Because you also need to buy table salt. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Before the price of salt went up, it cost 85 baht a stone.

A soldier consumes salt worth a stone of grain a year.

It doesn't seem like much.

But for the situation where military spending is already tight, there are more.

There is also the consumption of horse rations.

Although most of the horses are mainly forage, forage also has to be purchased at a cost.

Otherwise, it would be unrealistic to send soldiers to mow the grass.

As for going free-range and letting the horses graze on their own, that's even less realistic.

The cost of adding beans to the meal is not small.

One horse, a year's consumption of money and food, is equivalent to two soldiers.

Even if you only have 2,000 horses.

On the soldiers' side, there will be 4,000 fewer men.

Of the 12,000 troops on the expedition, only 8,000 remained.

Don't look at 2,000 horses, it seems to be a lot, in fact, there are not many at all, a county town will only place forty or fifty horses, and the post station will place some horses, and it will be settled.

There are also government cattle that also need to consume grain and grass.

In addition, it is necessary to build water conservancy and official roads, and do some projects that benefit the people.

Otherwise, in case of a levee break, be prepared to use the head of the item to carry the blame.

So one lap counts down.

In addition to the regular garrisons, there are only about two or three thousand soldiers who can be pulled out to fight.

With such a few soldiers, even a county town with only 800 people stationed in it could not be stormed.

Of course, these soldiers themselves are not for you to attack others.

It is used to protect the territory and the people, and to eliminate bandits and bandits.

If the bandits and bandits are strong, two or three thousand soldiers can't be wiped out, under the condition of ensuring that there will be no accidents in the city.

You can recruit some county soldiers from various county seats.

The original function of the county soldiers was to deter the families, the powerful, and the nobles, and to arrest the thieves and thieves in the county.

Therefore, you can't recruit too much, otherwise there will be no county soldiers in the city to grasp public security, and the county may be chaotic.

This is why Zhao Feng obviously has an army of more than 80,000.

But there are only 20,000 or 30,000 troops that can really pull out to attack others.

Because most of the soldiers have to be stationed in the county seat.

In addition, it is currently in a period of chaotic warfare, and seven or eight thousand soldiers are needed to garrison the border cities in various places.

Of course, if Zhao Feng can ensure that the various families, heroes, and scholars in the state will not rebel against him, he will still be able to make up a lot of troops.

But the question is, who dares to make sure?

Bingzhou did not do this kind of project to benefit the people this year, because Dong Zhuo was delayed by casting a small amount of money.

Prices are unstable, resulting in changes in material and labor costs.

The price negotiated today will skyrocket in a few days, and others will stop doing it.

Now there is no such thing as signing a contract.

After getting it a few times, the people below simply didn't bother to organize, and directly threw the problem to Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng didn't have much to do about it.

Therefore, this year's construction is naturally put on hold.

After reading the taxes in various places, Zhao Feng smiled: "Not bad! ”

"It's a little bit better than we expected."

Tian Feng nodded: "If you add 500,000 stone to the commercial tax." ”

"The grain we reserve this year will reach about 5.5 million stones!"

At the beginning of the year, Zhao Feng fished more than 600,000 stones of grain from the sour jujube coalition army.

This is Zhao Feng took advantage of his position, spent a year, and slowly used the strategy to make money.

After that, he transported more than 500,000 stone of grain from Zhongshan Kingdom.

This is the income of the drunken immortal building of Zhongshan Kingdom for two years, of which the king of Zhongshan Festival still owes more than 200,000 stone of grain.

Then there is a year's grain tax, four million and sixty thousand stones.

Finally, there is the estimated commercial tax, 500,000 stones.

A total of more than 5,660,000 stones.

After deducting the tens of thousands of stones for sponsoring the Montenegrin Army, the Drunken Immortal Building lost more than 100,000 stones in April.

It's almost 5.5 million stones.

As for this year's military expenditures, product expenses, and other expenses, they have already been deducted from the 3.2 million stone of grain obtained by minting a small amount of money.

Then.

A guard walked into the council chamber, knelt on one knee, and arched his hand: "Enlighten the lord!" ”

"There are two Confucian scholars from outside the mansion who want to ask to see the lord."

"One person claims to be the king of the plains, and the other person claims to be the Beihai Zhu Xubing Plain!"

Zhao Feng saw Tian Feng's happy face: "Brother Yuan Hao, do you know these two?" ”

Tian Feng waved for a moment and said with a smile: "This is nature!" ”

"Beihai Zhu Xubing Plain."

"I was an orphan in my early years, but for some reason, I was valued by Mr. Teaching, so I entered the school."

"Together with Guan Ning and Hua Xin, Hua Xin is called a dragon, and Hua Xin is the leader."

"When Bing Yuan was young, he was as famous as Guan Ning, who cut off the seat in the same county, and both of them were known for their noble conduct."

"The state government ordered them to be recruited to official positions, and both of them were equally unwilling to be officials for the sake of glory and wealth!"

After Zhao Feng heard this, he nodded, although Guan Ning and Bing Yuan had not heard of it.

But Hua Xin still heard it.

can be called a dragon with Hua Xin, and it will not be bad to think about it.

Then he asked, "What about Wang Lie?" ”

Tian Feng pondered for a moment: "The Plains Wang Lie is older, and there are more deeds. ”

"When Wang Lie was young, he worshipped Chen Yu, a native of Yingchuan, as his teacher, and became friends with Chen Yu's two sons."

"At that time, some Yingchuan celebrities such as Xun Shuang, Jia Biao, Li Ying and Han Rong all studied with Chen Yu."

"They all admired Wang Lie's character and behavior, and they all interacted with him, and Wang Lie was very famous in the country at that time."

"After completing his studies, Wang Lie returned to the plains, where he set up a school to educate the people, and eventually led to the atmosphere."

"I heard that everyone in the local area is doing good and far away from evil, and some people want to talk to Wang Lie for comment even if they have a dispute."

"They will reconcile and return halfway or in front of Wang Lie's house, in order not to let Wang Lie know that they have these disputes."

"Wang Lie was promoted as filial piety, and the three governments ordered him at the same time, but Wang Lie refused."

"At that time, even the king of the plains went to Wang Lie to plan and consult the decree!"

Zhao Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, the deeds of these two people were great talents when he heard them!

Even if not the most top-notch front-line talent.

is definitely a second-tier talent.

What I lack most now is talent!

Zhao Feng thinks so because Zhao Feng has never heard the names of these two people in later generations.

The reason why it is divided into the second line is because of Hua Xin.

Zhao Feng's image of Hua Xin is not very good, but he knows that he is indeed talented.

Therefore, I think they should all be second-tier characters.

I thought about it a little.

Immediately looked at the guard kneeling on the ground: "Go and invite the two of you in!" ”

The guard arched his hand: "Wow! ”

With that, he withdrew from the chamber.

Less than a cup of tea.

Two men dressed in Confucian robes walked in.

Among them, the man in purple costume was about thirty years old.

The face is relatively clean, the beard is not very obvious, and it belongs to the kind of person who does not grow a beard much.

Another person dressed in a black and gray costume had a figure-eight mustache, a handful of hair, hair, and beard, all of which were black and white.

At first glance, he is relatively old.
