"Mr. Chen doesn't have to worry. When the Xiamen Trade Port is completed, we will impose tariffs on passing ships, which can completely cover the construction cost. From now on, there will be a steady stream of income every year to subsidize the finances. As for Yizhouwei, we can sell local specialties there and grow sugar. The market demand for sugar is still very large." Chu Yun quickly called.

"This requires years of investment, and there is no rebate for a year or two. Fortunately, we have a foundation in southern Liaoning and Liaodong. The population of Yizhou and Xiamen Island is only about 100,000, which cannot be dragged down." Chen Ting sighed, and he had a tycoon and could only clean up the mess slowly.

"What is the expected grain output this year? The sowing season has passed, right?" Chu Yun asked again.

"In addition to cultivating new species and guiding farms to plant crops, our Agriculture Bureau has been repairing water conservancy recently and improving the irrigation conditions here. To be honest, the soil outside the pass is fertile black soil, which is not worse than the plains in the pass. It is expected that the grain output will meet the consumption of its own people this year, and there should be surplus." Chen Ting said.

"Let the Agriculture Bureau set up a new crop cultivation team to go to Yizhou to investigate." Chu Yun said, "Yizhou is also a good place worth developing. The water and heat conditions are good, and two ripenings a year are not a problem. Subtropical cash crops can be planted. However, they are prone to typhoons, so crops that are resistant to lodging need to be cultivated."

"What to resist lodging..." Even people who often follow Chu Yun like this can't understand whether the noun appeared in Chu Yun's mouth.

"It's just a crop that is not easily blown down by the strong wind." Chu Yun said.

"Okay, I will go to the Agriculture Bureau in person to instruct them to set up a special group and accompany the officials who went to Yizhou Guard." Chen Ting said, "The construction of Yizhou Guard seems much more complicated than I thought."

"In addition to Yizhouwei, I actually have a bold idea." Chu Yun said.

"Sir, do you have any bold ideas? You said that I am mentally prepared." Chen Ting's face was like a withered chrysanthemum.

"Develop the north, big, deserted!" Chu Yun said word by word, "The Sanjiang Plain north of Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, but the land is fertile and the water source is sufficient. It is actually a plain worth developing, which is sparsely populated. But the situation inside the pass is just the opposite. The pass is large and there are constant natural disasters, and it cannot support hundreds of millions of people in the pass. The population dies from famine every year as many as hundreds of thousands to millions. If some of the people in the pass can be transported to develop the North Wilderness, with the carrying capacity of the Sanjiang Plain, it can support at least 20 to 30 million people."

"Transport 20 to 30 million people outside the pass... Sir, your idea is a bit dangerous..." Chen Ting quickly wiped his cold sweat and was frightened by Chu Yun's crazy idea again. "We cannot organize such a large-scale population migration. How much does it cost to resettle 20 to 30 million refugees."

"Let's talk about this later. I don't plan to digest 20 to 30 million people in one breath. I just want to point out that the Great Northern Wilderness is a treasure land worth developing. We can consciously guide people in the pass to reclaim wasteland outside the pass, especially in northern Shaanxi, as well as coastal areas with frequent natural disasters such as Shandong and Fujian." Chu Yun thought of the later generations of the Guandong. At that time, the Qing Dynasty was interested in guiding the people in the pass to enrich the outside of the pass to resist the erosion of the Northeast region by the Russians.

In fact, there are still many reasons for entering Guandong because of the serious natural disasters and man-made disasters in the Guandong area, which are similar to the current situation.

"It's okay if this is the case. It's just that there is Shanhaiguan blocking the Liaoxi Corridor. The Ming Dynasty was strictly supervising the people. It is difficult for us to instigate the people in the Guanli area to surrender to us by land through the Liaoxi Corridor. We can only reach the Great Northern Wilderness from northern Shaanxi through the Inner Mongolia grassland, or go through the water route from Shandong to southern Liaoning." Chen Ting said.

"If we can use this plan to save the people who were affected by the Ming Dynasty and bring us new labor force, it can also be regarded as a way to restore the Liao army to do good deeds. The people of the Ming Dynasty are in dire straits, so we can only help a little bit," Chu Yun said.

"Yes, natural disasters have been causing great trouble recently, especially in northern Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Gansu, where there are constant wars and chaos, Shandong, Fujian, Lianghu and other places have encountered natural disasters to a greater or lesser extent. How to calculate it, it is still relatively calm outside the pass." Chen Ting said.

"Emperor Chongzhen must be busy putting out the fire everywhere. Haha, compared with His Majesty the Emperor, I, as the general of Liaodong, are more comfortable," Chu Yun said.

"Isn't that true? The lord often goes to the army to fight, and he is just a hand-off manager, but he is so busy that we are subordinates." Chen Ting looked dark.

"This is the biggest difference between us and the court. Emperor Chongzhen had to do everything himself. The officials of the court also took the Donglin Party as the main priority, but instead restrained the upper and lower levels and spent effort on internal friction. We were in a mess, and all departments performed their duties, the army was busy with foreign wars, the officials were busy with various construction, merchants were busy with money, civilians were busy with production, and scholars were busy with research. As long as the internal stability was stable, no problems would arise." Chu Yun said.

His arrival completely broke the reshaping of Liaoning and Liaodong. The Ming Dynasty's management mechanism was in southern Liaoning, and Liaodong had gradually disappeared.

"But adults are not too optimistic. They learn from history. However, when they are founded, they are often more honest. As some disadvantages accumulate, contradictions will emerge." Chen Ting said.

"What Mr. Chen said." Chu Yun was solemn.

It is true that he has a vision that transcends this era, but he is not a god, and he really has to modestly accept some advice from old scholars such as Chen Ting.

"Sir, I see Major Ella from the Intelligence Department has been waiting for you for a long time. I, the old man, won't talk much." Chen Ting and Chu Yun discussed a more important matter, showed meaningful eyes to Chu Yun, and then left with officials from various departments.

"This old guy..." Chu Yun shook his head helplessly at Chen Ting's tone.

Aila, who was waiting silently, also noticed the ambiguous attitude of everyone, and her pretty face turned slightly red.

But she quickly covered her shame: "Is this expedition going well?"

"Well, thanks to your Intelligence Department's instigation of Li Guozhu, one of the eighteen Zhizhi, otherwise the Navy fleet would have to pay more casualties to defeat Zheng Zhilong." Chu Yun said.

"It should be attributed to the proper arrangement of the military leader, and specifically instructed our Intelligence Department to set up a working group to deal with pirates in the southeast coast." Ella said.

"When did you learn to flatter..." Chu Yun couldn't help rolling his eyes, "Don't be taught badly by those old foxes."
