401 There is no time to catch slaves in the north
The overall situation in the north is very good, but there is no time to catch slaves. Because their main opponents were the Xiongnu and the Hu people, these opponents were very wise, the Huns fled to Mobei, they never dared to harass the Qin people through Mobei, and the Qin people went to the problem of impassable roads, and could not cross Mobei to pursue. The Qin army also has tools such as compasses, but this is only available to the Celestial Army and the Navy, and the army only has high-ranking generals. It is still somewhat difficult to popularize it to the front-line troops.
The other Hu people fled even further, into the area of today's Great Khing'an Mountains, and they entered the dense primeval forest. The Qin army, on the other hand, was a regular army and was very disgusted with this kind of guerrilla warfare. Therefore, they just patrolled back and forth on the grassland, and as soon as they found the Hu people coming out, they would immediately kill them, for the captured. It is very cruel to drag to death, to obtain money, obviously not cruel to kill the opponent to stimulate the pleasure.
The Xiongnu and Hu people were obviously born warriors, and it was more difficult to catch them. And the Qin army obviously didn't have time to capture prisoners of war. They are protecting a large number of civilians from the Six Nations. Or they are natives, but now they are all quasi-Qin people, because they have almost divided the grassland. The area of pasture per person is much larger than that of the land that is cultivated. Grasslands cannot be used to grow wheat. Can only be used for grazing. Grazing requires a large amount of area. It is also for this reason that states were established later in the North than in the West. It took a lot of debate before they accepted the herding method. A lot of people don't know how to graze, he only eats meat and drinks milk.
But the people of the Central Plains were very capable of learning, and many of them learned to ride horses, milk cows, herd and so on by providing logistics services in the Qin army. Some also tamed some loyal Huns, Hu people. It is different from the cruel treatment of the West and Guanzhong. The north tends to be moderate, even friendly, because they are learning how to graze, how to survive.
In terms of land division, there are great differences among immigrants, according to the bill given by the Qin state, the smallest unit is one hundred mu, but how many cattle and sheep can be supported by one hundred mu, which is not enough. And the area of the pasture is different. After intense practical discussions. They raised the minimum unit of land to 500 acres, and the maximum unit was unlimited. The price of 500 acres is the same as the price of 100 acres of land. It's all ten. In this way, the division of land is finally completed.
The grassland is not the same as the land, and there are cattle and sheep on it. Cattle and sheep have legs, you can't control them at all, and just when immigrants are worried, people find something cheaper. Barbed wire. This kind of military defense equipment began to enter civilian use in large quantities, and in very large quantities.
People are very patient in their pastures to drive wooden stakes and pull up barbed wire. Because it's about your own pasture. Unlike in the West, in the North, the parliament temporarily took the place of the state government, and they demanded that immigrants must make a public road. So, people began to turn the turf upside down and sprinkle lime powder to prevent grass from growing. Then tamp it and sprinkle pebbles, which is the prototype of the road. In order to prevent the snow from covering the road in winter, they planted trees on both sides of the road. And just like that, with more and more immigrants. The road stretches north like a human vessel, and it is surrounded by pastures of various sizes.
As for the defense, it was also handed over to the security company for the time being, but the interest of the security company was not very great, because there were no ethnic minorities here, there would be no prisoners of war, and without prisoners of war, there would be no slave income, so after the security company entered, it quickly withdrew. They turned to the military to find a new place to make a fortune.
The security company withdrew, and the immigrants had to form their own militias to defend their homes. The withdrawal of the security company does not mean that the trading company will withdraw, but the people of the trading company see business opportunities, a large number of horses, cattle and sheep. Be the object of their acquisition. The mainland is in great need of these. And the cattle and sheep and slaves here have a price. They spontaneously participate in it and help with immigrant training for free. As long as they sell their cattle and sheep to themselves. Moreover, they also went to hunt activities from time to time and catch slaves together. The relationship between the two sides is very harmonious.
In the north, after a long period of brewing, two states were finally divided. In the beginning, there was only one council in the north, but as more and more people participated. The parliament at once had five hundred people, that is, the state had a population of half a million. This is already the sum of the two states. On the issue of the establishment of the state government, both sides want to choose the location of the state government in their own position, either to the west or to the east. The debate between the two sides was very intense. There were even group fights at the venue. In the end, Meng Tian had to step in to stop the behavior. The two sides finally calmed down and discussed again, and in the end, Meng Tian was tired of hearing and had to propose a plan to establish two states. Both parties agreed. So a huge state legislature split into two at once. Both legislatures were quick to elect their own governors. The governor was like a race, and at the same time handed the petition to the King of Qin.
This is a problem for King Qin. Because it was named after the one who laid it, there were three Mongolian states at once. This stumped King Qin. If you use other names, for example, use the names of Wang Jian and Shang Wen. The two sides do not know whether they will accept it. In the end, Shang Wen put forward his own opinion, simply called Mengzhou, and added something in front of the name to distinguish it. And so the name was born. East Mongol State, Simon State.
Two more states were born in the state of Qin at once. The people of Qin rejoiced. But the farmer was gloomy. The north is busy with Jianzhou, and there is no time to take care of slaves. Slaves were a very scarce commodity for them. Helplessly, they could only temporarily ease the oppression of the slaves, because the replenishment was very unsmooth.
With the establishment of the states, Qin's agricultural production began to get on the right track, the west was growing wheat, and the north provided a lot of meat, which solved the food source of Qin, and the abundance of food, so that Qin could do many things they wanted to do with confidence and boldness.
For example, in education, the Qin State has set up a special education fund, and at the same time, a large number of private donations have entered. The cost of education has been basically covered. These fees are mainly used to provide free public education opportunities.
There are many people involved in education, and driven by a series of support policies by Shangwen, many people in the Qin State participated. The public schools established by the government are only one of them, and there are many private schools. In particular, the government has established only one institution in higher education, while most of the institutions are established by enterprises themselves.
