After unloading the grain and grass, I saw with my own eyes the 81 stores of grain and grass stored in Gong County.

Wang Cheng then knew that they would really no longer need to transport grain and grass here.

Now Gong County has a total of more than 1.2 million shi of food and grass. Previously, Wang Buxu himself carried about 200,000 shi.

In other words, the food and grass in Gong County is enough to feed Wang Buxu's army for three or four months.

As for Zhang Han's food and grass, even if it was reduced every day, it would not last for half a month.

There are no precedents in history for civilians to go to the battlefield.

But every time civilians went to the battlefield, the sequelae were very serious.

"Why is father so worried? Could it be that the young master made some request that made it difficult for father?" Wang Ping looked at his father Wang Cheng's worried face and couldn't help but frown and asked.

"Hey..." Looking at Wang Ping, Wang Cheng sighed helplessly.

Wang Ping is the eldest son and will inherit the title in the future.

Although I don't have any title right now, captaincy is a position and I can't inherit it.

But it was not without purpose that Wang Cheng brought his eldest son Wang Ping with him.

Taking advantage of the current shortage of people under the Young Master, we should train the eldest son Wang Ping as soon as possible. In the future, it will not be a problem to hold an official position.

If you are more lucky, you might be able to get a title, and then your second son can inherit your title.

With a title like this, who would have too much time to spare?

"Young Master asked us to serve as suspects..." Wang Cheng said.

"Going to the battlefield?" Wang Ping licked his lips.

"If Zhang Han's army comes and Chen Tieshan's reinforcements have not arrived, we may have to go. If Chen Tieshan's reinforcements come, then it will be their business." Wang Cheng nodded.

"Great..." Wang Ping waved his fists excitedly. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Even every time I go on a mission, I look forward to a few eye-opening tribulations.

The heavy duty troops are really hard work. Due to the mission, the training intensity cannot be compared with that of the front-line troops.

But whenever there is no mission, they are training.

Another advantage of the heavy baggage troops is that their physical strength is not weaker than that of the front-line troops, and some are even stronger than them.

Those who have been pulling carts and pushing carts and walking on foot all year round will definitely not be able to keep up if their physical strength cannot keep up.

But it is a pity that Wang Ping has been looking forward to the stars and the moon for several months. Not to mention the disaster, there is no one who can't open his eyes to block the way.

Now that I finally have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, how can I not be happy?

"Too...too good?" Wang Cheng gasped heavily. Why did he suddenly want to kill this traitor? Did anyone come out to stop him?

"Of course, father, please think about it, this is the battle to found the country. For the young master, you can only be regarded as a bit of hard work, and no credit can be counted at all. But at your age, you will not be able to go to the battlefield again.

It's appropriate. I have been training with the army in the past few months, and my martial arts skills have also improved by leaps and bounds. I have become one with the soldiers. If I can make a contribution in this battle, when our family has merit and hard work, we can go to the young master to complain and get a title.

It shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Wang Ping has been looking for opportunities to melee, but reality simply does not give him this opportunity.

Every time the baggage train is dispatched, there are thousands of guards, thousands of vehicles, and the number of civilians is never less than 10,000. Who would dare to rob the road without opening their eyes?

Therefore, in Wang Ping's mind, although his father had merit, this merit was hard work.

There are many people who have been granted the title of marquis through military exploits, but I have never heard of anyone who was granted the title of marquis by transporting supplies.

According to the usual practice, Wang Ping felt that if he didn't have some military exploits, after the founding of the country, his father would be an eighteenth-level concubine at most. This was a reward given by Wang Buxu because his father spared no effort to support him in his early years.

If the enfeoffment was really based on merit, Wang Ping felt that there was a high probability that it would be a fifteenth-level junior or sixteenth-level senior scholar.

Although the level is not low, the opportunity to become a marquis is right in front of you. If you can't seize it, how can you have the nerve to meet your ancestors in the future?

"How can it be as easy as you think? We only have more than 10,000 soldiers and 60,000 civilians. It's okay to be a showman. Once we go to the battlefield, we will be unlucky. Although Zhang Han is in the hands of the young master,

He has been defeated many times, but he is not a headless person. He must not be blinded by his achievements!" Wang Cheng felt bitter in his heart. If he could be granted the title of Marquis, who wouldn't want it?

That Zhang Han is not a fool, he will be exposed as soon as he goes to the battlefield.

When the time comes, Zhang Han will focus on their direction and fight. Not to mention taking credit, whether he can survive is still a question.

"Father, people think of ways. Besides, you don't have to go there if you don't want to. Not to mention that the young master has already made arrangements, even if the young master orders us to leave, those civilian husbands will not agree!

"Wang Ping continued to persuade, Marquis, wouldn't it be nice for him to be the heir to the Marquis?

It's just a matter of a thought now. If it can be done now, why should it be solved in the future when you don't know when it will be done?

"Huh? What do you mean?" Wang Cheng was a little confused.

"It has been spread all over the world that the young master did not establish a country before because he only had Xingyang, which was not enough to establish a country. But if this battle is won, the young master can take over Sanchuan, Hanoi, Yingchuan, Dongjun, and part of Nanyang County.

The county seat and part of the county seat in Hedong County will be controlled by the Young Master by then, with seven counties under his control. The people under his rule will be at least five million. At such a scale, it would be difficult for the people to agree to it without establishing a country."

"And it is said that the young master once asked Chen Ping and Zhang Liang privately, saying that after the founding of the country, if the people under the rule are not taxed for three years, they will be exempted from taxes. If they follow the soldiers who go to war, they will be exempted from taxes for six years. How about that?" Wang Ping

Said in a decent manner.

Wang Cheng looked at his eldest son with confusion and asked, "Where did you hear this?"

"It is said that it was spread by Zhang Buyi..."

"Zhang Buyi?" Wang Cheng shook his head speechlessly and said, "I heard that that boy got slapped by the young master a lot because of his unbridled talk. In my opinion, nine out of ten of them are fake.

"

"Did father forget that the young master distributed food and divided the fields to the old man in Xingyang? It is said that those two pieces of news were also spread by Zhang Buyi, and they were both implemented." Wang Ping retorted.

"Can those things be the same as this time?" Wang Cheng glared at his eldest son: "When the country was first established, there were places where money, food and labor were needed everywhere. No taxes were levied or taxed for three or six years. Where did the money and food come from?

Where will the food for the army come from? In Aocang, Xingyang, and Gongxian, there are still about five million shi left, right? This can last for six years? Use your brain when encountering problems, and don't let the wind bring rain."

Wang Ping was a little depressed, and he didn't know what to say. He could only scratch his head and said firmly: "Father, it's useless for you to tell me this. Now the peasants are practicing howling one by one. Besides, the master's order has been given.

, can you still resist the order?"

Wang Cheng: MMP, when did I say I was going to disobey the order? I don’t want you to go to the battlefield, okay? Why can’t you hear the voice? Thanks for the reward and support that the sound and smile are still there! Regarding population, the records of the Qin Dynasty are almost

No, the only clues I can find are the records about various places in the geography of the Han Dynasty. Considering the different administrative regions, the loss of people after the troubled times of the late Qin Dynasty, and the relatively large population mobility in the Han Dynasty, I based on these factors

The population statistics of the Han Dynasty have been appropriately reduced. Regarding the map, I made a rough one. I will study it later and upload it. Finally, please recommend! Please recommend! Please recommend! If not, I will come back later.
