes sank and said, "Be cautious, Your Majesty's secret guards are not vegetarians." ”
"Don't worry! All those who do it are dead. However, you have to help me think about what will happen after the start, if Your Majesty investigates it on a large scale, then I am afraid that the loss of our Wang family will not be small. ”
Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Okay, I know, do you want me to help?" ”
Wang Xu shook his head and said, "The cleaner you skim, the more powerful you will be when you speak in front of Your Majesty afterwards." ”
Sun Xiangfu arched his hand at Wang Xu and said, "Then, everything, please." ”
