Chapter 620
Di Shaowei quickly took the Qi Valley, and at the same time found a lot of weapons and account books in the mining area and the Qi Valley, as well as some booklets to record the number of various weapons.
Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao'er checked page by page, counted it, and found that in the past six months, all the iron produced by this private mine has been made into weapons, and the number of various weapons adds up to 100,000 pieces!
And only 10,000 spears have been found here, and they have not had time to be transported away.
In other words, 90,000 weapons are still missing.
With such a high yield, these weapons can't be scrap metal, right?" Xiao'er thought to herself.
"I've found a clue that there are weapons hidden on Bat Island, but the exact number is not clear. ”
"Do you know the conscription situation in Lianyun County? How many soldiers have been conscripted? Are there any conscriptions in other counties besides Lianyun County?" Xiao'er asked as she remembered that someone had recruited private soldiers before.
It is not enough to have soldiers to fight a war, it is also necessary to give soldiers weapons.
"Lianyun County levied 15,000, Lianmai County 20,000, Yunhe County 18,000, a total of 52,000 people!" Shangguan Xuanyi said the encrypted letter he had received the day before yesterday.
"So many?" Xiao'er was very surprised when she heard this, how could she not know that the ancient people loved to be soldiers so much? In the past, many people in Shengping County cried wolves when they heard that they were going to serve in the military! Some people were even willing to give money rather than go.
"These counties are conscripted, and the military salary is twenty taels a year!" Shangguan Xuanyi explained.
Xiao'er: Sure enough, money can make ghosts grind! No wonder so many people went.
Twenty taels has to be earned for several years for ordinary people.
The imperial court conscripted soldiers, and the army only had ten taels of silver a year, Xiao'er glanced at Shangguan Xuanyi, and he was too stingy.
However, the silver of the national treasury is not only used for the military, but also needs to be used for many things such as people's livelihood construction, disaster relief and disaster prevention.
Shangguan Xuanyi noticed that Xiao'er was looking at him a little wrong, and he turned his head to look at her: "What's wrong?"
"General Li is a big tyrant!" Xiao'er sighed.
Do all the generals have so much silver? Li Mingfang lost 100,000 taels of silver without hesitation, although she should have made up her mind to get it back, but at least she could take out 100,000 taels of silver tickets at that time.
Now more than 50,000 recruits have been recruited, and more than 100,000 taels are needed for the military sound alone, and this silver is all snatched back from the war, and the war is really easy to earn.
She wants to be a general.
"What do you mean by a local tyrant?"
"It is a person with a lot of money and a love to show off, and it also refers to a person who has silver in the countryside and has little taste, but I just want to say that General Li is a master with silver. Xiao'er picked a more polite statement.
"No, General Li is very low-key and doesn't like to show off, but he does have a lot of silver, the Eastern Jin Dynasty is rich in beautiful jade, the Nangong Kingdom is rich in products, and the Xiyue Country has many gold mines. General Li has been stationed in the northwest for many years, and has fought many times with the people of Xiyue Kingdom, plundering a lot of gold and silver property, it is not surprising, I think he is the most silver. ”
How could she not have known such important news! If she had known earlier, when she was in the Northwest, she would definitely go to pan for gold every day!
"Why don't you tell me that there are more gold mines in the northwest?! By the way, what about Min Zeguo? What is the most? Why does she think that there is not much in the northwest?
"I'm a big deal, I have everything, but I'm the most crowded. ”
Xiao'er blinked, how could she have a feeling that Shangguan Xuanyi was saying: I know a little bit of everything, but I am not proficient in everything.
Xiao'er pulled the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile that didn't smile, and said insincerely: "How good people are, after all, this world is ruled by humans." ”
She still thinks it's better to have more silver.
"Or we have the most grain, since the news of the yield of nearly 1,000 catties per mu spread, coupled with the large population, the other two countries have stopped thinking that they should not have, they are making peace with our relatives, and asking for alliances and alliances. ”
In fact, whether it is a method of diplomatic relations with relatives or other friendly relations, everything is just a method for them and me to produce nearly 1,000 catties per mu.
Shangguan Xuanyi felt that these high-yielding seeds needed to be mated every year, which was really good!
As long as they keep this in their hands, they will be able to contain the other two countries.
The problem of food shortage, which had been the biggest problem faced by the four countries in the past, has now been solved in their country, and the development of various workshops, plantations, and handicrafts has made the lives of the people richer and richer.
As long as the people have enough to eat and live in peace and contentment, the country will be stable. Their country has the largest population, and they have recovered the Xiyue Kingdom, and now they have the largest area, so it can be said that the Min Ze Kingdom has steadily surpassed the other two countries and become the most powerful existence among the three countries.
"That's my credit!" Xiao'er said triumphantly.
"Yes, it's your credit. Shangguan Xuanyi nodded her nose with a smile and nodded solemnly.
This is her credit, and no one can rob it, so she changed from a white Ding to the county lord of Rui'an overnight, and it was because of her intelligence that the people could live and work in peace and contentment, and she got the title of Rui'an.
Why was Shen Chengyao able to become a marquis? And General Li's loyalty was not enough to be a marquis?
That's because food is really important to the people and to a country.
However, if the Xiyue Kingdom is recovered by General Li, his merit is enough to be a marquis, after all, the merit of opening up the territory is also enough to be a marquis.
It's a pity that General Li has been stationed in the northwest for many years and Xiyue Kingdom is just holding each other back, no one can bear anyone, and then he was almost broken by the soldiers of Xiyue Kingdom, and he almost died in a foreign land, if there was no pill for this girl, he would have died a long time ago, he really can't understand why Li Mingjun still wants to harm this girl, this girl can be regarded as their family's life-saving benefactor!
"General Li has 60,000 heavy troops in the northwest, plus more than 50,000 new recruits, then he has an army of 110,000. Xiao'er's expression was a little solemn.
With so many people, once a war starts, it will not be done in a moment.
Moreover, the four words "internal and external troubles" often appear together in history.
Shangguan Xuanyi stretched out his hand and touched Xiao'er's head: "Don't worry, the recruits are not to be afraid, as for General Li's 60,000 soldiers and horses, not all of them are willing to rebel, and you look at these weapons!"
Shangguan Xuanyi picked up a sword, broke it with a slight force, and it broke!
Seeing this, Xiao'er couldn't help but pick up another sword, and broke it in a similar way, but it didn't take much strength to break it.
Sure enough, making so many weapons in such a short period of time, what good things can there be!
Xiao'er can imagine how General Li would feel when the two armies were fighting, and he found that these weapons were actually a pile of scrap metal.
