Daming: Let you build roads, you have access to highways throughout the country

Chapter 186: Western Cowboy!!!

The officials of the Daming Dynasty probably never dreamed that the wolf, a species, would actually be discussed on the table of Qinzhou Mansion.

The population of the Daming Dynasty is relatively large, the population density is also large, the cities that often move, even the villages, wild animals are relatively few, most of the threatening wild animals, have also retreated into the deep mountains and old forests, the harm to the people is relatively limited.

But Qinzhou has just opened the land not long ago, so far, it has only built two cities.

Qinzhou Province and Jinshan Province are relatively better, the population is relatively large, and wild animals are generally not easy to approach, but many farms are often patronized by various wild animals, including more aggressive wild wolves, wild leopards, tigers and lions.

Now, for Qin Zhou, the most important thing is population.

Die one, everyone is distressed.

Although the Daming Dynasty has a steady stream of land pioneers, compared to the huge land area, this population is still not enough.

Every common man is allocated 1 acre of land and fenced it up, which is a large-scale farm, and it is not easy to guard this 1 acre of land.

If nothing else, simply fencing the site is a huge project, which requires transporting the stakes to the edge of the farm, digging a deep pit, burying the stakes, and smashing them with a hammer.

Today’s iron tools are still relatively expensive, and no one uses barbed wire and the like to connect the stakes one by one, but uses traditional rattan and the like to connect the stakes.

But these things can easily destroy some ferocious wild animals, or even jump over them.

Qinzhou Mansion has received many cases of people being injured by wild animals, and there are even several deaths.

Zhu Rong sent waves of soldiers to drive and hunt these 887 wild animals, but with little success, Zhu Rong himself experienced one, brought 1 soldier, and wore a Hongwu rifle, but only hunted 50 wild wolves.

In the hands of ordinary people, there are no weapons and equipment, and the number they can hunt is even more handful.

This is obviously unfair to those ordinary people who honestly keep their farms and work hard to cultivate them.

In the conference room of the Qinzhou Fu office building, the sun slanted in from the outside, it is now winter, but the winter here is still relatively warm, the lowest temperature, that is, about 7 degrees to 10 degrees.

And because of the influence of long-term sea breeze, the temperature in summer is not particularly high, especially near the seaside, which is basically about 20 degrees.

The time of more than 30 degrees in a year generally does not exceed 10 days.

Fog is common in the second half of the night and in the morning, but in winter, snow is rare.

Now the windows of the office building have all been replaced with the glass just produced by the Qi Wangfu.

The glass was shipped back from the Daming Dynasty.

After all, there is a small town specializing in the production of glass in the land of Qilu, how could the Qi royal mansion watch its own market being seized by European merchants.

Under the intervention of the Qi royal palace, the glass industry also began to flourish, although the current output is still relatively low, but the homes of dignitaries and rich merchants and landowners have become very common.

However, there is a big difference from the traditional lattice windows of the Ming Dynasty, and the windows of office buildings are generally larger, and a sliding structure is used to allow more sunlight to shine in.

Although it is winter, the sun is full and shining on the body, warm.

Zhu Rong was a little sleepy, but the owls below were very energetic to discuss.

“Your Highness, relying on the Daming army alone to drive away wild animals is not a solution.”

“Yes, Your Highness. Now our soldiers, mainly sent to reclaim wasteland, left behind in Qinzhou Mansion and Jinshan Mansion, are originally relatively limited.

Now to drive wild animals on such a large scale, it is really a bit stretched, and it is too busy to keep busy. ”

Another owl frowned and said: “The point is that the effect is not great, when our army patrols, wild animals will not approach at all, but when they leave, these wolves, leopards, come out again, very shrewd.” ”

This problem has plagued many officials in Qinzhou Mansion for a long time, and it can be said that there is an insoluble hatred between the people of Daming and these murderous wild animals.

Both property and life are seriously threatened.

And for Zhu Rong and many owls, the life of every common man is extremely precious, after all, it is extremely rare to attract a pioneer, and they are expected to continue to open up the land and expand the territory.

Zhu Rong took a sip of tea and refreshed: “The number of our manpower is ultimately limited, although there are rifles to hunt wild animals, it is relatively convenient, but there are few manpower, and they can’t take care of such a large area, this matter has to be handled by the people themselves.”

Let them spontaneously hunt the surrounding wildlife, especially wild wolves. ”

One by one, the owls looked at each other.

“Your Highness, the common people either have hoes or sickles in their hands, it is good that they can protect themselves, at most, they will drive away the wolves that enter their chicken coops and sheepfolds, and it is a little difficult for them to take the initiative to hunt.”

Zhu Rong thought for a moment and said: “Let experienced hunters design a few traps, post notices in Qinzhou Mansion and Jinshan Mansion, and publicize them widely, so that the people can learn it.”

In addition, machine shops produced a batch of clips to catch beasts and sold them on the market. ”

One by one, the owls nodded very frequently, deeply agreeing, and felt that this idea was reliable.

Later, he heard Zhu Rong say unastonishingly, and said endlessly: “In addition, tell the common people that during this period of wild animal infestancy, private individuals are allowed to possess a small number of swords and bows and arrows, but they must be strictly registered by the government.” ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

The eyes of one owl after another were about to pop out, and they couldn’t believe that these words came out of the mouth of His Royal Highness King Qi.

Before opening up gold mines, there was no way to quickly attract the population.

But now the common people are allowed to possess swords and even bows and arrows, and if they are transmitted back to the Ming court, they must not cause a major earthquake.

Throughout the dynasties, the control of weapons was extremely strict, and this thing was specially used for war.

The common people have more weapons and equipment in their hands, and once they gather a crowd, they will form a lot of power, and even threaten the ruler.

So, the proposal is incredibly bold.

An owl frowned and said: “Your Highness, this method is good, and it can also allow the people to have the ability to protect themselves and kill wild animals, but it is not easy for the imperial court to explain it.” ”

Another owl said: “There is also the fact that the common people have swords and bows and arrows in their hands, and if there is any contradiction between them, I am afraid that it will be easier to cause murder.” I am afraid that it will cause public security problems and even major turmoil. ”

Zhu Rong said directly: “Extraordinary times, extraordinary methods. I’ll communicate with the imperial court. As for the use of swords and bows and arrows, there must also be restraints and restrictions on the use of swords and bows and arrows against people.

In addition, take some of the furs harvested by our Qinzhou and bring them back to the Daming Dynasty for sale. Let the merchants see the profits of fur and encourage them to buy fur at a large and high price.

As long as the people see that there is money to be made, they will definitely spare no effort to hunt these murderous wild animals. ”

Everyone was dazzled, indeed, the pioneers who came here had an extremely strong thirst for money.

In Qinzhou, most people are not particularly interested in wolf skins, deer skins and the like, mainly to purchase some more practical goods.

But these furs, once transported back to the Ming Dynasty, will definitely become a luxury that the dignitaries compete to purchase.

This fur was relatively scarce in the Ming Dynasty.

As long as the profit is large enough, there will be more ordinary people willing to hunt wild wolves.

After everyone finalized it, a new decree of King Qi was soon issued.

After the news spread, the people were in an uproar.

Teach the people how to dig traps, arrange traps, and even start selling pure iron traps on the market, everyone can understand.

However, allowing ordinary people to possess swords and bows and arrows is also too amazing.

In the past, these things were strictly controlled by the imperial court.

After this shock, the people were very excited, and they could finally have the weapons of the Eight Classics to guard their own manor!

Therefore, everyone ran to Qinzhou Mansion to register and purchase swords and bows and arrows.

The price is not cheap, and it requires strict registration and is not allowed to be used against anyone, only for wild animals.

Despite this, there is a constant stream of buyers.

In the past two years in Qinzhou Mansion and Jinshan Mansion, a group of nouveau riche has indeed been born, and some are themselves high-ranking officials, rich merchants, and people sent by landlords, and the money in their hands is relatively loose.

Knowing this kind of good thing, they came to buy it.

After the people got their hands, they were novel, and they were extremely excited to draw Bibi on the street, and then they would be scolded by the nearby officers and soldiers, and only then did they collect them in a low-key manner, and after hurrying home, they would fiddle and fiddle again.

The bow and arrow are sold in the largest number because it is the most practical, has a relatively long range, and can carry out long-range attacks.

It will be more effective against wolves, tigers, lions, wild leopards, etc., and it can also be used to hunt wild deer.

Now, Qinzhou Mansion encourages everyone to sell furs and transport them back to the Ming Dynasty to earn high profits, although deer skin and wolf skin cannot be compared, but the price is not low.

And the aggressiveness of this thing is much smaller than wolves and the like, this month, killing a few deer is a lot of extra income.

With the promulgation of the Qi king’s order, Qinzhou Mansion and Jinshan Mansion launched a mighty operation to hunt and kill murderous beasts and protect the farm!
