See you in the picture!
The things put forward before and after the equation are scattered a lot, without being summarized and organized, like pearls falling in the mud.
How to string these pearls together depends entirely on the person who picked them up.
The empress picked it up and strung the things together.
This sequence... maybe the equations are not what I thought, but the result... it's dawn.
Landi is a sword and a force. He will maintain the Wu Dynasty's consistent toughness. Regardless of success or failure, it will greatly weaken the prestige of the Wanyan family and the Jurchens. After success, he can even beat Wanyan Agu's body. Divinity torn.
No matter the outcome, it will be good for Wu Dynasty.
Maple syrup, milk powder, and butter are safe, and the roof has been lifted, and the number can open the window by itself.
"Nowadays, most of the smuggling at the border is cloth and handicrafts. Only a few can transport rice, tea, and iron can't be seen!"
"When such a situation arises, each dynasty prohibits it on the surface, but the internal benefits are still not enough. We can't afford the price, and they can't sell it at a high price, so no one does it. I can understand this!"
The empress looked around at everyone. They were all the specific controllers of various forces. They were also the leaders of smuggling groups in various places. The total value of the items smuggled by these people every year was close to 10 million taels.
Of course, the value is not pure profit, it is only 20 to 30% at most, but it is not less.
"I mentioned these products before. I can promise you that, except for birch syrup, they will not be circulated in the market within three years. As for what I want, I believe you also know it!"
The purpose of smuggling is to make money. Whatever is valuable or rare, they will transport it!
The Wu Dynasty could acquiesce in the smuggling activities of all parties in order to break the blockade of the Central Plains on the Wu Dynasty.
There is tacit approval from above, and feedback from below. This feedback is rice grain.
Transportation of rice grains and transshipment through canals are time-consuming and laborious, and the cost of walking through mountain trails and dense trails in the forest is unknown. There is no other cargo to supplement it. It would be crazy not to lose money in one trip.
Now the empress has added another hand, exchanging sugar for tea and sugar for iron, just to satisfy domestic consumption.
After a brief silence, the empress smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, please share the syrup!"
People need to lose face, smuggling cannot be brought to the table, just stop at it. At this moment, no one stands up to oppose, which means that they agree. I believe that soon all the forces will be in operation.
"It's finally my turn. The Ministry of Industry has completed the verification of the syrup process. Before leaving Beijing, each family can just take one and go!" One liter of birch syrup, fifteen liters of fresh birch sap can make one liter of birch syrup!”
"Mr. Xia, are you right?"
"Fifteen to one? Do you really think I don't know how the Kulun people brew birch syrup?"
"How many days can he keep this proportion of syrup?"
The people below cannot drink the tribute from the Kulun tribe. They are just not used to drinking it. It’s not that they don’t understand how birch syrup comes from.
In order to pay tribute, the Kulun people consume hundreds of liters of birch syrup for every liter of tribute syrup, just like the tribute sent to the palace. Behind every liter of fine product, they consume several acres of birch forest land.
Now Xia Abacus tells them that the ratio of syrup they just drank is only fifteen to one. Isn't this a joke?
"The process is given in the equation, and the slow cooking method is used. The yield is extremely high. The Cullen people make this firstly to drink for themselves, and secondly to give it as gifts. The time and energy it takes is naturally different. As for the storage time, the syrup is basically It’s not just for ordinary people!”
After a pause, Old Man Xia sneered, "If this syrup is to be supplied to ordinary people, does it still need to be smuggled?"
"Lao Xia, you are so dark!"
"There's no way to make money. It's just a matter of messing with people's mentality. Don't you want to control the amount?"
“It’s acceptable to control the quantity, but the key is to be able to make money!”
The royal family and the court are willing to take them to make money, make big money, of course they are happy
"The quantity will not be controlled within three years. You can discuss this among yourselves. However, each family must use 30% of its output. Of these 30%, 10% will flow into the country and 20% will be used as military supplies!"
Sugar is not among the seven things you need to do to open the door, but it is a military necessity. Like wine, it has the effect of soothing people and resisting the cold.
In order to ensure the supply of sugar at the border before the winter break, the officials of the six ministries had no idea how much hair they had to cut off. Now the equation solves this problem from the root, and the target of the cut can naturally be passed on to the producers.
"Three years later?"
"Three years are enough for you to develop, open up channels, and seize the opportunity!" Old Man Xia quickly recovered, "Birch trees are different from sugar cane. Sugar cane comes only one season a year. If you have enough manpower, you can plant and produce every year, thus ensuring the output. Our territory There are a lot of birch trees, but if they die, you have to wait ten years. I think you all know it after a meal or a full meal!"
"Of course it's best to have a full meal!"
"It seems that we have to learn to plant trees next. If many trees die, will the Kuron people still be able to rebel?"
"We should limit production and leave some for future generations!"
All the elders nodded one after another.
Wool can be harvested from time to time, and the same goes for extracting sap from birch trees. If you extract too much in spring and summer, it will be difficult for the tree to survive the next winter. There may seem to be a lot of birch forests in the Wu Dynasty, but the amount that can be extracted in a year is limited.
"The purpose of three years is to measure a relative value. Once the value is obtained, the Ministry of Household Affairs will issue sugar stamps and use the sugar stamps to limit the output of each party. If you want to be more productive, go back and plant your own trees!"
After saying that, Old Man Xia turned around and stopped talking.
"Looks like it's finally my turn!" Da Sima said with a smile.
"There are currently three tentative lines of defense, the line from Yuyang to Guangchang, the Chinese army with 50,000 soldiers will gather at Zijin Pass, the right army with 30,000 people will attack Yuyang, and the left army with 40,000 people will attack the Great Wall line, totaling 120,000. They will be mobilized at the same time. In Yuyang, Shanggu, Fanyang, Daijun conquered 50,000 soldiers for logistics!"
"For the time being, Nian Run will be the commander-in-chief, He Chong will be the deputy commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief will be established in Juyong!"
With unified thinking, the benefits are given, and now it’s time to get down to business.
Under military merit, soldiers and generals are organized into systems and do not interfere with each other.
The third level of soldiers, warriors, sergeants, and captains, are promoted once every three years without military merit. After nine years, they are automatically discharged and go home, and the vacant spots are given to future generations.
When the war broke out, the government soldiers rushed out of the army, hundreds of households were in place, the sergeants served as small flags, and the captains held the main flag, forming the most basic combat unit.
There are six levels of generals, the highest is the total number of soldiers, the lowest is the lowest level of hundreds of households. There are deputy generals, generals, and guards, and the fourth level is the general.
The title of general and commander is awarded before a battle and is automatically withdrawn at the end of the war.
Therefore, every time a war occurs, after the strategy is formulated, the court will immediately select commanders, deputy positions and other positions from among the general soldiers from all walks of life, depending on individual circumstances, and organize the various military posts and military camps into three armies of the left, middle and right.
At this time, it is necessary to discuss who will go up and who will go down. After all, everyone has similar military achievements. The specific position depends on the background and the emperor's favor.
