Chapter 878: The Law of Necessity
Anyone who has studied history knows that moving from an agricultural society to an industrial society is an inevitable law of history, and it is also the general direction of development in the future.
And Chen Fei clearly knows that if the transformation is successful, it will not be a simple "Datang leads other countries" but "dumping him a few streets"!
With the use of some advanced agricultural tools developed by the strange workshop, the crops with high output value are slowly popularized, and the labor force required for agricultural planting is gradually shrinking.
Although Datang has signs of transformation towards an industrial society, this is not something that can be achieved overnight, it still needs to develop slowly, and it is best to conform to the laws of nature. In the event of a famine, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Therefore, Chen Feixin's workshops have lowered their wages and benefits, so as to balance the incomes of workers and peasants as much as possible, so as not to cause social conflicts.
Everything seems to be developing in a good direction, in a summer time, Datang has undergone great changes, and the trigger for these changes is our protagonist Chen Fei, although many people don't know him, but the trademark "Chen Ji" has spread all over the country, almost everyone knows.
Chen Fei's [Treasure Chest System]'s lottery points also skyrocketed to one million. But he's useless now, occasionally open the system to take a look, and then protect the treasure for a long time.
What made him laugh and cry the most was that as the popularity of Chen Kee's shops became more and more popular, many unscrupulous vendors played the "copycat version" of Chen Kee's logo, misleading many people to buy fake products, which had a certain impact on the brand.
As a last resort, he had to officially issue a "certificate of authorization", and the store with this certificate is the authentic "Chen Ji", and the others are counterfeit, which effectively avoids subsequent losses and preserves the brand image.
At the end of summer of that year, before the weather turned autumn, a team of more than 300 people set off from Chang'an City, carrying hundreds of carriages of goods, walked out of the west gate of Chang'an City, and headed north.
Such a large team, even the lively Chang'an City is rarely seen, but when everyone saw the logo of the team, they were less surprised and changed to a "I see" expression.
The goods transported in the team are written with the word "Chen" written on the outside, and they are also printed with Chen Kee's unique trademark, everyone knows at a glance that this is Chen Kee's team, and now only Chen Ji can send out such a team of so many people, right?
However, what is strange is that Chen Ji's team did not go to the Western Regions, but went north, heading towards the Beiting Protectorate.
"Strange, I thought this team was going to the Western Regions, why did they go to the north?"
"Hehe, maybe Chen Ji wants to do the business to the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate."
"It's a desolate place, and it's not a peaceful time, Chen Ji... I'm afraid I'm going to have to fight. ”
"Hehe, maybe." The soldiers at the city gate talked a lot and watched Chen Ji's team go to the north.
This team, as discussed with the soldiers, was indeed heading to the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate. Chen Fei prepared for two months, and finally prepared the goods, and dared to send a team to Beiting Duhu Mansion before the autumn to be the first person to eat crabs!
Of the 300 people, there were only 50 people who really belonged to Chen Ji, and the rest were all guards sent by the imperial court, escorting them all the way to the north.
Why did the imperial court send troops to escort it? Because Li Shimin couldn't wait, he wanted to speed up the rule of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, so he vigorously supported Chen Fei to go to the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate to do business, and specially sent soldiers to protect it, after all, the north is still a little unsafe.
At the same time, the northern prairie ........
With the defeat of the Yinan Khan and the capture of the Weishui River, the steppe completely lost its ruling power, and now it is the Tang people who they once hated to manage them.
It is very uncomfortable to be ruled by aliens, and the people of the steppe are all people with strong temperaments, who do not submit to the rule, they only believe in immortality and the strong.
Obviously, although they can't beat the Tang Dynasty in war, they have always refused to admit the fact that the Tang people are "strong", and they always think that they are stronger than the Tang people in their bones. Therefore, over the course of a year, their tribe had many conflicts with the army of the Tang Dynasty.
Unfortunately, there was no leader to gather the tribe, and the strong men of the tribe were either captured or killed on the banks of the Weishui River, so... The tribal revolt has become almost one-sided and abused. The Tang army easily suppressed the rebellion of the tribe.
However, there are so many tribes that can't stand the rebellion! There are hundreds of tribes on the grassland, large and small, each of which is making a fuss, who can afford it?
Moreover, a tribe that has been taught a lesson, changing places and continuing to make trouble, is really a headache for the governor of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate.
Fortunately, the imperial court issued a timely decree, and the grassroots officials of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate were self-recommended by the herdsmen, and the officials who served could manage the tribe on their own.
As soon as this decree came out, the originally noisy tribe suddenly became strangely quiet, and everyone was suspicious of this decree and had their own thoughts.
Rights, indeed, are the most demagogic things.
Under the premise that it is impossible to resist the rule of the Tang Dynasty, the "fruit" thrown by the Tang Dynasty has a fatal attraction to many people!
Then, the imperial court issued a second decree, the Tang Dynasty will open the Beiting Protectorate to do business, build towns in some places, where herdsmen can exchange the necessities they need, and the imperial court will open schools in the towns for free, students who graduate from the school can participate in the imperial examination, and the court will assign him official positions.
As soon as the two decrees came out, the grassland suddenly boiled. It's simple, because they need just that.
As we all know, the materials of the grassland are very scarce, many necessities of life are scarce, and they have been in a state of hostility with the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and it is difficult to get the necessities of life. Therefore, the imperial court's decree of opening up business was undoubtedly very attractive to them.
If the former is attractive, then the latter is not an attraction for herdsmen, but "gravitational force"!
Officer? Manage your own tribe? This is undoubtedly to let them be the "soil emperor" in the tribe! With such tempting conditions, who would refuse?
So the herdsmen rarely stopped the commotion, and in a strange atmosphere, they waited for the following from the imperial court - the specific implementation rules!
After a month of waiting, a caravan of more than 300 people finally officially stepped into the territory of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and at the same time, they also brought the follow-up decree issued by the imperial court!
