The population of this small northwest region was much larger than that of an average county.
These 100,000 people ate, drank, and pooped every day. How could the little facility he created solve the problem?
It seemed that the construction of the fief was also very important.
Ying Jing realized the problem after hearing what the soldier said.
Therefore, he specially brought his men around the area.
After taking a look, many problems were exposed.
In this area, because the latrines were too dense, it was impossible to start a fire inside the house.
Because once it went off, these tens of thousands of latrines might have to be destroyed.
Moreover, the latrine was really a huge gap. They had to wait for half a day to line up. How could they hold it in?
There were only a few dozen latrines in a gathering place of more than 100,000 people. How could it be enough?
There was a serious shortage of wells, and they had to queue for half a day to get water.
Needless to say, the environment was completely dirty and messy. It was even uglier than a refugee nest.
And clothes.
It didn't matter if it was a man or a woman. They were still wearing what they were wearing when they came because they didn't have any decent clothes to change into.
There was no need to talk about showering.
There was not a single place in the entire show where one could take a bath, because there was a strange problem with everyone in the colony, but these problems were not the whole problem.
In any case, there were still various problems waiting to be solved in the entire fief.
This was because there were more and more commoners. If these problems were not properly resolved, it would not do.
However, how exactly should he resolve it? This really gave Ying Jing a headache.
This was because the number of his subjects would only increase day by day.
An ordinary place would definitely not be able to accommodate so many people.
At this rate, in just half a year, Ying Jing would have millions of people under his command.
In the entire Great Qin, the only cities with a population of over a million were Xianyang, Linzi, Handan, and Ying Du.
Now, during the Qin Dynasty, after so many years of conquering the world, Great Qin's population was quite scattered. There were many places with hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even tens of thousands of people, but there were not many places with millions of people. Moreover, from Ying Jing's point of view, this number was only temporary.
His annual population growth rate could reach five or six million. If it were two years, his population would reach 25 million.
However, could such a small fief accommodate him?
With such a large population, even ten Xianyang would find it difficult to accommodate them.
Therefore, if Ying Jing really wanted to solve the problem of population accommodation, there was only one way at the moment, and that was to build a huge city.
A big city that could accommodate tens of millions of people.
However, there was also a very troublesome problem. To build such a huge city, it would definitely take up a lot of Xu Yao's land.
If Ying Jing wanted a bigger area, would Ying Zheng allow it?
Moreover, if he wanted to build a huge city, he couldn't just think about it and have a place. He still needed some construction talents.
However, there was no such talent.
And that was not all. To build such a large city, not only did it require manpower, but it also required material resources.
The amount of resources needed to build such a large city was an astronomical figure.
With Ying Jing's current wealth, how could he build it? Why build it?
All these things piled up together, and it was a huge problem for Ying Jing.
However, Ying Jing also knew that he had no choice but to build this city.
Other than this, he had no other choice.
Otherwise, with the rapid increase in population, if this continued, something would definitely happen.
After thinking about it, Ying Jing felt that he could look for Meng Tian for help. After all, this general who had been guarding the border for many years might have some ideas.
When Meng Tian heard that Ying Jing had come, she found it strange.
Ever since Ying Jing came to the Northwest, the only contact he had with him was about the marriage of Great Qin's elite soldiers.
Ying Jing had never come to find him before.
Moreover, this was the first time Ying Jing had come to the General's Estate to see him.
The two of them had met at the General's Estate.
Seeing Ying Jing suddenly come to visit, Meng Tian smiled and responded,""Greetings, Your Highness. I don't know what brings you here. If there's really something, Your Highness just needs to send someone to tell me, and I will go and pay my respects to Your Highness.”
Ying Jing smiled and said straightforwardly,"General Meng, this king does not visit unless there is a reason. This time, I naturally have some things to ask General Meng.”
Meng Tian stroked her beard and smiled.""If Your Highness has anything to say, feel free to instruct me. I will definitely do what I can for Your Highness.”
"General Meng, you should know that the number of people in my fief is increasing day by day. The current population is already more than 80,000.”
"This king's fief is only 40,000 mu, but this king has some use for these places.”
"But this king's commoners, each and every one of them should have a place to stay, right?”
Hearing this, Meng Tian was stunned for a moment and said,""Your Highness, you should go to the county magistrate of Z County to settle the people. Isn't that what he should do?”
"Although 80,000 people is a lot, it's still manageable for Z County.”
"Moreover, Your Highness, I reckon that the county magistrate of Z County is very willing to arrange this matter.”
"You're a prince. In the entire northwest, who would dare not give you face?”
Hearing this, Ying Jing shook his head slightly and said,"No, this king doesn't want to do that. These people have left their homes and traveled thousands of miles to the northwest to follow me. Believe me, I definitely won't let them down.”
"If I throw them all to the Imperial Court just like that, they will definitely be disappointed in this king, so this king is not willing to do this.”
When Meng Tian heard this, she pursed her lips and touched her nose. Ying Jing's words were too bold. He had 80,000 people in his hands, yet he was unwilling to hand them over to the imperial court.
Even though these people were disaster victims in the beginning, if this matter was exaggerated by someone with ill intentions and said that Ying Jing was plotting a rebellion, even if Ying Jing was a prince, he didn't have such intentions. He would still have to suffer.
Ying Jing had lived two lifetimes and was not a fool. Of course, he could guess what Meng Tian was thinking. He did not beat around the bush and said directly,""General Meng, don't think too much about it. This king doesn't have any other thoughts. I just want to find a good place and give these people a good speech.”
Who was Meng Tian?
Why would she believe him just because of Ying Jing's words?
Moreover, Ying Jing had 80,000 people in his hands, and the number was still increasing every day. It was impossible that it was because Ying Jing was kind.
Meng Tian felt that it was this Prince Ying Jing who wanted to establish his own foundation in the Northwest. This Prince Ying Jing's scheme was really not small.
Although Meng Tian was guarding the border in the northwest and was far away from the royal court, she was very clear about the big and small matters of the royal court.
Now that His Majesty was getting older day by day, there might be no more gods one day.
However, the Emperor had appointed a grandson to inherit the Great Qin Empire. Although they seemed to be convinced on the surface, who knew what they were thinking?
