Chapter 589

With the joining of the Tang Dynasty cavalry, the form of the whole ranch suddenly went down sharply, which was extremely unfavorable to the mengtu tribe.

Hulun leader breathed a sigh of relief. Datang kept his promise. Soon, Merton's words spread all over Qinghai and immediately caused a sensation in all parts of Tuyuhun.

Tribal leaders, large and small, rushed to Mantu ranch. No, Hulun ranch is a way to feed ten times more cattle and sheep in Qinghai. Even any Tuyuhun tribe that hates the Han people can't refuse such temptation. Even many tribes in Dangxiang came to hear the news.

"Are you sure about the ink sacrifice?" Gao Shilian asked with a worried face in the Hulun tribe,

He was very happy to receive cattle and sheep in the rear area. After hearing this, he immediately handed over his work to the lower officer and immediately led 30000 cavalry to Qinghai.

Merton said confidently, "don't worry, Lord Gao. The herdsmen in Tuyuhun are vulgar. They only know that they let cattle and sheep run everywhere. It's a great waste to look at the boy. If the Han people are allowed to graze in the same pasture, it's not a problem to use the Mohist method, let alone ten times the cattle and sheep, or twenty times the sheep."

Don't you see that the number of cattle and sheep in Qinghai pasture, which has been degraded so seriously in future generations, is at least 100 times that of Tuyuhun at the moment, and what Merton said at the moment can increase the number of cattle and sheep tenfold is not impossible.

"I can trust the skill of marquis mo." Gao Shilian was a little relieved. In Chang'an City, he also heard the magic of Merton for a long time. Many things seemed impossible to others, but in Merton's hands, he could turn corruption into magic.

"But if mohou really has such a good prescription, it will be cheap for nothing." Gao Shilian can't help suffering from injustice. What a great benefit it would be if he could feed ten times more cattle and sheep in Qinghai!

Merton said with a confident smile, "I don't know whether Lord Gao thinks that a nomadic tribe without a fixed place is easy to manage or a nomadic tribe with a fixed place is easy to manage."

Gao Shilian couldn't help but brighten his eyes. The biggest reason why nomads are so rebellious and difficult to tame is that these nomadic tribes have no fixed place. Once they enter the vast grassland, they can't find people at all, but the private ownership of pastures can certainly limit these tribes to a certain range. There are owner pastures around them. Where can this tribe go?

Gao Shilian couldn't help but turn his mind and beat his heart. If mojiazi could do what he promised, Datang would have a firm foothold in Tuyuhun.

"By the way, did you ever bring the flour that Lord Gao asked me to bring?" Merton asked suddenly. He had promised that each part of the grassland could exchange three times the weight of grain with a sheep, but Merton was prepared to locate all these grains as expensive flour.

"They have brought hundreds of carriages, but if you use corn, the court will earn more." Gao Shilian wondered. For grassland herdsmen living on the hunger and satiety line, both corn and flour are the same to them, as long as they can fill their stomachs.

Merton explained: "Unfair trading is the most taboo. The price of corn is too low in Datang, and the price of mutton is too high. If it is spread to the ears of herdsmen for a long time, it will certainly make people unbalanced and resent Datang. The high price of flour can not only make the people in Lanzhou earn a hand fee, but also make the transaction seem fair, so as to stabilize the hearts of herdsmen."

Gao Shilian suddenly looked at Merton with appreciation. He did not doubt whether the herdsmen were willing to change flour. After all, most herdsmen were still in a state of insufficient food. Flour could make them no longer endure hunger. They would not refuse such a thing.

"Moreover, we Datang should not only support but also control all the departments in Qinghai. The corn can still be eaten after being stored for several years, but the flour is not easy to preserve, only for one year at most. Moreover, it is very susceptible to moisture and deterioration in summer. If Tuyuhun changes, we Datang just need to cut off the flour supply. Before long, Tuyuhun will return to its original shape." Merton whispered.

"It's a good plan to rely on Datang for food and clothing, and abandon Datang for hunger! I believe Tuyuhun will never be separated from Datang again!" Gao Shilian praised.

Merton nodded, which was exactly what he planned.

"If this plan can operate in all departments in Qinghai, it can also be used in all Turkic departments, and even for all other grassland departments!" Gao Shilian added that in this way, Datang can exchange a large number of cattle and sheep only with grain every year. This business can make a steady profit without losing. More importantly, this kind of control production is extremely hidden. There is no lack of flour supply in all parts of the grassland, which ordinary people can't detect at all.

"Lord Gao is wise!" Merton looked at Gao Shilian with admiration. He is worthy of being an elite figure in the Tang Dynasty. He can enlarge this plan several times in a short time.

Gao Shilian smiled and said, "after this, you and I wrote to the imperial court together and took this method as a way to control the grassland. It must be a great achievement."

Merton also smiled and nodded.

"Young master, all the leaders have arrived, waiting for you and Lord Gao." Merton and Gao Shilian finished their negotiation, and heard tie an remind outside.

When Gao Shilian saw Merton's wisdom, his confidence in Merton immediately increased by three points. He took the lead in getting up and said, "ink sacrifice wine. Let's go together. I've heard a lot about the famous unique skills of the Mohist school."

Merton quickly got up and said, "I promise I won't let Lord Gao down."

Merton opened his tent and went out. He took a deep breath. From then on, the nomadic career lasting for thousands of years is coming to an end, and the era of grazing is coming.
