Zhu Yijun had thought of many plans for the development of the prairie. In any case, Zhu Yijun wouldn't do immigration. Selling the prairie to merchants was a good idea for Zhu Yijun.
Of course, the merchants of Daming weren't just any ordinary merchants.
These people were either relatives of Honours or aristocrats. Zhu Yijun even felt like he was nurturing the Juncker nobles.
Speaking of the Juncker nobles, perhaps many people didn't know about them, but their name was really big.
The most typical Juncker nobles were in Germany or Prussia.
The Juncker noble class was originally the noble class of Prussia. Juncker, in German, meant "son of the landlord" or "little master".
It originally referred to the children of nobles without the title of knight, and later referred to the Prussian nobles and large landowners.
Since the 16th century, they had long monopolized military and political positions and held the leadership of the country.
Later, they began to capitalize and became semi-feudal aristocratic landowners.
They were the pillar of the reactionary forces of Prussia and Germany in the second half of the 19th century. They were the main supporters of Germany's socialist policy.
Looking at the current situation in Daming, it was basically the Honours and nobles who were running the business. Other than them, there were also the gentry. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were the big landowners.
Once they started selling the prairie, these people would enjoy the benefits of foreign wars. Umm, they would become Juncker nobles and promote socialism. Zhu Yijun felt that these people would definitely do it.
One had to know that the main force of the military was the Honours, and these people didn't care about benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, and trust.
As for the gentry, Zhu Yijun didn't expect them to care about benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, and trust. Right now, the mainstream ideology of Daming was that those who weren't of the same race must have a different heart. They were barbarians and needed to be educated.
Coupled with the motivation of benefits, Zhu Yijun didn't think that the gentry wouldn't do it. Capital was born with blood.
On the other hand, the Juncker noble class was extremely conservative in politics. They advocated absolute monarchy, advocated military force, and supported the protection of agriculture.
These were basically in line with the current situation in Daming.
The first representative of Germany's Juncker aristocracy was the iron-blooded prime minister Bismarck. He had a very classic saying, "The truth is only within the range of the cannon." Both he and Kaiser Wilhelm II were very famous.
William II planned and launched World War I.
This is basically what Zhu Yijun is doing right now. Crony capitalism combined with the Juncker Nobility, what kind of monster will be born from this, and where will the Daming be pushed to, Zhu Yijun isn't sure.
In any case, once this door was opened, the pace of expansion would not be able to stop.
However, in this era, with the backdrop of global colonization, Zhu Yijun felt that this kind of political system might be very suitable.
Zhu Yijun knew that a lot of things would change from one extreme to the other.
For example, in his previous life, Confucianism was revered, but in modern times, Confucius was overthrown, and Confucianism was completely nailed to the pillar of shame.
Many people admired the West and even felt that the West was the best. This was going from one extreme to the other.
Zhu Yijun felt that Confucianism was not aggressive enough, but when he cultivated a group of Juncker aristocrats, perhaps things would change from one extreme to the other, such as conquering the world.
In fact, Zhu Yijun was worried that the First World War wouldn't be started by the Daming!
However, Zhu Yijun wasn't too worried. In any case, with the current technology, it would be quite difficult to start a world war. Colonization was the main background.
This kind of system was beneficial to the Empire's strength and foreign colonization.
After finalizing the next policy, things became simple.
First, it was the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Ministry of Internal Affairs organized a large number of people and prepared to enter the 3 places.
There were also newly appointed officials from the 3 places. Among them, Chengde Prefecture's magistrate was personally appointed by Zhu Yijun.
This person was the previous Daxing County Magistrate, Sun Chengzong.
In the past few years, Sun Chengzong had been doing very well in Daxing County, and this time, he was directly promoted to Chengde Prefecture Magistrate.
Most of the remaining officials from the 3 places were civil servants.
Of course, Zhu Yijun couldn't ignore other people. After all, the civil servants also had their own requests.
After preparing the manpower, everyone set off in batches, heading straight for the grasslands.
Who was faster than these people?
It was the merchants who had arrived at Shenyang and Jinzhou a step earlier.
After hearing that the army had won, these people directly set off from Shenyang and Jinzhou, heading straight for the grasslands.
Their goal was simple, and that was the spoils of the army.
The spoils of the Ming Army would basically be divided into several parts. The first part would be given to the Emperor. No one dared to mess with this, so it would be around 40%.
The remaining 30% would be given to the Grand Marshal and the various generals.
The last 30% would basically be given to the soldiers.
Of course, the gold, silver, and other valuables that the soldiers seized basically belonged to whoever seized it first. Qi Jiguang wouldn't care about this.
The war horses seized from the grasslands were basically confiscated.
No one dared to say anything about this. Cattle and sheep had to be sold, and the merchants had long been eyeing this fat piece of meat.
Inside the camp of the Northern Army.
Qi Jiguang sat in the big tent with a big plate of roasted lamb in front of him. Below him was the Khan of the Fuyu sect, Balik, who was smiling obsequiously. At this moment, he was smiling and introducing the roasted lamb in front of him to Qi Jiguang.
"The grasslands are a rough place with some rough food. I'm sorry to make Grand Marshal laugh at me."
Qi Jiguang glanced at Balik and reached out to cut a piece of the lamb with a knife. He put his hand into his mouth and chewed a few times. He frowned and then took a small wooden bottle from behind him.
He opened the lid and sprinkled something on the lamb. Then, he stuffed the lamb into his mouth and nodded with satisfaction.
"Someone, give some cumin to Balik Khan. Let them have a taste of our Daming!" Qi Jiguang said to the guard behind him.
The guard didn't say anything and directly handed a small wooden bottle to Balik.
Balik took the small wooden bottle and imitated Qi Jiguang's actions. He then praised, "It's really delicious!"
Qi Jiguang glanced at Balik and asked, "Balik Khan, tell I about Horqin!
I is very curious about Horqin. I heard that Balik Khan is very close to them? "
Qi Jiguang knew that the Fuyu sect relied on Horqin. Of course, he said this on purpose.
Balik's heart trembled. Was he going to fight Horqin?
However, Balik didn't dare to ask. He was even more sure of his guess.
His small Fuyu sect was worth the Daming sending so many people to fight?
It wasn't realistic!
Now that he heard Qi Jiguang's question, Balik was finally sure that it was very likely that they were targeting Horqin!
At this time, Balik naturally wouldn't hide anything for Horqin. He wouldn't hesitate to betray his teammate.
