Chapter 4183: Chen Xi's biggest enemy

It doesn't matter how much this ratio is, or how many self-sacrifices of the middle and low castes are included in this out-of-productivity rate, the Brahmins and Kshatriyas, the two non-working classes, really occupy the Nangui population class. such a ratio.

In fact, even in later generations, India's natural mortality rate includes more than one million deaths each year due to malnutrition and starvation.

Of course, this does not mean that India's grain output is insufficient. In fact, in 2021, under the influence of the epidemic, India will still export 2,140W tons of grain, which is calculated according to the internationally recognized food safety line of 400 kilograms. Exports are enough to feed 50 million people.

Therefore, logically speaking, India's food output is roughly self-sufficient, but it is limited by local organizational strength and indifference to the middle and lower castes, resulting in a large number of malnutrition and starvation every year.

To be honest, India is a big exporter of grain and beef even in later generations. As for China, it is actually a big import and consumption country of grain and beef. If I remember correctly, these two data should have already reached the top in the world by now.

But the difference is that Chinese beef is imported because it is really not enough for Chinese people, so it is imported everywhere. At present, the imported beef is actually beef from Brazil, Argentina, Australia, the United States, Russia and Canada. As for Japanese beef and Indian beef, China does not 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 as for quality. After all, some high-yield grains are really The food is not delicious, although there is no problem in saving lives, but it has not lived to that extent this year, so China imports food all year round.

In fact, if we really want to talk about grain production, China ranks first in the world, the United States is second, India is third, Russia, Brazil, and Indonesia are basically the same, and after that, it has dropped by a single digit. Compared with these old people, the gap is very large .

However, relatively speaking, India’s gameplay makes the lives of the middle and lower classes miserable. The number of starvation deaths in the millions every year is outrageous. However, due to the natural growth rate caused by the huge population base, this sporadic malnutrition causes death, Not noticed at all.

On the other hand, it is enough to see how outrageous such a large country is, and how ridiculous the Ganges is.

Although the Ganges River is not considered India these days, Nangui is basically a form of Hinduism. Relying on the social division of labor brought about by the Ganges River and the caste system, it is indeed to support a very outrageous full-time population for a feudal society.

What is this called, this is called a geographical advantage, and it is so capricious three times a year.

It's not that Chen Xi is not strong, but that the grain-producing areas in the Central Plains were basically once a year and fallow once every two years before Lei Jitai.

At least this is true from the Han Dynasty to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. From the "Book of Fansheng", "If you can't harvest at the age of two, you will be off at the age of one." Only the age is easy to be good”, “If you want to get good land, you don’t need the old ruins”, which means fallow and relocation.

But the Indian side is different. India does not need to fallow crops, and what makes Chen Xi’s liver hurt is that, if you don’t count him, China didn’t have upland rice until around the Song Dynasty.

In fact, Song Zhenzong dared to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen because of the rule of Xianping. During this period, Song Zhenzong widely promoted Champaign rice, reclaimed wasteland, promoted the development of various handicrafts and commerce, and foreign trade began to increase wildly. At the time of the Yuan Alliance, Song Zhenzong could say the basis for the randomness of coins under one million years old.

Because this guy can't engage in foreign wars, he can't do anything, but he is very strong in development, and the domestic tax revenue Kula has reached its peak level. more of the non-working population entered handicrafts and commercial trade.

Don't mention things like martial arts and territory, only mention the degree of domestic development and prosperity, Song Zhenzong is actually qualified, but the default between emperors of Taishan Fengchan before this is actually the unification of the prosperous world, the expansion of the territory, and its own importance is unparalleled. His achievements are enough to compile and engrave inscriptions that have been passed down through the ages.

It is precisely because of this acquiescence that the First Emperor, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Guangwu, Emperor Gaozong of Tang, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang would go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen when they were at their peak. The unfortunate Li Er had been preparing for a long time, but as a result, the comet collided with the sun, and he lay flat on the court and hammered it casually. gone.

But I can only talk about the achievements in the peak period. There is nothing wrong with Emperor Qin and Han Wu going to Mount Tai to Fengchan. Even if Guangwu has shortcomings, there is nothing to say about the fate of the day. If Xuanzong Tianbao died in ten years or so, then Xuanzong would dare to **** the first emperor of the ancient times, but at least these people in their peak period are indeed qualified.

After Song Zhenzong went up, it was equivalent to making it stinky, so no one went there again. It was really rubbish. It was really shameful to go to this kind of **** that did not even unify the world, so since then It stinks when Mount Tai is enshrined in Zen, and a minister was sent to the Taishan Festival after that.

However, in good conscience, only to mention the second point, that is, if the country is prosperous and prosperous, the Song Zhenzong period is qualified, but the emperors are all compared to the first point. too many.

After all, the former represents force, dignity, and ridges, while the latter is just a fortress on the beach. Without the former, a wave would be gone.

What's more, in Song Zhenzong's era, Champaign rice was obtained from Southeast Asia. This kind of accidental event is indeed a bit difficult to describe. Generally speaking, it gives the impression that the factor of luck is too strong.

But no matter what, the emergence of upland rice has really brought the grain industry in the Central Plains into a new realm. With the rise of the primary industry, there is room for the secondary industry. Going forward, it is not that those dynasties do not want to engage in business or crafts. Workshop, but realistically speaking, there is no way to do it.

Or it was done, but the ceiling was too low to develop.

Only in the Song Dynasty, when upland rice was introduced, and the south was truly developed, it was no longer necessary to fallow due to rain and climate. Even if it was affected by the monsoon, upland rice could be grown to supplement it during the drought period, so that the grain production could be greatly increased. subsequent development.

It can be said that when upland rice entered the Central Plains, it was able to have the foundation for more people to go out of production, and it was also the foundation for the Song Dynasty to be able to go for such a long time in the crazy land mergers. The problem exploded.

Chen Xi is very aware of the logic in this, so he promoted the crop of upland rice early, but at present, because the south has not been fully cultivated, other parts of the Central Plains still need to fallow, etc. Upland rice is more of a supplement in Yuzhou and Xuzhou, not a is the main crop.

But in any case, the significance of this thing is extraordinary. It is a subtropical monsoon climate and a very important food crop in a tropical monsoon climate. It is also the basis of ancient double-cropping. As a result, the three wild rice species discovered in China are all Not upland rice.

Of course, it is not upland rice that can be improved and cultivated from generation to generation by the optimization and cultivation of the day after tomorrow, but this requires time and energy, and there are too many occasional accidents under the ancient non-directional cultivation, so the Central Plains did not have a long time This thing.

On the other hand, there is wild upland rice directly on the Ganges River. Even in the second millennium BC, India grew upland rice and rice 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 open and hang, the innate factors are there, the climate and environment in India are there, and tens of thousands of years of evolution will inevitably cause some wild rice to differentiate into upland rice populations, and these In fact, it is the so-called innate advantage.

It is the accumulation of these chaotic advantages that enables Brahmins and Kshatriyas to quit doing nothing and live only by collecting taxes.

The feudal era, after all, is the era of food. As long as there is food to eat, many problems can be solved, and the biggest advantage of the Indus-Gangetic Plain is the output of food, even if it is not pointed out because of the environment that is too dominant. With intensive cultivation and reliable food, there is still a yield of about eight stone per mu per year.

This is the most unhappy part of Chen Xi - I struggled so hard, and finally achieved your innate advantage in this aspect, so unhappy!

But think about it on the other hand, since I surpassed you in all other aspects, and this is the only thing left, then I can take this innate advantage.

That's right, with this innate advantage, Chen Xi may be able to create a full-time population of more than ten points in a feudal society, that is, six people who farm, three people who manufacture other living materials, and one who does not produce but consumes staff.

This is a very ridiculous ratio, but this ratio is based on the three-season planting environment here. It can basically be achieved with the addition of Lei Jitai to increase fertilizer. This is why Chen Xi covets the Ganges River Basin. .

Their own farming technology, fertilizer accumulation technology, intensive farming, large farms, various supporting manpower machinery, etc., are enough to ensure that the yield per mu exceeds 12 stone, and this kind of farming method, the manpower required for one mu of land is actually similar to that in the past. Even if there is a slight increase, in the face of more than 1.5 times the grain output, it is enough to release a lot of farmers.

It can be said that under the current social environment, a place where fewer people farm and produce more output is very important for the Han family. After all, natural population growth in a short period of time is naturally hopeless, so it is still possible to dig deeper to release it. population is more realistic.

Compared with the newly born children, it takes 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 not 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 follow-up five-year plan must continue to be promoted, and Chen Xi is really uneasy if he does not make some arrangements in advance. Be steadfast, even if there is a pre-announcement before.

Compared with the pre-eucalyptus, the Ganges River will be reshaped here, the grain output will be increased, the number of non-productive people will be increased, and more people will enter the workshops, industries, etc., which are more suitable for the next development.

This is also the reason why Chen Xi must come here in person. If he doesn't come here, he will not check on the spot. In fact, even if Chen Xi knows a lot, it is inevitable that he will be lacking when he displays it. As far as Chen Xi is concerned, he basically knows it.

In fact, Chen Xi is very clear that if he really wants to take this road at present, the most correct way is actually to vacate the cage and change the bird, immigrate to the border, transfer and split the population of nearly 10 million in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges, and then migrate the people from the Central Plains for immigration. Shibian, this is the fastest way to use this land to complete full-time production, but unfortunately, this kind of thought only turned around in Chen Xi's mind before throwing it away.

Not to mention what kind of organizational strength is needed for the transfer and splitting of the nearly ten million people in Nangui who have not been trained for military service. Just talking about where to move to and how to resettle them is a big problem.

After that, immigration to the real side is a big problem. Even if this place has been determined to be Zhili from Chang'an in the future, the immigration to the real side is not so easy to implement, so I don't mention the question of how to migrate, just ask where to find it. So many people willing to relocate is a big problem.

With the heavy snowfall the previous year, the resettlement conditions given by Chen Xi have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the people have clearly understood that living in a house here is the most correct choice. In this case, if you want to relocate very difficult.

If he does this at this time, Chen Xi's opponent is actually himself. He is the perfect design of the house after the village and the village, as well as various supporting facilities. The people's happiness and living standards have greatly improved. It is no longer when they lived in thatched huts a few years ago. After Chen Xidi made an iron fist and forcibly relocated, the people lived for two years and realized that the government was actually doing it for their own good.

Now if Chen Xi is forced to move, there will inevitably be public resentment.

In fact, there were also public grievances during the forced relocation. When it snowed the year before, why did so many people from the mountains without household registration appear? In fact, many people were forced to relocate because of Chen Xi, and then they did not trust the government and fled to the mountainous areas.

It's just because the comparison is too obvious, and the government has indeed fulfilled all its promises, not talking to itself, so the grievances of the people are quickly subsided. After all, a brick house with one and a half floors is better than a thatched house. .

In addition to dividing fields and building roads, building water networks, laying pipelines, etc., even if people are short-sighted, they can distinguish between good and bad, just like when Liu Bei was in Jiaozhou by those ignorant people who came to complain It was about to explode, but the support shown by these clan elders came from the heart.

Obviously, such things as human hearts actually have steelyards.

Therefore, Chen Xi is very clear that at this time, if he wants to launch a migration, there must be people who will participate voluntarily, but there is absolutely no five million, but if he is forced to migrate, the opponent is his past self.

Wrong, Nangui's natural full-time population is actually 6%. Forget it, the extra 1% can be regarded as a year-old currency for Beigui. As a digression, after Dianniang started to give this book an official anti-theft yesterday, twenty 9000+ subscriptions in 4 hours, it’s outrageous, according to this rhythm, my novel with 1700W words, the latest chapter can get tens of thousands of subscriptions in 24 hours, I am also convinced, maybe many readers don’t understand it. What is the concept, I can only say that my book is so long, tens of thousands in 24 hours is really outrageous, if you can read the original version, please read the original version, let me have a few days of joy
