Chapter 782 Something happened to Xixia again
The benefits are obtained, and the governance of the grasslands and the construction of the post-war order are also urgent matters.

In order to put the action plan into practice and obtain a larger area of ​​grassland for raising war horses, cattle and sheep, and preparing for the next industrial upgrade, Su Yonglin has another idea.

Since it is inconvenient to go over the territories of Wang Gu and Tatar to govern the territories of Kled and Qiyan, then simply come to a replacement territory.

In exchange for the territory of the same scale, the territory of the original Wanggu and Tatar, which are close to the territory of Daming, let them move north into the hinterland of the grassland. Originally, their territory was directly under the jurisdiction of Daming.

The grassland territories of the Kelie and Qiyan tribes obtained through the war naturally belonged to Daming. If Daming wanted to occupy it, then the Wanggu tribe and the Tatar tribe would not have any opinion. This is a matter of course.

But directly occupying the grasslands across these two tribes is not an easy thing for Daming. The transportation cost and governance cost will be ridiculously high, but if you don't occupy it, isn't it equivalent to making a wedding dress for others?

Therefore, Su Yonglin felt that it would be better to have a space exchange, one exchange for one, you will not suffer, and I will also gain some, which is equal and reciprocal.

Exchange the grasslands of the Kelie and Qiyan tribes for the grasslands of the Wanggu and Tatar tribes, allowing the Wanggu and Tatar tribes to move further north, and the Ming forces also further enter the grasslands and control more grasslands for resettlement A large number of war horses and cattle and sheep were seized this time.

The expansion of the grassland territory also makes it easier for Su Yonglin to set up a formal administrative area for arranging breeding and grazing work, and can also use this prairie as a barrier to the interior of the Ming Dynasty to establish a new line of defense outside the Great Wall defense line.

The defense line is a little farther from the essence zone, not so close. Although it is said that the emperor guards the country's gate, but the emperor really always guards the country's gate, and the enemy always pushes the front line to the capital city.
It is the best policy to keep the enemy out of the country.

With such thoughts in mind, Su Yonglin ordered Wu Ge, the leader of Wanggu's clan, and Mie Guzhen, the leader of Tatar's clan, to come to the Central Capital and discuss the matter with them in the name of a post-war banquet.

Regarding Su Yonglin's suggestion of using the playground for the grassland, Wu Ge and Mie Guzhen thought about it for a while, and did not raise any objections.

People in nomadic tribes do not have the idea that their homeland is inseparable. They have migrated everywhere, and live wherever the water and grass are abundant. There is no such thing as the inseparability of the Han people's fallen leaves and returning to their homeland, so it is easy to mobilize.

But it's not that these two people didn't know what Su Yonglin wanted to push them further north.

This is not only to build Daming's own grazing area, but also to let them face Naiman, Mieerqi and other tribes, take over the positions of Kelie and Qiyan, and reshape the political ecology of the post-war grasslands.

Daming hopes that they will continue to guard the frontier for Daming and continue to act as a buffer zone for Daming, so as to relieve Daming's northern frontier.

To be honest, this can be said to be a win-win situation for both parties. Daming needs a buffer zone, while Wang Gu and Tatar also need more grassland and more grazing land with luscious water and grass.

Kelie and Qiyan each occupied a very good grassland, and the range was wide. Even if they could not get all of them, they could get some of them, and they could expand the living space of the tribe.

But if it is agreed, will there be any unpredictable risks?
But if they don't agree, what if Da Ming's father gets angry and does something they can't accept?

Seeing the tangled expressions of the two, Su Yonglin smiled and shook his head.

"Well, if you agree, the family will give you [-] young men captured by the Ming Dynasty, plus [-] captured women, what do you think?"

Give it to people?
What are you still confused about?
Wu Ge, the leader of Wanggu with a relatively sparse tribal population, immediately expressed his stance.

"His Majesty the Emperor considers our ministry so much, and Wang Gu is very grateful. Wang Gu is willing to guard the frontier for Daming forever, and never let any greedy people go south to intrude on the frontier of Daming!"

Seeing Wu Ge stand up so quickly to show his loyalty, Mie Gu was really dissatisfied, but since he fell behind, he could only admit that he was too slow.

So Mie Guzhen also stood up to express his "loyalty".

"His Majesty the Emperor is so sincere. If Tatar refuses to agree, he will be a little ignorant of praise. Those who do not know how to praise will not end well in the Central Plains or the grasslands."

Tatar also agreed to Su Yonglin's suggestion of land exchange.

So they all became Daming's most "loyal" dogs.

Then, Su Yonglin immediately arranged for officials from Honglu Temple to follow Wu Ge and Mie Guzhen to the local area to replace the territory, and then delineated the latest boundary according to the territorial scope, determined the boundary, and wrote it clearly in black and white to avoid unnecessary disputes in the future.

After completing this task, Su Yonglin immediately arranged for the Ministry of Finance and the officials in charge of the two major horse farms in Yanshan and Liaodong to go to the newly acquired grassland territory in Daming to find high-quality grassland, draw a map, and determine the grassland that can be used in the future.

In addition, they also have to take over 20 horses and nearly 50 cattle and sheep newly seized by the Ming Dynasty. The two major horse farms will divide these livestock, take them away and resettle them, and then formulate a detailed breeding plan.

These cattle, sheep and horses are raised in places close to the Central Plains, and Su Yonglin also plans to build a gallop for each of the two horse farms to reach the Central Capital.

Once the road is completed, the transportation cost will be reduced, and the people of the entire Yanyun area will become relatively cheaper to eat beef and mutton.

As for the people in the Central Plains, it is still relatively difficult to eat relatively cheap beef and mutton in a short period of time, but Su Yonglin has also promoted the livestock breeding program in the Central Plains. some type of.

It is more difficult for them to eat beef and mutton, but it is relatively easy to eat chicken, duck and pork. They are all proteins, so there is no need to distinguish them so clearly, just eat some.

Of course, eating meat is still relatively expensive. Ordinary people eat meat during the New Year and festivals. It is not bad. If you can eat meat regularly and quantitatively, currently only the military can do it.

Therefore, Su Yonglin decided to implement a soybean planting plan. In addition to the main grain planting, he chose suitable land to grow beans, increased the supply of soy products in the market, and provided the people with a cheaper source of protein.

In a short time, livestock and soy products were the main sources of protein in the Central Plains.

As for the problem of transportation and wool spinning in the future, the Ming Dynasty will definitely expand the scale of breeding in the grasslands. At that time, it will not be so difficult for people all over the world to eat beef and mutton, and they will not want to eat or have money. Eat but can't buy.

The future is bound to be better. This is Su Yonglin's promise as a human emperor to the people who support him and trust him.

With such a goal in mind, Su Yonglin accelerated the pace of progress. In the middle and late November of Hongwu's second year, he dispatched a group of crew members, mainly members of the Eighth Action Group of the Skynet Army, to Japan in the name of the Merchant Marine. , for the first contact with Japan.

He needs to understand the current political, military, economic and folklore of Japan, and then he can operate and see what means to use to implement his plan.

The attack on the Southern Song Dynasty must start from the three aspects of politics, military and economy. Pure military attack is too tiring, and the loss will be huge. If they can destroy their politics and economy before the attack, it can greatly weaken their combat effectiveness. .

At that time, it would be easy to push the Southern Song Dynasty through military means.

Su Yonglin was thinking about the promotion of the Southern Song Dynasty, and at the same time, he was very much looking forward to the results of Zhao Yucheng and others' activities in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Before, he took the time to learn about the activity report that Zhao Yucheng and others sent back from the adventure, and learned that they experienced a great uprising in the Southern Song Dynasty, and now they have pulled up a rebel army to enter Luoxiao Mountain, and are planning to increase their strength in the mountain. , building organizations, and developing military power with this as the center.

Su Yonglin was very happy, and personally arranged for the Renaissance Society to organize people to send Zhao Yucheng and others the help they needed most through the smuggled salt channel on the border of the Southern Song Dynasty.

No matter what, they were able to gain a firm foothold in the Southern Song Dynasty and even raise an army, this matter has already surprised Su Yonglin inexplicably.

Zhao Yucheng has really grown up and has grown into a strong warrior. Su Yonglin is looking forward to his future.

However, before Su Yonglin was ready to do something with the Southern Song Dynasty to cooperate with Zhao Yucheng, another incident happened on Xixia's side.
