Chapter 736: The Plateau Enters the Development Track
Everything is difficult at the beginning, after a good start on the Naqu side, going down, the road will be smoother, because a series of policies of Datang here have already been spread by them all over the world.
A fool would object to this kind of ruler who only talks about what benefits he gives you, but does not ask you to contribute anything.
They don't know that after becoming a part of the Tang Dynasty, they are rich, which means that the Tang Dynasty is rich, and when they are rich, they will think about consumption, and consumption will drive commerce and trade, and commerce and trade will create taxes for the imperial court, and the imperial court has become richer and richer since it stopped the taxation of the people in the Central Plains, which is the truth.
The Tang Dynasty, which has mastered industry and commerce and liberated agriculture and animal husbandry, which provides basic support for industry and commerce, does not need to put tax points on them at all.
Sun Xiangfu's task along the way was to distribute gifts, hold theatrical performances, set up official yamen, set up Han culture teaching institutions, and leave a part of the garrison to manage public security in the local area, assist the chief officials, and organize farming, grazing, production, etc.
In addition, he left enough cleaning supplies for each county, such as soap, towels, and the like, as well as a medical officer.
After boiling water without firewood, most of the Tibetan people are still very willing to take a bath, less than a few baths a year, and even only three baths in a lifetime, so that the gynecological diseases of ordinary civilians in this area are extremely serious, and the right to give birth and mating is mostly in the hands of the tribal leaders, which is also one of the reasons why the population is developing slowly, and the ordinary people can only obey the control of the tribal leaders and leaders.
However, these things are not given away in unlimited quantities, and if you want to get things like soap towels that seem to be worth a lot of money, as well as snacks such as nuts, canned food, biscuits, and pastries, it is very simple, that is, learn Chinese, write Chinese characters, and complete the tasks set by the government.
After Li Chengqian's new-style education system was promoted to the whole country, all children in Datang needed to go to school, and adults would also have literacy classes to eliminate illiteracy.
The national literacy rate has reached almost 30 percent, and the number of people who can write has also reached more than 20 percent, this is because the current population structure of Datang is that there are many children, and most of these children have already gone to school.
After this kind of comprehensive education is promoted, at most another ten years, when this group of children in the school now go to the society and begin to be the masters of the house, the literacy and writing rate of the entire Datang society can reach at least six or seven percent, which is still because of the nomads, overseas aborigines, etc., cultural education is difficult to promote.
Of course, this thing, as long as the imperial court is constantly promoting, after two generations, it will be basically able to achieve more than eighty or ninety percent of people can be literate, and at that time, it will basically be regarded as the popularization of culture and education for the whole people.
The land of Tibet has been open to the Tang Dynasty merchants for more than three years, and the effect is still there, not only reflected in the commercial interests, but also played a role in the spread of Han culture.
The leaders of various tribes, if they want to trade with the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, must know a certain amount of Chinese, so as long as there are more than a few thousand people in the tribe, there are some people who can speak simple Chinese.
Then, in order to get these cleansing and scrubbing products, as well as delicious food, they will spare no effort to teach Chinese among their own people.
Because, the yamen specializes in preaching the teachings of Han culture, and holds the right to distribute these things, a person who can speak Chinese, teaches another person, will get a lot of rewards, and those who learn to write, then they can get more rewards, fifty words, one hundred words, the number of words, there are different degrees of small rewards.
Soon, when they found that the children were learning these things faster and that the children were more likely to get gifts, those who had mastered Chinese and Chinese characters first would focus on teaching the children first.
And when these children are raised under the education of Han culture, then the future here is very promising, and this is part of the plan that Sun Xiangfu conceived in Shannan Province.
For a period of time, the Tang Dynasty never thought that the land of Tubo could help the imperial court make profits and generate taxes, that is, the Yuantian District of Shannan Province, and the imperial court also invested manpower and financial resources to make start-up funds and build the place well, and then began to give back to the imperial court with a steady stream of financial and tax returns.
And Sun Xiangfu's plan is to use this reward system to make everyone here begin to be sinicized, and begin to obey the orders of the government, focusing on the government, rather than the tribal leaders and leaders.
There are many ways for them to get rewards, almost all of them can be done, send cow and sheep dung, give rewards, help the government open up fields, give rewards, help the government build cities, give rewards, help the army build roads, safety protection measures, give rewards·······
Almost as long as they are willing to contribute, they can get different degrees of rewards, although in the early stage, the imperial court may need to invest some materials to distribute rewards, but in the future, it is very likely to use their own output, in the distribution of their rewards, Shannan Dao's set of models, put anywhere to promote development, basically applicable.
At the beginning of April, Sun Xiangfu finally arrived in the city of Luo, and began to formally convene everyone to work, Songtsen Gampo had not built the Potala Palace at this time, and the original palace also belonged to his private property, Sun Xiangfu's office was actually a magnificent temple, but the monks were driven away by him.
These Jialou waves of cancer culture, must be eradicated, including other temples in the territory of the Luo Dao, this belongs to the Tang Dynasty official does not recognize the religion, if you believe in Buddhism, you can also, the imperial court later, will send serious monks over, all temples, will belong to the imperial court industry, not belong to a certain religion, monks, also need the imperial court issued documents, in order to preside over the temple, and only allowed to spread the Buddhist philosophy recognized by the imperial court.
Just like the Buddhism spread by Xuanzang in Tammado, it is now accepted by almost all the people in India and officially recognized by the Tang Dynasty.
The officials of various Tibetan ministries appointed by Sun Xiangfu, a total of two or three hundred, all gathered in the main hall of the temple and began to plan the planting industry in Tibet.
The existing several major planting areas here are basically controlled by six major tribal groups, known as Liuru, and after Sun Xiangfu arrived, he naturally divided it into six states.
They are Zhangxiong, Weiru, Yoru, Yeru, Lajou, and Subiru.
The Yalong tribe of Songtsen Gampo's own tribe is now stationed in Laru Prefecture, and the seat of governance is Luoqi City, and because the main clansmen of his own tribe have to move to Guanzhong, the fields of this generation are basically planted by the people of the imperial court.
The site is actually not small, there are almost nearly 100,000 mu, most of the altitude is less than 3,000 meters, in April, the temperature has the temperature of the spring period of Shannan Province, except for the occasional Xiaoice hail at night, it is generally above ten degrees.
Crops like sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, soybeans, etc., can be grown here.
In later generations, the agriculture in Tibet is also divided into these six pieces, because of the sunshine here, it is the most abundant place in the world, the temperature difference between morning and evening is also large, and the area of cultivated land with relatively high yield has reached more than 3 million mu, and Sun Xiangfu has summarized the information through various departments, plus some field measurements, and roughly obtains a data, the ripe fields that have begun to be cultivated here are only 300,000 mu at most, less than one-tenth of the later generations.
However, for the people in this area, this is basically enough, if the fields are planted with high-yield crops, plus animal husbandry, Sun Xiangfu does not even need to organize the people to open up the wasteland, just lead them to bring their own seeds, plant them in the mature fields, and take care of them in a more scientific way, and the yield can basically meet the needs of the locals.
is different from Sun Xiangfu's single-minded plan on how to farm, in fact, what the leaders of each department want most is to go to the prosperous place of the Central Plains, because the Yalong clan, the largest family in Tibet, has already decided to follow Songtsen Gampo to Guanzhong.
The second largest family, the Geer clan. He mobilized more than half of the people in the tribe to move to Yunnan.
These two of them, but the people who have mastered the top wisdom of Tibet, they are running to the Central Plains so hard, how can the rest of these people not be tempted!
You must know that after the First Battle of Yanpingmen, the situation in Tibet was that there were more women than men, and the ratio was even more unbalanced than that in the Central Plains, reaching a level of eight to two.
There are more than 100,000 people who originally belonged to the various departments of Tibet, and they were all arranged to work in various parts of Guanzhong as prisoners of war, and they have all lived in the Central Plains for several years, and they have long been inseparable from the prosperous life of the Central Plains.
And the current situation is that the people who were originally related to those people here want to go to them, you know, among those prisoners of war, many people were originally the leaders of these tribes, leaders and so on.
After all, after the realization of free cultivation in Guanzhong, every county, just the vacant fields that came out to rest, are tens of thousands of acres, hundreds of thousands of people, and it is not difficult to disperse in the Guanzhong of millions of people, and those fields are better allocated to them for planting than empty.
There are a lot of people who want to move out of this group, and after the statistics, the data is a bit beyond Sun Xiangfu's imagination, and those who are willing to stay are actually less than 400,000 people, much less than imagined, and most of these people are people who were originally enslaved by major tribes, and there are many foreigners who were robbed.
In the end, these people were compiled into more than 130,000 households by Sun Xiangfu, and the average number of people resettled in each state was less than 20,000 households, and there were slightly more near the city, with nearly 40,000 households, after all, there were nearly 100,000 acres of mature land here, as well as a certain amount of animal husbandry.
After straightening out the population and household registration, it is time to start assigning tasks to work, you know, the area of a state here can be larger than the area of a province in the Central Plains in later generations, and the areas that can be used for farming, planting trees and grazing are marked, in the future, the people here will live around these areas, because the population is too small, the distribution of cities and towns is very sparse, so there is also a little advantage, that is, the resources that everyone can use are relatively rich, and the planting is good ripe fields and grazing areas. It is also the most abundant place for aquatic plants.
How to plant the fields is dominated by the peasant students brought by Sun Xiangfu, the sergeants of the Annan Army are the organization and auxiliary, and the Tibetan people obey the command and exert their physical strength, anyway, it is only about 300,000 mu, which is distributed to 30,000 soldiers and more than 300,000 people, and each person is less than one mu.
Moreover, there are more oxen that can pull the plough here, and by the middle of May, all the fields will be planted with new crops, and the matter of the fields will be decided, and the whole area will settle down, and with more materials and continuous entry into Tibet, here, the people's livelihood has also begun to enter the high-speed development, and even when it is timed, Sun Xiangfu will organize everyone to collectively plant trees and do some infrastructure construction.
