Chapter 682 A Bold Idea (Please vote and subscribe)
After Niu Wei expressed his intention to surrender, he did not immediately go to find Commander Xin, but stayed at the mission station, because Shouya had to send a letter to Luo Chong first to tell Luo Chong about the situation, and then wait for Luo Chong's subsequent plans and arrangements for Niu Wei.
Niu Wei had no objection to this, and he was happy to stay at the mission station every day, because it made him feel comfortable and convenient to do anything, just like when he lived in the Han tribe. Now if you ask him to live in the bamboo building again, I'm afraid he won't be used to it.
The letter was sent back quickly. At this time, Luo Chong had moved to the study room of his new home to work. The house here is very tall, with glass windows full of sunlight, and there are strong calcium carbide lamps at night, which makes him feel a little bit of returning to the modern world, very friendly and gratified. These are all the achievements made through his own efforts.
Xiaodie and Zhan Ying took their two children to play in the living room. The two little kids stood in the rattan walker and struggled to toss their legs, running around very naughty.
Luo Chong was dealing with the autumn harvest, winter storage and grain dispatching in the counties. The Han tribe had a large territory, but not every place produced grain. For example, in Xingang County, Dongxin County and Huxin Island, there was an iron mine for steelmaking, a coal mine for coal mining, and a chemical plant in the swamp. These three places were not suitable for growing grain, but they were very critical and had a large population, so the grain needed in these places could only be mobilized from other places.
The autumn grain in each county should be harvested and dried as soon as possible, and the tax grain should be turned in and stored in the warehouse in time. The grain warehouses in various places should also be prepared to purchase the surplus grain of the people, because the Han tribe planted high-yield crops, and the yield of rice and corn was not small. A family with 20 to 30 acres of land could not eat all the grain they grew. In addition to turning in part of the grain tax and their own food rations, the rest could be sold directly, which was the main income of an ordinary farmer in a year.
After the grain is collected through taxation and procurement, the tax grain will be directly sealed and cannot be used without special circumstances. The rest of the grain purchased through the grain warehouse will be distributed to the three main areas of Xingang County, Dongxin County, and Huxin Island.
However, these grains are not distributed unconditionally, but sold at a fair price there.
In these three places, one is for coal mining, one is for steelmaking, and one is for chemical industry. Although they do not produce grain, there are many workers. They usually work for the tribe, and the tribe also pays them wages. These wages are enough for them to support their families, so the grain will not be given for free, but they will have to pay for it themselves, because the tribe has already paid.
This matter involves the dispatch of materials and grain in all the territories of the entire Han tribe. The authority is very high, and there are many departments involved. It is a very important action, and Luo Chong must personally command and dispatch it.
At this time, Luo Chong would sigh that the administrative system is still not perfect. If he continues to work like this, he will be exhausted.
The Han tribe is centered around Luo Chong, and is divided into counties and prefectures. There are many local officials, and they can basically handle all kinds of affairs. However, there are too few officials in the central government, and too few senior officials who can do big things
. So although it seems that everything is going smoothly, Luo Chong is really busy. It's not that Luo Chong is reluctant to give up power, but no one wants to use him. He can't be an important official who handles national affairs without knowing anything, so he still has to be thrown to the bottom to hone his skills, starting with getting familiar with local government affairs. Otherwise, if a kid who just graduated from school goes directly to the central government, he doesn't even know what the process of local government affairs is, so how can he help Luo Chong command and dispatch all the counties and prefectures.
However, he has already made a plan. The Han tribe has established counties and prefectures for several years, and the oldest Liuyang County Governor Dashu has been in office for several years. He can appropriately promote a group of people from below, and then transfer these local administrative chiefs back to his side to listen to him.
Having made up his mind, Luo Chong quickly got busy, but soon a petty official delivered the letter from the beast tooth to Luo Chong's desk. Luo Chong smiled knowingly when he saw the report about Niu Wei's surrender. He guessed that this guy must have jumped in even though he knew he would die.
Sure enough, he jumped in because he had no choice. As for what Niu Wei should do, he hadn't decided yet. After all, he had never been to Zhudao and had only heard about the situation there. So at this time, Niu Wei, as the merchant elder of the Xin tribe, was very important because he was a senior member of the Xin tribe and knew much more about the Xin tribe and Zhudao than others.
So, Luo Chong did not give any opinions, but directly wrote back to Niu Wei to ask for his opinion, asking him to stand from the perspective of the Han tribe to see if there was any way to successfully take Zhudao, and then combine his original plan with the two to compare and see which one is better.
Of course, even if Niu Wei's method is adopted, Luo Chong's plan can still be implemented. His method is very gentle. It adopts a cultural transformation of the boiling frog style in warm water, fundamentally turning Zhudao into the territory of the Han tribe. This must be implemented no matter now or in the future.
The letter was sent back quickly, and then Shouya and Niu Wei were confused. They asked Niu Wei's method. What method could Niu Wei have?
Niu Wei himself couldn't figure out what method he had, so he started to think about it.
What does the Han leader mean by this? Is he testing me? Want me to do something small to test my loyalty? To see my determination to betray the Xin tribe? Or is he just asking me for an idea? Or does he want to take this opportunity to test his ability? To see if he can handle the big task? Niu Wei
's thoughts diverged. He thought about it and finally felt that he might have all these things, so what idea should he come up with?
The first thing to do is to show loyalty, and then you must quickly bring down the Xin tribe, that is, to gain actual control of Zhudao as soon as possible, and finally, this matter must allow you to gain enough benefits.
"Got it, let's do it." Niu Wei hurriedly wrote a letter himself, and then handed it to Shouya, asking him to deliver it to the chief on his behalf. Shouya
glanced at the content of the letter in confusion, and his eyes almost popped out.
"Elder Niu, this, can it work? It's too risky, right?"
"It may be risky for others to do it, but it is foolproof for Niu to do it. Don't forget, Han envoy, I am now the Shang elder of the Xin tribe, and the only one above me is Commander Xin." Niu Wei said very confidently.
"Well, since Elder Niu insists, I will pass it to the chief to see." Shouya had to send the letter back with a nervous mood. He felt that Zhudao might be about to change, and something really big was going to happen
