I built the Xian Qin multiverse empire

Not long after Li Si and the others left, Wei Yanzi came to see him again.

In history, Ying Zheng had to read several carts of books every day, and he was tired of life, and he was always wary that he could not be like that.

"Great King, the minister has made a specific strategy according to your idea of reform." Wei Yanzi opened a simple book.

"The standing army of Daqin is about 300,000 people, if you want to reach the standing army of 500,000 that the Great King said, the grain gap in a year is 4 million stones. If we want to reach 800,000 standing troops, there will be a food shortfall of 9 million stone a year. "

Huan Zheng nodded slightly, according to intelligence, in addition to Daqin being able to maintain a standing army of 300,000, the other Zhao Kingdoms, Wei Kingdoms, and Qi States maintained a standing army of more than 100,000, while the weakest Han State could not even maintain a hundred thousand standing army.

It is not that they do not want to maintain a more standing army, but the agriculture and economy of this era do not allow them to maintain a more standing army.

Although this is a high-martial world, it has little to do with the people, how the people should live or how they live.

Once there is a big war, if the standing army is not enough, the people will begin to be recruited, so once the war is big, the food consumption will be much more.

"And if we want to achieve three meals a day and one practice a day, the food consumed will increase, and the food gap of the standing army of 500,000 will reach 7 million, and the food gap of 800,000 will reach 14 million."

In this era, both the army and the people had two meals a day, and the army basically practiced once every five days. It becomes three meals a day, one practice a day, and the consumption is too great.

"Great King, the step minister who unifies the world suggests not to be so eager, the step is too big, sometimes it will not go faster, but will pull the egg. The minister also understands that you want to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Great Qin army, but the matter of increasing the combat effectiveness of the army needs to be done gradually. "

Ying Zheng was noncommittal: "You continue. "

Seeing that Huan Zheng's face had not changed much, Wei Yanzi sighed secretly and continued: "The soldiers practice one day a day, it is not enough to provide enough food, but also a certain amount of meat, dogs, pigs, sheep, deer, chickens, ducks, fish, no matter what kind of meat, we are not enough. "

It is impossible to train elite soldiers by eating only grain and not meat.

To put it simply, we can't meet your requirements, the king, lack of food, lack of meat.

Huan Zheng remembered the treasure of his lottery, and smiled and said: "Although you do what the widow said, first recruit the army, so that the standing army reaches 500,000, and then start one training a day, three meals a day, and I will solve the gap in food and meat." "

Wei Yanzi frowned slightly: "Great King, it is not much of a problem for the standing army to reach 500,000, but according to the plan of the Great King, Daqin's reserves will be consumed in a month at most." "

"You can do it with confidence, the widow is not a fool, naturally after considering everything, he will ask you to make such a plan."

Ying Zheng's tone was extremely firm, and his expression became extremely solemn:

"The widow knows that the road to reform is not so smooth, and there will be clans, nobles, or bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods to stop you on the road, but you remember that it is the widow who stands behind you."

"As long as the day of the widow, the end of the martingale will never appear to you!"

Speaking of which, although the Shang Martingale Transformation Law greatly increased the national strength of the Qin state, after the death of Duke Xiao, he was cracked by the car and his whole family was killed.

However, with the strength of the government, it is not a dream to die or die, as long as Wei Yanzi is loyal to him, the reform is beneficial to Daqin, and he will never follow in the footsteps of Shang Martingale.

"Thank you, King!" Wei Yanzi looked moved, and then returned to reason.

"There is also the encouragement of fertility, after giving birth to a child, giving birth to one more child rewards an acre of good land, you can receive hardware every year, one stone of meat, this gap is even greater."

"The minister roughly estimated that this plan was implemented for one year, and the good field reward was maintained, but it could not be maintained in the second year, as for the hardware that each person could receive every year, the imperial court would maintain it for three months at most, one stone of meat, and a gap of one million stone within a year."

"Because the more children are born, the more rewards there are, which can arouse the enthusiasm of the people to give birth, and the pressure of Daqin is also unprecedentedly strong, and those who do not want to raise can be given to the imperial court, which is also an increase in disguise the pressure of the imperial court..."

In this era, ordinary people can maintain two meals a day a year, as for meat, it is good to eat one meal a month, and there is only some shredded meat.

If the reward for winning more children and more fertility is announced, many people will probably keep exercising at night.

In this era, population is the greatest wealth, the population of the Qin State in history is only three million at this time, but in this world, the population of the Qin State has reached seven million, and the population of other countries has basically doubled, but even so, the population of the entire land of Kyushu does not exceed 50 million.

In fact, if it were not for the large number of people and the lack of food, the Wei State might have destroyed the Qin State two hundred years ago.

Build roads, open mines, open wise, increase the literacy rate of the people, increase the rewards for immigrants from other countries, abolish slavery, nationalize salt, copper and iron, wine, currency, mountains, forests, rivers, rivers, encourage commerce, change some of the Qin laws that are too strict, such as the law of joint sitting, one person breaking the law, sometimes not only the whole family is affected, but also implicates the neighbors............

There are as many as 25 reform directions proposed by Yue Zheng, and Wei Yanzi came today to tell Huan Zheng.

Dawang, your reform direction is very agreeable, if it can be implemented, and Daqin can bear it, it will benefit immensely.

But Dawang, your steps are too big, maybe Daqin will be dragged down by reform before he gains from reform.

Moreover, most of the reforms are inseparable from grain and meat, and the gap is simply astronomical.

Not to mention that now, even the economy and grain production of the big "sending" in the heyday will be dragged down.
