Inside a large hall.

Li Yi received Qin Wan and the others.

"Miss Qin, there is a lack of supplies in the deep mountains, and the hospitality is not good, please forgive me, if you have any needs, you can also put them forward." Li Yi said politely.

"We are sons and daughters of the green forest, we don't pay so much attention, Li Gongzi can give us a place to stay, we are already very grateful, Li Gongzi only needs to entertain us normally, and we don't need to take care of it too much." Qin Wan shook her head and said.

"Miss Qin, I came to you this time to learn some information about the Great Shang Imperial Court."

Li Yi pondered for a moment, and finally decided to say what he thought directly.

"What do you want to know?"

Qin Wan said with a smile.

More than an hour later.

Qin Wan and the three left.

In the main hall.

Li Yi wrote in front of the desk, and after ten minutes, Li Yi put down the pen and exhaled slightly.

The mood becomes quieter.

The conversation with Qin Wan benefited him a lot.

Basically, Qin Wan answered all the questions he asked, and there was no concealment or anything like that.

Let him know more about the Great Shang Court.

It also made him realize more that this big business is really powerful.

First of all, the population of the Great Shang far exceeded that of any other dynasty in the previous era, and the number of registered people in the household statistics was more than 350 million, and the number of people who were not registered in order to avoid taxes and labor and other reasons also reached about 250 million.

In this way, the total population of Dashang has reached about 600 million.

That's a lot of data.

Secondly, the land area of the Great Shang is also larger than that of all the dynasties in the previous life, more than 12,300 miles from east to west, and more than 13,700 miles from north to south.

Undoubtedly, this is a large land area, and in addition, there are not many places that cannot be used, which also shows that Dashang is indeed very powerful.

With the national strength of the Great Shang, it is more than enough to feed one million elite soldiers and 2.5 million state soldiers.

Moreover, the Great Merchants are not just raising these soldiers with their own national strength.

In addition to the sea in the east, the other three parties are all land, and there are many countries, and the strength of those countries is far inferior to the imperial court of the Great Shang, and they have to supply a large amount of money to the Great Shang every year, which adds up to a huge amount of resources and wealth.

With so many resources and wealth, it is even more powerful to supply the five elite soldiers of the Great Shang Country.

Hengling Mountains.

The longest is no more than 1,000 miles, and the widest is only 5 or 600 miles.

It's just a small corner of the big business.

The population living in the entire Hengling Mountain Range is at most seven or eight hundred thousand, which can be more than one thousandth of the entire population of the Great Shang, and it is very scattered.

If you really want to manage it, with the military strength of the Great Shang Dynasty, it is not impossible to level the entire Hengling Mountain Range.

"Li Gongzi, you are developing in the Hengling Mountains, and your final achievements are limited, it is better to go to Baiyue, not only can you bypass the threat of the big merchants, but if your strength and strategy are enough, you will be able to expand your power infinitely."

At that time, Qin Wan persuaded like this.

"Since it's so good to leave Dashang and go to Baiyue, why does Qinglongzhai stay in Dashang and don't just move to Baiyue?" At that time, Li Yi asked directly.

"Qinglongzhai existed when Dashang was founded, at that time, Dashang was not so strong, as Dashang became more and more prosperous, the greater the benefits of Qinglongzhai, the deeper the foundation in Qingyang Erzhou, it is not easy to be destroyed, and Qinglongzhai will naturally not give up easily."

"As for Baiyue, Qinglongzhai has already laid a foundation there."

At that time, Qin Wan said with a smile.

Many people think that Qinglongzhai is just a green forest force that suppresses Qingyang Erzhou, but they never think about it...... This turned out to be a transnational green forest force.

Li Yi was also speechless when he heard it.

However, the development of Black Wind Village cannot be measured according to conventional forces.

As long as there is a certain population, find a safe place to live for a while, their strength will become stronger and stronger.

However, what Qin Wan said also made Li Yi's heart move slightly.

The first is the population of the Hengling Mountains.

Seven or eight hundred thousand, in Li Yi's opinion, is not a few.

But it's too scattered.

It was not easy for him to gather such a large number of people.

Moreover, such a big movement, I am afraid that he will be discovered by the Great Shang Court before he gathers a few people, and at that time, the five elite soldiers will move casually, which will be a great disaster.

Even if he could get out, a lot of the foundation he had laid would be destroyed.

He continued to develop in the Hengling Mountains, and the Great Shang Dynasty was always a great danger.

If you go to Baiyue...... With the strength of their Black Wind Village, maybe it will be a dragon into the sea!

For a while, Li Yi's heart was a little confused.

In addition to the population, Qin Wan also talked about other situations of the Great Shang army, which was also the source of Li Yi's confusion.

The 2.5 million state soldiers of Dashang are only used to suppress domestic Xiaoxiao, and their strength is only average.

The real strength of Dashang is actually five elite soldiers.

First of all, it is selected every year, and most of the more outstanding soldiers in the state soldiers in various places have entered the five elite soldiers.

Li Yi was silent, he had already had the answer to this, before, he captured thousands of state soldiers, but he did not find a single senior soldier among them, and even the slightly more powerful middle soldiers were relatively few, and later, he asked Yan Tao and Qi Zheng, and the two of them said this kind of thing.

What Qin Wan told him was more detailed.

There are also elite soldiers among the five elite soldiers, just like the trapped camp of the Shenwu Army, one by one with unique skills, a team of 100 people, comparable to an army of 10,000 people, running thousands of miles, climbing the city wall, easily, invincible, invincible.

This kind of trapping camp masters, the Shenwu army has a total of 3,000, and it is not easy to move, and if it moves, it will win.

According to Qin Wan's narration, Li Yi analyzed it, and he estimated that the kind of trapping masters that Qin Wan said were not high-level figures, and they were almost the same.

Three thousand high-ranking people, still fully armed...... How to resist?

Then, it's time for the gear!

An army, in fact, equipment is very important!

The horses of the five elite soldiers are naturally better horses!

The horses of those elite soldiers are naturally better horses!

According to Qin Wan, one of the five elite soldiers, the Zhenxi Army, has an elite army, called the Shenju Battalion, which is comparable to the trapped camp of the Shenwu Army, with only two thousand, but everyone has the best horses, and they can run three hundred and fifty miles a day, and they can run thousands of miles in just three days!

Not to mention, those people are extremely good at archery, and if they shoot arrows immediately, everyone can shoot to a hundred and twenty paces away, and they have a high accuracy!

In this world, one step is about one meter two, one hundred and twenty steps, that is, one hundred and forty-four meters, or shoot an arrow immediately, it is not easy to use force, this distance, it is very terrifying.

An ordinary archer's bow and arrow have an effective range of 100 meters, and if the Kamikoma battalion flies a kite against the enemy in ordinary warfare, it can simply kill the enemy in despair.
