Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 283 Dare to think, dare to do
Now, there is not much time to chat with Li Shimin alone. Taking this opportunity, Sun Xiangfu naturally wants to tell Li Shimin more about his own plans. According to the implementation progress, make corresponding preparations in advance and formulate relevant policies.

For example, Anbei Dadufufu, in the next three years, at least seven or eight cities will be built in the territory, such as Dingxiang City, and the city in Urumqi, which was named Shangqi by Sun Xiangfu in later generations, is located in Urumqi. The city in Lanchabu area named Ulan by Sun Xiangfu is located [-] miles north of Liangzhou and belongs to the center of the former Huihe territory. It was named Tai'an city by Sun Xiangfu and is located in the east near Shiwei territory , named by Sun Xiangfu as the Baishan city, these are county-level cities like Shanyang.

There are also smaller ones, such as Anyuan and Ningyuan counties between Pianguan and Shanyang, such as Hexing County, Guixing County, and Changxing County between Shanyang and the future Ulan City. It may take seven or eight years or even ten years for the infrastructure construction between the cities to be completed. How to open up the situation and how to set a development path for the people in these cities requires a long-term vision. As far as the current court is concerned , there are very few local officials who see the specific development plan so far.

"In your plan, in the future these cities will house 70 people in the Anbei Protectorate, and if they are shared, there is no need to build the city so large!"

After listening to Sun Xiangfu's plans for the future, Li Shimin interrupted.Looking at Sun Xiangfu's appearance, the land sale price of nearly 2000 million guan was not intended to be given to the imperial court at all. After all, the investment in a large city at the county level is definitely more than one million guan, which is not a big deal.

"Your Majesty, there are 10 families of people who moved to Anbei Dadu Protectorate, about 35 people, and there are nearly [-] herdsmen gathered from the grassland by Weichen, about [-] people.

In addition, there are about 20 peasant households moved by the major families, a total of more than 20 people, and nearly 100 households, or almost 150 people, that Hechen brought back from Wei Gong this time, which is already more than 300 million Population, if counting the sons of those aristocratic families brought over from Yi Nan, the total number of families may be nearly [-] million. Moreover, once the citizenship system is implemented, I estimate that the actual population of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate will be very large in the future. It may reach [-] million, or even more, so it is necessary to build a bigger city. "

Hearing the data reported by Sun Xiangfu, Li Shimin said in a daze, "Three, 300 million? Why is that?"

"Because now the young and strong laborers in Shanyang City can earn more than usual money every month, including women, and in other places in Datang, even the people in Guanzhong can hardly achieve this income. Therefore, a large number of people in Guanzhong Young adults will go outside the customs to make a living.”

Hearing this, Li Shimin looked at Sun Xiangfu in disbelief and said, "So, are you building a city for 300 million people?"

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu shook his head with a smile and said, "No, my city will continue to be built. Ten years later, 500 million or even more people will go to the north and have places to live. For the future, I am very happy." Dare to think."

Hearing this, Li Shimin was silent for a moment, then shook his head silently and said, "It turns out that you have dug such a big hole in this civil system, but I dare not let you take such a risk. Five million young and strong, do you want me to move the whole country outside the customs?"

Sun Xiangfu laughed when he heard the words, "Hehe, it is true that Datang may not have 500 million young adults, but after ten years, there will be more than that. In addition to the household registration list that I have reported to the court in the past two years, our Datang should now There are more than 350 million households!"

At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there were only more than 200 million households, and it has been growing slowly. Until the Zhenguan Dynasty, there was no explosive growth, but it was mainly affected by successive wars. But this year, the population has experienced a wave of large growth.

Firstly, the entire Turkic people were brought into the Tang Dynasty, and then the Tibetan slaves of the aristocratic family were dug out by Sun Xiangfu and registered as registered permanent residence. Moreover, the population of Lingnan began to grow explosively after the pot belly disease and some epidemics were brought under control. However, these aspects alone will not allow Datang to have a population of tens of millions after ten years. Sun Xiangfu has other methods.

After his order, Lingnan's fleet will add at least tens of thousands of people to Datang every year.In addition, starting next year, the Hu merchant team will bring a large number of people from the Western Regions to Datang every year, and they are all young and strong. The list of goods in short supply is the pit dug for them by Sun Xiangfu. The population they transported to Datang will be a terrifying figure. At that time, the country's economic center of gravity will be in the north, and the population of Sun Xiangfu's jurisdiction will exceed 500 million, which should be an easy thing to do.

Li Shimin still hesitated, "Your heart is too big, I am worried that something will go wrong."

"Your Majesty, isn't it because of my daring to think and your daring to do that the Tang Dynasty won the victory over the Turks? The things I told you just now are not as good as when the Guanzhong catastrophe happened. It is still dangerous to launch a national war!"

When Sun Xiangfu said this, Li Shimin also felt that it was reasonable. He dared to fight, but why didn't he dare to govern?
After turning the corner in his mind, Li Shimin looked at Sun Xiangfu again and said, "You just say, in your plans, what will the government and the imperial court do for you!"

"It's simple! Next year you go to the north to send clothes to our herdsmen, and the year after that, you go to the north to send some salt tea, and the year after that, visit our herdsmen's homes, eat with them, and invite them to the city It's a play or something, isn't it simple?"

"That's it?"

"Yes! You just need to go over and give the people a friendly smile, wave to them, and express your condolences and concern."

This set is also very effective even for later generations. Ordinary people only need a smile, a handshake, and a cordial greeting from the leaders of the country, and they can be excited for a long time, and even remember it for a lifetime. The behavior of the emperor who is held high on the altar is completely different, but he can be loved by the common people.

Seeing Li Shimin's puzzled look, Sun Xiangfu said again, "It's just right, don't you want to entertain Dongzhu tomorrow? You can use her as an experiment, and you can ask her if the people on the grassland have enough food and grass for this winter. Whether the clothes are warm, whether there is a doctor when you get sick and catch a cold, just pretend to be a benevolent elder.”

Li Shimin interrupted when he heard the words, "Nonsense, do I need to pretend? I am already, so you can tell me directly, what is the benefit of doing so!"

"Your Majesty, be it the Turkic people or the Xueyantuo people, they are all human beings. If you treat them well, they will naturally treat you well. If you can eat and clothe yourself warmly, who would want to fight with others with a knife! Now I have the confidence to let them To eat and clothe warmly, what is needed is you to accept their hearts."

"Calm down? That's the reason."

After Li Shimin figured it out, he put his hands behind his back and began to meditate. Sun Xiangfu has confidence in his acting skills. As long as he has figured out his own script, there is no problem at all with fooling Dongzhu and the people she brought. of.

After walking for a while, Li Shimin looked up at Sun Xiangfu and said, "Your method is good, simple and practical!"

"That's right, otherwise can I mention it to you? By the way, you have to show a special love for Dongzhu's performance dedicated to you. It's best to create a storm."

"Do I still need you to teach me about this? Do you think that without my promotion, the bamboo pole dance in the south of the Five Ridges can become popular in the entire city of Chang'an?"

"That's good, that's good, you don't know! Music, singing and dancing are the simplest things to spread culture. When they have a certain understanding, we will give them beautiful poems and songs, without a single effort." In 200 years, they will be completely indistinguishable from us."

Hearing this, Li Shimin asked in surprise, "One to two hundred years?"

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "So! In order to shorten this time, we have to work harder! There are only a few decades in life."

What he said made Li Shimin feel inexplicably melancholy. It is true that there are not a few decades in his life. In fact, you can get married. In this period, people over the age of 30 can call themselves old men, and Li Shimin is qualified to call himself an old man.

"Okay, I will support you as before, I hope you don't let me down. It's getting late today, so go back and make arrangements. Tomorrow I will hold a banquet for Dong Zhu in Wangjiang Tower. There are quite a few!"

"The minister will leave."

"Wait a minute, I have time to visit the queen in the harem, she's been talking about you a lot these days!"

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu stopped his figure, and asked Li Shimin, "Have you had an attack of Qi disease recently?"

Seeing Sun Xiangfu asking about this, Li Shimin's expression turned dark and he said, "Occasionally, with the medicine prescribed by Daoist Sun, it will keep you safe."

Sun Xiangfu gave Li Shimin a reassuring look and said, "I entrusted the Hu merchants in the Western Regions to find some vegetables that are good for the heart and lungs, and they will start planting them next year. If your mother eats them regularly in the future, it should be good for her illness."

"You have a heart, by the way, how did you know that there is such a thing in the Western Regions?"

Sun Xiangfu was taken aback when he heard the words, and found a reason indiscriminately, "I like to study this thing, and I also like to inquire about these things when chatting with Hu merchants in the Western Regions. No, I just heard them talk about the efficacy of one of the dishes. Just let them get some seeds."

"Well, we would like to have more talents like you in Tang Dynasty, that's enough, let's go back! For food, we can choose a good place in Huangzhuang later, and have more varieties."

Li Shimin waved to Sun Xiangfu, and Sun Xiangfu bid farewell again and walked down the city.

On the city wall, Li Shimin was still standing on it, blowing the cold wind. After a long time, he flung his sleeves and sighed, "Sun Zhengming is right. I should dare to think and do something more. There are only a few decades in life."

However, Sun Xiangfu, who left the palace under the leadership of the servant, met Li Chengqian who was waiting for him at the gate of the imperial city.

"Prince, why are you here?"

Li Chengqian is much taller than before. Seeing Sun Xiangfu staring at him in a daze, he smiled and pointed to his carriageway, "Hehe, please get in the car, teacher, let's go to Wangjiang Tower and talk about it later!"

　Thank you for the reward on October [-]. It’s the last few days of this month, and I’m very flustered. I’m asking for a monthly ticket, a recommendation ticket, and I really want to make an update next month!
