Chapter 298: It's another year of spring ploughing

Sun Xiangfu almost didn't have to think about it, so he refused, "Your Majesty, can you let the people develop the habit of eating white food, in this way, sooner or later, they will become accustomed to being a bad person, take last year's road construction as an example, they work, and the court distributes food to them, which is misunderstood by many people as work."

In fact, this is not the case, this is the imperial court is giving relief, in the disaster year, the little labor they pay, can not be exchanged for food that can feed the whole family.

After that, until the time of the harvest of the first crop of this year, all the acts of the imperial court to provide grain should also be defined as relief, otherwise, Your Majesty will have complaints when implementing the conscription system in the future, although I am not optimistic about the imperial court's conscription system, but before Your Majesty does not abolish it, you should think of the people's hearts.

With the financial resources of Xingfu Village, it can indeed bear the cost of planting seedlings in all the fields in Guanzhong, but there is no reason for Xingfu Village to bear it in vain.

Our money is also our hard-earned money, and have you ever thought about it, if you give it to them for free this year, but you don't continue to give it for free next year, what will they think in their hearts?

In the minister's view, how to give grace to the people is also a technical job, there is no money, you can owe it first, and when they have the output in the field, there is a profit, and then you can pay it back, so that one party suffers a loss, and the other party benefits for nothing, it will not last long.

Besides, half of the fields in Guanzhong are homesteaders, and it would be good for those big families and families to give away their fields for free? They are very rich, but once they turn on free delivery, they will not pay for it, they will find all kinds of ways to take advantage. ”

Sun Xiangfu didn't think about handing over all this matter to the emperor or the imperial court, and he just had to find Li Shimin to collect the money.

However, he knows Li Shimin too well, the treasury has no money to pay now, if Li Shimin is allowed to owe debts, hehe, eighty percent of this money cannot be recovered, and it is nothing that Sun Xiangfu's own money cannot be recovered, but this is the money of the Happy Village collective, Sun Xiangfu is only the largest shareholder of the village collective, and he has to consider it for everyone.

Li Shimin just said 'free delivery', and was knocked back by Sun Xiangfu for a long time, and he was suddenly in a bad mood, but after thinking about it, he felt that what Sun Xiangfu said was very reasonable.

A beggar, when you pass by in front of him every day, give him a dollar, he may not be very grateful to you, but when you pass by one day, you don't give it, then, the previous gratitude he gave you will all disappear, and even turn into hatred for you, this is human nature.

Sun Xiangfu didn't know what words to use to explain the truth to Li Shimin, so he could only rely on himself to understand.

This is different from Sun Xiangfu's suggestion that Li Shimin tour the north and bring different kinds of things to the herdsmen in the north every year, which is a purposeful desire to promote ethnic integration, and the ways and means will evolve year by year, from the very beginning of sending things, to inviting to watch songs and dances, promoting culture, and giving away for nothing, are two different things.

Li Shimin was silent, but Ma Zhou, who was the first to realize, spoke out to support Sun Xiangfu, and said, "The minister thinks that what Sun Dudu said is reasonable, and it is already rare for Happy Village to teach everyone farming techniques for free, if you provide seedlings to the people for free, I am afraid that this people's will ······."

Speaking of this, Ma Zhou shut up, but Li Shimin knew what he wanted to say, and suddenly felt that he was too kind just now, even if it was given to the people for free, it shouldn't be sent by Happy Village! It should be his royal family to send it, and collect the people's hearts.

Therefore, Li Shimin said, "In this case, you can sell it to the people at a fair price!" I will give you some of the money consumed in terms of manpower and material resources, and it just so happens that the benefits you received from them earlier were not handed over to me, and they were deducted. ”

Hearing this, although Sun Xiangfu pretended to be very reluctant on the surface and agreed, he was snickering in his heart.

The words just now were all deliberately said to Li Shimin by means of this matter, with the current net worth of Sun Xiangfu and the people of Xingfu Village, how could he care about this little money on the seedlings! He didn't plan to make much money on these seedlings, just to relieve himself of the small pimple in Li Shimin's heart from receiving benefits.

Asking for benefits is part of Sun Xiangfu's plan, he deliberately released the news to Wang Gui, and in the end, sold the news to several other companies, just to make them think that they had gossip, and held back enough energy to prepare money and materials, and the final result was to raise the bidding price.

Come to think of it, Wang Gui, who has not succeeded in getting the land now, really wants to come to Sun Xiangfu to talk, if this is the case, his next plan can be implemented.

Soon, Ma Zhou helped Li Shimin draft a very shameless holy decree, stating that the cultivation of early-maturing seedlings in Xingfu Village is costly, so the cost is extremely high, and the emperor is sympathetic to the suffering of the people, and donated 500,000 yuan of the annual worship of the inner government to subsidize the people, helping the people bear half of the cost, so the people only need to buy the seedlings cultivated in Xingfu Village at half price.

This holy decree, if there is no accident, will be blown up by Ma Zhou in the newspaper, and now, he is familiar with the importance and routines of the propaganda mouth, and he has played a lot.

As for how the harem that does not charge a penny from the imperial court treasury this year will live, the people only have their brains to make up for it, and it is estimated that those people who don't know the inside story will think that the emperor's family will also eat bran and swallow vegetables this year, and live a hard life for a year! This is all to allow our people to buy seedlings at a low price, what a good emperor!

Then, the second half of the decree is that if the people have no assets, they can borrow money from Xingfu Village to plant seedlings, and then repay it after the harvest is in the field.

It is actually beneficial for the people to form a loan relationship with the happy village, and whether the money can be recovered depends on your follow-up after the things are borrowed. Only by ensuring that the people's fields are productive can the happy village smoothly recover the money it borrowed.

Li Shimin has a far-reaching view of this issue, after all, it is not very good for the imperial court to pursue the seedling loan. And with this policy support, those people who can't open the pot anymore also have hope.

In the next few days, the work of Happy Village was still busy, and all the work continued in an orderly manner, until the day before the Shangyuan Festival, Li Shimin returned to Chang'an.

Promoting the national integration plan is equally important, at the Shangyuan Festival party, Li Shimin plans to let Li Chengqian stage the battle of Shuozhou again, and this time, he will let more Turkic generals, and even middle and low-level generals, be present to watch, so that they can feel their respect for them and the benefits of common development.

Sun Xiangfu also returned to Chang'an with Li Shimin, and sang a song "Love of Nature" with his wife Yu Xiuer on the stage, which made the audience's eyes shine, and the kind of high notes from the sky were sung by Yu Xiuer, which brought too much shock to the audience, and she deserved to be a peerless white lady.

And after a slight change in the lyrics of this song, it is also a main theme song that conveys national integration and love.

Wang Gui insisted that he came to Sun Xiangfu after the Shangyuan Festival, and the matter of taking the shares was unsuccessful, and the clan blamed him.

"Zhengming, the old man is coming back now, did you tell the news to a few other companies?"

Wang Gui is old and has a good cultivation, although he is holding back a fire in his heart, his tone is quite restrained. If this matter is spread on Wang Xu, it is estimated that he will carry an iron halberd and a longbow to Sun Xiangfu to settle accounts.

"How is that possible! Don't you know where you are? However, there are quite a few people involved in this investment, and it is inevitable that some people will reveal their tone to several other companies, which is also beyond control. ”

Sun Xiangfu directly denied it, Wang Guiyi thought about it, he was the emperor's person, since the Wang family fought with several other families, it was the emperor's will to help the Wang family suppress the others, and Sun Zhengming could not play the Wang family in turn.

When Wang Gui was a little confused, he Sun Xiangfu said again, "However, don't think that the Cui family spent 3.5 million yuan to buy shares, for the sake of the Wang family and Zaixia's previous cooperation was not bad, let's tell you the truth!" In fact, the investment of a few of us in Weinan New Town is not as big as rumored, but only a few million, and its scale is as big as the county town, and I deliberately let people let this news out, which is to lead everyone to pursue profits together, and hoard a large number of materials needed for construction, so ······"

Sun Xiangfu almost put his plan together with Wang Gui, said that Wang Gui is convinced, for the pit of several others, let their own profits, Wang Gui is naturally happy, and, Sun Xiangfu promised, now, will be at the market price of ninety, the acquisition of all the building materials hoarded in the hands of the Wang family, you know, since the news of the construction of Weinan New City was released, the price of building materials in the market due to the crazy acquisition and hoarding of the major families, has risen several percent, even if Sun Xiangfu is at the current price of ninety percent of the price of the purchase of the Wang family's hoarded building materials, The Wang family can also make a lot of profits.

And Sun Xiangfu got the building materials of the Wang family, plus the funds raised by their own families, it was enough to collapse the building materials market.

When Wang Gui returned from the Sun Mansion, the wrinkles on his face smiled like a chrysanthemum, in this round, although his Wang family participated in the bidding, but did not really make a lot of money, but because of the building materials, made a fortune, and several other families, may suffer a big loss because of the batch of building materials he released, now, he can raise his eyebrows when he goes to the clan elders' side.

He didn't know that Sun Xiangfu's hand, although it seemed that the Wang family had gained some benefits, would make the other families who knew the truth hate the Wang family even more, making them completely break up and provoke their endless fighting, which was the core of Sun Xiangfu's plan.

After the Shangyuan Festival, Sun Xiangfu and a technical backbone of Xingfu Village rushed to the surrounding counties of Chang'an with tens of thousands of skilled farmers to guide the fertilization of the whole field, and he only had more than half a month to do these pre-sowing guidance.

Sun Xiangfu is hopeless about letting the people of this period understand the principles of cultivation and fertilization, and the people can't understand the professional terms such as soil properties, so Sun Xiangfu can only designate them to plant crops as an official, and directly let the people do what he designates.

The organic fertilizer made by Xingfu Village can not be applied in the whole Guanzhong, at best, it is good to use the fields of Huangzhuang and the Qin family, the Yu family and several other old related households, so the production of bottom fertilizer such a thing, in the future, the people themselves have to come, pick up the grass and wood ashes, it has become a thing that the farmers are doing, in addition, Sun Xiangfu also suggested that the Animal Husbandry Supervision Department set up a yamen to manage the manure tanks in each city.

With such a yamen, the manure in all the cities is concentrated outside the city and uniformly leached into organic fertilizer, although it cannot cover all the surrounding land in that year, but the application of wheels can be done once every two or three years at most.

With the help of ploughs and thousands of livestock supported by Xingfu Village, the whole Guanzhong field preparation project progressed very quickly, and fortunately at the end of the month, it rained lightly for two days in a row.

The rain itself did not bring any nourishment to the field, but it made Sun Xiangfu conclude that there would be no more heavy snow in Guanzhong after that, and after confirming this matter, he had a little more confidence in planting spring wheat early.

After two rounds of high yield, and the big and full seeds selected from them were distributed to the farmers, Sun Xiangfu did not expect them to sow according to the sowing method he taught, because people are selfish, and when they sow seeds in their own fields, they will definitely sprinkle a little more, so when sowing seeds, Sun Xiangfu used the skilled farmers he brought, and those local people could only watch and learn from the sidelines, even if some people who saw that half of the seeds sown in their fields were less than in previous years, kneeling on the ground and begging with tears. Sun Xiangfu will not let his subordinates scatter more, and when they see the harvest in the summer, they will naturally know why.

During this period, the fields without organic fertilizer could reach a yield of about four stones at most, and they were planted in the best ripe fields.

The output of four stones, although it is a great harvest for the people of this period, but for Sun Xiangfu, it is a shame.

Only more than 400 catties are harvested per acre of land, and it is still wet and heavy, what are you talking about?

This year, the yield of the experimental fields of wheat fields planted by the children of the peasants must reach at least six stones or more to be considered a passing grade, and more than seven stones to be regarded as excellent, because the area of acres in this period is smaller than that of later generations, the yield of seven stones is already very close to the output of later generations.

Wheat sowing, is only the simplest part of this year's spring ploughing in Guanzhong, after all, this crop to the present, has a thousand years of planting history, the people are also familiar with it, what really makes Sun Xiangfu bottomless, is the cotton and melons that are about to be cultivated in the greenhouse, the people of this period, most of them are blind to these new crops, so, the first two years to help plant these two crops of skilled hands, now have become able to lead a planting technician, Li Shimin even intends to let these people become the county chief, Personnel of low-level administrative organizations such as village heads.

However, because the scale to be removed is too large, it cannot be done all at once, so if you want to become a lieutenant chief or village head, you must master the farming technology, and Li Shimin took the lead in issuing it.

In the future, these lowest-level gentry have something to do, if they do not have the ability to guide the local people to farm, then they have to step down, and learn to farm, can be the village chief or the head of the emperor list posted, the people's enthusiasm for learning to plant these crops suddenly rose, in the eyes of many ordinary people, to be the village chief or the chief, may be their dream.

Tens of thousands of people are supplied with food and drink every day, and the reserves of the happy village are enough to support it, at this time, locust cake has also become one of the staple foods of everyone, and the darkness before dawn is coming.

After the Chinese New Year, the price of grain began to rise all the way, those who had responded to Wang Lin's call and hoarded food, the grain in their hands was covered more tightly, and there were more and more people who had no food at home in Guanzhong, and on the occasion of spring ploughing, the people had to be busy with farming, and the physical strength consumed was great, and they had to eat well, so Li Shimin had to find a way to start relief.
