Chapter 572: Soldiers, Horses, Food, and Grass
The intelligence officer of the old husband has already explained how the military city is doing things for 100,000 people, and has also said the current development of the military city.
Emperor Yang of Sui was very curious about how the speed of development could be as fast as that of a high-class state capital in just over a year, which is hard to believe, but this is the case.
My husband said that the various industries in Bingcheng, especially the fertilizer workshop, can increase the harvest of the field by nearly 30% every year.
Emperor Yang of Sui was shocked when he heard this, because the amount of food provided by the military city had exceeded his imagination, and he originally thought that even if he exchanged people for food, on the one hand, these people wanted to eat, and on the other hand, the vanguard soldiers who had consumed so much food would definitely be in a hurry.
But now it seems that it is not like that, according to the investigation sent by my husband, it is already known that the annual output of Bingcheng is more than the grain harvested by a high-class state capital.
It is said that since the sixteen states of Youji have used chemical fertilizers, the grain output has been the same as the harvest of three years in normal times, and there is a decree of the sixteen states of Youji, and finally there is a lot of grain that can be left among the people.
If you have to make a comparison, you can reach five times the people of the farms in the upper state capital of the Sui State, and in addition to receiving food, you can also get the money paid by the vanguard after purchasing grain.
However, it is said that the harvest of the people of the sixteen states of Youji can make them fed, clothed and warm and live a stable life, many state capitals are eager to try when they hear about this matter, if it is not for the local government to stop me, I am afraid that the people here in Jiangling will have to travel a long way to make up a household registration.
"Go and send someone to investigate this thing called chemical fertilizer, since it can increase the grain production, you can arrange it." Emperor Yang of Sui said.
To be honest, Emperor Yang of Sui is still a very capable king in this regard, but it may be that his hobby personality eventually leads him to indulge in a life of purple and gold and can't extricate himself, but none of this matters.
When the old man heard it, he immediately went to implement it, he knew very well what Emperor Yang of Sui meant, and if he couldn't guess some holy will, how could he come out and mix.
So the spies in the shadows got the task and started to act, and the purchase of fertilizer was definitely needed, but the problem was that the fertilizer in the sixteen states of Youji was now a gunner.
All of them are planned to give priority to the fields of the sixteen states of the thistle, and if you want to buy it, you can only have a planned arrangement, not if you want to buy it, you can buy it, after all, the output is so much to sell, what should the people of the sixteen states of the thistle do.
The royal spies were tasked with investigating how this fertilizer was made, in fact, to put it bluntly, it was to copy and get the recipe, if it was replaced by others, it might be comfortable with morality and etiquette, but if it was replaced by the emperor, he wouldn't care about it at all.
There is something that can increase the yield of the field, and no one will not be worried.
After Emperor Yang of Sui's edict arrived in northern Liaobei, there was a word "back" on it, so Liu Xuanli found the general who was sitting in the town to take out the emperor's edict.
This is how 100,000 soldiers and horses went majestically, and then came back disgraced.
Fortunately, the remaining 100,000 soldiers and horses have returned, and the 200,000 soldiers and horses have suffered many casualties during the battle.
But Emperor Yang of Sui didn't write how to solve it, and Liu Xuanli got along with a way that was not a solution.
Lu Fulin was surprised after hearing Liu Xuanli's thoughts: "Can this work?" ”
"Why not?" Liu Xuanli questioned.
"Don't look at the fact that the Metropolitan Governor feels very good, but he is not a kind-hearted person, otherwise he would not have brought the vanguard so well, if he annoys him, he will detain us people Maybe it is not easy to say it to others, but Li De does things not according to common sense, this matter should be cautious."
"You have a point, but can you think of a way to keep these people from starving here?" Liu Xuanli asked.
Lu Fulin knew where he could come up with a solution.
In the end, Liu Xuanli still found Li De.
"Dadu Governor, we now have 3,000 wounded, if we can treat them, we are willing to leave these people in the military city and obey the arrangements of Dadu Governor." Liu Xuanli said straight to the point, because this kind of thing is really hard to say, it is better to say it all at once, anyway, there is no way back.
Now I hope that Li De is a benevolent person, after all, the person who can be in charge of one side cannot last long only by force, and the focus is on people's hearts.
If there is such a thing, Li De's reputation will inevitably be magnified, and it is very good for both individuals and Youzhou forces, Liu Xuanli is a squire of the military department, and he is also clear about these things.
So his hole card is reputation, creating a good reputation for Li De and at the same time in exchange for the chance to survive nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses, their food has been distributed in a planned way, and it has been maintained for a week, and now there is no last meal.
Soup and gruel are suitable for every meal, and it is lucky to see a few grains of rice.
"Governor, there is also a reluctant request, in addition to these people, we are also willing to send 50,000 people for food exchange." Liu Xuanli said.
Li De is thinking about it, 3,000 people are not much, and it is really nonsense to say that the medical expenses required for treatment can become a burden on the military city.
After all, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the military city, and in addition to grain and grass, there are sufficient reserves of wound medicine.
It was really no problem to treat thousands of people, but he was thinking about how to pull more people, and at this time, the other party spoke first, which really surprised him.
50,000 people is a lot, and I didn't hesitate to agree directly.
Li De doesn't care what the other party thinks, anyway, there can't be less than 50,000 people.
"Okay, open the warehouse and release the grain immediately."
Li De's bearing is really a bit of a big eater, he doesn't care about that bit of food at all, and 50,000 people will arrive on the day of the agreement.
The situation changed after the handover.
Li De is very concerned about these people, after all, they will be the people of the military city, just like the last time, he was very concerned, but he found out that he was fooled.
What's going on, nearly 20,000 people were sent home from the military city before, and these 20,000 people carried enough food from the military city to rush home.
But it's always such a coincidence, on the way home with these people, they were discovered by the patrol team who came to protect the children, so they were stopped, and after investigation and interrogation, they learned about the methods of Bingcheng to these people.
Naturally, Laihu'er would not let go of these soldiers, so he escorted these people back and prepared to use them as charging warriors in battle, after all, in Laihu'er's opinion, these people were no different from deserters.
It didn't take long for His Majesty to let the soldiers and horses withdraw, just in time for the lack of food, and these people did not come in handy, but increased the burden of food.
Now Liu Xuanli sent these people back again, making it clear that he had dug a pit.
