Three Kingdoms Online Games: Battle for Hegemony

Chapter 465: Tian Feng proposes to reform the tax system

Time flew fast, and soon the end of April, Luoyang's reconstruction was smoother after Tian Feng joined. You should know that some people describe Tian Feng as a person with "good and peaceful talent", no matter in terms of overall control or details, They are not comparable to Lou Gui and Zao. Although I was reluctant when I first came, but after Huangfu Chaobo saddled his horse, he was respectful and respectful. As long as Huangfu Chaobo was in Luoyang, Tian Feng would be consulted on all matters. Anything undecided will be discussed with Tian Fenglai. This respect and respect is quite different from Tian Feng's frustration when he was in Jizhou.

Not only that, as long as Tian Feng puts forward the suggestions, as long as Huangfu Chaobo thinks it is feasible, he will arrange for someone to resolutely implement them. From the performance, Tian Feng is just a urging post, but in fact, he is already a veritable prefect. The first person under. For a long time, Tian Feng enjoys the life of this kind of talent. Zaoyi, who went to Chenliu to sign the covenant, has also returned to Luoyang, and once again brought back 500,000 shi of grain from Chenliu.

After a month of adjustments, Huang Zhong has finished adjusting the soldiers of the Luoyang Army. Seeing that the food in Luoyang suddenly increased by more than two million stones, and there were still two million gold in his hand for support, Huangfu swiped his superb brush and asked Huang Zhong to make a thorough adjustment to the soldiers under his command. Prepare to be in place at one time, dismiss all soldiers with qualifications below C level, and keep all soldiers and horses only at level C and above. Not only that, C-level soldiers were identified as defensive by Huangfu Chaobo, mainly stationed in counties and unimportant passes. Class-level soldiers are classified as combat soldiers, and all A-level soldiers are emphatically trained and prepared to attack the legendary soldiers of the hundred battles and even iron-blooded soldiers.

However, after such a large-scale adjustment, Huangfu Chaobo was shocked when he saw the number of soldiers and horses sent by Huang Zhong and the amount of money and food consumed each month. With the addition of Luoshen Town and Longhua Town, the entire Huangfu Chaobo’s army has 22 schools under the command of 109 units, and the total number has reached a staggering 120,000. The monthly consumption of grain and grass is as high as 200,000 shi, and two dollars. Million gold.

"Brother, you, you, you... are you mistaken, one hundred and twenty thousand soldiers and horses, how come there are so many soldiers and horses? And every month the food consumes 200,000 stone, you are sure that there is nothing wrong ?" Huangfu said stutteringly;

"My son, I will use Xiangshang as a guarantee at the end. This number is already the most conservative force." With that, Huang Zhong opened the map of Luoyang and explained to Huangfu Chaobo, Tianfeng, Lou Gui, and Zaozhi one by one; "Look, everyone, there are now five county towns around Luoyang under the rule of Luoyang, four of which are self-garrisoned by our troops, plus the Baoshui Pass, a total of five city passes, I have only placed three thousand guards. There are a total of 15,000 people. Among them, there are 10,000 soldiers in Hangu Pass, two schools and 10,000 infantrymen, and 1,000 in cavalry. If Hulao Pass is equipped with the same force, there are 22,000 in total. Luoyang After the reorganization of the city, the generals guarded 7,000 people, 15,000 high-level soldiers, 30,000 ordinary soldiers, 5,000 soldiers from the first school of the Navy, and defenders for the next few counties. There are 15,000 people in total, plus 5,000 in Luoshen Town. Longhua Town plans to have 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantrymen, for a total of 15,000. The total is 124,000. So. ..."

Huangfu Chaobo touched his forehead and said, "Brother means that the current strength is far from insufficient?"

"Yes. Normally speaking, our current military strength is far from insufficient. For example, Luoyang City has only 52,000 soldiers and horses, which is far from being able to cope with foreign invasions. There are also counties with 3,000 soldiers. There are not enough soldiers to defend the city, just because the current counties have not been restored, so it is barely enough for now. Then there is Longhua Town, which has begun to build Baihu Town, and there are only 10,000 soldiers in the two towns and two passes. Horses are also far from enough. If you really want to have sufficient troops, Luoyang and surrounding counties alone must add another 20,000 defenders and 30,000 soldiers. Besides, there are Henan, Fengshi, Xincheng and The four county towns of Liangxian need to be attacked, and there will definitely be losses of soldiers, so tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers and civilians have to be recruited."

After hearing Huang Zhong's words, Huangfu Chaobo turned his head and looked at Tian Feng and Lou Gui, who also nodded in agreement. Tian Feng said: "According to the county town’s at least five thousand guards, the county town must have at least about 20,000 guards, and other soldiers must be counted as mobile soldiers. For example, there are 30,000 guards in Yecheng, and there are nearly 30,000 guards outside the city. An army of 100,000, plus the other counties and towns each had about 50,000 soldiers. Although Han Jizhou has less than four states, there are nearly 400 to 500,000 soldiers."

"Uh, then we can't maintain food and grass for long. Now the annual food income is less than 500,000 shi, and the money is less than 100 gold. How can we maintain so many soldiers."

"The lord can rest assured that the low grain income is mainly due to the fact that the aliens in the area under our control have only begun to recover this year, and in the entire 21st City of Luoyang, only five cities are in our hands. During the grain harvest in the second half of this year , Luoyang’s food income will definitely exceed 1.5 million shi. Even if it cannot maintain military expenditures, there is no need for too much subsidy from the prefecture. The tax is the same. Not to mention the surrounding counties, even Luoyang’s taxes are pitifully small. Yes, in fact, if Luoyang wants to change this predicament, as long as the Kantong 13 cities are recovered, it will be enough to maintain hundreds of thousands of soldiers and soldiers a year of rich food." Zao Yi said;

"That can't be anxious, we are not even the counties around Luoyang fully developed, let alone Yuan Shao Yuan Shu will return those counties to us." Huangfu Chaobo shook his head and said;

After listening to several people, Tian Feng said: "In fact, adults can change the tax system!"

"Ok?"

"Change the tax system?"

"What does the gentleman mean? How to change the tax system?" Huangfu Chaobo was puzzled;

“When Feng was in Jizhou, I heard that Yuan Shao, in order to maintain Bohai’s hundreds of thousands of troops, ordered a change in the grain tax system. The grain tax system was changed from the number of villages and towns to the number of people. The average person is 5 kilograms of grain per month. It is impossible for the subordinate villages and towns to have underreported and hidden reports." As a hostile force, Tian Feng was very concerned about Yuan Shao's situation, so Huangfu Chaobo asked him and he could answer it.

"What about the commercial tax? How should the commercial tax be changed?" Huangfu Chaobo asked after hearing it;

"Commercial tax has not heard of changes." Tian Fengdao;

"Well, then, order Luoyang to change the grain tax from land tax to head tax. It is now at the end of April, and there are still two months before the first half of the grain harvest, so let's start from July!" Huangfu Chaobodao, now he has no choice but to do this.

"The next official leads the orders!" Zao Yi immediately stepped forward and took orders happily.
