Emperor Ming Dynasty

In the territory of Ming Dynasty, the spread of Tibetan Buddhism in the border areas was obviously stronger than that of Chinese Buddhism.

Some people say that Chinese Buddhism pays too much attention to cultural level, such as Zen Buddhism's epiphany, but in fact, Pure Land Buddhism is also very considerate, saying that as long as you recite Amitabha Buddha, you can go to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.

Therefore, during the Warring States period in Japan (Jiajing and Wanli), Japan's Pure Land Sect was powerful and directly established the Buddhist kingdom on the ground, which became the so-called Buddhist name.

He is keen to launch Yixiangyikui and incite the people to rebel.

But this mutated Pure Land sect allows monks to marry, and the father dies and the son succeeds, so many people think that Japanese monks can get married.

In fact, it is only the majority of Buddhist monks of the Pure Land sect, and some sects such as the Rinzai sect and the Nichiren sect are master-student succession.

Tibetan Buddhism, like Japan's Pure Land sect, practice fanatical god worship, and there are even living gods - living gods, as well as the master of Hongan Temple.

The secret inheritance can arouse the belief of ordinary people even more.

After all, the set of epiphanies in Zen, don't make dust or the like, are too difficult for people in the slave society to understand.

Therefore, both Tibetans and Mongolians are keen on Tibetan Buddhism, and it is enough to directly believe in the gods of this world.

Considering Jebtsundamba's influence in Mobei and its importance to the stability of Beihai in the future, Wang Fuzhi naturally respected him.

What's more, he has been granted the title of Dharma King, and his status is higher than him.

After Wang Fuzhi invited the great lama, he found that there were 60 shi of grain in the military city near Kulun.

[-] Beijing camp, one person and two horses, people eat horses and chew for more than half a month, there is no shortage of food.

Jebtsundamba took nearly a hundred lamas and two or three hundred believers who voluntarily escorted him to Beihai with the army.

It was not until mid-June that the group arrived in Beihai after a 20-day journey.

Chen Dong, Duke of Pingguo, and Zeng Ying, Duke of Changguo, greeted them warmly.

"I'm a vulgar person, and I'm good at fighting. If it's civil affairs, I really don't know how to do it. I'm frightened. I'm afraid that if I don't do it well, I will lose His Majesty's kindness."

"The two princes are polite." How could Wang Fuzhi take such polite words seriously, with a sincere smile on his face: "Now that Beihai is peaceful, if your actions are not good, then I, the governor, may come to embarrass me gone."

"Hahaha!"

The three looked at each other and smiled.

Surrounding the table, drinking the tea brought by Wang Fuzhi, Zeng Ying spoke first:

"Beihai now has seven cities, large and small. The most important one is this former Fengjing, which is now Beihai City."

"There are about 15 households. Mongolian people account for [-]%, and the remaining half are basically the coatings left by the Han Eight Banners and Manchu Eight Banners, which are not worth mentioning."

"Hateful, the slave chief took away nearly [-] households, otherwise, Beihai would have exceeded a million."

Hearing this, Chen Dong also agreed, and he was also worried about it.

You know, when Liaodong was first recovered, there were only a million people there, but now almost 20 years later, there are only three to four million people.

It can be seen that in the border areas, the population recovery is extremely slow.

"How many children from the Beijing camp are willing to stay?" Wang Fuzhi sighed in his heart, and suddenly asked a key question.

In a place like Beihai, the Buryat Mongols make up the majority, so the number of Han Chinese is very important. What better candidate than the Jingying?
Injured and disabled, at least 8000 people are not suitable to stay in the Beijing camp in this battle of Beihai. Wouldn't it be good to retire from the army and settle down in Beihai?
"Here, no matter how good the conditions are, and each person is rewarded with 500 mu of cultivated land, only [-] people are willing to stay..."

Chen Dong was a little embarrassed.

"In addition to [-] mu of arable land, I would also like to reward [-] mu of pasture." Wang Fuzhi said suddenly, full of momentum.

"If it's not enough, then [-] mu, [-] mu, such a vast Beihai, is there any shortage of pastures?"

Such a boldness earned the praise of Chen Dong and the two of them.

Is Beihai big?Pretty big.

It is estimated that there are millions of hectares of grassland, but nearly half of it will be distributed to ordinary herdsmen to win people's hearts.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult for Beihai to be stable.

And this pie was realized by Wang Fuzhi.

Including the emancipation of serfs, the division of pastures, the establishment of local systems, etc., Chen Dong was very knowledgeable, and basically laid the groundwork for Wang Fuzhi to do it.

Because no matter how good he is, the emperor and the court will not appreciate it, and it will embarrass the future governor.

Therefore, only 50 hectares of pastures are really controlled by the Governor's Mansion.

Ten thousand mu is one hundred hectares, and 50 hectares can only be divided into five thousand people.

Good guy, it's too exaggerated.

"Not enough Beihai ranch?"

"Enough is enough." Chen Dong explained: "There are countless pastures around Beihai, but 50 to [-] percent of them are covered by forests, so nearly half of the million hectares of pastures are given to herdsmen, only [-] Ten thousand hectares, about one hundred thousand hectares of arable land..."

"You are so generous, it really scared me."

(After checking, the Russian Republic of Buryatia has 35 square kilometers, and one square kilometer is 1500 mu, or 5.3 million mu, and 100% of it is forest, leaving [-] million mu, or [-] million hectares. Now the Beihai area must be larger , only for reference)
"Although 5000 people are small, if their families take over and join them together, that's 3 to [-] people."

Wang Fuzhi said without any distress: "Besides, as far as I know, there are a lot of forests in the Beihai area, and now only less than [-] to [-]% of them have been developed. When the number of people increases, are you afraid that there will be no land?"

Chen Dong and Zeng Ying were amazed when they heard the words.

With such courage and heart, he deserves to be the governor sent by the imperial court.

The two immediately let go of their underestimation and became more enthusiastic.

At the end, Wang Fuzhi said again: "Please postpone your return to Beijing a little bit, and let the Jingying brothers wait."

"Oh? Why?" Chen Dong was puzzled: "Now I hear that the Manchus have gone to the Zhasaktu Khan tribe, and the two are fighting. I, Beihai, should be fine."

"It's really a matter of the vassal state."

Then, Wang Fuzhi introduced Fuguo.

The emperor planned to establish Fuguo in Chechen Khan's camp, and once again build a magnificent city on the grassland, which made Chen Dong and his two speechless.

Zeng Ying even sighed: "In the past, tens of thousands of people worked hard for Nakulun City for nearly two years, and it took no less than 50 silver dollars to complete it. Looking at it now, Fuguo should be more expensive."

"I complain about the lack of wood, but I have a lot of wood in Beihai. Nearly ten Beijing camps and Mongolian soldiers go home. Even if a horse carries a log, it can take away no less than [-] logs."

Wang Fuzhi said with emotion: "With these woods, it is obvious that Fuwang Palace can be completed. What is lacking is only some bricks fired on site."

Chen Dong was quite speechless, this doesn't suit our Beijing camp at all, but Zeng Ying stopped him, and responded straight away: "Although it's a bit of a detour, but it's my duty to do things for His Majesty."

Only then did Wang Fuzhi show some smiles.

After the two left, Chen Dong was puzzled and said, "Why do you do such a thankless thing?"

Seeing Chen Dong's ignorant appearance, Zeng Ying sighed, "Fufan is located in the east of Mobei, very close to the capital, probably the closest among all the feudal clans."

"If King Fu knows that we have delayed the establishment of his vassal state, I'm afraid it will be kept in mind in the future, and perhaps it will be passed on to His Majesty's ears."

After Wang Fuzhi became the governor of Beihai, he carried out reforms in a big way.

First, in the name of Jebtsundamba, to appease the hearts of the people, and then divide the pastures into pieces based on the standard of thousands of acres.

The 50 hectares of pastures are only allocated to [-] herdsmen.

For the remaining [-] herdsmen, Wang Fuzhi did not panic. After explaining that there was not enough land, he planned to divide each tent into [-] mu of pasture.

However, the ranch is in the former Chechen tribe ranch.

To put it bluntly, it is to relocate the Mongolian people to make room for the Han people so that they can control the Beihai area.

At this moment, [-] herdsmen are ready to go south.

The remaining [-] tents, including many Mongolian peasants who were forced to work the land, will own the land as well.

Two hectares per tent, or two hundred mu, is one hundred thousand hectares.

All the arable land in Beihai was divided up.

In this way, the Bulyats in Mobei were divided into three groups at once.

One group went south and went to the Chechnya region; the other became herdsmen and owned their own pastures.

The other large part became self-cultivating farmers, owning their own land and houses.

The former Buryat Mongols were divided into three parts under artificial planning, with different customs and regions, so naturally they could not unite, thus overwhelming the Beihai Governor's Mansion.

You must know that the Hutus and Tutsis in the Rwandan genocide were only the colonists who assigned the white-skinned and high-nosed Hutus as Tutsis, which directly caused the confrontation between the two groups.

Now the difference between nomadic and farming is much stronger than skin.

It will only take a few years for unity to cease to exist, because farming is far more capable of accumulating wealth than nomadism.

This move was so clever that Chen Dong and Zeng Ying were amazed.

"Literati, it's really insidious."

Chen Dong sighed in admiration: "The hidden dangers that have been pressing on our chests in the past have been resolved in this way. Governor Wang is really amazing."

Zeng Ying echoed, "It's no wonder it's really appropriate to let that literati be the governor."

……

Terengganu.

The top ten customs of Ming Dynasty, Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Zhangzhou, Ningbo, Hangzhou, Songjiang, Tianjin, Nanjing, Dengzhou, Jinzhou (Dalian).

As the only customs office in Shandong, Dengzhou Customs is located in Changdao County. Because it is the largest island in the Miaodao Islands and surrounds the Bohai Sea, countless ships pass by every day.

As soon as the customs came, a steady stream of special products from Shandong came out through this window in exchange for a lot of money.

After all, returning from Tianjin south, it is also good to bring some special products back when passing through Shandong.

Yan Daya was carrying a parcel on his body, holding his own son's big hand, looking around, his yellow and black teeth chattering constantly, and his homemade clothes revealed his identity as a countryman.

"Boss, when will this ship arrive?"

"Father, don't worry." The eldest son, who was half a head taller than him, had a smile on his dark face, and said in relief, "If you are hungry, eat a scallion."

Yan Daya watched the boats stop slowly, took the green onion unconsciously, and ate it, as if this could calm the tension in his heart.

This time he came out with his son, it was the first time in his life that he was so far away from home, the first time he left the county and the mansion, and he would go to Nanyang next time.

"Son, is Qi Guo really that good?"

"Father, why do you keep asking this question? It's true." Yan Dashan said helplessly, "My son is there, but he has a hundred acres of land, and it's all well-irrigated land that can grow rice."

"Three times a year, you can open your stomach to eat after you pass by. Although you can't eat white rice every day, you can still have a bite every now and then."

"Meat is even less valuable. It only costs five cents a catty, not to mention how happy it is."

Yan Daya murmured, "You said you were going to dig some gold mine, and you stayed after you dug, and you wanted to take our whole family over, I have to understand carefully..."

With the passage of time, Shandong, which suffered from looting and wars during the Chongzhen period, has already recovered its vitality, and its population has continued to surge, exceeding [-] million.

The land, which was considered generous at first, became increasingly scarce.

Coupled with some natural and man-made disasters, diseases and so on, bankrupt small farmers continue to emerge, and there are more tenants in Shandong.

At this time, they either went north to the capital through the canal, or traveled south, but few dared to go to Nanyang.

Everyone is naturally afraid of the sea.

This is the case with the Yan family.

Yan Daya's family had a total of [-] mu of land. His father was seriously ill, so he had to sell [-] mu of land. When he inherited the family business, he divided the family among his three younger brothers, and he only had [-] mu of land in his hands.

And these ten mu of land could not support the three sons and two daughters at all, so they had to rent five mu of land from the same village clan, which was barely enough.

The boss, Yan Dashan, was born with a big appetite and could not get enough to eat. Two years ago, he heard that the state of Qi was recruiting miners, so he could eat and drink without worrying about food and drink. He also directly gave three months' salary as a settling fee: six silver dollars.

After filling the rice tank at home, and buying new clothes for his younger siblings, Yan Dashan resolutely left.

As a result, when he came back two years later, not only did he look like a dog, but he also said that he had [-] mu of land in Qi State, and it was irrigated, with three crops a year, and he wanted to take his family south.

Yan Daya naturally didn't believe it, so after the busy farming season, he went to see it in person.

Half an hour later, a large ship approached the dark, and the word "Qi" was written on the huge flag.

"Father, this is His Highness King Qi's boat. It will pick us up for free, without spending money."

Yan Dashan pulled his old father and quickly boarded the boat.

Although there are only long shop tickets and it is very crowded, Yan Dashan is very satisfied: "Father, if you pay for this trip, you won't be able to get in without two or three yuan, and you will have to sit for half a month!"

"But His Royal Highness King Qi is considerate of us. We don't need money, but we also provide food and drink."

Yan Daya's face was full of wrinkles and stretched out: "It's better not to have money, it's better not to have money, this King Qi is really a living Bodhisattva."

"Brother, are you going to the country of Qi?"

The big man in the same shop buckled his feet, and couldn't help saying in surprise.

"That's right." Yan Daya nodded, and handed him a green onion.

The big man took a bite and stripped himself naked: "Qi is very developed now. As long as someone goes there, each family will have a hundred acres of land, and there are gold mines. There are a lot of rewards."

"His Royal Highness King Qi is a Ming Jun, much better than our county magistrate, you are blessed."

"Brother, where are you going?" Yan Daya asked.

"Lu Song!" The big man said without hesitation: "Lu Song is also very good. Although he does not divide land, he makes a lot of money. I am going to join relatives and make a fortune together..."

Along the way, the two chatted happily.

It was already July when the father and son arrived in Qi.

The heavy rain poured down, making the entire city of Linzi seem to be plunged into a swamp.

Yan Dashan took his old father to the Penglai Gold Mine (Surigao Gold Mine) by boat again. Because of the gold mine, a city was directly formed here, called Penglai City, with nearly 2 people gathered. It is the second city in Qi State .

"You see, this is our land."

Yan Dashan pointed to the overgrown land and said, "As long as our whole family settles down, we can share more. One person can share an extra thirty mu!"
