Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 241 Operation
This kind of verbal abusive quarrel is just the beginning. Sun Xiangfu doesn't think that they will really tear their skins because of this. They must have their painful benefits taken away before they can have a substantial relationship. action.

"I look at your father, it doesn't seem too shocking to live in several other houses!" Sun Xiangfu said looking at Wang Xu who had a depressed expression when he left the hall.

"It's not a question of living in a stable place, it's a question of what must not be allowed. Do you know how many serfs and money they have prepared to come to Shanyang this time? Each household has no less than [-] households, and the cash is at least a million yuan. If you follow them, I don’t even think about an acre of those lands.”

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu narrowed his eyes. He knew that these top aristocratic families had a deep background, but he didn't want to go so deep. We can't let them take all the money back to the bad warehouse. They have to dig it out to invigorate the economy. That's good.

"My lord, I am afraid that the matter of the land cannot be settled after we discuss it here. The imperial court sent a monitoring censor group to Shanyang, and the governor can only follow the established rules. Previously, the governor I reminded you in Shuanghua Ridge to prepare more money, I wonder how your preparations are going?"

"Hehe, no matter how strong their families are, in this Bingzhou territory, my Wang family still has the upper hand. My lord has prepared 500 million cash in the morning, and I have more. Recently, my lord has a million in spices. Make money consistently." Hearing this, Wang Xu said somewhat complacently.Looking at Sun Xiangfu's expression, he knew there was more to come.

"Five million crowns is enough. If something unexpected happens at the auction, Mr. Wang, don't be relentless. He will take what should be taken. Once they take it, the development of the Wang family will be suppressed. "

When Sun Xiangfu heard the figure of 500 million guan, Sun Xiangfu's heart twitched violently. No wonder when Wang Lin was in Chang'an, he dared to say that his family's restaurants worth tens of thousands of guan were just a small business. It turns out that the family's wealth is so deep , What is a rich country?This is an incomparably rich country. It took about one month to raise two years of tax revenue for the whole country of the Tang Dynasty. It is really incalculable how much war money the family made in the past few years at the end of the Han Dynasty. These black-hearted money can no longer be controlled in the hands of others. They got it.

Therefore, Sun Xiangfu wants to muddy the water and disrupt their rhythm. It is best to make them lose their minds, so as to maximize the benefits of his hard-earned victory in Shuozhou.

"This son, of course, knows about it, but you haven't reserved some land for me in private?" Wang Xu asked tentatively.

"Of course there is. The first-class land designated by the governor spans more than 800 miles. The actual field that can be planted is at least 300 million mu. Between Shanyang and Dingxiang City, there are nearly [-] million mu. This governor But it wasn't drawn on the map."

When Sun Xiangfu sips a 'Ben Du', it is usually when he hopes that Wang Xu will come to ask himself.

Sure enough, when Wang Xu heard the words, his expression brightened. He looked in the direction of the main hall, then pulled Sun Xiangfu aside and said in a low voice, "This 300 million mu of land is going to be developed in cooperation with Mr. Wang?"

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Cooperative development is no problem, but there are restrictions on what to grow in these fields, only oats can be grown."

Hearing Wang Xu say the word "cooperative development", Sun Xiangfu guessed that Wang's recent recruitment of tenants in Shanyang was not going well, because there were too many places to recruit workers, and the salary was once high. Yes, the grassland herdsmen don't know how to farm, so they can't meet his requirements. Therefore, it can be deduced that even if Wang Xu tries his best, he still can't finish planting the 300 million mu of land.

"oat?"

"That's right, if the prince is really capable of planting these 300 million mu of land, I can make the decision and give you the land for free to plant. However, the oat grass produced will belong to the Anbei Protectorate, and the oat seeds will belong to you. If you plant according to the planting method I taught you, the yield of oat seeds per mu should be more than three stones, which is not lower than the grain yield in the Central Plains."

Oats have a history of more than 3000 years of planting in our country. In later generations, Shanxi and Inner Mongolia have always maintained a planting area of ​​more than 500 million mu, because this crop is a treasure.

Oat grass can produce up to 300 jin of fresh grass per mu, and [-] jin of dry grass. With it, the herdsmen on the prairie have no worries about fodder for livestock, and the reason why Sun Xiangfu tinkered with Wang Xu to plant [-] million mu of oat fields, because he wants the forage reserves in Shanyang City and Dingxiang City to be enough to feed the livestock raised by all the herdsmen in the area for winter.

Not only oat grass, but oat seeds can also produce about [-] catties per mu. It is a healthy food with high fiber content, and it is regarded as a functional food by later generations. During this period, it can basically be used as a staple food.

Previously, after inspecting the land outside the customs, Sun Xiangfu knew some production data of oats planted during this period. People in Guanzhong don't seem to be good at farming to plant things, so he decided to promote the mature oat planting technology of later generations on a large scale.

However, right now, he doesn't have manpower to do this, because he has too many development projects to carry out, and he can't even recruit people for the army, let alone tens of thousands of people to complete the development of several million mu of land. Therefore, he thought of cooperating with Wang Xu.

And the 300 million mu of land was also an introduction he threw out to make the aristocratic families fight each other.

When everyone thinks that the Wang family's strength is overwhelming and they leave them behind, they will inevitably attack them together. Although the seven clans and five surnames are a cooperative gesture on a large level, small conflicts of interest are constant. When Wang Lin wanted to bring down Zheng Peicheng, he acquired land in Xinfeng County, which was the real situation among the aristocratic families. While they were all growing, they were actually in a state of competition, and what Sun Xiangfu wanted was that this state of competition was out of control. , into a large-scale vicious competition.

"Can the yield per mu of oat seeds really reach more than three stones?"

How could Wang Xu, who lives and hunts in Bingzhou all year round, not know about oats. There are many wild oats on the grasslands. It is one of the main foods that herdsmen find to satisfy their hunger when their lives are difficult. Some people grow them, but Compared with wheat and broomcorns, the output is a little worse. If it is true that the output of wheat seeds can reach more than three stones, as Sun Xiangfu said, it is indeed a profitable project. After all, the 300 million mu of land was given to him by Sun Xiangfu for nothing of.

"In terms of yield, there is only a lot more. Moreover, this oat field is not as troublesome as wheat and rice fields. Except for the troublesome opening of the field. From then on, if there are excellent farm tools, each family can plant [-] mu and [-] mu. Mu is no problem."

Seeing that Sun Xiangfu was confident in what he said, Wang Xu naturally would not reject such a good thing that could make a lot of money. After finalizing the details with Sun Xiangfu on some specific things about planting, the two returned to the hall again.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall has eased a lot. Seeing the unconcealable joy in his son's eyes, Wang Rui felt more at ease. In the round of competition just now, he finally won a large field of 50 mu. This field is near the lake area, with abundant water sources. I believe that as long as these families do not compete with him, those small and medium-sized families will definitely not be able to compete with him when it comes to auctioning the land.

"Did the elders come to a conclusion?" Sun Xiangfu asked loudly, looking at the people who still looked unhappy.

"This matter still needs a long-term plan. Anyway, there are still a few days before the land auction. You go back first. After I finally discuss the results, you just need to follow the method. The old man and others will guarantee you, the Anbei Governor. Can do it well.”

Cui Hong was already somewhat dissatisfied with the final result, so he said to Sun Xiangfu with a straight face.

Naturally, Sun Xiangfu didn't like to look at the faces of these old guys here, so after saluting and leaving, he rode back to the mansion.

"Ask Shen Xing'er to meet me in the study."

After handing over the reins to Zhang Ke, Sun Xiangfu walked into the study quickly, dipped his pen and ink, and quickly wrote a letter. After wrapping it in letter paper, Shen Xing'er was already waiting outside the study.

"Give this letter to Wei Zheng, the imperial historian, who is on his way to Shuozhou in secret, and don't leak any information."

"Subordinates take orders."

Shen Xing'er took the envelope and quickly retreated, but Sun Xiangfu was pacing slowly in the study, thinking about the next thing.

In addition to cultivating the existing land in the pass, the Wang family had only more than 3 serfs that could be mobilized. Of these 3 households, at least [-] should be left to plant spice fields.

Then, the remaining manpower is almost just enough to help Wang Rui develop the 50 mu of land that he may win at the land auction, and then, what manpower will he use to cultivate the 300 million mu of oats?

Sun Xiangfu predicted that he had no manpower, and he would not give up the huge benefits of 300 million mu of land. Then, he would definitely make other plans on the matter of serfs. Then, who has serfs?
There are only other families with seven clans and five surnames and those small and medium-sized families from various places. No matter which direction he moves his mind, some competition is inevitable.

As for whether this auction can provoke an all-out fight between the aristocratic families, there are several points that are very important, whether the small and medium-sized aristocratic families have the courage to say no to the monopoly of the seven clans and five surnames, and whether they have the courage to unite against them.

There are also seven clans and five surnames, whether they are satisfied with the final distribution of benefits, and if they are not satisfied, will the cracks be deep?

The 300 million mu of oatmeal field is what Sun Xiangfu released to continue to deepen the rift between the Wang family and several other families. By the way, it can also solve some people's livelihood problems. Why not do it!

And Wei Zheng is one of the key figures in Sun Xiangfu's series of plans. He was born in a noble family in Shandong, and he is just and resolute. At the auction, dare to bid.

Of course, in Sun Xiangfu's letter to him, he not only mentioned this point, but also confessed that he had reached an agreement with Wang Xu in private and gave him 300 million mu of land for free, and asked Wei Zheng to reveal the matter. Fortunately, before the auction started, Shang Zuo impeached him, and everyone knew about it.

What he is a little uncertain about now is that when the other families know that the Wang family has obtained 80 million mu of land for free in addition to the 300 mu of spice fields, and they are still sparing no effort to compete with them for the land sold at the auction, what will happen? What a reaction.

The best result is of course that they all fry the pot and work together to kick Wang out of the game. The second point is to ignore the agreement with Wang. When bidding, they will compete with Wang for wealth and grab the land reserved by Wang. .

In any case, Sun Xiangfu made a fuss about something he was about to do. While deepening the rift between several companies, it may increase the auction revenue. This is very good. As for the next step, people are not as good as heaven Forget it, let's see the reactions of everyone after we finish.

In addition to considering the matters of the seven sects and five surnames, Sun Xiangfu also has to consider the matters of the Hu merchants in the Western Regions. In two days, the total value of goods sold by the Hu merchants in Shanyang Loan has exceeded 200 million. Perfume, essential oils, spirits, and tea are the preferred purchases. Items, the inventory of Shanyang City was basically emptied, and then there were glazed crafts, ceramics, ready-made clothes, cloth, spices, ingredients, and the like.

Today is the last day, and the transaction volume is still concentrated, and Sun Xiangfu can see what kind of goods are more needed in the Western Regions according to the statistics of their purchase intention form, and they will strive to develop and produce the goods they need. It is guaranteed that next year, exports will continue to maintain prosperity and growth.

Don't underestimate the benefits of this foresight. In case the rhythm is not stable, once the production is excessive, many commodities may be dropped on your own hands.

Sun Xiangfu is so keen on business affairs, not only because he is short of money at this stage, but also because the court is short of money in the year of disaster. Once the court's wealth is accumulated enough and the cost of its own investment is recovered, those aristocratic families want to jump Hey, Sun Xiangfu has a way to play them to death every minute, the capital is terrible, only later generations will understand.
