Chapter 90: The Near-Bankrupt Prairie Economy

The two jointly played to explain the situation in southern Mongolia. But it made Zhu Qizhen happy.

It's not that they bring good news, on the contrary, they bring bad news.

How bad is this news?

From Duanmurui's twists and turns, it can be seen that the grassland economy of southern Mongolia has reached the verge of bankruptcy.

To understand this, it is also necessary to grasp the general economic trend of the north and south of the desert.

It can be said that since the fall of the Yuan Dynasty. After the loss of blood-sucking objects in the Mongolian steppe. The entire grassland economy has plummeted, and there is no turning back.

In the Yuan Dynasty, Mobei could produce more than 200,000 stones, which may not be as good as the grain output of some prefectures in the Ming Dynasty, but it can reduce a lot of freight costs when it is planted in Mobei.

But after decades of war.

Agricultural production in the south and north of the desert was completely destroyed.

It's like it didn't show up.

In fact, in Daning, Kaiping, and even Dongsheng and other places, the harvest of growing grain may not be high, but it is not impossible. But from the recital of the two.

There is no agricultural base in the area.

This is to be expected. Zhu Qizhen is not surprised.

But the following situation surprised Zhu Qizhen.

In Zhu Qizhen's heart, shouldn't the economic pillar of the grassland be animal husbandry? After all, Mongolia is a nomadic people, isn't this their old business?

But now the situation has taken Zhu Qizhen by surprise.

There are tens of thousands of people in Uliangha, but the number of livestock, including horses, sheep, cattle, and camels, is not too much, and even according to Duanmurui's calculations, if there is no relief this winter, a considerable number of people will starve to death.

And Duanmurui is in Kaiping, Dongsheng has also seen it, and the situation is not much different.

In Duanmurui's observations, half of the food sources of the various tribes of southern Mongolia came from grazing and half from hunting, and the two were almost five or five apart.

Zhu Qizhen actually likes hunting very much, and hunting is exciting, even better than playing video games. It's just that Zhu Qizhen hunted himself, so he knew that hunting was actually a thing with little output.

You must know that most primitive people started from hunting and gathering, and then evolved into farming and nomadic production methods, not because hunting could not feed more people.

Nearly half of the people of a tribe have to hunt to feed, which shows how much the animal husbandry level of the three tribes of Uliangha has dropped.

Even in order to provide disaster relief, Zhu Qizhen sent a large amount of grain from Jingcang to Monan, which was also a big expense.

Zhu Qizhen, who has been living a tight life, is very happy at the moment.

Because of the situation of Wuliang Ha Sanwei, Zhu Qizhen's guess was confirmed. And the news collected by Duanmurui from many places hints even more.

That is, the Tile Spur economy is close to bankruptcy.

That's right, the grassland in Mobei is good, but how bad is the grassland in Monan?

Uliangha has reached this point, and the situation of the tile spur is much better than that of Uliangha?

The big battles made Zhu Qizhen grit his teeth and hold on, is there a sea of people in the tile spurs?

Now it turns out that it is not.

The situation of the tile spur is even worse than that of Zhu Qizhen. Before, Zhu Qizhen saw the information that the Jinyi Guardian reported back, which said that he had been hunting for the whole autumn.

Zhu Qizhen thought that he would also reorganize his troops and prepare for revenge.

After all, for nomads, hunting itself can be used as military training, but nowadays, it seems that it is not like that. First of all, it is to solve the food crisis of tile spurs.

In this way, the weakness of the tile spur was also presented in front of Zhu Qizhen. Even some information that Zhu Qizhen had not paid attention to before was listed by him one by one.

That is, Da Ming and Tile Thorn are under the same sky.

When Daming encountered a disaster, was it very peaceful on the grassland?

It's just that Mongolia's way of dealing with the disaster is different from that of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty naturally tried its best to relieve the disaster and would rather empty the treasury, but the Mongols were willing to kill others and compete for the remaining food.

After fourteen years of orthodoxy on the steppe, there were many civil strife.

Now that I think about it, it may not be that trade has been cut off, and the internal contradictions have been intensified by natural disasters for many years.

A sentence came to Zhu Qizhen's heart, that is, the thorn can be cut.

What others said before, Zhu Qizhen was discounted in his heart. He never dared to fully trust a minister. But at this moment, he personally excavated it, which naturally made him believe it even more.

Just for this conclusion, Zhu Qizhen is willing to pay a lot of food.

Zhu Qizhen commented: "The disaster relief grain should be shipped immediately, and the silage should be implemented. Then he looked at the vote given by the cabinet.

However, it was a joint transportation between the military department and the household department, and they went out of the customs along the gallop road, and after leaving the customs, they were escorted by the border army, and there were about 200,000 stone of grain.

Zhu Qizhen thought about it, changed it on the ticket, and said: "When Huaiyuan people, show their kindness, and change 200,000 stone grain to 300,000 stone grain." ”

Zhu Qizhen is not poor and generous, the formation of the grain-producing area in Hebei has given Zhu Qizhen a lot of help, at least when the war is fighting, Zhu Qizhen is mainly lacking silver, not grain.

Therefore, the transfer of 300,000 stone grain did not put any pressure on Jingcang. He releases more than 300,000 stone of old grain every year, and the only thing that worries people is transportation.

Chidao can only pass through the border pass, and there is no time to repair to Daning.

Maybe the freight is much better than the grain being transported.

There's no way around it.

Zhu Qizhen secretly put the matter of using Chidao to contact the grassland on the agenda, but this is also a post-war matter, after all, before the war is over, Daming does not have the money to build Chidao.

Zhu Qizhen continued to flip again

, there are some twists and turns, Zhu Qizhen doesn't look at them carefully at all, probably asking for peace, judgment, and food.

These cabinets have already been approved.

Please, Zhu Qizhen will write a sentence or two if he has the heart, and if he doesn't have the heart, he will point a red dot, indicating that he has read it, and there is only the verdict. Zhu Qizhen will not look at the case in detail.

It's not that Zhu Qizhen doesn't pay attention to human life, but all the death sentences belong to Zhu Qizhen, but before they are sent to the Qianqing Palace, I don't know how many hands these cases have passed.

I dare not say that there is no wrong. Even if it is wronged, it is collusion between the top and bottom, and it is seamless.

Zhu Qizhen couldn't see it just for a little time.

And Zhu Qizhen is not an official to solve the case, there is a problem with the Criminal Department, what do you want the Metropolitan Procuratorate to do? There is a problem with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, what do you want Jinyiwei to do? Jinyiwei has a problem, what do you want Dongchang to do?

These cases, these departments have gone through them all.

Zhu Qizhen naturally won't waste time.

But soon, there was a song that made Zhu Qizhen feel angry, which came from Guangxi.

Han Yong and Liu Pu attacked each other.

It is mainly about the pacification of the Great Tengxia Gorge.

Liu Pu played, to surround and besiege it, and then send people to appease, or order the Tusi soldiers to enter the mountains to encircle and suppress, in short, he had a sentence, and he did everything possible to conceal it, but he didn't say it.

That is, he didn't want to go into the mountains.

As for Han Yong's meaning, it is said that after a long rebellion in Guangxi, the thieves had the heart of the imperial court, thinking that it was a moat in the mountains, so they became more and more rampant, rampant, and besieged the county seat. Without thunder means, it is not enough to deter Xiaoxiao, so he should send large soldiers, recruit Tusi, and go into the mountains to encircle and suppress.

To tell the truth, Zhu Qizhen is far away in Beijing, and his information about Guangxi is also some information about local officials and Jinyiwei. Zhu Qizhen couldn't tell who was right or who was wrong.

However, he was angry about two things.

Han Yong is already the governor of Liangguang, and Liu Pu has to listen to the order.

Secondly, the current situation is not caused by Liu Pu not daring to enter the mountain.

These words could come out of other people's mouths, but Zhu Qizhen didn't want to say it from Liu Pu's mouth.

It is becoming more and more suspicious of what has become of the Southern Health Center.

Zhu Qizhen reprimanded Liu Pu in the imperial approval, and ordered Liu Pu to return to Beijing, and asked Tian Zhen to replace Liu Pu to guard Guangxi, so that he could listen to Han Yong's orders

As for Han Yong's recital, it was also a reprimand, to make him familiar with the people's situation and specialize in suppressing bandits.

But it was Zhu Qizhen who was dissatisfied with Han Yong's inability to handle Liu Pu, and Zhu Qizhen naturally knew that the Ming Dynasty and now the civil and military forces stand side by side, and there is a state of going hand in hand.

Therefore, the contradictions between the civil and military also secretly breed.

The contradiction between Liu Pu and Han Yong seems to be a disagreement, but I don't know what is behind it.

It's just that Liu Pu has not been able to exterminate it, which made Zhu Qizhen lose patience, and Han Yong performed well in disaster relief in Jiangxi, and Zhu Qizhen was willing to give him a chance.
