The inhabitants of the Baiyun Lake Peninsula have long been accustomed to horse teams coming in and out, but the number of people who came today was a bit large, together with some escorts, there were hundreds of people.

Therefore, they successfully scared away the wild ducks gathered around the duck cage to eat, so that Ah Yue, who had worked hard all morning, pouted and looked like she was losing her temper, but she finally picked up a few wild duck eggs in the rice field and put them in the duck shed built by Sun Xiangfu to attract the wild ducks to come.

"Ah Yue, quickly call my brothers and sisters to bring some chilled melons and fruits, I want to entertain guests."

Sun Xiangfu greeted, Ah Yue reluctantly carried a basket full of rice to the residential area to call people, since Sun Xiangfu taught everyone to use saltpeter to make ice, everyone will eat fruit will be chilled, so as to prevent fire.

Sun Xiangfu has never had the habit of letting people serve him, but sometimes he supports Ah Yue, who loves to stick to him, but a big scene like today's obviously needs to be dealt with by the residents of the peninsula.

Sun Xiangfu's house on the peninsula is not big, and there is not even a wall yard, walk up the stairs of more than one meter, it is a hall of more than 100 square meters, the floor is more absorbent dry wood, and a layer of hard golden silk nanmu is paved on it, and the wall is also, he knows how tormenting the south wind day in Lingnan is, the house can not be built next to the ground, the floor and the wall, there are wood that must be dry and not easy to get wet, otherwise when the south wind arrives, the house will be full of water seepage, and the damp people can't stay at all.

The furniture of all red sandalwood and the ornaments of agarwood make the room have a more heavy atmosphere, and only smell the smell of agarwood wafting in the living room, Wei Shuhong and Li Gongyan like this house.

"You're too extravagant! The whole house is made of golden silk nanmu, how much does it cost? Li Gongyan, who was more concise, looked inside and outside the house.

"You don't know this, in Lingnan, this Jin Si Nan is not as expensive as Chang'an, and besides, I'm not ready-made for the pickpockets."

Sun Xiangfu proudly told the big guy about the second time he went to Jiaozhi, it turned out that this kind of nanmu was used to build a house in a small tribe in Jiaozhi, the advantage is that it is moth-proof, and it will not rot if it is flooded, Xi Jun bought just a few silks, so he changed a boatload of good wood, and pulled it back to help Sun Xiangfu build a house with five or six houses, and this set of houses based on golden silk nanmu and supplemented by agarwood ornaments, as long as the lights are not lit at night, there are no mosquitoes willing to come.

"Rare is expensive, these Nanmu to Shuzhong and Lingnan, it is indeed just ordinary wood, but the old man is surprised, seeing your farm, it makes the old man feel that this Lingnan land does not seem to be worse than Guanzhong!" Li Gongyan and the others said after listening to Sun Xiangfu's narration.

"That's because you haven't been to Happy Village, this peninsula is still under construction! In the future, it will also be what the Happy Village will look like. ”

When it comes to this stubble, Sun Xiangfu is a little homesick, this time it is a few months, and the second season of crops in Happy Village should be sown under the auspices of Sun Dali's brothers!

After the residents of the island knew that Feng Ang was coming, the whole atmosphere became warm, and each family sent their own lychees, star fruits, mangoes, bananas and other fruits picked in the morning, and placed a lot of them in Sun Xiangfu's hall, and the canteen for collective meals also rose at this time.

In fact, before, everyone saw the rice field on the other side of the lake from a distance, green and oily, very neat, but at this time, when they got closer and smelled the fragrance of rice flowers, it made everyone feel the extraordinary things of this rice field.

"This rice, the old man has also seen it in the land south of the Yangtze River, but it is not as strong as the rice here you have, and now it has begun to produce ears, when will the rice be ripe?"

Wei Shuhuan was now full of salt making matters, and he just casually swept his eyes in the rice field, but Li Gongyan pointed to the rice field and asked.

"At most, there are more than 20 days, this rice can mature, at that time, you can calculate the yield per mu, other places dare not say, in this experimental field planted below, the yield per mu of eight stone valley is not a problem."

In the past, every time others mentioned the words "Eight Stone Valleys per mu", Li Gongyan would show an expression of disbelief, however, this time when he saw the dense small ears of rice in the rice field, he put away his doubts, but instead looked forward to it.

Feng Ang was even more overjoyed when he saw these rice, if there was no shortage of food in Lingnan, he would be more confident to complete the plan he conceived last night.

"Sun Xiamu, I don't know when I can go to my Chunzhou to plant a few rice fields like this!"

Feng Zhidai was the most politically talented person among Feng An's sons, he had led troops to quell the rebellion, but he did not participate in the planting process of Champa rice, and now when he saw this dense rice seedling, he remembered his rule.

"Hehe, with these rice seeds, why worry about Lingnan can't be all over the rice, today I invite everyone to gather here, isn't it just to tell you about the planting method of this new rice seed······"

Half an hour or so, Sun Xiangfu will be Zhancheng rice from breeding, field preparation, fertilizer, sowing, pollination and a series of planting techniques to tell you, among which the people who attach importance to this matter, naturally will listen carefully to the note, do not pay attention to this matter, just listen to a rough idea, however, they all know, at most wait for another 20 days, the new rice will be distributed to the Lingnan states, before August they can also organize people to plant again, after October, when the weather is slightly cold, just harvest once.

And the grain obtained from the planting of these two seasons alone this year can make the people in Lingnan unable to eat, because the population of Lingnan is small!

Therefore, what they should discuss now is how to implement Feng An's plan to change Lingnan from a backward tribal division to a unified government administration, after all, the people who have enough to eat are the best ones to manage.

After planting this season's Zhancheng rice, Sun Xiangfu should return to Chang'an, how to govern Lingnan in the future, it still depends on the Feng family's father and son, as for the few businesses agreed with Feng An, it can only be done on a small scale at the beginning, and after Sun Xiangfu's fleet grows, a large number of goods can be delivered, and Sun Xiangfu's idea of Yazhou can only be implemented after the fleet is established, not in the short term.

The lunch of the residents of the peninsula is very particular, all the food must be cooked thoroughly, the shrimp and crab porridge made from the large casserole is the staple food at noon today, and after adding the minced vegetables, Li Gongyan and Wei Shuhuan, two northerners, also eat with relish.

On the dish, there are a variety of fresh vegetables and more than ten catties of big fish boiled out of the fish pot, although there is not too much seasoning to appear light, but eating is fresh, there is a big wild boar hunted back by the farmers, is cut into small pieces, with soybeans to cushion the bottom, add radish and bitter gourd, in the crockpot with a large fire pot of aroma, not waiting to be served, everyone's nose straight pumping.

On the few dishes that Sun Xiangfu taught the cooks, it has greatly inspired the mountain people to hunt, recently Xi Junmai and the guards have also run to the mountains several times, although they have suffered a little, but there are a lot of prey, a big bear that stands taller than adults is the outstanding harvest of the guards, the fur is shot by the crossbow arrows There are too many holes, it can't be used, the meat peeled out is put on the iron frame for barbecue, the fragrance of oil stains wafts across the peninsula can be smelled, Ah Yue and many children, holding dishes and chopsticks, standing by the oven, looking at the meat on the iron frame and drooling, they knew Sun Xiangfu's rules, the food was not cooked thoroughly, and they were not allowed to eat it.

"This rice is only about 20 days away from maturity, and I am afraid that I will not be able to enjoy this delicious wine and food here every day." Li Gongyan opened his mouth to speak, and everyone knew the travel arrangements of the two Qincha, for more than 20 days, the two of them divided into two roads, went to Lingnan Prefectures to have a look, and finally, they would return to Guangzhou, check the harvest data in Sun Xiangfu's experimental field, and return to Chang'an together with the data and some of the grain produced.

"Is Zhengming going to return to Chang'an with the two of you?" Feng Ang looked at Sun Xiangfu with some reluctance and asked.

"Yes! It's been a few months since I've been away from home, and the rice harvest is over, so it's time to go back. ”

"The old man is a little reluctant! Your Majesty asked Your Majesty to keep you as an official in Guangzhou, Your Majesty does not approve it, does Your Majesty want to keep you by your side as a retainer for the rest of your life? ”

"Hehe, Yue Gong doesn't know anything, if this new rice seed can really produce eight stone valleys per mu, Zhengming's merit is enough to be knighted, and his minister should be regarded as the end." Uncle Wei smiled and said.

Even if Sun Xiangfu previously held the title of Li Shimin's retainer, but with this merit, if Li Shimin does not reward a title that can be passed down from generation to generation, people all over the world will scold him for being unkind, so once he and Li Gongyan determine that the matter of eight stone valleys per mu is true, Sun Xiangfu will be knighted, and it is inevitable that he will be out of the category of the emperor's retainers.

However, Sun Xiangfu himself raised his eyebrows when he heard this, in fact, he didn't think that a title was meaningful, especially at the beginning of Li Tang's establishment, in order to win the hearts of the people, he deprived many of the privileges of the powerful, for example, in the Han Dynasty, people with titles killed civilians, only need to punish copper to atone for their crimes, but in the Tang Dynasty, you can remove your title in minutes, and even cut off your head.

Not only that, people with titles in the Tang Dynasty are counted as courtiers, and Yulu is issued by the imperial court, and of course the management is the same as that of courtiers, so once he is knighted, the business under his name cannot be continued by him, at most, like Qin Qiong and them, he will be a shareholder behind it.

For Sun Xiangfu, who wants to hide under the emperor's wings and make a fortune and strengthen himself, it may not be a good thing. You must know that during the Taizong period, it was not so easy to play the side ball.

Of course, since Sun Xiangfu can't control such a thing as being knighted, there is no need to think about it, he usually doesn't worry about things that he can't control, a year ago he was just a small farmer who could be crushed to death by someone turned over, how bad the situation could be worse than then? It's a big deal to give up all your business and hide in your own fiefdom to farm and get rich.

After thinking about this, Sun Xiangfu was no longer entangled, enthusiastically persuaded everyone to eat and drink, and chatted with Feng An's other sons, if he was asked to choose a place as his fief, he would prefer this fief to be in Lingnan, far away from the emperor.
