Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 379 Suggestions for Shuzhong
Sun Xiangfu has many jobs, and he is busy with the imperial examination and the collection of war preparation materials, so in the short term, he won't have much time to spend on the work of the Ministry of Agriculture. Here, he just made a request to let his subordinates Just follow suit.

Unexpectedly, after he announced a series of management structures, all officials at the Langzhong level were scrambling to take up local posts. Sun Xiangfu knew that it was not uncommon for them to get [-] more monthly salaries for local posts, but It's because I don't want to continue doing things in front of Sun Xiangfu, and I feel embarrassed.

So, soon, the list of chief officials, main assistant officials, and some officials who were sent to various provinces was finalized. Disciplined, Sun Xiangfu didn't have so much free time to see how they did things, so he returned home just in time for dinner.

"Finally we can have a family reunion and have a meal together. Are the two little ones good today?"

Sun Xiangfu touched Huanhuan and Lele's little cheeks, but he responded with a milky yawn.

A one-month-old child basically sleeps after eating. After the face and head are rounded, the outlines that resemble Sun Xiangfu and Yu Xiuer come out. The daughter Huanhuan is more like Sun Xiangfu, and the son Lele is more like Yu Xiuer. Sometimes compatriots of the same mother have very similar looks, and sometimes, their looks and personalities are very different, and they belong to the kind of differences.

"Husband, my concubine's health is already well, and my mother has prepared a lot of congratulatory gifts to send over, urging us to put a full moon wine!"

With the support of Chuntao and Hongmei, Yu Xiuer also came to the table to eat. These two children of Yu Xiuer are Sun Xiangfu's eldest son and eldest daughter. With Sun Xiangfu's current status, it is natural that he should do it more beautifully, and Li Shimin It's time to announce the imperial decree of Wushuang's grace.

The eldest daughter, Sun Wanting, was conferred the title of county lord that only the daughter of a county king would have, but now she is no longer granted a fief, it is just a name and a little salary, called Mianyang County lord.

The eldest son, Sun Jing, wanted to inherit the title of Sun Xiangfu, so he was made the captain of Qin Xun Yiwei. This is the official rank of Wu San, the highest rank among all the relatives, compared to the eldest sons of Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin. The titles are all high, this is entirely because Sun Xiangfu's many contributions cannot be rewarded, and the compensation has been paid to his children.

"Let's just put it on! But I'm very busy with my husband, so let's arrange the banquet or something directly in the Wangjiang Tower! At the mansion, let Uncle De arrange it a little bit. I will send out all the posts tomorrow, which happens to be the fifteenth day after tomorrow." , People and months are two rounds, after serving their wine, I will be an invigilator for my husband."

"Your Majesty likes to assign all duties to Husband. You don't know, after he went through all the yamen in Shanyang, he said he wants Husband to be Prime Minister!"

Chuntao's words sounded like complaints, but they were actually a kind of pride. In a country, how many people are talented prime ministers.

"Your husband is still too young. If you are prime minister, I'm afraid you won't be able to overwhelm civil and military officials. You'd better work in your field of expertise for a few years. How does it feel to go to the Ministry of Agriculture today?"

"Xiu'er, who knows me, is not good at strategic planning as a husband. He is actually not suitable to be your majesty's prime minister right now. A department like the Ministry of Agriculture that manages people's livelihood is the most suitable husband."

In Li Shimin's dynasty, foreign wars appeared from time to time. Strategists like Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, and Changsun Wuji who knew military affairs were more suitable to be his prime minister. Political talents were not weak before. Xiao Yu , Wen Yanbo, Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, Ma Zhou and other talents, and now there is an additional Sun Xiangfu, which can be regarded as a lot stronger. With a strong enough internal political management, the national power will be pushed to a higher level, which will allow Li Shimin In terms of foreign wars, it is more smooth, and this country is stronger than in history, that is inevitable.

"The concubine knows the husband, but the husband knows the concubine's body?"

When Yu Xiuer asked back, it made Sun Xiangfu a little embarrassed, because she couldn't understand Yu Xiuer's expression at this time, so she retreated and said, "A woman's mind is the most difficult to guess. My husband is afraid that I will make a wrong guess and make you angry."

Hearing this, Yu Xiu'er didn't make things difficult for him anymore, and said with a serious face, "Since your husband has married and had children, you should consider the inheritance and reproduction of the family, and you should write a book earlier to make my grandson's family history more comprehensive." In addition, a good man has three helpers, husband, you should also work hard to give Jinger a few helpers."

As Yu Xiu'er said, she looked at Hongmei and Chuntao's stomachs, which made the two daughters ashamed, and Sun Xiangfu was dumbfounded.

It's no wonder that Hu Yuxiu'er has such thoughts, she is a daughter of a family, her education naturally made her develop a character that likes to think about these family issues.

Regarding the matter of having children, Sun Xiangfu just let nature take its course. He didn't want to establish a family like five surnames and seven families, but he should really consider this matter when writing a book. After all, in order to maintain the rigor of knowledge, use As a textbook for educating future generations, it needs to be carefully crafted. Once there are mistakes, it may harm thousands of years. This process will be relatively slow.

Moreover, Nongmen should also have a relatively comprehensive and systematic teaching system. Only in this way can the knowledge be passed on and promoted well in the future. Like the present situation, one hammer to the east and one hammer to the west, what is there to teach and what is lacking It's not okay to study the status of something.

"What Xiu'er said is that after a while of busy work, the husband should calm down and summarize some of his knowledge to form a system."

A successful man always has a woman holding a whip behind him. Yu Xiuer wielded the whip, so Sun Xiangfu had to work hard. He had been abstinent for more than a month when he came back from Shanyang. Ban, after Sun Xiangfu took a beautiful bath, he released all the firepower he had accumulated during this period of time on Hongmei and Chuntao. When he went to court the next morning, he was carried into the carriage in a daze went above.

"Zhengming, after presiding over this year's imperial examinations, I will go to Central Sichuan to take office. When will you give me your development plan for Central Sichuan!"

In front of the gate of the imperial city, Xiao Yu unceremoniously poured himself a cup of milk tea from Sun Xiangfu's carriage, and woke up Sun Xiangfu who was still confused.

"Uh, don't be surprised by Xiao Xiang for sleeping late last night." Sun Xiangfu sat up from the sofa in the carriage, wiped his face, poured himself a cup of milk tea, drank a few sips, and said, "Sangma in Sichuan The industry was originally the largest and best industry in Datang, and it was also the most difficult industry to adjust. With the large-scale planting of cotton, linen fabrics will inevitably be eliminated, and silk will also be affected to a certain extent. After Xiao Xiang went to Sichuan, The first thing is to eliminate most of the cultivation of hemp. As for the silkworm, there is no need to worry, and the production can be slightly expanded, because in the future, the silk industry in central Sichuan will have two markets that are difficult for others to grab. With the various ministries of Yunnan, as long as you strengthen your trade with them, the demand for the silk industry will greatly increase."

Silk, whether it is a colder plateau or a hotter southern tribe, has a relatively high demand for it, because it is soft, comfortable, dust-absorbing, and has strong UV resistance. Nobles on the plateau like it.

Moreover, it is cool, breathable, and not prone to bacteria and decay. It is the best material for loincloths used by people in the southern subtropical region, and people in the south also like it.

And the people in these two places don’t know how to raise silkworms, spin silk, or weave silk cloth. It just so happens that Sichuan is rich in these things, and it’s just at their doorstep, occupying a natural geographical advantage. If silk from other places is transported to Shu Among them, the freight alone has increased the cost a lot, and the quality may not be as good as that of Sichuan brocade. Therefore, the markets in these two places are almost left to Shuzhong to do exclusive business.

Hearing Sun Xiangfu's proposal, Xiao Yu nodded, and said, "Let a large number of people who grow hemp go to farm, they may not be able to grow, and hemp paper used to be one of the pillar industries in central Sichuan. Now, Guanzhong and All over the country, straw paper has begun to be used on a large scale, and you also said that this industry will be eliminated, so how do you arrange these people?"

"Open up a new industry! As far as I know, Sichuan pepper and oranges are everywhere in the mountains, and some people can grow them on a large scale in the mountains. The price of pepper is not cheap, and there are more oranges, which can be made into cans. , not only can be sold to the plateau, but also can be sold to all parts of the country by water, so it should not be difficult to make a new pillar industry."

In this era of lack of seasonings, the Zanthoxylum bungeanum that has the function of dispelling dampness is naturally a favorite of the people, especially the southerners. However, due to the high cost of transporting the goods from Sichuan, although the Zanthoxylum bungeanum is good, it is not affordable for ordinary people. , Without a big market, no one will expand the industry, which is a vicious circle.

If the quantity of goods is increased and sold to the whole people with small profits but quick turnover, this industry may not be impossible to revitalize. Moreover, with the improvement of Datang's economic level, the era of unaffordable seasonings will gradually become a thing of the past.

The canned peach meat that was tested in the Guanzhong market this year is an example. Once it was launched, it has been loved by everyone, and it has even become one of the essential gifts for ordinary people to visit relatives and friends. Because the factory has not yet been built , just produced some in a temporary workshop, but it also made a fortune for Empress Changsun.

The production cost of canned oranges may be lower than that of canned peaches. The plateau lacks fruits and sweets, so there should be a great demand for it. In terms of sales, there is basically no need to worry. As long as Xiao Yu makes it, it will definitely drive a lot of the economy in Sichuan.

When the two talked about this, the gate of the imperial city had already been opened, the coachman called the two to go up to the court, and the two got off the carriage, and continued to chat while walking.

In addition to the pepper and canned orange industries, Sun Xiangfu also wants to expand the tea industry in central Sichuan. With the development of the economy and population in the North, the gap for tea is even greater. Moreover, as the business with the countries in the Western Regions becomes more frequent , the export volume of tea will also increase.

In addition, the hot and humid weather in central Sichuan is very suitable for planting many kinds of commonly used medicines. Sun Xiangfu also has plans for this aspect. He only regrets that he is too busy to go to Central Sichuan to inspect it in person. In the transaction of the Tibetans, they can buy more Tibetan medicines. The value of many Tibetan medicines cannot be calculated in terms of money, and they have a great strategic reserve value. Even because the medicine in Tubo is underdeveloped at this time, many good medicinal materials, They don't know each other. They are just like weeds, and they can just be cheap for merchants in central Sichuan.

However, their whispering was quickly interrupted by Wei Zheng. This old man came to ask Sun Xiangfu for glasses. Li Shimin asked him to practice the law again yesterday morning. The workload of writing was huge, which hurt his eyes a bit. no more.

For this reasonable request, Sun Xiangfu was naturally embarrassed and refused to agree, and asked him to go to Xingfu Village another day, and specially made a pair of glasses for him according to his vision. Of course, the purpose!It is also to give him more opinions on the matter of Fa revision.

Datang cannot only have laws governing the behavior of officials and common people. Every industry must legislate. First of all, the labor laws that protect the working people at the bottom must be formulated reasonably. Legislation is also needed. Moreover, many new legislations in this area cannot be completely finalized. It is important to allow future generations to modify them due to changes in the environment. It is very important to keep pace with the times.
