A year passed in a flash.

In April, the fifth year of Tianbao (746).

By the end of the month, spring plowing will be carried out. Before that, Sun Xiurong summoned Zhang Han, Li Jixun, Xi Yuanli, Sun Xiaoke and Su Xijie to take stock of their own assets.

In the past, he was in control of these things himself, and Xi Yuanli mastered the main workshop. Of course, as the slave Sun Xiaoke, who had been following his former Hu Luju tribe, who had been accused of the Gongyue tribe from the Gongyue tribe, had grown into a qualified central camp general after repeated training through the personal guards, the Shattered Ye Army, and the Talas Academy.

Although Sun Xiurong himself was in charge of all matters except opening the workshop, he was alone after all, and it was impossible to control them all effectively. So Sun Xiaoke, who was a captain from the Ya Bingdu, and Ya Bingdu, were about ten young soldiers who were smart and smart, who had the most Chinese characters and could plan to actually assist him in his jurisdiction.

Zhang Han and Li Jixun have been back for half a year. They are already with Yabing, no, no, no, the handover of the Bogda camp is very clear. Moreover, according to Sun Xiurong's style, the two of them have already gone down to verify one by one in the past six months.

All tribes in the desert are now using tribal customary laws and shaman divination to judge and rule on things that seem to be illegal and disorderly. Even the Turks who had a serious Khanate in the past were the same. After Sun Xiurong took over, he obviously wanted to bring changes to the grassland.

The shamans of each tribe still exist, and he himself also serves as the chief shaman of the tribe, but they are only useful in major seasons or events such as plague, spring plowing, autumn harvest, drought, and ice and snow.

Because he had a very regular and seemingly systematic shaman ritual, when communicating with God, his vividness was far better than the original shaman. Therefore, although he did this, the shamans were a little dissatisfied, but under his authority, he forced himself to hold it back.

In the past, when he was in Talas, he picked up conscripts among the young soldiers. Later, most of the medical services in the entire Talas Governor's Office were completed by the medical soldiers of the Shaman Army, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among the shamans. However, at that time, Sun Xiurong was at its peak and no one dared to express it.

When he arrived here, the same was true at the beginning, but when the population of Guizhou came, there were at least a hundred families who made a living by practicing medicine. Naturally, Sun Xiurong picked up all of them into the newly established "medical chief", which was first directly under his control, and later handed over to Zhang Han for jurisdiction.

On the grassland, generally speaking, when the population is born, shamans usually perform blessing rituals, similar to Christian baptism. It seems to be praying for blessings, but in fact, the shamans come forward to officially declare that the baby belongs to this tribe and will be blessed by the gods who protect this tribe.

Once such a thing happens in Sun Xiurong's tribe, the people from the household registration will go down to register, because there are Shattered Ye Army near each tribe. According to the rules set by Sun Xiurong and the chiefs of each tribe, any person born or died must be reported to Shattered Ye Army as soon as possible. The Shattered Ye Army Yuhou (research, military discipline, performance assessment, and then the performance assessment is summarized) and then reported to the Grand Governor's Office.

Once you find that you have concealed it and do not report it, you will definitely punish it according to the rules set by the Grand Governor's Office. In fact, once a newborn is born, there are things made of serpent stones or iron tools brought from Talas. Yu Hou will send blessings to the herdsmen on behalf of the Grand Governor's Office, which will naturally contain profound meanings.

If the person dies in battle, he will have a complete set of pension policies. If he dies of illness or dies unexpectedly, when Mr. Yu finds out, he will also offer a simple funeral, such as a small bag of salt, a small bag of grain, an iron pot, etc., which are also given on behalf of the Grand Governor's Office.

For grasslands with thin mouths, this is very meaningful, and for households from different language tribes, it will subtly strengthen the centripetal force.

Of course, because there is no teaching force, the school education implemented by the three cities of Suoye City was delayed for a while because of the lack of teaching staff in Talas, but with the arrival of Guizhou households, all this is no longer a problem.

At present, Sun Xiurong will unify the herdsmen who participated in the Sailing Ye Army into the Bogra division, and then let these soldiers read and read. This is the first time this is the selection.

The children of the age-age herdsmen from non-Borgla tribe in the tribe entered Yuyuling School to study. Although there were not many people, the first one was only opened last year, with a total of 300, but the herdsmen all knew that this was of great significance. In the past, the herdsmen did not even have their own surnames (there were still names). Sun Xiurong gave the surname Sun, which was the second selection and differentiation.

Furthermore, he persisted in the annual selection of the jump camp. The jump camps he opened here are not like those in the Tang Dynasty, and they are all under the age of 20. For him, most of the best people under the age of 20 have been included in the Slash Ye Army by him, and the second-level people have entered the Craftsman Camp, and the remaining number is definitely not many.

So he selected no matter how old he was, but he also selected some talents, and these people were also included in the Pogra department. Because he was older, after half a year of training, he was placed in various departments to assist the chiefs in their work.

This is the third selection.

In this way, there are not many Dingkous that are truly controlled by the chiefs of each tribe. Now, according to preliminary statistics, it is only half at most.

With nearly half of the elite population to deal with the remaining elderly, weak, sick and disabled, Sun Xiurong firmly grasped all the troops in his own hands.

Now that he is not far from preparing to leave the juncture, he urgently needs to take a look at his preparations and work together to see if there are any missing.

"Grandmaster"

As a household, ritual, legal, and official, Zhang Han's role was similar to Feng Changqing of Talas. As a recorder of a large tribe with hundreds of thousands of Dingkou, Zhang Han knew the importance of his position.

"As of the end of last year, the Grand Governor's Office of the Ministry of the Ministry had 700,000 mu of land, of which 100,000 mu of land..."

Speaking of this Lutian, Sun Xiurong originally did not want to set up, but people like Zhang Han who were born in the Tang Dynasty who were born in the Tang Dynasty pay great attention to these things. Even if the status of the Grand Governor's Office in the Tang Dynasty is very suspicious, he still yearned for the salary strictly according to the Tang Dynasty level. This is also what people born in the Tang army like Ma Lin also longed for. Sun Xiurong could not reverse it for a while, so he had to draw a part of it as Lutian.

At present, most of the salaries of the Sui Ye Jun, doctors, teachers, craftsmen, and officials were paid for food, and only part of them were paid for silver cakes brought from Talas. Fortunately, when he defeated Mohedagan and seized Sui Ye City, he seized a large number of silver ingots. When he first came here, there were not many places that required money from the Grand Governor's Office, but since the population of Guizhou came, this consumption has increased.

He could have made some money through Shanbei Quechang, but after Shanbei Quechang was destroyed by the Wu brothers, he was not going to set up any more, so he could only save some money.

Five years after the time came to Tianbao, due to the further improvement of farmland water conservancy, wheat could be grown in fields with convenient irrigation. In this way, it could barely win over a group of officials. Otherwise, it would be harder to stabilize the Han people and the mature Khitan in the dynasty than climbing to the sky with rye alone.

According to the rough calculation of two stones per mu, the Grand Governor's Office has 600,000 mu of tax fields, and removed the forage fields, vegetable fields, and grain fields. One million stones can be harvested every year. According to a tax of 30%, this is 300,000 stones.

Three hundred thousand stones seem to be a lot. In fact, since most of the Sword Ye Army are cavalry, the average daily needs of each soldier are three times that of ordinary infantry, that is, three kilograms of grain (considering the needs of horses), it is 1,200 kilograms a year. According to a rough calculation of ten stones, ten thousand people are 100,000 shi, and twenty-four thousand people are 240,000 shi.

A broken Ye Jun almost ate all the taxes.

Fortunately, the Governor's Office can still purchase grain from farmers, but the upper limit is only 20%, which can add 100,000 stones. With the addition of the land of the Governor's Office, it can barely meet the needs of all the people who need to pay the grain and salary except for the soldiers.

In order to save money, the Governor's Office could only pay for grain using iron tools produced in the workshop and clothing made by Bogra women.

However, it seems a bit stingy and life is tight. However, considering that this is a prairie, the herdsmen can also provide some cattle and sheep taxes to the Governor's Office. In fact, the Governor's Office does not consume so much food, and it can also make some surplus every year. This surplus is what Sun Xiurong plans to use during the migration.

"Originally, there was still 150,000 shi of surplus grain in the warehouse. Most of the households in Guizhou were consumed when they arrived. However, they returned the part of the grain after the autumn harvest. With the taxes last fall, there are still 200,000 shi in the warehouse now... Of course, the soldiers, craftsmen, and officials have been abandoned."

"If this fall, you can harvest 200,000 stones more, and a total of 400,000 stones can be accumulated. The food is prepared for herders who encounter heavy snow or severe dry seasons."

"At present, the situation of herders is that the Bogra tribe has 24,000 households, Dugu tribe, Loushi tribe, Yuwen tribe has a total of 15,000 households, Shiwei tribes, 15,000 households, Nanbaye Gu tribe, 40,000 households, and 15,000 households of Turkic tribes, and 15,000 households of Xi tribe. There is no calculation, but the nominal tyrants of the Great Governor's Office, Bashimi tribes, and Hei Shui Mohe tribes."

"After several wars, the Turkic tribes still seem to have 40,000 households, but most of them are old, weak, women and children. Pugu Huaien can draw up to 5,000 young and strong people, and even more tribes will be empty."

"Not counting the Turkic tribes, the other tribes have a total of 60,000 young and strong households, and 30,000 young and strong cavalrymen can be dispatched, plus more than 20,000 people from the Shattered Ye Army, it should be fine."

"As of the end of last year, the treasury still had 300,000 silver coins, about 150,000 taels, or 150,000 jin. Apart from the salary for the next two years, there will be very little left."

Sun Xiurong nodded. His Ye Army was also recruiting troops and needed to pay salaries. In addition to food, he also needed to pay some money every year.

At present, Hu Shang accepted the Tuqi's silver coins, and he could only continue to mint them. However, if he returned to Talas and everything settled down, he would naturally mint the Bogda silver coins.

"It's okay, I heard that Shanbei Shiwei and the Kuligan people who fled farther away, the Tumat people near the Beihai still have a lot of high-quality mink and fox skins. They used to trade with Baye Guren, and what Baye Guren could trade with was nothing more than the iron tools, salt and other items in our hands. In May, they will trade at Baye Guren."

"We knew in advance that Bayegu Khan did not hand over the skin to the Hu merchant, but to me, and we would trade with the Hu merchant, and then let the wind go, saying that we had a lot of high-quality skin in our hands, so we could use silver to exchange it with us."
