Seeing the plan he presented, it seemed to scare Chen Xin, and the person in charge of the military management committee didn't say much, sat quietly in the guest seat, waiting for Chen Xin's words before the joke. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Xin's fingers kept tugging over his newly occupied area, which was most of the former northwestern part of Korea.

There are dozens of large and small rivers, and almost most of them are connected to the sea.

If, if there are dams, there will be at least a dozen dams.

In addition, if you want to connect these great rivers together to form a complete waterway, then you need to modify at least 100 kilometers of terrain, which is absolutely impossible to do with the number of people under your current jurisdiction.

Although, Chen Xin's reason kept reminding him that this huge plan would not work, and if he really implemented this plan, he would drag down his own forces.

However, when Chen Xin thought that after synthesizing the reports sent by the Military Management Commission, the guerrilla detachment, the latent Ming personnel, and the latent Houjin personnel, and calculated the population growth rate of the area under his jurisdiction in the next few years, as well as the amount of grain that the area could produce, he felt that the plan of the Military Management Committee still had a certain degree of feasibility.

You must know that the United Kingdom of China, which is about to be established, has never had enough food to eat.

After removing the rations kept by the peasants, the output of the districts can at most supply the living conditions of the tens of thousands of industrial population that are collected by means of taxation and the grain that has been fed up by the grain stations in various places.

Most of the rations consumed by the Ming refugees who were constantly transported from outside, as well as the military rations used by the Xuan army in their continuous foreign campaigns, were bought from the grain carried by the Ming Dynasty by various means.

Daming's Cao Yun entrainment is already the most important means for the Cao Yun personnel who rely on the Daming Canal to eat to subsidize their families.

The Xuan's constant purchase of cheap grain has caused some turmoil in the north.

In order to prevent famine in the northern part of Daming during the Xiaoice River period, the Xuan army later opened up a caravan to Annan to transport some grain from Annan, which had a warm climate and a large output, to alleviate the food crisis in northern Daming caused by itself.

However, although the purchase of grain carried by Caoyun has been reduced to a certain amount, it has never been let go.

Because Annan is too far away, the ships with a displacement of several hundred tons in this era are already very large, but they can't carry much grain.

A sea ship with a full load displacement of 300 tons is considered "very big" in this era, even if it makes the maximum use of tonnage and loads 200 tons of grain, then such a ship of grain can barely make a family of three barely survive for a year.

How many such "big ships" Xuan army are there? Less than 200 ships.

How long does a round trip to Annam take? If the loading and unloading speed is fast, it will take two months.

Even if you don't count the freezing period in the northern seas, you can only feed more than 3,000 people by running six times a year at the fastest speed, desperately transporting grain, and transporting food in a year.

Therefore, even if Chen Xin knew that the idea of fighting grain from the Ming Dynasty would cause some harm to the people of the Ming Dynasty, he had to do it.

Although, in the case of insufficient food, Xuanjun still has to collect displaced people from Daming on the one hand, and at the same time constantly collect food from all over the country, which seems a little ridiculous, as if he is making trouble for himself.

However, even if he was looking for trouble, Chen Xin did not dare to stop this state in the slightest, and he could not have the slightest slack in the collection and absorption of the Ming Dynasty refugees, and he could not relax in the slightest in the collection of grain.

Because, in the north of the Xuan Army, on the other side of the Yalu River, Houjin is also constantly developing and growing.

The Later Jin had conquered the Mongol tribes, had a large supply of horses, and a large number of Mongol servant cavalry.

Since last year, the Later Jin also began to attack the Ming Dynasty from the direction of Mongolia, because there was no sea barrier, they were able to capture hundreds of thousands of Han slaves from the Ming Dynasty at one time, as well as a large amount of supplies.

If the Xuan army doesn't find a way to grow, it will lose this competition.

What are the consequences of the defeat of the Xuan army? Chen Xin didn't dare to imagine it.

So, although it seems that "we will continue to bring in people, break our own fragile food supply system, and then find ways to increase food imports from the outside to fill the food gap, and then a year later, or more, find a way to use those new people to support the self-sufficient and fragile food system, and then, from the Ming Dynasty, we will gather displaced people from the Ming Dynasty and break this food supply system." "It's ridiculous.

However, Chen Xin couldn't let him stop, he could only go on so ridiculously, he couldn't stop, at least for a short time, he couldn't stop.

Because the war has never been far away from the soon-to-be-established United Kingdom of China.

Between the United Kingdom of China and Houjin, one must fall.

Now, because of the inaction of those civil officials in the past, more than 100,000 displaced people have gathered in the jurisdiction, which is both a bomb and an opportunity.

If you can digest the more than 100,000 people as soon as possible, then your own power will be greatly improved.

However, it is not easy to digest more than 100,000 people.

First of all, it is necessary to stop any large-scale military operations from today in order to save food.

Second, it is necessary to increase grain imports, that is, not only to find a way to make most of our transport ships carry as much grain as possible when they return to the sea, but also to find ways to hire foreign ships to help transport grain.

Thirdly, it is necessary to find a way to achieve self-sufficiency for these more than 100,000 people as soon as possible.

But if these more than 100,000 people are directly sent to open up wasteland and farm, then, with the newly occupied hilly and mountainous terrain, I am afraid that all these more than 100,000 people will be thrown in, and they can only barely achieve food and clothing, right?

If that's the case, what are you doing with these more than 100,000 people? Increase paper data?

What I need is for these people to be able to contribute to the country while being self-sufficient.

To contribute more to the country, these people need to be able to feed half of the industrial population and the military with half of the agricultural population, just like the current Hanbei administrative region.

In this era when there is no way to produce chemical fertilizers and agriculture on a large scale, the way to increase grain production is to reclaim as many paddy fields as possible.

Although, the plan proposed by the Military Management Commission is very large, and if it is implemented, it may make itself a lot less agricultural land.

However, in the vast land that has not been able to fill the population for at least 10 years, the surplus land is not so important.

Although once the big plan goes wrong, it is likely that his own power will be destroyed, but in this era, if he stops, he will definitely be destroyed by Houjin or other forces.

However, if this grand plan is successfully completed, at least one-fifth of the industrial population will be able to appear among the more than 100,000 people, and it is very likely that a reserve force will be obtained to expand the number of troops.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin finally decided to accept the temptation of the devil and agreed to the big plan proposed by the Military Management Commission.
