Three Kingdoms Super Cultivation System

"Interesting It's interesting. "

Liu He looked at the newly sent Memorial and pondered.

"I didn't expect that Cao Cao had planned hard to capture Jingzhou in the original history. Unfortunately, he was defeated in the first battle of Chibi, and he never set foot in Jingzhou again in his whole life. But in this life, it was so easy. First he colluded with CAI Mao and others to seek Jingbei. Then he subdued Han Xuan, Jin Xuan and other four Prefects. Without any effort, they occupied the four counties in southern Jingzhou and drove Sun Jian away. "

There was a sigh in his heart.

Qian Li put down some of the documents he had just finished, looked up and said, "in this war, Cao's army and our army are not even.". Liu Bei and Liu Bei were slightly defeated, but Sun Jian was a total victory. From this point of view, Cao Cao was still the winner. Today, Cao Cao occupies Yuzhou and Jingzhou, as well as Pengcheng and xiapi counties in Xuzhou, with a population of more than 10 million. He is really a strong enemy. "

Xunzi frowned and said, "this is not an urgent matter. The key point is that Cao Cao has already known the essence of our cavalry, and has also found out the weakness of Han soldiers and Jindao camp. In time, he will reorganize the army under his command. In fact, his strength is strong enough to threaten the court. "

Liu He waved his hand: "it's easy. Bo Ping sent a secret report from Chen Liu. He proposed to expand the troops of our army, including Shenji camp, Zijin Longqi, feiyuqi, Hanwu soldiers, and Jindao camp. In addition to strengthening the troops of the generals, they also need to train a group of them. They should be scattered among the other armies. With the cooperation of multiple units, the attack of Cao's army can be solved. "

"Well, General Gao Shun has a deep understanding of military strategy, but this method is superior. Although the golden sword camp is powerful, it is not well protected by wearing light armor. Second, the blade is sharp, but it is not durable. It is difficult to hold the blade for a long time when it is cut hundreds of times. However, Han soldiers have both attack and defense, but they are not flexible enough. Cao Jun has learned the essence of cavalry and can easily crack the formation of Han Wu soldiers. "

"However, there is no perfect army in the world. The advantages and disadvantages of each army can complement each other. Flying feather riding is flexible and changeable, purple gold dragon riding thunderbolt, shenjiying is wearing gold and cracking stone. If they cooperate with each other, they will be invincible in the world. "

"Well, I do. At that time, I was in charge of all the troops and showed their strong points. I broke the Hu Lu and exterminated the yuan bandits. Over the years, both the recruits and the demobilized soldiers have been organized into ordinary soldiers. Although they have been trained diligently, they can not be compared with the elite divisions. With the increasing number of cities under the control of our army, the elite of various departments are gradually scattered. It seems that the troops are becoming stronger and stronger, but the combat effectiveness is not as good as before. It is time to rectify them. I want to double the number of purple gold dragon riding and other departments. At that time, I would like to see if Cao Cao had any plans in the face of such a huge gap in strength. "

Liu he said here, as if he had already thought of his own world, so that the reunification of the world picture, do not feel a bit fascinated.

However, following Qian Li's words, he was brought back to reality.

"Your Majesty is magnificent if he has this ambition. However, it will cost a lot of money. I'm afraid the imperial treasury can't afford it now."

"No?" Liu he was a little surprised: "although the imperial court has only half of the country in recent years, as far as I know, the annual income of money and grain is far higher than that of emperor huanling. I have used it for reference. I have not built a new palace for many years. Even the construction of a mausoleum for me has been rejected by me. How can the Treasury have no money?"

Although Zhan Lian and Zhan Qingyuan are the big secretaries of the imperial court today, although his intelligence and politics have reached 84 and 89 respectively, he can barely be qualified for the position of Jiuqing. However, he has the special attribute of "fine agriculture" and was raised in Luoyang court hall, which is really a bit of a talent.

At first, Liu Hai promoted him, but he wanted to occupy a position. After all, the grand Secretary of state was in charge of the state treasury, and such an important position should be in the hands of his own people.

However, Zhan Lian rarely appeared in Luoyang. He almost stayed in Bingzhou to take care of the imperial court's military and official garrison, as well as the group of "farmer" disciples who taught him. Therefore, Qian Li was actually in charge of the Treasury. Qian Li himself was Liu He's rear steward over the years. This arrangement is reasonable.

Because of this, Qian Li's words, although Liu He is a little confused, but still put on a serious attitude to listen to his explanation.

Qian Li said seriously: "what your majesty said is not bad. The imperial court now collects taxes and levies, with an annual income of more than 46 million stones. In addition, there are still nearly 10 million stones in the annual revenue of troops and officials stationed in the fields. However, the government spent more than 10 million yuan on salaries in a year. Now, the size of the imperial army is about 30 million stone, and the reconstruction and expansion of cities in various places have allocated about 70 million stone for Tongjian's labor in harnessing the Yellow River. In addition, it is necessary to provide for the harem, increase the number of government officials year by year, and reward meritorious officers and men in the army

"At present, the Treasury is enough to support the army. However, soldiers such as Han soldiers needed twice as much food and salary as ordinary soldiers, no matter in daily training or going out for war. If your majesty wants to double its size, the increase and decrease will be equivalent to the additional expenditure of more than 100000 troops. However, it can barely cope with the training on weekdays. Once you go out to war, you will be in a bit of a pinch. "

"In addition, these troops, their weapons, armor, horses, and their pensions after death are several times higher than those of ordinary soldiers. At present, the court has an annual revenue of more than 17 billion yuan, and has saved about 2 billion yuan every year for three consecutive years. Once your Majesty's move is carried out, the total investment of 6 billion yuan is not enough. Moreover, the annual maintenance cost is also a huge expenditure. "Liu he heard that his eyebrows were locked. He was most headache about the accounts and figures.

"If I don't want to expand the national treasury, I have to say it's ok if I don't want to expand it?"

Qian Li was silent for a long time and said, "at present, the State Treasury can bear..."

Liu He's face relaxed, but Qian Li immediately said: "however, in this way, once there is a natural disaster, the imperial court will not be able to provide relief. For example, this year, there was no rain in the two counties in southern Jizhou for more than four months in a row. The imperial court had to provide disaster relief as well as reconstruction, which cost millions of grain and grass and more than one billion coins. And the locust plague in Liangzhou... "

Listening to Qian Li's repertoire, Liu he felt dizzy, and quickly called out to stop: "stop, stop, stop. In this case, we should start with expanding the number of troops of each department by 50%, and discuss the rest later. "

Liu he thought that he had not worried about money for a long time. The Great Han Dynasty in his hands had always been rich in money and food, which gradually led him to the illusion that "the Treasury is inexhaustible". Now he thinks that he is too real.

But on second thought, Liu he soon understood.

If a soldier on a purple gold dragon rider needs to spend more than 2 million yuan to complete the complete set of equipment and three horses, and the annual maintenance expenses are even hundreds of thousands, not counting the food and forage expenses of soldiers and horses, as well as meritorious rewards and post death pension.

If you say that, you will add 30000 purple and gold dragon riders. In addition, Han Wu soldiers and Jindao camp, it's no wonder that Qian Li, the treasurer of the national treasury, is so excited.

"Make money It's really troublesome to make money again Where is there a new way to make money? "
