If you think that you need how many catties of seeds are needed for an acre of cumin field, like Wang Xu, it is a big mistake, the seeds of an acre of rice are only one catty! Cumin is less than half a catty, about three or four taels, in the whole field, after the seeds are evenly dispersed, and then sprinkle one to two centimeters of fine sand on the surface of the seeds, the whole sowing process is completed, cumin is drought resistant and afraid of waterlogging, as long as the drainage ditch between the ridges is good, the general harvest is not bad.

800,000 acres of land, Sun Xiangfu only used less than 2,000 stone of seeds to complete the sowing, the market price of the seeds added up to more than 200,000 yuan, this transaction, he is equivalent to earning Wang Xu more than 1 million yuan, of course, the planting technology is not counted.

Sun Xiangfu watched the planting of 800,000 acres of land very carefully, first, for fear that the farmers would plant too much and waste their money. The second is that in this era, the first time such a large-scale planting of cumin, in order to ensure that the planted things can grow smoothly and have a good harvest, Sun Xiangfu asked the requirements to be very fine, and the fields were unqualified, and he asked to reorganize them, and it took more than half a month to complete the sowing.

In this half a month, the grain of the Wang family was also transported to Shuozhou one after another, there was grain in the warehouse, and the hearts of the people also settled down. These fields have been dried for half a month, and it is time for sowing, and the seeds are some varieties that Zhao Long collected from the coastal zone, mostly cloves, as well as roses, jasmine, lavender, narcissus, etc. In addition, Sun Xiangfu also collected a lot of European flower seeds from Hu Shang in the Western Regions of Chang'an, and it was basically not difficult to plant, although the people didn't understand why Sun Xiangfu planted these things, but after getting the food he allocated to everyone, he didn't say anything.

In late May, Sun Xiangfu, who had been busy in the fields for two months, finally had time to go back to Mayi to accompany his wife, and after a few days in the mansion, he decided to take Yu Xiu'er out for a walk.

As soon as she got out of Mayi and entered the realm of Shanyang, Yu Xiu'er saw a sea of colorful flowers, and the whole air was filled with fragrant smells.

"W, why is this so beautiful······

Women love flowers, and when they are in a sea of flowers, their pleasure index tends to be high.

"I knew you would like it, in order to thank you for your tireless efforts to accompany me to this bitter cold place, I planted this sea of flowers for you."

In fact, due to the late planting time, the field is only some flowers with a short growth cycle in full bloom, if you wait for another half a month to a month, it is really a sea of flowers, however, an ancient, it is difficult to see what 10,000 acres of rose gardens, tens of thousands of acres of flower fields blooming at the same time, yes, these flowers, gorgeous flashed to Yu Xiuer's eyes, even spring peaches and red plums, are clamoring to paint here.

"Hehe, this is nothing, when you get to the head of Shanyang City, you look into the distance, the feeling of purple and red is called beauty, and now the people call our Shanyang City Flower City!" Sun Xiangfu said a little proudly.

The name of Shanyang's flower has spread out with the blooming of the first batch of flowers, and the next step, Sun Xiangfu will do some more modern planning for the city, because there are not many places to take care of the flower fields, so the construction of houses in Shanyang City has already begun, neat brick houses, flat cement floors, centralized construction of drainage channels, septic tanks, which is the basis for keeping the city clean.

Along the Sanggan River, neat guardrails will be built, and there will be some water-friendly platforms for washing vegetables and clothes. Every 500 steps, a stone arch bridge will be built for merchant ships to pass through, giving the whole city a taste of the Jiangnan of the later generations, of course, these things are still under construction and will take one to two years to perfect.

In Sun Xiangfu's positioning, this city should be a city dominated by commerce and tourism services, after all, more than 20,000 households here, really used in farming, not even half, in the future, the city will build a large number of restaurants, inns, bathhouses and a variety of entertainment venues. After that, there is a commercial street consisting of shops selling various goods, which requires a large number of people to maintain daily maintenance, and these people who have seen the prosperity of the customs can come in handy.

The reason why Sun Xiangfu positioned the city as a city of commerce and trade is also because of its unique location, which is close to all the grasslands, once goods such as salted fish and bean paste, sugar, and even iron pots, ironware, and cotton cloth start to be sold here, there is no need to worry about those merchants who go outside the customs to buy goods nearby.

For this reason, Sun Xiangfu also invested in the big blacksmith shop opened by Yu Chi Baolin, if Li Shimin unified the grassland tribes as in history, this will undoubtedly be the paradise of all the people of Waihu, this may be the only historical knowledge of this period that Sun Xiangfu knows, so as to bring him some forward-looking advantages!

The carriage entered the city gate, and on both sides of the wide cement road, there were busy construction sites everywhere, and of course, there was also an area that had been built a long time ago, and the plaque reads 'Shanyang Marquis Mansion'.

This house is naturally not as big as the Sun Mansion in Mayi City, but this is a house in the fief of Sun Xiangfu Shiyi, which has a special significance for the five hundred households of Sun Xiangfu Shiyi, and in the future, this is the place to manage the people of Shiyi.

Therefore, when Yu Xiu'er, the main mother, arrived, everyone was gathered by Uncle De to pay homage to the house.

"Husband, although they are wearing Hanfu, how do the concubines feel a little like Hu Ren!" Yu Xiu'er, who was sitting in the position of the main mother, was worshiped by the tenants and whispered in Sun Xiangfu's ear.

"Hehe, they are all half-bearded and half-Han locals, but my husband thinks that their appearance characteristics can just help our family's business open up the situation." Sun Xiangfu looked at the tenants who had changed their clothes and looked like people.

"The husband is now a marquis, and he still has the official position of a governor, why do you still think about doing business in your head! If this is impeached by the ministers of the DPRK and China, there will be a lot of things, isn't the concubine ready to cut off the relationship with Wangjianglou······"

"What Madame said is very true, doesn't the husband just want to hand over the property at hand to the next person to take care of, these days, I have to bother Madame to pick out some people with good eloquence and arithmetic talent among them to teach, and the husband will handle business registration for them."

Shinong industry and commerce, the status of businessmen is the lowest, but there are still many people who are willing to do business, because businessmen are easy to make money, easy to eat full, in front of a full meal, no one cares about the status and face, only when those businessmen earn enough money, will think of face-saving things, it is also a kind of behavior that has nothing to do when they are full.

Sun Xiangfu is a descendant, he believes that as long as he does not discriminate against himself, no one can discriminate against himself, and he is no different from an idiot if he doesn't earn the benefits that he can earn. If it weren't for the fact that he helped earn so many benefits, where would Li Shimin be so easy now.

Seeing that Sun Xiangfu didn't want to give up the interests of commerce, Yu Xiu'er couldn't say anything, all the nobles would raise some such people to take care of the industry for themselves, Yu Xiu'er couldn't have to ask Sun Xiangfu to give up these interests, and, seeing Sun Xiangfu's expression when he said this, there were obviously other meanings in it, so Yu Xiu'er had to respond temporarily, and then find a way to let Sun Xiangfu say it thoroughly.

However, Sun Xiangfu was wrong, Li Shimin is not having an easy time now, the time has entered midsummer, and the locust plague in Guanzhong has inevitably broken out. Not only that, but along with the locust plague came the plague.

"Oh no, no, something big happened in Chang'an······"

Just as Sun Xiangfu and his family were discussing the next development of their family, Li Chunfeng ran in from outside the door with a pigeon.

"Daochang Li, what's going on?" Although he knows that Li Chunfeng is in Shanyang, Sun Xiangfu hasn't seen him for a long time recently, maybe he is too busy to take care of him!

"Guanzhong, there is a locust plague in Guanzhong, locusts are overwhelming, you can eat whatever you see, there is also a plague in Weinan County, all the people in several market towns are infected with smallpox, half of the county is dying, and now Your Majesty has issued an order to block the entire Weinan ······"

Li Chunfeng only needs to describe it, some pictures are generated in Sun Xiangfu's mind, and Yu Xiuer and Uncle De covered their mouths in fright.

"I said, why didn't Daochang Sun come to Shuozhou to study medicine with me! It turned out that he was stumped by the matter of Chang'an······"

Li Chunfeng was still talking endlessly, but Sun Xiangfu recruited a guard to say, "Hurry up and go to Luoyang, wait on the dock, and let the Lingnan fleet wait for me to arrive before setting off." ”

"Daochang Li, there is something I have to trouble you to do immediately, and I will leave later and meet you in Happy Village."

The good situation in Guanzhong was not easy to come by, Sun Xiangfu didn't want to be ruined like this, just now, he remembered the damn butterfly effect, the outbreak of the plague in Weinan, did it happen in history?

He didn't dare to bet that Weinan was too close to Chang'an, a metropolis with a population of one million, and if the epidemic could not be controlled, then the entire Datang might be destroyed under a plague, but he happened to know the way to prevent smallpox.

Sun Xiangfu was whispering to Li Chunfeng, and Yu Xiu'er opened her mouth to remind, "Husband, you are now an official of the imperial court, and you are not allowed to leave without permission." ”

"It's all at this time, where can I take care of it, it's important to save people, Daochang Li, this matter is very important, I will entrust it to you, Jun buy, what about people! Where is the death, hurry up and summon the county commanders for me, and the generals above the commander of the unity battalion and brigade will arrive, and I want to have a meeting······"

Yu Xiu'er did not have any resentment because Sun Xiangfu ignored her reminder, but made her see more clearly what kind of person her husband is, it is a plague, a devil who will die if he touches it, in front of this devil, he has always been greedy for life and afraid of death, but he did not hesitate and decided to come forward.

"Husband, if you have to go back to Chang'an at this time, then let the concubine go back with you!"

Yu Xiu'er, who is only fifteen years old, is not as mature as Sun Xiangfu, she just impulsively feels that even if she dies, the two of them should die together, so she tightly grabbed Sun Xiangfu's sleeve.

"Oh my baby, don't make a mess with it, what can you do to help, or help me take care of the family business here!" It's all my work! The matter in Guanzhong, a piece of cake, watch my husband and I turn our hands, kill the locusts, dispel the plague, and call the world clear and ······ from now on"

Sun Xiangfu's pretended to be relaxed did not comfort Yu Xiu'er, the more he said it easily, the more Yu Xiu'er felt the danger of Chang'an.

Women, often like this, you can't reason with her, or even tell the truth, she will always follow her own feelings, reverse understanding, so there are those men who can coax women in later generations are born, but unfortunately Sun Xiangfu is not this hanging, he really wants to return to Chang'an quickly and save the world.
