Chapter 941 Food Planning


Chapter 941 Food Planning

The construction capabilities of the elves are actually average. Even considering their work efficiency, they can be said to be weak.

Therefore, the construction of the giant eagle training ground was not complicated. According to the description in the ancient scrolls, a construction team was dispatched and the construction was completed quickly.

This was the first day that the Giant Eagle officially started training. After Zhou Xu came over to briefly inspect the situation, he quickly turned around and left.

After all, it was his first day at work, and he was already new to the business. If he stayed there any longer, the training staff would be too nervous, and basically there would be no need to do this day's work.

By the time Zhou Xu returned to Qinzheng Palace, Huo Qubing and Li Bowen had already started work.

Zhou Xu did not hesitate and quickly sat down at his desk, picked up a document and looked through it.

This is a document sent from the Ministry of Agriculture, which provides a detailed report on the food situation in various regions and cities within their territory.

Although this year in Xinnan District, grain production has completely returned to normal levels.

But due to the war in the southern border and the New Taipei District, it is really not possible to say how abundant their internal food is.

All we can say is that we should tighten our belts, eat when we need to eat, and save when we need to save, so that we won’t cause any famine.

Normally speaking, after the next spring, after the rat people in the south are defeated, their internal food pressure will be significantly reduced.

If we really want to completely recover, according to the current situation, we have to wait for New Taipei District to resume food productivity.

But this is really a bit difficult, and it probably won’t be solved in the next one or two years.

Because the situation in New Taipei District is different from that of New South District.

There are generally no problems with the city layout in Xinnan District. After a wave of rectifications within each city, it will basically be able to start operating normally.

As for further reconstruction, we can wait until later.

As for the New Taipei District, just as Zhou Xu had seen during his inspection, there was a problem with the internal city layout. The entire area basically needed major changes.

Preliminary estimates indicate that it will take three years to complete large-scale rectification of this area. This is still assuming that their labor force is concentrated and the efficiency is high enough.

In this way, if we want food, relying on New Taipei District to restore food productivity will not work in a short time.

Zhou Xu, who knew this, turned his attention directly to Pingyuan Farm.

Even now, Pingyuan Farm is their farm with the largest land area and the highest grain output in Dazhou!

With their development in the Great Zhou Dynasty over the years, the fields of Pingyuan Farm have also been continuously reclaimed.

In addition, they started to grow fruits a few years ago and also started to raise meat poultry such as chickens, ducks and pigs. At this time, the internal land has been almost used by them, and the remaining land has not been cultivated. There are only three or four pieces of land.

Seeing this, Zhou Xu also waved his pen and directly instructed the Ministry of Agriculture headed by Zhao Geng to reclaim all the remaining land on the plain farm for food cultivation.

Even on this basis, he felt that he should find another suitable place and build a farm.

As for the location, it will be on the southern border.

On the one hand, the climate and environment are suitable. At this time, their southern territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty is mainly composed of tropical and subtropical areas, and the climate is very suitable for agricultural development.

On the other hand, Zhou Xu is counting and counting, and there is still a large area of ​​undeveloped land in the southern border that can be used for him to establish a farm. As for other areas, they have basically become a bit crowded due to development and construction.

So he now plans to concentrate more large-scale farms to the south.

The reason he didn't have this idea in the early years was because he had to consider the issue of distance, or food transportation.

In the past, if the grain produced by Pingyuan Farm was to be transported to Xinnan District, it would have to be transported over mountains and ridges. The transportation cost would be exorbitant. It would not be possible to transport much, which was unrealistic.

For Zhou Xu at that time, it was best for each region to have its own farm, so that food could be sent to various cities in the region in a short time to ensure that there would be no problems with supply.

But the situation is different now, they have opened the waterway!

Now that large lake has been officially named 'Qingshui Lake' by Zhou Xu.

Qingshui Lake is huge and connects the north and the south. Starting from the port of Green Forest City, cargo ships can reach the southern factory area directly in less than two hours.

Not far from the Nanjing Factory is Pingyuan Farm!

In other words, in the future, the grain from Pingyuan Farm only needs to be transported to the factory port for loading, and then it can be easily sent to Xinnan District in a short time to provide food for Xinnan District, and the transportation cost is not at all How much is needed.

Knowing this, Zhou Xuli sorted out the food transportation route in his mind, as well as the current food distribution within the Zhou Dynasty.

The first is the area of ​​Black Moon City. Since Black Moon City itself has a large area of ​​farmland being cultivated and its grain production capacity is also good, including the grassland area, there is no problem for Black Moon City to provide food for the surrounding area. of.

The population in the Gunshan area is small, but the resources are abundant, and they are completely self-sufficient.

Even if there is any unexpected situation, whether it is the farm in Green Forest City or the farm in Black Moon City, food can be delivered in the shortest possible time, so you can rest assured.

At this stage, New Taipei District has the worst grain production capacity. It has basically none, because all the manpower in that area has been invested in large-scale reconstruction projects. We just want to complete the reconstruction there as soon as possible, so that New Taipei District Get on track.

So now all food in New Taipei District is transported from New Nan District.

But as everyone knows about the situation in Xinnan District, it is just enough for oneself to eat, and it is basically impossible to store much food every year.

When it is necessary to fully supply food to the New Taipei District, at least half of the food in the New South District will be emptied.

Under this premise, the insufficient parts of the New South District will naturally have to be transported by water from Pingyuan Farm.

According to the grain production capacity of Pingyuan Farm, after all the remaining land is reclaimed in the spring of next year, it will be able to supply food to the Southern Border and New South District at the same time.

But from Zhou Xu's perspective, the food supply is too tight. As long as something unexpected happens, there will not be enough food immediately, and trouble will inevitably arise.

With this in mind, and with a mentality of nip in the bud, this new farm was naturally set up.

He thought about it for a while, and decided to locate the new farm relatively centrally in the south, or close to the southern fortress.

This arrangement is based on the fact that they will occupy the territory of the Rotten Clan in the future, and that territory will probably also need food supplies by then.

To put it simply, this newly established farm will become the core of grain production in the southern region!

In addition to supplying the rainforest areas, the food from the plain farms is also transported by water transport to various areas in the Zhou Dynasty that need food.

After sorting out the ideas in his mind, Zhou Xu drew up the planned route map in a few seconds. After checking it again, he nodded with satisfaction.
