Chapter 328 Zhumen wine and meat stink

"My lord, there are a lot of herbs."

Wei Zhenzhen was very excited. She didn't have such a big reaction when she saw the gold, silver treasures and silk and jade wares placed in the warehouse like a mountain.

When she arrived at the pharmacy, her eyes were red when she saw the medicines in good condition in the opened box.

These days, I have been buying everywhere, and I have worn out my lips with those wealthy businessmen, and I haven't bought a few plants, but here are all of them.

Seeing Wei Zhenzhen's loss of composure, Chen Zixing didn't dare to laugh. He knew that this was the steamed stuffed bun seller from Feng's Baozi Shop, but this moment and that moment.

In the past, he was selling buns, but now he is probably the princess. Even if the other party shows some bumpkin appearance, he is still the princess of the bumpkin...

If one doesn't deal with it well, I'm afraid it will be a catastrophe.

"Your Majesty, all the belongings of the chief manager's talisman have been moved to the Yangxin Hall of Jiangdu Palace. These medicines were originally tributes from wealthy households.

Jiang does not produce medicinal materials, if not enough, you can buy them from other forces. "

He didn't know what Yang Lin needed so many good medicines for, so he didn't ask any more questions, but just tried to solve the problem.

This attitude is very comfortable.

"What about those belongings, how much is the total?"

It's not that Yang Lin doesn't care, it's that he doesn't have a clue in his heart. He doesn't even know how much tax a family needs to collect in this era.

At this moment, he could only pretend to know everything by heart and ask Chen Zixing.

Maybe it was because of what he did these days, which touched Chen Zixing's heart.

There was a strange change in the attitude of this garrison general who came from a poor family.

Yang Lin could feel that the other party had no intention of resisting, and would take the initiative to help him gather financial and military power.

For example, he had discovered earlier that Chen Zixing was recruiting soldiers wantonly, and went to various counties to preach the benefits of being a soldier, exempting them from taxation, distributing money and food, and paying compensation to the dead and wounded, etc., completely sparing no effort.

In just three days, 2 people joined the army, and many of them were strong and brave men.

Come to think of it, these people want to make contributions.

"The lower official has calculated that the total amount of silk is more than [-] million pieces, the silver is more than [-] million guan, and the food..."

"Hmm..." No matter how ignorant Yang Lin was about government affairs, he could still understand what the numbers represented. It felt like he had picked up a big treasure.

There is so much wealth in a mere Jiangdu County.

How many soldiers can this support?

Well, the numbers are too big to count.

Sui Emperor Yang Guang should have thought about moving the capital a long time ago.

This is too much preparation.

I don't know what he thinks, is it because living in the south is more comfortable than living in the north.

Anyway, Yang Lin didn't quite understand it.

In fact, raising soldiers is not all about money, most of them also depend on food.

It's easy to do without money, but it's over if you don't have food.

"How much food is there, and can it support one hundred thousand soldiers?"

This is what Yang Lin is most concerned about.

Chen Zixing's face was very strange, and he replied in a wooden voice: "Your Majesty, the amount of grain stored in Yangzhou's official warehouse is a bit large. There are a total of one thousand and three hundred cellars, and each cellar contains 8000 stones."

Yang Lin was stunned for a moment, and after quick calculations in his mind, he clapped his palms fiercely, let out a long breath, and said angrily, "Your people are fat, you are really people's fat."

There are a total of more than 800 million shi of grain. Under what circumstances, 100 million soldiers can eat for two years without doing anything.

If millions of people eat it, it is estimated that they can eat it for ten years.

If he raises 20 soldiers, he can not worry about food shortage for [-] years.

There is so much grain in Jiangdu County.

So, how many are the six granaries of the Sui Dynasty?

Ask if you don't understand.

"Where is Xingluo Cang, do you know how much food there is, can you hear it?"

"It's no secret. As the head of the six granaries, Xingluo granary is said to have more than 3000 grain cellars, three times more than ours."

Well, as long as Wagangzhai takes down Xingluocang, it will be a wave of fat, no wonder it has the momentum to sweep the world all at once.

With so much food, and then open the warehouse to release the food, the refugees from all over the world will flock to it, and they can all eat and drink freely.

It is not difficult to gather millions of soldiers in a short period of time.

"The Great Sui Dynasty was actually very rich."

Yang Lin sighed.

Unfortunately, it is not the people who are rich.

No matter how rich the country is, it has nothing to do with the common people. Children and daughters are sold everywhere, and starvation is everywhere.

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

This is a scene that will appear at the end of every dynasty.

I really can't blame the common people for being restless.

What Li Shimin said later, "Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize it" was not just moaning for nothing, but that he had seen a lot and experienced these things.

Therefore, only then feel it.

How rich was the Sui Dynasty?Later, after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, there was no need to worry about food or drink, and the prosperous age came immediately.

The first moment was rich and the world was rich, and all nations came to the dynasty, but the next moment, it collapsed very quickly and the dynasty collapsed.

The legacy left behind is enough to make Li Tang Dynasty wake up with a smile even in his dreams.

"So, I also got the first wave of bonuses."

Yang Lin wanted to laugh, but felt it was inappropriate.

Because, outside, there are still many ordinary people who cannot afford to eat.

"Let's open the warehouse and put out the food...

At the same time, it is announced that all regions will be exempted from taxation for three years, and land reclamation will be encouraged.

Moreover, as long as one member of the family is a soldier, it will be listed as an honored family and will be exempted from taxation for life.

During the service, pay wages, no, pay money...

Those who died in a powerful battle will be sympathized for life, and the family will benefit. "

What do I need so much money for?

At this time, it is impossible to be inferior to a bandit and a traitor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Zixing's eyes were red, and he suddenly bowed down.

Yang Lin accepted the 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 he was grateful to him for the land and the people.

"Go down."

After Yang Lin saw the warehouse, he lived in Jiangdu Palace with peace of mind.

Yangzhou civil and military officials, at this moment, seem to have completely forgotten about a certain sage, and have already set off on the road, and will soon arrive in Jiangdu.

And outside, not only in the city of Yangzhou, but also in the counties, all the people came out crying and laughing as if celebrating the new year.

There have never been so many people at any one moment.

The government releases food and has a benevolent government. Anyone who is not happy is a fool.

People's hearts are available.

What the common people need is actually very simple.

Gui Xiliang came back and reported that firecrackers had been set off inside and outside the city for three days.

Livelier than New Year's Eve.

Yang Lin didn't pay attention to this matter anymore.

At this time, he realized that he didn't have any capable people to use.

It is not a talent for running the army and governing politics.

After all, it was only a county, and the original team could basically handle it.

The main reason is that 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 come and hit you.

"I can't make big or small things. I can rely on me alone for big and small battles. That would be too miserable."

Therefore, Yang Lin decided to teach a few masters first, so that they will be useful in the future.

Chapter 329

Yang Lin looked at Gui Xiliang, looked up and down for a long time, and shook his head slowly until he saw the creeps on the other side's spine.

'no. '

In fact, he was more optimistic about this young man.

He is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his cultivation has reached the second-rate level, and his swordsmanship is quite good.

Especially with a good mind, many things can be handled easily and properly in his hands.

However, compared with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, the other party's talent is much worse.

His advantage is that he practiced martial arts earlier.

'In this case, it would be unrealistic to practice the true qi on the formula of longevity. If you practice it forcibly, not only will you not get improvement, but it will harm him instead. '

After thinking for a while, Yang Lin ordered: "You are practicing the Clear Water Kung Fu, your internal energy cultivation is already pretty good.

However, limited by aptitude, it is very difficult to break through the innate...

You might as well start from various aspects. It is also good to improve your combat power. In your free time, go to find Zhenzhen and learn plum blossom step and plum blossom boxing from her.

Don't look at it as just an ordinary outer martial art, if you practice it together with your inner martial arts, you can at least reach the point of both internal and external cultivation in advance, and the increase in combat power is considerable. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gui Xiliang beamed with joy.

He is a smart person, so he couldn't tell that Wei Zhenzhen's usual boxing style, although not very eye-catching, is actually very strong.

After only practicing for more than ten days, he is already in good shape and has greatly increased his strength.

Compared with the weak and weak appearance I saw before, it was completely different.

According to his judgment, the opponent's force is not weaker than that of the second bamboo disciple in the gang, and he can be a small leader in the bamboo flower gang.

How long has it been.

You know, she hasn't practiced her internal skills yet.

It's simply unbelievable that one can reach such a level just by relying on the physical body alone.

"How is your master?"

"It still doesn't work. At present, only Fengzhutang intends to join. According to my observation, the master still has some kind of connection with Li Zitong. He may not have confidence in the current situation in Yangzhou. Wait for the subordinate to go back and persuade him."

Gui Xiliang looked embarrassed, but there was actually one thing he didn't say.
