Spring plowing has begun.

Now with the arrival of 3,000 herders from Sarykamysh, 5,000 Turkmen farmers, and about 1,500 Khiva craftsmen, Truchin already has more than 8,000 herders and nearly 20,000 farmers (including Kaya

Ten Thousand Armenian Households in Sulla).

The population of about 70,000 is obviously not enough compared to the nearly 3 million population of the Stavropol Territory in later Russia. However, this was the 18th century, the 18th century in the pre-industrial era. Being able to have this kind of power was of great significance to just now.

"Awakening" is already an amazing achievement for Kitard.

In addition to his foresight as a time traveler, his identity as the second-largest figure in the Torgut Khanate, Huntaiji, naturally also contributed a lot.

Otherwise, if he is just an ordinary person in the Torgut tribe, he will just try his luck and wait to die.

For people at this time, having enough food and clothing is their biggest pursuit. Therefore, when spring comes, both those who arrive first and those who arrive later rush to get busy in the fields.

The more than 2,000 newly arrived Turkmen who have paired up with Armenians and Georgians will temporarily put aside their religious prejudices and plant the land with their new wives and children.

Since then, as time has gradually settled, there will inevitably be conflicts due to language, religion, and customs, but at least for now, eating is the first thing.

What's more, since they were all forced to convert to the Changchun Religion, among other things, there is one doctrine of the Changchun Religion that they like.

When discussing the adaptation of the textbook with Turandot, the two of them became red-faced because of the "Part in the Room" in it. As a woman, although she had unfortunately done that, she was obviously disgusted by this kind of thing.

But Kitard insisted on including it in this chapter, and subsequent events confirmed his vision.

The combination of Christian Armenians and Zoroastrian Turkmen is really a dangerous thing. Except when they have to go farming to fill their stomachs, the rest of the time is obviously a time of chaos.

At this time, the chapter "Couple Training Room" becomes a suitable choice.

With these two things as a foundation, they will slowly consume their energy, and over time, they will become a very good couple.

Therefore, when Kitard was patrolling around with his soldiers, he would hear indescribable sounds one after another in the nearby villages at night.

This is what Kitard hopes to see.

Naturally, this article will not be taught by Hundaiji's wife personally, that would be too ridiculous, but there are also "elders" among the Salikamysh people who are good at this.

Unfortunately, almost all New Changchun believers are most interested in this article from the beginning. The most lively time is when couples come together to listen to the lectures in Turkic by the "elder" who is proficient in dual cultivation secrets.

Of course, there are also rumors that Changchunism is a pornographic religion, but if you look at the performance of the Christian priest and Lamaist Gelung, you will understand what "eating and drinking men and women is, and people have great desires."

He still has his own great cause to do. Since God chose him to come here, he is not just here to eat and die, but to work hard. He doesn't have much energy to deal with some nonsense.<

/p>

As for the Salykamysh people, they will not cause any trouble after coming to this pasture land with abundant rainfall and abundant water and grass.

For Kitard, suppressing the number of herders and increasing the number of farmers has always been a hidden plan in his heart, but he has not mentioned it to others.

According to his understanding, if a tribe is too strong or stable, it will definitely breed too many people and livestock, which will cause irreversible damage to the grassland. The experience of later Mongolia illustrates this point well.

.

Even if the herders are retained, he will let people mainly raise sheep that do not damage the grass roots, rather than goats.

There are 8,000 herdsmen households. Even the Torhut tribe is a large tribe, and only the Heshuote and Turbot people are eligible to own it.

To the north of the Caucasus Mountains, to the south of the Manech Lowlands, and on the west coast of the Caspian Sea, in addition to his herdsmen, there are also a large number of Chechens. The Chechens are already the strongest tribe here, but compared with the Salykamyshes

It will be the same at most.

After the collapse of the four great Mongolian khanates, the Salykamysh people were able to maintain their independent beliefs, independent marriages and inheritance, but they were still in the desert steppe, and they couldn't do it without a break.

That is to say, their population is thin, and if they are slightly larger, they are no less powerful than the Turghuts.

Therefore, it is best to let the Salykamyshes keep an eye on the Chechens on one side.

Of course, now that they have come here, the Sarykamysh people will experience a completely different life than before.

Traditional nomadic tribes basically ignore the lives of herders except for taxes, military service, and labor. The nobles' obligation to them is to try to protect them when foreign enemies invade. As for welfare, there is naturally no welfare.

But it's different in Truchin.

When the Sarykamysh people arrived, although they divided pastures into units of a hundred households, they still set up settlements around the centurion's residence.

There are people in the settlements who can treat herders and livestock, there are reserves of grain and grass, there are small markets, and of course there are people who can vaccinate them.

The settlement is not only the residence of the centurion, but also a training center for herders and a disaster relief center.

At this time, in order to win over the Kazakhs, the Russians also took the initiative to pay wages to their nobles, and let their soldiers take on the responsibilities of firefighters and disaster rescuers in towns and villages. In fact, they were slowly changing them.
p>

Such a good method, Chitard is here to use it.

As for the new farmers, they will definitely build villages in units of 100 households, and the regulations are similar to those of herdsmen.

There are also three thousand households of craftsmen. In fact, this is the largest gathering of craftsmen south of the Volga River and north of the Caucasus Mountains.

Kitard now has hundreds of thousands of silver coins in hand. Based on the current staff size, he can meet his needs for three to five years without trade.

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

In addition to the salary of the craftsmen, each household also has five to ten acres of farmland depending on the population. This is what they themselves want, and it also indirectly reduces Kitard's burden.

Kitard allowed them to set up small workshops in their homes, but the results were self-evident.

In the past, there were 1,500 households. Chitard asked 1,000 households to devote themselves to making ordnance, and the other 500 households to make daily equipment. Compared with the output of small workshops, the quality was good and the price was cheap.

There are shops and markets in every village, and farmers have no incentive to buy from craftsmen.

That kind of self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy will only appear when there is an extreme shortage of money.

Thinking of this, Kitard couldn't help but regret that he had given all the gold and silver ingots from the Khiva Khanate to Lash.

Among the craftsmen he moved here, there are still more than a dozen families who specialize in casting gold and silver coins for the Manjit people. At the moment, they can only do something else first.

However, Kitard also knew very well that Lash was a money addict, and if she did not dedicate these treasures to him, he would be even more wary of her in the future.

And just because he is a money addict, he will not take out these gold and silver ingots and use them.

"It's still mine after all"

This is how Kitard comforted himself.

In the desert mine and the gold mine, he also got some Bukhara craftsmen. Unfortunately, he has no gold and silver mines to mine now, so he has to keep them temporarily.

In fact, the best base is Aktobi occupied by Kazakh Xiaoyuzi. There are coal, iron, copper, lead, tin, gold and silver mines there. It is a God-given treasure land. Unfortunately, it is impossible to win it with his current strength.

of.

I have to wait for the opportunity secretly.

His two wives who are less than 18 years old get up with him every day, Abahai goes to school to continue studying, and Turandot goes to Changchun Temple to serve as host. Everything seems very strange.

However, it doesn’t seem too out of the ordinary in Truqin, who is already independent.

There were also more than ten families of shipbuilders who were forced, semi-forced, to obtain the Truqin by him. They were able to build large ships that could sail on the great lakes and salty seas at that time, so they could not be idle like the gold and silver craftsmen.<

/p>

But at this time, Kitard's shipping resources were too limited. The two large rivers, the Kuban River and the Terek River, were in the hands of others. The Kuma River under his control could only be used by small boats, and the west bank of the Caspian Sea was

They are all tidal flats and are not suitable for building a port at all.

But just because he doesn’t have it here doesn’t mean that the Turgut people don’t have it.

About two hundred miles north of the Manech Lowlands, there is a river called the Lagan River that flows into the Caspian Sea. There is also a small town called Lagan at the mouth of the sea.

During the era of the Golden Horde, this was one of the trading strongholds between the Khanate and the Persians. Now it is naturally regarded by the Turguts as the stronghold of the Centurion.

After reporting it to Lash, Kitard was allowed to build ships here.

However, there are no materials suitable for building large ships nearby, and they can only be purchased from the Azerbaijani Khanate in the south and merchants in the Caspian Sea region of Persia.

In fact, there are no materials in the Caucasus Mountains. Unfortunately, without river transportation, it would be too expensive for him to transport the wood to Lagan. Fortunately, he still has some gold and silver coins in his hand. After negotiating the price with a Persian businessman he is familiar with,

, so I bought it from them at a high price.

As for what kind of ship to build, Chitard has already thought about it and drawn the drawings. He is just waiting for the wood to be in place.

At this time, a beech tree with a length of more than ten meters and a diameter of more than 20 centimeters required twenty Bukhara silver coins (about ten taels of silver). Kitard wanted to build a ship with a length of more than 30 meters and a width of six meters.

, a seagoing ship with a height of six meters requires at least 500 pieces of wood like this.

This is five thousand silver coins!

Add in the cost of paint, sails, and iron materials needed for the ship, and the cost is even more staggering.

Fortunately, he still has some money in his hand, which he can use rubies to offset, otherwise he would never dare to think about building a ship.

In fact, at this time, the Caspian Sea coast controlled by the Chechens, Azerbaijanis, and Persians was the most suitable place to build ships. There were a large number of natural harbors there, and they were very close to the Caucasus Mountains. They could easily obtain and transport ship materials.

Port construction.

It is a pity that such places have long been occupied by people, and the powerful Russians also set their sights on these places at first, and once seized these places from the Azerbaijanis and Persians, but later it was just because they wanted to deal with the Ottomans with all their strength

The talent was returned to them.

Lagan Port is only a small port, but it is already the best place that Kitard can think of.

As for the others, the almost inexhaustible reeds in the Manech lowland are used to make paper, and the good clay and limestone in the Truchen area are used to make home-made cement. More than a year ago,

Kitard did it.

In his mind, if he can capture Atyrau, which is currently in the hands of Russia, and Aktobi, which is currently in the hands of Kazakhs, he will have the foundation for refining crude rubber from natural asphalt and launching a large-scale industrial and mining industry.

Only with coarse glue can we have a possible foundation for fast transportation and even the steam engine that is still being brewed. Otherwise, everything is out of the question.

"How long will it take for that day to arrive?"
