"I think Mr. Kong Ming and Guo Jijiu must know about military ranks and pay."
"Fellow Daoist Xie Xuan must also be very good at it."
Guan Hai knows his position.
The strongest one under Cheng Mu? Indeed.
But the strongest person only has the strongest force.
In fact, like Zhang Wanlong, he is a reckless talent.
General.
Charge into battle is his strength.
But when it comes to running the army, we still need to learn more.
But Zhuge Liang is different from Guo Jia.
One is a prime minister and the other is a counselor.
In terms of intelligence and multiple perspectives in thinking about problems, they must have surpassed Guan Hai by a hundred streets.
Not to mention Xie Xuan.
As the supreme commander of the Beifu soldiers.
The Confucian general Xie Xuan can also be said to be a talented general capable of both literary and military skills.
Leave aside other aspects.
Xie Xuan should be the most powerful one under Cheng Mu.
Why?
Zhuge Liang understands internal affairs and strategy, but he is still a little behind in leading troops to fight. Guo Jia is a genius in terms of resourcefulness, but he cannot lead troops to fight.
Guan Hai, Hua Mulan, Zhao Yun and others.
At present, he is still a general and can only charge into battle.
But Xie Xuan is really different.
He can not only be a commander in charge of the central army, but also make strategic plans.
He can also take the lead and go into battle to kill the enemy.
In terms of multi-purpose functions, Xie Xuan is the best.
Perhaps the only regret is that Xie Xuan has not yet joined.
Otherwise, it would not be Guan Hai's turn to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies.
Sixty points of internal affairs and strategy were added to Guan Hai by the system after he was promoted to a ghost.
In terms of intelligence, he is definitely not as good as the educated Xie Xuan.
In fact, Cheng Mu had always seen it very clearly.
Is SSS-level Guan Hai very strong? Are SSR's Zhuge Liang, Hua Mulan and others the most powerful existences?
No no no.
China has a history of five thousand years, and every period has its corresponding Son of Destiny.
Not to mention Qin Emperor, Han Wu, Tang Zong and Song Zu.
Under their command, there are also those wandering forces in the wild.
Gui Gu, Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang, Huo Guang, Li Cunxiao, Huo Qubing, Wu Mingche, Shi Dakai...
Even Liu Yu, Cao Cao and others who had just died were not mediocre.
Among the talents of King Xun Yu, Tan Daoji was even more powerful and at the level of a master.
With so many strong men competing on the same stage, no one can be sure that they will be invincible.
Cheng Mu's advantage lies in being able to develop the strength to compete with these strong men.
Zhang Wanlong and Liu Yidao are representatives of his self-trained generals.
He is different from other players.
The remaining players still have to rely on the indigenous people or the forces after their arrival.
And he, Cheng Mu, already has the strength to arm-wrestle with various overlords and kings.
As for whether or not we can break it off, we can only know after trying it.
"Well, let's start with military pay."
Cheng Mu said: "For the rest, I will refer to Xie Xian's opinion after he comes back."
Xie Xuan is still in Yunzhou.
Guan Hai had just returned from Bingzhou.
The sand tribe retreated.
The moment he appeared, tens of thousands of sand tribesmen fled.
The name Guan Hai has long been effective in curing children's night cries among the Sha tribe in Beidi.
Moreover, this invasion of the Sand tribe should be a tentative attack on Qiu Feng.
There is no strong person.
They are all little guys.
At this time, Li Shishi, Cheng Mu's biggest logistics manager, also walked in.
She reported to Cheng Muchun: "Sir, we now have 1.8 million gold, 4.6 million silver, and 300,000 copper coins in the city!"
"Now the total daily food consumption of each major legion is 100 units."
"Of course, this also includes the rations for the war horses."
"As for the people in the city, they need to consume 500 units of food every day."
"So my lord, the food in our hands has begun to be scarce."
Tianqi City currently has a population of 200,000.
The consumption of food rations for two hundred thousand people is a huge amount.
Two hundred thousand people, with an average of eighty-two meters per person per day, that's 160,000 kilograms.
One unit of grain is 100kg, and 160,000 jins is exactly 800 units.
This number actually illustrates a very scary point.
Cheng Mu had only 5,000 men under his command and needed 100 units of food and grass a day.
As for the 200,000 people in Tianqi City, they also need 800 units of food per day.
In other words, when Cheng Mu had 50,000 people under his command, his daily ration consumption would exceed the ration consumption of 200,000 people.
All of them are veritable big eaters.
There is no way, they are all special units.
He is strong, so he eats a lot.
The food shortage that Li Shishi mentioned was actually because Fan Li took part of it and sold it during his trading days.
Now that the country is in war, the price of food has skyrocketed.
Don't look at the two million grains Cheng Mu was rewarded when he upgraded the third-level town, which is a lot of food.
The caravan sells part of it for the daily consumption of the army and the daily consumption of the city's population.
Now Apocalypse City is increasing its population every day.
Two hundred thousand is just a small starting point.
Moreover, the rations for the people and the army cannot only be rice.
100kg of grain is converted into 1 unit of grain. This 100kg refers to the lowest grade of rice.
As for meat, fish or other.
The conversion ratio is different.
50kg of fruit can be converted into one unit of grain.
30kg of fish can be converted into one unit of grain.
20kg of meat can also be converted into one unit of grain.
...
Therefore, although two million units of grain is a lot, it is converted into other types of food.
It's really a bit stretched.
The emperor's two million troops depleted Yangzhou and most of Yizhou.
Now more than 1.8 million of these two million troops have returned to their homeland, or have fallen into disgrace.
They consume food rations from various places.
In fact, every extra cent of ration consumption puts all the pressure on Cheng Mu.
Everything south of the river will be his territory, Cheng Mu.
If the people under the rule cannot afford to eat, who can they turn to?
Why don't you find him, Cheng Mu?
Now Cheng Mu only needs to provide food and drink for the 200,000 people in Tianqi City, but what happens next?
So everything requires more preparation.
"Send a message to Fan Li and ask him not to sell any more food in the city."
"Sales of farm tools and items to Yongzhou and Sizhou were massive, prompting them to quickly resume production."
Cheng Mu could already predict it.
The food crisis that will arise if you unify the country by yourself.
Yongzhou has never recovered since the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Yunzhou has been invaded by barbarians and is now in chaos again.
Food shortage.
Bingzhou was pushed back more than half by Xia Houyuan, and the barbarians from the north came to fight with the autumn wind.
Food shortage.
Yangzhou and Yizhou were depleted by two million troops and were short of food.
There is only Qingzhou under Cheng Mu's rule, and Sizhou which has just recovered some strength.
Not so embarrassed.
"No wonder every time a new country is established, there will be a period of prosperity when production resumes."
Cheng Mu finally knew.
One of the consequences of war is famine.
But now, there is no time for Cheng Mulai to take a good rest.
It created a prosperous era.
After he founded the country, the national war was about to begin.
When the time comes when he is surrounded by powerful enemies, how can he be allowed to farm with peace of mind.
"Send the order to discover the talents of Nongsang."
The sense of urgency in Cheng Mu's heart returned. He really had too little time.
Land, he has.
But what about people? Resuming production requires manpower and time!
Thinking of this, Cheng Mu wished he could go back in time.
Guan Hai could see his worry.
He immediately offered his advice: "Lord, we can go and rob the emperor!"
The emperor is rich, this is a truth that everyone knows.
However, at this moment, Cheng Mu was shaking his head.
"Now the emperor still has one million Lieyan troops under his command, relying only on Liangzhou and Yanzhou."
"The emperor has no food left in his hands."
Liangzhou, Yanzhou.
It is not a major grain-producing state.
Being self-sufficient is pretty good.
Want to support the emperor's millions of troops again?
