Chapter 465

Time flies. At the end of April, the reconstruction of Luoyang will be smoother after Tian Feng's joining. You know, some people describe Tian Feng as a person with "good and even talent". In terms of overall control and details, Lou GUI and Zao can't compare. When he first came here, he was unwilling to do so. However, after Huangfu Chaobo came to Luoyang, he was very respectful. As long as Huangfu Chaobo was in Luoyang, he would ask Tian Feng for advice on all matters. Even when Huangfu Chaobo was not in Luoyang, his subordinates would discuss with Tian Feng about any indecisive matters. This kind of respect is very different from Tian Feng's depression in Jizhou .

What's more, as long as Tian Feng's proposal and Huangfu Chaobo think it's feasible, they will arrange people to resolutely carry it out. From the performance point of view, Tian Feng is just a supervisor, but in fact, he is the first person under the real Taishou. Day long month long, let Tian Feng very enjoy this kind of ability to play life. Zaozhi, who went to Chenliu to sign the treaty, has also returned to Luoyang and brought back 500000 stone grains from Chenliu.

After a month's adjustment, Huang Zhong has finished adjusting the number of soldiers in Luoyang army. Seeing that Luoyang's grain has increased by more than two million stones, and that there is still two million gold in hand, Huangfu Chaobo simply asked Huang Zhong to make a thorough adjustment to the whole group of soldiers. He was ready to demobilize all the soldiers below grade C, and all the soldiers were only above grade C. what's more, grade C soldiers were designated as guards by Huangfu Chaobo During the war, the soldiers were mainly stationed in the counties and unimportant passes, while the soldiers of grade B were classified as soldiers, and all the soldiers of Grade A were mainly trained to attack the legendary elite soldiers of hundred battles, even the iron blooded soldiers.

However, after such a large-scale adjustment, Huangfu Chaobo was shocked when he saw the number of soldiers and horses Huang Zhong sent and the amount of money and food consumed each month. In addition to Luoshen town and Longhua Town, there are 109 troops and 22 schools under the command of Huangfu Chaobo, with a total of more than 120000 troops and horses. The monthly consumption of grain and grass is as high as 200000 stone and 20000 gold.

"Brother, you... Are you mistaken, 120000 soldiers, how can there be so many soldiers? Besides, 200000 stones of grain will be consumed every month. Are you sure? " Huangfu Chaobo stammered;

"young master, I will guarantee with my head. This number is already the most conservative force." Huang Zhong opened the map of Luoyang and explained it to Huangfu Chaobo, Tian Feng, Lou GUI and Zaozhi one by one. "Look, there are five counties around Luoyang under the rule of Luoyang, four of which are self garrisoned by our army. Plus sishuiguan, there are five city passes. I only have 3000 garrisons, a total of 15000 people, including two soldiers from Hangu pass If hulaoguan is equipped with the same forces, there will be a total of 22000. After the reorganization of Luoyang City, there will be 7000 personal guards of general Dian, 15000 senior soldiers, 30000 ordinary soldiers, 5000 soldiers of the first naval school, and 15000 guards for the next few counties. In addition, Luoshen town is also included Five thousand people, five thousand cavalry and five thousand soldiers, a total of fifteen thousand. The total number is 124000. So

Huangfu Chaobo touched his forehead and said, "brother, do you mean that the troops are far from enough?"

"Yes, according to the normal situation, our troops are far from enough. For example, Luoyang City has only 52000 troops, far from being able to cope with the invasion of foreign enemies. There is also the county seat, three thousand soldiers are not enough even to guard the city taxi soldiers, just because the county seat has not been restored, so at present, barely enough. Then there is Longhua town. Now it has begun to build Baihu town. The two towns and two passes have only 10000 troops, which is far from enough. If we really want to have enough troops, Luoyang and the surrounding counties alone must add another 20000 guards and 30000 soldiers. What's more, there are still four counties in Henan, Goushi, Xincheng and Liangxian that need to be attacked, and there will certainly be soldiers and soldiers lost, so tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers and civilian men need to be recruited. "

After listening to Huang Zhong's words, Huangfu Chaobo turns to Tian Feng and Lou GUI, and they nod to agree. Tian Feng said: "according to the minimum number of garrisons in the county seat, there should be at least 5000 garrisons in the county town, and there should be at least 20000 garrisons in the county town. Other troops should be counted as mobile troops. For example, there are 30000 guards in Yecheng, nearly 100000 troops in the camp outside the city, and about 50000 taxi soldiers in other counties and cities. At present, although there are less than four states in hanjizhou, there are nearly 400000 to 500000 soldiers. "

"Well, we can't keep food and grass for long. Now the annual grain income is less than 500000 stone and the money is less than 100 gold. How can we maintain so many taxi drivers?"

"Lord, don't worry, the low grain income is mainly due to the fact that the area under our control is basically restored this year. In addition, there are only five cities in the whole 21 cities of Luoyang in our hands. When the grain is harvested in the second half of this year, the grain income of Luoyang will definitely exceed 1.5 million stone. Even if we can't maintain the military expenditure, we don't need too much subsidy from the prefectural government. Tax is the same, not to mention the surrounding counties, even Luoyang's tax is pitiful. In fact, if Luoyang wants to change this predicament, it will be enough to keep hundreds of thousands of soldiers rich for a year if it takes back the thirteen cities of Guandong. " Zao Zhidao;

"we can't be in a hurry. We haven't fully developed several counties around Luoyang, let alone expect Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to return those counties to us." Huangfu Chaobo shook his head;Tian Feng listened to a few people's words, said: "in fact, adults can change the tax system!"

"Well?"

"Change the tax system?"

"What do you mean, sir? How to change the tax system? " Huangfu Chaobo was puzzled;

"when Feng was in Jizhou, he heard that in order to maintain the hundreds of thousands of troops in Bohai, Yuan Shao ordered to change the grain tax system. Instead of paying grain according to the number of fields in villages and towns, he paid grain according to the number of population, with an average of 5 jin of grain per person per month. In this way, it is impossible for villages and towns under each county to underreport or conceal the situation." As a hostile force, Tian fengna was very concerned about Yuan Shao's situation, so when Huangfu Chaobo asked, he could answer it.

"What about business tax? How should business tax be changed? " Huangfu Chaobo then asked;

"I haven't heard of any change in business tax." Tian Fengdao;

"well, then order Luoyang to change the grain tax from farmland tax to capitation tax. It's the end of April, and there are still two months to go before the grain harvest in the first half of the year. Let's start in July! " Huangfu Chaobo Road, now also had to be like this.

"I'll take orders!" Jujube only a listen, immediately happy forward to receive orders.
