Da Qin: At the age of six, I beat Qin Shihuang at the beginning

Chapter 235 Qin Mu's Problem

Not only did Li Si not understand Qin Mu's smile, even Zu Long could not understand it.

What is new and what is old, a lot has been said, how should the problems of personnel and food and grass be solved?No or no?

If you don't solve this problem, no matter how loud you laugh or how confident you are, it's useless.

Zu Long felt a little embarrassed. As the king of a country, he could not protect the people on the border. If he wanted to send troops, he had to ask a six-year-old child to advise him and persuade his ministers.

Qin Mu is just a child, no matter how unbelievable, how can I place all my hopes on him when this kind of matter concerns the country's foundation?

In particular, Zu Long has already discovered that when he encounters a headache now, his first reaction is not to find a solution, but to ask Qin Mu if there is any good solution.

He now relies on Qin Mu even more than any minister in the court!
Li Si looked at Qin Mu's smile and didn't know why. He thought Qin Mu didn't know what to do, so he could only hide his embarrassment with a big laugh.

He curled his mouth and laughed too.The meaning is obvious, 'little son, I have seen through you!It's useless for you to laugh like that!I already knew what was on your mind!

"Old Li, do you know?" Qin Mu gradually stopped laughing, and looked at Li Si, who was still laughing unceasingly: "Your understanding is so good? I didn't realize it before!"

Li Si looked at Qin Mu, and his heart was filled with the superiority of seeing through others: "That's right! Young master, I have already seen through you!"

"Oh?" Qin Mu looked at him with interest: "Then tell me, what is my method?"

Li Si's face froze.Let me tell you what kind of solution you have prepared?What can you do?Aren't you just showing off your quick tongue?What can I say?
He immediately didn't know what to do: "Young master... you... you can tell yourself!"

Qin Mu smiled, thinking that Lao Li had suddenly become enlightened, but now it seems that he may have misunderstood something just now...

Now he is not in the mood to argue with him so much, but said very calmly: "Old Li, listen carefully, I have a few questions to ask you!"

"Okay..." Li Si responded dully with his head downcast.I don't know what's going on, but I seem to be overwhelmed by this young master.Since meeting him, the number of times I have lost face is comparable to the past half my life!
He secretly made up his mind that in the future, he would not object to any of Qin Mu's opinions, and he would not ridicule any of Qin Mu's words.After thinking this way, Li Si realized that he seemed to have made such a determination before...

Forget it, it’s useless to think so much, I’m born to be aggressive, it’s not just talking, I guess the next time the same scene happens, I can’t help but play the role that is destined to be slapped in the face...

Li Si was thinking wildly, but Qin Mu had already asked the first question in a deep voice: "Old Li, tell me, why did you send so many people?"

Li Si was taken aback. He didn't expect Qin Mu's first question to be so unskilled: "Is there even a need to say that? The Huns are cavalry, and my Daqin army is infantry! Infantry is at a disadvantage against cavalry. How else to fight?"

"That's good! Tell me, how many infantry do you need for a cavalry to bridge the gap?"

Li Si thought for a while, he was not an expert in this question, after all he was just a civil servant, did he lead troops to fight, so he looked at Wang Jian.

Wang Jian said in a deep voice: "Master Qin, you have never fought a war, so you don't understand the power of the cavalry! If you give the cavalry the right conditions, there will be no problem if one is equal to ten!"

"So, every time the Great Qin conquered the Xiongnu, at least 10 people went out! The number of available cavalry for the Xiongnu each time is about 50 to [-] to [-]. Therefore, [-] is the safest!"

Qin Mu nodded, and then asked the next question: "Ten infantry can support one cavalry, so let me ask, how many cavalry can one cannon support?"

"Huh?" Li Si was speechless.But I forgot this point. Is an infantry with a cannon still an infantry?Originally seeing the cavalry was regarded as seeing the natural enemy, but who is whose natural enemy now?

Qin Mu smiled coldly, and pointed to the cannon in the distance: "If you are proficient in this cannon, only three people can fully operate it! Even if you bring 30 cannons, that's [-] people! What's more, one or two A thousand gates is enough!"

"But... young master, don't forget, it's not just soldiers who send troops to fight! Your calculation only counts people who go to war, but who will deliver them food and grass? Who will deliver them shells? Isn't it all money? "

"Indeed, if calculated according to the previous algorithm, there will indeed be no fewer people. But, don't forget, we still have more things."

Qin Mu was full of confidence: "Old Li, two thousand cannons can wipe the Huns off the face of the earth! It's enough to fight and count, and 7000 people are enough! How many people will be needed to transport food for these 7000 people?"

Wang Jian answered this question directly, obviously a little worried: "For the logistics of 7000 people, at least 2 people are needed! If we go deep into the enemy's territory, the number will increase!"

He explained: "Master Qin, the food and grass for war are not only eaten by the soldiers. There are also civilians. They have to go deep with the army, and there is always some consumption on the road! Once the distance exceeds five hundred miles, the food and grass consumed by the civilians can be even higher. Even more than the soldiers! After all, they are carrying heavy food and grass all the time!"

Li Si looked at him, gave him a compliment in his heart, and directly took Qin Mu into the army at the critical moment.

In this way, unless Qin Mu can fundamentally solve the problem of food and grass, he can only admit defeat anyway.

Qin Mu is indeed not afraid of this sharp question: "That is to say, if I can solve the problem of grain and grass transportation, will the consumption be at least halved?"

Li Si nodded, with a look of determination on his face, and he was sure that Qin Mu had no choice: "If you attack the Xiongnu, the loss will be cut in half, and it can even be said that it only needs [-]% of the original!"

"That's easy!" Qin Mu's face revealed a ray of relaxation: "I thought this thing was so difficult!"

Li Si's eyeballs almost fell to the ground: "What do you mean? You can solve the problem of grain transportation?"

"Of course! Moreover, there is more than one solution to this problem!"

Zu Long's eyes suddenly sharpened.They seem to be talking about the Xiongnu issue now, but in fact, the discussion is about the problem that any abnormal war will face, that is, the consumption of food and grass for marginal service personnel.

Solving this problem means that many problems are solved!
