Chapter 1457 Grain Production Requirements
On January 23, the fifteenth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao once again summoned Jia Sixie and Franklin King to meet in the living room on the first floor of the lord's cabin.
In the previous two days, after a day and night of in-depth discussions with Meng De and Zhong Mou, Qu Mao finally concluded the discussion on the strategic planning for the development of civil industry and technology in the next ten years in the Holy Land of the Emperor Yi. Qu Mao has no specific strategic planning text, but Qu Mao is still very satisfied with the results of his discussions with Meng De and Zhong Mou.
The next step should be food-related issues, so Qu Mao directly summoned Jia Sixie and Franklin King, the two earliest aborigines in the territory of Emperor Yi, who are now extremely low-key, back to the lord's hut to discuss food production issues.
After talking about education planning, civil industry and technology planning, Qu Mao suddenly discovered a very serious problem, that is, on the main continent of the Eastern Continent, Emperor Yi's territory generally adopted surrender or capture, and then appointed garrison heroes to separate the territory. form governed.
In the early days of Emperor Yi's territory, there were not enough God's Chosen players, so the entire Eastern Continent did not have any gamified cultivated land. There is no gamified cultivated land, which means that the actual sowing method is required to grow food from the cultivated land, that is, it is necessary to look at the farming time, and the food The production cycle of crops can also be very long.
There is no such problem in the Holy Land of Emperor Yi’s Territory. Although the area of returning farmland to forests on each island is relatively large, because there are a large number of folding spaces left on the empty island and the joint island, and the terrain in these folding spaces has been transformed, Moreover, all the arable land belonging to Emperor Yi's territory has been reclaimed, so there is no food crisis, but the Eastern Continent can't do it.
Even if Qu Mao's Yidi territory seized the Eastern Continent very smoothly, necessary wars are necessary, and the entire Eastern Continent's population structure has been severely damaged. However, the original farming experience and family structure have been completely destroyed.
After taking the Principality of Pengda completely, the total population of Emperor Yi's territory in the Eastern Continent will reach 30 billion to 35 billion, which made Qu Mao start to worry about food supply.
Furthermore, the other four continents have established four branch territories, and a new branch territory will be established at the other end of the teleportation array in the second half of the 15th year of Tianxuan. It is estimated that the five branch territories will eventually increase their population by at least 5 million.
To maintain the food and clothing of these 30 billion residents, Qu Mao believes that there is still a lot of pressure on the food production in the territory of Emperor Yi, and he must continue to support the food of the Fulu Empire. I don't know if the cultivated land in the space can still support it.
At the beginning, Qu Mao discovered that as long as the ownership of the cultivated land reclaimed from the holy land of Emperor Yi's territory was assigned to the aborigines, it would immediately lose its game attributes and become crops that depended on farming hours and long growth cycles.
Only after Ximen Fenghua took the management team to Zhongtu City in the mainland to establish the branch territory of Fenghua Village, the cultivated land reclaimed in Zhongtu City and Fenghua City inherited the effect of gamified cultivated land, and can grow according to the maturity period of game crops. Sowing and harvesting, no need to look at the external farming time.
Even now, the main continent of the Eastern Continent is almost completely included in the sphere of influence of Emperor Yi's territory, and there is only one Principality of Pengda left. The territory of Yidi still has not reported the crisis of food shortage, but Qu Mao suddenly thought of this problem, and I learned that the Holy Land of Emperor Yi's territory is still continuously delivering food to the independent territories of the Eastern Continent.
After receiving Qu Mao's summons, Jia Sixie and Franklin Jin rushed back to the lord's hut in Yidi's territory as quickly as possible, and sat in the living room on the first floor of the lord's hut, listening to Qu Mao babbling about his worries about food supply. .
After listening to everything, Jia Sixie frowned and said, "My lord, since the establishment of our territory, except for the food crisis we experienced in the first period, in fact, food cultivation has always been able to meet the living needs of the residents, but what you are worried about, my lord , is indeed worthy of our careful consideration.
Agricultural Research Institute has only been established in Shaliu City, Shaliu Hou State, and it was established with the starting point of planting crops in the desert. This starting point is somewhat insufficient.
Our Yidi territory is an independent territory in the Eastern Continent, including the Tassel Empire and the Mughal Empire. Every year, a large amount of food needs to be brought back from the Holy Land to ensure that all residents have enough food.
Therefore, the subordinates are thinking: With our current level of agricultural cultivation, there is a high probability that the arable land on the Eastern Continent will not be able to meet the survival needs of its own residents. It is more suitable for the high-yield grain seeds sown by the residents of the independent territories of the Eastern Continent to solve the possible food crisis. "
Franklin King thought for a while, and then said: "My lord, the cultivation of high-yielding grain seeds that Master Jia Sixie mentioned is one aspect, and my subordinates believe that it is necessary to enrich the dietary structure of the residents in each independent territory, such as agricultural planting, poultry and livestock breeding, Fish farming requires comprehensive utilization.
Even areas with mountains, forests, lakes and rivers have to consider hunting and fishing supplements. The early residents of the Yi Emperor’s territory all experienced food shortages. At the beginning, they ate animal meat until they vomited..."
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "Jia Sixie, Franklin, you are the earliest residents of the territory, I will not be polite to you.
I think you can think about these specific strategies for yourself, but the question I am concerned about is: once the Principality of Pengda is completely captured by us, the total number of residents in the territory of Emperor Yi will be as high as 30 billion or even 35 billion. The population of the four branch territories and the fifth branch territory that may appear in the future.
Shaliuhou Kingdom, Peiquan Village, and Liede Village will definitely not have the conditions to produce their own grain in a short period of time, which means that at least three branch territories completely need our food supply from the Holy Land of Yidi Territory, and our total grain output must be increased. Satisfy this demand, otherwise there will be a very big crisis in our territory. "
Jia Sixie and Franklin King looked at each other, and said to Qu Mao in unison: "Yes, my lord!"
Franklin King added: "My lord, don't worry! My subordinates and Master Jia Sixie started discussions afterwards to ensure that there will be no food crisis. Please rest assured, my lord."
