The eight-bull crossbow designed by Yang Hao was not the eight-bull crossbow of the Song Dynasty in ancient China, and he didn't have the ability to make the kind of big killing weapon of the Tanyuan Alliance shot with one arrow.

He was nothing more than a mechanical crossbow using the mechanics he knew, using a winch and a pulley set instead of arm strength.

According to the historical records he knew, the range of the peak Eight Bull Crossbow could even reach 1,500 meters, but if you want to operate this big guy, you need nearly 100 people.

And the number of troops on Yang Hao's side is guessed to be about 1,000 people in total, and it is obviously a huge waste of human resources to assign ten people to operate this thing.

Therefore, Yang Hao only hoped that his crossbow arrows could shoot seven or eight hundred meters.

This power is definitely a divine weapon in this era.

If it is used to defend the city, if several bed crossbows are fired together, it can even kill the enemy's generals at once without the enemy's knowledge.

It's just that it takes a lot of luck to do it.

The matter of the bed crossbow is very careful, whether the enemy will come to attack him in the autumn, Yang Hao does not know, but Yang Hao thinks that even if the enemy comes tens of thousands of people, he will surround Chang'an City.

Chang'an City, with its abundant food reserves, can drag the enemy down alive with its abundant armament.

He didn't want to engage in a field battle with the enemy, and the consumption of soldiers was too large, which was extremely unfavorable to Daqi, who was in the development period.

Ren Zhong's recent performance has made him very satisfied, and it can be seen from his serious work for Daqi that this guy has fully integrated into Daqi's social environment.

After Ren Zhong thanked him, Yang Hao said, "What's the situation over there?" ”

Shao Yan said: "Chief, the household department has completed the census of Chang'an City and a radius of more than ten miles in the past six months, and the population of every household and every village has been registered, and I believe that when the grain is received, most of the tribes in Daqi can be counted."

”

Yang Hao nodded, knowing how many people there were under his rule, it was of great significance to a force.

First, through the change of population, it is possible to roughly calculate the approximate tax revenue for a year, and secondly, it can also be carried out in a planned manner during conscription, which can prevent the occurrence of evasion of military service during conscription.

More importantly, it can facilitate the management of officials at all levels.

Whether or not the population under the administration of each official is in a state of growth is also the criterion for evaluating the performance of officials at all levels.

"In addition to registering each household, it is also necessary to issue the household registration card as soon as possible."

Yang Hao said.

Shao Yan nodded and said: "In the matter of the household card, Wei has already assisted our department, and the carpenter sent is already carving the wooden card. It's just that it is troublesome to make and it will take a certain amount of time. ”

Yang Hao said in a deep voice: "You should be more concerned about this matter, in addition to these, what is the current situation in the school, there are still school-age boys in Chang'an City who are not enrolled in school." ”

Shao Yan said: "There are a total of 236 school-age boys in Chang'an City, all of whom have been enrolled, and we are going to send Mr. to Qicheng, if everything goes well, the schools in Qicheng should be able to teach at the end of the month." ”

"You have done a good job, these children are the pillars of the future of our Daqi, they must be cultivated with heart, and at the same time, you can't fall behind in your schoolwork, if you are surpassed by your own students one day, it is a very shameless thing."

Yang Hao said with a smile.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

"Rest assured, chief, the gentlemen are working hard, and it is no problem to teach those children."

Speaking of this, Shao Yan suddenly said: "Chief, there is still something to report to your subordinates." ”

"Oh? What's the matter! ”

"Chief, now most of the civilians of my Daqi are farming, and the grain stocks of every household are very much consumed, and there are signs of panic in the city, and now there is still a period of time before the harvest, and the subordinates are worried that if this situation continues, it will inevitably affect the cultivation."

Shaoyan said with some concern.

At this time, an official of the school also said: "What the official said is right, and his subordinates have heard similar things from students, some families with parents are fine, and the men in the family can go fishing and hunting in addition to farming, while those women who have children but are not married have a difficult life, and many students are worried about the situation at home, and even have some unwillingness to study." ”

Yang Hao was silent for a while when he heard this, and said, "How much grain is still in the granary now." ”

Hu thought for a while and said, "Now there are about 8,000 catties left, but there are only more than 5,000 catties left in rice." ”

Yang Hao frowned, these grains sound like a lot, as long as they are averaged, a person can't share much at all.

"The grain cannot be cut off, so that your household department can count how many people have only one laborer, and you can think that they will rent the grain and let them return twice the grain at harvest time.

At the same time, in the school, an exam is held every three months, and the so-called exam is that I have some questions, and I will have corresponding scores for each question, and finally select the twenty people with the highest scores, and reward ten catties of food as a reward.

This policy is included in the university's reward and punishment system, and is called the scholarship.

”

After Yang Hao finished speaking, after everyone exchanged heads and discussed for a while, Shaoyan was a little worried: "Chief, this scholarship sounds okay, but the subordinates think that it is not feasible to rent grain, if they lend them food, then the grain and grass in the army will be a little insufficient." ”

Yang Hao said: "This grain must be lent out, which is related to the stability of the people of Daqi, and there must be no loss." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the military people who were sitting there a little bored.

"Qu, from tomorrow onwards, your troops will begin to disperse around Chang'an City on the basis of Wu, and kill the beasts that can be seen around, and strive to within a month, I don't want to see more than five fingers of beasts within a radius of ten miles.

The prey caught in each month is also included in the merits of the war, and after the winter solstice, the meritorious deeds are rewarded, and it is extremely important for the soldiers to deal with this matter seriously.

”

A canal that takes Yang Hao's horse as the leader, and has always been unconditional obedience to Yang Hao's orders, without superfluous words, and respectfully accepts the order.

And Yang Hao said to Yin: "Yin, you send someone to contact the Youyou still clan to see if you can exchange some food from them, and if necessary, you can borrow it from them, and our people will pay it back twice in winter." ”

"What if they don't agree?"

Yin said in a deep voice.

Yang Hao said in a deep voice: "If you don't agree, you will say that I want to see their leader, and I will go and talk to him in person." ”

Yin nodded and wrote down the matter.

Since the crossing, the food problem has always been a problem for Yang Hao, without enough food, he does not dare to let go of his hands and feet to expand his tribe, and maintaining the current scale is already his limit.
