The wealth of the ocean was truly unimaginable.
When the sun of the third day shone down, the entire port seemed to be a little noisy at this moment, because densely packed young men began to occupy the entire port.
There were more than 2,000 people who had been mobilized by Liu Yu previously, as well as 10,000 people who had been created by Liu Yu.
Now, the number of people at the new port had reached 12,000.
And this was only the initial number of people.
After these two days stabilized, the number of people in the port would undoubtedly rise to another level.
According to Liu Yu's initial plan, the number of people in the port would be around 50,000.
Not only would these 50,000 people form a new city, but they would also become China's feelers to the entire ocean. Once they could communicate with each other, these 50,000 people would rise again.
It could reach 100,000, 200,000, or even higher.
In fact, at this moment, not only were there farmers, but there were also soldiers.
Liu Yu had directly arranged for 3,000 spearmen to guard this place. It could be said that they were extremely cautious. After all, there were only 3,000 garrison troops in the entire state capital.
Regarding this, Shi Xie was clearly unable to understand.
However, Liu Yu couldn't explain this.
Fortunately, he did not need to explain.
Shixie wouldn't keep asking.
In fact, after the measurement, Shi Xie and his younger brother quickly went back to apply for the construction of the city. Instead, Liu Yu stayed behind.
He needed to make further plans.
He also needed to see how much he had gained this time.
A slight sea breeze blew.
Liu Yu looked at the sponge in front of him nervously and expectantly.
The sponge seemed to be responding to his expectations.
Soon, fishing boats returned from the distance. The heavy feeling could be clearly felt even from a distance.
When the fishing boats returned to the port.
In front of Liu Yu's eyes, a string of data began to flash.
"Ding…Congratulations on obtaining food. Food 657!”
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining food. Food 835!”
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining food. Food 777!”
.......
Looking at the string of data, Liu Yu's expression became really excited. He also heaved a sigh of relief, especially when the food was frozen. His smile became even wider.
Eighty-seven thousand.
That's right, 87,000 units.
This did not seem like much. After all, his current harvest was at least 300,000 units of food per day. However, one should not forget that this was not the output of 10,000 people, but only 100 people.
With 100 people and 100 fishing boats, 80,000 units of food could be obtained. On average, each person and each boat could obtain 870 units of food per day.
This was already a huge number.
If a hundred ships were like this, then what about a thousand ships, then ten thousand ships?
Perhaps the surrounding area could not support 10,000 ships, but 1,000 ships might not be a problem. Even if there were no fishing ships and the harvest was a little less, there would still be 400,000 to 500,000 units of food. Adding on some large fish in the ocean, it would not be too difficult for a port to have a million units of food.
Not to mention, this place could not support 1,000 ships. At most, he could open up other ports. By then, as long as he accumulated them, the food units harvested in a day would be an unimaginable number.
And what did food represent?
He represented the farmers and the soldiers. He represented that he would have an almost inexhaustible human resource.
Manpower was an unimaginable wealth even in the 21st century.
In this era, manpower was equivalent to the future of a country and a nation.
The reason why China could survive for so long was not only because of its unique culture, but also because it had enough numbers.
If China had a population of hundreds of millions in this era, it was very likely that there would be no other race in history.
The population of China was enough to replace everything.
He had never had such thoughts before.
The reason was very simple. Explosive soldiers seemed to have no limit, but in fact, the limit was very large. Fifty units of food for a farmer was not a lot, but three units of food per day was a bottomless pit when the base was large.
Previously, there were only 30,000 people. His food consumption was 100,000 per day. If he had more, it would only be more terrifying.
He might not be able to hold on forever.
After all, 30,000 was like that. So what if it was 100,000? So what if it was a million? If it really reached 100,000, the daily food consumption would be 300,000,000 units. If one unit was one jin, that would be 300,000,000 jin. Who could withstand 150,000,000 kilograms?
But now, this was a huge problem.
It was only 300 million catties. If one port could provide one million units of food, it would only be 300 ports. It was not difficult for the entire Earth to recruit 300 ports.
If they were to include the production of farmland, they wouldn't even need 300 ports.
If he could promote the development of society, this kind of problem could be solved quickly. One had to know that in his previous life, the earth had fed seven billion people, and the food consumption was much higher than his three units a day.
If he gave a discount, it wouldn't be a problem to feed two billion people.
