Chapter 226 System and People 5
After the additional card was revealed, Liu Xinqi's physique increased again. While his body shape changed slightly, his weight increased by several kilograms. Liu Xinqi himself guessed that it was because of the increase in bone strength that he gained in order to withstand a stronger physique.

"Brother Qi has not lost weight, and he has also grown taller." Zhou Yue said next to him.

Liu Xinqi touched Zhou Yue's head lovingly, but did not hug her. After all, Zhou Yue was still a young girl, so her influence was not good.

"You've grown taller too."

"It's a little high." Zhou Yue smiled with squinted eyes.

Waiting until Gao Yuan is in front of him.

"Leader, I changed your arrangement for the first fleet without authorization. I was wrong. I will punish you as you please."

Liu Xinqi patted Gao Yuan on the shoulder: "Let's not talk about it for now. You are the person in charge of the Naval Division. Now let's arrange for people to unload the ship, and then arrange for the officers and soldiers on the ship to take rotational vacations."

Liu Xinqi made such arrangements for his naval work in order to make it clear in public that his status would not be shaken and to retain the dignity of the director of the Naval Department.

But he didn't let go of his fault directly. After all, in principle, this is not a trivial matter. Military power has been the most sensitive since ancient times. Gao Yuan changed Liu Xinqi's arrangement for the first fleet without authorization.

The next day, September 23, is Chen hour.

All middle-level and above-level civil and military officials of the Xinghan League in Dengzhou gathered in the lobby of the former Dengzhou government office.

Minister of State Luo Cheng stood at the head of the civil service team and reported on the recent important government affairs of the Xinghan League:

"Since July, due to the chaos in Hebei, anti-Jin rebels have risen. The Jin Kingdom took advantage of Du Chong to take over Zongze's post in Tokyo and returned troops to wipe out the anti-Jin rebels everywhere, causing many people to be displaced. These people Most of them went south and entered the jurisdiction of the State of Zhao. A small number of refugees on Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road migrated to Dengzhou. In accordance with the alliance leader's previous policy towards refugees, the Ministry of Finance organized manpower to properly resettle all these refugees who came to seek refuge. As of September According to mid-term statistics, more than 6000 refugees have been admitted.”

This number is basically consistent with the increase in the power value of Liu Xinqi's system main page.

"This year's autumn taxes have all been collected. According to Husi statistics, there are 170 million acres of taxable farmland in Penglai County, including 32 acres of public land and 130 million acres of private land. This year, 680 acres of tax-free farmland have been newly reclaimed. The average yield per mu of taxable cultivated land is two shi, and a total of [-] million jin of tax and grain has been received.”

"In addition to the taxed grain received, we also purchased more than 5000 million kilograms of excess grain from farmers. Half of the grain was purchased with food stamps, and the remaining half was purchased with silver coins. The average purchase price was four cents per kilogram, which is equivalent to It cost nearly [-] taels of silver."

"In terms of expenditures, the major expenditure items include official salaries, labor salaries, military expenditures, and education and research and development expenditures. From January to the end of August in the first year of Jingyan, accumulated expenditures were equivalent to 11 taels of silver."

... "Currently, the Xinghan League has very abundant grain stocks. If our official treasury had not maintained a grain purchase price of four cents per catty, it is estimated that the price of grain on the market would have dropped to two cents."

"However, the inventory of silver is less than 20 taels. According to the growth trend of Xinghan League's expenditure, it is expected to be used in less than a year. At present, Xinghan League's tax revenue and fiscal expenditure have basically been equal, so I suggest that the development speed should be slowed down. Avoid depleting the coffers.”

The original cultivated land in Penglai County was not as large as 170 million acres. This was because after the Xinghan League occupied Penglai County, it had a war with the surrounding counties. After the victory, it expanded its jurisdiction.The western boundary of the jurisdiction extends to Huangshui, and follows the Yellow River to the south. The southern boundary extends to Qingyang River, occupying part of the cultivated land of Mouping County and Huang County. Circle it here).

Before the Zhao court moved south, there were 250 acres of cultivated land in the country. Based on the calculation of the 240 four state capitals in the country, the average cultivated land in a state was about 50 million. Some states had more cultivated land, and some states had less cultivated land.There are three to ten counties in a state, so the number of cultivated land in a county should be around [-].

"The income from this overseas trade was quite large. Counting the gold compensation from the Matsuura family of Hizen Province, our total income from this southward and eastward trade reached 50 taels. With this income, the current financial situation of the Xinghan League has been improved It is still very healthy, and the savings are enough for us to continue to develop rapidly. Moreover, the trade routes of Jiangnan, Goryeo and Japan have all been opened, and the trade income will continue to flow in the future, so there is no need to worry about the bank depleting."

After Liu Xinqi finished his comments, Liu Lizhen from the Military Management Department began to report.

"The two thousand recruits recruited in June have all been trained. Because you are not in Dengzhou, you have not been formally incorporated into the organization. You are still being trained in the use of flintlock rifles in the recruit camp."

"In addition to the new recruits, there were also more than a dozen groups of defeated anti-Jin soldiers who entered the Xinghan League. The personnel were a mixed bag. I did not agree to their request to join the army. After disarming them all, I temporarily incorporated them into the labor force. However, recently there have been More and more anti-Jin soldiers came to Dengzhou to join us, and they have formed a considerable force. Moreover, they brought news that the Jin Kingdom's suppression campaign in Hebei has come to an end, and there are signs of developing eastward. "

……

"What is the production of flintlock muskets? How many have been deployed in the army?" Liu Xinqi asked after waiting for Liu Lizhen to finish his report.

"With the putting into use of the water conservancy arsenal built by the Yellow River, the current production of flintlock muskets has reached 550 per month, and [-] have been deployed in the army. The most elite first and second infantry The battalions have all been equipped. One infantry battalion has been equipped with [-] guns. The cooking, medical and other logistics personnel have not been allocated. The remaining [-] guns have been distributed to the [-]rd Infantry Battalion, Cavalry Battalion and Recruit Battalion for training. Not yet Equip the Navy because the three fleets of the Navy have not stayed in Dengzhou for a long time." This is the report of Liu Lisheng, the Logistics Department.

"How is the development of the artillery?" Liu Xinqi asked again.

"The artillery is still in the development stage. Counting the two in the first batch, three more batches were built in the following month, for a total of nine artillery pieces. The latest batch of artillery has reached the conditions for installation. For the specific development progress, you can go to the artillery factory We will inspect it on site and once you confirm it, we can start mass production." Engineering Director Liu Zhimu replied.

"That's it for the report. At the end of the year, each department will summarize the work of the past year in detail. Now let's talk about the change of the first fleet's scheduled arrangements and its relocation to Japan."

"Gao Yuan, do you know where you went wrong?" Liu Xinqi asked Gao Yuan.
