In later history alone, the only prosperous places known to Xiongjing were Osaka, Kyoto, Tokyo, and so on. The map of the three islands that Shen Yinshang led people to survey and map is not accurate, and even if it is, it is difficult to find the location of Tokyo Bay on the coast of the three islands in the headland and many bays. The only thing that can be found is Osaka, which is at the easternmost point of the inland sea. As for where Kyoto is, Xiong Jing never knows.

Sun Yu and Qu Gan saw that the king's gaze fell on the easternmost part of the Inland Sea, and they couldn't help but nod their heads again and again. That's exactly where they chose. It is better to have a plain for agriculture, and if the plain is not there, it must at least have a gentle slope, so that if they see the mountains undulating, they will not even climb the shore.

The two of them circled Abbot Island for a week, and there were only three places in the plains and gentle land: one was where Xiongjing's gaze fell, the second was the east bay where his gaze fell, and the third was the east bay of the east bay where his gaze fell. The bay to the east is Ise Bay, Ise Bay is Suruga Bay to the east, Sagami Bay is to the east of Suruga Bay, Sagami Bay is to the east, and Tokyo Bay is to the east.

All in all, these are the three of the larger, gentler areas on the island. Not to mention the land of the Central Plains, even the plains of Bashu and Jiuying are God-given places compared to the three islands. The Kanto Plain in Tokyo Bay is less than one-third the size of the old Ying Plain, which is the best place to relocate, but Sun Yu and others saw that this plain was by no means a habitable place, it was a land of water.

If the land of water is not controlled, it is impossible to turn it into fertile land. Located in the southern part of the Kanto Plain, Tokyo was known as Edo in ancient times, and the development of Edo was a recent event, and it was only in the late 16th century that Tokugawa Ieyasu moved his ruling center to Edo. It was only after the expansion of the city that the Tokugawa shogunate began to control the flooding of rivers such as the Tone River, and the Kanto Plain really developed. The migration of the Chu people is not to control the water, although this place is a plain, if you can, you will not go.

The Noo Plain in Ise Bay is not a land of water, but it is a land of sea. Especially to the south of the plains, many places are below sea level. Whether it is a flood or seawater, as long as it is water, it is easy to accumulate. In addition to being smaller, this place is very similar to the Jiangdong of the Chu State, Jiangdong is also the land of Haize, flat is flat, and everything will be flooded when the big water comes.

The best place is where the eyes of the bears fall, and although it is a lagoon, there are two small basins (the Kyoto Basin and the Nara Basin) to the north and east of the lagoon, which are nearly 80 li long and 40 li wide. One is about 2.5 million acres, and the two are 5,000,000 acres.

A little north of the northern (Kyoto) basin is the largest freshwater lake (Lake Biwa) on the three islands, which flows into a bay in the southwest (the famous Yodogawa River) and a basin (Omi Basin) to the southeast. This basin, including some gentle slopes to the south, is almost the same size as the two basins on the west side, and is estimated to be 5 million acres.

10 million small acres of cultivated land naturally cannot be rotated, two harvests a year, with the lowest yield per mu there are also three stones, that is, 30 million stones. The common people eat 18 stones of millet every year, and 30 million stones can feed 1.66 million people.

Of course, only three basins could not accommodate the entire population, so they had to go east to the Kaizawa Plain (Nobi Plain) east of the Naboku Mountains (Suzuka Mountains). Although the Haize Plain is the land of Haze, the south cannot be cultivated, but the north is not as low-lying as the south, and it is barely cultivated, and the output of the valley of Dongzhou can still feed people.

The most important thing is that the area of the Haize Plain is much larger than the three basins in the west, and the sum of the three basins in the west is only 10 million small acres. If the population is large, for example, there are two or three million people, in addition to seeing the needles, they can only move to the Mizusawa (Kanto) Plain to cultivate and control the water; If it were only a few hundred thousand people, it would be placed on the northern shore of the inland sea to the west of the basin.

For more than three months, the two Vermilion Bird-class flying shears acted separately, and the resettlement plan discussed by Sun Yu and Qu Gan after a rough investigation was like this. Fortunately, Hojo Island is a long and narrow island, otherwise this way of exploring the plains when you see the plains and landing on the mountains will definitely miss the plains deep inland.

Xiong Jing was so lucky, Sun Yu and Qu Gan didn't feel the slightest luck, they had their own set of methods, and the essence of the island was never missing. After the entire resettlement plan was announced, Sun Yu said again: "Although these two places can accommodate three million people, they are not counted as the land of silkworms. Therefore, the minister thought that 200 people could live in these two places, and 3 million people should move to the plain of Shuize. ”

"Yes." Xiong Jing subconsciously agreed, he couldn't say that it would definitely be impossible to migrate three million people.

"Half of the people who moved in April moved to the north of Penglai and half to the east of the Inland Sea." Sun Yudao. "300,000 people can plant the valley of Dongzhou first, and Ephesians will ask horses to cultivate with half the effort, and they may get 3 million stone grain straw that year."

Sun Yu was calculated based on the migration of 600,000 in April, and Xiong Jing had to remind him: "More than 600,000." Four hundred thousand, or two hundred thousand. ”

"Then 200,000 people are in Penglai and 200,000 people are in the inland sea." Sun Yu could only follow Xiong Jing to correct it. "You may get two million stones, plus the ...... you have planted in one season in the inner sea."

"There are 100,000 craftsmen, and they need to build wharves, cities, and workshops, and not crops." Xiong Jing reminded again. "The king's court, nobles, and others have another hundred thousand, and they don't care about the crops."

"Dare to ask the king how many people moved in April, and what are the peasants?" Sun Yu simply asked Xiong Jing rhetorically, he didn't know the specific plan.

"To build a house, you need to move first, and there are a lot of machines, minerals, cement, and tendons. The royal court also has many treasures, which may require 100,000 tons of boats. Xiong Jing recalled the first batch of migration plans just sent by the Great Sima Mansion, and told him again. Based on 200,000 people, 50,000 tons of millet are needed a year, and 50,000 tons of corn should account for 70,000 or 80,000 tons of tonnage, and the remaining 100,000 tons of ......."

"Except for the 100,000 craftsmen, the rest are all nobles?" Sun Yu asked in surprise, he didn't expect that the first batch of migrants were all nobles except for the craftsmen.

"Definitely. There are less than 10,000 nobles, and the rest are the sons and heirs of the generals of each division. "In the detailed plan formulated by the Great Sima Mansion, the first, second, third, and fourth batches ......, each batch has an arrangement, and the plan is completely different from the plan that was made public.

"But they can't farm." Sun Yu originally thought that there were all nobles besides the craftsmen, but when he heard that most of the remaining people were generals, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that all the nobles who migrated would be nobles, and their doormen, their servants, and their families.

"It's true that you can't farm, so ......" Xiong Jing was a little distressed. When it is relocated in October, another 200,000 tons of millet will need to be transported. The remaining 200,000 tons of boats can only move 400,000 people. 400,000 people, 200,000 boys and girls, 60,000 nobles, 40,000 craftsmen, and 100,000 peasants. ”

200,000 people need 50,000 tons of millet (about 3.6 million stones) a year, and a total of 250,000 tons of millet are transported twice, which is the food ration for 600,000 people for two years. Hearing about such a migration plan, the three of them were dumbfounded. Of the 600,000 people, only 100,000 were peasants, and the remaining 50 were not engaged in farming, and the result was that corn occupied 300,000 tons of tonnage.

"Can't cities and factories be built a few years later?" Qu Gan said. "Tens of thousands of craftsmen cut down wood and cleared the wasteland first."

"A boy only eats one stone a month, and 400,000 boys eat 4.8 million stones and more than 60,000 tons a year, and it is only 130,000 tons in two years." Sun Yu also said. "More than 250,000 tons of millet!"

"If the state of Chu dies next year, what if?" Xiong Jing asked rhetorically. The excited three people were like being doused with a bucket of ice water, and they couldn't speak with their mouths open.

After a long time, Shen Yin Shangcai said: "Since the time is only one year, why did Zhou Ji only move twice? ”

"The sea boat needs the wind to sail, the war boat, the boat, the fishing boat is not sheltered from the wind and waves, the road is 4,000 miles, the boy's paddling power is weak, and there are only 30 or 40 people when he returns, how many days will he go back and forth?" Xiong Jing raised his head and didn't want to say anything more. He also asked Shen Yinshang rhetorically: "Why don't you know?" ”

Shen Yinshang's question was discussed countless times by the Great Sima Mansion and Xiong Jing. In addition to the sea boat, after the rest of the boats are rowed over, there must be a hand to row the boat back. A large-winged warship with dozens of men can indeed row back, but how long will it take? If it is five knots, eight hours a day, and 1,500 kilometers will take fourteen days; On the return there were only thirty or forty men, and the speed was only three knots, and it took twenty-one days to row nine hours a day.

This is just the journey, and you need to rest properly before arriving at the destination and returning to the flight, and you will definitely not be able to go back and forth without forty or fifty days. March and April are the time windows for the first migration, and September and October are the time windows for the second migration, so you can only migrate twice a year.

"War boats, boats, and fishing boats sail along the coast, why are you afraid of the wind and waves?" Shen Yinshang knew the situation at sea, and didn't speak, Qu Gan still asked.

Xiong Jing didn't answer him, and Shen Yinshang said: "What Da Ao said is that it takes 4,000 miles to fly directly, and it takes 40 or 50 days to go back and forth, and then the direct flight is afraid of wind and waves." If you travel along the coast, it is not 4,000 miles, but 5 or 6,000 miles, and it takes more than 70 or 80 days to make a round trip. On the west coast of North Korea, the tide rises and falls in winter for several months, which is very dangerous; In the East China Sea in summer, hurricanes often occur from May to September......"

Shen Yinshang used what he had learned to explain why he could only move twice a year, and he seemed absent-minded when he thought about it.

"The boat is like this, although the sea boat is not afraid of the wind and waves, but it is subject to the monsoon, and the monsoon does not come, it cannot sail......"

He can only move twice a year, and he can only move 600,000 people twice, and the more Shen Yin Shang said, the more frightened he became. No wonder 250,000 tons of millet grain were transported, and no wonder the vast majority of the migrates were children, it seems that the Great King and the Great Sima Mansion decided that the Chu State only had one year to migrate.

Hearing that his voice began to change tone, Sun Yu and Qu Gan also showed bitter faces—they went to investigate for millions of people, but only 600,000 people actually migrated. Xiong Jing comforted: "If the big gully is available, during the northeast monsoon, the sea boat can go back and forth once in more than 30 days. Next month, this year's Qu Xi, this year's aid Xi, next year's criminal Yi, next year's Xia Yi, five months can be transported four times. More than 60,000 tons of sea boats transported 120,000 or 30,000 people at a time, and there were also 500,000 people. ”
