Zhao Shen could only get up regretfully and leave with Fu Tinghan.

Seeing that Zhao Shen was still addicted to it, Fu Tinghan persuaded him, "If Cousin Shen likes divination, it's okay to calculate it occasionally, but you shouldn't rely too much on divination." Heaven and earth may really have a will to tell us something, but I believe that human beings can change many things. ”

"Otherwise, if the numerology can't be changed, can a person who should be rich and noble still maintain the wealth he calculates after knowing his numerology?" Fu Tinghan said: "So divination, you can make some references, but it shouldn't be regarded as a fixed result." ”

He said, "You attach too much importance to the art of immortals. ”

Zhao Shen thought for a moment, "Master Guo said that you are more talented than me, maybe it is here?" Am I really going astray? ”

He pondered all the way, and when he was about to walk out of the imperial city, he heard a fierce quarrel in front of him, "If you want to disarm, step on me, the general can't cross the river and tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey!" ”

Zhao Shen raised his head suddenly, and Fu Tinghan also frowned and looked over.

Seeing the person who was still pulling in front of him, the corners of Zhao Shen's mouth curled, and he stepped forward to greet him hypocritically, "It turned out to be General Mi and Qiao Junshou." ”

Mi Ce and Qiao Jin turned around and saw Zhao Shen, their faces were not very good-looking, and when they saw Fu Tinghan behind him, they reluctantly restrained their anger and stepped forward to salute, "Fu Shangshu, Zhao Shilang." ”

Zhao Shen returned the salute, and Fu Tinghan frowned at them, "If you have any objections to the general's decision, you should also go to the main hall to find her, why are you arguing here?" ”

Zhao Shen smiled and said, "Where do you need to go to the general for such a trivial matter?" I know about Qiao Junshou and General Mi's entry into Beijing to report on their work, and I also know about disarmament. ”

Mi Ce couldn't help but look angry, "It turned out that Zhao Shilang mentioned it, I don't know why the two of us offended Zhao Shilang, so that Zhao Shilang wanted to dismiss the garrison of me and Qiao Junshou." ”

"Speaking of disarmament, in fact, it should be called returning the soldiers to the people," Zhao Shen said: "I have done a survey, and now the soldiers in the army, those over 30 years old account for 50 out of 7, and the physical strength of soldiers at this age has begun to decline, not to mention those over 40 years old, among which there is a high proportion of wounded soldiers and remnants. ”

"General Mi, Qiao County Guard, you are not only a general, but also a local county guard, you should know how many soldiers there are and how many people there are now, right?" Zhao Shen said: "Yuzhou is already stable and prosperous in other states, but there are still more soldiers than people, and half of the young people between the ages of sixteen and thirty-five are in the army. ”

"The general asked us to tuntian, the soldiers are the people, the people are the soldiers, what's abnormal?" Mitzer said: "Disarm now, what if there is another war in the future?" Zhao Shilang has only fought a few battles, how dare he say that he is raising soldiers in front of us? ”

Qiao Jun said: "In short, I don't cut, my brothers are injured and disabled in the war, and now they will be cut off if they are useless, this is to cross the river and tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey!" ”

Zhao Shen sneered: "Qiao Junshou doesn't have to be so sarcastic, you are reluctant to disarm, do you feel sorry for the soldiers, or are you reluctant to give up these manpower?" Those wounded and disabled soldiers are disabled, but they still have to make cattle and horses for you, for the soldiers, whether the court disarmament is to unload the mill and kill the donkey, or to save them from fire and water, ask them if they are willing to return to their hometown. ”

"You, Zhao Shilang thinks that disarmament is so good, why don't you Zhao Jiajun cut it?"

"Who said that Zhao Jiajun will not be laid off?" Zhao Shen snorted and said, "The Zhao family's military cutters are no less than you. ”

Qiao Junshou was surprised, with a look of disbelief.

Zhao Shen stretched out his hand and grabbed them and said, "Don't believe it? Then we'll ask the general now. ”

Zhao Hanzhang was discussing with Ji Yuan, and when he saw Zhao Shen dragging Qiao Jin and Mi Ce over, he said to Ji Yuan: "The matter of the mutual market will be handed over to Mr." ”

Ji Yuan also glanced at the four people who came in, nodded in response, got up and retreated, and dragged Fu Tinghan out as he left.

Fu Tinghan looked at Zhao Hanzhang from the time he entered the house to the time he was taken out, and he didn't have time to say a word.

Ji Yuan pulled him to the door and said with a smile: "Fu Shangshu came just in time, I was about to discuss the matter of mutual markets with you, let's go, let's go." ”

Zhao Hanzhang seemed to have expected them to come, and after they had saluted, he said without waiting for them to speak: "Sit down, I have a copy of the data here for you to see." ”

Zhao Hanzhang gestured to Zhao Yunxin.

Zhao Yunxin immediately took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to Mi Ce and Qiao Jin.

"This is the number of households, the number of people and the number of garrisons in each county in Yuzhou, as well as the approximate age statistics."

Mi Ce and Qiao Jin saw that the list above was particularly detailed, and there was even a row of column-like graphic representations, and they couldn't help but shudder and wonder, "The general didn't order the county government to count the population, how did these come about?" ”

You won't just talk about nonsense in order to disarm them, will you?

Zhao Hanzhang said: "In the past three years, the counties of Yuzhou have redistributed land and collected displaced people, and their origins, ages, families and last places of settlement are recorded. ”

"In the battle to defend the country last year, Yuzhou levied military taxes twice, and there are data on oral taxes and land rents, won't the population come out after calculating it?" Zhao Hanzhang said: "And the number of tuntians of the garrisons in Yuzhou, the consumption of military salaries, grain and grass must be reported to the military department, although it is a little troublesome to check their age and physical condition, but it is not impossible to check." ”

Mi Ce and Qiao Jin thought of Fu Tinghan at the same time, who was a person who could calculate the approximate number of their soldiers by scanning the consumption of grain and grass.

They don't understand those messy algorithms, but they ...... If he did, he might have figured it out.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Zhao Hanzhang smiled, "I know what you are worried about, but this disarmament is not aimed at the Qiao family army and the Mi family army, and the Zhao family army will only have more soldiers to be eliminated than you." ”

That's because you Zhao family soldiers are the best at all, right?

Zhao Hanzhang said: "I say this not because the Zhao family army has the largest number of people, but because the disarmament rate of the Zhao family army will be higher than that of your two armies." ”

Mi Ce and Qiao Jin mentioned their hearts, but they didn't say anything, how did Zhao Hanzhang know what they were thinking?

"The data is here, you have also seen, now the population of Yuzhou is only 1.28 million, and there are as many as 480,000 soldiers," Zhao Hanzhang said: "In the past, we recruited soldiers to quell the chaos, and they joined the army to survive, but now, the chaos in the Central Plains has calmed down, and they should return to the fields, let them be back people, marry wives and have children, and settle down and work." ”

"Otherwise, do you really want to let the 1.28 million population feed another 480,000 soldiers in addition to themselves?"

Mi Ce became short of breath, glanced at Qiao Jin, gritted his teeth and asked, "Is it only Yuzhou that is disarmed, or are other states also abolished?" ”

See you tomorrow
