The problem of Yunnan is, to put it bluntly, that is, the poor economic foundation, and at this time, it is just a region that has just begun to transition from the barbaric tribal era to the rule of the feudal dynasty.

However, it is not completely without a solution, because, it is not far from the straight line distance from Tubo, Piguo, Jialou, and Tianzhu, and the potential for the development of commerce, there are some, as long as the output is expanded, the road is repaired, it is completely possible to make a little improvement in the commercial sector, of course, even if the business is done, there is not like Chang'an, Jiangling City, there are so many powerful and rich people, their high-end industry, can not be done, so, here can only be the bottom first, It is best to be so low that ordinary people can consume it.

When Shelong heard Sun Xiangfu's question, his head suddenly became bigger, without these high-end hotels, how could he entertain the heads of state who came to participate in the sports conference, so he asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

Sun Xiangfu replied, "We are not in a hurry to build a city, so why rush to build a hotel!" When we open up the fields, repair the roads, increase the output, and the people become rich, these lands will naturally become valuable. ”

Going around, or a problem of output, with output, to talk about other, Yunnan, Shuzhong and Ningchuan Road, all three places are bordered by Tubo, but why do the Tubo people have frequent transactions with Shuzhong, in the past two years, they have even built a good way to Shuzhong inn rest and supply channel, it is because the output of Shuzhong is more, and the output of Yunnan and Ningchuan Road is less.

In fact, what can be produced in Shuzhong, Yunnan can be produced, and even, many of the outputs in Shuzhong, raw materials are still provided by Yunnan, such as tea and medicinal materials, which are all purchased and processed by merchants in Shuzhong from Yunnan.

"Therefore, I will order today that the work in this city be stopped, and that a part of the people should be divided to build the roads, and then let the big men all obey your orders and go to open the fields." Sheron made up his mind.

Sun Xiangfu smiled and said, "Actually, opening up the field and building a city are not in conflict, I just told you that in Yunnan, we should adapt measures to local conditions and build more timber buildings such as pavilions and pavilions, where do these timber come from?" Of course, when the field is opened, it is cut down, we cut down these timbers in advance, in fact, it is for the later construction of the city, saving time and process, and when the time comes, the engineering team will come, they have all kinds of timber that have been concocted, and it will be much faster to do the work. ”

"That's the reason, then, please ask Young Master Sun to help us formulate a good strategy, and I will summon my subordinate officials to come and listen to the instructions."

In fact, in recent years, the imperial court has sent many officials to Yunnan, but they are all low-level officials, most of whom started as interns.

After the previous counterinsurgency war, Yunnan's territory is not small, at least one-third larger than the territory of later generations.

Because, after Linyi, Zhenla and other areas were included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the Black Tooth tribes that were surrounded in the middle had also surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and were brought under the rule of the Annan Army by Li Shimin.

In other words, a large part of Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam in later generations is now under the rule of Serong, which is why the land of Nanzhong has a population of more than 2 million.

The main energy of these basic officials is to deal with the issue of multi-ethnic harmony, and after several years of hard work, they can be regarded as having some results, at least they are willing to communicate harmoniously, and there will not be rebellions and bloody conflicts at every turn, as in the past.

In the future, their focus will be on developing the economy, and when the economic conditions are good, everyone will have food and drink and live a good life, and naturally there will not be so many conflicts, and gradually, they will be integrated.

A reception banquet and a big meeting to determine the future development direction of Yunnan, which Sun Xiangfu did not expect, however, his title of the first person in the Tang Dynasty is not called in vain, ideas and strategies, that is, there is, soon, a complete set of land development plans were coordinated.

First of all, of course, is the development of Dali periphery, hundreds of thousands of people work and thousands of people work, it is not the same thing at all, there are more elephants than Lingnan, hundreds of elephants, pull up the winged plough to level the ground, the speed is absolutely fast, sawn into the standard length of wood, after drying on the spot, will all be pulled back to the city to reserve, relatively straight wood, is the whole dried after pulling back, after can be made into a house beam.

Previously, at the suggestion of the peasant students, Shelong had actually arranged for some people to do the development of terraces, but now, it was just to expand the scale dozens of times, so as not to let them continue to waste time in building cities that they were not good at.

Sun Xiangfu first surveyed the growth of some local species, the land in the south, can be described as a blessing, the four seasons are like spring, there is a more obvious temperature difference between day and night, even if it is the hottest thing in April and May, its temperature is only more than 20 degrees, very suitable for wearing single clothes to work, as long as the field is opened, those crops that are suitable for growing at a constant temperature can almost be savage, unrestricted growth.

Like the more adaptable tomato, with the climate here, it is theoretically possible to achieve annual planting, if you use artificial flowering technology to maximize the fruit, the yield must be high.

In later generations, Yunnan is the first province of tomato export in China, even if it is exported in large quantities, and domestic sales, there is often a bumper yield but not a bumper harvest, because the production is too much, and there is often a situation that rots at home and has not been sold.

Due to the climate demand, many medicinal materials and plants here cannot be replicated in other places, which leads to its preciousness, Sun Xiangfu led the agricultural students, in some wild medicinal materials, precious flowers and plants in more places, after surveying the location, according to local conditions, left a lot of construction drawings.

Later, these plantations had to be organized and developed by these agricultural students themselves, and as for the field crops that could be used as staple food, Sun Xiangfu gathered everyone, and after a few lectures, he led everyone to plant them in the newly opened fields, and these seeds were considered the experimental varieties they planted in temperate climates, and the yield, taste, and so on should be compared with several other places.

Sun Xiangfu stayed in Yunnan until mid-May before leaving, and left him a lot of more beautiful pavilions and pavilions, which Sun Xiangfu saw in the scenic spots of later generations, although Shelong was more interested in the houses like the watchtowers that can solve the practical problems of the people in Yunnan.

When it comes to the design and construction of these civil buildings, in fact, the craftsmen of the ancients are better than Sun Xiangfu, Sun Xiangfu just told Shelong, how to build an economic circle through the planning of buildings, eating, drinking and playing, must form characteristics, let people come here once, they can remember deeply, and they also want to bring their friends and family members to play.

Therefore, when the engineering team of Jiangling came to Yunnan, what needed to be built was no longer a Tongdu Dayi with luxury as the main tone like Dingxiang and Jiangling City, but a city full of landscapes and gardens, and it was not just a city, to the west, Lijiang, Diqing, and Mangkang. To the south, Pu'er, Mengsai, and Vientiane will build access roads and build similar landscape-based cities.

In this way, not only can Yunnan's output be sold to Tibet and Piao, so that it can gradually develop commercially, but also make it attract people to play or settle down in a unique and beautiful environment.

For the planting of rubber trees, Sun Xiangfu finally chose to put it on Zhonghong Island outside Ha Long Bay, for this reason, Shelong allocated 20,000 people to him, but to open up a rubber tree plantation, of course, it is not necessary to use so many people, Shelong allocated so many people, is to let them plant rubber trees at the same time, while following the Lingnan fleet, learn a certain boating, or navigation skills.

Yunnan's water system is developed, after the agricultural output is improved, it can radiate the entire coastal area of Southeast Asia, just wait for the future Tang Dynasty to take the country of Piao, get the entire south to the coastal territory, you can divide it into a separate one, its territory, may be larger than the previous Lingnan Road, the population will be more.

In early June, Sun Xiangfu returned to Guangzhou again, and as soon as he could, he asked the big guy to pick up the sickle and follow him to the field to cut corn seedlings, which is called cutting the heart of heaven.

"Teacher, this corn grows so well, why do you want to cut it in half?" When Li Tai heard Sun Xiangfu's request, he was stunned, even the Mayans who could plant corn were also confused, because after Sun Xiangfu started, he didn't just cut a little bit, and the entire part above the cob of Qi corn was cut off by him with a knife.

Sun Xiangfu pointed to the corn seedlings he cut out, "This is called" control up and down ", cutting off some useless parts when the sprouts are young, which can promote the growth of its root system, and the root system is developed, it can not only be more resistant to drought, but also absorb nutrients in the soil to a greater extent, making the corn cob larger and the particles fuller." Growing into a cut can reduce its fertility consumption on the whole seedling, of course, the benefits are not only this, it can also make it more resistant to wind, or reduce insect pests, protrusions, etc. ”

All right! Seeing that Sun Xiangfu said that the head is the way, Li Tai they did not dare to question, followed the standards he formulated, also cut up, in later generations, corn seedlings and not cut seedlings, in fact, also controversial, but, in the end, through scientific statistics, came to a very obvious gap in the results, cut, generally than not cut, high yield of about one to two percent, you know, corn is already high-yield, one to two percent of the gap, that is more than 100 catties, can be seen the importance of this process.

As for potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, peanuts and other crops, the growth is also very good, because the adaptability of these crops is already strong, Wang Erxiao in accordance with Sun Xiangfu's requirements, the use of more reasonable field preparation, fertilization and other cultivation methods, but to those Mayans shocked a lot, they feel that after these things came to the Tang Dynasty, as if they were blessed by God, than on their side, the growth is much better.

After more scientific sowing methods, as well as some more delicate field weeding, top dressing, pest control, etc., its yield is only more than half higher than that of the general rough methods in South America.

"Teacher, when we leave at the end of next month, we will be able to harvest all these crops!" Sun Xiangfu came back, Li Tai was relieved, seeing that the upper part of the corn was cut off and could still survive, he completely believed Sun Xiangfu's statement, but he naturally had some small ninety-nine in his heart, that is, after these new crops were planted, he invited credit in front of Li Shimin and his wife.

"Little Tai! Knowing that after His Majesty toured the south once, did he have to break the previous routine of the imperial court and make Feng Gong a hussar general? ”

Li Tai shook his head.

Sun Xiangfu said again, "Because, Duke Feng will always bury his head in doing things, and never repay himself, your father will always get surprises when he is here." ”

Hearing Sun Xiangfu say this, Li Tai instantly understood, and without mentioning anything about repaying his merits, he went to Feng Ang to learn how to create a surprise for Li Shimin.

And when it comes to surprises, in fact, Li Chengqian's side, that is called creating surprises for everyone, two months, he walked from Chang'an to Yangzhou, in the whole process, the Western Regions delegations spent as much as 10 million yuan in the cities along the canal, and after he sent the arrears bills of the Western Regions countries to Li Shimin, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military felt that they couldn't understand the world.

During the 10 days that the delegation from the Western Regions was in Chang'an, a total of 26 countries borrowed from Datang Qianzhuang, with a total loan amount of more than 300 million guan, of which the Byzantine Empire alone accounted for 60 million guan, Dashi, Persia, Tianzhu, etc., all of which ranged from 30 to 40 million, and as for other countries, it ranged from several million guan to 10 million guan.

Don't think that Li Chengqian took 300 million yuan to lend them out, in fact, he just opened a share mortgage loan service for these people, and the money has never been taken out from Datang Qianzhuang, and they owe so much money, and they only got a part of the shares of the overseas exploration and investment company, which adds up to less than 5 million shares.

Because, as they can get loans, the bidding for this stock has become more intense, and finally they were raised to an ultra-high price of more than 90 shares, which attracted many original shareholders to waver under such dozens of times the huge profits, and began to sell the shares they held, and in the end, plus the cash they originally brought over to Datang, they smashed a total of almost 360 million yuan in the trading center.

Moreover, if they owe so much money, they can't complain about Datang, because the price was raised by themselves, and Datang officials did not encourage them to do so, but only provided convenience for their needs, and in the past, the price of this stock was not so crazy.
