Chapter 33 Ahai (Part 2)

 "Swoosh"

A wolf hits a single arrow.

However, Ah Hai's strength was not great after all, and the arrow shot into the wolf's body was not deep. After wailing, it rushed towards Ah Hai regardless of the pain!

But the other two wolves rushed behind Xiaohua!

The rear kick of Mongolian horses is one of their powerful weapons to deal with wild wolves, but the horses are horses after all. When there are wild wolves in front of it, the gods were bitten by the two wolves behind them for a moment!

At this moment, a few wolves rushed out of the fence!

Ah Hai had never seen this situation before. She knew that Xiaohua would not last long, and she couldn't help but feel anxious. She couldn't help but whip Xiaohua hard, hoping that Xiaohua could rush out to get rid of the evil wolf.

But the evil wolf that rushed out took advantage of the little flower's hard to break free from the two wolves behind, and then bit its front legs from the back!

"Swoosh"

As for the evil wolf that was close to the front, Ah Hai hit all the two arrows after passing, but at this time Xiaohua could no longer hold on and fell down with a "punch"!

Before Xiaohua fell, Ah Hai knew that the situation was hopeless. At this time, there were already seven or eight evil wolves around her, a ten-year-old girl. In this case, it was impossible for her to remain calm. After a few arrows, she was almost there.

The evil wolf shot only one.

Ahai couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She pulled out the scimitar left by Abu for her and kept waving it, intending to scare away the evil wolf that was slowly approaching.

But at this time she only knew how to protect her body and completely forgot behind her. As a burst of pain came from the back of her thigh, she fell.

A black wolf, who was standing up taller than her, suddenly bit her neck!

"Eh..."

At this time, Ah Hai completely gave up on resistance. She threw away the scimitar and waited for the last moment to arrive. In an instant, her face that was already blurred in her mind...

"Swish..."

Several roars of arrows that were much sharper than the arrow branches she shot came over, and then the big black wolf, which was mostly a wolf, fell down, and the black wolf that rushed out of the fence fell to the ground one after another!

Ah Hai couldn't believe her eyes. She held back the severe pain and rubbed her eyes. Several people suddenly appeared in front of her.

A wide-brimmed iron hat and a robe with shiny copper nails all over her body, all of whom are eighteen or nineteen years old.

"Shelf..."

Ah Hai was relieved and ran for the middle of the night, and fought with the evil wolf for a while. She had long been unable to hold on and fell into someone's arms.

....

Elista.

Qitad, who was returning from the construction site of Battesk Castle, quickly got news about Ah Hai.

What Ahai met was not the sheriff of the former Taiji stronghold, but instead replaced the former Truqin army's ranger patrolling everywhere. Because Truqin soldiers were injured and retired, most of them were arranged for castles and strongholds.

As a sheriff, Ah Hai thought they were sheriffs.

Since Elista was in the heart of the Turgut grassland, after the situation in various places gradually stabilized, Qitad also moved his base here.

As a herdsman's child, he naturally knew that not everything on the grassland was peaceful and he would take care of the lives of poor herders who were not included in the jurisdiction of Zaisang Mansion.

But the grassland is so big, the shepherds are so many, and a considerable number of herders are still under the jurisdiction of Taiji in the past, so he cannot take care of them one by one.

Khan Mansion.

Opposite Qitade are Su Wenyu and Bao Dunge.

Su Wenyu has now become the actual Dazaisan in the Khanate (the Grand Prime Minister, the Mongolians used the title of Han land), while the nominal Dazaisan, his uncle Bao Dunge, actually only cared about not being included in the Zaisan Mansion.

Managed herdsmen and militia.

"There are many such situations"

He looked at Bao Dunge.

In fact, there were many things like this before the appearance of Qitade on the grassland. In the absence of large-scale wars, because the herdsmen lived too far, what happened at home sometimes took a few months.

Someone found out.

After learning about it, the Taiji people will appropriately reduce taxes and corvee labor for the affected herdsmen (wolf disaster is also a kind of) but it is impossible to be considerate like in later generations, and it is impossible to believe in Buddhism that is kind to others.

Bao Dunge knew that Qitade was a kind-hearted person because he often warned his subordinates to be "outside and inner virtue". The so-called "outside and over" naturally means that when he can, he must speak with strength to the outside world. He must take action when he should take action.

, don't have any hesitation or mercy.

And for internal reasons, great kindness is needed.

"Not much"

Although Bao Dunge is his uncle, he actually fears Qitad more than Lash. Lash is a traditional Khan. In addition to holding the Qiexue army tightly in his hands, he also ensures that the local area belongs to his own.

The taxes were received normally, and all other things were thrown to the Zasangmen.

But Qitade was different. He knew how many herdsmen he had, how many fields, how many livestock he had, and even who the sheriff was in every stronghold was. It was basically impossible to cheat in front of him.

p>

"It was all caused by the smallpox plague six years ago. At that time, the Khanate did not have the technique of vaccination invented by Khan. The mortality rate in pastoral areas was very high. Ahai's parents and brothers died at that time. At that time, the Khan also issued a speech.

Any young and strong men and women in the family who have more than two young men died due to the plague, and only the elderly and the weak are left, they can be exempted from taxes and service.

"But only ordered was issued at that time. I don't know if Taiji's following has executed it."

Qitade couldn't help but frown.

"If Truchen's decree is to be fully implemented, all the herdsmen who remain in the hands of the Taiji people must be taken back to the Khanate, but this will inevitably be opposed by them"

He said: "How many people in the headquarters now have the identity of Taiji?"

"There are no less than 500 people, some of which have hundreds of herdsmen, and most of them have only a dozen households. Their herdsmen need to drive 20% of their livestock to the stronghold every year, and take turns to withdraw people to herd them."

p>

"Yeah," Qitade nodded, "Take fifteen households as an example. If each household raises 100 kinds of livestock, most of them are sheep, and then about ten horses, cows, and camels."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Twenty percent are fourteen sheep, two horses, two cows, two camels, fifteen households are two hundred and ten sheep, thirty cows, and thirty camels"

He looked at Su Wenyu again, "What is the current market price of these things?"

Su Wenyu replied: "Because the large production volume in the pastoral area is not ideal, a sheep only has one silver coin, a cow, and a camel all have ten silver coins"

Qitade nodded, "So the wealth that a Taiji can have every year is only about 800 silver coins, and 500 people are only 400,000..."

I also wanted to use money to redeem the herdsmen from the Taiji people, but the 400,000 silver coins were also a lot of money for him, so I couldn't help but hesitate.

This department is his foundation. If they did not ask, they would obviously not do it. Moreover, when he came to power, most of the herdsmen had handed over.

It's really scratching my head.

After a while, Qitad said, "It's not a big deal for these people to raise them like this. In this way, you take the lead and take out all your herders, how about?"

Bao Dunge looked furious. Although the salary he received from the Khanate every year was enough to make him feel free to eat and wear, the old concept that having herdsmen for thousands of years still deeply influenced him. If all of them were taken out,

Isn't it...

But he also knew that Shiqitade wanted to do nothing so far has proved that he could not do it. If he got angry, he could kill him all. Without them, he would still be able to do it.

Having a large number of herdsmen can't cause any big storm.

So he said, "I'm fine, but others are in trouble."

Qitade naturally knew his thoughts and said, "Don't worry, for those who take out the herdsmen, I will give appropriate compensation according to the number of herdsmen. It is impossible to compensate for 800 silver coins per person, but half of the amount is still given.



"We are now able to make finished rubies ourselves, so we can pay for it with this item. A ruby ​​is worth ten silver coins, and eight hundred silver coins are eighty rubies. Forget it, I'll be more generous"

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something. Since the steam engine appeared, he also used it to process rubies, and used it to cut, polish, polish and carve gems. Although the quality is still not as good as experienced manual ones, it is better.

Can be mass-produced.

If you are not an expert, you can't tell the difference at first glance.

As gold and silver coins in the country have always been in short supply, he consciously asked Elista's rubies to replace gold and silver coins to a certain extent, and also set up shops for gold and silver coins and rubies in major castles.

At present, he still sold the gemstone to Rasim, and the annual trade volume has increased from the original 300,000 silver coins to 500,000.

If you process the remaining ones yourself, the quantity will be much more than that of foreign trade.

But he also knew that once rubies were circulated in large quantities, the price would inevitably be greatly reduced, but it was different for the Taiji people. They were somewhat valuable and would not immediately go to the redemption point to exchange.

Most people will ask someone to use gems on knives and cloaks in private, and they will further process them into treasures that can be passed on to families. If it is in the hands of ordinary people, it will definitely be exchanged for gold and silver coins immediately.

"There is compensation for one hundred rubies per person, and then all of them are included in the government's work. After doing it for a period of time, they will be re-arranged according to their specialties. If they have no ability at all, they will arrange it..."

He originally wanted to put it in the workshop for work, but this step was too big. It is still the eighteenth century. Not only them, but the herdsmen may not recognize it.

"Go to various mines, castle construction sites, road construction sites, river dredging site supervision!"

Bao Dunge nodded. He still recognized this. One hundred rubies were worth ten thousand silver coins, which was enough for them to live for a long time. In addition to the salary paid by the government, they were still nobles of the Khanate.

"However, I am talking about ugly things. Even if I am a supervisor, if I commit crimes, deceive my superiors and subordinates, I will report to me the Truqin army who assisted, the student officials will speak rudely, and even speak harshly, and punch and kick the person who punches and kicks.
