The grassland wind and rain always come quickly, a burst of thunder, the torrential rain pours, less than half an hour, the rain stopped, the clouds dispersed, a round of red sun, hanging in the sky, the spring breeze sent a piece of singing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The brutal battles that took place in the winter seemed to be a distant memory, and everyone tried not to mention them. Joyfully doing their own thing, singing, or plowing the fields, or grazing cattle and sheep, or preparing bricks and tiles, and building new houses...... Obviously, the resilience of the grasslands is far greater than that of the Ming Dynasty.

Tang Yi spent ten days from Guihua City to Tuoketuo, inspecting all along the way, and also tasted the Yellow River carp in Tuoketuo. Everywhere is full of vitality, everyone is working hard, Tang Yi is very satisfied, looting cannot bring wealth, only labor, creating wealth with both hands, is the most lasting.

When he returned to the city of Naturalization, a small incident occurred, several officials in charge of dividing the fields were attacked by a tribe, a total of eight people, all of whom were killed, and their bodies were still hanging on tree branches.

Without waiting for the Ming army to dispatch, Dacheng Taiji immediately sent people to wipe out the small tribe, and more than 100 people, including the old and weak women and children, did not let go.

Since I died in the hands of Da Ming, no one dared to provoke the majesty of Da Ming, and as for driving Da Ming out, he couldn't even think of it.

Hearing this news, the generals just snorted, and said in their hearts that they were cheaper, if it weren't for Dacheng Taiji's action, it would fall into his own hands, and he would not be able to survive and die.

It was Gao Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who locked himself in the house all afternoon, and only in the evening did he run to find Hu Zongxian, and the two of them drank until the second half of the night, and Gao Yi left drunk.

Since then, Lao Shangshu has completely become a hardliner, the barbarians are afraid of power but not virtue, benevolence and righteousness are reserved for their own people, and Weibide is important...... This set of arguments frequently came out of Grohe's mouth, as if he had changed someone.

In contrast, Tang Yi did not have so many feelings, he made a suggestion to the imperial court, to arrange the disabled soldiers in this battle in various farms and pastures, let them be responsible for managing the farms, leading the surrounding youth, forming villages for self-protection, and granting these people thousands of households, hundreds of households, general banners and other official positions, and according to the official positions, a certain amount of land will be allocated.

This piece of music was slackened, and the imperial court immediately approved it, without any hesitation.

In fact, the imperial court is also worried, an unprecedented victory, so many meritorious soldiers, fortunately got the land of the Hetao, otherwise just the reward of silver, can empty the household.

In addition to the meritorious soldiers, those soldiers who were injured, disabled, and unable to stay in the army were also troublesome, and they were disbanded on the spot, which seemed that the imperial court was too ruthless, but they did not have so much money to raise, and it was easy to pick quarrels and provoke trouble when they returned to their hometowns......

I was so worried that I didn't know what to do, Tang Yi's method was definitely timely rain.

Although these wounded soldiers are disabled, most of them have not been abolished, they have been in the army for many years, and they have rich experience, especially many of them can write hundreds of words, draw pictures, and manage dozens of people...... Such a talent may not be available in the mainland, but it is definitely a treasure in the grassland.

Take out any of them, and you can hold up a ranch and a village.

Didn't the veteran elites of later countries often form security companies to perform some dangerous tasks for customers! Tang Yi happened to scatter these people everywhere, and with them, whether it was a businessman or an armed immigrant, he would not suffer.

This move Tang Yi also quietly broke a rule, in the past, except for those guards, martial artists could not be involved in local administration, and civil officials resolutely did not allow them to touch it. Tang Yi, however, handed over administrative power equivalent to the village and town level to retired soldiers, which not only broke the power structure of civilian officials, but even destroyed the monopoly of the gentry class.

It just happened on the grassland, and no one noticed it, only thought it was an expedient measure.

Tang Yi was like a seemingly careless farmer, casually throwing down a few seeds, and by the time people paid attention again, these seeds had already covered the vast land and had a strong vitality, and no one could eradicate them.

After almost four months, Tang Yi rebuilt the order after the fall of the Confession.

In this new system, the officers acted as the core force, they controlled the land and pastures, had administrative power, and were responsible for the security of the place, and each village and town pasture was like a fortress, nailed to the grassland.

They were connected to each other, blurring the original tribal boundaries and allowing the power of the Ming Dynasty to penetrate into every inch of land.

In addition to this, businessmen also have an important mission, they are the providers of capital and the organizers of production. The farms and pastures of the grassland, according to their needs, produce grain and wool, they transport the ironware, porcelain, and daily necessities of the Ming Dynasty to the grassland, and make wool into wool, cut into clothing, and transport it to the Ming Dynasty for sale.

In the first three months of the three years of Longqing alone, the trade volume reached a staggering five million taels.

According to estimates, by the time the autumn comes, when the grain is harvested and the wool is sheared, the trade volume will reach more than 30 million taels.

Over the course of a year, the scale of the smuggling trade has increased more than tenfold.

Although smuggling is lucrative, the quantity is too small to be large-scale, and it can only make some hard-earned money. But at present, the amount of border trade has reached almost one-third of that of maritime trade.

With logistics, there is a huge flow of gold.

With the influx of materials from the Central Plains, cattle and sheep woolen wool were bought, and a large amount of silver dollars were scattered, and more and more merchants began to like to trade with silver dollars.

"Master, this is the Jin Shang cast Guan Yuan." Wu Tiancheng smiled and blew at Guan Yuan, put it to his ear, and could hear a crisp sound.

"The fineness of silver varies from place to place, and when trading, not only the weight must be calculated, but also the color must be converted, which is troublesome! With silver dollars, it's different, each one is one or two, exactly the same, there are patterns on it, and there is no worry about the small people stealing the silver. ”

Wu Tiancheng sighed: "I heard that Heshengyuan is also preparing to issue gold dollars, one tael, exchange for ten silver dollars, and you can earn one tael by issuing one, tsk, what a big deal!" ”

Tang Yi played with the silver dollar in his hand, and the workmanship was really good, it was not bad at all compared to the Spanish silver dollar, the only regret was that the statue of Guan Gong above was not mighty, and the Qinglong Yanyue knife in his hand was too small, and he always felt a little feminine, maybe it was designed by Shen Meijun's girl.

"Do you look greedy?"

Wu Tiancheng shook his head, "Master, whoever plays with money, who doesn't want to issue currency, but we must be self-aware, with the family background of the transportation industry, it is not enough at all, the gold and silver reserves are insufficient, and the small horse-drawn cart is going to have an accident." Wu Tiancheng said with a smile: "Fortunately, the master saw each other early, as far as the disciple knows, Shanxi, Shaanxi, many rich people have moved out the silver stored in the cellar, sold it to Hesheng Yuan at a premium, and minted silver dollars!" ”

Tang Yi's eyes lit up, he was also quite helpless to those rich people, there are not many investment opportunities in the north, and many people are vying to save money for fun.

Many landlords are reluctant to eat or wear vegetables in salt water all year round, and the money they earn is exchanged for gold cakes and silver cakes, which are put into jars and sealed in cellars.

They are hardworking, simple, down-to-earth, capable, able to run a family, able to save money, and have the best character condensed for thousands of years. However, it is these people who have made less and less money in circulation in the market, and serious deflation has indirectly destroyed the economy.

Sometimes you really need a few unfilial sons, just to work, there is no waste, what to do with the things produced?

"Those rich people are the most conservative, but the Jin merchants actually have the ability to take silver from Pixiu's hands, they must have spent a lot of money, right?"

"The teacher is wise!" Wu Tiancheng said awkwardly: "Master, Heshengyuan absorbs silver deposits at a premium of one percent, and it does not fold color." For example, a variegated ingot of ten taels has only eight taels of silver, and when it is deposited in Hesheng Yuan, it can be used as eleven taels of full-colored silver, which can be exchanged for eleven silver dollars, and one cent of interest is paid every year. Seeing that it was profitable, those rich people were still rushing to deposit silver in it! ”

Tang Yi was taken aback, he didn't expect Jin Shang to be really willing to put down his capital!

"That's how they lost a lot of money, huh?"

"People are shrewd, although the silver was lost, but they issued this!"

Wu Tiancheng took out another ticket from his arms and slapped it in front of Tang Yi.

Tang Yi took it, the size was about the same as a silver ticket, it was very hard and textured, and there were colorful ornaments on it, looking at the sun, the watermark could be vaguely seen.

Paper, ink, printing, ...... All aspects, are exquisite, difficult to imitate, there is a special number on it, absolutely a collection of all the anti-counterfeiting means of the Ming Dynasty.

Look at the value of the currency, it's a hundred taels!

"Master, with this thing, no matter how expensive the silver they collect, they won't lose money."

Tang Yi looked at the silver dollars and banknotes in front of him, he was not jealous at all, but his heart was full of joy, the big pit he dug had already worked, the Jin Shang had already jumped in, and he couldn't wait to dig the pit bigger and bigger.

"Tiancheng, I suddenly hesitated."

Wu Tiancheng was startled, and hurriedly stood up, "Master, you can't be soft-hearted, we have spent so much effort, and it is easy to lay out the game, just waiting to close the net, the foundation of the Jin merchants for one or two hundred years, if you want to defeat them, there is only one chance, and there will be no such shop in this village!" ”

Wu Tiancheng is really anxious, the traffic line has been laying out for this matter for the past two years, and the manpower and material resources smashed into it before and after are incalculable, if they don't kill the Jin merchants, they will lose a lot.

Moreover, the Jin merchants are not easy to mess with, once they realize it, the consequences are unimaginable.

Tang Yi chuckled, "I know that the opportunity is rare, but after all, the big guys are all playing with money, once the Jin Shang is completely down, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not affect the credit of the traffic bank, when to stop, which step to do, you must know in your heart!" ”

Wu Tiancheng replied: "Obey the teachings of the teacher!" ”

……

In mid-April, Tang Yi bathed in the warm sunshine, took the Qincha honor guard, and a huge team returned from the grassland class.

At this time, Emperor Longqing in the capital had been looking forward to it for a long time, waiting for Master Tang to return. (To be continued.) )
