The Three Kingdoms began with self-reliance as king

Chapter 101 Yuanhong's considerations are reasonable (thanks to "Bingyan 438951276" for the monthly ticket)

Zhang Man said to Liu Yi:

"Brother, all the soldiers and people in Wancheng moved to Montenegro, about 5 people."

"Well, thank you for your hard work!"

Liu Yi nodded, very satisfied with the results reported by Zhang Mancheng.

The soldiers and civilians brought from Wancheng, plus the elite soldiers he brought back from Guangzong City.

Now the number of soldiers and civilians in his hands is close to 6 without knowing it!
Sixty thousand!

This is a very astonishing figure.

Liu Yi never thought that after the Yellow Turban Uprising was suppressed, he could retain so much strength.

Of course, if the common people are not included, his current strength is only about [-].

But he is already very satisfied.

Because most of these [-] miles are elite soldiers.

The overall combat effectiveness is very impressive.

"It is gratifying that the Lord has a large number of soldiers and civilians.

But in the long run, food is a big problem!
The food and grass consumed by our soldiers and horses is a big hole, not to mention there are [-] people who need to be fed. "

Zhang Ling was worried.

Although he can buy food and grass as supplies.

But with so many mouths, just eating can make them bankrupt.

Their ratio of soldiers to civilians is very unreasonable.

秦代兵民比是1比25或者1比50，到他们现在最低也不能少于1比10。

That is to say, under the premise of ensuring normal production and labor.

Their 30 soldiers need [-] people to feed them well.

The more soldiers, the better.

Logistical supplies should also keep up.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to feed so many mouths. Once the stomach is not full, the soldiers will easily mutiny and riot.

"Yeah! Yuanhong's concerns are reasonable."

The problem of food and grass should indeed be ranked in an important position.

It is the biggest problem they have to face now.

It is easy to recruit soldiers, but difficult to raise them.

Although there are still a few food and grass cards in Liu Yi's spatial backpack.

But you can't just sit and eat.

In addition to [-] soldiers, he now has [-] people to support.

6 people are starving for food.

At the moment, there is still enough food and grass, and Zhang Ling's subordinates are also doing business outside.

The food and grass consumed to feed so many people is simply an unimaginable astronomical figure.

With great difficulty, Liu Yi gained a good reputation among the common people by suppressing bandits.

In the future, I can't smash my house number and do things like robbing houses.

think carefully.

The only long-term solution is to have enough food and clothing by yourself.

Bai Qi nodded and said:

"The art of ruling a country is to strengthen the army and have enough food, let the land fall off to plant livestock and military resources, and then the overlord's career can be achieved."

Liu Yi's eyes lit up, it seemed that Bai Qi wanted to go with him.

"Bai Qi is referring to the farming system?" Liu Yi asked tentatively.

"Exactly! Now that we have just settled down, the land in the entire valley can be used by the Lord.

Our army's grain and grass reserves are temporarily sufficient, and Yuan Hong can purchase farm tools.

We only need to distribute the land, food, and agricultural tools to the people and vigorously develop the villages.

It would be even better if we could get farm cattle! "

Cattle can indeed improve the efficiency of arable land, but there are not many of them right now, and we can think of a way in the future.

Liu Yi had only a vague impression of the garrison system, so when he saw Bai Qi speaking, he humbly asked him for advice.

"How to use it and tell me in detail!"

Bai Qi pondered for a moment, then turned his thoughts to the back and said:

"The lord can appoint a person to be responsible for distributing the land, grain, cattle, and farm tools to the farmers.

After the people are stabilized, farmland is reclaimed, and water conservancy is built, the method of dividing the land can be used to expropriate the people's food based on the actual output.

People with official cattle receive [-]% of the grain, and people without official cattle receive [-]% of the grain, and farmers in the farm are not allowed to leave the farm at will..."

Hearing that Bai Qi wanted to expropriate so much grain, Liu Yi felt that the exploitation was a bit serious, and he was afraid that something might be wrong.

"I heard that in the pre-Qin period, the tax was one for fifteen and one for thirty. Will we oppress too much and cause the people to defect?"

Bai Qi shook his head:
"It is inevitable that the common people will resist. For them, there is land to cultivate now, which can guarantee a stable life.

As long as we don't oppress them further, they won't defect.

What they need is a stable life, and our military can shelter them, protect them, and satisfy their desire.

After they pass the conflict period, their enthusiasm for farming will gradually increase. "

Zhang Mancheng was a little curious:
"Why do you always talk about Mintun but not Juntun?
The military and civilians working together to farm the fields will not be able to better solve the problem of military rations and promote overall stability. "

Bai Qi smiled and explained:
"Military settlements will inevitably lead to lack of training for soldiers, thereby reducing combat effectiveness, so I advocate that civilian settlements should be the mainstay.

However, the specific situation must be analyzed in detail, after all, our military-civilian ratio is too exaggerated. "

When everyone heard the words, they suddenly realized.

It is undeniable that the farming system played an important role in restoring agricultural production.

The farming system has a long history, and it was gradually completed in the course of historical development, and it is the condensate of historical development.

Everyone knows very well that military rations are the material basis and material conditions for all actions.

It is also a problem that they urgently need to solve now.

After listening to Bai Qi's analysis, Liu Yi fell into deep thought.

The military settlements did inevitably lead to a decline in the combat effectiveness of soldiers.

But their military-to-civilian ratio is close to 1:1, which is really exaggerated. "

Thinking of this, he already has calculations in his mind:
"I mean first the people and then the soldiers, turning the soldiers into the people, using the people to promote the soldiers, and combining soldiers and farmers.

In the early stage, we used the strategy of focusing on civilian settlements and supplementing military settlements, and the military and civilians produced and developed together.

Let the soldiers go deep into the people to help them complete the farming, so that when we collect grain, their resistance will be greatly reduced.

It helps to draw the hearts of the people closer to us. "

Mainly civilian villages, supplemented by military villages?
After listening to Liu Yi's explanation, everyone felt that it was still feasible.

The land in the valley is fertile, and many barren farmlands can be reclaimed.

Soldiers and civilians working together can reclaim farmland in a short period of time, so that agriculture can resume production as soon as possible and achieve the goal of stable development.

The army and the people are united, and in time, the warehouse will be full.

After some discussions.

Appoint Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, and Li Dagui to take charge of related matters.

Everyone works together.

Build houses for the people, distribute land, donate necessary food, farm tools, and rent cattle.

While the Tuntian system is slowly being implemented.

Liu Yi also ordered Bai Qi and Zhang Mancheng to select young men from the army and civilians, organize the construction of roads, repair and strengthen buildings, and further expand the small town.

In order to improve enthusiasm and efficiency, Liu Yi handed over five hundred guan and five baht to Zhang Ling.

In addition to the necessary reserves, a part is used to purchase various required items, and a small part is rewarded to the soldiers and civilians who participated in the construction of the small city.

As such.

Especially the common people who participated in the construction were full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm.

Not only can they fill their stomachs, but they can also get some wages.

Although few, they are already very satisfied.

After experiencing the chaos of the Yellow Turban Uprising, they cherish the current stable life even more.

They are using their own hands to create their own beautiful life!

So far, the army and the people have devoted themselves to the construction trend with one heart and one mind...
