Chapter 333 Get used to it

Long before Zhu Youxiao came to Zhangjiakou, he had asked the Minister of Personnel Cui Chengxiu and the Minister of Rites Qian Qianyi to jointly prepare for the vacancies for the new prefectures and county officials.

To this end, after occupying the vast territory of Mongolia in southern deserts, such as the Kharkha tribe and other parts of the southern deserts, Zhu Youxiao immediately ordered Yang Tinglin, the assistant general of the Fourth Army, to temporarily serve as the governor of the southern deserts. At the same time, the Third Cavalry Brigade would be stationed in Yingchang City of the Korchin tribe in southern deserts, and the brigade general Liu Shiyu was the commander-in-chief of the southern deserts to play a deterrent role in force.

After Yang Tinglin was appointed as the governor of Mo Nan, he declared the end of military control in the southern part of Mo Nan, and represented that Mo Nan Mongolia officially became a political and envoy of the Ming Dynasty.

Before the Imperial Guard withdraws, administrative divisions are immediately carried out to establish the division of specific prefectures, prefectures and counties.

The Ministry of Personnel immediately joined hands with the Ministry of Rites to assess the alternate officials' tributes, and selected qualified officials to serve as official seal officials of various prefectures, prefectures, counties, and the Censorate Department, Censorate Department and the academic and political system.

In particular, the establishment of academies and appointing a large number of Confucian scholars as teaching positions to impart Confucian knowledge of ordinary Mongolian herdsmen and let them learn Han culture to achieve the goal of education is the most urgent task.

For a time, countless scholars who had been waiting for the Ministry of Personnel for several years but were unable to get the chance to be elected officials, were suddenly promoted to prefects or even fourth-rank prefects. However, when they learned that they were going to the south of the desert to become the parents of Mongolian herders, they were all reluctant and even refused the appointment of the court on the grounds of being sick. Zhu Youxiao simply took this opportunity to directly remove his fame and reputation.

In desperation, a large number of scholars and scholars had to come outside the pass to become officials. However, in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of these scholars, Zhu Youxiao also issued some encouragement policies. For example, if you work outside the pass for three years, you will be promoted one level higher than the officials at the same level when you are promoted. The salary is also three times that of officials at the same level in the pass, and those with outstanding talents can be given priority in the future.

This has attracted many aspiring people to come to the Ministry of Personnel to apply for a job in Monan and Liaodong.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao also encouraged middle and lower-level officials, especially the two officials in the prefecture, such as the procuratorial officials, and the county magistrate, to report to the Ministry of Personnel, and requested to be transferred to the southern Mo and Liaodong as the chief seal officer.

In addition, Tong Sheng is also encouraged to report to the Ministry of Personnel, and some teachers, professors, county magistrates, clerks, and other officials can be held by Tong Sheng.

Anyway, the Ming Dynasty did not lack the number of officials who wanted to be an official. Gao Hongjiang was a student in the 42nd year of Wanli. Later, he failed the Zhejiang provincial examination many times. Now he is fortunate to be appointed as the governor of Xilin Gol Prefecture because the Ministry of Personnel urgently needs to elect a large number of officials to serve as county officials in Monan Prefecture. He was also appointed as the governor of Xilin Gol Prefecture, Korqin Prefecture.

Although it is just one state, it is larger than several prefectures in the pass. Gao Hongjiang wore in indigo blue fifth-rank official uniform, white-backed cloud-patterned boots, black hats, and rode on the colored horse. It took several days before he arrived at his Xilingol Prefecture.

But when he arrived, he realized that although this state was large, there was no decent city. There was only a wooden village built by the Imperial Guard during the temporary military control of the Imperial Guard. There were several simple sheds, which were the yamen.

There are even fewer people under their rule, and it is difficult to see a few people within a hundred miles, and the distribution is very scattered.

Gao Hongjiang's father was a magistrate of a certain prefecture in Huguang, so he also knew the responsibilities of some local officials. Therefore, as soon as he took office, he began to convene the magistrates under his jurisdiction in accordance with the requirements of the court, prepare to count the number of household registrations and pasture land in the whole prefecture, and prepare to conduct land division and contract according to other divided places.

However, Gao Hongjiang now has only three counties in Xilingol Prefecture. In addition to Xilingol County, there are two counties, Sunit and Wuzhu. But now there are only two counties, Sunit and Wuzhu, which means that Gao Hongjiang, his magistrate, has to take charge of Xilingol.

Gao Hongjiang had to do it himself. He hired an old Mongolian man who knew Chinese as an aide at the cost of ten silver dollars per month to assist in his work.

Then, I started my own administrative work.

It took him almost half a month to gather the herdsmen in Xilingol, register and register, and then complete the household registration. It then took another month to count the pastures in this state according to their advantages and disadvantages.

It was not until another half month later that more than 3,000 herdsmen's families in Xilingol Prefecture distributed pasture land, the number of sheep and horses, and even iron tools according to the amount of Dingkou.

Zamuhar was originally a serf from a tribe of the Korchin tribe. In his consciousness, everything here, including himself, was also a tribal leader. However, he did not expect that today, the Han official named Gao's parents (people call the county magistrate the parents) personally gave him three hundred acres of grassland, and also distributed it to ten rams and thirteen ewes, two little lambs, three mares, two stallions and an old horse. These are all the wealth of his family of eight, and others have no right to take it away. If anyone dares to plunder, he can go to the prefectural yamen to sue it.

Zamuhar was very excited to have his own things and looked forward to his future life. He was confident that in the future, he would give his family dozens of sheep and dozens of horses.

Although he had to pay a certain tax to the Ming court every year, it was not high, so Zamuhar did not resist because of this. Instead, he was sincerely grateful to His Majesty the current Ming Emperor like other serfs.

By liberating the serfs under the means of production controlled by feudal lords, the enthusiasm of the herdsmen has greatly improved. The herdsmen in Mongolian in the southern desert have forgotten to plunder, but have diligently raised their own sheep and horse herds. In order to feed the sheep and horses more full, some are still grazing in the evening.

Even at night, they don’t have a break, because now all prefectures and counties are recruiting craftsmen to carry out city construction and government office construction projects, which requires a large number of migrant workers, which gives these herdsmen an opportunity to earn extra money.

After just one year and a half, dozens of cities and official roads suddenly appeared in the entire south of the Mo River, and the lives of herders began to change. Some wealthy families also began to move into the city to build their own pink walls and black tiles.

The effectiveness of education has also begun. If you go to Monan to do business and enter a newly built new city to rest, you can see the school in the city and hear the round-faced Mongolian children chanting the Three-character scripture in the classroom in front of the statue of Confucius.

But in addition to being taught Confucian classics, they also have a must-learn political class and historical geography course, which is to learn how great His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is today and why he represents immortality.

The historical geography course is to learn the vastness and greatness of the Ming Dynasty's territory, as well as its great achievements in history, such as the beauty of Jiangnan, the majesty of the Yellow River, the majesty of Mount Tai, the vastness of the East China Sea, the legend of Emperor Taizu Gao's common clothes, and the glory of the Chinese nation for five thousand years, which have all begun to be instilled into the minds of these children bit by bit.

In addition, the imperial court encouraged children under ten years old to change their surnames and take their names. As long as there is a child from a family who changes their surnames and takes their Han people, they can be exempted by 10% of their taxes.

Since we can get benefits, for ordinary herders, these sugar-coated cultural invasions did not arouse their alertness, and they could not resist the temptation of such interests.

Wang, Li, Liu and others were simple, easy to recognize, easy to remember and most well-known to the people of the grassland. For a time, these families of big surnames sprung up like mushrooms after a rain on the grassland.

Although countless serfs were liberated from the tribal feudal lords and made them the people of the Ming Dynasty to achieve the purpose of the Ming Dynasty's ruling system being completely established in the southern desert to prevent the occupation of these places by the Rakshasa Kingdom, due to the vastness and vast land and sparse population of Mongolia in the southern desert, many places were still not truly included in the ruling system.

To this end, Zhu Youxiao had to encourage mainland people to immigrate outside the pass, and encourage people to go to the west entrance and go to the east. For this reason, Zhu Youxiao also directly stipulated that as long as he was willing to immigrate outside the pass or occupied the newly occupied Mongolian area, he could reclaim any land. No matter how many, the court recognized his private property and would not pay taxes for three years.

In addition, the Mo Nancheng Announcement Department of Political Envoys and the newly established Liaodong Cheng Announcement Department of Political Envoys will have quotas for the examination, which will attract some traditional families who have passed down their families to settle outside the Frontier, and realize the ideal of glorious family and honoring their ancestors because the competition for the imperial examination in the Frontier is small.

...

More than a dozen wolves were released. The soldiers of the Imperial Guard were wet in heavy rain and unceremoniously moved the strike springs and shot iron bombs at the wolves that were targets.

The continuous and intensive shooting was exhausted by the wolves, and eventually they all died in the fields outside Zhangjiakou City. The smoke that filled the heavy rain never dissipated.

This scene made Lin Danhan shocked him. He didn't expect that these firearms of the Imperial Guards could really fight in rainy days. He couldn't help but think that no wonder the Imperial Guards could resist Jiannu's attack on the capital. Now it seems that it is not just because of luck.

"King Shunyi, how about my Apocalypse Flintstone in the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but ask Lin Danhan with a smile.

Lin Danhan smiled awkwardly: "It is the best firearm I have ever seen. I didn't expect it to be afraid of rainy days and can be connected, but its structure seems to be different from a bird gun, without a fuse."

"I don't know the specific principle, I only know that Jiannu also values ​​this kind of firearms, and even took out one million silver dollars to buy a batch of such firearms from our Ming Dynasty, so that he would dominate the grassland in the future." Zhu Youxiao was not in a hurry to ask Lin Danhan if he was interested in purchasing weapons eliminated by his Imperial Guards. He just missed the guise that Jiannu also wanted to buy his own arms, so as to lure Lin Danhan to buy his own arms.

Lin Danhan was shocked after hearing this and asked hurriedly: "No, Your Majesty Emperor, aren't you just going to fight for Jiannu? Why do you still sell such a good firearm to him?"

"There is no way. In order to fight for a truce to benefit the rest of the people, I signed a truce agreement with Jiannu. The agreement was that Huang Taiji recognized me as his son, but I had to allow the sale of firearms to him." Zhu Youxiao continued to act helplessly and was a little convinced, and said, "I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor is willing to sell it to our Chahar tribe."

Zhu Youxiao thought carefully and said, "In this way, after all, you have already joined my Ming Dynasty. I will naturally be your brother, Shunping. My Arsenal Department still has 20,000 Apocalypse Flints. At that time, each handful of 100 silver dollars (the actual cost is 20 silver dollars). What should I do if I sell it to you? You must know that my Arsenal Department will have to spend about 100 silver dollars to build this hand. Now because it is you, I will suffer a little loss. In the future, I will rely on you to defend the northern border for me."

"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Please rest assured, I, Lin Danhan, will never betray the Ming Dynasty!"

After Lin Danhan finished speaking with confidence, Zhu Youxiao asked Wang Chengen to take him to sign a firearm purchase contract with Bi Maokang, the doctor of the Arsenal Department of the Suihu. Lin Danhan has accumulated a lot of gold, silver and treasures by annexing other tribes over the years. Therefore, he could still give out the 20 million silver dollars, equivalent to more than 2 million taels of gold.

But Lin Danhan was not satisfied with buying a batch of arms from the Ming Dynasty. He was also thinking about Zhu Youxiao's promise to give him part of Korqin's territory.

Therefore, he would still come to Zhu Youxiao from time to time, but Zhu Youxiao would be excused by him, but Zhu Youxiao did not leave Zhangjiakou immediately and ignored him.

After Tachahar's troops delivered the first batch of funds to purchase firearms, 500,000 taels of gold, Zhu Youxiao began to refuse to meet him and began to set off for Beijing.

But Lin Danhan still refused to give up. Seeing that Zhu Youxiao ignored him, he stopped Wang Chengen: "Eunuch Wang, why didn't the emperor see me? When will Xilin Guerre be given to me by the Chahar tribe? Why didn't the emperor say anything?"

Wang Chengen, who received the instructions from Zhu Youxiao, couldn't help but smile and said, "It just so happened that Your Majesty is going to return to Beijing today. If King Shunping wants to know, you can ask Your Majesty in person."

"Okay, I've asked several times, so I'll ask again this time." Lin Danhan was collapsed at this time, but he had no choice but to follow Wang Chengen to the palace to meet Zhu Youxiao. As soon as he saw Zhu Youxiao, he couldn't wait to ask about it.

Then Zhu Youxiao asked in surprise: "When did I promise you about King Shunping? King Shunping will not remember it wrong."

"Remember right! Your Majesty, you are also a person with a word of nothing, and you can't give up." When King Shunping said this, Zhu Youxiao suddenly scolded him: "Rareless!" King Shunping was so scared that he was stunned for a moment, but he still insisted on saying, "Maybe Emperor, you really have to regret it."

"It doesn't matter whether you regret it or not. King Shunping, you have to adjust your mentality. This kind of thing will not only happen once, but I will do such empty words a few more times. It's good that you'll get used to it."

As Zhu Youxiao said that, he turned around and entered the dragon chariot and prepared to set off for the trip to return to Beijing.

However, Lin Danhan didn't come back to his senses for a long time. His fists were tightly pinching and his teeth were clenched. It was obvious that he was very angry now, and Zhu Youxiao used him as a monkey to play with him.

Lin Danhan wanted to go back immediately and led tens of thousands of cavalry to avenge this hatred. However, when he thought that Zhu Youxiao had said a few days ago that Sun Chuanting and Wang Zaijin were strengthening their defense, and the Imperial Guards also retreated to Jizhou, he was afraid that they would be wary of their large-scale advance.
