Words make people feel stiff because they are inappropriate, and Lu Wenzhong's words make people feel inappropriate.

With Yinan's current strength, the establishment of a khanate is inevitable, but whether this khanate is a neighbor of the Tang Dynasty or a vassal state has not yet been decided. If it is a neighboring khan, then it is really impossible to cross the border to come to Shanyang from time to time.

"Lu Gongzi's words are not right, we are in Shanyang City, but we welcome the leader of Yi Nan to come over to live and play from time to time, and no matter what his identity is."

Sun Xiangfu, as the highest governor of the local area, will naturally have his own confidence when he speaks, although there are a lot of serfs and domestic soldiers from various families to the border of the capital of Anbei, but Sun Xiangfu, Su Dingfang has already returned from the west, and has brought back more than 20,000 young and strong, plus self-recruited soldiers and horses, there are 30,000, and now he has entered the reorganization training, whether it is now or in the future, the fist here is Sun Xiangfu's largest.

"Hehe, even if you welcome the leader of Yi Nan to come, then he is willing to give up the millions of people in Xue Yantuo's department."

Lu Wenzhong didn't seem to care about Sun Xiangfu's accusation, and said with a smile.

He deliberately opened this conversation, and immediately Zheng Mingli of the Xingyang Zheng clan who was sitting beside him said, "What's so difficult about this, our families are extremely good at managing the people's livelihood, if the leader of Yi Nan intends to cooperate with us, not only does he not need to bother with the affairs of the people in the management department, but he can also get a lot of benefits in vain." ”

When Sun Xiangfu heard this, he knew in his heart that Lu Wenzhong interjected bluntly, but there was another purpose, he and Zheng Mingli had already begun to fool Yi Nan in unison, and Sun Xiangfu suddenly became their background.

In the past many years, the sons of the family have used this set to fool the tribes on the grassland, and this set is very useful, when it comes to intelligence, even the most intelligent ruler on the grassland, how can he compare with the top existence among the Han people!

However, Sun Xiangfu, who was happy to see it, didn't bother to bother them, after all, no matter how unreliable these families were, they could be regarded as the Han family, and it was also good for the Tang Dynasty to let them open the nomadic tribe in their own way, so he turned his head and chatted with Wang Xu on the left-hand side and said seriously, "Your Wang family will relocate and resettle no less than 100,000 serfs this winter, can it be guaranteed?" ”

Wang Xu nodded and replied, "My subordinates already have experience in this regard, and the problem is not big, but the new farm tools produced by your workshops will be close to my Wang family after the beginning of the new year next year, and I can pay in cash without counteroffering." ”

"That's no problem, the production of the workshop will not stop all winter, in fact, now you can send some people to the workshop to learn the production and use of these new agricultural tools, this manufacturing technology, the workshop is open to the public."

"Hehe, just learn to use it, if you make it, you don't have to, the cost I made myself may be more expensive than buying it from you, or it's easier to buy it." Wang Xu smiled.

As Sun Xiangfu's collaborator, he can always find some advantages in Sun Xiangfu, of course, this is relative to other families.

The family has a think tank, and when doing anything, there will be some considerations or experiments, imitating Sun Xiangfu's workshop to make things, just like Wei Zheng imitated the Food Supervision Division to make tofu before, and the final result is that it is better to buy and eat without worry.

Therefore, these families now believe that Sun Xiangfu has no intention of making their money in terms of farm tools.

In fact, it is not the case, even if it seems that the farm tools are sold at an extremely low price, the profit in it is very large, and the reason why the children of the family will feel that the gains outweigh the losses when they imitate it is because they don't know that Sun Xiangfu has reduced the cost in those aspects, if they can't imitate all the production lines of the entire workshop, the cost will not be reduced.

A tailor master makes a piece of clothing, and a hundred tailor masters make a hundred pieces of clothes, the average output is the same, but the time required is completely different, not to mention hundreds of thousands of pieces, other things are the same, take the plough as an example, a craftsman who is only responsible for making the plow handle every day, the speed of making the handle is definitely stronger than a skilled carpenter who can do anything, practice makes perfect, once this kind of production inertia becomes a habit, the speed of making things, will increase a lot.

These are still secondly, the plough is iron, to make your own, it involves smelting technology, mold technology, these are two different types of work, do you want to move the whole set? This is difficult because the core smelting technology is regulated.

"In order to allow each family to really develop the fields outside the gate, the governor did not make any profit on this farm tool, and the prince naturally wanted to save trouble. By the way, has the matter of planting spices been solved? Sun Xiangfu answered and asked again.

"Hmph, my family has taken a lot of land, and the other families are not satisfied, and the benefits in this are too great, so this matter cannot be solved, next year, I am afraid that each family will plant a lot of spices" Wang Xu snorted coldly.

From his gloomy eyes, Sun Xiangfu knew that he was really angry about the rest of the families shamelessly robbing his family's serfs who planted spices, and now, on the surface, he was just polite to the sons of the rest of the families, and behind the scenes, he didn't know how to retaliate back.

"The spices hoarded in the hands of Wang Gongzi have to be sold early, lest there will be too many spices on the market next year and the price will fall again." Sun Xiangfu seemed to remind Wang Xu, but he was laughing in his heart, this kind of competition would make his hatred with several other families deeper and deeper, but it was the country and the people who benefited.

When the price of spices is low to a certain extent, the people can eat, when making meat during the New Year's holidays, with the addition of spices, not only the taste will be more beautiful, but also slow down the speed of oxidation and decay of meat, and the most benefited are the nomads outside the customs who eat a large amount of meat.

"What, next year, you're not going to get something new to plant?" Wang Xu looked at Sun Xiangfu with some expectation.

The more you know about Sun Xiangfu, the more you naturally know about what he has made, there are many kinds of vegetables in Chang'an, including outside Shanyang City, those vegetables under the low shed, there are many kinds, in the past, but everyone has not seen them, the price of those green vegetables is now not lower than meat, and the vegetables that grew up in the frost and snow are very sweet, which is very suitable for the appetite of people in these periods, as soon as they eat it, they can't stop talking, if Sun Xiangfu makes any high-yield, high-priced crops, then they Wang will definitely plant it first.

"There are only a few new vegetables next year, if Wang Gongzi wants to plant them, he can send a skilled farmer to Xingfu Village to collect enough seeds, these vegetables can be made into dried vegetables, which are delicious to cook in broth in winter, and the effect is no less than that of tea and white water, but there are some benefits."

The yield of vegetables is usually greater than that of grain, and there are many kinds of vegetables, which can be harvested repeatedly during the growing season, and the fish grass goldenrod planted in Guanzhong is also one of them, which is actually suitable for human consumption, and during this period, although there are many kinds of techniques for making pickles and pickles, but few vegetables are dehydrated and air-dried, the reason is that the vision is not broad enough, and the benefits of this are not realized.

In later generations, Sun Xiangfu, who often eats dried vegetables in winter, knows that some vegetables are stored after dehydration, and boiled with water in winter, the taste and nutrition are actually mostly still there, these dried vegetables can greatly enrich the food source of the people in winter, and if the dehydration of vegetables is done on a large scale, the labor cost will be reduced a lot, Sun Xiangfu feels that this kind of dried vegetable technology, in this period, is still very marketable, for nomads, it can completely replace the use of tea, the same, Because he didn't have the manpower and energy to do this kind of project that was not profiteering, he planned to cooperate with Wang Xu.

"You mean that after next year, there will be more new crops to be planted?"

When Wang Xu doesn't lose his temper and doesn't use force, his brain is also quite good, and the education that these sons of these families have received is the top in this era, and with his intelligence, it is not difficult to capture some of the meanings in Sun Xiangfu's words.

"Well, there will be several! It still needs to be studied and explored. By the way, I know that your Wang clan has a lot of forestry in the land of Bingzhou, among which there are patches of oak forests? Speaking of agricultural matters, Sun Xiangfu thought of some other things and asked.

"Oak trees?"

Seeing that Wang Xu was still a little dazed, Sun Xiangfu described to him the appearance of the oak tree, which aroused some of his impressions.

In later generations, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia and Northeast China are all important distribution areas of oak trees, with a planting area of more than 60 million mu, because it is very economically valuable.

First of all, his wood is very strong and resistant to corrosion, and it is a good wood for making farm tools and furniture.

Secondly, his bark is a traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of dysentery, and the extracts of the leaves and shells can be tanned, printed and dyed.

The leaves can be used to raise silkworms and fish. The fruit contains more starch and can be used to make oak, alcohol, starch, oak oil, etc., and can also be used as livestock feed.

It can be said that the oak tree is a treasure, but unfortunately, people in this period did not make good use of him.

Sun Xiangfu also saw the wild lion's mane mushroom by chance from the shops of the Yan Ya Department, and remembered the domestication and planting of lion's mane mushroom, only to think of the oak tree, because the dry oak tree is the best lion's mane mushroom parasitic site, in later generations, people have domesticated a large number of lion's mane mushrooms, so that ordinary people can buy lion's mane mushrooms to eat.

However, in this period, lion's mane mushroom can represent the top mountain delicacies, only in the court can be eaten in small quantities, the mountain delicacies and sea delicacies are lion's mane mushrooms and shark fins, they are called the four famous dishes together with bear's paw and bird's nest, using simple cooking methods, the production is delicious.

Sun Xiangfu wants to plant cash crops, food lion's mane mushroom is naturally the first choice, and to plant lion's mane mushroom, suitable for its growth and cultivation of oak trees is the first choice, so he wants to use the resources of the Wang family to plant oak trees in large quantities on some slopes on the grassland that are not suitable for leveling.

"Yes, there must be some, you want wood for this kind of tree?" Wang Xu roughly recalled his own industry in his mind, and after the number, he said to Sun Xiangfu.

"I want small tree seedlings, ripe fruit is fine, I want to plant this kind of tree on all the hills that are not suitable for leveling, and in a few years, you will know its benefits." Sun Xiangfu's eyes glanced around, and deliberately worked hard for Guan Zidao.

"It won't take years for a small sapling to grow, but if you want to make something, I'll just get you some wood?" Wang Xu was still a little puzzled and continued to ask.

"I don't just need wood, if you have it, collect it for me! At the beginning of spring next year, I need to plant, which can be regarded as the reward for me teaching you to plant new vegetables and make dried vegetables, well, the show has begun, so let's not talk. ”

Speaking of this, the curtain on the stage had been opened, and Sun Xiangfu ended the conversation with a prevarication, and at this time, a burst of pleasant music sounded from the stage.

A set of small chimes was quickly struck out of a melody by a hitter, and with the melody sounded, Dongzhu, who was dressed in a novel costume, ran to the center of the stage with the two maids who were good at dancing in Yufu, and began to dance under the rhythm of the music.
