Chapter 534 Promotion and Fortune
After Li Si finished speaking, it was naturally the turn of the military leader Fan Yuqi to speak. Fan Yuqi's mental state had improved a lot in the past year, and his originally plump figure had become even more bloated!
Fan Yuqi felt that his life was about to reach its peak. Because of the rebellion of Chang'an Jun, his entire family was executed, and other countries were afraid to take him in due to the prestige of Qin. It can be said that he was extremely sad at that time.

Who would have thought that God played a big joke on him. He now became the general of the Tang State, and by the way, he just defeated Wang Jian, who was known as the best general in the world. It can be said that his life reached its peak in an instant.

Although he did not achieve his ultimate goal of breaking into Xianyang to avenge his family, being able to defeat the Qin army was enough to make Fan Yuqi feel that his life was fulfilled.

After all, in the more than 100 years since Shang Yang's reforms, even the coalition forces of the six countries have not been able to break into the city of Xianyang. Being able to inflict heavy losses on the Qin State on the front battlefield was enough for Fan Yuqi to take revenge.

There was no way. At that time, everyone's thoughts and ideas did not have any idea of great unification. The highest ideal in everyone's mind was to become famous in all countries. As for directly destroying all countries to achieve unification, few people could accept or understand it.

"My king, I have selected 100,000 elite soldiers and 150,000 auxiliary soldiers. I will be able to select another 50,000 elite soldiers and 100,000 auxiliary soldiers in the spring. By then, whether we attack Chu or Wei, we will be able to expand our territory!"

Fan Yuqi said that he had never fought such a prosperous war in his life. All the soldiers not only had three meals a day, but could also eat some meat occasionally to improve their diet. They could even get military merits and land!

It is true that in the past, the soldiers in the Qin State could change their status and class by killing the enemies, but it was too difficult to upgrade through Qin law.

Qin law stipulated that an ordinary soldier had to chop off the head of an armored soldier in order to be promoted to a public official and thus achieve class crossing.

But, are warriors so easy to kill?

Before Korea became the Tang Dynasty, the total number of soldiers in the entire country of Korea was about 80,000, but the number of armored soldiers among them was less than 3,000!

These three thousand armored soldiers are basically the strongest fighting force under Ji Wuye. It can be said that even if they encounter ordinary Qin soldiers, these soldiers can inflict a one-to-one casualty loss!

In addition, each of these soldiers is equipped with at least five or six miscellaneous soldiers following him, which means that if you want to kill this soldier to upgrade, you must at least have the strength to behead him when surrounded by several people.

Therefore, the Qin Law only looks good. Even if a normal person really wants to risk his life for a good future, if he does not have the ability to fight ten people with one, then there is basically no hope.

But this is obviously not the case with the Tang Kingdom!
It has only been a short period of half a year since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, but many veterans have already crossed classes by playing the entire game. The King of Tang is more than ten times more generous in rewarding them than the stingy King of Qin.

First, those who participated in the defense of Chu State will be directly promoted half a level, and those who have made meritorious service will be promoted one level!
Those who participated in the surprise attack on Luoyang will be directly upgraded to the next level, and those who participated in the offensive and defensive battles later will be upgraded to another level!
As for the Chu State counterattack that just ended, most people were promoted to the next level, which means that many people were promoted four levels in just one year, from the lowest level third-class private to lieutenant.

By the way, the military rank system of the Tang Dynasty was different from that of the Qin Dynasty. Soldiers were initially recruited as miscellaneous soldiers, then promoted to privates first class and then to lieutenants, which were almost the lowest rank of nobility!

It is true that the welfare benefits of a lieutenant are actually lower than those of a doctor and he cannot be considered a true aristocrat, but the difficulty of upgrading is low!
You have to know that it has been more than a hundred years since Shang Yang's reforms, and there are only a handful of Qin soldiers who have been promoted from privates to doctors, basically only one or two a year at most!

However, it has only been one year since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, but thousands of people have been directly promoted to lieutenant officers. Even Fan Yuqi and Li Si kept reminding Li Qingyuan that the promotion speed was too fast and must be slowed down.

Therefore, being a soldier in the Tang Kingdom is the most desirable career for all young people. If Li Si had not been afraid that there would be too many soldiers and no one would go to farm, and had he greatly improved the selection standards, it is estimated that at least 400,000 troops would be mobilized by now! "There is no need to go through so much trouble. You can just send soldiers to the border to cook porridge!"

Originally, Li Qingyuan was prepared to rely on his intelligence and years of experience in strategic games to crush the entire battle.

After all, isn’t it said that time travelers are omnipotent? With the so-called postmodern fighting style and cyber warfare experience of thousands of years, can they directly crush those so-called ancient generals?
But who would have thought that he would have trouble leading his troops out of the city. It was not a problem if he had a few hundred people, but when the number of people increased, he couldn't even figure out the basic marching formation.

So he had no choice but to give up the idea of conquering the world himself and start letting his subordinates do the work.

Unfortunately, this period is a time of transition and the generals he knows are either not yet born or already in high positions. It is very difficult to find a few suitable candidates.

So Li Qingyuan thought of a question that often appears on Tieba Douyin.

If you could provide your subordinates with unlimited porridge and pickled mustard tubers, what could you do?
Unlimited supply is naturally impossible. After all, the food he took out was also sponsored by other planes. He really doesn't have the ability to create things out of thin air.

However, due to the rapid development of productivity and the super explosion of population, even if all the people in the world come together to eat, he can still support the food for three to five months if he opens up the supply.

“Go to the border to distribute porridge?”

Upon hearing Li Qingyuan's order, Fan Yuqi and Li Si were both stunned.

Although the King of Tang did make a lot of money in the past year, which made the happiness of the entire Tang people soar and enter a well-off society, South Korea has accumulated wealth for hundreds of years. In addition, Bai Yifei killed so many nobles and made a lot of property from their families.

Li Qingyuan can certainly create things out of thin air, but in the eyes of Li Si and Fan Yuqi, the food and armor he created also need to be exchanged for things. It cannot violate objective laws, right?

But what if we go to the border to distribute porridge now?

So the king is planning to gather refugees from other countries?

But what’s the use of gathering those refugees?
There was no way. Even though Li Qingyuan had used money distribution to increase the support of the people of the Tang Kingdom during this period, neither Li Si, Fan Yuqi, nor even Jing Wei could see the reason!

The Qin army was defeated thanks to the soldiers' dedication, and the Chu State was defeated thanks to Fan Yuqi's proper command. In other words, even the Jinyiwei under Jingwei seemed to be much more useful than the common people.
