Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 261 Captive to Shanyang

It is no coincidence to sell the land and then sell the products of the development land. Sun Xiangfu has seen it in later generations. He only needs to think one step ahead of people in this era to make enough money.

As for how to simplify a complex process, Xingfu Village also has a good example to learn from. Therefore, after scientific deployment, the productivity of the major workshops gradually began to increase, and batches of farm tools were produced.

But any production technology in this era is backward in Sun Xiangfu’s view. Research on improving farm tools has been going on all the time. For example, the lawn mower developed by Wang Fu and others only needs to be pulled by a cow to walk on the grass. The person sitting in the car shakes the gear machine, and the sharp knife against the ground will rotate rapidly, and the pasture will be cut off by the serrated blade. It only needs two or three people behind to tie up the cut grass.

Such a lawn mower only needs three or four people to operate, but the forage harvested every day can't be compared with more than a dozen people with sickles. The efficiency has been improved several times, but even so, Sun Xiangfu is still not satisfied. Imagine the lawn mowers of later generations. After a few minutes of driving, a few acres of grass will be mowed. Therefore, this thing needs to be improved.

And if the fodder can be harvested quickly and easily, large-scale captivity can be carried out outside Shanyang City. The advantage of captivity is that it reproduces quickly and grows meat quickly. There are fewer sheep that like to uproot when grazing. Grass on the grassland will also grow more abundantly.

As for cranes and forklifts, a lot of things that can help level the ground of the grassland have been developed. When the spring is warm and the snow melts in the coming year, Sun Xiangfu will be able to lead a few hundred thousand people to work hard on the grassland.

At the beginning of October, Zhao Qiang finally escorted a group of captives from the sea to Shanyang, there were more than 5000 people.

"Among you, who is Inugami Mita?"

Sun Xiangfu, who was wearing a mink fur cloak, sat on the horseback, looking at a group of shivering people at the gate of the city.

"Dogs on Sanda? My lord is talking about Dogs on Sandas, right?" Zhao Qiang understood Sun Xiangfu's meaning and gave his subordinates a look. Immediately, a dwarf in his twenties was whipped by the guards from the crowd kicked out.

"Gougami Sanda, didn't the stable prince of the Wa Kingdom send you to meet with me, the Tang Emperor? Why, that's how you went to meet with me?"

"You, although you are an official of the Tang Dynasty, you can't slander Prince Shotoku of my country of Japan. He is called a stable household, not a stable."

It was good that Inugami Mita didn’t explain, but when he explained, Sun Xiangfu’s subordinates burst into laughter. After Sun Xiangfu and many other guards and soldiers laughed heartily, they said, “In our Tang Dynasty, stables and stables are one and the same. Meaning, but I guess with your wisdom, it would be difficult to understand in such a flexible way. By the way, do you know how your brother Gou Shang Ertian died?"

Hearing this, Inugami Mita gritted his teeth and said, "It was killed by a traitor named Sun Zhengming in your Tang country."

"Hehe, I know a lot! I am Sun Zhengming."

Hearing Sun Xiangfu's self-reporting of his name, Inugami Santian's eyes were bloodshot immediately, and he was about to pounce on Sun Xiangfu, but he was kicked on the stomach by Zhao Qiang before he took a step, and immediately spit on the ground Blood.

"You must really want to kill me for revenge, I know this, but if I were you, I would want to kill that stable prince even more, do you know why?"

Looking at Sun Xiangfu's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Inugami Mita was full of doubts.

"Because your elder brother was ordered by him to come to Tang Dynasty to meet him, and he ended up being murdered by a cruel trick. In order to protect his own reputation and interests, he instead accused your elder brother of being a sinner and praised me for his good killing.

Then, I sent you to the Tang Dynasty to see you again.As a result, you know, you became my prisoner again, then, do you know how he treats your dog family? "

Since being captured, the dog has been almost isolated from the outside world for three days. Who would be bored to come and tell him what happened to the outside world to a prisoner!Therefore, while Sun Xiangfu's words made him look forward to it, he was also very scared, because the ending might not be good.

"If you want to say, this stable prince really did it. He even designated your dog family as a traitor to the Japanese country, and ransacked all the families to show his innocence to our majesty. If there is such a king in my Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid No courtier dares to enter the court as an official."

Sun Xiangfu spoke slowly, but it made Mita Mita, who was kneeling and crawling on the ground, feel his heart turned upside down. The word "full door copying" kept echoing in his ears, compared to Sun Zhengming who just killed his brother. He said that the stables made him even more hateful.

"puff."

A mouthful of blood spurted out wildly, and Inugami Mita fainted on the ground like a dead dog.

"How is it? I won it! Here are the ten pennies."

Sun Xiangfu smiled and spread his hands towards Zhao Qiang and Zhang Ke, and the faces of the two guard leaders turned black.

"Well, my lord, my subordinates have come all the way from the south of the Lingnan to work so hard, so I'd better avoid the ten puns!"

"Hey, you said that it's not hard for you to follow the adults, hehehe, my lord, I'll be spared!"

Seeing the obsequious smiles on the faces of the two, Sun Xiangfu was very proud. It turned out that they were betting just now whether Inugami Mita would vomit blood and faint after hearing the story Sun Xiangfu made up. The result was obvious. Sun Xiangfu won.

"Okay, for the sake of you being able to do things neatly on weekdays, I will let you spend the ten pennies. Take this dog Shangsanta to the cell, and hand over the rest to Old Tang. Let's go to the sauna hall." Go rub your back, just in time, tell me about the situation in Lingnan."

Sun Xiangfu snapped his fingers, then turned his horse's head and returned to the city. In fact, most of the captives' identities had been clarified in Lingnan before, and those who could be useful were actually Inugami Mita.

After a while, the three of them arrived at the sauna hall. There are many places here in Shanyang City. The high-end ones have been accompanied by young bearded girls to help scrub their backs. The low-end ones are similar to hot bathhouses. Soaking, steaming, and rubbing by yourself, but no matter what grade, the business is very good, because it will be very refreshing to sweat in the winter, and the appetite for eating will be much better. Sun Xiangfu asked his subordinate stewards to distribute free coupons for low-end saunas to the workers in various workshops. After they get used to the feeling of being clean and tidy, they will naturally feel uncomfortable if they don't wash for a few days.

After a while, in an independent steaming room, the three of them each wrapped a towel and steamed up. Zhao Qiang also began to talk about Lingnan with Sun Xiangfu.

The training base in Lingnan has been transferred to Yazhou. Baiyun Lake is now a place dedicated to farming. After nearly a year of construction, the training base in Yazhou has reached a considerable scale. The manpower recruited from all walks of life There are more than a thousand people in total. In addition to the manpower and sailors and boatmen who maintain the daily operation of the base, there are 800 people. In Zhao Long's view, the training has reached the standard. As for their combat effectiveness, the World War I off the coast of Dengzhou has proved it.

Zhao Long, equipped with ten water ships, and Feng An's dozen five-sail fast boats, with a total of less than 3000 people, defeated the Japanese, Silla, Baekje, Goguryeo, and Wang Lin's troops with almost zero losses. The five-party coalition, even a navy with a scale of more than [-] people, is vulnerable to these fast boats equipped with a large number of bed crossbows with a high range.

This also illustrates a problem from the side. Naval battles in this era can basically crush opponents with advanced equipment, but Sun Xiangfu only needs to use 800 men and ten ships to gain command of the sea.

This was a huge surprise for Sun Xiangfu. You must know that Chang'an's water steamer workshop has never stopped building water steamers. Moreover, it has also recruited many victims of disasters and expanded its scale. Now it can at least Thirty water ships with a load of more than [-] shi have been produced, and Yang Shunshui has now begun to develop large-scale ships with a load of more than [-] shi.

Twenty thousand shi may sound like a lot, but if you calculate it, the load is actually a little over a thousand tons. In later generations, fishing boats that go out to sea generally have a load of more than a thousand tons, and the larger ones have a load of 10,000 tons. Large freight ships can even reach It weighs [-]+ tons, but for a ship powered by sails, such a large ship is already the limit. No matter how big it is, the speed will become very slow.

"What do Zhao Long think?"

"Brother, what you mean is, continue to explore far away and find all the valuable things. You are not short of people. Our boat can go there and catch many natives."

"It's possible to have this, but don't send the people captured in the south to the north. They don't adapt here, so they can be put in Yazhou to reclaim and cultivate land! The dwarfs in the small countries in the east are hardy, so go there a few more times. , as much as you can catch."

"Well, those people in the east are smarter and easier to use than those in the south."

"It's one thing to fool people. Establishing a stable sailing channel is also crucial. When this year's new ship is launched, you all get organized and go to Tianzhu again! Bring more of our specialties over there, and also take away the ones we are in short supply. Bring more supplies back."

In fact, there is a shortage of minerals in Tianzhu, which is relatively scarce in Datang. Sun Xiangfu asked them to go to the far sea, hoping that they would accumulate sailing experience and finally reach South America safely. Those crops that can resist disasters and promote industrial development should not be taken. Come here, Sun Xiangfu is always uneasy.

"By the way, what kind of person is the Yuan Gai Suwen I wrote to ask you to release?" Sun Xiangfu suddenly remembered the guy who made Wang Hao make a special trip to Shanyang, and asked.

"This man is very good at martial arts. When he was at sea, his subordinates were almost dead and refused to surrender. If it wasn't for Silla, the people from Baekje would surrender first, and he still refused to give up."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu asked again, "Are there any of his subordinates among the prisoners?"

Zhao Qiang replied, "You only said to release him in the letter, and we only released one person. Among those prisoners, at least hundreds of them are his personal guards."

Sun Xiangfu nodded, turned his head to look at Zhang Ke and said, "Go back and have a good trial, I feel that there is something inside."

Zhang Ke replied, "Well, I'll take care of this when I get back. Where's that Japanese dog Shangtian?"

"This person can be used well. He is the son of the top rich family in the country of Wa. From his mouth, we can understand all the situation of the country of Wa. We use his revenge as a bait. I believe he will have a lot to say to you."

If there are good minerals in Tianzhu, Wadao is rich in precious metals, gold and silver, which are in short supply in the Tang Dynasty.However, the Japanese people in this period did not have the mining and smelting technology in place. If Sun Xiangfu didn't pick up this kind of cheapness, wouldn't it be unreasonable!
