Chapter 499: The Great Imperial Meeting, Please Seal, Mediation (2)
"It's a pity to let the barbarians occupy such a rich land!"
Standing in front of Meng Shu's wooden building, Zhuge Liang overlooked the basin of Yinkeng Mountain, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
If the basin of Yinkeng Mountain is handed over to the Han people to take care of, it can at least open up more than 3 million acres of fields.
This is almost equivalent to a small county in the Central Plains.
Moreover, the land here is fertile, surrounded by three rivers for irrigation, coupled with the special climate of southern Xinjiang with three crops a year, if supplemented by his Zhuge Liang's high-yield crops, only here in Yinkeng Mountain, can provide at least 10 million stone grain and grass every year!
You must know that in the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's army of 500,000 was just a million stones, grain and grass.
Not to mention, there is also gold and silver in Yinkeng Mountain!
It's just that this place is far away from the Central Plains, there is no road to connect the Han land, there is no straight road, the transportation is inconvenient, even if tens of millions of stone grain and grass are produced, it is not cost-effective to transport it to the Central Plains, and the tofu has become the price of beef!
If so, Yinkeng Mountain is like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it.
After thinking about it, Zhuge Liang made a decision.
Yinkeng Mountain, Zhuge Liang is decisive and cannot give up.
Although Sichuan and Shu are the country of abundance, however, the annual grain production of Shu is also limited, and in addition to feeding millions of people in Shu, it can only support an army of three or four hundred thousand at most. Beyond these, it is a big burden for Shudi.
However, Uncle Liu Huang wanted to prosper the Han Dynasty, and three or four hundred thousand troops were far from enough.
Without an army of millions, Uncle Liu's dream can only be a dream!
An army of millions, even if it is not wartime, consumes more than 10 million stones of grain and grass every year. Once the million-strong army leaves Sichuan, the war continues, and there is no grain and grass reserve of more than 350 million stones, let alone think about it. It must be known that the Sima clan destroyed Wu in later generations, but after more than ten years in Huainan Tuntian, he accumulated more than 50 million stones, grains and grasses before he dared to do it!
Therefore, after Uncle Liu Huang occupied the Shu land, he was still in urgent need of a piece of grain-producing land.
And here in Yinkeng Mountain, if it is done well, it can provide tens of millions of stone grain and grass every year. There are not many such places, as long as there are three or five such places, millions of lions go out of Sichuan, and the dream of Uncle Liu Huang's Sanxing Dahan is no longer just a dream.
As for the lack of transportation here?
It can be expected that after the end of this southern expedition, there will definitely be many barbarians who have been captured.
With so many captives, most of them will be escorted back to the Central Plains, sent to those mines, or to build bridges and pave roads; And the remaining part is just to repair the road here in southern Xinjiang, build Sanjiang City by the way, and then dig the fields here.
Of course, in Zhuge Liang's plan, what needs to be reclaimed in southern Xinjiang at that time is not just Yinkeng Mountain!

Without an army of millions, Uncle Liu's dream can only be a dream! I want to talk about "Gong Gai Sanfen Country" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
