Chapter 303: Peninsula Mist
While [Tiangongmen] is engaged in infrastructure construction, [Shennongmen] also acts as a solid backing.
The ancient dynasties were most afraid of famine, but the advanced farming technology mastered by [Shennongmen], coupled with the steam farming equipment of "one enemy against ten thousand", allowed them to produce the most food with the least amount of manpower.
With the power of [Shennongmen], I dare not say that it is more than enough to feed the 30 million people of the Tang Dynasty, but what the Tang Dynasty has paid is only an agricultural autonomous region in the Hetao area.
If you can be full, the simplicity of the Chinese people makes people feel distressed!
[Shennongmen] used the least labor force to feed the largest number of people, and the rest was for Li Shimin to cooperate with [Tiangongmen] and liberate the agricultural population from the land and invest in the development of industry and infrastructure with the policy of half-levy, transfer and half-support.
According to the plan left by Bai Yuqi, the [Medical Holy Gate] tried to promote the urbanization of the population of the Tang Dynasty, and concentrated the limited population as much as possible in the imperial capital of Taiji.
And that doesn't seem to be a hard way to do.
Especially when the people of Datang found that they had worked hard for a year, it was better to go to Tiangongmen to work for a few days and earn more food.
In addition, the Taiji Emperor has become an earthly fairyland in the minds of the people of the Tang Dynasty, where delicious food, fun, and better welfare are all here.
You can get a salary if you work, you can be exempt from taxes if you have a baby, the official family will also take care of the children, the children will go to school when they grow up, and you can see the doctor for free when you are sick...... Fools don't go, right?
With the influx of a large number of people from the bottom of society into the Taiji Imperial Capital, the county and state capitals in some remote areas of the Tang Dynasty were almost empty.
And the "untouchables" who can be exploited are gone, and those propertied classes can naturally only look at their own large areas of land dumbfounded.
But even if there are still human races, it's useless, what are you doing with them?
The grain produced at the point of output can't be sold for seed money, and the grain stack in [Shennongmen] is about to sell the grain at a muddy price.
The landlord class, which could not survive, naturally had to find a way to sell its property and migrate to the capital of the Taiji Emperor.
Why don't you stay? Will their landlord Lao Cai and his family starve to death on patches of wasteland?
Or do you say that you are self-sufficient in farming your own fields? You can't sell the grain you grow, you can't buy anything if you have money, you can't see people when you go out for 100 miles, and you can't find a daughter-in-law for your stupid son......
This is an invisible trend, without using any radical means, to disintegrate the power of the family and the landlord class, and to concentrate the limited population of the Tang Dynasty on construction and development.
On the whole, Bai Yuqi is still satisfied with the current development trend of Datang.
He is not worried that bringing all the population of the entire Tang Dynasty to the Taiji Imperial Capital will affect the future development.
Because this is the largest "migrant wave" in history, it will inevitably bring the highly dense population back to the local area.
In fact, the population residing in the Taiji Imperial Capital is not as large as imagined...... When they all go out to work, can they grow food under their beds in the city?
However, the highly concentrated population is easy to manage and exert its strength, and with the spread of construction, the establishment of resource factories and mines, the rise of the service industry, the improvement of urban infrastructure, etc., the gathered population will inevitably disperse into various population concentration areas.
This mode of concentrating on the construction of the Tang Dynasty made the Tang monarchs and ministers tremble, and at the same time, they were repeatedly shocked by the power it exerted.
After a cursory understanding of the development situation after his departure, Bai Yuqi did not stay in the Taiji Imperial Capital for long, and soon gathered the disciples of Wujimen and directly requisitioned a special train to Liaodong.
There is no need for any grain and baggage, and before they set off, they have already issued a task to the Mercenary Guild through the Financial Chamber of Commerce to raise resources, and naturally there will be a large number of mercenaries escorting them to Liaodong, and the speed will not even be much slower than them.
And the reason why he had to go to the Taiji Imperial Capital was naturally Bai Yuqi's selfishness.
The highly dense population means a huge gathering of faith, and he has not come back for more than half a year, and it is estimated that the harvest wave of accumulated faith is enough for him to squander for a long time.
It's just that the regional limitations of this kind of harvesting faith have always been a problem that plagues Bai Yuqi, and it would be nice if he could draw faith remotely......
Because this trip was mainly for exploration, Bai Yuqi took away not many people, just a few hundred disciples of Wuji Gate, and the speed of action was very amazing.
What also made Bai Yuqi a little puzzled was that although the army mobilized by Li Shimin could not rush to the front line by steam train like them, the speed of action was definitely not slow.
It stands to reason that in that small place of Goguryeo, there was no time to even send the information back, so how could several large armies be gone?
But after Bai Yuqi and his disciples rushed to the front line, that is, the front line where the garrison personnel would not go missing, he noticed the abnormality.
Fog!
A gray mist that clings to the ground and spreads to the end of the eye.
According to the report of the Tang army scouts stationed here, they once rode horses along the fog area for ten days without end!
Sent people to outflank and explore from the periphery, only to find that this fog that did not disperse all day long enveloped almost the entire peninsula where Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla were located!
It's okay if you don't enter the fog area, but once you get in, you can't come back...... Unless it's on a rope!
The fog in the fog area is so thick that you can't see your fingers, and you can't touch it back without a rope, and the first few groups of troops are afraid that they will be lost in it because of this.
But how far can they go if they are tied to the rope? If the rope is hooked there, and accidentally pulls it off, they really can't come back.
The peninsula is mountainous and rugged, once you lose your way, you can't get out at all, no wonder tens of thousands of troops drove in, and they disappeared without even a bubble.
And this fog area is very strange, even if the wind does not disperse, it is still expanding day by day, at the beginning it has expanded ten zhang a day, and recently it has expanded a hundred zhang a day, and the camp where they are stationed has been retreated several times.
Reaching out and touching the thick gray mist like cotton, and then walking in to feel it himself, Bai Yuqi withdrew with a strange expression.
Fog of negative energy?
How could such a large scale of negative energy fog be condensed in this place?
This is something that even he has only seen in the knowledge system of the arcane civilization,
Generally, it is in the negative energy plane that such a thick negative energy fog is generated.
But he didn't sense the fluctuations in the plane, which means that it wasn't the plane rift that leaked again...... Isn't this a bit unscientific or arcane?
"Ten miles back!"
Bai Yuqi ordered with a somewhat serious expression, the situation was a little different from what he had expected before, and it seemed that he had to make some preparations before he could go in.
