Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 257
The beggar servant was stopped by Sun Xiangfu's words. At this time, the Huihe tribe was not too powerful, and the internal management was still in a state of disarray. Some young men were even still in Jieli's military camp. Not all Huihe people recognized his position as patriarch.

However, now that he has made up his mind to come to Sun Xiangfu, he is naturally prepared. Is it the usual style of their Huihe tribe? Tang is a more powerful force than Turks led by Jieli and Xue Yantuo led by Yinan, and now this force is trying to expand outward.

"I don't know, if my Huihe tribe is willing to surrender to Datang, will Datang cooperate with us?"

Well, this bone beggar is more righteous than Sun Xiangfu imagined. However, Sun Xiangfu did not agree to him, but looked at him with a smile and said, "Surrender to my Tang Dynasty? Have you thought it through?"

Some beggars who couldn't understand Sun Xiangfu's smile said, "My Huihe tribe doesn't have the strength to build my own khanate, so I have to choose one side to be my vassal. Between Turks, Xue Yantuo and Datang, I prefer to choose Datang. Especially after coming to Shanyang City. The greenhouses you built can really make our cattle and sheep survive the cold winter safely. You may not know what this means to us nomads, as long as our cattle and sheep are not frozen in winter If you die, the speed of reproduction will be very fast in the coming year, and after a few years, there will be endless cattle and sheep.”

Doesn't Sun Xiangfu know the meaning of warming the house?What a joke, he spent huge sums of money to build greenhouses, hired thousands of herdsmen to harvest hay on the grasslands, just to let the livestock in the area under his jurisdiction survive the winter safely, and he asked Xi Jun to buy and spread the phrase on the grasslands' Please come to Shanyang for the winter, there is food, grass, and greenhouses', not only for his own people, he welcomes all tribes who can no longer survive on the grassland to come and seek refuge.

However, his so-called refuge is not a submission in the traditional sense of the Uyghur tribe, but a requirement for the tribal leader to completely hand over the power in his hands, so that the people under him are like the Turkic people in Shanyang City, under the control of the government. What's more, the land they originally occupied will also be planned by the imperial court. At most, you, the leader who took the lead in surrender, will be given a title, some gold and silver, so that you can live decently.

"That's right, surrender to my Tang Dynasty, you can not only develop the dairy industry, but also have warm houses for cattle, sheep and herdsmen to spend the winter. As for the shortage of salt and iron, it will no longer exist, but have you really thought about it clearly? ?”

He was a little confused by Sun Xiangfu's question, "Well, think about it, think about it clearly!"

"Well, I'll tell you how to surrender! First, you need to give a memorial to the court, and second, you need to hand over your military power and people. You yourself may be awarded a title by His Majesty. Whether you will be given a real power or an official position?" It is clear, but it will definitely be able to live a comfortable and rich life."

The bone beggar was stunned and said, "Uh, isn't this different from Tuli?"

Sun Xiangfu shook his head with a smile and said, "There is a big difference. Tuli is defeated and begged for surrender, but you are willing to surrender. In order to show others, His Majesty will definitely treat you very highly and even appoint you as an official with real power."

On this point, Sun Xiangfu is not wrong at all. Historically, Ashina Simo, who was subordinate to Jieli, came here and became the king of the county. In the Tang Dynasty, when no one was available, it was inevitable to use a large number of these demoted officials, not to mention the bone beggars who took the initiative to seek refuge.

Hearing this, the begging bone servant was a little moved. As the leader of a faction, he still knew some customs of the Han people. To put it simply, it was a good face.For a man with no ambitions like him, it is very cost-effective to exchange military power of no practical use for the title of a duke, or even a county king. You must know that Sun Xiangfu's current title is nothing more than a He is only the county magistrate, and the power he holds is much greater than that of the tribal leader, Qigupu.

"Then, can I ask you to help me write the memorial and hand it over to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? You know, we Huihe people are not good at writing and ink."

Is this the decision?Sun Xiangfu said in surprise, "Are you sure you want to surrender to me, Datang? This is no joke!"

The bone beggar nodded firmly and said, "I'm sure."

Sun Xiangfu didn't know what kind of life the Huihe people lived. As a force that surrendered to the Turks, they were once exploited by Jieli and Tuli in recent years, and their life was already on the verge of collapse. Lin gave them a little benefit, and they rushed to the outside of the pass to block Li Jing. They really couldn't break their relationship with the Taiyuan Wang family.

Seeing his firm answer, Sun Xiangfu said, "I can help you write this memorial, and I will do my best to help you get more benefits. In addition, you can help me in tomorrow's auction. ······"

Sun Xiangfu had a very late talk with the bone begging servant, and after sending him away, Sun Xiangfu let out a long sigh. Although the bone begging servant could not represent the entire Huihe tribe, he could serve as an example. What is it that he invested so much money in Shanyang City to develop people's livelihood?
It is for this moment, with a real good life, that the nomads can’t live without the city of the Han people, they can’t live without the Han people, and gradually come over. As long as the most critical basic development is completed in the past two years, in the future, he can Directly use food, wine, and greenhouses to lure all the herdsmen on the grassland, change their nationality, and live under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

Just imagine what it would be like if a developed country opened its immigration policy of unconditional transfer of nationality to poor countries in later generations!It is estimated that within a few days, the population of that poor country will be emptied, because even taking poverty subsidies in this developed country is better than living as a rich person in that poor country.

Promoting economic development and subduing others without fighting is what Sun Xiangfu wants to do. For this reason, he must continuously improve the productivity of Datang, especially in agriculture, so that he can supply enough food and clothing for everyone. Have the basic conditions to rule everyone.

A memorial to the beggar servant requesting surrender to the Tang Dynasty was written late at night. Sun Xiangfu had done so much work in Shanyang, and it was finally time to harvest. He even directly suggested in the memorial that Li Shimin make the beggar servant a county king Regardless of whether the bone beggars lead all the Huihe people to express their surrender, first occupy the name, and when this set of development model in Shanyang is gradually implemented in farther places, it will not Encountered so much resistance.

In the early morning of the next day, Sun Xiangfu was dressed and washed under Yu Xiuer's service. Even when he got into the carriage, he squinted his eyes to catch his sleep. Li Shimin is a wise man, and Sun Xiangfu doesn't have to worry too much about how he makes decisions. He is most worried The problem is that the appetite of the five surnames and the seven families is too great, and the small and medium-sized families are not given the opportunity to develop outside the customs, and the small and medium-sized families do not have the strength and courage to fight against them.

In the flower building in Sanggan River, Wei Shuxie, who just got up, received a letter. He didn't need to read the signature, but just glanced at the Song style characters on the envelope, and he knew it was written by Sun Xiangfu.

"Let our Guanlong family take a few pieces of second-class land? That's no problem."

After reading the letter, Wei Shuxie went to the private room next door. Yang Hong had a great time coming to Hualou with him last night. He knew that Yang Hong, who had sold five thousand serfs, had a lot of money. , I also have hundreds of thousands of pens in my hand, I can lend them to him, and they, who have eaten toffee last night, also feel that this is a good business.

Accompanying Wei Zheng to have a simple breakfast at the inn where he stayed, Sun Xiangfu stopped by and told him about the bone beggar begging to surrender to Tang Dynasty last night, but Wei Zheng had two extra steamed cakes for breakfast today.

"The old man only now knows the power of your methods. Don't worry, the old man will not mention money matters after returning to Chang'an. If you can use this method, people on the grassland will be willing to be Han people from now on." , the old man tried his best to persuade those scholar-bureaucrats to change their views on alien races."

"So, I would like to thank Mr. Wei. However, it is not for you to return to Chang'an empty-handed. If you get enough cash later, you still have to escort a batch of money back to Chang'an. Of course, the money cannot be made public. Buying food for His Majesty to relieve the disaster victims, I happen to know that a large amount of food will enter Chang'an after a while."

The large amount of grain that Sun Xiangfu mentioned was naturally the grain in Wang Hao's hands, but he couldn't say half of it when he talked to Wei Zheng, so he selectively talked to Wei Zheng about the agreement he had with Wang Hao. The meaning is that Wang Hao, a big landlord in the south of the Yangtze River, plans to plant Champa rice in the south of the Yangtze River next year. Because he is afraid that the grain he has grown will be too much, he wants to sell it. In order to let him sell the grain in Guanzhong, The Anbei Protectorate's Mansion signed a grain purchase agreement with him. From now on, all the grain that Wang Hao grows will be sold to the Anbei Protectorate's Mansion at a price that is [-]% lower than the market price.

And why does Sun Xiangfu need so much food!The Anbei Protectorate, even with the population of the Huihe tribe, the total population is only two to three million people. Each person eats twenty stones every year, how much food does he eat in a year?
It is less than 600 million shi, but Wang Hao can grow more than 1000 million shi of grain a year. It is impossible for a person to eat more than six catties of rice a day. Cooked rice is more than ten catties. Even Xue Li couldn't eat so much.

Therefore, at Sun Xiangfu's place, at least several million stones of rice will be produced every year, and these rice will be used by Sun Xiangfu to make spirits, make perfume, or feed more nomadic people who have come to seek refuge.

For example, Shiwei, Mohe and other ministries who are still living a semi-savage life also have the potential to be recruited!The farmer uncles in Datang have food here, as long as they are willing to surrender, you don’t need to go hunting in the snow and ice to find food. The rice here will make you eat until your stomach is full. This is your greenhouse so that you can be comfortable every night. sleep.

Of course, these are just Sun Xiangfu's ideas. This world is full of variables. The aristocratic families and the rulers on the grassland may not allow Sun Xiangfu to dig their roots. Therefore, after breakfast, the two of them fought The spirit rushed to the auction venue.
