Before the three armies move, food and grass will go first

ps: grass, I have a cold when I stayed up late, I caught a serious cold, and I have two days to rest and have a trick on the old man!

ps1: I'm very sorry for falling, I agreed, but I'll work hard next time.

ps2: After thinking in bed for a while, I finally decided to write about economic issues. Well, although I understand economics, I have always been insensitive to numbers.

ps3: Kill and kill! The war is on!

The cement that came out made people happy. Five days later, the huge cement block was directly arranged on the reservoir building.

The lime production method was distributed to various factory owners.

Kelar followed the flow and built a sand-drawing factory and a brick-burning factory.

This is a strategic material created directly by the royal family.

In fact, it is very simple to burn bricks. After mixing clay with a certain proportion of soil, it can be put into the kiln and burned for a certain period of time. However, there is no cement bonding, and brick walls made of glutinous rice juice and pulp are not very defensive and are not practical at all.

But now it can be produced in large quantities.

This is what is called [charity]. Distribution of relief grains can never be as good as labor-for-relief. A good and high-paying job brings a happier life to the people.

Keral has always adhered to the idea of ​​never raising idle people. Not only did he pass the parliamentary system as many scholars hoped and suppressed them mercilessly. In Keral's view, the centralized system is the fastest and fastest system to allow the country to operate efficiently, just like those democratic systems that looked at the guys who were beaten up by the Germans in the early stage.

Look at the Americans who were ambushed by the Japanese and then lost the entire Pacific Fleet!

This is not a global village. This is not a game, this is a war of unification of the entire European nation, which is held for resources and for future generations.

Who dares to relax?

War is the driving force for the development of science and technology, and Kelar directly advanced technology before the war. He did not want to hit a stone spear against a short sword.

The establishment of factories represents the change of careers for many people, and many people who do not have farmland to cultivate the country. One reason is that the salary of factories is higher. Now the average Camelo people consume one Gathal fund coin per month, and a Camelo farmer earns thirteen gold coins a year. This is an ordinary level. One more or less one year of harvest and the year of unpaid harvest.

This is the price sold to the government. The annual income for selling to ordinary merchants is about 17 pieces.

Due to the war, the import of grain from various countries increased sharply. Rome's taxes were collected in the form of Carthaginian fund coins or Roman silver coins. In other words, Roman taxes did not collect food. If the Romans wanted to fight, they bought them directly from Roman merchants or Jewish merchants.

It was also the Jewish merchants who slaughtered them too cruelly, and Nero even directly banned Jewish merchants from walking and selling them in Rome!

However, the ban on the circulation of Jewish merchants directly reduced the number of merchants to less than 70%.

This not only reduces taxes but also greatly increases grain prices.

One hundred pounds of grain (equivalent to 0.9 dan, about 90 kilograms in modern times) actually cost thirty silver coins!

And before, it was something that could be bought with just fifteen silver coins!

As food prices rise, Rome's prices also rise, Nero now has to work hard every day with Keral's "Economic Theory".

And now we can see that the ancients collected food directly, right?

First of all, as a big grain country, collecting grain can greatly alleviate the economic pressure of farmers (one more trade requires more taxes, and collecting grain can directly omit this step.) More importantly, the emergence of food tax directly raises the importance of farmers to a higher level than that of merchants, second only to scholars.

So farmers can produce with peace of mind.

They could even walk barefoot in the mud and look proudly at the merchants sitting in the carriage.

Because of social status.

To be honest, in ancient China, many peasant uprisings could be avoided if the social status of peasants was not higher than that of officials.

If a country has a peasant uprising, it means it really won’t live long.

It does not mean that peasant uprisings can succeed, and there have been few peasant uprisings since ancient times.

The implicit meaning of the peasant uprising is: the farmers in this country are beginning to be anxious and no one is intent on farming!

As for this anxiety, there are many reasons, but there is only one result: the food is greatly reduced, and everyone is working hard for the sake of food!

Africa produces very little food.

In other words, no matter how many colonies there were in Africa, the Romans could not receive food.

Most of the food is near the Macedonian lands and in Rome.

Although these places are indeed good, you don’t look at how many Roman legions are—more than three million standing soldiers rely on the supply of the state.

I won’t talk about money or something. Rome, which has the largest land and the most resources, has money. The problem is that the purchase of grain cannot keep up with the investment of money. Is there anything more deceptive than buying the same quality of grain with twice the amount of money?

Yes. Use three times the funds to buy!

This is the case in Rome now.

Carthage is much better because it is a fighting nation and lives in a bitter and cold place, so almost most of Carthage's food depends on the Babylonian tower.

The Babylon Tower, which stands in the sky, brings plenty of sunshine. Millions of kilograms of food are transported from it every year, and monsters will appear one after another. Therefore, every year, they have to be wiped out.

Although the combat power of the Silver Kingdom is proclaiming that it has a very small population, with about two million people, scattered in the snowy areas. Only when fighting will they be moved and gathered together by the recruitment order of the King of Silver.

Even so, they can gather a reorganized army of 100,000 people at 20:1, which is very powerful.

Needless to say, the Egyptians of this period were still very rich, and with the sweet land near Asia Minor, the supply of more than one million legions was not stressed. This refers to the financial aspect.

Then there is Camelo.

Hongyeling, the most fertile economic center in Camelo, started purchasing grain eight years ago. It was not much back then, but it began to gradually acquire large quantities year after year until Keral took office.

Keral has been implementing a military control system for three years since he took office.

The so-called military control system is reflected in the fact that all kinds of industrial and agricultural secret recipes are never left and food cannot be exported.

Export high-priced luxury goods and then return to China to buy grain at high prices to promote economic development. This is actually a rule to follow. Grain and money are rotated from farmers, merchants, and countries respectively, while the country only pays fruits, porcelain and silk.

Luxury goods exchange for economy is extremely powerful.

Here we can see that technology is getting better, just like modern Sam relies on weapons to exchange oil, while the Celestial Empire relies on weapons to exchange minerals, and Camelot, which relies on economic power to exchange food, is now the first in all countries in the grain reserves.

Everything is because of a sentence deeply embedded in the Chinese concept of Kelarna: Before the three armies move, food and grass will come first! (To be continued)
