Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 570
Dongzhu's singing level has improved a lot. This voice has been trained in concerts in various parts of the grassland all year round. Moreover, the accompaniment team she has selected and trained is very unique, and can combine to enhance her original voice. Veteran singers like Li Xiangdie and Yao Hongxiu were all amazed.

Of course, the performance program is not the purpose of Yi Nan's tinkering with this concert. Only he himself knows the benefits of Dongzhu's concert tour in various departments of the Mobei Grassland in the past few years. The trade exchanges have played a very positive role, allowing Yinan to easily collect materials from various ministries and concentrate on foreign trade to obtain huge profits.

Therefore, after a few songs, Dongzhu began to promote the products of the Xueyantuo Khanate on the stage, and emphasized that the geographical advantage of the Xueyantuo Khanate leading to Europe shocked many countries around the Caspian Sea and Aral Sea It turns out that they can trade with the Xueyantuo Khanate by walking such a short distance. Moreover, the Xueyantuo Khanate is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. Commodities, in this case, this trade route becomes even more important.

Back from the opera house, it was already late at night, but there were still people busy at home. It was Sun Deshou who led the children from the farm. They are labeling more than 100 kinds of crop seeds from the Western Regions brought back by Sun Erli, including the seeds of plants that may be used as medicine brought back by the medical school, and they are also handed over to them.

They have to make a planting plan based on the growth environment of these crops and medicinal plants that Sun Erli and the people from the medical school have counted. Among them, there are twenty or thirty types of grapes that are relatively expensive in the Central Plains market. , if a high-yield grape variety that can be easily grown in the Central Plains is cultivated, then all the people in Datang will be able to eat all kinds of fresh grapes in the future.

Sun Xiangfu looked at the boys in the living room who were earnestly recording and writing, and said, "These things are not in a hurry, so don't burn your body over it."

However, Sun Deshou said in a disobedient manner, "Hurry up! I'm very anxious. I only gave the Agricultural College a seven-day vacation. After I go back, I have to make up my homework. Of course, these things of planning and research should be taken advantage of. The holiday is almost over, and we have to go to the opening ceremony the day after tomorrow!"

In seven days, counting the three days they need to spend on the journey, they can stay in Dingxiang for four days. After watching the opening ceremony, they will have to return in one day. It is exactly as Sun De said, Some hurry up.

"Many of these crops need to be planted in Guanzhong or the southern regions. Have you thought about sending someone to conduct field research?"

In fact, in the era when Sun Xiangfu lived, the cultivation of grapes had long been popularized, and many farmers in rural areas could grow very sweet grapes by themselves.

However, this era is different. Just like the grapes he planted beside the eel ponds in Xingfu Village before, it is easy to grow, but it is difficult to grow well. Due to the altitude, the climate and the quality of the land are different, Breeds need to be adapted.

Moreover, this is usually a long-term job. In six years, the earliest disciples of the Nongmen have mastered enough basic knowledge of scientific planting. Now it is necessary to start to develop in the direction of classification and special research. Sun Xiangfu had also considered this issue before, and now, he happened to have a chat with Sun Deshou.

"Brother, your research on rice planting in Shannan Road is based on a four-year plan. Presumably, it will take a long time to improve the planting of this grape variety!"

"Yes, although the people in the Western Regions have relatively mature planting methods and can grow very sweet grapes, the climate and soil texture there are different from ours, and the yield is not the same in my opinion. Not too high, there is a lot of room for improvement.

Previously, we did not improve the grapes we planted, so the taste was relatively sour and difficult to eat. However, if we want to grow grapes that are not inferior to those produced in the Western Regions, and to further increase the production, we need to do a lot of research work. At least a three to four year breed improvement plan should be done.

How about this!You can nominate two or three people according to your own interests, and I will arrange for them to go to the Ministry of Agriculture in the Shannan Road area to serve as the secretary of agriculture. While studying planting, they will help guide the local agricultural production.

As for the types of other crops, all economic crops that are not suitable for large-scale planting in the north, or that need to be planted in large quantities in the Central Plains, will be handled in the same way. Before the spring of next year, people will provide them to me. "

Sun Deshou nodded and said, "Understood brother, by next year, we should be able to recruit a lot of people."

The first batch of disciples of Nongmen only had more than 20 people, and the second batch of disciples had more than 50 people. Counting now, it has been more than two years since the second batch of disciples formally learned agricultural technology. By next year, They can almost teach basic courses to new students enrolled in agricultural colleges.

Moreover, the students recruited by the Agricultural College have relatively high basic requirements, and they are teenagers who have completed cultural education. Their learning speed is generally very fast. In one year at most, these agricultural students who understand more advanced agricultural knowledge will Mass production has started, and by then, Sun Xiangfu will not have to worry about no one available.

"Master head, I like to eat grapes, let me go back to Jingzhou to plant grapes with you!" Wu Meiniang jumped out when she heard that Sun Xiangfu was going to arrange some people to become officials in Jingzhou.

"Can you be an official?"

"I······"

Wu Meiniang was choked back by Sun Xiangfu's rhetorical question, but her eyes rolled wildly as she wanted to go back to Jingzhou, trying to think of a way. Although she was smart, she had a perverse personality and was evasive. The students in the Agricultural College were all bored. The type who starts to do research, and has passed the age of playing, and wants to do big things. She has been in Shanyang during this time, but she is about to die of boredom.

"Girls can also be officials! Isn't the teacher's wife a female officer..." Wu Meiniang murmured after thinking for a while.

But she didn't want her words to be heard by Sun Xiangfu, and said, "If you want to go to the art troupe, I will send you there immediately. At your age, if you have studied for five or eight years, you can almost do it there. How are you, female officer, do you want to go?"

When she heard about five or eight years, Wu Meiniang immediately shook her head and said, "No, five or eight years, it's too long, this, this is not fair."

Sun Xiangfu didn't know whether Wu Meiniang was talking about the unfairness of studying for too long, or whether it was unfair for women not to be officials in departments other than Tai Lesi. Now he was so sleepy that he waved to her and went back to his room to rest. up.

Early in the morning, Sun Xiangfu came to report to Li Shimin on his work. After the matter of honoring the name was settled, Li Shimin was still in a good mood, and appointed Fang Xuanling to represent the imperial court to sign specific agreements with various countries. Explain some specific details that came over to Fang Xuanling and the ministers, and they didn't stop talking until lunch time, and they were preparing to have a lunch in the barracks!Changsun Chong came over and asked the ministers to go out.

The so-called "walking the field" is the rehearsal of the process that Datang officials need to perform at the opening ceremony.

Now, it has been confirmed that Li Shimin, his wife and Li Yuan are going to enter the arena by hot air balloon. Tonight, at the barracks, the position of the hot air balloon will be adjusted. The way they land at that time is to drop the hanging basket for the ride by hanging the rope Down, the hot air balloon itself does not land.

The ministers attending the opening ceremony need to line up at the landing point where the red carpet is laid out. Together with Li Shimin, they will hold a ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens, lighting the fire, and of course, due to Li Shimin's inner swell, during the ceremony, the ministers still There is going to be a drama where he is persuaded to add an honorary title, and representatives from all over the world respond one after another, and the drama of this honorary title is confirmed.

Then, it was Li Shimin and his wife who took Li Yuan and led the officials to sit in the audience seats and watch the opening performance of the World's No. [-] Sports Conference.

The whole performance will last for more than an hour. At the end, all the athletes will enter the venue and a flag-raising ceremony will be held. Afterwards, the representatives of each delegation will start to draw lots for the first round of each competition. This will basically take up one morning. .

After lunch, the first largest and most entertaining game, comparable to the World Cup of Football, will be held at the main venue, which is the polo match.

In this competition, the participating teams are all local teams of Datang, foreign countries, only Byzantium, Persia, Dashi and Tianzhu formed teams to participate. There are a total of 18 or [-] teams participating in the competition. In the game with the highest prize money, in addition to the [-] guan rewards corresponding to the number of players, the champion team can also get a gold trophy weighing two catties and inlaid with eighteen gemstones. It is worth tens of thousands of guan. Among them, the Datang Royal Polo Team is No. [-] and will definitely open the first round of the game.

After a hasty lunch, everyone followed the eldest grandson to rush to the field, but don't look at it as a simple walk, it took two or three hours to explain all the affairs clearly, and the main time was wasted on giving Also in the main venue, the representatives of foreign countries who are familiar with the venue, explained to him the order of entry, guiding the way, and the issue of athletes lining up.

Without any surprise, Pyu and Tubo continued to be ranked last, not even a small country that only sent more than 100 people to the competition. Although they were still dissatisfied, they did not dare to shout.

Of course, this is just a small episode. After seeing the neat sportswear of Datang athletes and the bright and exquisite flags, the foreign countries also want to have them. For this, Sun Xiangfu can only suggest that they go to the clothing store in the city at night Purchasing or customizing, making a few beautiful flags in one night is nothing to the businessmen of Datang who are engaged in this industry.

As for the uniform style of clothing, there should be hundreds of thousands of sets in stock at various merchants. After all, the various shops in Dingxiang City have been hoarding goods half a year ago. Just don't hit your shirt.

What makes Sun Xiangfu the most funny is that most of their countries do not have their own national anthem, and Sun Xiangfu did not ask Tang Jian to remind them that if there is no national anthem, they can simply listen to Datang’s national anthem, not to mention, Li Chengqian led the arrangement , which was designated by Li Shimin as the national anthem of the Tang Dynasty, although the melody is easy to remember, the lyrics are somewhat obscure and difficult to understand.

After a busy day, Sun Xiangfu didn't return to the mansion until late at night, but what he didn't expect was that there were still guests waiting for him.

"You came to me so late, is there something urgent?"

The late-night visitor was none other than Wang Xu, and he even used a disguise, as if he didn't want anyone to know that he had been here.

"My people sent news that His Majesty is really not going to kill Wang Hao, so I plan to do it."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu was taken aback for a moment, and after a while, his eyes sank and he said, "Be careful, Your Majesty's secret guards are not vegetarians."

"Don't worry! All those who do it are dead men. However, you have to help me consider what will happen after the action. If His Majesty conducts a large-scale investigation, then our royal family may suffer a lot."

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, do you want me to help?"

Wang Xu shook his head and said, "The cleaner you write, the more powerful you will be when speaking in front of His Majesty afterwards."

Sun Xiangfu cupped his hands towards Wang Xu, "Then, please leave everything to me."
