Regardless of how low this ratio is, or how much self-sacrifice of the middle and lower castes is involved in this unemployment rate, the two non-working classes of Brahmins and Kshatriyas have truly occupied the population of Nangui.
Such a ratio.
In fact, even in later generations, India's natural mortality rate includes more than one million deaths every year due to malnutrition and starvation.
Of course, this does not mean that India’s grain production is insufficient. In fact, under the influence of the epidemic, India still exported 21.4 million tons of grain in 2021. Calculated according to the internationally recognized food safety line of 400 kilograms, only rice, India’s annual
Exports are enough to feed 50 million people.
Therefore, logically speaking, India's food output is generally sufficient for self-sufficiency, but it is limited by local organizational capabilities and indifference to middle and lower castes, resulting in a large number of malnutrition and starvation deaths every year.
To be honest, even in later generations, India was still 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 ranked first in the world.
But the difference is that the reason why China imports beef is that there is really not enough food for the Chinese people, so it imports it everywhere. Currently, it imports beef from Brazil, Argentina, Australia, the United States, Russia and Canada. As for Japanese beef and Indian beef, China does not import it at all.
import.
As for grain, China is actually the third largest grain exporter and the largest importer in the world. However, China imports grain not so much for food security but for quality. After all, certain grains with high yields are really
The food is not delicious. Although there is no problem in preserving life, it is not that good these days, so China imports food all year round.
In fact, when it comes to grain production, China is first in the world, the United States is second, India is third, Russia, Brazil, and Indonesia are basically the same, and the ones after that have dropped by single digits. Compared with these big guys, the gap is very big.
.
However, relatively speaking, India's gameplay makes the lives of the middle and lower classes miserable. The number of millions of people starving to death every year is really outrageous. However, due to the natural growth rate caused by the huge population base, deaths caused by sporadic malnutrition,
Not noticed at all.
On the other hand, it also shows how outrageous such a large country is, and how nonsense the Ganges River is.
Although the Ganges River is not yet India these days, Nangui is basically a fully formed Hindu state. Relying on the social division of labor brought about by the Ganges River and the caste system, it has indeed supported an out-of-work population that is outrageous for a feudal society.
What is this called? This is called geographical advantage. It is so arbitrary to have three crops a year.
It's not that Chen Xi is not strong, but that the grain-producing land in that part of the Central Plains was harvested once a year and left fallow once every two years before there was Leijitai.
At least this was true from the Han Dynasty to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, from the "Book of Pan Sheng" "If you can't have a crop at the age of two, then stop it at the age of one" to the original words of "Qi Min Yao Shu" "There is no destiny for rice.
"Only the change of years is good", "If you want to get good land, you don't need old ruins", it refers to fallow farming and changing the land.
But it is different here in India. There is no need for fallow farming in India. What makes Chen Xi even more worried is that, if his cheating is not included, China did not have upland rice until around the Song Dynasty. It would take until the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty to really popularize it.
In fact, the reason why Song Zhenzong dared to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen was the rule of Xianping. During this period, Song Zhenzong extensively promoted Champa rice, reclaimed wasteland, promoted the development of various handicrafts and commerce, and foreign trade began to increase crazily. This is also the reason why Song Zhenzong
During the Yuan Alliance, Song Zhenzong could tell the basics of anything less than one million years old.
Because this guy is not good at engaging in foreign wars and is too cowardly to take action, but he is very strong in development, and the domestic tax revenue has reached a peak level. However, the basis of these is actually the higher yield per mu of Champa rice, which brings
More unemployed people have entered the handicraft industry and commercial trade.
Not mentioning things like martial arts and territory, but only the level of domestic development and prosperity, Song Zhenzong is actually qualified. However, before Taishan was enshrined, the emperor's acquiescence was actually to unify the country in the prosperous times, expand the territory, and be so important that it could not be rivaled.
His achievements are enough to compile inscriptions that will be passed down through the ages.
It is precisely because of this acquiescence that the First Emperor, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty would go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen in their heydays. The unlucky Li Er had been preparing for a long time, but as a result, the comet hit the sun and he lay flat on the ground without any hesitation by the Chaotang.
Just didn’t go.
But just talking about the achievements in his peak period, there is nothing wrong with Emperor Qin and Han Wu going to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen. Even if Guangwu has shortcomings, his destiny is there. There is nothing to say. Li Zhi can definitely take the largest territory in his peak period.
If Xuanzong's Tianbao dies in about ten years, then Xuanzong dares to snatch the emperor for eternity, but at least these people in their peak period are indeed qualified.
After Song Zhenzong went up, it was equivalent to making this a stink, so no one went there anymore. It was really rubbish. It was really embarrassing to go and compare with this kind of rubbish that could not even unify the world, so from then on
The Zen ceremony at Mount Tai was stinky, so a minister was sent to attend the Mount Tai ceremony afterwards.
However, in good conscience, if I only mention the second point, that is, if the country is prosperous and prosperous, the Song Zhenzong period is considered qualified. However, the emperors only compare the first point. The territory in the history books is more effective than a few sentences about 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, it will be gone when a wave comes.
What's more, the acquisition of Champa rice from Southeast Asia during the Song Zhenzong era is indeed a bit difficult to describe. Generally speaking, it feels like the luck factor is too strong.
No matter how you say it, the emergence of upland rice has really brought the grain industry of the Central Plains to a new level. Only when the primary industry rises can there be room for the secondary industry. Going forward, it is not that those dynasties do not want to engage in business or 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 really developed. With rain and climate, there was no need to leave crops fallow. Even if affected by the monsoon, upland rice could be grown during drought periods to supplement food production. This allowed grain production to increase significantly, and then there was
subsequent development.
It can be said that the entry of upland rice into the Central Plains provided the basis for more people to get out of production. This was also the basis for the Song Dynasty to survive for such a long time amid the crazy land annexation. Otherwise, there would be no need to wait for the Liao, Jin, and Mongolia to come over.
Something went wrong and it blew itself up.
Chen Xi knew the logic of this very well, so he promoted upland rice crops early. However, because the south has not yet been fully cultivated, other parts of the Central Plains still need to be left fallow, etc. Upland rice is more of a supplement in Yuzhou and Xuzhou.
is the main crop.
But in any case, the significance of this thing is extraordinary. It is a very important food crop in subtropical monsoon climate and tropical monsoon climate. It is also the basis of double-season planting in ancient times. As a result, the three wild rice species discovered in China are all
It's not upland rice.
Of course, it is not just upland rice that can be improved into upland rice from generation to generation by relying on acquired optimization and cultivation. However, this requires time and energy, and there are too many accidents caused by undirected cultivation in ancient times. Therefore, the Central Plains did not have a
This thing.
On the other hand, there is wild upland rice directly on the Ganges River. Even in the second millennium BC, upland rice and rice were planted in India because of the relationship between the dry season and the rainy season.
Chen Xi has no way to do this. No matter how much you cheat, the innate factors are there. The climate and environment in India are there. Tens of thousands of years of evolution will inevitably cause some wild rice to differentiate into upland rice populations, and these
In fact, they are all so-called innate advantages.
It is the accumulation of these messy advantages that allows Brahmins and Kshatriyas to do nothing and only collect taxes to survive.
The feudal era was, after all, an era of food. As long as there was food to eat, many problems could be solved. To put it bluntly, the greatest advantage of the Indus-Gangetic Plain was food output, even if the environment was too favorable and intensive farming was not mentioned.
, you can eat every day, and still have an output of about eight shi per mu a year.
This is what makes Chen Xi most unhappy - I worked so hard and finally achieved your innate advantage in this aspect. It's so unpleasant!
But think about it on the other hand, since I surpass you in all other aspects, and there is nothing I can do about it, then it’s okay for me to seize this innate advantage.
Yes, by seizing this innate advantage, Chen Xi may be able to create a peak of ten or more out-of-work population in feudal society, that is, six people farming, raising three people who make other living supplies, and one person who does not produce but only consumes
of personnel.
This is a very ridiculous ratio, but this ratio is basically achievable based on the three-season planting environment here, and with the addition of fertilizers at Leijitai. This is the reason why Chen Xi covets the Ganges River Basin.
Our own farming technology, fertilizer accumulation technology, intensive farming, large farms, various supporting human machinery, etc. are enough to ensure an output of more than twelve stones per mu. And with this farming method, the manpower required for one acre of land is actually similar to what it used to be.
Even if there is a slight increase, facing a grain output of more than 1.5 times, it will be enough to release a lot of farmers.
It can be said that in the current social environment, a place with fewer people farming and more output is very important to the Han Dynasty. After all, relying on natural population growth will naturally be hopeless in a short time, so it is better to dig deeper to release
The population is more realistic.
Compared with children who are just born and take more than ten years to cultivate, these young people who are released and can farm are the best population.
Therefore, this place is inevitable for Chen Xi.
This is no longer simply about the future, but also about the next development. After all, there have been some loopholes in the second five-year plan, so the subsequent five-year plan must continue to be promoted. Chen Xi is really upset if some arrangements are not made in advance.
Be practical, even if you have a plan beforehand.
However, compared to the plan, reshaping the Ganges here, increasing food output, increasing the out-of-work population, and 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 he doesn't come here and check on the spot, in fact, even if Chen Xi knows a lot of things, he will inevitably be deficient in the application.
As far as Chen Xi is concerned, he basically knows it well.
In fact, Chen Xi knows very well that if he really wants to take this path at present, the most correct way is to vacate the cage for birds, immigrate to the border areas, transfer and split the nearly 10 million people in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges, and then move the people from the plains to immigrate
Really, this is the fastest way to make use of this land and complete the job. Unfortunately, this idea only circulated in Chen Xi's mind for a while before throwing it away.
Not to mention what kind of organizational strength is needed to move and split the nearly 10 million people in Nangui who have not been trained for military service. Just talking about where to move and how to resettle them is a big problem.
After that, immigration to the border area became a big problem. Even if this area has been determined to be directly controlled by Chang'an in the future, immigration to the border area is not so easy to implement. The question of how to move is not mentioned. I just ask where to find it.
So many people willing to migrate is a big problem.
With the heavy snowfall the year before last, the resettlement conditions given by Chen Xi have been thoroughly rooted in the hearts of the people. People have clearly understood that living in the resettled houses here is the most correct choice. In this case, it is best to move
Very difficult.
If he does this at this time, Chen Xi's opponent is actually himself. He has perfectly designed the houses and various supporting facilities after the village merger. The people's happiness and living standards have increased significantly. It is no longer the same as when they lived in thatched huts a few years ago.
After Chen Xi's imperial iron fist forced relocation, the people lived there for two years and realized that the government was actually doing their best.
If Chen Xi were to forcefully relocate people now, there would definitely be public dissatisfaction.
In fact, there were public complaints during the previous forced evictions. During the heavy snowfall the year before last, why were there so many mountain people without household registration? In fact, many people fled to the mountainous areas because of Chen Xi's forced evictions and did not trust the government.
But because the contrast was too obvious, and the government had indeed fulfilled all its promises and was not just talking about itself, the public complaints quickly subsided. After all, a one-and-a-half-story brick house is better than a thatched house anyway.
.
In addition, dividing fields and building roads, building water networks, laying pipelines, etc., even if the people are short-sighted, they can still distinguish good from bad. Just like when Liu Bei was in Jiaozhou, he was attacked by those ignorant and old-fashioned people who came to accuse him.
It almost exploded, but the support shown by these clan elders came from the bottom of their hearts.
Obviously, things like the human heart are actually weighed.
Therefore, Chen Xi knew very well that if he wanted to launch a relocation at this time, there would definitely be people willing to participate, but there would definitely not be 5 million. For forced relocation, the opponent would be his past self.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Wrong writing. The natural unemployed population of Nangui is actually 6%. Forget it, the extra 1% before is regarded as the annual coins for Beigui. As a digression, after Dian Niang started to officially prevent theft of this book yesterday, twenty
The number of subscriptions reached 9,000+ in four hours, which is outrageous. According to this pace, I have almost 1,700 words, and the latest chapter has tens of thousands of subscriptions within 24 hours. I am also convinced. Maybe many readers do not understand that the number of subscriptions is tens of thousands.
What's the concept? I can only say that for such a long book, tens of thousands of dollars in 24 hours is really outrageous. If you can read the original version, please read the original version. It will make me happy for a few days.
