Chapter 443: Campfire Camping
The bonfire was lit, Li Shimin danced the Hu Xuan dance beside the fire very unimaged, did not bring special musical instruments over, only the big drums and horns used to give orders in the army, Wei Chigong beat shirtless, exposed chest hair, and beat a cheerful rhythm on the big drum, and then, the soldiers and courtiers who barbecued meat and wine into their stomachs all ended up on their own.
This kind of pleasant atmosphere can infect everyone, and Shelong from Yunnan is like this.
Yumi from Lingnan, Heicha is like this.
Miao, Yi, Tujia, etc., etc., the leaders of the various ministries are like this, the Tang Dynasty, showing them any previous dynasties did not have a side, if, at this time, someone proposes to add the title of Tian Khan to Li Shimin, they will definitely really support it, because they feel that there is such a country as the Tang Dynasty, and there is such an emperor as Li Shimin, which is very good.
"Zhengming, this cup, the old man respects you."
Wei Zheng's beard has long been stained with wine, he loves wine, naturally he also loves to drink, and it is massive, Li Shimin may not have drunk him, Sun Xiangfu picked up the cup with a little confusion in his eyes, he didn't remember how many cups this was, anyway, before Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, Li Jing, Hou Junji, Dugumou, Duan Zhixuan, Chai Shao······
Even Qin Qiong, who has not drunk for a long time, has already asked him to drink, who calls him the new prince, later, he will inevitably have a big banquet in Wangjiang Tower, greet the people of these noble groups, and in the future, Sun Xiangfu and them will be a community of interests.
"Gong Wei, drink."
Sun Xiangfu already had a big tongue, his legs and feet were weak, so he sat directly on a burlap bag full of wheat, and only drank a small half of a glass of wine, but scattered it six or seven percent.
Wei Zheng, who was only five or six minutes drunk, saw him like this, smiled, drank all the wine in his wine glass, and then sat on the same bag of wheat under Sun Xiangfu, almost leaning his shoulder against Sun Xiangfu and said, "Zhengming thinks that this planting technique has a limit?" ”
"Limit? What are the limits? As far as our current output is concerned, it is definitely not the limit, and one day, we, too, can double it again. ”
"Double? Reach more than eight stones? ”
"No, it's not, it's to take the current production, again, again, double, twelve, thirteen stones, even more, more······"
Wei Zheng only thought that Sun Xiangfu was calculating the yield of about two stones of wheat before, but he didn't expect his heart to be so big, and seeing that he was not too sober and shook his head vigorously, he didn't suspect that Sun Xiangfu was talking big, which was a very sure state, or rather, he believed that this thing could indeed be realized.
Wei Zheng couldn't imagine what kind of picture a field with a yield of more than ten stones per mu was, and when he wanted to continue to ask Sun Xiangfu when this kind of yield would be realized, Sun Xiangfu had already raised his head and fell asleep on the grain bag on all fours.
Wei Zheng felt that he had made a very right decision today, he pushed Sun Xiangfu to the position of the Duke of Nongguo, and when he really achieved that kind of output, the world would ······
All right! Wei Zheng still couldn't imagine what the world would be like at that time, so he decided to get himself drunk and see if he could see it in his dreams.
Ah Yue opened the flower water in her arms very intimately, wiped it on Sun Xiangfu's arms and cheeks, and found an empty burlap bag to help Sun Xiangfu cover his stomach, although Guanzhong is much better than Lingnan, there are not so many mosquitoes, especially after lighting a bonfire, but there are still some after all, now Lingnan people know that applying flower water can repel mosquitoes, and besides, sleep in the open air to cover your stomach, otherwise it is easy to have stomach pain when it is dawn.
Yumi and Heicha learned from others, drank a lot of spirits, and then, like dead pigs, fell trapped in the field, Ah Yue couldn't move them, although they also helped them apply flower water, but they could only hope that the reptiles on the ground who were not afraid of flower water would not bite them, but when they were in Lingnan, they should have long been used to being bitten, and they would naturally turn over when they were uncomfortable.
"Are you the little girl from Lingnan?"
As kind as possible, but still with a somewhat majestic voice, it sounded next to Ah Yue, who was helping Sun Xiangfu play a fan, which startled her, and when she turned around, she saw Li Shimin, whose clothes were soaked with sweat and a little embarrassed.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor, my name is Ah Yue."
"Hehehe, he's a good boy, come here, come and sit here, and tell me about Lingnan."
Hearing this, Ah Yue smiled obediently, but shook her head and said, "Ah Yue wants to take care of Uncle Sun." ”
Li Shimin pulled a bag of wheat on the ground, sat on it, patted the half of the bag next to him with a smile and said, "Drunk people, you give him more water to drink, sweat, wake up quickly, come and fan me, I will let people carry water for him to drink!" ”
It's already midnight, and Li Shimin doesn't plan to go back to the palace, it's cooler to sleep in the open air in the summer, and today he plans to deal with it here for a night, anyway, there are chamberlains who will help him fan and repel mosquitoes.
Ah Yue believed Li Shimin's words, and while walking over to help Li Shimin make a fan, she said, "Ah Yue has enough, and she doesn't need to be rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor." ”
"Yes, then you tell me what you have?"
"Ah Yue has a father! His name is Ah Shan, and Uncle Sun, as well as Xiao Hei, Xiao Ye, and a house, in Baiyun Lake, next to Uncle Sun's house, but it is spacious. By the way, there are more than 200 plantain trees, and I have marked them all! The sugarcane field is Daddy's ······"
Ah Yue reported some of her own property as a few treasures, and buried it, which was really a lot, Li Shimin listened to her all before asking, "Then do you people in Lingnan have so many things like your family?" ”
Ah Yue thought for a while and shook her head, "No, some people own a lot of boats, and every time they come back from going to sea, they will bring a lot of strange things. Some people, if they have an island, they will plant the whole island with plantains or coconuts, and there are also people who raise rabbits or buffaloes on the island.
There are many people working in Grandpa Feng's workshop, they finish their work every day, and they have to learn to speak Chinese, Grandpa Feng found a lot of people who can speak Chinese to teach them, and the gentleman who teaches to speak can get a salary of five yuan every month, but we Lingnan people are so stupid, we can't learn a few words a day, and it is easy to forget ······."
Under Ah Yue's piecemeal sketch, Li Shimin's picture of Lingnan became clearer, and at the same time, he also knew what Feng Ang had been doing over the years, and how much significance Sun Xiangfu's trip to Lingnan had for the entire south.
"When I defeat Goguryeo in the east, I will go to Lingnan to see you, are you welcome?"
"Welcome, of course welcome, Grandpa Feng said that he wants to build Guangzhou City more beautiful than Chang'an, so that Your Majesty you are surprised, now, there are many people who are busy every day, and they have to give a lot of wages every day, but Grandpa Feng said, as long as we run overseas more ships, spend more money to build a city, we can also give it, he also said, after building the city, we will build roads, build straight cement roads like Guanzhong······"
"If there are more ships going overseas, there will be more money?"
"Yes! Uncle Zhao's fleet can bring back a lot of people every time, some are very short, some are very dark, and Grandpa Feng's boat is pulling back a lot of things, there are stones, but they are all colored ······"
Li Shimin listened to Ah Yue's words, and some pictures suddenly flashed in his mind.
Uncle Zhao should be Zhao Long, the captain of Sun Xiangfu's guard, it is said that in the past few years, he has transported many batches of Goguryeo, or Japanese prisoners of war to Shanyang, as for those short and black people, maybe they are people from other coastal countries!
As for those colored stones, they should be ores, Lingnan began to do a lot of construction, and they didn't rely on Guan ** Ying steel materials, but directly got them back overseas, it seems that there are treasures everywhere overseas! No wonder Sun Xiangfu left Zhao Long in Lingnan back then.
"Where's your baby elephant! Why didn't you bring Chang'an this time? ”
"They've all grown up! The boat is not easy to pull, and they have to stay at home and discipline other baby elephants, in recent years, Uncle Bamu has sent a lot of baby elephants, Grandpa Feng said, in the future, they will rely on them to build roads. ”
"Who is Bamu? How could he have so many elephants? ”
"He is from Lin Yiguo, and now he is a subordinate of Grandpa Feng, and Grandpa Feng said that Bamu will also come to Chang'an······"
"Ah Yue, besides, Grandpa Feng's hard work is about to come to naught."
The chat between Li Shimin and Ah Yue lasted for an hour or two, and Sun Xiangfu, who had slept for a while, and Sun Xiangfu, who had been awake for three or four minutes, opened his eyes in a daze, and just heard this paragraph, obviously, when he stopped it, it was too late.
"Why, what else can't Feng Ang design?"
In the face of the sunshine of Li Shimin's scrutiny, Sun Xiangfu knew that it would not work if he didn't talk about it, and he couldn't sell it here in Li Shimin, if someone dared to write a serial to him like later generations, it was estimated that he would be urged to death.
"That, Bamu, is a native of Linyi who provided Champa rice seeds to his ministers before. In the past few years, with the support of Yue Gong, he has gradually become bigger, and on the side of Linyi country, he has laid a territory with a radius of nearly 1,000 miles, and built a city, which is called Guangzhi City. ”
"Guangzhi City? During the Han Dynasty, the seat of Rinan County? ”
"Exactly, the place occupied by Bamu now is larger than the Rinan County set up during the Han Dynasty, with a population of about 50,000, and has been completely under the control of the Lingnan Provincial Governor's Office.
"Hahaha, good you Feng An, actually play this hand for me, but the game is beautiful, and I am very happy······"
