In the first year of harvesting crops throughout the Ming Dynasty, a total of 170 million tons of grain was harvested.
The area east of the Ural Mountains is 40 million tons, and the area west of it is 50 million tons.
The eight states of Texas, France, England, West Texas, Italy, Boston, Danzhou, and Ruizhou have 80 million tons.
Zhu Cixiang was very satisfied with the harvest in the central and eastern parts of the Northland and asked the court to provide material rewards to large grain growers.
He also praised Dizhou, Dunzhou, Fuzhou and Mozhou for their stable production year after year, and hoped that they could continue their efforts.
As for the eight states to the west, this harvest can only be regarded as unsatisfactory, and there is still a long way to go before the goal of 100 million tons.
Zhu Cixiang hoped that the grain output of the eight Western European states could reach 100 million tons within three years, 120 million tons within five years, and 150 million tons within ten years.
In later generations, the total output of Europe as a whole and the Northland exceeded 350 million tons. This was due to various factors such as mechanization, high-quality seeds, high-end chemical fertilizers, and high-tech irrigation.
Except for mechanization, the Ming Dynasty has no other three aspects. Fortunately, it has another advantage, that is, there are many people and a lot of land.
As more people participate in farming, the uncultivated land will become cultivated land, not to mention that the area of cultivated land now is larger than that of later generations.
For example, in the northern Netherlands, a large amount of land was used to grow flowers in later generations. This is definitely not possible now. As long as the land is not swallowed by the sea, all edible crops should be planted.
In addition to protected forest parks and mountainous areas unsuitable for farming in Texas and Pennsylvania, non-industrial areas and places outside towns have basically been turned into farmland.
After the hidden dangers of war are eliminated, ordinary people can focus on farming. They will plant whatever crops have high yields in the early stage, and plant whatever crops have high prices in the later stage.
For example, there is a large amount of unowned wasteland east of the Ural Mountains. As long as someone is willing to plant it, they can enjoy full tax exemption for the first ten years and only half tax for the next ten years.
Emperor Haojing believed that even if there was only one harvest a year, all the potatoes would be harvested, and if the potatoes were not harvested yet, one acre of land could harvest seventy or eighty kilograms, which was much better than leaving the land uncultivated.
Even if there is no harvest, one acre of land can only harvest 70 kilograms of potatoes. One million acres of land is 70 million kilograms of potatoes, enough to feed 70,000 people.
If these 70 million kilograms of potatoes are not needed as a staple food and can be transported to nearby cities as a non-staple food supply, then more families can have food.
The imperial court's strategy is to restore production at all costs. With products, whether industrial products or agricultural and sideline products, the lives of the people can be made better.
It doesn’t matter whether you farm on the shore, go fishing in the sea, work in a factory, or purchase staple and non-staple food abroad. In short, you have to get real things.
Only when more things circulate in the market can the rationing system be abolished as soon as possible, so that the people can have enough to eat and drink, and the Ming Empire can be freed from the hidden worry of famine.
Zhu Cixi hoped that ten years after the move was completed, the total grain output of the new homeland could reach 250 million tons, thereby completely solving the staple food shortage problem.
Judging from the first year's harvest, with so much food, we will definitely not go hungry.
If starving to death does occur in a local area, it is a matter of local officials neglecting their duties.
Catch those who deserve to be caught, kill those who deserve to be killed, and send those who deserve to be mined, then we cannot let him live comfortably where he is.
After a big move, both the court's money and Zhu Cixiang's money have been almost spent.
Most of Zhu Cihong's money was lent to the Ministry of Accounts for emergencies. The total amount was as high as 5 billion silver coins. It is estimated that it will take a hundred years to repay...
If it were another emperor, don't have money in his pocket. Even if he had money, like Uncle Wanli, he would definitely not lend it to the court.
Zhu Cihong no longer had such worries. Maybe the Ming Dynasty had died, but he could still survive!
As long as you are good at surviving, your life can be extended as much as possible.
What makes Zhu Cixing gratified is that under his own encouragement, by the end of the next three years, the grain output of the Ming Dynasty had reached 220 million tons.
According to the household registration of the Ministry of Household Affairs, all localities will consolidate for another two years or so and maintain stable production. In the absence of major disasters, there will be no need to worry about famine.
At this time, the territory managed by Zhu Xiangzhen, the second son of the emperor, was able to export grain to the Ming Dynasty due to successive bumper harvests. The situation in Mozhou was also similar, especially in South America.
The Inca Empire has always been the number one importer of Daming beef, as well as mutton, pork, wheat, beans, seafood, fruits, and fur products.
The eldest son Zhu Xiangtang's Australia is not so optimistic, but it can definitely feed all the new immigrants. People who live along the coast can eat seafood every now and then.
The three main importers of crops and meat within the Ming Empire were actually Fujian, North America, and Southeast Asia. France was the number one external importer, and the Inca and the Netherlands ranked second and third.
After waiting eagerly for several years, everyone finally waited until the time came when the Ming Empire asked for help from them. Of course, they gave each other everything they had in their hands.
Originally, some countries planned to wait for the price and try to sell it at a good price. Unexpectedly, the business was soon disrupted by a third party.
This third party was the Inca Empire, which had a very good official relationship with the Ming Empire, and the two emperors had an even better personal relationship.
Poirot, like the farmers below, hopes to establish a long-term and stable supply relationship with the Ming Empire.
For example, all fruit farmers, I have a bumper harvest this year, you can buy them all.
I won't have a good harvest next year, but you don't want it. Wouldn't all the fruits rot in the ground?
How can it be so easy to find overseas buyers first?
Maybe if you delay just a little longer, the fruit will begin to rot on a large scale...
For all fresh food, supply contracts must be signed one year, or even several years in advance.
The Ming Empire did the best in this regard. It always kept its promise, never interrupted, and did not cause Inca farmers to suffer losses.
Do you think this is what it should be?
That would be a big mistake!
No matter how good the relationship is, it still needs benefits to maintain it.
This is a big favor, and you will have to pay it back when the time comes!
When Zhu Cihong asks for something from Poirot, the latter will definitely not be able to shirk it.
We will still supply at market prices and will not take the opportunity to raise prices, otherwise it will make our allies too sad.
As long as the Inca supply prices remained stable, it would be difficult for other countries to negotiate price increases with the Ming Empire.
Although France was the number one importer of the Ming Empire, it was also in the recovery period after moving.
The border between the two countries is still very long, so forget about the conflicts. When it comes to the import of bulk commodities, Louis XIV will not easily make stupid mistakes.
Once you annoy your old friend, "Kucha" go to Chen Bing Grassland and conduct a large-scale exercise...
France will have to respond by then, at least holding a defensive exercise.
The extra money earned from price increases will eventually fill military holes, which is really a waste of money.
Since both Inca and France have stated that they will not increase prices significantly, they will only make slight adjustments.
In this case, if other countries want to raise prices significantly, they will immediately appear very abrupt and offend the world hegemon.
Zhu Cixiang asked the navy, army and air force to select several places and conduct large-scale exercises in order to show off their muscles.
It means to tell those friends who are active in thinking that Ming Dynasty was the world hegemon before he moved, and he will still be the world hegemon after he moved.
Some people think that Ming Dynasty changed places and gave up the title of world hegemon.
Then he can jump out and challenge him to see whether his teeth will be knocked out first or his shit will be beaten first!
The Ming Empire itself had powerful military force, but it still purchased goods at market prices.
Moreover, there is no IOU, and at worst it is a mutually beneficial barter trade. Can this be considered bullying?
If they really bullied Rao, the Swiss would not be cultivating the fertile soil under the volcano in Kamchatka Peninsula, and they would have been stuffed into the crater long ago...
As long as there is still a chance of improvement, Emperor Haojing will not make things happen.
Those family members who participated in the rebellion back then can now find a piece of land in the Northland to become farmers after completing ten years of mining.
If you still have a rebellious attitude, put it into practice, and are captured alive afterwards, then prepare to serve in the mines for thirty years.
It is basically possible that he will be exhausted to death. Even if it is not clear in the announcement, everyone can guess what the end will be.
Therefore, those who have completed their service in the mines can either find a piece of land to spend the rest of their lives, or they can still earn wages as miners.
You can't pick one out of a hundred people who is still thinking about committing suicide.
The most important thing is that you can first incite others to commit suicide, and then report it yourself to receive the reward...
The reporting reward system in the era of Emperor Haojing of the Ming Dynasty was even more powerful than the favor order of the Han Dynasty.
It ranges from forming gangs to rebel, to tax evasion, everything is included.
As long as the situation is true, the whistleblower can receive corresponding rewards.
Especially after the birth of tape recorders and video recorders, the evidence became more conclusive.
Maybe someone with ulterior motives can manipulate the audio or video recording, but if you really do something bad, most of the time it will be revealed.
Factory security spies are very patient. Before the target takes action, he is considered a suspect at best.
Once you start taking action, you are considered a rebel.
This is a fundamental difference, and the corresponding meritorious services and reward levels are also different.
There is also a group of rebels who don't need the factory guards to care about, and no one needs to go over and monitor them.
Those are the things that were airdropped to the Zeitland Islands by transport planes, and the purpose is to let them fend for themselves!
Approximately one-third of the Severnaya Zemlya lies north of the 80th parallel, and two-thirds lies south.
Anyone who thinks that place is too good can take a transport plane there for free.
You can do whatever you want there, kill as many polar bears as you like!
There weren't even potatoes to eat there, just moss and animal fat...
The cabinet believes that based on the agricultural harvest conditions in the past three years, it will take less than thirty years for the production situation in all aspects of Ming Dynasty to reach the level before the move.
Zhu Cixiang thought so too, but he had to wait and see again. If he kept seeing that he was getting better and better after moving, and something suddenly happened, wouldn't he be happy for nothing?
It is not too late to wait until the first five years are over before looking forward to the future. Being happy too early may lead to disappointment too early. The current situation is equivalent to just catching a fish.
If you catch such a palm-sized fish right away, your work will be in vain, and you will only drink fish soup when you go back.
Except for automobiles, machine tools, tractors, harvesters and construction machinery, no surge in demand was seen for other products.
The main reason is that before the move, Daming's local industrial production capacity was too large, and the inventory alone could be used for one or two years.
It doesn’t matter that most of France has been turned into industrial zones. The four major areas of Northeast, Central North, Southeast and Central South of Ming Dynasty have all been turned into industrial zones, with production capacity that can almost meet the demand of most of the world.
Even in the southwest region, its light industry is very developed. For example, the three major categories of liquor, seasonings, and medicines are at the forefront of all regions in the Ming Dynasty, and cigarettes have always ranked first.
In the category of seasonings, Lao Dama hot sauce ranks first in the hot sauce category and has become Guizhou's flagship product. It is exported to all over the world, and demand exceeds supply.
The rich forest resources in the Northeast have led to an extremely developed papermaking industry. After moving, the industry was transferred to Khabarovsk, Chita, Hailanpao and other places opposite, which can be regarded as business counterparts.
You can find a small-scale factory somewhere north of Sixty Degrees North. Nine times out of ten, it's either a paper mill or a lumber mill.
If it is a mine or metallurgical plant, it can be identified at a glance from its appearance, and there are many such things in the North.
In order to provide the young and middle-aged people in Xinyimin with full employment opportunities, large-scale mines in the north, as long as the climate is not too bad, have basically started mining.
The benefits provided by the mining area are basically the same as those on the grassland. Food and accommodation are included. As long as you receive training, you can earn at least twenty silver coins per month after working. It is also fully tax-free and you can enjoy one month of paid leave during the Spring Festival every year.
This condition is very attractive, especially for young people who have little knowledge or skills. As long as they work hard and bear no complaints, a monthly salary of thirty or forty silver coins is not a problem.
As a free miner, unlike a slave miner, it is impossible to use a shovel to mine in the entire process, which will affect the income of the entire mine. They usually drive mining trucks or other construction machinery.
Most of the time shovels are actually used in the dumping process. Once any residue is found in the carriage, the miners have to clean it up with shovels.
In addition to excavation and transportation, early ore screening, mid-term smelting, late forging, and maintenance and repair of construction machinery all require a large number of workers.
With the money in their pockets, the miners can not only support their families, but also radiate food and entertainment in the surrounding areas. A one-stop industrial chain has long been formed around the mines in various places.
It is no exaggeration to say that a mine can feed the population of a city, and Ma'anshan is the best example.
As for the Shenmu-Dongsheng Super Coalfield, it cannot be described as feeding a city. It is enough to feed people in half a state.
Now owned by France, Louis XIV could send anyone who disobeyed to mine.
You can make money in the summer and keep yourself warm in the winter. It can be said that you kill two birds with one stone!
Back then, Handsome Pot Dad had realized the benefits of mining earlier, and he would no longer be rogue.
In addition to farming, papermaking, sheet metal, mining, metallurgy, automobiles, aircraft, machinery, power generation, and media publishing are the nine pillar industries in the area east of the Ural Mountains.
If we had to round up the numbers, the last one to come in would definitely be real estate!
It does look rather shabby, but it can only be like this in the early stage, which is equivalent to eating potatoes during the industrialization period...
