It seems that things are very big, but in fact they are really big events, but there will still be an order in which things happen.
The nations first instigated slave rebellions in order to plunge the Han Empire into internal turmoil.
Subsequently, the overseas territories of the Han Empire were also attacked one after another, and there were attacks in order to obtain gunpowder, and more to take advantage of the fact that the garrison was not too high a defense to strike.
If you want to start a national war with a country, the priority choice is naturally to provoke civil strife in that country, even if it cannot be subversive, it will inevitably make it difficult for that country to take care of the outside world for a while.
Until the internal turmoil is dealt with, it is even more difficult for the state to concentrate all its efforts externally.
Perhaps in dealing with internal turmoil, the country will trigger a greater internal crisis, which is equivalent to external forces trying to gain the greatest benefit possible at the smallest cost.
More than two months have passed since the first slave riot broke out in Wuyang County, and one slave riot after another has indeed caused a lot of losses to the Han Empire.
Slaves themselves were the property of the Han Empire, and every time a slave died, it was equivalent to the loss of a part of the property, and the slave rebellion also caused damage to the place, and then the ongoing project was forced to stop.
"In two months, the statistical loss is that more than 300,000 slaves have been lost, and the property loss caused is not less than 40,000 yuan."
Ji Chang looked quite haggard: "The main reason is that the location of the slave rebellion is either a construction site or a workshop or a factory, so there is such a high property loss." ” It's all riots, and it's impossible for a slave not to destroy it, and he can destroy whatever he catches, and he won't have any scruples about setting it on fire.
In fact, the efficiency of the suppression of the garrisons in various places is not slow, even the slowest will arrive on the same day, that is, the arrival of the army does not mean that the destruction of the slaves has stopped, and the subsequent battles will cause further destruction. 40,000,000 gold is 400,000 gold coins.
In the Han Empire, 1,000 five-baht coins were exchanged for one silver coin, and ten silver coins were exchanged for one gold coin.
Seeing that the loss of five baht coins is quite a lot, it has been replaced with gold coins, and it is not so painful to look at it.
Liu Yan didn't care about the loss of property or anything, the total annual taxes of the Han Empire exceeded three million gold coins at the lowest time, and even reached seven million gold coins at the highest.
Because of the favorable tax relationship, the tax contribution of commerce accounts for about 45 percent, the nobles pay about 15 percent, and in addition to the agricultural tax of 8 percent, the rest is some miscellaneous taxes.
Liu Yan privately calculated that the commercial activities of the Shaofu alone accounted for 60% of the total tax amount.
The Han Empire's taxes were not one-size-fits-all, with high taxes on luxury goods, known as luxury taxes.
For example, for example, for each transaction made of jadeite, the amount of tax to be paid is 400 times that of agricultural tax.
The Han Empire can receive millions of gold coins in taxes every year, so the amount of business must be more than tens of millions of gold coins, but I don't know if it has broken 100 million.
Regarding property damage, Liu Yan is concerned about how long it will take to recover after it is destroyed.
He actually had a happy attitude about the loss of the government more than the loss of the people.
If the official loses, there will be losses, and the private individuals will lose something, and maybe the livelihood of a certain family will be cut off, or even affect dozens or hundreds of families.
After the loss, it will definitely be rebuilt, and the official reconstruction will inevitably stimulate the increase of domestic demand.
On the premise that there is no need to build more official facilities, the destruction and reconstruction of the building is actually good news for the people.
"What is the attitude of the people towards what happened" Liu Yan attaches great importance to this: "Have you conducted a public opinion survey?"
How could Ji Chang ignore this aspect, and replied: "The sampling of the people in Guanzhong did not cause large-scale panic, and he was indignant about what happened. ” It has been nearly ten years since the Han people turned over and became the masters again, and as the head of the family, almost all of them have experienced the years of Hulu rage.
For them, the turmoil that happened this year is actually a trivial matter, and there is really no panic in their hearts.
"Your Majesty."
Ji Chang felt the need to say good news: "Before the slave riots in various places, before the garrison arrived, the people in many places spontaneously participated in the suppression.
In some places, the army did not wait for the arrival of the army, and the slaves of the rebellion had already been suppressed. ” The Han Empire has been implementing "two seasons of military training", and every summer and winter, various localities will call young men and women for military training.
In the Han Empire, it was extremely normal for ordinary people to hold weapons.
Some foreigners who came to the Han Empire once suspected that they were coming to a large barracks, and wondered why the Han people had at least one dagger on their bodies, and it was even more common to have swords or knives hanging from their waists The Han Empire forbade the types of weapons held by the people, mainly strong bows and crossbows, and for melee weapons, the common people were encouraged to purchase them.
The prohibition of armor is stricter, if the people have one pair of armor, it is nothing, but if they have several pairs of armor, it is a crime.
In fact, it is like that, there are "two seasons of military training" every year, and then it is not a contradiction to prohibit people from holding weapons "People" Liu Yan didn't know whether to be happy or worried, and asked: "Are there many casualties?"
During the two months of slave rebellion, the army suffered fewer than 1,000 casualties, most of which were not serious.
The people who spontaneously participated in the suppression, everyone had weapons, but not everyone had armor, and even if they had armor, they were not as good as the military, and the casualties were more serious than those of the army, and some statistics showed that 1,017 people were killed in the battle, and more than 8,000 people were seriously injured.
"The war dead are treated as the dead in the national war."
Liu Yan was naturally pleased with the bloody nature of the people: "Everyone in the Han Dynasty dares to fight, and what is the way to attack the Han in the world." ” Ji Chang did not encourage the people to participate in the war privately, he believed that it was the duty of the army to go to the battlefield, if the people were conscripted into the army, there would naturally be nothing, and the responsibility of the people who were not conscripted was to produce in the rear.
There are two sides to everything, and it is good for people to go to war spontaneously, but if they had a better organization, some casualties could have been avoided.
"Your Majesty."
Ji Chang frowned slightly, and said, "Shang Shuling proposed that the whole country of Dahan enter a state of war, and the minister thought it was too early. ” The so-called national entry into a state of war does not mean that everyone is fighting hard when they set foot on the battlefield, but that they have begun to recruit a large number of soldiers, and at the same time, the production system has also begun to focus on the production of military materials.
Ji Chang, who has been prime minister for several years, knows very well that if the whole country really enters a state of war, then what he did in the previous two years will be in vain, and at the same time, the country's economic planning will inevitably become deformed.
At present, some production in the Han Empire relies on machinery, but most of the production actually relies on hands, and when it really begins to mobilize, the number of troops will increase dramatically, which means that the youth of the people will decrease.
As long as it is a normal country, it is not a last resort, and there really is really no country that will easily move from the normal system to the wartime system.
"At present, troops from all over the northwest have moved to the Western Regions.

The same is true of the Guanzhong garrison.
Ji Chang is a Zhongshu order, and he should not interfere in military affairs, but it is really too big for the whole country to transfer to the war system: "The Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate will have the size of five standing armies within a month at the latest, and the local area can recruit 100,000 auxiliary soldiers, so it must be worry-free." ” Originally, there was only one standing army, but it had the right to recruit local Han Chinese as auxiliaries.
The last time Li Kuang presided over the war with the Hunnette, he only dispatched two regular divisions, and only 50,000 people were recruited, with about 250,000 servants from the Western Regions.
In Ji Chang's view, in the face of the world's attack on the Han Dynasty, the Han Empire should adopt a defensive posture, see which countries have made a move, and then fight for those countries that have not done it.
In this way, the Han Empire needed to pay special attention to the northwest and other overseas territories, and the rest was to focus on the interior.
The Han Empire maintained fifteen standing armies in peacetime, and last year a new firearms division was formed.
The current Yulin Army and the other two standing armies are in a state of redressing, but aren't there still thirteen standing armies that can be used, especially the firearms division is in the Junjishan Captain's Department not far behind the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.
"Li Kuanghui has four standing armies under his jurisdiction."
Liu Yan didn't count the auxiliary soldiers who were temporarily recruited: "Including the firearms division that was transferred from the Junjishan Captain's Department." ” At the same time, there have also been new changes in the staffing of firearms divisions, such as five squads for one squadron, five squadrons for one squadron, five squadrons for one brigade, five brigades for one regiment, and five regiments for one division.
The strength of a firearms division is nearly 35,000, which is equivalent to more than the personnel of two standing armies.
In the future, once the standing army is reorganized into firearms divisions, it will basically be divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D.
The Class A Division is an establishment of 35,000 men, with four standard rifle regiments, one standard artillery regiment and two baggage regiments.
Behind the division level there are still the numbers of corps, corps, and group armies, with three divisions being one corps and three armies being one corps, and group armies being equal to front armies.
"Twenty years before Yuan Shuo, the Han Dynasty must have more than six firearms divisions" Liu Yan knew what Ji Chang was afraid of, and said with a smile: "Tai'an, now it's not that I want to use military force, it's those countries that can't get along with the Han." ” "I don't dare."
Ji Changcai didn't dare to say that Liu Yan was reckless, if Liu Yan insisted that the whole country enter the wartime system, he would not dare to stop it, but he still had to do his duty as a courtier and express his worries: "Your Majesty, the Han Dynasty now has nearly 13 million children and nearly 6 million teenagers. ” The so-called children are under the age of twelve, and the juveniles are between the ages of twelve and eighteen.
There will be such an exaggerated number of children and teenagers, which is due to national policy.
The Han Empire has always encouraged more children and more children, for which an exaggerated amount of finance has been allocated, more than two children have assistance, more than three children have rewards, if a family has more than eight children, the husband will receive a first-class knighthood even if he is white, and the mother will receive the title of "great mother".
It is actually not so normal for a country to enter the absolute "youth", and it can continue to start big projects before because of the huge number of slaves.
Now slaves everywhere are constantly revolting, and even where there are no riots, the work has been stopped.
Since there have been continuous slave riots, the monitoring and control of slaves must be infinitely improved, and in the past, a hundred or so people could guard 10,000 slaves, but now 1,000 people are needed to take care of 10,000 slaves.
It is conceivable that as long as the slave revolt is not completely quelled, or even after it has been completely quelled, the use of slaves everywhere will be absolutely cautious, and the manpower and finances used in this area will inevitably need to be increased.
The slaves had rioted, but the established castration policy had not stopped, and according to Liu Yan's meaning, since some things had happened, they simply carried out what they had to do.
In that case, the slave revolt probably did not stop for a day.
After all, as a man, who is not afraid of their own being cut Before, it was to accept fate or be afraid of death again, knowing that if it was going to be cut, who would not resist For a long period of time, a large number of projects will be suspended, and chaos will continue, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge for the Han Empire.
In this situation, if we switch to a wartime system, the stagnation of people's livelihood is inevitable, and there will even be a certain degree of regression, which will only lead to an unhealthy expansion of various items related to the military industry.
"I understand."
Liu Yan doesn't think that's necessarily a bad thing: "I know exactly what I'm doing. ” In fact, the current military industry is also closely linked to people's livelihood, but it is not so clear in modern times.
Even though the Han Empire was about to enter the age of firearms, it was still cold weapons that dominated the army, which was nothing more than the consumption of pig iron and steel in large quantities.
In today's society, the absence of pig iron and steel would not have a lethal effect at all.
Once there is a large-scale expansion of the army, the first benefit will be related to clothing.
And this is definitely something that ordinary people can benefit from.
"Tai'an."
Liu Yan soothed: "What you need to pay attention to at the moment is the discipline of children and teenagers in various places, as long as this aspect is done well, the Han will not be able to mess up." ” The establishment of the first nursery school was in the seventh year of Yuan Shuo.
The first elementary school was established in the 11th year of Yuanshuo.
Today, the Han Empire has a total of 8,727 primary schools, 609 middle schools, and 74 high schools, but there is only one university in Chang'an.
This amount, of course, is not enough, and needs to be increased again and again.
"I will not immediately transfer the country to a wartime system."
Liu Yan wanted to feed Ji Chang a reassurance: "The Han was forced to get involved in the war this time, and they must make the strongest counterattack, but they are not qualified to let the Han fully transfer to the wartime system." ” Ji Chang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He said, the real outbreak of the Great War is only on the side of the Western Regions, at most there is one more Tianzhu Protectorate, how can the whole country immediately enter the wartime system
