Chapter 1549
People say that once a cannon is fired, there is a lot of gold. There are two diametrically opposed meanings among them. One is the cost and burden of war, and the other is making war fortune.
For the various Xia dynasties of the past, this sentence is more of extravagance.
For example, if 100,000 soldiers are used to fight, how many civilians need to be recruited, how much food and money need to be allocated, all aspects of which are involved, often in a battle, you will lose money if you win, and even lose money if you lose.
The underlying reason, to put it bluntly, is that social productivity cannot keep up.
The establishment of a dynasty, from the very beginning, thousands of 800 people, thirty to fifty long spears, followed a bright master, the more you fight, the stronger you fight, the richer you fight, until you get the entire Divine Province. This can be seen as a process of making war fortune.
However, at this stage, it is already Peak. After Peak, it will decline. After the establishment of the country and the establishment of the territory, the foreign wars of the feudal dynasty are often no longer aimed at expanding the territory and making war fortune, but are mostly a kind of resisting foreign aggression and eliminating external warfare. Hidden danger of war.
So the harvest is gone, only paying.
The reason lies in the social productivity-because in terms of social productivity at the time, the dynasty could no longer rule a larger and larger territory. Once the war exceeds the upper limit of social productivity, there is no benefit.
Therefore, when the various Xia dynasty was in its heyday, there were many victories. It stands to reason that the country should expand with it, but it did not. For example, how many years did the war against the barbarians in the northern grasslands fought? Then after the fight, he retreated without gaining any actual benefits, and abandoned it like a shoe. So the land was returned to the enemy again, and when the enemy became stronger, he continued to fight.
If there is a strong social productivity backing, for example, during a foreign war, there is no need to mobilize too many civilians, the time for transporting materials can be greatly shortened, and the cost will be greatly reduced. reduce.
Move 100,000 soldiers and horses and recruit countless civilians. In a war, the number of participants in a war is actually several or even ten times the number of direct combatants. Provisions that need to be allocated must be allocated in accordance with the standard of several times and ten times, and after deducting the excessive loss during the long transportation, the damage to the civilian ecology by the allocation of civilians, etc., how can war be profitable?
The Martial Emperor of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, but the Han Dynasty also weakened. Emperor Yang of Sui struck Goguryeo three times, breaking the country and destroying his family. Li Shimin at the back didn't ask for much.
Imagine if there were railways, trains, and planes at that time, what would happen? If there is any information in the frontier, it can reach the center in an instant. What will happen? What will happen if there is too much food to eat? Will the land laid down be discarded like a shoe?
Absolutely not.
Of course, this is still early for Ying Yi.
At this stage, Ying Yi is in the first stage of making war fortune. Therefore, after Northern Expedition Mieming took Hebei, his gains far exceeded his efforts.
In Ying Yi, these are two aspects.
The first and most intuitive thing is the harvest of wealth. Such as gold and silver, such as population, such as land.
The second is a higher level of humanitarian projects and the huge gains obtained by True Spirit.
As far as wealth is concerned, just talk about gold and silver. The value of the gold and silver jewellery seized and seized by just one capital is more than 150 million taels of silver. Converted into new currency, it is 15 billion yuan.
This is just pure gold and silver. Other additional items, such as seizures of mansions, shops, grain, and various materials, will quadruple this number.
As for the population, the statistics have not been completed yet. However, the total population of the entire land of Hebei is expected to be more than five times the total population of Henan. That is more than three thousand 5 million people. This is the lower limit. The actual population should exceed this number.
As for the land, needless to say.
And in the capture of Human Dao Fate and True Spirit, the gains are even more visible.
Ying Yi
Physique: 16
divine soul: 11
True Spirit: 8
Rootness: None
True Spirit number: 310000
Human Dao Fate: 10000000
Human Dao Fate: 5000000
Number of people on the list: 100000
This is the general data.
Why do you say it in general? Because in addition to Ying Yi's own data, other True Spirit numbers, Human Dao Fate, places and the number of people on the list are all increasing.
According to Henan, Ying Yi’s Human Dao Fate reached the million-level. After the Northern Expedition and the Great Breaking of the Eastern Captives, the five-six hundred million skyrocketed in an instant, and it increased rapidly in the process of purging and suppressing all parts of the country. At this time, it had already exceeded ten million.
Correspondingly, the Humanitarian List also exceeds 5 million.
This is terrifying. In other words, Ying Yi can list the names of 5 million people on the Humanitarian List to benefit them and be fully controlled by Ying Yi.
At first, Ying Yi's quota was tight, and even the army could not be on the list. Up to now, the number of vacancies has greatly exceeded the number of people who can make the list.
After the expansion of the army is completed, the ground in Hebei is completely cleaned and a complete ruling institution is established, there should be more than 3100,000 people on the list, but compared to the vacant quota, even one-tenth will not reach .
As far as Ying Yi is concerned, the Humanitarian List is definitely enough. The number of people on the list will definitely be controlled below a level. Because this involves the problem of True Spirit feedback-there are too many people on the list, and the number of True Spirit is definitely not enough, it is difficult to reflect the benefits of being on the list.
True Spirit number is the energy source for major projects, and is the most important thing.
Ying Yi also thought about this issue quite in-depth. And got some vague inspiration from the great characters, but it hasn't been realized yet.
If you can only get True Spirit numbers by killing, this is not a heaven-spanning grand dao. Kill Kill Kill, even if all other creatures on Earth are killed, the number of True Spirits will always be exhausted.
Fortunately, Ying Yi has gotten the enlightenment. It shouldn't be the second way to obtain True Spirit, and it shouldn't be time.
After July, with the smooth progress of the purge and the smooth follow-up of the Muzhengyuan and the Royal Court, all related new policies have gradually been rolled out, and Ying Yi has begun to gradually delegate power.
The general direction has been established and is on the right track. Ying Yi should also be relieved from the complicated affairs.
On the first day of July, Ying Yi gave the imperial edict, moved the former dynasty Chongzhen and his concubines and family members outside the palace, and gave them a place to live in the Ming Mansion. He also gave 100,000 money and a thousand acres of land, and would be willing to continue to follow Zhu Youjian's eunuchs, such as Wang Chengen and others, to give them together, and put the family in a proper place.
For Zhu Youjian, Ying Yi is not harsh. The Ming Dynasty is gone, Zhu Youjian is no longer the emperor of the emperor, but as an ordinary commoners with a special identity, living under the rule of Ying Yi. Granting him a thousand acres of land and 100,000 Xia coins is not harsh, but generally good-for-nothing.
As for the maids and eunuchs of Central Plains, Ying Yi also has corresponding arrangements.
Naturally, if Great Xia is established, there is no need for the eunuch to continue to exist. However, the existing eunuchs cannot be discarded at will. These people were let go, they had no livelihood, and they were even discriminated against and harmed. Therefore, this group of eunuchs, Ying Yi intends to use them temporarily, after all, they have a good understanding of the etiquette and rules of the palace. It's just that after Great Xia is established, it will not continue to increase.
Ying Yi does not discriminate against eunuchs, but it is not waiting to be seen. In contrast, palace ladies are always more feast for the eyes than eunuchs, aren’t they?
In the future, the palace will be dominated by female officials.
The placement of Zhu Youjian has come to an end for the time being. When Great Xia is established, it can be the final finishing touch.
After that, Ying Yi was busy traveling to and from the Wang Gong factory.
