I’m The King Chapter 1170: : Carrying forward the past and ushering in the future (60) The dead end in Tan Feng’s heart

Tan Feng was dressed in casual clothes and brought only two guards with him. He wandered around the city of Yingchuan casually. After leaving the former residence, there are nearly 100,000 people in Yingchuan City, which is a miracle in Tan Feng's view.

However, he also had to bitterly admit that the root cause of Yingchuan's miraculous recovery to before the war, even more prosperous than before the war, was not in himself, but in the Han people who confronted him, in Yingshui City, The prosperity there is at least twice as good as here.

After the armistice between the two countries, more and more merchants flocked here, most of them were Han merchants. Merchants in Qin State used Yingchuan as a base, transferred from Han merchants at low prices, and then shipped them to the country to sell at high prices.

Tan Feng is a person with a strong learning spirit. He has never hesitated to learn from his opponents for things that can strengthen him. Army, a new army was formed in full accordance with Gao Yuan's model of building an army. With high salaries, strict discipline, excellent equipment, and strict training, the army back then did give Tan Feng some hope.

But in the Battle of Yuyang, the new army of Yan State, which had not yet become successful, was once again defeated by Gao Yuan's men. This battle also completely broke the backbone of Yan State. The city has sown evil results.

For many years, Tan Feng has been concentrating on opposing Gao Yuan. Of course, he has been studying Gao Yuan's policies with more attention. Whenever a new policy was introduced in the country of Han, Tan Feng would study it carefully and judge the impact of the policy on the country of Han.

After many years of research, Tan Feng discovered with some pain that the combat effectiveness of the Han army is strong. It is not just based on the combat effectiveness of the army, but an overall systematic system, logistics supply, efficient command system, post-war pensions, domestic livelihood, and the implementation of economic policies. But in Qin State, he was powerless to change these.

For example, the post-war pension, which is the most intuitive and the easiest to learn, but Qin did not do this. The Han State's compensation for the soldiers who died in battle is extremely amazing. For those soldiers who are disabled due to injuries, there is a complete system so that they can live a decent life after retiring. This alone, Tan Feng thinks it is enough for soldiers to fight for Han on the battlefield without any worries. On the other hand, Qin In China, most of the beggars begging along the streets were retired soldiers who were disabled due to injuries. The existence of these people not only hurt the dignity of Qin State, but also chilled the hearts of soldiers on active duty. Who doesn't worry that they will become like this?

But Qin Chaotang is not willing to make more changes in this regard, they are only willing to spend a lot of money to those who have made military exploits and survived, the nineteenth rank military merit. Each level has three turns, and after reaching the first level, there will be considerable treatment, but such people are very few after all, while more ordinary soldiers are living in dire straits.

I can't be satisfied with this, let alone other things.

Han has completely handed over its logistics system to merchants. In Tan Feng's initial view, this was completely a disorderly government. Businessmen are all profit-seeking and despicable. In order to gain benefits, they dare to do anything, but the Han army has implemented this policy for almost two years, and the result is that the logistics and transportation capabilities of the Han army have been greatly improved. In order to get this job, the businessmen of the Han country did not hesitate to invest a lot of capital In order to improve their transportation and distribution capabilities, a large number of new carriages were put into use, and material storage and transfer stations stood up on both sides of the traffic line, which could deliver the materials needed by the Han army to the army in the shortest time.

The Han government conducts public bidding every three years. All merchants who have registered in Han and have a certain amount of assets are eligible to bid. This also makes all merchants dare not bid after making money. Slack continues to improve his service level and delivery speed, hoping that he can still get this task in the next bidding.

Now that Tan Feng has fully figured out all the links here, the implementation of this policy is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Because of this policy, the Han government completely got rid of a war and needed to mobilize a large number of civilians to **** the luggage. These tasks were all carried out by merchants, and merchants needed to pay for hiring civilians. People had wages to get. The enthusiasm is also very high.

More importantly, the Han government invested heavily in infrastructure construction. Wherever the Han army fought, the roads were repaired. The perfect transportation network extended in all directions, which greatly improved their transportation capacity. With great material resources, the new carriages with iron wheels wrapped in rubber can hold more and all the livestock are less.

More importantly, perfect roads, new-style carriages, and scientific transfers enable the Han army to mobilize the least amount of manpower no matter what level of war they are facing. Abandoning the domestic fields will not have a fatal impact on the domestic economy and people's livelihood.

In Qin, this is not enough. Like the war with Han two years ago, Li Xin’s 100,000 troops alone mobilized nearly 200,000 civilians to **** grain, grass, and luggage, which caused the domestic grain production to drop by 20% that year. There is a food shortage in most places.

Tan Feng wrote a detailed report on his two years of research and presented it to the King of Qin. He hoped that his research would attract the attention of the King of Qin and the court, and thus make some fundamental changes to the Qin State. Otherwise, if things go on like this, Han's advantage will become more and more obvious. At that time, even if Qin and Chu join forces, it will be difficult to compete with Han.

This is an unsolvable dead end, going around and around, and finally in the end.

In the confrontation between countries, the military is only one part of it, and it is more of a confrontation of the overall strength of the country. The victory or defeat is judged by the army alone. Even if a certain degree of victory is temporarily achieved, it is difficult to change the general trend. Just like this battle of Pengcheng between Chu and Han, Qin Chu put in all his energy and thought about it, and drew for a long time. In the end, although he succeeded in making dumplings for the new army of Han, the people of Chu did not completely kill the new army. Xie and Qu Zhong are quite sober. They are unwilling to forge a death feud with the Han State at this time, thus becoming a shield for the Qin State. Put them all back.

It's a pity that there is Huang Xie in Chu State, Qu Zhong is such a sober person, if the Chu people slaughtered the new army, then the current Gao Yuan will inevitably have to use force against Chu State due to domestic pressure, the two countries A fight, and a big fight, is the most beneficial situation for Qin.

Thinking of this, Tan Feng couldn't help but think of the big council that Gao Yuan set up. This is a yamen that Tan Feng has not seen clearly until now. He said that he has power, and they don't have any administrative power, but he has no power. They dared to veto even the resolution of the Supreme Political Hall of the Han Dynasty. What exactly was Gao Yuan trying to do with this thing?

Does he want to establish a system that only existed in ancient times? If this is the case, is it the gospel of Qin?

Shaking his head, Tan Feng no longer thinks about this problem. Now he understands that Gao Yuan's head is not a normal head, but the things he made can make his Han Kingdom feel as if he was plugged into it. Wings generally fly higher and higher.

In the Maowei incident, he lost his most powerful subordinate, Tan Kang. The last group of people left in the country of Yan also disappeared in this operation. The ability to move, for those who survived, Tan Feng let them hide deeply, without his own order, never to have any activities again, these last nails are precious, and must not be used unless it is a last resort.

What comforted him was that Tan Kang did not die in vain. He successfully hijacked Mao Wei and caused heavy damage to the new army of Han. As a general, he has given an explanation for his family, and because of his contribution this time, he was granted the title of Marquis of Yingchuan by the King of Qin, which is enough to make him proud. As an outsider, Tan Feng is better than Lu Chao. You should know that Lu Chao's background is much deeper than his own.

Mao Wei, who also took refuge in the Qin State, was also named Lord Marquis. According to the agreement with the Chu State, a workshop for the production of explosives was established in Sui County, and Zhou Yu sent a full army of 5,000 people to guard there~IndoMTL .com~ The strict protection of the workshop there is even worse than that of the palace in Xianyang, and the black ice platform is even more sandy, and it is monitored day and night.

The first batch of products, Tan Feng also got dozens of catties here, Tan Feng experimented a few times, the power is indeed amazing, but it also has a fatal weakness in use, and there is a huge hidden danger in storage, Tan Feng heard that Lu Chao put these amazingly powerful things in his general's mansion, he didn't want to do that, if he was not careful, this thing exploded, enough to knock him into the sky.

Walk into a warehouse at random. This is a store that sells daily necessities. The items inside are basically from the Han Dynasty. There is a wide variety of beautiful things and everything you need. You can find almost everything you need in your daily life here. Tan Feng's gaze Scanning the items on the shelves, without exception, the labels on those items all indicate that they are from the Han Kingdom. There is also a bureau of industry and commerce in Han, which is dedicated to this matter. After a name is registered by a workshop, other similar products are not allowed to use this name again.

Seeing Tan Feng coming in, the waiter rushed over to greet him, "Young master is here, the boss just came back today, and it's just behind!"

"Take me there!" Tan Feng said simply. (to be continued)
