Looking at the data on the table, Lu Ming scratched his head. There were originally more than 5,000 people in the Tru tribe. Now, there are more than 4,500 people who died or were convicted in the rebellion. The entire tribe has 6,000 people. There are many heads, more than 4,000 horses and more than 80,000 sheep.
If it is to be distributed to the herdsmen, naturally the cattle, sheep, and horses cannot be divided equally, which is not good for grazing, breeding, etc., but each household should be given either sheep, horses, or cattle.
How to estimate the value of cows, horses, and sheep? How to calculate the value of lambs, horse calves, calves, etc., and how to calculate the value of babies and half-grown calves waiting to be fed.
Fortunately, the eastern grassland has experience, and the fiscal and taxation officials have worked out a set of formulas that can be used.
However, the eastern grassland is essentially not part of the Ma Quanyou tribe, and it is close to the Zhongzhou people's zone, so communication is more or less convenient. However, on the Chishui Prairie, the problem is much more complicated.
The innovation in Beiping Town is of great significance to solving these problems.
There is also a big problem. Herders used to be based on family units, and there was no such thing as family division. There were usually more than a dozen people in a family.
Now that the means of production are privately owned, the impact on the concept of a big family is obvious, and this will also create new problems.
If adults must separate their families, each household will be allocated fewer and fewer livestock, which is in fact unfavorable from the perspective of animal husbandry.
……
At the same time, a grand ball was being held in the magnificent grand banquet hall of Donghai Tulip Manor, where celebrities gathered.
Lu Ming sat in the corner, thinking about this problem.
After the three scale puppets were completed, it seemed that something was complete. Lu Ming himself and the three puppets could move at the same time.
Of course, if the main focus is on the deity, the three puppets are actually doing the same thing, with one mind and four bodies.
Even now, Lu Ming is thinking about the prairie, but he can change the scene in front of him at any time. He is in the grand banquet hall in the East China Sea, meditating in the yurt of Trubu on the prairie, and still in the mansion of the minister in charge of Gericheng. Thinking, he closed his eyes and meditated in the study of Xiangxi Governor's Mansion.
Same as before, if you cut off the connection with the three puppets, there will be three corpses over there.
Generally speaking, if you and three puppets are doing things at the same time, you will actually be very tired.
I am dealing with one side now, and that side now, and I am really tired of dealing with it, instead of becoming four people who can each do their own things.
So generally speaking, the mind can only be put aside. If the three bodies are not in a resting state, they are just contemplating problems.
I came to Donghai to attend the annual Eastern Alliance Summit. Tonight, the Grand Duke and Princess Christine of Donghai held a grand banquet to entertain the leaders. After the banquet, there was a colorful dance.
Then, my "soul" is naturally here.
But what I was thinking about was the prairie.
In fact, one of the main topics of this summit meeting is the war in the Northern Territory.
In particular, the Ma Quanyou regime and the Chen Xingchang regime had pledged allegiance to the kingdom, but the Montenegro Principality still launched an attack on them.
The eldest prince wrote a letter to the Eastern Alliance Secretariat, expressing his indignation at the actions of the Principality of Montenegro.
So, even if I am in the corner, I still attract whispers.
And this morning's alliance summit meeting has passed a resolution to stop escorting the Pearl Islands.
Obviously, most leaders have begun to worry about the aggressiveness of the Principality of Montenegro.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming shook his head.
In this atmosphere, Lu Ming looked at Governor Michelson of Ayton State who came over and sat next to him, and couldn't help but smile: "You'd better stay away from me, an increasingly unruly dictator. It seems that more than half of the alliance members are ready to expel the Principality of Montenegro from the alliance?"
The largest production and R&D base of Sanmai Group is in Ayton State, which is the Roseville District.
Over the years, Lu Ming and Michelson have had a close relationship.
Moreover, Ayton State is about to face a general election, and Lu Ming is fully supporting Michelson in dealing with the strong challenge from candidate Li Hanchao.
Ayton State is located in the northern part of the East China Sea. It is a traditional area inhabited by Middle-earth people. In the past, gubernatorial candidates rarely nominated Middle-earth people. But now the situation is different. A strong competitor has long appeared in Michelson, the Justice Party. Li Hanchao, the leader of Ayton State.
Although because Westerners have more experience in running elections and due to inertia, Michelson defeated Li Hanchao in the last election.
But with the decline of the empire, Li Hanchao's election platform began to focus on the theory of Central Continental origin, and vigorously promoted the topic of the Central Continental Autonomous Prefecture, and the governor should be a Central Continental person. This also aroused the resonance of many Central Continental people.
In current polls, Li Hanchao is in a slight lead.
However, Li Hanchao is very radical, and his campaign strategy is to manipulate ethnic antagonisms. He also labels everything done by his previous term as wrong, including the Roseville project introduced by Michelson. Li Hanchao also wants to eliminate it quickly.
At this time, Lu Ming looked at Michelson, who had white hair on his temples, and said with a smile, "We both seem to be having a lot of troubles now."
Michelson shook his head, "Your Highness, you have nothing to worry about. To expel the Principality of Montenegro, apart from you not having the right to vote, all members need to agree to it. How difficult is it for you to get one vote of support?" Even if I fail in the election at the end of the year, without my vote, you can still win over other allies, and..." Then he coughed and stopped talking.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Then do you think it feels good for me, a dictator in their eyes, to be in the alliance all the time?" He then asked, "You haven't finished speaking, what do you want to say? Do we still need to cover up?"
Michaelson smiled meaningfully: "What I want to say is that even if the unanimous vote wants to expel you, I think the Grand Duke will not hesitate to use his veto power!"
Legal speaking, as the "guardian" of the East China Sea Alliance, Archduke Charles IX does have the final approval authority for alliance resolutions.
Although, this is just a process, a fictitious power, and no one thinks that the East China Sea Grand Guild will veto the resolution that has been successfully passed by the alliance.
But if he really uses his veto power, the resolution will really not take effect.
Glancing at Michelson, Lu Ming frowned.
After the resolution to **** the Pearl Island was passed, most of the heads of the members have discovered that whether it is the lobbyists lobbying them or the exchange of interests among the members who voted in favor, there seems to be something behind it. It is the operation of Christine Public Reserve.
When Prince Montenegro was still a lawyer, there were rumors of an affair with Princess Christine.
Nowadays, there are suddenly more such rumors. Of course, they are only limited to the upper class society.
Seeing Lu Ming's expression, Michelson hurriedly said: "I'm just kidding, my old friend, you're not really angry, are you?"
Lu Ming picked up the tea cup and tasted tea.
Michelson smiled bitterly: "It is impossible in the first place. Don't I know you? Now you have launched various preferential investment policies in the Northern Territory, but they have attracted the attention of many big capitals. Many of them are The funder has become your most powerful lobbying group, so let me tell you, you have nothing to worry about. You are not worried about this matter. You have other worries, right?"
Lu Ming glanced at him. This guy's political sense was really too strong.
If it weren’t for the fact that the Central Europeans in Ayton State accounted for more than 90% of the population, and people were playing the racial card, it would have happened at the time when the civil war in the empire broke out and the thinking was chaotic.
Then it is impossible for Michelson to lose the Ayton state that he has worked hard for many years since he was a member of the House of Representatives.
Shaking his head, Lu Ming said: "I was thinking about the prairie. I am rescuing the slaves there and distributing the property of the slave owners to them. However, the grazing model of such a large family will inevitably collapse, and it seems that it will kill the pastoral industry there. , the life of herdsmen is definitely much better than before, but the number of cattle and sheep will probably shrink. Of course, I am talking about excluding the advantages brought by new technologies, such as the impact of new feeds and various anti-disease injections on animal husbandry. , these can certainly make up for the damage caused by changes in the social organizational structure of herders.”
Michelson smiled and said: "Just maintain the big family for the time being. The development of science and technology and the progress of the times must be gradual. In fact, I am also very concerned about what you are doing in the northern grassland. As a herdsman on the grassland, you can establish a kind of The system that is conducive to the fetters of large families makes it difficult for them to separate families for the time being. This is also beneficial to the stability of the prairie people. Their current thinking mode, if you really have to do it all at once and divide into small families, I think it will cause problems. Huge chaos."
Lu Ming nodded silently: "I thought so too."
Michaelson looked at him and suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Speaking of which, I mentioned that the Grand Guild fully supports you, why are you so sensitive? I was just joking, who can really think that you and... then what? Yes, but judging from your reaction just now, this..."
The two of them are very familiar with each other. Except for a few polite words like "His Royal Highness" at the beginning, the conversation became more lively, just like before, without so many taboos.
Lu Ming was stunned by Michelson's question. Indeed, he overreacted.
Actually, there are rumors among the upper class, but there are probably not many people who really believe that Christine is interested in him, just as a side note.
In the eyes of outsiders, Her Royal Highness the Princess is certainly the pearl of the empire, but she is too young to help herself, and presumably because neither the eldest prince nor the second prince can tolerate her, she has no choice but to seek refuge in the poor and barbaric Northern Territory.
It was also a kind of expulsion by the eldest prince, forcing her to marry to the Northern Territory, which would not have any impact on the power structure of the imperial capital.
And what kind of status and arrogance does Christine have? If you want to choose a lover or get married, the nobles of the imperial capital can queue up for several kilometers.
How could you choose a dictator from a barbaric land in the north?
The rumors in the upper class mostly come from those talkative women who belittle Christine out of envy and jealousy.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming sighed, he still has to work hard. One day, he will announce to the whole world that Christine is his lover. It will not dwarf Christine's personality, but will make those who The long-tongued women's eyes turned blue with envy. At that time, I was considered complete.
However, there seems to be only one such location.
Lu Ming stood up and came to the floor-to-ceiling glass window, looking in the direction of the Southwest Imperial Capital.
In the night, the splendid and dazzling Tulip Manor reflects the Xishan Crown Church. It is the lighting ceremony hosted by the archbishop once a month. At this time, the light is great, and the sudden scene is like the golden crown of the emperor suddenly flashing, brilliant The brilliance, the dazzling burning sensation, will burn all the moths that fly towards it with ambition.
Thousands of years ago, Queen Alice was crowned Emperor of the Empire here.
Lu Ming looked from a distance and didn't move for a long time.
