Think about Houjin. Isn’t it just a million people at this time?
There may not be even a hundred thousand Jurchens who can fight!
At this time, the population in the capital has reached one million. If Yongping Prefecture, Xuanhua Prefecture, and the two prefectures are captured, Han Xi will still have two million people under his rule.
That's much better than Hou Jin. As for the Ming Dynasty, there is nothing to worry about.
Thinking of this, Han Xi immediately waved his hand and said: "Commander Xun, I am giving you an army of 200,000, maybe to fight as far as the Yellow River?"
When Military Advisor Xun heard this, he immediately laughed and admonished: "Your Majesty, at this time we are also taking advantage of Hou Jin and natural disasters. Ming Dynasty still has some spare strength. It is not cost-effective to confront Ming Dynasty at this time. Moreover, we are in a hurry. I’m afraid the logistics won’t be able to keep up.”
"Hahaha! What the military advisor said makes sense. I am in a hurry. So, just do what the military advisor said!"
Han Xi smiled awkwardly. It was because he took it for granted, thinking that the person under his mouth could complete it.
But it would be good to capture the land of the three prefectures. By then, there will definitely be 100,000 hectares of fields.
When the land is cultivated, all potatoes, cabbage, and corn will be planted in rotation, and a 30% tax will be collected. That year we could collect 36 million taels.
Why!
But Han Xi soon became worried. If he collected 36 million taels, he would have to have hundreds of millions of taels of silver flowing in the market!
"The three of you go down to prepare first, while Military Advisor Xun stays behind," Han Xi said. There is a top strategist who was upgraded with hundreds of thousands of taels. If you don't need it, you can think of a hammer yourself.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Soon, the three general soldiers retreated.
Seeing the three people leaving, Han Xi said: "Military advisor, spring is about to begin, and spring plowing is coming soon. The tax has been set at 30%. The tax collected by then may be hundreds of millions of taels of silver. How to solve this problem?"
Military Advisor Xun knew what Han Xi was thinking, and then smiled and shook his head:
"Your Majesty, don't add to your troubles. Potatoes will certainly not be popularized all at once. Your Majesty, isn't Yichuan County also trying to induce them? This year, potatoes and corn can be planted in small quantities, but wheat and rice must still be planted mainly. "
After listening to Han Xi's words, Han Xi also sighed, knowing that he was impatient again, but then asked: "Do you think the military advisor can collect four million taels of silver field tax this year?"
Four million taels?
Military Advisor Xun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Your Majesty, let alone four million taels, even 400,000 taels is probably difficult."
Forehead?
Han Xi looked stunned. He didn't even have 400,000 yuan. How could this be possible? He had collected 100,000 silver in taxes in Yichuan.
Of course, that has something to do with Han Xi deliberately adjusting the price of wheat to four liang and one stone.
Seeing Han Xi's look of disbelief, Military Advisor Xun explained: "The fields in the capital stretch for dozens of miles and are barren, and most of the food is transported from Suzhou and Hangzhou. The city is mostly filled with craftsmen, coolies, merchants, nobles, and servants. The three mansions The land may not be able to raise 40,000 farmers.”
"Even if there are 40,000 households, each household can only cultivate 20,000 hectares of arable land with 50 acres of farmland. Wheat costs one stone and eight cents of silver. At the age of 30, one household can only earn more than 9 taels. Forty thousand households can only earn 30 taels. It’s only sixty thousand taels.”
Hiss~
Three hundred and sixty thousand taels? So how does this feed the millions of people in the city?
This little food is probably not just enough to feed an army of hundreds of thousands.
In this case, Han Xi might as well go back to Yichuan County to make money for one tael and one stone of potatoes, and he may not be able to make millions of taels of silver a year.
As if sensing Han Xi's worries, Military Advisor Xun said with a smile: "There are still many prisoners in the city. These people can be taken to military camps and planted with the king's high-yielding corn and potatoes. If we cultivate 5,000 hectares, we can feed more than two million people." ”
Hearing this, Han Xi scratched his head a little and found that he was so obsessed with thinking that he had forgotten that potatoes could be exchanged for wheat and rice.
Seeing that Han Xi seemed to have figured it out, Military Advisor Xun smiled again and said:
"Your Majesty, don't forget that at this time, there is a drought in Xuanfu. The price of rice is one tael per dou. If no grain comes in, the price will not come down. And I heard that the price of food in Yongping Prefecture has always been six cents per dou of silver. There are many articles about it. It can be done.”
Han Xi clapped his hands lightly and said, "Wonderful! Military Advisor Xun, my son-in-law."
"Hahaha! Your Majesty is ridiculous. The top priority is to defeat the Ming army and then recover all the prefectures and counties." Military Advisor Xun said with his hands in hand.
"The military advisor is right," Han Xi said with a smile. However, I soon discovered that I didn't seem to have much to do. Wen had military advisor Xun and Wu had three general soldiers.
Han Xi touched his chin and thought, how about getting a piece of land for planting?
Yes, my family is still in Ansai. What if the officers and soldiers get there?
Send someone back, or directly integrate Yichuan and Shuntian Prefecture, return to Yichuan and send someone back?
This should be carefully considered.
"My king still has something to do, so Military Advisor Xun should go and do it first."
With that said, Han Xi left the palace and walked to the harem.
After a while.
Han Xi arrived at a woman's boudoir. This was the room of a woman he liked better. She was a tall royal lady with a curvy figure.
And he's very good at getting things done.
The woman had been sent by Han Xi to get some food.
Han Xi lay on the bed, looked at the panel, and then chose to merge Yichuan and Jingshi.
[Whether to spend two million imperial coins to merge Yichuan and Shuntianfu]
Without hesitation, Han Xi had 36 million imperial coins in his system at this time.
If I go back to Yichuan County and farm for two years, I will be able to make my money back.
[10% in the merger of Yichuan and Sunchonfu]
[30% in the merger of Yichuan and Shuntianfu]
Han Xi sniffed the scent of rouge in the room and waited quietly for the combination of the two.
After a while, Yichuan disappeared, and a heart appeared next to the capital.
Click to open the interface.
City: Shuntianfu
Population: 1,151,002
Maximum troop strength: 150550/57550
Currency: 3,216,200 taels/silver
Popular support: 0
Food: 1,666,000 stone
Supplies: 86,000 pieces of cloth, 120,000 cotton...
It can be seen that except for the addition of a general material storage point in the interface, there are no other changes, but the public support has become zero.
Then I looked at the special products and found that the price of wheat had changed from six cents of silver to four cents of silver.
There are several other types of cereals.
Is it integrated?
Han Xi touched his chin. He had to buy 20 million shi to earn back the 2 million taels.
After watching it for a while, Han Xi discovered that not only could he travel to Yichuan County, but he could also control matter. In both places, the system has set aside a warehouse area where food can be stored indefinitely.
Now that there are more material options, many things should be able to be stored in the system.
In this way, two million taels is spent without losing money.
Just as Han Xi was looking at the system panel, a woman walked into the room with several palace maids.
"Your Majesty, the food is ready." The leader, a tall woman with looming long legs, bowed and saluted.
Han Xi stopped looking at the system interface and looked at the woman. In the cold winter, the woman was still wearing very cool clothes.
Seeing this, Han Xi raised the corners of his mouth and said, "It's cold, so sit in my arms and eat."
