Bu Zhi first looked at the various data that were sent to him. After seeing the current financial situation of Zhennan General Mansion, even though he had expected it, he was still shocked.
Two to three hundred thousand soldiers, tens of millions of grain and grass, and about two million soldiers and civilians...
This family's wealth can already catch up with the wealth of the early and middle periods of Soochow in the Three Kingdoms era.
In the future, if we expand further and annex the troops of the Qin Dynasty before Wuhe, it will be easy to surpass the heyday of Soochow.
"There are now two million soldiers and civilians in the military government. If we draw one out of ten, we can gather 200,000 soldiers... However, in this way, other aspects of the military government will be restricted and cannot be done!"
Two hundred thousand soldiers are pure soldiers.
But an army cannot only have fighting soldiers. It also needs a large number of auxiliary soldiers and masters to transport food and grass. The number of these people and horses alone cannot be lower than the number of fighting soldiers.
Those forces in the history books that claimed to have dispatched an army of 200,000 actually only had 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers on the battlefield.
Most of the others are auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands. Counting all these people, there are only two hundred thousand.
For example, Cao Cao's 800,000-strong army during the Three Kingdoms era actually only had 200,000 soldiers, including the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou after he captured Jingzhou...
But what Bu Zhi and Shen Yi are discussing now is the actual 200,000 soldiers. Not including those guard soldiers and city patrol soldiers.
If these troops are included, the number of soldiers under Wang Jing's command will exceed four to five million.
There are only two million soldiers and civilians in the army, and there are only so many young and strong people suitable for battle. Once a war breaks out and these soldiers are taken away, Sihong will be left with a large number of old, weak, sick and disabled, and it will be difficult to even farm.
This is what we mean by resorting to military violence.
Naturally, Shen Yi and Bu Zhe would not do this, so Bu Zhi thought for a while and continued: "In my opinion, it is enough to maintain the scale of one hundred thousand soldiers. After all, in addition to the soldiers, the military government also has guardsmen. , militia as a supplement!”
"Mr. Bu, can one hundred thousand standing troops defeat the Five Rivers and Former Qin army?"
Shen Yi asked worriedly.
Bu Zhi smiled and said: "Don't worry, Chang Shi, our army has been training continuously these days, selecting the best from the best, and selecting 100,000 soldiers from hundreds of thousands of soldiers. They must be elite soldiers. However, the Qin Dynasty in the Five Rivers Period has internal and external troubles. Even if there are Elite soldiers and strong generals will definitely not be our army’s opponent if they are unable to display their strength!”
Shen Yi believed Bu Zhi's guarantee.
He pondered for a moment and made a decision, "Then according to what Mr. said, while the world is changing, let's seize the time to help the Lord train elite soldiers!"
"Jiujiang Wang Yingbu has already appeared on the south bank of the Huaihe River. Maybe there will be more famous generals and powerful enemies in the future!"
"We can't waste any time. Only by using all our time to accelerate expansion can we fight against these powerful enemies..."
After hearing the news about Jiujiang Wang Yingbu.
Chen Yi has slowly come to his senses in the past few days, especially when he thought of his lord's face when he heard Yingbu's name and asked about his performance on the battlefield, he realized the difference between China Continent and the Origin World.
There is extraordinary power in this world.
If you become a ninth-level general, although you won't be able to defeat a country by one person, you will have no problem destroying ordinary princes' forces.
Chen Yi thought of this, so when Wang Jing was practicing behind closed doors these days, he took on all the complicated affairs of the military government without any complaints.
Even the more taboo things like organizing and training an army are taken care of.
As a minister, it is impossible to control both civil and military power. If you have all the military and political power in your hands, you can evacuate the monarch at any time and make the monarch a mere decoration.
Historically, such courtiers rarely had a good ending.
Even if you use your power to suppress the king during your lifetime, you will be liquidated by the king after your death, causing harm to your family.
Shen Yi is proficient in history books and knows this very well.
But he understands better that the core of the Zhennan Military Mansion is Wang Jing. Only when Wang Jing's strength becomes stronger can the Military Mansion be stable.
"I understand!"
Bu Zhao nodded and said that he also knew the taboo of ministers training troops and horses on behalf of the monarch, but at the moment he was just discussing with Shen Yi and drafting a suggestion.
The right to make the decision is still in Wang Jing's hands.
The prestige that Wang Jing left in the army by rushing into battle and killing generals far exceeded them, so there was no need to worry about the loss of power.
"And one more thing!"
Chen Yi said: "When the changes in the world are over and the time for grain and grass to mature returns to normal, we should divide the land and allocate fields to soldiers and common people. By then, the fields will be divided into military fields and civilian fields!"
"The civil fields are presided over by Tian Liangyun. The military fields and the garrison fields of the guards still need Mr. Bu to pay more attention!"
Wang Jing promised to reward his soldiers and people with land, but he never implemented it.
The main reason is that the grain matures every other month... If the fields are divided later, the military government's granary can harvest an extra round of grain.
There is food in hand and no panic in mind.
Wang Jing fully agreed with this sentence.
Now that the grain maturity time has begun to slowly recover, Wang Jing has hoarded a large amount of grain, so he can naturally consider dividing the fields.
Bu Zhao reminded: "If the land is divided, I suggest you do it before the change of heaven and earth ends. This can also win over the people. If the land is divided too late, the people will definitely have complaints in their hearts!"
No one is a fool.
The fields will not be divided when the grain can mature quickly, but the fields will be divided when the grain takes more than a hundred days to mature... The people will definitely complain in their hearts. Plans to win over people by dividing fields will inevitably achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"Brother Bu is right, but I was a little negligent on this point!"
Shen Yi said.
Now the civil servants in Sihong City are headed by two people. After they have discussed various matters, they will deliver the summary document of handling the big and small matters, as well as the two people's suggestions to the backyard of the General's Mansion.
Wang Jing was still tempering his five internal organs with Gang Qi through various means, and only looked through these documents during the break in practice.
One day later, in the backyard.
Wang Jing's face was as red as blood, and his energy was extremely strong. Wisps of white smoke curled up from the top of his head. After a while, the red energy and blood on his face slowly dissipated.
This is a sign that the heart is tempered and the qi and blood in the body begin to change.
He casually pulled the sweat towel from the hand of the maid next to him, wiped his face casually, and then waved, the maid holding the document came over, and he opened the document and quickly looked through it.
His mental power is stronger than that of a fourth-level civil servant. His strong mental power brings him photographic memory, clear thinking and other benefits.
Especially when the state of wisdom is turned on.
His thinking is like a precise and meticulous machine. He can quickly come up with ways to deal with various things based on his own way of thinking and experience.
Actually.
Wang Jing's ability to handle government affairs is already comparable to that of Shen Yi and Bu Zhi. The incompetent young man in the origin world is already a memory of a distant time.
More than a year.
Wang Jing has received countless tempers, coupled with the blessing of his wise mind state and spiritual power, he is extremely skilled in both civil and military arts.
