Chapter 1718: Sharp Knife All of a sudden, everyone's faces changed again.
They finally understood what Ye Chunqiu meant.
Ye Chunqiu wanted to treat them as a sharp knife.
To the west of the desert, there are countless countries, and there are countless lands, but the land bordering the desert is actually not good, north of the desert, there are continuous ice fields, and to the west, there are Gobi and plateaus.
In fact, in the past, the Tatars did not do much good in conquering it, because many of the places were uninhabited, and the Tatars were mainly herdsmen, and there was no way to raise livestock on a large scale, so naturally they could not be interested in occupying these lands.
But now it's different.
In essence, the sphere of influence of any nation lies in its way of work and rest.
It is difficult for the Han people to survive outside the customs, this is because the Han people are mainly farming, and the desert is not suitable for farming, so even if the Han people are strong, it is difficult to live outside the customs.
Ye Chunqiu solved this problem and used commercial methods, so that the Han people found that grazing was extremely profitable, so everyone flocked to grazing.
The fundamental reason is that the economy of the Hu people lies in grazing, even if they enter the customs as rulers, they soon find that they are not adaptable, except for the existence of parasites, or they can not rely on to get used to farming.
Those Gobi, those ice fields, and those plateaus, for the Tatars, in fact, are also meaningless, because the Tatars raise large-scale livestock and need abundant water and grass, so as the strong in the desert, they naturally occupy the best steppe in the steppe, as for the rest of the place, there are some failed peoples, in that barren land, barely surviving in the cracks.
So now Ye Chunqiu still uses economic methods to solve this problem, the grassland of the desert, he uses the Han people who have changed their way of life to graze, these pastures, not only produce huge economic benefits, but also change the way of life of the Han people, so that this desert is completely used by Zhenyuan country.
Now, he is still changing the way of life of the Tatars, and the land that used to be useless now has economic benefits, and you don't need to graze, you just need to conquer all the way.
The conquered land is all owned by the Zhenguo Government, and the Zhenguo Government uses these lands to continue to settle the countless Han people who have gone out of the customs, not only that, you no longer have to use grazing to maintain your survival, because as the sharp knife of the Zhenguo Mansion, you can be fed and clothed, and every inch of land obtained by the Zhenguo Mansion is valuable, and the ice field may be of no use to farming and nomadic peoples, but there are countless mines there, and there are endless forests, and these, It will be transformed into the driving force for the development of the town, the state and the government.
The Zhenguo Mansion could use the railway to connect these barren lands together, and the Tatars were allowed to conquer the Zhenguo Prefecture on the front foot, and on the back foot, the Han merchants and herdsmen were stationed here through the railway, logging and mining, establishing market towns, and establishing one trading base after another.
The more land the Tatars acquired, the richer they became, and the wider the territory of the town, the more resources they had to settle the larger the number of immigrants.
And the so-called silver paid to the Tatars, in fact, is an internal cycle, the Tatars got the silver, they had to buy weapons and food, as well as warm clothing, and countless ammunition, these silver finally flowed to the hands of the merchants of the town government, the merchants in order to meet the needs of the Tatars, must be large-scale production, and production, the need for population, silver began to flow, into the hands of the craftsmen of the silver, and finally became food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the merchants left huge profits, in the end, But it fell into the hands of the town government, and the reason is very simple, because the merchants expanded their production, and there were many countless minerals, so the mining concession of this mine, as well as the felling concession of the forest, also needed silver.
In the past, they could not make stable profits by conquering, even if they plundered the cities of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to getting salt and iron pots, there were countless consumables for life, even if they got silver, but because the Han people did not trade with them, in fact, the value of the silver was not high, because often smuggled merchants, they would make huge profits from it, a steel knife, in the Ming Dynasty may be a few taels of silver, to the Tatars, It was dozens or hundreds, plundering, only a momentary rich, and it was not long before they returned to poverty, but now it was different, the town government not only bought the land they conquered, but also bought the goods they plundered, and even gave many rewards, allowing fair trade with them, so that the Tatars could completely abandon grazing and devote themselves to conquest.
As for Ye Chunqiu to make this choice, it is also very simple, with the development of industry and commerce, the Zhenguo Mansion is like a monster, it needs countless minerals, and it needs countless markets, but if it is an expedition of the new army of Zhenguo to open up new markets, there will be a problem, that is, to kill chickens with a knife, there are not many powerful countries in this world, especially in this era, if the new army armed to the teeth is an expedition, the cost can be described as amazing, you know, this is the army created by the supply of the modern army, and the cannon sounds, it is an authentic gold tael.
Since this is the case, then let the Tatars do it, the Tatar iron cavalry has high mobility, and the supply is simple, and even if there is a loss, Ye Chunqiu is not a pity, it is not a pity to use other people's blood to exchange for other people's country, this is the best thing.
As soon as the conquest was followed by the extension of the railroad to the territory of the town, a large number of merchants and herders flocked in, and decades later, bazaars and settlements would rise from the ground.
Ye Chunqiu looked at Batu Munch and continued: "For you, this choice is not bad.
You can rest assured, since the Tatars have surrendered to me, naturally you will not be allowed to really shed blood, if you encounter a hard bone, the new army can immediately go to the past, what you have to do is to sweep all the way, with the new army as your backing, this world is so big, but who can stop you, as long as you are willing to use your life, you will no longer have to live the hard days of the past.
Life is rich, and it is only in front of you, and even your children and grandchildren, if they are not willing to join the army and move to live under the rule of the Zhenguo Mansion, then there is nothing to do." aa2705221:
