Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Chapter 941 Grassland Strategy

After a night's rest, everyone packed up their equipment and prepared to go again.

"Political commissar, return our armor to you." Baoli took a deep breath and said, the people of Datang trusted them yesterday and provided them with armor for their safety, so they also follow the rules and return the armor go back.

Comparing their hearts to their hearts, they are willing to believe in themselves and others, and they are naturally willing to believe in each other.

"No, as I said before, these armors were originally prepared for you. Now that they have been distributed, you can tidy them up by yourself. If you don't want to wear them for the time being too hot, then pack them up and take them away. Now here are big armors. Tang's territory is generally not dangerous." The political commissar said with a smile.

"Okay!" Baoli was silent for a while, and finally agreed.

In the next few days, the relationship between the two parties seemed to be drawn closer because of that night. If the two parties maintained a certain degree of politeness before, then now, the two parties really look like brothers.

Looking at the figure of the political commissar, Zhou Min was a little impressed. As expected of the political commissar, these Turkic people put down their guard so quickly.

After they rushed to the tribe where Baoli and others were, the relationship between the two parties was already very close. When all the Turkic people looked at them, they were like true friends.

Oh no, to be precise, they are also Datang people now.

At least, the current Baoli and others have regarded themselves as people from the Tang Dynasty!

Baoli, who returned to his hometown tribe, directly took the political commissar to read all the policies of the Tang Dynasty to these herdsmen, and accurately notified each herdsman.

The herdsmen who heard the news had the same reaction as Baoli and the others at the beginning, all in disbelief.

So many cattle, sheep and horses were distributed to them?

In fact, most of the distribution is cattle and sheep, and the number of horses on the grassland is far more than that of later generations, but even for the Turkic people, the war horses are actually herded by the nobles.

Herdsmen who specialize in raising cattle and sheep also have horses, but each herdsman only has five or six horses.

The major Turkic aristocrats have their own horse farms, which are not allocated, but are still assigned to the state-owned ranches of Datang.In addition, all cattle and sheep are allocated to the herdsmen on these grasslands according to the number.

The development of the work was far smoother than imagined. One by one herdsmen tribes began to gather, and the political commissars of each team and some dispatched officials also began to go deep into these herdsmen.

First of all, according to the original herdsmen tribes, they are divided into villages, fifty herdsmen a village, ten villages a brigade, and then ten brigades form a township.

First of all, according to the number of herdsmen and the number of cattle and sheep in this whole area, the cattle and sheep are evenly distributed.

It is unrealistic to evenly distribute the number of herdsmen and cattle and sheep in the entire Xue Yantuo. In that case, many cattle and sheep will have to rush to other places, and the grassland is too big.

In later generations, Inner Mongolia has a population of more than 110 million in a land of 2000 million square kilometers. The capital is sparsely populated, and many places are desolate.

Although it is because of the large population gathered in the city, the current Hanhai Prefecture is much larger than the later Inner Mongolia!Even if desert areas are left aside, the area that can be grazed far exceeds the total area of ​​Inner Mongolia in later generations.

With such a vast total area, the total population currently resettled, considering that the future Shiwei and Khitan together will only have a population of more than 200 million.

Therefore, the number of cattle and sheep allocated is roughly calculated by Xue Yantuo's overall cattle and sheep number, and then divided by Xue Yantuo's total population to get the average number of cattle and sheep that each herdsman can own.

Then refer to how many cattle and sheep are needed to feed a person on the grassland to calculate, and then distribute.

According to the current data obtained by Qibi Heli who encouraged these nobles to go to Chang'an in the grasslands in the early stage, and then roughly counted the population, cattle, sheep and horses, there are about 12 livestock needed to feed a person on the grassland, including 8 sheep. Only, 2 cows, 2 horses.

The milk produced by these animals, and their by-products, could probably feed a human being.

Of course, there must be discrepancies in this number. Li Ke and the others used average calculations, but in fact many of the cattle and sheep owned by the herdsmen on the grasslands belonged to nobles, and they had no right to handle them.In other words, the number of cattle and sheep that keep a herdsman alive must be far less than this number.

But where does it hurt if there is no comparison?Without comparison, how can you return to your heart?Therefore, the total number of cattle, sheep and horses per capita allocated by Xue Yantuo is based on 15. If a family of herdsmen is calculated with 5 people, it will be 75 livestock.

The publicized policy is tax-free for five years. After five years, the tax paid to the court is based on the number of cattle and sheep that are paid each year.And the number of cattle and sheep paid is far lower than the original Turkic tax standard.

You must know that the Turkic Khan used to collect taxes directly according to the number of livestock, not cubs, but adult cattle and sheep.But now the Tang court is expropriating lambs or calves.

And if the distribution of local cattle and sheep is less than 15 per person, if one is missing and the tax is paid after five years, the tax will be paid for two less, and the tax will be paid for two years less.

Therefore, when the entire policy is implemented, it can be said that these herdsmen have no meaning for their own identity as Datang people.

Datang didn't want their cattle and sheep, but allocated them cattle and sheep, and even allocated all the pastures to their herdsmen themselves, and these pastures will be theirs in the future.

And these pastures will be registered, and they will be taught how to rotate pastures.And help and guide them to build sheepfolds, build villages, and establish a fixed living place.

Such a good leader, when did you meet him?They have never heard of it!

What are you hesitating about?Khan?What is Khan?From now on, we will be herdsmen on the grasslands of Datang!

Herdsmen tribes began to gather one after another. After they gathered, they would form towns and towns on the grassland, and finally, with the economic prosperity on the grassland, they would form big cities.

Then use these permanent cities as solid points to connect and control the entire grassland in the northern border of the Tang Dynasty until there will be no more turmoil here.

At the same time, these political commissars who went to various places also began to do the same work as their colleagues in Qinghai, that is, village by village to complain.

These complaints will not only let them see clearly the cannibalistic nature of these Turkic nobles, but more importantly, the stories brought by these complaints will be summarized, and then registered, and then the next batch of children will be given to these herdsmen in the future During the education, the stories of how these nobles bullied the herdsmen will be told to them.

Similarly, there will be professional theater troupes adapting these complaining stories into repertoires for free performances in villages and towns formed by herdsmen on the grassland.

Well, His Highness said, this is called the Heart to Heart Condolence Group.
