Chapter 227 Looting Population and Dawuyang District

Since Wu Sangui couldn't be beaten to death in a hurry, he might as well make plans from other places.

And in this world, what is the most important thing?No doubt it will be the population!
Even though Qianwei's vassal state only has three counties, it has a large population of 370 million.

The reason for this is because of the size of Qianwei's vassal state.

The area of ​​the entire Qianwei vassal state is roughly equivalent to half of Qianwei County, so if we really want to divide it, the Qianwei vassal state can have two more counties!

For example, Hanyang County is now a veritable big county, even bigger than Nanguang County.

According to a rough estimate, the population of Hanyang County may have reached 120 million.

It is naturally impossible for such a large population to relocate, but no matter how you say it, more than 50 people will be relocated.

If Wu Sangui's response was slower, it would be no problem to move an extra [-].

With these populations, the plan of Dawuyang District can be implemented.

In the ancient times when transportation was not convenient, it was very stupid to disperse the population. Even in modern times with highly developed technology, the population of the southeast region was much higher than that of the northwest region.

To what extent is the specific difference?The land area of ​​the southeast only accounts for 43% of the country, but the population accounts for about 94% of the country's population, and this trend is still strengthening.

There are certainly environmental factors, as well as social and economic factors.

To give the simplest example, the same is to build a road. The road on one side can cover 1 people, while the road of the same scale can only cover 1000 people on the other side. It is obvious how to choose. It must be built first to cover the population. Many.

This is the most basic economic common sense. Especially in the ancient times when productivity was low, the human and financial resources required to build roads were even more serious. Is it necessary to build all of them without concentrating the population?
Who can support such a large consumption, which is why there are so many hundreds of thousands or even millions of giant cities in ancient times, isn't it because it is easy to manage and has high economic benefits?
Therefore, Lucheng also plans to follow suit. The Dawuyang District does not intend to put all the population in Wuyang City, but to use the entire Wuyang County as the foundation to concentrate a large number of people here.

Wuyang County is located in a plain area, the land is fertile, and it is the capital, which has natural advantages over other counties.

According to the previous plan, the population of Wuyang County must at least double, that is, 300 million people!
Then, based on the original three cities in Wuyang County, a large number of natural villages and even towns were built around them.

Supplemented by the construction of asphalt roads, if every natural village can be accessed, the potential it can explode is simply unimaginable.

This will also fundamentally change the economic model of the entire Wuyang County. After all, once the population increases, the land per capita will decrease accordingly. Many residents without land can only work in factories, and the efficiency will also be greatly improved.

Lucheng has no intention of changing the small-scale peasant economy that has been in operation for thousands of years. There is no doubt that the small-scale peasant economy is easy to rule.

But nothing will work. The planning of Dawuyang District this time is an experiment. If it is done well, it can not only improve efficiency, but also provide a chance for those poor people who have no land to make a living.

If you can make a living, you don't have to worry about them rebelling, which is an important supplement to the ruling system.

In the future, the entire Qianwei County will form several classes, and the highest class will naturally be the aristocratic class. This class mainly includes those generals and civil servants who have made military exploits.

Then there are the gentry who own a lot of land, and then there are the rich peasants and small peasants.

As for the poorest people who have no land at the bottom, the number of these people is not small. After all, it is just a good wish for the tiller to have his land. Throughout history, no dynasty can achieve this.

According to the statistics of the Household Registration Department, the population of extremely poor people in Qianwei County has reached 120 million, accounting for about 15.00% of the total population. The vast majority of them are tenant households who have formal jobs and can really move to Wuyang County. On the contrary, there are very few people, and 30 people are too much.

The gap is huge, and now Lucheng has moved most of the factories to Wuyang County.

It includes furniture factories, stone factories, brick kilns, iron ore processing factories, textile factories, garment factories, farms, fish processing factories, etc., and even official fields, cotton fields, and silkworm factories all need workers.

With the encouragement of Lucheng, the willingness of the people to start factories is extremely high, and most of them are modern people.

Some time ago, there was even a cigarette factory, which was named Wuyang Brand.

Although there are no finished products yet, and some raw materials and technologies have not yet been solved, such a factory with no technical content can be completed in a year at most after the tobacco planting is completed.

Therefore, there is not much time left for Lucheng. Now that the policy has been posted on the bulletin board, if the supporting facilities are not resolved by then, it will be a slap in the face.

These supporting measures include paving of roads, training of workers, planning of "industrial land".

Of course, the most important thing is the workers. After all, small farmers who own land are unlikely to give up their land and go out to "work".

With Qianwei County unable to find workers, the first thing Lucheng thought of was other counties!

Nowadays, the major powers are fighting for years, and many people have lost their land. In addition, Wu Sangui is looking for trouble this time, Lucheng will feel sorry for himself if he doesn't blackmail him.

……

On the other side, after Pang Tong sent [-] soldiers to Nanguang County, he led the rest of the soldiers to wreak havoc in Hanyang County, that is, to "recruit" the population.

Most of the people "recruited" this time will be sent to Wuyang County, where they will be trained intensively and dispersed to various factories.

Since Hanyang County borders Nanguang County, the recruitment went smoothly this time.

In just one day, 20 people were recruited. During this process, there will inevitably be some obstacles, but Pang Tong is not a kind person. For those who disagree, he is directly dragged to Nanguang County.

Speed ​​is the priority in everything. It is impossible for Wu Sangui to just sit back and watch this happen, and it is certain to come out to obstruct it.

Two days later, after Pang Tong "brought" a population of 50 to Nanguang County, Wu Sangui finally couldn't bear it anymore and directly dispatched an army of [-].

In fact, Wu Sangui was also very helpless. With fewer troops, there was not enough to meet other people's teeth, but with too many, he was afraid that other forces would take advantage of it.

But seeing that the other party was about to hollow out Hanyang County, it was impossible for Wu Sangui to be a coward, so this time he was putting all his eggs in one basket.
