Chapter 2205 1.94 Thousands of miles of food

He knew that all the branches and branches of the valley kingdom could not sail on the riverside of Li. In order to meet with the captain of the tower ship, he would meet as soon as possible. King Ji had to do as much as possible, silently, and the gods and ghosts did not know it. He led his army to the bank of the riverside of Zhihuli. He handed over the food, grass and supplies, and the weapons of the army. Then he rushed westward, went up the riverside of Zhihuli, attacked the city and captured the village. He seized the east, and the north was poisoned, and the three climbs to the land.

"Where is the river near (Zhihuli)?" King Ji asked.

"Turn the southeast in a diagonal way." Liang Zi replied: "Crossing the south of the mountain (Daxue Mountain), the Queen Mother Kingdom of the West."

"Is there a mother country in the south of the mountain?" King Ji was quite surprised. He thought that the border between the Queen Mother of the West would be nothing but the Daxue Mountains. Unexpectedly, there were also a small country in the south of the mountain. In this way, the way to the south was not Zhangmuchuan. No wonder when the Zhangmushan City was built, the scouts reported that there were unknown rivers around him, and they might be poisonous. Although there were few people, they were of the same origin and species. They were born in ancient Qiang and spread across mountains, rivers and valleys. Many branches were hard to know.

"Yes, there is also a little prince of the East Girl Country in Shannan."

"Very good." King Ji nodded happily and asked again: "Shannan Xiao Wang, he has a name."

"Queen Zhuyu." Liang Zi replied.

"Are there many bamboos in the country?" King Ji asked casually.

"It's unknown." Liang Zi replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Chang Ning's beauty, Yunxia's left guard Changbai smiled and said, "If you know that your husband is a big man, Queen Zhuyu must sweep the bed and wait."

Although he was named Changning Beauty, he was still famous but not real. The two are still in perfect form. King Ji is increasingly cautious about the harem system and does not easily accept new people. King Ji is the long-lasting lord of "the clothes are not as good as the new, and people are not as good as the old". What's more, the king does not do it easily. It is because King Ji often engages in marriage. Getting married is like forming an alliance. If he bids off the old love, the covenant will also break. The consequences are unpredictable. In order to maintain the covenant, even if the old love is gone, the new love will be the old lover. Only in this way can the two families be constantly collided.

Although he is a king, then the choice of palaces is limited.

Concubine Zhong Cunhui had long advised him. He accepted Liang Zi and Bai Wei's two Qiang girls into the family. However, King Ji was considering the overall situation of Qiang and Di in Longyou, but he had never moved easily. Zhong Cun, Shaodang, Bai Horse, Ganlang, and the four ancient Qiang, and virtuous daughters filled the Ji Wang's house. They were also called "Yunxia Si Family". As we all know, the ancient Qiang bloodlines were in the same spirit and branches. When they saw the four families were the heroes, they had scattered tribes and came to join. After all, they were related to their relatives, so why wouldn't they take them in? Even Long

Half of the Right Laid City came from the Four Clans. Eight Western Qiang, and the most powerful soldiers in the world. Especially for generations, they reproduced in the frozen plateaus and were strong and powerful. You can imagine that when Concubine Hui got married, there was a Shaodang Qiang, Dangsu, and the two beauties in the past who followed the concubines. If Liang Zi, Bai Wei and Yunxia were all relatives of their relatives, Longyou was too strong. Previously, King Ji wanted to move around Dazhen Pass, and 500,000 Qiang households entered the eastern border, and there would be a trade-off.

However, the maids of the Yong Palace of Shangyuan and Yunhua and other people have been serving in bed since they went to war. They have been tired and exhausted, and the mountains and rivers have collapsed. Fortunately, they have been caring for their husbands and have never been able to do so. Even so, they are still in a difficult position and cannot take care of them. There are almost no traces in front of others and behind them. Only Liang Zi and Bai Wei are ordered to serve the people on a daily basis. After all, the two have been awarded the title of beauty Changning. It is only a matter of time before and after.

Before I knew it, the warmth rose. I breathed for a long time and my body and mind were refreshed. Even if I drove a car, the horse would be roaring, and the wind would be generated under my hooves. After coming out of Zhangmuchuan, the terrain dropped sharply. The temperature rose rapidly and the air became more and more intense. It was not as good as the middle of the day, and the heat would be felt.

The roads are difficult and rugged. The carriages in front and behind are connected by ropes. This is the first time. The light carriage gallops and travels 300 miles a day, but it is almost impossible. Only "going horses". It is true that "the road is opened when a mountain is opened, and a bridge is built when a water is met." The craftsman said that a journey of 300 miles takes ten days. When walking and repairing, it is only thirty miles a day.

After all, the road was first opened. When King Ji was calm and he went through the development, the natural barrier would eventually become a thoroughfare. Even if the road to Shu was difficult to reach the blue sky, it would be open to cars and horses now. The farming civilization has been passed down from generation to generation, and I am used to Yugong moving mountains.

If it weren't for the ambition of the empire, King Ji would have to fight for the expedition. Tens of thousands of craftsmen were spending too much time and day.

According to the "Book of Han: Biography of Zhao Chongguo", officials, soldiers, horses and cattle were eaten, and 281 (10281) of people, and they used 199,630 hu of grain, 1,693 hu of salt, and 252,86 shi of water chestnuts, and rough calculations were made.

The Tuotu Pioneer Camp was added, which was a total of 150,000 troops. The monthly consumption of grain and grain was as high as 3 million hu. The salt was 25,000 hu and the water was 3.75 million shi. The new Ji country's chariot was loaded with a load of 100 shi. It was enough to transport more than 67,000 hu (67,742). This was just a month of consumption.

It doesn’t count on the way, people eat horses and chew it. It costs more than 918 million yuan for grain, 300 qian of salt, 500 qian of salt, and 1 stone of water to eat, which costs more than 918 million yuan (918541080).

Then, it costs more than 338.7 million yuan (338.750) to transport 5,000 yuan (338.750).

It was not as good as the loss and military capital. It was a matter of grain transport alone. In this battle, King Ji required more than 1.257 million (1257247830).

According to later estimates, when Qin attacked the Xiongnu, the efficiency of transporting grain was only 192 (1192), Emperor Wu joined the southwest Yi, and the efficiency of transporting grain was about 190 (190). Historical records: "The rate (abbreviated) is more than ten bells (one bell is six stones and four dou)."

Therefore, "The Art of War" says: "If you eat an enemy for one bell, you should be twenty bells; if you are afraid of a pole, you should be twenty bells."

Taking one portion of grain from the enemy is equivalent to saving twenty pieces of grain from us. Grain, grass, baggage, and weight are all following this example. From this we can see that the efficiency of grain transport is only five (5%) for a hundred times, and it is still transported thousands of miles on the flat ground. Like King Ji, it travels five thousand miles. The consumption is imaginable. Indeed, there is no Emperor at this time, and he built the world road network.

If King Ji had not had the farming for twenty years, how could he support this expedition?

This also shows that the Duwei Xuan, year after year, went south to build roads. He enthroned houwu forts and erected posts everywhere, and relayed in advance to transport military rations. Only then did King Ji go to expedition the army, and his troops were sufficient to eat. Later, the statistics from the Bureau of Records. The King Ji went south to advance along the water and land, and the efficiency of grain transport was about 45 (45%). Among them, the transportation of chariots and horses was less than 15 (15%). The convenience of water transportation is irreplaceable now. King Ji opened the ten ports of the river and connected it into a pearl string. It can be said that he had foresight. He attacked and destroyed the kingdom of poisoning Buddha, continued the pearl string, and went straight to the Qin Dynasty in the west of the sea. This battle was also indispensable.

"The Second Year Laws and Orders: Running Stories": "The running script of the people is 200 miles a day and a night."

I don't know, I'm shocked when I calculate it.

Let’s ask. If you don’t farm, how can you fight abroad?

Therefore, Sun Tzu said: "In all the methods of using troops, a thousand horses of chariots, a thousand chariots, a hundred thousand armors, and a thousand miles of grain. Then the expenses of internal and external, the use of guests, the materials of rubber paint, and the delivery of chariots and armors will cost a thousand gold a day, and then a hundred thousand troops will be promoted."
