In addition to these businessmen who are clamoring for blood debts and blood repayment, there are many people whose eyes flash, maybe they don't care if they take revenge or not, whether they preach the national prestige or not, but the benefits they may get this time make them extremely excited.

At this time, it is summer, it is a good season for water and grass to be abundant, cattle and sheep are fat and strong, and with the army out of the fortress, the cattle, sheep and horses of the Tartar tribes or something, isn't it just a pot? There are also men and women of their tribe, and even women and children, all of whom have a lot of military merits and wealth.

At that time, most of the high-level strategic materials such as horses will definitely belong to the Jingbian Army, and it will be good for you to have a small part of them, but the Jingbian Army will definitely sell them on the spot at a low price when the time comes.

At present, there is a shortage of grain in Daming, whether it is grain or animal husbandry, it is a very profitable industry.

Over the years, all the merchants who have opened livestock farms on the East Road or outside the Saiwai have made a fortune. They also led a series of downstream industries, such as the meat porcelain jar industry, which processed large quantities of chicken, duck, mutton, and pork into canned food near the livestock farm.

Because the meat porcelain jar is not limited by the season, it can be placed for a long time, and it is more convenient than smoking meat, so it is popular with the people, especially the army, and it is a lucrative industry in the foreseeable future.

The meat porcelain canning field needs a large number of porcelain jars, which has led to the emergence of related interest merchants. In the vicinity of these farms, a large number of fur farms have been established, and the manure collected by the farms every year is the object of competition among the farmers of various farms.

These sites require a large number of workers, and they have driven a large number of people to work and develop into productive businessmen that Wang Dou hopes.

And outside the Saiwai, tea, salt, sugar can not be self-sufficient, or daily necessities, businessmen are shrewd, such as the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, the grain and rice noodles line, oil and salt hotel line, cloth shop, paper shop, tea shop, salt merchants, etc., have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

They quickly formed a network of businesses. Formation of canine teeth staggered. The trend of interest is booming when many people don't expect it. And every time they grow, they drive more industry development, and then there is a new round of expansion.

In addition to these health industries, there are also some shady businesses that have also developed secretly in recent years, that is, human trafficking.

At this time, Wang Dou had already subcontracted the mine to various merchants, only taking advantage of the fishermen, and giving priority to the purchase of coal, iron and other materials produced by them. The operation of the mines is still carried out by these merchants.

Mining is always dangerous, and accidents have emerged in an endless stream in later generations, not to mention the Ming Dynasty at this time? The East Road has relevant laws, including relevant laws, and there are relevant detailed regulations on the wages of the miners, as well as their personal safety, resulting in the employment of East Road workers. Comparatively speaking, the cost is higher.

Businessmen are unprofitable and cannot afford to be early. How could you be willing to do this? Therefore, the slave trade of some people secretly in the east road and outside the Saiwai flourished.

The population control on the East Road is stricter, that is, the entry of displaced people, and there are also a series of regulations, not that those who are caught and go to work as miners will be miners. Therefore, many businessmen set their sights on the outside of the Saiwai, some slave hunting teams, wearing all kinds of warm veils. Team after team was formed.

The Saiwai tribe is located in a bitter cold place, relatively speaking, that is, women and children can endure hardships, and have experience in grazing or making furs, so under the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the merchants who are interested in the desire to secretly rob some women and children of small tribes outside the Saiwai. They are put into garment factories, quilt factories, and even livestock farms.

These people don't even need to be paid, they just need to be fed, and because they have enough to eat, these women and children don't even want to run away, so they are used at a very low cost. Therefore, in the past two years, more and more people from the outside of the Cypriot tribe have been robbed of the East Road, especially in the Mantaoer area. …,

In the past, it was still a sneaky robbery, but now it is an open robbery, how can you not make these businessmen happy?

Besides, going to war with the army, there are meritorious deeds, with meritorious deeds, there will be fiefs in the future, Lai Mancheng is a living example, how can it not make the businessmen blush? Not to mention the gold mines, it is the minerals found in the various fiefdoms, and the people who have obtained them will not be able to enjoy them for several lifetimes.

Even if there are no minerals, those fertile fields and pastures, everyone is also excited, and they can leave a large amount of family business for their children and grandchildren.

In the past, everyone only felt that the outside of the plug was barren, but it was a barren land that was so poor that it was really a treasure land.

Indeed, the land outside the Saiwai depends on whose hands it is, in the hands of the nomads outside the Saiwai, it is a barren land, and in the hands of the people of the Central Plains, it is a treasure land.

How barren was Xinjiang before the liberation of Xinjiang? After the construction corps settled in, tens of millions of acres of fertile land were reclaimed, making the local area a big granary, and at that time, it was difficult for all ethnic groups there to support themselves. The same land, placed in the hands of different people, the effect is obviously different.

The border fortress strategy of the Central Plains in the past dynasties, whether it is reclamation or colonization, is actually effective. The key lies in the fate of the rise and fall of the Central Plains Dynasty, as long as it does not decline, the operation of the border plug flourishes, declines, has to shrink, and the previous achievements will be in vain.

Therefore, the matter of the border fortress mainly depends on the Central Plains, and the Central Plains is strong, that is, the outside of the Cypriot region is as strong as the Xiongnu and the Turks, which is not enough. When the Ming Dynasty was strong, the Jurchens and Mongols had to be honest slaves, but if the Central Plains declined, and it happened that the outside of the country fell strong, it was the beginning of the tragedy.

However, at this time, the Ming Dynasty had a good opportunity to turn the corner, that is, the decline of the entire nomadic power in the global region.

In 1571, the Tatars burned Moscow, and before that, the Tatars of the Crimean Khanate had invaded the center of Moscow, taking strong men, women, and children captive, and in one attack on Moscow, taking 130,000 prisoners.

They were transported to Asia Minor, Africa, and even parts of Europe to be betrayed, so much so that a Jewish merchant sitting at the entrance to the Isthmus of Perekop, seeing so many people passing by, could not help asking: Are there more people left in Russia?

However, after that, the power of the nomads in Russia declined massively, and it was the turn of the Russians to sell the slaves of the Tatars.

Wang Dou came to the Ming Dynasty, is at this critical time, from a global perspective, there will be no more nomadic people, the decline of the historical cycle of farming nations, in the future, it is the world of farming nations.

And the harvest of modern Europeans also made him blush, in fact, Biansai is not poor, it mainly depends on how you operate.

Historically, the Russians conquered Siberia, and in 1586 alone, collecting fur tribute from the local natives, the state treasury received 200,000 sables, 10,000 black fox skins, 500,000 squirrel skins, and many beaver skins and mink skins.

By the middle of the seventeenth century, the income from Siberian fur was estimated to account for 30% of the country's total income, and after paying for the administrative expenses in Siberia, a large surplus was maintained, which was very rich.

Not to mention the British colonists, who often traded an iron nail for a big fat pig to various indigenous tribes.

Therefore, the key is to change the thinking, so that the military and the people, are all profitable in the development of the border area, and the Central Plains region of the border area, in fact, has always been quite a pioneering spirit, the history of Shanxi merchants, in addition to domestic trade, but also involved in the entire Asian region, and even extended their tentacles to the European market, some merchants can even use Mongolian, Kazakh, Uygur, Russian and other northern ethnic groups and Russians to answer fluently.

Needless to say, their ability depends on how you use it, after all, businessmen are mothers if they have milk, there is no motherland, no morality, no shame, if you can profit by following you, they will closely unite by your side and become loyal allies. …,

In this big era, why can't you make a fortune?

Therefore, after a little energy, Wang Dou began to cultivate the enterprising spirit of the merchants, supported them to establish armed caravans, and acquiesced in their bloody and bad deeds to the outside world, capital needs to be accumulated, and it is better to shed the blood of outsiders than to shed the blood of his own people.

When the magic box is opened, as long as it is external, he will not interfere, after all, although he is benevolent and righteous, he also looks at the object.

This time, the border army went out of the fortress and the armed caravan accompanied by it, which was part of Wang Douda's plan, and perhaps after they tasted the sweetness, they would stimulate those landlords to turn their eyes to the outside and open up living space for their own people.

……

Of course, although the merchants are hungry for profit, but the cost between gains and losses is measured very clearly, and the loss of money is not to be done, hearing that most of the tribes outside the Saiwai are only old, weak, sick and disabled, and they are on their own expeditions, not to mention that there is no risk, and the harvest along the way may be extremely huge, and everyone immediately shouted.

In a moment, there were still many people who came up with all kinds of excuses for their own battles, making themselves famous and justified.

Many people also said: "At this time, it is summer, the water and grass are abundant, it is the time when the Mongolian tribes outside the Seychelles hold the Nadamu Conference as usual, this is the most solemn festival on the grassland, and many nearby small tribes will drive cattle and sheep, with special products, to some large tribes to trade, and then they will be served in a pot!" ”

As soon as this person's words came out, it immediately caused a wild laugh, saying that things gather like like, and between businessmen and businessmen, naturally there is no such sanctimony as outsiders, anyway, they go out to rob and kill, and the generals of the Jingbian Army are not moral people, and they can talk to each other.

Of course, there are still people who say: "Although there is no danger in this division, but there is a vast expanse outside the fortress, I am afraid that those tribes will not be able to find it at that time, and I am afraid that the army will be empty." ”

Immediately, the merchants looked at Wen Fangliang, Gao Shiyin and others who were the head of the city, although they went out to do business, and also collected information on various Mongolian tribes in the name of traveling and trade, but on the whole, they were still chaotic and loose, and they could not form a broad and systematic understanding of the places outside the fortress, and in this regard, they could only rely on the Jingbian army.

Shen Shiqi snorted coldly in his heart: "These businessmen don't know the intelligence capabilities of the Jingbian Army yet." In such a big battle, with the combat style of the Jingbian Army, if it were not for the intelligence details of the various tribes, as well as the terrain and water sources in the marching area, would it be possible to rush into battle? ”

Perhaps for thousands of years in the Central Plains, in terms of attaching importance to intelligence gathering, the Jingbian Army considered itself the second, and no one dared to admit the first.
