Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 4 Reorganization

While the two women were concerned about their lover, Li Wufeng was still stuck in the extremely busy routine work.

It should be said that during this rare period of rest, the situation on the Tengger Grassland has been basically brought under control. They helped the old and the young to drive the herd away and returned to their hometown, preparing for the next season of life.

The taste of living under the fence made these people who have been in peace for a long time, especially those who have never tasted the taste of war on the land, fully realize how beautiful peace is. The defeat of the peoples from the East was unbearable for many people, but when the reality fell on them, they discovered how happy their original life was. War needs to pay a price. Choosing war means choosing bloodshed and sacrifice. But in the hearts of ordinary herdsmen, grazing and inheriting the family are the most important things. Especially in the past, the neighbors who were slaughtered by others showed extraordinary strength, and even began to actively challenge the former victors, and defeated themselves without any suspense, which made the herdsmen living in this area While they were terrified, they also began to have a little fear of their neighbors, especially when even Wulanji was controlled by those Tanghe garrisons.

Fortunately, although Tanghe people were conquerors, they did not have much impact on their lives. If there were any, it can only be said that there were many more Tanghe people who entered this area. is a businessman. Merchants who are inciting three-inch tongues to make money by raising sheep, especially those sheep with particularly long wool, can make a lot of money in a year, wandering around on the grassland with Ulanji as the center, and the number is even more than that of wolves on the grassland. . In spite of the ban, many businessmen even sneaked into the depths of the grassland two hundred miles west of Wulanji to instigate propaganda, calling on the vast number of herdsmen to devote themselves to the activities of raising sheep to make a lot of money, so that the Luobei border patrol army had to Send these merchants gifts to Wulanji and hand them over to the Northwest Garrison.

Wulanji quickly became a new investment hotspot. In fact, as soon as the war ended, many Northwest businessmen came to Wulanji to set up camp and prepare to do a big job. The long-term inertia made these businessmen I am used to the fact that wherever the Northwest Army goes, it will become Lord Li's new territory. Even though Lulong was taken back by the Taiping Rebels, it still returned to Lord Li's hands in the end? The good natural environment here is naturally a treasure land for grazing. Wulan Lake provides abundant drinking water. As long as the herdsmen can be encouraged to give up their past grazing habits and change all of them to raise that kind of long-haired sheep, the rich wool resources can be said to be inexhaustible Even if only a small number of people change, it is enough to support countless wool textile workshops.

Although all the Mote troops withdrew from this land (except Qingchuan Haizi), according to the agreement, a division garrison was still retained in the northwest to maintain influence on this land, while the Luobei army Then they completely withdrew to two hundred miles west of Ulanji, but at this time the Luobei people did not have much military force to deploy here again. The pressure from the Chidi people in the west had already made them burnt out. Only a few border patrols team to prove their existence.

Although this wave of sheep raising has not swept the entire East Tengger Grassland, it has caused quite a stir in the area centered on Wulanji. Many simple herdsmen were moved by the words of the merchants. Their minds became active, thinking that if raising long-wool sheep can get more benefits than raising other sheep such as cattle, horses and meat-based sheep, then of course they would prefer to choose this kind of sheared wool for the first time. An attempt at a primary source of income.

This is a method designed and researched by Xiao Tang, Su Minshun and others painstakingly. Although the Wulanji area is not included in the administrative management of the Northwest for various reasons, the Northwest can take economic control to control it. Gradually integrate this area into the Northwest to facilitate future development, and vigorously encourage the entry of wool textile and leather industries is one means. When the majority of herdsmen found that using wool can obtain greater benefits and gradually adapted to this model, they were actually firmly bound together by the economy dominated by Northwest merchants. For small things, their income will drop sharply. If they want to obtain a stable and rich income, the only way to maintain the current peaceful business environment is to maintain the smooth flow of business routes, and war will become unacceptable.

And the small and medium nobles also welcome this economic form, so that they can no longer pay for the cattle, sheep and horses paid by the herdsmen, but directly collect cash from the herdsmen as tribute, saving the troublesome buying and selling procedures. The nobles of the Tanghe civilization, big and small, who have slowly penetrated into the Tengger Grassland, are more eager to enjoy life in the way of civilized people. Silk, sea pearls, porcelain, glassware, green tea, spices, books, artworks, etc. are all kinds of things. All kinds of luxury goods that seem to be out of reach have also begun to enter the homes of small and medium-sized nobles. Although it is only the beginning, it has a good start after all. The small and medium-sized nobles also look forward to a better life in the future .

According to the annex to the signed treaty, the Northwest Department of Culture, Education and Health established the first Tang-style school in Wulanji, enrolling the noble children of the Luobei people, and also recruiting ordinary Luobei herdsmen who have been recognized for their outstanding contributions to the Northwest. It also caused a sensation among the Luobei people on the East Tengger Grassland. Many Luobei nobles living in the area west of Ulanji even sent their children to this school to study at a distance of thousands of miles. Although this method has been implemented in the Mote people, because the Mote people interact more with the Tanghe people in the southeast and the Xisluo people in the east, the impact on the Tengger grassland is not significant. very big. But the influence of this school in Wulanji is extremely far-reaching. Even many people of insight in the countries of the Western Continent believe that this is a heavy blow to the Lania civilization by the Tanghe civilization in order to compete for the influence of the mainland civilization. While they were still worrying about the Chidi people's annual invasion, the Tanghe Empire had already taken a solid step on the Tengger Grassland across the three continents. Masters of the River Empire is not exactly an affiliation.

Under Xiao Tang's instruction, the Northwest Internal Affairs Department even sent some staff to Wulanji to help the Luobei people's management organization establish a public security department and trial institution similar to the Huahuaji police station and court, to be in charge of The daily social security and civil and commercial disputes in Wulanji and surrounding areas are actually equivalent to a replica of the Mote people, but in name this land still belongs to the Luobei people, and these management agencies are also managed by the Luobei people themselves. However, they all received simple training from colleagues in Northwest China before taking up their posts.

If the Luobei people's conquest of the east, centered on Wulanji, still kept a fig leaf on the surface, then the Tubu people have thoroughly reformed their internal affairs, completely imitating the internal affairs of the Mote people Although the aristocratic council is entirely composed of pro-northwest nobles, Wufeng still limits the deliberative power of these nobles. Even if the internal affairs of the Tubu people have been passed by the noble council, they still need to be reported to the Northwest Administrative Office for filing. The Northwest Administrative Bureau may order it to renegotiate if it deems something inappropriate. As for the economic structure, the policy of encouraging the development of sheep breeding has also been adopted. However, in order to maintain a sufficient supply of horses for the Northwest military, the Northwest Administration and the Northwest War Preparations jointly issued a request to the Mote and Tubu people, requiring them to Through administrative means, it is guaranteed that there will be no less than 30,000 military horses in stock every year, so as to supply the military's needs at any time. Of course, the Northwest Military will also guarantee a certain number of military horses every year~IndoMTL.com~ in Anton Tengger At the same time as the grassland ministries, Wufeng also began to clean up the interior of the prefectures actually controlled by him in the northwest and the adjacent Kansai Heshuo. A large number of corrupt officials were sacked under the forceful means of the new director of the Supervision Office, Mi Feng. In order to strengthen the Supervising Office, which has been performing poorly, Wufeng specially appointed Mi Feng, who had done a good job as the Northwest Military Judiciary Director, to take up this post concurrently. It has effectively suppressed the rise of factional forces brought about by the expansion of the Northwest Army, and also made the military discipline problem that accompanies the rapid expansion of the army get a severe purge. Many officers even wrote a letter to punish In the name of severe law, cruelty, torture, and torture, Mi Feng was directly sued to Wufeng, but Wufeng rejected them all in the name of independent execution of official duties by the Military Law Division. So far, he would rather starve to death than eat rice (Mifeng), this sentence The motto spread like wildfire in the Northwest Army.

And Mi Feng's position as the director of the Northwest Supervision Bureau also brought a "wolf is coming" whirlwind to the Northwest officialdom, especially Yinchuan, Taixuan, Lulong, Longdong, Xikang and Tianshui six prefectures In order to maintain the stability of the local situation after taking control of the six prefectures, Wufeng did not take large-scale clean-up and replacement actions. Many officials in non-key departments can continue to serve as long as they have no obvious faults. However, no one was spared from Mi Xuanfeng. A large number of officials were quarantined and examined by the supervisory department. Many officials simply resigned and abandoned their posts. Everyone in the Northwest officialdom was in danger. Taking this opportunity, Xiao Tang also took the opportunity to arbitrarily appoint officials with both Chinese and political integrity and ability from the four old Northwest prefectures (Qingyang, Jinzhou, Guide, and Bonan) to the remaining six prefectures to hold various official positions, and the students of Northwest University gradually became The backbone of the administrative agencies at all levels in the Northwest region.
