Chapter 45: The Truth of the Rich Because they are nomads, the Uighurs are not good at accumulating family inheritance, and they are happy when they eat one day, which is a portrayal of their real life.
If they had a month's worth of food at home, they would rest for thirty days until they were hungry, and then they would rush to find food to eat.
The Song people and the Han people belong to the farming group, and because of the frequent natural disasters, the sense of distress has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.
If after the autumn harvest they find that the food at home is not enough to eat for a year, the Song people and Han people will start to pull grain from the outside from the first day, even if they have enough food for a year, they still want to be more comfortable.
Under the same conditions, over time, the Song and Han Chinese were much richer than the Uighurs.
This is the nature of human beings, and it is almost impossible for the Tubo people to abandon their unruly nature and learn from the Song and Han people the sense of distress.
If Tie Xinyuan was not the king of Hami, but just an ordinary businessman, his opinions would be exactly the same as those of the Song and Han people here.
Tie Xinyuan glanced at the people present and found that these guys were all waiting for him to speak.
It's not bad, at least the estrangement between the Song and Han people is gone, and driven by interests, they naturally hug each other.
Since he is the king of Hami, the people of Tiexinyuan are all Hami people, not just these wealthy Song people and Han people.
As long as they don't rob their cattle and sheep, they will pay taxes every year according to the share of four cows and one cow leg, although the government has said it a hundred times, it is not necessary to use so much, they still stubbornly pay taxes according to the rules handed down by Songtsen Gampo.
The Uighurs are not too stinky, and they are the most scoundrels, and they like to wander more than to work, and they like festivals more than money.
In the spring, they want to race, they want to chase, they want to be wild, they want to sing, they want to drink, in the summer they want to race, they want to chase, they want to wild, they want to sing, they want to drink, and in the autumn they still want to race......
Winter is different, they like to sleep......
Have a baby.
As for paying taxes?
If it weren't for the tax collector with the whip, they would have forgotten.
As for the people of the Western Regions who were still in the primitive society, Tie Xinyuan was generally reluctant to mention it, he felt that God was punishing him by bringing these people under his command.
Very obedient, obedient so that Tie Xinyuan was embarrassed to bully them.
After the harvest at the end of the year, no matter what they harvested, they would send their harvest to the city lord's mansion in one go, leaving not a single grain of grain at home......
Then he watched as his patriarch rewarded himself......
If people are not smart, they will naturally not gain much, and the chance of being deceived is a hundred times more than others......
Then, when Tie Xinyuan rewarded them every year, they generally lost money, and the loss was very bad.
Maybe I've been with smart people for too long, the Queen Mother likes this group of people the most, she thinks that the talents of the Western Regions are the most simple group of people, so the person who is responsible for presiding over the reward conference every year is always the Queen Mother Wang Rouhua.
Therefore, the people of the Western Regions could always exchange dried fish, dried meat, barley, wool, cowhide, rope, and wild fruits from the Queen Mother for cloth, cotton, grain, dried meat, dried fish, silver money, salt, iron pots, and all the things they needed to live, which were enough for them to eat for a whole year according to the population.
So, they were satisfied, and thought that they had followed a good patriarch.
Because he was stupid, he was best taken care of by the Queen Mother and the King.
The snobbish Song people and Han people naturally pulled this group of fools into their camp in order to strengthen their momentum.
Among the people who came to the City Lord's Mansion today was a man from the Western Regions, the famous Iron Two Hundred and Five.
This name was given to him by Tie Xinyuan, this guy is the stupidest one among the people in the Western Regions.
Others have stopped drinking soup a long time ago, he still drinks one bowl at a time, bowl by bowl, others come to the City Lord's Mansion for a purpose, this guy's purpose is to drink two more bowls of green vegetable soup.
Tie Xinyuan sighed secretly in his heart, rubbing his faintly aching temples sadly.
The smart are too smart, the stupid are too stupid, the diligent are too diligent, and the lazy are too lazy.
As a king, you must restrain the wise, protect the foolish, encourage the diligent, and spur the lazy.
It's too difficult.
"No, not a penny of wages should be given, and the meals that should be given cannot be increased or decreased at will.
This......
Forget it, I won't talk high-sounding nonsense, I don't need to reason with you Lao Tzu, next time I don't obey, I will directly whip it.
Boss Zhang, the Uighurs don't want to follow you to scrape the sheepskins in the winter, so you whip them until they become diligent.
Old man Liu, when you hire people next time, try to hire as many Uighurs as possible, and don't always have the idea of beating the Song prisoners, those people will be as rich as you in two years.
If Hami wants to have an overall surplus, there must be more rich people, and these prisoners are our hope, and we can't always help you open a shop and drive a carriage. ” Old man Liu Yan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with a smile: "What the king says, the little old man will definitely follow."
The little old man dared to ask the king, why do we help those slackers like this?
” Tie Xinyuan supported his chin with both hands and said helplessly: "Because you are not suitable for war, our children are suitable for making money and production, and they are not suitable for war alone."
It is not good to ride a horse, it is not good to shoot arrows, it is not good to cut people with a knife, and our children will run away when thousands of horses come running.
We're surrounded by slackers, and the richer we get, the more they blush, and we have too few people to protect our home.

Therefore, it was necessary to rely on the Uighurs, and in this case, the Prime Minister's Office issued some decrees in favor of the Uighurs.
If we want someone to help us work hard, we must always give some benefits, otherwise who will help us work hard?
Go back and tell the people that you can't save this money. ” Tie Xinyuan felt that these people were very tired of talking, and decided to speak in the vernacular, which was more credible.
Liu Yan was not excited when she heard Tie Xinyuan's words, but nodded solemnly and said, "The old man privately thought that this was the truth.
At the beginning of the year, the youngest son of the old man was eliminated from the cavalry and went to the logistics battalion, thinking that those Hu people in the army looked down on us.
It's all based on ability.
We are weak and are no match for the savages who have been climbing on horseback since childhood, and this is a reasonable thing.
In this way, our children do not participate in the war, but concentrate on making money, let those who can fight go to war, and give more money and food.
It's just that this is not a long-term solution, the old man in the clan said that if the army is full of foreigners, we will not have a good life. ” Tie Xinyuan looked at Liu Yan with satisfaction and said, "I am very happy that you can think like this, at present, as far as my Hami army is concerned, there are more Uighurs, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation."
The Uighurs were the best warriors, but not the best officers, the generals.
What our children have to do in the future is to become qualified generals, and this is our way of survival. ” Liu Yan smiled hesitantly: "Little Lao'er understands, so I will go back and tell the clan elders about the king's decision."
Tomorrow, let my boy enter the school, whether he is studying literature or martial arts, he must always be a useful person to the king. ” The power of the vernacular was revealed, Liu Yan was very happy to leave with the people, and Tie Xinyuan was very relieved to see Liu Yan scolding while kicking Tie Erfive with his feet.
After that, I can finally get rid of the anger of the stupid people in the Western Regions, and it feels really good to have someone to help.
Three days later, Huo Xian came to Tie Xinyuan with an unhappy face, and he was very dissatisfied with the fact that Tie Xinyuan could drive the Song, Han, Western Regions, Tibetan, and Uighur people to change with one word.
He believes that this is a manifestation of excessive monarchy, which is not good for a country, and few dictators have a good end.
"Qin II is dead......
The Battle of the Rivers......
Single-mindedness leads to the decline of national strength, and there is no follow-up power......
One person is short-sighted......
Teamwork has been slow to take effect......
The king should learn from this in the future......"
Huo Xian's angry appearance made Tie Xinyuan Long Yan happy for a whole day.
Being envied is, after all, a pleasant thing to look at.
The city of Qingxiang is now full of the deeds of the benevolent king Tie Xinyuan, and the bitter Uighurs suddenly find that their stingy employers have suddenly changed dramatically, although they are working as badly as before.
But ah, after work, I occasionally knew to take tired half-dead hired workers to the liquor store for a little drink, and to tease the orchid who sold alcohol.
Looking at the tattered clothes of the Uighurs, he knew that he had taken out one or two complete old clothes from his home and threw them at them.
When I was paid, I also knew how to give a few more eldest sons, my face was ugly, but the copper coins were exceptionally warm, and I didn't know how long I had been in my employer's arms.
It doesn't feel good to hit the air with a fist, at least, that's what Huo Xian thinks.
Until now, Huo Xiancai sighed at Ouyang Xiu's difficulty, and he didn't know what method Ouyang Xiu used to make a deserted Hami into the current orderly appearance.
The army obediently marched to the border states, the state capital re-recorded the population very calmly, and the merchants from the south and east were happily doing business.
He didn't even understand that Hami's specialty flax rope had become the largest purchase item in Kannai.
The overall profit even surpassed that of agate and jade.
The Great Song Dynasty government ordered 3,000 sets of horse-drawn hoes, 1,000 sets of jack arms, 15 extremely heavy water hammers, 600 sets of armor molds, and 1.6 million red willow arrow shafts......
Just for these goods, the Great Song Dynasty needed to pay 300,000 horses of linen, 150,000 catties of tea, and 100,000 catties of pig iron.
As for the salt, Hami has changed from a pure buyer to a seller.
The endless salt pans on the edge of the salt lake, the Hami people constantly pour the salt lake water into the salt pans, and then wait for the sun to dry the salt pan water, and then the salt pans are full of white flowers.
In Huo Xian's eyes, this is purely heaven throwing money down.
Hami's rules and regulations are full of loopholes, each of which is shockingly crude, and Huo Xian believes that if he is a corrupt official, he will become the richest man in the country within two years.
Watching the shepherds carrying pieces of salt on their backs to feed the cattle and sheep made his heart bleed.
The salt well in Shuzhong has been dug to a depth of 100 feet underground, and the people in Longzhong hang a salt block on the beam of the house all day long, and the whole family eats and looks at the salt......
The price of salt in Fengyang Mansion is no longer something that copper coins can buy.
