Chapter 484 The First Three-Year Plan
"The food problem is a top priority in Pingzhou. Do you have a good plan to help me relieve my worries?"
Deng Yan said that other problems can be postponed, but the food problem is imminent. The newly introduced 16 million people are all poor and white refugees. That is to say, Shangji has to bear the food problem of 16 million people, and it will take at least one year!
This requires at least 100 million shi of grain. If these immigrants are required to open up wasteland and produce as soon as possible, the amount of grain needed will have to be doubled! Once the food supply is not available, instead of playing a role in consolidating Pingzhou, this group of immigrants will become a bomb that can be detonated at any time.
"My lord, this subordinate thinks that we must immediately arrange for people to go to the mainland to buy food." Chen Ang said intently.
"This is what it should mean, but now the big man has just been ravaged by the Yellow Turban Army, and food is not rich everywhere. I am afraid that the purchase of food will not go smoothly! And now that the price of food is soaring, one stone of food even costs about four to five silver. We Large-scale food purchases will definitely exacerbate food shortages, further increase in food prices, and the funds required for food purchases may be unaffordable."
Although Shang Ji has 700 million gold in his hands, it cannot all be used to buy grain. And at this time, grain can no longer be bought as you want, especially Shang Ji's behavior of buying hundreds of millions of shi of grain at once will definitely be resisted and even oppressed by the local princes.
"My lord, there will be a plan in the end, which can solve the crisis of food shortage!"
A loud voice suddenly came from the ranks of generals, Shang Ji looked for it, but saw that it was Ling Cao!
Seeing Ling Cao, Shang Ji roughly understood what he said.
Sure enough, Ling Cao got up and said: "My lord, with your full support, our Pingzhou navy is growing stronger and stronger. While the water warfare is becoming more and more powerful, we also found that the sea is extremely rich in products. Some fish schools can even Spreading for dozens of miles, it is not an exaggeration to call it inexhaustible!"
"Now our Pingzhou Navy has hundreds of large fishing boats, and they catch hundreds of thousands of fish, shrimp and seafood in one trip. If we can continue to expand the scale of fishing boats, even if we can't make up for the food shortage, we can greatly relieve the food pressure!"
"Oh? Is this ocean really as Admiral Ling said? The products are inexhaustible?" Xun Yu, who had been silent all this time, asked with interest.
Xun Yu was born and raised in Yingchuan, he is a standard inland person, and he knows little about the sea, so he asked this question.
"Yes, the abundance of the ocean is not comparable to that of the mainland. However, the waves on the ocean are turbulent, and there are countless sea monsters dominating one side. In many places, even the giant warships of the navy dare not set foot in it easily!"
Before Ling Cao could speak, Shang Ji answered Xun Yu's question for him. After several reports by Ling Cao, Shang Ji has a good understanding of the ocean, knowing the opportunities and risks in the ocean.
"Yu has been taught!" Xun Yu bowed his hands in thanks, and then continued to stay there as the background board. Xun Yu would not easily make a suggestion until he was thoroughly familiar with Pingzhou.
"Degao's plan is good, and it is very suitable for me. Later, Degao will submit an expansion plan for large-scale fishing vessels in the navy, and submit it to Biejia for review. After the review is passed, I will allocate funds to support it!"
"My lord is wise!"
"Don't rush to be wise!" Shang Ji interrupted Ling Cao's flattery with a smile, "The navy's focus should still be on conquest. Fishing is just a stopgap measure. If the time is right, I will set up a special fishing industry." The company is used to manage the fishing of aquatic products. In addition, simply because our power is too weak, I order the navy shipyard to be opened to the public to increase our ocean power as much as possible!"
"And my requirement for the navy is to completely control the Bohai Bay, and also have an absolute advantage in the Korean Sea, maintain a strong strategic deterrent force against Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Lelang, and be able to raid the enemy's coastal cities when necessary, and Can it be possible to safely, quickly, and swiftly transport military expeditions?"
"My lord's order, I will swear to my death to complete it!" Ling Cao stood up with a snap and roared loudly.
"I believe in Degao's ability. If you need my help, just ask. I only need a water dragon that can fight well!"
"The last general thanked the lord!"
He nodded to signal Ling Cao to sit down,
Shang Ji looked at Deng Yan again: "Hongzhu, although there are sailors from Degao fishing to solve the problem, the food problem still cannot be taken lightly. Immediately arrange people to go to the mainland to buy food, and get as much food as possible without causing the local forces to rebound. Acquisition. At the same time, you are responsible for selecting a suitable place, placing a special building Herb Garden, and using the special effects of the Baicao Garden to quickly produce food. Take a multi-pronged approach, and we must eliminate the food shortage in the bud!"
Naturally, it would be a huge waste for Baicao Garden to grow ordinary food, but the current situation is urgent, so we can only make do with it.
The area of the Baicao Garden is quite vast, and it doesn't take that much area to plant medicinal materials. It also coincides with the shortage of food, which can just be used to relieve the urgent need. Moreover, the plants grown in the Baicao Garden are of high quality, and occasionally there will be rare mutants, and long-term consumption can also have some strong and healthy effects. It happened that the grain produced in the Baicao Garden could be used as military rations to supply the main army.
"Young brother understands, after the meeting, immediately arrange for manpower to choose a reasonable location to install Baicao Garden!"
"Now that the food problem has been solved, let's talk about the development of Pingzhou!" With that said, Shang Ji gestured to Deng Yan.
Deng Yan understood, got up and said: "According to the master's instruction, with the help of several colleagues, we have formulated a development plan for Pingzhou for the next three years!"
Deng Yan took a deep breath, unfolded a volume of documents and said loudly: "In the next three years, we expect to invest a total of 1.5 billion gold coins for population migration, road repairs, academy construction, farmland reclamation, medical center construction, martial arts hall construction, and urban construction. Repairs and more.
The expected goal is: the population doubles to more than 130 million; the construction of Pingzhou starts from Gaoxian in the north (the northernmost large city in Xuantu County), Dashi in the south, Lingzhi in the east and Xi'anping in the west. In terms of culture and education, one to two high-level academies will be built in each of the four giant cities, two to four intermediate-level academies will be built in each big city, and primary or intermediate-level academies will be built in small and medium-sized cities depending on the population. China built 10,000 as a private school!
In terms of farmland reclamation, it is estimated that 2 billion mu of wasteland will be reclaimed to reverse the shortage of food. Ensure food security in Pingzhou, and have spare capacity to sell food outside.
City repair: According to our survey, all giant cities and big cities basically have serious defects. In the next three years, huge sums of money will be spent to repair these defects, and in essence, they will become giant cities and big cities in the true sense.
Referring to the construction plan of the academy, build medical centers and martial arts centers in various cities to ensure that the people of Pingzhou can receive medical treatment for their diseases, and at the same time strengthen the people's muscles and bones, and enhance their bravery! "
Wang Yue, who was below, was overjoyed when he heard about the construction of the martial arts hall, and wished he could fly up and hug Deng Yan for a kiss!
The martial arts hall is a plan specially added because of Wang Yue.
As I said before, Wang Yue's attributes are very special. Among his four-dimensional attributes, only force is left, and his occupation is locked as a ranger.
However, Wang Yue is not a simple ranger. He has the title of S-level sword god, and is also a master-level swordsman. He has the right to teach apprentices and pass on skills on a large scale.
And Wang Yue is also a job-changer of the "hidden profession" swordsman. Only after passing Wang Yue's approval can he be transferred to a swordsman!
Compared with the cruel battlefield, the swordsman who kills a man in ten steps without leaving a trace is undoubtedly more in line with the players' taste. The arrival of Wang Yue also made Shang Ji pay attention to the group of "rangers" who had been ignored by him.
As I said before, the number of combat players is less than 10% of the total number of players, and 70% of the combat players can be called rangers! There are only a handful of combat players who really hang out on the battlefield.
That is to say, when Shang Ji is fighting with various princes, ordinary players are fighting for justice in the "river and lake"! For them, whether it is Shang Ji or Yan Huang, even Cao Liu and others are just background characters in the game, and there will be no substantial intersection at all.
To put it bluntly, Shang Ji has already left most players far behind in terms of level. For them, Shangji is not playing a game with them!
However, the ranger group is also a very powerful force, as a prince, naturally cannot ignore it.
Among the rangers, Wang Yue is a character of Taishan Beidou level, similar to the existence of the leader of the martial arts. After the news of Wang Yue joining Shangji was spread, in just one month, dozens of rangers with extraordinary skills came from thousands of miles to Xiangping to join him.
Through Wang Yue and the construction of martial arts gyms, although Shang Ji cannot completely control the ranger group, he can guide them to develop in a direction that is beneficial to him to the greatest extent, at least not becoming a stumbling block for him. It is even possible to establish an organization similar to the "mercenary union" in Western fantasy novels, and use the economy to induce a large number of players and aboriginal rangers to work for themselves.
In addition, the martial arts school has another function. Depending on the size of the martial arts gym, there will be a radiation range. Within this range, the force value of civilians will be subtly increased, the success rate of barracks training will be increased, and the probability of awakening characteristics will be enhanced. At the same time, the possibility of changing to a general will be increased!
Moreover, the establishment of a martial arts school can also improve the cohesion of residents, improve public security, popular sentiment and other attributes, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.
To sum up, the Martial Arts Hall finally became a key project alongside the Academy and the Medical Hall, and was included in the first three-year plan of Pingzhou. As a direct beneficiary, Wang Yue, of course, raised his hands and feet to this plan agree.
"Besides, according to my lord's proposal, we have formulated a 'Three-Year Ten Thousand Villages Plan'." Deng Yan continued to introduce without noticing Wang Yue's change.
"The main content is to spend three years building 10,000 new villages in the counties of Pingzhou. And assist some of the villages with high development potential and good development results to be promoted to cities!
However, limited by funds and population, we will first conduct experiments on the large wilderness in the south of Xiangping and west of Xi'an, and build a thousand villages first.
If the results are good and the scope of the experiment is expanded, new villages will be spread across the vast wilderness between Wushu to Wangping and Pingguo to Dashi along the West Liao Corridor! "
Listening to Deng Yan reading out the ambitious first three-year plan for Pingzhou, everyone felt their mouths dry and their heads dizzy.
Swallowing, Zhao Yungong cupped his hands and said, "Don't ask me, do we have enough funds and manpower to support the whole plan?"
The investment mentioned in the three-year plan is 1.5 billion gold, let alone whether Shangji can raise such a large amount of funds. Even if you can, this little money is not enough! Chidao, Academy, Martial Arts Hall, Medical Hall, Land Reclamation, and City Repair are all big spenders, let alone the Wancun Project.
In the other three years, no matter how much money needs to be invested in the Ten Thousand Villages Plan, simply 10,000 qualified village chiefs and merchants will not be able to get together!
