Chapter 733. Buktu
Thousands of miles away from the bloody wind and rain of the poisonous ancient country, vultures are all over the sky, at this time the border in the north of the Ming Dynasty is a spring breeze, the beautiful scenery of the green sky, the perennial fight here has been quiet, replaced by green grass, herds of cattle and sheep comfortably gnaw on the spring green on the grass and sprinkle joy.
However, at this time, the Mongolian riders in felt hats and fur coats were no longer driving the sheep, but Han Chinese wearing cotton jackets and holding whips.
After the siege of Shengjing, the Mongol cavalry, which carried the plague and fell apart and retreated, brought disaster to the grassland was not much smaller than the losses caused by the five northern expeditions of the Yongle Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty.
If according to the past, the fight of these grassland tribes has nothing to do with the Central Plains Dynasty within the nine sides, and it happens that they are fighting lively, so that the Central Plains can live a peaceful life comfortably, until the next fierce and greedy grassland hero reunites the tribe, and the iron horse fiercely opens the gate of the Central Plains.
But this time, taking advantage of the great weakening of the Mongol tribes, the Ming people in Shanxi and Hebei unceremoniously went out of the pass, enclosed the land in the grassland, and presided over the northern defense of the imperial marquis, the governor of the Chinese army, and the general Tian Chou of Dingbei also sent an army to capture the fertile and rich center of Tumochuan, which was once the capital of the Tumote Department and came to the naturalized city.
The unwilling Heshute Department and the Zalut Department sent troops to recapture it twice, but they left an unknown number of corpses under the sharp artillery fire of the Ming army and the impenetrable flintlock pistols, and fled back in embarrassment.
At this time, the Tumo River has become the world of the Ming people.
It's just that in the past, the economic situation at the border gates, where Yan Xing went to farm outside the customs, has undergone a great change.
First of all, the grain is not so valuable, the development of the Great Northern Wilderness has created a huge commodity granary for the empire, the vast land, and the capitalized operation have dealt a heavy blow to the traditional small farmers and landlords.
In particular, the western rejuvenation plan presided over by Wen Meng greatly developed the Hetao Plain, the south signed an agreement with Dashun State, and the northern consortium began to operate Huguang, a traditional grain base, under the impact of the two major strategies, and the grain price fell from the most terrible 114 taels of silver and 1 stone of rice and 96 taels of silver and 1 stone of white flour in the 15th year of Chongzhen, to a mere 6,700 wen yuan and 1 stone, and there is no profit from the small-scale operation of the farm.
In addition, with Mao Jue's strategy of increasing domestic demand, in the distribution of wealth in the Ming Dynasty, it is no longer the unhealthy olive type, and the wealth share of the common class, which accounts for 956% of the head court and tail, has begun to thicken, and with the prosperity of industry and commerce, the middle class of social management that Mao Jue most hopes to see has gradually emerged in batches.
I have money in my pocket,. The direct impact is that the proportion of meat in the food category of Daming residents has begun to increase greatly, and the demand for clothing of the middle class has greatly increased.
The third point is the improvement of transportation, in the past, the Jin merchants wanted to send a caravan from Shanxi to the grassland trade, it took a few days, but now, a branch of the Northern Railway has passed directly through the Naturalization City, if you want to come here to do business, a few days are enough, and the bulk trade can also be quickly transported back to the customs.
So under the stimulus of the market, the Chinese farmers who had been hoeing for thousands of years also picked up the whip and started grazing.
It's just that this grazing method is completely different from the Mongolian people's water and grass dwelling, surveyed by the government, with the barbed wire produced from the Liaodong industrial base to evenly divide the grassland into a piece of square pasture of uniform size, the farmers used to plant crops, now plant pasture, the livestock move in their own pastures, this piece is eaten up and then replanted, driven to another piece to eat, at the same time the feed of the livestock is no longer all dependent on pasture, the vast soybean fields of the Great Northern Wilderness, Soybean meal, a by-product of harvested soybeans that are machine-pressed for oil, is sold in large quantities to the Tomocheon River and fed to livestock as feed.
Every autumn and winter comes, the Ming herdsmen will also slaughter a large number of adult livestock like the Mongolians, but the Mongolians can not save and digest so much meat, many slaughtered livestock are finally wasted, the Ming herdsmen are by the natural refrigerator in the cold season, the meat is frozen into a lump, a large number of sales to the rising big cities in the Guannei, the skin is sold to Zhangjiakou to make leather clothes, sold to the whole country.
The dividends brought by the fur and meat business have developed into a healthy new industry, and the Daming Ranch in Mochuan, the original home, has also begun to spread to the depths of Inner Mongolia.
This should be regarded as the best season in the grassland for thousands of years, blowing the spring breeze, basking in the warm sun, riding a horse galloping on the grassland, watching the herds of cattle and sheep around comfortably eating grass and spreading joy, there is really nothing more comfortable than this, shyly and bulging little belly dangling on the horse, looking at the sky high and light, Chiyohime simply hated himself for not having more than a pair of eyes.
Under such a beautiful view, even Changping relaxed a lot, looking into the distance from time to time.
But this happy mood does not include Han Xiaomo, the northern girl who followed Changping in Beijing and wanted to sue.
A wide green towel wrapped her entire delicate body like an Arab woman, tightly, not a trace of it was exposed, Changping's explanation was that the reporter's lady had wind sores, and the acne on her body was not windy, but in fact, under the green cloth towel was a rope net, which tied her firmly.
Chiyohime brought the Dongying binding method, two ropes around her full little breasts up and down, fixed under the armpits, the two arms can't move, the forearms are folded behind the back, tied to this parallel rope, tied to her is unable to move at all.
What's even more perverted is that Chiyohime, the little devil, was still tied around her slender waist, and then the rope went around from under the crotch, and the most important part of the woman was strangled by the rope, even if the legs were not tied, she couldn't escape with a meteor in stride, she could only walk with small steps in a very ladylike way, otherwise the steps would be big, and some of them would be her suffering.
Before entering the Beijing Division, Han Xiaomo admired Changping, the female editor-in-chief who broke the Zhengcheng case and avenged the people's grievances, but now, she hated it so much that her teeth itched, but she couldn't scold anyone if she wanted to, because under the veil, her small mouth was stuffed with hemp walnuts.
"Suspicious! Sadism!!! ”
Shouting the astringent walnut, this chick snorted resentfully in her heart, who knew that as if there was telepathy, Changping suddenly turned around suddenly, which frightened Han Xiaomo into a clever way, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile.
However, this Han Xiaomo was too worried, and Changping's mind was not on her at all.
Even now, Changping is still hesitant and suspicious in his heart, the Ming Dynasty is developing the grassland with great fanfare, but one factor cannot be avoided no matter what, that is, the Mongolian tribe.
In later generations, the Mongolian tribe is also one of the fifty-six ethnic groups and fifty-six flowers, Mao Jue is not a murderer, as long as the Mongolians who put down the knife and no longer plunder, Mao Jue is also happy to accept them, and now they are now in the northern pastures of the pasture, and there are already a large number of Mongolians hired by ranchers to help take care of the livestock, just like the western cowboys of the United States.
But this Baoketu is the first time that the Ming official has cooperated with the entire Mongolian tribe of the Zalubu Department, which is funded by the Jin Merchants Consortium and the Zalut Department to jointly operate this Baoketu coal mine, which not only solves the border problem, but also pulls the Zalut Department into the Ming civilization circle, killing two birds with one stone!
The interests involved in this are also very complicated, and if you are not careful, maybe Mao Jue's hundred-year plan will be ruined!
This is also one of the reasons why Changping doesn't believe this chick until now, if she is sent by a certain faction of careerists in the DPRK and the central government, and deliberately does bad things, then she Changping is a sinner through the ages!
Just as Zhu Yujun was thinking solemnly, the officer in charge of escorting in front of him suddenly ran back.
