Chapter 410: Prairie Form Mountains, Rivers, and Rivers

The Great Dry divided the 12 parts of the grassland, and did not divide the Southern Xiongnu into it, and the Southern Xiongnu were closer to the Great Qian, and many of them had already been naturalized. Wang Xin still sent the Hun Zhonglang general to govern.

Wang Xin gave the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu the surname Liu, and originally the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu wanted to give the surname Wang, but it was refused. The royal family didn't want the Southern Xiongnu to touch porcelain, and those ministers privately discussed, 'You are also worthy of the surname Wang?' ’

After all, more than eighty percent of the king's surnames in the world are from the royal family, and the other king's surnames are mostly from the Zhou family or princes.

After giving surnames to the Xiongnu, the Daqian court also began to give surnames to the southern Xiongnu tribes, or let these Xiongnu people change their surnames on their own.

The Southern Xiongnu lived in the border areas for decades, and were controlled by the Great Cadres militarily, economically, and politically, and have been deeply affected by the Great Cadres for decades, and it is estimated that this situation will continue for another few decades or hundreds of years, and the Southern Xiongnu tribes will no longer exist.

Wang Xin did not forcibly assimilate these people, after all, it was a means in times of war, but through economic means, imperceptibly, which was also an example for other barbarians.

After the completion of the division of the grassland, the next year, the imperial court's expenditure on the grassland was reduced, and after the emigration was abolished and the garrison was reduced, the expenses of the Zhenbei Protectorate were reduced from 5 million silver dollars to 1.5 million, and the tax revenue obtained from the grassland was also increased to 1.2 million.

The balance of payments was almost completed, which made the Daqian court also breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that after there is no control of the big cadres on the grassland, there have been a lot of small frictions, and now the big cadres are still there, and there are the troops of the Zhenbei Protectorate stationed there, these tribes are just small frictions, and when they test the bottom line of the big cadres, it is estimated that there will be more and more battles on the grassland.

Before the grassland was completely controlled, the chaotic and endless grassland was more in line with the interests of the great cadres.

In the following period, because the form of the grassland was changed and the Zhenbei Prefecture was reduced, the strategy for the grassland also had to be changed.

Wang Xin and the royal family discussed that the grassland should be mainly interfered in political and economic affairs, supplemented by military affairs, canonized the grassland tribes, and then traded with them, so that the grassland tribes could fight back and forth on their own, and the imperial court only needed to control the emergence of powerful tribes.

This does not cost much every year, and at the same time you can make a good profit.

You must know that the imperial court spent a lot of money in the Zhenbei Metropolitan Protectorate before, and that was because the materials transported by the imperial court to the Mobei grassland were sold at a low price. Change your strategy now, and you won't be selling at a loss.

Of course, there are also requirements for this, weapons are prohibited from being sold, iron tools are also restricted from being sold, not to mention bows and crossbow armor. There are not many restrictions on food, cloth, silk, salt, tea, sugar, etc.

At the same time, the imperial court would buy leather, beef tendons, wool, horns, cattle and sheep, horses, and so on from the grasslands.

In fact, the imperial court sold a large number of tea, sugar, silk and other enjoyable items, but also wanted to let those Xiongnu nobles enjoy and consume their will. These Xiongnu nobles were equally applicable to meat eaters.

And because the Huns lived in a bitter cold land, as long as they enjoyed these things, the possibility of being able to refuse them was extremely low. As long as the Xiongnu nobles develop into indulgence, it will be difficult for them to fight, this is the inertia of human beings, and it is also nature.

There is even a kind of Wang Xin who sells all kinds of items for enjoyment to the grassland at a low price, to see how far those nobles in the grassland can degenerate.

Of course, this thought only flashed through his mind. After all, the amount of money needed to spend this is not a small amount, and Wang Xin is also worried that if the Xiongnu are completely abolished, will other nomads rise. Will there be another fight then?

After some discussion with his descendants, Wang Xin finally decided not to implement this corruption plan. Except for the Hao Tianwen King, no one can see the distant future, they can only solve the things in the present and the next few decades, and leave them to future generations to deal with in the future.

After the imperial family unified its ideas, the Daqian court also began to implement it under the will of Wang Xin.

Since the imperial court raided the house because of the counterfeit silver coin case and discovered the large silver mine in the hands of the nobles, the imperial court began to discuss the introduction of new laws. However, the introduction of this law did not go smoothly, and many nobles and officials opposed it, and even did not want the nobles and officials to use their influence to influence some scholars.

Some officials and nobles even began to talk about the opening of mountains, rivers and rivers by the first emperor. What was the period of Emperor Xian, and what is it now. It's a pity that the imperial court and the royal family don't eat this set, and directly say that the Bang Zhou period was the well field system, and now it is a private field system, should we use the decree of the Bang Zhou period to deal with the current problem?

If someone really dares to be iron-clad and say that it will be dealt with by the decree of Bang Zhou, the royal family and the imperial court will directly miss Bang Zhou, have bad intentions, and plot against the crime.

It's a pity that after decades of political ups and downs, those nobles and officials have learned well, and no one dares to talk about this kind of thing. So I can only persuade in the form of side knocks.

The imperial court implemented decrees, and they could not be forced. After all, the mountains, rivers and rivers can't be controlled by the imperial court, and if those nobles really want to hide, the imperial court can't find out for a while, so this kind of decree must leave some profits for the nobles, officials, and heroes.

After several discussions, the Yamakawakawa Decree finally came into being. There is no tax on the common people for harvesting, fishing, gathering, and hunting. However, if it is done on a large scale, taxes will be collected.

For example, the enclosure of lakes for fish farming, the enclosure of mountains and forests to cut down wood to produce carbon, etc., all of which require the payment of taxes and lease payments to the local government. The details of the lease fee and taxes will be discussed again.

For things like minerals, after they are discovered, they can be purchased from the imperial court. Even if you find minerals on your own land, you still need to buy mining rights from the imperial court. At the same time, you need to pay taxes.

Ordinary minerals can be bought and sold at will, but important minerals such as copper, silver, and gold must be mined under the supervision of the imperial court. And the ore produced cannot be sold freely. You can smelt it yourself and sell it, or you can sell it to the imperial workshop.

Generally speaking, the price of buying mining rights from the imperial court is not too expensive, about one-tenth of the annual minerals, and the tax revenue of the imperial court is 20%. After calculation, it is roughly that the nobles who exploit minerals can get 40% of the profits, the imperial court gets 30%, the local government gets 20%, and the royal family is divided into the Shaofu.

Although it seems that the nobles have the highest profits, in fact, the nobles need to be responsible for mining, and they need to be responsible for human and material resources, and of course, the imperial court will also bear a part.

After some deliberation, the prototype of this decree was finalized.
