Chapter 286: Continued Expansion

In the grassland in spring, there is a scene of grass growing in bloom. The grass grows lushly, and everything seems to be thriving. The new year has begun again, and the grazing of the Mongolians has also begun.&1t;/p>

Those Mongolian herders who defected to the Ming Dynasty came to their pastures in the beginning of spring. The pastures have been divided, and these Mongolian tribes drove cattle and sheep into these pastoral areas.&1t;/p>

This is a busy year, and every Mongolian herder is busy building tents and setting up boundary piles.&1t;/p>

They have their own grassland on the grassland and can live a stable life without having to chase water plants everywhere.&1t;/p>

Some Mongolian tribes are very poor, they don’t even have tents, but the problem has been solved. During the winter, the court has provided them with loans to buy tents. In the spring, some herders also lack cattle and sheep, and they also bought them with loans.&1t;/p>

Before moving to their own pasture, these Mongolian herders paid loans to buy many daily necessities, such as tea, porcelain and iron pots, etc.&1t;/p>

These loans are all interest-free, so don’t worry about being profitable. If you really can’t afford to repay, you can apply for an extended repayment.&1t;/p>

Let these herdsmen be happy, and with the continuous publicity of the court, they began to firmly support the court's policies. In the future, they will no longer have to be excessively stripped by the Mongolian nobles, "Ding" "Small" said, "→.≠ o, or the surplus of labor can be owned by themselves."&1t;/p>

In the past, these Mongolian herders lived in a collective tribal environment, and their surplus of labor did not belong to them. Of course, as a collective tribal system, as long as there are enough cattle and sheep, they would not be hungry. The Mongolian tribal society also had its own distribution system.&1t;/p>

Mongolian nobles usually try to make the tribe's people full, because they can only carry out military activities when they are full, or resist attacks from other tribes, etc. But the surplus of labor is enjoyed by the nobles. Ordinary herders have no labor and wealth.&1t;/p>

It’s different after being allocated to the grassland. In the future, the labor will be rich. You only need to pay 10% of the tax to the Mongolian nobles of the tribe. It is acceptable to draw one of ten sheep. For rich cattle and sheep, they can trade with the Ming people, exchange them for tea, porcelain and iron, cotton, and even sugar from the south. This was absolutely unimaginable in the past.&1t;/p>

When they settled down on their respective pastures, a hopeful life began.&1t;/p>

The imperial court made some grazing regulations on them. For example, 2ooo acres of grassland must be in the pasture period every year, and there is also a ranch that cannot exceed 2 goats. These regulations are followed by Mongolian herders. Because these grasslands belong to them, the grasslands are damaged, and the bitter fruits are borne by them.&1t;/p>

The reason why goats are restricted is that goats will eat together with their roots when eating grass, while sheep will not do this. However, a ranch cannot do without goats, because goats have higher IQ, and goats are all headed.&1t;/p>

Among the livestock on the grassland, sheep have the lowest IQ. They will run around when they see people. While cows and horses have relatively high IQs, they don’t have to worry about it when they are released. They will find them home by themselves, among which horses have the highest IQ.&1t;/p>

Every household raises two or three hundred sheep, and then raises more than a dozen cows and more than a dozen horses. Basically, it is the living conditions of pasture herders planned by the court.&1t;/p>

Sheep can produce wool and sheepskin, which is the most commercialized. After the wool and sheepskin are produced, there is no need to worry about sales.&1t;/p>

What Ming Dynasty needs most now is raw materials. Sweaters have become popular in Northern Zhili at this time, and the demand for wool is getting bigger and bigger.&1t;/p>

There are also cattle and horses that don’t have to worry about sales. Beef herders can keep them for themselves or sell them. Cowhide is also the raw material needed by the Ming Dynasty. Horses are the best livestock to sell. Now the economy in the northern Zhili and Northeast regions is developing. The transportation of 6 places is expanding, and the demand for horses is also increasing.&1t;/p>

Whether it is a low-class horse used for posts, a military horse or a middle-aged horse, there is a broad market. The military's demand for war horses will obviously be met in the next few years, because the Royal Martial Horse Farm and the enterprise horse farm are being built, but there are many wealthy people in the Ming Dynasty, and the demand for good horses is also high.&1t;/p>

It can be said that as long as the stability is stable for a few years, these Mongolian herders can live a carefree life without worrying about life, and can also enjoy the daily necessities of the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

Then let them return to Mongolian tribal life, and they will not be willing to kill them.&1t;/p>

Obviously, the Ming Dynasty's ruling structure over the grasslands was also allowed to occupy the grasslands for a long time because of its abandonment of rough plunder.&1t;/p>

As long as these Mongolian herders stabilize and agree with the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty can sweep the entire grassland in the future and incorporate the entire grassland into this system.&1t;/p>

What the Ming Dynasty can give, but the Mongolian Khan can't give.&1t;/p>

The Ming Dynasty gave the benefits of animal husbandry to Mongolian herders and Mongolian nobles, but it could earn commercial benefits and also open minerals on the grassland. It could strategically eliminate the threat from nomadic peoples to the Ming Dynasty and obtain a large amount of horse-producing land, which was simply cost-effective.&1t;/p>

Those Mongolian nobles who defected to the Ming Dynasty were also very concerned about the pastoral production this year. This means whether they have income this year, can they get money and go to the Ming Dynasty's flower world to enjoy life.&1t;/p>

With the support of both Mongolian nobles and Mongolian herders, the Ming Dynasty's rule over the grassland was initially built. Just when those cities are built, their dominance can be further deepened.&1t;/p>

Immigration in the Northeast region is constantly underway.&1t;/p>

Under the leadership of the government, the immigration work was promoted northward in an all-round way, and on the other hand, it formed a line along Heilongjiang and advanced rapidly northward.&1t;/p>

The flow of Heilongjiang is to the north, and the entrance to the east is not far from the east, which is the northern part of Sakhalin Island. Outside the freezing period, a thousand-ton sailboat can easily navigate the river channel, and the river navigation is in good condition, which belongs to a relatively convenient area. Therefore, the river coast has become the first area to immigrate.&1t;/p>

Through river and sea transportation, a transportation line from Heilongjiang Province in later generations, crossing to Russia and then to Sakhalin Island. With this convenient transportation, the resources mined can be easily transported out and then transported back to Daming Pass through the sea. The goods within the Pass can also be transported to the Heilongjiang River Basin unimpeded in summer and autumn.&1t;/p>

In Taiwan, the five-year Apocalypse operation continues, but it has spread to the entire coastal plains of Taiwan.&1t;/p>

Whether in the west or east, they are immigration strongholds. The farms of each immigration stronghold have been opened and are constantly expanding.&1t;/p>

Looking out from the plain, there are rice fields and sugarcane gardens, and construction teams are constantly building water conservancy facilities on the plain for irrigation and drainage.&1t;/p>

By mid-June, Taiwan had reclaimed more than 5 million mu of arable land, and Taiwan's population reached more than 200,000. Nearly half of them were workers working in Taiwan, and only half were immigrants with their families. Workers who came to Taiwan to work on a boat have found that Taiwan is a treasure land, with rich resources and pleasant climate, new systems of the court, and more fair society. Many workers have already planned to immigrate, just wait for the work on the construction site to finish, and then take over the whole family.&1t;/p>

Some people also choose to immigrate to Luzon because the land in Taiwan is basically owned by the Royal Agricultural Company, and the main purpose of going to Taiwan is to be a worker and do business.&1t;/p>

But when you go to Luzon, you can obtain land. The government has already announced that people who are willing to go to Luzon can reclaim 300 acres of plantations, and those who are more than 300 acres need to pay the land purchase payment.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao realized the problem of foreign expansion, so he issued an imperial edict to the Navy, strictly prohibiting all kinds of massacres. This world is the prey of the weak, but people are the end of the biological chain after all, and humanity must be abide by. You can exploit and squeeze a person, but you cannot cruelly deprive a person of the right to survive.&1t;/p>

Therefore, the massacre was strictly prohibited in the expansion of the outside world, and the act of robbing civilians was also prohibited by Zhu Youxiao.&1t;/p>

Tax can be levied, but not robbed openly.&1t;/p>

Even if it is taxed, Zhu Youxiao requires the Navy to collect taxes in the process of colonial military control, and not to extend the scope of the foreign races to bear.&1t;/p>

The monkeys in the South China Sea that slaughtered Han people naturally cannot give them a good life. But it does not mean that the Ming Dynasty can also slaughter them. Just like a dog bites a person, a person can only beat the dog to death at most, and cannot bite the dog.&1t;/p>

For those who clearly participated in the massacre and obtained the indigenous people, the Ming Dynasty could punish them and cut them down. However, they could not directly engage in massacre, and the elderly, weak, women and children could not be killed.&1t;/p>

In the future, Luzon was included in the ruling of the Ming Dynasty, and these indigenous people had no social security. At the same time, Zhu Youxiao was not prepared to give these indigenous people too much resources in education.&1t;/p>

In addition, these indigenous people are naturally lazy and are basically at the bottom of society.&1t;/p>

The Han people are hardworking enough to naturally own land and wealth in the South China society, and these South China natives work for the Han people.&1t;/p>

These Nanyang natives have no culture and no motivation to develop. A large amount of fertile land does not know how to open, but the Han people have a strong sense of opening up.&1t;/p>

Therefore, as long as the Han people who are willing to immigrate to Nanyang can reclaim their land within the military-controlled area occupied by the navy. The maximum free reclaim of 300 acres is the benefit of immigration. Over 300 acres is for merchant capital, and the land purchase payment must be paid, and the land sale price is relatively moderate, that is, it is not too high or too low.&1t;/p>

After the plantation is opened, the tax will be paid as usual every year.&1t;/p>

The Ming Dynasty war with the Spaniards on Luzon Island has lasted for nearly a year, and conflicts between the navies on both sides often broke out at sea.&1t;/p>

However, the Spanish did not take advantage of it many times, and the warships were getting fewer and fewer. They were already scared in Manila and rarely left the port, waiting for the support of the treasure fleet coming from the Americas.&1t;/p>

On the 6th ground, the Spaniards were beaten and retreated step by step. The Ming Navy 6 team had advanced about 50 kilometers north of Manila. The area north was basically all included in the military-occupied area by the 6th Navy.&1t;/p>

The plain valley area of ​​the Cagayan River Basin in the northern part of Luzon Island, the Spanish rule order in the area has been destroyed, and the local indigenous ruling forces have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. For them, it is a change of master. When the Spanish were strong, they listened to the Spanish, and when the Ming Dynasty came, they listened to the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

Just as the Spanish colonists were suffering, their treasure fleet finally crossed the Pacific Ocean to Manila. (To be continued.)&1t;/p>
