Chapter 41: Peaceful Life
There were only four people in the house, Yun Yue, Yu Lao, Wei Fang and Li Si. The atmosphere was very solemn, and just now Yun Yue told the three subordinates about the secret discussion in the Chengming Palace.
"So what do you mean by the Queen Mother and the Empress Xiao, who want us to send troops to Pingliang to quell the rebellion in Chengjing?" The old fisherman was a little hesitant.
"Yes! For this, we were also given 2,000 households. As you know, what we lack most in Pingliang is population. This is more than 10,000 people, how important it is to our Pingliang. These are not the slaves we bought back from the Huns, nor are they the merchants who were attached to the Six Kingdoms of Shandong. They are all serious 800 old Qin people, and if they enter, they will be farmers, and if they go out, they will fight. The country of Daqin was built down by these people from generation to generation. ”
Yun Yue didn't want to be involved in such a huge whirlpool, but the temptation was too great. Pingliang is short of people! Just look at the empty Pingliang City to know how scarce the population is.
"How many people will there be in the rebellion?" The Celestial Fang is thinking about purely military issues. Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is his creed.
"My eyes are black! I don't know anything, but I think it would be with Du Bi's help. Putting together an army of 100,000 should not be a big problem. In terms of combat effectiveness, it may be a little worse, but in terms of quantity, it will definitely not be less. ”
"We have about 8,000 soldiers in Pingliang, all of whom are veterans who can fight. In the past two years, they have been constantly at war with the Qiang, Yueshi and Xiongnu tribes. Although there were battle losses, the combat effectiveness was also greatly enhanced. Looking at the current countries, even the Qin State is a first-class battleable army.
Chu Dayong has trained five thousand Mo sword battalions, and everyone is heavily armoured, and they are all selected men. On the battlefield, it is enough to be ten, and Zhang Han also has 3,000 capable cavalry. Both can be used to open the bow with both hands. Although it is not a hundred steps to wear Yang. But compared to the Huns. Mounted archery isn't much worse.
There is also the Great Qin Ruishi who left behind to the general. After the reorganization, there are still 1,200 people. These people can be described as the essence of the Great Qin army, but they have only been in Pingliang for a short time. If you are not familiar with our army's tactics and equipment, you need to be trained for a period of time.
The Qi Guoyuan you brought back is training young and strong people. This man is very capable, he doesn't teach the battering stick at all, and he takes people to train crossbow arrows on the school field all day long. Counting the training of seven or eight thousand people, we have few cool food. Otherwise. There will be more civilian troops.
All in all, if we are all mobilized. It should be possible to mobilize 20,000 horses, Master Geng according to your drawings. A water wheel was built at a waterfall in the mountains, and the production of armor blades increased dramatically. These two months of accelerated production, plus the inventory should equip so many people. ”
Wei Fang carefully counted the number of people, and almost counted the dolls in open crotch pants. There are only more than 20,000 people, but Yunyue estimates that there are at least 100,000 rebels. Taking one as ten is just a slogan, and a fool will take this thing seriously.
"You don't need so many people, bring Zhang Han and those Great Qin Ruishi. Chu Dayong's Modao battalion also brought it. The rest of the people stayed in Pingliang. I am afraid that the Huns are restless. "The Huns have a Qin crossbow in their hands. This made Yun Yue very uneasy. Until he figured out the ins and outs, he didn't dare to let the lair be empty.
"Master Hou, that adds up to more than 10,000 people. We have no chance of winning. ”
"Xianyang City Defense can mobilize 20,000 people, and Yiqujun can mobilize 30,000 people. With the addition of our hands, there are 60,000 troops. Although it is still inferior to the other party in terms of quantity, I believe that it is definitely better than Cheng Cheng in terms of quality. How much combat power can a rabble put together on a makeshift basis.
Besides, we just need to stop them on the way to Xianyang. Don't forget, there are still 500,000 troops there. If he returns to the army to quell the rebellion, Cheng Zhen will not even have scum left. ”
"I'm confused today, and I have to use thunder to deal with people like Cheng Zhen. When he didn't do anything, he decisively captured and killed him. Where can such a great calamity be left, and how many soldiers' lives will be sacrificed by the kindness of a woman for a while. ”
Wei Yanzi's consideration is too biased, and Cheng Zhen's failure to do so means that he is not guilty. If you are innocent and harm the flesh and blood of the first king, what will the brothers of the first king think, and what will the ministers of the clan think. Each feudal monarch will be in danger of everyone, and if you don't get it right, Xiao Wall is the matter in front of you. Therefore, what seems to be the simplest and most effective method does not work. Li Si, who sat and didn't speak, shook his head helplessly. Wei Fang considered things too militarized and politically immature.
"What the old man thinks about is fighting, how to kill fewer people and kill more enemies is what the old man has to consider. You are a little upright, and you are thinking about civil affairs rather than conquest. Our starting point is different. ”
"Well, let's not argue about it. Li Si, tell me about our current family background. This year's drought has caused most of the crops to be harvested. Will our money and food survive this winter? Yun Yue saw that the building had a tendency to be crooked, and immediately spoke out to drag things back on the right track.
"Don't talk about a winter in terms of money and food, even if it's a year, it's no problem. None of the things we produce in Pingliang are profiteering. In glass alone, there were hundreds of carriages from the six countries that came to pick up the goods.
All the princes and nobles like to use this transparent thing to inlay the window, and the window is bright and clear. Both Wei and Zhao purchased a large amount for the palace, and the production orders of the glass factory had been scheduled for two years.
Paper sales in Xianyang is also very large, now workers work overtime, rest people do not stop the machine dry, still can not meet the needs of Xianyang. Not to mention the Shandong countries, once the paper thing is spread out in Daqin. We are building ten more paper factories, and I am afraid that we will not be able to open them.
There will be a bumper harvest of cotton this year, according to the instructions of the Hou Ye. You can use it for your own people first, and if you have another harvest next year, you can sell it for a big price. The shopkeeper of Wusun said that cotton alone can be worth a year's grain output in Pingliang.
The canning factory and the noodle factory are also very profitable, and the income of this road you find by the sea is even more amazing. The shopkeeper of Wusun went to South Korea, and I heard that South Korea wanted to order canned food and dried noodles in large quantities. ”
"Koreans want to order somen and canned food? Still a lot? Yun Yue suddenly interrupted Li Si's words and asked.
"Yes! The demand in South Korea is so great that hundreds of cattle have been slaughtered in the slaughterhouse. This month, 20,000 catties of flour have been used to make dried noodles. ”
The corners of Yun Yue's mouth are upturned, and dried noodles and canned food are the best field food. Although the process is as rough as that of later generations, there is no problem at all when stored for half a year. There is only one reason why the Koreans want such a large amount, and that is to supply military supplies. Thinking of Cheng Zhen's Korean background, Yun Yue felt that this battle seemed to be won.
"Go and find the steward of the food factory, Ben Hou has something to order."
"Whoa!" Zheng Bin, who came in like a monkey, disappeared as soon as he trotted.
"Before winter, we have to buy a lot of cattle and sheep. The best war horses also need some, grain! The most important thing is to have food. Rice, wheat, mushrooms, millet, etc. should be hoarded! The granary in Pingliang City must have the ability to feed everyone in Pingliang for two years. If necessary, something can be settled directly with grain.
In addition, people in the city are encouraged to keep cats. Encourage the people of the city to hunt and kill rats. This thing is the source of the disease, and it should never be underestimated. ”
Li Si could hear the clouds and mountains and fog, this Hou Ye's thinking was too jumpy. Just now, we were talking about the problem of grain storage, and now it should become a rodent extermination campaign.
No way, who makes the family the boss. Li Si wrote them down one by one, and then prepared to execute them in Pingliang.
Li Si, a cool young man, is quite satisfied, not only has a good salary but also a high salary. More importantly, they can realize their ambitions to govern the country. Pingliang City has gone from a ruined city to a prosperous place where merchants gather and traffic is busy, and Li Si has poured a lot of effort into it. Yun Yue also brought back some wizards from the corner from time to time, just like Pang Yuan who brought back last time. The market outside the city is managed quite well.
I met the one named Fan Zeng yesterday, and it seems that he is also a good person. When he spoke, his eyes were purring, and he didn't look like a good person. Since they are both from the Chu State, they can't say that they have to take care of it.
Qi Guoyuan poured a sip of herbal tea, he was a little strange. Why are Pingliang people so good at fighting, he has some doubts that these people are all from the army. In just three or five days, the crossbow arrows were shot with great precision. Although they can't reach 100 steps to penetrate Yang, but at 200 steps, those humanoid targets are still difficult for them. Qi Guoyuan pondered whether to start teaching guns and sticks tomorrow.
Wusun Ji Chang had already secretly taken Qi Guoyuan's family over, but he didn't attract the attention of King Qi. Presumably, the king of Qi at this time has forgotten this general of Qi.
After half a year of getting along, Qi Guoyuan seemed to like this place. All of them are full of vitality and energy. Whether it is an elderly man or a cowherd boy, there is a smile on his face. There is no twilight like Qi Guo here, and Qi Guoyuan likes this atmosphere. If possible, he doesn't plan to leave. I lost Princess Zhang Jia, and when I went back, I could only be chopped up by King Qi and fed to the dogs.
Zou Yan is running a school, although only a few school buildings have been built. But Zou Yan already has the first batch of disciples, all of whom are first-class and intelligent children, in addition to reading and reading every day. Arithmetic is an important subject, and Zou Yan is inexplicably excited about the mantra of one to one, one to two to get two. And so people saw, before a group of naughty children. An old man and a half years old, equally earnestly, reciting.
"One by one gets one, one by two gets two, two two gets four......
On the basis of the Qin Law, Han Fei worked hard to formulate a fundamental Dafa that conformed to the reality of Pingliang. From supporting the legitimate rule of Marquis Yun, all the way to the punishment of spitting and defecating. All of them are framed by the framework of the law, so that people can live in a regular manner. This is the foundation of Han Fei's doctrine, and now it looks like the results are gratifying.
