If the trade with Qin cannot be broken, it will be equivalent to Lu Zheche completely turning his face with the Qin State, so under Lu Zhe's rule, not only will he lose the channel for purchasing livestock, but also the business of buying a large amount of cloth from the Bashu region every season will also be broken, so it is not a good thing for Lu Zhe's rule.

Whether the Qin State will perish or not depends on Lu Zhe, and he does not have that much ability for the time being, but avoiding the premature demise of the Qin State is definitely a beneficial and harmless thing for Lu Zhe's forces.

If the Qin State were to perish too quickly, whether Lu Zhe would become the target of the public has now been cracked with the temporary submission of the Chu State, but the alliance of Qi, Yan, and Zhao, which originally jointly attacked Qin, will inevitably point the finger at Lu Zhe, even if it is not a direct war, just blocking the trade route is enough for Lu Zhe to drink a pot.

Agree with the Qin State in wartime...... At least in the war in Chenjun, if they purchased grain and even weapons and other war materials from under their rule, then the countries would definitely make corresponding demands, and refusing either side would cause a chain reaction, and the problem of passively choosing to take sides.

If the Qin State wants to empty the war reserves of the coalition army, then it can be predicted that the strategic center of gravity of the Central Plains Army will be tilted to the south, and it is not impossible to increase the number of troops to 500,000, and even more than 500,000 Qin troops will go south, and they will inevitably continue to be reinforced with the needs of the war.

At present, the three kingdoms of Qi, Yan, and Zhao are determined to be able to gather more than one million troops, according to 100,000 Qin soldiers, the countries need to send 200,000 or even 25 soldiers to contend with it, and the 500,000 Qin soldiers need to send at least 1.2 million soldiers to confront, so the total number of participants in the battle has exceeded 1.7 million before the decisive stage.

It is certain that the war will spread from the south of Xiafu City to the entire Chen County, and even to Surabaya County, Nanyang County, Dang County, and Dong County, so Wei Han is completely unlucky, so their main population and wealth have been transferred to the south of Nanyang County close to Nanjun, otherwise they should end up with the disaster and Yuchi being killed by the disaster.

In the absence of a war or a small scale of war, Lü Zhe could rely on the prestige of the war to deter the countries from fighting in the territory of Wei and Han, but the war had already broken out and it was more than 200,000 Qin troops against 300,000 Zhao troops at the beginning. In this way, unless Lu Zhe can come up with the strength and advantage of annihilating the Qin army or the Zhao army (which should include the Qi-Yan coalition army) at the same time, it will not be able to stop it.

Agreeing to the purchase of war materials under Qin's rule inevitably requires agreeing to the purchase of war materials by the coalition forces, otherwise it would be an obvious tendency, which is inconsistent with the established strategy of stopping for a period of time to develop internal affairs and continuing to reorganize the army. The question is that with a total of at least 1.7 million people's war materials, does Lu Zhe even want to sell so many things?

"For two years, it has been a continuous ripening, and last year 2.3 million yuan was opened up before the spring ploughing, and the two years include the grain taxes paid by the people and the income of the army, excluding the grain that has been mobilized or used, and the grain stored in the granaries of various places should be between 22 million stone and 22.5 million stone." Xiao He was full of proud expressions when he reported. He was the chief civil servant in charge of internal affairs, and he served as the governor for half a year, and all the gains in this are due to his credit.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand tons?" Lu Zhe was not so surprised, Nanjun, Cangwu County, and Hengshan County were the main contributors, and Lujiang County, Changsha County, and Jiujiang County also contributed some, as for Minnan Jun and Nanhai County, although they did not cultivate, they grabbed the ready-made grain from Baiyue, which was more than Lujiang County, Changsha County, and Jiujiang County.

Jiujiang County was not interrupted because of the war and quickly subsided, but Lu Zhe took the management of Shu's side over there, which was a disguised way to let Shu's be greedy and concealed, so the grain tax paid by Jiujiang County was only similar to that of Lujiang County, which resumed production in half a year after the war subsided. Changsha County was recovered by Lu Zhe for less than half a year, and this county has been burning for nearly two years. During this period, it was ravaged by Minyue, Ouyue, and South Vietnam, and when it was time to pay the grain tax, he only submitted a pitiful amount of 70,000 stones.

I forgot to mention that there has never been any tax exemption within Lu Zhe's territory, no matter what the case may be. Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, as long as there is a permanent birth, there should be a corresponding payment. The so-called constant property is, of course, its wealth, which includes land, shops, and any other property that can generate profits. For those who have constant production, there is an obligation to harvest something, and for those who do not have a permanent production, a grain of rice or a copper plate will not be levied. Instead, it will vigorously implement the cash-for-work model.

It may be that the practice of eating white rice has not yet been cultivated, and it is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In these years, no one felt that the government was a bad government if it did not open its warehouse and release grain, and no one used this as a reason (excuse) for riots. Usually the government just asked them to save themselves, but when they arrived under Lu Zhe's rule, the government would arrange a way out, to be honest, not only did they not think it was bitter but also praised it vigorously, but they also expressed their heartfelt gratitude.

According to the amount of one person eating one pound a day, 1.7 million people need to consume 1.7 million pounds a day, and it is not surprising that a large-scale battle lasts for several months, and it is not unusual to fight for a few years in a stalemate, so it is calculated as tens of millions of pounds of food consumption.

The best part? In times of war, food is not guaranteed to be eaten in the stomachs of soldiers, and many times it is actually a surprise attack on the way to escort and has to be burned, and in some cases, the granaries where grain is stored have to be abandoned and burned, in general, food consumption in these two emergencies will account for almost three-tenths or four of the food consumed in each war. In this way, the consumption of food is so much that it is difficult for anyone to calculate in advance, and it is usually necessary to inflate some amount on the actual need.

"The Qin State is going to consume the war potential of the coalition army, I'm afraid it will ......" Kuai Tong thought deeply, the Qin State would inevitably let Lu Zhe make conditions in exchange for Lu Zhe's agreement not to sell military supplies to the coalition army: "Besides, the world is in chaos, even if we are in the south and have enough arable land to ensure food production, but who can predict what will happen in the future, how can such important military materials be sold for hundreds or tens of millions of stones?" ”

Lu Zhe was unimpressed: "Sell, why don't you sell?" ”

Making war money, this is the easiest thing to get rich after the golden cake falling from the sky, in fact, even if Qin Guo doesn't mention this stubble, he will try his best to let either party buy it.

"War consumes more than food, food is only a part of it." The smile on Lu Zhe's face could not be concealed: "In addition to food, weapons, leather, clothing, and medicine...... Many of them were military supplies needed in wartime. Every county under our rule is land that has been destroyed by war, especially Changsha County and Lujiang County. ”

Changsha County has begun to cultivate the fields, and the aquatic products there are also very rich, and Changsha also has a lot of good wood, which is the necessities of sword handles, spear shafts, and arrow shafts.

In addition to Changsha County, which has its own specialties, all the counties under Lu Zhe's rule have items needed for war, and if he doesn't take advantage of the time when Qin needs other countries to support industry and agriculture, will he foolishly miss the opportunity to use other people's money to develop his own internal affairs?

"But we sold it to the enemy...... Potential competitors, so the future enemy has one more strong point, and we have one less is not weaker? Kuaitong said very excitedly.

What kind of thought is this? When almost everyone objected, Lu Zhe's brain began to hurt a little.

"When the market needs it, social production will inevitably adjust itself as needed, and then ...... Do not understand? Lu Zhe couldn't help but rub his temples: "Okay! You only need to know one thing, because we don't need much, there is only one weapon maker, waiting for the demand to increase, there will inevitably be a second weapon workshop, because ......of the need so development, now it is sold to competitors, but the more the opponent needs, we will have more and more weapons workshops, and when the weapons workshops increase, we do not have much investment, and the cost of building weapons workshops are provided by those competitors when they buy from us. So, the more they need now, the stronger our production will grow in the future. I say that, do you understand? ”

It may be a bit complicated to talk about such a set of arguments that the market determines the economy, but who in modern times does not know how the US imperialism developed, and it is not by making war money! The problem is that Kuaitong is not a modern person, except for Lu Zhe, there is no modern person at all, forcing Lu Zhe to make up such a country, telling stories with history that has not yet happened, and when he is dry-mouthed, someone finally understands, more half-understood!

"So we're not only going to sell, we're going to sell big?" Kuaitong seemed a little dazed, he just didn't understand a little, because the demand of the enemy army can increase the production capacity of his side, but the thing is really given to the enemy army?

"The Lord means that now is a rare opportunity to use other people's wealth to improve the internal affairs of the counties, and we can arrange the functions according to the actual situation of the counties, which is the characteristic of each county itself, even if it can strengthen the enemy for a while, but it will be of greater benefit to us. At the same time, because of the increase in production, the amount of production reaches a certain amount, which will inevitably make the process more perfect, and it is also possible to discover new technologies to increase production capacity and make products of high quality. Xiao He said very softly, word by word, board by glance, if those eyes could glow, what they shot out would definitely be lasers.

Lu Zhe is happy, Xiao He is worthy of being a full-time internal affairs officer, and he really sees it clearly and thinks it thoroughly.

"......" Kuaitong rolled his eyes, in fact, he still didn't understand it. However, since Xiao He, who is an expert in internal affairs, can be so excited, if he doesn't understand that this matter has great benefits, he will really be worthy of the title of a wise man. (To be continued......)
