Iron Hammer was a little helpless and could only say: "I understand, I'll go first."
Just like Old Tuva's suggestion, Tie Hammer quickly found several nearby village chiefs, and then told the matter. What didn't surprise Tie Hammer was that there were also some old herdsmen in their villages. There were similar claims, and soon they joined forces to go to their superiors.
But before going to their superiors, they spread the news.
About half a month later, Qiao Shiwang received a long letter from all the people.
Different from Qinghai Prefecture, Qinghai-Tibet Prefecture was integrated into the Tang Dynasty not long ago. However, as a Qinghai-Tibet Prefecture that passed on advanced ideas through Duoji and others, when they belonged to the Tang Dynasty, everything they experienced was unprecedented. experience.
In the past, when they studied Duoji's lectures, and when someone conveyed Duoji's or His Highness's thoughts, they were just full of hope for the future. But after Datang took over here, those good days they could only think about in their dreams continued. Coming, bit by bit, it has become a reality.
Therefore, Datang's rule here has received unprecedented support. Only when you have lost it can you know how to cherish it.
Having never experienced the life of the common people in the Tang Dynasty, the serfs who were transformed from slavery can deeply cherish their current life.
When this new agricultural tax subsidy policy was announced, all the serfs felt deeply grateful. It was unimaginable that the taxes they had to pay before were so low, but now... they don't even have to pay taxes. .
What's more, the Tang Dynasty now has a brand-new policy. As long as they are willing, they can migrate from the plateau to the plains that are more suitable for farming. All the expenses on the journey, as well as the rations for the first year, will be paid by the Tang Dynasty. The court is responsible.
How dare they think of such a thing before?
Many herdsmen have made their choice silently. They want a better life.
Of course, no one would talk about the lives of these herdsmen, but many people like Dorje and others who stayed in Qinghai came to see these people off silently, and just told them before leaving.
When they go to a new place, they should not forget what they have learned and always keep His Highness's thoughts in mind.
Also on the Mongolian grasslands, all the herdsmen who had just received the news also fell into silence. For them, such a policy could not even be imagined in their dreams, but now the Tang Dynasty court treated these newly surrendered people as are included in it.
Only those who have experienced it know how to cherish it, so these herdsmen are even more certain that the Khans in the past were just people who exploited them, and the Tang Dynasty is their true destination.
In the past, they yearned for the Central Plains and plundered the Central Plains. Their Khan told them that the people of the Central Plains were all two-legged sheep. They were born with such fertile land, but they could only suffer on this grassland.
So they want to rob those Central Plains people, rob their wealth, and occupy their land.
But now, they suddenly understood that these words were all lies, and they were actually just for the purpose of robbing the Khans of their wealth.
Who says you can't live a good life on the grassland? And now Datang has used facts to prove that as a herdsman, living on the grassland can also lead a good life.
It just depends on whether the so-called Khans will let them pass.
And now that the Tang Dynasty has allowed them to live a good life, they have begun to understand in their hearts that in the future, anyone who wants to return to the previous khan system just wants to rule them again, oppress and exploit them again.
They are not really doing it for the good of ordinary herders like them.
In the eyes of those nobles, herdsmen like them are nothing more than the property of those nobles.
Although they are uneducated, they know how to behave well.
Although these herdsmen did not say it clearly, and they did not have the cohesion like the Qinghai herdsmen, there were many more people who silently pulled the stones in their spare time, and the transportation time was much longer.
Agricultural tax subsidies are Datang's most important national reform policy this year. Both the Ministry of Public Security and other departments are paying close attention to this matter and cannot allow any problems to arise in this matter.
In fact, most local officials in the Tang Dynasty also couldn't understand. They didn't know how the Tang Dynasty would run if they didn't collect agricultural taxes and gave money to the people in turn. Where does the treasury go to find revenue?
Do we just rely on business tax? I'm afraid not. Even if the commercial tax is stronger than everyone thinks, it is not enough to support such a large amount of tax, right?
But there are many policies that they don't understand, so they can only implement them silently. In the current Datang Dynasty, they have no say.
These officials were all from prominent families, and they all knew that the situation in the Tang Dynasty had changed a long time ago. Now is not the time for their aristocratic family.
If you can't go against the flow, you have to go with the flow.
Since you can't fight the river, you have to hibernate under the waves.
Because they all see clearly that in the world today, the most important forces, the Tang Dynasty's army and the security army, are beyond their influence, and countless people in the Tang Dynasty do not listen to them at all.
If so, who can they influence? Even those servants who used to be regarded as die-hard loyalists of various families have now been changed to a contract system. Under the contract system, do you know which servant has ulterior motives?
They don't know where His Majesty's confidence comes from, nor do they know what kind of magic His Majesty can conjure up money to keep the court running.
But we can only wait and see.
But what they don't know is that, somewhere they can't see, new state-owned chain stores all over the Tang Dynasty are quietly being established.
The name of this firm is: Datang XX Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
In this trading house, ironware such as bent-column plows, columbians, kitchen knives, iron pots, etc. produced by several local steel plants and machinery manufacturing plants in Datang are sold here.
In addition, various types of ordinary cloth, salt, grain, etc. from official textile mills are also sold here.
More items will be gradually sold here in the future.
These officials could only see many people pulling carts of grain into the Tang Grain Storage warehouse. What shocked them even more was that almost all the people violated the laws of the market.
They ignored the fact that directly selling their brand-new grain to private trading houses cost more than ten yuan per stone. Almost most of them sold it to Tang Chuliang and state-owned trading houses.
This... this is what they think, they are profit-seeking, poor people without a long-term vision, haha. Are these still the common people who can buy their lives for a little money?
You must know that this year's grain harvest will be bumper. If their grain is sold to private grain stores, they can get hundreds of dollars more!
This... all the people from these wealthy families were dumbfounded, something unimaginable to them was happening.
