The number of herdsmen and livestock who rushed to Shanyang for the winter was somewhat beyond Sun Xiangfu's expectations, because the original construction of those greenhouses was not enough, and it was too late to burn bricks to repair the houses, Sun Xiangfu simply organized everyone to dig holes in the ground under the leeward slopes, the floor heating was enough so that the cattle and sheep would not be frozen to death, and the excavated soil was built into a series of not high earthen walls, plus wooden tripod beams, covered with pasture, it was a simple low house, but this kind of house is not used to live in people, but to grow vegetables.

In winter, as long as it is not compacted by thick snow, those vegetables planted in Guanzhong can also be planted in Shanyang, this kind of roof made of grass can block snow, earthen walls can block strong winds, and when the weather is fine, you can easily remove the grass on the roof and let the vegetables bask in the sun.

The scribes in charge of civil affairs in the Metropolitan Protectorate were very busy, they had to issue household registration certificates to hundreds or thousands of herdsmen every day, and the names were even more painful to take, what Zhao 100, Qian 200, Sun 300 all appeared, until the end of September, when the sky was snowing, all the busyness came to an end.

Looking at the household registration book of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, Sun Xiangfu was very pleased, with more than 93,000 households and a population of more than 327,000. Of course, the more than 300,000 people are not all Turkic people who have returned to the grassland, and there are nearly 100,000 serfs from the Guangwang clan and serfs from other families who have recently moved over, and the ratio of Hu to Han is about two to one.

In this city where there are more Hu people than Han people, Han dialect has gradually become the mainstream, because after the heavy snow falls, everyone has to be in the city, what are they doing?

First of all, some people were recruited by the major workshops in Shanyang, Yu Chi Baolin's blacksmith workshop directly recruited 3,000 people, Wang Fu's wood workshop, recruited 5,000 people, and then there were leather goods processing workshops, food processing workshops, coal, charcoal furnace processing workshops, etc., etc., first of all, the young men who were not serfs from the family were recruited.

Now, Sun Xiangfu not only has a lot of money on hand, but also a lot of resources, the family has no way to compete with him, because the herdsmen have to feed cattle and sheep, and they need a lot of pasture, Sun Xiangfu organized a thousand people to mow the grass before, hoarding a large amount of forage in the city, only to go to the workshop under Sun Xiangfu's name to work, only to send forage to you, but the family has no such preparation, the herdsmen will not only recognize money at this time.

These Turks first had to learn to follow Chinese instructions in workshops dominated by a small number of Han Chinese, and their children were concentrated in several major places dedicated to teaching Chinese, and it is said that as long as the children learned Chinese, they could also earn money in the city, and those places where Chinese were taught would give the children food, at least one bag cake and a bowl of hot and fragrant mutton soup to drink every day.

With such benefits, fools don't let the children go!

"Zhou Chun, overcome the difficulties, build some more houses for backup, if my expectations are not bad, the beggar servant will also bring his people to Shanyang."

Now as long as Sun Xiangfu goes out, he will always follow a few people, and go to that side, and the person in charge of the affairs on that side has to come out to listen to the order, Zhou Chun's housing construction team has not stopped for a whole year, however, the speed of building houses has always been unable to catch up with the growth rate of the people under Sun Xiangfu's rule, more than 30,000 sets of houses have all been loaned and sold, and more than 10,000 new ones have been allocated by Sun Xiangfu in an instant, at present, there are more than 10,000 herdsmen living in their tents, Fortunately, there were enough kettles and coal stoves in the workshop, and they worked overtime day and night to make enough stock to ensure that the temperature in the tents was much higher than when they were in the grassland.

"It's not difficult, it's not the coldest time here, the brothers are all working, and I have added three thousand, more than 10,000 people, as long as the materials keep up, hundreds of houses can still be built a day."

Zhou Chun replied, Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Well, it's not easy to work on a cold day, and in the future, whenever it snows, the brothers' wages will rise by fifty percent, and there will be meat for the meal." ”

"Meat? We don't have so many cows and sheep to eat! Zhou Chun was a little stunned, he knew that Sun Xiangfu was rich now, and the piece he managed by himself gradually began to have income, but money could not enlarge the number of materials, and there was a fixed number of cattle and sheep.

Sun Xiangfu looked at Zhou Chun, who was stunned, and said with a smile, "Cattle and sheep will naturally be sent to you, we are good at Yang, we don't need so many herdsmen, and those bantam sheep and yaks that are not strong enough have to be killed and eaten meat, so that the herdsmen's cattle and sheep can maintain the advantage of seedlings and feed them with half the effort." ”

Raising cattle and sheep and raising pigs actually have the same reason to be found, tall, sturdy cattle and sheep, the offspring bred are more willing to grow, and healthier, by this large concentration of cattle and sheep on the grassland, Sun Xiangfu just gave these herdsmen the cattle and sheep in the hands of a population optimization, in the future, once a year, survival of the fittest, of course, the number of cattle and sheep that were eaten, may not be more than these herdsmen who froze to death on the grassland in the past, once the cattle and sheep do not have the worry of freezing to death, the speed of reproduction is very fast.

In later generations, a family on the grassland could casually raise hundreds of cattle and sheep, with the population of Shanyang, how many cattle and sheep did they digest in a year? Divide 10,000 households to raise sheep, slaughter millions of heads a year, enough for everyone to eat meat, after all, the growth cycle of sheep is about half a year, if as Sun Xiangfu knows, use forage to make fermented feed, feed beef cattle and sheep, the proportion of meat will be much more than the traditional free-range sheep in this period, cattle can be slaughtered in a year.

In terms of breeding, Sun Xiangfu has actually been recruiting experienced herdsmen to do research, the future of Shanyang, captivity will be a large area instead of stocking, and, in addition to meat, milk, wool, will also be a higher value-added supporting industry of animal husbandry.

These herders, with the help of researchers from several happy villages, will gradually improve the industry.

Of course, there are not only cattle and sheep on the grassland, but also horses, horses as a necessary armament for this period, is a thing that the imperial court attaches great importance to, Li Shimin handed over such a large piece of grassland to Sun Xiangfu, it is impossible not to ask him for the number of war horses, at least 10,000 war horses are provided for the imperial court every year, this is a dead rule.

In this regard, Sun Xiangfu has of course dealt with it a long time ago, he never does things just to complete the task, and being able to exceed the quota and super quality is his style.

The racecourse will help him select the best horse breeds on the grassland, these strongest horses will eventually become the king of horses who are professionally responsible for breeding, Sun Xiangfu will not only raise a large number of horses himself, but also let those families who get the second-class land also raise horses, the added value of the horse business is much higher than that of cattle and sheep, a good horse, in Chang'an, can sell ten cattle in minutes, the price of dozens of sheep, this kind of benefit, fools can not see.

Therefore, in the future, there will be no shortage of horses in the Tang Dynasty, and because there are too many horses, the price will go all the way down, so that the cost of forming cavalry troops in the imperial court will also be reduced.

and Zhou Chun, Sun Xiangfu actually can't talk about animal husbandry, accompanied by him, Sun Xiangfu came to the workshop area, and then there was nothing for him.

Tang Fengyi, a money-greedy ghost, is now appointed by Sun Xiangfu as the head of Shanyang Industrial Zone, and only Sun Xiangfu thought of sending a money-greedy person to be the director.

"Old Tang, the manpower has been doubled for you recently, and there should be a lot of things to come out!"

"It's more, it's a little more, but it's not much."

"How much more?"

"On the farm tool side, there are 300 rakes each day, and on the furniture side, there are more than 50 sets a day!"

"Three hundred? More than fifty sets? How do I remember, when I didn't send someone to you, I worked overtime, and I could almost reach this number. Sun Xiangfu looked at Tang Fengyi in disbelief.

"Hey, who told these people you sent are not allowed to beat, and they are not allowed to scold, he still doesn't understand our words very well, sawing wood is sawed off, the masters are afraid that they will waste wood, many times let them watch from the side." Tang Fengyi complained helplessly.

Carpentry work, for the people on the grassland, is really a novelty that they have never seen much, they usually can't even see a few pieces of iron, and they can't find a few pieces in the woods, where they will fiddle with these things!

"No, just teach! If you do a good job in advance, you must first sharpen your tools, and you have 30 people working for a month, and you don't have as many things as 3,000 people can do in a day, so ah! You have to grasp the key point, let the masters stop work first, specialize in teaching, the sawing is specially taught sawing, the chisel is specially taught to chisel, everyone learns the same, and after that, they will do the same work, this is simple, a few years ago, the major families had hundreds of thousands of serfs to the Anbei Duhufu territory, how many farm tools do they need? How much furniture? It's all money! ”

"Hundreds of thousands of serfs?"

Hearing this data, even Tang Fengyi, who understands the strength of the family, was a little stunned, Sun Xiangfu's action this time can be regarded as pulling all the family's hidden slaves again, and in the future, these hermits will be exposed to the sun and begin to pay taxes for the Tang Dynasty, of course, this is only the first step, later, Sun Xiangfu will find a way to restore their freedom, but it is very difficult to do this, Sun Xiangfu still needs to wait for the opportunity and operate slowly.

Money is a word that can move Tang Fengyi's brain, he is not a stupid person, Sun Xiangfu only needs to do a little dialing, he thought of the key, in fact, will make a plow, or a rake of the process of dismantling all the dismantling, and then arrange the production in order, it is the assembly line operation, this is the Qin Dynasty has been invented process, but mostly used for the production of military products, in the current era, there are many classics can be seen, Tang Fengyi, is the person who has read this kind of classics.
