Chastity Layman

  Chapter 1234 Feng Chan North Pole

   Dubo, also known as Dubo, also known as Tuwa, is also known as one of the Tiele tribes.

  The governor of Jiankun, who was eager to perform meritorious service, Shi Bo Qu Azhan patted his chest and said that Dubo people are too ignorant of flattery and must be punished. He is willing to be a vanguard.

After discussing with Su Dingfang, Gao Kan, etc., Li Daozong believed that the main reason why Dubo refused to submit was that Chebi Khan Ashina Hubo also adopted the method of marriage and marriage with them, and married his daughter. He gave it to the leader, and let one of his sons marry the leader's daughter, and sent the son to Dubo as a prison country.

  Maybe because of this, all broadcasts are not attached.

  Shibo Qu Azhan's performance was not entirely loyal. He obviously wanted to take the opportunity to annex Dubo and incorporate it into his own territory.

  So after some discussions.

  Su Dingfang announced that the new Tanglu Dudu Mansion will be established to command the land of Dubo.

  The origin of the name Tanglu is that Su Dingfang officially named the mountain in the south of Dubo as Tangluling to replace the original name of Dubo.

  The name of the prefecture is named after the mountain, and the Tanglu Dudu Mansion is set up.

  Tie Bo Qu A Zhan's little intention was interrupted, but there was nothing he could do.

  The Tang army headed north, led by Jie Gubu who was familiar with the northern terrain, and they quickly found the camp where the leader of Dubo was stationed, which was located on the south bank of the Yanghe River in the upper reaches of the Jianhe River.

  Here, the Dubo Tribe did not expect that the Tang army would arrive so quickly, with so many soldiers and horses.

  They tried to resist under the order of the son of Ashina Hubo.

  But temporarily unable to gather enough troops from the various tribes in the mountain forest, Su Dingfang brought Ashina Hubo and his son who accompanied the army to the camp to persuade them to surrender.

  Car Nose Khan Ashina Hubo rode on the horse, looked at his son in the opposite camp, and loudly persuaded him to surrender.

  He told his son that the emperor had pardoned his crimes and granted him the post of General Youwuwei.

   Facing the Tang Dynasty surrounded on all sides, the Dubo tribe finally surrendered without a fight.

  The leader of the Jiegu tribe invited Tang Jun to go north and cross Tanman Mountain to reach his tribe, but was rejected by Su Dingfang.

For Tang Jun, the main purpose of sending troops this time is to kill Chebi Khan who dared to provoke and destroy the enfeoffment system of Mobei in the Tang Dynasty, and to carry out a strong force deterrence against the tribes in Moxi. It is enough to achieve the goal. .

   No need to waste any more time.

  Su Dingfang and others climbed Tanman Mountain and Tangluling successively, and ordered the artisans accompanying the army to erect steles to record the results of their use of troops this time. The inscriptions were in three languages: Han, Tu, and Sogdian.

  After offering sacrifices to the mountain, the army withdrew.

  Jiegu Department set up Jiankun Dudufu, Dubobu set Tanglu Dudufu, Baximibu set Xinli Dudufu.

Then the three surnames of Ge Luolu were used to set up Yinshan, Damo, Xuanchi, Jinfuzhou, and Langshan, plus the Juque, Zhulong, and Juyanzhou. After this battle, Mobei started from Jinshan ( Altai Mountains), east to Daxianbei Mountains (Daxing’an Mountains), north to Xiaohai (Baikal Lake), and south to the desert, forming a pattern of thirty-six governors’ mansions, more than 200 states, and more than 700 counties, all of which belong to the northern governor of Zhenbei government.

   Even Mobei is flat.

  Emperor also called this as Huihui Tianyu, Yaowei Yunshuo. Collect its vast sea, put it into Tifeng, untie its braids, and hang its crown.

  Su Dingfang, Li Daozong, Gao Kan, Xue Rengui, Xiao Siye, etc. were all awarded for their meritorious service.

   Li Daozong's class teacher returned to the court, and brought thousands of children from the governors and governors of Mobei with him. They went to the capital of the Central Plains, where they would study abroad, study in the Imperial College, or serve as guards in the Imperial Army to show their loyalty.

Su Dingfang Jin became the duke of the state, and he has only been busy with one thing, which is to connect the thirty-six governors' mansions in Mobei and more than two hundred states with post roads, set up post stations along the way, and connect the Central Plains, so that Mobei and Datang and the Central Plains are more closely connected.

  At the same time, through this post road, the trade between the Central Plains and Mobei will be more prosperous.

Su Dingfang once wrote to Qin Lang, asking for advice on how to better manage Mobei. Qin Lang had a saying that impressed him deeply. The nomadic people in the grasslands of Mobei are most powerful when they are hit by disasters. The more fierce. Simply put, the poorer the nomads are, the fiercer they are.

  If they live richly, their fighting power will be weak.

  Through demarcation and enfeoffment, plus trade, the nomads in Mobei will continue to lose their combat effectiveness. As long as the current policy is unswervingly implemented, Mobei will no longer be a threat.

  As long as you keep an eye on those ambitious people who dare to cross the border and dare to take the lead, and immediately suppress them mercilessly as soon as they appear, you will be free from worries.

  The post roads are getting longer and longer. Thirty-six capitals have been connected. Now they are going to connect all the more than 200 states. In the future, they will connect to more than 700 counties and more townships.

  Now with these post stations, a steady stream of Central Plains merchants are heading north.

Tea, salt, sugar and wine, silk, porcelain, and even various ironware, and many Confucian scholars, monks, and Taoist priests kept coming. They got the support of the court, and they taught scriptures and Dharma here, and persuaded the tribal leaders and nobles to support them. Support the establishment of temples, academies, and Taoist temples.

  Convince the nomads to believe in themselves.

Su Dingfang reached an agreement with the leaders of the prefectures and prefectures to agree on tariffs. All the goods from the Central Plains to the north are prohibited from being collected by prefectures and prefectures, that is, tariffs. Only the Metropolitan Government has the right to collect tariffs. The tax rate is two per thousand dollars. Ten, actually two percent.

   All Central Plains merchants entering Mobei will only be levied once.

This tax is collected by the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and then one-third is turned over to the national treasury, one third is kept in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the other third is divided into two parts, half of which is used for the annual post road and league expenses, The other half will be distributed to the prefectures. Thirty-six prefectures and more than two hundred states have shares.

  The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is levied, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is divided, and other prefectures have no right to expropriate.

In the entire Mobei area, all commercial transactions are subject to a 3% residence tax, also known as a transaction tax. This tax is collected by whoever trades on the site, and one-third of the income tax is turned over to the national treasury. The rest of the prefectures are owned.

  Mobei unified tax rate, prohibited arbitrary tax increases, and stipulated that everyone from the governor to the governor to the ordinary herdsmen had to pay taxes, and there was no reduction or exemption.

   Prohibition of tax collection in various places is also to avoid plucking wild gooses. At that time, all parties will set up tax collection, which will inevitably seriously affect trade. However, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will take the initiative to share the tax revenue with various ministries, which is also to compensate them.

  In addition to the industrial and commercial tax, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion no longer collects other taxes, such as herdsmen grazing and breeding, etc., and will not collect any cow leg tax or the like.

  The Metropolitan Government hopes to expand the market size of Mobei Trade and increase the transaction volume.

From a certain point of view, the imperial court hopes that Mobei will eventually become a supplier of cattle, horses and livestock in the Central Plains, a supplier of milk and meat, a supplier of furs, and also a sales area for handmade goods such as tea, porcelain, needlework, and even make the pastoral area the currency of the Tang Dynasty. The circulation area controls Mobei through economic forms.

  The last thing is to let the tribes become pure herdsmen, raise cattle and sheep, shear wool and sell skins, and prevent them from having the opportunity to make salt, iron, etc., and prevent them from having their own handicraft industry.

Even armaments have to be controlled slowly through arms sales, so that they lose their manufacturing capabilities and can only buy them from Datang. The court has the final say.

  The plan is very long-term, but judging from the effect of the current implementation, it is surprisingly good.

Anyway, the tribes stopped fighting and lived their lives honestly. The herdsmen herded sheep and the noble heads were busy reselling merchants as second-hand dealers. They not only earned money from the herdsmen under their hands, but also earned a tax At the same time, the taxes that the herdsmen should pay to them are also indispensable.

  The nobles found that they are very rich now, and the money keeps increasing, and with this money, they can buy all kinds of good things they want. On the grassland, they can also enjoy the luxurious life of the nobles in the Central Plains.

  Even if you encounter any heavy snowstorm, sandstorm, etc., you don’t have to be afraid anymore. You can buy food from the Metropolitan Governor’s Mansion, and the price will not be robbed. You don’t have to rob and fight like before.

   In the past, on the grasslands, the weak preyed on the strong.

  When powerful overlords such as the Huns and Turks appeared on the grassland, other tribes would have a hard time except for the overlords, because they would be oppressed and bullied, and all kinds of taxes would be spread on their heads. And even if there is a powerful overlord who dominates the grassland, sometimes there will be conflicts and wars among the tribes, especially in the event of a catastrophe, the big tribe will even directly rob the small tribe.

Even if you meet the powerful Khan who doesn't rob other tribes, he can take everyone south to the Central Plains to rob, but he still has to fight with the Central Plains. It is better when the Central Plains is divided, and it is easier to grab things. When the Central Plains is also unified, often going south to rob will become a tough battle, the casualties will be very heavy, and the injured are often always small tribes.

   And if the grassland has no overlord, it will be even more terrifying if it enters a period of turmoil and division. Everyone is in danger and fears every day.

   What's more terrible is that the turmoil in the grassland will also make it difficult for commercial goods to circulate. There will be fewer Central Plains goods entering the grassland, and the price will be more expensive, while the cattle, sheep, livestock, fur, etc. in the hands of the tribes will be difficult to sell.

Since the establishment of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, after Tumidu and Ashina Hubo said Khan was defeated and pacified, the entire Mobei is now very stable, and the boundaries are clearly drawn. Not only are the major tribes divided, but the tribes There are also boundaries between the various families.

  Conflicts will be resolved through the mediation of alliances at all levels.

  No one will easily provoke a war, and they will be attacked by groups. The most important thing is that now there is a large influx of commercial goods, which are of high quality and low price. The prices of tea, salt, sugar and wine, silk cloth, even rice noodles, and needlework, iron pots and wooden bowls are all a fraction or even a tenth of what they used to be. .

   It is very convenient to trade now.
