The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 411 Changing Yuan to Seek Unification (2005)
It is different from Guan Yi's previous battles where he first asked for money and food, and then made plans.In the past, Ji Han was very poor, and if he had a few dollars, he would fight for a few dollars.But it’s different now. Now it’s Da Sima who talks about the plan first, and then your economic and logistics officials are responsible for providing the guarantee of the plan: How much money will I need for this battle?You are responsible for preparing enough money for me!
Therefore, after the approval of the entire strategic plan, everyone turned their attention to Mi Zhao and Simplicity.

The two looked at each other, and both saw a wry smile at each other.

"Your Majesty, Da Sima, all the superiors." Mi Zhao came out and said, "I will first report to you about the people's livelihood this year. This year, in June of the ninth year of Yanxing, Da Si Nong Mansion updated the statistics of the national household registration. Excluding the royal family, officials, officials, soldiers, all kinds of servants, and tax-free household registrations under the names of various big families, there are currently a total of 2903 million people in the national register, including the 5 people who were recently exterminated from baldness and Nan'an Qiang. 300 people, still less than 300 million. Among the nearly 180 million people, women first accounted for about [-] million."

When Mi Zhao reported this number, Guan Yi's face couldn't help but twitch: It's true that in troubled times, people's lives are like dogs, but troubled times have to be divided into stages.In the early days of troubled times, when the power of destruction completely surpassed the power of order, on the one hand, a large number of people died, and on the other hand, young and strong men had far more chances of survival than old and weak women and children.So at that stage, there were more men than women.In the later period of troubled times, although the whole world is still conquered, local order is guaranteed.At this stage, the young and strong are constantly losing money, while the old, weak, women and children have a better chance of surviving.

Therefore, in Ji Han's country now, generally speaking, there are more women than men.

"Among the remaining nearly 120 million men, about 40 are over the age of 25. Those under the age of 20 account for nearly 40. Therefore, there are currently only 55 men suitable for military service in the three states of the country. Therefore, If, according to Da Sima's strategy just now, the army is expanded to 30, and at the same time 55 civilians are recruited to support the logistics, then about 28 men will be recruited from the 55 men, which is almost one out of two... I want to remind everyone that these [-] men are not all farmers. There are also quite a few craftsmen and businessmen..."

In the past, Zhuge Liang often did this kind of thing, but when Jiang Wei presided over the Northern Expedition, in order to support Jiang Wei, Chen Di did it not often, but for a long time.As a result, all industries in the former Shu Han Dynasty were in decline, and the population growth rate almost stagnated.If Guan Yi did the same, it would be a bad one. Ji Han's national power, which has begun to prosper these years, will inevitably decline rapidly.

"With regard to the issue of recruiting strong men, it is of course too much to draw one out of two men. But in any case, for this unprecedented war, it is inevitable to recruit a large number of strong men to join the army. What I mean is that Nanzhong, Jiaozhou, and Fuling counties , Wenshan County, Hanjia County, Yongliang Alien Race, and even the Western Regions can find ways to recruit troops from these places. In the past, the country was poor, and the settlement fee for conscription here was very little. Now that the treasury is rich, the settlement fee can be used What should be given enough. Moreover, the work of transporting grain and grass can be given to the foreigners in Yongliang to do more. Their women and children can also gallop on horses... In short, strive to treat the young men of the Han people The number of draws has been reduced to the level of one out of three."

"Obey, my subordinates should try their best to make a plan and strive to achieve the goal of Da Sima."

"Well, next, let's talk about money and food."

"Hehe." At this time, Mi Zhaohe's simple expression became very relaxed: "Your Majesty, Da Sima, everyone, when it comes to money and food, we two have nothing to complain about."

He simply buried his head and looked at the account book in his hand: "Everyone, as of this year's autumn harvest, there are a total of 300 million shi in grain and 180 billion in money in the treasury. Shi Yamen, the governor of Liufu, made a budget, according to 30 soldiers , 95 war horses, 300 men, [-] donkeys and mules. The monthly grain consumption is about [-] shi. In this way, the grain in stock can last for three years. As for the problem of money, it seems that the stock is now Not too much, but that's mainly because the Da Si Nong Mansion and the Liu Mansion Chief Shi Yamen are spending a lot of money, such as building infrastructure projects according to Da Sima's orders. In addition, the salaries of officials and soldiers are also high. They are all issued in full amount. Therefore, it seems that there is not much inventory. But if there is a war, the construction of various infrastructure projects will definitely slow down or even stop, and the copper coins in the treasury will soon exceed [-] billion. In this case, no matter It is the settlement allowance for conscription, double the salary of soldiers during the war and even the pension after the war, etc., are all sufficient.”

After listening to the simple report, Guan Yi turned around: "Do you have any questions, Your Majesty?"

Liu Chen thought about it carefully: "Da Si Nong, Gu, uh, I have a question. If all these strong men go to the battlefield, then farming will definitely be damaged. What is the damage rate? Will it be possible? There is a shortage of labor, not only not enough to pay taxes to the court, but also the possibility that the court will take out things from the treasury?"

"Your Majesty cares about the people, and it is the blessing of all people." After flattering Liu Chen, Mi Zhao bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, because the imperial court has spent a lot of effort in building various water conservancy facilities and promoting various new species Therefore, the yield per mu in the three prefectures of Yiyong and Liangzhou is constantly increasing, even if there is a drought, they can still harvest. Moreover, due to the abundance of animal power, many fields, even if they are cultivated by women and underage men, the output It won't be too much less... The Dasinong Mansion recently made a calculation. If the national policy of drawing out one out of three is implemented, then in the first year, the national yield per mu can be maintained at about [-]% of this year's. In the second year, [-]% Half, more than [-]% in the third year. However, compared to agriculture, the cultivation of craftsmen is more time-consuming, so too many young men are recruited, which will have a greater impact on the output of various workshops... In short, if the war lasts only three years, the country can bear it. If the war lasts for more than three years, the country's production will decline severely, and it will be more difficult to recover."

"Well, it's no wonder Da Sima set the time for this war to be within three years. I understand. I have another question for the governor of the residence. Many women in my big man now produce silk and woolen products at home. A large number of men go out to fight, and this woman will spend more time cultivating the fields. Therefore, the reduction in production of silk and woolen products is predictable. The reduction in production of silk products is fine, anyway, except for high-ranking officials, this product is exported to the Western Regions. But this woolen product If the production is reduced, the demand for wool of the grassland tribes will decrease significantly. It took me many years to reduce the proportion of horses and cattle and increase the proportion of sheep in the grassland tribes. But in this way, will the livelihood of the grassland tribes be affected? Affected? Will this cause instability in Yongliang?"

"Your Majesty can think of this level, it can be said that you can see thousands of miles! But Your Majesty, our Han family went out to fight, and the men and women of the grassland tribes either followed us to fight, or they were helping us to carry food and grass. During this process, we It is for money! Therefore, instead of affecting the livelihood of the tribes in the grassland, they will benefit from it. Besides, the two largest tribes in Yongliang and Liangzhou, the bald Xianbei and Nan'an Qiang, have been destroyed. All the tribes are still very weak. Therefore, when the livelihood is not seriously damaged, the possibility of rebellion by the grassland tribes is extremely small."

"Good, if that's the case, I don't have any doubts."

After Liu Chen finished asking questions, everyone basically agreed.

"Good, everyone, the national policy has been decided, and the next step is the specific work. First, Shi Yamen, the commander of the army, is responsible for starting the conscription after this year's autumn harvest. The number of soldiers is 18. The number of Han people should be less than 15. But in order to ensure the proportion of Han people in the national army, it should be at least 12. One hundred thousand civilians should recruit as many as possible from other races, even women and children. The recruits must all enter the camp before the end of this year. Once the army moves, it can start at any time!"

"Huo is taking orders!"

"Secondly, the training of recruits. For this matter, the generals, chariot generals, and general guards are responsible. I need you to train the newly recruited 18 recruits to at least a basic appearance within half a year. Make sure they don't lose their movements when they follow the veterans to the battlefield."

"Jiang Wei, Zhang Yi, and Luo Xian take orders!"

"Thirdly, take stock of all kinds of public projects across the country. If the completion rate is more than [-]%, we will speed up the completion. The rest will be terminated. All kinds of civil servants who participate in the construction will be given priority in the list of conscription objects. This matter, stay in the government The Changshi Yamen is in charge."

"Simple order!"

"Fourth, prepare to support all kinds of money and food, and complete the reserves of strategic materials such as cement, weapons, armor, and grain in Huayin, Fengyi, Wuyuan and other places in advance. The Dasinong Mansion is responsible for this matter."

"Mi Zhao takes command!"

"As for sending people to link up with the aristocratic families and alien races in the Jin Kingdom, and to launch intelligence cover-up and strategic deception, I will notify Si Wencao to start the launch later... Gentlemen, today's matter is of great importance, and it must not be done. Leaked a little bit of information. Although once we start conscription, Jin will definitely be alarmed. But our main strategic attack direction must be hidden as much as possible. Si Wencao will also focus on guiding the other party to the direction of Tongguan in the next work to think about."

"Please don't worry, Da Sima, what happened today will definitely not be spread to the outside world!"

"Your Majesty, the minister has made arrangements. If everything goes well, the Grand Sima Mansion plans to send troops next year, that is, in June and July of the first year of Guiyuan!"

"Quasi-play! Dear friends, I am too young and ignorant to be of much help. But once the war breaks out, the royal family will definitely set an example... In short, I entrust the country to you here!"

"I have won His Majesty's trust, so I dare not do my best to die! I will live up to Your Majesty's entrustment, and let me once again rule the world!"
