Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 248 Wei Zheng went to Shanyang

In fact, Sun Xiangfu underestimated the enthusiasm of the aristocratic families for their interests, especially the small and medium-sized aristocratic families, those families that are usually not able to survive, but have some family background, are the ones who want to grow the most.

They are very enthusiastic about buying properties in Shanyang City, because dozens of aristocratic families and several Hu tribes have gathered here, the streets are very lively and there are many business opportunities.

Therefore, Zhou Chun's business is very busy. Now there are hundreds of shops in the commercial street that are vacant, and now there are people who are interested in paying rent. all over.As for the land that has been designated as a luxury housing area, the transactions in the past few days are even more impressive. They all want to build their houses next to the Wang family in Taiyuan and the Lu family in Fanyang, so that they are on the same level as the five surnames and seven families people.

Due to a large round of purchases by Hu merchants, Shanyang City is not fully stocked with all kinds of goods. When encountering big customers like Mo Hefu from Shiwei and A Sulang from Mohebu, the shops in the city can only use the ones that place orders. way to accept their purchases.And if you want more goods, you need more raw materials for making goods. Most of these small and medium-sized families have such industrial resources, so they signed some agreements with many workshops in Shanyang City for the supply of raw materials. If there is no accident , Follow-up, a large amount of stone, bamboo, wood, iron and other things will be shipped to Shanyang.

What's even more ridiculous is that tribal leaders like Mohefu and Asulang, who can't even do arithmetic, want to open a store in Shanyang, because they think that people in Shanyang will like their place The ginseng, pearls, mink fur, tiger penis, bear paws and other things produced, and they are in the semi-savage state, want the things in Shanyang City too much, if they don’t sell their things for money, they There is no money to buy Shanyang's goods.

For such a small matter, Zhou Chun himself can decide. Sun Xiangfu told him that any nationality is welcome to come to buy property and do business. Moreover, he can also provide them with guidance and help, especially when their goods are rare goods. Therefore, before the auction started, the shops of these two tribes opened in Shanyang City first. According to the rules, the shops selling the same kind of goods were arranged together by Zhou Chun. , Even the shops opened are adjacent.

As a result, two young men who knew Chinese and arithmetic were hired by them as shopkeepers with a high salary of five pennies a month, and those two young men were originally just two commoners from Guanzhong.

The children of the Wang family who are in charge of preaching and implementing the city management decree of Shanyang are very busy. Sun Xiangfu gave them high official positions and a lot of salary. The only bad thing is that they have to work all day long. Moreover, the target of work is still a group of foreigners who look at them with blank eyes. It takes a lot of effort to want Hu people who don't even understand Chinese to abide by the law. They only catch people who defecate everywhere every day. , can catch hundreds of them.

According to the regulations of Shanyang City, there are two punishments for defecating indiscriminately. One is to let them clean up the filth they pull out.The second is to accept half an hour of ideological education.

It’s okay to say that the former one was forced by the officials, and they did it. The latter punishment is more like punishing those officials. Talking to these foreigners for an hour is very level. And this, for those Hu people who don't know the rules of the Han people, is more like a Chinese language training.

People who do not have that nationality are born fools. When they see other people living a good life in Shanyang, they will also think about it, and through communication, they will know some ways. Therefore, the lecture hall for learning Chinese is good. It is a relatively lively place in Yangcheng. For this reason, Sun Xiangfu specially sent a few villagers from Xingfu Village who had learned the Chinese pinyin to teach them more standard pronunciation.

In the early days, even the Turkic people who came to Shanyang City half a month earlier have lived a good life now, with stable jobs, thick clothes, comfortable houses, and full grain jars. The living conditions are no worse than that of Nakado in Guanzhong.

Wei Zheng is a very courteous person, so after he brought his team to Shanyang, there was no such thing as a splendid reception banquet. After a casual lunch, he started to wander around the city. Then, he quarreled with Sun Xiangfu on the street.

"The people in Guanzhong are still in dire straits, why do you, Sun Zhengming, treat Yi Di so kindly?"

"Uh, Master Wei, now, they are all the people of my Shanyang City, why do you ask this question?"

All right!The thinking of the two people is not on the same channel for the time being. It is normal for Wei Zheng not to understand Sun Xiangfu. He is a scholar-bureaucrat who was educated and raised by Han Chinese poetry and etiquette, and was influenced by the five random Chinese. My race must have a different heart' is the main argument. Even if Li Shimin had only a little bit of foreign blood in his ancestors, after he came to power, he had to emphasize again and again that he was a pure Han orthodox, otherwise, the scholar-bureaucrats would always take Spray him on this.

And why there was the Anshi Rebellion later, it was precisely because these Han officials and officials from the Hu family were too rigid, and the problems between the ethnic groups were not handled well, and when they were provoked by those who wanted to, things went wrong.

"You, you, you, the angry old man..."

"Your Excellency, don't be in a hurry to get angry. Let these people quickly stabilize and put them into production and life, which is more beneficial to Datang than exploiting them."

"Advantages? Apart from wasting money and food, what are the benefits? You are not in Chang'an, I'm afraid you don't know that the officials of the imperial court can't even pay their salaries, but you, you..."

"Hehe, Lord Wei, let me tell you why the imperial court is poor? The output is not enough, and the reserves are not enough. After these Hu people and herdsmen are concentrated and resettled by me, they can immediately start to create output and help the imperial court. Let's take a step back. , letting go, exploiting them, may save me a sum of money to help the court, but with the border troubles, I am afraid that the court will have to spend more money, food and energy to calm them down. How much money have we Han people invested in border troubles from generation to generation? How many soldiers? life? Is it going to continue like this? Why don't we change the way and solve it completely!"

"A complete solution?" Wei Zheng looked at Sun Xiangfu in a daze.

"Exactly, the people on the grassland are like the wheat in the field. Every stubble is cut, and every stubble grows. With the military methods of the Qin and Han Dynasties, has their problem been completely solved? The answer is no.

But to collect them, to lead them into the walls, to the fields, and to change their way of life, is a thing which is in their interest as well as in ours.Didn't Confucius say it?When the barbarians enter China, China will come. We only need to assimilate them, and they will become our own people. When they all become our own people, without border troubles, why can't the Tang Dynasty be strong? "

Hearing this, Wei Zheng fell silent, and pulled the Hu people off their horses to farm and produce like the Han people. Is it possible?

Sun Xiangfu seems to have proved it with facts, and the word "do" can be removed directly, because the Turkic people who came to Shanyang are now working very seriously. As long as they work hard, their lives will be better than before. good.

How can a person like Wei Zheng not understand the principle of "If you want to take it, you must give it to you", he just didn't adapt to this change all of a sudden. Now that I think about it carefully, the road that Sun Xiangfu took may not be a solution The solution to the problem, after all, since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the imperial court has failed to govern the politics of the Hu people. Nearly a thousand years have passed, the Hu people are still Hu people, and the Han people are still Han people. He is crossing the river by feeling the stones and finding a new way up.

"It's just that you are giving too much! Such a house may not be affordable for the households in Guanzhong, and most of the people in Guanzhong don't have the use of coal balls, heaters, and iron pots! You , What do you think of me, the Han people?" Wei Zheng understood it, but he still didn't get it right.

"Hehe, if they also want such a house and such living supplies, that's fine! Let them come to Shanyang too! I'm worried about the lack of manpower and the speed of assimilation is too slow!" Sun Xiangfu didn't take Wei Zheng at all. He said with a smile.

Historically, Li Shimin and Sun Xiangfu had the same thoughts. He wanted to absorb and integrate all ethnic groups. Therefore, Li Shimin not only does not object to what Sun Xiangfu is doing now, but also strongly supports it.

However, Sun Xiangfu's strategy of pushing the Han people to go outside the pass is the opposite of what Li Shimin did in history.

Historically, after Li Shimin defeated Jieli, he moved all the Turkic people from the north of the Yellow River to the south of the Yellow River, and wanted to implement the so-called assimilation strategy, which led to Xue Yantuo sitting outside the pass until the 13th year of Zhenguan , He then moved the Turkic people who were not very adapted to the life of the Han people to the Monan area north of the Yellow River, and restrained Xue Yantuo, who had unified Mobei and established the Khanate.

Sun Xiangfu didn't know about this period of history, but his series of actions absorbed the people who were originally scattered all over the Turks into Shanyang City. Not only did they not let them expand the Xue Yantuo tribe, but they also added tens of thousands of people to the Tang Dynasty. household population.

The team of thousands bought by Xi Jun is not wandering around on the grassland. He shouted the slogan Sun Xiangfu taught him. The tribes that listen will naturally drive their cattle and sheep to Shanyang City. Driven by Xi Jun's threat, they will also come to Shanyang City. The young and strong of these tribes have been recruited by Jieli and Tuli. Even if Xi Jun bought only a thousand horses, they have no ability to resist, so , the progress is very smooth, now, Changsun Chong has received a lot of people in Dingxiang City, and the next step will be diverted to Shanyang.

"You want to move the Han people out of the pass? The next sentence of the sage Confucius, but when China enters the barbarians, the barbarians will be the barbarians." Wei Zheng asked puzzled.

"Now, this is not a place ruled by the barbarians. They moved here to help me assimilate the barbarians, just like those Wang's children. They help me teach the barbarians and Han Chinese etiquette and rules every day. This barbarian In other words, it’s about customs and culture.”

Hearing this, Wei Zheng fell silent again. In fact, he already knew in his heart that Sun Xiangfu brought out the aristocratic family through this land auction, and the Han serfs under them would inevitably move out of the pass. At the same time, those fields can play a role in assimilating the barbarians, and I seem to have no reason to object to accusations.

He didn't know that Sun Xiangfu only hated his limited financial resources, otherwise, he would have given these barbarian herdsmen more good policies.

There are two reasons. One is because the more generous he gives, the more willing those small and medium-sized tribes on the grassland are to accept his rule. If a trend forms, he will use non-war means to completely solve the northern part of the Tang Dynasty. borderline problem.

The second is that he wants to plant the seeds of rebellion for those serfs from aristocratic families. Even herdsmen who don’t know how to farm can have their own houses, properties, and live a good life in Shanyang. Why are we Han people being treated as cattle and horses by others? use the same?Are we inferior to these Turkic people?
There is a contrast, and there is a psychological contrast. The foundation of the family, in addition to cultural knowledge, is the serfs who produce wealth for the family. Let these serfs rise up and resist, which is to destroy the foundation of the family.

Seeing that Wei Zheng didn't speak, Sun Xiangfu felt that it was time to talk to him about serious matters, and said, "Master Wei, I asked the imperial court to send a monitoring and censor team to Shanyang just to ensure that this land auction can be held in a fair and just manner. For the imperial court, it is more beneficial for the imperial court to have more families from all over the country send people to develop land outside the customs. If the forces are dispersed, the subsequent policies of the imperial court will be implemented more easily. If they are made into a monolithic one, In the end, I am afraid that their rural law will be implemented and the interests of the court will be damaged.

However, with the face of five surnames and seven families, I'm afraid you don't want other small aristocratic families to jump out to share their burden. This requires your shoulders to be strong enough to withstand their pressure. "

"Maintaining justice is the duty of this old man. You don't need to worry about this. Your Majesty doesn't want some clans to become too powerful and influence the government, and this old man knows that. However, you have to decide how to end the matter of privately granting the Wang family 300 million acres of land. Give the old man an explanation."

Wei Zheng's confession should naturally not damage his reputation. After all, he was the one who handed in the impeachment memorial. If it is an oolong, then his reputation as a royal doctor will be damaged.

"Well, Tian has always been under the name of the Anbei Protectorate's Mansion. It's just that my subordinates are unable to develop it, so I approached the Wang family to cooperate in the development and planting. The Wang family will take half of the products produced, and the Anbei Protectorate's Mansion will take half. Similar means I There may be many in the future, you have to catch them." Sun Xiangfu rubbed his nose in embarrassment and said.

Hearing this, Wei Zheng's face darkened, and the matter of privately granting the land was indeed an oolong intentionally released by Sun Xiangfu, but he accidentally became the gunner who provoked the family's struggle.
