At least half of the farmland in the world is directly responsible for Yancheng. If you divide it into 50%, what a huge number is this?
With so much food, we can feed more ordinary people who are out of work, allow ordinary people to enter factories, and allow ordinary people to engage in various walks of life.
Sufficient food is the prerequisite for driving farmers away from the land and into other industries. If the yield per mu is low and if there is less food, it will be impossible to achieve all this.
In the same way, if there is more food, there will be enough time to raise pigs and other animals, and gradually there will be more meat. With more meat, there will be more professional soldiers trained by off-duty professional soldiers, and then the number of Chinese people and scholars trained by off-duty professional soldiers will increase step by step.
This is the change Jiang Hua brought to the world.
Therefore, if the other princes use their brains to calculate, half of the land in the world produces 50% of the food every year, which is the wealth of Yan State. How many troops can be supported by so much food?
Ordinary people would only be amazed when they see that 75% of the more than 3 billion people in Yancheng are extraordinary people, saying that this sentence is really amazing.
But when the rulers saw this data, they would only secretly resent: The stupid Jiang Hua took away all Gu's food, so that he could support the billions of alchemists in Yancheng. These should have been Gu's food. , are all alone!
This is the biggest problem. There is no way to hide one's capabilities and bide one's time. Therefore, we might as well take advantage of the opportunity of Emperor Zhou's demise to declare his ambition to the world and start a unified plan.
Jiang Hua nodded slightly, and the meeting ended. Soon after, Jiang Hua met a representative of the conservatives, an old-timer. This time, the two still sat opposite each other, and Zhuge Liang still sat aside and recorded silently.
"Sir, please sit down."
"My lord, the main reason I came here today is to say that although Yancheng is already very powerful, we still need to keep a low profile. As for the fight for hegemony, it will be a day later if possible. It is better to be later rather than sooner."
"Why do you say this? Because now the princes in the world are very afraid of Yancheng."
"At the beginning, the princes felt that Yancheng was the weak spot of the Three Saints, and they did not think that Yancheng could develop quickly. For them, it was a good thing that the Three Saints had one more weakness. So at that time, they For Yancheng, it can barely be said to be well-intentioned."
Although this well-intentioned starting point was not well-intentioned, judging from their actual behavior, they acquiesced in the journals published in Yancheng. Even the legitimate sons of many princes came to Yancheng to participate in the exploration of the World of Datong, and they also acquiesced in Yancheng's goods being able to Sold on their property.
These actions, from a practical point of view, are full of good intentions.
Although, this good intention is essentially to use Yancheng as a weak point to contain the Three Saints.
"And when Baijia was around fifty years old, Yancheng developed unknowingly. There were more than a dozen real people and first generations on the surface. The combined strength of all aspects was more powerful than that of ordinary large vassal states. Not inferior, even stronger than weak."
"Especially after our battle with Qi, many princes have already compared Yancheng with Qi."
"At that time, the princes in the world were more afraid of Yancheng than goodwill. However, due to the situation in the world, Jin State was in civil war, Wu State and Chu State were at war, Qi State and us were already at war, and other countries were far away , out of reach.”
"Due to various factors, when Baijia was fifty years old, they were only afraid of Yancheng. Although they were afraid, they were not too worried. At that time, they just regarded Yancheng as a new powerful country like Wu State. Although it was powerful for a while , but it won’t last long. When the Lord’s generation passes, it will decline rapidly.”
Just like the Song State, there was a Song Xianggong, but even Song Xianggong was not enough in front of the Chu State.
In a large vassal state, a certain generation has a heroic leader and a wise minister. In the end, the monarch and his ministers cooperate, making the country prosperous and comparable to Qi and Qin in a short period of time. Many such things have happened in the past, and everyone has also All have experience.
When encountering a hero, actively defend and wait for changes. When the hero is gone, when the second generation comes to power, and when the third generation comes to power, this country will not be able to survive.
"However, now, the total number of real people and first generations who often appear in Yancheng has exceeded 100. Although many of them are not from Yancheng, the number is really scary."
"A lot of data in Yancheng is now public and cannot be concealed. For example, at least half of the farmland in the world is directly grown by Yancheng, and the remaining half also uses Yancheng's advanced technology and production and living tools. It is completely consistent. It has nothing to do with Yancheng, almost none.”
"For another example, Yancheng has a population of more than 3 billion, and 75% of them are alchemists. There are more than 2 billion extraordinary people, not more than 200,000, but more than 2 billion!"
"There are also more than 200 million warlocks. In theory, with so many warlocks, with a little training, they can become 200 million Xuan-level Taoist soldiers. Countries still only have hundreds of thousands of troops. Chu and Jin are stronger, and they already have millions. , but what about Yancheng? The limit of Yancheng is hundreds of millions!"
"Of course, there are actually not so many. Most alchemists are unwilling to join the army and do not accept the life of the army. They even feel that they are research talents, production and life talents, and are not suitable for soldiers. But even if you choose one out of a hundred, That is more than two million Xuan-level Taoist soldiers. As long as Yancheng is willing, it can pull out millions of Xuan-level Taoist soldiers anytime and anywhere. I can assume this data, and other princes can naturally guess it."
"In addition, Yancheng has a very large number of overseas floating islands. This is difficult to cover up. You can cover up part of it, but as long as you are willing, you can easily find out. The number must be tens of thousands. Tens of thousands of overseas floating islands, at least They all have an area of one county, and many are even as big as one or two counties, which adds up to thousands of counties easily."
"As for the various extraordinary materials and war weapons sold every year, although there are no specific statistics, the general range can be estimated."
Don't underestimate the people of the world. The wise men in the world have already taken off Yancheng's pants!
Even if the wise men cannot calculate the specific strength of Yancheng, based on these rough data, they can easily come up with an answer: Yancheng today is no less powerful than Chu and Jin, and has become a de facto The world's most powerful country has become a strong contender for hegemony.
"Now that things have happened, the princes in the world are very afraid of Yancheng. If Yancheng issues any decree, they have to order their subordinates to study it thoroughly. If Yancheng randomly builds a new department, they have to discuss it for three days and three nights first, and see What does this department do? If you make any high-level personnel changes in Yancheng, they will come up with a bunch of conspiracy theories for you."
"The last one to enjoy this kind of treatment was the State of Jin!"
"Chu State doesn't even enjoy this kind of treatment. Who made Chu State suffer the disadvantage of geographical factors and become a southern barbarian?"
"At this time, it is better to keep a low profile. Although it is no longer useful to hide one's strength and bide one's time, everyone knows how powerful Yancheng is, but it is still recommended to continue to keep a low profile, not to fight for hegemony, not to form alliances, and to continue to develop."
"At least, this can show our attitude. At this time, if someone comes to provoke us, he deserves to be destroyed. And if we, like the Chu State in the past, suddenly become very greedy, it will easily cause Targeted by the coalition of princes."
The Chu State once wanted to be the loyal minister of Emperor Zhou, and gave him face time and again, but was slapped in the face by the princes of the Central Plains again and again. In the end, the Chu State made a mistake: licking a dog cannot be recognized by the goddess.
Then Chu State changed its approach. I stopped licking it and wanted to conquer the Central Plains.
Since then, Chu State has been at odds with the princes of the Central Plains. Occasionally, a hero will appear near Luoyang to ask about the importance of the tripod.
Then, Chu State was targeted by the princes of the Central Plains. Every large-scale action will be targeted.
The same is true for the Jin State. In addition to not being targeted when attacking the Chu State, the Jin State will also be subject to a series of pressures if it wants to completely annex a country at other times.
As a hegemonic country, just be a hegemon and stop thinking about expanding its territory.
"Besides, I feel that Yancheng is developing faster than the world's princes annexing other princes."
"Just like now, as long as Yancheng remains motionless, those small princes in decline and the lords who are about to perish will take the initiative to come to us to seek shelter and family development."
"When this round of war is over, Yancheng will develop even faster after absorbing these people who have subjugated their country."
"So, I still think it's better to keep a low profile."
"If you have to say when is the right time, it will probably be the right time until someone takes the initiative to offend us, or until there are only great princes left in the world."
"I feel that if we can develop, we can continue to develop. If it really can't develop, it won't be too late for us to fight for hegemony."
"Anyway, in the vast open sea, the total area of those floating islands is equivalent to thousands of counties. After calculation, the total area of our Yancheng is not small in today's world."
"We have a population, land, experts, and prospects. There is no need to enter the mud pit of the world for the time being."
"Our strength lies here. As long as we don't provoke them, other princes will not provoke us casually. We are worried about the coalition forces of the princes and are worried about being jointly targeted by the princes, but the princes are also afraid that we will stop being vegetarian and eat meat exclusively. Woolen cloth!"
"So, as long as we continue to develop, no prince will dare to confiscate our goods on a large scale or rob our caravans on a large scale. If any princes did this, we would be happy!"
After a moment, Jiang Hua nodded slightly again, and the senior retreated.
The words of the two people continued to echo in Jiang Hua's mind.
Whether to be more radical or continue to develop, these are two ways.
Which one do you think you should choose?
