Section 435 Don't underestimate the enemy

Speaking of money, Liu An is full of confidence.

“I’ll see it.”

Liu An is very confident.

Historical records show that the mining volume of Shimiji Yinshan once reached one-third of the global silver production. Even if this data is false, it is only one-third of the global silver production on the entire Japanese island, which is enough to prove that Shimiji Yinshan is so huge.

What's more, my own steam engine has made new progress, and I can lift 200 kilograms of stones, which are already machinery that can be used when digging wells.

What is currently not bad is the improvement of the steel of the seal ring and cylinder. Liu An’s knowledge of mechanical structure has been provided, and what is further depended on the talent of the craftsmen.

Brigadier Kou's official document box cover: "Then keep it but not send it. As the Privy Councilor, I am the emperor's order to inspect it, so I plan to verify it myself and check it before reporting it."

Kou Zhun really has this power. Kou Zhun wrote a letter to Bianliang, saying that he had detained a document from Wadao and wanted to go to the spot to check it out to determine the authenticity of the document.

The fleet continued eastward and arrived at Huating Ship Shanghai.

When the sea ship went out to sea, Liu An and four others stood at the bow and looked around. The Song Dynasty Army no longer used military formations, but the navy was different. The navy believed that the formation map was very important, and the attributes of each ship determined the position of the ship in the formation map.

The vanguard ship is a high-speed, slender and light cruiser. There are only sixteen sailors in a boat. Their mission is to explore the way, patrol, and retreat directly to the main formation without fighting when encountering the enemy.

The leading one was the gunboat, the two wings were a fleet of gunboats and heavy armed warships, the center was the flagship, the rear was the cargo ship and the merchant fleet, and the final one was the light armed warship and small gunboats.

Eight hundred sea ships went out from Huating, and this scale occupies more than thirty square kilometers of sea surface on the sea surface.

Great and mighty.

During the day, the fleet relies on flags and lanterns at night.

Any ship, even if the captain of a merchant ship, is trained by the navy, and must be cared for by all the rules on the sea.

“Spectacular!”

Zhang Qixian wrote a poem about thousands of sails going out to sea on the spot.

Liu An's poems were actually of paramount quality, so he quickly praised them: "Zhang Gong is so literary. I think if my Navy Master of the Song Dynasty was dispatched, and the sea was 100 miles away, Zhang Gong would definitely write another poem."

Hahaha!

Zhang Qixian laughed heartily.

The sea navy of the Song Dynasty was an absolutely invincible existence at this time.

Li Feng looked silent: "When I was replenishing supplies in Hangzhou, I heard from the sailors that they encountered the fleet of Tianzhu when they were in the ocean, and some conflicts occurred. Although I won, I was a little worried."

Zhang Qixian pointed to the fleet: "They have the mighty power of going out to sea."

"I'm afraid there are." Li Geng sighed slightly: "I have read some miscellaneous books, and it has also been passed from Dali. It only says that there is a Liuli Kingdom in the southwest of Dali. Its king has 10,000 troops and the strongest elite troops are elite elephant soldiers composed of 36 million giant elephants."

Ten thousand, ten million people are 100 million.

Liu An sneered.

Li Han looked at Liu An: "Don't underestimate the enemy. There is another book that records that it seems to be called Brahma or Havado. It was introduced to the Central Plains during the Tang Dynasty. It recorded that the two kings of India fought for several years. The two sides suffered a total of 160,000 soldiers. A country with so many troops must be a strong country. Don't underestimate the enemy."

"Hahaha." Liu An laughed loudly: "They really dare to write. At this time, the total population of the whole world is only 300 million to 40 million. My Song Dynasty has about 100 million people. They went there to die in battle of 160 million."

"Anyway, don't underestimate the enemy." Li Heng still warned very seriously.

Liu An put away his laughter: "Absolutely not. The philosophy of our Song army is to despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically. Any strong enemy must kneel down in front of our invincible Great Song warship."

"That's good. In short, you should be more cautious when you are in a high position and be an example of every word and action. Every order may affect the lives of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands."

"Yes, Liu An remembers it."

This is true. Although Liu An knew that some of the so-called Shibiao was outrageous and could be the level of a bull's hair, he could not prove it.

Moreover, Li Yan's advice is not unreasonable. Every order of a person in a high position is related to the life and death of countless people.

So being cautious is correct.

Li Han said again: "Before leaving Bianliang, I wrote a letter to the official family, intending to follow the example of the ancestors. The ancestors of all dynasties have made plans for the country, such as those who do not marry at the age of 18 and those who do not marry at the age of 20 will increase taxes and will no longer be exempted from agricultural taxes. The tax will be doubled in one year, and then after the age of 24, the tax will be increased by three taxes a year."

Liu An was stunned.

What is this tax?

Is it called the single dog tax? Is there anyone so cruel?

But Kou Zhun agreed very much: "It's good that my Song Dynasty is prosperous, so I need to increase the population a little more. Qu Yue needs to immigrate at least 200,000 to 400,000 households. Changbai Mountain area also needs to immigrate at least 100,000 households, and Goryeo also needs 500,000 households. I have seen the map of Temasek, which is very important. 100,000 households are necessary."

Kou Zhun's words mean that the Song Dynasty needs population.

Liu An calculated silently in his mind that if he didn't marry at the age of 18, he would have to pay at least more than 100 big money a year. If he hadn't married yet, he would have to pay 500 big money a year.

This tax is very heavy.

Single dogs are so pitiful.

Zhang Qixian added: "Another one should be added. His parents who were not married at the age of 20 were given labor for fifteen days. Couples who were not born at the age of 20 were treated for free. If they were not sick, they would be fined a tax of one cent."

Liu An was about to curse, which was too much.

This is going to be the one who has changed his previous life, and the leftover women probably have died of crying in the bathroom.

But before Liu An could speak, Kou Zhun said, "Yes, this one can be added. Of course, there must be a reward if there is a penalty, so when it comes to exempting agricultural tax, the number of land for the family can be exempted from the number of children, and half of the daughters are given birth."

Liu An spoke, just a slander, with a kind of resentment: "It would be better to add the terms of a hero mother, give money, give food, and then erect a monument if you have more children."

"Okay, a clever plan." Zhang Qixian slapped his thigh hard: "A clever plan, if you give birth to five children, you will get rewards. If you have successful children, whether you make meritorious contributions in the army or have the imperial examination, you will erect a monument if you have a reputation as a craftsman."

"Yes, this plan is very good." Li Heng also expressed support.

Liu An was silent. He either made a suggestion or just complaining and said something slander.
