Chapter 328: There is no shortage of food, only people

Li Yan thought for a moment and said: "According to the previous situation under Zigui's rule, the per capita planting capacity of the strong labor force is about ten acres of fields, and the per capita planting capacity of the ordinary labor force is only about three acres of fields.

After years of war, the proportion of strong labor among ordinary people has dropped to less than 20% of the total population.

Excluding the defenders, merchants, and the elderly, the sick, and the disabled, Gangneung had less than 100,000 people engaged in farming at most.

Eight of the lands in Gangneung were in the hands of the local families, and there were not many fields directly owned by the Wu State through Mintun.

The land of Wu is not as fertile as that of Wei, and six stones per mu can be called fertile land, and some thin fields can have a good harvest of three stones, and the average yield per mu is only equivalent to about 100 kilograms.

The land rent levied by Wu on Gongtian reached 5 to 60 percent, plus other poll taxes and commercial taxes, and the annual income in Gangneung was about 400,000 stones.

But the 400,000 stone grain not only had to support the consumption of 30,000 soldiers and the salaries of officials at all levels, but also had to be responsible for the expenses of weapons and strengthening the city wall, so there was basically not much surplus in the taxes that Wu could get from Gangneung every year.

It's just that because this Jiangling is the gateway of Wu on the Yangtze River, even if Wu doesn't have any income here, it must be guarded.

Due to the large price gap between grains and rice, two stone grains are equivalent to the value of one stone of rice, and the rice in our Huaxia country is full of grains and has few broken rice, according to their existing processing methods, it takes at least four or five stone grains to get one stone of rice of the same quality.

Therefore, I feel that as long as I prepare 50,000 stone of rice, I will have a certain certainty that I will take over the jurisdiction of Gangneung, but it is difficult to estimate the investment in the subsequent reclamation of paddy fields and the acquisition of existing fields in the surrounding areas. ”

Wei Minsheng listened to Li Yan's words and said, "You just need to take down the jurisdiction of Jiangling as soon as possible, because with our pumping machines and other mechanical equipment, we can easily reclaim a large amount of land."

As long as there is land, according to the current treatment of Huaxia Kingdom, I don't believe that I can't recruit enough people to cultivate it.

Moreover, there is a resettlement plan after the capture of Gangneung, which can fully meet the manpower needs of these fields.

So, there is no need to rush to acquire the surrounding fields right now, as long as we don't miss this year's spring planting, we have enough time to deal with these things.

50,000 stone of rice is only about 1,500 tons, and judging from the information on the management platform, there are nearly 2,000 tons of rice in the reserve base on the wharf, which is completely sufficient.

Now the Ministry of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration immediately organized personnel to load the rice into the water platform, and then set off when I returned.

At the same time, the Ministry of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Construction should immediately make a plan for the reclamation of at least 20,000 mu of paddy fields, and make plans in terms of professional personnel, machinery and equipment, and logistical support.

As long as Li Yan took Jiangling down, he would immediately carry out relevant work.

Guangliang Surveying and Mapping Company should also send people to follow up and carry out map collection of the area to be reclaimed as soon as possible, so as to find out the topography and landform in order to determine the direction of reclamation more effectively.

The Ministry of Education should also follow up in a timely manner and establish a school in Gangneung City that can accommodate at least 200 students at the same time.

The Ministry of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration and the Ministry of Construction should ensure the equipment, maintenance personnel and power supply required by the school.

……”

After arranging the relevant work, the heads of each department prepared according to Wei Minsheng's requirements, and Wei Minsheng also went back to the real world and handed over the purchase list he could think of to Liu Mengling and them to implement.

Due to the time difference, the large amount of food purchased by Minsheng Company in the real world is not all transferred to the other world, because in this way, you can get a longer shelf life if you take it as you go.

For the time being, Minsheng Company is still taking advantage of its good relationship with the local ZF to rent the storage facilities of the county's reserve base to store these grains.

Minsheng's own large-scale spiral steel silo is still under construction, with a designed storage capacity of 50,000 tons.

According to the current construction progress, it is expected that it will take more than three months to complete, and if the time difference does not change, at least for more than two years in the other world, it will not be able to use its own reserve base.

Therefore, Wei Minsheng had to purchase equipment for the production and processing of standardized granaries, and also established a grain reserve base with a storage capacity of 3,000 tons on the Zigui Wharf in the other world.

The raw materials and principles of the production of this threaded granary are almost the same as the production and processing of color steel, but there is an additional interface processing process, so all this work is assigned to the color steel greenhouse production plant to deal with.

Because it is on-site production, there is no need to consider the problem of transportation, so this kind of granary can be made larger, each granary is five meters in diameter and ten meters high, using thickened color steel plates, and the interface has also been strengthened.

The granary is built on a stone platform two meters above the ground, which can effectively prevent it from being affected by moisture and other mechanical work.

One such granary can store nearly 160 tons of rice, and a total of 20 granaries can provide more than 3,000 tons of rice storage capacity.

The entire perimeter of the base is fenced off with a fence and power grid, and is used as a food transit facility for the Atlas.

Because of the acquisition plan that Yiling was carrying out, and Wei Minsheng's plan for Jiangling that he had already made, the grain in this reserve base was completely enough to implement Li Yan's plan.

Originally, Wei Minsheng could have put these grains in his own shared space, but if he did so, he would not be able to achieve such a shocking effect.

In order to achieve better results, the grain that could be held on five large water platforms ended up being packed into ten platforms.

Ten floating platforms lined up and down the river are definitely much more eye-catching than transferring supplies through a shared space.

By the time Wei Minsheng returned to Huaxia Villa again, it was already the morning of the next day.

After a night's hard work, 50,000 stone of rice has been loaded into the wooden warehouse of the water platform, and the first batch of personnel is also in place and ready to set off at any time.

Because of this operation, Wei Minsheng wanted to go to Jiangling with Li Yan, so he took a fully armed 3,000-ton iron ship and made its first voyage in this other world.
