Liu Bowen said.

Regarding the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Qin Yuan did not hide anything from Liu Bowen and asked him to prepare in advance.

Materials are the basis of war.

Food, in particular, is the top priority.

After Qin Yuan came back, he counted the troops under his command and found that the number had reached 1.6 million.

Only Qin Yuan can do this with the power of one county.

But the military's expenses are also very huge.

Fortunately, Qin Yuan has several channels to attract money.

Moreover, a large amount of resources were plundered outside the Great Wall, and after being converted into money, the amount actually reached 40 million taels of gold!

This is almost the tax revenue of Pingyun County in previous decades.

"This player can actually bring such huge profits"

"The head tax alone exceeds ten million taels of gold!"

Qin Yuan exclaimed.

He looked at the account book in his hand and couldn't believe it.

He thought about using various gray benefits and relaxing various restrictions to attract players to make money.

But I didn't expect that it could bring so much money.

And, this is just one of several.

In addition, the money exchanged for arms exceeded three million taels of gold.

Commercial trade taxes amounted to more than two million taels of gold.

The sale of land and shops reached 500 taels of gold.

He earned 5 million taels of gold through the transfer of troops and tiger talismans and related benefits.

In addition, income from the mining of ores and other resources, the sale of equipment and weapons, etc., reached more than 10 million.

It can be said that during the period when Qin Yuan attacked outside the Great Wall, Pingyun County's various sources of income were no less than 40 million taels of gold.

This is comparable to the gains made by Qin Yuan's army outside the Great Wall.

This is a very astonishing profit.

At the same time, Qin Yuan used these means to control the player group and tied them to their interests.

In particular, Liu Bowen also controlled all equipment channels built and sold in Pingyun County.

In Pingyun County, private casting and buying and selling of equipment is legal.

However, large-scale transactions need to be notified to the government. Only after obtaining the government's permission can they be sold to outsiders, and the government will draw a considerable commission.

It can even help them find corresponding buyers, etc.

In short, with the government's relaxed policies and the joint development of players, Pingyun County's business is getting bigger and bigger, even radiating to the entire Han Dynasty.

There are a large number of businessmen who come from thousands of miles away just to do arms business.

"Transactions with outside merchants mainly focus on raw materials, strategic materials, and food!"

"Today, our grain reserves have exceeded three billion units!"

"It's enough to maintain an army worth tens of millions, a year's expense!"

Liu Bowen and Qin Yuan were discussing.

In order to purchase these three billion units of grain, more than ten million taels of grain were spent.

Nowadays, there are constant natural disasters, serious disasters in various places, and the price of food has been rising.

Coupled with Pingyun County's crazy buying, food supplies in various places continue to rise.

Liu Bowen was able to purchase so much grain through various channels.

Moreover, they will also face blockade from other forces in Youzhou!

The development of Pingyun County and its crazy money-absorbing model can be said to have aroused the jealousy and dissatisfaction of all forces in Youzhou.

Some nobles even joined forces with county and county governments to try to imitate Pingyun County's business model. Although they also made some money, they were still not as good as Pingyun County.

It even developed and became the middle and lower reaches trading market of Pingyun County, which made those forces very angry.

"Well, food is the top priority!"

"However, three billion units of food is still too little!"

"Except for the funds to maintain daily operations, the rest of the money is used to purchase food!"

"By the way, add trading restrictions to some items and barter them in exchange for food!"

Qin Yuan said to Liu Bowen.

Even though three billion units of food is a lot, it really cannot withstand consumption.

Nowadays, wars are often fought on a scale of tens of millions.

Especially, Qin Yuan is not fighting alone.

Behind him, there is a huge Yellow Turban Army!

Compared to them, who were extremely rich, the Yellow Turban Army was extremely poor.

After all, those who participated in the Yellow Turban Army were basically ordinary people who were forced to have no choice but to survive.

Therefore, Qin Yuan has to consider not only Pingyun County but also the supplies of his own army.

Also consider the entire Yellow Turban Army.

It's not that Qin Yuan has great kindness.

But it affects his future plans.

If the situation is difficult, the Yellow Turban Army will inevitably end in failure.

Qin Yuan must make plans for the future development of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

At that time, the three Zhang Jiao brothers died, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion basically failed.

But Qin Yuan doesn't want to be buried with Zhang Jiao, he must find a chance to survive in troubled times.

The army he currently has alone is not enough.

The best way to expand its power is to recruit and take over the forces of the original Yellow Turban Army.

This was an army capable of overthrowing the Han Dynasty.

Even if you accept a part of it, it will be enough to dominate any state and fight against the imperial court.

Otherwise, his future development will definitely be very difficult!

As for breaking away from the Yellow Turban Army and joining the imperial camp now, Qin Yuan had actually thought about this and discussed it with Liu Bowen and other famous generals.

But it's actually not realistic.

Because he does not have any foundation in the imperial court, once he joins the imperial camp, he will be squeezed out and suppressed by many parties, and his final development will not be as good as it is now.

In fact, he has been labeled as a Yellow Turban Army and will not gain the trust of the court.

At the same time, his betrayal will also arouse the anger of the Yellow Turban Army.

Maybe, the Yellow Turban Army will send a large army to attack him.

In the end, there is a high probability that the gain outweighs the loss.

As for the benefits of joining the Yellow Turban Army camp, as Qin Yuan considered, taking over a large number of Yellow Turban Army troops after the Yellow Turban Rebellion would be enough for him to dominate one side.

In addition, the Yellow Turban Rebellion will last for a long time from its outbreak to its end.

During this period, many territories were occupied by the Yellow Turban Army.

This is also a good opportunity for Qin Yuan to expand his territory.

If he joins the imperial camp, Qin Yuan will not be able to occupy these territories. Even after the Yellow Turban Rebellion is over, they will be taken back by the imperial court in various names. How could Qin Yuan do this thing of working for others in vain?

"OK!"

Liu Bowen nodded.

In fact, he has been doing work in this area and has done a very good job.

There are no real internal affairs talents under Qin Yuan.

Therefore, Liu Bowen is basically doing all the affairs in Pingyun County, no matter how big or small.

As for the previous officials in Pingyun County, their abilities were still far behind.

If Liu Bowen had not coordinated the overall situation, Pingyun County would not have developed so fast.
