元代武宗海山对哈剌和林边民的粮食供给问题探析

A Probe into the Food Supply to the Hala-helin Settlers by Wuzong Haishan of Yuan Dynasty

从13世纪末到14世纪初,海都、笃哇等中亚蒙古势力屡次侵入漠北蒙古地区。海都死后,中亚蒙古势力与元朝的关系趋于缓和。此后,元朝漠北边防问题转入新的局面,即如何确保大批边民①的粮食供给问题成为当朝政府亟须解决的问题。元廷通过运粮、屯田等一系列有效措施解决了和林边民的粮食问题,并为和林地区的农业发展做出了贡献。

From the end of 13th century and the beginning of the 14th century,some central Asian Mongolian forces like Haidu and Duwa had invaded northern desert.After Haidu＇s death,the relationship between these Mongolian forces and Yuan Dynasty were improved.Henceforth,the frontier defense in northern desert had faced a new problem which had to be solved by the government,that is,how to guarantee the food supply to the large amount of settlers.Through the food transportation and cultivation of wasteland,the government gave such problem an effective solution,which contributed to the agricultural development in Helin religion.
