In addition to blueberries, European sweet cherries will also breed, this kind of simple crops that are almost planted with peach trees, Sun Xiangfu only needs to dictate, the children of the farmer can complete it, the altitude and temperature required for the growth of cherry trees, most places in the north are suitable, Sun Xiangfu let everyone breed tens of thousands of saplings at one time, and then all the banks of the Sanggan River in Shanyang City, and even outside the city, will be planted, not only beautiful, the fruits produced, but also the welfare of the entire Shanyang people.

Of course, Hu Shang not only helped him get such a little fruit tree seeds, and after that, Sun Xiangfu would choose some poor states and counties in Datang that are suitable for planting this kind of fruit trees to export seedlings, which can be regarded as a kind of benefit to farmers in disguise, especially in the four parts of the Northeast Xinguishun, where cherries are planted, and the yield is also quite considerable, but the growth cycle of cherry trees needs to be longer, at least four or five years later, before we can see economic benefits.

As for onions, planting this thing, there is simply no technical content at all, Sun Xiangfu dictated to those skilled farmers, they can take their own seeds to plant in the newly developed fields, it is estimated that it will be fully popularized in one or two years, and there is a lot of beef and mutton in the north, with onions to stir-fry, but it is a delicious home-cooked dish, this high-yield and nutritious vegetable, it is estimated that it will often appear on people's tables in the future.

After the tense arrangement of agricultural affairs, the emperor went to Mobei to visit the people's team is finally about to set off, this time they are basically big men, and the ministers who will not be able to ride horses also stayed in Shanyang, the whole team is moving fast, more than 60,000 people of the whole riding team, on the first day they walked more than 100 miles, to a construction site between Shanyang and Dingxiang City.

"Zhengming, where is this?"

"Uh, Shanyang Labor Camp."

"Labor camp?"

Seeing that Li Shimin was a little stunned when he heard this unfamiliar word, Sun Xiangfu hurriedly explained, "It is the place where the ministers dealt with the prisoners in the Northland, have you forgotten that Cui Zheng, Lu Li and a few others had a big fight with the Wang family before, and the soldiers of several of their families who participated in the fight were all arranged here, plus those who were sent over after recovering from their injuries, there are more than 10,000 people!"

There are also some traitors in Shanyang who usually commit crimes, as long as they are not capital crimes, the ministers have also been sentenced here. Since it is only a department dominated by a seven-rank official and a petty official, the minister has the power to appoint and revoke it on the spot, so he has not reported it to you. ”

Li Shimin gave Sun Xiangfu the power to govern the northern land is a full-powered governor, officials and departments below the fifth grade, he can appoint, establish, or revoke it, and the seven-rank ones are naturally nothing, even if Sun Xiangfu builds a county out of thin air here, he only needs to mention it to Li Shimin.

Listening to Sun Xiangfu's explanation, Li Shimin was interested, because he was going to hold a scientific expedition in Chang'an in the second half of the year, so he didn't want to touch the nerves of the family too much, after all, the scholars, the family accounted for the majority, Li Shimin was also afraid that they would come out to make trouble, stir up this matter, or evolve into a model of several of them sharing the cake and continuing to divide the power of the court.

Therefore, he chose to remain silent, or delay the handling of the war between several major families, unexpectedly, all of these family soldiers who participated in the fight were successfully detained by Sun Xiangfu, and, it seems, it seems that they are engaged in some large-scale construction.

"Those sons of the family are willing to let their own soldiers do labor for you here?" Li Shimin pointed to the prisoners who had no intention of calling it a day at dusk.

"Hehe, that's because the minister has a way to make them willingly leave these soldiers to serve in labor! Your Majesty, look at the little saplings on the hillside. ”

Sun Zhao pointed to the distance, as soon as Li Shimin stretched out his hand, Wang Deyong handed over a telescope, and soon, Li Shimin saw in the telescope the sapling of the oak tree that had grown branches and leaves on the hillside in the distance, and asked, "This is the kind of oak tree that you are talking about that can be used as the substance base of Lion's Mane mushroom?" ”

Sun Xiangfu nodded and replied, "Yes, the minister told them that whoever planted more oak trees on the barren slopes on the grassland that could not be cultivated would have more lion's mane mushrooms in the future, so not only did they not ask the ministers to return these family soldiers, but there were even families who wanted to send more family soldiers to the ministers, because they wanted to learn the technology of planting oak trees." ”

Li Shimin heard this, and said with a smile, "This plan is very good, so can these oak trees really grow lion's mane mushrooms?" ”

Sun Xiangfu nodded again and replied, "Of course, the lion's mane mushroom you eat at home is what I planted with rotten oak trees as the quality base, and these oak trees are not only the quality base for cultivating lion's mane mushrooms, but also have many economic values, its leaves are comparable to the mulberry leaves in our Central Plains, and they are a good thing for raising silkworms. ”

"Dozens of times, hundreds of times?" Li Shimin's heart beat violently, no wonder Sun Xiangfu had been telling him that silk could no longer be used as currency, and it was affected by the double impact of cotton cloth and its own huge increase in production, and its value would probably have a big gap.

"You know, when it comes to agricultural output, ministers don't say much." Sun Xiangfu looked at Li Shimin's somewhat unbelievable appearance, and said confidently again.

By the time his plan to plant tens of millions of acres of oak forests is completed, Datang can raise as many silkworms as he wants, dozens or hundreds of times, which is already his most conservative estimate.

Listening to Sun Xiangfu's words, Li Shimin Turkic felt a little fluttering, he seemed to see the rise of an invincible power, because this country can completely solve the problem of food and clothing for all the people.

If Sun Xiangfu knew what he was thinking at this moment, he would definitely despise him.

Food and clothing are only the most basic issues of human survival, okay, can we have a higher pursuit?

"Are they building themselves a place to live?" After floating for a long time, Li Shimin came back to his senses.

"Sort of! The people in the labor camp have to participate in labor every day, but they still have to work so late, and the minister is also a little surprised, so it is better for us to camp here today and rest, and see what their situation is later. ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded, and immediately, Wang Deyong conveyed the news of camping and resting to the generals who led the guards, and suddenly, the whole team began to stop and get busy.

Sun Xiangfu asked Zhang Ke to go to the construction site of the labor camp to say hello, and immediately, his brother-in-law Yu Fang led his subordinate officials to rush over to the place where Li Shimin, Sun Xiangfu and others were resting.

"Yu Fang, director of the Chen Shanyang Labor Camp, meet Your Majesty, the Metropolitan Governor, and the generals."

"Yu Fang, you're not even fifteen years old! Just come out to do anything, won't your father let you do your studies at home? ”

Li Shimin waved his hand to signal Yu Fang to be exempt from courtesy and said.

"Your Majesty, my father thinks that the minister is not the material for learning, so let the minister follow his brother-in-law out to experience and practice, so that he can learn some real skills." When he said this, Yu Fang's waist was very straight, as if he had really done something great, young man! If you do something, you naturally want to show off.

Li Shimin was dumbfounded when he heard this, is the Yu family so lenient and indulgent for this generation?

However, Li Shimin is the emperor, so he will not show any emotions in front of Yu Fang's kind of kid, and pointed to the hot construction site and asked, "Then you tell me that it is dusk at this time, why are these prisoners still working without eating and resting?" ”

Yu Fang seemed to have expected Li Shimin to ask such a question, and replied, "Your Majesty, it is a hot summer day, so the minister changed the working hours of these prisoners, two hours in the morning, and two hours before and after dusk, so as to prevent them from working under the scorching sun, and during the day, they have already rested for a long time, so they are so energetic at this time." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded, waved his hand in the direction of the construction site and said, "The distribution is reasonable, so why did you build this prison, oh, labor camp, so big?" ”

Yu Fang replied without thinking about it, "Because we want to produce profits!" There are now more than 10,000 prisoners in the labor camp, and these are all young and strong laborers, who are not only responsible for planting 300,000 mu of land in the surrounding area, but also feeding more than 100,000 cattle and sheep. ”

Hearing him say this, Li Shimin's eyes looked at Sun Xiangfu again, thinking that it should also be his idea to use the prisoners to farm and graze for profit.

At this time, Sun Xiangfu had to come out to explain, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister's policy proposition in Shanyang is not to waste manpower, and to make every department benefit as much as possible, so that it can last for a long time, even the army has to plant military tuntian to feed itself, not to mention the prisoners, by the way, these labor prisoners were betrayed and punished here, mainly for the purpose of labor reform and ideological education. ”

When Sun Xiangfu said this, Yu Fang's face suddenly showed a smug smile, and he said, "The metropolitan governor wants to see it, and you can see it when it's dark and you can see it." ”

Yu Fang's tutor is not bad, knowing that when he called Sun Xiang in front of the emperor, he called him an official position, seeing him looking triumphant, Sun Xiangfu immediately gave him a serious look, if something happened, he didn't have so many excuses to help him explain to the emperor.

The tent of the summer night was very simple, the main purpose of the tent was to keep mosquitoes out, and after a while, the camp of the army was set up, and many soldiers began to raise the fire to cook, and at this time, it was also dark.

Li Shimin and Sun Xiangfu did not go to the construction site to see the prisoners, and after eating, they just found a high slope and used binoculars to watch the construction site where torches were lit.

After a while, I saw that all the prisoners were sitting together in the open space, and then, Yu Fang's figure appeared among them.

"Shadowless, come and see, what is that kid talking about?"

Lip language, Sun Xiangfu has no time to study it by himself, over there, there is an inner servant holding a telescope, and his mouth is constantly talking to Li Shimin, here, Sun Xiangfu is naturally waiting for Wuyinger to pass it on to him.

"Governor, Yu Fang said, now is the time for you to reflect on yourself for the third time today, think about your past, are you loyal to the emperor? Do you do your filial piety to your parents? Is it kind to the weak? Have you fulfilled your duty to raise and teach your children and descendants······?"

Sun Xiangfu was overwhelmed when he heard this, Yu Fang really found the way of ideological education, and he used his half-baked Confucian knowledge.

Li Shimin, who was not far away, was also crying and laughing, stroking his beard, it is estimated that in his eyes, this Yu Fang can be regarded as a wonderful person!
