Chapter 1188 Words Don't Speculate (A new book will be opened in October, please pay attention)

When the atmosphere was a little cold, Baili Yan followed Wang Li's words and said:

"This is not a small amount, King Jin doesn't want to get money for nothing."

"What do you mean, Swallow?"

Wang Li asked tentatively, he felt that Bai Liyan did not refuse in person, but there was room for negotiation, but at this time, Ji Jinsheng was uncertain:

"Could it be that Wang Li really has such a big face and can get such materials!"

While Ji Jinsheng was thinking, Bai Liyan said:

"There are no guns for the time being, there are no body armor, there are 200,000 guns, 300 mountain guns, and the rest will be discussed."

"Why don't you have guns and body armor?" Wang Li asked.

"The Xian army is not enough guns, the body armor is expensive, and the Xian country can only equip the combat Xian army, which is not enough to equip the whole army in large quantities."

The two types of guns involved eight types of guns, and the Xianjun army is in the process of fully refitting most of these two models, and the production of the models accumulated in the past six years has only barely completed all the re-equipping, with a slight reserve surplus of tens of thousands and local training.

Excluding foreign aid and the equipment of the Xian army, the reserves of the two types of old guns exceeded one million, and the main ones that could equip the princes were the two old guns.

At present, there has been no full-scale expansion of the army, and the 300,000 recruited foreign soldiers have not been included in the equipment establishment. After the comprehensive expansion of the army, the gap between the two types of guns is less than 500,000 to 600,000, plus the royal guests have to take some away, do some human assistance, and equip the princes, and the gap is at least more than one million.

As for body armor, this thing is too expensive, the price of golden silkworm silk is not lower than ordinary silk, the output is limited, the No. 1 bulletproof steel is affected by the supply of collar elements, the output has not been very large, the economic cost of large-scale equipment and production is too high, and the production capacity is insufficient.

At present, it can only be used in a limited supply of the Xianjun and Yuke combat troops, as well as key groups, and the King of Jin will ask for 200,000 pieces of body armor when he opens his mouth, that is, to rob.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and Bai Liyan continued with what she had just said:

"Brother, this battle is different from the past, the King of Jin only sent 300,000 soldiers and horses, it is too little, and the future is a war of attrition, only the Liang State fought for eight months, the coalition army suffered 300,000 casualties, and it is only the enemy attacking and defending, the Jin State only sent 300,000 troops, it is really insincere."

At this time, Wang Li's face was solemn, he knew that Bai Liyan's words were very serious, and he said:

"The alliance was proposed by the Xian State, and the number of troops sent was a matter for the princes, and the Xian State had no right to intervene. Moreover, my Jin Kingdom is not as strong as the Xian Kingdom, with 300,000 casualties in the First World War, so how can my king explain to the subjects of the whole country. ”

"Xianguo has no right to ask, the casualties are extremely tragic, but can my brother ever think that the Jin Kingdom will follow in the footsteps of his grandson, and when the country is ruined, it will not be 300,000 dead and wounded, but 30 million, 30,000, and even extinction, whether the King of Jin can afford it, or my Xianguo can afford it, my brother has ever thought about it."

Bai Liyan did not hide his anger, since the Jin State captured Jiangdong East County, the Jin State has been hovering at the level of taking advantage of small advantages, engaging in small actions, and playing right and wrong. At present, when life and death are at stake, they still want to preserve their strength, and if they indulge and tolerate their reckless behavior, it will undoubtedly have a very negative political demonstration effect.

But Wang Li's focus is lower, he does not agree with Bailiyan's political ideas, so he will not fall victim to Bailiyan for the so-called "world affairs", and on the way to Xianguo, he is ready to face Bailiyan toughly.

"Yanzi, I don't want to argue with you, now that my Jin Kingdom has limited national strength, I can't afford to drag on such a fierce battle for several years, I hope you understand my hardship."

"You have a hard time in Jinguo, is that what I should be! You go to Guangxin yourself, go to Jinye to have a good look, only one battle, the whole city is in ruins, and it is still a piece of rubble. Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced, and such losses have fallen on your Jin Kingdom, what should you do? Do you wait for Shengfan to raze every city and kill every citizen before you are ready to send troops? ”

Bai Liyan asked, there was no previous harmony between the words, and at this time, Wang Li's face became more and more heavy, and his heart was like a boulder.

He knew the losses of Guangxin and Jinye, but these losses did not happen to the Jin Kingdom after all, and he could not feel the pain caused by the destruction of a city.

The economic value of Guangxin is twice that of Jinye City, the economic output value of Jinye is three times that of Pingtang, the capital of Jin, one Guangxin is equivalent to the economic output of six Pingtang City, and in 653 years of artillery battle, Xianguo is equivalent to the loss of six Pingtang City, and two or three hundred thousand people are homeless.

Since the founding of the Jin Kingdom, there has never been a tragic case of 300,000 people displaced in a city, even the victims caused by drought and floods are distributed in dozens of counties and hundreds of counties and townships, which is completely different from the pressure concentrated in one point.

In the past four or five years, not counting all kinds of deaths, a total of more than 6 million refugees have poured into Xianguo, and the financial and local pressures brought about by this are beyond Wang Li's imagination, let alone what the Jin state, an agricultural vassal state, can afford.

Bai Liyan was not angry about the small abacus of the Jin State, but the inaction and selfishness of the Jin State.

Since the uncle was in power, there has been a crooked wind and evil atmosphere in the Jin Kingdom, but if there is a little disadvantage, he will bury his head and be a turtle, but whenever there is a little benefit, he will immediately show his greedy face, and divide the benefits with extreme evil.

It is undeniable that there are only interests between countries, but there should be the most basic downline.

Seeing this situation, Ji Jinsheng opened his mouth and said:

"Wang Sima is tired from coming from afar today, so it's better to rest for the time being, and wait until tomorrow to see Queen Xian and then make plans."

Wang Li took Ji Jinsheng's next step, and he said:

"What General Ji said is extremely true, today is indeed a little sleepy, and even the mood has changed very badly, it is inevitable that something is inappropriate, and I hope that Yongxing Hou will forgive me."

Bai Liyan restrained her anger, got up and raised her hand to prepare to leave:

"Then please ask my brother to rest for a while, and I will arrange for the Jin delegation to meet my king tomorrow."

"There is Lao Yongxinghou who bothered."

"Farewell."

With a slight salute, Bailiyan turned around and left, waiting for him to leave the mansion. Wang Li sighed and said:

"He's still the same, he's still so strong."

At this time, Ji Jinsheng said:

"Bailiyan has always been like this, even if he gives in, he will get it back from other places. At present, the situation is tense, and Xianguo is not stable. Bai Liyan was busy with government affairs, and her words were inevitably a little excessive. ”

"General Ji, how can you excuse Bailiyan."

Resident envoy Lin Buluan said, but Ji Jinsheng disagreed, saying:

"The general is just seeking truth from facts, if the current situation is replaced by other princes, let alone four years, even four months will not be able to withstand it, and it is extremely difficult to form the current situation."

Ji Jinsheng has been fighting with Baili Yan for 30 years, but he also admires Bai Li Yan's talent and strategy, Fang Cai is just a fair statement from the heart, and he has no other political tendencies, and it does not mean that he is on the side of Xianguo.

Wang Li listened to Ji Jinsheng's words, and his heart became more complicated. He has never been able to jump out of the worldview of the division of princes, and if he wants to stand on a higher level and look at the world, his thinking is limited to the inherent shackles.

After a moment of silence, Wang Li put aside the content of Fang Cai and asked something else:

"General Ji, after the First World War in Guangxin, how did Xianguo resettle the Guangxin disaster victims."

"Shunt method."

Wang Li was puzzled when he heard this, and then asked again:

"What is the shunt method?"

"That is, the people who have no fixed place to live in a place will be dispersed to the counties and villages in the territory according to one guarantee and one class or the whole village. If it is a person in Guangxin City, it will be scattered according to a street and a square to go to the counties in the territory. In addition, individuals can choose where to go according to their own volition, but only at the places provided by the government. ”

"How much will it cost according to this method?"

"The specifics are not clear, but Bailiyan's method is different, I am afraid that not only does it not cost much food, but also makes a profit."

Wang Li was taken aback when he heard this, of course he knew that the resettlement of the displaced people required the imperial court to spend money, but he had never heard that the resettlement of the victims could still be profitable.

"There are 200,000 or 300,000 people affected by the disaster in Guangxin and the surrounding areas, and it is not easy to resettle, how can there still be taxes."

"According to what ordinary people think, it is naturally a loss, but Bailiyan is not an ordinary person. Wang Sima may not know that the city of Guangxin, including the counties under its jurisdiction, has a population of more than one million, almost equal to the population of an ordinary county.

The people of Guangxin city and the surrounding villages were affected by the disaster, and were scattered to the counties under the jurisdiction of Guangxin, and each county was divided into tens of thousands of people, among the tens of thousands of people, the rich people were placed in the county seat, and the farmers were placed in the villages under the county. After that, the land under the county was allocated for the disaster victims to cultivate, and the tax was exempted for three years, and farm tools were distributed free of charge, and cattle were rented.

At the same time, Qianfang provided low-interest loans to local workshop merchants in various counties and exempted them from certain taxes, encouraging these workshop merchants to employ the affected people. The imperial court provided manual machinery or convenience machines to merchants for merchants to buy, and then hired laborers to work, and the court and foreign wealthy merchants and nobles purchased finished or semi-finished products from merchants' workshops.

In this way, it not only solves the problem of resettlement of disaster victims, but also provides a profitable livelihood to support their families. In this way, you only need to deal with it properly, survive the first year, stabilize the second year, and you can have benefits in the third year.

The Guangxin artillery battle started four years ago, and now although the city of Guangxin is still in ruins, other counties and villages under the rule of Guangxin are prosperous. Presumably, the money and grain used by the Xian State to resettle the victims of the disaster have already been recovered at this time. ”

Wang Li was surprised when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked Ji Jinsheng:

"The people of the eldest grandson who fled into the Xian country are also settled in this way?"

"Not really. The people who fled into the eldest grandson were many millions, and the victims of the vicious disease infection in the first two years were very large, Bailiyan set up an epidemic station in Qingtian to collect the disease-free displaced people, but they were not allowed to leave Qingtian, and now there are more than 5 million people in Qingtian County. ”

"Shhh...... So much! How did the Baili Yan deal with it. ”

"As far as I know, Bailiyan has exempted all taxes in Qingtian County, and has not collected a penny so far. At the same time, land and farm tools were distributed to the displaced people free of charge, and the methods of farming were taught so that they could support themselves. ”

"As far as this general knows, there are many hills in the south of Qingtian, and only the northern county is suitable for farming, and it has been mainly engaged in agriculture and mulberry before, rich in middle and lower fret silk fabrics, how can it feed more than 5 million people."

"It is said that it is impossible to feed, but the Xian country has good breeds, there is fertilizer, there are countless cattle in Qianyue Mountain, General Wang should not forget, there are also ubiquitous money mills. If the imperial court did not levy taxes, the output of three or five acres of land could feed a family of five.

In addition, the Xian State has a large number of harvesters and threshers, which are concentrated in the fields for harvesting and threshing, and do not collect 5 million people tax, but only the harvesters can bring hundreds of thousands of strong laborers every year, and if converted into household registration, it is equivalent to about 400,000 households.

Coupled with improved varieties and new technology, the grain and taxes produced by the counties of Xianguo were enough to make up for the losses of Qingtian County. ”

"In this way, millions of displaced people were easily resettled by Bailiyan."

"This is not true, the displaced people in Qingtian County, Sangnan and Sangbei are far inferior to the local people of Xianguo, at best they will not die of hunger, because there are too many people, if they do not cut down trees and open up wasteland, arable land is still tight."

"Can the other princes follow suit?"

This is the problem that Wang Li is concerned about, only if Bailiyan's measures can be replicated, the princes of all countries can quickly recover their vitality, which naturally includes the Jin Kingdom.

But Ji Jinsheng shook his head again and again, he said:

"Can't be imitated."

"Why is that?"

"As far as the general knows, the industries of the Xianguo are like forests, the money is abundant, and in the past four years, there have been a huge number of wealthy people who have moved in and fled into the Xianguo from the hinterland of the Changsun, the Liang Kingdom, the Xihai, and the Central Plains, and they have carried countless gold and silver treasures.

Bailiyan used a government decree to appease and resettle the wealthy, and at the same time ordered Qianfang and Si Nongfu to encourage merchants and workshops from all over the country to hire foreigners who entered the hinterland of Xianguo, and the current situation is that the more rich and displaced people who fled into Xianguo, the stronger the national strength of Xianguo. ”
