Age of mythical princes

Chapter 343

Yan Country, a seaside port somewhere.

Just after the construction of this port was completed, a fleet of ships came here.

This fleet, originally intended to transport goods to the State of Lu, diverted to the State of Yan on the way.

"Dayan has a vast terrain, vast land and abundant resources, and there are countless natural materials and treasures. It's a pity that Dayan has a small population and insufficient strength. It has always been difficult to fully develop it."

How big is Yan Kingdom's territory?

The area on the map is quite large. Theoretically speaking, if the Yan princes in the past dynasties were inspired enough and could continue to expand northward, then the Yan country would definitely be the first-class powerful country in the world.

But it is a pity that there are many nomadic peoples on the grasslands. As for the black land in the Northeast, it has not been developed yet, and that big plain is now the hometown of ghosts and ghosts.Most of the white mountains and black waters are now the territory of demons.

The strength of Yan State is limited, and it has not been developed to this point at all.

This is also one of the reasons why Sun En chose the country of Yan: Judging from the map alone, the future prospects of the country of Yan are still very huge.

Although the state of Yan at the moment is not doing well, it is similar to second-rate countries like Lu and Song, and it is not even considered the strongest among the second-rate countries, but the prospect of Yan is very bright, especially the black soil plain in the distance. It is really a heaven-sent place, but the strength of Yan State is insufficient, and the population is not enough.

But this is not a problem for Sun En.

What Yancheng lacks most is technology!
The most indispensable thing in Yancheng is the production and living magic tools!

With these magic weapons, one alchemist can work as efficiently as a thousand slaves.

It only takes 1 alchemists to manipulate various magical weapons, and it can be as good as 1000 million slaves who pioneered wasteland.

Is 1 alchemists a lot?
This time Sun En brought over 200 million congregants and a population of up to 20 million, of whom [-] were alchemists.

If these 20 alchemists all controlled the magic weapons to cultivate the land and produce, then they would be equivalent to [-] million slaves, working hard and without complaint to farm the land for Prince Yan.One billion acres of land must not be cultivated this year?
These are just the alchemists. If we add the warlocks and the professional farming team hired from Yancheng, by the end of the first year, we will be able to cultivate 20 billion acres of land!

Thinking of this, Sun En pointed to the Great Plain of Black Soil and said, "I am also aware of the current situation in the country of Yan."

"The power of the traditional nobles is too great. Although many nobles want to reform and understand the necessity of reform, they are unwilling to reform themselves and cut off their flesh as soon as they come up. This is actually human nature."

"So, let's not go to Yan country at all, and directly develop the black soil plain. Although some places will be extremely cold, we can use Taoism to solve this problem. Those very few places that are extremely cold can be rented out directly. For those water-type Taoist priests and Taoist priests, this is a treasure land."

"For places that are not so cold, we will just follow the Yancheng method and start reclaiming the land and slaying demons."

"Nowadays, there are 20 Yellow Turban Warriors and [-] Yellow Angels in Taiping Road. It is no problem to open up a county or several counties."

"This is the first year, so let's be on the safe side and reclaim [-] million mu of land to test the water first."

"It's already summer now, by the time the warlocks and Taoist priests come over, it will almost be autumn."

Ordinary people ride on ordinary sea ships at average speeds.That's because a whole sea ship can transport 300 or more people, but there is only one water magician. Of course, this speed cannot be fast.Moreover, this water warlock is not made of iron. It is not as durable as a machine. It can continue to work as long as it drinks oil.

Water warlocks also have to rest, and they have to eat Lingmi and drink Lingquan, and sometimes they have to drink a small jar of Yancheng monkey wine and eat a few Yancheng Chinese cabbage.Even so, the water warlock had to take a good rest every time he worked continuously for a period of time.

But the ship where the warlocks, Taoist priests and their families are on is different. With so many warlocks and Taoist priests, the most important thing they lack is mana. The most important thing they don’t lack is masters who have understood the true meaning of the water element. Each of them has sufficient mana, and they can do it. Use your strength to create miracles and make your speed soar to the sky.

For ordinary sea-going ships, one thousand miles a day and night is the limit.But these sea-going ships that perform miracles vigorously can easily travel thousands of miles in a day and night as long as they are willing, and [-] miles is not a problem.It's just that if the speed is so fast, the sea ship itself will soon fall apart.

But even so, three months is enough for the warlocks and Taoist priests to rush over and start working!
"The Great Black Soil Plain is really too big. If it is fully developed, hundreds of counties will be easy. If it is divided according to the counties in the Central Plains, a thousand counties will have great potential."

"In the first year of this year, we will reclaim 150 million mu of land. Considering Yancheng's excellent seeds and world-leading agricultural technology, as well as the richness of the black land, the yield of 150 shi per mu is not a problem." "This is [-] Yishi grain, here is the north, the grain here has never been rich, the price of grain in Yancheng is one penny per catty, but here, you can sell it for five pennies. Even if it costs three pennies per catty, one stone of grain costs three hundred coins , [-] billion stones of grain, this is [-] trillion yuan.”

"Even if many costs are removed, the investment can be fully recovered in the first year. Starting from the second year, these [-] million acres of land can generate at least [-] trillion yuan in net profit."

Hearing this, Prince Dan's eyes lit up immediately. In the past Yan Kingdom, domestic politics was chaotic, there were many nobles, and there were not many places under the direct control of the monarch. Although Yan Kingdom is large, the annual income of the monarch himself is only two trillion yuan. Up and down, pitifully few.Most of the wealth went into the pockets of the nobles.

Now in the second year, there will be an income of [-] trillion yuan. Thinking about this scene for a while, Prince Dan can't help but feel excited.

Seeing this, Sun En continued to draw the pie: "Master, if you want to reform, your starting point must be very good. There is no shortage of people with lofty ideals in the Yan State. There is no need to say more about the fact that the Yan State must reform. Most nobles agree with this."

"It's just that once your reform, the lord, involves the fundamental interests of the nobles, then the reform will not go on at all, and you will offend these nobles. In this way, it is hard to say whether the lord will be able to successfully succeed to the throne in the future."

"In order to avoid this, my lord, you must understand these nobles. They are not hostile to the Yan Kingdom or reform, and your relationship with them, my lord, doesn't have to be so rigid."

"We're going to start over here and create a new rule."

"These rules are the teachings and regulations of Taiping Dao. Next, I will reform the teachings and regulations of Taiping Dao to make them more in line with the status quo of Yan. And you must communicate with the nobles and explain clearly to them. , we are willing to share the benefits with them. At worst, the Yan Kingdom in the future will adopt two systems. The territories of the nobles will continue as usual, and the places directly under the monarchy will follow the new rules."

"Minimize the nobles' resistance to reform as much as possible. Only in this way can the nobles be willing to sell the common people and savages in their territories."

"For those who are willing to cooperate, we will use money to buy the savages and commoners in their territories. This is actually the best protection for the commoners and savages, because they are more valuable, and if they are valuable, the nobles will not They will kill wantonly. They will not just starve to death or torment them to death.”

"We can use [-] yuan or tens of thousands of yuan each to purchase large-scale savages and common people in their territories from nobles who are willing to cooperate in the long term."

"With the people, it is considered to have a complete foundation."

"This time, a total of 200 million congregants came here. Based on the 200 million people, it is easy to absorb and accommodate 2000 million common people and savages. With 200 million people, it is enough to build [-] counties .”

"These twenty counties are enough for us to develop for ten to twenty years."

"After 20 years, the first batch of common people and savages will officially become the foundation of your lord. At that time, it will be no problem to absorb [-] million common people and savages based on them."

"In this way, after two rounds of reforms, at least four hundred counties can be opened up on the Great Black Soil Plain. With such a foundation and strength, besides the lord, who else can be the Marquis of Yan?"

"So, what the lord has to do at this moment is to show his sincerity to the nobles, to cooperate, and to share the benefits of the Black Soil Plain with the nobles. For the bastards of the nobles, it must be reused. For the people of the Dayan nation, it must also be reused." .As long as they are willing to cooperate, they will all be reused. Those who are capable will be appointed as county magistrates and prefects, and those who are not capable will be given easy and lucrative idle positions."

"As long as you survive the first 20 years, the Yan Kingdom will be yours in the future."

Speaking of this, Sun En squatted on the ground and squeezed the black soil on the ground: "This black soil can be used to grow spiritual rice, and many of them can be used to grow spiritual rice with a little modification."

"In the first year, we made a plan. In the second year, we can take the black land and go to the Yancheng Bond Exchange to issue bonds. Ten trillion yuan will be issued in one go!"

"When the time comes, use these [-] trillion dollars to hire a team from Yancheng, hire agricultural staff from the Shennong Temple, and hire Qigong practitioners from Yancheng to kill demons and reclaim the land for us."

"In this way, Yancheng is bound together by us."

"Moreover, with Yancheng's money and technology, this black soil plain can be fully developed."

"However, this spiritual rice cannot be planted easily. Otherwise, once the news spreads, this treasure land, let alone you, the entire Yan Kingdom, will not be able to keep such wealth!"

Once the whole world knows that spiritual rice can be grown directly on this black soil plain, Qi and Jin might attack Yan first without even saying anything. This is very likely to happen.

With such a big benefit, maybe the civil strife in Jin will automatically be suspended!
