Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 113 Lack of Manpower
"Except for the reserve grain reserved for the purchase of population, there is about [-] shi of grain that can be used.

The first group of civilian husbands who went to transport taxes just got back the news yesterday that 50 shi of grain had been loaded and set off, and they would return to Yunzhou County in about seven days.

At the same time, with the increase of the population entering our Yunzhou County, we have organized three teams of peasants to transport grain, and it will take nearly three months to transport all the grain back. "

Li Yi replied respectfully.

Zhao Jun frowned when he heard this number. He still has quite a lot of forces under him, and the daily consumption is about tens of thousands of stones. It will take seven days for the first batch of spring tax to arrive, so the food that can be used is only About one hundred thousand.

But when he heard Li Yi say that it would take almost three months to bring back the spring tax, he immediately said in a deep voice:

"too slow!

There are three crops a year in Nanli County. The spring tax is followed by the autumn harvest and then the east harvest. The autumn harvest is not bad. If the east harvest is still at this speed, it is impossible to say how many people will freeze to death in Yunling due to the cold wave in the mountains. Among the mountains.

With the addition of six more civilian husband teams to transport food, the time for this king was compressed into one month.

In a month at most, we have to ship back all the immediate tax revenue from Nanli County! "

Hearing Zhao Jun's decision, Li Yi was a little embarrassed: "But we will have to spend a lot of food in this way. The nine peasant teams each need five thousand peasants and hundreds of mules, horses and ox carts to go back and forth. To transport 50 shi of grain back, these peasants alone will consume [-] shi of grain along the way.

If we raise a team of nine peasants, it means that nearly 15 peasants will be needed to go back and forth, and food and grass will be consumed at about [-] shi. It will take five trips in more than a month, plus the wages for those peasants. The food consumed in transportation is [-] shi a season!
Your Majesty the King of Yun, this consumption is really too great! "

hiss!
After listening to Li Yi's analysis, even though he was prepared, Zhao Jun couldn't help but gasped.

It actually takes nearly 35 civilians to form a team of nine civilians!The population of Song people in Yunzhou County was only [-] before they were recruited. Wouldn't that mean one-seventh of the population? !

The food consumption on this road is even more terrifying. The daily consumption of 5 people is two catties of food per person, and the consumption of nearly 15 shi for a round trip in more than a month. [-] shi of grain consumption.

This consumption is really a bit scary.

Some people may say, you have collected more than 2000 million shi of grain this season, where is the 15 shi?

But speaking of this, you have to understand how much 15 shi of grain is!
A strong man can eat two catties of grain a day. (Only referring to ancient times, there were few other non-staple foods, so there were more staple foods)

One month is 250 catties. Calculated according to a family of five, a family is about 250 catties, and a year is [-] times twelve, which is [-] catties of grain.

How many stones is three thousand catties?
The answer is thirty stone!

A family of five consumes only 15 shi a year, and this 5000 shi grain is enough for a family of five to live for [-] years!

This should be able to understand the horror of this number, right?
Although the food consumption is horrific, after thinking about the current situation in Yunzhou County, Zhao Jun still said firmly: "There is nothing we can do if the consumption is too high. What I need in Yunzhou County now is time. When it comes, it will be transformed into its own strength through this spring tax.

No matter how low the combat effectiveness of body poison is, it is the military strength of a country and cannot be underestimated.

So it consumes a lot.

In this way, three transfer stations are established in the Yunling Mountains to stabilize the transportation channel between the two parties, so that the materials can be transferred quickly. "

Since Zhao Jun, King Yun, agreed, Li Yi couldn't persuade him any more, so he nodded and agreed.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Zhao Jun say: "Also, since we still have 1000 shi of grain available (we need to save [-] shi for our own consumption)", then send a [-]-member escort to transport the [-] shi to In the pass, supply those people who are coming to our Yunzhou County, and don't let them consume needlessly on the road. "

"Yes! I understand!"

Li Yi nodded respectfully, seeing that the matter was almost negotiated, he resigned without even a meal.

Zhao Jun didn't keep him either. There are too many things to do now, and manpower is needed in all aspects. It's not like in the past. It's more important to do business. Not bad for their rations.

Soon, Li Yi, who received Zhao Jun's order, issued three notices from the county yamen.

First of all, the folks. This time, the Yamen will recruit nearly [-] civilians to transport grain to the Yunling Mountains. Each person will be paid ten catties of grain per day. The original Yunzhou County people are fine as soon as the news comes out.

Those people who had just been taken from the customs to Yunzhou were instantly sensational.

The crowd who had regained some physical strength after being raised in Yunzhou County for two days immediately flocked to them, almost breaking the recruitment site. Seeing these refugees clamoring for their own, the recruitment site Sweat dripped from the forehead of the yamen servant like a spring.

Fortunately, the guards arrived after a while, and the order of the battlefield was stabilized, and the yamen servants began to recruit qualified civilian husbands according to the requirements.

And the second decree of the yamen is also to summon civilian husbands, but the physical requirements of the civilian husbands summoned this time are not as high as those who need to cross the Yunling Mountains. The civilian husbands recruited this time are transported from Yunzhou County to Guannei , the purpose is to deliver food to those coming refugees and avoid dying on the road.

When the common people learned that this was from the meaning of King Yun, they all praised King Yun for his benevolence. If it was someone who was not handed over to them by others, they would not care how much they starved to death. A sage with a benevolent heart like King Yun would be willing to give food to these people for nothing.

As for the third point, it is the announcement of the guard army recruitment. This time the guard army will recruit more than 5000 new recruits to expand the size of the entire guard army.

Of course, [-] regular soldiers were recruited on the surface, and the remaining [-] were auxiliary soldiers to transport food and grass for the guards, also known as civilian husbands.

After all, the authority given by the imperial court to Yunzhou County can only support [-] troops, so it is still worth living in face.

It's just that the physical fitness required to recruit the guards is very high.

The first is "clothing three-genre (that is, three-layer) armor, which is a complete set of armor composed of three parts: the upper body, the thigh, and the shin.

Then use the Nine Stones Crossbow, that is, you can use a crossbow with a bow force of more than 270 kilograms.

Finally, bear three crossbow boxes (with the same energy, that is, the quiver), and the crown shaft (with the same helmet) with the sword, win (that is, carry) the food for three days, and travel a hundred miles in the middle of the day. "It must be "pilot test" before it can be "taken"

That is to say, on the basis of being able to wear a whole set of armor and pull a ten-stone bow and crossbow, you have to hold a long halberd in your hand, hang an iron sword at your waist, hold a rhinoceros face on your back, and carry three crossbow boxes and a strong crossbow on your back. Soldiers who carry rations for three days and can march a hundred miles in one day can be selected.

Such harsh conditions are daunting, but the high salary of the guards has attracted countless warriors who feel that they have the ability to step forward.

Finally, since Yunzhou County began to purchase refugees from the pass, there are now more than 20 people in Yunzhou County who have reached the vicinity of Yunzhou City.

Among them, less than [-] people could be selected!
That is, more than 20 people can choose one.

But the guards are not in a hurry. This time, the people above said that the selection of soldiers is expensive and not too many. All the recruits to be recruited this time must follow high standards. No one, no way.

Now that there are more people coming from Yunzhou County, it is natural to choose those who are in good health.

After all, according to the current trend, the number of guards in Yunzhou County may not be limited to 10 people. In the future, these recruits today must be the same officers as they are now, and it is not a bad thing to be demanding.

In this way, with the continuous arrival of refugees every day, the three recruitment sites continued to screen out those who agree with their own conditions, and soon after leaving the recruitment site, the other two sites found enough people, and the recruitment site was cancelled.

Only the recruiting office remained, and countless refugees yearned but were helpless. They yearned for the high salary of the guards, but they were helpless that their own conditions were not enough to be recruited...

　I slept for a whole day, just woke up at six o'clock, and I'm making updates.

　　This chapter requires too much data and I wrote it for three hours. I smiled bitterly and made up the remaining one as soon as possible.

　　In addition, the selection criteria are based on the selection criteria of Wei Wuzu, and then reduced. After all, according to my idea, these 10 people will be officers for the expansion of the army in the future, so it is possible to have higher quality requirements.

　　As for the bow strength of crossbow arrows, I checked a lot of information, and it is true that the soldiers of many dynasties in ancient times had different requirements for this point because of the different measurement methods of each dynasty, but it is almost the same when converted into today's kilograms.

　　Some people with great strength can still pull the nine-stone crossbow, which is more than 200 kilograms (the weight here does not refer to the weight of the crossbow, but the bow force required to pull the crossbow, which is the unit of measurement of strength), of course It was pushed up by the waist and horse together. If it was purely by hand, few of them could pull such a heavy crossbow.
