……

"Sun Tzu said, thousands of miles of food, a thousand dollars a day. Therefore, the wise will eat the enemy, eat the enemy for one minute, and be my twenty minutes; Avoid one stone, when I twenty stones. ”

In front of Lin Xiangru, Mingyue calculated an account for him.

"I consulted Zhao Kuo, the son of Ma Fujun, who is proficient in the art of war, and he said that the implication here is that if you transport military rations from China to the battlefield thousands of miles away, twenty bells of grain, or twenty stones of straw eaten by livestock, can only reach one-twentieth of the ...... if you transport it to the front line."

This is a staggering figure, but it is true, according to the calculation of later generations based on the data in the "Juyan Han Jian", the Han Dynasty transported grain, from Chang'an to hire a car to the border pass, it cost 13,500 yuan, if it was shipped from the Kanto and transferred to the Western Regions, Juyan, the cost is even higher. This money is mainly used for people eating horses during transportation. It is said that Li Guangli's battle against Dawan used 130,000 head of livestock to transport grain, and the grain rate reached an exaggerated one-ninetieth percentage! In the Han Dynasty, where galloping roads and double-wheel cars were very popular, this was still the case, not to mention the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?

Lin Xiangru is an internal history, in charge of taxes, money and food, and deals with these things every day, which is naturally not surprising, and said: "Although what Sun Tzu said was two hundred years ago, but the distant food does not solve the near hunger, and the situation is probably not bad." ”

"However, this is the reason why 100,000 teachers were raised, but 300,000 people were transported grain."

Mingyue still remembered that Shen Kuo, a native of the Song Dynasty, once calculated in detail that a man could carry six buckets of rice, and after calculation, about three people could support a soldier thousands of miles away for thirty days, which was already the limit. Therefore, when an army of 100,000 is dispatched to fight, 300,000 people must be transported with grain.

This time, Zhao Guo invaded Yan and nominally recruited 100,000 people, but at least 60,000 of them were just people who transported grain, and the remaining 40,000 were really in battle, which was also the reason why hundreds of thousands of troops were often launched in the Warring States Period. In Mingyue's mind, it is said that there were 450,000 Zhao troops in the Battle of Changping, and those who really participated in the battle probably did not exceed 150,000. The Qin army wiped out Chu with 600,000, and no more than 200,000 people participated in the battle, and the rest were all people who flew to save Su.

This may be one of the reasons for the inflated number of soldiers during the Warring States period.

"If you use livestock to transport grain, a large cart can carry twenty-five stones, compared with labor, although it can be carried more, the cost is less, but the amount of livestock can be much larger than the people, and it is heavy labor, if you can't graze and feed in time, the animal will be thin and die, and if an animal dies, you can only throw away the grain it pulls. Therefore, compared with manpower, each has its own gains and losses......"

The military situation is like fire, and they have to travel fifty miles a day every day, but they have no time to let the cattle and horses graze leisurely, so they can only feed them. According to the rules of Zhao State, the feed of cattle and horses is mainly hay, straw, and weed, which is called coarse material; Supplemented with beans, it is called concentrate. War horses need to raise fat, ** material, pack horses do not need to run fast, eat more coarse materials. But even if it is coarse material, it is collected from the households of various counties and stored in warehouses.

Mingyue persuaded: "Lin Qing tried to think about it, if this time is successful, in the future, Zhao Guo will fully implement the double wheel car according to this system, and then tens of thousands of stones will be saved every year...... Hasn't Neishi been thinking about how to open up sources and reduce expenditure, and reforming the car style is the beginning of throttling! ”

This remark was as touching as Lin Xiang's heart.

Zhao State and Qin State, the real embodiment of the field tax is grass (grain), sweed, weed three kinds, slash is hay, weed is straw, according to the law, every 100 acres of land people should hand over three stones, in May every year, to hand over three stones, in October, the evil can be reduced to two stones.

The Qin people attach great importance to this, in addition to the explicit provisions of each household to hand over the shut, in addition to the scold, but also strictly made a hard rule on livestock feed, doctors, officials and doctors above the title can get livestock feed for free at the post station, the following is not good. Every year, the government must report the number of their public vehicles, horses, and livestock on time to receive the corresponding shackles and levies, and if they don't report it in time, I'm sorry, and next year's feed for those livestock, just find a way to go by yourself.

The reason why the Qin State wrote into the law the "trivial things" that later generations thought were such as the collection and distribution of shutting and the distribution of stalks, was because they were also strategic materials, and good steel was used on the blade, so that the chariots and horses on the front line could be fed in peacetime.

Although the laws of Zhao are also decent, but artificially enforced, there are too many loopholes, Lin Xiangru did the internal history, but also troubled by this, now after listening to Chang Anjun's description, he suddenly thought, Qin Zhao in the gap, or can be used to make up for the new car implementation......

In the Qin State, one stone can be sold for fifteen yuan, one stone can be sold for five yuan, and the price of Zhao is about the same, and the beans are more expensive.

In short, after calculation, the reform of the car style proposed by Mingyue can save 30,000 or 40,000 yuan for Lin Xiangru's internal history this time, and if it is extended in the future, let the whole country use double-wheel cars to transport grain, it is not a dream to save 500,000 yuan a year!

500,000 yuan, which is the total amount of grain handed over by a large county of 10,000 households in a year......

Lin Xiangru carefully read the algorithm on the silk book a few times, there were no loopholes, Chang'anjun took all the factors into account, he closed the silk book, without saying a word, got up and made a big gift to Chang'anjun!

"It's a shame that the old man almost missed a good government that is beneficial to the country and the people because of his short-sightedness!"

……

After saying that Lin Xiangru was moved, things became much easier, and without further ado, he took Mingyue that night and went to Pingyang Jun's Mansion again.

Although Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao was unhappy with Mingyue bypassing him, his boss, to find help from others, Lin Xiangru was the person he respected the most in the court, and he also had to give face, so he could only listen to the detailed account book head-on, and he was also slightly surprised to learn that he could save so much money after reforming the new car style, but he was still cautious about the risks to be taken.

"The kid naturally knows that this is related to the military situation, I am willing to make a military order, if there is a mistake, please Lin Qing and Uncle I only ask!"

Immediately Mingyue proposed that when he came back from Qi before, there were more than 100 single-wheel carts, and now they are idle in the mansion, so he will donate them all this time, so that there can be 100 more carts transporting grain, so that even if there is a problem, it will not be fatal.

As a result, Zhao Bao was also a little loose. In the end, under the mediation of Lin Xiangru, Zhao Bao and Mingyue each took a step back and decided to build 100 traditional single-wheel carts and 200 new double-wheel carts this time, which will be completed within 15 days.

Lin Xiangru stroked his beard and said: "The old man will send two officials to write down all the stalk and weed consumed by the carriages and horses along the way, and when they return, they will add up to see if the double-wheel cart can transport grain more than the single-wheel cart!" ”

This method made Pingyang Jun and Mingyue more satisfied, and Mingyue was still responsible for the work of supervising.

After running around for a day, his legs were about to break, and it was early in the morning after Mingyue went back, and he only had time to lie down in his clothes for a while, so he asked Nuqi to wake him up, hurriedly ate something, and rushed to the place near the hundred homes to attack wood, summoned all the craftsmen and craftsmen, and asked them to come up with a charter for building a car.

Craftsmen and craftsmen are already familiar with this line of work, and soon draw up a division of labor on the slip and dedicate it to Mingyue.

Engineer Zhang Lao lowered his head and said: "When Gongzi inspected that day, I saw that these 100 craftsmen in the family, collectively known as wood-tapping workers, mainly make cars. Among them, the wheel and cover are called wheel people, and there is also a division of labor between wheel people, and the first system is made into three materials such as hubs, spokes, and teeth according to the division of labor, and finally they are assembled into wheels by the most skilled old craftsmen. In addition, the public opinion is responsible for making the carriage; The wheels are the various parts of the car...... When everything is ready, it is assembled by the old carpenter. ”

In addition to the wood-tapping, we had to find the help of other craftsmen, and the leather-tappers made leather belts for all kinds of tying cart parts and horse harnesses. The goldsmith is responsible for casting all kinds of copper ornaments, and the coloring worker is responsible for painting and decorating, painting and painting......"

Mingyue listened to it in her ears and deeply felt the complexity of it, which showed that the completion of a car was the result of the fine division of labor and collective labor of carpentry, metalworking, leather and lacquer workers. The so-called "one instrument and work together, the car is many", is a true portrayal of the car industry in this era.

And listening to it, how did he always feel that he was familiar with something in the afterlife?

Thinking about it carefully, Mingyue almost got up!

"Isn't this an assembly line job?"
