The fourth more is sent The army has been assembled.
The Yanai knew the soldiers and horses to envoy Su Lie, and the Yanei commanded the envoys Cui Yan, Cheng Chumo, Li Gan, Niu Jianhu, and Wei Chi Baolin. 4,500 square teeth, 500 artillery.
In addition, there were nine large troops, pouring out of the nest, and the whole army was dispatched.
Su Dingfang and other generals were very excited, and everyone looked at Li Chao.
With so many soldiers and horses dispatched, this is not just for a small Wubao, a Ning Yuan.
This time, I went north to recover Fengzhou and seize Henan.
Although there are more than 50,000 horses, there are even more Turks in the Hetao.
Although the Hetao has been the territory of the Central Plains since the Qin and Han dynasties.
But more often than not, this fertile land has been controlled by the nomadic tribes of the north.
When the Northern Wei Dynasty controlled the north, six towns were established along the north.
In the Northern Zhou Dynasty and Sui Dynasty, the Hetao was recovered and counties were established.
But later, the Hetao and even the land of Daibei were handed over to the Turks to settle down, and even let them move the sweat tent to Dingxiang.
In the north, the Hetao Plain in the north of the Yellow River and the Daibei region have become the nest of the Turks.
Li Chao could understand the choice of the emperor of the Sui Dynasty at the beginning, and placed the Qimin Khan in Dingxiang, and gave them Daibei, Hetao and even Henan, which was to use the Turks to deal with the Turks, and treat the Turks as the screen of the northern part of the Great Sui.
In the early days, it was indeed very effective, and the north was stable.
But later, when Yang Guang was in civil strife, the Sui Dynasty was in civil strife, and the recuperating Shibi Khan besieged Yanmen and almost captured Yang Guang.
It is easy to please God, but it is difficult to send God.
The Turks occupied the fertile area south of the Yin Mountains and posed a serious threat to the newly established Tang Empire.
This time, Li surpassed the army and recovered many states one after another, and finally had to point to Hetao and Henan, and even in the future, he would definitely send troops to the north to drive the Turks back to the north of Yinshan, or even to Mobei.
But the strength of the Turks is strong, and they will never give up such a fertile territory.
At the foot of the Yin Mountain, the Eilechuan River is a good place to see cattle and sheep in the wind.
Perhaps, this trip north will eventually turn into a battle.
Cui Yan walked up to Li Chao's side. "50,000 people is not too much, should we ask for reinforcements from the imperial court?"
Li Chao shook his head.
"If the Turks really want to fight with us in Fengzhou, then we will fight them when the time comes, rest assured, although we only have 50,000 soldiers, the battlefield is not only one.
If you really want to start fighting, Hexi, Longyou, Shuofang, Guanzhong, Hedong, and Hebei, the six battlefields can use troops at the same time.
We are fighting in Fengzhou, General Wei Chi can still fight in Shengzhou, General Li Jing can go out of Yanmen, General Li Shiji can also go out of Duguan, Qin Shuai can go out of Xiaoguan, General Dou Dan can go out of Longyou, these thousands of miles of achievements, all put into the battlefield, multi-front fighting, we can invest at least 200,000 troops. ” An army of 200,000 sounds scary enough.
Attacking on multiple fronts, able to contain the Turks separately.
Another advantage is that the pressure on logistics and supply will be lighter, and the garrisons from all over the country will not come all the way to Shuofang, and they can still guard their own defense areas, which will not cause the rear to be empty after the transfer of troops.
Fight a big battle divided into several battlefields.
Although the Turks were strong, they also had to deal with all sides.
In this way, the pressure on Li Chao's side will be much less.
Chu Suiliang also came to Li Chao.
"I wish the marshal success, I haven't come before I can congratulate the marshal on his promotion again, congratulations on the marshal's promotion to the left servant of the school."
Li Chao smiled, "It's just a school inspection title, but not an agent, although he is in his position, he doesn't seek his own politics."
My role is still here, in Shuofang.
Deputy Envoy Chu, I may not be able to come back in a short time, you have to worry about Lingzhou here.
There are two things that you should pay close attention to: First, the transfer of military rations, which is to transport military rations to the north to supply the army.
Second, the development of the Tang Canal brooks no delay and must be carried out as soon as possible. ” Chu Suiliang nodded, "Don't worry, I understand." ” Although Chu Suiliang's performance is not bad, Li Chao still only regards him as a logistics manager, and the army will not let him interfere at all.
"Dashuai, I have a request for Tang Qu.
It's a big project and I need some start-up capital. ” "How much do you want" "Seven hundred miles of main canals, more than 500 branch canals, at least 100,000 yuan."
Li Chao just shook his head.
"Although the Tangqu project is large, as long as we use our brains a little, in fact, we don't need to invest a penny to do this."
Chu Suiliang was a little unconvinced, "The marshal said that the previously planned division of the land to the immigrants, and then let them repair the canal by themselves, although this is a method, but it is not enough to rely on the people to repair it themselves, and the government has to make overall plans, supervision and management, etc., which all require expenses." ” "You can do it a lot of ways.
For example, the 700-mile trunk canal is a large project, right, so there is no need to hand it over to the people to repair.

Only let the people repair the hundreds of branch canals, the branch canal project is small, divide the area and divide the area, and then distribute it to the people, for example, the people of a village are responsible for the construction of the branch canal.
As for the 700-mile main canal, this is the most important.
We can fix it in a different way. ” "What way" Chu Suiliang asked, "There is a way that does not cost money" "Absolutely.
We not only have irrigated land in Lingzhou, but also many other high-quality resources.
For example, there is a lot of grassland in Lingzhou, which is suitable for breeding and grazing, so we can now take out more pastures, measure it and take it out to bid for auction, and then bid for the money from the auction, and invite those powerful businessmen, or the big clans, to let them organize people to dig dry canals, and contract them out in sections, we pay, they dig canals, isn't this a good way, what our government needs, just supervise, inspect the quality of the project, and the management of the rest of the projects are their own responsibility. ” Li Chao is talking about some of the most common patterns in later generations.
It is not necessary to carry out the project and the government itself has to preside over the operation, which is too inefficient.
Chu Suiliang was stunned.
Didn't speak for a while.
He had to admit in his heart that Li Chao's words were indeed very useful.
He has carefully looked at the Tang Canal project in the past few days, and always feels that it is a bit unreliable to just divide the land to the people and let the people be responsible for digging this canal, after all, there are 700 miles of main canals, and there are more than 500 branch canals, even if 100,000 households and hundreds of thousands of people come to dig together, it is very troublesome to manage alone.
To plan, to manage.
But now, Li Chao casually has another solution, auctioning off the grassland in Lingzhou, and then using the money to bid businessmen to contract these projects, and the government can also leave some auction money as management expenses.
From personally presiding over the management to just supervising and inspecting, it is naturally much easier.
What's more, after the project is contracted out in sections, those contractors will naturally have channels to get people to get tools to repair the canals.
"Is the money from the auction of the grassland enough to dig the Tang Canal?"
Chu Suiliang finally asked.
"Whether it's enough or not, this has to be calculated.
Even if the money for auctioning the grassland is not enough, it doesn't matter, Lingzhou has a lot of resources, and there are many ways to raise money, such as directly borrowing from Li Ji Qianzhuang, or auctioning the contracting rights and management rights of Yanchi.
It's not difficult to raise money with more brains. ” The imperial court has officially begun to order a salt tax, and salt is now under control.
If salt farmers in salt ponds, salt wells, salt flats and other places want to continue to dry salt, they must first register and obtain salt household qualifications.
Then the salt farms they operate also have to obtain the right to operate, the right to contract, pay the contract fee, and pay the operation tax fee.
The salt they produce can no longer be bought and sold as freely as before.
Instead, it had to be sold to the government and bought by the government.
Salt households produce salt, and the government collects salt.
Then the salt merchants must first obtain the qualifications to operate the salt industry, so that they can buy salt from the government and sell it commercially.
When you buy salt, you have to add a salt tax directly to the salt.
This set of new salt policies is an excerpt of Li Chao and one of the ways to open up the source for the imperial court.
Now the salt tax is not high, and the price of a bucket of salt is increased by ten yuan.
Today's grain prices are still relatively high, and the price of salt was originally equivalent to the price of rice, which is about 100 wen for a bucket of rice, and a tax of 10 wen for a bucket of salt is equivalent to a price increase.
However, all channels of the entire salt industry have strengthened control.
The imperial court also levied business taxes on salt farmers and salt merchants, which was another amount of money.
As a result, the imperial court overcharged taxes, but salt farmers and salt merchants also transferred part of this money to the price of salt, and the price of salt actually rose from 100 wen to 120 wen for douyan, an increase of 20%.
Salt began to be controlled, and the salt pond was naturally a high-quality resource in the hands of the Xiang government.
After the salt households pay money to the government to obtain the qualification for salt mining, they have to pay the contract fee before they can get the right to operate the salt pond.
There are salt ponds in Lingzhou, and there are even more salt ponds in Yanzhou, and if these salt ponds are auctioned and contracted, the government will be able to get a lot of money immediately.
Even if it takes time for the auction contract, you can still borrow directly from Li Ji Qianzhuang, who has already opened the money bank to Lingzhou, and there are semicolons in all counties and cities.
Li Ji is strong and fully capable of lending money to the government.
With so many resources in the hands of the government, how can it be short of money Li Chao doesn't have time, his current focus is to take the opportunity to seize the Houtao Plain and seize Henan, otherwise, with him in Lingzhou, a Tang Canal is nothing at all.
It's just a big ditch dug in the plains, and it's not there Build a winding Great Wall on the high mountains.
At this moment, Chu Suiliang felt very ashamed, he was very unconvinced by Li Chao before, thinking that Li Chao's name did not live up to his truth.
Even if I am in Lingzhou now and I have put down my posture, I still have a trace of pride in my heart.
But after thinking about it for a few days, I couldn't think of a result, and here in Li Chao, it was solved in a few words.
Even, he said several excellent solutions in one breath, so easy and simple.
This is the gap.
Li Chao not only stands in line, not only can he fight battles, he is also proficient in general affairs.

"Thank you for your advice," Chu Suiliang thanked Li Chao very sincerely. be completely convinced t1706231537:
