Yang Fan is not talking nonsense. The food produced in Heilongjiang Province in modern times can feed 411 million people, which is close to one-third of the country. The Ming Dynasty now has only 200 million people. It is more than enough to feed all the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, development takes time. From now on, large-scale and continuous immigration will begin. When the peasant war breaks out and the world is in chaos, more people will be willing to be immigrated.
The population of the Ming Dynasty dropped from over 200 million at the end of the Ming Dynasty to 19 million in the 17th year of Kangxi's reign. A large number of people were lost in vain. Rather than letting them die in vain, it is better to immigrate to all places in the world that are suitable for farming.
On the one hand, they should be protected, and on the other hand, the territory should be expanded, so that the Han people, not the Angsalians, would carve up the world.
As for the Europeans, they can just stay in Europe honestly. Yang Fan's navy will prohibit any Europeans from leaving Europe, and those who have immigrated to the colonies will have to be sent back. Let them go back to where they came from and stay honestly.
Yang Fan's navy will sink all ships trying to leave Europe. The same is true in other areas. Maritime and intercontinental trade will be monopolized by the Yang family. Only offshore and inland shipping can be navigated freely.
During the Chongzhen Dynasty, the global population was less than 600 million, and the Ming Dynasty's population accounted for 34% of the world's population.
What is the situation in Europe? The Thirty Years War in Europe has been going on for ten years.
Before the war, there were about 25 million people in the Holy Roman Empire, 16 million in France, about 12 million in Spain, 7.4 million in the Portuguese Empire, less than 9 million in the United Kingdom, more than 12 million in Poland, 2-3 million in the Netherlands, and 6 million in Sweden.
Below people.
In other areas, there are about 12.6 million people in Tsarist Russia. 145 million people in the Mughal Empire, 24 million people in the Ottoman Empire, 29 million people in Japan, and about 150 million people in Africa. There are no less than 60 million Indians. There are also some other messy ones.
The country does not keep statistics.
"Do you plan to immigrate the Han people to the Northeast? But this is the territory of the Jurchens. They are all ferocious savages. The Han people are weak and are no match for them." Xiao Niangpi said with some worry.
"So, we need to use war to bring them under our control. Then we will take their entire nation out of the Northeast and conquer the world. We will place them in our colonies everywhere and be responsible for taking care of the indigenous people for us. The same goes for the Mongols.
, I will move them out of the Eurasian steppe belt and place them on the Eastern European plains. The natural conditions there are better than those on the steppe. The land is more fertile. They will live a better life. Their future task is to keep an eye on the Europeans."
Lin Yueru said: "Then the vacant land will be filled with Han immigrants."
"Yes. It didn't work before because there was no technology. Crops couldn't be grown in those places, and it was cold and dry these years. Now we have high-yielding seeds with a short growth cycle, cold and drought resistance. We also have bird droppings as fertilizer. We can also use steam engines.
Pumping water, using steam engines to plow the land and harvest. Therefore, these places can support Han farmers."
"Even if the local minority groups are not relocated, as long as the Han people can develop agriculture, in less than fifty years, with the reproductive capacity of the Han people, the Han population will overwhelm these minority groups. Coupled with the intermarriage between the two parties, in a hundred years, everything will be
Han people. In fact, we only need to take away those who can fight and expand the territory. The rest will live together with the Han people under our system, and they will be assimilated soon. Just like Toronto now
The same thing happened."
Xiao Niangpi nodded and said: "Yes, now the next generation of Duolun, whether they are Mongolian children or Han children, can speak Chinese and write Chinese characters. They abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty. The two ethnic groups can already be as close as each other.
We live together like brothers."
Yang Fan nodded and said: "Economy is a bond. As long as a common market is formed, everything can be solved."
Xiao Niangpi asked: "Sir, where are the three pieces of land you mentioned? Where are the other two pieces of land? Where are these three pieces of land?"
This question must be asked clearly. There is a lot of land in the world. But the three best pieces of land that can be seen by the master must be the best. She must be careful. These places must be reserved for her son in the future. The eldest son will inherit the master's land.
The rest of the family business must have a fief, right?
Before, Lin Yueru was quick to see an opportunity and dug out the Mudanjiang River Basin from the Songnen Plain, covering more than 30,000 square kilometers. My little girl's skin is still hurting now. She has to watch out for the rest.
"These three pieces of land are all black soil, as black as here in the Northeast. They are the most fertile land in the world."
"This is one of them. It's called the Ukrainian Plain, and it's now called the Lithuanian-Kiev Federation. To the north of this land is the Rakshasa Kingdom, and to the south is the Ottoman Empire. They are both powerful enemies. It won't be easy for us to capture it. We have to wait for the railway.
After we reach Tsaritsyn, we will have to immigrate the Han people to a place with a population of tens of millions, so that we can truly occupy it."
"Master, where is the remaining piece?" Lin Yueru asked quickly.
"The other area is very far away, and it takes 20,000 miles by sea. In the American continent, it is called the Mississippi River Plain. The drainage area is 3.22 million square kilometers, which is larger than the 3.05 million people in the Heilongjiang River Basin and the 3 million people in the Yangtze River Basin. But now we don't care
Where to go? In the next ten years, we will attack westward and first capture the fertile Don River and the lower reaches of the Volga River."
Xiao Niangpi nodded and said: "Yes, Northeast China and Ukraine cannot be developed in a short time. I think the most realistic immigration areas are Luzon Island, Hanoi Plain, Saigon Plain, Phnom Penh Plain, Bangkok Plain, and Myanmar.
Plains. These areas are ripe with crops three times a year. Farmers can develop them when they go there and harvest the same year they farm. Just drive the local indigenous people to the mountainous areas."
Yang Fan nodded appreciatively and said: "Madam, you are the smartest. This is what I think. Continue to attack the northeast and northwest with troops. But the place where early immigrants can start is Nanyang. Because Nanyang is relatively weak. Jiannu, Tsarist Russia, and Ottoman are all
It will be solved in a short while."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xiao Niangpi said: "I understand, conquering the Ming Dynasty is of no use, because it cannot solve the current problem. We cannot feed 200 million mouths. This is a hot potato. Only
Only after a great chaos in the world and a large loss of population can the new dynasty prosper. Wang Mang's failure and Liu Xiu's success are living examples."
"Now, whoever takes over the Ming Dynasty will be the last stick to beat the drum and spread the flowers. Only fools will go to the stove. The collapse of the Ming Dynasty is inevitable. The ratio of population and land output has reached the limit, and the outcome is doomed. This glorious mission
Let your Majesty do it yourself."
"Wang Mang just doesn't understand this truth. He insists on being in power, but he can't solve the problem. He doesn't even think about it. He can't solve the problem even if he becomes the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. Does it mean that if he usurps the throne and becomes the emperor, he will automatically have a way to solve it?
.”
"Liu Xiu reduced the population burden through war and was able to create the foundation of the Later Han Dynasty. Therefore, the best way was to expand the territory and at the same time immigrate the landless peasants to the colonies. Therefore, the current problem of the Ming Dynasty must be
Either we all have a big fight and use war, disease, and famine to reduce the population. Or we can immigrate the population overseas. Only reducing the population is the right way."
Chen Xi praised: "This is a very pragmatic plan. Remove the firepower and get rid of the landless peasants, and the conflicts in the Ming Dynasty will be alleviated. But sir, the gentry would rather let the peasants starve to death on their fields than let them leave."
.Because starving some people to death can increase pressure on tenant farmers and keep land rents high."
Yang Fan sneered and said: "They are unwilling now. When the thieves rise up and kill them everywhere, they will beg us to get rid of the refugees who have no land and property."
