157. Chapter 156 Strategy for the Five Elements of Summer Solstice (four thousand)(2/2)
Grain is completely linked.
The salary of the military personnel is not fixed, but it all depends on the total grain output of the year, including the state's tax revenue. The salary is based on the position, which can also be called the profit sharing in proportion.
Its proportions are clear to the people and are at the core.
This method allows scholars to share joys and sorrows with the people. If the country is poor and the people are poor, the scholars will also be poor, and vice versa...
In addition to farming, Feng Yun also set hunting rules, hunting zones, and seasons. It can also be called raising mountain animals and educating the people.
It also set up a market place and set a clear minimum price for goods to allow citizens to develop a sense of trading and circulate goods...
This is Feng Yun's Five Elements Policy "Mu Ce: Farming and Hunting Time", the way to nourish the country!
Feng Yun knew very well that only when the interests of the people are bound to the interests of the gentry, and the interests of the gentry and the people are bound to the interests of the country.
Only the nobles will respect the people and serve the people well.
The country will also protect the nation and people and facilitate their interests.
"Da da da!" In Xunyang City, a soldier galloped on horseback.
"Step aside!"
There is a bronze talisman on his waist, which is important. All the people around him gave way and did not dare to stop him.
"Is the national grain count out?" the people of Baiyue were discussing.
And this armored soldier stopped on horseback in front of Xunyang Palace.
He was running quickly, holding a roll of animal skin in his hand.
"The national food is out!"
Fengyun lived in the main hall of Xunyang, looking at the medical books he had received in the past three months from early spring to summer solstice, and nodded slightly.
Hearing the sound outside the palace, Feng Yun motioned to Zou Yan who was reading on the side.
Zou Yan stood up.
Feng Yun put down the medical book in his hand, and there were only two words "Zhu You" in it.
Next to "Zhu You", there are two books, "Huangdi Neijing" and "Shen Nong's Materia Medica".
On "Zhu You", the literary spirit is billowing, and with a gentle pressure from Feng Yun, it returns to simplicity.
"Master Feng!" As soon as the armored soldier entered the palace, he half-knelt in front of Feng Yun, holding up the animal skin in his hand.
"Master Feng, you did not disappoint. The amount of national food was astonishing. The king personally went to the scene to take notes. Everyone present was stunned and laughed endlessly."
"Please also ask Mr. Feng to take a look."
Zou Yan stepped forward to take the animal skin and handed it to Feng Yun.
Feng Yun took a look - three hundred thousand stones!
"Master, when you go to various countries as envoys, you can't get 10,000 from Han, 5,000 from Tong, 5,000 from Chu, 10,000 from Yangyue, a total of 30,000 shi, but we have 300,000 shi for our own cultivation!"
Zou Yan was amazed and felt that Feng Yun was too tired from traveling to various countries as envoys.
Feng Yun smiled.
"You, this is not the way food is viewed in this country. Could it be that you don't want to eat this food?"
Feng Yun muttered: "Look, in the first three years of Baiyue, due to the policies I implemented, I received half of the national tax, and after that I got two out of ten."
"That is to say, this batch of grain can bring the national treasury 150,000 dan."
Zou Yan nodded, but 150,000 stones is a lot. I have never seen Mr. Tong hesitate for so long for five thousand stones...
Feng Yun picked up a pen and wrote down the tax revenue under the animal skin - 150,000 shi.
Write again.
He also explained to Zou Yan: "In a country, the needs of the people do not need to be provided by the country, but the needs of soldiers must be divided into military pay."
"Military pay, one soldier is worth two stones a year."
"We in Baiyue have ten thousand armored soldiers in Ai, twenty thousand armored soldiers in Yao, and tens of thousands more in other places. They can be combined into a standing army of 40,000 armored soldiers. Their annual requirement is 80,000 stone, which is indispensable.
.”
"Now from 150,000 dan, only 70,000 dan are left."
Zou Yannana.
"Raising soldiers also consumes too much food, but it is indispensable."
Without soldiers, Baiyue would not be able to rest safely.
Feng Yun nodded, and then said: "After this year, Baiyue's troops will need to be cut down. Baiyue has 280,000 people and 20,000 standing troops, which is already a lot."
At this time, Feng Yun was very clear about the standing army of the Kingdom of Zhou Li, which was one in thirty. In other words, one out of every thirty citizens needed to join the army to maintain a country.
Take one of the fifteen Baiyue, which is already twice the size of the Kingdom of Zhou Li. Baiyue was also born of bravery, otherwise its people would have been in mourning.
"Excluding military pay, according to Baiyue's national policy, one of them is for the royal family, the third is for the salary of the nobles, and the fifth is for the national treasury."
"So, the national treasury actually only has thirty-five thousand dan left."
"And these are not unused, they are reserved. In other words, they will be slowly consumed as policies are implemented."
"Now that you are looking at the 30,000 shi, the food obtained from outside, do you still think it is too little?"
After Feng Yun recorded it, he sealed it with a seal.
Zou Yan on the side wrinkled his face.
"What a country needs is really..."
Based on this calculation, the 300,000 dan earned from farming was completely insufficient.
"Master, what can thirty-five thousand stones be used for?"
You know, Feng Yunke is still building cities everywhere, and the expenses are countless.
Feng Yun handed over the covered animal skin and said to the armor soldier who sent the message: "Take it to the Agriculture Department quickly and ask it to arrange taxation, salary, and treasury as soon as possible without delay."
"promise!"
Soldier A received the order and left with the order.
Zou Yan said: "Master Feng, why don't you transfer some salary, especially the salary from the royal family..."
Feng Yun shook his head.
"You can't mess with the rules, especially as the one who makes the rules. Whatever they are, they are the same. You can't do it in vain. Otherwise, the effect will be ineffective, people's hearts will be wandering, and the country will be ruined."
"Alas..." After Feng Yun dealt with the grain order, he took the animal skin and wrote down the instructions for summer sowing immediately after harvesting grain in the early summer.
"There is still too little arable land. The country was in chaos before it was too late, and the people were worried. Now that we have achieved results, it is time to expand farming."
"But you can't just farm and forget about hunting. Hunting is something without fighting, and it's the key to practicing martial arts."
"If the people are brave, then in wartime all the people can join forces and jointly destroy the enemy, so as to show the deterrence of Baiyue and prevent the enemy from invading."
This is the "Gold Policy: Act with Soldiers" in Feng Yun's Five Elements Policy; the gold master's edge... is the way to deter a country.
It is interdependent with "Mu Ce·Farming and Hunting Sometimes".
If there are soldiers to deter, the country will be safe, the country will be safe and the people will be able to grow crops, and there will be soldiers to grow grain and nourish the country. Together with other strategies, it will be in harmony with the alternation of the five elements, interdependence, and endless life...
"Da da da!"
"Report!"
Feng Yun nodded, and the guard outside the door gave way.
The first armored soldier hurriedly came to report: "Jun Feng... the leader of the Bao clan, died..."
Chapter completed!
