Chapter 37: The Agrarian Revolution
"Lu Tianshi, Jieshuai, there is still a problem here." Duan Xiushi said.
Feng Changqing introduced: "Lu Tianshi, this is Changqing's subordinate officer, Cangcao joined the army Duan Xiushi. ”
"You are Duan Xiushi?" Lu Xiaoning nodded and said, I just wanted to say that I knew that you were also a famous general in the Tang Dynasty, but when the words came to his lips, he reacted again, and quickly changed his words, "I have seen you in Tianban." ”
"What?" Duan Xiushi was stunned when he heard this, what did Lu Tianshi mean by this?
Lu Xiaoning smiled and said, "You, Feng Changqing, and Li Siye are all martial arts stars. ”
The tent Chinese Wu was in an uproar, everyone looked at Duan Xiushi with envious eyes, only Cen Shen looked reserved, and said in his heart what about Wuqu Xingjun? I am Wenqu Xingjun.
Duan Xiushi was surprised and delighted, and didn't know whether to believe it or not.
But there is still something to say at this moment, and he immediately forked his hands and said: "Lu Tianshi, a month ago, Bian Lingcheng Mao recommended himself to come to the Quy Nhon Army to prepare the grain and grass needed by the army, but after Xiushi's verification, the grain and grass prepared by Bian Lingcheng can only support the army's needs for one month, but the battle of exterminating Tibet will take at least three months, and there is still a big gap here. ”
Cen Shen said: "Even if the number is urgent enough, it is difficult to change it into cattle, sheep and horses. ”
"Oops, forgot about it." Feng Changqing's face instantly collapsed.
At the beginning, Bian Lingcheng wanted to come to do grain and grass, but Feng Changqing was not happy, but he couldn't stop it at all.
Because Bian Lingcheng is a person in the palace and was sent by the sage to supervise the army in Anxi, who would dare to stop him?
The atmosphere in the tooth tent instantly became solemn again, and everyone could not hide their disappointment, such a big battle achievement, should they miss it? That would be a shame.
However, Lu Xiaoning was right in the middle of it.
He was dozing off here, and Duan Xiushi handed over the pillow.
Isn't this just the opportunity to give him the opportunity to carry out the agrarian revolution in the Great and Lesser Boru?
At that moment, Lu Xiaoning asked Duan Xiushi: "Duan Xiushi, how much is the ration needed to support the 50,000 Anxi Army for three months of operation?" If converted into cattle, sheep and horses, how many horses do you need? ”
Duan Xiushi said: "50,000 people need at least 90,000 stone for three months, but it is difficult to estimate when converted into cattle, sheep and horses, because there has never been such a case before. ”
At this time, Cen Shen stood up and said, "It is still possible to estimate." ”
Since coming to Anxi to join the army, Cen Shen has really grown a lot and mastered a lot of knowledge.
After a pause, Cen Shen said: "A ewe can milk about one and a half liters a day, a cow can milk about twenty liters a day, a mare is about fifteen liters, and the milk milked by 50,000 sheep or 5,000 cows or six or seven thousand mares is enough to ensure the daily needs of 50,000 troops. ”
Li Siye said: "I'm afraid that just drinking milk is not good, and I still have to prepare some food." ”
Cen Shen said: "It is enough to prepare 30,000 stone of grain in this way, and there is no need to recruit people to transport grain, and it can be carried by cows or mares grazing with the army." ”
Feng Changqing said: "If the enemy is wide, it still needs 60,000 stone of grain, and the number of cattle and sheep needs to be prepared three times, at least 50,000 ewes, 5,000 cows and 10,000 mares need to be prepared at the same time, and at least 8,000 iron armor are needed to detour the strange soldiers of Qiangtang, and an additional 24,000 war horses need to be prepared." ”
Duan Xiushi said: "Such a large army is still short of 30,000 stone of grain, 40,000 sheep, 4,000 cattle and 25,000 horses, and it is necessary to exchange ewes, cows and mares with the herdsmen of Da Bolu and Xiao Bolu. ”
"This ......," Li Siye said, "how can such a big gap be prepared in such a short period of time?" ”
Cen Shen also said: "If you are transferred from Qiuzi, Shule, and Khotanese towns, it will take at least half a year. ”
At this time, Lu Xiaoning said lightly: "This matter is not difficult to do, just let the little Bolu country and the big Bolu country provide, not to mention 30,000 stone grain and 670,000 cattle, sheep and horses, it is no problem to double it, according to the observation of this seat, the royal families and nobles of the big and small Bolu countries have quite savings." ”
Having said all this, Lu Xiaoning finally brought the topic to the agrarian revolution.
Oh no, it's not an agrarian revolution, it's an agrarian revolution plus a pastoral revolution.
Because both the Great and Lesser Bulud were semi-agrarian and semi-nomadic serfdom states.
The agrarian revolution is the fundamental solution to the financial problem, but it is too difficult to directly carry out the agrarian revolution in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, and it will inevitably attract resistance from Li Longji.
First of all, the slaves of the Great Bolu Kingdom and the Little Bolu Kingdom will be freed.
"Huh?" Hearing this, Feng Changqing, Li Siye and others couldn't help but be stunned.
What does Lu Tianshi mean by directly robbing the royal family and nobles of the Great Bolu Kingdom and the small Bolu Kingdom?
Soon, Feng Changqing reacted first, and took away the Hu Khan kings and nobles such as Ado Peiluo and Wei Shiyao from the tooth tent, because these Hu people could no longer participate in the next discussions.
Sending away Wei Shiyao and others, Feng Changqing said: "Lu Tianshi, Mencius said, big things are small and benevolent, and I have always been obedient to the Tang Dynasty, and the Great Bolu Kingdom has also taken the initiative to surrender, and at this time, there is no reason to plunder the pastoral property of its royal family and nobles, I am afraid that it is morally unreasonable, and it will also make the Anxi countries disagree." ”
Lu Xiaoning said coldly: "Xiao Bolu may be quite obedient to the Tang Dynasty, but it is extremely harsh to the people in the country, this seat has observed in the past half a month, the people in the Xiao Bolu country are all unclothed and have vegetables, the slightest mistake will be killed at every turn, or cut off hands and feet, and even skin children into human skin thangka, the little Bolu royal family and the big and small nobles are so vicious to the people, this kind of tyranny, shouldn't it be overthrown?" ”
"Huh? Overthrow tyranny? Feng Changqing and Li Siye and other generals were dumbfounded.
As a scholar, Cen Shen deeply agreed with Lu Tianshi's point of view.
At that moment, Cen Shen echoed and said: "Mencius said that the people are precious, the society is secondary, the monarch is light, and the little Bolu king and the small nobles of the little Bolu country are so ruthless to the people in the country, this kind of tyranny should indeed be overthrown." ”
Lu Xiaoning said: "Not only the small Bolu country, but also the tyranny of the big Bolu country must be overthrown." ”
Feng Changqing hesitated for a moment, but still said: "But Lu Tianshi, have you thought about it, if we rob the royal families and nobles of the Great and Small Bolu Kingdoms, even if we can get a temporary need, what will we do for a long time?" Without the support of the big and small Bolu royal families and nobles, it would be difficult for the Tang Dynasty to hold on unless a large number of troops were stationed here. ”
Li Siye then said: "However, the big and small Bolu mountains are far away, and the Tang Dynasty has no ability to garrison a large number of troops here, just wait for the Anxi army to withdraw, and the royal nobles of the big and small Bolu will inevitably make a comeback, and the small number of defenders left behind are only afraid that it will be difficult to deal with, and at that time, my Anxi army will be left and right, exhausted." ”
Feng Changqing and Li Siye's worries cannot be said to be unreasonable.
But the two of them did not see the power of the people at the bottom at all.
They had no idea how powerful the people at the bottom would be once organized.
But Lu Xiaoning knows that the change of dynasty is changing, and the people are the real driving force.
Lu Xiaoning said: "This matter is also easy to do, take out a part of the land, pastures, cattle, sheep and horses obtained from the big and small Bolu royal families and nobles, and distribute them to the low-level slaves, and then give these low-level slaves to the identity of the Han people, from now on, there will be no big Bolu people or small Bolu people in this land, but only Han people." ”
"Huh? This? Feng Changqing and Li Siye were dumbfounded again.
But it was just shock, and there was no resistance.
Because of the open atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty, there is no discrimination against the Hu people.
Lu Xiaoning continued: "Not only the big Bolu people and the small Bolu people, after the defeat of Tubo, the entire Tibetan Tubo people were also given the identity of the Han people, in fact, they and the Han people were originally of the same origin, this is just to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, in the future, all the people in the land of the Tang Dynasty will be Han people, and there is no difference between Han and Yi in the world." ”
Cen Shen said: "Lu Tianshi's strategy can determine the foundation of eternity, but it is just ...... The big and small Bolu, Yangtong and even the Tubo people have become accustomed to their own language, and the Tubo people even have their own writing, and the gods they believe in are also very different from our Han people, but it is difficult to identify with the Han culture. ”
"You don't have to worry about this, the god of Yala Chambord will give them an oracle." Lu Xiaoning said with a smile, "The mountain god of Yala Chambord is their supreme god. ”
