Yu Xiaotian reviewed the figures sorted out by the Seawolf Council, and now the major immigration areas on Taiwan Island have now absorbed hundreds of thousands of registered immigrants, and the cultivated farmland is as high as 3 million mu, which is quite huge, some of the farmland is just reclaimed raw land, and the current crop yield is low, so you can only plant some legume crops to increase the nitrogen content of the soil, and you also need to apply a large amount of farm fertilizer to fertilize the land, at least two years or more, in order to become mature land, and the yield per mu can be increased.

However, at present, the grain produced on the island of Taiwan is almost enough to meet the consumption of the immigrants on the island, and there is even a slight surplus, which can be supplied to the army in small quantities.

Therefore, almost all parts of Taiwan Island have entered a virtuous circle, and Yu Xiaotian is no longer too worried about feeding so many people.

And among the more than 300,000 people, most of them are now considered serfs in collective farms, and the labor cost is very low, in addition to feeding them, although they are also paid a little salary, but the wages are quite low, only enough for them to buy some non-ration goods, but even so, most of these immigrants are already very satisfied, and Yu Xiaotian can also get a lot of income every year on these immigrants.

In addition, among the immigrants, not all of them go to farming, and one-third of them will be absorbed into various workshops and become workers, in which they are responsible for making all kinds of tools and goods for local or military use, and there are also a large number of industrial goods, which will be sold as commodities.

The output brought by these workers to Yu Xiaotian every year is far greater than that brought to Yu Xiaotian by farmers, and now it has become the largest income of the sea wolf.

The sea wolf's current income is quite mixed, including smuggling income, which is robbed to put it bluntly, as well as a large amount of taxes and fees for entering the sea, as well as income such as fishing tax, plus the annual sales of goods manufactured by those factories, so that Yu Xiaotian's annual income now exceeds the income of several Fujian provinces, and there is no problem.

But at the same time, Yu Xiaotian also spent a lot of money, which was also comparable to the expenditure of several Fujian provinces.

Yu Xiaotian in terms of expenditure, the first is the army, although the government is currently bearing part of his military expenses, but the generals under his command, the actual military salary, is higher than the official army regulations, so on the bright side he also has to subsidize one-third of the military salary, in the matter of eating, the officers and soldiers who follow Yu Xiaotian are much better than the food rated by other officers and soldiers, and the soldiers of the Yu family are rated at one and a half catties of miscellaneous grains every day, and the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are only one pound at the highest, so Yu Xiaotian has to make up for a part.

In addition, the soldiers of the Yujia army are not only the problem of being full, but also eating well, each meal will give some side dishes, at least some pickles, three days to have a meal of meat, cooking basically to add some meat oil, when there are conditions, but also to give some eggs, and as far as possible to purchase vegetable supply, in the season when the fruit comes down, but also to buy fruits for rationing, every day each person will also give a little tea to chew and eat, soak water to drink.

The officers ate the officers' meals, the quality of the food was better, the grain they ate was more fine, the grain was mostly fine, and there was meat almost every day, at least pickled salted fish or some dried seafood, and some cigarettes were also supplied to them for their recreation.

Therefore, the quality of food for the soldiers and generals of the Yu family army is far greater than that of any army in this era, and the navy is even better, almost every day there is a supply of fish, shrimp or fish and other meat, and vegetables and fruits are as long as the conditions permit, so that the officers and men of the navy can eat as much as possible.

Otherwise, after entering the Yu Jiajun, many people shouted that it was too refreshing, at least the food was too refreshing, don't look at it as a big pot of rice, according to the standards of later generations, it is considered tasteless, but in this era, ordinary people do not dare to eat like this at all, otherwise they will eat up their food stocks in a few months a year.

This is also the reason why the soldiers of the Yu family army are strong, most of the soldiers recruited by the Yu family army are poor, just to eat this kind of full meal, many people are willing to give Yu Xiaotian their lives, and the sufficient food supply also ensures the physical quality of the soldiers, so that their body and endurance far exceed that of the officers and soldiers of their peers, and they are full of energy.

As we all know, the quality of Yu's army's equipment is the best in this era, and since the equipment is good, then naturally the money cannot be less.

In addition, a large number of replacement barrels and some wearing parts will be purchased for the army at any time, and a batch will be reserved for supplementation.

Since there are muskets, then it is necessary to supply ammunition, Yu Jiajun currently supplies two kinds of ammunition, one is the Minie bullet, the other is the ordinary gun, which is directly produced in the factory with lead, and the gunpowder of the smoothbore gun, sometimes the soldiers in the army can make it themselves, but the Minie bullet must be produced in the factory.

In addition, the gunpowder supplied by the sea wolf to the soldiers, are delicate granular black powder, the formula is reasonable, powerful, less gunsmoke, the initial use of small bamboo tube to order, to ensure that the amount of each charge is consistent, but the bamboo tube packaging is good, relatively still a little troublesome, and there is an additional layer of processing bamboo tube process, so later began to gradually use oil paper packaging, so that one can be moisture-proof, two can ensure the amount of charge.

Nowadays, the ammunition factory employs a large number of female workers, even some child laborers, who are responsible for packaging ammunition, and even the shells have been directly packed into the fixed ammunition, so that the musketeers can use it more easily.

At present, the ammunition factory can produce tens of thousands of rounds of fixed ammunition every day, and even if it is not allocated, it is temporarily stored and properly stored, ready to supply the army for war.

In addition, the navy is a master who spends a lot of money, even if a ship is built by the standardized production method used for Xiaotian, an ordinary No. 2 lucky ship will cost at least 400 to 500 taels of silver, and the cost of a ship can easily exceed 1,500 taels of silver, and even after being equipped with various sail lines, it will take at least more than 2,000 taels of silver.

This is still the cost price of a bare ship, if you add those guns equipped on the ship, the cost will be even higher, a 1,500 Galen ship like this, with all the guns configured, will cost at least nearly 10,000 taels of silver.

This is also what Yu Xiaotian can afford, and if it is the Ming Mansion, he can't afford to play such an expensive thing, but even if Yu Xiaotian is now rich and rivals the country, he feels very difficult to play with this thing, but fortunately, he has always controlled the scale of the navy.

No matter how many new ships Yu Xiaotian built, he always kept the number of warships in the navy at about 200, replacing the old with the new, equipping a new ship with the next old ship, and dismantling the old ship if it was unusable, and allocating a small amount to the naval officer academy if it could still be used as a training ship, and when necessary, it could be directly incorporated into the fleet to continue combat use.

In addition, most of the usable ships that were replaced were handed over to the merchant fleet of the Council Hall for use as merchant ships, and most of the guns on the ship were removed, and only a limited number of guns were kept for self-preservation on the ship, which enabled him to hold on, otherwise, the unlimited expansion of the navy would have tormented him and bankrupt a long time ago.

Fortunately, although these decommissioned ships were converted to merchant ships or cargo ships, when necessary, as long as Yu Xiaotian gave an order, these ships could be reorganized into the fleet as combat ships, and they only needed to be equipped with soldiers and guns, and their combat effectiveness could be restored immediately.

In addition, a large number of merchant ships have also brought huge profits to Yu Xiaotian, and now Yu Xiaotian has more than 400 merchant ships on hand, at least more than 1,000, these ships are considered big ships in the Ming Dynasty, such a fleet size, looking at Asia, now there is really no second one.

The sailors of the merchant fleet working for Yu Xiaotian alone are now as many as forty or fifty thousand people, and if necessary, these people can be transferred to the navy at any time in the future, and on the surface, it costs a lot of silver to pay these people every month, but the profits brought to him by these ships are also staggering, and it is really a piece of cake to feed these people and ships.

Now the route of the merchant fleet of the sea wolf has spread all over Asia, including Japan, Korea, and the countries of the South Seas, and there have been ships sailing as far as India, not to make money, just to open up the route, and even several expedition ships have now arrived in the Americas and Oceania, and next, he will send more ships and manpower to these places to explore, draw his own world chart, and at the landing place, establish a bridgehead, and prepare in advance for the next batch of migration.

Therefore, as long as Yu Xiaotian is willing, he can sweep all the maritime forces along the entire East Asian coast at any time, and he will not encounter any decent opponents.

Of course, this kind of thing, only Yu Xiaotian and his core members can know, the Ming court does not know these things, because Xiaotian reported to the Fujian government on the military register, he has only 120 warships, the strength of the army is only 15,000 people, in fact, Yu Xiaotian's naval strength is nearly 8,000 more, and the current navy has at least 20,000 actual strength.

Military spending is a large part of the Seawolf's expenditure, but compared to other expenditures, it is only the tip of the iceberg, and Yu Xiaotian has to invest a lot in other aspects every year, among which the school is also a large head.

Yu Xiaotian attaches great importance to the issue of education, in the future, he wants to develop industry, he needs to establish a modern army, officers and technicians must be educated, and they can't just learn those four books and five classics and other things, they must receive a more perfect education, among which mathematics, physics and chemistry are essential, if you don't understand these, you don't know how to fire guns when you become an officer, let alone become a technician in the workshop in the future.

Therefore, since Yu Xiaotian had just seized Nanri Island, he really prepared to build a school for Sea Wolf, which specially enrolls children and teenagers between the ages of six and thirteen, and there is no restriction on gender, both men and women.
