Zhao Wu returned from the wounded barracks and returned to Liu Heng's office.
"Sir, Ombuhong has chosen to stay in Qingcheng, and Zhamuhe also wants to stay. My subordinates dare not make the decision, so I came here to ask for your instructions."
As soon as he came back, he informed Liu Heng about Zhamuhe's intention to stay.
Liu Heng said: "If he wants to stay, he can stay. By the way, he will clean up Bu Shitu's Khan Palace and let them live in it. From now on, Omubuhong will stay in the Khan Palace to recuperate."
"Yes, I will make arrangements now." Zhao Wu saluted, turned around and walked out.
At this moment, Li Shuheng suddenly called him and warned: "Our Tiger Character Banner does not support freeloaders. Because they have to take care of Ombuhong, they can not be allowed to do things, but the daily expenses need to be accounted for." , they need to repay it later.”
"I understand." Zhao Wu nodded before leaving.
Only Liu Heng and Li Shuheng were left in the room again.
The weather has begun to warm up, the earth has become civilized, there is a thin layer of green on the grassland, and the stove in the office has been extinguished.
However, the weather on the grassland is changeable, and the temperature difference between days is large, so you still need to wear thicker clothes to keep out the cold.
"Ombuhong is still a child after all. He does not have the courage to overcome obstacles. When faced with a crisis, he will only hide and dare not face it." Li Shuheng held the teapot and blew in the hot air inside.
There is a touch of green floating in the tea vat, and the aroma of tea rises.
Liu Heng leaned back, leaning on the back of the chair, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "For the Tumote tribe, Ombuhong may not be a good Khan with his character, but for the Tumote tribe, For our Tiger-Character Banner, he is a qualified Khan, so that our Tiger-Character Banner can control the grassland in the future."
"That's true. If Ombuhong is really like Ada Khan, we won't treat his injuries, but get rid of him as soon as possible." Li Shuheng agreed.
The Tiger Flag needs an obedient Khan, and young Ombuhong is a suitable candidate.
Liu Heng said: "After we defeat the Mongolian army outside the city, we can start to let Ombuhong succeed the Khan of the Tumote tribe, and arrange for Zhamuhe to reveal the truth about the murder of Bu Shitu. Tumote tribe It’s almost stabilized, and then we need to fully develop the Tumut Grassland.”
As he spoke, he looked at Li Shuheng.
He still had an official position in the Ming Dynasty and could not stay on the grassland forever. The development of the grassland still relied on Li Shuheng to take over its management.
"The Tumut grassland is too big. If we want to open up wasteland for farming, the Han people living on the grassland alone will definitely not be enough. We need manpower, and the more the better." Li Shuheng expressed his concerns.
The Mongols are not good at farming, and the Tiger Flag also requires a large number of war horses and cattle and sheep herds, so the Mongols still have to use it for grazing, and the matter of farming will eventually fall on the Han people.
Liu Heng tapped the table with his fingers, thought for a while, and said: "We need to find a way to solve the population problem. Disasters are happening all over the Ming Dynasty, and there are many people who cannot eat. I am going to divide some fields on the grassland to use them to attract people." People from the Ming Dynasty came to farm on the grasslands."
"Our land does not have those messy exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. I believe it can attract many people who have no food to eat to live on the grassland." Li Shuheng supported Liu Heng's approach.
Now that the Tiger Character Banner has conquered Qingcheng and Bansheng City, the most fertile Bansheng land of the Tumut Tribe has also fallen into the hands of the Tiger Zi Banner. As the senior leaders of the Tiger Zi Banner, their goal has changed from defeating the Tumut Tribe to The army began to move towards how to develop the Tumut grassland.
For the Mongolian army twenty miles outside Qingcheng, it was only a matter of time for Huzi Banner to defeat this Mongolian army, and matters on the battlefield could be solved by the military affairs of Huzi Banner.
As the deputy director of the Military and Political Department of Huzi Banner, Li Shuheng has already begun planning the future development of Tumut Grassland.
"From now on, the land in our Tiger Flag is not allowed to be bought or sold, but it can be rented to others for farming, and the land must be divided according to the head of the population. These two points must not be changed." Liu Heng said in a solemn tone.
The annexation of land in the past dynasties has been immortalized at all levels. He was prepared to set such a requirement from the beginning and try to avoid the annexation of land.
As for the increasing population and insufficient land distribution in the future, he is not worried about this kind of thing.
The grassland is so big that there are enough people to divide the fields.
Now is the Age of Discovery. The most indispensable thing overseas is wealth. Folks can also develop handicrafts to get rich, which is more suitable than farming.
In this era, people no longer need to live on a few acres of thin farmland.
In Lingqiu, the income of those who work in the Huzi Banner Workshop in a few months is comparable to a year's income from farming. Many people living in Lingqiu and surrounding prefectures and counties have long been accustomed to going to Huzi Banner. Flag Workshop does things.
This also caused some tenants in the gentry's homes to quit their fields and choose to work in workshops. Even farming for Zhuangzi under the name of Tiger Banner was more cost-effective than farming for those gentry.
Some small landowners or squires began to sell their fields to the Tiger Flag.
Tenants who lacked land for farming had to leave their fields uncultivated, and there were many excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Even poor harvests were not enough to pay those taxes and miscellaneous taxes. When the land was left uncultivated, they had to pay for these taxes and fees themselves. Recommended reading TV//
Selling the land became their best choice.
Li Shuheng held the teapot with both hands, took a breath of hot air, and said: "After taking down the Tumote Department, we Tiger Flag people also need to divide the fields, otherwise it will easily cause internal dissatisfaction."
"I have considered this." Liu Heng said, "Everyone at the captain level and above must share the fields. Ordinary soldiers and soldiers at the corps commander level can also share the fields as long as their families are willing to live on the grassland, and every day One family will be allocated more land than ordinary people. As for how to get it, it is up to you, Brother Shuheng, to arrange it."
The most indispensable thing on the grassland is land. With the few people in the Tiger Flag, they cannot occupy too much land, and they will not destroy the unity within the Tiger Flag because of such a trivial matter.
Li Shuheng thought about it thoughtfully, then smiled and said: "This is a good idea. By dividing the land, the families of the soldiers can live on the grassland. In this way, a lot of Dingkou can be added."
The grassland is vast and sparsely populated, and what is most lacking is Dingkou.
In the future, the Tiger-Character Flag will have to establish itself on the Tumut grassland. The lack of enough holes will also be a constraint on the development of the Tiger-Character Flag.
"There is also the issue of tax collection. Brother Shuheng, please lead people to study a reasonable tax and collect taxes on the mature fields that have been raised. For newly reclaimed fields, there will be no tax for two years, and the fourth tax will be collected in the third year. Half tax, field tax will be officially collected from the fifth year, and our field tax must be collected according to the land, not per capita." Liu Heng briefly stated his thoughts.
