Chapter 375: Choice
At least half of the farmland in the whole world is directly responsible for Yancheng, and if it is five or five points, what a huge amount is this?
With so much food, we can feed more ordinary people who are out of production, so that ordinary people can enter factories, and only then can ordinary people engage in all walks of life.
Sufficient grain is the main premise for driving the peasants out of the land and into other industries. If the yield per mu is low and the grain is less, it will be impossible to achieve all this.
In the same way, if there is more food, there will be enough time to raise pigs and other animals, and slowly there will be more meat. If there is more meat, there will be more professional soldiers who are trained on a full-time basis, and then there will be more countrymen and scholars trained by the full-time professional soldiers, step by step.
This is the change that Jiang Hua has brought to the world.
Therefore, the other princes calculated with their brains a little, half of the land in the whole world every year is the wealth of the Yan country, so much food, how many troops can be supported?
When ordinary people see the more than three billion people in Yancheng, seventy out of five are transcendental, they will only be amazed, and the last sentence is really powerful.
But when the rulers saw this data, they could only secretly hate: Jiang Hua of the dog day snatched all the lonely food, so that he could afford to raise billions of Fangshi in Yancheng, these should have been lonely grains, they were all lonely!
This is the biggest problem, and Taoguang can't hide it. Therefore, simply take the opportunity of Zhou Tianzi's demise to announce his ambition to the world and start a big calculation.
Jiang Hua nodded slightly, and the meeting ended. Soon after, Jiang Hua met with a representative of the conservative faction, an old-timer. This time, the two still sat opposite each other, and Zhuge Liang still sat aside and recorded silently.
"Sir, please be seated."
"Lord, the minister came here today, mainly to say that although Yancheng is already very strong, it is still necessary to continue to keep a low profile, as for the hegemony, it can be one day late, it should be one day late, and it should be sooner rather than later."
Why did the minister say that? Because for example, the princes today are already very jealous of Yancheng. ”
"At the beginning, the princes felt that Yancheng was the weakness of the Three Sages, and they didn't think that Yancheng could develop quickly. For them, the Three Saints have an extra weakness, which is a great thing. Therefore, at that time, they could barely be said to be kind to Yancheng. ”
Although the starting point of this goodwill was not well-intentioned, from the actual behavior, they acquiesced to the periodicals published by Yancheng, and even many princes' sons-in-law came to Yancheng to participate in the exploration of the world of Datong, and also acquiesced to the goods of Yancheng being sold on their territory.
These actions, from a practical point of view, are full of goodwill.
Although, this kindness is essentially to use the weakness of Yancheng to contain the Three Sages.
"And by the time the hundred schools were around fifty years old, Yancheng developed unconsciously, and there were more than a dozen real people and the first generation on the bright side, and the strength of all aspects was not inferior to that of ordinary big vassal states, and even only strong but not weak."
"Especially after our war with the Qi State, many princes have already compared Yancheng and the Qi State."
"At that time, the princes of the world were more jealous than kind to Yancheng. It's just that, limited by the situation in the world, the Jin State is in a civil war, the Wu State and the Chu State are at war, the Qi State and us are already fighting, and other countries are far away and out of reach. ”
"Due to various factors, when the hundred families were fifty years old, they were only afraid of Yancheng, although they were jealous, but they were not too worried. At that time, they just regarded Yancheng as a newly emerging power like Wu. Although it is strong for a while, it will not be able to do so in the long run. When the sovereign's generation passes, it will decline rapidly. ”
Just like the Song State, there was a Song Xianggong, but even Song Xianggong was not enough to see in front of the Chu State.
The great vassal states, a certain generation produced a male lord, a virtuous minister, and finally the monarch and the minister cooperated, so that the country prospered, comparable to the Qi State and the Qin State in a short period of time, such things have happened a lot in the past, and everyone has experience.
When you encounter the hero, you will actively defend and wait for change. When the male master is gone, when the second generation is on the throne and the third generation is on the throne, the country will not be good.
"However, by now, the real people and the first generation who often appear in Yancheng have added up to more than 100. Although many of them are not from Yancheng, this number is really scary. ”
"A lot of data in Yancheng is now public, and there is no way to hide it. For example, at least half of the farmland in the world is directly planted by Yancheng, and the remaining half is also using Yancheng's advanced technology and production and living tools. It has nothing to do with Yancheng at all, almost nothing. ”
"For another example, Yancheng has a population of more than 3 billion, and seventy-five out of ten are Fangshi. There are more than two billion transcendentals, not more than 200,000, but more than 2 billion! ”
"There are also more than 200 million warlocks, so many warlocks, theoretically speaking, with a little training, they are 200 million Xuan-level Dao soldiers. The countries are still stuck in hundreds of thousands of troops, and the Chu and Jin countries are stronger, and they are already millions, but what about Yancheng? The limit of Yancheng is hundreds of millions! ”
"Of course, in fact, it is impossible to do so much, most of the monks are unwilling to enter the army, nor do they accept the life of the army, and even they feel that they are research-oriented talents, production and life talents, and are not suitable for being soldiers. But even if you choose one out of a hundred, it is more than two million Xuan-level Dao soldiers. As long as Yancheng is willing, he can pull out millions of Xuan-level Dao soldiers anytime and anywhere, this data can be assumed by the old man, and the other princes can naturally speculate. ”
"In addition, the number of overseas floating islands in Yancheng is extremely large, which is also difficult to hide, and some of them can be covered, but as long as you have the heart, you can easily find out, and this number must be tens of thousands. There are tens of thousands of overseas floating islands, at least one county, and many are even as big as one county or two counties, which together is a thousand counties. ”
"As for the various extraordinary materials and war weapons sold out every year, although there are no specific statistics, they can be evaluated in a general scope."
Don't underestimate the people of the world, the wise men of the world have already stripped off Yancheng's underwear!
Even if the wise men can't calculate the specific strength of Yancheng, but according to these rough data, they can easily come up with an answer: today's Yancheng is no less than Chu and Jin, and has become a de facto first-rate power in the world and a strong competitor for the hegemon.
"Up to now, the princes of the world are very afraid of Yancheng. Whatever government decree Yancheng issued, they had to order their subordinates to study it thoroughly. Yancheng built a new department at random, and they all had to discuss it for three days and three nights to see what this department was doing. Any high-level personnel adjustment in Yancheng, they can come up with a bunch of conspiracy theories for you. ”
"The last one to enjoy this kind of treatment was Jin Guo!"
"The State of Chu has not enjoyed this kind of treatment, who made the State of Chu suffer the loss of geographical factors and become a southern barbarian."
"At this time, it's better to continue to keep a low profile. Although Taoguang is useless, everyone knows the strength of Yancheng, but it is still recommended to continue Taoguang to maintain obscurity, not to fight for hegemony, not to form alliances, and continue to develop. ”
"At least, that's a good indication of our attitude. At this time, if someone still comes to provoke us, then he deserves to be destroyed. And if we, like the Chu State in the past, suddenly become very greedy, it will easily cause the princes to target the alliance. ”
Chu Guo once wanted to be Zhou Tianzi's loyal minister, and gave Zhou Tianzi face again and again, but he was slapped in the face by the Central Plains princes again and again, and finally Chu Guo mistaken: licking a dog cannot be recognized by the goddess.
Then the state of Chu changed its way, Lao Tzu stopped licking, and Lao Tzu wanted to win the Central Plains.
Since then, the state of Chu has been on a par with the princes of the Central Plains, and occasionally a male lord can also go to the vicinity of Luoyang to ask about the importance of the championship.
Then, the state of Chu was targeted by the princes of the Central Plains. Every large-scale operation is targeted.
The same is true of the Jin State, except that the Jin State is not targeted when it attacks the Chu State, and at other times, if it wants to completely annex a certain country, it will also be subject to a series of pressures.
Hegemon, just be a good hegemon, don't think about continuing to expand your territory.
"Besides, the old minister feels that the speed of development of Yancheng is faster than the development of the princes of the world annexing other princes."
"Just like now, as long as Yancheng is motionless, those declining little princes and dying feudal monarchs will take the initiative to come to us to seek refuge and family development."
"When this round of war is over, our Yancheng will only develop faster after absorbing these people who have lost their country."
"Therefore, Chen still thinks that it is better to continue to keep a low profile."
"If you have to say when is the right time, it will probably be the right time until someone takes the initiative to offend us, or when there are only great princes left in the world."
"Chen thinks that if we can develop, we will continue to develop, but we can't develop, and it's not too late for us to fight for hegemony."
"Anyway, in the vast open sea, the area of those floating islands combined, there are thousands of counties. In this way, the total area of our Yancheng is not small today. ”
"There is a population, a land, a master, and a prospect, so there is no need to enter the mud pit of the world for the time being."
"The strength is here, as long as we don't provoke them, the other princes won't provoke us casually. We are worried about the alliance of the princes, and we are worried about being targeted by the princes, but the princes are still afraid that when we will not eat vegetarian and eat meat! ”
"Therefore, as long as we continue to develop, no prince will dare to directly confiscate our goods on a large scale, and dare to directly rob our caravans on a large scale. If any of the princes did this, we would be happy! ”
After a while, Jiang Hua nodded slightly again, and the senior retreated.
The words of the two kept echoing in Jiang Hua's mind.
Whether to be more radical or to continue to develop are two paths.
Which one do you think you should choose?
