Chapter 891: Paddle the Oars of Friendship


All the way to the heavens and the United States, and then the Han people also explored the route, along the way to build a quite reliable supply base, not only the ship has a problem to be able to go to the base in time to repair, but also to get the materials in time, the fleet is stable from the rising Hainan 1 sea to the Strait Bay Bay, all understand, and then from the Yangtze River estuary into the inland river.

The fleet actually stopped at the mouth of the Yangtze River, mainly because the number of ships in the fleet was too much, and once it poured into the Yangtze River, it would definitely cause blockage to the waterway, which would not only cause great trouble, but also produce a lot of economic losses.

The Yangtze River and the Yellow River, which has not yet turned yellow, can directly enter the inland waterway from the sea.

The two rivers have now been fully utilized by the Han Chinese, especially the Yangtze River.

Ships go to sea through the inland waterways of the Yangtze River all the time, and at the same time, ships enter the inland waterways from the sea.

Every ship is loaded with goods, and once the river is blocked, it is really an economic loss every moment, and it is not a joke to say that hundreds of thousands per minute.

There was once a topic in the center of the discussion, that is, whether the mouth of the Yangtze River and the Great River could be expanded, but the discussion was terminated after only one opening, because there was no means to intercept the Yangtze River and the Great River at all.

It can be done manually, but the amount of work will be so huge that it is impossible to calculate the amount of damage in which areas the river diversion will cause.

Therefore, it is not impossible to expand the sea mouth or something, no one can guarantee what kind of consequences will occur, and no one wants to reproduce the scene of Dayu's water control.

In fact, there is another way, which is to dig a channel in another place, dig as much as you want, wait for the construction to be completed, and then dig both sides from the inland, and a new river channel can be generated.

However, even if the latter method was thought of, no one put forward it, mainly because the benefits generated by the current two outlets to the sea are too great, and once the location of the outlet is changed, whoever proposes it should be hated by at least dozens or even millions of people.

If you think about it, there are tens of millions of people who hate you to the core, even if your generation doesn't suffer any revenge for the hatred of so many people, but what can happen to future generations Again, the beneficiary group of the new outlet will be grateful, but the individual will easily remember the hatred and the kindness will soon be forgotten, and it is really a bit unworthy to bear such a big consequence "Is this the famous Yangtze River?"

Julian looked at the extremely crowded river with too many ships coming in and out: "Sure enough, the sails are like a forest, and the planks can form land."

"It's a thousand miles, nothing more than this."

Wang Meng didn't hide his pride at all: "You will soon be able to see the most prosperous port today, the most populous city in the world." ” No matter what Wang Meng said, he has been a Jiankang order, and he still has a lot of feelings for Jiankang, so he will pay special attention to the changes in Jiankang.

In the past Jiankang, the residents in the city were once close to 2 million, that is, after the Han army went south to the small court and perished, the residents in the city first fled hundreds of thousands, and then were relocated by hundreds of thousands, and the resident population once dropped to only 600,000.

Seven years after the Yuan Shuo, the settled population in Jiankang rose steadily and slowly, until it had recovered to 1.2 million by the time Wang Meng left office, and by the 11th year of the Yuan Shuo Dynasty, it had rapidly increased to 2.27 million.

It will suddenly increase to 2.27 million, which is to include the surrounding population, especially the largest contribution from Jingkou.

Since Jingkou was zoned as the main wharf at the mouth of the Yangtze River, it is an exaggeration to say that it changes every day, but when people leave for a year and then look back, they will really not recognize the appearance they once knew, at least the city periphery they see is definitely not the urban periphery in their impression.

"How much" Julian felt he must have misheard: "Two million two hundred and seventy thousand" Julian's expression was like a drawing board that said "Watt, oh."

He learned from Cicero that the most populous city in the Han Kingdom should not be a city called Linzi, and I heard that it had more than 1.8 million residents.

Now, Wang Meng said that the population of Jiankang reached 2.27 million, so Julian thought about it carefully, how many cities with a population of more than one million in the Han Kingdom seem to be four, including more than 1.8 million in Linzi and 2.27 million in Jiankang, and the two together have a population of more than 4 million, which is almost about one-fifth of the total population of Rome By the way, in fact, even the Romans did not know what their total population was, they never counted only the number of citizens including relatives, and the number of citizens of their ancestors, not the commoners, slaves, and vassal races.

According to the current calculations of the Romans, the official population of Rome should be about 20 million, but according to Europa scholars, the population of Rome was thought to be at least 180 million in the fourth century AD.

Considering that the history of Zhuxia is true and becomes a myth, and the history of Europa is a myth that is regarded as true, to put it bluntly, the history of Zhuxia is far more reliable than the history of Westerners, and the arguments of Europa scholars about history are still ignored.

"I take the liberty of asking" Kesias stared at Wang Meng deadly: "Can you reveal the population figures of the Han Empire?"

What a joke, in this era when everything relies on hands to work, how many people in a country can be casually revealed Even in the 19th century, the size of a country's population was kept in the utmost secrecy, and anyone who snooped on proved who was planning the invasion The population of a country is not only a representation of the labor force, but also a guarantee of how many troops can be conscripted in the event of war Wang Meng glared at Ksiaias very unkindly, and almost drew his sword a little bit.

Julian laughed and quickly pulled the topic away from the topic to relieve Ksiaias.

"Your Excellency is an envoy, please pay attention to the words."

Wang Meng had a smile on his face: "Otherwise, it will be misunderstood." ” With an ugly smile, Ksiaias kept apologizing.

The current population of the Han Kingdom, including the number of babies over the age of one, is 25,277,629, but minors account for more than 8 million.

With the encouragement of childbearing, the population of Han will continue to increase explosively, and I dare not say that there are one million new babies every year, and there are always more than 500,000.

Slaves were not counted in the census, and the number of official and private slaves now recorded in the Han Kingdom amounted to an exaggerated figure of 12,270,000.

It's not a fraction, it's the replenishment and attrition of slaves that change every moment.

The main reason is that the number of foreign countries and alien races around the Han Kingdom is really too small, but with the Asan continent and the African continent, I believe that the number of slaves will increase every year, maybe in another three or five years, the number of slaves should exceed the 50 million mark.

Of the 12,270,000 slaves, the three countries of the peninsula contributed nearly 3 million, the grasslands contributed 1.2 million, the Nanyang and Indochina peninsulas contributed 4 million, and the rest were the contributions of the Western Regions and the Three Continents.

Julian and Xeias quietly glanced at each other, Wang Meng's reaction was a little big but he didn't dig deeper, and it was worth their relief.

According to the inference of Rome and Sasansan, the population of the Han State should be about 50 million, which is their inference from the number of Han troops they know, where do they know that the Han State does not have that much population at all.

"The Han Empire is really capable of pulling out a million troops."

Seeing that Wang Meng was far enough away, Ksiaias lowered his voice: "There is still an army that can be fully armed. ” Kexias talked about the data he knew, such as the nearly 300,000 army and navy that expeditioned to the Asan Continent, nearly 200,000 to conquer the Western Regions, and the Northeast and North together are about 200,000, so there should be more than 200,000 garrisons in the country In fact, how did Ksiaias know that the Han people who have gone through the turmoil are mainly young and strong, and most of them are men "The Han Empire has gained nearly 30 million people from the Gupta Dynasty" Julian was snapping his fingers: "Gupta has 30 million people, and the countries that are about to be destroyed by the Han people should have nearly 10 million people combined, and then the Han Empire still has so many colonies" Now there is the name colony, and there really is.

The Romans had always regarded the territory of the vassal race as a colony, a place of dumping and plundering of goods.

"Even if the population of the Han Empire is small, it makes no difference to us."

Xeias has never forgotten the horrific images he saw with his own eyes at that Armageddon on the Plains: "They mastered the weapon of the gods, gunpowder" Recently, Julian and Xeias's friendship has been heating up again and again, and they want to extend the reconciliation between the Romans and the Persians from the two of them to all the Romans and Persians, and happily row the oars of the friendship boat together.

"After arriving in Chang'an, no matter who among us has a chance" Julian found Wang Meng walking over, and did not deliberately lower his voice: "When you meet the Emperor of Han, you must bring up that matter." ” Last time, Julian noticed it a little late, but he still found that his conversation with Ksiaias was overheard by Wang Meng.

Julian was very careful to test how much Wang Meng had heard afterwards, although he was not so sure, but guessed that Wang Meng had only heard a tail.

"Uh-huh" Ksiaias has his own opinion according to the records of the Han people in Persian history: "The emperor of Han should be very happy." ” Now they are faced with a very serious problem, that is, they do not know what the country will think about their vision.

After all, the two countries and nations have been the absolute hegemons of each region for thousands of years, and no matter how difficult the time in history, no one has ever been anyone's little brother, before the Han people showed malice, the two countries did not lose to the Han army on the battlefield, and no one was a little proud until the moment of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species:
