Chapter 298 Another year of spring plowing
Sun Xiangfu almost didn't need to think about it, so he refused, "Your Majesty, you can't let the people develop the habit of eating free food. In this way, sooner or later they will be used to making troublesome people. Take the road construction last year as an example. However, when the imperial court distributed food to them, it was misunderstood by many people as hard work.

In fact, this is not the case. This is the relief provided by the imperial court. During the disaster year, the little labor they put in cannot be exchanged for the food that can feed the whole family.

From now on, until the time when the crops are harvested in the first season of this year, all the government’s food distribution should also be defined as relief, otherwise, when His Majesty implements the corvee system in the future, the people will complain, although I am not optimistic about it. The corvee system of the imperial court, but before His Majesty abolishes it, people's hearts should be considered.

With the financial resources of Xingfu Village, it can indeed afford the expenses of planting seedlings in all the fields in Guanzhong, but there is no reason why Xingfu Village should bear it for nothing.

Our money is also our hard-earned money, and, have you ever thought about what will they think if you give them free money this year, but don't continue to give free money next year?
From my point of view, how to bestow kindness to the people is also a technical job. If you don’t have money, you can owe it first, and wait for them to produce in the fields and have income, and then you can pay it back. If one party suffers, the other party will benefit in vain. Things that don't last long.

Furthermore, half of the fields in Guanzhong are self-cultivated farmers. Are those rich and aristocratic families’ fields allowed us to give them away for free?They are very rich, but once the free delivery is enabled, they will not pay to buy it, they will think of various ways to take advantage of it. "

It's not that Sun Xiangfu has never thought of handing over all this matter to the emperor or the court, and he just needs to ask Li Shimin to collect the cost.

However, he knows Li Shimin too well. The treasury has no money to pay at all. If Li Shimin owes the debt, hehe, the money will probably not be recovered. Sun Xiangfu is only the largest shareholder of the village collective, and he has to consider everyone.

Li Shimin just said 'free delivery', and was pushed back by Sun Xiangfu for a long time. He was in a bad mood immediately, but after thinking about it, he felt that what Sun Xiangfu said was very reasonable.

A beggar, when you pass by him every day, if you give him a dollar, he may not be grateful to you, but if you don’t give it when you pass by one day, then all the little bit of gratitude he had for you before will be lost. It all disappears, and even turns into hating you, this is human nature.

Sun Xiangfu didn't know what vocabulary to use to explain the truth to Li Shimin, he could only understand it by himself.

This is different from Sun Xiangfu’s suggestion that Li Shimin make a northern tour and bring different kinds of things to the herdsmen in the north every year. It is a purposeful attempt to promote ethnic integration, and the methods and methods will evolve year by year. From the very beginning of sending things, Inviting to watch songs and dances, promoting culture, and giving them away for free are two different things.

Li Shimin remained silent, but Ma Zhou, who was the first to realize it, voiced his support for Sun Xiangfu, saying, "I think what Dudu Sun said is reasonable. It is rare for Xingfu Village to teach everyone farming techniques for free. If we provide it to the people for free Seedlings, I am afraid that the hearts of the people..."

At this point, Ma Zhou shut up, but Li Shimin knew what he wanted to say, and suddenly felt that he was too kind just now, even if it was given to the people for free, it shouldn't be given by Xingfu Village!It should be sent by the royal family to collect the hearts of the people.

Therefore, Li Shimin said again, "In this case, you can sell it to the common people at a fair price! I will make up for you for the money consumed in manpower and material resources. It just so happens that the benefits you received from them earlier were not handed over to me. , it will be deducted.”

Hearing that, although Sun Xiangfu pretended to be reluctant on the surface and agreed, he was actually laughing inwardly.

He deliberately used this matter to tell Li Shimin what he said just now. With the current wealth of Sun Xiangfu and the people of Xingfu Village, how could they care about such a small amount of money for seedlings!He didn't intend to make much money from these seedlings, but he just wanted to relieve Li Shimin of the small lump in his heart from receiving the benefits.

Asking for benefits is part of Sun Xiangfu's plan. He deliberately released the news to Wang Gui, and finally sold the news to several other companies, just to make them think they got the gossip, and they worked hard to prepare money and materials. The result is to raise the bidding price.

Thinking about it, Wang Gui, who has not successfully obtained the land, really wants to talk to Sun Xiangfu. If so, his next plan can be implemented.

Soon, Ma Zhou helped Li Shimin draft a very shameless imperial decree, stating that the cost of cultivating early-maturing seedlings in Xingfu Village was huge, so the cost was extremely high. Come out to subsidize the people and help the people bear half of the cost, so the people only need half the price to buy the seedlings cultivated in Xingfu Village.

If there is no accident, this imperial decree will be blown up by Ma Zhou in the newspapers. Now, he is familiar with the importance and routine of propaganda, and he has played it very well.

As for how the harem will live this year without receiving a penny from the imperial government's finances, the common people can only make up their minds. It is estimated that those who don't know the inside story will think that the emperor's family will also eat chaff and swallow vegetables this year, and live a year of hard life. Bar!This is all for the common people to buy seedlings at a low price, what a good emperor!

Then, the second half of the imperial decree is that if the people have no assets, they can borrow money from Xingfu Village to plant seedlings, and then repay by themselves after there is a harvest in the fields.

It is actually beneficial to let the people form a loan relationship with Xingfu Village. If you borrow something, whether you can get the money back depends on your follow-up.Only by ensuring that the people's fields are productive can Xingfu Village successfully recover the money it borrowed.

Li Shimin took a far-reaching view on this issue. After all, it would not be very good for the court to pursue the seedling loan.And with this policy backing up, those people who have been unable to uncover the pot also have hope.

In the next few days, the work in Xingfu Village was still busy, and all work continued in an orderly manner. Li Shimin did not return to Chang'an until the day before the Shangyuan Festival.

Promoting the national integration plan is equally important. At the Shangyuan Festival Gala, Li Shimin planned to let Li Chengqian stage another battle of Shuozhou on the stage. Moreover, this time, he would let more Turkic surrendered generals and even middle and low-level generals attend to watch, so that they could feel the battle of Shuozhou. To their own respect for them, and the benefits of common development.

Sun Xiangfu also returned to Chang'an with Li Shimin, and sang "The Love of Nature" with his wife Yu Xiuer on the stage, which made the audience's eyes shine. They brought too much shock, worthy of being a magnificent white lady.

And after a little change in the lyrics of this song, it is also a song with the main theme of conveying national integration and love.

Wang Gui insisted on coming to Sun Xiangfu after the Shangyuan Festival. The matter of taking the shares was unsuccessful, and the family criticized him.

"Zhengming, the old man has come to his senses now, did you tell the news to the other families as well?"

Wang Gui was old and well-bred, although his heart was filled with anger, his tone was restrained.If this happened to Wang Xu, he would probably come to Sun Xiangfu with an iron halberd and a longbow on his back to settle the score.

"How is it possible! Don't you know my position? However, there are quite a few people involved in this investment. It is inevitable that some people will disclose their words to other companies. This is beyond my control."

Sun Xiangfu directly denied it, and Wang Gui thought so too. He is the emperor's man. Since the Wang family fought against several other families, it was the emperor's will to help the Wang family suppress the other families. It is impossible for Sun Zhengming to play tricks on the Wang family. .

When Wang Gui was a little confused, he, Sun Xiangfu, said again, "However, don't think that the Cui family spent 350 million yuan to buy shares to take advantage of it. Seeing that the Wang family and I have cooperated well before, I will give you Let’s be honest! In fact, the investment in Weinan New City by me and others is not as large as the rumors, but only a few million. Pursue profit together, and hoard a large amount of materials needed for construction, so..."

Sun Xiangfu almost shared his plan with Wang Gui, saying that Wang Gui is convinced that Wang Gui is naturally happy to cheat other companies to benefit his own family, and Sun Xiangfu promised, Now, they will buy all the building materials hoarded by the Wang family at [-]% of the market price. You know, since the news of the construction of Weinan New City was released, the price of building materials on the market has risen several times due to the crazy purchase and hoarding of everyone. Even if Sun Xiangfu buys the building materials hoarded by the Wang family at [-]% of the current price, the Wang family can still make a lot of money.

And Sun Xiangfu got the building materials from the Wang family, and together with the funds raised by their own family, it was enough to overwhelm the building materials market.

When Wang Gui returned from the Sun Mansion, his face was wrinkled like a chrysanthemum and he smiled like a chrysanthemum. In this round, although his Wang family participated in the bidding, they did not really pay a lot of money. Instead, they made a fortune because of the building materials. , and the other families may suffer a big loss because of the batch of building materials he released. Now, when he goes to the elders' meeting, he can feel proud.

He didn't know that although Sun Xiangfu's action seemed to benefit the Wang family, it would make the other families who knew the truth hate the Wang family even more, make them break up completely, and provoke them to fight endlessly. It is the core of Sun Xiangfu's plan.

After the Shangyuan Festival, Sun Xiangfu and a group of technical backbones from Xingfu Village took tens of thousands of experienced farmers to the counties around Chang'an to guide the fertilization of the whole field. He only had more than half a month to do these pre-planting instructions Work.

Sun Xiangfu has no hope of letting the people of this period understand the principles of plowing and fertilization. The common people can't understand technical terms such as soil properties. Therefore, Sun Xiangfu can only appoint officials as officials. They grow crops and let the people do what he specifies.

The organic fertilizer produced by Xingfu Village cannot be used in the whole Guanzhong. At best, it would be good to use it on the fields of Huangzhuang, the Qin family, the Yu family and other old relationship households. The common people come by themselves to pick up the ashes, which has become something that every family of the farmers is doing. In addition, Sun Xiangfu also suggested that the Animal Husbandry Supervision Office set up another yamen to take care of the cesspools in each city.

With such a yamen in place, all the feces in the city are concentrated outside the city and drained into organic fertilizer. Although it cannot cover all the surrounding land in that year, the application of the wheel can be done once every two or three years at most.

With the plows and rakes provided by Xingfu Village and the help of thousands of livestock, the whole field in Guanzhong was progressing very quickly. Fortunately, at the end of the month, it rained for two consecutive days.

The rain itself did not bring any nourishment to the fields, but it made Sun Xiangfu conclude that there would be no more heavy snowfall in Guanzhong. After confirming this, he had a little more confidence in planting spring wheat early .

After two rounds of high yields, and the large and plump seeds selected from them were distributed to the farmers, Sun Xiangfu did not expect them to sow according to the sowing method he taught, because people are selfish and sow in their own fields When the time comes, he will definitely scatter a little more vigorously. Therefore, for sowing, Sun Xiangfu uses the experienced farmers he brought, and the local people can only watch and learn from the sidelines. Half of the common people knelt on the ground and begged tearfully, and Sun Xiangfu would not let his subordinates spread more. When they saw the harvest in summer, they would naturally know why.

During this period, the fields without organic fertilizers can reach an output of about four stones at most, and they are still planted in good mature fields. Sun Xiangfu has personally tested this data.

Although the output of four stones was a huge harvest for the people of this period, it was a shame for Sun Xiangfu.

One mu of field only harvested more than 400 catties, and it was still wet weight, why are you so fussy?
This year, the output of the experimental field of wheat fields planted by the children of the Nongmen must be at least six stones or more to be considered a pass, and seven stones or more to be considered excellent. Since the area of ​​​​the field in this period is smaller than that of later generations, the yield of seven stones is already very close. The output of later generations.

Sowing wheat is only the simplest part of spring plowing in Guanzhong this year. After all, this crop has been planted for thousands of years, and the common people are familiar with it. As for melons, most of the common people in this period have no eyes for these new crops. Therefore, the experienced hands who helped plant these two crops in the past two years have now become technicians who can lead a party to plant them. Li Shimin even deliberately let these People became county chiefs, village chiefs and other low-level administrative organization personnel.

However, because the scale of replacement is too large, it cannot be done all at once. Therefore, Li Shimin took the lead in issuing the rule that one must master farming techniques if one wants to become a village head or village head.

From now on, these lowest-ranking gentry will have work to do. If they don’t have the ability to guide the local people in farming, they will have to step down, and if they learn to farm, they will be able to become village chiefs or village chiefs. The people's enthusiasm for learning how to grow these crops suddenly rose. In the eyes of many ordinary people, it may be their dream to be the head of a village or village.

Tens of thousands of people are supplied with food and drink every day, and only Xingfu Village has enough reserves to support it. At this time, locust cakes have become one of the staple foods for everyone, and the darkness before dawn is coming.

After the Chinese New Year, the price of grain began to rise all the way. Those who had responded to Wang Lin's call and hoarded the grain in their hands were more tightly covered. More and more people in Guanzhong had no food at home, and spring plow At this time, the people were busy with the farming, and they had to consume a lot of physical strength. They had to have enough food, so Li Shimin had to find a way to start relief.
