Three Kingdoms: General Pan Feng, killing the enemy can become stronger!

Chapter 75
"Okay, you are worthy of being my champion!"

Only then did Liu Hong laugh and said, he quickly got up and helped Pan Feng up himself.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Pan Feng lowered his head and replied.

He doesn't believe in Liu Hong anymore, neither of the husband and wife is a fuel-efficient lamp.

This set of Enwei and Wei is playing the real six.

He also made up his mind that he would not go to Beijing if he could not go to Beijing in the future. These people have been fighting all day, and I'm afraid they want to spend all their energy in it.

"This is the imperial decree that I have already written. I have also secretly archived a copy in the palace. You should keep it alive and don't let anyone know about it." Liu Hong took out a copy of the imperial decree from his arms and handed it to Pan Feng's hands.

Just as Pan Feng was about to kneel down to accept the order, Liu Hong directly lifted him up and said, "Don't make such a big noise, say everything that needs to be said, and remember my words firmly."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured." Pan Feng agreed.

"Well, I have a lot of trust in you, don't let go of my trust."

Liu Hong nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Everything has been explained, you should return to Yuzhou as soon as possible. Don't just focus on having fun, but keep in mind that today's favor is not easy."

"The minister will train the soldiers under his command more diligently, but the military expenses and food and salaries will still need to be allocated by the court..."

Pan Feng clasped his fists and replied.

It is impossible for him to pay for the soldiers himself. Although this Yuzhou is under his control, the taxes and the like are not given to him.

As for Champion Hou's [-] households in Shiyi, what a joke, can the money support tens of thousands of troops?
[-] households in the food city sounds like a lot, and it is also a lot to use, but if it is to raise an army, it is a lot worse, especially Pan Feng's army has to increase rewards.

Hou Ye's living expenses include land rent, household tax, labor service and so on.

Among them, land rent occupies a large part, and the tax of the big man is one out of thirty.

However, the two emperors of Hengling were short of money, and each increased the tax once. In addition to taking one out of thirty, an additional ten yuan was added for each mu of land, which means that the tax was increased by twenty yuan.

Champion Hou Shiyi has 360 hectares of land, and the land rent income is about 360 shi. Now that the world is in turmoil and grain prices are soaring, one shi is worth about [-] yuan, and the land rent income alone is [-] shi [-] million yuan, plus the tax added by Emperor Hengling and [-] yuan per mu, that is [-] million yuan.

Thirty-three million six million yuan, converted into gold, is three thousand three hundred and sixty-six catties of gold.

This is the amount of land rent. The main reason is that the money added by the Second Emperor Heng Ling is too heavy. One mu of land is a full twenty dollars.

As for the household tax, it is the next best thing. One household is 400 yuan, and [-] households is [-] million yuan, which is [-] catties of gold. Not to mention the labor service, which is not worth mentioning compared to such a large sum of money. up.

Added together, Pan Fengshi's annual income should be around [-] gold.

It seems that there are many, and in fact there are many, but if it is to raise soldiers, it is far from enough.

How much does it cost to raise soldiers?

Recruiting a soldier is equivalent to buying out. A soldier needs [-] yuan. If you buy [-] yuan, it means that this fate is yours. make money?Relying on themselves, this is why those soldiers will seize every opportunity to make a fortune, even if it is to cause trouble for the people.

Of course, Pan Feng's subordinates have rewards, let's not mention that, just talk about the basic money that will be consumed.

For [-] soldiers, the money for recruiting soldiers is [-] million yuan.

Of course, it's a troubled time now, and most of Pan Feng's soldiers are refugees, and those people just follow him for food, and they don't actually spend any money.

So, let’s not talk about the recruiting money.

But if he wants to expand the army in the future, it is inevitable that he will have to pay this money. After all, the world is considered stable, and there will not be so many refugees for you to choose.

A soldier has to eat about three shi of grain a month, and [-] soldiers would have to eat [-] shi of grain.

As for the horses, a horse would get at least ten shi of food a month, but fortunately Pan Feng's army didn't have many horses, so it could be ignored.

Therefore, 600 million yuan, or [-] gold, would be spent on rations alone.

But now, there are more than [-] soldiers under Pan Feng's command?It's almost [-], which means that just eating for a month will cost about a thousand gold.

So, how long can he last with his annual income of [-] gold?
This is just eating, not including building armor, weapons, escorting food, and siege equipment.

As for marching and fighting?The money spent must be at least several times that of raising soldiers!
Not to mention raising soldiers, just the gifts he gave Zhang Rang every time were hundreds of gold and one thousand gold.

It's not just him giving it away like this, those who want to buy an official, never have they bribed Zhang Rang with millions of dollars or tens of millions of dollars!
Liu Hong stipulates that the price for buying an official is 500 million yuan for the public and [-] million yuan for the Qing.

But this price is only the money in Liu Hong's private treasury. In fact, if you want to buy it, you have to pass Zhang Rang's mediation, and Zhang Rang has the final say on how much you want to sell.

After he changed hands like this, the price of the official position in the court is more than ten times the original price set by Liu Hong?
Although the ministers of the court and the central government were very greedy, they were even more angry, and they all appealed to His Majesty asking to stop this kind of behavior.

Liu Hong would admit to cowardice in ordinary things, but if he wanted to take his money, it would be his life. Even if he said that the treasury had no money, he wanted to build something and let them pay.

After such a blockade, although those people still opposed it, they were not as indignant as before.

As time passed, the matter of blatantly selling officials and nobles became a matter of course.

It's just that those officials bought with money don't actually have real power, they're just a name.

After all, there are only so many positions, so how could it be possible for them to take them, and they are just some petty officials.

High officials are just names.

In this era, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen have distinct levels.

The richest man is a merchant, and the lowest is also a merchant.

Therefore, those merchants with low status will try their best to send money to Zhang Rang, and then exchange for an official position, so that they can have more face when they go out in the future.

But at this time, Liu Hong was stunned when he heard that Guan asked for money, and then he smiled and said: "Aiqing is joking, where did the court get the money? As for the food and grass you mentioned, can the soldiers go to the fields?" , can be self-sufficient!"

"How about this, I ordered someone to allocate your food and grass for half a year, after that it's up to you, how about it?"

Pan Feng sneered in her heart when she heard the words, yes, the national treasury has no money, but you have it in your private treasury.

But how could he dare to say such a thing, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, the combat power of the soldiers under my command may be greatly reduced..."
