Chapter 766: A Joyful Harvest Season
Three days later, Lu Yao was refreshed and summoned all the generals.
Xun Yu had already placed the spoils of war two days ago, and this super internal affairs genius hurriedly returned to the city to report, but when he learned that Lu Yao was going to rest for three days before going to the meeting, he could only endure it.
"Enlighten the Lord." Xun Yu was the first to stand up and report on his work.
Lu Yao listened quietly, in a good mood.
Xanadu City has entered a stage of rapid development, which can be described as earth-shaking changes compared to before. The first is the population, which has brought the population of Xanadu to 700 million. Xun Yu lived up to expectations and gave an accurate figure in just two days.
761,360,000 ...... Fractions are not counted.
Among them, the young adults have reached 60%, which is a considerable proportion. Under the normal social structure, the age ratio of the population is generally pyramidal. In this absence of family planning, children account for the largest proportion, followed by young adults, including women, and the least elderly.
However, the population ratio of Xanadu is a bit deformed. Children account for 30 per cent, young adults account for 60 per cent, and the elderly account for only 10 per cent.
There are many reasons for this, but the main reason is that the population of Xanadu City is mainly derived from war, that is, raiding, and natural reproduction is lagging behind.
Thanks to the efforts of Xun Yu and other scholars, the population returned from the looting was digested very quickly, which made the two major indices of public opinion and public security improve rapidly, and strongly supported the Zhuya development plan. And another credit is none other than Jia Xu.
Jia Xu knows human nature very well and is the best political commissar properly. From the army to the people, he basically couldn't escape his "poisonous hand", and quickly gained a sense of identity and contributed wholeheartedly to Xanadu City.
The second is the food problem.
Zhuya Prefecture is vast and sparsely populated, and was once regarded as a desolate land by the NPCs of the Central Plains, but now the population of Zhuya Prefecture has reached more than 760 million, which is still only an insignificant number in front of Zhuya Prefecture, which has expanded a hundredfold.
Xun Yu received a large amount of funds from Lu Yao, and during the period of Lu Yao's expedition to the American, he showed amazing courage and solved the food problem in one fell swoop, making the per capita fertile land in Xanadu City reach an astonishing 200 mu. This part of the expenditure accounts for 60% of the total funds.
The pay is huge, and the harvest is naturally considerable.
Zhuya Prefecture has a pleasant climate and can harvest three crops a year. One mu of farmland can produce 50 units of grain and grass in one season, and 200 mu per capita, that is, 10,000 units of grain and grass per capita in one season, far exceeding consumption. According to Xun Yu's report, the export of grain and grass to the Central Plains has now become a major source of revenue for Xanadu City, second only to him, a black-hearted boss who sells ships.
The third major gain is the warship.
Since Lu Yao expressed that he would enter overseas in the future, Xun Yu paid attention and did not neglect the ship construction work. Nowadays, the inventory on the side of the dock city is quite considerable, with a total of 10,000 Qiankun building ships, 100,000 ordinary building ships, and more than 1 million fighting ships.
However, such a large inventory is useless, Lu Yao has an extraordinary status in Huaxia District, and no one dares to brush the tiger's whiskers and start the war lightly. The work of the four fleets is only to escort escorts, patrol patrols, and fight the trivial things such as pirates that occasionally come out of the blue.
Therefore, in addition to reserving a part of these ships for the replacement of the four fleets, the rest of the ships were leased to Zhen Yan and other major merchants, so the collateral follow-up impact came, that is, the fourth major harvest.
Business is booming.
With the support of Xun Yu, Zhen Yan and other major merchants rented a large number of ships at preferential prices to travel between Zhuya and the Central Plains.
In a short period of time, the top ten merchants who first took refuge in Lu Yao are now very rich, all of them are comparable to the four major merchants in the past, and at the same time, they also strongly supported the economic construction of Xanadu City, and by the way, they even seduced countless Jiuli tribes to come to work, and the rent paid even made Xun Yu not hesitate to engage in some shady scenes, and made some policy tilts in order to earn more rent.
In addition, there has been a lot of progress in internal affairs, and Xun Yu told the truth, and it took two hours to report it. Just stopped talking here, and before Xun Yu returned to the train, Lu Zhi couldn't wait to report his work.
Today's Lu Zhi is no longer what it used to be, he is in good spirits, I don't know if it is to repay Lu Yao for saving his life, and finally changed his mind, or because Lu Yao saved the Han family, out of gratitude, he now really regards himself as Lu Yao's courtier.
The situation in Huaxia District has been decided, and Lu Yao forcibly divided the world, curbed the ambition of Cao Cao and other heroes to seize the world, and protected the Han family. Xanadu City, or Zhuya, has no foreign enemies. And those Jiuliman in the territory who have not yet been put into service are also bought by various luxury goods in Xanadu City, and they are very well-behaved.
There is neither external enemy nor internal trouble.
However, in terms of military affairs, Xanadu City has not been left behind. As Lu Yaoyi's thoughts overseas were revealed, Lu Zhi persuaded Xun Yu and other ministers with an old face to grab a large budget and go all out to develop the army.
Among them, the army has reached 20 million, and the naval division has reached 30 million, and the total strength of the territory has reached as high as 50 million, making the ratio of troops to population reach 1:15. The vicious development of the military has brought tremendous pressure, and in private, Xun Yu and other civil servants have to complain, but it is useless.
Lu Zhi is like an old lion who protects food, whoever dares to bare his teeth, he dares to spray loudly, even if Xun Yu and other important ministers are sprayed in front of him, he has to bow down and be small.
"Lord Wang, the old minister has been training soldiers and horses for a long time, and I don't know when to go on the expedition?" After Lu Zhi finished his report, he asked excitedly, with an expression of the old man, I am not old, and I can fight for another ten years, you just say who you will beat, the old man, I will personally end up.
"The lord has returned from an expedition, how can he raise swords and soldiers again." When Xun Yu heard this, he exploded on the spot.
Your sister's fight, you know how good it is to use the newly received funds to develop the territory, it won't take a year, Zhu Ya is definitely comparable to the Central Plains.
"Yellow-mouthed child, frog at the bottom of the well." Lu Zhi is squinted, very domineering.
"You ......" Xun Yu was angry. This old thing of his meow knows that he is relying on his old qualifications to do things, and he is becoming less and less of a cultural person.
From Lu Zhi downward, a group of generals were refreshed, and they wished that Lu Yao would follow closely and announce their departure. The battle for fame on the battlefield, especially for the generals who failed to participate in this expedition to the American-American region and could only stay behind, was quite supportive.
And Xun Yu and other civil servants are the most stable, how can they be willing to raise swords and soldiers and delay the development of the territory. A heated debate ensued.
Lu Yao listened from above, his smile remained unchanged, this is the foundation of being a superior, and he can't let his subordinates see his thoughts. In my heart, I agree with Lu Zhi's point of view.
The primary purpose of coming back this time is to assist the Huaxia Alliance in solving the cancer of the family, and it will not work if it is not fought.
However, he didn't say anything on the spot, just let the civil and military sides argue, and before the official announcement, upgrade the territory first.
