The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Chapter 020: Benefits of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

.

spnps: The first update arrives!

Although the Tibetan rebellion was quickly suppressed, the subsequent development was beyond Jiang Yu and Jiang Fangzhen's expectations.

Rebellions have emerged one after another in various areas of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

And the rebellion is spreading.

"Damn, what's going on?" Jiang Yu was a little depressed after receiving the news. He thought that the transfer of [-] troops to Tibet would be able to deter those serf farmers, but he actually put out a rebellion and another rebellion appeared. Or massive rebellion. [

"Commander, our reform in Tibet touched the interests of those serf farmers, so they all jumped out to rebel." Jiang Fangzhen said quickly, "However, these serf owners' armed rebellion has not many supporters, and their equipment is backward. And there is no support from foreign forces, so it is still very easy to suppress them."

"Master, this is a good thing!" Zhou Zhengye said suddenly.

"What kind of good thing is this?" Jiang Yu looked at Zhou Zhengye in confusion and asked, is this a good thing?

Zhou Zhengye rubbed his hands and said, "Marshal, you still don't know how much money xx thirteen left when he ran away! He alone left 9500 million taels of silver, 16 taels of gold, and There are more than 2 pieces of jewelry and jade, and more than 1 pieces of precious silk, satin and fur, including more than 100 cloaks inlaid with pearls and gems.

"In addition, in the Lhasa region alone, the three major monasteries of Drepung Monastery, Sera Monastery, and Ganden Monastery lend grain every year, earning an annual interest of 798728 catties; depositing Tibetan silver, earning an annual interest of 1402380 taels. In the entire Qinghai-Tibet area, these monasteries rely on usury every year. It will charge 300 million taels of interest."

"I'm going, so much money in Tibet? I knew it would have been taken a few years ago." Jiang Yu couldn't help being dumbfounded. He always thought that there was no money in Tibet, so he had no interest in it all the time.

"Of course there is money. Every year there are merchants who go to trade there. Herbal medicines, furs, blankets, etc. are continuously imported into the provinces. And because of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, all cultivated land, pastures, forests, mountains, rivers, river beaches, and most of the livestock. They are all occupied by the three major lords of officials, nobles, and upper-level monks in monasteries and their agents, which account for about 5% of the population. "Chaba" (people who receive allotment of land and serve as servants to serf owners), accounting for about 90% of the population of Tibet, "Duiqiong" (meaning smoking small households) are serfs. They have no means of production and personal freedom, and make a living by farming allotments. About 5% of "Langsheng" are slaves from generation to generation, and they are regarded as "talking slaves". tools". Therefore, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has little demand for the goods produced by the Han people, but the Han people have a relatively large demand for the goods produced in Qinghai-Tibet, so a trade deficit has formed. Silver, jewelry and jade are constantly accumulating on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau."

"In addition, the British colonization did not go to Tibet. Although the British sent troops to Tibet, they did not take away much. At the same time, the goods of the British could not be sold, so the wealth accumulated on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is still retained. on."

"It seems that there is really a lot of money." Jiang Yu couldn't help being moved.

"So the more rebellions, the better. Anyway, there are no Han people there, and there is not much loss from the rebellion." Zhou Zhengye laughed. "If you are black-hearted, you can block the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau first, and communist all the 5% of the rulers..."

"Hmm! Wealth cannot be concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, let's get rid of them! Then use the money for the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the people in the Qinghai-Tibet area." Jiang Yu said awe-inspiringly.

When the money is spent on building the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, big projects are naturally taken over by the consortium, and the money is still earned by the consortium and the workers.

Use the money to build large-scale projects on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.The construction of railways, highways, water conservancy and other facilities can create many jobs, and the people in the Qinghai-Tibet area will have jobs, thus have food to eat, and completely get rid of the plight of borrowing money to survive.

"Subordinates understand." Zhou Zhengye smiled, tacit understanding!

After a while, Jiang Yu went home.

When he got home, Jiang Yu picked up the phone and called Zhou Ziyue.

Jiang Yu discussed with Zhou Ziyue on the phone about monopolizing commercial interests on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.There are also many minerals on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

In addition, there are things like Tibetan medicine, fur, and agricultural and animal husbandry products, all of which are beneficial to monopolize.

Cordyceps resources are the most well-known Tibetan medicines. For this reason, Zhou Ziyue suggested that the country directly introduce protection policies so that Cordyceps can be developed for a long time. [

There are also things like cattle consumption, which are also exploitable agricultural resources.

In short, there are still many business opportunities on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Soon after, the consortium formed a Tibetan plateau trading group.It specializes in monopolizing the trade of various special products in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region.

On the road, roads, railways, and airports began to be built.

At present, the main transportation is still by plane. At this time, the Republic of China can produce its own transport planes, so although the transportation in the Qinghai-Tibet area is not so convenient.But it is not isolated from the world. The establishment of civil aviation routes makes it more convenient for people to come and go, but the transportation of materials has to wait for the road to be repaired before it can be carried out on a large scale.

As for the railway, let's plan for now!Railways are indeed more difficult to repair.By developing Qinghai-Tibet, the consortium can gain a lot of benefits.

First establish civil aviation, and at the same time start to develop tourism resources, so that civil aviation will not lose money.

……

Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Shannan.

Several big serf owners were gathering, and they hid in the house, discussing something in a low voice.

"Damn the government of the Republic of China, they want to confiscate all our land, cattle and sheep, and abolish our usury IOUs, and then distribute these things to those poor and poor, and let us have them all."

One of the big serf owners named 'Dawa' incited loudly that Dawa owns ten manors and thirty pastures in the Shannan area, has more than 800 serfs and herdsmen, and can squeeze more than 11000 grams of highland barley every year (1 gram is equivalent to 14 kilograms), 900 grams of ghee, more than 60 taels of Zang silver, 80 heads of cattle and sheep, and [-] rolls of pulu.

These farms and ranches can bring him huge profits every year, because the serfs do not need to be paid, and through means such as loan lending, they squeeze the resources that the serfs can enjoy to the minimum.Thus, all output belongs to one person.

"What's even worse is that they deprive even the most humble Langsheng. Maybe we will have to salute a Langsheng when we meet him on the street in the future." Dawa continued to instigate, and Langsheng also They are slaves, who are regarded as talking tools in Tibet at this time.

"Dawa, do you have a solution?" A serf owner named Basang asked aloud.

"Yes. We reversed."

Dawa's words shocked the serf owners present. They all stared at Dawa's face. Basang said in horror, "Are you crazy? The court will kill us."

"Basang, there is no court anymore, it is the Republic of China now. They no longer think about our interests, what they have to do is to destroy us. First confiscate the land, cattle and sheep, and then confiscate all our property. Even Our women will also be confiscated..." In order to incite these serf farmers to rebel, Dawa began to spread rumors.

Immediately, the serf farmers exclaimed, their faces full of disbelief.

"Then are we really going to rebel?" A serf farm owner asked hesitantly.

Dawa waved his hand fiercely, and said loudly: "We have no way out. If we don't turn back, we will definitely die. But if we turn back, there is still a glimmer of hope. And I have received the latest news, xx Thirteenth The war to expel the government of the Republic of China has been launched in Lhasa, and I think it will soon lead to victory under his guidance. Long live the xx Living Buddha..."

"Long live xx Living Buddha..."[

Those serf farmers shouted slogans one after another.

"Inverted."

"Inverted……"

"It's the other way around!"

Filled with righteous indignation, these serf farmers pulled out their Kham Tibetan knives and roared wildly.

"Kill the Chinese, we want independence." Dawa, as a large serf owner, officially shouted this slogan when the interests generated by the traditional model of oppressing serfs could not be guaranteed.

"Kill all the Chinese..."

Other serf owners were also re-ignited to rebel.

"Okay. Let's split up and go back to prepare, recruit all Chaba and Duicong who can fight, first deal with the armed police in Shannan, and then attack the Chinese army." Dawa then said loudly, "I think the battle in Lhasa is now We are almost on the verge of victory, if we can make contributions, xx Living Buddha will definitely reward us and pray for us..."

"We'll go back and get ready."

A group of serf owners soon dispersed.The cloud of a rebellion immediately shrouded the sky over the Shannan area, and these serf farmers didn't even know the rebellion in the Lhasa area, and it was eliminated in a very short period of time.

It's no wonder that the speed of information transmission is not so convenient these days.

Although the Chinese garrison received the news from the radio station, they did not announce it to the Shannan area. This made the serf owners naively believe that the rebellion in Lhasa had succeeded.

In fact, it failed long ago.

XX XIII left a pile of treasures and left India in an emergency before he even had time to pack up many treasures.Hope to rely on the help of Britain, the world leader, to win the game.

Before that, xx had traveled to India once and had contact with the UK.

In his mind, Britain, as the world leader, must surely make the government of the Republic of China succumb.

……

Liu Zhengming is the captain of the Armed Police Brigade.It is equivalent to a battalion-level establishment. It came to the Shannan area to be stationed three months ago and is responsible for the security management of the Shannan area.

After arriving here, Liu Zhengming immediately applied for a group of military personnel to come to the Shannan area to monitor the local big farmers.

Soon he discovered the gathering activities of these serf owners.

"Captain, there's just been a rebellion in Lhasa. It's definitely not a good thing for them to have a rally now, why don't we take them out now?" A squadron leader immediately suggested.

"No, we don't have any evidence that they are going to rebel, and they can't act without authorization, but it is indeed a special period." Liu Zhengming walked back and forth a few times, then turned around and said, "Well, report the situation to the detachment immediately. In addition, immediately Send people to arrest several serf owners for interrogation."

"Yes." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to read.)
