Chapter 555 Returning to the Autumn Harvest
Wang Jing, who was still in Shouchun, naturally didn't know that Hefei and other places had fallen into the hands of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the leader of the army was the top famous general Xie Xuan, but even if he knew, he could only sit back and watch the expansion of the Jin army.

Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Yu, the threat of the Jin army is actually not great, not because of anything else, it is simply that Sima Shao is far inferior to Zhu and Liu.

Compared with other monarchs in the Jin Dynasty, Sima Shao was indeed a wise monarch, but among the emperors of all dynasties, his ability can only be said to be not bad, and he was in the upper middle class.

But the distance from the top Ming Jun is not even a star.As long as the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is still Sima Shao, it is useless to give him Wang Dao, Xie An, Xie Xuan, Zu Di, and Tao Kan.

The major aristocratic families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty are good at home, but it is difficult to be tough on the outside.

Not to mention Hefei, even if the Eastern Jin army can occupy all the boundaries of Lujiang, Wang Jing will not worry.

After receiving the inheritance of the military strategy of the Zhuge Clan in Langya, Wang Jing returned to Sihong with Gao Yan and Zhou Panlong as the guard.

Before leaving, let Fu Youde stay in Shouchun to clean up the various places in Shouchun, and then slowly mobilize troops and horses to start withdrawing troops. While withdrawing troops, by the way, collect Zhu Yi, Wen Qin's troops, and Wei Jun's captives, as long as they are elite veterans They are all incorporated into the soldiers.

At this time, the Huai army had about 130 million soldiers.

Wang Jing is going to increase the number of soldiers by another 20, making a total of 150 million soldiers. In this way, Wang Jing can use millions of soldiers to attack Jiangnan in the future.

Leave 50 soldiers and a large number of guards to guard against accidents in the rear.

With an army of one million, none of the several princes in the south of the Yangtze River has such a huge force.

From the point of view of military strength alone, Wang Jing has a huge advantage, and he has a three-point chance of winning, but on the battlefield, anything can happen.

Wang Jing would not feel contemptuous of the enemy because of his strong military strength.

The five-toothed warship is like a hill, floating in the wide river, its huge size allows the warship to crush all waves when driving on the water, and the people on board do not feel the slightest bump.

The only flaw is that the speed is not so fast.

When Wang Jing returned to Sihong, the autumn harvest had passed, the vast fields became bare, and the hardworking people harvested a lot of grain.

From the beginning of the first year to the present, even if the world has changed drastically, without the blessing of the incomparable life and reproduction, the grain harvested in the fields alone can feed a family for several years.

Coupled with the favorable weather, in the third and fourth years of the early days, each time was a bumper harvest.

Not to mention the tens of millions of grains and grass that Wang Jing had hoarded in the past, the grain harvested in the past two years alone could easily maintain the existence of more than a million soldiers.There are also the military rations harvested by the soldiers of the guards, and the hard labor that was forced to farm for crimes...

In the future, when the Huaixi province stabilizes, it will be a new place with abundant money and food, which can provide a large amount of food, grass and soldiers for the Huai army.

“What a beautiful view!”

Seeing the joy of the harvest on the faces of the people, Wang Jing on the boat couldn't help but smile.

Huaixi Province is still in the stage of exempting land tax, but Huaibei Xingsheng has started to pay grain and tax normally, and can provide tens of millions of shi of grain every year.

Originating from the great unified dynasty in the history of the world, the country can probably collect more than 2000 million to 3000 million shi of grain every year.

The combined land taxes of the three provinces of the Huai Army can have more than 1000 million shi.

The land occupied by Wang Jing is not as large as the whole country of Yuan World, but Dingkou under his command already has tens of millions, and its population is already comparable to a unified dynasty.

The Shenzhou world has a vast area, and Wang Jing's Huaibei province, under the cultivation of enough people, surpasses several provinces in the original world.

The Jiangdu province suffered little damage.

Under the governance of Su Wei and others, they are also rapidly approaching Huaibei Province.

"This year's weather is good, the grain harvest is bumper, and our army's confidence in going south is even greater!"

Wang Jing said casually.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Gao Yan was secretly amazed. He had seen the memorial sent by Sihong, which recorded the farmland, taxes, and registered households of Qimin in several provinces.

He has a detailed understanding of today's Huai army.

The Huai army at this time is not as good as those unified dynasties in terms of strength and background, but it is definitely better than the dynasties that separated the north and the south.

In the exclamation along the way.

Wang Jing returned to Sihong by boat, and Bu Zhi and Qiao Xuan came to meet him.During the autumn harvest period, Shen Yi and Wang Guangyang were extremely busy and had no time to welcome and send them off.

"Congratulations to the king for returning with a great victory!"

After seeing Wang Jing's figure, Bu Zhi took the lead in congratulating him.

This campaign against Shouchun went incredibly smoothly.When Bu Zhi first heard the battle report, he was also shocked, and felt that Wang Jing's great career was promising, and his decision to enter the palace as a younger sister was not wrong.

"You don't need to be too polite!"

"What happened in Sihong recently, I will briefly explain it to Gu..."

Wang Jing waved his hand, boarded the chariot, and by the way, gave way to Bu Zhi and Qiao Xuan to enter the car, and asked casually.

The spies of the Military Intelligence Department will send him reports every day.The three central provinces also sent memorials every day.

Wang Jing is very familiar with the situation of Sihong and the Huai army.

But after all, he didn't sit in Sihong, like the news from the three major provinces and counties, they would only be sent to the central government, many small and unimportant things, Wang Jing didn't know at all.

Even if it was a major event, Wang Jing only had a little understanding of it, but didn't know the inside story.

So after returning.

Wang Jingcai gave way to Bu Zhi to explain to him.

"Recently after the autumn harvest, Xueshi Shen and Xueshi Wang are mobilizing officials from the Taxation Department, big and small, to go to various prefectures and counties to inspect the collection of taxes!"

"As for the others... I don't know much about internal affairs, I only know about these things. I do know a thing or two about military affairs and the situation of the four princes..."

As a privy envoy in charge of military affairs, Bu Zhi didn't care too much about civil affairs, of course it was to avoid suspicion.

He briefly said a few things about the Ministry of Government Affairs, then changed his voice, and reported to Wang Jing the military affairs of various places and the situation of the surrounding princes.

Military affairs everywhere are normal.

Those captive soldiers who were defeated and captured by the Huai army have basically integrated into the Huai army.
Among them, the more honest and elite soldiers were directly incorporated into the soldiers to supplement the battle losses.

The honest but ordinary soldiers were incorporated into the guards to enrich the stability and order of the prefectures and counties, while those veterans with bad personalities still served as hard labor engineers, specializing in digging mountains, digging stones, building roads, palaces, and canals.

The Privy Council now only has Bu Zhi as a Privy Envoy, and the daily paperwork and reports squeeze Bu Zhi very hard.

If it was the source world, Bu Zhi would have been squeezed to death from overwork.

That is to say, in the Shenzhou world, Bu Zhi's mental strength is strong and his potential is amazing, so he persisted in this continuous military affairs report, and sorted out the military affairs in an orderly manner.

When Bu Zhi reported.

Wang Jing glanced at him slightly, his eyes flashed with inspiration. After such a long period of tempering, Bu Zhi's life level also quietly reached the eighth level.

Only half a step away, you can break through the ninth-order limit.
