Chapter seven hundred and thirty three.

The bloody storm of the ancient country that was killed thousands of miles away, vultures were everywhere in the sky. At this time, the border area in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty was filled with spring breeze, and the beautiful scenery of green sky was filled with green. The battles here have been quiet all year round. Instead, the green grass is green, and herds of cattle and sheep are comfortable gnawing on the green and scattering joy on the grass.

However, at this time, the people driving the flock were no longer Mongolian riders wearing felt hats and fur coats, but instead Han people wearing cotton jackets and whips.

After the siege of Shengjing, the Mongolian cavalry, who were defeated with the plague, brought about no less disaster to the grassland than the losses caused by the five northern expeditions of Emperor Yongle, the army of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. The troops fought fiercely with each other, and the people who died of illness, the population of the grassland dropped by a shocking decline in just a few years.

If the fight between these grassland tribes was nothing to do with the Central Plains dynasty within the nine borders, they were just fighting lively, allowing the Central Plains to live a peaceful life comfortably until the next vicious and greedy grassland hero reunified the tribe and the iron cavalry opened the gate of the Central Plains fiercely.

But this time, taking advantage of the great decline of the Mongolian tribe, the Ming people in Shanxi and Hebei were out of the gate without hesitation. They circled the land on the grassland. The imperial marquis, the central army commander, and the general of Dingbei, Tian Chou, also sent an army to seize the fertile and fertile Tumochuan Center, which was once the capital of Tumote tribe, Guihua City.

The unwilling Heshuote tribe, the Zarut tribe sent troops to retake it twice, but they threw down countless bodies under the sharp artillery fire of the Ming army and the flintlock rifle that was not covered by wind and rain, and fled back in a panic.

At this time, Tumochuan had become the world of the Ming people.

However, the economic situation of Yanxing in the past, when farming outside the pass, had undergone a drastic change.

First of all, the grain is not so valuable. The development of the Great Northern Wilderness created a huge commodity granary for the empire. The vast land and capitalized operation have all severely hit the traditional small peasant and landlord-style economy. The hard-working Yanxing farming can reach the level of full food that I never dared to imagine before, but it is too difficult to get rich.

Especially the Western Revival Plan chaired by Wen Meng, which greatly developed the Hetao Plain, and the South signed an agreement with Dashun Kingdom. The northern consortium began to operate the two major strategies of Huguang, a traditional grain base. The grain price dropped from the most terrifying Chongzhen 114 taels of silver and one stone of rice in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen to only six or seven hundred cents of silver and one stone of white flour now. There is no profit in small-scale farm operation.

Also, as Mao Jue's strategy of increasing domestic demand, the distribution of wealth in the Ming Dynasty was no longer the once unhealthy olive shape. The wealth share of the civilian class, whose head and tail accounted for 95 or 6% of the head and tail began to grow. Moreover, with the prosperity of industry and commerce, the middle class that Mao Jue most wanted to see gradually emerged in batches.

With money in your pocket, the direct impact is that the proportion of meat in the food category of residents of the Ming Dynasty began to increase significantly, and the middle class's demand for clothing increased greatly.

The third point is the improvement of transportation. In the past, Shanxi merchants had to send a caravan to trade from Shanxi to the grassland, which took a few days. However, now, one branch of the Northern Railway directly connects to Guihua City. If you want to come here to do business, a few days will be enough. The bulk trade can also be quickly transported back to the pass.

So, under the stimulation of the market, the Chinese farmers who had been holding hoes for thousands of years also picked up their whips and started grazing.

However, this grazing method is completely different from the Mongolians' living by water and grass. The government surveyed and used barbed wire mesh produced from the Liaodong Industrial Base to evenly divide the grasslands into evenly-sized square pastures. In the past, farmers planted crops, but now they can plant grass. The livestock moves in their own pastures. After eating them all, they will replant them and drive them to another one to eat. At the same time, the feed of the livestock no longer depends on grass. In the vast soybean fields in the Great Northern Wilderness, the by-product soybean meal, which was harvested after machine oil pressing, was sold in large quantities to Tumochuan and fed to the livestock as feed.

Every year when autumn and winter fall, the Ming herdsmen will slaughter a large number of adult animals like the Mongols. However, the Mongolians cannot preserve and digest so much meat, and many of the slaughtered animals are finally wasted. However, the Ming herdsmen use natural refrigerators during the cold season to freeze these meat into lumps and sell them in large quantities to rise in cities within the city, and the skin is sold to Zhangjiakou to make leather jackets and sold to the whole country.

The dividends brought by the fur and meat business have developed into a healthy emerging industry. The Ming Ranch in Mochuan, originally local to Mochuan, has also begun to spread deep into Inner Mongolia.

This should be considered the best season in the grassland for thousands of years. It was blowing the spring breeze, basking in the warm sun, riding on the grassland on horseback, watching the herds of cattle and sheep eating grass and scattering joy around them, there was nothing more comfortable than this. It was swaying on the horse with its bulging belly, and looking at the sky and clouds that were clear, Chiyohiko simply hated that she didn't have many eyes.

Under such a beautiful scenery, even Changping relaxed a lot and looked into the distance from time to time.

But this happy mood does not include Han Xiaomo, the northern girl who was following Changping in the capital and trying to sue.

A wide green terry wrapped her whole body tightly like an Arab woman, so tight that she couldn't reveal her slightest. Changping explained that the reporter had a wind sore and had acne on her body, but in fact, there was a rope net under the green terry, which tied her up tightly.

The Japanese binding method brought by Chiyohime, two ropes were tied up and down around her plump breasts, and they were fixed under her armpits. The two arms could not move. The wrists were then overlapped behind her back, tied to this parallel rope, clenched her fists and held her hands behind her back, and she could not move at all.

What is even more perverted is Chiyohime, the little demon. This perverted girl tied a circle of numb ropes around her slender waist, and then the rope went around from her crotch and strangled hard behind her waist. The most important part of the woman was tied by the rope. Even if her legs were not tied, she could not escape by strode, so she could only walk in small steps, otherwise she would suffer if she had to take a big step.

Not to mention escaping, she rolled her eyes as she shook her back.

Before entering the capital, Han Xiaomo admired Changping, the editor-in-chief Qingtian who broke the Zhengcheng case and sought justice for the people. But now, Changping's image has been completely subverted. Looking at Changping's back, she was so angry that her teeth were itchy. Unfortunately, even if she wanted to scold people, she couldn't curse. It was really under the veil. Her little mouth was filled with walnuts, and the slight toxins of the walnuts had made her tongue straight.

"Suspicious ghost! Sadness!!!"

The girl, who was so angry, worked hard for a long time, and finally muttered twice in a vague way. Who knew that it seemed like telepathy? Changping suddenly turned around suddenly and looked at her little face. He scared Han Xiaomo to make a clever smile. He quickly squeezed out another smile and broke his eyes into a crescent moon.

However, Han Xiaomo was too worried, and Changping's mind was not at all on her.

Even now, Changping is still hesitating and doubtful. The Ming Dynasty is developing the grassland with great fanfare, but one factor that cannot be avoided is the Mongolian tribe.

Later Mongolian tribes were also one of the fifty-six flowers of the fifty-six ethnic groups. Mao Jue was not a murderer. As long as he put down his knife and no longer robbed, Mao Jue was happy to accept them. Now he broke into the grassland of the northern ranch. A large number of Mongolians have been hired by ranchers to help take care of the animals, just like cowboys in the western United States.

But this Bao Ketu is the first time that the Ming Dynasty's official political cooperation with the Zarubu tribe of the entire Mongolian tribe. The Shanxi merchant consortium paid the money and the Zarutu tribe sent people to jointly run the Bao Ketu coal mine, which not only solved the border problem, but also brought the Zarutu tribe into the Daming civilization circle, killing two birds with one stone!

The power struggle between the Shanxi merchants, Mongolian tribes, Liaodong factions and the old Ming factions was extremely complicated. If you are not careful, maybe Mao Jue's hard work will be ruined!

This is also one of the reasons why Changping still doesn't believe this girl. If she was sent by an ambitious sect in the court, deliberately making a bad thing, and using her hand, then Changping will be a sinner for the ages!

Just as Zhu Ma was seriously thinking, the officer in charge of escorting him in front suddenly ran back quickly and reported respectfully.
