The heavens start from saving Daming

Preparations for war against Mitsukoshi have begun.

At the very beginning, it was to adjust the officials of the counties surrounding Mitsukoshi.

A group of officials with strong ability and experience in war logistics were arranged to go to various counties to make preliminary preparations.

What they have to do is not hoarding food and grass, but the most basic search for manpower, arranging guides to draw maps of Mitsukoshi, building warehouses for storing military supplies in various places, building bridges and repairing roads when encountering mountains and rivers, and cleaning up Mitsukoshi spies that may exist in the territory , storage

Prepare medicinal materials to deal with mosquito infestation, etc.

A big battle, especially a war of destroying a country, is not like in some novels, where the protagonist slaps his head and shouts 'I want to destroy your whole family~~~' and then takes 50 cavalry without any preparations or needs The road will go straight across, sweeping across any terrain

Enemy.

This kind of thing only exists in the fantasy world, and it can be done with magic.

In the real world, even if it is just a grain of corn, if you want to transport it to the front line, you must make the best preparations.

Because Li Yunze wanted to use unprecedented sea transportation tactics, the preliminary preparations also included building a navy in Kuaiji County.

Of course, most of the preparatory work has been completed.

Such as digging docks, building shipyards, looking for felling and transporting qualified shipbuilding timber, especially the extremely important and long process of drying in the shade, have all been completed in advance.

So when Li Danghu rushed over, the scene of building sea ships was already in full swing.

"Captain."

Li Danghu greeted the superintendent of the shipyard and asked, "So-and-so's navy, how many ships are there now, and how many people are there?"

With the technological level of this era, it is natural that they can only be called navy.

Not to mention the navy, it can't even be called a navy.

"Return to the governor's words." The governor responded with a salute, "four large ships with [-] materials have been delivered, and six small sea ships with [-] materials. As for the warships, they have not yet been built. Thousands of boatmen and sailors have been recruited from all over the world. , the sailors in the middle tower of the county should be two thousand people."

The material is the unit used by Huaxia Shipbuilding. The sea-going ships with 260 materials are basically the improved drawings of Fuchuan and Shachuan, and their displacement is between 280 tons and [-] tons.

As for the most important load, it is above 180 tons.

One stone made in Han Dynasty weighs 120 catties, and if converted into modern times, one catty in Han Dynasty is 250 grams, which is half a catty.

In such a conversion, it means that a large ship with [-] materials can transport more than [-] shi of grain at a time.

Don't think it is small, it is definitely a giant in this era.

As for the small sea boat with [-] materials, there is no need to say more, just halve it.

It's not that we can't come up with bigger ships, but there are practical difficulties.

The first is the difficulty of construction.

The big man does not have as many high-quality talents as the later generations. He can come to mathematics, physics and chemistry with his mouth open, draw drawings in minutes, and basically understand all kinds of knowledge.

Most of the people in this era are illiterate, and the technical level of the big ships is also high, so it is difficult for them to understand and get started.

And it is impossible for a very small number of high-quality talents to come here to build ships, so from a technical point of view, it is not impossible to build super-large sea ships, but it will take geometric multiples of time and energy, plus manpower and material resources.

Just like the certain He, who lived a good life, if he had the time, energy, manpower and material resources to build this thing, it would definitely make a world of difference to build a few aircraft carriers.

The second is that the infrastructure of this era is basically equivalent to nothing.

Except for Qin Zhidao, official roads in various places, and a small number of large cities, there is basically no such thing as infrastructure in other places.

There is no such thing as a seaport by the sea, at most there are some small fishing villages.

As for the supporting equipment of various seaports, it is even more a fantasy, and I have never heard of it.

There are several plank roads that go deep into the sea, and this is a world-famous port.

Without a suitable port, it is useless to build a sea-going ship no matter how big it is, because it cannot be relied on at all due to the draft volume and other reasons.

If it is docked at a place far away from the shore, and it is only transported by small boats, it is not as convenient as directly building smaller boats.

It is precisely because of many problems that there is no room for super large ships to appear now.

When he came to the government office, Li Danghu looked through the relevant materials about the construction of ships.

"Brother." Li Gan said impatiently, "Let's go and see the soldiers and horses first."

Li Danghu looked up at his younger brother, pointed to a stack of materials beside him, "Sit down, and memorize all these."

These years are not the era of ritual and music cough cough of later generations, but the era of indifferent family affection.

As the so-called elder brother is like a father, when Li Guang is not here, Li Danghu can play half of Li Gan's father role.

Li Gan has a violent temper, but when facing his eldest brother, he can only sit down obediently and look through the files with a sad face.

Looking at it, he saw that the sky was getting dark.

Li Danghu shook his neck, got up and greeted Li Gan, who looked loveless, "Go, go and see the soldiers of the navy."

There is a barracks belonging to the navy outside the official office. When entering the camp, what you can see is that many boatmen are splashing in a large pool in the camp.

Li Gan curiously asked the village chief beside him, "What is this for?"

"Captain." The head of the village quickly responded, "This is the recruits practicing swimming."

As a boatman, the most important skill is naturally swimming.

Staying on the boat, if you can't swim, if something goes wrong and you fall into the water, you will be gone after a few thumps.

But if you know how to swim, you can persist for a long time, waiting for rescue or simply swimming to the shore.

Of course, if it is in the water with low temperature in winter, it will take less than a quarter of an hour.

Li Gan stepped forward and stood on the shore to observe with great interest. The scene of dozens of people flopping about in the pool was also very interesting.

When he was watching it interestingly, he suddenly heard his elder brother's voice behind him, "You seem to be good at water?"

Li Gan responded without looking back, "What's wrong with not being able to use water, I fight on horseback. Uh?!"

Before he finished speaking, he felt an irresistible impact from his hip, and suddenly he waved his arms like a bastard, and jumped directly into the pool in front of him.

'Gululu~~~Can't water~~~Gululu~~~'

Li Gan, who was struggling desperately, lost his head in a short time.

Fortunately, he was dragged up by the surrounding boatmen, and when he was pushed to the shore, he vomited desperately.

He looked up sadly and angrily at his elder brother, Li Danghu who kicked him into the water, "Why?"

"Of course it's for you to learn how to float." Li Danghu said with a smile on his face, "Since you and my brother have transferred to the navy, we can put aside the matter of riding horses and fighting for the time being, but if you don't know how to swim, then it's nothing." military?"

This is indeed true, but Li Gan shouted in grief and indignation, "Then you have to wait for me to take off the armor and weapons first!"

He was kicked into the water wearing armor and weapons. If it wasn't for the rescue of many boatmen, he would definitely not be able to get up.

Li Danghu touched his nose in embarrassment, "Mistake, next time I kick you, I will definitely let you take off your clothes first."

Chang'an City, Weiyang Palace.

Another year's autumn receipt came, and Li Yunze was sitting in the Xuanshi hall, flipping through the many official documents sent by the counties and counties from all over the country.

In the past two years, the weather has been good in Dahan, and this year's autumn harvest grain production is even more than last year.

After Li Yunze paid attention to the output, he focused on the normal warehouses in various places.

When the Changping warehouse was established last year, it was already after the autumn harvest.

Restricted by the speed of information dissemination and movement, it is only implemented in some areas in Guanzhong close to Chang'an City.

After this year's strong support and arrangements, almost all counties and counties have built Changping warehouses through the collection of corvee.

Now, it is the time when Changping positions really play a role.

The first thing Li Yunze looked at was the official documents of the inspections in various parts of the Shaofu, which places cut corners and materials to play tricks on the emperor, where corruption appeared, and where there were overt and secret actions by powerful officials, etc.

After reading the memorials of the inspection, Li Yunze had to take out the memorials secretly investigated by the embroidered guards for comparison, so as not to be fooled.

Because Li Yunze entrusted Changping Warehouse to the Shaofu, the imperial court would not get much money here, so naturally they would not pay too much attention to it.

It is natural to cut corners and even violate the law.

For these, Li Yunze's disposal arrangement is very simple, he will be dismissed directly.

Since you don't want to do it, then don't do it, go home and teach in the fields, anyway, local schools urgently need cultural people like them to be teachers.

As for those who were greedy for ink, it was even simpler, Li Yunze didn't even bother to review it, and directly asked the officials to transfer it to Zhang Tang's Yushitai.

In terms of Zhang Tang's character as a cruel official, he absolutely strictly followed the Han law.

As for the overt and covert actions of the local tyrants, oppressing farmers and so on, such things are also too lazy to review, and they are directly handed over to Zhidu of the Ministry of Punishment.

After completing the work of changing the state of Yan from a feudal state to a county, and relocating a large number of people to Chang'an New City, Zhidu finally returned to Chang'an City to do his job.

These tyrants who committed crimes fell into the hands of Zhidu, so naturally there is nothing to say about the fate, there are too many lessons learned from the past.

After finishing work on the autumn harvest and Chang Ping warehouse, Li Yunze finally summoned Gongsun Ao and asked how the preparations for the settlement of Sanyue were going.

Gongsun Ao is not stupid, he naturally understands that the emperor is urging himself, after doing so much preparation work, it is time to start.

"His Majesty."

Gongsun Ao said respectfully, "After the autumn harvest, the warehouses in various places are full of food and grass. The food and grass that I need to go to Sanyue is already sufficient. It's time to send troops."

"Ah."

Li Yunze nodded slightly satisfied, "When do you plan to start the war?"

"I believe that it will take some time for troops from all over the country to arrive at the front line, especially to transport food and supplies to Kuaiji County and other places." Gongsun Ao naturally responded well prepared, "We should start the war before next year's spring plowing."

As soon as he said this, Li Yunze understood his intention.

Before Huo Qubing turned out to be born, there was no blitzkrieg these days, and there were no great detours.

Fighting is a face-to-face attrition and confrontation, and it is usually common to fight for several years.

Such as the battle of Changping, the battle of Wang Jian's destruction of Chu, and so on.

There is only one reason why Gongsun Ao wanted to launch an offensive against Sanyue during spring plowing, and that was to destroy Sanyue's spring plowing.

Although the land of Mitsukoshi is dominated by mountains and forests, farming civilization is farming civilization, and it is still dominated by planting.

Once the spring plowing is affected due to the harvest, then the autumn harvest will be waiting for starvation everywhere.

Mitsukoshi can't afford it, but a big man can afford it.

The big man has a lot of food, as long as it can be transported to the front line, as much as he wants, he is naturally not afraid of any impact.

This is the tragedy of a small country, which cannot consume others.

Regarding Gongsun Ao's plan, Li Yunze nodded, "Yes."
