Whether it is the production and construction corps or the collective farms, this model has stood the test of time and played an unparalleled role in the period when the productive forces were relatively backward.

Yang Hao believes that there is nothing wrong with today's Qi State borrowing this method.

Moreover, the state of Qi now also has a natural advantage in this regard, that is, a large number of new territories and a population that has just broken away from the primitive society.

And these places basically belong to the border areas of the Qi State.

The trial implementation of the collective farm system in these places can play a role in stabilizing the frontiers.

The first state-owned farm in Qi was set up in Yangzhou, on the southern coast.

The reason why I chose this place is because it is far from the border between Jingzhou and Jingzhou, and if something goes wrong, the imperial court can also react as quickly as possible.

The overall level of Jingyi and the two states is from the upper reaches of Qi State, which can also play a certain role in the development of Yangzhou.

State-run farms are not just farming, but also aquaculture.

The natural environment of the south is a natural place for raising poultry.

Yang Hao is ready to carry out large-scale poultry farming.

It's just that although it is large-scale, compared to later generations, it is only the level of a small workshop.

The reason why he does not plan to expand the scale is that Yang Hao is worried that the scale will be too large, in case something happens, with the epidemic prevention methods of Qi now, there is no resistance at all.

Yangzhou state-owned farms cover a vast area, including all three counties in Yangzhou near the Yangtze River.

Most of the output of these state-run farms will be owned by the imperial court, and the masters of the farms are more like workers working for the imperial court.

They don't have land, but they have a very objective income.

This kind of iron rice bowl work is no different from those state-owned enterprises in later generations.

No matter what time and space, what kind of social environment, if you can have an iron rice bowl, you are the object of envy of everyone.

In order to prevent the occurrence of workers cheating and cheating, the state farm will set corresponding standards for assessment every season.

Those who do not meet the requirements will be kicked out of the state farm.

And these landless people, once eliminated, life will be extremely difficult.

This sense of crisis naturally appeared in the hearts of the people of the three counties after the Yangzhou State Farm was completed in May of the 14th year of Hongwu.

Yang Hao is looking forward to how much surprise the state farm can bring to him.

If Yangzhou's pilot results are good, he plans to build farms in all states from next year, which is a last resort to improve the country's strength before the arrival of high-yield crops.

After all, Yang Hao is well aware of the disadvantages of state-owned enterprises, and this model will explode into strong productivity in a short period of time.

But over time, the state-run model will become ossified.

This thing is not something that anyone can control at all, and there is no good way to solve this disadvantage in either China in another time and space or Soviet Russia in the north.

And although Yang Hao became an emperor in this time and space, he didn't think that his ability could reach the height of those human spirits at all.

Helpless, but this step he knew he had to go on.

After the rough population statistics of Hongwu is early fourteenth year, until the end of the thirteenth year of Hongwu, not counting the four towns in Jiangbei, the total population of Qi has reached an astonishing three million, and the population growth is exponential.

It only took a few years to rise from about one million to three million, and if this trend continues, the population of Qi will exceed the level of 10 million people in about ten years.

This is only the Central Plains region of Jiangbei, if you count the wild people who have integrated into the barbarian land, as well as the Miao people in the four towns of Jiangbei, the total population of Qi State has reached a conservative estimate of about four million.

Four million people sounds like a lot, but the current land area of Qi is very large, and on average it is still vast and sparsely populated.

Such a vast land, according to Yang Hao's expectations, can at least allow tens of millions of people to live comfortably on this land.

If the high-yielding crops in the Americas break through this limit in the population of Qi country, it will plant a time bomb for the stability of Qi country.

In later generations, he saw the reasons for the cyclical demise of the Chinese dynasty, one of which was the theory of population saturation, and the existing land could no longer meet the needs of people's survival.

Add a number of external factors to the main cause of the demise of a dynasty.

Whether this theory is correct or not, Yang Hao does not know, but he has to think about it.

As the saying goes, those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a corner, and those who do not seek the general trend are not enough to seek a moment.

Population is the key factor that determines the strength of a country, Yang Hao longs for population, but while longing for population, he hopes that with his own ability, he can make his subjects live better.

He didn't want a human tragedy in which he starved and died all over the wilderness during his reign.

The sweltering heat of early summer did not stop the enthusiasm of Daqi's production and construction, and under the guidance of technical officials, the Central Plains area of Nuoda was like a state-owned farm that had been magnified countless times, and there was a busy scene everywhere.

After the last road was built to the official road of Chang'an, at the end of May of the 14th year of Hongwu, the six northern states could really say that all roads led to Chang'an.

The construction of roads is like the blood vessels of a country, and good roads can allow the imperial decrees to reach every corner of the ruling area as quickly as possible.

Moreover, it can also greatly promote trade and cultural exchanges between various states, which is especially important for a unified country.

Yang Hao can meet that for a long time in the future, the north with smooth roads will be the absolute economic center.

The six northern states were the heartland of the Qi State, and their status was equal to that of the eighteen provinces of the Han Dynasty in later generations.

As long as these six states become strong enough, the ability of Qi to radiate to the outside world will also be stronger.

Shortly after the completion of the new ironworks in Stillzhou, one day in mid-June, a new type of warship was launched at the Chang'an Cheng Dock.

This warship is different from the previous flat-bottomed warships of the Qi Kingdom, but presents the shape of a pointed bottom.

This shape is the best shape that has been repeatedly tested and calculated by the research institutes of the Academy of Sciences.

When Yang Hao saw this ship, his first reaction was shock, because this kind of ship was very close to the style of the ship that appeared in the Galle Pirate movie that he was more familiar with.

This is a ship floating in the water, which is significantly smaller in tonnage than the ship in the movie.

However, these are not the point, Yang Hao is most concerned about the performance of this ship, and whether it can bear the crowd of Qi ocean sailing.

The success or failure of this ship is related to the fate of this Qi country in the next few decades, and Yang Hao, who was standing on the dock, watched with great nervousness as the new ship slowly sailed away from the dock.
