Chapter 12 Development Limits: 8 People Still Not Enough
Zhu Yong put his arm around Zhao Zhu.
"Alright, Zhu Zi, don't overthink it. We'll work for whoever feeds us, why worry so much?"
"I heard that some monsters have appeared in the tree farm because it blocks out the sunlight, and we need to go and deal with them."
"Go and resolve this, so people won't say we're just freeloaders."
Zhao Zhu nodded and immediately took out an iron sword and shield from his inventory, then headed to the tree farm first.
Seeing this, Zhu Yong led the remaining villagers and guards to the tree farm.
……
When we returned to the Qianqing Palace.
It was already close to midnight.
However, Zhu Youjian did not rest, but instead went to the dragon desk.
Wang Chengen stood to the side, grinding ink.
Zhu Youjian picked up the imperial brush and pondered.
The current arable land area in the Minecraft world should reach four million blocks in two days.
Four million grids is probably the limit that can be managed.
A total of eight hundred refugees were recruited.
Five hundred of them were responsible for cultivating and reclaiming farmland.
Four million plots of farmland, with five hundred people responsible for cultivating, sowing, and harvesting.
This also means that each person is responsible for planting and harvesting 8,000 squares.
The wheat ripens in four to five game days.
Since it's currently in full manual mode, this means that each player needs to complete 2,000 planting and harvesting blocks per game day.
In theory, the maximum number of grids that can be planted or harvested by one person in one game day should be 1,600.
This takes into account satiety levels and the time required to store seeds and wheat in the box.
The actual limit should be around 1,400 grids.
After calculation.
Zhu Youjian ultimately concluded that there was a shortage of manpower.
There is no need to expand the scale of arable land.
It may even require reducing some arable land.
Otherwise, there will be a severe shortage of manpower.
No matter how much land you cultivate, it's useless if no one takes care of it.
Once the current arable land is sufficient to sustain the daily needs of 800 people, there is no need to indiscriminately expand the arable land.
Farms, for example, should also be gradually established.
Chicken farms, pig farms, cattle farms, horse farms, etc.
Cattle farms and horse farms are the preferred choices.
Raising cattle can produce milk, which can help counteract abnormal conditions.
The benefits of raising horses are self-evident.
Horses were not only a means of transportation, but also essential supplies for war.
However, it is necessary to build these things.
We still have to take it one step at a time.
It's not too late to recruit refugees after we've completely absorbed these 800 people.
After drafting a development plan, Zhu Youjian changed his clothes and rested.
……
The following evening, at the Wen residence.
The servant hurriedly entered the mansion.
It just so happened that Wen Tiren had finished his day's work and returned home.
I just took a break.
Then he saw his servant hurriedly walk into the house.
"Sir, this is a letter from Commander Peng."
Wen Tiren took the envelope.
His gaze skipped over the honorifics and went straight to the main text.
[The Grand Secretary is right. On the night His Majesty fainted, Wang Zhixin, the Director of the Eastern Depot, temporarily took over the defense of the nine gates of the capital.]
During this period, a group of people did indeed secretly leave the city. Their identities and purpose are beyond the knowledge of a mere commander like myself.
However, judging from the direction, it should be heading towards Baoding.
Wang Zhixin, the Director of the Eastern Depot.
Wang Zhixin was one of the emperor's core eunuchs, so it was remarkable that he was able to make way for him.
There must be a connection between these two things.
During the Ming Dynasty, neither officials nor ordinary people were allowed to move around freely, except for refugees.
Ordinary people needed official travel permits as proof of their identity.
For officials on business trips, a written agreement is required as proof.
Both of these credentials usually have a specific purpose.
By following this line, we can roughly find out where this secret team went.
After Wen Tiren's thorough screening, the destination was finally identified.
Liangxiang County.
……
Wuying Hall.
To show that he had failed in his filial duty due to the destruction of his ancestral tombs, Zhu Youjian moved his residence to the Wuying Hall.
At the same time, he also stopped wearing the dragon robe and instead wore plain clothes.
These were things that should have been done after the sacrificial ceremony at the Imperial Ancestral Temple, but they were delayed because I was feigning illness.
"Your Majesty, both the Wen Party and the Donglin Party have sent people to Liangxiang. Should we go and stop them?"
Zhu Youjian stood up.
"The truth will eventually come out. Since they want to know what I'm thinking, let them investigate."
"How is Yang Sichang doing? Has he set off for Beijing?"
The secret of MC.
Only what you think will be exposed to the public.
If they don't want to, they won't know even if they rack their brains.
"Yang Sichang has replied and has already set off back to Beijing."
……
three days later.
Yang Sichang returned to the capital dressed in plain clothes.
Zhu Youjian valued Yang Sichang quite a bit.
He made a special trip to the palace gate to welcome Yang Sichang.
Although Yang Sichang was not good at fighting, his strategic vision was unparalleled.
Yang Sichang, dressed in plain clothes, arrived at the palace gate and immediately spotted Zhu Youjian.
When Yang Sichang saw that Zhu Youjian had actually come to the palace gate to greet him, he immediately burst into tears.
"Your Majesty! Why have you come in person?!"
"I have not seen you for a long time and I miss you dearly. I heard that you have returned to the capital. I originally wanted to go to the city gate to greet you, but Grand Secretary Wen said that I should not personally greet you at the city gate unless you have made great contributions."
"Therefore, I will have no choice but to greet you at the palace gates."
Wen Tiren stood to the side in silence.
When did I say such a thing? I only said that Yang Sichang had no merit, and it was against the rules for the emperor to personally welcome him.
Of course, he certainly didn't want the emperor to go to the city gate to greet Yang Sichang.
With so many people and eyes in the city, the emperor's personal welcome of Yang Sichang would increase Yang Sichang's prestige.
The fact that the emperor personally welcomed Yang Sichang signifies the emperor's favor towards him. Even the emperor himself did not receive this treatment, so why should Yang Sichang be entitled to it?
Yang Sichang wiped away his tears and said with undisguised joy, "Your Majesty, I will certainly live up to your kindness."
Zhu Youjian nodded with a smile.
"Let's go inside the palace to talk."
On his way to the Wuying Hall, Yang Sichang said somewhat apologetically, "Your Majesty, I have a request that you would be so kind as to make, and I hope that Your Majesty will grant it."
"Oh? Please speak freely, my dear minister."
Immediately afterwards, Yang Sichang said, "My father has passed away. According to the rules, I should observe three years of mourning. However, the country is in distress and needs our attention. I cannot be both loyal to my country and filial to my parents."
"But I do not wish to fail in my filial duty, so I wish to wear plain clothes to court."
When I heard this sentence.
Li Kangxian, the Minister of Rites who was standing nearby, immediately said, "Your Majesty, this is against the rules."
"Wearing mourning clothes to court—what kind of decorum is that?"
"Public and private matters should be clearly separated."
Faced with this request, Zhu Youjian ignored Li Kangxian's objection and nodded in agreement.
"With such filial piety in you, my dear minister, how could I bear to refute you?"
Li Kangxian was also somewhat anxious: "Your Majesty, no matter how much you value Minister Yang, you cannot indulge him like this!"
"If you wear plain clothes to court, what will the officials think? If you disregard etiquette and dress arbitrarily for every little thing, what's the point of having etiquette?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Sichang sighed inwardly, knowing that this was somewhat of a dilemma.
He gave a wry smile and said, "Your Majesty, please assume that I, a civil official, did not say such a thing. Minister Li's words are correct. We cannot break the rules because of me."
Wen Tiren and the others remained silent.
They wanted to know whether Zhu Youjian had succumbed to the constraints of propriety, or...
After a moment of contemplation.
"Who says Minister Yang was acting out of personal filial piety? The ancestral tombs in Fengyang were destroyed, and Minister Yang wore mourning clothes to express his grief. How is that unreasonable?"
"Besides, what's wrong with wearing plain clothes to court? Minister Li, I also wear plain clothes. Are you saying that Minister Yang is not following etiquette, or are you referring to me?"
