Chapter 286 Planning the Lingnan Plain

A few days passed in a flash. Jiang Zhengqing stayed in Lingnan Base for a day because he was anxious about trade, and then said goodbye to Wang Jin.

Wang Jin also arranged Jia Ding to accompany him and prepared to return to Lishan Base to deal with trade matters related to the resumption of trade between the two sides.

Jiang Zhengqing also made a promise to Wang Jin about the termite problem.

He said that after returning to the underground base, he would dispatch a group of termites as soon as possible, led by Jiang Shishi, to come to Lingnan Plain to help Wang Jin clean up the herbivorous insect disaster.

With Jiang Zhengqing's guarantee, Wang Jin also dispatched hundreds of hosts back to Lishan Base, so that the two sides could quickly resume trade.

After this matter was dealt with, Wang Jin concentrated on handling related affairs in Lingnan Base and arranging the development of Lingnan Base's affairs.

In Lingnan Base, a week after the end of the war, the pain caused by the war had gradually dissipated.

Hundreds of thousands of survivors began to leave their homes and resume their previous lives, working and finding food.

There was another reason why these survivors had to come out.

Because the amount of food distributed by Wang Jin every day began to decrease, if the survivors did not want to starve, they had to go to the wild to find food.

Wang Jin could not keep supporting the survivors for nothing. In the past, he distributed excess food every day in order to stabilize the situation. Now that the situation has stabilized, Wang Jin will naturally not be so generous, and instead began to reduce the amount of food distributed.

Of course, this is also because the food in Lingnan Base is indeed insufficient. At most, it is not enough for the entire city to use for half a year. Everything still has to rely on planting in the Lingnan Plain.

Lingnan Base began to slowly resume normal order and activities. What made the survivors feel relieved was that Wang Jin did not embarrass them.

The soldiers also behaved themselves and did not commit violence and murder in the city. Instead, the food distributed every day was slightly more than when Liu Jun was in power.

The survivors began to adapt to their current life. Although the streets were still a little deserted due to the war, they no longer had the feeling of a dead city as before.

In the center of Lingnan Base, a 25-story new government building stands here.

This was completed by a large number of prisoners of war, working overtime day and night in cooperation with earth-type mutants for a week.

With Wang Jin's words, thousands of people rushed to build the building in just one week. This is Wang Jin's current power.

The 25-story building stands out in the Lingnan base. Although 25 floors are not very high, because the Lingnan base is a newly built city after the end of the world, the houses are generally not higher than three floors.

Therefore, once the new government building was built, it became a landmark building in the base. It was very eye-catching and bright, representing Wang Jin's rule over the Lingnan base and a means of showing prestige.

The newly built government building was not built very luxuriously because of insufficient building materials. It cannot be compared with the government building in the Lishan base, but it is more than enough for office use.

At this moment, on the top floor of this government building, in the open-air sky garden, two men were sitting there, holding tea and talking happily.

One of them is Wang Jin, the new controller of the Lingnan base, and the other is Zhang Zhouming who was transferred from the Lishan base.

"How is the matter going? How is the grain output in Lingnan Plain?"

Wang Jin looked at the city below that had regained some vitality, took a sip of tea in the cup, and asked Zhang Zhouming opposite.

Zhang Zhouming had a little fatigue on his face and said, "I dare not slack off according to the order of the city lord. As soon as I arrived at the Lingnan base, I took my subordinates to calculate and explore the Lingnan Plain. After three days of hard work, it can be confirmed that the Lingnan base is indeed fertile, the terrain is flat, and there are rivers around. If all are planted, an annual output of 400,000 to 500,000 tons is not a problem."

"If high-yield grains such as sweet potatoes and corn are planted, this output will double, and it is possible to reach 600,000 to 700,000 tons."

Zhang Zhouming's face flushed with excitement. More than 500,000 tons! This is dozens of times the output of the planting area in the Lishan base. How can Zhang Zhouming not be excited?

Although it was not the first time Wang Jin heard this news, he was still a little excited.

With this large granary, there is no need to worry about food problems in the future.

"Well done. I want to know, if the herbivorous insects are solved, when can we plant food."

Wang Jin smiled and spoke impatiently.

"The climate in Lingnan Plain is mild and humid. Wheat and sweet potatoes can be planted in half a month. In addition, there are several kinds of food that can be planted. As long as the herbivorous insects are solved, planting is not a problem."

Jiang Zhengqing looked confident. He has been flying all over the Lingnan Plain with his host during this period. He has put in a lot of effort and is very confident about the planting problem.

"That's great. You can count how many farmers are needed to plant food in the entire Lingnan Plain."

Wang Jin couldn't hide his joy in his eyes. The faster the planting, the faster the harvest. Wang Jin couldn't help but start to prepare.

"We don't have agricultural machinery. We can only rely on manpower to plant. We need about 200,000 farmers."

Zhang Zhouming quickly reported a data. Wang Jin nodded after hearing it, thought for a while and said: "The population of Lingnan Base is 800,000. I plan to move 600,000 back to Lishan Base. Lingnan Base will only be used as an agricultural base, retaining the agricultural population and a small number of civilians. What do you think?"

"That's no problem. The population of 200,000 is enough to meet the needs of all the planting in Lingnan Plain, and it will not delay the grain harvest."

"That's great!" Wang Jin was very satisfied with Zhang Zhouming's answer, and smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work this time. You will have to preside over the development of Lingnan Plain in the future. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer like you did last time when you managed the planting area of ​​Lishan Base."

"Thank you, Lord City Lord. Zhou Ming will not let you down."

Zhang Zhouming was overjoyed and stood up and bowed deeply to Wang Jin.

Wang Jin gave him the management of Lingnan Plain, which showed Wang Jin's trust in him, which made him excited and nervous.

Lingnan Plain is related to hundreds of thousands of tons of food. Such a heavy responsibility is on his shoulders. In addition to excitement, there is also heavy pressure, which makes Zhang Zhouming dare not take it lightly.

"You go down first to prepare. Recruit and select farmers as soon as possible. I want you to plant food as soon as possible after the herbivorous insects are solved, so as not to delay the farming season."

Wang Jin waved his hand, and Zhang Zhouming retreated tactfully. Soon Wang Jin was the only one left on the top floor.

"Lingnan Plain, we have to deal with things here as soon as possible. He Xin and Li Yue's evolutionary transformation is also about to succeed. Blade Queen, Queen of Insects, hey!"

Wang Jin sighed, not knowing whether this result was good or bad.

The only thing Wang Jin knew was that he must firmly grasp the control of the Zerg.

This is Wang Jin's capital for making a living.
