Chapter 274: This time, it's really developed
Meeting Liu Feng's gaze, the smile on Jiang Wan's face was very strong.
The more Jiang Wan was like this, the more itchy Liu Feng's heart became. couldn't help asking, "Gong Yan said." ”
Jiang Wan didn't change the smile on his face when he heard this, and said softly: "The mouth is more than 600,000 yuan, and the grain is 4.5 million stones." ”
What the? Liu Feng was almost stunned by a huge shock and happiness in his heart.
Liu Feng automatically ignored the grain, and those grains should be the same as those in Nanyang County, all of which were harvested by the people, that is, the people's rations for the next year.
It is to be returned to the people.
But with a population of more than 600,000, this number still shocked Liu Feng.
600,000, Nanyang County only has a population of 200,000, which means that in this war, Liu Feng's army sacked three Nanyang counties.
That's almost half the population of a state in the Central Plains.
What is the concept of 600,000 yuan, the grain that can be produced every year, the taxes paid can feed 60,000 troops, and if you recruit soldiers, you can quickly recruit 60,000 troops.
And population is the foundation, ten years later, twenty years later, it can increase the population by countless people.
600,000, plus the population of 400,000 that we now have. Under the rule of the three counties of Jiangxia, Jiujiang and Changsha, there are enough people of one million.
The six counties of Jiangdong have a population of about two million. Not even two million.
A million people is 100,000 troops. plus Pang Tong, Jiang Wan, Deng Ai, Huang Zhong, and Gan Ning, even if it is a confrontation between Reading Power and Cao Ying, it is enough.
This is not to say that Liu Feng's head is hot and he wants to read to resist Cao Ying, this is a concept.
This concept is enough to make Liu Feng ecstatic.
Although the land did not increase, the power increased by one hundred and fifty percent. Whoever faces this result will probably be as ecstatic as Liu Feng.
Therefore, Liu Feng does not feel that he is very short-sighted, because this is not a little bit of small wealth, this is a big fortune.
Slowly, Liu Feng also calmed down, and after being happy, Liu Feng also began to consider the arrangement of the 600,000 population.
"Has Gong Yan ever thought about how to digest these populations?" Liu Feng asked in a deep voice.
Now the problem is whether it is digested or not. If 600,000 people blow themselves up and cause unrest, it would be a joke.
Jiang Wan put away the smile on his face when he heard this, raised his fist and said, "There have been some countermeasures." ”
Saying that, Jiang Wan pondered for a moment, and then spoke again: "There are only four cities in Jiujiang County, but there are 120,000 people, and the population is already saturated. If it is increased, there will be no arable land. Therefore, the population of 600,000 can only be arranged by Jiangxia and Changsha. ”
After finishing speaking, Jiang Wan looked up at Liu Feng.
"Hmm." Liu Feng nodded and responded, the situation is indeed as Jiang Wan said, it can only be accommodated by two counties.
Seeing Liu Feng nodding, Jiang Wan continued: "Among them, there are only five cities in Jiangbei, and the land is vast and sparsely populated. It can accommodate 100,000 people. And the semi-Jiangxia in the south of the Yangtze River can also accommodate 100,000 people. The last 400,000 people should be distributed to Changsha, which is more sparsely populated. ”
Saying that, Jiang Wan paused, raised his head and said to Liu Feng: "Now the only problem left is Changsha to engage in Xu Zheng." ”
Jiang Wan's words were not finished, but Liu Feng understood.
Changsha is indeed a trouble, Xu Zheng's ability, Liu Feng knows, and Jiang Wan, who has worked with Xu Zheng, also knows. He was able to barely maintain Changsha County, but he did not have the ability to expand Changsha County's economy, population, and planning.
Now to divide the population of Changsha with 400,000 people at once, it is beyond the scope of Xu Zheng's ability.
It is already imminent to find a more capable Changsha Taishou. But the problem is that Liu Feng has no candidates.
"Then let's do it, first move 200,000 people to Changsha, and the remaining 400,000 will be placed in Jiangxia for the time being. After Xu Zheng arranged the 200,000, he would divide the 200,000 into the past. Liu Feng thought about it and chose a compromise method to reduce Xu Zheng's pressure in batches.
"No." Jiang Wan nodded when he heard this, this method is okay.
It's just that both of them know that the best way is to promote talents and establish a system for selecting officials. But that thing doesn't fit the current Jiangxia.
Whether it is Jiangxia, Jiujiang, or Changsha, they all belong to the wilderness. There are too few people who read.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Wan spoke: "By the way, what is the lord going to do with the grain of 4.5 million stones?" ”
"Of course it's back to the people." Liu Feng didn't want to think.
The 4,500,000 stone grain was harvested from the fields, and the people planted it, and of course they had to be returned to them and eaten until next year.
"The mercy of the Lord is the blessing of the people." Jiang Wan's expression was a little strange, and he first replied meaningfully, and then said: "It's just that although this grain is cultivated by the people themselves, they always have to pay taxes." Of the 4,500,000 stone of grain, 3,000,000 stone was given to the people, which was enough for the people to eat for 20 months. These 1.5 million stones can be included in the granary as a reserve. ”
Liu Feng was slightly stunned when he heard this, but after calculating, it was really the same thing.
Three million stones will feed 600,000 people for 20 months. In addition to being able to survive this year, we can also survive next year's natural disasters and survive the thirteenth year of Jian'an.
If you give more, it will be a waste.
"Well, then put the 1.5 million stone grain into the granary, and it will be regarded as paying taxes." Liu Feng nodded and said.
This time, whether it is the increase in the army, or the increase in population and food, Liu Feng already knows it in his heart.
Now that the power has skyrocketed, it is necessary to rely on Jiang Wan and Pang Tong, two civil and military officials, to plan and deal with it. Therefore, Liu Feng did not continue to keep the two, but sent them out to do the work.
After the two left, Liu Feng continued to sit for a while and summed up the huge gains from this war.
In the end, there was only one sentence, and the power increased by one and a half times.
While being satisfied, a huge exhaustion also rose from Liu Feng's heart.
Although this war was won from the beginning, many times it was conscientious. It's very simple to defeat Cao Ren, but if it weren't for Liu Bei in Wancheng, there would definitely be a bloody battle.
After capturing Wancheng, he had to wait for the reaction of Cao Ying in the north.
As a result, Cao Ying did raise troops, but went to the north. Thinking that they were from Iraq, Fang Dao and they all successfully completed the task.
Although it is now Zhuang Kang Avenue, if one of these points goes wrong. It is possible to result in a total loss.
Liu Feng, as the lord of Jiangxia and a prince, the pressure in it is unimaginable to ordinary people.
The tiredness in his eyes flashed, Liu Feng shook his head, got up and entered a small door, lay down on the bed in the middle of the study, and soon fell asleep.
The five cities in Jiangxia and Jiangbei, within the jurisdiction of each city, are building new houses and villages.
Every county order has received Jiang Wan's death order. Tasks should be completed quickly and efficiently. to welcome 100,000 people.
Among them, Liucheng is even busier, every day there are hundreds of people, take Ganning's warship, cross the Yangtze River, enter the scope of Xiling County, and then some people are escorted by officials and troops to Changsha.
The other part of the people settled down in Xiling County, Xiakou, and Wuchang, and slowly became the population of Jiangxia.
It can be said that every day is very busy, and every day, Pang Tong, Jiang Wan and others are busy.
However, these two people are really capable, so Liu Feng's life is not busy, as long as he listens to them every day, how many people cross the river, and how many soldiers are escorted to the south of the Yangtze River.
Originally, Liu Feng planned to return to Xiling.
But Liu Feng suddenly remembered that there was something he had to do in Jiangbei, so he instructed Kou Shui to take a carriage and go out of Liucheng.
All the way north.
After walking about a hundred miles, I came to a very nice place.
Liu sealed the carriage and ordered Kou Shui and others to follow, while he himself walked and observed the terrain.
Here in the west are a few hills, the mountains are not high, but they play a good role in defense, and there is a small river in the north, which is also not large, and the water flow is not turbulent.
But it's also a solid natural defense.
This place is very suitable for building a large camp, a large army, and a city.
That's right, Liu Feng just wants to build a big city in Jiangbei, a big city that can accommodate tens of thousands of troops and tens of thousands of people.
These five cities in Jiangbei are scattered within a radius of hundreds of miles. It's not dense, but it's not sparse either.
The only failure is that none of them are big cities.
Now that 100,000 people are integrated, there is an opportunity. Build a large city that combines military and civilian use. Just like the role of Wancheng, as a military base to resist Cao Ying's attack.
The Fire Bull Formation can only come once, not a second time. If Liu Feng wants these five cities to be lost, he must have the means.
And the city is the biggest defensive force in this era.
A large city was used as a military base, and the city of Ryukyu was used as a ferry to transport troops and carry heavy loads.
As long as there are enough soldiers, then this land within a radius of hundreds of miles will always be his. No one can take it away. And now, it is no longer the same as at the beginning, Liu Feng's army has 40,000 people, with a population of more than 1 million.
These hundreds of miles of land, Liu Feng has the ability to control it in his hands forever.
"I'm going to build a big city here." After silently turning around this land, Liu Feng's eyes were full of determination.
"Let's go, go back." Liu Feng turned his head to Kou Shui and re-boarded the carriage.
"No." Kou Shui replied and stepped onto the war horse. The team set off again and returned to Ryukse.
It's just that Liu Feng and the others haven't walked for more than fifty miles, and they saw several fast horses in front of them.
Liu Feng was taken aback, and now all the big and small affairs were handed over to Pang Tong, and Jiang Wan handled them separately. If there is no big event, the two of them will not bother him.
In other words, if there is anything to report to him, it is a great thing.
Liu Feng's heart tightened, now Jiangxia, Changsha and other places are steaming, it is the golden period of development, don't make any mistakes.
"Report to the lord, Fang Junhou is back with sixty big ships." Several soldiers riding horses also found Liu Feng and immediately sped up, and then turned over and dismounted in front of Liu Feng's carriage and reported.
"Coming back?" Liu Feng was happy in his heart, Fang Dao took thirty merchant ships to the inland river, and he was able to complete the task safely and safely when he entered the sea, and he could return safely, which was really gratifying.
But then, Liu Feng was slightly stunned, sixty big ships? When we set off, weren't there only thirty of them?
