Chapter 86: Imperial Grain National Tax
The image of Monabu in the surrounding tribes has actually been successfully shaped by Yan Zheng.
When they hear the three words Monabu now, everyone else thinks of power, justice, wealth, and friendliness.
This kind of shaping is very valuable, relying on pure force, it is impossible to conquer a place for a long time.
The ancients often said that you can only fight the world immediately, but you can't rule the world immediately, but in fact, the truth is almost the same.
Sending agricultural technicians also has a role to play is to let ordinary people from other tribes get a glimpse of these capable people in Monabu.
And when he learned that Mona was willing to send his people to help them grow the best rice.
All the tribes readily accepted it, and many tribes felt that this was a big benefit.
Because every time they come to Meaux to trade, they can see the crops growing outside Meaux.
They originally thought it was a problem with the seeds, so they specifically asked for a batch of seeds.
Yan Zheng also happily agreed, and put a batch of high-quality rice into the market. And tell these tribes that now Monabu can already eat enough by farming.
While these tribes were envious, they were also ecstatic to plant the rice they had bought.
It's just that the rice that has been sown has not even shown signs of germination.
This made them very puzzled, and they kept coming to find out the secret of Monabe's farming.
In fact, the reason for not germinating is very simple, that is, these paddies have been cooked!
This is all about paving the way for agricultural technicians and making these tribes understand the importance of farming experience and methods.
And in this agricultural diffusion, Yan Zheng also put forward an additional clause, that is, if you learn the secret method of farming in Monabu, you must pay one-tenth of the harvest every year.
This additional clause also did not cause any objections, and for other tribes, the key was to be able to grow rice better, and they didn't care that Mona would take some of it.
Yan Zheng would not tell them that this clause was actually the beginning of taxation.
Before you know it, these tribes will become the providers of the imperial grain and national taxes, and gradually they will become customized.

A few days later, the team of agricultural technicians set out on their journey. As the leader of the team, Ashin not only brought a lot of wooden farm tools, but also brought a large number of ramie seeds, rice seeds and beans.
Long Ming is one of the agricultural technicians, and when he knew that there was this task, he was also very resistant, and it was not until Yan Zheng came forward to criticize the education that he reluctantly agreed.
The tribe he helped was Anabe, which was relatively close to Monabu, which made him less disgusted.
"Ashin, why do you want to teach other tribes to farm?" Walking on the road, Long Ming couldn't help but ask.
As he walked, Ashin looked sideways at him and asked, "Isn't that good?" They learn to farm, and we get 10 percent of our harvest every year! You count the amount of food. ”
Long Ming knew that this was beneficial, but he felt that it was a very loss-making thing to teach his farming methods to others.
"But the harvest is in their hands, how can we guarantee that they will be handed over to us?"
"You're stupid!" Ashin looked at him strangely and said, "What do you think we are raising such soldiers for?" If the terms are agreed, if they don't give it when the time comes, they will naturally let the army ask them to give it! ”
Long Ming continued to say stiffly: "You have also seen that our fields have been increasing, how do we know how much they harvest each year?" They can hide it. ”
Ashin smiled helplessly and said, "You have thought about it, do you think that the Son of God wants to get it?" Don't worry, you can teach them well, don't mess up this! ”
Long Ming nodded, looked at the forest not far away depressedly, and said with a little unhappiness: "There is water here, the ground is flat, if you cut down the trees, you can immediately become fertile fields!" ”
Ashin smiled: "This place is all within our territory, and one day it will become our fertile land!" ”
As the two spoke, they came to Anabe, and Shiru had already led people to wait at the gate of the wall.
As soon as they met, Xiru greeted him warmly, and the etiquette was impeccable.
This made Long Ming feel a little relieved, and felt that Anabe was quite respectful.
Ashin introduced: "This is an agricultural technician, and the name given by the Son of God is Long Ming!" ”
Xilu immediately praised and said: "Finally, we have prepared the most delicious food, waiting for your arrival, I hope you can teach our tribe to farm!" ”
Instead, Long Ming twisted his hands and pretended to be a godsman: "This is all within my responsibility, and it's not worth mentioning!" ”
Ashin smiled on the side and said back: "I won't stay to meet the leader of Ana, I have to go to the next tribe!" ”
Shiru hurriedly returned the salute and asked Ashin to bring their tribe's greetings to the Son of God.
As soon as Ashin left, Long Ming suddenly felt a little weak, and the soldiers who escorted him also left, leaving him alone in the Ana Department.
Shiru made an inviting gesture, and Long Ming dared to go inside.
As soon as he entered the territory of the Ana Department, his brows immediately furrowed, and he lamented on the spot: "Your tribe actually at will, don't you know that feces and urine can fertilize the fields!" What a waste. ”
Xiru hurriedly smiled: "It's not that our tribe doesn't understand!" ”
Long Ming didn't say anything more, and continued to walk inside, the more he went, the more disdainful he became.
Not only is there excrement everywhere, but it is also full of potholes, and the thatched huts are smaller than those of Monabe.
When he came to the central clearing of the Ana tribe, he found that the people of the Ana tribe had gathered there, and there was meat still stewed in a large cauldron.
The leader of Ana warmly invited him to sit down, which made Long Ming a little proud again, he had been so respectful of a tribal leader in the past.
"Agricultural technician, all the clansmen of our Ana tribe are here, how many people you want later, choose at will!" Leader Ana said with a smile.
Long Ming nodded with satisfaction and said, "Your tribe still has a lot of labor, and with so many people, it's not too much to open a thousand squares of land!" ”
Ana smiled smugly, he took farming very seriously, since he knew that Monabu could make a living through farming. He clearly realized that this was a big deal for the tribe, so he was willing to spend his blood.
"Then please ask the farmer!"
As he spoke, the Anarang tribal maiden danced and had the best piece of venison cut into Long Ming.
The disdain on Long Ming's face couldn't be hidden, in his opinion, Anabe's dance was very boring without drum accompaniment, and their girls were not as strong as Monabu's.
As for venison, it is only in the mouth, and it is difficult to call it delicious.
Long Ming's contempt was undisguised, and everyone in the Ana tribe felt it, but they dared not speak out.
Many girls secretly looked at Long Ming, and after seeing it, a burst of surprise rose in their hearts.
They usually don't have access to the people of Monabu, they have only used Monabu's exquisite products and eaten the salt produced by Monabu.
And the dragon roar they saw today could be said to be completely different from their people.
It's no wonder that they have low self-esteem, Yan Zheng personally ordered to buy a suit for these dog things.
So Long Ming had a clean face, a straw hat on his head, straight short sleeves sewn from linen, a pair of linen shorts with a crotch under his body, and a pair of deerskin shoes under his feet.
When he walked into the Anabe, he didn't notice it himself, but everyone in the Anabe felt that the man was glowing.
It seems to be someone from another world, which makes them even more curious about Mona.
Those girls who were obsessed with and pursued Mona's products even looked at Long Ming's thin body, revealing bursts of brilliance.
Long Ming ate the meat calmly, and he skillfully used the chopsticks he brought with him.
In the eyes of others, this has an indescribable elegance.
Many people in the Ana tribe are thinking that the Mona tribe is not only powerful, not only are there many goods, not only are everyone fair, but also the people of their tribe look very noble.
