Chapter 427 I want to be higher than the Heavenly Princess
Apocalypse will think about it for yourself!
Anyway, Yang Dudu actually fooled him, at this time, the good land of the guard has already been divided up by those generals, or it is directly stolen and sold, and the rest of those military households are only the worst......
In fact, even the military households are running out, Yang Xin investigated in Guizhou before, the smallest population of the shortage of health is more than two-thirds, although Huguang is definitely better than Guizhou, but it is a miracle that the 5,000 personnel can exceed 4,000. But in general, these guards can still have a hundred thousand acres for the three kings, and they have no problem living normally in the past, especially Jingzhou and Hengyang have a very high yield per mu, even if the yield per mu of poor land is two stone valleys.
It is no worse than the Taihu Lake Circle.
The yield per mu of farmland in the area of Jingzhou Fuguo even exceeds five stones.
As for the ...... of Shida
That's not what Yang Xin is worried about.
Those civil officials will be entangled with the apocalypse, originally in history, until the death of the apocalypse, they did not give the three kings more than one million acres, until the early years of Chongzhen, King Hui gave the land to 800,000.
And then that's it.
The Three Kings' biggest investment was actually to build them a house.
Luckily, this one has reinforced concrete.
After Yang Xin entered the palace to see the apocalypse, he immediately went to his own hospital, Xiaocao is currently in charge of this hospital, as for the main doctor, of course, Lao Wang, Wang Huazhen was also amnesty, but imprisoned for three generations. In this case, he will be an honest doctor, but he has found his position, and he has recently been affirmed by the Apocalypse, and His Majesty the Emperor often comes and goes.
In this case, he should take advantage of the promising profession of becoming a doctor!
Yang Dudu then returned to his home.
Newcastle.
"Yes, that's it!"
Yang Dudu looked at a picture in front of him with satisfaction, which looked like a dolphin bay.
More than a dozen whales are being slaughtered.
However, these are not giant whales, and it is difficult to see sperm whales in Bohai Bay, but they are minke whales, which are also considered giant beasts here.
"There are very few of these things, it is said that there are slightly more on the North Korean side, but there are more near the Japanese country, and the meat is very difficult to eat, all of it is fat, not to mention eating, it smells disgusting, that is, it can barely swallow with more spices and chili peppers, anyway, I haven't eaten it again after I have eaten it." What's the use of you making so many canned whale meat, it's better to refine oil, it's very useful to use whale oil as lamp oil, Xu Wen used to be a tribute there, if we refine and sell it, maybe we can make a lot of money, and we can only lose money when we make canned food, these days it costs tens of thousands of taels to buy iron sheets to make jars, and the jars are more expensive than the meat inside, and no one wants to sell them in the capital, and they are all piled up in the cellar. ”
Mrs. Yang said.
"You don't care about the money, anyway, it doesn't matter what else is next, it's just that you keep hoarding this, and there are no whales to hunt those seals."
Yang Xin said.
At this time, there were seals in Bohai Bay.
"Then you have to go to Fuzhou"
Mrs. Yang said speechlessly.
"Fuzhou will be reinstated, use those fast boats, get a few other fast boats to specialize in whaling, and then go to Dengzhou to build another factory, these whaling ships go to North Korea and the Wa country in winter to hunt whales, and directly chop whales into meat and bring them back to make canned food."
Yang Xin said.
"Are you worried about famine?"
Mrs. Yang finally came to her senses and said.
"You don't care why I'm not, in short, I just keep making canned food, but we must ensure the quality of these cans, and for those who are hoarded in the cellar, we must check them regularly, don't know if they have deteriorated because of bad quality, and strive to make at least one million catties a year, the more the better. In addition, the clippers had to be built non-stop, and the Nanyang Company could not use them, so if they built one, they would go to sea with sailors, even if they went to the Diaoyu Islands to pull guano, and if there were not enough local sailors, they would go to other places to recruit, and at least 300 clippers would be built within three years. ”
Yang Xin said.
"Three hundred, are you crazy?"
Mrs. Yang was stunned.
Three hundred is crazy, but it's a must.
Although the carrying weight of these ships is not large, in fact, it is 100 tons, but 100 tons is also more than 1,000 stone meters, and 300 clippers can transport about 450,000 stone at a time, and they can run six round trips a year from the South Seas, which is also 3 million stones......
Three million stones is not much.
Three million stone rice sounds like a lot, in fact, the two counties are out of production casually, so this bit of grain falls into a black hole, and it is not so easy to buy three million stone grain from Southeast Asia, don't think that Nanyang is a granary, and there is not much surplus grain that can be provided there. It is true that the natural conditions there are good, such as Java Island, which can easily grow three crops a year, but the problem is that the population is small, the agricultural technology is poor, and more importantly, there are constant wars every day, whether it is Siam, Vietnam is all fighting, and Myanmar is the same, these places can't get too much surplus food.
A few million stones a year is the limit, after all, it is estimated that the total population of Java Island at this time will not exceed one million.
There are still Wa kingdoms left......
The Japanese state could not squeeze even more grain.
Because the kingdom of Wu also fell into the great famine brought about by the Xiaoice Age.
Outsourcing is a better way than nothing.
Really, this doesn't mean that there is a port overseas that hoards grain, and then a fleet of merchant ships goes over to load it and comes back, in this era when there is no real transportation to speak of, Yang Xin just let his fleet go to India, and he can't bring back much grain in a year. Even if there were local merchants willing to sell it, and Bangladesh had a surplus to sell, it would be a huge undertaking to collect the grain from village to village and transport it to Dhaka in small boats. Even when the news of his going to buy food reached these villages, it was probably not an easy task, and there was often a great famine in that ghost place in Bengal.
In short, this kind of thing can only be done as much as possible, but it would be a joke to expect this to save Daming.
There are more than 150 million people in this country.
It is conservatively estimated that it accounts for one-third of the world's total population, and only Yan'an, where the drought is so severe that it is almost completely extinct, has a population that exceeds that of most countries in Europe, and the population of the Netherlands may not be able to catch up with Yan'an anyway. At present, the registered population of Yan'an Mansion is 600,000, not counting military households, and there are many guards there, plus military households are probably running for millions, while the official registered population and the actual population of the Ming Dynasty are roughly multiplied by two.
Therefore, the population of Yan'an Province will not be less than 1.5 million.
There are currently about 1.6 million people in the Netherlands.
In the ensuing drought, Yan'an Prefecture can basically be described as completely out of production, and if the population of 1.5 million is fed, it will be able to fill in all the food that Yang Xin has achieved so far, as well as the planned increase.
Not necessarily enough.
And Daming only has one Yan'an Mansion out of production?
In fact, at least half of the counties in several provinces in Shaanxi are close to extinction, and when the drought advances to Henan, it is estimated that Yang Xin will scavenge all the surplus grain from all countries in the world, and it will not be possible to prevent people in this range from starving to death.
So in this way, it is still the most reliable to make canned food.
At least the most realistic, no matter the iron sheet, tin, these don't need to care, Daming steel production is the world's first, this is no suspense, Yunnan tin mine has long been mined, as long as he wants, the gentry there will use crazy mining to solve, and the iron jar does not use much material, in fact, Yang Xin's jar is very large, the standard is a jar of fifty catties, plus a bunch of messy boiled whale meat has to be compacted.
There are also fish in the sea.
What's more, Yang Xin was able to build factories along the entire coast from south to north, and they were able to produce in a constant stream during the famine.
That's the most realistic thing.
As for the immigration, it is also unrealistic, from the arrival of the Mayflower in North America to 1650, 30 years later, a total of 50,000 people emigrated, this was forced by civil war and there were no climatic differences in the Americas. Thirty years, 50,000 people, and by 1700, a full seventy years had passed, and the North American colonies were only 250,000 people, including a large number of native-borns, and mass immigration was not so simple.
At present, the most ideal immigration direction that Yang Xin can choose is Taiwan.
But even if he goes to Taiwan, he must be prepared to die a lot of people, all kinds of diseases are pervasive, but only Taiwan can bear it, if the mortality rate is higher for immigrants to the South Seas, a malaria can make more than half of those northerners fall, and when it comes to the rainy season, prepare a pile of dead people.
The Mongols attacked Vietnam three times, all of which were in full swing during the dry season and ran away as soon as the rainy season arrived.
Immigration development must take place.
But it is equally unrealistic to expect immigrants to open up and solve the catastrophe faced by the Ming Dynasty.
"My second uncle asked you if you were crazy."
Mrs. Yang said.
"Crazy is crazy, the world is going crazy, I'm not crazy but I'm crazy!"
Yang Xin put his arm around her and said.
"Is there really going to be a great famine?"
Fang Tinglan leaned her head on his shoulder, looked at the busy farmland not far away and asked.
There are tenants of the Yang family who are planting rice.
By this time, the wheat harvest was almost over, some of the early harvesters had already begun to plant rice, and some were spreading manure from guano from that small island in the far east sea, which was also the first rice field to use guano fertilizer. The production of guano there is not high, after all, it is difficult to accommodate too many workers in such a small place, and even fresh water has to be transported from the Diaoyu Islands, and the so-called fresh water of the Diaoyu Islands is only a small stream that flows intermittently.
Even cisterns had to be repaired.
But at least it is enough to supply the Yang family's rice field.
"Famine, it's no longer enough to describe it as a practical famine, to be precise, it's a catastrophe, a catastrophe that swept the entire Ming Dynasty, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are starving, you will see thousands of dead bodies carried out in the capital every day, and you will see all the death and destruction you see in the history books."
Yang Xin said.
Not far away, on the pier, a speedboat quietly docked.
Shen Shikui, who hadn't seen him for a long time, stepped off the boat and looked at them with some astonishment.
"Brother Shen, you won't bring bad news, will you?"
Yang Xin said.
Shen Shikui hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.
Fang Tinglan hurriedly broke free.
"The last general has seen the governor, there is indeed bad news, the main force of Jiannu attacked Korea and broke through Jeonju, and Qi Shuai protected Li Liang and retreated to Luozhou for help."
Shen Shikui said.
