What's more, 300,000 quintals of grain, and 300,000 taels of gold, where will he find it?

Ling Feng said: "Okay, you don't have to think about this matter, let's talk about what to do now, all the generals are waiting outside." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Yes."

Han Ziyu arched his hand and said: "Back to the lord, in fact, it is easy to divide the troops, the soldiers and horses under my command are all the lord's anyway, the lord calls it casually, and the same is true for Lord Zhang Shilin, the two of us, the lord can be absolutely assured." ”

As soon as the words spoke, Han Ziyu gave Ling Feng a reassurance, and when he heard this, Ling Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Ziyu continued: "Next is Jiang Lin's soldiers and horses, this guy... Hehe, it's easy to deal with, even Lord Zhang and I have handed over the military power, I don't think he has anything to say, plus my three-inch tongue, it's not a big problem. But there is one thing, the lord can reward him more things, give him a little more benefits, otherwise he will not be convinced. ”

In fact, this idea is similar to Zhang Shilin's idea, Zhang Shilin pouted, he originally wanted to say this, but when it came to his mouth, he didn't dare to say it, because he didn't know what Han Ziyu meant.

"Okay."

Ling Feng said with a smile: "Ziyu and Shilin, they are really loyal, fair, and not selfish. ”

"Then let's do it, but before I do that, I'd like to make some changes, and the two of you will help me think about it."

"My lord, please give me." The two of them bowed at the same time.

Ling Feng thought for a while, picked up a small notebook on the desk, and said, "I checked, now our strength has reached 560,000, plus the county soldiers from all over Kaiyuan, there are 600,000!" ”

"Then there are the three northern counties, Liu Qing has 100,000 troops in his hands, and after recovering Qingliang and Qiang counties, he has expanded by 50,000, plus the county soldiers from all over the country and Jiang Yiyuan's 130,000 prisoners, the strength of the three northern counties has also reached 330,000!"

"Think about it, what is the 600,000 plus 330,000? It's almost a million, this number is very terrifying, how much food do you need a day? How much money do I need? Don't say it's my little King Qin, even if it's the imperial court, the public can't afford it, and after a long time, it will definitely be beyond its means, so.... ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Shilin interjected: "The lord wants to lay off employees? Reduce the number of soldiers and keep only their elite? ”

"Not bad!" Ling Feng replied with great certainty: "Recruits who don't know how to fight, what are you keeping for?" I only know how to eat, so I'm ready to.... ”

"My lord." Suddenly, Han Ziyu arched his hand and said.

Hey, Ling Feng frowned and said, "Ziyu, why not?" ”

Han Ziyu said: "Lord, now that we are the strongest, I feel that we should take this opportunity to do more things, such as pacifying the northern Xinjiang, the lord can only really sit back and relax if he really controls the three northern counties, otherwise everything is just a bubble now." ”

The so-called bubbler is that as soon as the wind blows, there is no more.

Ling Feng was speechless, he knew that Han Ziyu was still thinking about the matter of envoy Huaijun, and wanted to persuade Jiang Yiyuan to withdraw from the northern frontier with his incorruptible tongue, but Ling Feng felt that this matter was extremely unreliable, and he would not let Han Ziyu take this risk.

Ling Feng said: "Ziyu, let me tell you directly, I don't have 300,000 loads of military rations, let alone 300,000 taels of gold, don't think about it." ”

"Hehe, the lord laughed, although we have a lot of soldiers and horses, and we use a lot of money, but it's only a few hundred thousand taels, let's take it out, as far as I know, just Bai Ku there, the lord can get this number, as well as Zhang Shilin, Liu Hai, and the three northern counties, this is all trivial."

Han Ziyu said with a smile.

If you want to calculate it like this, it is indeed trivial, but how does Han Ziyu know that these so-called money and food are all account books on paper, they are all illusory, in fact, there are not so many in the warehouse, and most of them are going to make shadows.

The three northern counties can't get it at all, if it weren't for Zhang Guozhong and other big families to support, it is estimated that the three northern counties would be difficult to even pay their military salaries.

The only thing left is Kaiyuan, although Kaiyuan is rich, and he has indeed collected a lot of money and food after attacking Bai Ku and Zhang Shilin, etc., but all this money and grain have a provenance, to raise an army of hundreds of thousands, to help the victims, to build all kinds of armor equipment, and Ling An, who is asking for silver every day, where can Ling Feng get it, not to mention now, even if there is another million, I am afraid it will not be enough.

Therefore, for what Han Ziyu was planning, Ling Feng didn't want to support it too much.

"Strategist, you don't know, money is very useful, and we have to do a lot of things next, so I really can't come up with the money, if you have to insist, you might as well think of other ways."

Ling Feng said, "Okay, let's stop here." ”

"Based on the suggestions you have given, I have three orders for the matter at hand."

"First, gather all the soldiers in Kaiyuan, including the county soldiers from all over the country, and also gather them in the county town, about 600,000 people, and select them, roughly divided into third-class soldiers, and the first-class, elite soldiers, aged between eighteen and forty-five, and who have fought in battles, select 300,000 people, and these people will soon be assigned to the generals; The second class, called the soldiers, the number is set at 100,000, still the age is 18 to 45 years old, these 100,000 soldiers are responsible for garrisoning the counties, garrisoning critical places, or can escort grain, grass and equipment when fighting in the future, etc., belong to the logistics soldiers, the third class, for the tuntian soldiers, I am going to set up official fields, I have to find a way to take all the land owned by those big families, let the remaining 200,000 people go to farming, mining, want food, you have to be self-sufficient. ”

"This is the first order, the second order, will be selected 300,000 elite soldiers, as well as 100,000 soldiers, under the leadership of Bai Ku, daily training, all generals must learn a little, these 400,000 people, trained into elite soldiers who can fight tough battles. Of course, all parts of Kaiyuan could not be garrisoned without soldiers, so after a month of training, the 100,000 soldiers were distributed to various places, leaving only the 300,000 soldiers. ”

"Third, this third, I have to ask Zhang Shilin to serve as a military division, I will give you an important task, immediately set up a huge armor workshop, make every effort to build armor, the armor should be unified, all the white flags and white armor, as well as all kinds of siege equipment, as well as chariots, etc., what do you need, you can tell me directly, I will be a little, build the armor as quickly as possible, and let the soldiers look new."

The two of them got up at the same time and arched their hands, "No." ”

........

It didn't take long for Han Ziyu and Zhang Shilin to walk out of the mansion and come outside the mansion.

Outside the mansion, Liao Yun and the others were still waiting, and when they saw Han Ziyu walking out, they hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Han Ziyu shook his head and strode away, leaving Zhang Shilin behind.

Zhang Shilin smiled and said: "Generals, you go back first, the lord will issue a military order next, and then you will obey it, there is no need to gather around here, the lord is busy." ”

"This... Zhang Shilin, the division of troops is urgent, is there anything more urgent than this? ”

Han Yong asked. (To be continued.) )
