Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

No matter how watery this ratio is, and no matter how much self-sacrifice of middle and low castes are involved in this drop-off rate, the Brahmins and Kshatriyas, the two non-working classes, really occupy the largest part of the population class in Nangui. Such proportions.

In fact, even in later generations, India's natural death rate also includes more than one million deaths each year due to malnutrition and hunger.

Of course, this does not mean that India’s food production is insufficient. In fact, under the influence of the epidemic in 2021, India still exported 21.4 million tons of food. According to the internationally recognized food safety line of 400 kg, only rice, India’s annual output The export volume is enough to feed 50 million people.

Therefore, logically speaking, India's food output is roughly self-sufficient, but it is limited by local organizational strength and disregard for middle and lower castes, resulting in a large number of malnourished and starved people every year.

I really want to say that even in later generations, India is also a major exporter of grain and beef. As for China, it is actually a major importer and consumer of grain and beef. If I remember correctly, these two data should have reached the top of the world.

But the difference is that the reason why China imports beef is that it is really not enough for Chinese people to eat, so it imports everywhere. At present, it actually imports beef from Brazil, Argentina, Australia, the United States, Russia and Canada. As for Japanese beef and Indian beef, China does not have beef at all. import.

As for grain, China is actually the world's third largest grain exporter and the largest importer. However, China imports grain not so much for food safety as for quality. After all, some high-yield grains are really The food is not tasty. Although life-saving is no problem, it has not lived to that level these days, so China imports food all the year round.

In fact, when it comes to food production, China ranks first in the world, the United States ranks second, and India ranks third. Russia, Brazil, and Indonesia are basically the same, and those after that drop by single digits. Compared with these big players, the gap is very big. .

However, relatively speaking, India’s gameplay makes the lives of the middle and lower classes miserable. The number of million-level starvation deaths per year is really outrageous, but due to the natural growth rate caused by the huge population base, this sporadic death caused by malnutrition, Not noticed at all.

Conversely, it is enough to see how outrageous such a large country is, and how nonsense the Ganges is.

Although the Ganges is not considered India these days, Nangui has basically become a well-formed Hinduism. Relying on the Ganges and the social division of labor brought about by the caste system, it has indeed supported a very outrageous full-time population for a feudal society.

What is this called, this is called geographical advantage, three times a year is so capricious.

It's not that Chen Xi is not strong, but that the grain-producing fields in the Central Plains were basically harvested once a year and fallow once every two years before Lei Jitai.

At least it was true from the Han Dynasty to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. From the "Book of Fansheng" "If you can't afford crops at the age of two, you will rest at the age of one" to the original words of "Qi Min Yao Shu" "There is no reason for rice. Only the old is easy to be good", "If you want to get good land, you don't need the old market", which is to say that the land is fallow and the land is changed.

But India is different. There is no need for fallow farming in India. What makes Chen Xi's liver even more painful is that, if you don't count his exploits, China did not have upland rice until around the Song Dynasty. It would take Song Zhenzong's reign to spread it.

In fact, the reason Song Zhenzong dared to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen was the rule of Xianping. During this period, Song Zhenzong widely promoted Champa rice, reclaimed wasteland, promoted the development of various handicrafts and commerce, and foreign trade began to increase wildly. At the time of Yuanzhimeng, Song Zhenzong was able to tell the basis for the randomness of the year-old coins below one million.

Because this guy is not good at foreign wars, he is so cowardly that he can't do it, but he is very strong in development, and the domestic tax revenue has risen to the peak level. However, the basis of these is actually the higher yield of Champa rice, which brings More out-of-production population entered the handicraft industry and commercial trade.

Not mentioning such things as martial arts and territory, but only mentioning the degree of domestic development and prosperity, Song Zhenzong is actually qualified, but the acquiescence among the emperors before Taishan Fengchan is actually a unified prosperous age, expanding the territory, and his own importance is unrivaled His achievements are enough to compile inscriptions and pass down through the ages.

It is precisely because of this acquiescence that Emperor Shihuang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu, Tang Gaozong, and Tang Xuanzong would go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen in their heyday. I didn't go.

But just talking about the achievements of the peak period, there is nothing wrong with Emperor Qinhuang and Hanwu going to Taishan to enshrine Zen. If Xuanzong Tianbao died in about ten years, then Xuanzong would dare to snatch the emperor of the ages, but at least these people in the peak period are indeed qualified.

After Song Zhenzong went up, it was equivalent to making this stink up, so no one went there anymore. Mount Tai's enshrining of Zen stinks, and a minister will be sent to the Taishan Festival afterward.

But in good conscience, only mention the second point, that is, if the country is prosperous and prosperous, Song Zhenzong's period is considered qualified, but the emperors are all compared with the first point. The territory in the history books is more effective than a few words of domestic development and stability. too many.

After all, the former represents force, dignity and backbone, while the latter is just a fortress on the beach. Without the former, a wave will disappear.

What's more, during Song Zhenzong's era, Champa rice was obtained from Southeast Asia. This kind of accidental event is indeed a bit difficult to describe. Generally speaking, it seems that the luck factor is too strong.

But no matter what to say, the emergence of upland rice has really brought the grain industry in the Central Plains into a new realm. When the primary industry rises, there is room for the secondary industry. Going forward, it is not that those dynasties do not want to engage in business and do not want to engage in handicrafts. Workshop, but realistically speaking, there is no way to do it.

In other words, it was done, but the ceiling was too low to develop.

Only in the Song Dynasty, upland rice was introduced, and the south was truly opened up. With the help of rain and climate, fallow farming was no longer needed. Even if it was affected by the monsoon, upland rice could be planted to supplement it during the dry period, which allowed the grain output to increase significantly. Then came the after the development.

It can be said that the upland rice entered the Central Plains to have the basis for more people to be off-duty, and it was also the basis for the Song Dynasty to survive the crazy land annexation for such a long time. Something went wrong and it exploded.

Chen Xi is very clear about the logic behind this, so he promoted the crop of upland rice early, but at present, because the south has not been fully cultivated, and other places in the Central Plains still need to fallow, etc., upland rice in Yuzhou and Xuzhou is more of a supplement, not a crop. is the main crop.

But anyway, the meaning of this thing is extraordinary, it is a very important food crop in subtropical monsoon climate and tropical monsoon climate, and it is also the basis of ancient double cropping. As a result, the three wild rice species found in China are all Not upland rice.

Of course, it is not upland rice that can be improved into upland rice generation after generation through the optimization and cultivation of the day after tomorrow, but it takes time and energy, and there are too many occasional accidents under the ancient non-directional cultivation, so the Central Plains has not been able to grow for a long time. This stuff.

On the other hand, there is wild upland rice directly on the Ganges side. Even in 2000 BC, upland rice and paddy rice were planted on the Indian side because of the relationship between the dry season and the rainy season.

There is nothing Chen Xi can do about this, no matter how much you cheat, the innate factors are there, the climate and environment in India is there, and the evolution of tens of thousands of years will inevitably make some wild rices differentiate into upland rice populations, and these In fact, they are all so-called innate advantages.

It is these messy advantages that have accumulated so that Brahmins and Kshatriyas can quit doing nothing and live only by collecting taxes.

The feudal era, after all, was the era of grain, as long as there was food to eat, many problems could be solved, and the biggest advantage of the Indus-Gangetic plain was the grain output, even if the environment was too favorable, intensive cultivation was not mentioned , Reliable food, still has an annual yield of about eight stones per mu.

This is what Chen Xi is most upset about - I have worked so hard, but finally reached your innate advantage in this aspect, I am so upset!

But think about it the other way around, since I have surpassed you in all other aspects, and this is the only thing I can do, then it is all right for me to seize this innate advantage.

That's right, with this innate advantage, Chen Xi may be able to create a peak full-time population of more than ten points in the feudal society, that is, six people who farm, three people who produce other living materials, and one who does not produce but only consumes. staff.

This is a very nonsensical ratio, but this ratio is based on the three-season planting environment here, and it can basically be achieved with the help of Shangleijitai to increase fat. This is why Chen Xi covets the Ganges River Basin.

Our own farming technology, fertilizer accumulation technology, intensive cultivation, large farms, various supporting human machinery, etc., are enough to ensure that the yield per mu exceeds twelve stones, and with this farming method, the manpower required for one mu of land is actually similar to that of the past. Even if there is a slight increase, in the face of more than 1.5 times the grain output, it is enough to release a lot of farmers.

It can be said that under the current social environment, a place with fewer people farming and more output is very important for the Han Dynasty. After all, relying on natural population growth is naturally hopeless in a short period of time, so it is better to dig deeper to release population is more realistic.

Compared with newly born children, it will take more than ten years to cultivate. These young and strong people who are released to farm are the best population.

Therefore, this place is inevitable for Chen Xi.

This is not simply about the future, but also about the future development. After all, there have been some loopholes in the second five-year plan, so the follow-up five-year plan must continue to be promoted. Chen Xi is really worried about not making some arrangements in advance. Be sure, even if you have a plan beforehand.

But compared to the plan, reshaping the Ganges here, increasing food output, increasing the population out of production, allowing more people to enter workshops, industries, etc. are more suitable for future development.

This is also the reason why Chen Xi must come here in person. If you don’t come here, you will not check the truth. In fact, even if Chen Xi has a lot of things, it is inevitable that there will be a lack when you use them. As far as Chen Xi is concerned, he basically knows it well.

In fact, Chen Xi is very clear that if he really wants to take this road now, the most correct way is actually to vacate the cage and change the birds, emigrate to the real side, transfer and split the population of nearly ten million people in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges River, and then migrate the people from the Central Plains to emigrate In fact, this is the fastest way to use this piece of land to complete the off-duty. It's a pity that this kind of idea only went around in Chen Xi's mind before it was discarded.

Not to mention what kind of organizational power is needed for the transfer and splitting of the nearly ten million people in Nangui who have not been trained for military service, just where they will be relocated and how they will be resettled is a big problem.

Afterwards, immigration to the border is even more of a big problem. Even if this area is determined to be transferred to Zhili by Chang'an in the future, the immigration to the border is not so easy to implement. The question of how to relocate is not mentioned, just ask where to find it. So many people who are willing to migrate is a big problem.

With the heavy snowfall the year before last, the resettlement conditions given by Chen Xi have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the people have clearly realized that living in the houses resettled here is the most correct choice. very difficult.

If he does this at this time, Chen Xi's opponent is actually himself. He has designed the house and various supporting facilities after the integration of the village and the village. The people's happiness and living standards have greatly increased. After Emperor Chen Xi ruled the Iron Fist to relocate, the people lived for two years and realized that the government was really doing it for their own good.

Now if Chen Xi is forced to relocate, there will be people's resentment.

In fact, there were public grievances during the forced relocation before. During the heavy snowfall the year before last, why there were so many mountain people without household registration? In fact, many people were forced to relocate because of Chen Xi, and then they did not trust the government and fled to the mountains.

It's just that the comparison is too obvious, and the government has indeed fulfilled all its promises, not talking to itself, so the public complaints quickly subsided. After all, a one-and-a-half-story brick house is better than a thatched house anyway. .

Coupled with the division of land to build roads, repair water networks, lay pipelines, etc., even if the people are short-sighted, they can tell the good from the bad, just like when Liu Bei was in Jiaozhou back then, when Liu Bei was attacked by those ignorant and old-fashioned people who came to sue. It was about to explode, but the support shown by these clan elders was from the bottom of their hearts.

Obviously, things like people's hearts are actually weighed.

So Chen Xi knew very well that if he wanted to launch the relocation at this time, there must be someone willing to participate, but there would definitely not be five million, but if he relocated by force, the opponent would be his past self.

Wrong, the natural out-of-production population of Nangui is actually 6%. Forget it, the extra 1% before can be regarded as the old coin for Beigui. 9000+ subscriptions in four hours, it’s outrageous. According to this rhythm, I am almost 17 million words, and the latest chapter can be subscribed to tens of thousands in 24 hours. I am also convinced. Maybe many readers don’t understand tens of thousands of subscriptions What concept, I can only say that my book is so long, tens of thousands in 24 hours is really outrageous, everyone who can read the original version, please read the original version, let me have fun for a few days
