Chao Mu's people were very professional, and they even had time to make a summary.

There are three categories: servants, handymen, and tenant farmers who serve the Li family. People whose personal rights belong to the Li family have a total population of 5,121.

There are 986 households in total, with an average of five people per household.

"Based on the age structure, we can see that the Li family exploits their servants very hard. There is only one person over sixty years old in every ten households, that is, about fifty people."

This is an extremely plain sentence in the summary.

But the meaning behind it made Huang An feel cold all over for a moment.

Among fifty people, is there only one old man over sixty years old?

This is too scary.

Even if it is limited by external factors such as long-term malnutrition and lack of good medical conditions, the number of elderly people should not be so rare.

There is not even an old person in every family.

Huang An could only think of one reason for this strange phenomenon.

That is the Li family, artificially excluding the existence of the elderly among the tenant farmers.

Either kill them, deny them food, or use various methods to indirectly force the elderly over sixty to death.

To a certain extent, aristocratic families are more ruthless than capital.

Capital traps can make people bankrupt.

But you can't do things that directly cost people's lives.

After all, you have to live to squeeze out surplus value.

In the eyes of capital, the elderly are very easy to squeeze out profits.

Industries such as diseases, health care products, medical treatment, tourism, and insurance are all golden fingers used to harvest the wealth of the elderly.

They wish the elderly could live a few more years.

But in aristocratic families that focus on agriculture, the elderly are negative assets.

Aristocratic families don't need "waste" who can't work and can only eat. Therefore, the elderly among the sharecroppers have been artificially "eliminated" by them.

Elimination here refers to death.

Various means are used to force these elderly people who cannot do any work to die indirectly or directly.

Therefore, there is such a strange set of data and a phenomenon that is extremely scary.

In Feng'an City, which is mainly engaged in agricultural production, the average number of people in each of these households is only five.

This is unthinkable.

Huang An looked at the statistics. The ages of these people were surprisingly young.

The average age is only twenty-two.

The male to female ratio is seven to three.

Twenty-two years old is the most powerful time in a person's life.

The male to female ratio is seven to three, which completely goes against the natural laws of fertility.

Among one hundred people, seventy were men and thirty were women.

According to the laws of nature, the number of girls should be seventy.

Where did the remaining forty girls go?

As a physically disadvantaged group of women, they have also been "naturally eliminated".

Under the rule of the Li family, 40% of the women in the family died in infancy.

The phenomenon of drowning of baby girls in the Li family farm is much more serious than that in Huang An's fiefdom, Wangjiazhuang.

Huang An should be very happy to get such a large population with labor force and productivity for nothing.

It is conceivable that these people were squeezed, exploited, and "eliminated", but Huang An couldn't be happy at all.

Although he is not a very good person, he still has some basic morality and sense of justice.

Because he comes from a lower class background, he can empathize with others.

Unlike those young people who fantasize about traveling back to their hometown in ancient times, Huang An's thoughts are more mature.

He clearly knew that if he could travel back in time to ancient times, there would be a 99.999% chance that he would be a low-level citizen.

Under such circumstances, how could Huang An tolerate the existence of a family like the Li family?

He practices martial arts, he lives, and there is always something to pursue.

Huang An feels that it is worthwhile and meaningful to help the people at the bottom while making himself happy.

"Let them live and work in peace and contentment from now on!"

Huang An sighed quietly and continued to read the summary of the statistics book.

Five minutes later, Huang An put down the statistical book.

He pulled the map prepared on the table and began to think deeply.

Three minutes later, his mood eased, and he picked up the second document - "Proposal and Detailed Plan for the Development of Li's Real Estate, Shops and Other Real Estate".

Huang An had asked Chao Mu to send someone to make this planning document.

There are two copies before and after, as well as other important subsidiary documents.

Huang An was also brought back together.

Depending on the development status, there will be other planning documents in the future.

Huang An has his own ideas about developing his own power.

But if one person is short-term, everyone will be wise.

He was thinking about it alone, so how could Chao Mu's group of professionals come to complete it?

After all, building a force from scratch, from small to large, is Chao Mu's strength.

They have the experience of great success after practical operation.

The beginning of the planning book is still a summary of the development force.

It is a general description, that is, the overall plan, like the main line of the story.

After Huang An read it, he could only say that it was far-sighted and coherent.

He is far inferior.

Chao Mu and others made detailed plans and classifications for the redevelopment and development plans of the Li family's property.

Regarding farmland, the advice they gave was to divide the fields and guarantee the output to each household!

The content of the document is detailed down to the number of fields allocated to each family.

Details such as detailed irrigation plans for each household.

Chao Mu and others fully considered the special characteristics of the landlord class in the Ming Empire.

In the Ming Dynasty, the landlord class and the ruling class overlapped.

This abnormal social ecology allows Huang An's orders to be fully implemented.

It can be said that there are advantages and disadvantages.

Feng'an City's agricultural development plan is divided into three stages.

In the first stage, the Li family’s original farmland of more than 6,000 acres will be fully absorbed.

With the help of these farmlands, they can temporarily resettle their own people.

For example, the Li family's tenant farmers, servants, handymen, etc.

There are even members of the Li family who have not committed any crime.

Solve the problem of food and clothing for your subordinates, and continue to win the hearts and minds of the people.

Chao Mu proposed the first phase of the plan, which was to cultivate these farms outside the city into something similar to a base area.

Huang An looked at the first phase of the plan and found it very familiar.

The entire first phase of the mission implements the saying, "A single spark can start a prairie fire!".

The first stage of planning took one and a half months.

That is to say, the first phase of the task will be completed at the end of July, before the autumn harvest arrives.

During this period of time, Huang An needs to completely integrate the property and people after the destruction of the Li family into his own, and complete the digestion process.

The second stage, based on the first stage, gradually erodes all the land in Feng'an City.

That is to say, farming, including medicinal fields, etc.

But before that, Huang An still needs to completely eradicate the original aristocratic families in the city.
