Chapter 379: Advice for Shuzhong
Sun Xiangfu wears many hats, as well as the imperial examination, as well as the work of war preparedness material requisition, so he will not have much time to focus on the work of the Ministry of Agriculture in the short term.
Unexpectedly, after he announced a series of management structures, all the officials at the middle level of Langzhong were vying to go to the local office, and Sun Xiangfu knew that they were not rare to serve in the local area and would have an extra monthly salary of twenty yuan, but they didn't want to continue to do things in front of Sun Xiangfu and felt embarrassed.
Therefore, soon, the list of the chief officials, the main adjutants, and some officials who were sent to various provinces was decided, and after that, it was Li Gongyan and Wei Ting's turn to assign the daily work, as well as the performance evaluation and discipline of these officials, Sun Xiangfu did not have so much spare time to see how they did things, and returned home at the right time for dinner.
"I can finally have a family reunion and have a meal, the two little babies are not well-behaved today."
Sun Xiangfu touched Huanhuan and Lele's little faces, but what responded to him was a milky yawn.
Month-old children, basically eat and sleep, after the face and head are round, the silhouette that resembles Sun Xiangfu and Yu Xiuer comes out, the daughter Huanhuan is more like Sun Xiangfu, and the son Lele is more like Yu Xiuer, sometimes the same mother will look very similar, and sometimes, the appearance and personality will be very different, they belong to the kind with differences.
"Husband, the concubine's body is already in good shape, and my mother has prepared a lot of congratulatory gifts to be sent over, urging us to put the full moon wine!"
Yu Xiu'er also came to the table to eat with the support of Chun Tao and Hongmei, Yu Xiu'er's two children are Sun Xiangfu's eldest son and eldest daughter, with Sun Xiangfu's current status, it is naturally more beautiful, and Li Shimin's graceful holy decree should also be announced to the public.
The eldest daughter, Sun Wanting, was given the title of county lord only if she was the daughter of the county king, but now she is no longer given a fief, that is, a name and a little bit of money, called the county lord of Chuyang.
The eldest son Sun Jing, because he wanted to inherit Sun Xiangfu's title, was awarded the title of Captain of the Rank of Commander Yiwei, which is the rank of the sixth rank of Wusan, and it is the highest level among all the relatives, which is higher than the eldest son of Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin, the old princes, which are all because Sun Xiangfu's many merits cannot be rewarded, and they are compensated to his children.
"Swing it! But I'm very busy for my husband, and the banquet or something, so I'll arrange it directly in Wangjiang Tower! In the house, let Uncle De arrange it a little, and send out all the posts tomorrow, just the fifteenth day after tomorrow, the two full moons, and after putting out their wine, the husband will be the invigilator. ”
"Your Majesty loves to arrange for your husband in any position, don't you know, after he read all the yamen in Shanyang, he also said that he wanted to make his husband the prime minister!"
Chun Tao's words sound like complaints, but they are actually a kind of pride, a country, there are a few people who have the talent of the prime minister.
"The husband is still too young, if he is the prime minister, he is afraid that he will not be able to suppress the civil and military officials, or he will serve in the field he is good at for a few years, how does it feel to go to the Ministry of Agriculture today?"
"Xiu'er, who knows me, is not good at strategic planning for her husband, and she is not suitable to be His Majesty's prime minister at the moment, and a department like the Ministry of Agriculture that is in charge of people's livelihood is the most suitable for a husband."
Li Shimin's dynasty, foreign wars have appeared from time to time, such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, the eldest grandson Wuji, such strategists who know military affairs, are more suitable to be his prime minister, political talents, originally not weak, there are Xiao Yu, Wen Yanbo, Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, Ma Zhou and other talents, and now there is another Sun Xiangfu, which is a lot stronger, with a strong enough internal political theory, the national strength will be pushed to a higher level, which will make Li Shimin in foreign wars, more smooth, this country, stronger than history, that is inevitable.
"The concubine knows the husband, and the husband knows the concubine's body?"
Yu Xiu'er's rhetorical question made Sun Xiangfu a little embarrassed, because Yu Xiu'er's expression at this time made her a little incomprehensible, and she retreated in defeat, "A woman's mind is the most difficult to guess, and her husband is afraid that she will guess wrong and make you angry." ”
Hearing this, Yu Xiu'er didn't embarrass him anymore, and said with a straight face, "Since the husband has already married and had children, he should consider the inheritance and reproduction of the family, and he should write a book earlier to pass on the family education of my Sun family more comprehensively. ”
Yu Xiu'er said, and looked at the stomachs of Hongmei and Chuntao, which made the second daughter ashamed, and Sun Xiangfu was dumbfounded.
It's no wonder that Hu Yu Xiu'er has such thoughts, she is a daughter of a family, and her education naturally makes her develop a character that likes to consider these family issues.
The matter of having children, Sun Xiangfu is going with the flow, he doesn't want to establish a family like five surnames and seven families, but writing a book to talk about this matter, it should really be considered, after all, in order to maintain the rigor of knowledge, used as a textbook for educating future generations, it needs to be carefully carved, once there is a mistake, it may be harmful for thousands of years, and this process will be relatively slow.
Moreover, the agricultural gate should also have a more comprehensive and systematic teaching system, only in this way, in the future, the knowledge can be well inherited and promoted, like the current East a hammer, West a hammer, what to teach, what to lack of research situation, but not good.
"What Xiu'er said is that when you are busy for a while, your husband should calm down and summarize some of his knowledge to form a system."
A successful man, there is always a woman with a leather whip behind him, Yu Xiuer waved the leather whip, so, Sun Xiangfu had to work hard, came back from Shanyang, abstinence has been more than a month, today is rare to get off the morning shift, Sun Xiangfu took a beautiful bath, and released all the firepower he had accumulated during this time on the body of Hongmei and Chun Tao, and when he went to court the next morning, he was carried to the carriage in a daze.
"Zhengming, after presiding over this imperial examination, the old man will go to Shuzhong to take office, when will your Shuzhong development plan be given to the old man!"
In front of the gate of the imperial city, Xiao Yu unceremoniously poured himself a cup of milk tea in Sun Xiangfu's carriage, and pushed Sun Xiangfu, who was still confused, to wake up.
"Well, I slept late last night, Xiao Xiang is not surprised." Sun Xiangfu sat up from the sofa in the carriage, wiped his face, poured himself a cup of milk tea, and drank a few sips before saying, "The mulberry hemp industry in Shu was originally the biggest and best in Datang, and it is also the most difficult industry in the adjustment, with the large planting of cotton, hemp cloth is bound to be eliminated, and silk will also be affected to a certain extent. There are two markets that are difficult for others to grab, Tubo and Yunnan, as long as you strengthen your trade with them, the silk industry, the demand will be greatly increased. ”
Silk is a thing, whether it is a colder plateau or a hotter southern tribe, the demand for it is relatively high, because it is soft, comfortable, dust-absorbing, and has a strong anti-ultraviolet function, and the nobles on the plateau like it. And it also has the characteristics of cool, breathable, and non-bacterial decay, which is the best material used by people in the southern subtropical region to make crotch cloth, and people in the south also like it.
And the people in these two places, will not raise silkworms, weaving silk cloth, just right, Shu is rich in these things, and, at their doorstep, occupy a natural geographical advantage, if the silk in other places is transported to Shuzhong, just the freight, so that its cost increases a lot, and the quality is not necessarily comparable to the Shu brocade, so, the market in these two places, almost let Shu do exclusive business.
Listening to Sun Xiangfu's proposal, Xiao Yu nodded, and said, "Let a large number of people who grow hemp go to farm, they may not be able to plant, and hemp paper used to be one of the pillar industries in Shuzhong, but now, Guanzhong and all over the country have begun to use straw paper on a large scale. ”
"Open up new industries! As far as I know, the pepper and oranges in Shu are everywhere in the mountains, and some people can be planted in the mountains on a large scale, the price of pepper is not cheap, and the oranges are produced, so they can be made into canned food, which can not only be sold to the plateau, but also sold all over the country by water, and it should not be difficult to make a new pillar industry. ”
In this era of lack of seasonings, peppercorns with dampness function are naturally people's favorite things, especially southerners, but due to the high cost of goods shipped out of Shu, although peppercorns are good, but they are not eaten by civilians, there is no big market, no one will make this industry bigger, this is a vicious circle.
If the volume of goods is increased and promoted to the whole people in the way of small profits and quick turnover, this industry may not be able to be revitalized, and with the improvement of Datang's economic level, the era of not being able to afford seasoning will gradually become a thing of the past.
This year's canned peach meat in the Guanzhong market is an example, once on the market, it has won everyone's love, and even has become one of the indispensable gifts for ordinary civilians to visit relatives and friends.
The production cost of canned oranges may be lower than that of canned peach flesh, the plateau lacking fruits and sweets, the demand for it should be great, and there is basically no need to worry about sales, as long as Xiao Yu does it, it will definitely drive a lot of economy in Shuzhong.
When the two talked about this, the gate of the imperial city was already opened, and the coachman called the two to the court, and the two got out of the carriage and continued to talk as they walked.
In addition to the industry of pepper and canned oranges, Sun Xiangfu also wanted Shuzhong to expand the tea industry, with the development of the economy and population of the north, the gap for tea is even greater, and with the more frequent trade with the countries of the Western Regions, the export volume of tea will also increase.
In addition, the hot and humid weather in Shu is very suitable for planting many kinds of commonly used medicines, for this aspect, Sun Xiangfu also has a plan, only hate that he is too busy now to go to Shuzhong to investigate, however, he told Xiao Yu that in the transaction with the Tubo people, you can buy more Tibetan medicines, the value of many Tibetan medicines, not in terms of money can be calculated, there is also a great strategic reserve value, and even because the medicine in Tibet is not developed at this time, many good medicinal materials, they do not know, when weeds are general, just cheap Shuzhong businessmen.
However, their exchange of ears was soon interrupted by Wei Zheng, this old man came to Sun Xiangfu to ask for glasses, Li Shimin asked him to revise the Fa again yesterday morning, and the amount of writing work was very huge, which made his eyes a little unbearable.
For this reasonable request, Sun Xiangfu was naturally embarrassed not to agree, and asked him to go to Happy Village another day, specifically according to his eyesight, to make a pair of glasses for him, of course, the purpose! It was also to give him more advice on the matter of cultivating the Fa.
First of all, the labor law to protect the working people at the bottom must be formulated more reasonably, and then for the upcoming rise of commerce, industry, financial capital, etc., it also needs to be legislated, and many new legislation in this area cannot be completely fixed, and future generations must be allowed to revise because of changes in the environment, and it is important to keep pace with the times.
