Otherworldly Castle Era

Vol 2 Chapter 61: lack of food

   Chen Ping said this, his face became unsightly, and his brows wrinkled deeply. He looked at the surrounding environment and did not continue to explain.

   Yang Song understood, this is not easy to say in front of so many people, so he no longer asks this question, but asks: "How much does the Intelligence Bureau consume food and grass every month?"

Chen Ping made a rough calculation in his heart, and immediately replied: "Going back to the Lord, the Intelligence Bureau needs 100,000 catties of grain and grass this month, and 80,000 catties next month. From now on, we will reduce 20,000 catties every month until we need 10,000 catties every month Up to the catty!"

   "So little?" Yang Song was very surprised. Is this enough food to consume more than 15,000 Nanbans? Yang Song immediately asked what he wanted.

  Chen Ping continued to explain: "Of the more than 5,000 Nanbans, half of them are boys and girls. The ministers will be able to select them in a few days, and the rest can be handed over to Director Yang!"

   It turned out to be able to reduce the demand by half immediately. It is no wonder that as long as such a small amount of food and grass, as for why the consumption of food and grass can be reduced by another 20,000 catties each month, Chen Ping did not say, Yang Song did not ask!

   Because after this meeting is over, he will ask clearly and plainly at that time. There is no rush now, there are reports from other departments!

   After Yang Ren from the Post Insurance Bureau and Chen Ping finished their report, they then reported: "Your Majesty Qi, 5,000 militiamen have been mobilized in this war without loss. These militiamen have been awarded the collective third-class military service by the King!"

   After Yang Song nodded his head to confirm, Yang Ren continued: "It consumes 500,000 catties of rations, 10,000 crossbow arrows, 12,000 arrows, 30,000 arrows, 100 catties of golden sore medicine, bandages...!"

Yang Song did not care about the consumption of other materials. He felt scalp numb when he heard of the consumption of food and grass. This was only a month, and it was only 500,000 catties, and it was just military rations. If this continues for a few months, Xia Guo The rest of the people can only be starved to death!

Xia’s army has military expenditures, and military rations are purchased from civilians or civilian warehouses with military expenditures, and most of them are directly purchased from civilian warehouses. Without Yang Song’s approval, it is not allowed to purchase food directly from civilians. !

This is a new model that separates military rations from civilian rations. Although most of the time it’s a form or flow from the left to the right, it seems troublesome, but it’s actually a procedural and systematic management. Method, this is the so-called scientific management...

   Another point is to facilitate Yang Song's control over the army and finances!

for example.

   There is grain and grass in the warehouse, but it was purchased by the army, but this is only a paper result. In fact, the grain and grass remain unchanged in this warehouse and are still under the unified jurisdiction of Yang Zhong.

The daily consumption of the army is raised from these warehouses, and the food used by other departments is also raised from this warehouse. It is just that the remaining figures of each department will be reduced on the account. Until the consumption is exhausted, all departments must be renewed. Bought!

   And Yang Ren, who manages the warehouse, took the money to the people to buy food from the people, or buy food from the treasury. This is another cycle!

   There are only so many taxes in Xia Country every quarter, and all departments need development and consumption. Therefore, Yang Song and Qian Liang need to negotiate with each department at the meeting to determine the amount of funds, materials...

   This is management. A complete set of procedures is complicated and effective, and it is too complicated to fit on a bookshelf...

   And the government system established by Yang Song is to better manage, reconcile all aspects of development, make a plan, and manage effectively, so as not to mess up the society.

   For another example, in this war, a total of 800,000 catties were consumed in one month, 500,000 catties of military rations, and 300,000 catties for the rest.

  The consumption of 500,000 catties of military rations is the consumption of the militiamen, fleets, guard battalions, and the prisoners before they arrived in the country during the war.

   Three hundred thousand catties were consumed by Yang Zhong and Chen Ping after they took over these prisoners!

   In fact, only 800,000 catties of grain and grass were consumed in total. As for why we need to distinguish military rations from other rations, this is the division of power, resources, and finances among various departments.

   Therefore, Yang Zhongcai said that he realized that the war consumes a huge amount of food and grass, and Yang Ren will re-report the specific figures.

Eight hundred thousand catties of grain and grass, what a huge figure, this is only one month’s consumption, and the next 650,000 catties will be consumed every month. The reduction is only the consumption of the militia, and nothing else. Reduce!

During the mobilization of the militia, all food was officially supplied. After the dissolution, this part is not counted. However, the 30,000 natives, large and small, only consume monthly and have no income. If this happens for a long time, there will be a deficit, or in other words, now There is already a deficit!

   But in order to increase grain production in the future, struvite must be mined. Mining requires manpower, and manpower consumes the grain. Before the actual increase in grain production, all this requires investment. This is an investment process.

   But now, the investment seems to be too large, and it is about to cause a shortage of the capital chain, and this part of the deficit can only be made up from other aspects!

   But Yang Song does not want to reduce the recruitment of the people, this is the foundation of Xia Guo's development! He also didn't want to abandon these cheap labor that was so hard to come by!

   But, there is only so much food, what should I do?

   Just as Yang Song was in distress, Changsun Sheng stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Chen suggested to open a business route with the north immediately and buy food from outside!"

   Yang Song immediately brightened his eyes after hearing this suggestion!

   Yes, there is no food in China, but there is it in foreign countries. The long farming career has made him forget that there is such an effective method as trade!

   Some time ago, Chen Ping asked Chen Ping to select the manpower and prepare the caravan to facilitate the inquiries about the intelligence of the northern local civilization. I did not expect that it could be used for real trade now!

   Yang Song hurriedly asked Chen Ping, "Chen Ping, is your caravan ready?"

Chen Ping stood up again and replied: "Back to the king, UU reading www.uukanshu.com. During this period, the minister has selected suitable personnel, but due to the war, these personnel have been allocated for his use, and they are now available. Reassemble!"

   "Okay, very good! Chen Ping, you will gather these people immediately and prepare to form a caravan!" Yang Song turned to Yang Zhong again and said: Yang Zhong, your business bureau has come to the task! "

   Yang Zhong is in charge of administration, and he has a business bureau responsible for business development and planning, but he has always been in charge of this domestic market, and he has no sense of existence!

   "Yes, the minister will definitely make a list of the missing materials, so that the people from the Chamber of Commerce can coordinate with Director Chen!"

   Yang Zhong knew what he was going to do next, and he immediately stood up and promised that he had just received an honorary medal. It was the moment of high spirits and energy!

   After the biggest food problem has a solution, Yang Song feels relaxed. He decides to wait and see the caravan’s harvest. If there is more food then...

   Next, other departments then reported on their situation during the war. Except for the Military Industry Bureau which reported overtime, everything else was normal!

   Yang Song finally summed it up in his heart.

   This short one-month war has consumed 60% of the supplies Xia Guo has accumulated over the past few years!
