204. The method of ruling the grassland

Jing Wen stayed in the Turks and was preparing to continue his career as an envoy abroad. And here it was very dull and there was nothing fun. Because he was afraid of Princess Yicheng's assassination, he stayed in the inn and did not dare to come out easily. Although he played mahjong with several beauties, such beautiful women were always tired of mahjong, so Jing Wen began to get tired of it and wanted to have some fun. At this time, someone came to invite Jing Wen District to play the grassland.

"Jing Wen, when I was in Chang'an, thanks to you receiving me. Since you are here this time, I will do my best to be a landlord and take you to the grassland!" said Ashinayun.

Asunayun came to the inn and was preparing to take Jingwen to play in the grassland, which was to repay Jingwen's reception for him in Chang'an City. Although Jingwen took the opportunity to take advantage of her at that time, Asunayun would not care about it for so long now, because he is not a girl like the Han people who can't even touch her.

"Husband, let's go and have a tour." Liu Qing said.

Liu Qing also felt a little tired of staying in this inn and wanted to go out for fun. They had never seen the grassland yet, so they also wanted to follow the Turkic princess Ashinayun to go for fun. Jing Wen had never visited the grassland, so he was also very curious. But although he liked to play, he was even more worried about his nickname! Because the Turkic Ke Dun was eyeing him, of course he could not take it lightly.

"Are you worried about those assassins? Don't worry, I will take our Princess Guard to protect you so that you don't have to worry!" said Ashinayun.

After hearing what Ashinayun said, Jing Wen felt relieved and could enjoy the grassland in peace. Jing Wen took several beauties and rode a horse named Yanzhi sent by Ashinayun and continued to walk northward. After about half a month, he arrived at the grassland that was still under the control of the Turks. This grassland was called the Inner Mongolia Grassland in later generations, but there was no unified nation in this era. Now, the Turks only occupy part of this Mongolian grassland, and there are also the Mahe people, that is, the ancestors of the Manchus. And Goguryeo also accounted for a part. However, the Turks are also the largest area, occupying most of Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia in later generations.

"What a vast grassland!" Jing Wen couldn't help but sigh.

"It's endless. It turns out that I didn't expect that there would be such a place in this world? I seemed to smell the smell of green grass. Although the breath in Chang'an is not as popular as it is, it has another unique taste." Liu Qing said.

Jing Wen also knew that this place should be an endless grassland. The air here is much better, better than many big cities in the Central Plains. Although no industry has been developed yet, the air is much better than that in a grassland, when it is located on it, it is still much better than that in places where all are built.

"The grassland here is very good. We must become the land of China in the future!" Jing Wen said in a low voice.

"What did you say?" Asunayun asked.

"I didn't say anything!" Jing Wen answered immediately.

Of course, Jing Wen could not admit that he thought in his mind how to turn this grassland into the land of China in the future. Now the Turks and the Tang Dynasty are not the same country. So strictly speaking, the grassland is not the land of China, and China has never been able to build an effective ruling institution on the grassland. This gave those nomadic peoples the opportunity to revive, invading the Central Plains again and again, becoming a disaster for the Han people. Even though the Tang Dynasty later destroyed the Turks, it was not able to completely eradicate the nomadic people, so the next two land sinks in China, the Mongolians and Manchus unified China. But Jing Wen could not say that. He was just thinking about how to occupy the Turks in a few years later, if the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks, then how to stabilize the land of the Turks.

"Jing Wen, in fact, you got those tea leaves. It's also very good. Your tea leaves can give many of our war horses a takeout channel. We used to eat many cattle, sheep and horses as food on the grassland. But on the grassland, the most common thing we don't lack is cattle, sheep and horses, so cattle, sheep and horses cannot be sold at a good price. Now if you can trade tea with horses, the herdsmen can get profits. Although you are a little bit bad, you can get them for a lot of things after all." Ashinayun said.

On the grassland, if you have not suffered natural disasters, the most deficient thing is cattle, sheep and horses. What you need on the grassland is actually food from the Han people, and there are many things. However, because of some willingness in the past, the transaction between the two sides was not large, which caused the Turkic food inadequate. There were too many cattle, sheep and horses, and the internal transaction price of the Turkic people was not high, so it was not valuable. Now you can trade tea with these horses, which is also a transaction, and you may trade more in the future.

"By the way! So that's how it can be!" Jing Wen suddenly shouted.

"What's like this? Why are you talking about it?" Asunayun asked.

"Nothing!" Jing Wen returned immediately.

Jing Wen actually knew how to control the Turks at that time, that is, to use the economy to control. In ancient times, the Han people occupied the grasslands were actually not worth the loss, so although many dynasties could defeat nomadic peoples, they were unable to occupy the grasslands. Jing Wen also thought of a way, that is, to use the economy to control the herdsmen. At that time, they could use these material transactions to indirectly control these herdsmen, so that they could prevent the herdsmen from rebelling. This kind of economic control has formed many theories in later generations, and the theoretical basis is very rich. Strengthening economic exchanges in various places is actually the best way to unify the country. If the Turks can control the economy through economic exchanges, even if the Turks want to rebel, they will not be able to obtain the support of the herdsmen, because the herdsmen are all beneficiaries.
