Everything Sun Xiangfu did was actually traceable, taking out the capital hoarded by the powerful of the family, promoting the development of the country, and transforming it into fixed assets, tying their interests to the stability of the country, the fields in the north, and the same is true of Weinan New Town.

In the happy village and other other people at the same time, Sun Xiangfu also led a group of farmers to prepare for this year's spring ploughing, in order to alleviate the impact of last year's drought on Guanzhong, he needs to advance the entire farming time this year, then, breeding is a very huge project.

"Big brother, the vegetables in many fields have not been harvested yet, and now for breeding, will it be early?" Sun Deshou, who was already twelve years old and had grown a lot taller, questioned.

"It's not too early, while we are breeding, notify the villagers of each family to start harvesting! If the vegetables are stored in the cellar, they will be enough to eat for a month or two, and in early February, our seedlings can be transplanted into the fields. ”

Lived in Datang for several years, for this period of Guanzhong climate Sun Xiangfu also has enough understanding, although the weather in early February is still cold, but enough to cultivate good seedlings in the greenhouse, which is more than the traditional period of March sowing, April to grow seedlings, two months in advance, the maturity of the crop advanced to May and June, then the time saved, enough to plant a season of short growth cycle, but also raise the ground of summer beans, in September and October when the cold weather comes, summer beans are almost fully ripe, Just after harvesting, ready for winter.

Most of the seeds have not been scientifically improved like later generations, and the slow growth cycle of traditional crops is a hard injury, so it is extremely rare to be able to achieve two seasons of main crops in the field, plus the harvest of some winter vegetables.

To improve seeds, you need some scientific and technological products as an auxiliary, with the current conditions, Sun Xiangfu can't do it at all, and when the conditions can be met, it is estimated that the people of Datang will not lack food.

Looking at the few brothers-in-law who were following behind him blankly, Sun Xiangfu waved his hand at them and said, "You guys are responsible for recruiting me now!" The number of people starts at 20,000, and skilled hands are preferred, in addition, go to the Animal Supervision Office one by one, and ask Sun Erli to notify all the stewards of the Huangzhuang and send people to help complete the work. ”

Solving the livelihood problem of millions of people is not something that can be completed by a little bit of land, so since the first year of Zhenguan, the radiation range of the planting area of Xingfu Village has been expanding, first of all, the fields of Huangzhuang and Sun Xiangfu's allies.

After that, it almost expanded to the entire noble group, even the family children, and ordinary farmers, also began to follow the trend, and this year, it is estimated that everyone will be on par with the happy village, no way, what people grow, economy, high yield.

A few little guys took the order and left in a hurry, Sun Xiangfu came to the warehouse where the seeds were stored in Happy Village, this year's staple grain planting, or wheat-based, due to the drought of different degrees in the land of Guanzhong the year before and last year, it is impossible to plant traditional winter wheat, so Sun Xiangfu can only choose to plant spring wheat.

The temperature in Guanzhong is slightly warmer than outside the Guanzhong, and the reason why the planting of spring wheat does not begin to sow until March and April is that the winter wheat grows slowly, and it is recorded in some documents of the Han Dynasty Food and Goods Chronicles and Dong Zhongshu on Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that winter wheat is planted in September and October, and harvested in March and April of the following year, that is to say, the growth cycle of winter wheat covers an area of more than six months.

For the planting of spring wheat, in later generations, there is a set of more practical soil methods, that is, the surface can be thawed six centimeters.

When sown in colder weather, wheat will grow more and grow better after vernalization.

The sowing is too late, the temperature is high, and the wheat seedlings can not complete the vernalization, which is also the reason why the spring wheat yield planted by the people in Guanzhong during this period is not high, of course, there are many other reasons, people in this period have not figured it out, such as wheat is more injurious to fertility, continuous planting on a piece of land, the yield can be high.

Based on Sun Xiangfu's observation of the climatic conditions of this period in the past two years, as well as the measurement of the permafrost layer of the soil, I feel that at the end of the first month, the land of Guanzhong has actually been able to sow spring wheat, even if there is a cold weather in the spring, it may not be able to freeze the wheat in the dead ground, because after February, it is difficult to appear in Guanzhong in the weather that does not snow heavily.

After the spring wheat harvest in May and June, the field is planted with high-yield summer beans, which is the most in line with economic interests, so that the land can be vacated before winter to plant some winter practical vegetables, or simply cultivate, as for the winter wheat with a growth cycle of more than half a year, Sun Xiangfu feels that the economic value is too low, and can directly give up, in addition, you can also consider planting some cold-resistant, and future crops in demand, such as rape, with the gradual popularization of iron pots, people will gradually learn to fry vegetables, so the oil of stir-frying, It is the necessities of the people's new life.

In addition to wheat, cotton, and all kinds of melons, is also the main crops planted in Guanzhong this year, due to the need to plant a wide range, the selection of seeds, need to be carried out immediately, after all, after that, there is a lot of work to be done to build a greenhouse, make a nutrient bowl, the whole field, the bottom fertilizer and so on, although the number of laborers is quite a lot, but in a month, the entire Guanzhong field is taken care of, it is also difficult.

This is also a drawback of intensive cultivation and technical planting, the manpower required has almost increased exponentially, if it were not for Sun Xiangfu to get a lot of efficient production tools, it would be impossible to complete it with the original production level of the people of Datang.

Yu Fang ran to the Animal Supervision Office, and before the Spring Festival bathing day in Happy Village, he was already preparing for spring ploughing, and soon everyone knew about it, so Li Shimin rushed to Happy Village.

At this time, Sun Xiangfu was already counting the benefits sent to him by several families, and he buried a lot of them, which was enough to make up for the money that was recently extorted by Li Shimin and his wife, and there was still a little surplus.

Therefore, Li Shimin did not come alone, he came with him, except for a few of his confidants and ministers, the officials of the family line basically went out in full force, for no other reason, just to seek shares in Weinan New Town.

"You kid tell me, what should I do next!" Li Shimin sat down in the living room of Sun Xiangfu's house with some annoyance, and poured a sip of warm milk tea.

At this time, he was aggrieved in his heart, these ministers knew that they would spend money to find Sun Xiangfu to give gifts and buy news, but they would only use their tongues to force him to compromise, which really angered him.

On the way here, he kept shouting in his heart, I am also very short of money, okay! If you send me some money, my news will definitely be better than what Sun Zhengming's kid sells.

"Your Majesty, the public house in our Happy Village is actually very suitable for the auction venue."

Sun Xiangfu saw Li Shimin's expression, and knew that he was not in the right mood, most of them were eating his own dry vinegar, and said weakly.

Li Shimin shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Now it's not that you can solve the problem by taking the shares out of the auction, those ministers think that a few of you privately raise money to divide the shares of the Weinan New City project, which is a black-box operation, illegal and unreasonable, and it is reasonable for everyone to contribute and distribute shares together." ”

"What do they think, what are we going to do? Is this possible? All you have to do is tell them that there are many counties in Guanzhong, and that Weinan was the worst county that had the smallpox plague last year, and that if they have a lot of money, they can invest in other counties with better conditions! Your Majesty, you will go out as usual, take fifty percent of the shares, and distribute the rest as they like. ”

"yes, I didn't think of that!"

Sun Xiangfu's words made Li Shimin suddenly realize, of course he wished that all the counties in Guanzhong would be like the Weinan New Town described by Sun Xiangfu, anyway, he didn't need the court to pay for it, and he himself could sit back and wait for dividends.

"Thoughts, concepts, Your Majesty, in this regard, you have to change, you need to be more flexible, otherwise, those courtiers will always think that you are easy to bully."

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded and said, "Well, that's the case, I'll leave this matter to you!" ”

"Well, that, the minister still has to prepare for spring ploughing here! Don't you think it's better to leave this matter to Lord Wei? ”

"Wei Xuancheng?"

Listening to Sun Xiangfu's suggestion, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then a wicked smile appeared on his face, and said, "Yes, this matter should be handed over to him, and it will be done in the public house of your Happy Village, you go and arrange someone to arrange it first!" ”

Sun Xiangfu received the order and walked out of his house, outside, there were still a bunch of people waiting for news! Among them, Wang Gui has a higher grade, just at the door, Sun Xiangfu gave him a look, and then looked at Wei Zheng, and then, Wang Gui knew that the emperor planned to hand over this matter to Wei Zheng to deal with, and then, he completely gave up the idea of going through the back door.

Wei Zhengqi, although he is also from a Shandong family, but he is not all the way with them, his character is like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, go through his back door, it may be a profit that does not fall into a picture, fortunately, he got the news of Wang An's return, so that the Wang family prepared a lot of cash, even if he had to use the auction method in the end, he Wang's family, it was just to spend more money.

Sun Xiangfu pulled Wei Zheng aside, and told him what Li Shimin meant, the auction routine, he had already seen it in Shanyang, and there was no problem with the host, but there were a few points, Sun Xiangfu wanted to make it clear to him, first, the imperial court welcomes people from all walks of life to invest in building a city, except for Weinan, any other county in Guanzhong can use the same way to raise funds to build a new city and open up new industries, which dispelled everyone's doubts about several original shareholders in Weinan County.

Of course, if they have to take the shares of Weinan County, they can! It's a big deal that several original shareholders all withdrew their capital and gave them all the shares of Weinan New Town, and a few of our original shareholders went to build a city elsewhere, Xinfeng County is also a good place! It is also convenient for the Wei River, and it is close to Happy Village.

Second, these shares are preferentially sold to people who can provide more materials for building the city, and there will only be one buyer for these seven percent of the shares.

Vicious competition, if it is not the only one, how can they let them break their heads! When all of them transported the building materials to Weinan, wouldn't the other pit set up by Sun Xiangfu have an effect?

After saying these things, Sun Xiangfu went to find Sun Dali, this guy is a lot stronger now, he should be fat, the girl in his arms has just grown teeth, and his wife is pregnant with another one in her belly.

Deng Shi with a big belly likes to work in the chicken farm where the woman works, there are not only hundreds of thousands of chickens raised there, but also a lot of mulberry trees planted in the first two years, there is a clothing workshop at the foot of the mountain, and female workers are usually gathered.

"What's the matter, sister-in-law is busy finding you a woman again?"

When he arrived at Sun Dali's house, it was no different from being at his own home, Sun Xiangfu poured tea for himself, and took out a piece of warm jade from his arms to play with his daughter.

"Hehe, not only for me, but also for Erli to find a daughter-in-law! He's seventeen this year, and it's time to get married. ”

Sun Dali smiled honestly, put his daughter on the kang head, let her climb and play by herself, turned around and went to the cabinet, turned out a notebook and said, "This is the reserve details of the various warehouses in the village, whatever you want to use, you can go to the library to adjust, look at your posture this year, you are planning to do a big job, I have already asked the big guy to prepare things." ”

Sun Xiangfu flipped through the book, nodded and said with a smile, "Well, the handwriting has improved, and the things are stored enough, you arrange for someone to arrange the public house, and the imperial court will borrow the public house to hold an auction, in addition, after the work of selecting the seeds is completed, notify all the people in the village and the steward to go to the public house together, and I will hold a meeting for them and assign tasks." ”

"Okay."

Sun Xiangfu is the backbone of the happy village, even now he does not stay here many days a year, basically does not interfere in the management of affairs, but with him, everyone's morale will be inexplicably high, in just two or three years, it has become an agricultural holy land in Guanzhong, every year during the spring ploughing, everyone will gather here, this year, it is gathered here in advance, looking at those who come to seek advice, Sun Dali's heart is full of a sense of achievement.
