Weihai Wei Lord's Mansion.
"According to our detailed statistics, Weihaiwei has a population of 1.2 million. There are 200,000 households with an average of six people per household. The number of people entering Weihai Wei every day had gone from negative 500 to positive after two months of development. According to yesterday's data, the net population had reached more than 3,000!”
"According to our Bureau of Civil Affairs 'estimation, more people will flow into Weihai Wei in the future. Because with the development of the sea trade, a large number of Weihaiwei goods began to flow into the south of the Ming Dynasty, attracting the attention of many southern merchants. More and more southern merchants began to come to us and earn a large amount of silver dollars. Moreover, because our Weihaiwei was completely ahead of the various provinces of the Ming Dynasty, many merchants had already settled in our Weihaiwei.”
"In addition, those near Weihai, such as Wendeng County in the south, Ninghai Prefecture in the west, Chengshan Wei in the east, and Jinghai Wei in the southeast, are close to Weihai Wei. They understand the changes here very well, so a large number of people fled from all directions.”
"Of course, there will be spies entering, but we have established a strict household registration and identity system. In addition to the management of allowing entry but not exit, these spies basically can't leave once they enter our Weihai Wei.”
" Next, our advisor group suggests that we mobilize our forces against these four places. Because Weihai Wei is developing too fast, the resources we need are extremely terrifying. Even if we have merchant ships imported from other places, it's still not enough!”
"For the sake of resources and our safety, our advisor group suggests that we take down the Chengshan Guards, Rongcheng Guards, and Wendeng County. We will use the Huanglei River to Tangquan Town as the boundary to confront the Ming army in Ninghai Prefecture!”
Li Qian, the Chief of Staff of the Staff Committee that Lin Feng had set up to help him collect data and make professional evaluations, reported the latest data of the territory to Lin Feng and made suggestions.
Weihai Wei had been developing too fast in the past two months. With sufficient food and full industrial development, although it was not mechanized, it was still manual production.
However, the mass production of the assembly line also had amazing potential.
Now, if Weihai Wei wanted to maintain its rapid growth and even make a breakthrough, it needed a larger territory.
He had to take down at least one-third of the Dengzhou Prefecture's territory!
"How are our strategic reserves?" Lin Feng frowned and asked.
"We have enough food and clothing. We have also collected enough alcohol, herbs, and other medical supplies. We have also produced 100,000 sets of weapons and equipment. The First Guard has already formed a combat force and can go to the battlefield at any time!”Li Qian said without hesitation.
Weihai Wei's monthly steel production had already exceeded 100,000 tons.
Among them, 90,000 tons of iron and 10,000 tons of steel.
They also had sufficient manpower to produce weapons and equipment. After daily training, they had even stored 100,000 sets. One could imagine how powerful the production capacity of Weihai Wei was now.
"In other words, we don't have backup?”Lin Feng frowned.
One Guard had nearly five thousand soldiers, enough to sweep through Wendeng, Chengshan, and Jinghai. However, if they wanted to completely control these three places and form a large defense line to defend against the forces in the direction of the Ninghai Prefecture, they seemed to be lacking in manpower.
He thought for a moment and said," Immediately form the second and third guards. Carry out emergency training and formulate a detailed overall plan. One month later, with the first guard as the main force and the second and third guards as the reserve team, we will take down these three places!”
"Yes, my lord!" When Li Qian heard that a battle was about to start, he immediately became excited.
Although he was a strategist and strategist, his fighting will was not inferior to those of combat personnel.
Lin Feng shook his head. It seemed that his subordinates were all very belligerent!
The main reason was that the opponent was too weak. He wanted to attack the other party at all times.
However, as long as he followed his own pace, economic development and war would not be delayed.
Furthermore, the administrative system of the territory had been completely set up and was on the right track. Next, he just needed to repeat the Weihai Wei model.
Weihai Wei's growth potential in the past two months had given Lin Feng a lot of confidence.
With all kinds of major projects and large-scale expansion, even a million people were not enough for him to fill. He actually had to raise the wages of the people working under him time and time again. At the same time, he also needed to produce farmers from time to time to supplement the population loss from agricultural development.
As the economy developed, the farmers in the countryside abandoned the land and became workers in the cities. It was almost an irreversible trend.
Fortunately, Lin Feng was able to handle the agriculture industry. Otherwise, he would have a headache maintaining the balance between agriculture and industry.
In the future, countless countries had paid a heavy price and all kinds of turmoil for the sake of industrialization!
Suddenly thinking of something, Lin Feng said,"As for the navy, expand the army by a hundred three-hundred-ton warships. After we take down the Chengshan Guards and Jinghai Guards, we will be surrounded by the sea on three sides.”
"Understood!" Li Qian nodded his head vigorously, then bowed and left.
Lin Feng was thinking about the future development of his territory. Although the development of Weihai Wei was in full swing, he was happy.
However, he was only happy. The army was always the place he valued the most.
It was said that political power came from the barrel of a gun. Without a powerful army, no matter how prosperous a force was, no matter how abundant its resources were, it would become a mirror in the water. It could lose everything at any time.
"It's also time to upgrade the town center."
After expanding the two guards, the real army would exceed 1,000 people, reaching 2,000.
Meanwhile, the number of farmers had already exceeded 100,000.
It could be said that as long as the other two guards were formed, Lin Feng would be able to meet the requirements of upgrading 100,000 farmers and 1,000 soldiers, and upgrade the town center to a county level.
Once the town center was upgraded, there would be new buildings and new technology. The strength of his territory would increase greatly.
