The so-called "land preservation system" is the uniform land system of the Jin Xuedi people, except for the nobles, all people are born with land, and the nobles are not allowed to manage the land, only the priests of different ranks, enjoy the privilege of land management, so that the nobles are restricted from plundering the land of the peasants.

According to the "Preservation System", the commoners owned the harvest above the land, while the nobles owned the harvest under all the land, that is, all the mineral resources buried in the ground.

The aristocracy monopolized the high-end economy of the entire country through its monopoly of minerals and high value-added means of production. Through economic means, other resources are obtained from farmers as they need.

However, according to Bai Liyan's observation, the prototype of the "Baotian System" was first seen in the "Mintian System" advocated by the "Fa Tiandao School" more than 400 years ago, and the "Mintian System" advocated that everyone should have their own land where they could have food and clothing without paying taxes, so as to accumulate people's strength, enrich the country and strengthen the army.

The aristocracy should not forcibly occupy the land of the common people, and even advocate the abolition of slaves, aristocracy and social classes, eliminate social inequality, promote a constitutional monarchy, set aside the emperor and the vassal king, implement the long-term rule of foreign dynasties, and the regular rotation of the cabinet, so as to reform the accumulated defects and unify the world.

The popular explanation for the so-called long-term ruling of foreign dynasties is that, in addition to ministers, department heads, senior officials, mayors, and county magistrates, other department-level and section-level officials and civil servants shall be promoted and transferred during the period of work for a period of five years and ten years, and the issue of whether to stay or retain officials at the grass-roots level will be determined according to performance appraisals, so as to improve the professional ability of grass-roots public servants in governing the government, so as to eliminate mediocre and redundant people.

The cabinet is rotated regularly to avoid ministers, directors and other important ministers around the monarch from controlling the government for a long time, and there is a situation in which the country is prosperous when the ministers are in power, the traitors are in power, and the people are not able to make a living.

However, because the ideas of the Fatian Taoist School were too advanced and harmed the fundamental interests of almost all interest groups, especially the elite groups, they were finally exterminated by various countries and faded out of the historical stage.

Coincidentally, more than ten years after the decline of the Fatian Taoist School, Jin Xuedi introduced the "Baotian System", and after localization, it generally followed the main content of the "Mintian System".

Almost ten years after the implementation of the "Preservation System", the Jin Xuedi people deposed the untouchables, divided the land, and the national strength increased day by day, and the implementation of the "Preservation System" greatly promoted the development of the productive forces, so that the population increased, and the national strength increased rapidly.

The popularization of iron tools and ploughing cattle is closely related to the development of productive forces, and only when the productive forces develop to a certain extent, will a large number of matching production tools and economic phenomena appear, and then bring about changes in production relations, thus entering a virtuous circle.

In fact, in Bai Liyan's view, "Baotian System" is a success, but it is difficult to hide the blood and cruelty behind it.

As the main source of income for the economy in the agricultural era, land is almost everything, and it is obviously impossible for the magnates to give up their land interests, which will inevitably lead to uneven distribution of interests, power struggles and internal divisions, and even civil wars.

In order to avoid internal divisions, the Jinxuedi people had to make up for the loss of interests of the powerful from other places, so they set their sights on the Central Plains in the north.

The Jin Xuedi people kept 17.8 million slaves outside the Guan, or even more, and raised millions of Fan-registered people in the Guan, which were all privileges promised to the powerful by the Moon God King family.

Under the enslavement of the powerful people, the output of land and minerals brought by the slaves in the Central Plains was almost unlimitedly exploited, which not only fully satisfied the greed of the nobles, but also provided a large number of military supplies for the Jinxuedi people.

Through the exploitation of slaves and foreign wars, it not only diverted the contradictions and conflicts of the domestic elite to compete for power and profit, but also rallied them around the Moon King family, and at the same time, the economic effect of slave production reduced the tax burden of its common people.

Previously, Bailiyan was puzzled why the Jinxuedi people launched a Northern Expedition every twenty years from five to thirty-five years, sending hundreds of thousands of troops at a time, and now it seems that they are accumulating grain and grass and military supplies through the economic output of slaves. As a result, the taxes of the common people will not be increased because of the sudden Northern Expedition.

If there are 1 million slaves, the army they can support in a year is at least 80,000 or 90,000, and the agricultural openness policy of the Jinxuedi people has increased the total grain production, or even more, if there are 5 million slaves, the army they can support in a year is 500,000.

If the economic output of 5 million slaves for 30 years is accumulated, and 50 percent of the gains of the powerful lords and 20 percent of the natural wear and tear are offset, the economic output of 5 million slaves for 30 years can be converted into one year's consumption, which can raise 6 million soldiers, which is equivalent to three years' consumption, can raise 2 million soldiers, and which is equivalent to four years' consumption, can still raise 1.5 million soldiers in four years.

This is not counting the taxes collected from tens of millions of people throughout the country over the past 30 years, and even if the expenses for military administration and pensions for the dead are excluded, it is still more than enough to send more than 1.6 million troops this time.

Coupled with the fact that the logistics are all dependent on unicorn transport, which hardly consumes more manpower and economic potential in logistics, various reasons have combined to create this deformed freak.

Of course, the above is only a rough theoretical projection, and the actual situation is much more complicated.

However, at the moment when the technical conditions are limited, the growth of the population is unstable and uncontrollable, and if the number of slaves is greatly reduced, the resulting reduction in production capacity will affect the relations of production, and the adjustment of the relations of production will inevitably affect the interest class.

And the biggest drawback of the equalization method is the population, if everyone has land, it will inevitably lead to a large distribution of cultivated land and land fragmentation, and land is a relatively limited resource, especially in the south at present, the cold temperate zone, cold zone region, the yield rate of land is far less than that of tropical areas, when the population increases significantly, limited arable land will aggravate land distribution.

Because the land policy has been solidified, it has brought about the relative solidification of production relations and interest strata, which in turn hinders the reform and adjustment of policies and systems.

For this reason, the annual allocation of arable land, and the reduction of slaves who died for various reasons, brought about economic and productivity losses, land pressure, etc., forced the Jinxuedi people to send troops to the north to obtain foreign input of productivity.

At the same time, through war, the young and middle-aged people were eliminated, the number of widows was increased, the population growth in the country was alleviated, and the land expansion was increased, and the immigration was increased, and the pressure on the domestic population to allocate arable land was alleviated.

Therefore, the problem of Jin Xuedi's people now is that the economic policy has fallen into a vicious circle. Driven by the interests of religion and aristocracy, they lost the ability to reform internal affairs, so they could only continue to wage wars abroad.

But in the final analysis, it is not that the Central Plains civilization is backward, but that the land of the Central Plains is too large, and the communication is far beyond the limits that can be achieved by the current technological means, and the centralized power cannot control the huge territory.

It is precisely because of the absence of a truly unified centralized dynasty that the Central Plains was unable to effectively implement effective political measures at home, thus missing the process of early domestic reform and technological accumulation.

At the same time, the excessively dispersed power of the princes also led to the dispersion of the technical elite of various countries, such as craftsmen, intellectual groups, and so on. The dispersion of these talents will inevitably lead to the dilution of technical paths and research strength, which will not accelerate the iteration and accumulation of experience, and the accumulation of original technologies will inevitably be slow.

Compared with the Central Plains, the Jinxuedi people have a large number of thousands of horses, with a land area of more than 10 million square kilometers, or even larger, with the current technical means, thousands of horses can almost reach any part of the country in Jinxuedi within half a month, but the Central Plains can not do it.

From the coast of the East China Sea of the Jin Kingdom to the source of the West Sea of the Chen Kingdom, the vertical and horizontal span of the straight line is less than 27,800 miles, and the daily travel of 400 miles is flying, and it takes two and a half months to walk in a straight line, and it takes a month for thousands of miles to horse, not to mention the marching battle, how difficult and arduous the logistics support is.

It is precisely thanks to the unification of the territory and the high concentration of human resources that the accumulation of experience and even the iterative development of technology are faster than those of the Central Plains. Coupled with the infiltration of the Central Plains thieves, the stolen technology and ideas accelerated their development.

However, compared to the Jin Xuedi people, who built their victories and interests on the flesh and blood of enslaving foreign races, and supported millions of soldiers with reckless force, the Qin Empire did not know how many times better than it.

Qin swept the six-in-one unification of China, China's population base at that time was only 20 million, Qin Shi Huang conquered Lingnan with 500,000 soldiers, the north rejected the Xiongnu garrison 300,000, built the Great Wall to send millions of people, repaired the Afang Palace, Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum with 1.3 million people, a total of 3.1 million people, the required logistics transport, production and cultivation costs are not counted, the people of the whole country are used for it, up to the seventy old children, down to the women with red makeup, all into this huge imperial movement, the dead have no blood and tears.

If the Central Plains can form a highly unified centralized power, with a population base of 450 million or 500 million, with the state system and mobilization efficiency of the Qin Dynasty, it will be more than enough for the Central Plains to mobilize 35 million people into war and logistics, but the reality is cruel.

……

That night, the scouts of Jin Xuedi were first discovered, and soon after, a troop of 10,000 cavalry was discovered, detouring from the south side and entering the city of Calezer through the south gate. Since the coalition forces were only surrounding the east gate, there was no resistance for the Kinshödi to enter and exit Caleser.

On the second day, the telescope could already see the Jin Xuedi infantry army twenty miles away, camped at about 100 miles away from Baili Yan, with about 70,000 people.

"My lord, it seems that the barbarian army is only sixty or seventy thousand."

Jiang Jie said, he also found the clue, Sikong Nan took over and said:

"There are 100,000 chasing soldiers, and last night there were 10,000 cavalry entering the city, and the less 20,000 must have gone to chase Gong Liangwen, and they are still cavalry."

"Yes, it should be 20,000 cavalry to chase Gongliangwen."

Bai Liyan affirmed, Lu Gao was a little worried:

"There are only 30,000 people in Gongliangwen, so there won't be any accidents."

"No, it won't." Bailiyan denied Lu Gao's worries, and continued with confidence: "The Zhi army can travel 100 miles a day, and it is also lightly armed, and it can even travel 120 miles, no matter how fast the cavalry of the Jin Xuedi people run, but the endurance of the high-headed horse is not good, and one person and one horse continue to pursue, and it is only one hundred and twenty or thirty miles a day. Moreover, the recovery of horses' physical strength is much slower than that of people, and I pondered that if Gongliangwen knew that the cavalry was chasing behind, he would definitely attack the cavalry at night with leisure.

These Jin Xuedi people only know that the Central Plains coalition army is unfavorable, but they don't know that our Central Plains is broad and profound, and under the same conditions, they have no advantage at all. ”

The horses in the Central Plains are extremely abundant, and the Xu, Song, and Wei countries have a large number of horse farms, which greatly stimulates the Central Plains countries to equip cavalry, and the infantry army is to restrain the cavalry, and the tactical tactics are dazzling.

The Zhi army is famous for its walking, and the barbarian cavalry pursues behind, if the time and distance are not good, it is very easy to be ambushed by the night attack of the Gongliang army. Moreover, Gongliangwen is expected to have a telescope, which can completely detect the pursuers in advance and attack at night.
