If it weren't for the fact that the main roads in Chang'an City were all built into smooth cement roads, Sun Xiangfu would not have wanted his wife to take a carriage to the palace, because pregnant women should pay the most attention to safety in the first few months.

Now, Chun Tao and Hongmei are very attentive to Yu Xiu'er, even if they are walking, they can't wait to carry her away, no, all the way to the Lizheng Palace, Yu Xiu'er is holding her head high, it's not that she hasn't met the nobles in the palace, it's just that no one dares to let her salute, she came to visit her in-laws as a guest today, and she came with a heavy gift.

Sun Xiangfu said that he would send local specialties, and he would never send any high-end things, sand and soil were actually almost the same, but before they were sent, they were fired at high temperatures, polished by technology, and decorated and arranged.

High-end goods like dressing mirrors, Yu Xiu'er will definitely not bring only one side when she walks to the palace, of course, there are more advanced gifts today, which is a large ornament that is carried by eight attendants, and the location of the Ganlu Hall is large, and the door is wide enough to be able to put in.

The ornament is composed of several glass and glass handicrafts, Sun Xiangfu used a copper pipe to make a simple water pressure device, and the ornament is in the mouth of a redtail fish in the middle, which can spit water all the time, which is the same as the aerator in the fresh fish shop.

The spit water will impact a ball held up by an arched water dish, causing it to rotate in the water pan continuously.

The redtail fish used to be called carp in the Tang Dynasty, and it was Sun Xiangfu who asked Li Shimin to change the name, if the carp was the same as Li, this carp ornament would be famous, because the round ball was nourished by the water spit out by the carp, and it was dazzling.

The reason why it is dazzling, of course, is for a reason, Sun Xiangfu installed a glass mirror around the ornament, and aimed the reflective points at the bead, the glass bead and the water light, will refract the light reflected by the glass mirror, and naturally there will be a variety of colored light.

The large frame containing these ornaments is actually a large pool of glass and fish glue, which is stocked with many long, particularly beautiful fish, and if you put it higher, you can see the fish swimming through the transparent glass.

Sun Xiangfu knew that the eldest grandson queen was frail and sick, and he was thinking of some ways to help him recuperate in the morning, and watching the fish swim around in the water can make people relax and relieve their boredom.

In the eyes of the ancients, this thing sent by Yu Xiu'er was simply magical, but in the handicraft shops of later generations, such a set of things, that is, a cheap goods worth hundreds of yuan, really rich people, do not put this thing at home, but directly build a fountain and living water big goldfish pond indoors.

The craftsmen of Happy Village have already begun to study the commercial value of glass and glass handicrafts, and sooner or later this thing will go to the market.

Of course, good things also need to have a good set of advertising words, and Yu Xiuer's task when she came to the harem today is to talk about advertising words.

"Niangniang, this thing is hundreds of craftsmen in Happy Village, it took two years, used up the glaze and crystal collected from all over the world, and the treasure was made, and the husband called it 'spitting the world', today, I specially asked the concubine to send it to the palace and dedicated it to His Majesty and Niangniang."

The carp spits out the world, this is very good, today the eldest grandson queen met Yu Xiu'er, but it is very formal, the harem concubines are there, after this 'spit feeding the world' is completely furnished, all the concubines exclaimed, looked at the eyes of the eldest grandson queen, and suddenly had a little more envy, the emperor just came to the harem to appreciate this treasure, I am afraid that they will stay here for a few more nights in the queen.

"Mrs. Shanyang County has a heart, this treasure, this palace likes it very much, the marriage between my brother and Princess Linchuan, this palace has instructed the Zongren Mansion to handle it according to the etiquette system, after two years, when the harem is sufficient, I will choose a good place in the city and build a princess's mansion for them."

Empress Eldest Sun's words were very straightforward, and she and several other concubines saw it. When I was thinking about it, I thought that such a beautiful ornament would be sold outside, but I was afraid that it would be sold at a sky-high price, since Happy Village has the ability to manufacture one, it must have the ability to manufacture a lot, this truth, Li Shimin has already told her, telescopes, and dressing mirrors, this is the case, if Sun Xiangfu didn't tell Li Shimin, let the market be out of stock, in order to maintain a high price, those things would have been made in large quantities.

And now, Empress Changsun, who wants to help Li Shimin share some financial pressure, is really short of money.

After all, Li Shimin has publicly said before that all the expenses of the harem this year will be allocated to the people to purchase seedlings, and the court will not allocate any more money to the harem.

In fact, the income of the harem is quite rich, and after Sun Xiangfu's reform, the departments of the Pastoral Supervision Office have been able to continuously bring income to the harem, with a net profit of 500,000 yuan per year, which is only a lot more.

In addition, there is also the share of Wangjianglou, the share of the salted fish and bean paste workshop, and the share of the Lingnan fresh hanging melon and fruit business, these incomes add up, there are more than one million yuan of net profit a year, and in total, it is much higher than Sun Xiangfu's income.

But why is there a shortage of money?

Because Li Shimin has a large number of secret guards, 5,000 heavily armored Xuanjia cavalry, and the harem of two generations of emperors, dozens or hundreds of masters, and thousands of people have to serve them, which is very expensive.

In addition, last year's drought in Guanzhong, he desperately paid out of his pocket to help the people, which led to the depletion of the treasury in the harem account.

"Hehe, the husband expected early on that the days of the harem may not be easy, so he plans to build a glass handicraft workshop in Weinan New Town, and its output should be regarded as a dowry for Princess Linchuan.

"An industry with a revenue of millions a year is used as a dowry?"

All the concubines of the harem are roaring in their hearts at this time, including Concubine Wei, the biological mother of Princess Li Mengjiang of Linchuan, this property was handed over to Queen Changsun, and a few years later, when Linchuan gets married, Queen Changsun may not give it away as Linchuan's dowry.

Hearing Yu Xiu'er's words, Empress Changsun smiled, this time she really smiled, the highest standard of marriage among the people, it is difficult to have more than one million dowry or dowry, even if it is a royal princess, 100,000 yuan is also up to the sky, because the cost is too large, the courtiers will be impeached, not to mention that Li Mengjiang is just the daughter of a concubine, and what Sun Fu gives is an industry that can always make money, one million guan a year, if Princess Linchuan marries Sun Deshou ten years later, wouldn't the royal family have earned 10 million guan at that time?

Who is such a tyrant? Take 10 million as a dowry?

The answer, of course, is Gongsun Zhengming of Shanyang County.

He spent this money for his own brother, in his opinion, even if his younger brother is a princess, he can't be looked down upon, the more money he gives, the heavier his mind will be, and the confidence will be fuller, the princess of the Tang Dynasty should have a strong husband to hold on to.

Yu Xiu'er can't understand why Sun Xiangfu has such a mentality, anyway, her trip to the harem today is very long-faced, and the attitude of the concubines in each palace towards her is equal to each other, and all kinds of parenting scriptures are constantly taught to her, but she has learned a lot of things.

Yu Xiu'er, who was pregnant, naturally couldn't follow Sun Xiangfu to Shanyang for a long time, and even, Sun Xiangfu directly asked her to stay in Chang'an to raise the fetus until the baby was born.

Every time I rush, there will be a story, this time is no exception, out of Guanzhong, looking at the people along the road are still using primitive farming methods for spring ploughing, Sun Xiangfu feels that his future road is still very long, three years, can make the people in Guanzhong adapt to intensive farming, are considered successful, in this way, with another five to eight years of study, they can almost carry out intensive cultivation by themselves, and if you want to let the people of the entire Tang Dynasty enter intensive farming, high yield and high income, I am afraid that he needs to work hard for a lifetime.

In mid-March, Sun Xiangfu finally returned to Shanyang City, which was still in the remnant snow, visited and comforted the families of the people and soldiers who died in the fire, and added a generous pension again, he immediately formulated a set of warehouse management and duty methods.

In addition, tasks were assigned for reclamation and sowing after the snow melted, and agricultural knowledge was disseminated.

Considering the actual situation in Shanyang, Li Shimin sent several people to Sun Xiangfu to help, including Xiong Tingzhong, Zhang Shengye and others, who originally served in the Fisheries Department, and they are still expected. Of course, he is Sun Xiangfu's assistant.

Knowing that Sun Xiangfu's subordinates lack literature and martial arts, therefore, this time Li Shimin sent over, all of them are civil ministers, and several of them are future famous ministers, take Chu Suiliang as an example, he is Li Shimin's trusted minister, and there are people like Xu Jingzong, who is the prime minister in the Gaozong Dynasty, and he is still a firm national integration faction, and his daughter is married to Feng An's son.

As for Gao Jifu, Zhang Xingcheng, Yuwenjie, etc., they were all people who worshipped the prime minister, and now although these people's official ranks are not obvious, they are flexible and capable, and they are all capable ministers of the practical school.

Li Shimin, who knows how to use people the most, naturally will not send some people who are not of the same heart as him to Shanyang to respond to Sun Xiangfu, after these people arrived in Shanyang, Sun Xiangfu's government affairs work suddenly eased a lot, and even, his main task is to convene farmers to give lectures and tell them to use the simplest and most trouble-saving method to reclaim the fields.

No matter what Sun Xiangfu told everyone, Li Chunfeng had to listen to every class anyway, and now, dozens of well-known doctors from all over the country have gathered in Shanyang, they were either born in Taoism, or they want to learn Sun Simiao's medical skills, in short, under Li Chunfeng's flickering, they decided to stay in Shanyang Medical College.

The Shanyang Medical College, which was taken care of by Sun Xiangfu and was to be built in a key way, has gradually taken shape after a winter, and the follow-up construction may take a long time, and the basic construction of the main wall courtyard and other buildings has been completed.

Not to mention, Sun Simiao is an idle person, after the first batch of medicinal materials were transported to Shanyang from all over the country, he began to see a doctor for the people for free, it is precisely because of his treatment that the nomads in Shanyang City, for the Han people, have a little more sense of identity, it turns out that when they have typhoid fever, they don't need to ask the gods for protection, they just need to find a doctor, buy a few bowls of soup and medicine to eat, and the medicine can be cured, which makes those Turkic people who have been sick recently do not want to leave Shanyang.

With the admission of the medical school and the benefits of free medical treatment, these people who have gradually become accustomed to living in Shanyang no longer want to return to the grassland to live a hard life, so Sun Xiangfu worked very smoothly when he carried out the reorganization of Shanyang's household registration.

Many herdsmen, after this year, will put down the shepherd whip and follow the Han people to learn to work, more people who do not have many cattle and sheep at home, will become workers in Shanyang City, the least poor, can also become a worker in Shanyang animal husbandry, or, accept the recruitment of many Han families, help them manage cattle and sheep, forage and other aspects of the work, in short, Sun Xiangfu will not tolerate unemployed vagrants, idle people, etc.

The production and living arrangements of more than 1.2 million people were finally sorted out by the government affairs team of the Metropolitan Protectorate of Anbei headed by Sun Xiangfu in about a month.

In the middle of April, all the snow on the grassland melted, the frozen soil was also civilized, and the farm tools created by the workshops in Shanyang with a winter were distributed to the hands of the people of Shanyang by Sun Xiangfu.
