Everything in the drama theater is new to the people of Xue Yantuo's department, as long as there is a performance, it will definitely become the most lively place in Shanyang City, especially those families who have a lot of money and have nowhere to spend it, they all love to gather here.

It was a big event for Yi Nan's people to enter Shanyang City, and to Sun Xiangfu's surprise, the sons of the families who spent the winter in Shanyang City actually wanted to see him very much.

At the door of the theater, Sun Xiangfu and his family got off the carriage, and they saw Wang Xu, who was dressed in a fiery red mink fur, and at this moment, he had already met the Yi Nan who got off the carriage in front of him and saluted each other.

"Yo, they're still old acquaintances, but it's interesting."

Sun Xiangfu broke a sentence, and stepped forward side by side with Yu Xiu'er, and Wang Xu, who had a greeting with Yi Nan, also looked at him.

"Brother Zhengming, there is a distinguished guest to visit, but Wang is not invited to accompany him, it is really not interesting!"

"Look at your appearance, you seem to be more familiar than me, don't fake a joke, talk inside!"

Sun Xiangfu bowed his hand and Wang Xu saw the salute, and walked to the theater with the flow of people, as for Yu Xiuer and Dongzhu, as today's directors and performance guests, they have already gone to the staff channel and went to the backstage.

Among the people from the five surnames and seven families, there are many sons-in-law, and there are eldest sons with higher seniorities like Lu Wenzhong, but he doesn't think that today's protagonist is Wang Xu or Sun Xiangfu, so he walked side by side with Yi Nan and began to chat.

Sun Xiangfu, who was half a step behind, asked Wang Xu in a low voice, "What's going on?" ”

"It's not obvious yet? The business system you have in Shanyang City has already violated the interests of several of us, but we all need you to help us open up the land outside the customs now, so we can't move you for the time being, so we have to find other profit points. ”

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu raised his eyebrows, and suddenly understood a little.

Before Shanyang City was built, the business of the various tribes of the grassland was controlled by these big families in the north, with the Taiyuan Wang clan and the Fanyang Lu clan trading the most with the Turks and Xue Yantuo tribes, and several other families also had a lot of business in this area, but each had its own focus, Qinghe Cui and Boling Cui were mainly Silla, Baekje, Goguryeo, Xiabu, Khitan and so on in the east.

The Li clan in Longxi is the Tuyuhun tribe in the northwest, the Qiang tribe, and the Zheng clan in Xingyang and the Li clan in Zhaojun, which are more in the middle, are in all aspects.

What Dongzhu said before, the people who earned Xue Yantuo's money with more than ten times the benefits were roughly them.

Now, Shanyang is shipping a large number of various goods abroad at low prices, which will inevitably lead to a decrease in the original transactions with them, and as Shanyang's situation opens, their interests in this area will become less and less.

However, compared with the benefits of this kind of trade and the great cause of farming, it is still far behind, because in the case of Sun Xiangfu, a person who can help each family farm, is in charge of Shanyang, each family also knows how to make trade-offs, after all, a large part of the shops in Shanyang City are opened by them, and the turnover is large, and they also make money.

But after the centralized opening of shops, competition with each other, price war is unavoidable, which leads to the increasingly low price of goods sold in Shanyang City, which can be regarded as some benefits brought to everyone after Sun Xiangfu introduced them to vicious competition.

"What, what did you like about Xue Yantuo?"

"O population! Yi Nan now claims to the public that there are 200,000 people in the Xue Yantuo Department and a population of more than one million, I think, even if there is not one million, it is not far behind! Most of the Turks have been collected by you to Shanyang to be the people of the Tang Dynasty, Xue Yantuo, you should always let us get some population to supplement the lack of labor! ”

When Wang Xu said this, Sun Xiangfu suddenly understood. The five surnamed seven families have taken so much land, plus their original land, even if they have acquired some serfs from small and medium-sized families, they are still somewhat insufficient, and now that Jieli has been destroyed, the entire Monan region is under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and the land sold by Sun Xiangfu is less than one-fifth of the entire area! In case, Sun Xiangfu will launch a larger-scale land auction in the future, and they must have the strength to continue to expand.

The sons of the family have their own think tanks, and they are very shrewd, but Sun Xiangfu prefers to see that there are no bones left in the bones that they eat for Yi Nan, which is the beauty of his plan.

The contradiction between the court and the family is led to the outside, and now, these sons of the family who are staring at the interests are much more obedient in front of Li Shimin, and this way of external expansion not only does not require the court to contribute people, efforts, and money, but also helps the court earn a lot of money, and after a few years, you can also get a complete set of cities and fields that have been built and developed.

In addition, it can also make the fields in the Central Plains region recuperate, such a strategy, killing multiple birds with one stone, is for good governance, even Li Shimin is greedy. Didn't he let Sun Xiangfu go to Guanzhong to enrich the people before, Sun Xiangfu was naturally bold in his words, and the first knife slashed at Weinan County, which is basically a wasteland.

Sun Xiangfu suggested that all the original things in Weinan County should be demolished and rebuilt, and it should be turned into a huge industrial area, and about half of the people in Guanzhong should be turned into workers, preferably, within five to ten years, so that their production capacity can be reached to produce porcelain, ironware, woodware, clothing, and so on for people all over the world.

Moreover, it is recommended that a large area of farmland in Guanzhong be returned to forests, afforestation along the Yellow River waterstrip, and even more than 90% of the death penalty in the Tang Dynasty should be abolished, and all punishments similar to exile should be changed to labor reform, and the first project of this labor reform is afforestation and road construction.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the flooding of the Yellow River was not serious, especially in the upper reaches, the river water was still relatively clear, if he had made great efforts to do a good job in soil erosion protection, perhaps, he would not have threatened the safety of the people in the entire middle and lower reaches of the region every few years, as the Song Dynasty did a few hundred years later.

Sun Xiangfu is also because in this world, read some history books of the previous dynasty, only to find some problems, before the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Yellow River flooded very few times, at most it was to harm the Shandong region, and the vegetation situation in the upper reaches of Guanzhong He also has some understanding, now it is not so bad, it is possible to make this river more docile through some efforts.

Of course, his concept is a little too advanced, and Li Shimin will not be able to understand it for a while, although he now has some awareness of doing government affairs work in the front, but revising the criminal law is not a matter of one or two days, and we have to slowly study and verify it again, and these are all later words.

After analyzing Wang Xu's words in his heart, Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "This can be had, how can you persuade Yi Nan to have it?" ”

"I knew you would agree, so I didn't plan to hide it from you, no, I want to talk to you."

Wang Xu said casually, but it made Sun Xiangfu feel a little vigilant in his heart, have the sons of the family already figured out the context of their actions? This is not a good sign.

Slightly worried, he entered the drama theater, but found that the best front-row viewing position had been circled, he didn't have such an arrangement before, this is the rhythm of being booked in advance!

Sun Xiangfu, who was invited to the main position in the middle, was a little depressed, but he invited Yi Nan to watch the play, and ordered the drama theater to prepare a day in advance, how did he end up, he looked like a guest.

It seems that the Yangzhou drama team responsible for today's performance is not very reliable, of course, this is not to say that Li Xiangdie is not reliable, the people in the drama team she brought still belong to the four major families in Yangzhou, and there are always some people who are not pure-minded, anyway, the sons of several families in Yangzhou are also present today.

The audience seat of the drama theater is actually no different from the theater of later generations, rows and rows of seats, Sun Xiangfu is Wang Xu on the left hand, Yi Nan on the right, Yi Nan on the right hand is Lu Wenzhong, there are several seats on both sides, all of them are sitting in the sons of five surnames and seven families, as for the second and third rows, there are some sons of other families who want to follow them to make a fortune together, or stewards.

"This Shanyang Drama Theater has just been repaired this year, and in many ways, it can't be compared with the Wangjianglou Drama Stage in Chang'an, but at most a year or two, when the manpower training under the governor is completed, this will be a more professional theater performance venue, and when the leader of Yi Nan spends the winter, he will often come to cheer!"

In later generations, Cantonese film and television dramas and songs spread the culture of the south to the whole country and even the whole of Asia, and this drama performance, in terms of Shanyang in this era, is completely equivalent to the film and television cultural products of Hong Kong Island in later generations, and it can greatly promote the culture of the Tang Dynasty.

It is no wonder that Sun Xiangfu attached great importance to it from the beginning, and Li Shimin in history also attached great importance to it, pacifying the law, choreographing music and dance, and promoting the culture of the Central Plains to foreign peoples.

Sun Xiangfu is also a person who has seen the precedents of later generations, and naturally knows what kind of methods to use, so that they can learn Chinese better and faster and get in touch with Han culture, so a lot of training artists has been done by his subordinates, not only to meet the needs of several branches of Wangjianglou, but also to make it a trump card of cultural aggression.

After Sun Xiangfu explained to him the importance of cultural propaganda, he immediately gave the court musicians a grade, and raised their status to the same level as doctors and painters, and at the same time, the functions and tasks of the teaching workshop department have changed significantly, and they no longer have anything to do with the prostitutes in the Qinglou, their function is to train singing and dancing artists for the imperial court and help the imperial court complete some political tasks.

Because "The Legend of the White Snake" is loved by the whole people, Li Shimin, who prefers to conform to the will of the people, abolished some of the laws on music under the former Sui Emperor Wen Emperor Yang firmly, you know, in ancient times, especially in the Sui Dynasty, not just anyone has the power to play music wantonly and lead the trend.

"Hehe, I'm also curious, what is the drama you are talking about, is it a song and dance performance?" Yi Nan smiled and looked at Sun Xiangfudao.

"You can think of it as a cabaret with a lot of stuff mixed in! But when it comes to cabaret performances, today's opening cabaret show is specially prepared for you by Sister Lingdongzhu! ”

Sun Xiangfu's tone made Yi Nan look forward to Dongzhu's performance a little more.

However, since this event, which was originally just a simple song and dance drama, was participated in by the family, things were not so simple, and soon, Lu Wenzhong, who was sitting next to Yi Nan, interjected bluntly, "I'm afraid, with the future status of the leader of Yi Nan, it will be difficult to come to our Shanyang City in person in the future!" ”
