Lawmaker, Live Again - Episode 876
Chapter 876
anyway.
I tell the weak, confused council member to take care of things on his own..
Jin Cheon-hee continued his thoughts..
Because his work doesn't end here.
It is also problematic that quite a few people die in adolescence, even if they have passed through infancy..
‘The reason the population is maintained in this era is because even if a lot of people die, a lot of people are born..’
Especially since it is based on farming, every member of the family is important..
Because farming can never be done alone..
So even though Baeklin County has become quite developed, people still maintain large families..
“So, there's a problem..”
“It's a problem?”
Jin Cheon-hee’s eyes widen..
“okay. It's a problem... … . It seems like you're so focused on saving people that you can't see anything else... Isn’t this teacher a genius? So it's a predicted problem..”
“I will listen, Master..”
“This guy. Shouldn’t you guess? Because you created the problem..”
Master Zhuge Lin chuckles and taps his student's head with a fan..
Jin Cheon-hee was a little prickly at the same expression, “You look like a troublemaker.”.
It's because I remembered the past that made my teacher cut the memorial tablet..
Then I thought for a moment.
What is the problem... The problem…….
Then it suddenly occurred to me.
The teacher said that his eyes were set on saving people..
“if… … Are you short of food??”
“okay. That's correct.”
The teacher seems satisfied..
“The population of Jiangsu Province could increase by 5 to 10 times in just 10 years. So the food crisis is coming soon.”
Meanwhile, Zhuge Lin gave the documents to Jin Tianxi..
Food production and consumption, plus imports.
“ah… … . Yes.”
It was clearly written that way in the document Master gave me..
“That's right. Of course, you made some preparations in the past..”
Water control was reorganized and new fertilizer technology was introduced..
The divisions of rice paddies and fields were reorganized and waterways were built in a new style..
By renting out cows and horses, we helped poor households do farming, and encouraged them to cultivate their own land through the concept of renting out land..
“still… Looks like it's not enough.”
Jin Cheon-hee, who was looking at the documents, looked frustrated..
“According to the census conducted this time, yes.”
Master tapped the table with his fan and said:.
“Hee, hasn’t it been quite a while since you became my disciple??”
“Yes.”
“Meanwhile, do you know how much the population of Jiangsu Province has increased??”
Jin Cheon-hee answered immediately..
“There are a lot of immigrants in Baeklin County, so the statistics are not exact, but I believe it has increased about four times compared to the entire Jiangsu Province..”
“okay. But this time we also captured all the immigration statistics..”
The document that Master pushed me had a number written that was as much as five times higher..
Although it is not comparable to the density of cities during the old industrial revolution or modern cities, it is still increasing significantly by the standards of this era..
“The speed is better than expected.?”
“Too fast. If you think about immigration and its own population growth... Food shortage is certain after 5 years.”
“Ugh……?!”
Population growth was underestimated.
“You have been in charge of a small place for so long. This is my first time running such a large county, so it must have been difficult to predict..”
“……Oh, it's a good thing they did a strict census this time..”
“okay. Good place to live means that it is good for wanderers to settle down. More people than expected are rushing into Baekrin County, and at the same time, the number of people dying has decreased accordingly. So it's bound to increase.”
“and. okay.”
Zhuge Lin frowns slightly..
“Heeya. The civilians are more desperate than you thought. Even if it's just to make a living. To the extent that I gave up everything because of the problem of making a living..”
“Will there be more to come in the future??”
“okay. As long as you are in charge of the Baeklin Army, the number will increase, and the number will not decrease..”
“……I guess I should start preparing now..”
Jin Cheon-hee immediately grasped the situation and moved on to the next step..
Zhuge Lin smiled slightly inwardly..
‘As expected, when given a task, he works harder than anyone else..’
As long as this guy is in charge, the population of Baeklin County is bound to continue to increase..
Of course, Baeklin County is not the paradise of your imagination, but you can drink clean water and the police will not beat you up for bribes..
You don't know how big it is.
“Well then, come up with a solution..”
“yes!”
Anticipate in advance and prepare for the right time.
Same goes for life.
There was nothing better than that..
‘It's too late when something happens.’
* * *
Jin Cheon-hee returned to his office and looked at the map blankly..
‘Looking at it again, Baekrin-gun is in a really good location..’
Currently, Baeklin County borders Hongtaek Lake..
Areas bordering Hongtaek Lake are good for farming because there is water..
‘But not all of these places are populated..’
Of course, there are developed cities, but there are also many that are not..
And among them, there are empty areas between villages where no one lives..
Jin Cheon-hee took out chalk and drew a circle around the area near Hongtaek Lake in Baeklin-gun..
It is an undeveloped area and there are no small villages..
The reason is simple.
It is said that the black people poisoned the well and killed all the villagers..
At that time, it was an incident carried out by assassins to catch a small family owner in Baekdo..
Along with Sogaju, civilians also died from poisoning. It is said that those who survived had to disperse to other places..
It was obvious.
The country doesn’t even purify the poison..
However, there is no way Yang Min has water purification technology..
Because many wells were connected to each other, all water in the area was dangerous..
Over time, the poison will dilute and return to its original state, but from the civilians' perspective, they couldn't even tell when that would be..
People who left like that never came back again..
Because the location is good, I could have brought my family, but I didn't..
Jin Cheon-hee searched through old materials and read them quickly..
‘Right. There have already been several more blood deaths at this location..’
Sometimes it is like that.
For some reason, this is a place where political factions and Safa factions often fight..
There aren't any scenic spots nearby, and it's not overcrowded, but they fight..
People think it's because feng shui is bad.
But the village was already exhausted, and the poisoning of the well became the final boiling point, and everyone left..
‘There could be more places like this.’
Jin Cheon-hee diligently searched for vacant land..
Even if it wasn't the same bloodshed just now, there was an incident where bandits came down and massacred the villagers..
There are times when a village disappears due to an epidemic..
There is also a history of a group of people called the Jeong faction massacring an entire village when a member of the Demonic Cult was discovered..
From a political faction standpoint, it was confident..
Because I thought this entire village had fallen to the devil cult..
Even though it can't be like that.
But isn't it always easier and simpler to cut out all the parts that seem rotten with a knife than to take them in one by one and interrogate them?.
It was quite a long time ago.
Before this body was even born.
‘You're crazy.’
They say there is no empty space in this wide river, but if there is an empty space, it is because there is a story behind it..
For your information, the official turned a blind eye and cried out because of that guy's invulnerability to official duties..
He's an ordinary powerhouse.
The empty land was, in other words, the graveyard of the village..
‘There are a lot of places without data..’
This meant that the official in power at the time covered it up without even properly investigating it..
‘If this happens, the successor won't even know what happened.?’
It continued to accumulate and become what it is now..
‘I see. That's why Gold & Silver really hated missing data..’
Jin Tianxi, it's frustrating to only have the White Lin Army alone, but you're looking at the entire Hua Empire..
No matter how much I try to see, there is nothing, so how crazy can it be?.
‘I understand. Ah, so you liked it every time I sent you a report??’
Jin Cheon-hee tends to send relatively detailed reports..
No, I wrote it in such detail that it would be embarrassing to even say comparatively..
I am quantifying everything, writing it down in detail, and sending it out..
I like it so much, so why did I do something so obvious, but I guess other officials don’t do this..
‘Maybe that's why they send inspections often..’
It is said that he is the emperor who sends the most inspectors of all time..
If you think about it the other way around, does this actually mean that even if we didn't work hard like this, even if the civilians disappeared at the village level from time to time, the country would still be in good shape?.
‘It's not like a powerful foreign power suddenly appeared like the Sukshin tribe did last time. If you do your diplomacy properly, it is a rich land with abundant resources and population.…….’
As long as the powerful people don't start a civil war, things seem to be going well in the end thanks to Fuxi's bloodline ability..
‘Moreover, since Kang Ho-in will ultimately become a comrade in front of the power of superpowers, he should prioritize the unification of the martial arts world and not push for a revolution..’
That's not all.
Even though Fuxi's bloodlines each call themselves emperors and try to tear themselves apart into the Five Lakes and Sixteen Kingdoms, the Eight Kingdoms of the Empire will not let that happen..
For their interests, the Warring States Period will never be tolerated..
‘Now there are only seven empires.’
Even if Gold & Silver came to the throne, wouldn't it be a tragedy if they came to the throne in a time like this?.
If these two people had been emperors in the previous or previous generation, they would have run the government much more easily..
‘The emperor ascends to the throne in the last days..’
They probably didn't know.
Thump, thump, thump…….
Jin Cheon-hee taps the table with her fingers and is lost in thought..
‘To Kang Ho-in, the civilians are ultimately like ants. Like crushing an ant with your thumb, you can turn a village into a sea of fire in an instant..’
Of course, if it gets too serious, the coffin can no longer cover it and the troops have to be dispatched..
But if you disperse and hide in the mountains on your own, there will be no answer..
‘Even if I build a new village again. There may be bloodshed again..’
A strong man is a strong man..
That won't change..
However, I still wanted to prevent people from dying for no reason within arm's reach..
Jin Cheon-hee copies the map in her head and lays it down..
Mountains, rivers, and lakes are connected three-dimensionally following the mountain markings..
With the help of Hyeonwonjeondanshingong, the model was transformed into a model that looks like it was drawn with a modern 3D printer..
“First of all, large farmland comes first. In this era, farming is the basis of everything..”
That is the purpose of pioneering.
“It would be better to demolish the old house site and build again. At this point, let's start from the beginning by laying water and sewerage on the floor. It would be better to destroy the well.”
Now, if you want to poison the drinking water, that bastard has to be exterminated too..
Or try talking to the water supply officials..
‘If that happens, you will not be a Sapa but a dreamer of the Demonic Church..’
The little Jin Cheonhees in my head started calculating together..
Thanks to this, Jin Cheon-hee's calculations began to proceed surprisingly quickly..
The scale is precisely drawn in my mind..
It's truly a miracle..
‘Let’s go a little further here.?’
Let's evolve one step further.
