Chapter 225

When King Jianning entered Gaochang City, he did the same thing as he did in Tingzhou City. While appeasing veterans like Li Xiuzhang who had surrendered, he promoted players to enter the Xizhou Governor's Mansion and actually control the entire Xizhou.

This time Dong Zhong's rebellion case completely silenced the forces opposing King Jianning in Xizhou City.You must know that Dong Hou's mansion is a prominent family in Gaochang, and the families who have been associated with him are all over Xizhou. The family is going to be wiped out!

After King Jianning arrived in Gaochang City, he first issued two decrees.

The first is to abolish the privilege of the old nobles of Gaochang to keep slaves. This does not mean that the slave system is abolished all at once, but that the old nobles of Gaochang, like the people of the Tang Dynasty, can only need officially recognized slaves.

Datang officially recognized slaves, which are the so-called official slaves. Some of these official slaves came from conquered areas, and some were family members of sinners imprisoned for crimes. These are registered slaves and can be traded.

However, in the early Tang Dynasty, it was extremely hard for ordinary people to be slaves. Population is the foundation of feudal society. A freeman becomes a slave, which means that this freeman disappears from the taxation of the court. If the court loses the population under control, Then the imperial court lost its sources of soldiers and taxes.

This time, the privilege of the old Gaochang nobles to keep slaves was abolished, which is much stricter than the previous government policy of buying slaves.

However, the leaders of the old nobles like Dong Zhong were all imprisoned for treason, and the remaining old nobles naturally did not dare to resist, so they could only obediently accept King Jianning's order.

The second order is aimed at Xizhou merchants. Merchants who go north to Mobei to do business will be given a partial tax exemption policy. At the same time, merchants who can buy horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock from the grassland can also receive government subsidies.

Gaochang was originally a city with a strong commercial atmosphere. In the old days, the Gaochang Kingdom was founded because of the prosperity of trade. Gaochang merchants were also well-known in Longyou.

This decree is not only aimed at the common people, but also includes players. Many active players are also planning to open a trading station in the north.

However, the merchants from Gaochang must first go north to do business in the more friendly Ge Luolu area. The Ge Luolu people have just signed a trading post agreement with Datang. The largest trading station will be established in the Ge Luolu people's Wangting Jinshan near the city.

Gradually control the grain of the grassland through trading stations, and use trade to divide and disintegrate the grassland tribes. This is Jiang Lun's plan to control the grassland that "the economy is the spear, divide and rule" proposed to Li Yan.

These two orders have made King Jianning warmly supported by the people of Gaochang City. Xizhou, which has always been resistant to the rule of the Tyrant Mansion, has finally begun to integrate into the jurisdiction of the Tyrant Mansion.

Cui Tao and other players couldn't help but sigh with emotion. In this era of imperial power, the justifiable influence is indeed huge. King Jianning, who was canonized by the court as the county king, still has great prestige in the border cities of the Tang Dynasty.

Players also realized that even after being hit by the Anlushan Rebellion, the signboard of Datang was still very loud, and those players who advocated independence in Longyou also understood that the appeal of imperial orthodoxy among the people was still strong.

That night, Cui Tao was summoned by Li Yan.

"My minister Cui Tao sees Your Highness."

Cui Tao is the private minister of King Jianning's overlord's mansion, so the relationship is naturally closer than the foreign ministers. Li Yan knew that he was a player, and he didn't like the idea of ​​superiority and inferiority, so he asked:

"Now that Xizhou has been subordinated, Cui Lang's stay here is overkill. The lonely king wants to transfer you to Zhangye."

Zhangye?

Cui Tao understands why King Jianning sent him to Zhangye. Yu Chixin, who is stationed in Zhangye, has complained many times. Zhangye's civil affairs are cumbersome, and he is almost unable to support himself.

Zhangye is currently the easternmost point of King Jianning's territory. Cui Tao has always advocated expanding eastward, and King Jianning wants to realize his ambition.

Cui Tao said quickly: "I obey the order!"

Li Yan changed the subject and asked: "Cui Sima, there are many troubles in Ganzhou now, what's your plan after you take office?"

This is asking about politics. Cui Tao understood that it was King Jianning asking him about his policy. Cui Tao immediately said:

"The matter in Ganzhou mainly comes from the chaos caused by changing horses to mulberry. It is necessary to restore the horse administration in Ganzhou as soon as possible, and at the same time solve the land problem in Ganzhou."

Li Yan nodded. Ganzhou is an upper state, and its population is far greater than that of other states outside the Great Wall. The land issue is also the most acute.

This is also the reason why these big clans are so active when they hear that the four counties in Hexi are going to implement the transformation of horses into mulberry trees. The land here is too precious.

How to solve the land problem in Ganzhou is the key to stabilizing Ganzhou.

Cui Tao said: "If you want to solve the problem in Ganzhou, you still need to implement the Yabing Lieutenant System. Your Highness, please send Yabing to Ganzhou Township to serve as Lichang."

"Yes." Li Yan immediately agreed. The player village chief system has been successful in Shazhou, Guazhou, and Xizhou. Now there are quite a few players who want to buy village chief qualifications, but there are not many vacancies. Players complained a lot.

Zeng Mu, who is in charge of Suzhou, also proposed to the Bafu to promote player village chiefs in Suzhou. In this case, the villages of Suzhou and Ganzhou should be rectified, and players should be allowed to serve as village chiefs.

Li Yan asked again: "But if you want to solve the problem in Ganzhou, you can't solve it when you grow up in the army. The lonely king needs a stable Ganzhou now."

Cui Tao immediately understood Li Yan's meaning. Now that Hexi Jiedu envoy Fang Guan's reputation has collapsed, even Liangzhou, where the Hexi Jiedu envoy's mansion is located, is about to lose control.

Before the imperial court sent a new envoy, if Liangzhou could be controlled in one fell swoop, it would be tantamount to swallowing Hexi completely and mastering the passage into and out of the Central Plains.

For Cui Tao, who has always been advocating eastward advancement, "all Hexi" is an important part of his strategy, so it is natural to occupy Liangzhou without delay, and Ganzhou must be stabilized as soon as possible.

Cui Tao came up with his own thinking strategy, and he said to Li Yan: "Your Highness, to solve the problem in Ganzhou, I think we should start from the racecourse."

"Horse field? Does the lonely king want to change the horse to a mulberry?" Li Yan frowned, he had an instinctive resistance to changing the horse to a mulberry.

Now that the horse government is corrupted for some benefits, it will take more effort to restore it in the future.

This is equivalent to selling property when you are short of money. When you have money in the future, you will need to spend more money to redeem it.

What's more, the horse administration needs long-term accumulation and slow construction. If the horse farm is really converted into farmland, although the land tax will be increased for a while, it will be difficult to recover in the future.

Cui Tao said: "I am not going to continue to implement the transformation of horses into mulberry in Ganzhou, but to develop animal husbandry in Ganzhou!"

"Livestock?"

Cui Tao said: "The horse farms near Zhangye City are all high-quality pastures. These pastures can be used not only to raise horses, but also to raise cattle and sheep."

In fact, Cui Tao has long been preparing to develop the political planning of the four counties in Hexi. For this, he not only consulted his mentor Fang Guoshou, but also consulted many professionals.

Among them, a senior majoring in animal husbandry at the same school as him proposed to him a plan to develop animal husbandry.

The horse farms in Zhangye are also high-quality pastures. If animal husbandry can be developed in Zhangye, it can effectively stimulate the economy of Zhangye and solve social conflicts in Ganzhou.

After all, development is the best way to solve all social problems.

For this matter, Cui Tao specially spent contribution points to redeem the qualification for the Nine Tests for this senior.

The senior named Zheng Zhonghe entered the game happily, doing odd jobs in Shazhou City, accumulating contribution points to become a lord in Ganzhou, and determined to promote the animal husbandry industry in Longyou.

Cui Tao has made up his mind that as long as he takes office in Ganzhou, he will bring Zheng Zhonghe to Ganzhou to develop the animal husbandry industry in Ganzhou.

Cui Tao took out the plan he discussed with Zheng Zhonghe and said:
"In fact, today's grassland grazing does not make full use of grasslands. Moreover, animal husbandry includes not only livestock breeding, but also milk, wool, meat and other products. This is an industry with great potential and can also drive many people. get rich."

Zheng Zhonghe studied animal husbandry. After learning about the game Datang Fengyun, he clamored to establish modern animal husbandry in the game.

Animal husbandry is also a rather complicated subject. Modern animal husbandry includes a series of technologies such as artificial breeding, forage planting, optimization of miscellaneous species, and dairy product manufacturing and processing.

The animal husbandry industry is also the upstream of multiple industries such as meat, dairy products, and wool textiles, and it can be said that it has huge development potential.

Zheng Zhonghe's master's degree is hybrid breeding, which specializes in complex breeding of new breeds of dairy cows.

It's a pity that this industry is too complicated nowadays, and the varieties that can be cross-bred have been researched almost. After graduation, Zheng Zhonghe may go to a dairy company to be a researcher, and get a salary of several thousand yuan on the grassland. The "happy" life of cattle and sheep can be seen in the grass.

Entering the game this time gave Zheng Zhonghe a new opportunity. Nowadays, there are many players relying on Datang Fengyun as self-media, and many of them have made money.

If Zheng Zhonghe can record videos in the game to open a ranch, it will definitely attract many viewers, not to mention that if he can earn contribution points like Cui Tao, he can make a lot of money just by selling test qualifications.

Although Li Yan doesn't understand the potential of modern animal husbandry, he still plans to let Cui Tao try it.

The next day, Cui Tao, who was originally the Sima of the overlord's government, was transferred to Ganzhou.

Li Yan personally bestowed Cui Tao with a battle of integrity, which could appoint and dismiss all the officials in Ganzhou.

Just when Jianning Wangba Mansion was developing eastward with all its strength, the business group of the Street Lamp Pendant Union finally arrived in Kucha.
