Education is not an overnight thing, if Li Shimin wants Li Chengqian to manage the East Palace next year and enter the court to hear the lawsuit, Sun Xiangfu, as the young master of the crown prince, will come forward to stop it, a young man who is not too mature in mind cannot impose too many things on him, which will distort his character.

For a period of time before the Spring Festival, there will be no more military tasks that Sun Xiangfu needs to work on, so he plans to go to Dingxiang City once, although the snow here is thicker than Shanyang, but there are also many people working, leaving the construction time of Changsun Chong only about a year and a half, in the two choices of shocking the world and laughing generously, Changsun Chong chose to shock the world.

Therefore, all kinds of architectural settings in Dingxiang City will be very advanced, here, there are even more than a dozen different styles of large restaurants, large inns, if all completed, can receive hundreds of thousands of foreign guests with very high-quality services.

This year, those laborers from the Western Regions were strongly requested by him to come here, with brighter heads, translators, more beautiful looks, learning singing and dancing, the worst, and being able to do some physical work, basically devoted themselves to the service industry in Dingxiang City.

Moreover, Changsun Chong, who has a lot of communication with Changsun Wuji, has already started to build a large commercial plaza in Dingxiang, and now, the main building has already been completed more than half.

"When I used to help you be the supervisor of Wangjiang Tower, I was very tired of muddy water and building these things, and I will tell you honestly, at that time, I just wanted your snacks and meals to be delicious, so I ran so hard, I didn't think about it now, but I kind of like the feeling of building a behemoth."

A city is built under the guidance of a person, far more than painting a huge painting to give people a sense of achievement, as the most central city in the middle of the North, Dingxiang City will carry a lot of things in the future, it may be the Western Regions people come to the Central Plains, the first melting pot to experience, the proportion of Han people here is very low, the customs are very diverse, after here, and then go to the Central Plains, there will be some obvious differences.

"You're starting to get interested in architecture? I may want to talk to Your Majesty about this. ”

"What, after building Dingxiang City, what big moves do you have?"

Beginning next year, after two or three years of construction of Dingxiang City, it will enter the finishing work of the later decoration and various constructions, and the most important task of Changsun Chong in Dingxiang is about to be completed, maybe he wants to stay here and see the development scene after Dingxiang City, but he knows that there are many places where Datang needs him, and Dingxiang is only one of the footprints of the development of the North.

"I think that a talent like you who is good at dealing with the Hu people should be put in the Anxi Dadu Protectorate that the imperial court is about to establish, where the Hu people are the most numerous and the most miscellaneous, of course, you don't have to think about the official position of the Dadu Protector, because you have no military merits, and it is impossible for Your Majesty to let your grade exceed your father, but it should be more than enough to make a long history of actually being in charge of specific affairs."

In order to prevent the local forces from growing, the position of the protector of the capital of Anxi, except for the initial stage, will definitely be the same as the protector of the capital of Anxi who Sun Xiangfu is now concurrently serving as the protector of the capital, and will be led by a certain minister of the court.

At present, it seems that the person who is the protector of Anxi is likely to be Cheng Yanjin, after all, he single-handedly knocked down those places, and he is high enough in credit. However, after the real management organization structure is formed, it is time for him to return to Chang'an to enjoy Qingfu.

Governing the Western Regions is a more challenging job than governing the northern regions, because it is not only a multi-ethnic area, but also borders with many countries outside, and the things that need to be dealt with are very complicated.

Not only that, after Goguryeo takes it, it is estimated that it will set up an Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, and there are a lot of talents needed, and when the time comes, it will undoubtedly disperse some talents of the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate, after all, the popular governance of the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate has been on the track, and some other officials can come over and take over, and it will be managed step by step.

Eldest Sun Chong listened to Sun Xiangfu's words, and said with some expectation, "You're right, the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate should be managed by people like me, if I can also build a few cities like Shanyang and Dingxiang over there, in the history books a hundred years later, it shouldn't be said that I am the second ancestor who lives on the shadow of my father!" ”

Hearing the words of the eldest grandson, Sun Xiangfu was a little relieved, he was born with a golden key, he should have been a rich second generation who played eagle fighting dogs in Chang'an City and ran rampant in the city, but he was led to the right path by himself, and he was bent on making meritorious contributions and leaving a name in history.

However, he personally came to Dingxiang City, not just to check the progress of the construction, for the positioning of a city, development, but also need to have some long-term plans, and the eldest Sun Chong walked on the street for a while, Sun Xiangfu said, "A city, is not built, its business will be developed, want this Dingxiang City to really play a role, long-term prosperity, but also rely on the support of many pillar industries, Dingxiang is characterized by it is closer to the depths of the grassland than Shanyang, Hu people and herdsmen more, Animal husbandry is more developed, it is the closest big city to Mobei in the Tang Dynasty, there is the entire Xue Yantuo animal husbandry, providing nutrients for Dingxiang, coupled with the agricultural output of the Wang family, the basic conditions for development are basically there, but this is far from enough. ”

Hearing Sun Xiangfu say that it was far from enough, Changsun Chong's eyes looked at him, you know, because the geographical location is closer to Mobei than Shanyang, many businessmen who used to operate in Shanyang are now moving to Dingxiang City, don't underestimate the distance of these two or three hundred miles, if it is to buy and sell goods at the same price, no one is willing to go two or three hundred miles more, that is to say, the prosperity of Shanyang is almost destined to be staged in Dingxiang, is it, the prosperity of Shanyang, in the eyes of Sun Xiangfu, is not enough?

"Don't be unconvinced, that Anatuo from Tianzhu this year, one person almost exchanged most of Shanyang's goods, you know!"

The big caravan of 10,000 camels and the big deal of 4 million catties of Uzi steel ingots, Changsun Chong naturally heard about it, and after thinking for a while, he answered, "What do you mean, the output of goods in our northern land is not enough?" ”

"This is just one of the reasons, these Hu merchants, in Shanyang, and Chang'an, purchase goods at the same price, they can save four thousand miles of travel, the cost of this, I don't need to calculate it for you! Therefore, the goods that can be purchased in Shanyang, they will directly purchase in Shanyang, but they will still go to Weinan to purchase goods when they purchase goods in Perfect Yang, why?

Because Weinan has enough kinds of goods, enough quantities of goods, for them to choose and purchase, businessmen have some ideas to do the business of goods out of the door, because, if a kind of goods, only he has it, he can sell it at a better price, Shanyang has perfume, which is destined to a part of the Hu Chamber of Commerce to Shanyang, what core industries in Dingxiang attract Hu businessmen to come?

At present, once Tai'an City, Shangqi City, and Wulan City are built, and the things produced in Dingxiang City are also produced, then, there is no need for merchants from all directions to come to Dingxiang City to trade, because they all want to exchange goods nearby and save costs. ”

After Sun Xiangfu's explanation, the eldest Sun Chong immediately understood, the five families in Shangqi City wanted to cut off the Wang family's trade in the Western Regions, whether they would succeed in the end, it is not easy to say, but once Shangqi City developed, Dingxiang's exports in animal husbandry and agriculture were basically made to death, it was thousands of miles away, and it was tens of thousands of miles back and forth, even if the price of Shangqi City was higher, Hu merchants in the Western Regions were also willing to purchase these goods nearby.

And the trade from the northeastern countries and various tribes will basically be concentrated in the east of Ulan City, where the smelting industry will be developed later, and this alone will attract all the merchants from the east to trade in Ulan City, because there is a shortage of these things. In this way, Ulan City will gather all the specialties from the east to form a characteristic that attracts merchants, and Dingxiang, which is in the middle, will not only lose the trade route to the west, but also the trade route to the east.

"Okay, don't sell it, come to Dingxiang City on a cold day, I don't believe you didn't come with a way." After Changsun Chong was stunned for a moment, his brain suddenly turned around the corner.

"I know that I am lazy to save effort, since Dingxiang has developed animal husbandry, then, we should start earlier and dig deep into this industry, for example, a spoonful of milk powder that can be brewed out of a cup of milk, and adults and children love to eat milk candy, if it is made into a large industry for national sales, this can be regarded as a core pillar industry.

Then there is the meat industry, Dingxiang has more coal, more cattle and sheep, and making shelf-stable baked jerky must be the lowest cost among all other places with animal husbandry, which is also a core industry.

And then, what I'm going to tell you about today, the wool industry.

After more than a year of research at the Shanyang Workshop, the craftsmen finally found a way to make wool soft and comfortable, suitable for spinning into wool thread or wool fabric.

There is also a top textile material, cashmere, I call it the 'king of fiber', because some specific breeds of sheep, the cashmere, its comfort and rarity are much higher than silk, as long as the herdsmen under the rule of Dingxiang learn to collect and produce these wool, cashmere, then, it will make Dingxiang's economy, invincible. ”

Even in the later generations of scientific development, the top cashmere is also very precious, the unit of valuation, usually the same as gold, fine to the gram, ordinary cashmere, are also sold for one or two hundred yuan a catty, is currently all human beings can use textile raw materials are incomparable. However, the top cashmere generally comes from Tibetan areas, such as the 'Kashmir' cashmere raised and collected in the Nagqu area of Tibet, China, which is the world's top.

Of course, Sun Xiangfu didn't expect them to be able to raise and collect these top cashmere all at once, ordinary cashmere, which was enough to crush all kinds of clothing now, after all, this is a high-end product.

The wool fabric of the mass product is also superior to the linen cloth commonly used now many grades, which will promote the clothing revolution of Datang and even the world.

Food, clothing, shelter and transportation are the four primary needs of human life, if animal husbandry can be extended to the 'clothing' industry, and then take into account for food, it will account for the two most important needs of human beings, and it is no wonder that it can decay.

"Yes, yes, no wonder you can let the Wang family develop agriculture in Dingxiang, it turns out that what you value has always been Dingxiang's animal husbandry, and these industries are now in the hands of our government."

"Hehe, the Wang family only thought that they had mastered the fields around Dingxiang, and some properties, and they had mastered Dingxiang, but in fact, it was not, once the animal husbandry industry was deeply developed, the profits generated were simply incomparable to the Wang family, they could at most be regarded as licking bricks and tiles for the stable development of Dingxiang, and the real core business could not fall into their hands, so how to recruit workers and industrialize it next is what you should do in the history of Dingxiang."
