"Lord Wang, the autumn tax collection work for this autumn harvest has been fully completed half a month ago.

Compared with the spring tax, the population of Nanli County has doubled, and the land reclaimed has more than doubled, so compared with the last tax collection, the autumn grain has more than doubled, about 46 million stone grain.

According to statistics, the land of the whole army in Woye County, which is under the command of the new income, is about 1.5 times that of Nanli County, that is, about 450,000 hectares.

The situation there is similar to the beginning of Nanli County, where less than half of the arable land in the county is grown with food, and many places have been affected by our war with the poison country.

Coupled with the deliberate damage before the retreat of the poison army, this season is now only about half of the harvest at the beginning of Nanli County.

According to statistics, the autumn tax of Woye County collected a total of 12,930,000 stone of grain.

The grain output of Yunzhou County is much less than that of the two affiliated counties, and the arable land of the entire Yunzhou County is only about 2 million mu near the Liaoyun Pass, that is, about 20,000 hectares, and due to the soil quality, the output of one mu of land will not exceed 150 catties.

The grain tax in Yunzhou County is set very low, and it is only one percent, and Yunzhou County only has two crops of grain a year, spring wheat and winter wheat.

Now in the autumn harvest quarter, the grain tax revenue of the entire Yunzhou County is only about 30,000 stones.

The total grain tax of the three counties amounted to 59,960,000 stones, about 60 million stones. ”

Compared with the vast arable area of Nanli County and Woye County, Yunzhou County has very little arable area, and it is not even a fraction of that of the two counties.

With such a small amount of land, the people of Yunzhou County have very little land, except for a few, most of the people only have about two to three acres of land to cultivate.

If it weren't for the fact that Yunzhou County had already been transformed into an industrial county, most of the people in the county would have relied on other industries for their livelihood, and the land would not have been enough to support themselves.

Before Yunzhou County has been in a state of food shortage, relying on the four major families to buy grain from the Guannei, after the fall of the four major families, the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce from the Guannai continued to buy grain back to sell, basically all of them were sold at a loss.

It wasn't until the expeditionary force took Nanli County that the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce stopped this kind of business that could be said to be a loss, and transferred to Yunzhou County, where Nanli County transported grain, to fill the food gap in Yunzhou County.

Therefore, when he heard that the autumn grain tax in Yunzhou County was only 30,000 stones, Zhao Jun was not surprised at all, and he was already very satisfied with 30,000 stones.

After all, when I first came, I didn't even have 30,000 stones, don't look at the current Yunzhou County can have 150 catties of one acre of land, I feel that it is less.

You must know that when Zhao Jun first came, the average yield of arable land in the entire Yunzhou County was only less than 100 catties! More than 90 pounds!

An acre of land only produces less than 100 catties of grain, what is this concept?

This is the rhythm of the whole family to eat soil!

But there is a reason for this, as soon as Yunzhou County is located, the land is not fertile, and it can even be said that it is barren, and the grain does not get the nutrients it deserves, and the natural yield is not high.

In addition, Yunzhou County was originally very short of iron tools, and many people's plows and farm tools used at home were also made of wood, and it was far away from the city, so it was inconvenient to go back and forth and not enough fertilizer, so it was understandable that the yield of one acre of land was so low.

After listening to Li Yi's report on grain taxes, Zhao Jun nodded and said, "The output of nearly 60 million stone grains is enough for me in Yunzhou County."

There are even superfluous.

Nowadays, Yunzhou County does not have so many granaries for storing grain, and the county guard government should come up with a plan for the storage and disposal of excess grain as soon as possible, so that the hard-earned grain cannot be wasted. ”

After hearing this, Li Yi nodded and reassured:

"Don't worry, the prince has already discussed this point at the meeting half a month ago, and the county guard has decided to set up twenty large granaries with a length of 1,140 meters from east to west, a width of 355 meters from north to south, and a wall thickness of about 3 meters in the three counties of Yunzhou County, Nanli County and Woye County.

It is estimated that each granary can store about 3.5 million stone of grain.

In addition to the daily consumption needs of the three counties, it is more than enough to store the surplus grain and even the following year.

It's just that it's too late for this season, and in addition to the retained ones and a certain amount of reserves, the rest of the county guards plan to sell them to Kannai through channels.

In this regard, Feiyun Commercial Bank may need to cooperate, and the Yunzhou County Government does not have such a huge sales channel. ”

Zhao Jun immediately agreed: "I will instruct Yunli to cooperate with your work, I think the construction of the granary is still too conservative, with the current strength of our Yunzhou County, it is only a matter of time before we expand the territory again, and the body poison is not our opponent at all."

And after plundering the population of Liaodong County before, this king roughly estimated that the population of the Song people in our Yunzhou County has exceeded two million, right? ”

Li Yi nodded and replied: "The prince is right, according to the latest statistics of the county guard, there are nearly 2.2 million Song people registered in Yunzhou County, of which there are 1 million people involved in all walks of life in Yunzhou County, and nearly 1.2 million agricultural people in Nanli County and those who have only recently migrated to Woye County.

In addition, there are about 300,000 people who have been transferred to the military, including military families.

The total population of the Song people in Yunzhou has reached 2.5 million. ”

Zhao Jun was stunned and said slowly: "Two and a half million people, even if the army is formed according to the number of one out of ten, my Yunzhou County can form nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses."

With the current 200,000 guards, the number of guards alone can reach 230,000, in addition to the nearly 50,000 coerced servants on the naturalized Tatar side, and the local security servants composed of indigenous people in all parts of Nanli County, which are as high as nearly 500,000.

The total strength of my Yunzhou County has reached nearly 800,000! ”

At this time, Li Yi hurriedly said helplessly:

"Lord Wang, the combat strength of the 500,000 people in the poisonous servant army is equivalent to 10,000 or 20,000 guards at most, and they can only do ordinary law and order maintenance tasks, let them go to the battlefield, I am afraid that tens of thousands of elite troops on the opposite side can break up their rabble."

Zhao Jun waved his hand and said:

"It's okay, after all, the number is there, and it won't be them who will be the main attacker.

The commanders of the front line are not stupid, they will only use them as cannon fodder.

And isn't our opponent also a poisoner?

They have our support, and their combat effectiveness is a little stronger than that of the other side, and they can't beat the strong, but it's still okay to bully the weak.

Moreover, they are numerous, and they can maintain our rule in the local area very well, but they must control the leaders of these poisonous servant armies, otherwise they will not only not be able to help us, but will also very likely become our trouble. ”

Li Yi nodded solemnly:

"Lord Wang, don't worry, we all understand this, we have never relaxed our vigilance against the poisonous servant army for a moment, and we will never let them threaten us."

"That's okay, there are so many people, our current territory is far from enough, even if it is enough now, but in the case of sufficient food, the population explosion is extremely fast, so even for the sake of our descendants, we must occupy more land.

I think you should be aware of the desire for land in the army, right? ”

Li Yi's face became extremely solemn at this time: "When the prince said this, the lower official wanted to remind the prince, and the lower official thought that this kind of atmosphere in the army was very dangerous now.

It is a good thing that the military wants to expand its territory, but the unlimited thirst for land without limits will bury huge hidden dangers.

Although the population of Yunzhou County has been replenished, it is still limited, and it is extremely reluctant to occupy the land of the three counties now, if the military continues to expand without restrictions, even if they can defeat it, we have no one to defend it, and we cannot control it. ”

Zhao Jun sighed and said helplessly: "This king also knows that after all, our foundation is too shallow, but this kind of atmosphere in the army has been formed, how easy is it to curb it?" ”

Li Yi immediately said: "Lord Wang, the lower officials are here to say a heartfelt word, it is not that the lower officials are deliberately hostile to military generals as civilian officials, but that a qualified political system should be able to firmly hold the army in their hands, and the army must only have one thought, that is, the mind of the person in control, and not their own mind.

Otherwise, this is a very dangerous thing, and it is difficult to start restricting it now, but it will be even more difficult if it is delayed.

In order to avoid greater trouble in the future, Xia Guan feels that it is necessary for you to set restrictions on the army from now on.

This is the advice of the minister, please consider it carefully! ”

After listening to Li Yi's words, Zhao Jun fell into deep thought.
