Li Shimin's family had a good time in the competition venue, but Sun Xiangfu, who was a cow and a horse for them, died a lot of brain cells, and the family was even more difficult to deal with than he imagined, and they noticed Sun Xiangfu's intentions early on.

Therefore, even if all of Sun Xiangfu's plans are successful, at most, it is to let them change from aggressive mode to dormant mode, when there were powerful monarchs in the past, they all spent it safely, after thousands of years of inheritance, they already have a plan to deal with various situations, and it is difficult to completely eradicate it.

Jiangnan, Hongzhou Baihua Pavilion, Wang Hao drank the last glass of wine in a dashing manner, threw the glass to the ground, and threw his sleeves away.

The person sent by Wang Rui to announce the recapture of his family's power is still the big man representing the clan elders' association, and the person who succeeded Wang Hao is just a collateral child of the Wang family, not even Wang Rui's concubine, what does this mean?

The Wang family no longer attaches importance to Jiangnan, even if it produces tens of millions of stone grain every year, it is only worth one million yuan.

However, throwing a cup on the ground does not mean that he is angry, maybe it is just a scene he made for others to see, he seems to have expected this day a long time ago, so, out of the White Flower Pavilion, he barely took one more step to the wrong road, and came directly to the dock outside the city.

"Childe, where are you going?"

"Go to sea, go to Nanzhao."

"No."

After a simple question and answer, the big boat immediately went down the river, Wang Hao at the bow of the boat faced the autumn wind, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and muttered, "Sun Zhengming, the show is about to start, I don't know, this time, whether you can catch the move, but whether you succeed or I succeed, it is a success." ”

Sun Xiangfu in Shanyang, naturally he doesn't know about Jiangnan, he is busy supervising the workers of the food workshop to make moon cakes, and it is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival.

There are many theories about the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was first seen in the "Zhou Li", and the "Book of Rites" in the Spring and Autumn Period recorded that "the Son of Heaven is the sun in spring, and the moon is in autumn." ”

In other words, at that time, there was already a ritual of worshipping the moon in autumn.

And the product of moon cakes, which is more well-founded, was invented by Pei Lin in the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, mainly used to distribute the military salary of the anti-Sui sergeant, anyway, when Pei Lin was alive two years ago, Sun Xiangfu had never eaten the moon cakes he invented, perhaps because of the various cakes and pastries in Wangjianglou, which surpassed the kind of round hard cakes he made too much, so he was embarrassed to get it out again!

Of course, Sun Xiangfu does not need to supervise a cake making business, the reason why he appeared in the food workshop is because Li Shimin wants to make a fuss with moon cakes.

Let the people spontaneously help them build the palace, there must be a reason! The free distribution of moon cakes is the reason for Li Shimin.

"Lao Chu! Turning around and reporting all the money for making these moon cakes to the Cui family, didn't they say that they would not let the Wang family specialize in beauty, and His Majesty sent moon cakes to the people, which can be regarded as a part of the construction of the palace, and this link will be borne by them. ”

Chu Suiliang, who was also in the food workshop watching the workers pack moon cakes, said with a smile, "In this way, let the workshop produce more, one box is too little for one household, only four, there are many children in the family, one person may not eat one, send two boxes!" ”

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said with a smile, "What you said is reasonable, the minister's family has a large population, and it is not too much to send ten boxes and eight boxes, rest assured, a little food, you can't eat the Cui family." ”

Benefiting from the cheap price of ingredients, eating like moon cakes, the cost of one is less than two yuan, which is still because of the reason for adding a little honey to the filling, if you only make moon cakes made of pure flour, one hundred and fifty yuan to buy a stone of ground flour, you can make four or five hundred.

And even if two mooncakes are distributed to all the people in Shanyang now, it is only more than one million mooncakes, and the cost is only two or three million yuan, two or three thousand yuan, which is simply a drizzle for the Cui family.

Some moon cakes with eggs and more honey are the things that food workshops really use to make profits, of course, even so, the cost of a moon cake is not high, now Datang's eggs are not like the previous two years, after the chicken farms everywhere are up, an egg will be sold for two cents, and what can really raise its value is the exquisite packaging box.

On this day, August 15, Li Shimin rarely wore a dragon robe to the scene of the competition, and with a wave of his hand, hundreds of carts were pushed by the sergeants to the front of the central high platform.

Then, under the loud repetition of the sergeants, the strange people finally knew what the emperor was going to do, it turned out to be to send them food, all the people on the scene had a share, one person had two mooncakes, the residents of the north, later they could also go to the yamen to receive two boxes of moon cakes with household registration, this is the Mid-Autumn Festival reward given by the emperor to everyone, and it also officially set the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 as the festival of the imperial court bathing, everyone can eat moon cakes, admire the moon to celebrate.

Then, the meat show came, and under the leadership of a group of people under the Wang family and the Cui family, the sound of a tsunami-like thanksgiving sounded on the playing field, and a huge long silk with countless names signed was quickly passed to the high platform by the crowd and unfolded.

No one would think about who would bring such a big piece of silk cloth to the competition venue to watch the game.

No one would consider how tens of thousands of people could sign their names on this long silk cloth in just a few moments.

They only felt that the content written on this long silk cloth was very correct.

We should keep the emperor to live in Shanyang for a few more days, and the people of Shanyang are willing to contribute money and efforts to build a palace for the emperor in Shanyang, and ask the emperor to come to Shanyang to live for a period of time every year.

"Your Majesty, this is the will of the people, and it is the common wish of hundreds of thousands of people in the Northland, and I ask Your Majesty to allow it." Fang Xuanling and Sun Xiangfu played to Li Shimin like a rehearsal.

"Your Majesty Asks for ······"

"Your Majesty, please allow it to ······"

Fang Xuanling and Sun Xiangfu had a fight, and then there were courtiers, and then there were all the people in the competition venue, wave after wave, who could refuse this posture.

Anyway, no matter how others feel, at this moment, Li Shimin's heart is like eating an elixir, ready to rise with the wind at any time and soar to 90,000 miles.

Using other people's money to make moon cakes, earning such a large vote of the people's hearts, and getting a magnificent palace in vain, how can the word 'cool' be described.

Soon, everything worked according to the pre-designed routine, Sun Xiangfu zoned a large reserve land next to the government affairs district in the north of the city as the land for the emperor's palace, and there was no need to recruit workers, tens of thousands of people ran here every day, and they didn't want to eat, and they brought their own tools, so they asked the people of the construction team what work they could do.

Moreover, this is not the main thing, more people are holding a handful of copper coins and running to the construction site to ask, how to donate the money to the emperor, so that he can use it to buy building materials for the construction of the palace, or buy belongings in the palace, this situation once disrupted the construction of the professional construction team.

For this reason, Chu Suiliang had to send some people to the construction site to explain to these people, and he had to tell them in a foolish way that the donations for the construction of the palace had reached hundreds of thousands, and they couldn't be used up at all, so they had to bring the money back by themselves.

No way, don't fool, they will really put down the money and leave.

People in this period, as long as they don't really can't open the pot, they are still more grateful to the emperor who brought them a good life, because the emperor in front of them is too fucked, and it hurts to compare. People like Liu Dawang can't make money, so they can only bring the people in the village to contribute.

There are many Han people like him, and they all remember that it was the emperor Li Shimin, and it was the governor of Dadu, Sun Xiangfu, who made them come here in a year of great disaster, and in just one or two years, they solved the problem of food and clothing, and even achieved prosperity, which is much better than Yang Guang's guy who exploited the people with cool methods.

Therefore, Li Shimin's palace was built very quickly, tens of thousands of people worked at the site, digging the foundation, and it only took two or three days to complete, Sun Xiangfu estimated that if he came to Shanyang again next year, he would be able to live in this luxurious palace, because the Wang Cui family invested a total of 300,000 yuan! Most of this money was taken by Sun Xiangfu to the major workshops in Shanyang to do research and production of emerging building materials.

Of course, the construction of a palace for the emperor can only be regarded as a hot spot among the people of Shanyang, but the real hot spot that the upper class is concerned about is on a news recently released by the Cui family.

The Wang family actually negotiated with the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate to exchange the fertile land in the customs for the barren grassland outside the customs, and one acre was only exchanged for two acres?

Not only the court, but also the clan elders of the major families, when they received the news, they were also a little confused, and they began to hold emergency meetings to analyze the intentions of the Wang family.

Then, within two days, under the new news that Cui Ti kept revealed, they finally knew Sun Xiangfu's overall plan, then, combined with the upcoming implementation of the citizenship system, the labor protection law and the full implementation of the new tax system, everyone finally knew the purpose of the Wang family.

Then, fighting for the situation of the Wang family, the clan elders of the major families had to hold a joint meeting, and the Cui family participated, so Sun Xiangfu's benefits of using the Cui family as a shadow son were reflected, because they could help influence the wind direction of the meeting.

The families on whether to enter the dormant period, discussed for three days, only to get a relatively unified result, now, the Tang Dynasty military is too strong, the Turks were destroyed, Xue Yantuo surrendered, and behaved deferentially, the four northeast departments, but also the wind surrendered, the northern Guanwai land, is no longer the same as before, is an enclave that the Central Plains regime can not control, on the contrary, after it is developed, it is a piece of fertile soil that produces much more than the Central Plains land.

At this time, entering the dormant period, showing respect to the emperor will not only keep the family stable, but also get more benefits in the future, why not?

Therefore, when Sun Xiangfu was about to leave for Chang'an, they received a joint invitation from several families, which was an important moment for the five surnames and seven families to make a decision, and Sun Xiangfu had to stay and negotiate things with them in person.
