Since Li Ji wanted to ask such a question, Sun Xiangfu had no choice but to use his professional knowledge to say, and organized the language before saying, "Dadudu, in fact, the places where the wild grass is lush on the grassland are very suitable for farming, especially in the Hetao area, where water resources are abundant, and there are basically no major drought and flood disasters.

Merchants from the Western Regions transported to Chang'an, cumin, which is always worth more than a pound, I call cumin, that thing can be grown here, and the yield is extremely high, and the yield per mu can reach more than one stone. ”

"More than one stone per mu? How much is a pound? That is to say, planting an acre of cumin, which you are talking about, can be sold for more than 100 yuan? ”

"Well, if you do, that's not wrong."

Sun Xiangfu said that the data is more conservative, the yield per mu of cumin in later generations can generally easily reach more than 100 kilograms, about two stones, if Sun Xiangfu grows the same yield as later generations, then the economic value of the yield per mu may reach more than two hundred, you know, Chang'an's spices, the lowest time has not been lower than the consistent money of a catty, and even sold for two pounds of money when there is a shortage of goods in winter, anyway, people who eat spices will not care about that little bit of money.

Hearing Sun Xiangfu's words of confirmation, even people like Li Ji, who are not very greedy for money, swallowed their saliva, to have such a big profit, let alone those rich people, they can't wait to make some money to invest.

"That, you can't mention this matter to outsiders, the old man wants to play Your Majesty."

"You can take care of yourself, please take care of yourself, anyway, that's what I'm going to say."

It's okay to be a promoter behind the scenes, Sun Xiangfu doesn't want everyone to come to him, now he is a commoner, in case those huge forces are anxious, he won't be able to survive this little fish.

When the big guy knows that the grass outside the gate can be planted with more than one stone per mu, the land here will become valuable, and there will be many forces who want to carve it up, which will jump into the giant pit designed by Sun Xiangfu.

Don't you need human hands to grow spices? Don't you need security? Isn't there a need for infrastructure? Therefore, before planting spices, you must first make a round of big investment, and after the investment, when the grassland here becomes a fort for ten miles and a city for a hundred miles, then this will become the inherent land that the Han people rely on for survival, and it will be difficult for the nomads to take it away.

Especially in the Houtao area near Shanxi, where coal reserves are abundant, a little development can solve the problem of people's winter survival, so the prospect is very good, and the feasibility is very high.

What does Li Ji say to Li Shimin in his recital, Sun Xiangfu doesn't care, he only knows that he and the gang of death row prisoners will stay in Shuozhou for a long time, because there is a lot of work to be done in the newly taken over territory, and defense is the first problem to be solved. Sun Xiangfu and these people naturally won't leave.

The city gate cave and the city gate tower have become temporary residences in the death row camp, and Li Shimin has more strategic intentions for Li Ji here, and the people in the death row camp are not qualified to know, they only know that the governor of the city has given an order, and all the armor on the city wall must be repaired, and if there is damage or collapse, it also needs to be repaired, even if it is a cold winter, it is not the time for them to be lazy.

"Jun buy, scatter our manpower to see if there is any coal nearby, and if you find it, use a plow and rake cart to pull some back."

Sun Xiangfu's personal guards are not death row prisoners, and the people of the overseer team can't control them, in fact, since the death of Liang Shidu, Sun Xiangfu is no longer a member of the death row camp, because he only needs to go through one battle to avoid death, and now, it's just that the time for his 100-day shackle has not yet arrived, otherwise, he is already a free man.

"What are you doing with coal?"

"Burn the kang! Don't you think it's hard to sleep without that thing here? ”

Sun Xiangfu every time he goes to a place, he hopes to make that place livable, he thinks this is his contribution to everyone, the fire kang was only raised in Chang'an last winter, and naturally it has not yet reached this city that was not under the rule of the Tang Dynasty last year, yes, Sun Xiangfu wants to get this thing out and make the winter of the people here better.

The time to put food is the happiest time for these people in the death row camp, not only because they can rest at this time, but also because they can gather around Sun Xiangfu at this time, and they no longer have to worry that those soldiers who are greedily looking at the cotton armor on their bodies will find an opportunity to snatch the cotton armor on their bodies, which can be warm when worn on their bodies.

"There are so many places to repair the city wall, I see that after the repair, what else does he want us to do."

After a busy day, Tang Fengyi, whose fingers were a little frozen, returned to the city gate cave, saw the noodles that Sun Xiangfu cooked for everyone, and immediately grabbed a bowl in his hand, and said while swallowing.

"The city wall is finished, and the houses are repaired! In the land of Shuozhou, there are many places that need to be built, but the emperor's decree is coming down, and you shouldn't be doing this kind of work here endlessly. ”

Sun Xiangfu knew that Li Ji would definitely pass on the content of his previous conversation with him to Li Shimin as soon as possible, and after Li Shimin knew the news, he would definitely have a new disposition of himself, and after learning about the situation in Shuozhou, he would definitely give a credit to the death row camp, and it is hard to say whether this credit can save them from death, at least it will definitely be better than the current situation.

However, what Sun Xiangfu didn't know was that the Wa Kingdom actually replied to the Luoyang 918 incident just over two months later, and it was the Prince Shengde of the Wa Kingdom who replied to Li Shimin, because Emperor Tuigu was seriously ill at this time and was about to hang up.

The content of the reply was as Sun Xiangfu expected, and the stable first admitted that Inugami Erda was the scum of the Wa Kingdom, not only in Datang this time, but also in the Wa Kingdom before, so Datang was right to kill him, and the stable was ashamed of the improper use of Emperor Tuigu, and apologized to the people who were hurt in Datang.

Then, next summer, the Wa Kingdom will send a larger delegation to the Tang Dynasty to meet His Majesty the Emperor, and will bring no less than 100 ships of gifts to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and hope that the cultural exchanges and trade exchanges between the Tang Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom will not be severed, etc., etc., etc., the words can be much more humble than the letter of the Emperor Tuiko.

This letter from the Japanese was opened by the chamberlain, and when it was read out, the ministers were in an uproar when they heard it.

When did Datang kill someone else's envoy corps, and it became reasonable, just because of that big drama?

The one with the richest expression was naturally Li Shimin, he didn't expect that all this was guessed in advance by Sun Xiangfu's kid.

"Your Majesty, since Sun Zhengming killed the evil envoy of the Japanese State before, and did not damage the country's reputation, then his crime is not established, and the old minister requests that Sun Zhengming's title be restored."

Wei Zheng is a fair person, before he persuaded Li Shimin to temporarily pardon Sun Zhengming, but Li Shimin was sentenced to a hundred days in a flail, originally he thought it was a little unfair, but later he was sentenced to a death row camp, which is heavy enough, under normal circumstances, it is difficult for such a death row prisoner to come back alive, and there is no difference from the death penalty.

And now, the crown prince of the Wa Kingdom and the next emperor have all written to admit their mistakes, which shows that what Sun Xiangfu did before not only did not damage the country's reputation, but also a kind of punishment of evil and promotion of good.

Sun Xiangfu's allies listened to Wei Zheng's words, and naturally jumped out to speak for Sun Xiangfu, and now no one has any reason to oppose what Wei Zheng said, because it was those officials of the seven clans and five surnames who were helping Sun Xiangfu sing his merits, wanting to push him into the courtier sequence and deprive him of the right to operate various big industries in his hands.

However, there is one person who disagrees, that is, Li Shimin, he did not entangle Sun Xiangfu with the matter of killing the envoy of the Japanese state, what he was angry about was the matter of killing the envoy without permission, the key is in this word "without permission", if the ministers of the court act without authorization and are not controlled, then how can he, the emperor, care?

But coincidentally, at this time, the Shuozhou 800-mile expedited has also arrived, which is the official report sent by Li Ji three days ago.

Shuozhou was victorious, and the head of Liang Shidu was sent to the Taiji Hall along with the report of Li Ji, the governor of Bingzhou.

"Check the head, read the good news."

At this moment, Li Shimin is in a very good mood, not only because Li Ji won the battle, but because this good news came too timely, just to vaguely pass the matter of Sun Xiangfu's knighthood, at least enough to shackle him for a hundred days, and let himself be angry.

However, the next moment, Li Shimin's jaw almost fell to the ground, Li Ji's good news was too brief, and it was a little bizarre.

The core content of the inside is a few sentences, November 20, the vanguard of the army death row camp 200 horsemen arrived at Shuozhou under the city of Mayi, when the general Liang Luoren raised troops to kill the rebellious Liang Shidu, Liang Shi was invincible, led the remnants of more than 200 people to flee, at the gate of the city encountered a cadre of death row camps, etc., was blocked by random arrows, no one escaped, Liang Shidu himself was beheaded by Sun Zhengming, and then the vanguard general Niu Jinda arrived, the court did not lose a pawn, and recovered the entire territory of Shuozhou.

Li Shimin really wanted to make up for Sun Xiangfu's appearance of killing the enemy, but he really felt funny and unimaginable, so he believed Li Ji's words first.

Originally, he wanted to discuss the follow-up work of Shuozhou directly with the ministers, but he saw Wei Zheng jump out.

"Sun Zhengming beheaded the thief in the array, and he has made great contributions, His Majesty should restore his title as soon as possible and reward him, so as not to chill the hearts of those who serve the country."

"Re-······ It can't be restored, since Sun Zhengming has two merits before and after, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War renegotiated the merit reward. ”

In fact, if it was someone else who jumped out, Li Shimin might have agreed, but it was Wei Zheng, a dead bull, who jumped out, Li Shimin was unhappy, and deliberately found an excuse.

When Wei Zheng heard this, he also felt that what Li Shimin said was reasonable, and the two credits before and after were very great, if it was just a reinstatement and no reward, it would seem that the court was a little mean, and then he shut up and stopped mentioning the matter, and discussed the people's livelihood and politics in Shuozhou with the big guys, until an hour later, the morning dynasty ended, and the inner servant Wang Deyong took out an envelope from his sleeve and gave it to Li Shimin, "The British Gong Mi plays." ”
