There was a pre-Qin period, and the poem was called "Yu", and there was a sentence that everyone in the world knew.

What sentence?

Give him a peach and repay him a plum

Because it is a lost document, there is another saying, "Put it with a wood peach and repay it with Qiong Yao." Qiong Yao means fine wine. Of course, you have to misunderstand that Qiong Yao, and you can squat in the corner...

No matter which of these two lines of poetry is generally about helping you in time.

Tang Zheng finally has no shortage of food!

Twenty thousand stones, how terrifying a number?

How many kilograms was a stone in ancient times? It was about 50 kilograms in later generations. To put it bluntly, it was 100 kilograms, and the total number of 20,000 kilograms was 2 million kilograms.

And how many pounds can a large bull cart hold?

A thousand pounds are counted as a full pound!

The Wang family of Langya called forty large trucks and transported them continuously for half a month. Forty large trucks almost occupied the official road, and more than five hundred were lying back and forth.

The grain transported over was piled up like a hill.

It doesn’t matter, the Wang family in Langya is worthy of the level of aristocratic family. He directly sent out thousands of people to help Tang Zheng build two large granaries in Tangjiazhuang.

2 million kilograms of grain came in vain.

The head of the Wang family was Wang Kuangyun. Oh, now he is no longer the head of the Wang family, but a housekeeper in Tang Zheng's family.

Tang Zheng was originally worried, but the Wang family of Langya gave him only this requirement. If you want to get the food, you have to let Wang Kuangyun follow him.

This is not enough to agree.

The two large granaries were piled up, with a total of 2 million kilograms of grain, which could fully meet the needs of land reclamation.

Not only the purpose of clearing the land?

Refining land cannot consume so much food.

Although ancient people had a lot of appetite, an adult could only eat 600 kilograms a year, 60,000 kilograms of food per year, 2 million kilograms of food were enough for more than 3,000 people to eat for a year.

And it’s three meals a day, and every meal is guaranteed to be full.

...

On the evening of the day, everyone had just finished work, and a big pot was set up by the Yihe River. Dozens of peasant women were cooking and cooking hot porridge.

There was also a group of female workers transferred from the workshop, who were also busy in the camp and cooking area. These skillful little girls were making pancakes, and the whole river was filled with the rich aroma of pancakes.

Tang Zheng slowly wandered along the riverside, looking back at the side of the Yingcai from time to time.

He followed Wang Kuangyun step by step and acted as a butler as a low-key manner. As long as Tang Zheng didn't speak, Wang Kuangyun would never speak.

Tang Zheng suddenly sighed and said with emotion: "Now I know how great aristocratic families are. Strictly speaking, your Wang family in Langya is a family of decline. I didn't expect that you could still take out a large amount of food in the troubled times. Tsk, you only took 20,000 stones. You can only say that it is really amazing. No wonder everyone says that those who fight for the world will fight for the aristocratic families first. I really underestimated you before..."

Wang Kuangyun bowed and smiled and said, "Young Master may not know yet. My grandfather is going to give you 500,000 stones, and the grain will be placed in the Wang family's granary. You can use it anytime when you need it."

He looked at Tang Zheng at this point, hesitated for a moment and said, "Before I came, my grandfather once said, Langya Wang's granary is your granary. You don't have to be polite when you need it. You can go there anytime and then allocate it. At least 500,000 shi, you can write more if you are in a hurry."

"Five hundred thousand stones..."

Tang Zheng opened his mouth and suddenly laughed: "You are encouraging me to raise private soldiers in captivity."

Wang Kuangyun's eyes flashed and he whispered: "The aristocratic families also raise private soldiers, and the clan also raise private soldiers. What's wrong with you, young master, have the ambition to raise private soldiers in captivity? To be honest, the last time the grassland attacked me, Wang, did not dispatch all the private soldiers, and only used less than three out of ten cd."

Tang Zheng was slightly stunned and said in surprise: "You brought the three hundred soldiers into the county town last time."

Wang Kuangyun looked a little embarrassed and whispered: "The Wang clan has 3,000 soldiers in captivity for many years. Just raising soldiers has to bear 3,000 households."

The household is Ding. One Ding produces a soldier. One soldier has a family and a small family behind it. In a count, it can only cost at least four people.

This shows how terrifying the foundation of a family is. The Wang family of Langya has to bear the food and drink of tens of thousands of people just by raising soldiers.

Tang Zheng became silent.

Wang Kuangyun would never speak if he was not allowed to ask.

After a long time, Tang Zheng suddenly turned around and pointed to the riverside wasteland and said, "If this wasteland is fully opened, I will leave 3,500 mu of myself, and I can collect 7,000 stones of grain every year. In addition, the 6,500 mu of grain distributed to farmers, they can collect about 15,000 stones of grain. I will take half of the amount as tax, and I should get 750 stones of grain, which will add up to 7,750 stones..."

This is a headless and mindless statement, but Wang Kuangyun seemed to have calculated it and blurted out: "Seven thousand and seven hundred stones of food can support one thousand soldiers and all three meals."

Tang Zheng nodded, looked at the back mountain of Tangjiazhuang from afar, and said, "Twenty miles of barren mountain can create 50,000 acres of terraced fields, and another 50,000 fruit forests can be opened. How many people can eat and drink?"

Wang Kuangyun pondered for a moment and said, "The income from the fruit forest is slow and cannot be judged for a short time. 50,000 mu of terraced fields seem to be quite large, but the output of terraced fields is really poor."

Tang Zheng looked at him and smiled and said, "Is there any problem with raising five thousand soldiers?"

Wang Kuangyun thought for a long time and nodded slowly, "It should be OK, but it's a bit difficult. The young master should know that raising soldiers is not only to satisfy the food and drink of soldiers, but also to take on the family behind the soldiers."

Tang Zheng remained silent!

Wang Kuangyun's statement is indeed true, and it involves a common problem in raising soldiers in ancient times.

To raise soldiers, not only do you have to provide soldiers with three meals a day, but you also have to pay extra food to soldiers. This is the so-called monthly military pay, which is the only source for soldiers to support their families.

In ancient times, a family had a large population, and there were always five or six people, so the pressure on the military pay was actually followed by five or six people.

In other words, the supply of 5,000 elite soldiers cannot be calculated based on the population of 5,000, and the military food and salary must be at least 30,000.

There are quite a few terraces that have been opened in the barren mountains, but it is indeed a bit difficult to support 5,000 elite soldiers.

Tang Zheng slowly let out a breath and said, "I have a thousand soldiers now. After the riverside wasteland is opened, I can raise another two thousand. Then, counting the 50,000 acres of terraced fields in the barren mountains, it can also support about five thousand, which adds up to eight thousand soldiers..."

There are already a lot of eight thousand soldiers.

But Wang Kuangyun was still stunned for a moment, and vaguely heard something was wrong in Tang Zheng's tone.

He hurriedly said, "Young Master, your algorithm is purely derived from yourself. Why don't you also count the Wang family of Langya into it? My Wang family promises you that 500,000 stones of grain can be summoned at least 10,000 elite soldiers in your hands!"

500,000 stones of grain can satisfy 80,000 soldiers and eat and drink. However, considering that recruiting soldiers requires pay to support their families, each soldier is calculated based on the eight people in the family, so Wang Kuangyun said that 500,000 stones of grain can conscript 10,000 soldiers.

This is the plan to do it according to the elite soldiers.

In the chaotic world, someone will work hard to eat. If the soldiers pay to support their families, then the extremely loyal subordinates will soon become elite soldiers.

Yes, the elite soldiers in ancient times were so weird. If you had enough food to support your family, you would be able to satisfy two points.

The Wang family of Langya is really big. As soon as they take action, they have to help Tang Zheng recruit 10,000 soldiers, which means helping him support 10,000 households. Ten thousand households is an extraordinary number.

There was once a poem that said, "If you open your borders and expand your territory, you will be granted the title of marquis of ten thousand households. Ten thousand households means 10,000 households. Basically, those who can support 10,000 households are at the level of rank of ranks of ranks of ranks of ranks of ranks of ranks of ranks of ranks of ranks of ranks of ranks of ranks of rank

Tang Zheng let out a breath again and said, "I can only provide 8,000 yuan for you, Wang, but you, helped me provide 10,000 yuan. Why didn't you recruit soldiers and horses to take advantage of the situation and insist on giving away food for free and betting on me?"

Wang Kuangyun solemnly bowed and said bluntly: "We are afraid of death!"
