Ming Dynasty: Teaching The Prince Dragon-Slaying Skills At The Beginning

Chapter 756: With The Inducement Of Profit, The Mongolian People Of The Ming Dynasty Betrayed The Pe

"How to absorb the nomadic people on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang is not difficult to say.

"As we all know, the nomadic people on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang live in pursuit of water and grass."

"So for those of us who are not familiar with the environment of the northern Xinjiang grassland, it is generally difficult to find them in time. This is why it has been difficult for the Ming Dynasty to completely wipe out the remaining tribes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty on the northern Xinjiang grassland."

"But just because we are not familiar with the environment of the grasslands in Northern Xinjiang does not mean that the other Mongolian people who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty are not familiar with the environment of the grasslands in Northern Xinjiang!"

"The northern Xinjiang grassland is big even if you say it is big, but it is also small if you say it is small."

"For the Mongolian people of the Ming Dynasty who are familiar with the grassland environment of Northern Xinjiang, it is not difficult to find other nomadic tribesmen on the grasslands of Northern Xinjiang."

"Maybe they and some nomadic tribesmen on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang are still in contact with each other!"

"They only need to promise huge profits. For example, if they bring a teenager over ten years old or a young man under forty years old from a nomadic tribe in the northern Xinjiang grassland to the Ming Dynasty and submit to the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty court will directly reward them with a lot of money. "

"If they bring a boy under ten years old or an old man over forty years old from the northern Xinjiang grassland to the Ming Dynasty and submit to the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty court will directly reward them with five hundred coins."

"If they bring a girl over ten years old or a woman under forty years old from the northern Xinjiang grassland to the Ming Dynasty and submit to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty court will directly reward them with two pieces of money."

"If they bring a girl under ten years old or an old woman over forty years old from the northern Xinjiang grassland to the Ming Dynasty, and submit to the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty court will directly reward them with five hundred coins." ”

"In addition, no matter whether they are young people, young girls, strong men or women, or old people or women, there is no limit to how many people the Ming Dynasty wants!"

"At the same time, I promise them that those nomadic tribesmen who were brought to the Ming Dynasty and submitted to the Ming Dynasty will not be treated harshly by the Ming Dynasty as long as they do not cause trouble or cause trouble."

"The Ming Dynasty also distributed acres of land, grain seeds, reclamation tools, warm clothes and quilts and other materials to the nomadic tribesmen."

"In this way, they can not only profit from it, but also the nomadic people on the northern Xinjiang grasslands can live a relatively stable and secure life, and no longer have to live in pursuit of water and grass like they do on the northern Xinjiang grasslands."

"Thinking about it this way, most of the Mongolian people who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty should be active and willing to find and contact the nomadic people on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang, and work hard to bring them to the Ming Dynasty and make them become the Mongolian people of the Ming Dynasty. Yuan people!"

After speaking, Yan Changqing sat on the chair in front of the podium and took another sip of tea to moisten his throat.

His method, to put it harshly, was to let the Mongolian people who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty engage in human trafficking.

It's just that the targets of the sales are the nomadic people on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang.

Although this move seems cruel, it is much gentler than the slave triangular trade in the great Western voyages in previous generations.

At least the Ming Dynasty would not treat the nomadic people on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang as slaves. Song Dynasty wanted them to go to the Liaodong Plain and the grasslands of northern Xinjiang to replace the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Although they may live a little harder than the real people of the Ming Dynasty, at least the Ming Dynasty still treats them as one person.

Moreover, if the nomadic people on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang are Sinicized quickly, then it is estimated that in one or two generations, the Ming Dynasty will truly treat these nomadic people as Ming people and treat them equally.

At that time, what kind of treatment will the common people of the Ming Dynasty have, and what kind of treatment will these nomadic people who have surrendered and become sinicized have.

Don’t think that being a citizen of the Ming Dynasty will be bad. In this era, the Ming Dynasty in this period is definitely one of the countries with the most advanced productivity in the world!

Coupled with the series of policy reforms in the past five years during the Ming Dynasty, and the various improved seeds and farming tools developed by Yan Changqing under the leadership of the Shennong family.

There are also various inventions made by Kesheng Banheng, such as briquettes, sea salt, salted fish and so on.

As well as the promotion of fertility knowledge created by the medical saint Ban Heng, etc.

The people of Ming Dynasty today are not said to be living a good life, but at least they have quilts and briquettes to keep out the cold in winter.

They also have access to hot water for bathing, hot food, salt, and salted fish two or three times a month.

Throughout the year, the whole family can barely guarantee that they have enough food and clothing.

With this kind of life, any dynasty in the past history can already be said to be a prosperous era!

For the people of the Central Plains, it was a prosperous age, and for the nomadic peoples on the northern Xinjiang grasslands, it was even more of a prosperous age.

Don't think that the nomadic people on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang are living a good life. In fact, if they were really living a good life, they wouldn't have to go south to plunder the Ming Dynasty, or use foreign wars to consume the population of their own tribe. .

Compared with the people at the bottom of the Central Plains, the people at the bottom of the nomadic tribes on the grasslands of Northern Xinjiang have an even worse life.

For prairie tribes that follow the law of survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle, the defeated prairie tribe will become the slaves of the victorious prairie tribe.

Even within the same tribe, the people at the lowest level are not essentially different from slaves compared to the upper-level tribal rulers. They also allow the upper-level tribal rulers to take what they want, and they have no control over their own life or death. .

To put it simply, the racial civilization of the grassland tribes who have returned to the grasslands is almost the same as regressing back to tribal slavery.

In the Central Plains, no matter what happens in private, at least the legal system exists on the surface.

Especially during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty under Zhu Yuanzhang, ordinary people were allowed to petition.

If officials cheat in collecting taxes or assigning servants, ordinary people can report it to superior officials, or they can directly send it to them.

Not only that, superior officials who should have received interviews but failed to do so must also be punished in accordance with the law.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang also set up a "grievance drum" outside the Meridian Gate. If the people had grievances and could not seek justice at the local level, they could go to Beijing to beat the drum and complain directly to the emperor. Officials were not allowed to stop him along the way, and offenders would be executed!

Generally speaking, if there is a conflict between the people at the bottom and the officials, and the people go to Beijing to complain to the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang will be there.

Don't say that the people are justified, even if the people are not justified, Zhu Yuanzhang, who is inherently malicious towards officials, will always favor the people!

Under such circumstances, it is definitely better for the people of the nomadic tribes in the northern Xinjiang grasslands to live under Zhu Yuanzhang's rule than to live under the Shangkangjingxia of the nomadic tribes.

Therefore, Yan Changqing does this kind of "human trafficking" without any psychological pressure.

Zhu Yuanzhang below heard Yan Changqing say that he wanted to spend money to buy the nomadic people on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang. His eyes widened and he said in disbelief:

"We have to spend money to buy them?!!"

“Give a woman two thousand dollars?!”

"Even an old boy wants five hundred coins?!"

"Why?!!"

After hearing that he had to spend money, the first thought in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind was why?!

He himself is short of money, and the Ming court is also short of money, but now he actually wants to give money to those nomadic people?!

Oh, no, it's money for the Mongolian people of the Ming Dynasty who brought the nomadic people.

But what difference does it make?!!

At least for Zhu Yuanzhang, there was no difference. They all had to spend the court's money, his money!

So after hearing Yan Changqing's proposal, his second thought was to disagree.

The common people of the Ming Dynasty did not let him spend money like this, but those nomadic people on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang still wanted to spend his money like this?!

There are no doors!

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang stretching his neck and looking unwilling, Yan Changqing knew without even thinking that it was Zhu Yuanzhang's voice problem again.

Speaking of which, he has known Zhu Yuanzhang for several years. In these years, Zhu Yuanzhang either actively or passively followed his suggestions and changed a lot.

But one thing has never changed, that is his stinginess!

As long as he doesn't have to pay for it and it's a good suggestion for Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely obey it.

But if he is asked to pay, then Zhu Yuanzhang will act as if others are trying to rob him of his money.

The first time is that I don’t want to pay, the second time is to see if I can get others to pay, and the third time is to see if there are any other ways.

Only when he really had to pay this money in the end, Zhu Yuanzhang would hesitate and hesitate to pay this money.

[Others always say that the richer you are, the less you use money as money. How come it doesn’t take effect when you get to Zhu Yuanzhang?!!]

[Or is it that the annual income of more than 78 million yuan last year is still not much for Zhu Yuanzhang, and he has not developed the character of a "rich man" in Zhu Yuanzhang?!!]

Yan Changqing pinched his eyebrows, then sighed softly, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and explained:

"The current Ming Dynasty cannot completely wipe out the remnant tribes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty on the northern Xinjiang grasslands by force, so it is necessary to induce them with benefits!"

"Only by luring them with profit, can the Mongolian people who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty bring the population of the northern grassland tribes to the Ming Dynasty for the sake of profit...

"Similarly, the people of the grassland tribes in northern Xinjiang will not run away from the Ming Dynasty, and they will be willing to invest in the Ming Dynasty and become a part of the Ming Dynasty."

"In the end, it will be possible for the Ming Dynasty to continuously obtain people from the northern grassland tribes who are willing to surrender and join the Ming Dynasty!"

"If the Ming Dynasty can completely wipe out the remaining tribes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty on the northern Xinjiang grasslands by force, then this money can naturally be saved."

"And investing this money is not a loss for Daming."

"For example, if the Ming Dynasty wants to send out 100,000 troops to the northern Xinjiang grasslands to quell the chaos."

"Then just for a northern expedition with a hundred thousand troops, people will eat horses and chew horses, and millions of dollars will have to be spent on all aspects of military supplies!"

"And if the millions of dollars spent on military expenditures are bought and sold to the nomadic people on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang at the price I just said.

"That can almost completely buy out the millions of people from all the grassland tribes in the northern Xinjiang grassland!"

"Secondly, although in the early stage, Ming Dynasty needed to invest 500 to 2 guan of money for each northern Xinjiang citizen it bought, but after obtaining these labor forces, the value created by Ming Dynasty in ten years per capita was less than 2 yuan."

"For example, last year Ming Dynasty hired people from all over the world to build concrete roads.

"Even old people over five or sixty years old, or children over five and under ten years old, they go to help the government shovel sand, push small mud trucks, and smooth the road.

I made hundreds of pennies in a year!"

"And this is the money they earn in their spare time after busy farming. If they do this kind of paid work for the whole year, they can earn five to ten thousand dollars a year.

Money is no object!”

"And this is only the value created in one year. If you include the rest of their lives, the value they can create will be even more."

"For the Ming Dynasty, as long as the nomadic people from the northern Xinjiang grasslands are purchased, they can work and live in the Ming Dynasty for more than half a year."

"Then the value they create through labor and work will be able to repay the capital invested in the early stage of Ming Dynasty!"

"And every value of 3.6 they created after working in Da Ming for half a year is an additional value compared to Da Ming!!!"

"Because the original Ming Dynasty did not have such a labor force to create more value."

"And for the Ming Dynasty, it can now initially develop the Liaodong Plain and the Northern Xinjiang grassland one day earlier. Then the Ming Dynasty will be able to develop from the Liaodong Plain and the Northern Xinjiang grassland one day earlier.

gain profit!"

"If the Liaodong Plain and Northern Xinjiang Grassland could be initially developed one year earlier, then the huge value brought by the initial development one year earlier would be enough to cover

This reflects the early investment made by the Ming Dynasty in the people of the northern Xinjiang grasslands. "

"Does Your Majesty still think it's not worth spending money to visit those people in the grasslands of Northern Xinjiang?!!"

For Yan Changqing, if Ming Dynasty could spend money to buy labor force, it would be a huge profit!

If a young and middle-aged labor force is thrown into any major construction projects, the value created in a year will be more than the original money.

Moreover, a young and middle-aged labor force can basically live for more than ten or decades if there is no disease or disaster.

This means that in the next ten to several decades, this young and middle-aged labor force will be able to create more than ten dollars of value every year.

These values ​​are all values ​​that Ming Dynasty was previously unable to create and obtain due to the lack of labor force. Now it is able to obtain additional labor force in advance by spending a little money.

value.

Such a deal would be a huge profit for Daming!
