Chapter 463: The Little Girl in the New City The new city is tall, the scale of the city is also larger, and it has been operated and built by the empire for many years, making the new city already the top big city in the north of the empire.
Even when the Red Snow Army occupied Siltan County, people of great talent like Manninger set up their base camp in the new city.
It can be seen that the location of this place is important The location of the new city is also a north-south transportation hub, with convenient transportation, and if you use this as a base camp, it is conducive to the smooth flow of government decrees.
With the new city as the center, it is enough to radiate the territory of the three counties that Char currently holds.
But if the new city is the new base camp, the only trouble is the population The damage to Siltan County by Odin was really not light, and the population had already plummeted.
As the capital city, the new city originally had a population of more than 100,000 in peacetime, but after the Odin people occupied it and became the base camp of Manninger, the city was almost empty In order to use the new city as a base for his future migration to his own tribe, Manninger had already relocated most of the original inhabitants of the new city, and some of them were classified as slave labor.
The new city became almost a pure Odin city.
If we want to use the new city as a new base camp, this huge city is sparsely populated, and it is necessary to migrate a large number of people from other places to tens of thousands of people, which is not a small workload and a large-scale migration, and the financial cost is by no means a few But if it is not moved, judging from Char's current territory and sphere of influence, a remote border town like Denzel City is indeed no longer suitable as a base camp.
If you move, or not, the financial pressure is too huge, and now Char's territory is fixed, the foundation is unstable, and the army needs to be reorganized, and the military expenditure is a huge number Moreover, in addition to these, there is a headache for Char, which is placed in front of Char, and it is the most urgent and urgent problem to solve He had just won a war, achieved an unprecedented victory, expanded his territory several times, and formally established the Northern Garrison Military Region, canonized the garrison general, and his army was officially classified as the garrison army The reason also made Char speechless.
Originally, Char had already claimed to be the "Northern War Zone", but this name was fake.
At that time, he commanded tens of thousands of troops, but the military salaries were all implemented according to the standards of the local garrison of the empire.
After all, Char's previous official position was the commander of the local county, and the army under his command was only a local garrison at first.
The army under him, not to mention the original family background, the horse thief brought by the eldest lady of Nene, didn't care much about military pay or anything.
The remnants of the Sixth and Seventh Corps were originally regular Central Army, and they received a salary at the level of the Central Army, which was more than twice as high as that of the local garrison army.
But after all, at that time, the Sixth and Seventh Corps were in trouble, the Seventh Corps was almost wiped out, and the remaining people came to Char, like a lost dog, it was fortunate to be able to survive, temporarily under Char's hands, Char provided them with food and grass to eat and drink, even if they were grateful to Dade, and later incorporated into the Char's army, they also temporarily took the low salary of the local garrison level, these people can be reluctantly accepted, who let themselves be the phoenix in distress is not as good as the grass chicken, and then joined one after another, thousands of Rodria cavalry not to say, These elite cavalry have a lot of origins with Char, and they all come with a full stomach of volunteers, even if they don't take money, they are willing to fight bravely to kill the enemy, but you must know that the Rorienta cavalry is the elite of the first class in the empire, and the military salary has always been the highest among the many corps of the Central Army Thousands of cavalry were under Char's command, and Char could only execute it slightly higher than the standard of the local garrison.
Fortunately, the thousands of Rodria cavalry received it without complaint.
Later, new recruits were recruited to expand the army, and military salaries were also paid according to the standards of the local garrison.
Therefore, although Char has tens of thousands of soldiers, the cost of military salaries is much lower than that of other princes.
It's a bit of a bargain.
But now, the empire has ordered the "Northern Garrison", and Char's tens of thousands of people are counted as "garrisons", and the names are clearly written in the military decree of the Imperial Army, and the status of the garrison army is the same level as the Imperial Central Army, and the treatment is also the same level as the Central Army To be honest, this position was won by Adric for Char at the beginning.
The reason is very simple, the status of the garrison means that the higher the political status of Char's small group, the greater Char's voice at the political level of the empire, and the greater its influence.
But the problem is that the status is the same as that of the Central Army, and the treatment must be the same If it is according to the standards of the Central Army, among the military expenses, the military salary alone will be doubled, and the central army of the empire has always enjoyed various additional allowances and subsidies, and these treatments will be indispensable in the future, and the army that will be given will be able to fight and fight bravely, and if the soldiers are still treated harshly, even Char himself will not be able to get by.
Although Char has now established his prestige in the army, and with his prestige, some soldiers are willing to die for him, but Char asked himself, his army is more able to endure hardships, fight, and fight more bravely than other people's armies.
If he let these warriors follow him, he will enjoy less than other people's armies, and his own conscience will not be able to pass.
To improve the treatment of the military, it is natural to use money But where does the money come from?
Although there was a financial route of the Zaku tribe before, but after all, it was also limited, and that bit of financial resources had been exerted to the extreme by Char, and he had pulled out more than 20,000 troops with such a small amount of territory at the beginning, which was already the limit of financial resources.
It is supported by the source of the Zaku tribe.
But now, if we want to improve the treatment of the army, we must think of another way to make money.
The territory is large, the population in his hands is large, and the financial revenue should be increased, but the problem is that the two pieces of land he took are all poisoned by the damned Odin, if he wants to recover, it will take a while, and it is impossible to have much growth in financial revenue immediately, and even, according to Green's guess, in order to recover and encourage production, I am afraid that a large amount of money will have to be posted from the finance.
The increase in military spending, the financial subsidies to encourage production, and the cost of "moving the capital" all require money After talking to Green, Char had a headache, and suddenly couldn't help but have a ridiculous thought: Lao Tzu obviously won an unprecedented victory, but on the contrary, he was poor and about to collapse Where can I get money At the thought of money, Char's eyes turned red "Fortunately, it can still be supported in terms of food for the time being."
Green sighed: "After all, Siltan County and Moore County are both grain-producing areas, it is now spring, the spring ploughing has been implemented, the refugees have already returned to their hometowns in batches, I sent tens of thousands of troops to disperse the implementation of spring ploughing in various townships, the feedback back news is good, the spring ploughing is done, and when the harvest comes, the grain will no longer be a problem."
Moreover, we are a grain-producing area, and in the grain harvest, in addition to self-sufficient use, we can also make a profit. ” "Moving to the new city can be done slowly, without rushing for a while.
The resumption of financial subsidies for production can also be invested in batches, and it can be barely slowed down for the time being.
The top priority is military spending" Char quickly made a decision Although he didn't know much about the way of government, he had never been a leader, and he didn't know any imperial skills.
But there is a very clean point of view: the army is the greatest reliance on his hands now The army is his foundation, if the army is unstable, then everything is empty talk, as long as the army is stable, there is room to deal with other things.
After the battle with the Odin people before, because Char immediately led his troops south to King Qin, the battle against Odin's Chixue army, the reward for meritorious deeds, and the military pension and so on have not yet been completed.
The army only issued a bereavement pension first, but the matter of merit and reward had not yet had time to be fully implemented, and the whole army was waiting for their commander to come back and reward the previous battle for meritorious deeds.
The number of heads and the number of bounties won are all famous.
In addition to this "head reward", there is also a reward for the whole army after winning the battle, and a reward will also be set and distributed.
Char went south to Yanjing, and it was more than two months to go back and forth, fortunately, his prestige in the army has been established, and Green has also clearly informed the whole army, and as soon as Char, the commander, returns, he will immediately set the reward specifications and distribute it to the whole army, and the soldiers are also patiently waiting.
Now that Char has returned, he will immediately give out all kinds of rewards and pensions from the last war.
That's a lot of money Headache, really a headache Char was not an outstanding master of government affairs in the first place, and under him, Green was not a master of handling government affairs.
In this small group under his command, it seems that only Dax, who has an ambiguous background, has a bit of crooked ability to manage finances, but he is not good at handling this kind of formal government affairs and finances.
The others are all cadres in the army.
It's okay to stare and kill people in a war, but it's better to shake your head if you deal with these things.

Char grabbed his hair hard, and in pain, his heart suddenly moved By the way, none of my subordinates understand this, but didn't I just bring back a master of this way this time?
Sophie's little apprentice of Kavihill, didn't even Kavihir say something like "I am not as good as you when it comes to the government of a country".
Kavihir said that that girl can seek the government of a country, not to mention that she only has a few counties in her hands.
Thinking of this, he immediately sent someone to invite Sophie over.
Sophie and Char went into the new city together.
After Char entered Siltan County, he left the convoy and the escort army to walk slowly, and rushed to the new city with cavalry light horses, this Sophie could walk slowly in the carriage in the back team, but she didn't know which tendon of this little woman was wrong, but she offered to ride a horse to accompany Char's team.
At her insistence, Char agreed.
Let Juncker take the girl on horseback and follow his cavalry to the new city.
After entering the city, Char left the two guests in the old county guard's mansion, but Sophie, the girl, was strange, and without waiting to rest, she ran out of the county mansion accompanied by Juncker, and wandered around the new city.
It had been more than two months since the new city had been occupied by Char's army, and the traces of the war had faded.
However, the original inhabitants of the city have been emptied, and after the war, a small number of refugees have returned after hearing the news of the liberation, but the population is still sparse.
At this moment, there were only 20,000 troops stationed in the city, but the city was a veritable military town.
Sophie and Juncker roamed the streets, occasionally seeing soldiers in imperial uniforms patrolling the city.
Sophie smiled and asked Juncker to comment on the soldiers.
For this kind of question, Juncker just smiled faintly, and his expression was quite reserved.
It's not that Juncker doesn't look down on Char's army, it's just that he has too high a vision.
After all, he used to be the leader of the Night Palace, and the Night Palace Forest was the emperor's personal elite soldiers, and each member was the strongest of the thousands of selected people.
At this moment, the composition of the army in the new city is a little mixed: part of the original Char's army is from the Sixth and Seventh Corps, and there are some recruited recruits, in addition to joining a large number of Corsican military districts.
Although Green's military strategy is very good, in just two months, he still doesn't have the ability to train a ragtag army into an elite.
Now it seems that he has initially practiced a good posture, and the frame of the marching is not bad, so I don't know how the fight will be.
For this city that seems a little empty and even indifferent, Sophie seems to have a great interest, wandering around the cold streets, as if everything is fresh.
Walking all the way to the city defense, looking at the walls of the new city, Sophie finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The girl stood under the city wall, looking at the tall and majestic city defense, and nodded slowly, as if she was very satisfied.
Although the new city is a little empty, the city defense is indeed very good.
This large city with a population of 100,000 people has a huge city defense system.
The empire has been operating here for many years, and it has turned this new city into the first majestic fortress city in the north of the empire.
The system of city defense is complete, the city wall is tall, the moat is more than ten meters wide, the river surface is more than two meters away from the ground, and the depth of the river is also several meters, which is enough to protect the city wall.
The inner and outer walls of the city wall were made of huge square stones, tight and without gaps, and could not be penetrated even with a sharp dagger.
The outer wall of the city defense, prismatic thorns, chains, arrow holes.
Outside the gates were built outer forts, tall towers were erected, ballistas were of a range enough to terrify enemies who dared to attack the city, and the huge gates were made of the finest solid wood in the most interpretive form, and the outer layer was covered with iron.
In addition to this door panel, the city gate is added a thick iron gate, made of pure iron, the thickness is enough to be two meters, this iron gate weighing 10,000 catties, is usually hoisted high, never falling.
It's just that if the outer city gate is breached at the most critical time of the war, you can put down this 10,000-pound iron gate to form the last strong and unstoppable shield Such a well-fortified city is enough to become a nightmare for any enemy who comes to attack.
Sophie stopped under the city and looked at it for a while, before she couldn't help but sigh: "I heard that Char only brought a cavalry of less than 1,000 people to take this city, which is a good skill." ” When Juncker heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly: "I have also heard of this, but it was his luck, I heard that the defenders despised him for having few soldiers, went out of the city to fight with him, and he broke the team by surprise, and then took advantage of the situation to break the city, this kind of good thing does not happen often."
This city defense is very good, if I give me 20,000 or 30,000 defenders, and enough arrows and crossbow equipment, even if there are more than 100,000 enemies to attack, I am confident that the opponent will shed every last drop of blood under this city defense."
Sophie smiled and glanced at Juncker: "Senior brother is so ambitious." ” Junker was stunned for a moment, then his face showed a trace of desolation, and he said with a wry smile: "What about good ambition, alas, people who have lost their families are nothing more than struggling to survive and struggling to survive, and there is no need to say anything about ambition." ” "I think that Char is a big thing, Junker, you have excellent military skills, he will definitely reuse you."
Sophie smiled, "Maybe, I'll let you make another Dark Night Forest." ” Juncker has a bit of a heart in his heart, like him, a person's skills, although he suffered setbacks and had to be incognito, but after all, a manly man, who is willing to hide like a dog and live a mediocre life, if there is a chance, he naturally wants to do something.
It's just that this intention in my heart quickly turned into a concern.
With a long sigh, Juncker looked a little hesitant and said in a low voice, "Little girl, you don't understand."
Historically, any army has been very xenophobic, and if outsiders want to join, they will be ostracized by the elderly.
Char has been in business for a while, and his subordinates have formed a circle, and if outsiders want to join halfway, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.
Besides, in the army, a radish and a pit, suddenly adding me to it, it will inevitably divide other people's military power, which will cause the dissatisfaction of other old people, alas, I am afraid that it will be very difficult.
And I'm a person with no roots, even if General Char is willing to use me, I haven't made any merits, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to arrange. ” In addition, there was a sentence in his heart that he did not say: If he was allowed to start from scratch as a low-ranking officer in the Xia Ya Army, he would not be proud of his Junker's heart.
Sophie smiled and was about to say something, when she suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind her, and when she looked back, it was the captain of the guard beside Char who came with a few guards flying horses, and shouted loudly from afar: "But Miss Sophie, the general has an order, and sent me to ask you to go to the county guard mansion to discuss matters quickly." ” Sophie listened, smiled slightly, looked at the number of horses coming from the pegasus in the distance, but whispered to Junker beside him and smiled: "Look, isn't the opportunity coming?"
