Chapter 108: Legacy Issues
Zhao Ming's words were asked, but Zhang He was stunned.
"Chief Zhao, I really haven't thought about this problem, because I don't feel much every time I go into battle."
Seeing that Zhao Ming was a little puzzled, he thought about it and explained again,
"Let's put it this way, Sir Zhao, the competition here in our grassland is very fierce, three days and a small fight, five days and a big fight, fighting for food.
In order to fight with the pasture for more people, everyone who has lived here since childhood will only think that killing people is a rare and ordinary thing, and there is no pressure at all.
Chief Zhao, I generally understand your situation. ”
Hearing Zhang He say this, Zhao Ming also nodded approvingly.
Although death is common in these years, the frequency of active killings in other places is far less than in the grasslands.
In recent years, there was still a habit of using human bones to make utensils for human sacrifices in Tibetan areas, which shows that the sparsely populated places actually pursued the ancient system.
"But when it comes to relieving pressure, isn't it you, Sir Zhao? But you have to pay attention to moderation~ You are full of energy at this age.
But it doesn't mean that you have the capital to squander at will, practice more pile exercises, and practice squats on weekdays, toe buckle the ground, levator anus, these are good for you. ”
Zhang He meant something.
This is naturally Zhao Ming's recent idle time, so he often asks Tao Yan to do that kind of thing.
There was no way, it was getting colder and colder on the grassland every day, and in addition to taking the brothers to daily exercises during the day, they basically ate and drank in the tent.
This food and lust is really true.
Zhao Ming couldn't help but touch his nose in embarrassment.
Now most of the herdsmen in Huozhongtun have migrated here, in order to quickly gather manpower in a short time.
And now Zhao Ming's camp has also expanded several times, not only has a storage room for storing cow dung and grain, but also has a large and small room.
And Zhang He lives next door to Zhao Ming.
It is estimated that I usually don't pay much attention, and next time I must pay attention to covering Tao Yan's mouth.
If you think about it carefully, it really shouldn't be, the brothers followed him to the north to live a monk life, but he, the boss, was at ease.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ming thought of another thing, and it was extremely serious.
"By the way, Master Zhang, what is the ratio of the number of women to the number of men in your previous tribe in Huo Zhongtun? What is the situation of each ministry? ”
"This ..... Our Huo Zhongtun is good, and the ratio of men to women is about 2:1.
As for the tribes that migrated from the east, the ratio of men to women was severely imbalanced, reaching 4:1 or more. Zhang He shook his head helplessly.
"So many more men than women? Isn't there a lot of people who can't get a wife? But why is this so? Aren't there more dead and wounded men on the grassland? ”
Zhao Ming was surprised, this is a very unreasonable phenomenon.
Zhang He was silent for a moment before he sighed, "Chief Zhao, I thought you would realize this problem earlier.
In fact, this is already the norm, and this is the case in our Inner Mongolia, the main reason is that the big tribes plunder the small tribes, and women are also the targets of plunder.
Therefore, there is actually no shortage of mothers-in-law in the two departments of Durhan and Maomingan, and some of the women who hold important positions in the escort team are even several mothers-in-law.
When a person is in the guard, it means that he has many children.
Reproduction in the grasslands is the main task.
This has been happening since the beginning of the previous dynasty, and it is getting worse, and have you ever heard of the chicken annihilation? ”
"This ....."
Zhao Ming really didn't know about this, and it sounded a little derogatory.
"Alas, it's a man's Huo Huo man, this thing is really unethical. But it can't be banned.
Our Huo Zhongtun is okay, I take the boys out to practice every day, and after this energy is vented, naturally there is nothing to think about.
But this kind of thing is not uncommon in other small and medium-sized tribes! ”
Hearing Zhang He tell the truth, Zhao Ming felt that the three views were collapsing.
I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in the grassland during this period?
However, Zhao Ming did know some of the problems of the former dynasty that Zhang He said, such as the prohibition of intermarriage between Manchu and Han in the previous dynasty, and intermarriage between Mongolia and Han.
This was a decision made by the previous dynasty to strengthen its rule, but it sowed the seeds of civil strife in the early years of the Republic of China.
Things like the independence of Outer Mongolia and the invasion of Outer Mongolia are actually problems left over from the prohibition order.
If the marriage had been realized at the beginning, I would have been afraid of the Manchu and Han, and the Menghan would have been a family long ago.
After all, in ancient times, there were not a few large caravans to trade in the grasslands, and if it weren't for the ban, I am afraid that they would have been integrated long ago.
"And Sir Zhao, that kind of thing is another matter, sometimes a mother-in-law has to be used by the whole family, otherwise this old man has a mother-in-law, and if the son can't find a daughter-in-law, he can only be a bachelor.
In the future, the follow-up men in this own camp will be gone, and this day will not be able to live.
According to the Central Plains, they will be eaten out by several other families and bullied to death. ”
What Zhang He said, every sentence to Zhao Ming sounded shocking, absolutely subverting the three views of ethics.
"But Sir Zhao, there is a way to solve it!"
"Oh?"
"That's a deal with Outer Mongolia!"
"Trade with Outer Mongolia?"
"That's right! Don't look at Maumingan and Darhan just exploiting the lower tribes to get a large number of women.
But in fact, they did not exploit the lower tribes much, and more women were exchanged for arms through trade and Mongolia.
I heard that a gun can be exchanged for several cattle and sheep, and it can also be exchanged for a woman.
At the beginning, most of the women in the two parts were exchanged for this, and then I felt that it was too much of a loss.
The woman was also saturated, and they were simply bartering livestock, not women. ”
Zhang He's news also shocked Zhao Ming.
What are these words?
The contrast between the two sides is that the drought dies and the flood dies.
"There are a lot of women in Mongolia?" Zhao Ming asked rhetorically.
"Of course! The proportion of Mongolian women is much higher than ours, and there are many reasons for this. Zhang He nodded.
Zhao Ming then remembered, as if this would be the case in later generations.
Later generations of Outer Mongolia seem to be polygamous, if you look at the family photos of Outer Mongolia, you can find a man surrounded by a bunch of beautiful mothers-in-law.
And there are many kilns over there, and there are millions of employees in the capital.
However, Zhao Ming can only think about trading with Outer Mongolia, and he can still fool the past by trading with Boss Guo.
If he trades with Outer Mongolia, it is estimated that the hat on his head will come to an end, and it is difficult to say whether he will eat peanuts or not at that time.
"I'll talk about this later, since the brothers can't vent their energy, let's practice more.
However, recently I have given the brothers enough food and drink to keep up with the training, and this food and drink cannot be less! ”
Zhao Ming waved his hand, how could he still have the energy to help his subordinates solve the problem of singleness, and he didn't know if the Maoming Anbu and Darhan Ministry would go crazy.
But near noon, ten fast horses were coming from the south.
The people who came were brothers stationed in Zhangjiakou, because there were many tribes passing through the south to the north, and it was impossible to cross the grassland alone, so these ten brothers were all armed with guns and horses, so it was much safer.
"But there's a letter from home?"
Zhao Ming was a little expectant, and it was only possible for these brothers to come back.
