The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 180 Talking about the situation

Not to mention this year, Jinzhou has been developing for more than three years, regaining Zhenjiang and the east coast of Changbai Mountain, with a population of 90 million before the end of the year.

This achievement is shocking. Who knew that under the rule of the lonely overseas general, the population reached 90 million.

The most amazing thing is that it seems to be self-sufficient.

The meaning behind it is thought-provoking.

but.

No one thought that in one year, the population under the rule would double, and the speed of development under the general's rule would be speechless.

This is 100 million turned into 200 million.

It's not that 20 becomes [-].

At the same time as being in a trance, there was also a wave of worry.

Today's Dazhou, because the food lacks protein and oily water, adults need one or two catties a day to fill their stomachs.

Soldiers in combat need to provide nearly two catties.

If you really let go and eat, it's not uncommon to eat two catties.

Counting the old, young, women and children, it would cost at least one catty a day.

And half a child eats me to death, those young people eat more than adults.

Of course, you can live on less.

For example, one dry and one thinner a day, or two thinners a day.

Another example is when the time of the day is bad, when the green and yellow are not picked up, isn't it the same way before.

But no matter what, the food needed by a population of 200 million is an extremely terrifying demand. Only such a large grassland in Mongolia can feed these people.

Although Tang Qing'an has become a big market so far, it is not worth mentioning compared to the population of 200 million.

Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rely on the sea to eat the sea.

For a catty of ordinary fish, remove the internal organs, fish bones, fish scales, etc., and the remaining fish meat can be about four taels, but it can provide more protein.

Fish bones and fish heads can also make soup.

Fishing requires a boat, and a boat requires high-quality wood.

There are many things in Liaodong, and there are also countless old and big trees. With the reclamation of fields in various places, many felled forests and large trees have been completely preserved.

This is also one of the assessments of officials.

Although the speed of shipbuilding in fishing grounds is still far behind, we should make preparations in advance. There are really a lot of big logs that have been dried in the shade for more than two years.

The only one trapped is the boatman.

Even because of the start of the assembly line, the demand for boat craftsmanship has been lowered, and the speed at which apprentices can be trained has been accelerated.

But in the end, 100 million becomes 200 million, not 20 becomes [-].

If there are [-] fishing boats, all problems will be solved, and they will be far richer than the people in the mainland.

However, in the entire Great Zhou, there are estimated to be more than ten thousand ships of various colors in the territory.

However, if there are [-] fishing boats, the catches along the coast will not be able to keep up, which will lead to an increase in the rate of empty boats.

It's not that I'm worried about the depletion of fishing resources in this place, that's where I am going. In later generations, a boat can hold [-] tons, but now it can't even match a fraction.

It is required to start building large ships to prepare for the gradual distant sea fishing in the future, because it is necessary to improve efficiency and avoid damaging the vitality of the local fishing sources.

This is just Tang Qing'an's far-sighted plan, even if he doesn't do this, it won't affect the fishing sources here in ten years.

But since he is in charge of this place, he needs to be more responsible.

It would be great if I could get an extra three years out of thin air.

This was the thought of Tang Qing'an and even the officials present.

Because three years later, regardless of the acres of land in various places, the number of ships disembarked by the shipyard will achieve a qualitative change, which is far enough to fulfill the general's requirements.

But at this point, everyone is uncomfortable.

Let go.

Give power.

This is Tang Qing'an's promise to the fishery officials.

night.

Xie Youcheng and Tao Jie sat under the general.

The three of them sat together and talked about their plans for the future.

Unlike the rest of the officials, Xie Youcheng was in charge of confidential affairs in various places early in the morning, and was later sent to North Korea for a year because of the need for North Korea.

With the current stability of North Korea, Xie Youcheng can no longer stay in North Korea, and has to be transferred back to China to be responsible for the entire Liaozuo.

The person who takes over his position in North Korea will be Tao Jie.

He is a more radical and arrogant person than Xie Youcheng.

"I originally planned to expand the army to 10 in two years, but this year the whole army has exceeded [-]. Although the former fan and the army have reached a contract, the military salary will be halved.

But in the end it is only a short-term approach. Next year, at the latest the year after next, the full amount of military pay will be restored. "

Tang Qing'an said.

Xie Youcheng and Tao Jie listened carefully without saying a word.

They have stayed in North Korea for too long. Although there are official documents to understand the current situation in Jinzhou, they are separated by a layer.

"These [-] soldiers have gone through the flames of war and formed an army under difficult circumstances, they are quite elite.

They only need half of the original military salary to support them, which shows their high level of awareness.

However, as the general said, this cannot last long. After a long time, it will hurt the feelings of the soldiers, which will eventually affect morale, which is extremely detrimental.

As for the disarmament proposal, I also don't agree with it. With so many elite soldiers, others can't ask for them. How can they cut off their arms.

And scattered in the countryside, I don't need others to use it, which is really not advisable. "

Tao Jie spoke first.

Xie Youcheng smiled and did not rush to talk to him.

Tao Jie is a half newcomer, and he can't compare to the friendship between himself and the general. It's human nature to want to highlight himself.

"Yes, so the full amount of military pay will be restored in the next year at the latest, and I will also issue some additional rewards to comfort the hard work of the sergeants in the past two years."

Tang Qing'an laughed.

"Is the general planning to fight the barbarians three years later?"

Xie Youcheng asked.

Xie Youcheng asked this question because the general's governance strategy was settled after three years.

Whether it is to gather Liao people or the army.

Tang Qing'an did not answer Xie Youcheng directly.

Not because of worry.

Whether it is Xie Youcheng or Tao Jie, they are both responsible for the confidential affairs of the General's Mansion, and there is no need to hide many things from them, but they need to take the initiative to disclose them.

The same is true for the third brother in Beijing.

"There used to be nearly 500 million people in Liaozuo, but most of them fell into the hands of barbarians. I expect to recruit a million new Liao people this year.

In addition to the massacres of the barbarians in these years, there are still more than two million Liao people in its territory.

Of the two hundred thousand people, less than 50 people are now in the guerrilla zone, which means that there are still 200 million people in the hands of the barbarians. "

Xie Youcheng.

From the very beginning, he was responsible for inquiring about the situation of the barbarians, and he also had the old relationship with the general in Shenyang as an internal response.

So not only the general, but he also knows the situation in Shenyang like the back of his hand.

The western part of Liaozuo is the place of essence, and it turned out to be the center of gravity of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The barbarian tribes used to mainly hunt in Nuergansi, but now they have acquired the western part of Liaozuo, and most of their tribes have migrated here.

Regardless of the number of acres or the fertile land, the west of Liaozuo is the crown of Liaozuo.

There were originally 500 million people in Liaodong, of which more than [-] million were concentrated in this area, including the original Liaodong capital, who was also stationed in Liaoyang.

Thinking of this, Xie Youcheng was suddenly in a daze.

The barbarians themselves have a population of nearly one million. Now it is estimated that there are more than 500 barbarians who have migrated to Liaozuo. There were originally [-] million Liao people.

If according to what the general said, the number of Liao people under the rule this year will reach 200 million, then the population of the barbarians themselves and the Liao people will be about 300 million.

As long as the population size is concerned, the general can compete with the barbarians.

The barbarians have more than [-] elite soldiers, and the general now has more than [-] elite soldiers, and at the same time there are more than [-] defenders who have experienced the flames of war.

These more than ten thousand defenders are placed in the pass, and they are also considered elite soldiers.

Behind the general is the imperial court, North Korea.

If the general is more courageous and willing to gamble, he can launch a decisive battle against the barbarians this year.

Thinking of this, Xie Youcheng shook his head again.

Based on his understanding of the general, the general never does anything he is not sure about.

If the general proposes to launch a decisive battle against the barbarians, it is time to be sure.

And food is a big problem.

Whether it is to unite with Beizhen, Jinzhou, or North Korea, to form a 20 coalition army, the number of civilian men, mules, horses, etc. needed is as high as one million.

Now the common people are hungry, not only the barbarians have no food, but also the imperial court and North Korea have no food.

In other words, even if the general wants to take risks against his temperament, he is unable to organize an army of 20.

food.

Xie Youcheng thought of the key.

The barbarians, the generals, and the imperial court, whoever can get enough food first, will have the upper hand and can launch an attack in advance.

A sense of enlightenment arises.

Xie Youcheng was in a daze.

Since going to sea, the general's strategy turned out to be one after another.

No wonder the general has paid so much attention to people's livelihood from the very beginning, and put more than half of his energy on people's livelihood from the beginning.

Take one step and see ten steps. Is this still a human being?

While Tang Qing'an was talking, Tao Jie on the right was serious.

Seeing from the corner of his eye that Xie Youcheng was distracted, he raised his voice a little. Xie Youcheng came back to his senses and looked at the general apologetically.

Tang Qing'an didn't take it seriously and continued talking.

"If the guerrillas want to make great achievements, they must not only support themselves, but also continue to rush in and harass the barbarians, so as to prevent the barbarians from getting nourishment from the Liao people.

In short, this is a horse race. Whoever raises supplies faster will run ahead and gain an advantage.

If the barbarians prepare supplies faster than us, then their army will be dispatched, and we will be hard to defend everywhere.

Not only will the land be lost, soldiers and civilians will be killed, but it will also slow down our development.

And if we make preparations first, then we can gather an army, find the opponent's weaknesses, and eat them step by step. "

"It's the same as the former barbarians gradually conquering Shenyang and Liaoyang."

Tao Jie laughed.

There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days.

The passive side, being led away by others, will be negligent sooner or later.

Tang Qing'an nodded.

"So, Mr. Xie is responsible for the overall intelligence of Liaodong and provides strong support for the guerrillas, while Brother Tao takes good care of North Korea."

For Xie Youcheng, Tang Qing'an was very relieved, but Tao Jie didn't know if he could handle things well.

North Korea is now not only Tang Qing'an's rear area, but also an important place that provides a steady stream of supplies.

If North Korea is unstable, it will directly affect Tang Qing'an's plan.

The new leader of North Korea has ascended the throne, and there are already many dissatisfied forces in the country, and now they are searching for supplies to supply Zhenjiang, which shows the situation in the country.

Any sign of a threat to the North Korean leader must be eliminated in advance, and it cannot be allowed to grow.

If it cannot be contained in advance, Zhenjiang will be powerless to suppress the rebel army.
