Chapter 971 Jinshu
"My lord, the latest situation on the Korean Peninsula has been compiled, please take a look at it, my lord!"
Chen Ang strolled over and presented a thick material.
Shang Ji took it but didn't open it. He put his backhand aside and looked at Chen Ang with admiration in his eyes.
As one of the few high-end government talents in the Pingzhou Army, Chen Ang's growth rate surprised even Shang Ji.
As early as the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he was just a newly promoted super-class scribe, but after returning from the Shang Ji Kingdom War, he had already been promoted to a top scribe with his own strength, becoming one of the very few non-historical figures who relied on his own strength to rank among the top scribes .
And after Shang Ji gave the S-level experience scroll, he comprehended the S-level exclusive title [Doctor of the Country] smoothly. According to unwritten rules, he can also be called Dr. Chen in the future.
Today's Chen Ang has come from behind and has become the third person in the government affairs system after Deng Yan and Xun Yu, and he is also one of the very few all-round talents who can be alone!
Although Yan Xieyangyi and other veterans are also top S-level figures, the former is specialized in education, while the latter is specialized in wealth. His weaknesses in other areas are too obvious. It is more than enough to preside over nationwide education and taxation, but he obviously lacks the ability to coordinate the overall situation .
After the Battle of Pyongyang City, the political officials in Pingzhou began to get busy. Xun Yu was in charge of the migration of refugees, Deng Yan was in charge of coordinating the overall situation, and Chen Ang was responsible for appeasing the hearts of the people and stabilizing the Korean peninsula.
It was the first time he independently presided over the work and encountered such a hard-core task. Chen Ang's pressure can be imagined, but he did not disappoint Shang Ji. He devoted himself to work with 120% enthusiasm to appease the victims, restore order, organize production, The establishment of a new management system has been done in an orderly manner, and the results have been remarkable in a few months, and today is the day to report the final results.
By the way, by the way, it is now the fifth month since the Battle of Pyongyang City.
"I don't want to watch this general either, you pick the main one and tell me about it!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Chen Ang was not stage-frightened either, so he sorted out his thoughts and said loudly: "According to our latest statistics, the current population of the Korean Peninsula is 762.98 million, of which 24 million are people waiting to be relocated. 220 million people are preparing to relocate.
According to the master's arrangement, all the people to be relocated will be relocated to Pingzhou in the next two months, and the people who are going to be relocated will be gradually relocated in the next two years. The Korean Peninsula will maintain a total population of about 500 million. "
After listening to Chen Ang's introduction, Shang Ji felt regretful. According to intelligence, before the start of the war, the total population of North Korea was about a billion or so. Now, even if the more than 40 million people who have migrated to Pingzhou are counted, the total population of North Korea is only 800 million. A total of 200 million people died in this war. Killed!
The demise of 200 million people made Pingzhou, which is desperate for population, feel sorry for it, and it also reflects the horror of the war on the population from the side!
The number of people who died directly from the war was not many, and the famine, plague, and bandits brought about by the war were the most important reasons for the population decline. If it weren't for Pingzhou's full support for the suppression, the death toll would definitely be more than that!
According to historical records at the end of the Han Dynasty, after Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, there was a severe drought, and several areas with very high population densities, such as Nanyang and Huainan, were almost wiped out. !
The topic returned to the Korean Peninsula. According to the calculations of a group of people led by Chen Ang, the most suitable population for the Korean Peninsula was given—500 million!
This is the best number of people on the Korean Peninsula, which was seriously overloaded before! Shang Ji arranged the immigration plan based on this data, and spent two years moving the excess population to Pingzhou to balance the population density of the two places.
Chen Ang's report continued: "Originally, there were two king-level cities in the Korean Peninsula, eight giant cities, 183 large cities, more than 1,600 small and medium-sized cities, and 120,000 villages and towns at all levels. Because Due to the war, there are currently two pseudo-king-level cities, eight giant cities, 169 large cities, and more than 1,400 small and medium-sized cities.
There are more than 90,000 villages and towns.
Moreover, most of the above-mentioned cities were damaged to varying degrees, among which Xianning City and Pyongyang City were the most serious.
According to survey statistics, it is preliminarily estimated that the Korean Peninsula can provide about 760 million gold in taxes a year. However, due to the war, it is difficult to collect more than 100 million gold in taxes this year. Instead, a large amount of materials need to be allocated from Pingzhou to subsidize the Korean Peninsula.
Agriculture on the Korean peninsula is not well developed, but self-sufficiency in food has been guaranteed after the population has been greatly reduced. His subordinates have sent a message to Xiangping before, asking Mr. Deng to send farm children to guide the development of agriculture on the Korean peninsula. Presumably a year later, North Korea The peninsula will have surplus grain to supply other areas. "
"In addition, the Kingdom of Korea has merits in culture, education, military affairs, smelting, medicine, art, casting, architecture, animal husbandry, shipping, textiles, fishery, etc. We can extract the essence as appropriate to further accelerate the development of Pingzhou."
"Okay, Erzhan (Chen Ang's word) can handle these things yourself, and you don't have to report everything to the general."
Shangji is not blindly arrogant, will not think that other countries and regions are rubbish, and will not refuse to absorb and learn from the advantages of other countries and regions. No matter how you say it, Lee's North Korea is also a country. There must be many places that are better than Pingzhou. Learning from others' strengths is the attitude that a conqueror should have.
As far as Shang Ji knows, North Korea's pharmaceutical, textile, mining, papermaking and other industries have developed quite well. In the field of medicine, if Liu's company hadn't opened up, Pingzhou would definitely not be as good as North Korea, and textile and papermaking would have left Pingzhou behind. for several streets.
The papermaking in Fenghuo is not limited to writing paper. The transcription and engraving of various advanced cheats, the design of architectural drawings, the production of spells, etc. all require special special paper. In the past, the yellow paper used to make talismans in Pingzhou had to be purchased from other places. With the supplement of the North Korean paper industry, it can be regarded as getting rid of the embarrassing situation of being controlled by others.
There are many similar examples. Although the development of Pingzhou is changing with each passing day, it was a bitterly cold place on the frontier after all, with a serious lack of foundation and uneven development in all aspects. The annexation of the Korean Peninsula can be regarded as filling these gaps.
"My lord, according to your instructions, after discussing with my colleagues, I have initially decided to divide the Korean peninsula into one state and eight counties. Hamgyong County, Jiangyuan County, Ning'an County, as for the name of the state, please let the lord decide!"
Shang Ji thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, these names are not good."
After a pause, Shang Ji continued: "In this way, the names of the eight counties will be changed to Huaizhong, Huaiyi, Jianning, Jianchang, Fengping, Feng'an, Dingwei, and Dingwu in turn, and try to achieve de-Koreanization in the names. .”
"As for the combined name of the eight counties, why not call it Chenzhou for now!"
