Chapter 37: It's Nothing Wrong and Roadshow

The amount of rice that an ordinary person eats in a year adds up to 400 catties or 500 catties at most. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info That's fine!

There is nothing wrong with the total output of 11 million stones per mu of 1 million mu of public land, with an average yield of 11 stone per mu.

In the case of regularly organizing an army on a large scale and in an organized way to go into the mountains to hunt and collect a large number of animals, and in the case of regularly organizing an army and going to the sea to fish, it is also possible to harvest a large number of fish.

With these meat and fish supplements, the annual consumption of rice is sure to drop again. In this way, 11 million stones, feeding 3 million people, is still fine.

So, where does the problem lie? Why did Guo Jia directly say that this is impossible? Looks like everything is fine, huh?

Looking at Lin Yang's puzzled expression, Guo Jia hurriedly said: "That's the case, the immigrants themselves will consume a lot of food, and even if we don't take into account many miscellaneous things, assuming that everything goes well, we can't recruit so many people." ”

"Previously, many people who were more courageous and dared to do things had already gone to the territories of various princes. Now, most of the remaining people are relatively simple and docile people. Well, in general, they are more conservative, and it is no longer useful to rely solely on newspaper propaganda. ”

Indeed, after reading the information in the newspaper, he dared to leave home and come to Lin Yang directly, either stupidly and boldly, or he didn't mix well in the first place. To use one word to describe them, it is a factor of social instability.

The vast majority of the people are conservative, backward, and difficult to leave their homeland. Who wants to move when they can't survive? At this time, relying on newspaper publicity alone, the effect is somewhat discounted.

"Of our 1.2 million people, 500,000 were originally registered, and 600,000 were sent out by those local families in Jiangdong who had to be sent out when they destroyed the Xu family last time. The remaining 100,000 came after reading the newspaper. ”

"More importantly, of the 100,000 people, only 20,000 are from the Central Plains, Jingzhou and other places. The remaining 80,000 are all local people in Jiangdong. After hearing the rumors, I came over by myself. ”

Listening to Guo Jia's introduction, Lin Yang's eyebrows wrinkled subconsciously. Isn't this scientific?!

According to the results of Guo Jia's statistics, that is to say, in the past year, there were only 100,000 people who actually came to Wu. Moreover, there are only 20,000 people from the Central Plains.

If the scale continues to grow, doesn't it mean that if there are no accidents, there will be a maximum increase of 120,000 this year. With such a small population, what is enough?

"Why is it so slow? The entire Han Dynasty, tens of billions of people, sends out tens of millions of newspapers every day, and only 10,000 people come here a year, is it not enough for us to publicize? Lin Yang said suspiciously.

It doesn't make sense, even if it's conservative, it's not such a conservative law. Among a hundred people, even if there is only one radical second-rate son, there are 100 million in total. Among the 100 million people, only 100,000 have come, and 80,000 are local to Jiangdong, which is really disappointing!

"That's right, ordinary people don't have the money to move at all. To give a simple example, from Luoyang to Wu. First of all, you need to ride a horse to Lujiang County first. This is at least tens of thousands of miles, and you have to take a boat to Wu County, and then you can go from Wu County to our Wu country. ”

"The cost of this journey down is a few dozen taels of silver. Those who do not have strong survivability and average physical fitness even cost hundreds of taels of silver. This silver blocked the vast majority of the people at once. ”

"Even if they are tempted, it is useless! I don't have the money to make such a trip. Even if you have money, you still need to face a series of difficulties such as not adapting to the soil and water after such a long journey, which is really too dangerous! ”

In this era, to make a long-distance trip, the body must be doubled, that is, there is cultivation in the body!

Otherwise, tens of thousands of miles, even with horses, are not so easy to walk. Even in the next life, how many people can still be energetic after taking the train for a long time and sitting for a week? Aren't they all wilted?

That's right, Lin Yang still took it for granted. Subconsciously feel that the people will be tempted, and subconsciously feel that the people will come. But the reality is that although many people are really tempted, they are really deceived. But more people don't have the money to make such a journey, which is tens of thousands of miles away.

Really, under the conditions at this time, walking tens of thousands of miles, even if it is a collective organization, it is estimated that many people will have to be killed and injured. One in tenth, all less! In that case, why move when you can't survive?

"How many Yamagoe slaves do we have?"

"More than 3.6 million, it has reached one to three, and it can't be more!" Guo Jia insisted.

Indeed, the number of Han Chinese and the number of slaves reached one to three, and if there were any more, there would be no distinction between the host and the guest. In case of a big riot one day, Lin Yang, the big slave owner, will be in trouble.

If there are not enough Han Chinese, there will not be enough slaves, and the number of slaves will not be enough, and there will be fewer people working in many difficult places. Such as mining, mining, mining, mining!

Without coal and mines, there would be no so-called industrial development. What is the Xianxia version of the industrial revolution, it is even more nonsense. After all, the steam engine is only the heart, and the coal and mine are flesh and blood. There is no flesh and blood, there is no heart, and there is no use!

And without the Industrial Revolution, why did Lin Yang develop the Wu Kingdom? Just divide the land according to the division of the land? The princes of the Northland are also divided!

"So, if we were to form a scale and organize to set up resettlement points in some central cities in the Central Plains, what would be the cost?" Lin Yang asked.

There is no way, even if it costs money, you have to immigrate, there is no population, everything is nothing!

"Taking Luoyang as an example, from Luoyang to Lujiang County, from the safest road, after a month of training, in the case of immigrating in units of 1,000 people, and collectively riding pack horses, you need to go from Luoyang to Yanzhou first. The total distance is more than 3,400 miles, and the total time is about half a month. ”

(The horses in this world have been cultivated by the aura for a long time, and their quality is very high, and so are humans.) )

"Then, from Yanzhou to Yuzhou, from Yuzhou to Huainan, then from Huainan to Lujiang County, and then from Lujiang County to Wu County, and then from Wu County to Wu State, such a long journey, the cost of each person, under the condition of ensuring safety as much as possible, is at least one hundred and twenty taels."

"It can't be in the province, if you are in the province, the danger to your life is too great. Even if it cost one hundred and twenty taels, it is estimated that the number of people who died on the road was not a few. Guo Jia said heavily.

Hearing this, Lin Yang's heart sank suddenly. One hundred and twenty taels for one person is definitely not enough. On the way, there are various factors such as storms, heavy rains, and difficult roads, so the people have to be fed a little better.

In this case, it shall be calculated according to two hundred taels of silver for one people. In other words, if you immigrate for one million, you have to consume 200 million taels of silver. This is only one million, and this is still counted from Luoyang. If it's low in the Northland, it's even more mysterious. Basically, Lin Yang has no plans to emigrate from the Northland.

In other words, even if you immigrate from the Central Plains, only one million people a year, you need to consume 200 million taels of silver!

Lin Yang is rich, Lin Yang is indeed very rich, but being rich is not such a flower! It costs 200 million taels for immigration alone, so do you want to develop the rest?

By now, Lin Yang finally understood, why many princes in the north had worked hard to develop for thousands of years, and the population was only so small, it was really too expensive to immigrate!

And, more importantly, even if you have money, you can't immigrate millions a year at all. To take the simplest example, a team of 1,000 immigrants needs a hundred soldiers to protect them along the way. At least two doctors are needed to treat the people. At least three civil servants are needed to deal with all sorts of things.

Do the math, how many officials, how many soldiers? Even if Wu Guo is now an official, he can't fill such a bottomless pit!

Although it was a headache, Lin Yang had to find a way, didn't he?

"So, what is our total income for the year? What is the total expenditure? Lin Yang said with some expectation.

Hearing this, Guo Jia seemed to have thought of something bad, and his face suddenly darkened.

"Ahem, our serious income, there are 11 million stone of grain, the price of one stone of grain, in Jiangdong this year is four yuan of silver, in the Central Plains, about six yuan of silver. In other words, the income from agriculture, if converted into silver taels, is about more than 5 million taels. ”

"There is also the income from mining, in the past year, we have more than 3 million slaves, and we have smelted a total of ......" (The author Jun has never mined, and he does not know how much silver and gold can be mined by more than 3 million slaves. So, I won't make it up. )

"However, we have a lot of expenses, including ......"

"In other words, not counting the harvest of robbing the house, not counting the harvest of robbery, we did not break even in the end, but lost 60 million taels of silver?" Lin Yang said with a dark face.

"Ahem, although the money spent is a lot, our harvest is not small! A steam engine has been finalized, and a train is about to be developed. And ......"

With 60 million taels of silver in cash, a second-rate county-level family may not have so much liquidity! Fortunately, he is a little money-making expert, otherwise, Wu Guo doesn't know how many times he has gone bankrupt.

At the time of the Xuanwumen Revolution in the Tang Dynasty, he began to make money, and before leaving, he robbed Li Jiancheng's treasury and the small treasury together.

Later, in the world of Lu Xiaofeng, as a national teacher, he wantonly blackmailed various major sects and robbed a lot of silver. Later, every time I went to a world, I tried every means to make money.

But despite this, 60 million taels a year also surprised Lin Yang.

"That's it, as long as the Wu Kingdom develops, these are all small money. Yes, it's all small money. Lin Yang gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes, as long as the Wu Kingdom develops, these are nothing." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"If you want to develop, you can't do without the population, you can't do without the silver, you can't do without the talent. And most of the population, money, and talents are in the hands of the family. So, let's go on a roadshow! Lin Yang made up his mind.

I only hope that through the roadshow, I can make more money and invest more.
