Chapter 125 Lieutenant General and Superintendent Order
The economic base determines the superstructure. Neither Lin You, the emperor of Wanchang, nor Yunlan, the commander-in-chief of the mountain, would naturally say it, but this does not mean that they do not understand this fact in their hearts, even if they do not know the academic knowledge of economics.
Sexual arguments and statements, but they can simply understand "economy" as money. This is of course wrong in later generations, but in the current Wei Dynasty, it is basically the same thing.
Money, regardless of whether it is made or silver, as long as it is an exchange item of equal value, it has its own unique exchange function. It is the foundation of any imperial hegemony. This simple truth is not understood by anyone in a high position.
, Lin You is like this, Yun Lan is like this too
The Yun family is very good at making money, but they can also spend money. The 200,000 troops in Shanxi and Hebei provinces under the control of the Yun family are not those heavenly soldiers and generals who drink wind and smoke.
What you get inside, including what you ride on your buttocks...etc., these all cost a lot of money to get.
And now the emperor issued an imperial decree. Although the Yun family's army has six more guards, this actually weakens the Yun family. Why do you say that? The Yun family originally had an army of 200,000, while the Zhou family had 150,000.
, the Leng family has 120,000, and the Jiang family has 100,000. Now that the emperor has come, the Yun, Zhou, Leng, and Jiang families have each added more than 30,000 people. Relatively speaking, the Yun family has suffered a loss in terms of proportion.
In the military establishment of the Wei Dynasty, the guard was the most important part. The general guard was led by the guard commander and had jurisdiction over 5 thousand-household stations, with a total of 5,600 people; the thousand-household station was led by Qianhu, and had jurisdiction over 10 hundred-household stations, with a total of 5,600 people.
1120 people. The Baihu Office is led by Baihu, and has jurisdiction over 2 general banners, with a total of 112 people; the general banner has 5 small banners, with a total of 50 people; and the small banners have 10 people.
With more than 30,000 soldiers, this is not difficult for the Yun family. Among the military households of the Yun family, there are still a large number of young and middle-aged people who have not entered the army but are engaged in production in various industries of the Yun family. These
People originally existed as a supplementary force in case of losses during the war, so they also needed to participate in military training in their spare time. From this group of people, the 33,600 people in the establishment could be randomly selected.
But the key to the problem is still the word money.
A war knife made of medium-to-high quality material costs two ounces of money, which is two taels of silver. According to the conclusion reached by Yun Zheng before, it is equivalent to 1,300 yuan in later generations. It is really not cheap. In addition, light leather armor, chain armor,
The equipment of various types of armors such as Mingguang Armor, the deployment and maintenance of horses... etc. It is estimated that the first purchase of these materials requires at least 90 to 1 million pieces, plus each person consumes about 20 yuan per year in non-war situations.
Ten thousand dollars, the Yun family will invest about two million dollars in the first year
Sanbaolou, which has been operating in a prosperous area of Beijing for more than ten or twenty years, has the smoothest and safest medicinal route in Northeast China, but its total value is only two million yuan!
Because there are more than 30,000 new troops, the Yun family will attack half of the Sanbao Tower against them every year! And this is still considered a situation where there has been no war damage. What if there is a war damage? According to the Yun family's family philosophy
, the army must rely on non-stop warfare to maintain its combat effectiveness, so they will definitely not just feed Yingyang's army with good food and drink. As long as there is a war, they will definitely be forced to see blood, and then the battle losses will be
It’s inevitable—that is to say, it’s inevitable that the Yun family will lose money.
Ying Yangjun seems destined to become the knife in the hands of the Yun family that keeps bleeding the Yun family.
"Two million...we can still get this money..." Ning Wanting thought about it and said.
But her words were interrupted by Yun Lan in a low voice: "No, you can't pay for this." He closed his eyes: "Zheng'er said that he wants to take over this Ying Yang Guard. I agree in principle with this matter, but since
If he wants to lead Yingyang's army alone, then he can figure out how to deal with the expenses of Yingyang's army. I won't ask about this matter."
Ning Wanting was surprised: "How can he solve it?" In her opinion, Yunzheng has never shown even a little bit of talent when it comes to making money. Besides, doesn't he have no capital? Millions a year.
How can my son, who only has twenty dollars of pocket money every month, handle the expenses?
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Yun Lan's mouth: "Girl Yan wants to start a business partnership with Zheng'er... In addition, the Sanbao Building in the distant mountains is now under Zheng'er's name."
Ning Wanting was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "The Thirteenth Princess wants to do business with Zheng'er? What kind of business? The things she sells are all private goods of the royal family. How can Zheng'er and her be involved in the business?"
Go?... As for my uncle’s Sanbao Building being transferred to Zheng’er’s name, what’s going on? Oh my, I’m confused!”
Yun Lan opened her eyes and smiled very rarely: "Zheng'er plans to sell ironware to Southeast Asia and the West... Well, the ironware is not about weapons, but about farm tools."
Ning Wanting suddenly said "Oh", and Yun Lan continued: "As for the matter of Sanbao Tower in Yuanshan, it was not detailed in the summons, but I can rest assured that Yuanshan is doing things. Since he did this, he must be there.
It makes sense, you will naturally know this in the future.”
Ning Wanting nodded, but after thinking about it, she was still a little worried: "You can earn a million dollars a year by selling ironware to Southeast Asia?"
Yun Lan smiled brightly: "I'm not good at calculating these things. If you really want to find out, I'm afraid it would be better to ask the little girl from the Nangong family."
Ning Wanting also laughed: "That's right. I will send a letter to Guangzhou soon and ask Nangong girl how much money can be made from overseas trade."
Yun Lan nodded and muttered: "Now that the imperial edict has been issued, he will arrive in Yanjing in a few days. I don't know when the soldiers of this new army will be selected. What will the Emperor do?"
Bian only said that the Sixth Army would be gathered in one place for training, but did not give the training location... It is better to do this sooner rather than later. Let's select the people first, and we will talk about the rest later. Since it is the Sixth Army that is gathering
After training, the quality of these soldiers must not be bad. Besides, this is Zheng'er's first training... He must be given a good training - try to select a group of people with good health and bad tempers for him."
Ning Wanting hesitated in her heart. As a mother, of course she didn't want her son's career to go smoothly, but she was not a mediocre person after all. She knew that Yun Lan meant the right thing. She loved her son, but she couldn't spoil him. She needed to train.
He still had to practice while he was there, so he nodded, thought for a while and said: "Yun Yi originally did a good job in this matter, but he is currently on an expedition as a general. It is better to transfer Xu Lianyi back to take charge of this matter."
Yun Lan thought for a while and nodded: "Xu Shaoyang is calm and courageous, so he can be assigned to Zheng'er as a supervisor (note: according to the military system of the Wei Dynasty, a supervisor is equivalent to a military judge). However, although Feiyang's current affairs are not over, he still needs to
It won't be long... let him serve as deputy general for Zheng'er... Yun Yi is a smart and flexible boy. With him by his side, Zheng'er won't be tricked because of his carelessness."
Ning Wanting nodded and said nothing, but she was thinking in her heart: The commanders of Yanyun's second and third guards were transferred to Zheng'er. This was certainly a sign that Yun Zheng attached special importance to leading the Yingyang Army, but
Yun Yi and Xu Shaoyang are both the main force of the Young Marshal Faction. With their departure, although Yun Zheng can control the Ying Yang Guard very well, his foundation in the Yan Yun Guard is also weaker. I don't know.
