The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

Chapter 34: population

Views:

Time passed by slowly like this, and in a blink of an eye it was March of the first year of the First Yuan Dynasty. One month has finally arrived, and Zhong Yu will also get his luck points on this day to start a new round of dominance.

After a month of reclamation, and later adding some barbarians to help, Zhong Yu harvested a total of 13,000 acres of farmable land.

From 13,000 acres, 39,000 kilograms of grain can be harvested, and a family of five, or one household, needs to consume 5 kilograms of grain every day. This year's population will be about 50,000, which is 10,000 households.

At that time, the population has just reached the level, and the food has been harvested. It is just in time to catch up, and there is no need to exchange luck points by yourself.

Then the food consumed every day will be 500 shi. This food can only support him for three months at most. During the expedition, he can also sow another round of food.

In this period, I will have enough labor force to cultivate fertile fields, and the food crisis will be solved by then. And I only need to be responsible for 10,000 people and two or three months of food.

After solving the food crisis problem, Zhong Yu finally started his own refugee camp summons, which was the same place as last time. However, this time I brought 100 Royal Guards with me. I didn't have to bring just a few Yellow Turbans in rags like last time to show off.

These guards wearing full body armor will let the refugees see what a real army is!

The place where the refugee camp was settled last time was changed by Zhong Yu into a square. In the square, people can be summoned, government orders can be announced, or the army can be summoned and the army can be mobilized. In short, it is a very multi-functional place.

The square is 100 meters long and wide from left to right. It is very vast. Next to it are the offices of various government offices. It has deep walls and high courtyards, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are usually guards patrolling the surrounding area, guarding the government offices and looking out for suspicious persons.

It is very safe and appropriate to place the refugees here. There is no need to worry about the refugees coming out to cause trouble or escaping.

“Building a refugee camp”

As soon as the words fell, a burst of white light lit up above the square, and the shadow of a simple camp appeared, which was constantly solidifying.

When the villagers who were working in the distance saw the situation here, they stopped one after another and looked here, looking very curious and familiar. They thought that they were also in such a burst of white light, from inside the camp, He was recruited by the lord and became a subject under the lord's rule.

As the white light dissipated, the refugee camp officially appeared in front of everyone. Zhong Yu's face was filled with excitement, as his future foundation was about to come.

It was still the same noise. The deep and broken sounds in the refugee camp slowly began to sound, and finally turned into a buzzing sound like a bee, which made people feel a little bored.

He ordered the guard knights around him to ride forward into the camp and drive out all the refugees so that he could inspect them.

Ta-ta-ta-ta, with the sound of horse hooves, all the knights swarmed in and broke into the camp. Suddenly, the noise in the camp became even louder, mixed with a trace of fear and crying, and a trace of anger. The screams slowly subsided.

Then, all the noise was extinguished, leaving only the scolding and shouting of the knights. Slowly, the shouting also became lower. In front of the door, with the two knights taking the lead, all the refugees were organized into two rows, and they were driven out in a long queue.

Seeing the refugees being gathered in the square, Zhong Yu found out that he was lucky this time. There were more than 220 refugees in total.

Although there is some gap between the top 300 people, but generally speaking, it is considered to be above the middle and lower than the high level, which is a good harvest.

If this is the case in the future, then I will be able to receive 1,300 to 400 people from him, which is as many as 3 to 400 people compared to the entire population that has been exchanged. Overall, I have made a profit.

After watching them for a while, Zhong Yu said something about how he could live a happy, happy and stable life under his leadership, and how he would have a bright future and great ambitions in the future.

Obviously, after his explanation and coercion, their hearts clearly settled down, and they began to initially accept that they had come to a place that was completely different from the same world.

After comforting these refugees, Zhong Yu ordered to go down and take these refugees to the houses he had prepared for them, and organize the people into households according to their closeness and blood connections, so as to become a common family and become his own Tax household registrations that can be used and transferred.

Twenty knights were left behind, and they were ordered to guard here every day. He would also arrange for others to replace them, and so on, one by one, to ensure that within 24 hours, the refugee camps here could be at their own disposal at any time. under surveillance.

If you don't watch them carefully, maybe there will be a hero or something among them, who will gather people to make trouble, threaten themselves, or attack the government offices and kill and injure the people.

These are some disasters that must be guarded against, so enough power must be left to scare them, and when necessary, kill them as a warning to others.

Returning to his study, Zhong Yu sat down quietly and began his usual thinking again. Judging from the current situation, I should be able to harvest around 1,300 to 1,800 of his population.

He is about to go on an expedition next, so he must recruit a large number of troops. These refugees should be able to take out his 300 young and strong soldiers. Continue to recruit 100 people from the previous subjects. A few days of training will allow them to understand the most basic military orders.

In this way, he can get about 400 new soldiers, and then recruit the group of people who yearn for him from those barbarians, and he should also be able to get about 300 servants.

In this way, plus his 100 guard knights, he has a total army of about 800 people, which can be used by him to go to war at any time.

Leave him 100 young and strong to defend the territory. The 700 people he led went out to fight. The barbarians among them, after several days of comfort and brainwashing, understood that the reality was irreversible, and their tribal relatives were all under their control.

The loyalty of the three hundred or so barbarians who are loyal to themselves should be trustworthy. When the time comes, they will be equipped with some Han soldiers to monitor them, and then they can be used by themselves.

Was it possible for me to plunder the prisoners with four hundred last time? He has nearly 2,600 barbarians, and now that he has 700 of his own, he should be able to rob back his 5,000 barbarians.

With this population, my task of founding the country can be completed. I really look forward to it. I will be a king by then.

Oh, no, he is not a king yet, he is just the lowest king. If he wants to be a king, without his population of 1 million, a land, and dozens of counties, what is the point? Qualified to be the king!

However, even if you want to become a king, it is not that difficult. As long as he can continue to develop steadily like this, becoming a king will only be a matter of a few years for him, and it is not so far away.

With a system in place, you don't need to be as difficult as others to start a business. You have to constantly accumulate your own strength, save money and food, train soldiers, and train talents who are loyal to you. This one after another, one by one, who doesn't need it for a few years? It took more than ten years to accumulate and complete,

And I only need enough luck points to exchange them for energy continuously. What kind of power is this, how lucky is it, and where are those country bumpkins? Can the hard work compare
