Chapter 29: Gan Zhiming
In the evening, the mourning platform of Liu Dazi and others in Taonan.
"Go back, all of you! Let me stay with my brothers! He Tianci waved helplessly at the soldiers of several guard battalions.
The night was as solemn as water, and the strong wind blew into the spiritual platform, He Tianci slowly lifted the covering cloth on the corpses of these brothers, looking at these miserable corpses, his heart was sour, the corners of his eyes began to moisten, and under the crystal tears, he seemed to see the sharpshooter who was talking with his neck when he saw Liu Dazi for the first time.
After the prostitution said the words of saving the souls of the women, it was as if he saw these brothers on the battlefield, killing little devils and old hairy people.
"Brothers, I hurt you, and I feel sorry! Why? Why is this so? He Tianci couldn't hold back anymore and cried loudly.
"Let me tell you from the bottom of my heart, it was these Mongolian princes, Belles, Gege, and Mongolian herdsmen who forced me to do it, brothers, I am sorry for you!" He Tianci clutched his chest and cried.
"Who?"
Listening to the footsteps outside, He Tianci couldn't care about his tearful face, and turned back vigilantly and asked.
"Gan Zhiming, in Xialiaoyuan, was entrusted by the boss to come to meet Master He!"
"Sir is polite, you see Huchen's ugly appearance for you to see, I'm really embarrassed!" He Tianci wiped the tears from his face, looking a little embarrassed.
Gan Zhiming wore a melon skin hat, stroked his thick beard, stepped forward and said respectfully: "No, Haotian didn't see anything, but when I came here today, I saw the kingly spirit of the adults in the Taonan City Tower, and those who become big things are not informal, and I can also see the pain in the hearts of adults!" ”
"The spirit of a king, who doesn't want to be a king. Especially in the great era of the late Qing Dynasty, the stormy and troubled times, this sentence is in He Tianci's heart! Thinking so in his heart, he didn't dare to say this, it would be bad to charge himself with attempting rebellion, He Tianci hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Where." Where, Mr. Haotian is polite, you can't say that! ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, Gan Zhiming understood, took the opportunity to change the topic, and said respectfully: "He Tong, what he did today, let Zai Xia deeply admire, judging from the expressions of the people present today." I think that in time, those fleeing herdsmen will definitely come back after the news of Taonan, and this Taonan city will naturally be stable! ”
He Tianci nodded again and again, and then asked with a smile: "The most important thing for the imperial court to send my army to suppress bandits is not to suppress bandits, but to settle down the Dongmeng area." Brother Haotian, you have lived in the Liaoyuan area for many years. I also have a certain understanding of this area, but what are the best strategies? ”
Gan Zhiming raised his eyes, looked at He Tianci, and said: "One is a short treatment, and the other is a long treatment!" It's up to the adults to decide."
"The short rule requires adults to quickly exterminate the Mongolian bandits, and then they can recruit workers in the northeast. Mengdong is rich in coal mines, cattle, sheep and horses, which can be sold for profit, and in addition, the area around Mengdong is vast and sparsely populated, and adults can also enclose the land. ”
"The first thing in Changzhi is to appease these herdsmen, and the so-called Mongolian bandits are just herdsmen who oppose the imperial court's extensive reclamation of herdsmen's pastures. As long as the farms of these herdsmen are temporarily returned to these herdsmen, so that these herdsmen can settle down and alleviate the conflict, and then there is migration, but this kind of governance is slow and costly, but the effect is obvious, the Taonan province alone can accommodate millions of immigrants, if it can really immigrate millions, it will completely change the proportion of ethnic groups in the population of East Mongolia, and then encourage Mongolian and Han trade and marriage, so that the nomadic society in East Mongolia will be changed to an agricultural society, so as to ensure the long-term peace and stability of East Mongolia. ”
He Tianci nodded again and again after hearing this, this Changzhi has spoken to his heart, if you want to develop without people, everything is in vain, and changing the proportion of population and ethnic groups will make the Dongmeng area completely stable, but it is not easy to recruit immigrants at the moment, this Taonan is the Mongolian grassland after all, it is too partial, most of the people who break into the eastern part of the country go to Fengtian, Jilin, and even Heilongjiang, not to mention the southern Mongolian grassland!
This immigrant must have to do it, but as Gan Zhiming said, first of all, these Mongolian herdsmen should be resettled, otherwise as soon as this immigrant came over to reclaim the land, the herdsmen rebelled again, and they would have lost their wives and soldiers.
He Tianci nodded slightly, and asked, "Then how should this bandit be appeased?" ”
"Most of the Mongolian bandits have encroached on the pastures of the Mongolian people because of the Qing court's immigration plan, and they have fallen into the grass when they are poor and have no food, and the adults can issue an order to go down and return the pastures, and those who hand in their guns can be exempted from their previous sins and re-registered as citizens."
Gan Zhiming thought for a while and added: "In addition, for those stubborn bandits, those who report their whereabouts can be rewarded, including gold and silver, and pastures. ”
"Good idea, whether it is Mongolian or Han, as long as there is hope for life, most people are still unwilling to take risks." He Tianci nodded again and again.
The key reason why there were Mongolian bandits in the late Qing Dynasty was reclamation. With the establishment of reclamation bureaus in the three eastern provinces, the people of Zhili and Shandong poured into the three eastern provinces to reclaim wasteland, and the Mongolian herdsmen thus had a violent conflict, at first the herdsmen could rent the pastoral area to the Han people to farm and collect rent, with the gradual development, including a large number of herdsmen themselves are not good at farming, gradually lost their pastureland, became unemployed vagrants, and more herdsmen's own pastures were greatly reduced, the Han-Mongolian dispute was fierce day and night, and eventually led to a large number of rampant Mongolian bandits.
As long as the farms of these herdsmen are returned to these herdsmen, so that these herdsmen can settle down, the knowledge of Western animal husbandry management is introduced, new animal husbandry, new pasture grass and new breeds of sheep, horses and dairy cows are promoted, meat processing factories, milk powder factories and weaving factories are established, townships and towns are built in a concentrated manner, the living standards of the majority of herdsmen have been improved, and even some Mongolians have been recruited to join the patrol and militia teams, and then the resettlement policy will not be so difficult at this time, and it will be natural to re-emigrate on the grounds of promoting economic development.
This Gan Zhiming is indeed a talent, what he said is also, to give himself a wake-up call, the introduction of Western management knowledge, the promotion of new animal husbandry, this grassland is unlimited business opportunities, what to open in the future "Mengniu", "Yili", this era of this kind of milk company does not seem to have, to the people of the late Qing Dynasty to cultivate a little "assured milk", high protein absolutely no melamine.
