Chapter 231: The System of Getting Something for Nothing (9)

Can that even be counted? Timur admired his subordinate and friend, Tokhta. When he had previously discussed with Tokhtar how to convince Kublai Khan, Tokhtar told him what he thought Kublai Khan wanted Timur to do. In the end, the deduced reaction is the same as what Kublai Khan is talking about now.

But happy to be happy, Timur knew that the final difficulty had come. Tokhtar made it clear that he didn't know why Kublai Khan was so reluctant to see Boyan now. According to the previous trust of the monarch and the minister, as well as Boyan's contribution to Kublai Khan, it should not have become like this.

But there was no other way to do it, and Timur continued: "Great Khan. Now the Mongols are on expeditions everywhere, sending more troops and getting less booty. This is not because the Mongol army is weaker, but because the enemy has become stronger. When I went to Italy, I saw Italian knights, who were dressed in iron armor and could not shoot with a bow. When the knights fought, they stood side by side and pushed over like a wall. The knights of our Mongolian army still have the same tactics as before, especially since everyone wants to go home alive with the spoils of war, so they dare not go head-to-head with the enemy. It can only be avoided. The enemy drove away our troops, and then retreated back into their fortresses, and we could not storm them, and we could not win. ”

Kublai Khan's face was not good, and he looked at his grandson coldly. In fact, some people said these words, and those people were all beaten by Kublai Khan as cowards. Even if it is his own grandson, it is necessary to be whipped if he is so cowardly.

"Great Khan, I think the Mongol system needs to be changed. It is no longer possible to gather troops before every expedition, or before a battle. Those who were assembled like that were people for the spoils of war. When the war is unfavorable, don't they just run away? At that time, Hulagu Khan's subordinates timidly did not spend an expedition to Mamluk, and the battle was unfavorable, and the other Mongol armies retreated. It was not that the general could not retreat, but that he insisted on fighting to the end for the glory of Mongolia. Marshal Boyan also withdrew back then. ”

"Humph! Boyan! Kublai Khan couldn't help but snort coldly.

Ever since Kublai Khan had to withdraw from Dadu under the fierce offensive of the Song army, he became more and more dislike Boyan. Sometimes Kublai Khan also reflected on why this was the case, and finally found a reason. After withdrawing from the capital, Kublai Khan found that it was Boyan who dominated the Mongol situation. Moving west was Boyan's idea, and all kinds of expansion were also promoted by Boyan. Now that Boyan's past is mentioned, Kublai Khan feels that Boyan's efforts to promote westward migration are to take revenge. And then there is the Eastern Roman princess he never forgets.

Kublai Khan, as the Great Khan of Mongolia, became a supporting role. As long as he had such feelings, Kublai Khan's feelings for Boyan would become a little worse. But Kublai Khan also knew that it was both inappropriate and dangerous for him to dispose of Boyan for such reasons. If even Boyan was killed by Kublai Khan, how frightened should the ministers of the court be. Nothing Boyan did was a capital crime.

"The Great Khan, the Marshal of Boyan now occupies the richest part of Egypt. Not only is there so much food here, but there are also many True God cultists who have been subdued. Those True Gods were Mamluk's subordinates back then, and they could train them to fight tough battles head-to-head. And Mongolia also has to change, just like the government military system. The Mongol pro-army had to fight head-on. Only then will we be able to open up the situation. So I was willing to go to Egypt to train the new army. ”

"Why Egypt?"

"Egypt went west to Tunisia and many Berbers, conquered them, and trained them to be the infantry of the new Mongol army. You can use the rebellion of the True God Cult elsewhere to test the power of the new army. At this time, if Marshal Boyan can conquer Italy, we can still pass through Italy to attack the Crusader countries in northern Italy. ”

After finishing the carefully prepared content, Timur felt his heart skip a beat. Everything he said, the specific content was naturally what he had to do. But the reason has little to do with what he says. Kublai Khan is not in good health now, and everyone thinks that this Mongolian Khan will not live for a few years. And who will belong to the future Khan is a big question. If Timur only had the current strength in his hands, he would not have a chance to become a Great Khan, and he probably wouldn't even be able to keep what he has now. If you can become the governor of Egypt, you will have a good place anyway.

"You go down first." Kublai Khan said.

Leaving the palace gate and riding his Arabian horse, Timur let out a long sigh. He had never been good at this kind of thing, and although he could understand the analysis of liberation and let him think about the complex relationship for himself, Timur felt that he could not do it. Tell the attendants to go and ask Tokhtar to meet him in the evening, and Timur rode straight to his house.

As soon as the third prince on this side, Timur, left, the second prince came to see Kublai Khan. After meeting, Kublai Khan said with some distress: "Your body needs to rest well." ”

His face turned pale, and he replied, "Thank you Great Khan." ”

At the beginning of the year, he met Hao Ren and was suddenly poisoned on the same day. In the end, I probably thought that the true gods in the house were poisoned, but there was no hard evidence. The only thing that could be determined that day was that Hao Ren was not poisoned. Because all the food is prepared by Hao Ren, all meals are still divided into separate meals. Hao Ren didn't have a chance to enter the kitchen again.

So it's a matter of confusion who the final murder is. The True Gods were suspicious, and the Mongol nobles were not able to prove that there was no problem. In the end, he could only admit it. The search for who did it can only wait for him to become the Great Khan. And if you want to become a Great Khan, you have to be recommended by Kublai Khan. At the moment, Kublai Khan was only very favored, but he did not express his position publicly, and he came to see Kublai Khan with his research results.

This was a set of institutional arrangements within the direct domain of the Great Khan. If farmers and herders cooperate, nomads pay first for cow dung and then for sheep to graze. The weeds in the field, the small weeds that are not yet 40 days old, the sheep can eat them cleanly, leaving a field of sheep manure

The main part that pastoralists are able to pay is livestock work. If a piece of land is ploughed twice a year, then it needs to be ploughed, 2 weededs, 2 ditched, a total of six times into the ground, whether it is cattle or horses, it is the strength of the herdsmen.

Farmers pay first of all for straw, wheat bran, soybean meal, and the by-products of farming are winter fodder. If there is not enough, use grain to pay the bill, after all, straw is worth a cart, and it is not worth as much as cow dung.

After the research of the second prince, it is no problem for a nomadic herder to trade 3-5 farmers, the herdsmen solve the winter grain and grass, and the farmers increase the area that can be cultivated by one household. One Ainle can supply the smallest village (20 farmers) based on 5 herders, and a large village needs the cooperation of multiple Ainle.

After answering the law, he could see that his plan had been approved by Kublai Khan, and his heart rejoiced. His pale face was a little bloody. Then I heard Kublai Khan ask, "If you do this, who will manage it?" ”

"Naturally, it's an official." Answer: Ma Ba Ra replied.

Kublai Khan smiled slightly, "When I was in Han China, the Mongol officials managed this kind of thing, and none of them did not bring resentment to the local level. In the past, the affairs of the Han land had to be managed by Han officials, but now the affairs of the True God Cult have to be managed by the officials of the True God Church. Do you have so many officials of the True God Cult in your hands? ”

"This ......," he replied, and was asked as he did. Only then did he realize that although Kublai Khan, who looked like an old child, was ambitious, he still had experience and everything.

Seeing that he had been appointed as the heir of the Emperor and had been dealt a big blow, Kublai Khan sighed: "You, if you want to make such an arrangement, you will have to contact the priests of the True God Sect and other scholars in various places. Only with the help of these readers can you carry it out. ”

"Does the Great Khan really not want the True God Cultists to be officials?" A: Ma Ba Ra asked tentatively.

Kublai Khan nodded, "When I was in Han Land, I just let a group of Han people in Han Land become officials, so there are many things that are difficult to deal with. If when the Song army goes north, we can really kill all the Han people in the area, how can those Song troops drive straight in. They didn't answer at all. ”

After listening to it, he couldn't help but slander in his heart, if there were no Han troops, how could Dayuan kill all the way to Jiangnan, and finally let the Great Song Dynasty court be forced to surrender to Lin'an. It's just that I mislooked at the situation back then, and misheard the Song traitors at that time tell me that the Great Song Dynasty was strong and weak, and there was no strength in the local area.

Because of that, the Mongol court did not think that Zhao Jiaren, who had shown strong combat effectiveness in the Battle of Ezhou, was still capable of fighting against the Mongol army after the fall of the Great Song court.

However, at this time, he did not dare to compete with Kublai Khan, so he said: "Actually, we don't need the officials of the True God Sect, we can learn from Hao Ren's method and set up a farm." Let the members of the True God Cult be treated as serfs. It's the drive. Whether the farm is well run or not, you can let Hao Ren send someone to customize it. Our side sent Mongols to be farm stewards and do it according to the regulations. Ahem......"

Kublai Khan nodded slightly at this time, feeling that this method was really good. Since they are not willing to let the True God Cultists turn over one day, then beat them to a lower level than the fourth class people, and let these True God Cultists be serfs forever, and their children and grandchildren will continue to work forever on one farm after another.

As for the design of the farm, as mentioned by A. Ma Ba Ra, Hao Ren can send someone. Moreover, Kublai Khan's mind turned, and he already felt that it was not for Hao Ren to send someone to design, but for Hao Ren to send someone to design and manage for a certain number of years. Kublai Khan, the level of the Mongols' management of agriculture, could not have been clearer, and without a few years of discipline, it was simply unreliable.

While the Mongol Khan was thinking, he heard the coughing sound of the monk getting louder and louder. Raising his head to look at his second grandson, Kublai Khan wanted him to hurry up and rest. I saw that Tara Ma Bara suddenly opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of black blood, and then fell softly to the ground.
