Pioneering

Chapter 204 Harvest and Short-Term Goals

After a long absence, Zhong Ming returned to Changle Castle in Devon County, and made a rough calculation to count the harvest.

First of all, the biggest harvest is the 75-square-kilometer territory of Andrea Eurasia, which has a population of about 800 million, and the Cabot County, which has a population of more than [-] million and [-] square kilometers.

Including Yaxia's original land of 90 square kilometers and a population of 4000 million, Zhong Ming currently has a territory of about 170 million square kilometers and a population of about 5000 million.

Zoya World has abundant energy and fertile soil, and its grain yield and starch content are two to three times higher than that of Blue Star.This is also the reason why, under the exploitation of this group of greedy nobles and rampant blood moon monsters, there is still a population that exceeds the population of the same geographical area in Blue Star's feudal period.

If agriculture can be further developed, it will not be a problem to double the upper limit of population that can be accommodated in one's own territory.

Secondly, more than 5000 million gold coins, about 700 million tons of grain, and more than 340 million tons of meat were seized.

The material harvest was more than a third less than Yige's.

This must be taken into account that the national strength of Andreouya is indeed not as good as that of Yige.

If it wasn't for the fact that Yige was strangled by his own heavenly justice not long after he was promoted in the world, Yige should be able to raise more strong men than Andreouya, not similar to him.

There is also the God of Vacuum who fulfilled his promise to hand over the Principality of Andreia and the Earl of Capote to himself, and he was ashamed to ransack the house with the church like Yige did.

In addition, one-fifth of the noble defectors of the original Andreoya were accepted, and these people did not move.

Fighting along the way, Salt distributed food and drove the captives to serve as an allied army, which also cost a lot of money and food.

Therefore, the material harvest has decreased, as it should be.

Then there are extraordinary materials, metals, roughly 280kg of fine gold, 4000kg of mithril, red mountain copper, black water jade gold, ... and other common special metals ranging from a few kilograms to dozens of kilograms;
Non-metallic ones, the magic stones of various attributes range from several thousand to tens of thousands. There are a total of 15 magic stones of various attributes, more than 7000 magic crystals, and more than 500 middle and low-level magic cores.

Twelve space equipment and three wands of various appearances.

The strange thing is that there is a "gourmet tablecloth" in Flana's treasury. As long as you read the food information in your heart, you can conjure a tablecloth of delicacies out of thin air, but the maximum weight of the food conjured up every day is 100kg.

Fine gold and mithril are a kind of associated mines of gold mine and silver mine, and the quantity is scarce.Its essence is very different from ordinary gold and silver, similar to the relationship between graphite and diamond.

However, in the alchemy knowledge that Zhong Ming has found so far, there is no way to refine gold and silver into pure gold and mithril.

However, Zhong Ming's "metal control" and "substance transformation" powers work together, as long as he understands the metal elements of the structure, he can transform ordinary substances into extraordinary metals.

So he didn't care too much about the amount of extraordinary resources of the metal type, only the types.

Note that it can only be transformed, not created out of thin air.

Even if the air is turned into a metal, it needs to follow the law of matter conservation that the number of atomic nuclei and electrons remains unchanged, and consume air.

In the end, when Zhong Ming chatted with the God of Vacuum, he got out a lot of secret information, including the general situation of the star world, the power structure of the temples of the gods, the erosion of the abyss, ... useful and useless information.

Full of harvest!

Zhong Ming stretched comfortably, very satisfied with his harvest this time.

According to the God of Vacuum, the twelve main gods generally control one or two kingdom-level human kingdoms, that is, human countries with a territory of more than 200 million square kilometers and a population of more than [-] million.And a variable amount of small and medium sub-planes.

The subplane is a space attached to the dimensional system of the world tree. The rules and systems are not very perfect, so many that it can be described as the world of Hengsha, but the subplane that is suitable for the survival of intelligent life is very rare.
The small and medium planes mastered by the gods refer to valuable planes that allow intelligent life to survive and provide themselves with beliefs and materials.

Generally, a small plane can accommodate tens of thousands to millions of intelligent life;

A medium-sized plane can accommodate millions to hundreds of millions of lives;

I haven't heard of any god occupying a large plane alone, and it can accommodate more than one billion lives in theory.

Then there is the main plane of Zoya World level, which can have Zoya Planet, a super-large planet with tens of billions of human beings and several alien races, and countless unknown life planets that may have intelligent life.

But the main plane of Zoya is too big. Even before the disappearance of the Kabbalah, which is the embodiment of the world tree, the gods can still appear in the main plane in full bloom. It is very difficult to find life planets in the vast universe. and time consuming things.

Not to mention that now the gods can only appear in the material world (the main plane of Zoya) in the form of divine descent, so it is even more difficult to find life planets.

However, Zhong Ming felt that there must be a planet of life in the hands of the gods, but the wealth was not exposed, and it was not exposed.

Planet Zoya is special, not only in its large size and rich attribute energy, but also in its spatial position!

The God of Vacuum clearly mentioned that the planet Zoya is very likely to be the center of the universe in the material world. Even if it is not the center, it is also a key node linking other dimensions such as the underworld, astral world, hell, and the sea of ​​ether.

The sea of ​​ether began to spray attribute energy from the planet Zoya to the material world. After Zhong Ming brought the concept of aura to the world of Zoya, the aura also spread from the planet Zoya to the universe...

Based on this calculation, Zhong Ming feels that a god at the level of the twelve main gods has at least one billion believers in his hands!

The belief race of the gods is still dominated by humans, because humans are the most cost-effective.

Races that reproduce faster than humans have no brains, no wisdom, low mental power, and the power of faith provided is far inferior to humans;

And races with higher spiritual power than humans have very limited fertility.

Therefore, humans have become the most favored race of the gods.

Even some proud elves and gods born from giant dragons have secretly raised many human beings from different planes...

Zhong Ming wants to continue to develop, grow to the number of believers who match his godhead authority, and exert his due strength after ascension, either continue to expand in the world of Zoya, or find sub-planes or planets of life.

In contrast, it is easiest to continue to expand in the world of Zoya...

Zhong Ming cleared his mind and straightened out what to do next:
1. Relief with work to relieve the civilians in Andrea and Asia affected by the war.

2. Spread faith.The period of turmoil is when people's thoughts are impetuous, and it is a good opportunity to preach, and it can also strengthen their control over this place.

3. Restore order.It is necessary to recruit troops from Andreoya and Yaxia to replace a group of standing troops to maintain basic law and order.

4. Reward meritorious officials.Whether his fantasy version of military merit can be implemented well is related to his future expansion plans.

5. Punish people.How did the nobles of Capote County arrange it, as well as Princess Morisa captured by Salter for himself, and a group of officials big and small who worked hand in hand in the war.

6. Post-war reconstruction.Nearly half of the water conservancy and road facilities in Andreoya were destroyed in this war.

7. Select talents.Once again, select talents with wizard qualifications and martial arts qualifications in the Andri Eurasian region.This can not only reassure people, but also expand their talent pool.

8. Accelerate the training speed of the first batch of students of the School of Political Affairs.This year's Yaxia tax exemption time is coming to an end, and the current political structure in various places is also very simple, which will seriously affect their own development plans.

9. Promote fertility.The lesson of being two-on-one this time also reminded myself to be cautious in expanding.If it cannot expand at will, it must give full play to the fertility of the existing people.

10. Accelerate the research on the power source of magic energy.In the absence of research, we can only temporarily use oil and coal as power sources to develop productivity.

11. Give priority to the development of metallurgy and textile industries.

Metallurgy is the core industry of industry, and Yaxia is rich in mineral resources, so it is time to give full play to its advantages.

As for the textile industry, with the "Jenny Textile Machine" he drew, it should be enough for Yaxia's textiles to be dumped in the Northern Continent.

12. Take the time to go to Vault Province to find the space node connected to the Hell of Jealousy.My own industrialization plan urgently needs a batch of free and cheap labor.

These twelve items are the core items that Zhong Ming sorted out in order of importance.

Zhong Ming tapped the five fingers of his right hand on the table in turn, squeezed his forehead with his left hand, took a deep breath, and called Ryan.

"Ryan, I need you to do something."

"Your will is my direction." Ryan, who has experienced the war, has obviously matured a lot.

"Well," Zhong Ming patted him on the shoulder and said gratifiedly, "Ryan, I have seen your contribution in this war. You did a good job in intelligence work. After this time, you should have your own family crest."

When Ryan heard that he would also become a nobleman, he was a little excited, but he calmed down quickly.

"Ryan, I transferred a group of students and priests from the Government Affairs Council from Yashai, recruited people to provide relief with work, spread the faith and spread the glory of the crown, and can also sharpen the abilities of these people, which can be regarded as killing three birds with one stone.

But this is a fat job. Last time Yaxia built roads and infrastructure, you still have the memory of the corrupt officials who were arrested in the dungeon, right?
This requires you to keep an eye on this group of people! "

"Yes!" Ryan thought of the weird things he had dealt with, and replied seriously.

Zhong Ming nodded: "Then, I still need you to verify the military achievements reported to me by Salt in this war for me.

Military merit is the key to Yaxia's vigorous combat effectiveness, and there is no room for error! "

Don't believe in the morals of the devil, this is the experience of blood and tears passed down by the wizards.

Even though Sart's life was always in his own hands, Zhong Ming didn't fully believe the results he reported.

"Understood!" Ryan nodded.

"Finally, I still need you to help me find out the political situation in Capote County. I need the detailed information of all their baron and above nobles."

Ryan responded again that he would definitely do it.

After Ryan went out to do errands, Zhong Ming thought about it, and summoned the heads of the three families who surrendered, Saba, Karber, and Levin, and Lukas who facilitated this matter.

After a while, the four hurried to the study in Changle Castle.

"Your Majesty." The four of them saluted Zhong Ming in an orderly manner.

That's right, in order to integrate into Asshai, these four have already converted to the Church of Fortune with understanding.

As a believer, it is no problem to call Zhong Ming, who is the Pope, His Majesty, regardless of whether Asshai has reached the standard of the kingdom.

"Sit." Zhong Ming signaled them to sit down.

The world of Zoya does not have those annoying unspoken rules of the Blue Star Dragon Kingdom, and the four of them generously found a chair and sat down.

"I came to see you this time because I want to learn something about the ocean from you." Zhong Ming said straightforwardly.

Zhong Mingqu roughly calculated the current situation of grain reserves and currency reserves. The currency reserves are still very large, so much that the infrastructure needs to be released again; but the grain reserves are somewhat insufficient.

Andre Oya's summer harvest this year can be regarded as being completely wiped out by the war, and there is no hope.As for the autumn harvest, because the war just ended and the farming season was missed, we can't count on it.

Therefore, the food rations for the [-] million people for half a year this year have to be met by Zhong Ming's grain reserves.

Relief with work also costs materials.

Calculated at 1kg per person per day, that is 40 million kg per day, or 2400 tons. For half a year, six months and [-] days per month, a total of more than [-] million tons of grain is needed.

And this also includes the rations of the 100 million standing army that he is about to recruit, and the consumption of the 12 warriors' extraordinary army.

The consumption of this group of people is only a lot more than that of nearly [-] million civilians.

In this way, the food in his hands can be regarded as precarious, and he can barely survive this year.

In case of unexpected situations such as wars and natural disasters, you will starve to death everywhere!
Buying food is a way, but after the annexation of Andreia this time, the neighboring countries must be full of fear of themselves, needless to say.This path is obviously likely to have expected risks.

With grain in hand, don't panic in my heart.

In order to solve this problem, support his own development plan and encourage family planning, Zhong Ming plans to develop marine resources.

It just so happens that Andrea has a large coastline.

As for whether Sea God Siri will play tricks and sabotage, after all, the ocean is his domain.

Zhong Ming thinks it shouldn't be.

The material world is still quite powerful in suppressing the gods now, and the power of the gods is transmitted from the astral world to the material world, which consumes a lot.

If He wants to destroy his ocean development plan, the divine power consumed will be an unbearable astronomical figure.

Lukas, the smartest of the four, answered Zhong Ming: "Your Majesty, it's like this..."

Listening to their reply, Zhong Ming fell into deep thought.

It's not that Andre Oya has no ambition to develop the ocean at all, but he can't do it.

There are various sea tribes in the ocean, and many sea tribes are extremely hostile to humans' meddling in the ocean.

Andre Oya's 2000-year national luck has also opened up a safe fishing range within [-] miles of the coastline, and accidents often occur.

However, it is said that after a certain generation of Flana family members married the powerful sea clan mermaid in the deep sea, they obtained a safe shipping route from Andreoia to the central and eastern parts of the mainland.

This is also the confidence that Ansos Flanaur has the money to build his palace complex so extravagantly.

However, Zhong Ming has killed the Flanner family and there is only one person left. Can the mermaids let Yaxia continue to use this sea route?
