Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 782 Explosive Growth

Prince Condé is indeed a very thoughtful person, he does not want to be trampled underfoot forever, he wants to be a king!
Not only does he want to create his own country, he also wants to lead his army back to Europe and seize the throne of the French king!
Such a lofty ideal naturally requires a lot of people to help him realize it.

So he continued to buy black slaves, frantically captured the Indians of the primitive tribes here, and sent ships to Europe to recruit craftsmen and young adults from various countries.

The population of Bahia is rapidly expanding under his frantic gathering, and the population under his control has reached millions at this moment.

Of course, this so-called rapid expansion is just his personal feeling, or the feeling of their Europeans.

Because a population of one million is not too small in continental Europe, it is already comparable to the size of the Netherlands and Portugal.

However, in Daming's eyes, this kind of population is a fart.

If the population of Bahia is expanding rapidly, the population of New Horse City is simply exploding.

At this moment, there are almost 300 million people in Xinma City!
Moreover, Wang Chong is still constantly pulling people over, basically around [-] people every day.

If calculated according to this growth rate, I am afraid that within half a year, the population of Xinma City will exceed 2000 million!

So, is there such a large population in the Amazon Basin?
Taichang estimates that there are, and there may be more than that.

Because the area they have explored at this moment can account for about [-]% of the entire Amazon River Basin at most.

If calculated according to this population density, the entire Amazon River Basin may have a population of 3000 to [-] million.

This estimate is well-founded

The area they explored is the basis. In addition, there is another very important basis, which is the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru.

In fact, the last fork that Wang Chong discovered was the junction of the Governor's District of Brazil and the Governor's District of Peru.

They discovered this by comparing it with the Spanish map.

And the two bifurcated tributaries almost run through the entire Viceroyalty of Peru.

What is the population of the Viceroyalty of Peru at this moment?

According to the statistics of the Spaniards, there are at least tens of millions of people!

Also, these were mostly Indians, not many Spanish colonists.

The area through which the two tributaries of the Amazon River flow accounts for at least [-]% of the entire Peruvian Viceroyalty.

In other words, there are more than 600 million Indians in the area where the two tributaries flow alone!
The population densities of the two known regions are so large, and it is normal for the population of the entire Amazon River Basin to reach 3000 to [-] million.

With so many people in the Amazon Basin, that's a good thing.

The larger the population, the more labor, and the more labor, the faster development will be.

There is no shortage of resources in the entire Americas, what is lacking now is population.

Of course, these populations cannot all be concentrated in Xinma City, and most of them cannot be concentrated in Xinma City.

Because New Horse City has such a large area.

If calculated according to the urban planning of later generations, even the most densely populated city, with all kinds of high-rise buildings built, with a population of more than [-] living within a square kilometer, would be quite crowded.

The area of ​​Xinma City is only seven to eight hundred square kilometers, and there are many factories and warehouses here.

In short, it is impossible for Xinma City to accommodate a population of 3000 to 500 million, and it would be impossible to accommodate a population of [-] million.

Therefore, the gathered population has to be diverted quickly, otherwise, Xinma City will really be overcrowded.

Moreover, the food problem has to find a solution quickly.

With a population of 3000 million, at least [-] million shi of grain was needed to feed them that year, and the [-] vassal states in North America could produce [-] million shi of grain at this moment.

Of course, it is impossible for him to let the Indian tribes in North America stop eating, and all the food is used to feed the primitive tribes in the Amazon River Basin.

After some deliberation, Taichang still decided to convene a meeting with relevant personnel to plan the development of the entire American continent.

This convening lasted more than ten days.

There is no way, the American continent is too big, even if he has two fast boats, it will take you more than ten days to pick up the representatives of the great elders from the [-] dependent countries in North America.

Without these two Clippers, it is estimated that it will take at least more than a month.

After more than ten days passed, the population of Xinma City exceeded 400 million!

Fortunately, he has already agreed with the 400 vassal countries in North America to provide hundreds of millions of grains and [-] head of cattle, plus dozens of large fishing boats are constantly fishing in the river and sea, so it is not a problem to feed [-] million people of.

However, more than 1000 million will not work.

If it reaches 2000 million, the food he has agreed with the [-] North American vassal countries can last up to half a year.

This question is already a bit urgent.

That's why he hastily recruited relevant personnel to discuss.

His summoning shocked the people who came from other places.

How is this going?

Why are there so many people in Xinma City suddenly?
They came all the way from the mouth of the sea, and the planned area of ​​Xinma City on the north bank of the Amazon River was densely packed with people!
At this moment, the city wall has not yet been built, and almost everyone is busy building residences, factories and warehouses.

Because the rainy season here has come, usually it is sunny for half of the day and rainy for the second half of the day. If there is no place to shelter from the wind and rain, people will definitely not be able to bear it.

In fact, the primitive tribes here prefer factories and warehouses.

Because the factory buildings and warehouses are very large, and the roofs are basically two feet high, the ventilation and sun protection effects are better than ordinary residences.

Lie down on the concrete floor of the factory and warehouse at night, and then you have to cover it, otherwise it will be a bit cold.

They naturally like such a cool place.

Anyway, apart from the start of the shipyard at this moment, other factories are still in preparation.

Taichang saw that these people liked to lie in factories and warehouses so much, so he simply let them build their residences and factories and warehouses together.

What is the scene of millions of people building houses at the same time?
Anyway, the people who were summoned from other places were all shocked.

On the top floor of the Emperor, in the largest meeting room,

Representatives of the great elders of the [-] Indian states in North America, including Huang Daozhou, the governor of North America, Sun Chuanting, the governor of Dongdaying, civil servants such as Peng Bin and Chen Zilong, several staff generals including Zhang Zhiji and Xu Yunzhen, including A Suzu, Zhao Baiyun and several tribal chiefs and dozens of people gathered here.

This can be said to be the largest meeting held by Taichang after he came to America, and most of the participants were officials from various Indian tribes. I have to say that it was a bit surprising.

Taichang didn't think there was anything to be surprised about. He called people here to discuss the affairs of the Americas. It is natural that there are more officials from various Indian tribes here.

He glanced around slightly, and then solemnly said: "Everyone, I believe everyone has seen that the population of Xinma City has skyrocketed to about 400 million.

And, it's not over yet.

If calculated according to the existing density, the population of the entire Amazon Basin is at least 3000 to [-] million. "

what?
Two to three million!

When everyone heard this, they were all dumbfounded.

You know, the combined population of the 700 dependent countries in North America is only [-] million!

Taichang then continued: "If the population of 3000 to [-] million is all concentrated, there will be more problems.

For example, food, housing, what work to arrange for them, and how to manage so many people are all problems.

We have to find a way to solve these. "

Twenty to thirty million people is really not a small number, and the problem is not ordinary.

When everyone heard this, they all nodded slightly.

However, everyone remained silent.

Because they all knew that this was just an opening statement, and the emperor hadn't asked any specific questions yet.

Taichang immediately began to ask specific questions.

He still said solemnly: "The so-called people regard food as their heaven, so the problem of food should naturally be solved first.

Now 400 million people are nothing, we can barely support 1000 million people, and 2000 million people will not work.

Therefore, we have to find ways to increase food production.

You all talk about what a good way to do. "

Well, 2000 million people need at least [-] million shi of grain a year to feed them.

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but look at the representatives of the elders of the North American Indian tribe, because only they had so much land, and only they could produce hundreds of millions of stones of grain.

The representatives of the [-] dependent countries of the Indian tribes in North America were indeed full of sadness, and hesitated to speak.

They can't help it, because they have reached their limit.

Six to seven million people plant more than 700 million mu of land, and they also have to raise cattle, sheep and horses, and mine mineral deposits. They are really too busy.

If you increase the amount of cultivated land, it will be exhausting!
Seeing this, Huang Daozhou could only sigh slightly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is nothing to do here in North America. Everyone is very busy, even children and old people have to help plant seeds, watch cattle, sheep and horses, and break corn." Wait for the job.

Weichen boldly suggested, or else, we should open up more land in the jungle here and teach them how to plant.

In this way we can harvest a lot of wood, what do you think? "

He is the governor of North America, and he is responsible for managing the twenty dependent countries in North America, so he naturally has to speak for his subordinates.

Taichang shook his head slightly and said: "No, we can't cut down forests in large areas.

We have to protect the primeval forest here, and we even have to find a way to put trees in the places where there are no trees.

Moreover, even when we harvest wood such as mahogany and teak, we have to plan carefully, and we have to plant several trees after cutting one.

In this way, this side can become an inexhaustible treasure house.

If large tracts of forest are deforested, the loss outweighs the gain.

Not to mention anything else, just say that the herbs and wood grown here are more valuable than food.

Otherwise, I will order more machines for cultivating land in New Liaoyang City, and use machines instead of man-made cultivated land. Can you double the cultivated land there? "

Uh, how can this kind of food be so simple!
Huang Daozhou could only bravely shake his head and said: "Your Majesty, I really do not intend to offend you, please atone for your sin.

This doesn’t work either, as the machines for plowing the land can just turn over the ground. Seedling raising, planting, harvesting, storage, transshipment, etc. still have to be done manually.

Moreover, at this moment, the land around the cities of the various dependent countries in North America has almost been developed. If it is further developed, even if it is riding a horse, it will not be able to go back and forth in a day.

This makes farming and harvesting more time-consuming and labor-intensive.

They are so busy! "

Uh, this.

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

If the food problem can't be solved, there's nothing else to say!
Could it be that, to slow down the speed of population gathering, first gather 1000 million people?
