Chapter 90: Planning a New Army
"Back to the emperor, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Households, there were more than 22.7 million subjects of the Xinhan Kingdom, and the total tax revenue of the country was 600 million 200 silver, of which nearly eighty percent came from commercial taxes. The granaries and warehouses of the whole country are full, which can meet the rations of my Xinhan subjects for more than two years!" Listening to Xun Yu's report, every time he said a number, it was deeply stimulating Liu Fei's heart, from the time he took over the Xinhan Kingdom, the people in the country were less than 17 million, and now two years have passed, it has broken through to 22 million people, and the treasury inventory of silver has been less than 50 million taels, and it has surged to 600 million at once, an increase of more than ten times, not to mention food. In this world, the competition is the number of subjects, and the competition is the country's money and grain, from these two points, the Xin Han Kingdom has been overfulfilled under Liu Fei's leadership.
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor. Hooray, hooray, hooray. "The ministers standing below, although they all know that the Xin Han Kingdom has developed rapidly in the past two years, but none of the figures can reflect it, and now, after hearing the report of the Hubu Shangshu, everyone knows that the country where they are located is so rich.
"Well, yes, I didn't expect that my Xinhan had already developed to the point where it was beginning to take shape. However, if you are just satisfied with the status quo, you are not worthy of being a courtier of my Xinhan Kingdom, you have to take a long-term view, this world is not as peaceful as you imagined, and it is full of darkness everywhere, therefore, I have decided to let my Xinhan rise strongly, and let me Xinhan Kingdom stand on the top of the world. I don't know if Zhong Aiqing has the courage to accompany me to break through?"
"The ministers are willing to fight for the strong rise of Xinhan, even if they are broken. All the ministers knelt on the ground and shouted, His Majesty the Emperor is confident that he will rise to Xin Han, as a courtier, what else can not be paid? In other countries, the emperor suppressed the ambition of his courtiers, but in Xin Han, it was the emperor who used his ambition to strongly lead his courtiers.
"Since all the Aiqing have the confidence to accompany me, that is, why are the monarchs and ministers united, is there anything else we can't do? ”
"The hearts of the people are moving together, and all of them are united. All the ministers chanted along with Liu Fei.
"Everyone, if we want to develop, we can't blindly defend, we have to turn defense into offense, and they all say that the best defense is offense. Some time ago, I led the Imperial Forest Army to defeat the joint attack of the three kingdoms, but why did we just repel them, and we could not achieve any substantial benefits, why, because we can only defend passively, and cannot fight back, otherwise our backyard will be on fire. Therefore, I have decided to increase the number of legions in the Xinhan Kingdom and define them as combat legions, where is the military headquarters?"
"The minister is here!" As soon as he heard Liu Fei's shout, the officials of the military department headed by Zhang Liang immediately stood up.
"From now on, a recruitment order will be issued to encourage the people of Xinhan to actively join the army, for the rise of Xinhan, for fame and fortune, let everyone actively join the army. ”
"Your Majesty, how many people are you going to recruit for this conscription? The ministers should make preparations as early as possible, so as not to cause chaos due to the large number of people joining the army at the right time. ”
"Well, will there be such a problem?" Liu Fei felt a little incredible, this used to join the army to eat a meal, and everyone actively joined the army, but now in Xinhanguo, the problem of eating is no longer a problem to worry about, can everyone still actively respond to the call of the country?
"Your Majesty doesn't know that since Your Majesty ascended the throne, all kinds of reforms to the government and various benefits to the people, which makes everyone grateful to Your Majesty, and many families have cultivated a lot of reserve troops for the legions, as long as the country needs them, they can go to the battlefield immediately. In addition, since His Majesty decreed the change of the military rank system and the knighthood system, many young people have actively responded to the country's recruitment, as long as the country responds, the number of people who sign up for the army is rising. ”
"Okay, our people are good, they know how to be grateful, they also know how to repay their gratitude, the fruits of victory need someone to guard, they join the army today, fight for the country, and tomorrow will give them a peaceful and prosperous world. In this way, your military department intends to conscript four million men and form four combat regiments. ”
"Four million men, and the ministers obeyed the order, and immediately prepared to recruit four million men to form a new army. Hearing that Liu Fei was going to prepare to form an army of four million people, everyone was stunned, originally thought that Liu Fei was just making a small fuss, and forming an army of more than one million was the most, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would form an army of four million people, is this to prepare to level the surrounding countries.
"Four million people will be recruited first, and they will be trained collectively by Zilong first, and when I find a suitable general, I will divide them. Zilong, you prepare two large military camps in the northern suburbs and the western suburbs, and arrange them there when the time comes, first of all, what you have to do is not to take them to training, but to familiarize them with military orders and military law. If they are not able to master military law and cannot act in accordance with military law, then they will be engaged in military law. The barracks are the place to have the rules of the barracks, it is a place to defend the family and the country, and realize self-worth, and it is by no means a place to become someone's gilding. ”
"The last general's decree!" Zhao Yun can be said to worship the current Liu Fei very much, as a king, he should have iron blood when he should be iron-blooded, and he can't be weak all the time, such a king will often only bury the country.
"Heer, stand up, what are you doing in the back?" Liu Fei watched He Shen run into the corner behind him vigorously, and immediately stopped him, what does this kid want to do, how to hide from me, is there a ghost?
"Ah, Your Majesty, the slave doesn't dare, you spare the minion!" He Shen saw Liu Fei calling him, thinking that the matter was exposed, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Fei and begged for mercy.
"Oh, what good things have you done, you can honestly explain it. "This old boy, is there really a ghost, or has he done something unseemly?
"Your Majesty, Weichen is just marrying a concubine, please punish Your Majesty! He Shen Balabala pleaded with Liu Fei.
No, marrying a concubine won't be like this, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines.
"Is it just that you married a concubine? If you don't explain honestly, I will let people bloom your ass!" Liu Fei said to him viciously, causing the laughter of the ministers, and as soon as he said that the butt bloomed, everyone thought of the last time He Shen was beaten to the bottom.
"Your Majesty, the slave really just married a concubine!" He Shen replied stubbornly.
"Your Majesty, you didn't marry a concubine, but robbed a concubine. Zhang Liang stood up and reported to Liu Feiyu.
"Heshen, is this serious?"
"Your Majesty, the slave really likes her, whoever tells her doesn't care about the slave, the slave is this. ”
"He Shen, you are simply gutsy, you have started to rob the people's daughters, are you ready to rebel next?"
