When King Jianning entered Gaochang City, he did the same thing as he did in Tingzhou City. While appeasing surrendered veterans like Li Xiuzhang, he also promoted the player's forces into the Xizhou Governor's Mansion to actually control Xizhou.
This time, the case of Dong Chong's rebellion completely silenced the forces opposed to King Jianning in Xizhou City. You must know that the Donghou Mansion is a prominent family in Gaochang, and the families who are related to him are all over Xizhou. This time, King Jianning
Virtue, there are no large prisons, but if any family disobeys and is implicated in a rebellion case, it will be the destruction of the whole family!
After King Jianning arrived in Gaochang City, he first issued two decrees.
The first was to abolish the privilege of the old nobles of Gaochang to keep slaves. This did not mean to abolish the slavery system at once, but it stipulated that the old nobles of Gaochang, like the people of the Tang Dynasty, could only need officially recognized slaves.
The Tang Dynasty officially recognized slaves, which were so-called official slaves. Some of these official slaves came from conquered areas, and some were family members of criminals implicated in crimes. These were all registered slaves and could be bought and sold.
However, in the early Tang Dynasty, it was extremely hard for ordinary people to become slaves. Population was the basis of feudal society. When a free citizen became a slave, it meant that the free citizen disappeared from the list of acres taxed by the court. If the court lost control of the population,
Then the imperial court lost its soldiers and sources of tax revenue.
This time, the privilege of the old nobles of Gaochang to keep slaves was abolished, which was much stricter than the previous government policy of redeeming slaves.
However, leaders of the old aristocracy such as Dong Chong were imprisoned for treason. Naturally, the remaining old aristocrats did not dare to resist and could only obediently accept King Jianning's order.
The second order is aimed at Xizhou merchants. Merchants who go north to do business in Mobei will be given a partial tax exemption policy. At the same time, merchants who can purchase horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock from the grasslands can also receive subsidies from the government.
Gaochang is a city with a strong commercial atmosphere. In the old days, Gaochang Kingdom was founded because of its prosperous trade. Gaochang merchants are also somewhat famous in Longyou.
This decree is not only for the common people, but also for players. Many thoughtful players are also planning to open a trading post northward.
However, merchants from Gaochang must first go north to do business in the more friendly Geluolu area. The Geluolu people have just signed a trading station agreement with the Tang Dynasty. The largest trading station will be established in Jinshan, the royal court of the Geluolu people.
near the city.
Gradually control the food in the grassland through trading stations, and use trade differentiation to disintegrate the grassland tribes. This is Jiang Lun's plan to control the grassland proposed to Li Yan by "taking economy as a spear and dividing it to rule".
These two orders made King Jianning warmly supported by the people of Gaochang City. Xizhou, which had always been resistant to Bafu's rule, finally began to integrate into Bafu's jurisdiction.
Players such as Cui Tao couldn't help but sigh. In this era of imperial power, the legitimate influence was indeed huge. King Jianning, who was conferred by the imperial court as a county king, still had huge prestige in the border cities of the Tang Dynasty.
Players also realized that even after being hit by An Lushan's rebellion, the name of the Tang Dynasty was still very loud. Those players who advocated the separatist rule of Longyou also understood that the appeal of imperial orthodoxy among the people was still strong.
That night, Cui Tao was summoned by Li Yan.
"Your Majesty, Cui Tao, comes to see you."
Cui Tao is King Jianning's private minister, so his relationship with him is naturally closer than that of foreign ministers. Li Yan knew that he was a player and did not like the idea of superiority and inferiority, so he asked:
"Now that Xizhou has surrendered, Cui Lang is overqualified to stay here. The lonely king wants to transfer you to Zhangye."
Zhangye?
Cui Tao understood why King Jianning sent him to Zhangye. Yuchi Xin, who was stationed in Zhangye, had complained many times. The civil affairs in Zhangye were complicated and he could no longer support it.
Zhangye is currently the easternmost part of King Jianning's territory. Cui Tao has always advocated expansion to the east. King Jianning wants to realize his ambition.
Cui Tao quickly said: "I obey your order!"
Li Yan changed the topic and asked: "Cui Sima, there are many troubles in Ganzhou now. What will you do after you take office?"
This was political inquiry. Cui Tao understood that this was King Jianning asking him about his policy strategy. Cui Tao immediately said:
"The incident in Ganzhou mainly comes from the chaos caused by the conversion of horses into mulberry. We must restore the horse administration in Ganzhou as soon as possible and solve the land issue in Ganzhou at the same time."
Li Yan nodded. Ganzhou is a Shangzhou with a population far greater than that of other states outside the Great Wall. The land issue is also the most acute.
This is also the reason why these wealthy families are so active when they heard that the four counties in Hexi are going to change horses into mulberry. The land here is too precious.
How to solve the land problem in Ganzhou is the key to stabilizing Ganzhou.
Cui Tao said: "If we want to solve the problem in Ganzhou, we still need to implement the system of Ya soldiers and village chiefs. Please send your Majesty to send Ya soldiers to serve as village chiefs in Ganzhou Township."
"Yes." Li Yan agreed immediately. The player leader system has been successful in Shazhou, Guazhou and Xizhou. Nowadays, there are many players who want to purchase the qualification of the leader, but there are not many vacant places. In the forum
There are a lot of complaints from players online.
Zeng Mu, who was in charge of Suzhou, also proposed to the Bafu that players should be promoted to village chiefs in Suzhou. In this case, the townships in Suzhou and Ganzhou should be reorganized and players should be allowed to serve as village chiefs.
Li Yan asked again: "But if you want to solve the problem of Ganzhou, it can't be solved by growing the teeth. King Gu needs a stable Ganzhou now."
Cui Tao immediately understood what Li Yan meant. Now that the credibility of Hexi Jiedushi Fang Guan had collapsed, even Liangzhou, where Hexi Jiedushi's mansion was located, could no longer control it.
Before the imperial court sent a new Jiedu envoy, if we could control Liangzhou in one fell swoop, it would be equivalent to completely swallowing up Hexi and controlling the access to and from the Central Plains.
For Cui Tao, who has always advocated advancing eastward, "all in Hexi" is an important part of his strategy, so it is natural to capture Liangzhou without delay, and Ganzhou must be stabilized as soon as possible.
Cui Tao came up with his own strategy and said to Li Yan: "Your Highness, if we want to solve the problem in Ganzhou, I think we should start from the racecourse."
"Racecourse? Does the lonely king also want to change the horse into a mulberry?" Li Yan frowned, he was instinctively opposed to changing the horse into a mulberry.
If Ma Zheng is corrupted now for some interests, it will take more effort to restore it in the future.
This is equivalent to selling off the property when you are short of money. When you have money in the future, you will have to spend more money to redeem it.
What's more, horse administration requires long-term accumulation and slow construction. If the horse farm is really converted into farmland, although the land tax will be increased temporarily, it will be difficult to restore it in the future.
Cui Tao said: "I don't want to continue to promote the conversion of horses into mulberries in Ganzhou, but I want to develop animal husbandry in Ganzhou!"
“Livestock farming?”
Cui Tao said: "The horse farms near Zhangye City are all high-quality pastures. These pastures can be used not only to raise horses, but also to raise cattle and sheep."
Cui Tao had actually been preparing for the political planning of developing the four counties in Hexi for a long time. For this purpose, he not only consulted his mentor Fang Guoshou, but also consulted many professionals.
Among them, a senior majoring in animal husbandry at the same school as him proposed a plan to develop animal husbandry to him.
The horse farms in Zhangye are also high-quality pastures. If animal husbandry can be developed in Zhangye, it can effectively boost the economy of Zhangye and solve the social conflicts in Ganzhou.
After all, development is the solution to all social problems.
For this matter, Cui Tao specially spent his contribution points to redeem the qualification for the ninth test for this senior.
This senior named Zheng Zhonghe happily entered the game and was doing odd jobs in Shazhou City, accumulating contribution points to become a lord in Ganzhou and determined to promote the livestock industry in Longyou.
Cui Tao has made up his mind to bring Zheng Zhonghe to Ganzhou to develop Ganzhou's animal husbandry as soon as he takes office in Ganzhou.
Cui Tao took out the plan he had discussed with Zheng Zhonghe and said:
"In fact, today's grassland grazing does not fully utilize the grassland. Moreover, animal husbandry includes not only livestock breeding, but also milk, wool, meat and other products. This is an industry with great potential and can also drive many people.
Get rich."
Zheng Zhonghe studied animal husbandry. After learning about the game Datang Fengyun, he clamored to establish modern animal husbandry in the game.
Animal husbandry is also a very complex subject. Modern animal husbandry includes a series of technologies such as artificial breeding, forage planting, optimization of hybrid breeds, and dairy product manufacturing and processing.
Animal husbandry is also the upstream of many industries such as meat, dairy products, wool textiles, etc. It can be said that it has huge development potential.
Zheng Zhonghe's master's degree is in cross-breeding, specializing in complex breeding of new breeds of dairy cows.
It's a pity that this industry is too complicated now, and the varieties that can be cross-bred have been almost studied. After Zheng Zhonghe graduates, he may work as a researcher in a dairy company, earn a salary of several thousand yuan on the grassland, and live a comfortable life.
See the "happy" life of cattle and sheep when the grass is low.
Entering the game this time gave Zheng Zhonghe a new opportunity. Nowadays, there are many self-media players relying on Datang Fengyun, and many of them have made money.
If Zheng Zhonghe can record videos in the game and open a ranch, he will definitely attract a lot of viewers, not to mention if he can earn contribution points like Cui Tao, he can make a lot of money just by selling test qualifications.
Although Li Yan didn't understand the potential of modern animal husbandry, he was still ready to let Cui Tao try it.
The next day, Cui Tao, the former Sima of the Overlord, pretending to be the military commander of Xizhou, was transferred to Ganzhou.
Li Yan personally gave Cui Tao a battle certificate, which allowed him to appoint and remove all officials in Ganzhou.
Just when King Bafu of Jianning was making every effort to expand eastward, the business group of the Street Lamp Pendant Union finally arrived in Kucha.
