Apocalypse will consider it yourself!

Anyway, Governor Yang was actually fooling him. At this time, the fertile fields of the garrison had already been divided up by the generals, or they were directly stolen and sold, and the only ones left in the military households were the worst...

In fact, even the military households were almost gone. Yang Xin had previously investigated in Guizhou that the smallest population of the guards had a vacancies of more than two-thirds. Although Huguang is definitely better than Guizhou, it is a miracle that the 5,000 posts can exceed 4,000. But in general, these guards can still have more than 100,000 acres for the three kings. They had no problem living normally in the past, especially Jingzhou and Hengyang, which was very high per mu, and even the poor land yield was two stone valleys.

It is no worse than Taihu Circle.

The yield per mu of farmland in the Fuguo area of ​​Jingzhou is even more than five stones.

As for the gift of land...

That was not what Yang Xin was worried about.

Those civil servants would get entangled with Tianqi. In history, until Tianqi died, they did not cover more than one million acres of land for the three kings. It was not until King Hui gave him land in the early years of Chongzhen that he had given him 800,000 yuan.

Then it was left alone.

The biggest investment of the Three Kings is actually to build a house for them.

Fortunately, this one has steel and concrete.

After Yang Xin entered the palace to meet Tianqi, he immediately went to his own hospital. Xiaocao is currently in charge of the hospital. As for the main doctor, of course, Lao Wang, and Wang Huazhen was also pardoned, but was imprisoned for three generations. Since this way, he became a doctor honestly. By the way, he found his position and recently received recognition from Tianqi. His Majesty the Emperor often came here to visit.

Since this is the case, he should be a promising profession, which is a promising profession!

Governor Yang immediately returned to his home.

New City.

"Yes, I want this!"

Governor Yang looked at a picture in front of him that looked like a Dolphin Bay with satisfaction.

More than a dozen whales are being slaughtered.

However, these are not giant whales, and it is difficult to see sperm whales in the Bohai Bay. They are just minky whales, which are also considered giant beasts here.

"This thing is very rare. It is said that North Korea is a little more, but there are more around Japan. The meat is very unpalatable and it is all fat. Not to mention eating it, it will be disgusting when you smell it. That is, you can barely swallow it with spices and chili. Anyway, I have never eaten it again after eating it. What's the use of you making so many canned whale meat? It's better to refine it. It's very useful to use whale oil as lamp oil. In the past, Xuwen was used as tributes. If we refine it, we might make a big profit. If we sell it into cans, we can only lose money. These days, we spent tens of thousands of taels of taels to make cans. The jars were more expensive than the meat inside. As a result, they were sold to the capital and they were all piled in the cellar."

Mrs. Yang said.

"Just leave the money alone, anyway, nothing else matters. I just keep hoarding this, and there are no whales to hunt those seals."

Yang Xin said.

At this time, some seals were found in the Bohai Bay.

"Then you have to go to Fuzhou"

Mrs. Yang said speechlessly.

"Fuzhou is Fuzhou. Use those clutches and several other clutches to specialize in whaling, and then go to Dengzhou to build another factory. These whaling ships go to North Korea and Japan to hunt whales in winter, and directly chop the whales into meat and bring them back to make canned food."

Yang Xin said.

"Are you worried about a famine?"

Mrs. Yang finally woke up and said.

"Don't worry about why I am. In short, I just keep making canned foods. But you must ensure the quality of these canned foods. For those who are stocked in the cellar, you need to check them regularly. Don't know if they are bad because of the quality, and you don't know if they are deteriorated. Try to make at least one million kilograms a year, the more the better. In addition, the Clippers must be built constantly. Nanyang Company cannot use them. If you build one, you will be equipped with sailors to go to sea. Even if you go to Diaoyu Island to pull bird droppings, you can go to other places to recruit them. At least three hundred Clippers will be built within three years."

Yang Xin said.

"Three hundred ships, are you crazy?"

Mrs. Yang said in surprise.

Three hundred ships are indeed crazy, but it is a must.

Although these ships have a small load capacity, in fact, only one hundred tons, but one hundred tons is more than one thousand stones of rice. Three hundred speedboats can transport about 400,000 or 500,000 stones at a time. Six round trips can travel from Southeast Asia a year, which is also three million stones...

Three million stones are not much.

Three million stone rice sounds quite a lot, but in fact, the two counties have no yields, which makes this little grain fall into a black hole. Moreover, it is not so easy to buy three million stones of grain from Southeast Asia. Don’t think that Southeast Asia is a granary, and there is not much surplus grain available there. It is indeed good natural conditions there, like Java Island, and it is easy to cook three times a year, but the problem is that the population is small and the agricultural technology is poor. More importantly, there is constant war every day. Whether it is Siam or Vietnam, it is the same in wars, and Burma, which cannot produce too much surplus grain in these places.

Millions of stones a year are the limit. After all, at this time, it is estimated that the total population on Java Island will not exceed one million.

There is still Japan...

Japan cannot squeeze out food.

Because Japan is also trapped in the Kuanyong famine brought about by the Little Ice Age.

The road to purchase is just better than nothing.

Really, this does not mean that there is a port where grain is stored overseas, and a team of merchant ships are loaded and returned. In this era when there is no real transportation, Yang Xin asked his fleet to go to India and could not transport much grain back a year. Even if there are local merchants who are willing to sell it, and there is surplus grain to sell in Bangladesh, and the grain is collected from villages one by one and a small boat to transport it to Daka little by little, it would have to be a huge project. Even if the news of him buying grain spread to these villages, it is probably not a simple task, and there are also great famines in the ghost places in Bangladesh.

In short, I can only do my best in this kind of thing, but it would be a joke to rely on this to save the Ming Dynasty.

There are more than 1.5 billion people in this country.

Conservatively estimated, it accounts for one-third of the world's total population, and Yan'an Prefecture, which is the worst drought, has almost completely lost its production. The population has exceeded that of most European countries. In any case, the Dutch population may not be able to keep up with Yan'an Prefecture. Currently, the Yan'an Prefecture has a registered population of 600,000, not counting as military households, and there are many garrisons there, and there are probably millions of military households. The official registered population of the Ming Dynasty is roughly doubled by two.

Therefore, the population of Yan'an Prefecture will not be less than 1.5 million.

Currently, there are about 1.6 million people in the Netherlands.

In the subsequent drought, Yan'an Prefecture can basically be described as completely extinct. If a population of 1.5 million can support them, they can fill in all the food that Yang Xin has achieved so far and the planned increase in the grain.

Not necessarily enough.

And there is only one Yan'an Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty?

In fact, at least more than half of the counties in several prefectures in Shaanxi are close to extinction. When the drought advances to Henan, Yang Xin probably plunders all the surplus grains from all countries in the world, and he cannot prevent people from starving to death.

So, this is the most reliable way to make canned food.

At least the most realistic, no matter whether it is iron or tin, there is no need to worry about it. The Ming Dynasty's steel production is the best in the world, which is without any suspense. Yunnan tin mines have been mined for a long time. As long as he wants, the gentry there will use crazy mining. Moreover, the iron cans do not use much material. In fact, Yang Xin's cans are all very large. The standard is to fill a can of fifty kilograms, and a pile of cooked whale meat must be compacted after adding a mess.

There are also fish in the sea.

More importantly, Yang Xin can build factories throughout the coast from south to north, and in addition, these factories can still produce continuously during the famine.

This is the most realistic.

As for immigration overseas, it was also unrealistic. Britain arrived in North America from Mayflower until 1650, thirty years later, and in 1950, a total of 50,000 immigrated in total. This was due to the pressure of the civil war and there was no climate difference in the Americas. Thirty years, 50,000 people, and by 1700, a full seventy years passed, and only 250,000 people in North American colonies, including a large number of locally born, large-scale immigration is not that simple.

At present, the most ideal immigration direction that Yang Xin can choose is Taiwan.

But even if he goes to Taiwan, he must be prepared to die many people. All kinds of diseases are everywhere, but the only thing he can withstand is Taiwan. If the mortality rate is higher when immigration to Southeast Asia, a malaria can cause more than half of those northerners to fall, and when the rainy season comes, you should be prepared to die.

The Mongolians attacked Vietnam three times, and all of them were like unstoppable during the dry season and ran away immediately as soon as the rainy season arrived.

Immigration and development must be carried out.

But it is also unrealistic to expect immigration to explore and solve the catastrophe facing the Ming Dynasty.

"My second uncle asked you if you were crazy?"

Mrs. Yang said.

"Just be crazy, this world is almost crazy, I have to be crazy if I don't be crazy!"

Yang Xin said with her arms around her.

"There will be a big famine?"

Fang Tinglan leaned against his shoulder and asked at the busy farmland not far away.

There are Yang family tenants who are planting rice seedlings.

At this time, the wheat harvest was almost over, some of the early harvests had already started planting rice seedlings, and some were sowing fertilizers, from the small island in the far east sea. This was also the first rice fields to use bird steak. The yield of bird steak there was not high. After all, it was only a little place, and it was difficult to accommodate too many workers. Even the freshwater had to be transported from the Diaoyu Islands. The so-called freshwater on the Diaoyu Island is just an intermittent stream.

Even a reservoir needs to be built.

But at least it is enough to supply the Yang family’s rice fields.

"Famine, in fact, is not enough to describe it as famine. To be precise, it is a catastrophe, a catastrophe that swept the entire Ming Dynasty, and thousands of miles of land are full of starvation. You will see thousands of dead bodies carrying out every day in the capital, and you will see all the death and destruction you see in history books."

Yang Xin said.

On the pier not far away, a fast ship quietly docked.

Shen Shikui, who had not seen for a long time, walked off the boat and looked at them in a little astonishment.

"Brother Shen, you won't bring bad news, right?"

Yang Xin said.

Shen Shikui quickly walked forward to salute.

Fang Tinglan quickly broke free.

"The last general has seen the governor, and there is indeed bad news. The main force of Jiannu attacked North Korea and captured all the province. Qi Shuai protected Li Jue and retreated to Luozhou for help."
