Nomads from the army seem to be dead, trying to crucify Tong Lun. If they don’t let the Guangfu Army capture the top city of Tong in waves, it feels like they have been rushing forward.
Therefore, the recovery army lost thousands of troops and failed to take advantage of the successor force of Tong Army. The fighting will of the army was so low that desertion occurred for the first time.
Zhou attached great importance to the trial, and found that they were all ex-nomads.
This situation made Zhou realize that it was time for him to make a decision.
So Chen Zhixue, the military officer, suggested that Zhou Naidi chose to retreat and lead the army back to Luoyang from Tong and report the matter to Zhang Yuejing.
Zhang Yuejing was a little surprised when he learned that Zhou failed to take Tong and was hit by Tong instead. He went to Luoyang to inquire about the situation and sort out the report, and then sent it to Zhongdu to Su Yonglin.
After receiving the report, Su Yonglin carefully analyzed it and quickly came to a conclusion.
The expansion of the Henan Corps is too fast, and the number of real old men is too small. There are more than 10,000 people in their early days. They either drop troops or recruit new soldiers to fight with the wind, but they will be frustrated once they encounter real fortified cities and elite enemies.
Political, cultural, educational and military training must keep pace with this aspect, and it will suffer if we continue to expand blindly.
However, Su Yonglin feels that it is better to be frustrated now than to find out the problem when the general attack is in the future. Now there is still time to make up for it.
So Su Yonglin ordered Zhang Yuejing and Wen Anzhi, the officer in charge of the Corps, to come up with a training charter.
In the future, Henan Corps should not take the initiative to start a war, but should devote all its energy to defense and training, and give full play to the education and training experience accumulated by the Guangfu Army in the past for recruits and soldiers.
Henan Corps urgently needs training and education.
Similarly, the Guangfu Army also urgently needs rectification and education.
Chapter 52 Restart the private salt trade
In order to improve the combat effectiveness of Henan Corps as soon as possible, Su Yonglin squeezed out 100 instructors through his teeth and sent them to Wen Anzhi to lead them to further ideological and cultural education for recruits and soldiers’ drop-off exhibitions as soon as possible.
Without ideological enlightenment and cultural enlightenment, even if the military skills are strong, the army can’t escape the limitations of the feudal army. It is the same as winning the battle with the wind and not winning the battle against the wind.
Su Yonglin will never allow these new recruits and soldiers to take the whole team backwards.
In this background, Su Yonglin felt that it was not necessarily a good thing to spread himself so big. It took a while to calm down and practice and tidy up the military and political affairs of the Ministry.
This requires not only patience, but also money, a lot of money.
The army needs a lot of financial input for three meals a day, daily living materials consumption, study materials consumption and so on, which cannot be saved.
Moreover, eye administrative construction workers also need a lot of financial input to solve the problem of people’s full stomach, and money can not be saved
Although a lot of wealth has been squeezed out of the Jin Guogui, it seems that the money is slightly insufficient compared with the whole post-war reconstruction workers and the whole military industry
It is unrealistic to expect to rely on taxes to drive construction, and Su Yonglin never thought of making poor money.
He prefers rich people, whose money is so noble, and their money must smell better.
For example, after Su Yonglin drained the money of the Jurchen nobles, she went to smell it specially.
However, Nuzhen was almost drained by him, and there was no more fragrance. So who is the richest now?
Southern Song Dynasty
"Rich" Southern Song Dynasty
He was richer than Xu Jin when he came to the Southern Song Dynasty. If he didn’t have the strength to eat Su Yonglin in one breath, he would like to allocate troops to the South to squeeze out the nobles and landlords and squires in the Southern Song Dynasty.
In this way, he felt that he had enough construction funds for his revolutionary construction, and the original accumulation was almost completed.
How much wealth did Guihe landlords and squires have in the Southern Song Dynasty? Su Yonglin thought it should be a astronomical figure of legal statistics.
Chanting and drooling.
Su Yonglin looked south and felt that he had to find a way to make money from the Southern Song Dynasty.
Obviously, military means are not feasible, so Su Yonglin thinks it is necessary to make a good profit from the difference in salt prices between the two sides in addition to the antique and cultural relics business and normal bilateral trade.
A few days after the occupation of Zhongdu in mid-May, Su Yonglin called a meeting on the first and second days of major livelihood issues, and he took the lead in formulating the Provisional Salt Law of the Guangfu Army.
According to this salt law, he still stipulates that salt must be sold by the government, and private operators are not allowed to disobey hell to pay, but Su Yonglin gave a "fracture" in the price of official salt.
During the reign of the state of Jin, the price of salt was expensive in the south and cheap in the north, that is, there were many jurchen, and the price of salt was cheap in local areas, while the price of salt was expensive in local areas.
However, this price is also higher than that of jurchen area. Compared with the Southern Song Dynasty, the price of gold salt can be discounted by a factor of 50%, which is better than that of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Now Su Yonglin is ruling the Central Plains, although he still decides the salt and iron official camp, but the price is a fracture.
He reduced the price of salt in the ruling area to a number that ordinary people can only dream of, which is one or two pence more than the price. In short, everyone can afford it and will not worry about it because they can’t afford it.
Su Yonglin means that we can’t learn from the past. The Jin State and the southern Song State knew that people had to eat salt and sell it to death. Can’t there be salt smugglers?
Bitterness makes people unable to eat salt?
Small profits but quick turnover is also good, and if the quality of official salt is good and the price is low, the people will definitely buy official salt and will not buy private salt. The private salt market will naturally be established without market order.
Earning seems to be less than before, but in the past, it took expenses to maintain the order of high-priced official salt, and the formation of anti-smuggling salt sales was also reduced, so there was still a profit.
The salt department of the Guangfu Army does not need to be as bloated as the Southern Song Dynasty to maintain the order of high salt prices, nor does it need the military and administrative forces to achieve great success and administrative achievements.
Without salt, millions of straw workers will naturally revitalize themselves.
This is the first decree issued by Su Yonglin on people’s livelihood after he occupied Zhongdu.
After the salt law was determined, he sent troops to occupy the occupied area, saltworks, beaches and land.
Zhou didn’t work hard either. He mobilized his own troops to organize the rest of the army to attack the city wall 21 times, but he was also driven out of the city wall 21 times, and all the attack departments failed.
