The Three Kingdoms began with island farming

Chapter 593: Go to Tianzehua
Throughout history, many huge engineering projects have been evaluated as having benefits in the present but for future generations to come.

Zhengguo Canal, Qin Great Wall, Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal...

All of them were created with the hard work of countless contemporary people and have greatly influenced the development of national strength.

But the benefits it brings will last for thousands of years.

Whether it is right or wrong to incur suffering for the present generation in exchange for a prosperous world for future generations is difficult to say.

The key lies in degree.

The more he experienced, the more clearly Tian Ze felt it.

Many things in this world cannot be simply judged by right or wrong, but are more about gains and losses.

Tian Ze once personally set such a question in the scientific examination.

In a village, there are hundreds of households, more than half of which are poor. If the court allocates a million dollars, how would you use it?

Is it to help the poor? Is it to divide the wealth equally? Is it to run a business? Is it to venture into business?
There is no right or wrong answer, just whether it is appropriate or not.

How should ordinary people feel when we help the poor?

If we divide the wealth equally, will we all continue to be poor?

Regardless of how much money one makes from running an industry, will the people be willing to do so if there is no return in the short term? Can they survive?

If you take risks in business and make money, it’s fine. But what if you lose everything?
This question is actually a dead end.

A skilled cook cannot cook without rice. Without money and resources, even if you have extraordinary powers, you cannot display them.

Even if you are a capable official, you need a certain amount of capital, otherwise you can only take risks on the edge of the knife or walk on the edge of the law to seek your first pot of gold.

And for this question, Tian Ze is the best person in the world at answering it.

Very simple.

If one million becomes eight million, wouldn't it be better if we could do everything?
It's not like other people haven't had this idea, but they can't do it, whereas Tian Ze can actually do it easily.

Creating fertile farmland out of thin air and increasing productivity eightfold is Tian Ze's greatest confidence, and also the strongest trump card that Da Qi dares to play.

Chen Gong had also faced such a difficult problem before. There were too many things to do, but there were only so many slaves. The cost of Han people was too high and there were too many considerations in using them. How should he distribute them?

They are all national policies, each one is very important, and it is impossible to calculate the total.

However, with these 30 million foreign slaves, Chen Gong was finally able to let go.

The initial water network plan, which was originally scheduled to be completed in ten years, was shortened to three years, connecting all counties. The town-level water network construction plan was also planned.

Tian Ze, who was traveling and fishing, was innocently dragged into the incident and was pulled out to continue drawing.

However, Tian Ze didn't say anything about it, just sighed.

What a hard life!

The construction of this water network is a fundamental national policy for the Great Qi.

In the future, Tianze will eventually leave. When that time comes, without eight times the productivity and the fertile land that has been squandered, the "water network" will be needed to play a role.

According to the calculations of Tian Ze, Chen Gong and others, it was only after the preliminary water network was completed.

The domestic arable land area will increase by at least 50%, and all of it will be extremely fertile land suitable for farming. Grain production will also increase by about two times.

In addition, Tian Ze had already been found by the fleet across the sea, and after Liu Bei surrendered, he began to promote the planting of high-yield crops such as corn and sweet potatoes.

It can be said that Da Qi no longer has to worry about its food problem.

It is definitely not difficult to carry a population of 300 to 400 million.

If the territories of Sindhu, Northern Huns and Kushans were added, the number could be doubled or tripled.

Moreover, the many canals and reservoirs contained in the completed water network will continue to improve the overall climate of Da Qi, forming a virtuous circle.

Abnormal weather will be reduced, drought and flood disasters will no longer be difficult to solve, and the amount of fertile land will increase. Not only that, where the water network extends, the transportation speed can be increased by more than five times, the transportation cost will be reduced by more than 90%, and the message transmission speed will be increased by more than two times.

This means that Da Qi’s productivity, mobilization capabilities, disaster resistance, cultural radiation, etc. will be extremely terrifying.

Even without Tian Ze's existence, it can easily maintain its current rule and even extend its tentacles to Central Asia and even West Asia.

Moreover, the national destiny of Da Qi will be greatly extended.

Combined with the internal reforms in recent years, it is theoretically possible to support it for a thousand years.

This is not the limit.

Abundant food, internal stability and a vibrant society mean that technology can develop unbridled.

Especially with the unification of the Central Plains, the rules of this world seemed to be completely relaxed, the invisible barriers were broken, and gunpowder was developed.

Although it is still a long way from being practical, Tian Ze is very clear about what it means.

The age of technology is coming.

Of course, Chen Gong and others did not see that far, but what they are thinking about now is.

The world can finally stop relying entirely on Tian Ze.

"Your Majesty is a sage monarch unparalleled in the history. Da Qi was created by Your Majesty, but Da Qi cannot function without Your Majesty." Chen Gong said meaningfully.

When Zulong died, the land was divided.

Although the tragedy of the Qin Dynasty did not happen to the Great Qi Dynasty, after all, the contradictions were not as deep.

However, Chen Gong and others did not want Da Qi to go downhill after Tian Ze left.

Heroes can create the times, but that is only temporary.

The rise and fall of the world depends on one person. This situation itself is pathological and abnormal, and is bound to go wrong.

Even Tian Ze has realized this now, so he has begun to reduce his excessive interference and help to Da Qi as much as possible.

Nowadays in the country, Tian Ze rarely uses magic such as the Soil Moisturizing Technique and the Spirit Rain Technique.

Of course, Tian Ze never stopped helping the Seven Kingdoms to "cheat".

Because without "cheating", they would never be able to complete their mission and goals.

Moreover, although they are nominally under the command of Da Qi, they will set up their own factions sooner or later. Tian Ze's influence on them has nothing to do with Da Qi.

Listening to Chen Gong's sigh, Dong Zhao frowned slightly.

He did not agree with this statement.

Even after the Great Qi unified the country, factional differences within the court never ceased.

It’s just that the factions today have changed from what they were before, and are more complicated.

Conservatives, radicals, neutrals; royalists, constitutionalists, democrats...

Even though Tian Ze has been trying to reduce his influence, Dong Zhao and others still firmly believe that Tian Ze is special and should not be included in the scope of restricted power.

This world was conquered by Tian Ze. The constitutional monarchy system can be used to restrain later emperors, but how can they have the face to restrain the current emperor?

Moreover, the world would certainly be different with or without His Majesty.

Without His Majesty, the development of the world will inevitably slow down several times.

However, they have argued about this matter countless times, and no one can convince the other.

As they were discussing serious matters at the moment, he had no time to argue with Chen Gong.

"Waterways in the southwest and northwest must be put on the agenda. And, if possible, I think we can also try to build a railway in Kunlun Mountain."
