The most arrogant in history

Chapter 861 Young People’s Affairs.

Ye Kun thought for a moment and said, "There is already stable navigation between Izu Island and the Chinese mainland. I suggest that we send educational and medical personnel to serve there.

Adopting a term system and forming a fixed system can also strengthen the relationship between the two sides. "

In the past, Izu Island was very far away.

It was Xiao Dequan who first sent troops to land on this big island.

But now it seems that Izu Island is very close.

Because of the advanced navigation technology, there are steam-powered ships and diesel-powered ships.

Under the current conditions, Ye Kun can completely implement the county system on Izu Island.

Therefore, there is no problem in sending people to serve there to strengthen cross-strait exchanges.

Dai Xi smiled and said, "Yes, select a group of university professors to teach there for a period of five years. After five years, replace them with another group. In this way, the two sides will have constant exchanges, which is better."

"Yes, only by strengthening exchanges between the two sides can we enhance our relationship." Ye Kun nodded and said, "In addition, we should encourage intermarriage between the two sides to further strengthen the ties between the people."

Princess Mingzhu said: "There are also many civilian merchant ships in the Izhou Strait. Some coastal residents have spontaneously immigrated to Izhou Island. Because there is a shortage of land along the coast, and Izhou Island still has large tracts of arable land."

Jiang Yourong smiled and said, "That's great. The emperor is worried that the population of China's nine provinces is too large and the arable land is in short supply."

Everyone drank, ate and chatted casually.

After dinner, Ye Kun accompanied Dai Xi again and talked about some private matters.

Dai Xi asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you really have to go to the Oil Peninsula?"

"I must go. Only if I go can I declare sovereignty and allow the descendants of the Chinese people to control the oil peninsula for generations to come."

"But we are all reluctant to do so."

Dai Xi sighed, "We are on Izu Island and can come back once a year to visit the Emperor and the Empress. Once you go to the Oil Peninsula, it will be difficult for me to come back to see you."

Ye Kun comforted him, "I will come back after I build the Oil Peninsula. Maybe I will go to Izu Island in the future to visit you and see the development of Izu Island."

That night, the two chatted for a long time.

They are also very loving.

The next day, Ye Kun convened a meeting of the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Households participated.

Wei Caiqin also participated.

Qin Chou is already very old, but in good spirits.

Ye Kun said, "Mr. Wei Caiqin has done a report on the investigation of agriculture, rural areas and farmers, which we will call the "Three Rural Issues Report". We have printed it out and there is a copy on each of your desks."

Everyone lowered their heads and looked through the reports in front of them.

A few minutes later, Ye Kun continued, "There are nomadic peoples in the north and fishing and hunting peoples along the coast. They make a living by hunting, grazing, or fishing. But we, the Huaxia people, are an agricultural people.

Agriculture is our foundation.

Food is the primary need of the people. Even if industrialization is fully realized, we still need to eat and we still have to put the work of agriculture, rural areas and farmers first.

Nowadays, due to the rapid increase in population, many agricultural problems have arisen. Today we are meeting to solve these problems. "

Everyone nodded.

Wei Caiqin then gave a report and summarized some issues.

Ye Kun asked everyone to speak, add questions, and classify and differentiate.

After lunch, the meeting continued.

Qin Chou said: "There are not many large farms in the interior of the country. Even if all these large farms are handed over to the farmers, it will not solve the problem, but only alleviate it slightly.

The only way now is to allow reclamation and development of new land.

Some inefficient forests can be withdrawn from forest reserves and handed over to local people for reclamation.”

The Deputy Minister of Agriculture said: "If the common people do not have enough manpower to reclaim wasteland, they will fight over the land, which will lead to many disputes. I suggest that the court organize the common people to reclaim wasteland collectively, and then distribute the reclaimed land to the farmers."

Some people also suggested promoting terraced fields in mountainous areas.

Wei Caiqin said: "According to the survey, there are still a lot of tidal flats and swamps that can be turned into fertile fields..."

Everyone was talking and talking.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Everyone's suggestions are good, but they are also very messy. First, we need to calculate how big the gap in arable land will be in the next five to ten years. Then we need to formulate a five-year to ten-year plan, step by step. All localities should start at the same time, divide responsibilities, and implement them in every county, township, and village."

Zhuge Hong also attended the meeting and said with a smile: "The emperor's suggestion is good. When allocating land this time, we must also do a good job of investigating agriculture and have a plan."

Qin Chou said: "The total cultivated land area in the nine provinces of China is 400 million mu. Let's assume the population is 100 million, and the average cultivated land area is 4 mu. Excluding 20 million non-agricultural population, the actual per capita cultivated land of farmers should be 5 mu.

Logically speaking, this per capita arable land is enough. Because our grain output has doubled compared to before. Especially sweet potatoes, the yield is very high..."

Wei Caiqin said: "It is indeed enough at present, but it will become more and more tight in the future. In some densely populated areas, the average arable land is less than three acres."

Ye Kun smiled: "Four hundred million mu of arable land is indeed too little. The land of China's nine provinces can at least develop 1.8 billion mu of land. Then we should open up the mountains and forests for reclamation in an orderly manner.

Taking the county as the unit, each county will develop another 50,000 mu of arable land in accordance with the five-year plan.

Collective reclamation and unified distribution. The labor force needed for reclamation will be organized by local people. The court can provide some of the tools for reclamation. "

Each county now has a population of about 50,000.

Reclaiming 50,000 mu of land will increase the per capita arable land by one mu. A family may increase ten mu, which should be enough.

Zhuge Hong said: "For densely populated areas, it is recommended to migrate some people to Jiaozhi. There are countless arable lands in Jiaozhi, but no one is cultivating them."

The development and construction of Jiaozhi has been going on for many years.

However, there is still a large amount of arable land that is left uncultivated.

Even more arable land in the Indian subcontinent is abandoned.

The utilization rate of cultivated land is less than 5 percent.

After the meeting, Qin Chou applied for resignation again.

Ye Kun nodded in agreement and said, "At the next meeting of the Nine Departments, agree to Qin Chou's resignation and elect a new Minister of Agriculture."

After finishing the agricultural conference, Ye Kun went to the Science and Technology City to guide and inspect the work.

He Tiantian followed Ye Kun and said, "We have already determined the scientific researchers that His Majesty will need when he goes to the Oil Peninsula next year. Together with their families, the total number is 1,900. At the end of the year, the first batch of scientific researchers will go to the Oil Peninsula first. They will also take a batch of scientific research equipment with them..."

Ye Kun asked: "These researchers immigrated with their families. Do they have any resentment in their hearts?"

He Tiantian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. These people signed up on their own initiative and have no grudges. I deliberately selected some young people or middle-aged people. There are very few elderly people."

Ye Kun nodded: "Yes, those elderly scientific and technological workers should stay in their hometown. Opening up a new world overseas is the job of young people."
