It is different from the previous time when Guan Yi fought a war and asked for money and food first, and then made a plan. In the past, Ji Han was very poor, and he fought for a few dollars if he had a few dollars. But now it's different, now it's Da Sima who talks about the plan first, and then your officials in charge of economics and logistics are responsible for providing the guarantee of the plan: How much money do I need for this battle? You're responsible for giving me enough money!

So, after the adoption of the entire strategic plan, everyone turned their attention to the light and simplicity.

The two glanced at each other, and both saw a wry smile at each other.

"Your Majesty, Da Sima, all the officials." Mi Zhao listed: "The minister will first report to you on the various livelihood situations this year. This year, in June of the ninth year of Yanxing, the Dasi Nongfu updated the statistics of the national household registration. Excluding the tax-exempt household registration in the names of the imperial family, officials, officials, soldiers, various servants, and various major families, there are currently a total of 2.93 million people in the national civil register, and counting the 450,000 people who have recently been brought in by the eradication of baldness and the Nan'anqiang, it is still less than 3 million. Of these nearly three million people, women account for about 1.8 million people in the first place. ”

When Mi Zhao reported this number, Guan Yi's face couldn't help twitching: It is true that people are like dogs in troubled times, but troubled times must also be staged. In the early days of the troubled times, when the power of destruction completely exceeded the power of order, on the one hand, the mass death of the population, and on the other hand, the young men had far more chances of survival than the old and weak women and children. So at that stage, there were more men and fewer women. In the later period of the troubled times, although the whole world was still constantly conquering, the local order was guaranteed. At this stage, the young and strong are constantly losing, while the old and weak women and children have a better chance of surviving.

Therefore, in the current Jihan country, there are more women than men.

"Of the remaining nearly 1.2 million men, about 250,000 are over the age of 40. Those under the age of 20 accounted for nearly 400,000. Therefore, at present, there are only 550,000 men suitable for service in the three states of the country. Therefore, if the army is expanded to 300,000 according to the strategy of Da Sima just now, and at the same time, 100,000 people must be transferred to ensure logistics. That is, about 280,000 were requisitioned from these 550,000 men, which is almost one in two...... Moreover, the lower officials want to remind you that these 550,000 men are not all farmers. There are also a large number of craftsmen and merchants......"

Zhuge Liang often did this in the past, but when Jiang Wei presided over the Northern Expedition, Chen Di did not do it often, but for a long time in order to support Jiang Wei. As a result, all industries in the former Shu and Han dynasties withered, and the population growth rate almost stagnated. If Guan Yi does the same, it is not good, the country that has begun to flourish in Ji Han in recent years will inevitably decline rapidly.

"On the issue of drawing strong men, of course, it is too much to draw one out of two. But in any case, for the sake of this unprecedented war, it is inevitable to draw a large number of strong men into the army. What this official means is that Nanzhong, Jiaozhou, Fuling County, Wenshan County, Hanjia County, Yongliang alien races, and even the Western Regions can find ways to recruit troops from these places. In the past, the country was poor, and the settling-in allowance for conscription here was very small, but now that the government treasury has money, it can give a little more than enough settling-in money or something. Moreover, the work of transporting grain and grass can be handed over to the aliens of Yongliang to do. Their women and children can also gallop on horseback...... In short, we will strive to reduce the allocation of Han people-epitek to the extent that one of the three is drawn. ”

"Obey the order, subordinates and others try their best to make plans, and strive to achieve Da Sima's goal."

"Well, next, let's talk about money and food."

"Huh." At this time, Mi Zhao and his simple expression seemed very relaxed: "Your Majesty, Da Sima, everyone, when it comes to money and food, the two of us have nothing to complain about." ”

He simply looked at the account book in his hand: "Ladies and gentlemen, as of the beginning of this autumn's harvest, there are a total of 33 million stone grain and 18 billion yuan in the treasury. Shi Yamen, the governor of the province, made a budget, calculated according to 300,000 soldiers, 100,000 horses, 100,000 people, and 50,000 donkeys and mules. The monthly consumption of grain is about 950,000 stones. In this way, the grain stocks can last for three years. As for the problem of money, it seems that the inventory is not too much now, but that is mainly because at present, the Dasi Nong Mansion and Shi Yamen, the governor of the Liufu Mansion, are spending money vigorously, such as vigorously building foundation projects or something according to Da Sima's instructions. In addition, the salaries of officials and soldiers are also paid in full. Therefore, it seems that there is not much inventory. However, if there is a war, the construction of various infrastructure projects will definitely slow down or even stop, and the copper money in the treasury will soon exceed 30 billion. In this case, whether it is the settling-in allowance for conscription, the doubling of soldiers' salaries during wartime, or even the post-war pension, etc., it is sufficient. ”

After listening to the simple report, Guan Yi turned around: "Your Majesty still has any questions?" ”

Liu Chen thought about it carefully: "Da Si Nong, Lone, uh, I have a question." If these strong men all go to war, then the farming or something will definitely be damaged. What is the approximate damage rate? Will there be a shortage of labor, not only is it not enough to pay taxes to the imperial court, but also the imperial court will have to take out things from the treasury to provide relief? ”

"Your Majesty cares for the people, and the blessings of all the people are also." After patting Liu Chen on the back, Mi Zhao bowed down and replied: "Your Majesty, because the imperial court has spent a lot of effort to build various water conservancy facilities and promote all kinds of new species in recent years, the yield per mu in the three prefectures of Yiyongliang is increasing, even in the event of drought, there can be some harvest." And because of the abundance of animal power, many fields, even if cultivated by women and underage men, do not produce much less...... Dasi Nongfu recently made a calculation that if the national policy of drawing one out of three is implemented, then in the first year, the country's mu yield can be maintained at about ninety percent of this year's. Eighty and a half in the second year, and more than seventy in the third year. However, the training of craftsmen is more time-consuming than in agriculture, so the transfer of too many strong men has a greater impact on the output of various workshops...... In short, if the war lasts only three years, the country can afford it. If the war lasts for more than three years, the country's stock will be severely reduced, and it will be more difficult to recover. ”

"Well, it's no wonder that Da Sima set the time of this war at less than three years. I see. Staying in the history of the governor, I still have a question. Many of the women of my Han Dynasty are usually engaged in the production of silk fabrics and woolen fabrics at home. When a large number of men go out to fight, the woman spends more time plowing the fields. Therefore, the reduction in the production of silk fabrics and woolen fabrics is predictable. It's okay to reduce the production of this silk fabric, anyway, this thing is exported to the Western Regions in addition to high-ranking officials and nobles. However, the production of this wool fabric has decreased, and the demand for wool in the grassland has decreased significantly. It took me many years to make the proportion of horses and cattle in the steppe tribes fall and the proportion of sheep increase. But will the livelihoods of the steppe tribes be affected? Will this cause instability? ”

"Your Majesty can think of this layer, it can be said that it is a thousand miles of vision! But Your Majesty, our Han family sons have gone out to fight, and the men and women of the grassland tribes are either following us to fight, or they are helping us carry grain and grass. In the process, we are going to give money! Therefore, the livelihoods of the grassland tribes will not be affected, but will be benefited. Besides, in the two states of Yongliang, the two largest tribes, Bald Xianbei and Nan'anqiang, have been destroyed, and the strength of the other tribes is still very weak. Therefore, when livelihoods are not seriously damaged, the possibility of rebellion by the steppe tribes is extremely small. ”

"Good, then, I don't have any doubts."

After Liu Chen finished asking questions, everyone basically agreed on the same opinion.

"Good, everyone, the national policy has been decided, and the next step is the specific work. First, Shi Yamen, the commander of the army, was responsible for starting the conscription after the end of the autumn harvest this year, with a number of 180,000 soldiers. Among them, the number of Hermes-Epitek should be less than 150,000. However, in order to ensure the proportion of Han people in the national army, it should also be at least 120,000. 100,000 people's husbands should be selected as much as possible from foreign races of strong men and even women and children. All recruits must enter the camp by the end of this year, and the people must build a good file, as long as the army moves, they can set off at any time! ”

"Huo is commanding!"

"Second, the training of recruits. In this matter, the general, the general of the chariot cavalry, and the general of Wei will be responsible. This officer needs you to train the newly recruited 180,000 new troops at least to a basic appearance within half a year. Make sure they don't go berserk when they follow the veterans into battle. ”

"Jiang Wei, Zhang Yi, and Luo Xian are ordered!"

"Third, take stock of all kinds of public works in the country, and if the completion degree is more than ninety, we will make every effort to accelerate the completion. The rest, all terminated. All kinds of people participating in the construction will be given priority to be included in the conscription targets. In this matter, Shi Yamen, the governor of the prefecture, is responsible. ”

"Simple command!"

"Fourth, we should prepare to support all kinds of money and grain, and complete the reserves of cement, weapons, armor, grain, and other strategic materials in Huayin, Fengyi, Wuyuan, and other places in advance. In this matter, the Dasi Nongfu is responsible. ”

"Mi Zhao takes orders!"

"As for sending people to collude with the families and alien races in the Jin Kingdom, and launch intelligence cover-up and strategic deception or something, this official will notify Si Wencao to start launching it later...... Ladies and gentlemen, today's events are very important, and you must not leak a single bit of news. Although once we start conscription, the Jin Kingdom will inevitably be alarmed. However, we must do our best to hide the main direction of our strategic attack. Si Wencao will also focus on guiding the other party to think in the direction of Tongguan in the next work. ”

"Please rest assured, today's events will definitely not be spread out!"

"Your Majesty, the ministers have made arrangements. If everything is agreed, the Great Sima Mansion plans to send troops in June and July of the first year of Guiyuan! ”

"Quasi-play! Ladies and gentlemen, I am young and ignorant, so I can't help much. But as soon as the war starts, the royal family will definitely set an example...... In short, I have entrusted my country to you here! ”

"The ministers have the trust of His Majesty, and dare not do their best to continue to die! I will live up to Your Majesty's entrustment, so that my Han will once again dominate the world! ”
