Everyone knows that the Liao people will have conspiracies, so.
Li Jilong asked again: "One hundred thousand combat troops and three hundred thousand transportation troops, if you don't use one army and one soldier in the Song Dynasty, can you take it out?"
Liu An replied: "Yes."
“Double.”
"able."
"Three times in total?"
"able."
Liu An’s three abilities surprised Li Jilong. Can Liu An not move one army and one soldier of the Song army and mobilize 300,000 combat troops and 900,000 transport troops?
This data is amazing.
You should know that Liu An’s Battle of Youzhou actually mobilized the troops of the Song army, which was 250,000 combat troops, and about 800,000 civilians were used for transportation.
Liu An continued: "If one soldier and one soldier in the Song Dynasty is not moved, the total number of combat troops I can mobilize, as long as the profit is sufficient, it can reach one million, and the transportation troops will be three million."
Li Jilong almost fainted, the data was too scary.
Liu An said: "If the Xizhou army is not talking about it, they can take out 300,000 troops. Dangxiang and Liugu, and 200,000 combat troops are not a problem. Next, the Goryeo people will give me another half a year, and I can gather 150,000 combat troops."
"It's still 350,000 left."
"I can turn all the Japanese into soldiers, and the rest into civilians. I don't even count the soldiers on the Indochina Peninsula. How could Qu Yue surrendered the army gather 100,000 combat troops?"
Li Jilong asked again: "Where is the money?"
Liu An was full of confidence: "A cannon fires, there will be ten thousand taels of gold."
Li Jilong didn't even ask about this because he didn't understand at all. Not to mention him, he didn't even understand Xiang Minzhong, who was proficient in math and in charge of the accountants of the Song Dynasty.
The only war that Liu An lost money was the Battle of Youzhou.
But if we calculate the six of the sixteen states of Yanyun, plus one-quarter of Youzhou City, and the opening of Song and Liao border cities, we will make a lot of money in the long-term interests.
In the battle of Lingzhou, Liu An made money.
In the Battle of Champa, Liu An made money.
In the battle against the Japanese, Liu An was more than just wealth, but great wealth.
The more you fight in war, you will get richer and richer, and there is no such thing in history, so Li Jilong does not intend to listen to Liu An talk about this matter here.
Actually, this principle is very simple.
The three most critical points of the war economy are: first, consumption, military consumption and military consumption, the premise is to win, lose money.
Then there is industrial value, which will promote the development of industry.
Take the Song Dynasty as an example. For the sake of war, the car manufacturing industry, steel industry, shipbuilding industry, textile industry, shoe manufacturing industry, pharmaceutical industry, etc. are all developing rapidly.
Finally, it is resource plunder.
The Van Yin Mountain is a living example.
The craftsmen at the Inner River Shipbuilding Floor in Bianliang have even increased their wages to twice as much as before Liu'anzhong, three times as high as those in the big craftsman, and five times as high as those in the big craftsman.
Then there is the blacksmith.
The blacksmith's value is getting higher and higher now. An excellent blacksmith, especially a blacksmith who knows how to learn mechanically, has a monthly income of a prefect.
Liu An stood up and said, "General, I'll go home, wait until noon the day after tomorrow."
"Yes, the dinner will be held the day after tomorrow. If you are timid, you will be placed at your own house. Otherwise, you will be placed in the place where Yelu Longqing lives with ingredients. He will not dare to kill you, nor will he even hurt you."
"clear."
Liu An stood up and said goodbye, but Li Jilong did not send Liu An.
Liu An still left through the back door and then returned home from his own home.
The next day.
On February 2nd, this day is a traditional farming day.
In the Song Dynasty, this day was also called the Farming Festival, and officials would have a day off.
On this day, the emperor sacrificed his sacrifice to heaven.
Gift.
The imperial edict was reported to the world.
Free agricultural tax!!!
This news is extremely confidential, which is what Kou Zhun means. After pronounced the emperor's sacrifice to heaven, 70% of the officials were confused.
Suddenly, the agricultural tax was exempted. Are the officials crazy?
But at this time, who dares to go forward to persuade him, and who dares to say that the emperor is exempt from agricultural tax when offering sacrifices to heaven.
No one.
This edict at the foot of Songshan Mountain spread faster than the strong wind, and began to radiate from all directions.
The emperor was very excited.
Another set of ceremony to worship the heavens was started. The emperor was full of energy. He had already planned to worship the heavens today, from sunrise to sunset.
As for whether the officials are tired or not, it is not within his consideration.
Speaking of Bianliang.
Liu An didn't care about sacrifices to heaven and exempting agricultural taxes at all. He was waiting for Kou Zhun's reply.
The news of agricultural tax exemption was sent back to Bianliang on the afternoon of February 2nd.
For the people of Bianliang City, every family has decorated their lights and decorated them, took out the New Year's clothes again, and took out the Lantern Festival lights again. Bianliang was brightly lit in the middle of the night.
Kou Zhun's reply was sent to Liu An's house only after the third day of the day.
Kou Zhun's letter was divided into three envelopes, one thicker than the other. Obviously, Kou Zhun finished writing one, but thought it was not enough, and wrote another one, but he still felt it was not enough, so he wrote another one.
Because there are numbers written on the cover, one, two, and three.
Liu An opened the envelope written with only one sentence: Help Your Highness Liang divide Liao into the north and south.
Li Jilong's thoughts were already crazy and scary, and Kou Zhun's thoughts were even scary. Kou Zhun usually mentioned that Yelu Longqing often used the two kings of the Liao Kingdom. He was the younger brother of the Emperor of Liao Kingdom and the second king.
The use of King Liang is a respectful title.
Then there was the second letter, and Kou Zhun planned to say a few words to Liu An.
Kou Zhun believed that Yelu Longqing planned to split the north and south of the Liao Kingdom and turn Liao into Southern Liao and Northern Liao.
The Southern Liao is a country with a complete Chinese system, and the Northern Liao is a complete nomadic and barbaric system.
The biggest reason for such a change is that Liu An’s Battle of Youzhou was defeated by Yelu Longqing. The failure was not terrible. What was terrible is that after he was defeated, he was unable to fight again, and he could no longer organize the next war.
Even if he barely collected enough military funds on the battlefield, Yelu Longqing could not find much chance of winning in his heart.
Therefore, Kou Zhun believed that Yelu Longqing planned to reorganize the Liao Kingdom, but after all, he was not the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, and he did not have the power to his mother, Empress Dowager Xiao. Since he had no choice, Yelu Longqing had the idea of ​​splitting the Liao Kingdom from north to south.
In the second letter, Kou Zhun analyzed his speculations on the internal contradictions and conflicts of the Liao Kingdom in detail.
Liu An could understand it, and to put it bluntly, the people who were sinicized in the Liao Kingdom could no longer live with the nomadic barbarians. The people who were sinicized preferred the Han-style life, and the people of the Southern Liao Dynasty were even more unwilling to pay for the great nobles of the Northern Liao Dynasty.
This contradiction is unadjustable.
After reading these two letters, Liu An took the thick third letter. Liu An said with a clear explanation of this matter, what will be written in the third letter? And it is so thick.
With curiosity, Liu An opened the third envelope.
There are even manuscript papers contained in the envelope, and there are a lot of changes, so it is obvious that Kou Zhun is also considering it.
Later, what Kou Zhun needs to modify the things he wrote is not to paint it off, but to draw a line next to the text, so that Liu An can guess whether it is correct or not.
Chapter completed!
