Chapter 356 King of the Golden Mountain who wants to study abroad
"Teacher Fang, slow down, slow down!" Timur shouted as he rode behind Fang Guoshou.
Fang Guoshou's riding skills have already reached the [Proficient Level]. Even though it is raining now, the Uighur horse under his crotch is as nimble as the ae86 on Qiu Ming Mountain. It nimbly bypasses a pond and gallops quickly on the grassland.
superior.
Timur cursed secretly in his heart, you are a history professor, why do you like racing cars so much instead of horse racing!
But there was nothing Timur could do. Fang Guoshou was now the consolation envoy of the Geluolu Affairs Department, the person in charge of the Tang Dynasty in the Geluolu area.
It had just rained on the grassland, and there were muddy puddles on the ground. When racing in such a place, if the horse stumbles, it will be the result of a fall.
Thinking of his own life, Timur drove his horse even more cautiously.
Today he followed Fang Guoshou to inspect Jinshan City, but he didn't expect to encounter such a rain.
They did not bring camping equipment, and the grassland would be more dangerous once night fell, so they had to get to Jinshan City as soon as possible.
Timur's luck was pretty good. He didn't have a traffic accident and entered Jinshan City before dark.
The previous Jinshan City was burned down by the old Khan Geluolu before the Uighurs invaded.
Today's new city was built with the help of Datang.
The whole city is full of Tang Dynasty style.
Mouluoyil inherited the title of his father, King of Jinshan, and also inherited the position of Geluolu Khan.
King Jianning personally wrote to the court, suggesting that the court recognize the status of the new khan who had planned to kill Yil.
Because the Tang Dynasty assisted the Geluolu people in defeating the Uighur army, the Geluolu people also saw the strong fighting power of the Beiting Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty.
Mouluo Yile was quite friendly to the Tang Dynasty.
When he heard that Fang Guoshou and Timur were coming, Mouluoyile directly sent envoys to greet them at the gate of Jinshan City.
Fang Guoshou was suddenly invited to the Khan's house in Muluoyil.
The Geluolu people used to build tents using cow and sheep skins, and this Khan's Mansion was also built according to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty.
"Brother Timur!"
Muluo Yil Khan went out in person to greet Timur, and greeted Fang Guoshou:
"Envoy Fang Xuan!"
Fang Guoshou also returned the gift respectfully, and then said: "King Jinshan, the envoy will leave his post soon. I have recommended Timur to take over as Geluolu's consolation envoy."
Mouluo Yil Khan was surprised. This Tang Dynasty's counselor was very knowledgeable, and Mulu Yil Khan asked him many questions.
No matter what the problem is, this messenger can give the answer and give the best result.
Mouluo Yil Khan had read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and he already regarded Fang Guoshou as his own Zhuge Kongming. Unexpectedly, Fang Guoshou had to say goodbye?
Fang Guoshou said: "King Jinshan will definitely feel relieved when Timur succeeds as the ambassador."
Mulu Il Khan nodded helplessly. During the Battle of Jinshan, he established a friendship with Timur. If Timur was to be the ambassador, it would obviously be a good choice.
Mulu Yil Khan continued: "What about the Xuanwei envoy, Ben Khan went to Shazhou to study abroad?"
Fang Guoshou said helplessly: "King Jinshan is the king of the Geluolu people, so how can he go to Shazhou to study in person? His Highness King Jianning has already said, just ask King Jinshan to send members of the royal family to study in Shazhou."
Sending overseas students to Longyou was also Fang Guoshou's first order after he proposed to assassinate Il Khan.
The clan chiefs of each tribe in Geluolu sent their children to the vocational schools in Shazhou to study Tang culture.
Ge Luolu had a close relationship with the Tang Dynasty, and he had previously sent envoys from the Tang Dynasty to study at the Imperial Academy in Xijing.
There are also many nobles in the clan who are proficient in Chinese.
However, this is the first time that we have sent overseas students on such a large scale.
But the most outrageous thing is that the new Khan, Muluo Il Khan, is also clamoring to go to Shazhou to study abroad.
Fang Guoshou’s final investigation revealed that Yil Khan had to go to Shazhou to study abroad because he was bewitched by Timur!
Before Fang Guoshou left office today, he persuaded Il Khan to give up the idea of studying abroad.
It stands to reason that it would be a good thing for the Tang Dynasty to have Muluo Yil Khan, a Geluolu Khan who admired Chinese culture.
At Fang Guoshou's suggestion, Mulu Yil Khan changed its name to Jinshan Kingdom, and also changed the Khan's title to King of Jinshan.
In addition, Mouluoyile began to carry out reforms in accordance with the Han official system, and accepted Fang Guoshou's suggestion to promote Buddhism in the Geluolu area.
A large number of monks who were suppressed in the Longyou area entered the grassland.
However, Fang Guoshou did not just let these monks preach at will, but established a Buddhist academy outside Jinshan City.
All monks who need to preach in Geluolu must study at a Buddhist college.
After studying for a period of time, you can take the exam at the Buddhist Academy. Only those who pass the exam and are awarded ultimatums to monks can preach on the grassland.
If there are no monks to pay the ultimatum, it is illegal to preach on the grassland. Once discovered, he will be immediately escorted to the Geluolu Affairs Department.
In the Buddhist academy, systematic education is required. Even after graduation, you have to return to the Buddhist academy to take exams every three months before you can continue to preach on the grassland.
This system of paying ultimatums to monks firmly controls the missionary monks.
Another measure of Fang Guoshou is to vigorously develop trade with Jinshan Country.
Today, a huge trade bazaar has been established outside the Beiting Protectorate.
A large influx of salt and tea, which were previously expensive in the Geluolu area, quickly dropped in price, becoming a price acceptable to ordinary herdsmen.
Cloth, oil lamps, silk and other valuable supplies were also quickly entering the homes of the Geluolu nobles.
Fang Guoshou did not adopt the method of cannibalizing the Uighurs, but directly started large-scale dumping.
Anyway, the Geluolu people can't make these things, and the large number of cheap products has almost stunned all the Geluolu people.
A large amount of the wealth they accumulated flowed into the pockets of Tang Dynasty merchants.
It was then that Muluo Yil Khan realized that he had become a pauper.
However, Fang Guoshou did not intend to use trade to defeat the Geluolu people. Immediately afterwards, merchants from the Tang Dynasty poured into the grassland and began to establish long-term cooperation with the ranchers on the grassland.
According to Fang Guoshou's idea, Geluolu could become a dumping ground for Tang Dynasty goods, and the Geluolu people would provide war horses, cattle, sheep, and wool to Datang.
Another new industry has also emerged in the Geluolu area.
Players from the Exploration Department under the Salt and Iron Taxation Bureau of the Dudu Prefecture poured into the Geluolu area like crazy.
The Jinshan Mountain where Geluolu originated is now the Altai Mountains in Central Asia.
This is the junction of China, Russia and Kazakhstan.
The Altai Mountains are undoubtedly a golden mountain!
There are a lot of mineral deposits around the Altai Mountains. It is called the Gold Mountain because there are real gold mines in the mountains.
There are records from the Qing Dynasty that "there were more than ten thousand gold men, more than ten thousand gold was produced, there were ten factories in ten districts, and there were tens of thousands of miners"!
Jinshan is a treasure house!
The players surveyed Jinshan's mineral resources, drew a complete map of Jinshan's mineral resources, and immediately ran to the new area.
Fang Guoshou looked at the entire mineral map, his eyes shining.
You must know that Kazakhstan is still called a country on the mines!
There are many gold veins, gemstone veins and non-ferrous metal veins on this map!
Some of them are even superficial veins, and the ore can be dug out with just simple panning!
This is a well-deserved golden mountain!
At this moment, all the tribes in Geluolu went completely crazy!
They knew there was gold in the mountains, but they didn't know there was so much gold!
At this time, Fang Guoshou asked the advisor Luoyil Khan to summon all the tribal leaders to discuss how to develop Jinshan's mineral deposits.
This time Fang China Life’s plan was unanimously approved.
Each tribe has the right to mine gold mines in its own tribal territory according to the area where it lives.
Datang merchants were responsible for providing mining technology and equipment, and the mined ores were also purchased by Datang.
Fang Guoshou took the opportunity and asked Muluo Yil Khan to conduct a household registration and census, and sent envoys to count the population of each tribe, and asked each tribe to pay taxes to the Jinshan Royal Court on a per-capita basis.
Also because the Jinshan Royal Court did not have the ability to collect taxes for the time being, this task was temporarily handed over to the merchants of the Tang Dynasty.
The discovery of Jinshan gave Geluolu people more spending power. Tang goods were once again dumped on the grasslands, and merchants from the Tang Dynasty brought back a large amount of gold to Longyou.
But the Geluolu people soon discovered a new problem: insufficient manpower.
The mining industry is a labor-intensive industry.
There are only so many young people in Geluolu, and there are simply not enough miners.
The thirst for gold opened the Pandora's box that has appeared countless times in history.
The Geluolu people, who lacked miners, began to take the initiative, plundering surrounding tribes and using them as slaves to dig mines.
The most unlucky people now are the Uighurs and Tuqishi.
The old Uighur Khan had just been defeated, and the Geluolu people were proud and proud, and immediately turned into jackals, tigers and leopards.
They attacked the Uighur tribes on the border, plundered the men from these tribes as slaves, and sent them to the mines of Jinshan to mine ore day and night.
Women and children were rewarded to other people in the tribe according to the rules on the grassland.
Even more miserable than the Uighurs were the Tuqishi people.
The Tuqishi people are a Hu tribe active in southern Geluolu and have considerable influence in the Western Regions.
In the past, the Tuqishi and Geluolu people did not interfere with the wells and rivers.
But now the Geluolu tribe is attacking the Tuqishi people on a large scale, capturing their men as slaves and robbing their women and children.
Players naturally see what the Geluolu people do.
It is naturally impossible for us, the Great Tang Dynasty, to support such a sinful thing as the slave trade!
But we didn’t see it! We Datang merchants just bought the gold from the Geluolu people!
Under the pressure of the Geluolu people, the Tuqishi people had no choice but to submit an internal annexation to the Tang Dynasty.
