"Tribal leaders can be appointed officials. As local officials of the Ming Dynasty, they can receive salary on a quarterly or annual basis. At the same time, they have a license to trade on Temple Street." Yang Fan said.
When they heard about the salary, these people pricked up their ears.
Trade rights are what they want even more. The fur goods and various materials in their hands can only rot in their hands without the right to trade. These people were not valued by the Ming Dynasty and were not qualified to pay tribute.
They had heard that the leaders of Nuer Gandusi had been officials in the Ming Dynasty for decades. The salary of the Ming Dynasty was silk, cloth, and grain. It's what they need most.
Sometimes there are extra rewards on good days such as the emperor's and empress' birthdays or the new king's coronation.
"If the tribe can produce fifty full-time soldiers, it will be eligible to receive the canonization." Yang Fan continued, "Not everyone can be a local official in the Ming Dynasty. There must be at least a thousand tribesmen who can produce five Ten soldiers. They can be granted the title of deputy of a hundred households. Official positions can be hereditary. The salary is two taels of silver per month plus one load of rice. If you pass the assessment at the end of the year, you will also be rewarded with ten pieces of cloth, one piece of silk, ten catties of salt, and white sugar. Ten kilograms, ten kilograms of tea bricks. One hundred households, one thousand households, one thousand households, it will be doubled step by step."
This condition is even better than that of the Jurchens in the East China Sea. These leaders were immediately moved.
The reason is to give them better conditions. It's because they are located far away. It takes a month to reach Vladivostok. The conditions are not good and it is estimated that they will not be able to be mobilized.
"If there is an expedition in the Ming Dynasty, you must send out soldiers to follow. The number of soldiers for a hundred households must not be less than 50, and the number of 100 households must not be less than 100. The number for a thousand households must be no less than 500, and the number of 1,000 households must not be less than 1,000. The soldiers who go out for the expedition , one hundred kilograms of grain will be paid as settlement expenses in advance. The military salary will be one kilogram of rice per month. If there are gains and losses, there will be additional bonuses."
When this condition was announced, there was a bang and almost exploded.
Food is very precious here. Because animal meat and fish are not easy to preserve. The collected fruits, mushrooms, and wild vegetables are difficult to preserve in Nagasaki. They lack the technology to handle it effectively.
Therefore, when food is in short supply, especially in winter, food is a life-saving thing. Only food can be stored for many years, even ten years.
They have nowhere to hunt in the winter. Under the heavy snow cover, animals hibernate and hide. They were all eating the food they had stored for autumn in the cave.
Naturally, these people cannot hunt. And the rivers were frozen. Fishing is also impossible.
At this time, we can only rely on the dried vegetables and meat stored in autumn to wait for the arrival of spring. At this time, in the most difficult time, if there is food and dried wild vegetables to cook porridge, it can ensure that the young people in the tribe will not starve to death. If there was more food, the elderly and children might survive this winter.
There is so little food to get here. After all, food is so important, and the caravan was intercepted by other tribes before it even got here. Even if a small amount of grain comes here, the price will not be less than a piece of sable skin and a pound of rice.
Now, the conditions given by Daming made their eyes red.
Especially when there is an expedition, if you follow the expedition, give each person a hundred catties of rice first. This is a huge fortune. During the expedition, there was also military pay of one dan rice per month. It almost made them suspect that they had heard wrongly. There are captures and seizures, and there are rewards.
These people immediately swarmed up and shouted that they were willing to accept the canonization.
Donkey Dan roared, "Back away, don't get closer than three steps."
Everyone immediately realized the dignity of this noble man. He quickly returned with an apologetic smile.
"One month later, when you come to Shuangchengzi, I will see the number of soldiers you brought. According to the number of soldiers, we will assign official positions. At the same time, we will determine the scope of the territory for you on the map. Once the official positions are determined, the Ming Dynasty will issue four sets of single clothes and uniforms a year. Cotton clothes and official uniforms. There is also a set of armor, a bow, three hundred arrows. A waist knife, a spear, a dagger. Three pairs of leather boots. Since we are here today, each person will be given a hundred kilograms first. Rice, ten pieces of cloth. Ten kilograms of tea bricks, ten kilograms of refined salt. A jar of strong wine. Five hundred kilograms of braised whale meat."
Yang Fan did not have the time or energy to go to their territory to verify one by one. At that time, it depends on how many people they can pull out. How many soldiers you have and how many officers I will give you.
It is a law of heaven and earth, and children and old men should not be deceived.
These savages, no matter how rough they are, have to be convinced.
Who makes you inferior to others? If you have few soldiers, you have to accept the reality.
But today we can’t let anyone come in vain. As long as you come, you will be rewarded. This is to follow Shang Yang's example and gain their trust. Especially spirits and refined salt, once these savages have tasted them, they will never forget them. This is to bind them with the desire for food and drink.
Yang Fan now has water transportation, and this time nine big fortune ships have brought a huge amount of supplies, which are all stored in the warehouse on Temple Street. Yang Fan was able to distribute supplies.
Whale meat is the least valuable, and the Vladivostok whaling fleet can catch hundreds of them every month.
Whales are mainly used to extract whale oil, and whale skins can also be used to make leather goods. As for whale meat, canned meat is actually similar to braised pork.
The taste of whale meat is not much different from that of ordinary meat. The only difference is that it has a little more fishy smell. After removing the fishy smell, it is not much different from ordinary pork and beef. After all, whales are actually mammals.
When cooking, add some white wine, vinegar, and ginger. The fishy smell can be easily removed. It’s done, the whale meat is delicious.
The taste of whale meat is like three layers of meat. It has a soft texture but still has a bit of bite.
The cooked whale meat is very delicious, but in fact the taste is not much different from ordinary meat, it just has a little more fishy smell. This fishy smell can be removed with spices and frying. There are so many ways.
Yang Fan now has a special clipper ship to transport spices back from the Nanyang Islands. The spices are the same as those picked up for free, worthless. The early small clipper ships have now been converted into spice transport ships.
Whale meat tastes like beef. The taste is a bit like crispy white fungus. If it is not seasoned, it will have almost no taste at all, and it will just have a crunchy texture.
Whale steak is made by cutting the whale meat into small pieces like ribs, frying them, and then coating them with seasonings. It tastes hard and dry.
Yang Fan has found the best way to cook it, which is to braise it in soy sauce. Almost a substitute for braised pork.
Factory production, and then packaged in tinplate barrels, each weighing 50 kilograms. Because it is produced under high-temperature sealing, the shelf life is as long as three years. Not only is it spiced and plenty of salt is added. It is a rare delicacy in this day and age.
Spices and refined salt are not something that ordinary people can afford. Even the Ming Dynasty was rich.
The output of this thing was very large, and Yang Fan shipped tens of thousands of barrels to the Temple Street warehouse. Today there are about a hundred leaders, and ten barrels per person is only a thousand barrels.
After Yang Fan finished explaining how to distribute things to them, he left. As for those who want to be officials, just go to Vladivostok with your troops. It's better to make them active in this kind of thing.
Daming needs to be more arrogant, love will come or not.
After Yang Fan left, these people ran excitedly to get supplies. As a result, these savage things were obtained. I couldn't help but open the can and taste the whale meat, opened the bottle of spirits, and started drinking.
A jar of wine weighs only three kilograms. These savages couldn't help but drink them all. Drunk and unconscious. Su Tong was so frightened that he quickly brought them inside and put them on the big kang to avoid freezing to death outside.
