Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 239 Conception of the Special Administrative Region
After listening to Sun Xiangfu's words, Wang Xu's good mood for the past few days suddenly disappeared. After rolling his eyes for a long time, he looked at Sun Xiangfu again and said, "What can you do to solve this problem?"

"Uh, well, I can't restrict what other people can grow in the field! However, I only taught the way of planting spices to your serfs, not even my own subordinates, so you have to manage Take good care of your own serfs, don't let others poach them, so that in a short time, cumin will be exclusively grown by your royal family."

Hearing this, although Wang Xu's mood eased a bit, he still felt a little depressed. Tens of thousands of serfs, complete control?Even the Wang family can't do it!But Sun Xiangfu can't be blamed for this matter!People have said that even my own people have not taught it, and I have not planted an acre, and I will basically not be able to plant it in the future. This is very face-saving.

What he said was a big problem. Wang Xu felt that he had to go back to discuss with the clan elders as soon as possible, and at least reached an agreement with several other companies. profit.

After seeing off Wang Xu, Sun Xiangfu looked at the invitation card he put on the case table and smiled leisurely. Interest is a good thing, but when it is placed in front of a group of greedy people, it will cause competition. The scramble will constantly destroy the friendship between these families.

"The guy who went out just now is Wang Xu?"

There are not many people who can speak so casually in front of Sun Xiangfu now, and there are not many people in the entire Anbei Protectorate's territory. It is Li Shimin's deputy, Chang Sun Chong, who came to Sun Xiangfu.

"Well, entering the Anbei Protectorate's Mansion is like entering your own home. Besides me, he is the only one. By the way, you look like you are not a person who is diligent in political affairs. Why did you come to report so soon. "

Changsun Chong's position is the Chief History of the Anbei Duhufu. When the Duhu is in office, he is a noble official, because he does not specifically manage anything and has no real power.

Ever since he entered Shuozhou with Li Jing, he did not walk slowly with the huge caravan, but led his own soldiers and guards to look around the cities of the Anbei Governor's Mansion. Now, he is still the first The next time I came to the Yamen of the Duhufu to report.

"Hehe, if you don't complete the task that His Majesty entrusted, you can't do it. Besides, you, the civil servants of Shanyang City, are all controlled by Wang Xu's people. It's fine if I come!"

"That's what you said wrong. I just need a wise civil servant to help me be pragmatic. It's best to let those pragmatic officials do some practical things for the people."

Seeing that the elder Sun Chong sat down directly in the place where Wang Xu sat just now, Sun Xiangfu stopped by to chat with him.

"Practical? Retreat?"

"There is nothing coincidental about civil affairs. As long as we officials want to do good things for the common people, and let them have enough food and clothing, we will definitely be loved by the common people. On the contrary, if the officials only want to use authority to If you oppress the people, the people will definitely be alienated from the government.

The Anbei Protectorate's Mansion is the first Protectorate's Mansion established by the Tang Dynasty. Before that, the imperial court did not have such an administrative organization. Therefore, as the first Protectorate, I want to use some new methods to manage this place. This is not the Central Plains, Hu There are more people than Han Chinese, I believe His Majesty and the ministers of the court can also understand. "

"how do you want to do it?"

In fact, the series of policies that Sun Xiangfu is currently implementing in Shanyang are completely different from the system of Datang. However, Li Shimin expressed his support for Sun Xiangfu in the secret decree. As the person sent by Li Shimin, Chang Sun Chong naturally knows Li Shimin But looking at Sun Xiangfu's serious expression, he felt that the previous ones might be just the beginning, and the big changes were yet to come.

"I plan to completely abandon the imperial court's way of managing the local area, and set up the Anbei Protectorate as a special administrative area."

"Special Administrative Region?"

Hearing this vocabulary that he had never heard before, even though Chang Sun Chong knew that Sun Xiangfu liked to make some strange tricks, he was a little confused. Is this going to be like that?

"Yes, whether it's taxes, laws, official system, everything, everything has changed."

"Change everything?"

Chang Sun Chong was stunned, he really dared to say that changing all political systems, is this calling for independence?

"Yes! You see, our territory is so vast. First of all, we can't continue to use Datang's solidified household registration management system. We should lift restrictions on population movement. It is best to reach an agreement with the imperial court so that all people who are not in Datang Work, low income, people who are willing to leave their hometown to earn money, we have many jobs waiting for them in Shanyang..."

In the Tang Dynasty, the local officials were relatively strict in the management of the people under their rule. The people could not run out of the country indiscriminately. Of course, they themselves were not willing to run out.

Then, if Sun Xiangfu wants to promote the industrialization of the north, there will be no available people, which will slow down the development of Shanyang.After all, Sun Xiangfu's goal is to quickly digest all the land occupied by the Turks, preventing Xue Yantuo, Huihe and other tribes from growing stronger and becoming the new northern border troubles of the Tang Dynasty.

In the industrial metropolis of later generations, any village in the city has a population of several 10, and he is as big as Anbei Dufu, such a big Shanyang City, with only 10,000+ people, and half of them are old and weak, women and children, no matter how productive they are. Even if you zoom in, you can't zoom in. After all, many people are used to do farming, so he is extremely short of manpower.

After Sun Xiangfu began to think about this issue, he thought of the tide of migrant workers going south in later generations. At that time, the country's windows to the outside world were coastal cities, but in this period, it was the north, places like Shanyang.

So can he make a wave of migrant workers going north in Datang?
From the household registration system, to the law, and then to the official system, Sun Xiangfu expressed his ideas one by one, and each of them was very reasonable, which made Chang Sun Chong feel that he would not be able to change. , actually just listened to Sun Xiangfu in such a daze for nearly an hour.

"Wait, wait, you said that the law has made more detailed and comprehensive regulations. I can understand it. This, let officials be servants of the people, and officials serve the people? What are you thinking, is this possible? "

Hearing the second half, Chang Sun Chong couldn't listen anymore. If he really did what Sun Xiangfu said, then the people under his rule would no longer be the people. How can he not be a master?

"Uh, this thing is really a bit unrealistic! Well, it doesn't mean that you have to be servants to the people, but let their work focus on serving the people, and use this index as one of the evaluation criteria for political performance. As an official, there are no restrictions on diplomas and births, as long as you can read, count, have organizational skills, and have no moral stains."

When it comes to people's public servants, even in later generations, there are a few officials who can match these four words. Sun Xiangfu also knows that what he is talking about is only an ideal state, just like the Confucianism of Confucius. It is the most reasonable thing in the world, but you can only listen to it, and it is impossible to follow it all.

"Let me ask you, where do you put Your Majesty when you let the common people choose officials?"

"Well, it's simple. The imperial court can control the nomination right! Only the common people know who is good to the common people. There is nothing wrong with local officials below the county level respecting the choices of public opinion! Anyway, the population of a county also affects No way."

"Even if you're talking about hype, what will His Majesty and the entire scholar class think about this matter? They all oppose it. No matter how thoughtful you think, it will be in vain."

"Let's try it on a small scale. I've already selected the place. Dingxiang City. It's still a mess so far. I plan to let you go and arrest all aspects. There are only one or two thousand households around. If it doesn’t work, it’s not too late for us to change it back.”

During this period, Dingxiang City was almost in the position of Inner Mongolia and Linger in the later generations, and it was similar to the situation in Shanyang before. There were more Hu people than Han people living there, and it was once ruled by Jieli and Tuli in turn, but the city outline was still there. Shanyang New City, less than two hundred miles away, is a town that Sun Xiangfu wants to develop in the next step, because it can radiate the animal husbandry area that Sun Xiangfu divided over 200 miles away.

This is the case with the official Chang Shi. With the presence of the chief official, he can be a noble official for the elderly, but with a troublesome master, he is a versatile deputy.

The eldest Sun Chong was very reluctant, but he was also a little curious, what kind of situation would the world be like if he really became an official as Sun Xiangfu said.

To Sun Xiangfu's death, he couldn't have imagined that the eldest Sun Chong jumped into the pit he thought of out of curiosity.

"Then, try?"

"Hey, let me just say it! There are not many people in the world who can be of the same mind as me. Your eldest grandson Chong is one of them. Let's go, let's go to the restaurant for dinner. After dinner, I invite you to go to the bathhouse for a big health care. We will be on the road tomorrow. "

"Do you want to be in such a hurry? I just arrived in Shanyang!"

"I told you, Dingxiang City is a mess now! Go there sooner, and the people there can live a better life sooner."

When I was in Chang'an before, I heard Li Chunfeng say that Sun Xiangfu was a sage seedling. Chang Sun Chong thought it was nonsense, but looking at it now, it really makes a lot of sense. Not only did he not discriminate against barbarians, but he treated them as his own. Look, is this a mistake?
Of course he didn't know that since Sun Xiangfu was born, this area belonged to one country, and the education he received since he was a child was that of 56 ethnic groups. In his eyes, he didn't regard these people as foreigners at all.

What he didn't even know was what the big health care Sun Xiangfu was talking about, until he was stripped clean and soaked in a big hot pool for nearly half an hour. Then, a big man came to help him use it. After the towel rubbed a lot of mud on his back, he felt that this big health care was a bit interesting.

But why is it a man who takes a bath?
Chang Sun Chong, who was used to bathing himself with maids since he was a child, wanted to complain, but the next moment he let out a howl of excitement. The male technician almost made all the joints of his body ring, especially when he pressed the soles of his feet. That pee!The first time that almost made him reserve for the eldest princess in 19 years was gone.
