The sky is blue, the fields are vast, and the wind blows the grass, and you can see the cattle and sheep!
On the vast fertile grassland, on a north-south cement road, four-wheeled carriages were moving slowly. It was the season when water plants were abundant.
The sky in the grassland is very blue, as if it has been washed. On the endless grassland, the grass grows very high. From time to time, a gust of wind blows, bending the grass, revealing groups of cattle, sheep and horses grazing leisurely.
Occasionally, you can still hear the sad and desolate sound of the morinouqin played, as well as the high-pitched singing of the grassland herdsmen.
Since the Ming Dynasty completely defeated the little Tatar prince, conquered the grassland, and brought the grassland under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the nobles and leaders of the grassland tribes have basically moved to the Beijing and Tianjin areas.
The factors that affected the stability of the grassland were basically eliminated. In addition, the imperial court built a large number of grassland towns across the grassland. On the one hand, it was convenient for grassland herdsmen to purchase the necessary living materials and sell their cattle, sheep and horses. On the other hand, it also strengthened the stability of the grassland. The imperial court's rule over the grassland.
After a series of policy operations, the grassland completely lost the threat to the Daming Pass, but the herdsmen on the grassland lived a prosperous life that they had never had before.
The imperial court vigorously immigrated, including moving grassland herdsmen to other high-quality pastoral areas in the world. Australia and Golden Continent both have large areas of high-quality pastoral areas, and they have also become key areas for the immigration of grassland herdsmen.
Over the years, the imperial court insisted on immigrating from the grasslands to Australia and Golden Continent every year, which greatly reduced the population density on the grasslands. Originally, the population of grassland herders in the entire northern grassland was only around one million.
After years of immigration, the population on the grassland has been less than half of its original size.
For the remaining herdsmen, this means that there are more pastures for grazing, more cattle and sheep can be grazed, and life will naturally be better.
After all, the prices of cattle, sheep and horses are now quite affordable, and the income of grassland herdsmen is much higher than the income of ordinary people in the pass.
"The salt, tea, iron pots and other daily necessities needed by the herdsmen are very cheap, no different from those in the pass.
You must know that during the reign of the little Tatar prince, the Ming court prohibited trade with the grassland people because the little Tatar prince often detained the people and invaded the border.
It is often very difficult to obtain a pot, a pound of salt, and a pound of tea. The life of herdsmen on the grassland becomes very poor. In addition, they have to pay a large number of cattle, sheep, and horses to the nobles and leaders of the tribe. To respond to the leader's so-called war and so on, one can imagine the life of this grassland herdsman.
There is no comparison at all with now. This is one of the important reasons why the grassland is very stable now. No one wants to live with the good times.
"We have to walk faster~otherwise we won't be able to reach Horqin Town before sunset."
"Drive~"
Luo Ming is an official in Huairou County. This time, he and three colleagues were responsible for escorting dozens of prisoners to Beihai.
Regarding this errand, Luo Ming honestly didn't want to take it, but there was no other way. With a word from the official, the following errands would have their legs broken, even if they didn't want to go.
¡°It¡¯s time to speed up~¡±
"Drive~"
Beside Luo Ming, his colleague Peng Chao also urged the horses.
"The world is better now. The exiled prisoners all have carriages to ride on."
29306 For those who walk, if they are exiled for three thousand miles, many people will die of exhaustion on the road before they even reach the place of exile."
While driving the car, Luo Ming also chatted with his colleagues.
"That's right~"
"Before I came here, I went to the capital. My uncle worked in the government office in the capital. When he was young, he once escorted prisoners to Yunnan and Guizhou."
"Oh, I have been walking for several months, and I have worn out several pairs of shoes. This trip back and forth is really not something that humans do."
There were colleagues around him who also nodded and said.
"So, the world is better now. Prisoners like them don't have to walk, and we, the officials, don't have to walk either."
Luo Ming smiled and nodded, looking back at the people in the carriage.
ãá minus 7*5z w .com ãá. This time, the Sun family in Huairou County was completely overthrown by the trustworthy magistrate and beheaded, and most of the remaining ones were sentenced to exile in Beihai.
 ?Spent the night on the grassland.
Sun Xue stepped out of the four-wheeled carriage and looked curiously at the town in front of her.
This is a typical prairie town. It is small in scale and the city walls are not high. There are also a large number of herdsmen gathered around the town. These herdsmen drive their cattle, sheep and horses here to sell, so that the air is full of mist. Smells like livestock.
From time to time, you can see herdsmen entering and exiting the town in small groups, with smiles on their faces, either purchasing supplies, or going to restaurants owned by Han people to have a good meal, drink, etc.
In the small town, you can see a series of small high-rise buildings made of reinforced concrete. As night falls, some of them have already started to light up. Various glass lamps and glass windows give them a unique look.
Soon, people in the town also noticed Sun Xue and others, and looked over curiously.
"It must be another prisoner exiled to Beihai."
"Yes, that's right, last time I saw a group of people wearing the same white clothes heading to Beihai under the escort of several officials."
"I heard that the imperial court wanted to develop the Beihai area, but no one was willing to go, so we had to exile these prisoners to Beihai."
"I don't know what they did. They are all old people, women and children. They look very pitiful."
Mi He Mi. "He must have committed something serious, otherwise the world would be pardoned under this general amnesty, and women and children would not be affected."
