Chapter 245 The Collision of Two Crazies

Sun Xiangfu did not expect that Wang Hao did these things because he had a set of political ideas completely different from the current one. Could it be that the wisdom of the aristocratic family has reached the height of exploring how to jump out of the vicious circle of the feudal dynasty?

There are too many disadvantages of the feudal dynasty, especially in the eyes of later generations like Sun Xiangfu, but, in the current situation, is it suitable to change the pattern of the feudal dynasty?
The answer is definitely no. The aristocratic family members are too selfish and greedy. First of all, they cannot control their desires. In this world, there is still no way to restrict their desires with a sound legal system like the future generations.

Secondly, their understanding of the world is not enough. Even if they are allowed to be the country, it is just a few more mouths to speak on core political issues.

Wang Hao’s non-my race must have a different heart, and the idea of ​​​​eliminating all hidden dangers of war is undesirable. This nation cannot do such things until it is strong enough to wipe out all foreign races. Otherwise, it will fight and perish. What is the result of hundreds of years of war since the end of Han Dynasty?The population has plummeted and the economy has regressed.

Sun Xiangfu did not read history books in later generations, but in this era, when there are not many books to read, he has read a few history books before Tang Dynasty, because his vision of history is different from that of people in this period. Therefore, he came to different conclusions.

After being silent for half a cup of tea, Sun Xiangfu looked at Wang Hao first and said, "You are crazy."

"Why aren't you?" Wang Hao said without thinking, it seemed that this was his opinion of Sun Xiangfu earlier in the morning.

"Everything the governor does is for the country and the people, where is the madness?" Sun Xiangfu was curious about how Wang Hao came to have such a sense of himself, and asked.

"You are so crazy that the barbarians in the south and the Turkic people in the north become stronger. Have you ever thought that once they rebel after they become stronger, will the Han people still exist?"

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu was stunned. In his opinion, whether they are from the south or from the north, they are all from the same country. They share prosperity and development together. What's the problem?
But in this era, it is different. In the land of Baiyue, even a strong man has not been able to truly rule it for 400 years, and the rebellion has never stopped.

The Huns outside the pass, and now the Turks, have always been the life-and-death enemies of the Han people. The hatred of the Han people in the north is a solidified thinking that has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years, and it is difficult to change.

Sun Xiangfu helped the Lingnan people to cure their belly disease, taught them to grow food, and solved their production and living problems. All ethnic groups in Baiyue in Lingnan are bound to grow stronger, and what they are doing in Shanyang is undoubtedly the same as Lingnan. After the production and living standards of these Turkic people, a large amount of ironware, food, and production technology flow into the hands of the Turkic people, no accident, the Turkic people will also be unprecedentedly powerful, which will make people who hold "non-my race, their hearts must be different" 'People are worried, and even think that Sun Xiangfu is doing harm to the country and the people, digging the roots of the Han people.

"Why do they have to rebel? The hatred in the past has passed. Now, we need each other. We can be strong together when we fuse together. I solved the problem of Lingnan people. Lingnan people rewarded me with food. Guanzhong Millions of people in this land live on the food produced in Lingnan this year. If I solve the Turkic problem, they will give me a greater return. Good day, isn't it? Why should there be any racism!"

Sun Xiangfu thought about the question clearly and asked back.

"Hehe, I can only say that you are too short-sighted. There are dynasties that have been passed down for three or five generations without a foolish emperor? It is rare for them to ensure that the Han people under their rule will not be chaotic, let alone foreigners."

What Wang Hao said was actually correct. Even if Sun Xiangfu didn’t read history anymore, he still knew about the Anshi Rebellion that was often shown in later TV dramas. This was a turning point in the Tang Dynasty’s turn from prosperity to decline.

"Now that the problem is known, it's good to fight for the problem and solve the problem. In my opinion, the integration of one by one is better than one war after another."

"It seems that we can't convince anyone anymore. Since this is the case, let's talk about business! People, do you want to change or not?" Wang Hao didn't have the intention of persuading Sun Xiangfu and pulling him into his camp. Just continue to stick to your own ideas and keep doing it.

"Since destroying the foreign race is what the prince wants to do, why did the governor agree to your condition? Could it be that what you just said is false? Besides, this Yuan Gai Suwen is also a foreign race!"

Using what he was about to do to seek benefits from others and seek benefits, Wang Xu did it to Sun Xiangfu once, and Tang Fengyi helped Sun Xiangfu to do it to Wang Xu again. He is very familiar with such routines, so naturally he would not fooled.

"What other conditions do you have? You can mention them." Wang Hao said with a faint smile.It seemed that he had expected that Sun Xiangfu would not agree to him easily.

"The governor naturally has conditions, and this condition is also good for you, Prince."

"Could it be that you want food from Jiangnan?"

"Young Master Wang is a smart man, and he knows everything. Now, Wang Lin's plan to cut off the waterway and prevent the grain from Lingnan from being shipped to Chang'an has failed. A large amount of grain is sold to cash in, but the grain price in Chang'an is still running at a high level. The land in the south of the Yangtze River is a place with a heavy output. Prince Wang must have a lot of grain. A large amount of Champa rice in the hands of Prince Wang is planted, and I am afraid that all of them will fall on his hands."

The more Sun Xiangfu talked, the more Wang Hao raised his brows. After he finished speaking, Wang Hao's eyes were already narrowed, just like when Sun Xiangfu looked at him before, and said, "You are indeed a talent. Doing this will not only benefit you, but also relieve a lot of pressure on you and the emperor, and it will completely defeat my elder brother's plan and completely lose power in front of those aristocratic families.

The idea of ​​hoarding grain, raising prices, and monopolizing the market was the idea of ​​Wang Lin and those aristocratic families. However, now that the waterway has been opened up, his monopoly plan has been torn apart. Impacting Chang'an's grain market, it is estimated that the grain in the hands of those aristocratic sons who responded to Wang Lin's call at the beginning would be smashed into their hands. Then, they would hate Wang Lin for giving them this unreliable plan.

"So, prince, do you agree or not?"

"Promise, things that are good for you and me, why not promise?"

Wang Xu hardly hesitated, and replied with a straightforward smile.

Seeing his smile, Sun Xiangfu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly realized that this was something he had always wanted to do.A strategist knows the overall situation, is good at speculating, and has a long strategy, and his reputation is indeed well-deserved.

After thinking quickly in his mind, Sun Xiangfu felt that he should ask him some more.

"The land in the south of the Yangtze River that Wang Gongzi controls is fertile. If you plant all the Champa rice, the harvest will be a lot. The grain produced, Lingnan's grain, is bound to be unsalable, so this governor has one more request."

Hearing that Sun Xiangfu had more to say, Wang Hao frowned. This person is really smarter than he imagined.

"Then tell me."

Seeing that Wang Hao's tone was no longer as straightforward as before, Sun Xiangfu felt a little relieved. It was too difficult to take advantage of dealing with him.

"The grain you grow in Lingnan, except for your own use, is not allowed to enter the market, but can only be sold to me." Sun Xiangfu looked into Wang Hao's eyes and said.

Hearing this, Wang Hao narrowed his eyes and said, "At the market price?"

Sun Xiangfu shook his head and replied, "The price is [-]% lower than the market price."

"Low by [-]%? Well, I'm afraid you are a bit difficult!" Wang Hao said for the first time with a look of embarrassment on his face.

You know, the land he controls in Jiangnan is at the level of millions of mu. Not to mention the seasons of the year, the output in one season alone can reach several million shi. Even if it is husked into rice, it is more than 300 million shi. Excluding personal use, at least more than 200 million stones will flow to the market, and 200% of the more than 50 million stones is about [-] stones. Based on the current market price, it is worth nearly a million guan. Of course, the market price next year may drop The drop is a lot, but there is more than one season in a year, and he will suffer such a loss in every subsequent season. As time goes by, his loss will be great.

"Prince Wang, you can actually think about it. If you enter the market with millions of shi, or even tens of millions of shi, will the price of grain be greatly lowered? In this way, you will directly sell all the output at a price lower than the market. You sold it to me at [-]% of the price, but you didn’t actually suffer any losses. Moreover, you have found a stable market for your grain, so you don’t have to worry about it falling on your hands. You only need to focus on expanding the planting area, Wouldn’t it be convenient to increase the production and increase the income?”

When Wang Hao heard this, he thought about it for a moment, and felt that what Sun Xiangfu said was indeed reasonable, but he also felt that there was something wrong there. He obviously only wanted to make a one-shot deal with him, so why was he still engaged in a bonded deal.

But he does have the worry of dropping grain on his hands, because, if calculated according to the output of Lingnan, the annual output of shelled rice in his field may reach tens of millions of shi, and the total population of Datang is only ? Just over 1000 million, his family grows so much food, what about the others!At that time, how cheap will food be?

Historically, since the fourth year of Zhenguan, the price of grain has dropped to an unprecedentedly low price, and the price of a bucket of rice is only three or four dollars. .

Now, Sun Xiangfu has obtained higher-yielding grain seeds and more efficient planting techniques, and the output has more than doubled.Then, how low the price of grain will be in the future is simply unimaginable. When two copper coins can buy a bucket of rice, and a worker can buy two stones of grain with a day's work, it is a prosperous age, but for For the people who can only grow food, it is also a disaster, because human life does not only need food.

Sun Xiangfu has tried his best to use his own methods to prevent such a disaster from happening. Therefore, he has to promote more non-food crops, and make the crops that farmers can plant abundant and diversified, so as to ensure that they at the bottom of the society can survive In this agricultural production, there will be no harm.
