Half a month has passed.

In the past half a month, there was no relevant battle report, and it was sent to Zhao Feng.

For Zhao Feng, there is no relevant battle report, which is good news, which shows that Lu Bu has not been quickly eliminated by Cao Cao at least.

this day.

Tian Feng walked into the conference hall and waved at Zhao Feng: "Enlighten the lord!" ”

"Hu Chuquan sent someone to deliver a piece of paperwork."

After speaking, he presented the bamboo slips and documents in his hand with both hands.

Then he added: "Another document records the details of the grain tax paid for this year's autumn harvest in various places. ”

Xiong Da walked directly in front of Tian Feng, turned out the bamboo slips and documents with both hands, and then handed them to Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng took the lead in opening the bamboo slip to check, after all, it is a matter of diplomacy, and it is more important than understanding the amount of taxes.

There is not much content in the bamboo slips, but I thank Zhao Feng for speaking for Hu Chuquan, and let the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty canonize his position of Shan Yu, so that Hu Chuquan is justified.

Although Qubei and Liu Bao are still dissatisfied, Yu Fuluo was also canonized by the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, and there is no way to be dissatisfied.

At least on the surface, he will still listen to Hu Chuquan's orders.

Yuan Shu is the emperor of 'Liu Bian' Chan, naturally inheriting the Han dynasty, and still claiming to be the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty.

It's just that it's not the so-called Liu Han.

Of course, if there is no persuasion from Zhao Feng, and if there is no Liu Xie, the son of Xu Du, no one knows whether Yuan Shu will inherit the country name 'Han'.

After all, inheriting the 'Han' system, Yuan Shu was only the emperor, not the founding emperor.

Of course, if the opportunity is ripe in the future, such as Liu Xie's death, Yuan Shu can also change the country name, but relatively speaking, it will be a lot of trouble.

But inheriting the Han Dynasty also has the benefits of inheriting the Han Dynasty, at least Zhao Feng 'strongly' supports, at least Lu Bu recognized Yuan Shu, and at least Sun Ce did not have the heart of rebellion in the early days.

This gave Yuan Shu a lot of buffer time.

If Yuan Shu directly changed his country name, Lu Bu might be persuaded by Chen Gong to refuse to marry Yuan Shu, so that he would not form an alliance with Yuan Shu, and Sun Ce might have rebelled against Yuan Shu on his own a long time ago.

In this situation, Zhao Feng may also make a statement, after all, Zhao Feng has no reason to sit on a rotten ship that is about to sink.

Hu Chuquan got what he wanted, and very happily sent someone to escort 50,000 war horses on the way to Yuan's family.

In addition, he also said that because of some unpleasantness before, the transaction between the two parties has stalled, and he hopes that Zhao Feng can continue to support the transaction as before.

As for the dispatch of troops, Hu Chuquan also said that he would accept the recruitment, but he only sent troops to Youzhou to attack the Xianbei army, and he still needed to make some preparations.

Especially when it comes to grain and grass!

After Zhao Feng read it, he told Tian Feng the general meaning, and said with a smile: "Yuan Hao thinks that how long will it take for Hu Chuquan to send troops?" ”

Tian Feng pondered for a moment: "Although Hu Chuquan said that he would send troops to Youzhou, he did not say the specific time. ”

"In the end, I said that I wanted to raise grain and grass, but I am afraid that he deliberately asked us for benefits."

"If we are happy to give grain and grass support, Hu Chuquan will also be happy to send reinforcements from Youzhou."

"Otherwise, he can keep delaying time on the grounds of lack of food and grass!"

After hearing this, Zhao Feng nodded, this kind of thing is not strange.

If you want others to contribute, others will naturally ask for benefits, not to mention that the other party is still a Huns, not to mention that it is not profitable to be early, and it is already a very restrained performance of the Huns if they do not go south to plunder grain and grass.

Of course, this restraint was based on the fact that the Huns had suffered several defeats at the hands of Zhao Feng.

In addition, if you want to completely persuade Qu Bei and Liu Bao to send reinforcements to Youzhou, you naturally have to have an excuse that is in line with your interests.

Otherwise, relying solely on Yuan Shu's edict, it is not easy to go to Bei and Liu Bao, and there is a great possibility that they will not obey it at all.

Of course, this specific internal situation, Hu Chuquan will definitely not tell Zhao Feng directly.

Zhao Feng knew that Hu Chuquan was asking for benefits, so he picked up the document that recorded the details of the tax and looked at it carefully.

After all, how much food benefits to pay is also judged according to the tax situation.

After reading it, Zhao Feng took out the tax situation of last year's autumn harvest and compared it, and the overall tax payment was not much different, reaching more than 14 million stones.

If it weren't for the continuous wars in Youzhou, which led to a serious reduction in production in most areas, plus the tax payment of half of Qingzhou, it would almost reach more than 15 million stone of grain tax.

With a plan in his heart, Zhao Feng asked Tian Feng: "Yuan Hao thinks that how much food should we give to Hu Chuquan?" ”

Tian Feng pondered for a moment: "With our tax situation, the lord can give as much as he wants." ”

"Regardless of the tax situation, we have reserved 10 million stone of grain every year in the past few years, and now the total amount of grain in reserve has reached 50 million stone."

Zhao Feng's land is governed by two grain taxes a year, harvesting winter wheat in spring and spring grain 'corn' in autumn, adding up to about 30 million stone of grain taxes.

Combined with the annual commercial tax collected at the end of the year, the total tax amount is about 35 million stone grain.

Of course, generally about 2 million stone will be set aside for commercial taxes in the counties on an emergency basis.

On average, each county has reserved about 10,000 stone of grain, but these grains have not received Yuan's, so they are not counted for the time being.

In addition, the restricted trade in official salt and iron also has an income of about 10 million koku, adding up to about 45 million koku of grain.

As for the Zuixian Building, Hongmen Dart Bureau, Beggars Gang, and Cloth Shop opened by Zhao Feng, they have all been separated from the government and are considered Zhao Feng's private property, and they are not counted for the time being.

Of course, Zhao Feng doesn't need to rely on these to make profits, and the beggar gang can not only inquire about the news, but also maintain public opinion, purely by spending money, so the income from these private properties is not much.

The reason for the separation was because Tian Feng, Lu Su and others always persuaded Zhao Feng, saying that officials should not compete with the people for profit, otherwise the impact would not be good.

Zhao Feng divided these industries separately, which is regarded as the private property of the Zhao family, and it is difficult for others to say anything.

I wanted to make these ideas into state-owned enterprises, but they were directly stillborn.

In terms of expenditure, Zhao Feng now has a total army of more than 500,000 yuan, and each person eats an average of 1.5 stone of grain per month, and consumes 9 million stone of grain throughout the year.

Of course, more than half of the 500,000 troops were county soldiers, so the average monthly food consumption was only 1.5 stones.

In addition, the annual salary of these 500,000 troops is an average of three stone per person per month, which adds up to 18 million stone of grain.

Recruits are paid one and a half stone of food, and the more battles they participate in, the more they kill, and the more they are paid.

Although the generals received a lot of food and salary, they were averaged by hundreds of thousands of people, and this is the data.

As for the food and salary expenses of officials and officials at all levels, the total amount is about 5 million stone a year.

The total cost of food here is 32 million stones!
