Due to the low productivity and the consumption of a country, few countries in the era of cold weapons can raise too many soldiers who are not engaged in production during non-war time, and basically they will be gradually recruited when the war starts.
Liu Yan wants to maintain a standing army of 200,000 that does not produce anymore, which is actually the limit that the Han State can afford, and it is likely that he will not be able to support it if he has more, and this is still with the help of the system. 200,000 troops, if the young and strong soldiers are temporarily conscripted, although the number is large, it is only like that.
If the 200,000 troops are doing nothing but training all year round, it will not be too much of a problem for this number of troops to sweep through any country.
After a few years of cultivation and recuperation, the 200,000 standing army was systematically and regularly trained, and then combined with the battle to fight, an elite in the true sense will definitely be born, and Liu Yan will be able to take the next move.
By the way, the 200,000 standing army does not count the system troops, but because of the too large consumption of national strength, most of the "summoned" by Liu Yan are used for production, and the number of system troops has never exceeded 40,000.
That's right, the consumption of the Han Kingdom has always been quite large, from grain to various resources, if it weren't for Liu Yan's golden finger of the system, it would not be able to support it at all.
After a few years of support, the early consumption and peacetime production are basically gone, that is why Liu Yan would agree to the country to start cultivating and recuperating, otherwise with his personality, he would still choose to continue to go to war.
Sang Yu, who used to manage the civil affairs of the whole country, knows better than anyone what the state of the national reserves is, and the storage of grain and straw has reached the warning line, on the contrary, all kinds of military equipment are piled up.
"The reason why it is said that there will be small-scale battles is that in addition to continuing to fight with Shiqi and Murong Xianbei in the north, it is also imperative to invade the southwest peninsula."
Liu Yancai will not forget that the Southwest Peninsula is an excellent grain producing area: "The Yu clan wants to invade Linyi, and they are the vanguard of the Han Dynasty's march to the Southwest Peninsula. ” Previously, the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had more than once purchased grain from Linyi or Funan, and a large amount of grain could be purchased from the two countries with just a small amount of copper coins.
The climate of the southwest peninsula is very favorable for the growth of plants, and the people there still live a slash-and-burn planting mistake, whether they simply throw seeds indiscriminately, or simply do not lose seeds, anyway, they live by God's reward, but they do not produce and do not starve to death, and a little effort can have exaggerated output.
Grain could be purchased from two countries on the Southwest Peninsula, which was one of the reasons why the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was rarely short of grain.
In view of the favorable climate of the southwest peninsula for grain production, the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was unable to expand in the southwest direction after being unable to go north, and they went farther than the former Western Han and Eastern Han dynasties, and almost reached the coastline of the Indian Ocean.
Speaking of the Yu family's outward expansion, Yu Yi has just re-negotiated, that is, the previous talks are invalid, although they are still princes, but the land laid by the Yu family is still under the central management.
Liu Yan has not given Yu Yi an official reply, but he has thought a lot.
The topic involved the Southwest Peninsula, and he put forward some initial ideas.
"Ah, each family can buy a sea boat to go to sea, you can explore it alone, or you can join forces" "The land explored can be limited to time staking land, and the resources within the territory will be owned by the family for many years, and the state will buy back after the time limit."
"Not only on the Southwest Peninsula, but also on the sea."
The status of the people who can come over to meet Liu Yan is not low, even if there is no family before, sooner or later a family will develop.
The family needs resources if it wants to develop, and the more powerful the family, the more resources it uses, which is destined to erode the country's national strength and form batches of national moths.
It is the nature of all species to make their families better and stronger, and Liu Yan cannot and cannot stop them.
He has witnessed the rise and fall of the land of China from history, and all dynasties and dynasties have either eroded the country into too many moths, either eroded the country to a thousand holes, or made the people miserable.
The development of the family needs to use resources, but all the families in the land of China are exploiting internally, and there is no example of plundering foreign resources to develop, Liu Yan hopes that this phenomenon will end in his own generation, and it is to go outside to find resources, not only to exploit the country.
It is difficult to deal with this model in the north with a single family or multiple families jointly plundering outward, after all, the north has been occupied by the fierce Hu people for thousands of years, and the national power is still on the defensive many times, how can the people have enough strength to fight.
The southwest peninsula is different, compared to the fierce horseback people, there is no strong nation in the southwest, the obstacle to plundering there is the natural environment, but as long as the harsh natural environment can be overcome, the southwest can be taken at will.
"The widows have sent a fleet to continue to explore, and there are only Linyi and Funan in the southwest, and there are no other countries."
Liu Yan continued in a seductive tone: "Not only is there abundant grain, but the number of jade, jade, pearl, agate, and tortoiseshell treasures far exceeds what Zhu Qing can imagine.
This treasure trove that has just been discovered, and the widow is willing to share it with all Aiqing. ” Not to lie, although the Southwest Peninsula is still in the semi-barbaric and semi-Bronze Age, this is because the people who founded the country there are too wasteful to develop and utilize, which does not mean that the resources there are not rich enough.
The Southwest Peninsula has the second largest silver mineral storage in Asia, the fourth largest coal mine in Asia, and the gold minerals are also very rich, but the jadeite reserves that are very popular with the Chinese Miao people are the first in the world.
Liu Yan wants to break the cycle of exploitation in the territory, so that those guys don't think about harming the people all the time, and it is ideal to use the Southwest Peninsula as a bait.
The main thing is that the country is still the main force to expand to the north and west, and strive to one day be able to penetrate the world island, and the southwest peninsula and many islands can become a folk adventure paradise, so as to accumulate enough experience for the future Han to unify the world island and accumulate enough experience to advance to other continents.
There is another reason, whether it is the Southwest Peninsula or the various islands, they have never been the cradle of the hegemon, that is, who has full control and has the intention to develop a country, and this country also rules a group of lazy and outrageous human races, the only slightly fierce human race, and it is especially the product of the hybrid between the local indigenous people and the Chinese and Miao people.
"The king has a word, there is another one here" Ji Chang said in a rare excited tone: "As long as a Malacca can find this place, it can enable the Han to set off from the sea and go straight to the boundary of the once resting empire." ” Few people can understand what Ji Chang is excited about, and he doesn't even know what the Rest Empire is.
Those who knew Liu Yan's ambition, but they also became excited when they heard it, after all, if they went all the way west by land, just the desert area and the swampy area were enough to drink a pot, and it was far better to be able to directly invade across the sea than by land.
Liu Yan coughed a few times, he thought that it was still far away to unify the world island now, and it was more practical to take care of the present.
If the remnants of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty are cleaned up, the Han State will probably be slightly larger than the Northern Song Dynasty, and the destruction of the Shiqi Zhao State and Murong Yan State will only restore the territory of the early Western Han Dynasty, and there is still a huge Western Regions waiting to be recovered.
How big the territory is is only a basis for development, the number of people is ambitious, okay, it is ambitious, anyway, if Liu Yan wants to dominate the world island, the Han country must have at least more than 200 million people.
And now the Han Kingdom will not exceed 16 million people.
If you look at the history of the world's population, the current global population is about 120 million.
This is mainly due to the fact that after nearly 200 years of war on the Chinese side, there are less than 20 million left from 65 million, and there are also wars in Rome, Parthia, and other countries.
Today's most populous place is in the Indian subcontinent, which was divided into hundreds of states after the collapse of the Mauryan Empire, during which the Kushan Dynasty rose to prominence, but the Kushan Dynasty quickly disappeared into history.
At present, there are hundreds of states in the Indian subcontinent, with a total population of more than 45 million.
It has to be said that according to the records of the world's population history, China has not won the Indian subcontinent in terms of population for a full 700 years since the Wuhu Rebellion, and it was not until the Northern Song Dynasty that it surpassed the Indian subcontinent to become the first, but the Southern Song Dynasty did not surpass the Indian subcontinent again until the middle of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, the Indian subcontinent has never been a complete country except for the Mauryan Empire, and the Tang Dynasty King Xuan Ce invaded India with the army of Tibet, and the so-called destruction of the country is actually the destruction of a "state", not the entire Indian subcontinent, which must be clearly distinguished.
The establishment of the modern Indian state is not how hard they work, and even if they have an effort, it is an effort to carry out a hunger strike, but it is not the use of force, it is the hunger strike and protest that makes the existence of the country of India.

After the collapse of the British colonial system, there were more than 100 countries in the world that were independent or still under the Commonwealth system, and before the British withdrew from the Indian subcontinent, the colonies on the Indian subcontinent were divided into India and Pakistan.
In desperation, they did not have any good intentions, creating the disputed area of Kashmir, and their divisive methods were also slapped in the face by Asan, such as the Pakistani enclave that was forced to become independent by India.
It was not only Britain who was slapped in the face by Ah San, not long after Liu Yan crossed, Ah San sent troops to invade the territory of the Tian 1 Dynasty, but just like the Emerald Country bombed the Tian 1 Dynasty, the Tian 1 Dynasty faced Ah San's invasion, "hehe" These two words that are so unfathomable that they can extend countless meanings can represent everything.
Liu Yan turned the Southwest Peninsula into a paradise for all families, and soon after they dispersed, they quickly caused heated discussions.
In fact, this is not the first time in the history of China, the earliest to carve out some territory, so that the domestic families carnival was still at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty.
At that time, the king of Zhou was very rough in rewarding meritorious ministers, pointing to the map and saying, "This land belongs to the X family, and that land belongs to the O family, and the xxoo people themselves bring people to fight down, and it is the xxoo family", which is how the territory expansion of the Chinese Miao descendants in the early Spring and Autumn Period came.
The history of the Spring and Autumn Period is not difficult to check, and Sang Yu was the first to release news in order to atone for his sins, for example, Liu Yan wanted to follow the example of the Zhou generation, and the land was carved out to give each family a chance to develop.
He not only released the news, but also gathered all the families, waited for the families to gather together, and according to Liu Yan's wishes, he went outside to do all kinds of evil, not staring at the meat at home.
"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land" Cui Wan is embroidering, seeing that the clothes are for children.
She asked Liu Yan with a slight hesitation: "Is this really good?"
The snow is falling, and Liu Yan is not good to wander around, except for holding court meetings or convening ministers to meet with each other, or staying in the harem Maodong.
The speed of transmission of news is fast and slow, and if the news that can be touched and benefited is intentionally disseminated, the speed of transmission is very amazing, Liu Yan moved his eyes from the book to Cui Wan, and said with a smile: "It was the family who asked you to ask" Cui Wan did not hide it, of course the Cui family is interested in going to the Southwest Peninsula, it should be said that as long as it is a family with a little strength, it is very interested, after all, the news that the Southwest Peninsula is a treasure trove is Liu Yan said, and Liu Yan, as a king, is more responsible than anyone else, and cannot be easily deceived.
"It's the king's land."
Liu Yan did not say that whoever occupies it can build the country and stand alone, no matter who occupies the land, it is still the land of the Han State.
He smiled and said, "The country gains the land, and the families benefit."
If Cui's is interested, he should hurry, one step is faster, but don't wait for others to eat and wipe clean before going. ” Cui Wan, who got the answer, was not very happy, she said glutinously: "Shen'er" "What's wrong with Shen'er" Liu Yan went out with a sentence, and reacted later: "Don't think too much." ” Liu Yan now has only one son, and he is still a veritable eldest son, and under the orderly human ethics, Liu Shen is a well-deserved candidate for the crown prince.
He didn't know whether to be glad that Cui Wan was thinking about the interests of the royal family, or worried that Cui Wan had taken it for granted that Liu Shen should inherit everything and thus protect his food.
The country wants to recuperate, Liu Yan demarcated the Southwest Peninsula for various families to toss, first there can be no accidents in the country, and then try to do this model in the end.
He expects to only cultivate and recuperate for five years, and then he should start a national war to destroy the Zhao Kingdom and the Murong Yan Kingdom, and then try to appease the Zhang Liang Kingdom, if the Zhang Liang Kingdom is not interested, it will naturally be destroyed, and the next expansion target is the Western Regions.
If it weren't for the poor health conditions now, Liu Yan would like to forcibly let each couple have more children and more children, so how to improve the medical level is also a necessary course during the period of recuperation.
How could Cui Wan not think about it, Liu Shen will soon be three years old, but the identity of the crown prince has not been established for a long time.
She thought about it for a while, and really wanted to find a way to make her mother's family grow stronger and give her son more protection:
