I, Liu Bang, the Han Dynasty succubus

but...

"Paying wages is to get the money back." Liu Ji said another key point.

Ok?

Ok?

"These soldiers will get their salaries, buy land, buy houses, start families, have children, and then... we will provide them with better seeds, better fertilizers, better education... and then get the money back."

Everyone was horrified.

Zhang Ping'er immediately said, "So, this requires us to provide better things. Our seeds and fertilizers must be good, so that we can sell them at a high price!"

Li Sisi went on to say, "This will cause a large amount of wealth to be concentrated in scientific research and education, so it will naturally attract talented people to come in..."

Huo Manman thought and said, "In this way, the operation of the entire society will be centered on the soldiers. The soldiers will be well treated and have a strong sense of honor, so their combat effectiveness will be extraordinary."

The three of them said together, “So, we must give soldiers high salaries, and the salaries must be much higher than they imagine.”

This is the situation that only exists during wartime, and it is also the way to resolve wartime problems.

Liu Ji nodded...

Then, he said something confusing: "You are all right... but this is only part of it. There is a more important point."

what is that?

All three of them looked confused.

Volume 158: Base Areas

Paying soldiers high salaries not only has the advantages mentioned above, but also has a more important advantage, but...what is it?

Everyone thought hard...but couldn't come up with any answer, so they could only look to Liu Ji.

Liu Ji smiled and said, "Bloodsucking and exploitation."

what?

How do you say this?

The man went on to say, "The reason why we have to set a price for our achievements is not only to sell them to our own people, but also to sell them to others, to noble families, to the emperor, and to foreigners!"

shock!

Everyone else was stunned...all trapped in a thinking trap, they couldn't figure it out.

"Why... should we sell the things we worked so hard to develop to other people?" Zhang Yan asked the question that was on everyone's mind.

But, Li Sisi has figured it out...

Only she, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, understood the key here.

She spat out two words: "Profit!"

"What we develop will bring huge profits. If we sell it to other people, it would be like sucking their blood and exploiting them."

"Our small society alone cannot support such a large system... We must suck blood and exploit others. If there are enemies we cannot defeat for the time being, we will sell them good things to make them dependent on us and weaken little by little!"

"But, if we sell it to them, won't they become stronger?" Zhang Ping'er asked naturally.

Li Sisi smiled and said, "If we sell them, can they make them? Our seeds, our fertilizers, and even our weapons are all developed by ourselves. Only we can produce them. Once they buy them... they can't leave them behind. They have to keep buying! And we will extract a lot of profits from them. These profits can be turned into materials, minerals, manpower, and all kinds of things we urgently need."

shock...

This is really blood-sucking and exploitative.

Now everyone figured it out.

I didn't expect that such a small policy of paying soldiers' salaries would lead to so many consequences.

In this day and age, soldiers don’t even have food to eat, let alone wages. If they were really paid, it’s hard to imagine how fanatical these soldiers would be.

With honor and treatment...what will these guys become on the battlefield? They will crush the armies of their time.

Along with the salary, there is also a pension, which must be paid at a high amount...

Because these things will be taken back, there is no need to worry about them being lost. If the pension is high, the soldiers will not have to worry about what will happen after their death.

They can already imagine what this team will become in the future...it has only one direction, and that is to encompass the entire world.

Liu Ji took out two books, handed them to Zhang Yan, and said, "These are some tips on breeding and fertilizer. Go back and read them slowly. Find someone who is capable of reading and study them slowly."

Zhang Yan stretched out his hands, knelt down and took it.

With only these two thousand people now, there is no scientific research atmosphere and no foundation at all. It is nonsense to ask them to start from scratch.

So...Liu Ji spent ten points to buy two of the most basic and simplest books from the mall.

But these two books...will cause huge waves in the future!

They are where it all started...

And this beginning can only be provided by Liu Ji, no one else can do it.

Everyone stared at the two books...They all knew what these two thin books represented, and there was a whole world behind them.

Zhang Yan put them away solemnly, lifted up her clothes and put them close to her body.

Then, Huo Manman asked, "Liu Ji, how do we get to Zhuo County? Go there to recruit people, and then fight the barbarians to the death?"

Regarding the base and how to develop it, that is Zhang Yan's business, but how to fight the war... is Huo Manman's business.

Before Liu Ji could answer.

Zhang Yan said coldly, "How many people do we have? We only have 2,000 people at most. I can give you 500 at most, not one more."

Five hundred people? The barbarians in Zhuo County numbered a full 100,000. Five hundred people were not enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.

"How can we fight with so few people?" Huo Manman was anxious.

"I don't care, I'll just give you these, no more!" Zhang Yan refused to give in.

Zhang Ping'er said, "Why not... recruit another group?"

Recruiting people is Zhang Ping'er's specialty. The two thousand people in the camp now were also recruited by her... Just looking at Zhang Ping'er's image and temperament, ordinary people would kneel down and call her an angel when they see her.

There's no way... She's been in this business for too long, and recruiting people is easy for her.

Before Liu Ji could speak, Zhang Yan and Huo Manman looked at her coldly, "Then why did we come to Xihe County instead of staying in Zhuo County?"

Oh..

Now I remember that it was because life in Zhuo County was too difficult...so I was forced to run here.

Now they are in a dead end again...They can only turn to Liu Ji for help.

Liu Ji frowned...

They guessed what Daozu was thinking. Why bother him for such a small matter? He was about to leave...

"Master Daozu..." Zhang Yan knelt down gently.

"Master Daozu..." Huo Manman knelt down.

"Dao...Daozu..." Zhang Ping'er finally used this title.

Now we have a clear idea of ​​how to develop and build the base. The only thing left is how to recruit people and how to survive in Zhuo County.

As long as this piece is completed...then they will become truly complete.

But they racked their brains and couldn't think of a good solution for this... There were only 500 troops that could be mobilized from the base, but they had to face an army of 100,000. How could they fight?

This is completely impossible.

Everyone looked at Liu Ji, waiting for his instructions.

Even Li Sisi came over and pressed hard against the man, saying, "Don't hide it, just tell them."

Liu Ji didn't move.

Li Sisi added, "They are still young and lack experience. Aren't they waiting for your support? If you don't ask for it, they won't make it to the next day."

The three of them looked ashamed...

Liu Ji personally directed the entire process of building this base, from its formation to its construction. Now only the last step is left... They still can't do it, and can only rely on Liu Ji's guidance.

Li Sisi is right...

Without Liu Ji, these people would not be able to hold on for long.

Liu Ji lowered his head and thought for a while, then said three words: "Base!"

what?

Everyone was stunned...

What does base area mean?

Why can the base defeat the barbarians?

Volume 159: Armed Forces Behind Enemy Lines

Regarding how to develop Zhuo County, Liu Ji gave three words: "base!"

But these three words made everyone present stunned...

What does this mean?

Liu Ji explained, "The base is to build a territory of our own in the ravines and valleys, where the enemy will never go. The barbarians' goal is to rob food, and they will never go to those poor places or those places with inconvenient transportation."

Oh...

It turned out to be the case.

That’s right, the barbarians will definitely not go to those places. They only need to send a very small number of people to occupy these remote places, and the barbarians will not care.

There are a large number of such places in Zhuo County, and they can occupy countless of them.

But the problem is...

Zhang Yan said, "Master Daozu, those places are remote because they don't produce grain. The farmers there already have a hard time living. If we go there..."

Yes, that's the problem.

You are safe in the base, the barbarians will not look for you...

But you can't develop.
