Chapter 392: News of Victory

Readx;?Top Recommendation:、、、、、、、

The war was officially declared over as millions of British GIs left in tears. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Poor British GIs thought they would be able to get an incomparably rich war capture under the leadership of their own monarch. But I don't want all this to come to naught because of the arrival of the allies. The huge casualties made more than a dozen British players heartbroken. The big guy's own strength itself is not very strong, and this time it is a heavy loss, and he has to worry about the trouble of the Beichen Army suddenly killing the border. All of this makes British players really don't know what to do.

Xiao Chen naturally ignored the idea of the British army. If you can let them go, they can feel content. This is also thanks to the good self-cultivation in recent years, if you put it in the past, you have to fight with John Bull, so you can be considered right. However, for those war captures, Xiao Chen still accidentally woke up with a smile at night.

800 million taels of silver, even if you give Xia Guo one or two hundred million, then you will make a lot of money. Beichen Kingdom's annual tax revenue is still 50 or 60 million, and it can't even reach 80 million taels of silver in the Song Dynasty. And this time the seizure is full of six or seven billion, it can be said that this war has earned ten years of taxes, this time Xun Yu has nothing to say.

After the end of the war, there are a lot of things that need to be arranged. After Xiao Chen discussed with Long Ye, the two reached an agreement. The 210 cities in the northern territory of the Kingdom of the Dead were annexed by the Xia Kingdom, and the rest of the cities were annexed by the Beichen Kingdom. At the same time, in order to make up for the loss of Xia Guo, Xiao Chen will pay 100 million taels of silver in addition to the 100 million taels of silver that Xia Guo should have gotten. For such conditions, Tatsuno has nothing to say. Although during the war, more than 10 million troops were killed by more than 3 million. However, 200 million taels of silver and more than 200 cities are already too much. The pension of three million soldiers is tens of millions of taels of silver, after all, it is impossible to get high in this era.

In contrast, Beichen is the biggest winner. Even if the Xia Kingdom was given 200 million taels of silver, all the captures of the Beichen Kingdom in this foreign war still reached nearly 800 million taels of silver. The battle losses of the Beichen Kingdom were much higher than those of the Xia Kingdom, and when they set out on the expedition at the beginning of the year, a total of four or five million elite soldiers, plus more than six million people. So far, the loss of elite soldiers has been as high as 1.8 million, and the number of civilians has been killed by 1.2 million. Of course, thanks to Guanyin Bodhisattva's big move, otherwise, just a few million disabled soldiers would be enough for Xia and Beichen to eat a pot.

The pension of more than 3 million soldiers has reached nearly 300 million taels of silver, which is much higher than that of the Xia Kingdom. This is also a matter of no choice, the military salary of the soldiers of Beichen Kingdom is much higher than that of Xia Kingdom. Moreover, Beichen's domestic pension regulations are calculated for five times the military salary of the fallen soldier during his lifetime, and a soldier's military salary for a year is more than a dozen taels of silver, and five years is dozens of taels, or even nearly a hundred taels. The pension of 300 million made Xiao Chen feel distressed, but Xun Yu would not think so.

After the war, Xiao Chen immediately sent a letter to Xun Yu, saying that the war was over, and the seized money was 800 million taels of silver. At the same time, the herald also brought over the military merit account and the roster of fallen soldiers. In order to let Xun Yu quickly gather people and count the pensions and war rewards.

The herald has been gone for three days, and it stands to reason that he is almost about to enter the territory of Beichen Kingdom. The army of the Xia Kingdom was also officially returned to China the day before yesterday, leaving only more than 7 million troops of the Beichen Kingdom in the land of bones.

The millions of armies were no longer stationed in the City of the Bones, and all the cities were stationed according to a set of domestic defense standards. The first line of the border is garrisoned by elite soldiers, while the militia is turned into a garrison and stationed in the second-tier cities. More than 200 cities divided an army of nearly 2 million. After the dispatch of the army is completed, it is planned to return to the DPRK. The City of Bones, the most important city, has 200,000 elite troops led by the general Hua Rong to garrison, cooperating with more than 2 million soldiers in the Land of Bones to consolidate the newly harvested territory of Beichen Kingdom.

The rest of the 5 million troops are officially returning to the DPRK and are expected to return to the capital in November!

——————————————

The enemy is not hateful, and the enemy is not the ball, and the hatred of the feather is secret

Under the scorching sun, Donglin City at noon looks golden and brilliant. The 30-meter-high city wall, coupled with the area of 100 miles, makes this capital city recognized as the number one power in the Beacon Fire Continent look like a giant beast lying in the east. The city wall facing west has a nine-sided palace gate, and the palace gate in the center is still tightly closed as usual. This gate is a gate that can only be used when the king, princess and the army go out to triumph, how solemn it is for the common people.

The other eight gates are non-central gates, and anyone can enter and exit these eight gates. In other words, if you are lucky, you may meet the ministers of the court here, and even the king under special circumstances.

Dense crowds shuttled back and forth between the city gates, and the population of Donglin City now has reached more than one million people all year round, plus the caravan people who come and go, in normal times, they are all about two million. The huge city gate, if it weren't for the management of a team of 100 elite soldiers, it is estimated that it would have been blocked long ago.

Just as these hundreds of people were entering and exiting the city gate, there was a sound of horses' hooves on the official road in the distance.

The guards on the city wall immediately became alert and fixed their eyes on the distance.

More than a dozen cavalrymen, all of them wearing the standing armor of the Beichen Army, made the guards breathe a sigh of relief. However, after more than a dozen cavalrymen wore a red golden dragon triangular flag on their backs, the guards were surprised again. Immediately, he immediately shouted towards the city gate below: "Open the crowd and evacuate the crowd, and the military situation will be urgent for eight hundred miles ahead!" ”

The soldiers below naturally heard the shouts of their comrades above, and they were all flustered, eight hundred miles in an emergency, this is not a trivial matter.

More than 100 soldiers immediately began to evacuate the crowd, but the speed of the cavalry was too fast, and it seemed that it was a little too late.

The art of far-reaching hatred is a secret trouble from the yang hatred

The enemy is far away, and the enemy is too good to fight the enemy

Looking at the people coming and going at the city gate in front, the soldiers on their horses couldn't help but show anxious expressions on their faces. However, even so, the speed of the war horse has not slowed down, and the emergency military situation of eight hundred miles is like this, even if it kills someone, it is the bad luck of that person.

The enemy is far away, and if he doesn't think about it enough to make the people in the capital have a sense of national honor, he can know how much Xiao Chen has paid for this. But the most important thing is that until now, the people in China who can have a sense of national honor are only concentrated in the capital, state and county towns, and there is no need to think about it in the county seats, villages and towns at all. This is also due to the fact that there are a large number of employment opportunities in the capital, state and county towns, and the wages are not bad. As a result, the student dolls have the opportunity to go to school, instead of being in their teens with their families in the fields or doing child labor for businesses.

"Disperse quickly~ Eight hundred miles of the front line is urgent!"

The shouts of more than 100 city gate guards made the people who entered and exited the city gate immediately panicked, and then immediately rushed towards both sides of the city gate. The guards at the city gate also hurriedly walked to the front, blocking the people on both sides of the city gate, and in the fastest time, cleared a road for the cavalry outside the city.

Looking at the galloping knights, many people became anxious. Eight hundred miles in a hurry, all ran to the city gate and did not shout some triumphant words, it is estimated that the front-line army has been defeated, and there is a great crisis.

Perhaps the herald was negligent for a while, and it was not until he passed through the city gate that he remembered and shouted: "The people in front of you are scattered quickly, and the information is urgent for eight hundred miles!" ”

The soldiers at the head were still shouting loudly, clearing the way for themselves and their comrades. And the dozen or so heralds behind him shouted in unison: "Great victory ahead, the king will return triumphantly in a few days!" ”

Sun Yuanyuan observed, I don't know how to do it

Sun Yuanyuan observed that the soldiers who were not familiar with the Gu Yuan technique were still shouting loudly, clearing the route for themselves and their comrades. And the dozen or so heralds behind him shouted in unison: "Great victory ahead, the king will return triumphantly in a few days!" ”

"Great victory ahead! The king will return triumphantly! ”

The words immediately made the people who heard it around cheer loudly, and it didn't take long for the people living in the entire Donglin City to know the news of the great victory ahead. Poor Xun Yu, as the prime minister, has not known about it as early as the ordinary people. Even many officials were told by the neighbors to each other, and they knew earlier than Xun Yu!

The news brought back by the herald made the more than one million people in the entire Donglin City fall into a cheering boom for a while. The greatest benefit of the kingdom's victory in foreign wars for ordinary people is that it can increase the sense of glory. Of course, this refers to the people who live in the capital, and the people in the rest of the country don't think so. The people who can live in the capital, even if they are not rich, then their life is a well-off life. Eating well, sleeping well, and being able to earn money every day already make them feel content. After being content in terms of consumption, the sense of honor of the country will slowly arise.

If the common people in a country do not even have enough to eat, it is nonsense to expect them to have a sense of national honor. You know, this is a feudal era. The greatest manifestation of the feudal era lies in the spread of knowledge. Even though Beichen began compulsory education a few years ago, the literacy rate still does not exceed 10 percent.

The enemy is hateful and ignorant of Fang Sun Zhi

Ten percent literacy, God, that's just literacy.

Of course, this is limited to children who have reached the age of eight. For the rest of the children under the age of eight, most parents still want their children to go to school. Therefore, although the education effect is not very good, Xiao Chen has indeed won the hearts of the people all over the world.

Now the literacy rate of the people living in the capital is higher, reaching about 40 percent. Of these, 20 percent is concentrated in the offices of the DPRK and central officials, followed by about 10 percent in the hands of merchants. The last 10 percent is what comes out of Lao Baixin. You must know that there are more than a dozen junior schools in the capital of Beichen alone, and then there are intermediate and senior schools, and then there are Taixue Martial Arts Academy, Vocational College, etc., I don't know how much.

Thinking about it enough to make the people in the capital have a sense of national honor, you can know how much Xiao Chen has paid for it. But the most important thing is that until now, the people in China who can have a sense of national honor are only concentrated in the capital, state and county towns, and there is no need to think about it in the county seats, villages and towns at all. This is also due to the fact that there are a large number of employment opportunities in the capital, state and county towns, and the wages are not bad. As a result, the student dolls have the opportunity to go to school, instead of being in their teens with their families in the fields or doing child labor for businesses.

Compulsory education sounds very good, and Xiao Chen also thinks that the state pays for school, so there should be many parents who send their children in. As a result, after the promotion continued, Xiao Chen cried with a sad face. Many families have little labor in the family, and those children after the age of eight need to help the family with farm work. And if you go to school, you will have one less laborer in the family, and you may not even be able to complete the farm work.

Of course, this is also limited to children who have reached the age of eight and above. For the rest of the children under the age of eight, most parents still want their children to go to school. Therefore, although the education effect is not very good, Xiao Chen has indeed won the hearts of the people all over the world.

A few years have passed, more and more children have gone to school, and most of them are very promising. Even the worst students have the ability to survive in society. With a little effort, you can still earn a lot of money for your family.

It is true that the people of Beichen Kingdom live very well. Under the situation of equal division of land, many people have their own land in their homes. The most important thing is that Xiao Chen's eyes have always been fixed on the land. Because of the policy of prohibiting the buying and selling of land, no one has taken the tiger's whiskers lightly until now. There is no forced buying and selling, there is no high land rent, and only 10 percent of the grain tax needs to be paid every year, which is too easy for the common people.

With land, there is more farm work at home, which is the main reason why many parents let their children help with farm work. Secondly, if there is more grain, the price of food will naturally drop, which Xiao Chen knows very well. Food can be said to be the most important material for a country, especially in the feudal era. As long as there is a low rise in food prices, it will immediately trigger an economic crisis. This is not alarmist, the grain production in ancient times was not high, even for the Beichen Kingdom, many people still need to buy food. In particular, those families who did not choose to work in agriculture mostly went into business. Merchants and officials are the big buyers of grain in the entire Beichen Kingdom, followed by the rich people with strong local assets who buy grain.

It's just that the number of people who buy grain is always a small number, and those who grow grain in the world still belong to the majority. Grain is more expensive and cheaper, this is a very common business principle. As soon as the price of grain falls, the price of the rest of the daily necessities rises, and it can be said that as soon as grain moves, it will involve the commercial economy of the entire country. Because of such things, the imperial court paid for the farmers. After all, with such a huge amount of food, only the country can eat it.

And these buy too much food, and it is very troublesome to hoard it. As a result, the war and foreign trade began, and food, an important material, was very popular in many places in the entire Beacon Continent, and finally did not make the imperial court lose a lot. Needless to say, the war against the realm of the undead. In just one year, 120 million stone of military rations were gone.

Sometimes, food is also part of the military pay, which is the same as cloth.

The herald carried Xiao Chen's letter, and finally met Xun Yu's face. And Xun Yu, after the letter, frowned for more than half a year, and finally completely relaxed.

800 million taels of silver, that's really exciting.

After a while, Xun Yu counted the money needed for the bereavement and reward, but even so, the imperial court still harvested 400 million taels of silver. There are too many things that can be done with 400 million taels of silver, and the more than 800 cities in the newly occupied country of the undead and more than 100 cities in the south also have funds to build roads and a series of infrastructure. At the same time, the money needed to resettle these newly occupied lands was secured.

And these don't need much money, 150 million taels of silver is enough. The remaining 300 million taels of silver can also be invested in the domestic foreign trade caravans, and continue to earn more silver.
