"Huh? What's wrong? Any questions? ”

Gu Xirou saw him looking at herself with a strange expression, and asked suspiciously.

"Uh, no, nothing!"

Lin Quan touched his nose, and before the others could react, he quickly took Gu Xirou's hand and ran away!

The elevator is very crowded, and this line is one of the few lines that cross the river, so some people who go to Jiangbei will choose to take this subway, so there are a lot of people on the car.

Naturally, there was no seat or anything, Lin Quan took Gu Xirou's hand and squeezed into a corner close to the side, protected her inside, and blocked herself from the outside, otherwise others approached her, after all, such a beautiful girl, as soon as she got on the subway, she immediately became the object of the staring eyes of many male livestock in the car!

"It's crowded!"

Gu Xirou frowned, and two words popped out of her mouth.

Lin Quan smiled bitterly and nodded, "It's a little crowded, there are more people in the world on our side, it's like this, there are crowds of people everywhere!" ”

There are many people, from childhood to adulthood, Lin Quan is completely used to it, but Gu Xirou is not from this world, and she will definitely not be used to such a scene for a while!

"Well, there's a lot of people, and your city looks huge!"

Although Gu Xirou hasn't seen much in the past few days, although the buildings in this place are strange, they are very tall and dense, and there are a lot of things on the street that Lin Quan calls cars, coming and going, the speed is fast, and there seem to be people sitting inside, exactly the same as the thing they caught at the beginning, these things make her feel amazing.

"Yes, the area is about more than 10,000 square kilometers, and if you look at the urban area alone, there are at least 2,000 square kilometers, after all, it is a big city with more than 10 million people, and it is easy to understand if it is larger!"

"More than 10 million people?"

Xirou was frightened by his number, although she couldn't understand the number of square kilometers in front of her, but she could still understand the figure of more than 10 million people.

"Well, this is still the permanent population, and the floating population is not counted, so the real number should be only a little more!"

Lin Quan smiled, the domestic economy is hot in the east and cold in the west, the economy of the eastern coastal areas is relatively developed, and the big cities are also relatively concentrated, for example, the magic capital and several big cities in the south are by the sea, they are all very large first-tier cities, and the inland economy is slightly worse, and the cities are inferior, but there are several cities in the central region that are still quite large, and the geographical location of Jiangcheng is relatively good, because it is the thoroughfare of nine provinces, and the waterways and railways are relatively developed, so it has a relatively large attraction to the population of this region. According to the current trend, large cities will become bigger and bigger because of more abundant resources and more perfect infrastructure, so Jiangcheng, which is far away from the eastern coastal areas, has gradually begun to develop, attracting a lot of people in the central part of the country and developing into the top ten large cities.

"So many people? So how to solve the problem of food? You must know that the more than one million people in Anlan City need to mobilize food from the Kanto region to replenish it, and in order to supply the food of Anlan City, the places around the royal city are basically land directly under the central government, so as to ensure the safety of food! ”

Gu Xirou's expression became serious, she stared at Lin Quan's eyes for a long time, making sure that Lin Quan was not lying to her, but she was still a little skeptical about the number Lin Quan gave.

"Grain? More than 10 million people are indeed a bit of a problem, but our grain here can actually be mobilized from the railway network, and the north is a large grain-producing province, and transporting grain is not a big problem, plus the grain in that province can also be self-sufficient, and it is more convenient to transfer and transport, and there will not be a big gap. ”

Lin Quan scratched his head, he was not very familiar with how to maintain the food supply of a city of more than 10 million people, but these things are not difficult to think, after all, the current transportation is relatively convenient, unlike the ancient transportation that relied on manpower and animal power, which was more troublesome and inefficient, and most of it was wasted on the road.

The progress of modern transportation may be the main reason why cities are getting bigger and bigger, but without adequate supplies, cities are indeed difficult to maintain.

"Rail network? What's that? ”

Gu Xirou became interested in what Lin Quan said, listening to Lin Quan's meaning, this thing seems to be more advanced than Cao Yun? It can actually support the transportation of food for 10 million people!

"Well, it's something similar to the one we sit on now, but there are several of them, one of which is specially used to pull goods, there can be more than 50 carriages at a time, and thousands of tons of goods can be transported at a time, if it is to transport food, about five trains are enough for a day's food consumption in this city!"

Lin Quan said that many units Gu Xirou had never heard of, but when she heard that it only took five times to meet the food consumption of a 10 million people for a day, her eyes widened and her face was in disbelief!

It is indeed unbelievable, the emergence of the railway, so that the cost of transportation on land has been greatly reduced, the reason why the industrial age has developed so fast, is because the transportation of materials has become convenient and cheap, so a large number of materials and manpower can be quickly mobilized, and then support further development, if it is still in the stage of horse-drawn carts and ox-carts pulling goods, such a large city is simply unimaginable!

"Then, that solves the problem of transportation, where do you go to find so much farmland to grow so much food?"

Gu Xirou still has some doubts, the main reason why the population of Anlan City far exceeds that of other cities and can reach millions of people is that a large area around them is plains, and there are rivers all around, which can fully provide irrigation, making the land in this area relatively fertile and the grain yield is relatively high, so it can support so many people, if the location of Anlan City is not good, and the surrounding fields are relatively small, it is impossible to support such a large population.

Anlan City is still like this, this city with a population ten times that of Anlan City, if you want to find a supply of food, how many fields do you need!

"In fact, there doesn't seem to be much, although the place we are in is considered the Jianghan Plain, but the area is relatively small, not a real plain, but our agriculture is much more developed than yours, we have fertilizers and pesticides here, plus rice seeds have been improved, so the yield, the yield per mu can generally reach more than 600 kilograms, well, converted into catties, it is almost 1200 catties!"

"1200 pounds? An acre of land? ”

Gu Xirou's eyes widened wider than just now, this number was simply too surprising to her!
