"The food problem is a top priority in Pingzhou, and you can have a good plan to help me solve my worries"

Deng Yan said that other problems can be postponed, but the food problem is imminent. The 16 million new arrivals are poor refugees. In other words, Shang Ji has to bear the food problem of 16 million people, and at least one year!

This requires at least 100 million stone of grain, and if these immigrants are asked to open up the wasteland for production as soon as possible, the amount of grain needed will have to be doubled! And once the food supply is insufficient, these immigrants will not only fail to consolidate Pingzhou, but will become a bomb that can be detonated at any time.

"My lord, my subordinates think that we must immediately arrange for people to go to the mainland to buy grain." Chen Ang said intently.

This is the proper meaning, but now the Han has just been ravaged by the Yellow Turban Army, and the food everywhere is not rich. I am afraid that the purchase of grain will not go smoothly! Moreover, now that grain prices are soaring, and a stone of grain even requires about four to five silver, our large-scale grain purchases will certainly exacerbate the grain shortage, and grain prices will further rise, and the funds needed to purchase grain may be difficult to bear. ”

Although Shang Ji had 700 million gold in his hands, he could not use all of this money to buy grain. And at this time, grain is no longer something that can be bought if you want to, especially Shang Ji's behavior of buying hundreds of millions of stone of grain at once will definitely be resisted and even oppressed by the local princes.

"Lord, there will be a plan to solve the crisis of food shortage!"

A loud voice suddenly came out of the ranks of the generals, and Shang Ji looked for it, but saw that it was Ling Cao!

Seeing Ling Cao, Shang Ji roughly knew what he was saying.

Sure enough, I saw Ling Cao get up and say: "Lord Qi, with the strong support of the lord, my Pingzhou sailor is growing stronger and stronger. As the power of water warfare became more and more powerful, it was also discovered that the sea was extremely rich. Some schools of fish can even spread for dozens of miles, and it is not an exaggeration to call them inexhaustible! ”

"Now my Pingzhou Sailor has 100 large fishing boats, and one trip to sea catches hundreds of thousands of stones of fish and shrimp. If we can continue to expand the scale of fishing boats, even if we cannot make up for the food shortage, it can also greatly alleviate the food pressure! ”

"Oh, is this ocean really as Admiral Ling said, the property is inexhaustible," Xun Yu, who had been silent, asked with interest.

Xun Yu was born and grew up in Yingchuan, is a standard inland person, and knows little about the sea, so he has such a question.

"Yes, the abundance of the ocean is not comparable to that of the continent. However, the waves above the ocean are turbulent, and there are countless sea monsters and beasts dominating one side, and in many places, even the giant ships of the sailors dare not set foot easily! ”

Ling Cao didn't speak, and Shang Ji answered Xun Yu's question for him. After Ling Cao's several reports, Shang Ji has a good understanding of the ocean, and knows the opportunities and risks in the ocean.

"Yu has been taught!" Xun Yu arched his hand and thanked him, and then continued to stay there as a background board. Before he is thoroughly familiar with Pingzhou, Xun Yu will not make suggestions easily.

"JCDecaux's plan is good, and it suits my liking. Returning to JCDecaux, we submitted an expansion plan for a large fishing vessel of the Sailor Division, and submitted it to the other driver for review, and I will allocate funds to support it after the review is passed! ”

"The lord is wise!"

"Don't be in a hurry to be wise!" Shang Ji interrupted Ling Cao's sycophants with a smile, "The focus of the sailor is still on the battle, fishing is just an expedient measure, and if the time is right, I will set up a special fisheries department to manage the fishing of aquatic products." In addition, simply because our strength is too weak and weak, I order the Sailor Shipyard to be open to the private sector and increase our maritime power as much as possible! ”

"And my requirements for the sailors are to have complete control of the Bohai Bay, to have absolute superiority in the Korean Sea, to maintain a strong strategic deterrent force to Qingzhou, Jizhou and Lelang, to be able to raid the enemy's coastal cities when necessary, and to transport troops to expeditions safely, quickly and quickly, can these be done?"

"The lord's order, the end will be completed by swearing!" Ling Cao got up and yelled loudly.

"I believe in Degao's ability, if there is anything you need my help with, just ask, I just need a water dragon that can fight well!"

"The last general has thanked the lord!"

Nodding his head and motioning for Ling Cao to sit down, Shang Ji looked at Deng Yan again: "Hongzhu, although there are virtuous sailors fishing to solve difficulties, the food problem still cannot be taken lightly. Immediately arrange for manpower to go to the mainland to buy grain, and buy as much as possible without causing a backlash from local forces. At the same time, you are responsible for choosing a suitable place, placing a special building, the Herb Garden, and using the special effects of the Herb Garden to quickly produce food. A multi-pronged approach must be taken to nip food shortage in the bud! ”

It is naturally a great waste to use the Baicao Garden to grow ordinary food, but the current situation is urgent, so it can only be made up like this first.

The area of the Baicao Garden is quite vast, and it is simply not that much area to grow medicinal herbs. It also coincides with the shortage of food, which can just be used to solve the urgent need. Moreover, the plants grown in the herb garden are of good quality, and there are occasional rare mutants, and there are a little strong and healthy effects when eaten for a long time. It is just enough to use the grain produced in the Baicao Garden as military food, which is specially supplied to the main army.

"Brother Yu understands, immediately after the meeting, arrange for people to choose a reasonable location to place the Baicao Garden!"

"Now that the problem of food has been solved, let's talk about the development of Pingzhou!" As he spoke, Shang Ji gestured to Deng Yan.

Deng Yan understood, took the initiative to get up and said: "According to the instructions of the lord, with the help of several colleagues, we have formulated a development plan for Pingzhou for the next three years!" ”

Deng Yan took a deep breath, unfolded a volume of documents, and said loudly: "In the next three years, we expect to invest a total of 1.5 billion gold coins for population migration, road repair, academy construction, farmland reclamation, medical hall construction, martial arts hall construction, urban repair and other aspects.

The expected targets are: doubling the population to more than 130 million; In Pingzhou, a network of galloping roads has been built from Gaoxian (the northernmost large city in Xuansu County) in the north, to Yushi in the south, and to Xi'an Ping in the east, including all important cities. In terms of culture and education, one or two high-level academies will be built in each of the four giant cities, two to four intermediate academies will be built in each big city, and the population of small and medium-sized cities will be built, and 10,000 private academies will be built in the villages!

In terms of farmland reclamation, it is estimated that 2 billion mu of wasteland will be reclaimed to reverse the situation of food shortage. Ensure the food security of Pingzhou, and have spare capacity to sell grain.

Urban repair: According to our investigation, all giant cities and big cities basically have serious defects, and in the next three years, we will spend huge sums of money to repair these defects, and in essence, become a giant city and big city in the real sense.

Referring to the construction plan of the academy, medical halls and martial arts halls were built in various cities to ensure that the people of Pingzhou had medical treatment, and at the same time strengthen the people's muscles and bones, and enhance the people's bravery! ”

Wang Yue below was so excited when he heard the construction of the martial arts hall that he couldn't wait to fly forward and hug Deng Yan and kiss him!

The martial arts hall is a plan that was deliberately added because of Wang Yue.

As mentioned before, Wang Yue's attributes are very special, and there is only one force left in his four-dimensional attributes, and his profession is locked as a ranger.

However, Wang Yue, a ranger, is not simple, he has the S-level title of Sword God, and he is also a great grandmaster-level swordsman, and he has the right to teach apprentices on a large scale.

And Wang Yue is also the transfer of the "hidden profession" swordsman, and only after passing Wang Yue's approval can he be transferred to a swordsman!

Compared with the brutal battlefield, the swordsman who kills one person in ten steps and leaves no trace for thousands of miles is undoubtedly more in line with the taste of players. And Wang Yue's arrival also made Shang Ji pay attention to the group of "rangers" that he had once ignored.

As mentioned earlier, the number of battle players is less than 10% of the total number of players, and 70% of the battle players can be called rangers! There are only a handful of combat players who are really fighting on the battlefield.

In other words, when Shang Ji was competing with the princes from all walks of life, ordinary players were doing chivalrous acts in the "rivers and lakes"! For them, whether it is Shang Ji, Yan Huang, or even Cao Liu and others, they are just background characters in the game, and there will be no substantive intersection at all.

To put it mildly, at the level, Shang Ji has left most of the players far behind. To them, Shang Ji and they are not playing the same game!

However, the ranger group is also a very powerful force, and as a prince, it is natural that it cannot be ignored.

Wang Yue is a Taishan Beidou-level character in the rangers, similar to the existence of the martial arts alliance master. After the news of Wang Yue's service to Shangji was transmitted, dozens of rangers with extraordinary skills came all the way to Xiangping in just one month.

Through Wang Yuehe's construction of the martial arts hall, although Shang Ji could not fully control the ranger group, he could guide them to develop in his favor to the greatest extent, at least not becoming a stumbling block for himself. It is even possible to set up an organization similar to the "Mercenary Guild" in Western Fantasy to induce a large number of players and Native Ranger to work for them through the economy.

In addition, the martial arts hall has another role. Depending on the size of the martial arts hall, there will be a radiation range. Within this range, it will subtly increase the force value of civilians, increase the success rate of barracks training, and enhance the probability of awakening characteristics. At the same time, it increases the possibility of changing to a military general!

Moreover, the establishment of a martial arts hall can also improve the cohesion of residents, enhance public security, people's hearts and other attributes, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

To sum up, the martial arts hall finally became a key project alongside the academy and the medical hall, and was included in the first three-year plan of Pingzhou, and Wang Yue, as a direct beneficiary, of course agreed with both hands and feet on this plan.

"In addition, according to the proposal of the lord, we have also formulated a 'three-year plan for 10,000 villages'." Deng Yan didn't notice Wang Yue's abnormal movements, and continued to introduce.

"The main thing is to spend three years to build 10,000 new villages in Pingzhou counties. And help some of the villages with high development potential and good development results to be promoted to cities!

However, due to the constraints of money and population, we will first experiment on a large wilderness south of Xiangping and west of Xi'anping, and first establish a thousand villages.

If the results are good and the scope of the experiment is expanded, the western Liaoning corridor, Wuxian to Wangping, and the large wilderness between Pingguo and Yushi will be filled with new villages! ”

Listening to Deng Yan read out the ambitious first three-year plan for Pingzhou, everyone only felt that the corners of their mouths were dry and their heads were dizzy.

Swallowing his saliva, Zhao Yun arched his hand and said, "Dare not ask, do we have enough funds and manpower to support the whole plan?"

The investment fund mentioned in the three-year plan is 1.5 billion yuan, not to mention whether the business can raise so much money. Even if you can, this money is not enough! Chidao, academies, martial arts halls, medical halls, reclamation, and city repairs are all big money-burners, not to mention the Ten Thousand Villages Plan.

In addition, no matter how much money needs to be invested in the three-year 10,000 village plan, a simple 10,000 qualified village chiefs and merchants will not be able to make it up!
