When in Doubt, Build Infrastructure
Chapter 1556:When in Doubt, Build Infrastructure
Spring on the grassland comes much earlier than in the Great Wall.
Just in the first month, Shunde ice and snow have melted, and the grassland has been rejuvenated.
At this time of year, the tribes near Shunde must have been preparing for the migration.
Because they must hurry to the distant pastures and rush to the spring pasture feast.
The time must be just right.
It is too early, if it is too early, the pasture has not yet grown, and the cattle and the horses must be hungry.
It is not too late to go, too late, the pasture will be eaten by other people's livestock.
But this year, the people near Shunde have more calm.
This past winter, the Han army expelled and executed almost all the nobles in Shunde, within a circle of three hundred miles.
Looking at the heights of the past, even looking up at the big people who were difficult, they were put on the guillotine by the Han Dynasty, and their pastures, livestock and wealth were all evenly distributed by the Han Dynasty officials to the big guy.
Who is not happy?
Of course, for Han Chamber, this sale is not bad.
The livestock of the surrounding departments is not their own.
It is too cost-effective to take other people's things and buy yourself people's hearts.
The only problem is that now the herdsmen and herders of the ministries have been liberated according to Chang'an's meaning, and they have been given their pastures and livestock.
The question is how do you manage these people?How to guide them?
This became a big problem.
There is no way but to control this policy.
All herders are unified by the military.
Just like the formation of the Tuen reclamation group, grouping, this matter, the Han army has been very skilled, so it did not take much effort, in this Shunde around the establishment of dozens of kiosks, large and small.
There are many, more than a thousand people, and few, there are hundreds.
At the same time, by the way, a census was also made to the Hu clans around Shunde, and the final statistics were shocking!
For Shunde as the core, hundreds of miles of grassland, there are more than 43,000 people.
Considering this place, it has always been the forbidden of the Huns, and after the defeat of the Huns, their headquarters have fled to the north, leaving only the old and the sick and the slave clan.
Therefore, its original actual population may be more.
And this Shunde, but only one of the grasslands, is not the main pasture of the people of the bow since ancient times.
That is, the size of the entire grassland population is likely to exceed the estimates and assumptions of the Han Dynasty.
This excites the merchants.
The industry and commerce that are waiting to feed them now lack a cheap, leathery labor that can be supplied in large quantities.
Especially in the smelting, mining and logging industries.
Lack of labor!
With Han people, it is too expensive, and it is too easy to provoke public opinion criticism.
If you use a little more, Confucians and legalists will spray them "hurt the profit", but also "injury to heaven" and "grass life".
Or slave labor is good, no human rights, dead and dead, no one will pay attention.
As soon as the merchants were happy, the speed of transportation of military supplies was almost up.
In the days after the ice and snow melted and the road was reopened, various merchants sent thousands of vehicles of supplies to Shunde City.
They are at least twice as efficient as the country’s mobilized people!
No way, the merchants waved five baht of money, a lot of money to smash down, transport supplies of the car and the people immediately work efficiency rubbing up.
In order to earn more than five baht of money, some people are willing to work overtime.
Merchants, naturally, are not too early.
This war is a feast in itself!
From the past example, when the Han army calms the curtain south and firmly rule, the country will inevitably place countless orders to prepare for the development of the southern region.
And these orders, of course, will be handed over to the "industry in the king, loyal and patriotic" of the righteous businessmen.
In addition, the capture and capture of prisoners in the course of the war, the merchants can also be purchased first.
And you can use donated materials to cover the purchase price!
This is already a great deal!
Not to mention, Yan also promised them that they could participate in the war, so that they could divide some military skills.
Now in the Han Chamber, money can buy almost everything—except for the title.
Since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the court has tightened the mouth of the relevant porcelain donor knights, and after the battle of Ma Yi, it simply stopped the system of porphyry donation.
In the present world, the only titles of the civil society, the various classes of citizens and industry, can be bought with money, only the people's knights.
But these can trade the knight, the highest can only support the public, and then want to rise, by trading or trading from the title, can not be superimposed.
Only military power can continue to improve without restriction.
For the lack of security, always feel that may be taken by the local officials to the performance of the brushed by the merchants, their only way to protect themselves is to enhance their title.
As long as you go to the Big Five, you have the privilege.
Up to the left-wing long, it has the power of initial self-poverment, in accordance with the system of the left long above the king, their status compared with a thousand stones, local officials have been difficult to decide their life and death, their fate is in the hands of higher officials.
At least, a county order is unable to clean up the people who have more than the crown of the left.
And in today's world, the merchants in the world, have a title above the left, talk about count.
As for the Lord, there are only two.
In order to obtain a higher status, greater autonomy, and prosperity for the family, the merchants are now really desperate.
Money is like not money.
Within two months, they had almost all the surplus food in the hands of farmers in Long Right and North and Taiyuan County.
Before the gate gate of the wolf and the cloud, it was full of grain and crowded with eager caravans who wanted to plug.
Countless people are scared by the power of these merchants.
With the strength of the merchant, it can actually support a war with more than medium intensity!
This is truly inconceivable!
Before today, no one thought that the bottom of the society, such a group of people who are discriminated against by the world, can actually have such power!
The choir was already stunned.
However, when you think about it, I think this is also reasonable.
I think that year, the Emperor Taizong was in the first place, and in the years after the reincarnation of the Huns forces were completely expelled from the Great Wall, the Great Wall garrison was constantly hungry, so that there was an example of a garrison being starved to death.
However, when the policy of submersible donation was wrongly proposed, this situation was completely reversed within two years.
The merchants and landowners of the world, enthusiastically carrying their family members and slaves, drove the cattle carts and carriages, and not far away, sent a cart of rice to the Great Wall.
Soon, the food in the offices was full.
The history of the Great Wall garrison is hungry and never returns.
No one can count, how many people were given food to the Great Wall at that time?Do you know how much food they have?
But one thing is certain that the grain they transport must be more than two million stones, and perhaps even more.
Today's Hanjia merchants Jia's wealth, strength, resources, dozens of times more than that year.
They can create such miracles, and naturally they should not be surprised.
Inexplicably, they all thought of a saying that was circulated in the Changan City Well: Those who get the world!
“Should the dealer pay attention?”He thought to himself, but then he shook his head.
For the legalists, the enemy and the hostile merchants are their fundamentals and their Taoists, and they are the path that countless sages have guided.
Businessmen can use it and cooperate, but if the power of the businessman is involved or even dominate the thinking of the Fa, what is the difference with the defrauding master?
After the death of himself and others, under the nine springs, what face to see Li Huo, Shang Jun, Han Feizi and many other ancestors?
It is the power of the hundred workers that can be properly introduced.
Business, business, business, and business.
There are no workshops, no workshops, no workers, what do businessmen do to buy and sell?
Just now, in Nanyang County, Zhang Tangji, there are countless workshops and countless blast furnaces.
The legalists may in the future begin in this way and build their own workshop ideas.
It is best to dress the French as the spokesperson of the workshop owner, especially the majority of small and medium-sized workshop owners.
In this way, even if the future is really the world of industry and commerce, is the world of machinery and workshops, then the legalists can still survive and continue to lead the times.
Thinking about this, Yan all raised his pen, wrote a letter, and then gave it to one of his own relatives, and instructed: "You personally sent this letter to Nanyang County for me, facing the county to keep the public!"
“No!”The man called and went out.
Now, the personal letters of the senior nobles and high civilian of the Han family have begun to be passed on by their own confidence.
This is to prevent the detective from being embroidered.
He was not afraid that the contents of this letter would be known by the Son of Heaven, and he was afraid of being known by Confucian people.
Do ghosts know that there are Confucian people inside Embroidery Guards?
In any case, it is clear that many people in Embroidery Guards are inclined, sympathetic and even disciples of the Fa.
When they see the letters of the Confucian giants, they will definitely open them and take a look at them, and then quietly disclose them to the legalists.
When this is done, the government is re-focused on the government.
Before Chang'an's decision came, his main duty as a Huns protector was to build and establish a county system with Shunde as the core.
This matter, although it has experience in the group of reclamation groups, is handled, handy, and even effortless.
However, there are only more than 43,000 people, and there is no more population in Hanjia County.
If it is reasonable, a mid-level Hanjuan official is enough to cope with these things.
And he can be a man who has been a county guard and lieutenant in Henan County, Zhonglang General, and Jinwu.
He has governed counties of millions of people.
This kind of thing, for him, is easy.
But the question is – this new county is different from China’s past counties.
It is the first county in the world to take animal husbandry as its fundamental and pillar county.
Not the predominantly agricultural counties of mainland China.
Reasonably dividing pastures, guiding these people, and adapting and learning to settle down a lifestyle is undoubtedly a daunting task.
Fortunately, the soldiers of the army have fully learned and know how to manage a settled animal husbandry economy in the past four years.
Under their own hands and hands, the herdsmen of the ministries and groups close to the Baili area of Shunde have basically completed the construction of the settlement.
Now, wait for the bureaucrats of the Shaofu and the Tai Servant to pass on to these people the seeds of grass and all kinds of techniques and tools.
However, the tribes in the two hundred miles on the outskirts of Shunde do not have this condition.
Because of the severe shortage of resources and manpower, they have to maintain a nomadic lifestyle, at least this year.
And how to organize and lead these people to transition this year has become a problem again.
You can’t let these people stay where they are and eat lazy, right?
Let them feed themselves.
But it can't make them lose control and leave the Han family's control.
I’m already having a headache about this.
The number of people who are away is about 20,000.
Among them, adult male is about 8,000, women and children accounted for about 10,000, the remaining two thousand are the elderly and sick.
If these people, regardless of them, or restrict them, do not allow them to go nomadic, then they will surely starve to death.
Of course, there are many businessmen who are willing to accept.
Bring them back inland.
But I want to know with my ass, what do these bastards want to do!
"Simply, let these people, the men, feed and keep the grain and grass for our army, and the women will sew and comb the laundry?"He was thinking about it, but then he rejected the idea.
The Chinese army could not act with them.
“Or, do a job, let them work?”The eyes are shining.
This idea is good, since the Han family has reached this grassland, it will naturally not be silly to let the grassland, of course, will transform the geography and landscape of the region, change the flow of the river, so as to let the world adapt to the Han people, rather than with the Huns stupidly let themselves adapt to the world.
But now, God has denied the plan to cultivate on the grassland.
However, the development of animal husbandry cannot be separated from the supply of water resources.
Excavating channels between settlements, building a water-storage pond, and even building levees along easily flood-prone areas, and reforestation in sand-flooded areas are all options.
Although it is not long since he came here, he has already made a renovation project for the world around Shunde.
First of all, in the area near the mountains to the north, a large number of trees are planted to block and weaken the intensity of sand invasion.
The matter of planting trees and sand prevention has been known to the Chinese people in the Qin Dynasty.
When the Qin people operated the river truss area, more than 100,000 trees were planted around Yulinsai, and to this day, the elm trees around Yulinsai are still the most powerful defense against the sand from the west of the river.
It is unceremoniously said that without the operation of the Qin people, the sandification of the river area may now be very serious.
In addition, near Shunde, it seems necessary to establish a water supply channel to meet Shunde's future thirst for water.
Otherwise, in the future, if Shunde has a large population and lacks water, it will be troublesome.
Thinking about it, Yan has already made a decision.
For legalists, when things go undecided, it is indeed a subconscious and a natural choice.
