- ¡°Hu~hu~¡±
The howling cold wind was raging across the vast grasslands like ghosts crying and wolves howling. Under the white-haired wind, the ground was covered with thick white snow. The weather was extremely cold, and the field of vision was also very poor. It was impossible to see clearly even a few meters away.
¡°It¡¯s snowing too much!¡±
At the foot of a leeward mountain, a series of yurts are gathered together, inhabited by more than a dozen families of herders, who gather together to spend the winter.
Ji Rentai was drinking hot milk tea and looking at the howling cold wind outside, his whole person was full of worry.
The white-haired wind is what herdsmen are most afraid of encountering, because often after a heavy snowfall, a large area of ??their cattle and sheep will freeze to death, causing heavy losses.
"Yes, it is indeed too big!"
Binta on the side nodded and said: "Even though the world is good now, if there was such a white-haired wind in the past, I don't know how many cattle and sheep would freeze to death, and I don't know how many would starve to death in the next spring." people."
??Binta is older, already in his fifties. On the grassland, this age is considered a long life.
While drinking milk tea, he recalled the past.
"Grandpa, why do people starve to death?"
"Without cattle and sheep, we can still eat rice and noodles."
Next to Binta, his youngest grandson Li Duoer, who is only five years old now, asked in confusion.
"Haha, where was the rice and noodles to eat at that time?"
"At that time, we and the Han people in the south were not the same family. The tribal leaders on our grasslands would often take us south to rob the Han people, and the Han people would also rise up to resist us."
"The relationship between the two sides was very bad, so the Han people would not sell anything to us at that time. We couldn't buy the salt, tea, sugar, rice, and noodles we eat now."
"At that time, an iron pot could be exchanged for two horses, and a pound of salt could be exchanged for several of our sheep. But even so, it was difficult for us ordinary herdsmen to obtain these things."牺如 &# 109iaoshuyuan.com 牺如
"Winter is the saddest time for us. When the white-haired wind comes, a large number of our cattle and sheep will be frozen to death. By the next day, a large number of cattle and sheep will be frozen to death, and they cannot be kept fresh. , we will have no cattle and sheep to eat, and people will naturally starve to death."
Binta touched his grandson¡¯s head and recalled those long years.
¡°The winter at that time was really extremely long, so long that it made people panic.¡±
"Oh~"
"Then why are the Han people willing to sell these things to us now?"
Li Duoer thought for a while and asked again.
"Haha, that's because we are a family now."
"We, like the Han people, are now the subjects of the Emperor of Heaven, so there is no distinction between us. We sell cattle, sheep and horses to them, and they sell us tea, grain, salt, iron pots, etc. In this way If that happens, the Han people will have beef and mutton to eat, and we will also be able to drink milk tea and eat rice and noodles."
When Binta heard this, he smiled and said.
"Isn't this nice?"
"Then why wasn't it like this before?"
After listening to this, Li Duoer thought for a while and said with some confusion.
"Haha, yes, this is good, so we grassland people should live in harmony with the Han people, so that both of us will be better off."
Binta smiled and nodded.
As an old man, he once followed the Great Khan southward to plunder the Han people.
It was also returned, but he always lived a poor life.
An iron pot, a pound of salt, a pound of tea, food for winter, etc., these things are still luxuries for low-level herdsmen like them.
No matter how much you grab from the south, everything will be consumed quickly, and it will still become very sad in winter.
But now, they don¡¯t need to pick up machetes and bows. They only need to graze cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland to live the good life they dreamed of before. ãá reduce 75z*w.com ãá
There are many iron pots at home. You can use them casually. If they break, you don¡¯t need to bring them to replace them. You can just go to the nearest town to buy new ones.
Tea, salt, and grain are all very cheap. Just buy some cattle and sheep and you can get a lot, a lot, even a lot.Li Hanchen nodded with satisfaction, and then explained his purpose of coming this time.
Being an official on the grasslands is not an easy task. The imperial court has particularly high requirements for officials in the grassland, Western Regions, Nanyun, Northwest, Central Asia and other provinces. The most important one is to pay attention to unity and care about the living conditions of minority tribes. Solve some major problems in a timely manner.
"Thank you, Emperor, for your concern for us. We are so grateful and so frightened~"
When Binta, Ji Rentai and others heard this, they immediately said excitedly, and after speaking, they also knelt down in the direction of the capital in the south.
To be honest, since the grassland was included in the Ming Dynasty, their lives have not only become better, but they can also feel the attention from the imperial court.
"In the past, the nobles, leaders, and khans of various tribes would not care about the life and death of these herdsmen at the bottom. In their eyes, these herdsmen at the bottom are soldiers, slaves, and property.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The emperor will miss the herdsmen on the grassland every time, and worry about whether they will have a good winter, not enough to eat, not enough to wear warm clothes, etc.
The reason why the grassland was able to settle down quickly was that, in addition to bringing the leaders and nobles of the grassland tribes to live in the Beijing-Tianjin area, the most important reason was that after the annexation to the Ming Dynasty, the lives of the herdsmen on the grassland really changed. alright.
Life is more prosperous, there are no wars between tribes, and it is very stable. Who wouldn¡¯t live a life like this (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
