Warring States Eagle

This time period was before the arrival of the Little Ice Age, but abnormal weather also began to appear.In the past two years, the Luo family's territory has suffered several rainstorms and snowstorms, followed by drought.The country of Wa is also an earthquake-prone area, and several small earthquakes have occurred in recent years. Along with the earthquakes, there are also volcanic eruptions.At this time, in the territory of the Luo family, the most famous volcanoes were the Mount Aso volcano in the Higo country, and the Jiurenju and Yufudake volcanoes in the Bungo country.The occurrence of these natural disasters has indeed brought a lot of impact on the income of the Luo family's territory.Fortunately, these disasters are not continuous, and the frequency is not high.

Although there are many natural disasters, it is ridiculous (this is much better than modern society), but it did not cause the deaths of the citizens in the territory, but only some unlucky citizens were injured.Just in order to restore production in those areas affected by the disaster as soon as possible, the Luo family's cabinet has successively invested nearly [-] shi in materials.

In addition, every year, the Internal Affairs Cabinet needs to spend more than 50 shi in materials for the implementation of the Luo family's assistance laws, labor service system, recruitment and resettlement of refugees, relocation and resettlement of leaders, and military merit awards; The consumption of retainers, military power, branch salaries, and daily work and training under the Intelligence Pavilion, Gongfang Pavilion and other institutions also requires an average of more than 30 shi in a year.Adding up the above-mentioned consumption, in fact, the materials that the Luo family can store up every year are only hundreds of thousands of stones.According to the previous consumption situation, the current Luo family's 300 million stone territory (note, these 300 million stones. It is the total output of all the Luo family's territories. Before the Luo family collects taxes, the leaders and the entrusted retainers and others need to Receive part of the income), after collecting taxes, the income that actually falls into the hands of the Luo family will be at least more than 150 million shi.And this is the income that the Luo family can use every year.

This is the price the Luo family has to pay for investing heavily at this stage, and then waiting for a longer and greater income in the future.And as time goes by, in the next few years, when Chikuzen, Bungzen, Bungo, and even Nagato, Zhoufang, and Anyi countries will become the same as Hizen, Higo, and Chikugo area, then the internal affairs of the Luo family will be greatly improved.

Of course, the above situation is the daily consumption of the Luo family when there is no large-scale war.Once the war begins.Moreover, when the war practice lasts for a long time, it will increase a lot of material reserves.

Take the Battle of Itsukushima and the Raiders of the Western Kingdom this time as an example. It lasted eleven months and invested more than 8 people. As of August this year, the Luo family had already consumed 13 shi. Grain, damage to more than 2000 long spears, more than 1000 knives, more than 100 iron cannons, more than 300 Roche armors, more than 60 pairs of Roche armor, more than 3000 Roche bows, more than [-] bows and tires, consumption of arrows More than [-] guns, more than [-] horses were injured, more than [-] rounds of iron cannon bullets were consumed, and thousands of catties of gunpowder were consumed.The reason why so much food is consumed.This is mainly due to the local forest terrain in the West Country.There are many mountains and forests in Xiguo, and the mountain roads are rugged.Often I have seen the front, but it took me a long time to get there after stumbling on the mountain road.And the reason why the strategy was so fast this time was because there were rich families and leaders who surrendered in the local area to lead the way, and they could take small paths. In addition, the detectives who had been ambushing in the local area for a long time to find out the news also played a big role. The role of leading the way and persuading surrender, and in order to transport logistical materials, large-scale naval forces are also used.In order to quickly transport materials locally, a large number of wheelbarrows were also deployed from warehouses in Kyushu, and a large number of temporary farmers and soldiers were recruited to deliver them.But even so, with the local terrain hindering and the use of a large number of personnel, the consumption is naturally huge.

And this is just the previous consumption. In the next time, Zheng Liang will need to spend a lot of supplies in several places.For example, a large number of post-war pensions and military merit awards are also a great consumption.But this is the age of war, so it is natural to increase investment in this area. After all, if you want the horse to run, you must give it good enough grass, otherwise the combat effectiveness of the Luo family's army will decline.Another example is that there are still refugees from the areas around the territory of the Luo family's forces, lured by the propaganda of the Luo family's spies from all over the country, are constantly pouring into the areas occupied by the Luo family in the Western Kingdom. At that time, it will naturally cost a lot of food and other materials to settle these refugees.

For all kinds of damaged weapons, according to the laws of the Luo family, they will naturally be sent back to the workshop in Kyushu for repairs. If they are really unusable, they can only be dismantled and returned to the furnace.The injured war horses will send maintenance staff from the ranch in Kyushu to heal their injuries. After these horses recover from their injuries, those who can continue to fight will naturally return to the team with honor. Those who cannot continue to participate in the war will be sent back to the two ranches in Kyushu. The responsibility of "bearing children" is gone.As for the soldiers of the Luo family who had no weapons because their weapons were damaged, they naturally followed the rules and reapplied for new weapons under the organization of the team's army.Judging from the current damage situation, the strategic material reserves in the Luo family's warehouse can still meet the needs of the soldiers to replenish their weapons.

Of course, as the saying goes, there are gains and losses.In this raid, the Luo family not only obtained a large area of ​​territory and mineral deposits from the former Ouchi family, but also seized a lot of materials.There are more than 6 stones of various miscellaneous grains alone, and more than 2 weapons of various types (more than 400 were damaged. These weapons will be dismantled and returned to the furnace, and then re-transformed according to the standard of Luo's family weapons. into new weapons), more than [-] war horses, more than [-] cattle, more than [-] gold, silver and copper coins after conversion, more than [-] warships of various types, and strategic materials such as ore, cloth, cotton, and even silk. There are more than a dozen warehouses piled up.

These are not the most important, the population is the bigger gain.During this inspection, there were more than [-] registered citizens of Nagato State, including more than [-] young and strong, and more than [-] children; Zhou Fangguo had more than [-] registered citizens, including [-] young and strong. There are more than [-] people, including more than [-] children; in the area occupied by the Luo family in Anyiguo, there are more than [-] registered residents, including more than [-] young and middle-aged people, and more than [-] children; more than [-] people in Tsushima There are more than [-] registered citizens in the area occupied by the Luo family in Bingo State; more than [-] registered residents in the area occupied by the Luo family in Yiyu State.

From the above situation, it can be seen that the proportion of young adults and children in Nagato, Zhoufang, and Anyi countries is very small.So why is this happening?

(Khan! It seems that everyone is not very willing to vote. In the past two weeks, there were only dozens of votes a day on average, but in the week I just came back, I got nearly [-] votes a day! I am asking everyone for votes here.)
