I! Jar merchant, Qin Shihuang prescribes the elixir of longevity at the beginning

Chapter 90



A certain ruffian in Peixian suddenly felt a chill in his neck.

There seems to be a bad premonition.

"Fortunately, the heavens blessed me Daqin and let Xing meet the immortal master."

"And I got the immortal master's two-point world's policy, as long as it is implemented, overthrow this shaky Han Empire, and rebuild the glory of my Daqin Empire."

"It's definitely just around the corner!"

"........,"

now Zhao Xing's eyes are full of fighting spirit.

With the help of the immortal master, he believes that he can do a good job of 18 cuts, and at the same time, he must prove to Grandpa Zu that he Zhao Xing is qualified to become the emperor of the Great Qin Empire!

To this.

Victory cannot be denied.

The immortal's ability to foresee, he had already expected, almost every step was in his calculations.

Being able to get the guidance of the immortals is also a blessing for this kid.

"Do you have soldiers and horses on your hands?"

"Ahem....... No..." "

What about the counsellor general?"

"Well........ Nor ..." Zhao Xing's tone suddenly froze, and he said ruefully, "But the immortals have already shown me the way and let me know who to recruit." "

Money?"

"......" Zhao

Xing was silent.

He is now a poor bastard, almost poor.

When Liu Bei started from scratch, he also had Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, two brothers with strong martial arts, to help, among which Zhang Fei, who was a rich man, donated a lot of family property to help him recruit troops.

His situation can be said to be worse than Liu Bei, not to mention other princes with identity backgrounds.

A descendant of the royal family of Daqin.

It's really embarrassing to get mixed up to this point.

Liu Bei also had the title of a royal clan relative.

His identity as a descendant of the Great Qin royal family has gone through more than three hundred years of changes in the times, and he really doesn't know how much weight he has.

"Okay, the widow understands."

Huan Zheng rubbed his brows and said helplessly.

This seventeenth great-great-grandson of his own is really poor and white, and he has nothing.

Himself as a grandfather.

You can't just watch like this.

"If you need something, it's like a widow to help you within the limits of what I can."

"Thank you Grandpa Zu, there is immortal funding in terms of money, which is enough for the time being." Zhao Xing's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "The seven seven eight eight that the generals of the advisers also know, only recruitment remains, and the most lacking thing for the brat now is food and grass." "

In this troubled world.

Money is definitely not the most important thing.

The amount of grain and grass is the foundation of a force!

As long as you have enough food, you will be surrounded by the people, and you can continue to expand the forces under your command!

Moreover, the consumption of food and grass on weekdays is good to say, once it enters the war period.

The rate of consumption has skyrocketed geometrically.

As it is called.

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first.

Compare with peacetime.

In times of war, there are great losses in the process of long-distance transportation.

Including the harassment of the grain convoy by the enemy, sneak attacks, continuous bad weather, and so on.

The people who transport grain have to eat grain, and the mules and horses have to eat grass, and the consumption is also huge in the process of transportation, and in the weather of long distances, rough roads, rain, snow, wind and frost, enough food for 10 people, and it is good to transport it to the front line and 3 people to eat.

The "quick victory" in military thinking is not only a strategy, but also determined by economic and material conditions, and war is a huge black hole that rapidly devours national wealth.

To feed the army, ideally with local food, this is no different from eating at home.

But if the army is too large for the localities to bear, then food must be sent from other places to support here.

To provide 10,000 soldiers and horses, in a year's time, the normal consumption will require 30,000 stone grain and grass.

Not to mention the state of war, it takes at least 100,000 stone of grain and grass to be able to support a year's conquest.

Not only that.

As the two sides fight, it stands to reason that there are indeed fewer and fewer people.

But in fact, it is often the opposite, because since there is no division of victory and defeat, the two sides will naturally strengthen their strength to defeat the enemy, and the result is that the more people fight, the more and more consumption.

For example, when you don't usually work, you may drink some gruel three meals a day to grow meat, and it may only take two or two meters a day.

But let you move bricks for 12 hours a day, you will find that you are hungry very quickly, and you are hungry before you get to dinner, and eating three steamed buns in a meal may not be enough.

This is also the principle of marching to war.

Every day, you have to keep marching quickly, fighting, chasing the enemy, and ending the battle and setting up camp, which consumes a lot of physical strength, and if you eat little, you don't even have the strength to hold a knife! Not to mention killing enemies.

Therefore, since ancient agricultural countries have fought wars, what they fought was money and grain, that is, logistics supply capacity.

Once the logistics cannot keep up, it is not far from defeat.

"Is there a lack of food and grass?"
