The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 400 Everyone Wants to Return to Their Homeland

The Mongolians on the grassland will raise a lot of cattle and sheep, because this is a symbol of the prosperity of a tribe and a display of the strength of the Taiji people.

It is also an important source of foreign trade in exchange for materials.

On Jeju Island, these 8000 people raised just over 2 sheep, which is only enough for the entire island to eat.

Because many Koreans and Han people also raise them, they are basically used by each family, including Tu Zheer's family.

As a result, there are too many cattle and sheep raised here that cannot be sold, so they don't raise many.

Now that Ding Yi has arrived, his goal is to build this place into the rear of Tapi Island.

You have to give me a good stocking.

"I heard that among the tribes on the grassland, a tribe of one thousand people will have one hundred thousand sheep." Ding Yi said loudly, "Our place is rich in water and grass, and the climate is pleasant. I need more cattle, sheep and pigs."

The Mongols looked at each other.

"You have more than 2000 households, and every four households will draw a male to form an army." Ding Yi said again.

All the Mongols stared, who are they going to fight here? Are there no enemies on the island?
But no one dared to speak out.

Shen Shikui and the others were also stunned by Ding Yi's teleportation skills. The last sentence was still talking about raising sheep, but the next sentence became conscription?

"Each household raises more cattle and sheep. If each household raises less than [-] sheep, the tax is [-]%; for each household that raises more than [-] sheep, the tax is [-]%."

"If you raise more than two cattle and more than two thousand sheep, the tax will be [-]%."

The Mongols here are in an uproar because they have to pay taxes.

Many people regretted what they heard. They thought they could be fed by Ding Yi and had money, but they didn't expect to have nothing and pay taxes. Now they can't all raise horses.

And the horse breeders were all laughing, Ding Yi provided them with food and lodging, and was exempted from tax.

Ding Yi called it 'stirring the masses to fight against the masses', which instantly made the two Mongols hostile.

"Those who are conscripted to have soldiers at home will be exempted from tax." Ding Yi said again at this time.

All of a sudden, the Mongols at the scene couldn't help but directly draw the man in their family to serve as a soldier.

When the North Koreans were here, the tax was still a bit heavy, but Jeju Island is better than outside, and there are various specialties instead.

Now Ding Yi has clearly defined their responsibilities, and they are only allowed to raise cattle and sheep. If they want to use cattle and sheep to pay taxes, they must raise more cattle and sheep.

And Ding Yi made it very clear that the more you raise, the lower the tax.

"Is the tax calculated on cattle and sheep?" A Mongolian asked.

"Of course." Ding Yi smiled.

Someone bowed their heads and calculated that if they raised [-] sheep and paid [-]% of the tax, Ding Yi would have to pay [-] sheep.

Also acceptable.

Many people silently said that it was acceptable.

If Ding Yi wanted to know what was on their minds, he would probably go berserk. So my tax was low?

The Koreans and the Mongolians on the grassland are at least [-]% of them.

But he didn't want to oppress the Mongols, but to encourage them to raise sheep, so the tax was set a bit low.

There is no tax for raising horses, just to let them carefully raise good war horses.

"Will General Ding take in as many sheep as we raise?" another Mongolian asked.

In the past, they didn't raise much. It wasn't that there wasn't enough grassland. There was enough grassland here, but if they raised too much, they couldn't sell it.

"Of course, I will accept as much as you want." Ding Yi said: "A cow is three for two, and a sheep is three for one."

This price is a bit of a bully, but on Jeju Island, the cost of breeding is low, and the Mongolians can barely accept it when they think about it.

Because the quantity goes up, you can make a lot of money.

"General." Tu Zhe'er raised his hand to speak at this moment.

"You say." Ding Yi turned his head.

"Raising too many sheep will affect raising horses." It turns out that the grassland here is limited, only 123 million mu.

Well, it’s actually quite big, but if you add hundreds of thousands of sheep, it’s not enough.

Another group of Mongolians immediately said: "Sheep are not as delicate as horses. They also eat grass on the banks of the mountains. They can be raised at home and use some omnivores to survive."

"How many sheep can you raise at most?" Ding Yi, of course, gave priority to horses.

Tu Zhe'er thought about it: "One hundred thousand."

"20." said the other side.

The Mongolians on both sides glared at each other, almost speaking in unison.

"15." Ding Yi made the final decision, because he also wanted a lot of sheep, which he could sell for money besides his own use.

This number seems to be accepted by everyone, and the Mongolians on both sides are silent.

Park Zhixuan, Zhang Meng and Chen Haisheng looked at each other with admiration.

The most difficult thing to deal with on Jeju Island is the Mongols, because they think that they are the original owners of this place and have a natural pride. In addition, they are good at riding and shooting, and they are the strongest force on the island.

When Ding Yi came, he first opposed the two waves of Mongols, and the farmers with a larger population, Ding Yi did not pay a penny to raise them, and also collected taxes.

On that day, Ding Yi didn't say anything more. After finishing the Mongols, he hurriedly ended his lunch.

But the Koreans and the Han people are all preoccupied.

After the meal, Zhang Meng and Pu Zhixuan found Chen Haisheng at the same time.

What did Ding Yi tell you?Why didn't you mention us today?
Chen Haisheng thought for a while, then said slowly: "Do you know who Ding Yi is?"

The two shook their heads together, if he came to Jeju, who would know him?

"I often go to Dengzhou and Shandong to run business."

"Acquainted with a lot of businessmen, our salt is all bought from him."

"What?" Everyone couldn't believe it.

Chen Haisheng immediately talked about Ding Yi's past. He started from Liaodong, developed in Lushun, fought against Houjin successively, and won many battles.

Of course everyone knew that Houjin was powerful, but they didn't expect Ding Yi to beat Houjin many times.

"But the more shocking thing is yet to come."

"He conquered Japan last year, defeated the Japanese shogunate, and snatched the famous Iwami Silver Mountain in Japan." Chen Haisheng also showed an incredible expression on his face: "With the power of a general army in the Ming Dynasty, he defeated the shogun who ruled Japan. "

"Ah!" Zhang Meng and Pu Zhixuan cried out in unison.

"This year he conquered North Korea again, forcing Li Zhen to seek peace and cede Jeju Island."

"He has tens of thousands of troops, and he is victorious in every battle."

After Chen Haisheng finished speaking, Zhang Meng and Pu Zhixuan couldn't recover for a long time.

This is too legendary, and no one thought that there would be such a character in the Ming Dynasty.

With the power of one person, the soldiers of one town conquered Japan and North Korea successively.

Perhaps it is not enough to say that conquest is not enough, but it is entirely possible to say that it is convincing.

At this moment, Zhang Meng understood: "He robbed Jeju Island to raise war horses, plant fertile land, raise cattle and sheep, and then train various soldiers and horses, and finally—"

The three of them looked at each other and said in unison in their hearts - 'sweeping the world'.

Because it is impossible for a normal general soldier of the Ming Dynasty to conquer other countries.

Japan and North Korea are still the countries designated by Lao Zhu not to be expropriated.

And you, a general soldier, went to North Korea to grab an island. What do you do with raising [-] war horses a year?
Tu Zheer will raise [-] horses for him, at least [-] horses, maybe even more.

That commander can do it.

Pu Zhixuan chuckled at this moment: "I think shopkeeper Chen has already established a relationship with General Ding. If there is any good way, please take care of us."

"Then there is no way." Chen Haisheng said seriously: "It is to fully support General Ding."

"I don't have any big wishes. The ancestors of our Chen family hope that one day we can return to our homeland in the Central Plains and visit our hometown." Chen Haichang sighed: "Falling leaves always return to their roots."

"Our ancestors of the Zhang family taught the same way." Zhang Meng said solemnly.

Pu Zhixuan stared at him, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "I remember that the ancestors of our Pu family seemed to have been dispatched from the Central Plains. Look at my Chinese, how do you speak it?"

"..." Chen Haisheng and Zhang Meng.
