My life skills in Daming Liver

After Huang Taiji inherited the position of Mongolian Khan, he immediately petitioned the Ming Dynasty court to inherit the title of his father, King Shunyi.

King Shunyi was the canonization that An Dahan accepted from the Ming court. When An Dahan was alive, he rarely called himself King Shunyi because he thought it was an insult and was just the product of his temporary peace with the Ming court. .

But Huang Taiji, under Sanniangzi's persuasion, already knew that times have changed.

Muskets and cannons replaced horses and bows. A bastion garrisoned by more than a hundred people could handle thousands of cavalry.

If we say that in the Iron Age, farming peoples and nomadic peoples had their own advantages and disadvantages, and sometimes nomadic peoples were even more powerful than farming peoples.

Because in the Iron Age, there was not much difference in the productivity of the two peoples.

But in the era of industrialization, nomads were left far behind.

The speed at which the farming nation transformed into industrialization was terrifying. The goods and weapons manufactured in the workshops defeated the nomads step by step.

Huang Taiji realized this. He asked the nobles in Bansheng to call him King Shunyi, remove all the honorary titles given to him by his father, and sent envoys to the Ming court to ask for canonization.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Taiji married Andahan's wife Sanniangzi according to the tradition of the grassland.

Stepmarriage is also a tradition in the grassland. This kind of marriage custom is that after the death of the father, the son marries the father's wife and concubines, and after the death of the elder brother, the younger brother marries the elder brother's wife and concubines.

Sanniangzi immediately accepted Huang Taiji's proposal and became the wife of the Mongolian Khan again.

This time, King Shunyi of Mongolia issued an order that Princess Sanniangzi would be fully responsible for the civil affairs on the grassland.

Everything is being handed over smoothly. The prohibition of alcohol has been promulgated. According to the order of King Shunyi, selling and selling a bottle of wine on the grassland is a felony. If a businessman selling alcohol is reported, half of his property will be confiscated and the other half will be confiscated. Rewards will be given to those who report.

However, King Shunyi and Sanniangzi had differences on how to treat Tibetan Buddhism.

King Shunyi said: "These monster monks bewitched my father and the warriors on the grassland. They must be eradicated from the grassland!"

Sanniangzi immediately expressed her objection and said: "King, the monks have come to the grassland. Even if they are driven away, Tibetan Buddhism has already penetrated the grassland."

Sanniangzi also dislikes Tibetan Buddhism, but she has seen those fanatical herdsmen and knows that faith is different from alcohol and cannot be forcibly prohibited by an order.

Sanniangzi also knows that belief is always necessary. If it were not Tibetan Buddhism, the next time you come will probably be a more extreme religion.

For example, when the Han people came to the grasslands, the White Lotus Sect spread rapidly, and even some Mongolian tribes even believed in the White Lotus Sect.

Later, An Dahan made a decisive decision and killed several senior officials of the White Lotus Sect and hung their heads on Bansheng City. This made the herdsmen no longer believe in the White Lotus Sect.

King Shunyi frowned and said, "Are we going to let these monks go?"

Sanniangzi said: "With Sonam Gyatso in our hands, Tibetan Buddhism will be our help."

"First of all, private monks are prohibited from receiving ordination in private. To become a monk, you must study in a monastery in Bansheng City for two years. You can become a formal monk after being canonized by the Khan's court. Uncanonized monks who preach in private will be regarded as monsters. Kill."

King Shunyi nodded repeatedly. The Ming Dynasty and Southeast University next door were doing the same thing. They used special agencies to manage monks, limited the number of monks, and controlled the appointment of monks in the hands of the government.

Sanniangzi added: "The precepts are issued in the name of Suonangjiacuo. All monks who cannot abide by the precepts will be expelled from the grassland."

King Shunyi nodded. This was also the practice in the Central Plains, which used precepts to restrain the monks.

Sanniangzi continued: "The last step is to make offerings. In the name of Sonam Gyatso, we have issued precepts that prohibit monks from accepting offerings of gold and silver. If you want to donate, you can only donate in kind. As long as you contribute what you can, you can get the protection of Buddhism. ."

King Shunyi thought for a while and could only nod in agreement.

He himself is not very resistant to Buddhism. Sonam Gyatso is indeed a very charming monk.

Suonangjiacuo's own moral level is very high. He has never lived in luxury since entering the grassland, and now he lives in an ordinary tent.

King Shunyi also listened to Suonang Gyatso's lectures on Buddhism when he followed Ada Khan. He was also very interested in the afterlife described by Suonang Gyatso.

Moreover, King Shunyi also knew very well that with the vigorous promotion of his father, Buddhism had penetrated deeply into the grasslands.

If there is another movement to exterminate Buddhism, the grassland cannot afford such division and turmoil.

The third lady said this, and King Shunyi followed the trend and released Suonang Jiacuo.

Suonang Jiacuo was stabbed by Buyan Taiji's poisonous dagger, but he quickly recovered from health. In the eyes of King Shunyi, this was also the magic of Buddhism.

After listening to King Shunyi's request, Suonangjiacuo agreed almost instantly.

Sonam Gyatso even agreed to send his own disciples to test the knowledge and abilities of monks from various tribes, publicize King Shunyi's edicts and precepts, and expel monks who did not abide by the precepts.

Just when the new King Shunyi and Princess Sanniangzi both believed that their reforms on the grassland would make the grassland better and better.

Liquor has indeed disappeared from prairie fairs.

According to the royal court's edict, those who dared to openly sell alcohol were reported, and some merchants who had no time to turn around were even robbed.

The situation seems to be improving in the direction Sanniangzi expected.

But spirits have taken root on the grasslands, and those addicted alcoholics are still willing to spend everything to buy spirits.

As long as such needs still exist, someone will naturally meet their needs.

Those who produced spirits were merchants from the Ming court. They did not need to obey King Shunyi's edicts, and the long border between the Ming Dynasty and the grassland had become a smuggling channel that could not be banned.

History is like reincarnation. This long national border was once a convenient door for Anda Khan to invade from the south. Now it has become a convenient door for smuggling spirits to the grassland.

Box after box of spirits were transported across the long smuggling border.

When the public ban on alcohol began, alcohol quickly changed from a normal industry, an industry that could collect taxes, into an underground black industry.

At this time, the logic of alcohol sales in the entire grassland completely changed.

After hearing about the huge changes in Bansheng City, Yu Dayou found Lu Er. (Correction in the previous article, the head of the Capital Information Station is Lu Tianshou, a disciple of Lu Er)

Lu Er said excitedly: "City Lord? Should we take the opportunity to attack Bansheng City?"

But Yu Dayou shook his head and said: "No need, now is not the time when the order of the grassland is the most chaotic, nor is it the time when the horses, cattle and sheep are the fattest. Wait until this autumn is over before taking action."

Lu Er said doubtfully: "Huang Taiji and Sanniangzi are working hard to govern, and they are much better than An Dahan. With them in power, won't we be in more trouble when the grassland regains its vitality in autumn?"

Yu Dayou shook his head and said: "Sanniang Zi's starting point is good, and she is indeed for the future of the grassland, but her thinking about politics is too simple."

Yu Dayou said: "Have you read the book the Governor sent me?"

Lu Er said with a headache: "I come from a hereditary military family. The books written by the Governor are too complicated. I know all the words, but I can't understand a sentence."

Yu Dayou laughed. Lu Er never concealed his shortcomings, but he was very capable in the intelligence business and was now the second-in-command of Wuyuan City.

But we cannot rely on Lu Er for political matters. Now Yu Dayou has to manage both the military and civil affairs. He has written to Su Ze through the Capital Intelligence Station many times to complain, hoping to send a civil affairs talent from the southeast to come. Assist yourself in managing Wuyuan City.

Now Yu Dayou can only hold on.

He said: "The Governor said that it is helpful to open the book. I didn't understand these principles at first, but now I understand after reading the book."

"Alcohol, even if it is officially banned, will quickly flow into the underground and become a source of wealth for the rise of profiteering groups."

"Prohibition will not only make the prairie more stable, but will make the prairie more divided."

Lu Er still didn't understand.

Yu Dayou said: "The first thing is this denunciation order. As long as you denounce the wine merchants, you can get half of the family property. This kind of denunciation will inevitably transform from an ordinary alcohol prohibition into a means of persecuting legitimate businessmen."

"Stationmaster Lu, you have also been on the streets. It is common for rogue gangsters to hide contraband in honest businessmen's homes and then report them for blackmail, right?"

Lu Er nodded quickly. This method was commonly used in gangs in the capital. It even existed since the Han Dynasty.

"This kind of denunciation order will only cause chaos on the grassland and drive more normal businessmen out of the grassland."

"But commerce has penetrated into the grasslands. Herdsmen need merchants to collect their wool and furs, and merchants to bring daily necessities. When the normal law-abiding merchants leave, what is left are gangsters who can deter ordinary bad guys and are worse than rogue gangsters. ”

Lu Er nodded.

"The profits from smuggling alcohol are huge, and Prohibition also prevents the government from collecting taxes from the alcohol trade, and these profits will flow into the hands of gangs."

"Nowadays, there are more and more bankrupt people on the grassland, and the manpower the gangs need also has sources."

“The rise of rich and well-connected gangs will only make the grassland more chaotic and even more declining.”

Lu Er thought for a moment and said, "City Lord, do you want me to sneak into Bansheng City?"

Yu Dayou shook his head and said: "These things will happen without our promotion, and they will happen faster than you and I predict. Someone will definitely occupy these orders."

"We just need the slaves to develop and wait and see."
