Lu Lin subconsciously closed his eyes tightly, reined in the horse, and the next moment, a warm blood foam sprayed on his face, but he didn't feel pain, as soon as he opened his eyes, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A cavalryman crossed in front of him, blocking most of the arrows, saving his life, only a few of them crossed him and shot into the cavalry behind him, because of his subconscious sudden stop, the knights behind him couldn't help but stop their horses, and even the impact of heavy arrows knocked them away.

At this moment, he saw that "Meng Liang" also led the army to a halt, and two rows of light horsemen in gauze clothes crossed the heavy horses in Zaijia and rushed in their direction.

Lu Lin was in a hurry, and he didn't care about the person who was blocking in front of him, and hurriedly planned to lead the army to avoid, at this moment he was the same as Meng Liang in his heart, extremely aggrieved, but at the same time he was aggrieved, he was also shocked, he didn't put the rising star of the so-called "Tangshan Archer" in his eyes, but now it seems that it really deserves its reputation.

On the side, Meng Liang was observing, pulling the envoy to point to the fake "Tangshan Archer" and said, "Have you found it?" This cavalry clearly has stirrups, and is better than ours, and the thing under their ass is also helping them to stabilize their bodies and allow them to ride and shoot with impunity.

Moreover, the horse does not look like a bad horse, although it does not look very good, but its patience is excellent, within thirty miles, the Youzhou horse wins, within fifty miles, neck to neck, but a hundred miles away, this horse far surpasses the Youzhou Rong horse!

I want to reorganize the Tangshan archers, and after the reorganization, the Tangshan archers will have no opponents except for this army. It's just that I don't know which country this army is, and the cost of each horse is at least one gold, and this thousand five hundred horses is definitely not something that ordinary countries can have. ”

In fact, it is not only a matter of cost, but also a problem of productivity, and at present, the Han army is close to 30,000 people. Most of them are relying on Yongchun Island, which is relying on Zhuxia, to bear the maintenance costs, and the people bear a small part.

Raising this army every year, Zhuxia consumes nearly 300,000 stone of grain a year, and the agricultural tax paid by the people a year is only 1.5 million stone, which is equivalent to a single grain per mu, which is still the best result, in most cases, the grain handed over in a year is only 11.2 million stone.

After Yongchun Island obtained phosphate rock resources in Zhuxia, plus grass ash and dung, 1.2 million mu of farmland can have an annual grain income of 5 million stones.

Of course, Zhuxia has spread the news that dung can increase grain production in the name of the two gods of Yan and Huang, and it is very likely that the agricultural tax of the Han Kingdom will increase to two million next year.

This kind of increase in production with the same manpower and the same time is actually a kind of improvement in production efficiency, and developed business is based on high-productivity agriculture, and this technology to improve production efficiency will also promote business development.

In addition to grain, there are two hundred and fifty gold per month in commercial tax, especially with the huge market of Huangguo, which is different from the closed market environment of Liaodong, he has exchanges with the whole world, although the cycle is long, but it is better than the saturation of the market.

Among the 7,000 troops, the annual salary of the 5,000 foot soldiers is 1,800 gold, and the annual salary of the 2,000 cavalry is 1,080 gold, a total of 2,880 gold, because the cavalry is a skill allowance of 5 copper coins more than the foot soldiers every day.

That's right, a foot pawn is 10 copper coins a day, and a cavalry is 15 copper coins.

Some people may wonder if this is too low, a young man works for a day, basically has an income of 20-30 copper coins, why is it so shabby to be a soldier?

This is the price that military merit fields need to pay, and the fields are not so easy to take! This is especially true for fields that do not have to pay agricultural taxes. Those who are more in the camp have no military pay at all, three meals a day, 30 acres of military merit land, the kind that they like to want, and there are many people who want to be soldiers.

Of course, it doesn't mean that these 30 acres don't have to pay agricultural taxes, they belong to them!

First of all, if the field is produced, if their family has enough to eat, they must take it out and sell it, so first of all, the business tax must be paid! Secondly, this field still belongs to the Han Kingdom, and they have no right to sell it.

Finally, Zhu Xia can change places for them at the beginning of the year or in the last few months of the year, and they must admit this, and this is made clear when giving them military merit fields.

This is not only the case for military merit, but also for Jishitian, Gewutian, Zhizhitian, and Contribution Field.

Some people just said, wouldn't there be officials who deceived their superiors and subordinates and falsely reported the number of military meritorious fields? Then you've succeeded in making Zhuxia laugh!

The military salary and equipment are all handed over to the non-commissioned officers themselves according to the list, and there is no way to eat utopian dreams, if you say that the impostor and pull a common person to replace that person, you must first be a young man, otherwise the officials of the logistics department can stone him to death with a military membership.

According to this salary, combined with the position and meritorious service, the number of military meritorious fields each year is verified, and the number of discrepancies can be found out by checking it.

And other servicemen will not slaughter him for their own benefit?

Well, even if he puts his tentacles into the army, he still has a good relationship with the general, and he can even collude with the officials who issue military salaries, is he a vegetarian when he is in the Goshawk Palace? When Fox House is vegetarian?

He was a vegetarian when he was a Yushitai?

The information of the Yushitai and the Intelligence Department can facilitate Zhuxia to corroborate each other and avoid being deceived by others.

As for the future, the big deal is the same as the future generations, all of them are exempted from agricultural taxes and live on commercial taxes, so I don't believe that the people are covering the grain one by one and getting moldy?

When the price of grain falls to the protective price, the people will definitely plant cash crops for the sake of profit, and exchange cash crops for money to buy grain.

At that time, who could manipulate food prices?

It's a big deal to grow more food and see how much he can eat?

In fact, it is not necessary to do it all, as long as the price of grain rises and there is a profit, those who have land in their hands will naturally go to plant.

There is no grain tax on Yongchun Island, and Zhuxia can also have enough food.

And the salaries of these armies are plus various consumptions, and the maintenance cost of the entire army is almost 250 gold a month, which is when Zhu Xia first arrived in this world, and there were only seven gold in the treasury at that time, which could not be raised at all.

At that time, the army was full of 300 people, and there was no military salary, including the whole world at present, the soldiers were not paid, and giving you a bite to eat was the greatest gift, and very few countries would give the soldiers fields. At the beginning, those scholars used the grain of the Han Kingdom to help them raise soldiers.

In other words, Zhu Xia was the first monarch in the world to propose a military salary.

Back to the point, the light cavalry in the gauze clothes had no heavy objects, and the horses were fast, and the army of Lu Lin's army came in a hurry, and after a lot of chase battles before, the speed could not be improved for a while, and the light cavalry easily forced into the range of three hundred paces this day.

Whoops—

Under the strength of the bow and arrow, this thin and light arrow can often fly far beyond the distance and height of ordinary arrows, and easily draw an arc and fall into the cavalry of Lu Lin's department.

Fortunately, the lethality of light arrows is very limited in front of the armor, and the death toll is even less than thirty, but the heavy cavalry that followed the light cavalry also followed Su Hong, which was a nightmare for Lu Lin.

The initiative of the entire battle situation is on the side of the Han State, Lu Lin holds his old qualifications, and originally wanted to teach the other party a lesson, but now his three thousand iron cavalry was pressed and beaten by the Han cavalry, and he couldn't raise his head at all.

Because as soon as you look up, it is equivalent to using practice to block light arrows, many people don't pay attention, and when they look up, they are faced with an arrow hitting the face, wiping their hands and their hands are mushy blood.

In fact, at this time, if the arrows sticked with horse manure are absolutely shot one and one dies, in the case of light arrows, it is very difficult to annihilate them all, which is also one of the disadvantages of light cavalry, they cannot fight with the enemy, and attack the enemy's strengths with their own shortcomings, so they still need the cooperation of other arms to annihilate the enemy.

So what Lu Lin and the others need to pay attention to is not to be shot by heavy arrows, that thing can completely break through their armor, and if they are hit by heavy arrows, they will not die but also be seriously injured, but fortunately, the range is very short, and they can completely avoid it.

Just when Su Hong was shooting and pressed Lu Lin to beat, all the light horsemen returned to his side one after another, indicating that the arrows were gone!

Su Hong had no choice but to send an order to gather the team, the whole army came with 1,500 people, and when he left, there were still 1,500 people, but the arrows were used with light, 30,000 arrows, and they were officially sold out after passing through Quanzhou County, Mengliang, and Lulin.

Killed 100 people from Meng Liang's department and 500 people from Lu Lin's department.

But injured, ninety percent of the soldiers stayed, unlucky, almost all over the body, and this battle also fought Lu Lin held a vicious breath in his chest, this evil spirit had nowhere to vent, looking at the dashing departure of Tangshan archers, he viciously threw the weapon in his hand on the ground, pulled down the helmet, sat on the horse and gasped.

It was a battle he had never experienced before!

He was defeated by a rising junior?

This face is disgraced to the family!

He didn't dare to chase at all, and it was in vain to chase him, have you ever chased after him?

Okay, even if you chased it, he could see it clearly just now, and everyone still has a pot of arrows useless! At first glance, I knew that it was the last quiver that would be used in an emergency, and he was now sent to death from above?

However, at this moment, he saw Meng Liang with a gloating face.

Meng Liang saw the other party's glances, and secretly said in his heart that it was bad!

Sure enough—

"Take down this gang of unidentified people for me!"

It just so happened that Lu Lin couldn't vent his anger, and Meng Liang was unfortunately seen by the other party gloating, after all, he was going to remind him, but Lu Lin was arrogant and didn't take him seriously at all, and directly interrupted his words, this was completely the other party's own fault, and he naturally wanted to gloat!

However, this schadenfreude completely hit the muzzle of the gun!

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Lu envoy hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Slow and slow, we are the envoys of the Lu State, and we have come here for the marriage, and there is no malice, this is Meng Liang, and these knights are Tangshan archers."

Lu Lin was a little confused, and immediately looked at him with an idiot look.

"He's Meng Liang? So you mean, the old man was defeated by an impostor, and he, the real one, had no ability to resist in the slightest?

Are you an idiot to be an old man?? Or are you blind and deaf? ”
