Chapter 663: The crisis of heaven - the population is about to explode! (please book, please vote)

On the morning of the eighth day of the second month of the ninth year of Tianli, the city of Tianjing was sunny. In the newly built small hall in the Zongli Yamen, twelve gas lights illuminate the interior, and a government work conference for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is being held!

In addition to the "Gods" who are in Tianjin, those who are sitting in this small hall are the ministers of various ministries of the Kingdom of Heaven, as well as the governors from the towns and the general managers in charge of people's livelihood and economy in various provinces.

With the surrender of Shanxi and Mongolia and the surrender of Yunnan and Guizhou Governor Zhu Ba in the seventh year of Tianli, the Yunnan-Guizhou pacification war commanded by the eighth year was won. Today, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has controlled the entire China except Shaanxi, Gansu, Plateau, and the Western Regions.

In order to more effectively manage such a large territory and so many people, since the ninth year of Tianli, Luo Yaoguo held a government work meeting every spring so that local governments can report on their achievements last year and then discuss the work priorities of the new year. Of course, we also have to coordinate the affairs between provinces, central and local governments.

The first report was Zuo Zongtang, the governor of Zhili. He slowly unfolded the yellow silk report from Northern Zhili Province and spoke in a Hunan Mandarin saying: "Northern Zhili Province has reclaimed 1.2 million mu of wasteland this year, and the cotton output has increased by 30% compared with last year. Tianjin Weaving Layout has set up eight new spinning workshops and four weaving workshops, and the cotton output has increased...::.

1?

"Old Zuo, are you the first to say this? "The newly appointed King of Yan Qin Rigang laughed and patted the account books of the three northeastern provinces. "Last year, three million acres of black soil were newly reclaimed outside the pass! Sorghum and soybeans piled up so that the granary door could not be closed!"

Shi Dakai's father-in-law Huang Yukun showed his account in Guangdong and Guangxi without being outdone: "Guangdong added fifteen new sugar factories last year, and Guangxi's tung oil production is :::::

"

"Hahaha, it's our Yunnan-Guizhou!" The Yunnan-Guizhou Governor Zhu Ba stood up with a smile and clasped his fists at Luo Yaoguo, "Prime Minister,

Fortunately, the general will not be humiliated. The two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou have beheaded 30,000 yuan and reduced 70,000 yuan! The chieftains in Dali City will now recite the "True Agreement" sooner or later!"

Amid the laughter of the whole hall, Hong Xuanjiao, the Speaker of the Chinese People's Congress, hit the sandalwood table with a small wooden hammer, making a crisp sound: "If you want to tell me, the most pleasant thing is that the number of residents counted by the Ministry of Revenue has exceeded 40 million!"

When Luo Yaoguo heard the number "Four Thousand Ten Thousands", he looked up at the huge "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Full Map" on the wall, and his knuckles gently knocked on the table. He was already familiar with these numbers. Sichuan added more than 600,000 Dingkou and more than 1 million in Huguang. Even Yunnan and Guizhou, which had just been extinguished, had an additional 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. Adding one piece across the country, an increase of several million last year! According to this momentum, within five years, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would have to emerge under the total population of France.

Moreover, according to Luo Yaoguo's estimates, the population growth rate of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will remain high for a long time in the future!

This is the "Every-Tian Dividend"!

Because "Jotian" gives people who would have starved to death a meal, and gives men who could not have married a wife the condition to get married, and of course, it also allows the baby who would have been drowned to survive...:::

"Grain." Luo Yaoguo suddenly spoke, laughter stopped in the room, "How much is the average per mu yield in each province last year?"

Cheng Fupei's Nanzhili account book was filled with noise: "The best paddy fields are three and a half stones, and the dry land is one and two stones...:

"That's the number during the Qianlong period?" Luo Yaoguo's tone was a bit solemn, "Thirty million people had enough food to eat, are there enough food for 40 million people? Four hundred million people were enough food...\n.\n. What about those 50 million people, sixty million people, and seventy million people? You guys, all dynasties have regarded population growth as a great thing because when they founded the country, they experienced a chaotic world with a population reduction of half or even more. When they founded the country, the whole country had tens of millions of mouths, and it was okay to increase a few times. And our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom founded for 400 million, and four times was 200 million, and three times was 160 million! But how many fields can we cultivate across the country? Is it enough per capita acre?"

The atmosphere in the synagogue suddenly became solemn.

Most of the entrepreneurs in the Kingdom of Heaven are from farmers. They know very well how many kilograms of grain can be used for a mu of land. They also know that one of the important reasons for the chaos in the world is that there are many people and few lands!

Feng Yunshan frowned and said, "How about imports? Last year's Annan Mi...:::

"How much surplus grain is Annan in total?" Zhejiang General Manager Wang Yi smiled bitterly, "In the past two years, Guangnan and Annan have starved to death every year!"

Wei Changhui smiled and said, "Why don't you want to fight Nanyang anymore? The rice from Javan Kingdom.:::

"Wei Juncai has gained a foothold," Hubei general manager Xiao Chaofu shook his head, "You can't search too much. Besides, how much food can you produce in the big place on Java? The deserted island in the south of Java is quite large...:...

Are you also interested in Australia? Luo Yaoguo looked at Xiao Chaogui's brother and thought to himself: "Oceania is very good. It not only has vast land, but also rich iron ore and coal mines, and has a small population...:::. It is the new continent prepared by God of Heavenly Father for the Chinese, but it was snatched away by the hateful white skin! But now the British Empire is not something that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can deal with..."

"How about India?" Luo Yaoguo did not mention Australia, so he had to turn the topic to India. "Bangladesh produces a lot of rice,

Northwest India is rich in wheat!”

"But India just finished the war...::.:" Hunan General Manager Zeng Yuzhen was interrupted by Anhui General Manager Zhu Jiutao's sneer: "Isn't the Wing King helping to fight? It's not an exaggeration for us to occupy a piece of land in India to grow rice!"

"Ahem......" Luo Yaoguo quickly interrupted this important minister of the Heavenly Kingdom who was born as a leader of the Heavenly Kingdom. "My Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Britain are allies!"

Maria interjected with a smile, "We can buy rice from India...:::. We can speed up the expansion of the South China Sea, and buy rice from India to supplement the domestic gap, and at the same time see if we can export more people to the New World. Don't just focus on North America, South America is also good."

Luo Yaoguo nodded, and now he couldn't think of a better way...\n...\nThis is all there is to do!

When the day turned dark, only Luo Yaoguo's core team was left in the chamber. Senior consultant Nathaniel Rothschild made a suggestion while smoking a cigar: "Jacob Sassoon is willing to be our comprador, on the condition that the Shanghai Stock Exchange will remove him from a bad debt of 800,000 taels."

"Let him dream!" HSBC Chief Officer Wu Chaoyue shook his head like a rattle, "Is he going to want the exchange to pay for him?"

Zhao Wenlie, the chief magistrate of the Prime Minister's Office, opened a secret report sent by Shi Dakai: "India is now hungry and hatching everywhere, and hundreds of thousands of people are starving to death every year::::

F

Nathaniel shook his head: "But India is still exporting a large amount of food. This shows that the price of food in India is relatively low and exports are profitable. In addition, the income from growing cotton in India is better! Therefore, Indian landlords tend to grow cotton and export food...::. Starving hundreds of thousands of people every year only means that the poor in India does not have the money to eat. The free economy is so cruel..."

"Actually...::...there are other ways!" In the corner, Weng Tong-shu, a graduate student from the Department of Psychiatry (Chemistry) of Taiping University, suddenly cleared his throat.

This "top scholar" in history chose the science and psychiatry department after being admitted to Taiping University. He couldn't choose the liberal arts department!

His liberal arts was at the level of the top scholar, so what else could he learn? He had no choice but to study chemistry and continued to study for graduate school.

However, Luo Yaoguo also knew that he was a fan of the officialdom and did not delay him from becoming an official. He appointed him as the secretary of the Prime Minister's Office early on and gave him a fourth-rank rank.

"Teacher Benny Rous is recently extracting superphosphate from the waste slag of steel mills, extracting ammonium sulfate from the waste materials of coking plants, and also using Indian saltpeter to produce ammonium saltpeter...:::

"

"Saltpeter War...::::" Luo Yaoguo suddenly interrupted Weng Tong's words.

"Prime Minister, what war did you say?" Navy Minister Wang Yan became excited when he heard about the war.

Luo Yaoguo suddenly laughed: "Wang Yan, the Admiralty Department can start to imitate the Glorious Class Iron Crafts...::...Three years later, I need the Glorious Class to gain sea control rights on the Pacific coast of South America!"

"South, South America?" Maria was stunned. "Your Highness, what is the Pacific coast of South America?"

"There are saltpeter, bird droppings...and rubber!"

The morning mist in London has not yet dissipated, and Moore's carriage has been parked at the East India Pier. Sir Wenxian's calfskin shoes are stepping on the wet pier, leaving a string of clear footprints.

"Karl, you would never have imagined it," Wen Xian pointed to the black smoke-filled wooden cruise ship in the distance. "The steam engine of the Queen of the East is Glasgow's latest product, and it only takes twenty-three to cross the Indian Ocean...

?

"I only care about North Korea's coal mines... I need mining equipment." Moore tightened the collar of his tweed coat, and his eyes swept over the mountains of mechanical parts on the deck, "In addition, those Bessema converters...::

"Don't worry, it's all installed in the bottom cabin!" Wen Xian patted his shoulder and suddenly lowered his voice, "By the way, the real sword of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Shi Dakai, is in Kolkata, and his 20,000 troops are heading to Java in batches." He blinked, "With the speed of the Queen of the East, you might be able to see this legendary general."

Friedrich was commanding the coolie to carry his and Moore's baby typewriter. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Then we have to hurry up and hear that General Shi is the first-class general in the world. I am looking forward to meeting him."

Bai Siwen waved goodbye to his two sons, and also said in Chinese: "You must study hard...:::. Otherwise, His Highness the Prince would not recommend you to Oxford and Cambridge!"

As the whistle roared, Moore finally looked at the Tower of London in the mist. When the cruise ship slowly left the shore, Wenxian shouted something on the pier, and pointed to the River Tax. Friedrich leaned against the railing and turned toward Wenxian's finger: "Look!"

A three-masted sailboat flying the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom flag was sailing into the mouth of the Tashi River. The deck was filled with wooden boxes marked with the words "Jingdezhen". Bai Siwen raised his telescope and looked at it, muttering in a low voice: "It's Jingdezhen's blue and white porcelain, right? Hehe, Jingdezhen is going to compete with Royal Dalton for dinner...::::
