Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 285 Zhuge Jin with a Headache!

Because of this kind of generous treatment, although the surrounding area of ​​Xuzhou has not issued any policies for the recruitment of refugees.

But it still attracted many refugees, who walked out of the mountains and wanted to try to join the Xuzhou Army.

Even if it's just an auxiliary soldier, at least as long as he joins in, he will be able to get two Shimi's settling allowance, not to mention.

The two stone rice per month, in addition to supporting myself, can also manage a few more mouths.

I keep a stone for myself, and cook the remaining stone into porridge, which can at least take care of my wife and children for a month.

As for the parents...

Refugees, refugees, among the refugees, the first to die are the old people.

If he can survive until now, he can still survive until Yuan Tan regains Xuzhou and cleanses the refugees in all directions.

Most of them, let alone their parents, even if their wives and children are still alive, it is already quite rare.

It's just that it doesn't matter whether it's Yuan Tan, or Shi Zhugejin, the head of the Marquis of Qi who is in charge of Xuzhou's internal affairs.

For these refugees who want to join the army, there is nothing they can do.

At least for now, that is the case.

As said before.

The Xuzhou Army's treatment of the soldiers is so generous that it can be called the best in the world.

Even the Hebei Army in Xuzhou's rear area was not as generously paid as the Xuzhou Army.

But the soldiers were relieved, the huge shortage of food and money brought huge pressure.

But it fell on the civil servants of the Qihou Mansion headed by Zhuge Jin.

Qihou mansion.

With the completion of the Qihou Mansion, if everyone in Xuzhou discusses matters, they will do so in the Qihou Mansion.

Regardless of whether Yuan Tan attended the meeting or not, at least the discussion was held in the Qihou Mansion, which was an attitude of the courtiers, showing that they were not showing favoritism.

It's just that the atmosphere in today's Qihou Mansion is quite different.

In front of the inner house of Qihou Mansion, Yuan Lang was wearing heavy armor and holding an iron gun, standing firmly in front of the inner house gate, with a bitter expression on his face:

"Zhuge Changshi, your Majesty is really busy. It is inconvenient to see Changshi today. Please ask Changshi to go back."

Yuan Lang felt bitter.

These days, Zhuge Jin was about to be driven crazy by the food shortage in Xuzhou.

According to the specifications of the Xuzhou Army.

Fifty thousand regular soldiers would need to spend 500 shi and [-] million yuan a month.

Even [-] auxiliary soldiers will spend [-] shimi a month.

But what is the current situation in Xuzhou?

Xuzhou once had a population of more than 60 and a household of more than 20.

The current registered population is less than 30!
This is the data after Chen Deng killed a group of local wealthy families and cleared out the hidden households of the aristocratic families!

With a population of less than 30, it is worth [-] households by household!
The wasteland reclaimed by each household is less than ten acres!

Adding up the whole of Xuzhou, the fields that have been reclaimed and can be planted in March have just reached one million mu!
Don't think that the number of 800 million is too much!

During the Han Dynasty, the yield of one mu of land was less than one stone of rice!
Even though Xuzhou is located in the south of the Huaihe River, rice can be grown in two seasons, and the output of one mu of land a year is only two stones of rice!

You know, these two stone rice cannot be collected in full.

According to Zhuge Jin's policy of light corvee and thin tax, all kinds of miscellaneous taxes in Xuzhou are now abolished, there is only one land tax, and each household has a husband at the beginning of each year for three months of corvee!

Land tax is collected in proportion to four citizens and six citizens.

In other words, only four-tenths of a million mu of land, with an annual income of 200 million shimi, can actually be collected into the treasury, which is 80 shim!
Collected in August and the twelfth lunar month respectively.

But what month is it now?

It's only halfway through February!

There are still six full months until August!
In six months, there was a full [-] million shi in the shortage of food for the army alone!
This still doesn't count the salary of the soldiers!
Even if all of Xuzhou's taxes were thrown in this year, it wouldn't be able to fill this hole!

Fortunately, Yuan Shao also knew that Xuzhou, which his son had now acquired, was a mess.

Chen Zhen transferred 40 shi of grain and grass from Hebei successively in January and February.

Barely able to allow Zhuge Jin to survive the payment of military salaries in February and March.

After all, before Chen Deng searched the aristocratic family, after He Shouchun conquered, another wave of aristocratic family was harvested.

Yuan Tan's money in his hands is not too small, and the total sum is just enough for a small goal.

But don't forget that since February, Yuan Tan has been engaged in compost processing, water hammer transfer, and then overhauled Jiangzuoyuan.

The copper coins scattered back and forth have exceeded 3000 million!
Counting the salary that should be paid out in February, the remaining inventory in the treasury is only enough to last four months!

Zhuge Jin had a headache and was about to collapse.

He stared at everything and calculated how much it could be sold for, and how much food and grass it could be exchanged for.

Chen Deng, who likes to invite his friends and colleagues to the house for dinner, dare not approach Zhuge Jin these days.

I was afraid that Zhuge Ziyu, who was about to be driven mad by Yuan Tan's series of magical operations, would confiscate their Chen family's savings.

Even the reasons are readily available.

"As a famous scholar in Xuzhou, the Lord is worried. Why doesn't Yuanlong imitate the righteous men of ancient times, share the Lord's worries, and solve the family's problems?"

Although Zhuge Jin didn't really say this.

But Chen Deng couldn't help but was scared.

After all, Xuzhou really had a precedent for such a thing, and it was not far away, only two or three years ago!

Thinking of this, Zhuge Jin missed Mi Zhu who had followed Liu Bei Dianpei to Xinye more and more.

Destroying the family and mastering the lord's worries and problems, this is a real celebrity.

He looked at Chen Deng as if he were looking at a piece of smelly dog ​​shit, which made Chen Deng extremely sad and angry.

Good guy, co-authored me to take the blame for the lord before, brought down so many families, and confiscated more than [-] million property.

Doesn't count as credit?

But right now, Zhuge Jin's worries are real. A good man in his 20s is a good time to be ambitious and make contributions.

As a result, I was so worried that I lost a lot of hair because of Xuzhou's predicament.

Chen Deng also understood quite well, but Zhuge Jin couldn't help but stared at him with green eyes.

There was really no other way, so he simply invited Xiu Mu to inspect the counties of Xuzhou for Yuan Tan, and went to the collection status of the compost treatment place.

Even Chen Deng, who has a strong temperament, was forced to this point by Zhuge Jin.

As the "culprit", Yuan Tan will naturally not escape Zhuge Jin's "torture".

Of course, with Zhuge Jin's courage, he didn't dare to treat his lord the same way he treated Chen Deng, but he came to ask Yuan Tan as a routine every day.

Either find a way to reduce the number of troops, or find a way to find a cheap father for some food.

For the solution given by Zhuge Jin, Yuan Tan could only respond with two words.

Disarmament is impossible, and [-] auxiliary soldiers is already a limit.

In the spring of next year, with the unfolding of the Great War in the Central Plains, the auxiliary soldiers trained three times every ten days will be the best source of troops to supplement the main soldiers on the frontal battlefield after they are lost.

Compared with Wei Gong Cao Cao, who randomly captured refugees and made them strong men, and Sun Ce, the little overlord who simply used the rebels from Shanyue as a reserve of soldiers.

Such an army of Xuzhou, among other things, has inherently surpassed them by a large margin in terms of combat power and training quality.
