Whether a place can retain people, a good environment is very important, Shanyang City has a good family education of the Wang family as the backbone, do cultural and educational preaching, this is also a reason, these moral gentlemen can often use their set of rhetoric to fool the people and those foreigners stunned, things can be used for good purposes.

Of course, Sun Xiangfu did this, and there was another meaning in it, so a large number of Wang children were appointed as officials, in the eyes of other families, that is, Sun Xiangfu and the Wang family maintained close cooperation, from which it can be concluded that Sun Xiangfu actually does not exclude cooperation with the family, then, their own family also has a chance.

Today, Sun Xiangfu is already a feudal official, holding military and political power, and no one can easily shake it, so their thinking should also change from suppression and elimination to win-win cooperation.

With this idea, then they will step into the trap set by Sun Xiangfu step by step, you know, Sun Xiangfu sees the essence of power very clearly, no matter money, no matter food, no matter the military officials, even if he gives the Wang family more, he doesn't mind, because this does not affect his actual power, these people who have been educated by the family are good at doing superficial work, then leave the superficial work to them to do, and they will get practical benefits in the future, as long as they are introduced to the competitive track, they will knock themselves up.

A preparatory meeting for the reception work was held in the afternoon, and Sun Xiangfu hoped that his subordinates could make those Hu businessmen in the Western Regions feel at home as much as possible, so there were relatively high standards for the services of eating, drinking, playing and living.

There was not much time left, this was his last advice to his subordinates, in the next few days, he would take the cavalry of the escort and the unity battalion to the grassland that had been designated as a class of land to re-survey the terrain, investigate the soil quality, and map, make water conservancy and irrigation plans, and before the arrival of the heavy snow in winter, he should make at least one type of land development plan, so that in winter, he could compete to improve the plan.

At dinner, Sun Xiangfu finally saw Xue Li in the canteen of the Duhu Mansion, half the eldest child, eating Lao Tzu to death. Fifteen-year-old Xue Li, who was even serving a pot when he ate, saw Sun Xiangfu come in, although he had to get up and salute, his eyes still swept over the food on the table.

"It's a blessing to be able to eat, when you get to the command, you can eat as much as you want, but the martial arts of killing the enemy must be practiced diligently, you can't slack off for a day, get ready, get new armor equipment and horses, and go out of the city with the governor tomorrow and go to the grassland."

Xue Li was still a little uncomfortable with Sun Xiangfu's self-cooking, grabbed his scalp and smiled, "My ability is a family heirloom, and after eating your meal, it is definitely not ambiguous to go into battle to kill the enemy." ”

Xue Li is different from Su Dingfang and Xi Junmai's pure grassroots birth, his ancestors were officials, and his family history is related, but due to the early death of his father, when he came here, he declined, just cultivating some of the fields left by his ancestors at home, but he read a lot of books when he was young, and after Sun Xiangfu's mourning poem for the fallen soldiers in Shuozhou spread, he yearned for joining the army, and came to the army many years earlier than history.

A person's personal martial arts are so strong that they are recorded in the history books at great length, this is not easy, Xue Li is a person with real ability, even if he is only fifteen years old, he can defeat Xi Junmai, who is two or three years older than him, and after he fully grows up, it will be worth it.

Chatting about family life and deepening feelings is something Sun Xiangfu often does with the people around him, but he may not realize that his physical status has undergone a major change, and while bringing affinity to others, it will also bring huge pressure, yes, after discovering Xue Li's embarrassing expression, Sun Xiangfu had no choice but to retire, he sat here, Xue Li couldn't eat openly.

What's wrong with the fierce general who has gone down in history, now he is just a little brother under his brother, with such thoughts, Sun Xiangfu's whole mood is much better.

The next day, more than 1,000 horsemen under the leadership of Sun Xiangfu, galloped to the outside of Shanyang City, dozens of miles to the west, after passing the spice field where the Wang family was, the cavalry on the horse set up a long rod of iron rings, this thing is Sun Xiangfu let the craftsman make a tool to measure the land area, the iron ring rolls around on the ground, that is, one meter, whenever the iron ring rolls to a raised position, it will automatically touch a gear next to the long rod, and the gear pushes a counting wheel on the long rod to rotate, You only need to calculate the numbers above to know how many meters you have rolled, although some positions have slopes, but now it is ancient, just draw a ground, you don't need to do things so precisely.

Left and right is only a few hundred miles of land, there are thousands of knights to help with the work, a few days can be busy, of course, Sun Xiangfu's work is different from theirs, many huge drawings in his hands, for the canal, the ridge, the location suitable for the establishment of the village, he has some plans, after unified planning and construction, will let the farmers who come here in the future walk the shortest distance, to their own fields, when building cement roads in the future, only need to build a straight road, can be together with all the villages.

In these six hundred miles of land, Sun Xiangfu plans to get two county seats, named Ningyuan County and Anyuan County, but the matter of building the city can only be carried out after the infrastructure construction on Shanyang's side is completed.

"Xue Li, did you catch any prey today?"

There is a sharpshooter in the team is good, there are different game to eat every day, Xue Li is because of the large amount of food, usually hunting is very diligent, yes, the archery is good, if you use a stone bow, he can shoot nine arrows, and every arrow can hit the wolf's eyes, today, he beat more than a dozen wolves.

"In the autumn and winter, the wolf meat is greatly replenished, and the last general will give some to the governor."

Shangdu Hu, also known as the governor of Zhongdu, now, except for those who are closer to Sun Xiangfu, everyone is used to calling him the governor, Xue Li and Sun Xiangfu have not been together for a short time, so they call him the governor with the sergeants.

"Well, peel, wash, bake and eat, let's drink some today."

After checking the soil conditions, Sun Xiangfu is in a good mood, the land situation here is actually better than what Sun Xiangfu said in the newspaper, unlike the yellow mud soil in many places, the land here is dark brown, at a glance is a deep humus layer, good soil with sufficient fertility, and the soil is loose and fine, fragile, suitable for farming, even if it is not specially fertilized, at least it can be more than two or three percent higher than the yield of Guanzhong.

"I've been working for a few days, and I'm finally able to drink it once, but don't limit it."

Xi Junmai lifted several wolves on horseback to the ground and said with a smile. However, the wolves he hunted were not as good-looking as Xue Rengui's, the arrows were stuck everywhere, the blood thorns were loud, and the wolf skin seemed to be unusable.

Every foodie has his own cooking skills, a senior foodie like Xue Li, for things like peeling and washing meat, it is very familiar, with the help of the sergeants, after a while, more than a dozen wolves were put on the grill, of course, there are more hares, robes, and even a few deer and wild asses, which were roasted by the sergeants together.

"We are doing business now, we can't drink too much wine, although this is our land now, but it is too close to the Hui and Xue Yantuo, we have to be careful."

Before Sun Xiangfu finished speaking, a guard in charge of guarding came over to him and reported, "My lord, there is a horse team coming in our direction, two or three hundred horsemen, with bows and arrows and weapons, looking at the clothing, it should be someone from the Xue Yantuo Department." ”

The guards said that they were actually at least five or six miles away, because they had a telescope in their hands, and on the grassland, it was like a cheat, which could help Sun Xiangfu avoid people he didn't want to meet.

"Walking in our direction? Then their target should be Shanyang City, see clearly, but Xue Yantuo's caravan? ”

"No, half of the team are women, and they are all good horses, and they look like Xue Yantuo's nobles."

The telescope on the grassland is this good, the person has not approached yet, some basic information, Sun Xiangfu already knows.

"Aristocrats? Woman? It's interesting, let's eat when we should, and in this land, chance encounters are allowed. Send someone and tell them that all the people who come from afar are guests, and if they are tired of walking, they can stop and rest, and we have good wine and meat to entertain them. Sun Xiangfu smiled and said.

He didn't take the armament of these two or three hundred horsemen seriously, in fact, if he wanted to walk safely on the grassland, he couldn't do it without such a number of people and armed forces, just look at Xue Li just used a telescope to patrol the grassland, and then found a big wolf's den.

Now, Shanyang has opened the door to welcome guests, welcome all non-military invaders to come as guests, Sun Xiangfu as the host here, it is very important to put on a posture, communication makes people more and more familiar, cooperation makes people go wider and wider! For Xue Yantuo, a neighbor, Sun Xiangfu is also time to understand.

In less than half an hour, the group of people were led here by the guards, smelling the fragrant wolf meat that had been roasted, even if the little girl who was the leader was a woman dressed as a grassland nobleman, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"Guests from afar, eat and drink when you are hungry! We are hospitable Tang people. ”

Sun Xiangfu said, unscrewed the cap of a bottle of spirits, and handed it to the little girl, with a grassland man, you don't need to talk so much about the etiquette of the Han people, you just need to give him the most sincere smile.

"Your wine is so good."

The little girl was not shy at all and took Sun Xiangfu's wine bottle, raised her head and took a sip.

The next moment, Sun Xiangfu saw the unnaturalness on her face, but she forcibly swallowed the big sip of wine.

I remember that Sun Xiangfu traveled in Inner Mongolia once, when he went to the yurt, the Mongolians would pour out the eight treasure tea at home for the first time to entertain the guests, it is said that there are some places where there will be barley wine or mare's milk wine, at this moment, he is learning from the Mongolian people, handed the wine over, but did not want to, the grassland people of this period, even eat this set.

"It's great that you know Chinese, can you tell me, your name?" Sun Xiangfu said with some surprise.

Before Taizong unified the grassland, the popularity of Chinese among the nomads was not high, only merchants and nobles would learn, since this little girl knew Chinese, the status in Xue Yantuo must not be low, because, a few years ago, Xue Yantuo was only a not a strong branch of the Tiele tribes, and he retreated in the colder places of Mobei, and successively surrendered to Jieli and Tuli.

In the past two years, with the defeat of Jieli in Guanzhong and the battle with Tuli, Xue Yantuo took advantage of the situation to grow rapidly, but it rose earlier than in history.

Its leader, Yi Nan, is the most talented person on the grassland during this period, and in history, when he was in the fourth year of Zhenguan, he already had 200,000 elite soldiers, that is to say, Yi Nan will soon usher in his period of complete victory.

Of course, Sun Xiangfu doesn't know these histories, and he doesn't know that in addition to wanting to unite the Tang Dynasty to destroy the Turks, Yi Nan is also constantly sweeping away the surrounding dissidents, such as the Baye Ancient Division, the Aqiu Division, the Tongluo Division, the Servant Bone Division, etc., all of which have been conquered by it, and now, he is actually the first overlord of the grassland, but he has hidden his strength and let the self-righteous Jieli be on the surface.

"My brother said that I am the most beautiful flower on the grassland, and my name is Dongzhu."
