My friends and I were stunned, 200,000 taels a year, 1 million taels in five years!

Good boy, pie in the sky!

Man Gui has been fighting for so many years, and he has long been clear about rewarding merits, although the head can be exchanged for real silver, but it must be a young and strong Tartar, and the rest of the old and weak women and children, even those who kill good and take credit, the imperial history checked is not a fool, at most it is just to deceive the upper and lower levels.

But the real young and strong are extremely fierce, if you want to take someone's head, you have to fight with your life, to say how difficult it is, look at the scars on your body and you will be clear.

Man Gui couldn't have imagined that all year round, without doing anything, he could collect 200,000 taels, and there was such a cost-effective deal in the world?

"Lao Wu, we are friends, you give me the truth, don't deceive honest people!" Man Gui said, his fists clenched and clenched.

"You dare to play tricks on me, believe it or not, I'll have trouble with Zhang Shaobao!"

Wu Boyan was unceremonious, and slapped Man Gui's fist to the side with a flick of his hand.

"Brother Man, for the sake of our feelings, we will introduce you to a way to make a fortune, if you are not willing to do it, some people are waiting with silver!"

"Willing to do it, of course willing to do it, but my brother can't figure it out, your ability is greater than that of Emperor Lao Tzu......" Man Gui scratched his head.

No wonder he was surprised, doing business was more than the food and salary given by the imperial court, who would believe it if he said 2 ≤!

"Brother Man, to be honest, the one in the Forbidden City really can't manage many things."

Wu Boyan nodded to the end, and then introduced the way of doing business to Man Gui.

To put it simply, the grasslands are divided into pastures, which are run by large businessmen, who use the herders to manage the grasslands, raise livestock, shear sheep, and so on......

The Uiju soldiers, on the other hand, provided armed protection to the pastures. The output of the pasture was to supply the army, cattle, sheep, horses, and war materials.

This model is actually the grassland version of Tuntian, but on the one hand, it grows crops and on the other hand, it raises livestock.

However, Zhang Ke took into account the situation of the steppe, and left a way for the original Mongolian nobles to make a fortune.

Each ranch pays a poll tax to the Taiji according to the number of herdsmen employed, and the Taiji can also run the ranch themselves, and they have this income. They can live a comfortable life.

Of course, each Taiji can also retain a certain number of troops, but the number of troops needs to be reported. Weapons and military supplies can be purchased from Zhang Ke. These Mongol troops were also to protect the pastures, and at the same time obey the Ming army's call-up when necessary, assist in battle, and act as servants of the Ming army.

According to Zhang Ke's concept, the grassland will have three systems in the future, the first is the tuntian system composed of pastures, textile factories, and the army; The second is the original Mongol tribal system, that is, each Taiji still leads their tribesmen; As for the third system. That is the civil official system, Zhang Ke will not be satisfied with the division of Mongolia with the Taiji, sooner or later he will swallow the grassland and use the civil officials in the mainland. Directly rule the steppe.

Of course, this goal was not easy to achieve, and the original civil officials were only tax collectors who accompanied the merchants, ticket numbers, and farms. As for their powers, they will be expanded day by day, finance, justice, administration, and the military. In the end, the Taiji were completely elevated!

……

With such a complicated thing, it was useless to talk to Man Gui, Wu Boyan only told him three points: first, wool is very valuable; Second, the grassland needs to be protected by soldiers to be built into pastures; Thirdly, the army that protects the pastures gets 20% of the output.

Man Gui hugged his head and thought about it for a long time.

"Lao Wu, just tell me, is it true that the more grasslands you occupy, the more you earn!"

"That's right, but only if you can protect it!"

"Needless to say!" Man Gui jumped up, flew on his horse, and rushed towards his subordinates in one breath.

"Damn, don't kill the Tartars, do you hear it, they are all making money for us!"

His subordinates were confused, Man Gui didn't bother to explain to them, and shouted loudly: "Listen, do you want to marry a girl?" Want to be rich? Listen to me, go and force the Tartars to surrender now, remember, the more you surrender, the more our brothers will earn! ”

Man Gui hurriedly reorganized the army, led the men and horses and rushed down, the speed was so fast that Wu Boyan was dumbfounded.

"It's really rich to make ghosts grind!"

With the super thug of Man Gui, the grassland strategy was implemented rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the Wuban Department, the Karaqin Department, and the Speed Shohai Department have all become history, and most of the Taiji of each department obediently returned to the Ming Dynasty, and the remaining few were killed, and there are more options to flee west. It's just that they don't know how long they can escape.

The most terrible thing is not where the Ming army can chase and kill, because the army will one day retreat. However, the new mode of production can sweep the grasslands, and no one is exempt.

……

In the city of Yingzhou, Zhang Ke walked in front, and behind him were more than a dozen Mongolian nobles such as Shanba, Zhana, Wuban, and Bale. They were all nervous, and their hearts hung in their throats.

Under this city, they attacked for half a month, paid more than 20,000 casualties, and did not take advantage of it at all, on the contrary, they became prisoners, eager to stuff their heads into the crotch of their pants, it was really shameless to see their ancestors!

"Hahaha, guys, you didn't expect to enter Yingzhou, did you?" Zhang Ke didn't wait for them to answer, so he smiled and said, "This official brought you in just to open your eyes." Everyone must know that wool makes money, but why wool can make money, you can see enough today! ”

The big guy can't believe his ears, crazy, wool weaving is the housekeeping skill of the Han people, and it can make them feast their eyes?

Almost everyone in these taiji has woolen clothes, which are thick and warm, and come in a variety of colors, which are more attractive than traditional leather clothes. Women, in particular, prefer to show off with woolen clothes. Unfortunately, the supply of wool is in short supply, and it is far from satisfying the appetite of the Mongols. At the beginning, he insisted on attacking Yingzhou, but he did not have the intention of robbing the wool.

Seeing the things they dreamed of, everyone put aside the unpleasantness for the time being, followed Zhang Ke closely, and came to the only woolen workshop in Yingzhou City.

After walking in, there is a huge courtyard, with wings on both sides, although in the middle of winter, the workers are still busy.

The quality of the wool harvested varies greatly. It is also accompanied by a large amount of grass powder, clods, fat and sweat, so it must be cleaned, carbonized and sterilized, and coarse hair and dander must be removed......

Each process is extremely meticulous and cumbersome, and the workers are meticulous in their operation.

Zhang Ke smiled: "That's all for the preliminary processing. Let's see how to weave! ”

Oh, my God!

Taiji almost fell down, it's so troublesome, it's primary, so what is advanced?

With a stomach full of doubts, they followed Zhang Ke on, and then they looked at the woollen workshop, where the clean wool was to be opened, carded, and divided into narrow strips, mixed with essential oils, and spun into soft wool yarn.

Then there's the grooming. Slitting, rubbing, processing into spun yarn, and then combed wool yarn...... all the way to the finished woolen velvet. Before and after, there are more than a dozen large processes, and as for the more detailed, I can't count them.

After watching a third. All of these Taiji gave up the stupid idea of stealing masters, and they were left with only admiration for the Han craftsmen, such a complicated process. How did they figure it out?

It's no wonder that the woolen wool is so much softer than their felt, and there are so many people who dare to put in it!

Industrial manufacturing itself is a kind of display of strength, Zhang Ke remembered that Hu Linyi, a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty, was on the Yangtze River, and when he encountered a Western steamer speeding back and forth, he actually died of hemoptysis!

In his mind, he really couldn't understand why ships could be made of steel, why they could have no sails. The huge shock of industrial civilization scared a famous minister to death.

Now these Taiji are also terrified, in the past, they could comfort themselves that the Han people were cowardly, and no matter how much good things they produced, they would be robbed by them.

But now that they have lost in the hands of the Han people, the only trump card is gone, and all that remains in their hearts is apprehension, panic, and fear from the deepest part of their psychology!

"Hahaha, there are less than 500 people in the workshop in Yingzhou, and the income can only be 100,000 taels a year, and in Yizhou, there are factories with 5 or 6,000 people, and the woolen wool produced is more exquisite, and the colors are more and better! Moreover, the official also told you that we Han people can produce woolen wool and cannons, the same workshop, the division of labor is detailed, and the efficiency is amazing! Within a year, 10,000 muskets can be made, and in this war, the official brought less than 6,000 or 10,000 musketeers, you think what kind of scene it will be. ”

Zhang Ke is purely bragging, with such a large production capacity in Yizhou, he has already blasted wild boar skins into the mountains. However, these people present were deeply frightened and couldn't help but believe it.

Shanba laughed and said: "Zhang Shaobao's military strength is unparalleled in the world, no one is unconvinced, I don't hide it from you, Lord Shaobao promised to sell firecrackers to our Uliangha, and it won't be long before the warriors of Uliangha can also gallop across the country." Of course, the first in the world is Yizhou soldiers, and it would be good for us to be the second! ”

As soon as these words came out, they frightened all Taiji, Shanba, this guy ascended to the sky in one step, and he had no revenge for the anger he suffered in the past!

The thought that this kid might rush to their tribe with firecrackers and slaughter them all made their scalps tingle.

"Lord Shaobao, the little one is willing to be your slave, please, give us the firecracker!" Wuban fell to his knees, tears streaming down his eyes.

It's shameless, there are no bones at all, some people secretly slandered themselves, but as soon as they raised their heads suddenly, the others slipped down from their chairs one by one and knelt in front of Zhang Ke.

"My lord, Shanba is a wolf, he has a fire gun, he will definitely destroy us all, please open heaven's grace, and reward us with a fire gun!"

"Yes, yes, if we don't give it to us, we won't get up!"

"Fart!" Shanba jumped up angrily and scolded: "Lao Tzu saddled the horse before and after the young man, and helped deal with Galtu, where are you grandsons, and you still have the face to ask for things, it's really shameless!" ”

Seeing them arguing and shouting, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Ke's mouth, this is what you want, you can be Lao Tzu's lackeys honestly!

"This official has a strategy to protect your safety, do you want to hear it?" (To be continued......)
