"Your Majesty, there are so many medicinal materials."
??Wei Zhenzhen was very excited. She had not had such a big reaction before when she saw the mountains of gold, silver, silk, silk and jade placed in the warehouse.
??When she arrived at the pharmacy, her eyes turned red as she looked at the good-quality medicines in the open box.
??I have been shopping everywhere these days, and I have been talking to those wealthy businessmen and families, but I have not been able to buy a few plants. They are all available here.
??Seeing Wei Zhenzhen lose her composure, Chen Zixing didn't dare to laugh. He knew that this was the bun seller at Feng's bun shop, but this happened at the same time.
?? She used to sell buns, but now she is probably the princess. Even if the other party behaves like a country bumpkin, she will still be a country bumpkin princess...
??If you don't respond well, I'm afraid it will be a disaster.
??"Your Majesty, all the property belonging to General Manager Fu has been moved to the Yangxin Hall of Jiangdu Palace. These medicines were originally donated by wealthy households.
?? Jiangdu does not produce medicinal materials. If there are not enough, you can buy them from other forces. "
??He had no idea what Yang Lin needed so much good medicine for, so he didn't ask any more questions and just tried his best to solve the problem.
??This attitude is very comfortable.
??“Where are the belongings? How much is the total?”
??It’s not that Yang Lin doesn’t care, it’s that he has no idea at all. He doesn’t even understand how much tax each household has to collect in this era.
??At this time, I can only pretend to know everything and ask Chen Zixing.
??Maybe it was something about what he did these days that touched Chen Zixing's heart.
??This garrison general who came from a poor family had a strange change in his attitude.
??Yang Lin could feel that the other party had no resistance and would take the initiative to help him gather financial and military power.
??For example, he had previously discovered that Chen Zixing was recruiting troops aggressively and personally went to various counties to preach the benefits of being a soldier, exempting him from taxes, distributing money and food, subsidizing the dead and injured, etc., and sparing no effort at all.
??In just three days, 20,000 people surrendered to the army, many of whom were strong, brave and powerful men.
??Think about it, these people want to make contributions.
??"The official has calculated that the total amount of silk and cotton is more than 30 million yuan, the silver is more than 5 million yuan, and the food..."
"Well..." No matter how unfamiliar with government affairs Yang Lin was, he could still understand what these numbers represented. He felt like he had picked up a big treasure.
??A mere Jiangdu County has so much wealth.
??How many soldiers can this support?
??Okay, the number is too big to count.
??Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty should have thought about moving the capital for a long time.
??This is too much preparation.
??I don’t know what he thinks. Is it because living in the south is more comfortable than in the north?
??Anyway, Yang Lin doesn’t quite understand.
??In fact, raising soldiers is not all about money, most of them are also about food.
??It’s easier to do it if you don’t have money, but it’s over if you don’t have food.
??"How much food is there? Can it support 100,000 soldiers?"
??This is the issue that Yang Lin is most concerned about.
??Chen Zixing's expression was very strange, and he replied in a dull voice: "Your Majesty, the amount of grain stored in Yangzhou's official warehouse is quite large. There are 1,0300 cellars, and each cellar contains 8,000 stones."
??Yang Lin was stunned for a moment, and after a quick calculation in his mind, he clapped his hands fiercely, exhaled a long breath, and said angrily: "The people support the people, the people support the people."
??A total of more than 8 million shi of grain. Under any circumstances, one million soldiers can be fed for two years without doing anything.
??If millions of people are allowed to eat it, it is estimated that they can last for ten years.
??If he could raise 100,000 soldiers, he would not have to worry about food shortages for twenty years.
??There is so much grain in Jiangdu County.
??So, how many were there in the six major granaries of the Sui Dynasty?
??Ask if you don’t understand.
??"Over there in Xingluocang, do you know how much food there is? Can you hear it?"
"This is no secret. As the first of the six major granaries, Xingluo Granary is said to have more than 3,000 granaries, which is more than three times that of ours."
??Well, as long as Wagangzhai captures Xingluocang, it will be a real wave of gain. No wonder it suddenly has the momentum to sweep the world.
??There is so much food, and if the warehouses are opened to put food in, refugees from all over the world will flock to it, and they can all eat and drink as much as they want.
??It is not difficult to gather millions of soldiers in a short period of time.
??“The Sui Dynasty was actually very wealthy.”
??Yang Lin sighed.
??Unfortunately, the rich are not the common people.
??No matter how rich the country is, it has nothing to do with the people. Children are sold everywhere, and people starve to death everywhere.
??While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.
??This is a scene that will appear in the last years of every dynasty.
??I really can’t blame the people for being restless.
??What Li Shimin said later, water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. This is really not an idle moan, but that he has seen a lot and experienced these things.
??That’s why I felt it.
??How rich was the Sui Dynasty? Later, after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, there was no need to worry about food and drink, and the prosperous age came immediately.
??One moment, it was rich and powerful, and all the nations came to the dynasty. The next moment, it quickly collapsed and the dynasty was destroyed.
??The legacy left behind is enough to make the Li Tang Dynasty laugh out of their dreams.
??"So, I have received the first wave of dividends."
??Yang Lin wanted to laugh, but felt it was inappropriate.
??Because, outside, there are still many people who don’t have enough to eat.
??“Let’s open a warehouse to store grain...
??At the same time, it was announced that all regions would be exempted from taxes for three years to encourage land reclamation.
??Furthermore, as long as one person in the family is a soldier, it will be classified as an honorable family and exempt from taxes for life.
??During service, wages are paid, no, money is paid...
??If you die in a powerless battle, you will feel sorry for your whole life and your family will benefit. "
??What do I need so much money for?
??At this time, it is impossible to be worse than a bandit and a rebel.
??"Thank you, Your Majesty."
??Chen Zixing’s eyes turned red and he bowed down suddenly.
??Yang Lin accepted this gift safely.
??He didn't know what Chen Zixing had experienced before. He only knew that at this moment, the other party was indeed sincere and grateful to him for this land and these people.
??"Go down."
??After Yang Lin saw the warehouse, he settled down in Jiangdu Palace with peace of mind.
??Yangzhou civil and military officials, at this moment, seem to have completely forgotten about a certain saint. They have already set off on their journey and will arrive in Jiangdu soon.
??Outside, not only in Yangzhou City, but also in various counties, all the people came out crying and laughing as if they were celebrating the New Year.
??Never before have there been so many people at any time.
??The government provides food and there is benevolent government. Anyone who is unhappy is stupid.
??Public support is available.
??What the people need is actually very simple.
??I heard Gui Xiliang come back and report that firecrackers had been set off outside the city for three days.
??It’s more lively than the Chinese New Year.
??Yang Lin no longer paid attention to this matter.
??At this time, he found that he did not have any capable people to use.
??It is not a talent for military and political management.
??After all, it’s just one county and the original team can basically handle it.
??Mainly because there are no masters.
??He has not forgotten that this year is the beginning of chaos in the world.
??Living in a corner, if you don’t hit others, others will hit you.
??"You can't do big things or small things. You have to rely on me to do all the big battles and small battles. That would be too miserable."
??So, Yang Lin decided to teach a few masters first so that they could be used later.
