Chapter 153 Great land reclamation, 20 million acres of arable land!(2/2)

It is believed that before food grows in the ground, the territory should not be short of food.

I would be happy to sell some food.

As everyone knows, this treatment will be canceled after the territory is promoted to a county town, and Tang Jing is the only one in the world who knows about this setting.

Tang Jing was so happy to make a fortune in silence that he took the opportunity to start a large-scale food purchase.

Of course, from another perspective, it seems to be very difficult for mainstream lords to promote their territory to a county within the next three months.

There is no need to worry about this or that.

Win-win!!!

In addition to buying, buying, buying, of course Tang Jing did not forget to spend 200,000 gold coins to use the land talisman, which was almost enough to cover Bay County and Macon County.

It is enough to fully develop the wilderness of the two counties.

To know.

Even in modern society, a major grain-producing province may only have 40 to 50 million acres of cultivated land.

Twenty million acres is definitely a lot.

The lack of food in ancient times was not because there was no land, but because most of it was wasteland and there was not enough land reclamation. The cultivated land was basically concentrated in a certain area or a few areas.

The two major regional granaries, the South and the Northeast, have not been fully developed for a long time.

Both Bay County and Macon County are located in alluvial plains, with fertile land and abundant water resources, making them the most suitable areas for vigorous development of agriculture.

Once the 20 million acres of cultivated land is formed, it will become a super large granary.

After full reclamation, the average number of people that can be resettled in each county of Bay County and Macon County is expected to increase from the current 300,000 to 400,000 or even 500,000.

It is not impossible for some wealthy and large counties to gradually increase their population to one million.

This is definitely a great blessing!

This means that even if Chang'an does not expand to the outside world in the future, Bay County and Macon County alone are expected to support at least 15 million people.

Don't forget.

The combined area of ​​the two counties exceeds 30,000 square kilometers.

They are all worth the land of the three counties of Zunlong Kingdom.

For Chang'an, using the least land to feed the largest population is of course the best policy.

This is not to say that Chang'an is unable to expand externally, but that it is located in an enemy country with enemies everywhere. Every time its territory expands outward, it will face unprecedented pressure.

It will also increase the burden on homeland defense.

In view of this, if the rear area that Changan has worked so hard to build has a profound foundation, of course the richer it is, the better, and the more fully developed it is, the better.

Perfect!!!
