Regardless of whether it is a Roman or a Persian, even the most steadfast among them, the people, the people, the clan, the righteous, and the righteous, everyone admits that as long as no accidents happen, the Han Empire will always It is not one of the most powerful empires in the known world.

It is calculated from all aspects of national cultural heritage to population, economy, force and territory area, etc. Although the calculation method is not so reliable, it will never produce subversive and wrong calculation results.

"It's not difficult to check..." Cicero put down the tea cup in his hand and said: "According to the official data released by Cyris, after their census this year, they got 5.78 million households. 31 million people."

Julian is also drinking tea. They are in a private teahouse in Chang'an.

When the emperor went on a tour, Chang'an didn't show much change, except that the carriages of two ministers could not be seen converging to Miyagi for three days, otherwise it would be normal.

It can even be said that because the emperor is not in the capital, many people's mentality has been more relaxed, and they feel a little bit of letting go. Some noble sons and the second generation of officials make a noise after a short distance.

"Although the Seris people did not announce their age level, it is not difficult to guess at all." Cicero likes to drink tea, especially green tea. When first drinking it, it is bitter, but the tongue can gradually taste sweet, especially for the body. Very good. He rubbed the porcelain teacup with one hand, and slowly said: "Based on their twelve-year census statistics in Yuanshuo, it is estimated that by this year, the number of adults in Syris is estimated to be about eight million."

Julian also likes to drink tea, but what he likes is the way to drink the tea with condiments and oil soup. He thinks this way of drinking is the way that nobles should have.

"From this data, we can find one thing." Cicero looked quite excited, and did not lower his voice: "The citizens of Seris have fallen into absolute infantilization, and probably every family has at least three babies."

Julian had already deduced this result, and he was equally excited about it.

Imagine that every family in a country has at least three babies or children. How much effort should parents put in to feed their children, and how much energy should they put on their children?

You have to work hard to make money, and you have to take care of your children when you are not working.

Anyone with children will know that as long as they are children, there is no time for noisiness. Most children can stop a little during the day except when they are sleeping. Otherwise, as long as they have their eyes open, they will be noisy all the time, so that those who take care of them need to be focused at all times. When the energy is on the child, over time, it is either easy to be irritable or neurasthenia.

"I know that in most Serris families, the number of babies living in cities is smaller, and there are generally more than five children in villages." Julian has not only traveled in the Han Empire in recent years, he can With this convenience, in addition to carefully drawing maps, it is to examine the living conditions of the Han people: "The life pressure of the Seris people in the city is far greater than that in the local villages. Although they are all Seris people, they have different thoughts. Change."

Simply put, there are too many places to spend money to live in the city, especially since they no longer farm by themselves, that is, every grain of rice and leaf vegetable needs to be bought with money. Secondly, living in the city will inevitably have a more obvious comparison psychology. The neighbors in the unreasonable neighborhood are all glamorous, but they are wearing shabby or patched clothes.

In many cases, even if it is borrowing money, people in the city will dress themselves up for the sake of face, and they can't even go badly in terms of food. Otherwise, not only will they feel embarrassed, but they will even have no friends at all.

"I don't know if your Royal Highness has noticed it." Cicero thought with a look on his face and said: "The Serris who farms and the Serris who participates in the handicraft industry are slowly becoming two absolutely different groups of people."

Julian was taken aback for a moment, and then did not show any happy expressions, on the contrary, his face was slowly covered by haze.

Rome has long discovered that as long as there is no shortage of food, the increase in the number of people participating in industry is actually the biggest contribution to the increase in national power.

The greater the number of workshops in a country, the more the country’s products will inevitably be. As long as it can provide a market for selling goods, it can further stimulate the handicraft industry, and at the same time, the country’s commodity tax revenue will be higher.

"We are raising eighteen unproductive regiments who can't breathe." Julian took a gloomy sip of the tea, which was full of oily soup, and continued: "Our standing legion has only five thousand people in each legion. Cyris There are fifteen standing legions..., no, there are already sixteen. There are thirteen old standing legions, each with a staff of 15,000. Their Tiger Ben Army and Habayashi Army, one is 8,000 The other has an establishment of 30,000 people. The firearms corps at the beginning had an establishment of only 3,000 people, but now it has increased by 15,000."

Then, the number of adult men who are not engaged in production in the entire Han Empire is close to 250,000.

Production is only one aspect. What needs to be considered is the necessary investment. For example, how much does a soldier in the standing army cost for a piece of equipment, and how much does it cost to eat and drink.

It is even more necessary to calculate the construction of training grounds, as well as many necessary expenses and maintenance costs.

Rome couldn't get the annual army expenditure of the Han Empire, even the total data, let alone know the expenditure and maintenance cost of an army.

"Keep the original (cold weapon) Serris Legion, the infantry corps is not in combat, and the annual cost should be around 8,000 gold coins?" Cicero relied entirely on guessing, and said that the data was verified: "The soldiers of the Han Empire don't have a salary. The land they get when they join the army is regarded as an advance salary. Those expenses are spent on equipment and food."

Rome has gone through the age of officers in power, and ushered in an era in which salaries are required for entering the army, regardless of whether it is a national regular army or a private army.

The Han Empire didn’t have the term “salary”. If they could get something in peacetime, they would use the term “reward”. At the same time, there is no rule that there will be a "reward" every month, every quarter, or every year. It is only possible to get a "reward" on some special festivals.

This is really admired by all countries, especially Rome.

While Rome admired it, it was completely incomprehensible that the Han Empire had no salary for the army of the Han Empire and still possessed such a strong combat power and fighting will. At the same time, it was eager to know the secrets.

"The Serris people have a corvee system. This system is a system that has been implemented thousands of years ago to the present." There are so many books in Julian that are not for nothing: "They have long been accustomed to only giving and not rewarding. This generation The emperor gave land when they were in service, and he is already considered the most kind and generous emperor."

In fact, Rome also had a long period of compulsory enlistment. During that period, it was only after enlisting to become a citizen, and at the same time, it was possible to obtain land after becoming a citizen.

In Rome’s "Citizen Age" stage, enlisting in the army was not the most attractive place. It happened to be the stage of rapid expansion of Rome. The biggest source of income for soldiers was participation in wars. The bounty was only part of it, and more. Can make a fortune in the army's collection of 1 body, 1 robbery and 1 robbery.

The army of the Han Empire without salary is almost exactly the same as the "Citizen Age" in Rome. The difference is that Rome changed its system, but the Han Empire still implemented the "classical" system.

"Is it possible to start from this aspect?" Julian was asking as he said, rather than talking to himself when thinking: "Let the soldiers of Serris have more demands!"

Cicero was lost in thought.

Including Rome and Persia, it can even be said that all countries that are unwilling to be looted and suppressed, it is not that they have not thought of inciting turmoil within the Han Empire.

Everyone searched for a large circle, and was surprised to find that as long as the royal family was not chaotic, the ruling structure would be extremely stable.

The imperial family of the Han empire, the only adult is Han Tianzi. This makes all countries almost feel incredible and at the same time incomprehensible. The rulers of the countries they know can step from being ruled to becoming rulers. Without exception, they are all powerful families themselves. Because the family itself is strong enough to become the new ruler family.

How can a powerful family be sparsely populated? In addition to having the financial resources to support the armed forces, there will also be a large number of talents. With these foundations, there will be a chance to rise through the obstacles.

A family with a small population, under normal circumstances, is not necessarily more than self-protection. There is almost no basis for expansion. Everything is only because the group of people with blood ties is the most trustworthy when "starting up". These people who have blood ties are When "starting a business" by themselves, the group of people who have no blood relationship are just "working".

It's hard to change jobs if you have blood relationship, let alone destroy your own career. Without blood relationship, you can do something that destroys "entrepreneurship" at any time. To put it bluntly, it is a relationship of trust. Usually, even if outsiders have more abilities, when appointed to do a certain task, they will still choose their own family members who are related by blood.

They knew that Liu Yan was just a lonely person at the beginning of the "enterprise". They were shocked. They couldn't understand how Liu Yan could make his "career" bigger and bigger under the condition of being lonely, and they couldn't understand those who had no blood relationship with Liu Yan. How could the subjects be suspicious, or even show loyalty. This situation is almost unreasonable and unreasonable for their country.

No matter how unsustainable it is, Liu Yan "single-handedly" did what all countries thought was absolutely impossible. Not only did he use his "self" to fight for a country, he even made this country a hegemonic existence.

If it is only to manage a country to the point of being a regional hegemony, most countries will actually not know what is happening on that piece of land in the east. However, the Han empire suddenly entered the field of vision of all countries, or with The way of an expedition across the sea to destroy a regional hegemony has stepped onto the world stage.

The way of destroying and occupying a country is well known. There is no cooler way to play than this!

"I will return home in a while." Julian said in an orderly manner: "Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, for the plan just mentioned, try to make Serris's army mess up. Even if it doesn't cause it. The chaos will also make Seris’s soldiers think that they have not been taken seriously!"

Cicero responded with a wry smile, and asked afterwards: "That group of Persians have been trying to contact the princess, are there any results?"

"Seris' system is very special, not so similar to all countries." Julian knew what Cicero was asking, and he had already given the answer: "We are also trying, and there is no result. The Serris has one. In other words, the palace is like the sea. After entering, it is like sinking into the sea. It can be seen that it is not so easy to connect."

"Actually..." Cicero hesitated and said, "There is almost no possibility of success."

Roman Augusti’s wife can meet so many people, if she wants to do something there is no shortage of opportunities~lightnovelpub.net~ but there has never been a problem in this area.

The harem system of the Han Empire is much more complicated and strict than that of Rome or any other country, especially when dealing with concubines of foreign races.

"As far as we know, Han Tianzi is not staying with them at all, and will leave later when he wants to sleep." Cicero said this is very early information: "Unless we can buy two people, the queen, Or De Fei."

"Is it possible for the concubine of the Han Empire to buy it?" What Julian knew was that the concubine's ethnic group was destroyed: "As long as people have feelings, she must have thought of avenging her mother's clan? "

Cicero has nothing to say about this. What he knew was that Tuoba Xiu had a very good reputation, and he was also favored by Liu Yan.

"We are not sure!" What Cicero wanted to say was that they couldn't reach anyone in the harem at all, and said with a wry smile: "Don't try, or even stop the Persians from trying. Now is not the time to stun snakes."

"No." Julian said in another way: "Let the Persians try. No matter what they achieve, they will at least get the Emperor Han into trouble. If the Emperor Han wants to retaliate, it will also be revenge on the Persians. It is only good for us. harm."

Cicero thought for a while, and thought it was the same thing.

They are uniting to conquer the Han Empire, and they are about to enter a state of hostility, but they still have to distinguish who the Han Empire is more hostile, and it is appropriate for the Persians to meet the more anger of the Han Empire.

If the Han Empire chooses to cross-sea expedition, or even land directly in Constantinople, they certainly think they will win the final victory in the defense war, but they really don't want to see such a result.
