The importance of food was unquestionable.
This was even more so for Zhu Bai. After all, the amount of food was almost related to how many farmers he could produce, and farmers were the most complete infrastructure.
During this period of time, he had indeed collected a lot of food.
He could even predict that in the future, his food supply would increase.
Under normal circumstances, he naturally would not take it out.
However, there was something that he had to consider. There were many things that a cheat could do.
However, it still had its own limitations.
In the game of the Empire Era, countless existences could be created and even created quickly.
However, there were only things that existed in the game, such as barracks, shipyards, and city walls.
However, this was not the only thing in reality.
Similarly, if he wanted to build a maritime empire, it would be difficult to do so just by relying on the system.
Perhaps he could rely on the system to sweep the world, but what about after that?
He needed a stable environment and enough talents. These were not things that the system could provide.
This undoubtedly required Da Ming's funding.
As the largest empire in this world, even in the early years of Hongwu, everything that the Great Ming had was an existence that other countries and civilizations could not compare to.
"Twelfth brother, I know that you need a lot of resources to open up your possibilities.”
"If there are extra people to support father, the threat of Meng Yuan will always exist.”
Seeing that Zhu Bai had fallen into silence, Zhu Di understood that he was anxious and hurriedly added.
"Fourth brother, it's not impossible to provide food!”
"How about this, I can provide Imperial Father with 100,000 catties of grain now, and I can provide it in the future. However, can you ask Imperial Father to migrate some for me?”
"As you can see, the population here is very small. Even after a period of development, there are only tens of thousands of people.”
"Fourth brother, you can see that the land here is enough to produce three crops in a year. In fact, it is not only possible in Qiongzhou Prefecture, but also in South Yue and many islands in Southeast Asia.”
Zhu Di spoke, and Zhu Bai immediately understood that this person had probably misunderstood.
However, he did not explain himself. Instead, he pondered for a moment and spoke.
Immigrate.
Yes, it was immigration.
Although there were system characters, there were limitations to them.
Zhu Bai didn't want his subordinates to be all system people.
Although it was better management, it was not suitable for long-term development in the future.
Therefore, his idea was very simple. He could give them food, but he needed a sufficient population.
This was the result of his careful consideration.
If it was anything else.
Even if that big brother of his became the emperor, Zhu Bai would still have to weigh the pros and cons.
After all, if he did this, it would be easy for people to suspect what he was up to.
But that was his cheap father.
The Lord who forgave his own son's rebellion.
His little action did not count at all.
In addition, if he could provide an endless supply of rations, Zhu Bai even suspected that Old Zhu would turn a blind eye to his matters, unless he raised a rebellion.
As for migration.
It was also a good thing for Da Ming.
There were still quite a number of refugees in Great Ming.
After more than twenty years of development, the entire Great Ming had undoubtedly calmed down quickly.
Unfortunately, this period of time was the beginning of the Little Ice Age. The average annual temperature in China was much lower than in the later years. Droughts and floods occurred one after another in the summer, and it was extremely cold in the winter. Not only Hebei, but even the south and other places were covered in blizzards.
Although this was only the beginning.
It was only during the middle and late stages of the Ming Dynasty that it would be the most serious.
But even if it was just the beginning, the turmoil for Great Ming was still huge.
In addition to the chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the entire Hongwu period was filled with immigrants.
Now, they were only splitting some of the money with the Qiongzhou Prefecture.
It should be very simple.
In fact, that was indeed the case.
The moment Zhu Bai finished speaking, the originally nervous Zhu Di's eyes couldn't help but light up.
"100,000 Jin, is Twelfth Brother serious?”
Zhu Di blurted out.
As for immigration, he didn't care at all.
Compared to the migration of a few people, the 100,000 catties of food was what he was most concerned about.
"Of course!"
"Right now, this little brother doesn't lack food.”
Zhu Bai nodded.
He expressed his affirmation.
In the game, food resources were the easiest to obtain and the least lacking.
Now that he had completed his foundation, this was the same for him.
Compared to the game, he could obtain far more food.
On the one hand, it was the harvest of the farmland. On the other hand, the vast sea provided him with a large amount of food all the time.
This accumulation was increasing by a terrifying amount every day.
If he hadn't paid attention to the impact and prevented the number of people from increasing too much in one go, he might have had even more people now.
It might not be possible to break through 100,000, but breaking through 50,000 was easy.
And this was before the profits from the farmland had been fully opened.
Among the thousands of farmlands, the most they had was only able to harvest the second time, and the least they had was not even able to harvest the first time.
Otherwise, his food supply would undoubtedly rise to another level.
As for 100,000 catties of grain, it was actually less than 50,000 units of food.
With his current speed of collecting food, he could finish it in a very short time.
"Good, great!"
"Twelfth brother, you have solved a very big problem for Imperial Father.”
"Father will definitely be very happy!”
Hearing Zhu Bai's affirmative words, Zhu Di's face could not help but reveal a look of ecstasy.
His right hand heavily patted Zhu Bai's shoulder
