Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 555 Goodbye Yinan
Sun Xiangfu never imagined that a person could gain weight so quickly. Although the Yi Nan a few years ago was strong, he weighed only 200 to [-] kilograms at most. I haven't seen him in just a few years, and his weight has reached at least [-] kilograms. Thanks to his many good horses, ordinary horses may not be able to run much when carrying him.

"This sports meeting is thanks to the more than [-] tents provided by Yi Nan Khan. Your Majesty will send a thank you gift later."

"Hahaha, some trivial matters are nothing to worry about. Master Sun, please enter the account, I have many things to talk to you about."

Yi Nan looked more enthusiastic than Sun Xiangfu, but Sun Xiangfu who came to greet him was a little embarrassed. This time he went out of the city and brought Yuchi Baolin and Dongzhu who had already arrived in Dingxiang. From them, I heard that Yi Nan has made a big move!
Yi Nan's big tent has just been set up, the floor is covered with camel wool blankets, the cooked beef and mutton on the wine table exudes the smell of spices, as for the silver jug ​​for wine, there are two long rows of snow-white skins. Orchids are hugging, Sun Xiangfu can smell the perfume on their bodies, just this extravagant ostentation, Sun Xiangfu knows why Yi Nan is so fat, eating and drinking and playing with women every day, it is no wonder if he is not fat, really not Knowing whether he can live for another ten years like in history.

After the guests and hosts were seated, Sun Xiangfu asked, "I don't know what Yi Nan Khan said? If it can be done, I will definitely not postpone it."

"It must be possible. In the entire Tang Dynasty, there is nothing better than you. Do you still remember those people I sent to Shanyang to learn farming?"

Sun Xiangfu thought for a while, nodded and said, "I remember, but after these people were sent here, they were controlled by several big families that cooperated with you. I have never asked about their situation."

"Hehehe, of course I know this. Now they suggest me to transfer these people who have learned farming techniques for several years back to Mobei to reclaim the fields and plant crops. You don't need to worry about them communicating with those people. I just I want to ask you to help me plan a fertile and high-yield field in the west of Mobei, and send a few people who know agricultural technology to help manage it, and it would be the best to set up the Ministry of Agriculture as in the Central Plains."

what's the situation?
The barbarian who has been raising cattle and sheep all his life, has changed his mind, is he going to farm?
Suddenly hearing what Yi Nan said, Sun Xiangfu was still a little dazed, but after thinking about it carefully, it is normal for Yi Nan to have this idea, Caijin is touching!
At the beginning, in order to help Yinan manage the people in Khan, Sun Xiangfu suggested that he use a large number of children from aristocratic families as officials. After these people have been operating in Xue Yantuo for several years, they have already made a staged progress.

But now, they want to use Xue Yantuo's land to earn more benefits.

You know, Yinan has already extended his sphere of influence from Tushiqi and Xiajiasi to Eastern Europe, occupying most of Kazakhstan in later generations, and bordering several Eastern European forces. That is to say, as long as he grows food, he can It can export forces to neighboring countries in Eastern Europe like the Shangqicheng family.

"It's not a difficult task, but if you want the imperial court to support you in agriculture, the crops you produce must also be subject to the imperial court's control. You have to pay attention to who you sell to and who you don't sell to." .” Sun Xiangfu said with a smile after he figured out the joints.

"I know this, and I will never use the food grown to support the enemy."

Seeing Yi Nan's expression that I understand, Sun Xiangfu knew that news of Li Shimin's discussions with the major families had already reached him. Now they all want to grow more land in the borderlands and export them at high prices Not only can sell well to the emperor, but also earn a lot of gold and silver.

"In that case, I'll let people go to the field examination room to fix the location, and then organize people to go there to reclaim it!"

"Extremely extreme, that..."

"If there's anything else, just tell me straight up. Neither Your Majesty nor I treat you as an outsider." Seeing Yi Nan's hesitation to speak, Sun Xiangfu smiled and said.

At this time, Yuchi Baolin also laughed at the side, "Zhengming and I are close buddies, as for elder brother's matter, just speak clearly."

Yi Nan rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, "Then I'll just say it straight. After the field is selected, it will definitely need a lot of people to plant it. Can you invite the skilled craftsmen under Master Sun to help us Xue Yantuo Build a city like Dingxiang?"

This guy really dares to mention that it turns out that planning and farming is just an introduction for him. The cost of building a city like Dingxiang City is not a little bit. The most important thing is that it will take up a lot of skilled workers. Time, there are really many places that Datang needs to build now, and it is the time when manpower is not enough.

Sun Xiangfu said with a look of embarrassment, "This is not to say that it can't be done, but our skilled craftsmen are not enough and we need to wait. You may not know that three years later, in Gangneung City, Shannan Province, we will hold the second There is a city twice the size of Dingxiang City that needs to be built over there!"

Yi Nan smiled and waved his hands and said, "No hurry, we can wait. Moreover, as long as the place is selected, we can do many basic things by ourselves. After three years, the fields will be opened, and the city walls and some residential buildings will be completed. After everything is repaired, you can send people to help us build the main buildings."

Yi Nan knew how long it would take for a city to be built to the level of Dingxiang. In the north, it could be completed in five years, which is a relatively good situation. Before that, Sun Xiangfu sent people to help them build Khan City in Ulan Bator , in fact, it is at the same level as Shanyang in the early days. Although it is very comfortable to live in, but he is full of extravagance and does not have much domineering heart. He is not very satisfied with that city. A city full of buildings and beautiful castles is what he wants now.

Moreover, there were some other reasons why he moved the city to the Eastern European border, because the price of goods in Tang Dynasty, especially the price of meat and leather goods, began to decline after the problem of wintering for the northern herdsmen was solved. Only when it is sold in places other than Datang can it be sold at a high price.

In addition, to the north, he has developed into the uninhabited Gobi Desert area. Only in the direction of Eastern Europe can he gather more people for his own use.

Neither Sun Xiangfu nor Li Shimin had the leisure to worry about the growth of the barbarians, because, as time went by, the Mobei herdsmen who were used to living a comfortable life would become more and more difficult to wield their swords, especially when they brought them a better life. Datang swung his saber.

Datang has mastered the supply of important materials such as Xue Yantuo's salt, iron, coal, etc. Once there is any change in him, only one commercial sanction is needed to bring them back to before liberation overnight. Because of Yi Nan's personal decision, the lives of the herdsmen in Mobei have regressed. It may not be necessary for Tang to intervene. Those herdsmen will come out to oppose him.

"Then it's settled."

Seeing Sun Xiangfu nodding his head in agreement, Yi Nan immediately beamed with joy, held up the kumiss, made a drink with Sun Xiangfu, clapped his hands again, and saw a beautiful Orchid handing a red note full of words to Sun Xiangfu Xiangfu sent it over, he pointed to the note, and said to Sun Xiangfu, "This is the gift I gave to His Majesty the Emperor this time, and as for the gift to you, it is the twenty orchids in this tent." , they are all white-skinned bearded girls under the age of [-] that I carefully selected and bought. They don't have any spots on their bodies. , please accept it!"

"Uh, Yi Nan Khan, you are too polite. I will forward the gift you gave to His Majesty, but I dare not take this Hu Nu, lest the ministers in the court say that I have colluded with you secretly. to seek illegitimate benefits."

No wonder Yi Nan was willing to use expensive perfume for all these orchids. It turned out to be a kind of packaging used as a gift. Sun Xiangfu still had to accept it, at worst, he would just go back and make it clear to Li Shimin.

When he saw the items on the gift list, Sun Xiangfu realized why Yi Nan's team was so huge. It turned out that the yaks they gave to Li Shimin alone amounted to [-], and there were [-] non-variety yaks. An eight-foot-tall red horse, and as for things that are not very valuable like sheep, he is willing to give them away.

The value of these things, roughly estimated, is also worth hundreds of thousands of strings.

After all, even if the use of rickshaws has become popular in various cities of the Tang Dynasty, a good eight-foot-high horse can’t be taken down without dozens of strings. Usually, it is also a seller's market, the target of being snapped up in the cattle and horse market.As for adult yaks, one head is worth at least eight to ten guan, because besides the high price of meat, yaks are useful in many places such as cowhide, tendons, and bones.

However, Yi Nan was not stupid, he gave such an expensive gift to Li Shimin, and he naturally expected Li Shimin's return gift. When it comes to valuable things, Datang has much more than Xue Yantuo.

After talking about the business, the topic of conversation became much easier. Yi Nan wanted to send his sons to study in Chang'an, and Sun Xiangfu agreed without even thinking about it. He also wanted to let Dongzhu live in Dingxiang City during the sports meeting. The opera house held several concerts, and Sun Xiangfu even raised his hands in favor of it.

You know, Dongzhu sings all Chinese songs, which are beneficial and harmless to the promotion of Han culture. Sun Xiangfu only hates that there are too few people in the art troupe, which cannot meet the viewing needs of more than 300 million foreign visitors in Dingxiang City To have Dongzhu, and Xue Yantuo's song and dance performance team that she trained in the past two years to join, that's what I wish for.

After that, Sun Xiangfu discussed with Yi Nan about Xue Yantuo's list of participants, projects, and the process of the opening ceremony. After finalizing the details, he left and returned to the city.

After returning to the mansion, Sun Xiangfu sent a letter to Li Shimin, saying hello to him in advance. For these gifts from Yi Nan, there is no need to return any gift, just give him an offer to buy the wool produced by Xue Yantuo Promise is good. In the future, the core industry of Dingxiang is the wool textile industry. As long as Dingxiang buys wool from Mobei, not only can Yi Nan earn back the things sent out, but also Xue Yantuo The whole body was tied more tightly to Datang's chariot.
