Chapter 154: Talking about political affairs, settling accounts, and recruiting new soldiers

Liu Wei was about to speak, but Dian Wei was a straight man, and he couldn't hide his words in his heart, so he shouted under Wu Anguo's prodding.

"Lord, we are also generals now, give more soldiers and horses, Lao Dian will be the first to enter Chang'an and screw off Dong Zhuo's head for you as a night pot."

"Ci is willing to work with Shanjun to capture Chang'an and kill all the thieves." Tai Shi Ci is not willing to lag behind, "The eldest husband was born in troubled times, and he should bring a three-foot sword to make immortal achievements. ”

Liu Wei looked at the people in the hall, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth, "How about we settle the account now?" ”

Dian Wei and Tai Shi Ci were shouting excitedly there, and as soon as they heard the reckoning, they immediately retracted their bodies, for fear of being pulled by the princess to settle the settling.

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, if you want to fight, of course, you must first settle the accounts." ”

Liu Wei agreed with Cheng Yu's words and said: "You have worked hard, then Feng will calculate it, what's wrong, you will come to the axe again?" ”

"Good, good, very good!" When Dian Wei heard that he didn't have to calculate it himself, he immediately agreed loudly.

Liu Wei took out a piece of paper, "This is the paper we made ourselves, this kind of paper has been able to be mass-produced, and it will be handed over to the Heroes Association for full sales." ”

Picking up the brush with his right hand, Liu Wei continued: "Calculate our output today, and calculate our input another day, and the details of income and expenditure can be seen at a glance, here is in a pound of gold, that is, 10,000 money." ”

So I heard Liu Wei's voice slowly sounding in the account, "If you count it as a year:

Each soldier's food consumption = 1.8 stones/month, 21.6 stones/year, or 4,220 yuan/year;

Salt consumption per soldier = 3 liters/month, 3.6 buckets/year, or 144 yuan/year.

Clothing per soldier = 3400 money/year

Each soldier lives on about 8,000 yuan a year. ”

"In other words, if we have 50,000 horses, the annual cost is 78,820 catties of gold!"

This value shocked everyone present, including Cheng Yu, Yuan Jian and others, and there were also surprised expressions on their faces.

"This is just the cost of the infantry, not counting the cavalry, an ordinary war horse is 100,000 yuan, and each war horse consumes grain = 3.3 stone / month, 39.6 stone / year, or 7920 yuan / year, which is much more expensive than a person."

Liu Wei didn't report the figures, but smiled helplessly: "This is not counting the value of armament equipment, not counting the cost of auxiliary soldiers and the cost of transportation." ”

Dian Wei couldn't help muttering, "Even if you give a mountain of gold, it's not enough to spend!" ”

"yes!" Liu Wei looked at everyone's face a little heavy, "Ordinary equipment is okay, but the crossbow is the most expensive in the equipment, crossbow = put \/10,000 money, crossbow arrow = branch \/9 money,

If you want us to form a crossbowman of 5,000 people, the crossbow alone will use up 5,000 catties of gold, not counting the spare and depreciation, and how many crossbow arrows will be shot out in a battle? And how much can be recycled? ”

"Lord, you can see from Qinghe County that the material for making crossbows, Huangyang wood, has no place to buy it if you have money." Cheng Yu's brows also furrowed.

I thought that I had made a little money, but after listening to the lord's calculations, everyone was ruined, and they were so poor that they only had this set on their bodies, Dian Wei had no choice but to close his big mouth, and his expression was so sad that he couldn't do it.

"Lord, give me some soldiers and horses!" Tai Shi Ci has never led soldiers, and now he is a colonel, he only feels extremely majestic, he originally wished that the more soldiers there were, the better, but seeing that the lord's finances were so difficult, his mood was greatly shocked, but he still couldn't help but ask for help.

Seeing that Dian Wei and Wu Anguo were also full of eagerness, only Zhao Yun's expression remained unchanged, Liu Wei was embarrassed for a long time, and finally talked about recruiting new recruits in the request.

"10,000 horses, more than enough to defend, not enough to develop." Hearing the lord say this, the hall suddenly fell silent, and the faces of several leading captains showed joy.

"Smash the pot and sell iron, we also have to add new soldiers!" Liu Wei changed the military system slightly, and did not take out the later group armies, columns, advance regiments, corps, and divisions, which were nothing more than different names, and the method of leading troops remained unchanged.

With 1,000 people as the qu, qu as the basic combat unit, 3,000 people as the battalion, and the battalion as the independent combat unit, the personnel are now dissatisfied, and the arms are not uniform, and Liu Wei is not prepared to implement a too strict military rank system.

Seven battalions were formed, three of which were veteran battalions and four were new battalions for conscription, and the veteran battalions were composed of cavalry, crossbowmen, and infantry.

Liu Wei took four words first. Wind, forest, fire, mountain. As a royal camp. Zhang Liao was in charge of the cavalry battalion, Gao Shun was in charge of the infantry battalion, and the crossbow battalion was temporarily handed over to Gao Shun to assist in the management.

"There are 3,000 people in a battalion, and it will be easy for 3,000 veterans to bring out tens of thousands of horses in the future." Liu Wei said.

As soon as they heard the lord say that he could have 3,000 people, Tai Shici and Dian Wei just had a smile on their faces, and they thought that this was an indicator of recruits, and now there was not a single shadow of recruits.

There is no money to recruit new soldiers, even if it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, no matter how harmful the generals are.

Dian Wei was in a hurry, and as soon as he rolled up his sleeves, he wanted to rush up to Liu Wei to ask for money, but fortunately, Tai Shici pulled him back.

Looking at Dian Wei's angry appearance, everyone in the hall laughed.

"Lord, give me some money." Tai Shici's resentful eyes were like a girl being molested by a group of men.

Seeing Tai Shi Ci and Dian Wei's expressions, Liu Wei couldn't help but smile: "We don't need money to recruit troops, do you want to compete?" ”

"Not comparable." The two brothers refused in unison.

Everyone knows that the lord's thoughts are unlimited, and Dian Wei and Tai Shici are convinced in this regard.

A smile rose on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth, "Then how about the recruitment fee of 1,000 catties of gold per person?" ”

As soon as they heard that they were rich, Dian Wei and Tai Shici's eyes suddenly lit up. said yes again and again, but I couldn't wait to pounce on Liu and kiss Liu.

"Feng and Wu Anguo are also the same standard." Liu Wei continued: "In this way, we have 12,000 recruits in Zhongshan County, and we can ...... after training."

Before Liu Wei's words fell, Dian Wei and Tai Shici jumped up happily, raised their arms and shouted, "Kill into Chang'an City, cut Dong Fatzi, the emperor will take turns to sit, and come to my house in the coming year." ”

Hearing Liu Bian's handsome case, the two saw the serious eyes of several old ministers, so they retracted their heads and obediently returned to the queue.

Dian Wei, who was excited, suddenly remembered something again, Tai Shici didn't hold it, and rushed out again.

"Shanjun, what else do you have to do?"

Liu Wei found that after Dian Wei became a family, his personality was much more active, and he was much cuter than his previous sullen appearance.

"Lord, you don't know how to train soldiers, so it's better to give me these 3,000 men...... No...... Give each of the three of us a thousand. ”

Many people laughed secretly in their hearts, this Dian Wei dared to say anything, and the clouds on the corners of his lord's mouth suddenly became dense.
