As the war escalated, many states needed bows and arrows, and weapons were needed, and Tao Ying took advantage of the chaos to sell these things to fill the void in the treasury.

After solving this kind of problem, Tao Ying began to solve the problem of funding for the military academy, and now many surveying and mapping schools and intelligence schools have already opened. Their task was to survey and map the land, not only their own land, but also the land of other states and counties, and then start making maps.

For the Surveying and Mapping School, Tao Ying still gave great hopes, because only by having a particularly accurate map, accurate to every village, will he not be like a blind man with open eyes when attacking the city in the future. Moreover, after the liberation of the entire Han Dynasty, Tao Ying is also ready to send them out on an adventure with the Maritime Academy, to the other side of the sea to see the outside world, so that the people know that this world is still very big, and their vision cannot be limited.

With an accurate map, all that remains is to know the latest and fastest news, so Tao Ying established the first dark organization, the Intelligence School. This is also subordinate to the mysterious military administration, and their main task is to disperse throughout the country, and then rely on their own industries to transmit and collect information.

Modern technology and modern reforms seem to have made Pengcheng begin to exude some feared majesty from the inside out. The reform of the academy was in full swing, and in Taoling Town, when Tao Ying was discussing with a group of civil and military officers how to deal with Lu Bu's investment, another good news came.

It turned out that when Wang Lang returned to Huiji, Wang Lang gave the scientific book given by Tao Ying to some friends to read, and those friends were even more surprised, treating it as the capital of mountains and seas, and these strange things attracted curious scholars and ordinary people all the time. Therefore, many people went to Wang Lang's mansion to see it proudly.

Wang Lang's mansion was full every day, so he asked Tao Ying for help, because there was no paper yet, so he couldn't copy the things that Tao Ying painted, and it was too laborious to copy them on the bamboo slips. Just as a group of people were about to talk about the reform of the army after discussing the reform of the academy, Jia Ding sent Wang Lang's letter of request for help.

Huiji is thousands of miles away from here, and this letter is obviously urgent day and night, which shows that Wang Lang at this time is really annoyed by curious people.

In the Tao Mansion House, the time quickly changed from morning to afternoon, and the arguments never stopped. However, a shout from the family broke the original restlessness.

"Master, the prince of Huiji has sent an urgent letter!"

The family's start broke the noisy living room, and Tao Ying asked people to present the letter, which was written on the paper that Tao Ying gave to Wang Lang. Unwrapping the envelope, he took out the letter and read it to himself.

After reading the letter, Tao Ying had a smile on his face, Wang Lang and Peng Cheng and his party, although they spent a lot of money on Peng Cheng, but they finally did not lose money. Wang Lang asked Tao Ying to sell the paper to Huiji County, and at the same time hoped that Tao Ying could print more of the geography manuscripts he wrote and then sell them to Huiji, and many people in Huiji did not hesitate to read them.

For a time, Tao Ying's geography manuscript turned out to be a bestseller, which Tao Ying did not expect. After receiving Wang Lang's letter, Tao Ying suddenly found a good way to make money, that is, to let the teachers and students of the Xuzhou Printing School keep studying printing, and then print and distribute their own manuscripts.

Except for those particularly advanced things that are not allowed to be sold elsewhere, the others can be exported to various states, so that on the one hand, they can sell their own paper and printing industries, and they can make a lot of money, which can be used to build Pengcheng at that time.

After making up his mind, Tao Ying asked people to send orders, and then asked people to copy a few copies of his manuscript and go to print. After sending the family away, the house became quiet for a while.

It was getting dark, and this time the talk of reform had been discussed for a whole day. Seeing that it was getting dark, Tao Ying let everyone rest for a while, and then asked his subordinates to prepare meals.

When the torches in the hall were lit, the June night came. On a summer night, there are crickets everywhere, and under the clear starry sky, the people of the countryside have gathered together to chat, and the people of Pengcheng also took advantage of the cool night to start building the city wall.

After eating, a debate is about to begin again. After solving the problems in the school, the civil and military began to debate the issue of grain and grass again. Now there are nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses in Pengchengguo and Xiapicheng, and the 20,000 soldiers and horses need a lot of food and food every day, while the land of Pengcheng has many people and few places, plus the taxes paid, it is simply impossible to support so many soldiers and horses.

So the civilian officials hoped that Tao Ying would be able to disarm again and reduce the number of soldiers and horses to 10,000. 10,000 soldiers and horses were enough to protect a county, but the generals disagreed. Now Xuzhou is in the land of four wars, Cao Cao is now defeated by Lu Bu, Yanzhou is in a big drought, Cao Cao is in urgent need of grain and grass, and it seems that the best bully around is Xuzhou.

Therefore, the generals believe that sooner or later Yanzhou will invade Xuzhou again, because Yuan Shao in the north and Yuan Shu in the south are the masters he cannot provoke.

What's more, now Xuzhou is also particularly unstable, now in the north of Xuzhou, after Cao Cao's two invasion battles, under the assistance of Liu Bei, the pottery merchants are also the whole army, recruiting soldiers in Xuzhou, and buying horses everywhere, now the soldiers and horses in Tanxian County are no less than 20,000 people, not to mention that these soldiers and horses are trained by Liu Bei's three brothers, which has a great threat to Pengcheng.

Therefore, the generals felt that they should continue to recruit troops.

After arguing for a long time, Tao Ying suddenly stood up and walked up in the hall, thinking of ways as he went. Everyone couldn't agree on the same opinion, at this time Chen Deng offered advice next to him, Chen Deng stood up, first bowed to Tao Ying, Tao Ying nodded, signaling that he could express his opinion.

The room was quiet again, Chen Deng looked at Tao Ying and said: "Lord, now that Pengcheng has just stabilized, everything is changing, if there is no army to protect it, even if Pengcheng is rich, sooner or later it will become fat in the mouths of other princes, so his subordinates think that not only can not reduce the soldiers and horses, but should expand the soldiers and horses to 30,000 people." ”

After Chen Deng finished speaking, he stood up sternly and asked: "With so many soldiers and horses, where will the food and salary come from?" ”

Chen Deng looked grim, and the severity was also-for-tat. Regarding the salary, it seems that Chen Deng has a certainty, so Chen Deng said again: "As for the salary, the lord can let the army settle in the field where the troops are stationed. There are tens of thousands of acres of fertile land on the border of Pengcheng, and if it is cultivated well, coupled with the funding of free fertilizer produced by Pengcheng, the problem of grain and grass will naturally be solved. Garrisoning troops and horses on the border can also deter enemy forces. (A pie-in-the-sky event, cool phones are waiting for you!)
