Chapter 749: Is Raising Sheep Of Great Value To The Central Plains Court? Is The Value Of Raising Sh
Listening to Yan Changqing's story about King Zhu Ju of Zhou, I suddenly discovered another new blind spot:
"If raising sheep is so profitable, why are the Hulu in northern Xinjiang still so poor?!!"
"After all, according to what Mr. Wang said, if tens of millions of sheep are raised in Northern Xinjiang, then the total of mutton, wool, and sheep cheese can bring in at least more than 20 million yuan in fiscal revenue a year.
"Fifteen years before Hongwu, the total fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty was only about 20 million yuan a year."
"If those barbarians could raise more cattle and sheep, they might be richer than the Ming Dynasty fifteen years ago, so why would they go south to plunder the Ming Dynasty?!"
"But in fact, the remaining tribes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in northern Xinjiang always peeked at the wealth of the Central Plains because of the barren grasslands, and finally chose to go south to plunder.'"
After hearing the words of Zhou Wang Zhu Xi, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but think along Zhou Wang Zhu Xi's train of thought.
Yes, from what Yan Changqing just said, we can know that the wealth contained in Northern Xinjiang is indeed no less than that of the Central Plains, at least no less than that of the Ming Dynasty fifteen years ago in Hongwu!
If raising sheep is so profitable, then wouldn’t it be good for those barbarians in northern Xinjiang to just obediently raise sheep on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang?!!
Why do the remnants of the Northern Yuan tribes in Northern Xinjiang have to find opportunities to go south to plunder the Ming Dynasty from time to time?!!
It would be fine if they could defeat the Ming Dynasty and gain greater benefits from plundering southward.
At least this kind of raiding south is beneficial to them.
But in fact, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, except for the second Northern Expedition, due to insufficient preparation and insufficient understanding of northern Xinjiang, the Northern Expedition failed.
In each of the other Northern Expeditions, basically the remnant tribes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in northern Xinjiang were beaten by the Ming army and could not find their way to the north.
In addition to sending batches of heads to Ming Dynasty, the most they could do was to plunder a little bit of wealth while Ming Dynasty was not paying attention at first.
But compared with the overall gains and losses, it is obvious that the losses are greater than the gains.
You can’t really think about overthrowing the Ming Dynasty again and rebuilding the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty with such a small amount of troops, right?!!
Maybe the royal tribes of the former Beiyuan Royal Court would have this idea, but the other remaining tribes of Beiyuan will definitely not have this idea again.
At least now that the Ming Dynasty was first established and at its peak, they would not have this idea.
For the other remaining tribes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, ensuring the survival, continuation, development and growth of their own tribes is the most important thing.
However, it is clear that ensuring the survival, development and continuation of their own tribes is the most important thing. Other remaining tribes in the Northern 920 Yuan Dynasty also chose to look for opportunities to go south to plunder Yinming from time to time.
So at this moment, both Zhou Wang Zhu Ji and Zhu Yuanzhang were a little confused about what the remaining tribes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were thinking. They could only look at Yan Changqing with doubts, hoping that Yan Changqing could give an answer. Answer.
And Yan Changqing did not disappoint them and explained:
"First of all, the first and most important point is that since the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was overthrown, the remaining tribes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were driven out of the Central Plains and retreated to the northern Xinjiang."
"The original ruling structure of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty has already regressed from the imperial ruling model of the past to the independent model of the grassland tribes."
"Although they still obey the Northern Yuan Dynasty on the surface, in fact the grassland tribes are similar to the small princes at the end of the Yuan Dynasty in the past.
"For them, only the people of their own tribe are their real people, and other tribes on the grassland, like the Ming Dynasty, are also one of the plunder targets of their tribe in a sense."
"In other words, if the various tribes on the grassland have sufficient benefits or their own strength is sufficient, then they will not mind attacking and annexing other tribes to strengthen their own tribe."
"They are even keen on attacking and annexing other tribes, and finally making their own tribe the new golden family on the grassland!"
"So under this situation, the overall environmental order of the northern Xinjiang grassland tribes is not peaceful and stable, but chaotic, with the weak and the strong preying on the strong, with large tribes attacking and annexing small tribes!
"Under such a general environment, it is impossible for each grassland tribe to want to raise sheep with peace of mind."
"Because even if you want to raise sheep with peace of mind and don't want to go to war with other tribes, how can you ensure that the people of other tribes think the same as you?!!"
"With each other's mutual suspicion, a melee between the tribes is inevitable."
"With all the fighting, who can raise sheep with peace of mind?"
"Even if there is no melee, in an environment where a melee may occur at any time, people cannot raise sheep with peace of mind."
"After all, once your tribe is defeated, no matter how many sheep your tribe raises, they will just become trophies for other people's banners."
"So under such circumstances, survival, continuation, development and strength are the first pursuits of our tribe, and raising sheep can only be ranked third at best.'
"Unless a new hero appears in the grassland again, he can truly unify the tribes like Yuan Taizu did in the past, and once again unify the grassland in the imperial model."
"In this way, it is possible for the tribes on the grasslands to put aside their suspicions of each other because they are unified and surrendered to the same empire. They do not have to worry about the survival of their own tribes, and they no longer have to regard survival, continuation, development and strength as their tribe's first pursuit. ”
"Because the existence of the empire itself is enough to protect the survival, continuation, development and strength of their tribe!"
"Similarly, only under such a peaceful and stable environment can the grassland tribes raise sheep raising to the top priority of their tribes, and can they truly raise tens of millions of sheep on the grassland! "
"Similarly, if the Ming Dynasty wanted to raise tens of millions of sheep and millions of cattle on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang."
"So no matter whether the Ming Dynasty chooses to completely wipe out the tribes on the grassland, or to surrender them, in short, the Ming Dynasty needs to ensure that the overall environment of the northern Xinjiang grassland is in a peaceful and stable state!"
“Only in this way can the northern Xinjiang grassland become a large pasture raising millions of sheep and millions of cattle!”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was already thinking about who to send to sweep the grassland. He would not allow anyone to stop or affect him from raising sheep in northern Xinjiang!!!
Even at this moment, Xian Yuanzhang was thinking about whether to move the capital to Beiping.
Although Yingtian Mansion is good, if we send troops to the grassland from Yingtian Mansion, or if we manage the grassland from Yingtian Mansion, it will be a bit beyond our reach.
But if the capital is moved to Beiping, then the Ming Dynasty's whip to govern northern Xinjiang will be longer, and at the same time, the management of the grasslands will be more in place!
Moreover, in the story I heard from Yan Changqing before, in which Zhu Di was the Yongle Emperor, Zhu Di also chose to move the capital to Peking in the end.
Although Zhu Di moved the capital to Peking not for raising sheep, but for other political considerations.
For example, it would be inconvenient for Yingtian Mansion, which is not Zhu Di's base, to have jurisdiction over all civil and military officials.
Another example is that it is more convenient to send troops from Peiping to the Northern Expedition, etc.
But putting aside those political considerations, at least from the perspective of moving the capital alone, it is possible to move the capital to Peking.
In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang himself actually had the idea of moving the capital, but he was busy with other things before, so he didn't really think about it seriously.
But now Zhu Yuanzhang began to seriously consider moving the capital.
On the podium, Yan Changqing finished the first point and then went on to the second point:
"I just mentioned the first point. The instability of the general environment makes it difficult for people to raise sheep with peace of mind.
"The second point is that the grassland tribes are nomadic peoples, not agricultural peoples."
"So the grassland people will make clothes from sheepskin, but if you want to make wool into wool thread and then weave it into clothes like linen thread and cotton, it is basically impossible."
"Firstly, the people in the grassland do not have the awareness of farming and weaving like the people in the Central Plains. It is difficult for them to realize that wool can also be made into wool thread, and then sewed into clothes like hemp thread and cotton."
"The second reason is that even if some grassland people realize that they can make wool into wool thread, and then weave it into clothes like hemp thread and cotton, they do not have the conditions to make wool (bhcg) into wool thread, and then weave it into clothes like hemp thread and cotton. Cotton is woven into clothes like that.”
"The simplest point is that for example, the people in the Central Plains basically have a loom and spinning wheel in every household for weaving, but it is impossible for the nomadic grassland people to have a loom and spinning wheel in every household."
"If every household in the grassland has a loom and spinning wheel, then they are no longer a nomadic people, but a farming people like the people in the Central Plains."
"Men farming and women weaving are an important symbol of the farming nation!"
"So for the people of the Central Plains and the imperial court of the Central Plains, wool is something that contains huge benefits like cotton and linen, and millions of dollars can be earned from it a year."
"But for the grassland people, it is basically the same as garbage to be discarded."
"At this time, if you go to the grassland to buy wool, in the eyes of the grassland people, it is equivalent to helping them collect garbage."
"Perhaps besides being free, the people on the grassland may give you something in return, just in case you don't come to help them dispose of the garbage next time!"
"Of course, the premise is that the grassland people don't know that wool is valuable to the people in the Central Plains."
"If they knew, that's a different story."
After hearing this, King Zhu Zhu of Zhou couldn't help but touch his chin and began to think about whether School Disciple should go to the grassland of Northern Xinjiang.
After all, according to what Yan Changqing said, the current wool is basically useless to the people in the grasslands of northern Xinjiang. He has made a profit by receiving it now!
Although he is not very short of money now, he will not resist this kind of thing where he can get money for nothing with just one trip. Anyway, there is no need for him to go to Beijiang to buy it in person.
On the podium, Yan Changqing continued:
"Third point, the reason why dry cheese made from goat's milk can be sold for tens of millions of dollars in the Central Plains is because goat's milk itself has the various benefits mentioned before.
“The most important thing is that Youyuan is not rich in goat milk!”
"That's why the people in the Central Plains chose to buy goat's milk, and the court was able to earn huge profits of tens of millions of dollars by buying and selling goat's milk cheese."
“But the people in northern Xinjiang, every household more or less raises cattle and sheep, and they drink fresh goat milk every day, let alone dry cheese.
"Under such circumstances, even if the people on the grassland produce a large amount of dry cheese, who can they sell to on the grassland in the end?!!"
"Only when things are sold can they be converted into money and profits can be obtained from them."
"But if something can't be sold, no matter how valuable it is, it will ultimately be nothing more than a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water, with no value at all.
“Just like the example of ‘potatoes hurting farmers’ that I told you before, if potatoes become rampant and every household grows potatoes, who can Houtu beans be sold to in the end?!!”
"If no one can sell the potatoes and can only keep them for ourselves to eat, then even if it is a high-yielding grain with an yield of thirty shi per mu, what will happen?
what?!!"
"It's also 'worthless. The value here refers to the value of buying and selling."
"The value of sheep's milk cheese to the grassland people is equivalent to the value of several years of Houtu beans to us. They are both precious, but worthless things."
"The fourth point is population!"
"The Central Plains has a population of 60 million people, so even if hundreds of millions of kilograms of goat milk cheese are thrown into the Central Plains market with a population of 60 million, the Central Plains can still rely on the tens of millions of people
The population of tens of millions of people can easily digest hundreds of millions of kilograms of goat's milk cheese.
"But the grassland is not good. The population of the people in the Northern Radium Grassland is only a few million people even if it is doubled."
"With a population of millions, if you want to digest hundreds of millions of kilograms of goat's milk cheese, you really have to eat goat's milk cheese for three meals a day and you don't know if you can finish it.
11
"So for the people of the Central Plains and the court of the Central Plains, tens of millions of sheep are raised in northern Xinjiang. In addition to the benefits of mutton, the people of the Central Plains and the court of the Central Plains can also get additional benefits.
The benefits of both wool and sheep's milk dry cheese. "
"But for the grassland people, they can only get benefits from mutton."
"And even if it's the income from mutton, what they can get is greatly reduced."
"Because for the people in the grassland, mutton can not only be sold for money, but more importantly, they also need to eat it themselves."
"And the part of the mutton they eat obviously cannot be sold for money."
"After deducting the portion of mutton they eat, there is obviously very little mutton left that can be sold for money."
"So for the Central Plains court and the people of the Central Plains, raising sheep on the grassland is a matter of huge value and profit, but for the grassland tribes, this is not the case."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhou Wang Zhu Xi both had a smile and a look of pride on their lips.
Only the Ming Dynasty and the people of the Central Plains could make huge profits from it, but the grassland tribes could not make huge profits from it. This made him
They have a unique sense of superiority.
And what does this mean?!!
This shows that God only loves the Central Plains and the Ming Dynasty!!!
Oh, Mr. Yan has overturned the "Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man". Heaven does not exist. Then let's put it another way: "The Central Plains is the best, and the Ming Dynasty is the best!"
