Chapter 568: Dividing Rights

"It's so lively. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info, "Isn't it, this year is even grander than last year." Gu Letu led his family to the venue of the horse racing festival with a big carriage, and his wife also got out of the carriage and exclaimed.

At the venue, the crowd was surging, there were men and women, everyone was smiling, Gu Letu jumped out of the carriage with his wife and children, and began to find a place to camp, the venue seemed very chaotic, the east and the west were a piece, none of the roads were straight, and the bags were placed messily, and the roads were not easy to walk.

Guletu found a place on the outskirts for his family to set up camp, and he led his foal to the horse racing registration point to register. Confident you can win? Actually, no, I want to participate, not to win awards. Anyway, their tribe doesn't rely on this for a living.

At the registration point, there was a long queue of people and horses. Everyone is holding their own horses, there are several Han people maintaining order, and the registration point is also Han Chinese, no way, this horse racing festival was originally hosted by Han people. The Han people provided high prize money, which attracted many people to participate, so that this horse racing festival was lively every year.

That is, because of the Han hosting, the top few can have the opportunity to go to Chang'an and participate in the rematch of the Tang Horse Racing Festival, otherwise who cares about you.

Suddenly, there was a little confusion at the registration point, and it turned out that someone was not in line and cut the line. was unhappy to be cut in line, and fought on the spot, causing a little chaos, no one went to fight, only onlookers cheered, cheered loudly, or criticized loudly, and loudly instructed how to fight.

However, the chaos quickly subsided, and nine men in red jackets, armed with bright muskets, rushed over to maintain order, first drove away the people who were watching the excitement, and after separating from the troublemakers, they knocked the people unconscious against the two people who made trouble, one person with one rifle butt, and then took them away directly and threw them aside.

didn't see the excitement, Gu Letu hurriedly went back to line up, thanks to the trouble, just now the queue was out of order, he saw the stitches and squeezed forward a little. He squeezed forward, and naturally someone was squeezed to the back, but, looking at the group of soldiers who were eyeing each other, they touched their noses and recognized, who let themselves just rush to see the excitement.

Not reconciled? Just now, he was so gentle that he hit people with the butt of his gun, and if it really made trouble, the musket was not vegetarian, and those soldiers would really be able to fire.

"Tang Dog." , Gu Letu heard someone muttering behind him, the voice was very familiar, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Da Chi, he pretended not to hear what Da Reprimanded just now, and greeted him, "Da Rebu, you are here too." He remembered that it wasn't him just now, and wanted to come and queue up again like him.

"Let's go to the theater together in the evening, I heard that there is a new theater." , Gu Le Tu beckoned Da Xuan to go to the play together at night, Da Xuan shook his head with a gloomy face and refused, and then suddenly bared his teeth, "I was accidentally injured a little, and I want to rest at night." "Hurt? Can you still race?' "Hmph, I can outrun them with one hand."

After registering his name, Gu Letu waved goodbye and walked back, thinking in his heart which drama he wanted to watch at night, this horse racing festival is becoming more and more lively, and it is also related to the influx of various Tang opera troupes. They bring a lot of entertainment, what puppet shows, puppet shows, shadow puppet shows, his children like to watch the marquee the most.

There are also storytelling, all kinds of dramas, his wife's favorite play is the West Chamber, probably this year, last year his wife watched it three or four times. On the way back, he was greeted by many people, and he kept greeting people, and everyone was smiling.

However, the dress is very different, some people wear brand new sweaters or cotton clothes that are special products of the Tang Dynasty, and some young women still have various leather bags from the Tang Dynasty in their hands, which are obviously not used, but they are swaggering and hanging on their hands.

Some people are in old clothes and are not in good spirits. In fact, these clothes are not old, in previous years, they are also good clothes, everyone comes to participate in the Rouzi Festival, and they will always wear the newest and most beautiful clothes.

There will be such a situation because some people have followed the footsteps of the Tang Dynasty, listened to the words of the Han caravan, vigorously raised sheep and chickens, and also accepted the guidance of the Han people to plant some suitable pastures, such as the kind of green grass that can bloom purple flowers, and what alfalfa gets.

Although planting this, a piece of grassland will be abandoned for a year, and many people are reluctant to plant it. But after the second year of planting, the effect came out, eating this kind of pasture, the cattle and sheep fattened very quickly. Now there are many people who begin to imitate, but a little later, the tribe who does this first is better off in every way than those who do not obey.

Gu Letu tightened his clothes, although the weather was not very cold. But he suddenly felt a chill, thinking of this, he knew why Da Zhen was injured, why the master told him to have less contact with their tribe.

It's not because the master hates the poor and loves the rich, Da Xuan definitely went to rob the caravan, but he probably didn't ask for anything good, so his face was ugly. He understands the principle that the prairie is the jungle, the people on the prairie understand it, and the people who come here also understand it.

That caravan is not easy to gnaw, and Da Xuan must be stealing chickens and rice. That's not why he felt cold, though. But unconsciously, many things in Datang have penetrated deep into the grassland.

Horse races, all kinds of dramas, entertainment, and all kinds of commodities have gone deep into the grassland. He had a sweater on his body, and the accessories in the woman's hand, all of which were produced by the grassland. However, after the things produced in the grassland were sold to the Tang people, they were sold back by the Tang people, and the price was many times higher.

He didn't understand what exploitation was, what it meant to be poor in the scissors of industrial and agricultural products. But instinctively it didn't feel right. As far as his sweater was concerned, he would never want to trade it for the same weight of wool. Although he also knows that there is a deduction of labor costs, as well as freight. But why can't it be done in the grassland?

Also, those women get leather jewelry, and they also get skin, and they go to Datang to go around and come back, which is more than a little expensive. A small, remarkable cow leg leather is enough to cover a leather bag, and it is actually worth the price of a cow. And the beautiful utensils, the beautiful glass ornaments, the perfumes, everything drove women crazy.

A year's hard-earned income was given to that loser woman, spending most of it, thinking of this, he gritted his teeth a little, but this is not what makes him chill, the most chilling thing in his heart is that his living habits have to change.

They grassland people, unlike the Han people who farmed the land, lived in pursuit of water and grass, and when the grass in a place was almost eaten by cattle and sheep, they would change places.

But after planting alfalfa, many people are reluctant to change places, but I planted this alfalfa, if I change places, come back next year, God knows who took it. This alfalfa is different from grass, and it is also different from the crops of the Han people. Alfalfa can be harvested several times, go this year, and next year it will be cheaper for others.

Also, some people have started to build houses like the Han Chinese. In the past, in order to facilitate migration, people on the grassland lived in Aobao. Now some people are learning from the Han people to build brick houses. This protects against wind and snow.

The wind and snow on the grassland are very terrible, maybe a big snowstorm comes, cattle and sheep will be buried, maybe even Ao Bao will be buried. A brick house was built, and a coal stove from Datang was used in it, which was warm and safe in winter.

There is another reason why the settlers are reluctant to migrate, and that is the caravan. The caravans would come to the grasslands to trade with them, unless they were buying in large quantities, otherwise they did not need to travel far, before the winter came, they sold all kinds of meat, and the caravans would bring some coarse grains, which could make up for the lack of hay and keep the cattle and sheep through the winter. If you leave, the caravan may not be able to find it.

For various reasons, many tribes on the grassland who were constantly migrating and living in pursuit of water and grass began to settle. But some people don't. The Dakude tribe is already preparing to migrate, but their tribe is reluctant to leave this year to guard the alfalfa fields.

Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Gu Letu was at a loss, go back and ask the master, the master is so wise, he must know. His father came one step ahead. Now I am in the big tent, and I am arguing with people.

The reason for the quarrel was because Datang really sent a messenger to come. The Jockey Club has attracted all kinds of tribes and nationalities to come here, and people are very gathered, and the messengers come to visit, and they are very willing to find people, and they don't have to run around.

The envoys of the Tang Dynasty came, and in a stern tone, reprimanded them for constantly attacking the caravans of the Tang Dynasty, causing losses to the lives and property of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the loss of safety. There is also the fact that he did not fulfill the return of the captive Tang people. Therefore, Tian Khan is very angry, the consequences are very serious, and the steppe tribes want to give Tian Khan an explanation.

Then, there was an argument. The various ministries passed the buck to each other, and the people's hearts were in chaos, everyone said that they did not kidnap any people of the Tang Dynasty, and they were all done by others. The robbery of caravans is also, we have not done it, we are all herdsmen who respect the Heavenly Khan and support the good rule of the Tang Dynasty.

The envoys of the Tang Dynasty spoke very seriously, saying that if they did not rule out armed intervention, Tian Khan might send troops to the grassland, and the leaders of all tribes must give Tian Khan a satisfactory answer. So, these days, there have been quarrels one after another, and the quarrels have not ended. Everyone has their own agenda.

In terms of big forces, the head of the Xi tribe was the most active, shouting to catch the thief, uniting the tribes of Muwei and the Yan Ya, and forcing them to seem to have come together again to get an explanation from the Khitans. If it is really a union of several departments, it is now secretly converging, but the power is greatly damaged by the Khitan, and it may not be able to bear it.

However, some people at the meeting advocated that there was no such thing, everyone had been returned to Datang, and everyone else was dead. Anyway, the Tang Emperor has no evidence, no matter how harsh the envoy's tone is, they don't care, thinking that it is just a lie and threat. If you are intimidated twice by the messenger, you will admit it, and you will only be punished more severely.

In this way, there is still a market, and the two Khitan leaders, with this argument, advocate stubborn resistance to the end, although several ministries jointly persecuted them, but such remarks won the support of many people. So it's not that they don't have the power to resist.

There is also a part like him, thinking in his heart, how to cut this matter from his own tribe. They are now deeply involved with Datang, and many things rely on Datang, wool has to be sold to Datang, and various commodities have to be obtained from Datang. They have either returned the slaves or plan to return them, after all, the tribes have caravans coming, and the Tang slaves are not easy to hide. Therefore, they are all thinking about how to confess, rather than perfunctory past.

If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place? He could feel that everyone had to be afraid, although many years had passed, but the majesty of the Tang Army back then was still deeply pressed on their hearts.

At the beginning, he knew that Tian Khan was playing really, and Tian Khan had never asked for this in the past, he always felt that something was wrong, and advocated returning those people, but many people didn't believe it, and others were soft-spoken, so they could only manage themselves, and now it seems to be right.

A horse racing festival passed with a lot of noise. For the lower herdsmen, they don't know anything, and they have a lively life. For those leaders, it was a quarrel and quarrel, which lasted for three days and was spent in such a quarrel.

The Tang Dynasty is also in the midst of excitement, the people are talking about things on the grassland, those who are officials, pay attention to the movements of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Chen reforms the official system. The three provinces and six ministries have gone into history. The political hall is the highest administrative body of the Tang Dynasty, with nine departments.

There is a prime minister who will serve a term of four years and may be re-elected once. The government hall has nine departments: industry, agriculture, commerce, finance, soldiers, rituals, officials, and education. The supreme governor of each ministry, Shangshu, automatically enters the government hall. Not only has the number of departments increased, but even the functions have changed greatly.

In addition to construction, it also manages several aspects of agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry in Datang. Agriculture is tun land, not agricultural production, and animal husbandry is animal husbandry in addition to military horses. Now, it has been purified, and they don't have to take care of the construction, managing Datang's industrial production, industry, mining, water conservancy, fishing and hunting, and so on.

In the past, the Ministry of Industry was the most important part of various national construction, such as the emperor's mausoleum, as well as palaces, cities, etc., but now they are not in charge, and the Ministry of Industry has been changed to the Ministry of Construction, and it is no longer under their jurisdiction.

The Ministry of Households, which used to be in charge of money, was regarded as the Ministry of Finance of the Tang Dynasty, but now many of its functions have been deprived, and what he can manage is the national people's household registration. Many other functions have been assigned to the Ministry of Finance, and the supervisor has to be the account or, more correctly, the management of Datang's human resources. The Ministry of Rites is now in charge of etiquette and culture, as well as diplomacy.

Agriculture, business, finance, and education were all newly created departments, some of which were old positions, but with new names. The Ministry of Agriculture was upgraded from the former Sinong Temple, the Ministry of Finance was the former Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Education used to belong to the Ministry of Rites, and only the Ministry of Commerce was newly built to be in charge of matters related to the trade of the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to a few newly added departments, some units at the level that cannot be constituted as subordinate units still maintain the original division-level units and are directly subordinate to the political affairs hall. For example, the Police Division, which used to belong to the Criminal Department, is now directly under the Political Affairs Hall and no longer belongs to the Criminal Department, which is a purely legal institution. The same is true of the Ministry of Construction.

These changes are not the biggest, the biggest change is the power system of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chen officially changed the Tang Dynasty court into an institution with five separate powers.

In accordance with the principle of separation of powers of the founding father, Li Chen officially divided all the rights of Datang into five.
