Chapter 625: Counting the fallen flowers due to sitting for a long time
Gong Gur died, and Timur also avenged Siqin. However, Fan Tong, who was in Khovd City, was definitely not concerned about the grudges on the grassland. He was more concerned about whether he could get the evidence he wanted.
.
At noon, Zhou Zhong sent a telegram that they had captured a lama named Lobsang. After preliminary interrogation, it was found that this man was sent by Jebtsundamba Hutuktu.
In addition, the guy who pretended to be the company commander of the Beihai Navy was also caught. This person's name was Fulu, who belonged to Zhengbai Banner Mongolia. His official identity was the guard military academy of the Beijing Firearms Battalion. Because he had participated in two battles against Beihai Town, he was still there
He had been a prisoner after the "Battle of Fuldan City", so he had some understanding of the daily commands and speaking habits of the Northern Navy.
However, it is a pity that when these two guys were arrested, no written paper letters were found. As a result, Fan Tong would not be able to fall out with Jebzundamba Khutuktu. After all, "catch the thief and catch him"
"Stolen" requires solid evidence.
Two days later, Zhao Xin took Fan Tong, who had finished the handover, to say goodbye to Polya and came to Ulyasutai.
When they followed Liu Sheng to the residence where he and Wu Xiha lived in the former General Office, they saw two little girls with rosy cheeks, one tall and one short, standing in the yard, wearing dark green military uniforms with a smaller size.
, neither wearing a hat, but with a beautiful flower on their head, looking very pretty.
"Pujie? Saihan?"
"...Abu!" Pujie still remembered Zhao Xin. Before her mother passed away, she entrusted her brothers and sisters to this tall man on the spot. From then on, she regarded him as her father. Although it was a year
She hadn't seen him for many years, but she always remembered Zhao Xin's appearance.
Zhao Xin squatted down, leaned over and touched the heads of the two little girls, and said with some excitement: "Hey... they have grown up!"
Even though he has been used to seeing the joys and sorrows of the world over the years, Pujie's "Ab" still made his heart tremble, and a feeling of joy and sorrow suddenly surged into his heart. The small Modun Inn, the dilapidated yurt
, the child he delivered with his own hands, and the woman named Urabada all appeared in front of his eyes at this moment...
At this moment, there was a soft creaking sound, and the door of the main room opened. A beautiful woman with a round face appeared at the door. She was holding a baby in her hand, and there was a little guy who was looking around. She was not a turtle.
Who is Shiha.
Zhao Xin first greeted Wu Xiha with a smile, then looked at the two boys and said, "Which one is Xierchen?"
Wu Xiha chuckled and said, "Are you too busy? Of course it's the little one. This is Batu."
Just as Zhao Xin raised his hand to rub Batu's head, the little guy swung around behind Wu Xiha. He smiled awkwardly, then took Xirchen from Wu Xiha and looked at it carefully.
The child was almost two years old, and he already had the look of Urabada between his eyebrows. Perhaps it was because Zhao Xin personally brought him into the world, but Xierchen didn't cry or fuss in his arms, but just looked at him blankly.
At this time Liu Sheng said: "Come in quickly, it's cold outside."
Everyone entered the room chatting and laughing, and saw a large copper plate placed on the Eight Immortals table in the middle. A copper hot pot was boiling on it, white smoke rose from the heat, and the surrounding areas were filled with piled venison.
, mutton, beef louvers, camel hump slices, tofu, fermented mushrooms, and the most eye-catching thing is a large pot of white and green Chinese cabbage. In addition, there are chopped green onions, coriander, sesame sauce and a large bowl of fragrant rice.
Fried chili oil.
Seeing the three of them in a daze, Liu Sheng said with a smile: "After much thought, it's easier and easier to eat hot pot. But I don't have soybean curd here, only sesame paste and chive flowers that I grind myself."
Fan Tong said: "Da Liu, why do you have hot pot here?"
Liu Sheng said: "Let's ask the blacksmith in the city to make it."
"Where did the copper come from? It couldn't be a cannon shell, right?"
"Nonsense!" Liu Sheng pointed to the copper washbasin by the window in the room and said, "There are several of these in the general's mansion, two of them are enough."
Fan Tong didn't live in the government office in Khovd City, so he suddenly said: "Not bad, not bad. I'll find someone to beat him up when I get back."
Zhao Xin looked at the pot of cabbage and said, "How is the cabbage harvest?"
Liu Shengdao: "We planted one hundred acres. In the first year, the harvest was so-so, with a total of only more than 600,000 catties. Even though it was just this, the herdsmen were very surprised. I asked the logistics department to send five pieces of rice to every household in the city.
The troops depend on it for all their vegetables this winter."
Fan Tong said: "I only planted twenty acres of cabbage there, and a lot of potatoes, radishes and onions."
When Wu Xiha asked everyone to sit down, Liu Sheng opened the lid of the hot pot, added two more pieces of charcoal, and then sat down and said: "The coriander is grown in the three greenhouses built by the logistics department, and the shallots and mushrooms are several
The little guy picked them in the autumn, and asked the cooking team to buy them specially from the herdsmen."
"Okay, I'm living a good life."
After chatting and joking for a while, Wu Xiha took the four children to the West House and opened a table alone. Neither Zhao Xin nor Fan Tong could drink much, but the three of them hadn't seen each other for more than a year, so they still filled up a small glass each.
They touched each other and took a sip. Then the three of them ate while listening to Zhao Xin talk about his experiences in Europe and Southeast Asia.
When he heard Zhao Xin talk about how to sneak attack on the Temple Tower, how Louis XVI was injured by a sword, and what kind of person Robespierre was, Fan Tong's eyes widened behind his spectacles, and Liu Sheng was also shocked by what he heard.
The three of them ate and chatted for more than two hours. While the orderlies were clearing the table, Zhao Xin went to the west room to check on the four children. When he came back, he whispered to Liu Sheng: "Da Liu, wait until the spring warms up and send someone."
Send their siblings to Beihai Town. Pujie is almost 11 years old, and Saihan is 7 years old."
In fact, last summer, Zhao Xin planned to send people to send the four children back to Beihai Town, but Wu Xiha did not agree because Xierchen was too young.
Liu Sheng had a look of reluctance. He and his wife had taken care of the four children for more than a year and had feelings for each other. However, he also knew that the troops would have to leave after staying in Uliasutai for at most one year, and the four children would always follow.
It wasn’t a big deal, so I nodded…
Two days later, Zhao Xin, Liu Sheng and Fan Tong arrived at Kulun City at night. Liu Zheng, who had been notified in advance, led a guard battalion to strictly guard a one kilometer radius of the planned location.
After getting on the carriage, Zhao Xin smiled and asked Liu Zheng: "Governor Liu, how have you experienced this year?"
Liu Zheng pointed at the other person's nose and said: "Boss Zhao, you really screwed me up. As for the Governor, I'm almost becoming the aunt of the neighborhood committee!"
"What about Su Luk?"
"No! Giving one more sheep is like cutting their flesh with a knife. Just negotiating the salary lasted for several months."
Zhao Xin nodded and said, "Is the ranch publicly owned?"
Liu Zheng said: "It's okay for the princes and big herdsmen of each banner. After all, they were scared to death when the Tula River was conquered by mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Besides, opening up the pastures of Lama Banner is also good for them, so no one
I object. But the lamas in Kulun City are a bit troublesome, and I’m still thinking of a solution.”
Zhao Xin snorted and said with a serious face: "Just tell me what I said later. The best pastures in the entire Tuxie Tuhan tribe have been occupied by them, especially Kubusugul Lake and Qingning
The area around the temple must be open to other herdsmen. There is no need to discuss this matter! Moreover, Lama Banner, like other Zasak, must practice New Suluk. Do you want me to come forward and help you shake up the place? "
"No, no, no. Didn't you, Boss Zhao, scare the shit out of them when you showed up?"
The "Suluk" they mentioned is a pastoral tenancy system that originated in the Monan area during the Ming Dynasty. As early as Dayan Khan's reign, he abolished all descendants of the Yuan Dynasty's lords with different surnames among the 60,000 households in the East.
The privileges of the feudal lords changed the situation since Genghis Khan that the two lords of the same surname and the heroes of different surnames coexisted. Although the feudal privileges of the heroes with different surnames were revoked, because of their rich family wealth, they suddenly became the new great herdsmen. Because the subjects of their lords were gone.
, they loaned part of their livestock to lower-class herdsmen for grazing and gave them a certain amount of compensation.
By the Qing Dynasty, the Suluke system had been widely implemented in Monan and Mobei. According to the agreement reached with the herd owner, the herdsmen regularly paid a certain number of breeding animals, as well as some meat, dairy products and butter to the herd owner.
The owner allowed the herdsmen to eat the milk they produced, cut and sell the down, and paid annual compensation.
Since the Northern Navy captured the city of Khovd, it was clear that the entire Mobei Mongolia had broken away from the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Subsequently, the first decree jointly issued by Zhao Xinrang Kulun, Ulyasutai and Khovd was to abolish the
The feudal privileges of the Taiji and Lama banners of the princes of Zasak.
Just like the Dayan Khan era, the abolition of feudal privileges does not mean the elimination of feudalism. A large number of slaves and subjects became free people, and the policy of integrating soldiers and peasants was cancelled. But the problem is that except for a few who joined the Northern Navy, everyone else had to eat.
life; then the loose personal dependence relationship replaced the previous personal control, and the princes, nobles and lamas became the great herdsmen - that is, the Suruk masters, and the slaves became the Suruke households.
After Liu Zheng took office last year, he first quietly visited the leading figures in Kulun City, and then asked Prince Taiji of each Zasak Banner to come to Kulun City to summon them respectively. He knew the personalities and characteristics of these people very well.
Then he formed a work team and went to the gathering points of various flags.
He sternly warned the work teams that pastoral areas are different from farming areas, and the previous practice of "beating local tyrants and dividing livestock" in some areas will not work. What Beihai Town needs to do is not to completely overthrow the Suluk system, but to
Transform the original system of exploitation.
You must know that Governor Liu is a veterinarian and has been in charge of raising military horses and livestock for more than two years in Beihai Town. He is very familiar with the principles. He understands that he really needs to divide the livestock of the big herdsman and practice egalitarianism.
, on the contrary, it will affect the reproduction of livestock due to grazing in groups, leading to a decline in the number of livestock.
Of course, for those flag owners and large herdsmen who are stubbornly resisting and committing heinous crimes, as long as they obtain the approval of the military control committees of the three regions, their livestock will still be confiscated and handled by the military control committees. Others will not be separated without fighting.
To transform the Suluk system, the first thing to do is how to benefit both the herdsmen and the herdsmen and reduce exploitation. Liu Zheng learned from the practices of another time and space in history. He asked the work team to discuss with the big herdsmen of each banner to release "
The period of "Suluk" is generally three years. During this period, it cannot be taken back or released unless there are special circumstances. It also stipulates that a contract should be signed by the herd owner, the herder and the guarantor, and submitted to the local Military Control Commission or work team for filing.
.
Take the Suluke sheep herding as an example. Originally, the herdsmen had to take 60% to 70% of the calves and wool sheared from the Suluke sheep, leaving the herdsmen to make ends meet.
After the coordination of Beihai Town, every 100 ewes will hand over 50 lambs to the herdsmen every year, and the remaining lambs, wool and dairy products will all belong to the "Suluk" herdsmen; in addition, if every 100 ewes only bring 50 lambs,
If there is only Jie sheep, the "Suluk" household will only get wool and no wages.
You must know that Mongolian herdsmen in the 18th century used wool felting technology. This was a kind of felt that was not degreased and was only made by beating the wool, spreading, stacking, rolling and other processes.
Necessities in the life of herdsmen. Ordinary felt can be used for the felt walls of yurts or to make clothes and shoes, while high-quality felt made of long pile can be used to weave carpets.
In terms of compensation and relief, it is stipulated that in addition to losses due to force majeure infectious diseases, snowstorms, and wolf disasters, the "Suluk" household will be responsible for compensation when other losses occur due to improper grazing of livestock.
In addition, Liu Zheng also personally formulated the specific "Suluke" standards for herding horses and cattle.
Such a series of measures have greatly improved the lives of the middle and lower class herdsmen, especially the poor herdsmen, and provided them with all kinds of female and breeding animals necessary for the development of animal husbandry. At the same time, the herders have also benefited, although not as much as in the past.
A lot, but it finally dispelled the North Navy's concerns about dividing their family property.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Half a year later, when the new Suluk system was fully rolled out in all Zasak banners of the Tushetu Khan tribe, Liu Zheng issued an order from the Governor's Office in the form of a decree.
Implement it fully throughout Khalkha.
Then there is the Beihai Trading Company in Kyaktu, which sells high-quality and low-priced brick tea and other daily necessities to various Zasak banners through a few Shanxi merchants who have not left. In addition to salt and tea, the most popular ones are all kinds of tea.
Large and small aluminum pots, kitchen knives, needlework, wool shears and... Liu Zheng hated the Shanxi merchants' practice of exchanging one pottery pot for two sheep. It seemed quite smart, but the herdsmen would wake up sooner or later;
Even if I don’t say it, I feel in my heart that the Han people are just too much of a thieves.
Even though it has only been a year, the number of livestock in the entire Tuxie Tuhan tribe, except for the Lama Banner of Qingning Temple, has increased by 20%. Among them, the fastest growing ones are the Zhong Banner closest to Kulun, the right wing Youmo Banner and the
For the middle right and last flag, the number of heads increases by as much as 25%.
Liu Zheng told Zhao Xin that his next goal is to deal with the tens of thousands of acres of cultivated land owned by Jebtsundamba Hutuktu in Qingning Temple in order to limit the size of Jebtsundamba's territory.
"By the way, how did you go about uniting the weak great lamas that I asked you to do?"
The "weak great lamas" that Zhao Xin refers to are actually Dilrupa Hutuktu and Nalu Panchen Hutuktu among the six lama banners of Khalkha. Both of these two Hutuktu originated from India.
, because the latter is the disciple of the former, so the two share a territory. However, because the territory is not large and the number of households is very small, it is the poorest among the six lama banners.
"Before winter, I asked Da Liu to buy a thousand sheep and a hundred camels and send them over. This surprised Shang Zhuo Teba, and even sent someone to give gifts to Da Liu and me.
, wrote a letter of thanks. I only kept one or two gifts, and asked them to take the rest back."
Zhao Xin nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. His brothers were so good at what they did. What else could he say besides being pleased?
Hey, I really know people well and make good use of them...
