Chapter 123: Development Statistics

The autumn harvest was completed as scheduled, and a week of continuous high-intensity labor made the harvesting task complete with quality and quantity, and in just one week, the barns of the government and the people were piled up with almost breaking the top, so much food made almost everyone feel like they were in a drunken dream, and only now did Lelouch understand why the human race was able to rely on the heaven-sent land to rise, and why it was able to support such a huge project as the White City and the Horn Fortress.

It may be that the prosperous Terrans do not have the enthusiasm for work that the advanced system of the garrison inspires, but at least they have a large size and a stable environment, both of which can generate amazing economic power by relying on the rich heaven-sent land.

"My lord, this is the statistical work report of this year's autumn harvest. ”

At the celebration dinner, Kenon recounted in an unusually excited tone, after the data of the autumn harvest was counted, it can be said that Kennon, who was the first to come into contact with the data, couldn't suppress his excitement at all, and even his tone of voice was slightly trembling:

"This year's autumn harvest, because of the abundant manpower and stable environment, the whole farming environment is exceptionally good, not a small good, but a big good, plus a certain hydraulic project built in the early stage, our land is also guaranteed, of course, the most indispensable of which is the kindness and kindness of Lord Leluch. ”

After a long series of explanations and sycophants, Kenon finally cleared his throat in the expectant eyes of everyone:

"This year's harvest yielded 50 million tonnes of wheat !! (621 million tonnes a year under China's modern industrialization)"

Shock, great shock!

Although everyone knows that this year's harvest will be particularly amazing, but no one expected that there will be so much, the output of grain in ancient times directly means the strength of a country, the 50 million tons of grain directly illustrate a problem, that is, the garrison in the economy, has completely surpassed the other four major forces of the heaven-sent land, you know, this is just the garrison settled down for a year, if you give a few more years, the reclaimed land is further expanded, the population further increases, the output will definitely only increase, will not shrink。

In the eyes of the outside world, this may be the most direct proof that Lu Lu Xiu is a son of God, but Lu Lu Xiu knows that this is completely due to the knowledge of his own future generations, and it is this knowledge that makes everyone in the garrison area be carried into a rope, when nearly a million people are fighting for the same goal, the power that bursts out of this burst will naturally make others for miracles.

For example, in the 50 million tons of grain, how much wheat is the main output, and the number of mushrooms, vegetables, fruits, chickens, ducks, eggs, etc., which are produced by small farmers, is only the output of the latter few combined, which is less than one-tenth of the output of wheat.

Lelouch also has such statistics in his hand, Lelouch looked at the face with a smile, so much food, the people keep half, the government keeps half, the people ensure the food demand, and the government can be used to continue to attract displaced people, improve finance, can also be used as a strategic reserve, to avoid natural disasters or major events, and in ancient times, among the common currency between the various forces, in addition to real money, food is also one of them, and even relative to the first two, the control of food access is extremely strict, because more food means more population, more population, means a strong force。

Although in Middle-earth, the fertility of the Terrans is too far from those who are known for their fertility, but it is not low, if the food is enough, the population growth of the Terrans is enough to have a burst of growth in twenty years, that is, as long as Lelouch can defend the Horn Fortress, then even if Lelouch does not attack the other four realms, only relying on the continuous export of food, the Terrans are enough to bring the population back to the heyday of the empire in twenty years.

To tell the truth, twenty years is not a long time, but my Great Celestial Empire has the spare strength to develop after a full forty years of cultivation and recuperation, and with the foreshadowing in the early stage, the Celestial Empire can really catch up with Britain and the United States in just twenty years, so Lu Luxiu only has twenty years to be able to restore the vitality of the human race in the heyday of the Heaven-sent Land, which in itself is already an extremely miraculous and quick achievement.

"With so much wheat, then I can finally raise pigs and cattle on a large scale, and with these wheat bottoms, the food structure can also be adjusted, for example, in addition to wheat, you can also grow some soybeans, and, cotton!"

Agriculture-based commodity economy is naturally about producing crops that bring commercial value in addition to the food it needs, and what could be more commercially valuable than soybeans and cotton?

Soybeans can be ground oil, can be used as concentrate feed to breed cattle or war horses, this important animal, and soybeans and forage and leftovers mixed feed, is also a sharp tool for raising pigs, the same input, the amount of pig meat is far higher than that of cattle, and Lelouch also fantasizes about large-scale cattle farming, tractors we can't count on, is it not possible to count on cattle farming?

Therefore, it is even more unlikely that Lelouch will kill cattle, so soybeans will definitely be clocked.

In addition to soybeans, cotton is also a good thing, Lelouch has ordered people to find the whereabouts of cotton as early as when he was in Limburg, originally Lelouch was afraid that there was no such crop in Middle-earth, but in the end he found it, although no one planted it, but it is also more common, under the planting and collection of Lelouch effect, as long as there are manpower, the seeds are definitely no problem.

And with cotton, there was the industrial revolution, even if it was only light industry, that was industry, what happens when agrarian civilization and nomadic civilization meet industrial civilization? The sun never sets on Great Britain's empire and prosperous colonial economy are the best examples.

And to be honest, the nobles may have silk as a comfortable clothing for the elves, but for the commoners, it is unlikely, the elves are few, and silk is abundant, so it is possible for the elves to wear silk as ordinary clothes, but this is unlikely for the Terrans, what the Terrans need is a cheaper alternative, and what is more comfortable than sackcloth, and cheaper than silk, is there anything else besides cotton?

With wheat as the foundation, Lelouch finally had the courage to start the construction of commercial agriculture on his own.

Pigs, soybeans, and cotton, these three things will be the strongest shield to support Lelouch's Terran empire and conquer the world
