Chapter 1030 Countermeasures
The Central Plains family's actions this time were really ruthless, and they were completely at all costs.
"Yuan Hao." Wang Xuan turned his eyes to Tian Feng and asked in a deep voice: "Can we have the ability to eat these three million people?"
Tian Feng's expression was stiff. He was a lord with a common man. He was really a gentleman. His whole life was nothing more than benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. In his opinion, the famous scholars and wealthy families in the world were all famous all over the world, and their reputations were all gentlemen. But now the practices of these wealthy families in the Central Plains have really broken his views.
"I can't eat it!" Although Tian Feng really wanted to settle these people to avoid their displacement, he was still unwilling to lie. "We have our own five-year plan. Although all the materials have an unplanned surplus to deal with emergencies, it does not include this."
"Our population is only 1,500,000. The newly occupied Yizhou is vast and sparsely populated, and it is only over one million. The newly occupied land in Jingzhou is not stable yet. It is still a population that we can control is only 1,700,000. How can we eat one-sixth of the completely proletarian one at a time?"
"What's more, there have been constant wars over the past year. The farming in Guanzhong, Hanzhong, Shuzhong, and Jingzhou has been delayed. Now it is still consuming old grain from several aristocratic families. Otherwise, we will be famine now."
This is true. It seems that there are not many people in three million, so it should not be that difficult to support it. In fact, it is completely different concepts.
These are completely proletarians. They don’t need to care about food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Liu Bei needs a population, but this thing has increased by one sixth a little bit, and even food is not enough to eat.
After all, this is not a day or two. It will take a year to migrate, settle down, and everything will be done when these people have a yield.
Now that Liu Bei's rule is developing rapidly, all resources have been mobilized, how can we have so many resources to support three million people at once?
It's like a bottle full of water. If you force it into another sixth, the only consequence is that the bottle is burst.
What's more, these three million people did not come in from one place, but rushed in from the entire contact surface. It would cost just to adjust animal resources!
What's more, Wang Xuan thought that since the Central Plains family could drive out three million people, they could drive out three million people again. What should I do next time after eating this time?
The Central Plains family did not mind going back again if they could do the first time. In fact, these families with a long history are very clear about the harms of population expansion after they reached their limits. After all, they have seen it too many times.
Even if you barely support these three million people, it will inevitably significantly lower the living standards of the 1,700,000 people under your own rule. It will be strange if you don’t complain.
Look at Europe, it was quite wealthy, but after a large number of refugees were pouring in, it was nothing illegal...
What's more, how much resources can these three million people be saved after being driven out by the aristocratic family? The food alone is enough for Boss Cao to summon 500,000 troops to fight a year's war.
While reducing the burden on himself, he was trying to make Liu Han out of his mind. After being forced to the limit, the Central Plains family was able to really take action after they were forced to tear off the hypocritical mask.
As for the issue of public opinion, in this era when people cannot go dozens of miles from birth to death, public opinion is not what aristocratic families say.
If you want to completely block the news, you can completely let the irrelevant people know nothing.
People who are so stupid that they don’t know a single word are just fooling around, but they don’t need to worry about their lives or death after being driven out.
Wang Xuan knocked the table with a calm face and his fingers unconsciously. His move was so fierce that he caught him off guard, but Wang Xuan could not think of any good idea for a moment.
After all, he can't create a lot of supplies out of thin air.
Huh~Wang Xuan exhaled a breath of turbid air and looked up, and found that everyone was looking at him with earnest eyes, as if he could come up with a solution in the next moment as usual. Faced with everyone's expectations, Wang Xuan only felt that his head was hurt.
I have to pretend to be a pussy myself, and I have to pretend to cry even if I cry.
If you want to stop one idea and change another way, this is the experience Wang Xuan has accumulated over the past century.
"Wenhe, let's talk about the movements of the Eastern Wu army in Jiangnan. Didn't they join forces with Cao Cao? What are they doing?" Wang Xuan said with a smile, as if he was confident.
Jia Xu was stunned, not understanding why Wang Xuan asked the Eastern Wu what he was doing, so he said in a scattered manner: "They are normal. They are nothing more than mobilizing the army to send troops in Jingnan. They go upstream and go straight to Jiangxia, and set off from Yichun to Changsha. They mobilized 100,000 troops in full swing. It was also considered a scattered out."
One hundred thousand army?
Wang Xuan raised his eyebrows. If he remembered correctly, the total population of Eastern Wu is less than 3 million, so can he dispatch an army of 100,000?
So rich?
However, it may not be impossible!
Speaking of which, although Jiangnan has not been developed and is still wild, it is really stress-free to support only three million people. More than 800 years later, the population of the Southern Song Dynasty reached more than 80 million. The land of fish and rice is really not a joke.
So... Wang Xuan turned his head and looked at the big map hanging on the wall. This method of breaking the deadlock really had to fall on Dongwu. If you don’t ask for anything else, at least it can solve the urgent problem.
As for solving these three million people, Wang Xuan gritted his teeth. He still had enough success and failed. He could not solve the strategy of aristocratic families driving away the population and creating chaos. Has he not done anything to destroy Cao Cao's territory yet?
Come on, happy!
Let's hurt each other, it depends on who can end up with it. Anyway, he has a solution.
"If this happens, there will be no problem." Wang Xuan stood up and glanced at everyone, "I already have a countermeasure. Our biggest problem is how to support these three million people. We are short of food, but Dongwu is not short of food. I will rob them of this food. No, I borrow it!"
"Everyone first think about how to settle the people and let them pass through like locusts, which is definitely not possible."
"Is there any way for the national teacher to solve the problem of Dongwu?" Guo Jia looked at Wang Xuan in surprise and disbelief. Dongwu and Cao Cao had a completely disagreement. Dongwu broke up Cao Cao's platform in a crazy way?
Don’t you know that it will be their turn after Cao Cao is finished?
Unless Wang Xuan can defeat the Eastern Wu in one fell swoop with thunder, this is simply impossible.
"The Eastern Wu is different from Cao Cao and us. Although the Sun family is the main force, its control is not that great. The four major families and the medium-sized families under it are relatively independent. To be honest, the Jiangnan region is vast and sparsely populated. Now the Jiangdong family is less than one-tenth of which will not have any conflict with us at all. There is no need for us to destroy the Jiangnan family."
