Liu Guo mentioned that ninety percent of the people in Yanzhou did not have land, and Han Jiang's face was very embarrassed.

Liu Guo glanced at Han Jiang and sighed slightly: "The lord has misunderstood, this matter is not about Han Mansion, but about the world." Yanzhou is just because it is too close to Lin'an, your Han family does not occupy it, and the rest of the families also have to occupy it, and the result is still the same, and the same is true for Shaoxing and Xiuzhou. ”

What could Han Jiang say, he could only nod.

Liu Guo continued: "In this world, I didn't investigate carefully, but if nothing else, I am afraid that more than half of the people without land will be killed. The most terrifying thing is not this, the sect law is clearly written, but this one is very strange. The reality is that the rich people buy land without paying taxes, and they have property without taxes. There are many cases of poor people selling their land without tax refunds, and their property is saved by taxes. ”

Han Jiang then took over the topic: "Both the Han and Tang dynasties fell in the peasant uprisings triggered by the land annexation. ”

Liu Guo pointed to the north: "If Song does not have a great enemy in the north, it will be the same in the end." The people of the world have been miserable, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the number of times the people have rebelled is more than the number of years since the founding of the country, how to calculate, once a year, occasionally twice a year? Therefore, sending troops to fight the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is true or false, it is good to see the reaction of the world and the reaction of the court. ”

Liu Guo's meaning is obvious, playing Hanyang is indeed a good move, but there must also be a follow-up move.

More importantly, Liu Guo thinks that it is time to listen to the voices of the court and the people, and take advantage of this dispatch to see the reaction of the world, and the battle does not necessarily need to really reach Dongting Lake.

When the time comes, if it is defeated, the imperial court will definitely transfer the real elite to fight, and Han Jiang will also know which troops and horses will be transferred for the first time.

Thinking of this, Liu Guo suddenly smiled: "I speculate that the imperial court is very likely to transfer the Huainan East Route Army, that is, General Li Er sent troops to quell the rebellion, and then the Huainan East Route Army will fight all the way back and recapture Hanyang, and then the soldiers and horses of the Huainan East Road can rightfully take over the Hanyang Army." ”

Han Jiang nodded: "So, what about the Hanyang Army?" ”

Liu Guo raised his hands, looked at his left hand, then at his right hand, and shook his head: "This is really a dilemma, the Hanyang Army is a strong army, but they are very weak. ”

Liu Guo said that the Hanyang army was a strong army, and on the other hand, he said that it was very weak.

This is a contradiction, but it is not a contradiction.

There is no need for Liu Guo to explain, Han Jiang also understands the reason.

Liu Guo still explained: "The Hanyang army is strong in the heart of the army, strong in the sergeants, and strong in all the low-level generals. But the Hanyang army is weak, weak in ordnance, weak in the absence of horses! ”

"Yes." Han Jiang thought the same way.

Liu Guo said: "If it is placed in Wancheng, it will be possible to replenish the armament of the Hanyang Army that was controlled by the imperial court and deliberately weakened in one year. But there are no horses, so you can only equip them for foot combat. If it is placed in Lintao, there are horses, but Lintao is too far, it is too difficult to replenish ordnance, and there is a shortage of iron in the northwest. ”

After hearing this, Han Jiang asked, "Do you want to rebuild your back?" ”

Liu Guo asked rhetorically: "If there is no horse, it is still called Beiwei?" ”

Han Jiang stood up, looked at the moonlight with his hands behind his back, and said after thinking for a moment: "It seems that it is time to promote another plan, to make Yue Fei king, this is a bit difficult." ”

Liu Guo poured himself a glass of wine: "It will be difficult for the lord to handle this matter, but Dong Weng will make a move, and there will be results in two years at most." ”

In history, it was Han Yanxuan who gave Yue Fei the title of king.

But at that time, Han Yanxuan had already reached the peak of his power, and he gave Yue Fei the title of king because he was preparing for the Northern Expedition and needed a spiritual appeal.

At present, Han Yanxuan has only just entered the power core of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is far from being able to control the court, so Liu Guo thinks that Han Yanxuan needs two years to operate the matter of giving Yue Fei the crown.

Han Jiang sat down again: "Let's put it in Wancheng first, I believe that the Hanyang Army is needed to fight Jingzhao, and I will spend a year equipping the Hanyang Army." ”

Liu Guo stretched out three fingers: "The Hanyang Army needs iron, three million catties." ”

Han Jiang nodded heavily: "It's a little troublesome, let me think about it." ”

Three million catties of iron is not Liu Guo's casual nonsense.

A step armor, the back of the military was divided into four levels, the lightest is the crossbow armor 54 catties, then the standard armor 58 catties, then the knife archer armor 66 catties, and finally the heavy armor, spear armor, 70 catties.

Then, there are supplementary accessories, if needed on the battlefield, seventy pounds of swords, bows and armor, and eighty-eight pounds of spearmen.

A set of infantry armor is a total of 1,825 armor leaves.

The craftsmen in Han Jiang's hands now have a complete standardized production process, and the difference is iron.

In addition to armor, armor-piercing arrows, spiral cone arrows, triangular arrowheads......

Next came the knife, the shield......

Three million catties of iron, which is only barely recovering the equipment of the Hanyang Army, really wants to completely re-armor the elite soldiers, Han Jiang estimates that five million catties of iron are needed.

Three million catties, put it in front of Han Jiang to cross into tons, even if Song Yijin is six hundred and forty grams, it is only a few thousand tons of iron.

This bit of iron is not steel, and it is not enough to build a building.

Right now, it's three million catties of iron that really embarrassed Han Jiang.

Liu Guo also knew that this matter was a bit difficult, but he believed that Han Jiang had a way to solve it, and it would definitely be wrong to squeeze out three million catties from the existing iron production.

Increasing production by three million catties is the right choice.

After a long time, Han Jiang said: "I have thought of many ways to increase production, and there is only one choice." ”

"The Lord is wise."

I didn't say anything, Liu Guo said a wise word first, and Han Jiang smiled bitterly: "This thing is not wise, I'm afraid that I won't be able to control it in the future." ”

Liu Guo knew what Han Jiang was thinking, and immediately said: "This matter is also a day earlier, a day later." ”

"Qiongya!"

"Qiongya?"

If you want to increase production, it is obviously impossible to rely on the current overseas places.

The production of iron in Jiaozhi is unreliable, so Liu Guo understands that he can only choose a place in the existing state capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and Liu Guo's heart is the most suitable for Shuzhou, which is subordinate to Huainan West Road, and there is an army in Shuzhou, which originally wanted the Deqing Army, and later changed to the Anqing Army.

Liu Guo believed that Han Jiang had the means to gain control of this army.

Shuzhou, with a very large iron smelting mill, the annual production of iron at least five million catties, Shuzhou is the government-run cast iron money casting place, last year for the Song Dynasty cast 200,000 iron money.

But at this time, Han Jiang was talking about Qiongya, which made Liu Guo a little confused.

Han Jiang poured himself a bowl of light wine, and only held it in one hand: "In this world, if you say in detail that there should be ten major iron ore mining areas, from another point of view, the six major high-quality iron mining areas, in fact, I don't know much, I have heard of it, I still need to find it in what location, rich iron ore, high-quality ore." ”

Before the crossing, what Panzhihua, Anshan, etc., the news was talking about all day long.

The most powerful thing is that, Tangshan, which can rank among the top ten on the earth in terms of steelmaking tonnage that has been concealed, is really good.
