Zhao Xin can come into contact with such high-level officials, but these high-level officials in the Northern Song Dynasty will not inform him of this situation.

After waiting for a while, the news came that Hangu Pass could be dismantled, that is, the plan for the Dongping Railway was approved.

This is Zhao Xin's biggest purpose in coming to Bianliang, the purpose has been achieved, it's time to go back, Ding Haijun's work can be said to be inseparable from him, and he can run to Bianliang for such a long time, that is, because of the importance of the railway.

Before leaving, the manager in charge of Tokyo sent a new order, all of which were military rations, of which the number of compressed biscuits ordered was the largest, especially the new military rations, which had just been launched and had not been verified for a long time, because of the large inventory, it suddenly obtained more than 240,000 yuan.

The price of Ding Navy's military rations is not expensive, and Ding Navy's materials are exquisite, but under the premise of large-scale imports, the purchase price of rice is around 400 Wen, plus other things, the total price is not expensive, at most some vegetable oil and other things are added to ensure the balance of the whole nutrition.

According to the price of an ordinary soldier's meal, it is about 8 Wen, and the new military ration, because a lot of fish and other things are added, the taste is better, and the nutrition is better, so the price is slightly higher, at 12 Wen.

According to the calculation that a soldier eats 12 wen for a meal, 240,000 guan is enough to support 20,000 people to eat 1,000 times, according to three meals a day, this is three years.

This amount is very considerable, although it is said that the amount of military rations ordered by the Privy Council for the Ding Navy before is greater than this number, but it is in phases and batches, basically, to ensure long-term consumption, similar to this, it is really the first time that 240,000 military rations have been mobilized at once.

For the manager, this is just a larger order, 240,000 guan, for Ding Haijun in Tokyo, it is not a big deal, as the largest city in the Northern Song Dynasty, Ding Haijun's total sales in Tokyo exceed hundreds of millions of guan every year.

But for Zhao Xin, he is more sensitive, and his intuition tells him that at this time, this sudden order is definitely not simple.

After carefully combing through, sure enough, I found other orders, mostly some auxiliary military materials, as well as supplementary ordnance orders, some of these orders are available in Tokyo, and some of them can be replenished in a short time, without exception, these orders have quite strong requirements for time, ranging from 5 to 10 days.

It's going to be a war, but I haven't heard of it, where is it?

It is impossible to change the people's uprising, if it is replaced by the previous Northern Song Dynasty, after encountering a disaster, it may cause a civil uprising, because for the small people of Shengdou, when they can't survive, there is no other way to go except to resist.

Now, the Northern Song Dynasty has one more way, that is, the Ding Navy, the demand for population is endless, plus the system all over the Northern Song Dynasty, unless it is the kind of earthquake or the like, a sudden disaster, similar to a drought, a flood, such a disaster, it is not an instantaneous disaster, before the disaster is caused, the Ding Navy will go to recruit workers in various places.

On the one hand, it supplemented the needs of the Ding Navy, greatly increased the population of the Ding Navy, and on the other hand, it also reduced the public anger in the Northern Song Dynasty.

According to the current news network of the Ding Navy, there is no similar news for the time being, let alone suppression.

It's not a popular uprising, let alone Western Xia, although Western Xia was a big problem for the Northern Song Dynasty before, but Yuan Hao has already hidden in the extreme west, and there is a Liao State in the middle, and it is unlikely to attack them.

Then, the large-scale mobilization of the army in the Northern Song Dynasty has two objects, one is the Liao State, and the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun are the dreams of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The other one is the Ding Navy, if everything in the Ding Navy is exposed, including those things that Zhao Xin secretly conducted, Zhao Xin, who is rich and rivals the country, or Zhao Xin, who is a prince, will definitely have problems.

But soon, Zhao Xin vetoed this, Ding Haijun is in a very remote place, and he is more deliberately controlled, so that what he leaked out is only the tip of the iceberg, the entire Northern Song Dynasty knows that Ding Haijun is rich, but to what extent he is rich, no one knows the real number.

When all kinds of statistics in the Northern Song Dynasty were estimated, 20 million, 200 million, 2 billion, such different orders of magnitude were very rich for the Northern Song Dynasty.

Similarly, Renzong is indebted to Zhao Xin, and Ding Haijun is a compensation, as long as it is not too excessive, no one will attack Ding Haijun, because even if it succeeds, it will not be any good, and if Zhao Xin is dismounted, he will also suffer a heavy loss, at least in Renzong's heart, it is a loss of points.

As long as the important ministers above the court have not realized the threat of the Ding Navy to them, the Ding Navy is safe.

After these have been vetoed, there is really one possibility left, the Liao State, to recover the sixteen states of Youyun.

Zhao Xin didn't expect that his wings to change history would be so big, in fact, the sixteen states of Youyun are also his purpose, if he can establish a base overseas, the naval strength of the Ding Navy will also develop on a large scale, the first attack is the Liaodong Peninsula, and then, along the Liaodong Peninsula, take advantage of the situation to take the sixteen states of Youyun.

In this way, the wishes of all the former Zhao Song emperors were fulfilled, and in the same way, to show his strength and exert tremendous pressure on the center.

In the same way, these places in the sixteen states of Youyun are very good places, otherwise, in the future, this place will not appear as the capital of the Ming and Qing dynasties, he naturally has a foundation, which the island can not bring, Zhao Xin can be more drastic development, and influence the Northern Song Dynasty, without fighting the army of the people.

Now, because of the butterfly he fanned, all this has changed, and the Northern Song Dynasty actually wants to capture the sixteen states of Youyun.

This may not be good news for Zhao Xin, his huge plan cannot be completed, but he has not thought of hindering it.

The better the Northern Song Dynasty develops, the more things can be solved in the future, and a prosperous Northern Song Dynasty that has undergone his adjustment will definitely develop better than in history.

Soon, Zhao Xin's order was issued, to meet all the orders of the Privy Council, 240,000 yuan of military rations, all of which were replaced with better ones.

The military rations are divided into several grades, compressed biscuits, which are the lowest grade, but for rice noodles with a lot of starch content, they are cooked, and then dehydrated and compressed to make them, a small piece of 200 grams, which is almost equivalent to more than two catties of grain before.

But this is the lowest, it guarantees calories, but it doesn't guarantee the taste, at most it doesn't go hungry, and then it goes further and is rich in all kinds of nutrients, the kind of primary, just processed on some cheap meat, and offal.

Now the latest is under the premise of large-scale fishing in the Yangtze River estuary, hundreds of thousands of catties of fish every day, in addition to a small part of the sales, the rest, let professionals carry out research, with fish meat, fish oil, and some other plant and animal meat fat, combined together, add part of the ingredients of kelp soup, cook together, the taste is relatively delicious, nutritious and very rich in military food.

This kind of military food, he is more lightweight, 80 to 120 grams, can be equivalent to more than 200 grams of calories, the same, can be cooked in a variety of ways, plus special luncheon meat, can maintain the meat and vegetable match.

Weight, for any logistics, is very sensitive, and when traveling long distances, even if a person loses 1 gram of a meal, it is a very large number, let alone nearly half of it.

This kind of military ration, which should be more expensive, was sold at the price of 12 Wen by Zhao Xinxin, and was approved by the Privy Council.

Although the Privy Council has not eaten, but in the current preparation, a simple test is still possible, but it is just to find a few soldiers to eat, and then see if they can eat enough, what the state is, and the results can be obtained in a few days.

In fact, the taste of this military ration has been unanimously recognized, and some people initially suspected that he was too little, but after eating, the feeling of fullness, as well as the premise that he would not be hungry if he continued to train, 3 days is enough to prove.

240,000 pieces of military rations, which can support 100,000 troops, 2 months of rations, this is very critical for them, before, according to each 200 grams, the total amount of military food is about 4 million catties, 40,000 stones.

But now, it has almost half of it, and it has become 20,000 stones, which is simply too important for the army.

Military rations, in the past, almost occupy the vast majority of logistics, an army of 100,000 people, calculated according to 4 liters per person per day, needs 400,000 liters a day, 10 days is 40,000 stones, 60 days, almost 240,000 stones.

Not only is it costly, but the transportation cost in the middle is also very terrible, in order to transport 240,000 stones, thousands of miles away, it may cost several 240,000 stones, which is also the root of the army's huge expenses, most of which are wasted on the road.

Now, it has decreased by more than ninety percent all of a sudden, and a series of consumption has also been reduced.

This time, the troops were dispatched to the sixteen states of Youyun, and the front was easy to do, from Bianliang to the vicinity of Sanguan, there was a well-developed water transportation of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and no matter how much materials were transported, it would not be a problem.

But after that, when you enter the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, there is a problem, there is no logistics, you can only rely on the supply of the three passes, or capture, the less the materials, the better.

The problem of military rations was solved, and other military supplies were also quickly mobilized, and then Zhao Xin found Ye Qingchen again and took the initiative to offer another support.

Ye Qingchen had a headache about Zhao Xin's coming, the previous allocation of the Privy Council to increase the material was allocated by him, and he knew very well that as long as Zhao Xin deduced a little, he would definitely know.

Zhao Xin's cleverness, Ye Qingchen has seen it, it can be said that he is a young genius, in such a short period of time, Ding Haijun is also prosperous, this is his ability.

It's just that this is a national war, even if there are many advantages, Han Qi has explained so much, and the Privy Council has also made a lot of preparations, but in the face of Liao, no matter how much preparation there is, it is not a waste, it must be done enough.

It stands to reason that the envoys of the border military states cannot participate in it, and the Ding Navy is a little far away from the Liao State, and it is impossible to know.

Knowing Zhao Xin's intentions, Ye Qingchen was not particularly polite at first, and said that Zhao Xin should not come.

Zhao Xin did not hide, and said directly to the point, through a series of analysis, he knew about this national war, and hoped to provide help in this national war.

Zhao Xindu said it to this point, even if it was Ye Qingchen, it was not good to say anything, no matter what Ding Haijun said, it also belonged to the military state of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was a unit like Dao, even if there were various restrictions, and it was a little small, but the level was enough.

People deduce from the existing situation, and they can't help but judge others.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingchen's tone also calmed down a bit, Ding Haijun is a rich man, and his support will definitely not be small.

Sure enough, Zhao Xin came up with his support plan, 240,000 pieces of military rations, which was the first support.

This made Ye Qingchen extremely excited, the reason why he only bought 240,000 pieces of military rations was because the troops came.

This operation, for the Northern Song Dynasty, was a national war, using 3 armies, a total of 200,000, but the real core was the 50,000 people specially strengthened by Jia Chaochang, and the others were all pretentious to attract the attention of the Liao State.

The advantage of military rations is that they are easy to carry, according to 100 grams per meal per person, 10 catties are brought with them, which is almost enough to eat for a month, which is very critical to breaking into the enemy's hinterland.

Now, there are 240,000 more pieces, which is such a key military ration, almost doubled, even if you don't bring it, you can make other preparations, in short, there is a lot of room for it, and it will be of great help to the entire war.

Ye Qingchen was very satisfied, this is no longer as simple as the support of money, at a critical moment, these military rations can save lives.

Nodding slightly, listening to Zhao Xin continue, next, mainly on the materials, there are materials purchased by the Privy Council before, and there are also some materials recently developed by the Ding Navy, the number is slightly huge, and there are many projects involved, adding up to about 500,000.

Ye Qingchen nodded, Zhao Xin is really a rich man, and he just said two things, that is, more than 700,000 guan, which is a huge supplement for the Northern Song Dynasty, especially in the current national war, the fact that money has no materials.

After that, sure enough, it was money, Zhao Xin took out 300,000 guan in the name of Ding Haijun to prepare for the entire war, plus before, almost one million guan, compared with the pocket money that Zhao Xin gave to Renzong before, it was not much, but for the war, it was definitely not less.

Because of the war of urgent preparations, even if Jia Chaochang had prepared before, a war that used 200,000 forbidden troops would also cost a lot, and the three divisions had already worked hard, and now with such 1 million yuan of materials and money, the three divisions would be more relaxed.

However, after giving more than 1 million yuan of property, Zhao Xin put forward the last support, but this support is direct support, what is the specific, Zhao Xin did not tell Ye Qingchen, but just said that it needs to be told in the Privy Council, and when the time comes, not only the main privy envoys of the Privy Council will be needed, but also the common judgment of some generals who know how to fight.
