This world is originally much larger than the earth.
Not even one percent of the land is used by humans, and the rest is wilderness.
In addition, productivity is not high, so even though the area is several times that of the earth, the population is not larger than that of China.
And it's not safe outside the wilderness.
The main reason is that this world is full of vitality and wild beasts are abundant.
Of course, Su Fan's troops often train in the wilderness and scavenge the surrounding wild animals, so there is not much danger in the wilderness.
But Su Fan is different here. Su Fan's East China Sea Territory covers an area of almost 100,000 square kilometers and has a population of tens of millions, which is really not that much.
Even if there are 20 million more people, there won't be any burden. If there were the productivity of the earth like his first life, even 50 million people would definitely be able to feed it.
"here it is?"
When the carriage arrived at the terminal, the expressions of Uncle Xunyu and nephew changed again.
The tall city wall shocked people, "My lord actually built a city here?"
None of these cities in Shenhan has slowly expanded over countless years. The city in front of me is probably only less than ten years old.
He remembered that his lord had only been in the East China Sea for less than ten years.
Xun Yu couldn't imagine building such a city in ten years.
"Let's go in"
Donghai City was built by Su Fan in five years, with a total of one million manpower and material resources.
This city is larger than the seat of Donghai County. Of course, the city wall may not be as high as the former, but the city wall made of reinforced concrete is also quite solid.
The total area reaches 60 square kilometers, and the owner population is over one million.
When they got home, Su Fan took several people to the city lord's mansion.
"Wen Ruo, Gongda, this is Zao Duwei, the person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture, and this is the person in charge of Lu Lao's Ministry of Industry. Our agriculture and industry in the East China Sea Territory can be in the current situation only because of these two people."
"My lord, you are so complimentary. The present day of the East China Sea Territory is all thanks to you, my lord. We are just following your orders."
When Mr. Lu heard this, he quickly said humbly.
"Mr. Lu is so humble. Without you, no matter how many ideas I have, I won't be able to implement them. You are the most important."
Su Fan smiled and shook his head. What he said was true. He must have played a role in making Donghai City what it is today. After all, he grasped the general direction. Without his advice, these ink workers would not have been able to create.
These things come out.
But he only took the lead. It was these Mohist craftsmen who really created value. The arrival of jujube in agriculture has indeed made great progress in agriculture.
He is indeed a master of agriculture in the late Han Dynasty.
When it comes to farming, the other party is definitely a winner.
"There is no need to be modest. I invite you to come today to introduce to you two talents. Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo, Xun You and Xun Gongda. These two are great talents of the Xun family in Yingchuan."
"I am very lucky to have two people helping me."
"My lord loves me so much, I feel ashamed"
Uncle and nephew Xun Yu stood up quickly and said flattered.
"Haha! If you don't have to be modest, Wen Ruo, I am quite aware of your talents. Donghai City happens to have a Ministry of Industry and a Ministry of Agriculture, but in terms of personnel, it is still quite chaotic and the efficiency of employment is not high."
"So I want to set up a Ministry of Civil Affairs to be in charge of Donghai City's personnel, taxation, etc. Mr. Lu, Wen Ruo and the others don't say anything to me every day. The personnel is in chaos. Wen Ruo and the others are here to manage it, and you, the ink workers, can only
We need to study various technologies, so that’s enough.”
"Haha! Thank you so much, my lord."
"Wen Ruo, you will be the chief of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. From now on, all the affairs of Donghai City will be handled by you. Gongda, you will temporarily assist Wen Ruo."
"Thank you Lord, I will do my best"
Xun Yu was a little excited and moved when he received such attention upon his arrival. He also understood the rights of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which were similar to those of a county magistrate. They were to assist the prefect of a county and handle various government affairs in the county.
The position is high and powerful, and it can only be held by close confidants.
"Wen Ruo, what we in Donghai City attach most importance to is agriculture and industry. Agriculture mainly includes food, livestock and fishery."
"Captain Zao is mainly responsible for the agricultural fields and grain."
"By the way, Lieutenant Zao, please also introduce to Wen Ruo and the others the general situation of agriculture in our East China Sea Territory."
"It's my lord"
When Zao Zhi heard this, his face was calm, as if he had been prepared for a long time. When he heard Su Fan's inquiry, he didn't think much and started to report.
"As of now, our territory in the East China Sea has arable land of eight million acres, the average wheat yield per mu is about four dan, and the rice yield is six dan per mu."
As Zao Zhi told the data one by one, everyone present had different expressions. Su Fan had a calm expression, as if he had been prepared for it.
Others, even the old people in the East China Sea Territory, did not expect that agriculture would develop so rapidly.
"Lord, the land that can be developed around the East China Sea Territory is almost the same now. It is only a few hundred thousand acres at most. The rest is mountainous and forested land, which is difficult to develop. If you want to continue to develop, you can only think of
Are you going to Donghai County?"
"In addition, last month's autumn harvest, the barns were full, and several new barns needed to be built."
"Well! The barn needs to continue to be built. The food can be used by our Donghai Territory for three years, but it is still not enough."
"Don't sell the grain, continue to save it. As for the new fields and mountains and forests, don't move it for the time being. As for Donghai County, you can open up wasteland."
"As for whether anyone will cause trouble at that time, you can follow up on Wen Ruo's matter in the future. We will not interfere with those private lands, but in the ownerless wasteland, whoever dares to obstruct them, I allow you to use force."
Su Fan said with a somewhat solemn tone.
Food is a top priority for him. Although there have been bumper harvests every year in recent years, especially rice, there are two harvests a year, and even three harvests in some places. The harvests are getting bigger and bigger every year.
But Su Fan also knew that the population in his area would increase in the future. Now it is enough to feed tens of millions of people in the East China Sea Territory for three years, but if the population continues to increase, it will not be enough.
Although the princes' struggle against Dong is over, the next time will be a more chaotic time for the princes to fight for hegemony.
Historically, during this period, tens of millions of people died. Before the Yellow Turbans at the end of the Han Dynasty, there were about 30 to 40 million people. As a result, after the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin, only a few million people were left.
In fact, not many people actually die in war. After all, how many people can die in a war?
Most of them starved to death. When troubled times came, food could not be produced and people were displaced, resulting in tragedy.
Su Fan knew very well, so he couldn't rule the world for a short time and change everything, so he could save everyone one by one.
