Chapter 618: Divide the fields in Daming, and divide the grasslands into pastures
"Divide the pasture?"
All the leading nobles of Balian's tribe looked at me and I looked at you. The hot atmosphere suddenly cooled down.
As for the Balian Nayan tribe, a large tribe with 90,000 domes and 4 to 50,000 herdsmen, the original Balian Nayan, the current Balian Nayan, and the Balianheba people are Completely confused.
No, isn't this in the grassland?
According to the rules, shouldn't the winner take all, own everything, and just need to submit a petition to the Ming court, and the Ming emperor and ministers will send iron pots, tea, grain, and silk?
how so?
Cao Wenzhao looked at the scene that was gradually getting colder, and the smile disappeared from his face: "Why, do you think there is anything wrong?"
Balenheba asked: "General Cao, is this the intention of the court?"
Cao Wenzhao nodded: "Of course it is the intention of the court!"
"The imperial court has set up your place as a special economic zone and provided you with various benefits. Naturally, everything here must be done in accordance with the imperial court's rules."
"What, do you have any opinions?"
Listening to Cao Wenzhao's words, Balenheba said quickly: "No, no, Balian's headquarters naturally obeys the imperial court's will in everything."
Just kidding, after seeing the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, how dare you have an opinion?
Seeing that none of the leaders had any objections, Cao Wenzhao nodded with satisfaction: "In that case, let me tell everyone about this."
The next day, a news spread within the newly formed Balianga capital: the Ming court was going to distribute pastures, cattle and sheep to everyone!
is this real?
Several herdsmen who were grazing came together and couldn't help but started talking after mentioning this matter:
"I heard that the imperial court is going to allocate us pastures, cattle and sheep, but I don't know if it's true or not."
"It should be true. After all, the Ming Dynasty gave out fields to their people. We are on the grassland, so we are given pastures, cattle and sheep."
"But will Na Yan and the chiefs agree? After all, we are grazing cattle and sheep for them now, and the pastures belong to Na Yan and the chiefs, right?"
"Now that our entire tribe has surrendered to the imperial court, then Yan and the leaders should not dare to object, right?"
"However, if the imperial court divides the cattle, sheep and pasture, we will not only have to provide cattle and sheep to the Nayan and the head people, but also provide cattle and sheep to the imperial court. Then we will not even be able to eat cheese."
The issue of whether the imperial court will allocate cattle, sheep and pasture to everyone has become a topic of greatest concern to the herdsmen of Baliangadu. These herdsmen at the lowest level usually graze on the pastures of the leaders. They do not have their own The grassland has no cattle and sheep of its own, everything belongs to the people.
Compared with the Nayan and head people who can eat beef, mutton and grain, the herdsmen can only rely on cheese to satisfy their hunger.
You don't have to live on the grassland to eat cattle and sheep. Cattle and sheep are extremely precious assets. The cheese made from the milk of cattle and sheep is the staple food of the herdsmen. It is difficult for them to eat food. When encountering wind and snow, The cattle and sheep that died due to drought are also delicacies that can only be enjoyed by the heads and nayans.
How can herders be willing to eat beef and mutton?
Nowadays, the imperial court not only wants to allocate cattle, sheep and pasture to them, but also provides them with food. This makes the herdsmen of the Baliangadu tribe unable to believe it. Even if the news has spread, the herdsmen who have been squeezed have been We still can't believe it.
Although their current life is bitter and cold, they can grit their teeth and persevere. However, if this news ignites hope in everyone's hearts and turns out to be false news, the blow to the herdsmen will be too heavy.
Therefore, although the herdsmen hope that the news is true, they cannot believe that the news is true.
Two days later, a group of Ming army knights escorted the students from Datong to the pasture of Baliangadu. Not only did they escort the students, they also brought a batch of gunpowder, cannons, guns and rockets to Cao Wenzhao.
Lots of supplies.
Cao Wenzhao felt relieved when he saw the large vehicles arriving one after another. The previous battle had consumed a lot of money, but now that he had replenished it, he felt more confident.
After this group of students arrived, Cao Wenzhao immediately took action. He first asked some of the students to inspect the entire pasture area, and then asked another group of students to conduct publicity within the tribe and count the population.
In order to facilitate statistics, each dome is used as a unit. After all, a family lives in a dome. This makes it easier to count. Then, how many domes form a pasture is divided into pastoral areas and livestock.
The imperial court really wants to allocate pastures, cattle and sheep to everyone!
This is real!
After the news was confirmed, the entire herdsmen in Baliangadu cheered!
They have been poor for too long!
The Yanhetou people can have many wives, beef and mutton, rice and wheat to eat. They not only have countless salt, but also various seasonings and silk clothes.
As for ordinary herdsmen, except for the dome, the cattle and sheep belong to the Nayan and Tou people. They can only eat cheese twice a day on weekdays. They need to dig wild vegetables on the grassland. If they occasionally catch a prey, they have to hand it over.
leaders and nobles.
Now, they can have their own pastures, their own cattle and sheep, and they will live a good life like the people in the Ming Dynasty. They no longer need to provide cattle, sheep, and furs to Tou and Nayan.
The imperial court said that they would distribute cattle and sheep to them. These cattle and sheep were leased to them by the imperial court for a period of ten years. After ten years, the cattle and sheep would be their own.
If a baby is born, half of the baby will belong to them and half to the court. In short, if you raise your cattle and sheep well and have more babies, your own flock of cattle and sheep will be more.
Moreover, the furs do not need to be handed over to the court. There will be merchants to conduct transactions and purchase their furs, cattle and sheep at reasonable prices. They can use the money exchanged for these cattle, sheep and furs to buy clothes, iron pots, tea, salt,
There are other things.
From now on, they will no longer be the slaves of Yan and the leaders, they will be the subjects of the Ming Dynasty!
Relying on the continuous propaganda of the farmers, the herdsmen took the initiative to report the number of cattle, sheep and horses they grazed, and also told the farmers in detail the approximate range of the pasture.
This allowed the health workers to quickly check how many herders, cattle, sheep, and horses there were in Balianjidu, which had now expanded to 90,000 domes and a population of 4 to 50 million.
In the past, it was for the sake of Yan and the head man, but now it is for themselves, so the herdsmen are extremely active.
Relying on the 10,000 Ming army and the attached Mongolian cavalry, Cao Wenzhao also suppressed all those who wanted to cause trouble among the herdsmen, and beheaded all of them in front of the herdsmen, and announced in public that preparations would be made from now on.
Divide cattle, sheep and pasture for herdsmen.
On the grassland of Baliangadu, countless herdsmen cheered:
"Long live the Ming Dynasty! Long live the imperial court!"
