Sun Xiangfu was not in a hurry to see the results of Wu Meiniang's drumming, he roughly understood the meaning of Li Shimin handing over these little princes to his own training, the Tang Dynasty does not need careerists, especially this kind of careerists with the status of princes, and Sun Xiangfu is basically the most ambitious person in the Tang Dynasty, he is not even keen on developing his family into development, or inheriting his own knowledge exclusively.

Therefore, Li Shimin wants to use Sun Xiangfu's character to influence these children who have gradually begun to be sensible, and it can be seen from this that he is currently very satisfied with Li Chengqian, the heir.

Moreover, not only he was satisfied, but most of the princes of the Manchu Dynasty were also satisfied, because Li Chengqian showed a more mature and generous side than most thirteen or fourteen-year-old young people in the court, and this was a temperament that he naturally formed after experiencing dozens of occupations and experiencing more things.

In the Tang Dynasty, men of his age are actually adults, Li Shimin is almost married to the eldest grandson queen at this age, so his marriage has recently been the focus of controversy in the court, this is not about Sun Xiangfu who is far away in Shannan Province, he just knows that Li Shimin will go to Shanyang after the summer grain harvest in Guanzhong, and will leave Li Chengqian in Chang'an for the first time, that is to say, Li Chengqian can not personally participate in the world's first sports event that he has been looking forward to.

Sun Xiangfu will definitely participate, and at that time, the governors of various state roads in Datang will lead their sports teams to participate, and there is not only one official team in Shannan Province.

Since the end of the Han Dynasty, Jingzhou has been a place where families gather, and there are many second- and third-rate families, and these families basically have no strength to fight for power in the court now, but they care very much about fame and fortune.

After Sun Xiangfu and Wu Shi Tong came to the hall of the farmhouse, they first talked to him about the work, and the first thing Wu Shi Tong said was the matter of the three teams in the Shannan Province area.

"Cai, Huang, and Deng each united the rest of their neighborhoods to form a state-level sports team, and they also recruited talents in various states and counties, but they recruited many people."

If this matter is just a sports team organized by local heroes to participate in the sports conference held by the state, then Wu Shitong will not be the first to take it out and talk about it, you know, he has served in Shannan Province for two years, mainly to cater to Li Shimin's political thoughts, crack down on local heroes, and lead the people at the bottom to get rich.

Sun Xiangfu understood the meaning of his words, and said, "They have realized some problems, and now, those farmers who farm for them can easily find a higher income and stable job, and they have left their hands, they must be in a hurry, and they want to make some noise, with higher salaries, recruit some people to their own doors, and help them produce." ”

Wu Shi Tong nodded and said, "Exactly, from last year to this year, the number of people from all the prefectures of Shannan Province who went to Guanzhong or joined the industries led by the Ministry of Commerce exceeded 200,000 young people, and more than half of these people were separated from the employees of their respective families.

Moreover, after the end of the imperial court's war against Goguryeo, the people of the whole country breathed a sigh of relief, and the price of grain in the Shannan Province area fell to a low price of 80 wen per stone, and the value of the output of their fields became smaller. ”

This year's grain price in Chang'an, only about 100 wen per stone, the local price is even lower, especially in Jingxiang, which is rich in crops in this area, 80 wen and 1 stone, that is because the imperial court needs a larger grain expenditure on all sides, and it is stabilized by purchasing with regular liquidation, if it is not for Datang to take down the surrounding places in advance, the price of grain may be lower than the price of 50 or 60 wen per stone in this period in history, because Datang's current grain output is nearly twice as high as in history.

When those who go to Weinan and work in the industries developed by the Ministry of Commerce and the lives of their family members will open up a greater gap between the lives of the hired workers under their families, and when the income and living standards of these people who have left them will become better and better, and the economic value of the fields and industries of each family will become lower because I have grown more productive rice, not to mention the hired workers under them, that is, the children of their own clan. will also not be able to stand the repeated reduction, so as to expel the family, at that time, it is basically time for us to completely eradicate these local forces. ”

Problems that can be solved by economic means, Sun Xiangfu has never been willing to use a knife to solve, in this world, no one will willingly endure poverty, those children of the family, the reason why they will be loyal to the family, is because in the past, the family was able to safeguard and protect their interests.

When this model is reversed, obeying the call of the family, and can only barely make ends meet, leaving the family, but can achieve prosperity and freedom, will they still hold on to the family's legs?

This is a big game of chess played by Sun Xiangfu against local forces, including the introduction of capital investment in the family, so that the people in power of the family can enjoy the benefits, so as to gradually ignore the role of their clan's manpower.

When the benefits of investment are far greater than the benefits brought to them by these basic labor forces, their focus will be on capital investment, and a head of a family only needs to earn a lot of benefits through his own investment, and he is still willing to share the money he earns with other family members who have not made much effort in the whole process?

Even if they wanted to, they would lose some respect for these people, because the family's profits now don't need to rely heavily on them to obtain them, which is a very real problem.

This phenomenon will create some opportunities for Sun Xiangfu to break the situation, and alienating the relationship between the descendants of the family and other ordinary members is just one of the steps.

"Zhengming's plan is linked one by one, so that they can't even find the reason why they are getting more and more embarrassed, it's really clever, you will succeed you as the governor of Shannan Province, the old man is 10,000 rest assured, now all kinds of things here have been straightened out, official business is not busy, if there is something, the state officials will directly send messengers to send the copy, you can study rice planting here with peace of mind, however, the things that the old man handed over to you are simple, and the things you handed over to the old man, but I am afraid it will be difficult, you try to say it in detail, the key positionLet me take some notes. ”

If the state governor of the Tang Dynasty was so busy, it would not be led by many ministers in Chang'an, and in the absence of any catastrophe or war, it was basically the governor of each state, and he would deal with the four or five of them by himself.

Just like when Sun Xiangfu was in charge of the capital of Anbei before, after the assassins of the counties were appointed, he only needed to take a look at the situation they had summarized and grasp the general direction, just like the Shannan Province area after the samurai Tong straightened out, every month, he only needed to approve some routine official documents, and he was interested, and he went to the states to inspect it, and even, the imperial court could completely dispense with this official position.

As for the matter of road construction, Sun Xiangfu has a variety of industrial construction talents, when he came, he surveyed, put forward some opinions that he could think of, and then completely handed over to his subordinates to do, at most when the time comes, just go through the accounts, but this investment exploration limited company, Sun Xiangfu is only afraid to talk to Wu Shi Tong for three days and three nights, and he can't finish it.

So, he suggested that Wu Shi Tong should not rush to Chang'an first, stay here for a few more days, and talk about things more thoroughly before setting off, which caused a problem, the room arranged by Wu Shi Tong in the village was arranged according to the number of Sun Xiangfu and his party, and now, two groups of people have to live here, but this is just a village! How much space can there be?

"Otherwise, the old man will take people to other villages to spend the night." Sun Xiangfu chatted with Wu Shi Tong for two or three hours, and after a simple dinner with some fish, meat and vegetables prepared in the village, he proposed.

"No need, I'll ask you to combine the rooms of several princes and make room for you." Sun Xiangfu waved his hand at the warrior Tong who was about to get up, and immediately summoned Zhang Ke to arrange this matter.

However, the samurai Tong felt that something was wrong, and persuaded, "The rooms in these village houses are not big, how can you let the princes live in one room, or ······?"

"Hehe, you can rest assured, I do this for a reason, at their age, it is the time to establish a correct concept of life, if they have been allowed to live a life of clothes to stretch out their hands and food to open their mouths, they may be a waste for the rest of their lives, Your Majesty handed them over to me for training, I just don't want to see them become a bunch of rice worms who will only consume people's fat and people's cream."

As soon as Sun Xiangfu finished saying this, Zhang Ke went and returned, and reported, "Grandpa, the princes don't agree, and they are making trouble. ”

The title of 'grandfather' is the new name given to him by the people in the house after the dissolution of the Metropolitan Protectorate of Anbei, especially Zhang Ke, who married the maid of the mansion as his own wife, of course, this is also the reason why Sun Xiangfu really doesn't like the 'old' word of the master.

As for the court, except for a few top bigwigs who will shout Sun Xiangfu's words, most lower-level officials will call Sun Xiangfu's current highest official title, Sun Shaoshi.

Most of the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture called him Sun Shangshu directly at Sun Xiangfu's request, so that he could distinguish who was his subordinate and who was someone else's subordinate, after all, now, the number of courtiers was too much, and Sun Xiangfu could not remember everyone's identity.

"Disagree? At this point, where can it be their turn to disagree, gather them to me, I will give a lecture, and in the future, if I give orders, you can directly tell the servants who are in charge of taking care of them, and they will definitely carry them out. ”

The so-called inner servants are actually secret guards who obey orders, and Sun Xiangfu has Li Shimin's holy will, so they naturally need to obey Sun Xiangfu absolutely.

Soon, many princes gathered in the middle of the courtyard under the leadership of their respective chamberlains, and Sun Xiangfu specially called the guards to carry the box of leather whips that Li Shimin gave him to discipline these princes to the courtyard.

Seeing this box, including Li Tai, Li Ke, who had originally planned to listen to Sun Xiangfu's arrangement, also trembled in his heart, but they were more expecting Sun Xiangfu to use this whip, after all, there has never been a courtier in Datang who dares to whip the prince.

"Do you think you've come here to enjoy the idyllic life? That would be a big mistake.

You are here to learn to be a farmer and to experience the life of a low-level peasant people. This is a painstaking effort by Your Majesty in order to make you grow into a useful person for the country.

In order to complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty, I don't mind if you hate me, or scold me for being the Great Demon King, your innate status as a prince makes you not know what obedience and respect are, and you don't know that as a person, there are many basic problems that you have to face in life.

Therefore, from today on, you must not only start to learn the knowledge of farming, but also deal with your own life problems and adapt to the daily life environment of most people in the Tang Dynasty······
