Double penetration: This Three Kingdoms has dragon energy

Chapter 162 Introducing the Newcomers
Then, Minister of Agriculture Yuan Huan stood up and spoke: "The Ministry of Agriculture's achievements this year are mainly the Qijun Cattle Farm and the Le'an Plantation."

The Qi County Cattle Farm is mainly used to cultivate demonic bulls. These demonic bulls can not only be tamed and used to form a fire bull formation, but also be eaten and used for cultivation.

Based on actual results, using demon beef as a resource for cultivating secret techniques is far more effective than using ordinary beef.

Furthermore, the higher the grade of the demon beef, the better the effect.

Grade 9 low-level demon beef has twice the effect of ordinary beef.

After that, the effect increases by 30% for each minor grade increase and by 50% for each major grade increase.

If it's top-grade demon beef, the effect will be 7.2 times that of ordinary beef!
Currently, Qi County has 72 cattle farms of different levels. The highest-level cattle farm can already raise mid-level eighth-grade demon cattle.

The total annual output of all cattle farms is 10,000 "demon cattle".

If all of it were made into "demon beef," it could yield five million catties.

That's roughly equivalent to ten million kilograms of ordinary beef!
As for the plantations in Anle County, they were used to grow medicinal herbs and cash crops with long growth cycles.

Currently, Lok On County has established 89 plantations, each with 3,000 to 8,000 acres of land.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Agriculture currently has 108 million agricultural workers of different ranks and types!

In the autumn, for the occupied territories, relocating the people was only the first step; developing the land was the second.

The main entities responsible for land development were the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Agriculture.

Of the five prefectures of Pingyuan, Jinan, Donglai, Langya, and Donghai, some had just completed the relocation of their people, while others had not yet completed it.

Therefore, it has not yet entered the development stage.

However, Qi County and Le'an County, which were the first to be occupied by Ji Qiu, had already been developed to a rudimentary stage.

Ji Qiu has high hopes for Qi County Cattle Farm. In the future, he not only plans to replace ordinary beef with demon beef, but also plans to export demon beef to the modern world.

This will not only establish a high-end beef brand in the modern world, but also subtly improve the physical fitness of modern people.

He already had some guesses about the relationship between Dragon Kingdom and the modern world.

Although it is still uncertain, that doesn't stop him from doing some preparatory work in advance.

His plantations in Lok On County were his cash cows.

High-end herbs and long-growing cash crops have long been important products he exports to the modern world.

Previously, it was limited to Taishan County, so its scale and profits were also limited.

Now that we have Le'an County, our profits have at least doubled!
And this is just the beginning. As the Le'an County plantation grows and expands, the profits he will gain in the future will only increase!
“You’ve done a great job, but it’s not enough. You need to keep up the good work. By next year’s summary meeting, I hope that both the cattle farms and plantations will at least double in size from where they are now!”
Meanwhile, haven't the descendants of the Qin royal family Ying clan and the Zhao royal family Zhao clan already been found and brought over to them in their entirety?

"You must use them as the core and establish demon horse and demon wolf breeding farms as soon as possible. We urgently need a large number of demon horses and demon wolves!" Ji Qiu instructed.

After learning that the descendants of the royal families of the Seven Warring States all possessed the ability to cultivate demonic beasts, Ji Qiu ordered Jia Xu to search for the descendants of the royal families of the Seven Warring States throughout the country.

Persistence pays off. After nearly a year of searching, Jia Xu finally found the whereabouts of the descendants of the Ying clan of the former Qin royal family and the Zhao clan of the former Zhao royal family.

The descendants of these two families did not fare very well, but they were not doing very badly either; they were just ordinary families in the city.

Ji Qiu personally stepped in and easily recruited them.

Yuan Huan nodded and said, "Yes, your subordinate will continue to build cattle farms and plantations, and at the same time, will find a suitable place as soon as possible to establish breeding farms for demon horses and demon wolves."

“Very well, then please sit down. Now, Mr. Zhongjing, please tell us about the situation at the Ministry of Health,” Ji Qiu said.

Zhang Zhongjing stood up and said, "The Ministry of Health's main tasks this year are divided into two parts."

Firstly, it involves improving the health service environment for urban residents.

To date, the Ministry of Health has a total of 130 hospitals and 3000 health stations.

Within the twelve cities of Taishan County, the requirement of one hospital for every 100,000 people and one health clinic for every 5,000 people has been basically achieved.

In the newly established cities of Beihai County, the proportion is slightly lower than this.

But we will reach that ratio as soon as possible.

Secondly, we must vigorously develop pharmaceutical production.

We have now built eight pharmaceutical factories capable of producing 89 kinds of Dragon Qi Pills, which basically cover all the medicines needed by the people in their daily lives.

The annual pharmaceutical production reaches twenty tons, basically meeting the daily needs of the people.

"Very good. To have mastered the ability to manufacture so many kinds of pills in such a short time is all thanks to Master Zhongjing," Ji Qiu exclaimed sincerely.

Pharmaceutical factories need not only raw materials but also a formula for making Dragon Qi Elixir.

Raw materials are plentiful in autumn, as the Ministry of Agriculture can provide almost all types of Chinese herbal medicines.

But where does the Dragon Qi medicine formula come from?

They were all developed in Zhang Zhongjing's medical research lab!

Good fighters have no illustrious feats.

With population concentration, health and safety become a major issue.

If not handled carefully, a plague could turn a city of one million people into a dead city.

Without the protection and support of the Ministry of Health led by Zhang Zhongjing, it would have been absolutely impossible for Ji Qiu's many large cities with populations of over one million to operate smoothly to this day.

Ji Qiu always believed that if he were to say who among his civil and military officials had made the greatest contribution, it would undoubtedly be Zhang Zhongjing!
Zhang Zhongjing smiled modestly and said, "Thank you for your praise, my lord. This is simply my duty!"

“Mr. Zhongjing, please have a seat! Ning’er, why don’t you talk about the propaganda department?” Ji Qiu said.

Zhang Ning stood up and said, "Yes, there are three main achievements of the department this year."

Firstly, by publicizing policies, the people in the newly occupied areas were mobilized to actively cooperate with the relocation work organized by the government.

This work was remarkably effective, greatly reducing the resistance of the people in the newly occupied areas to relocation.

This reduces migration costs by at least 20% and increases migration speed by 30%.

Secondly, we must vigorously carry out capacity building training for believers.

In the past, we paid more attention to the thoughts and feelings of believers, and often determined their level by the degree of their faith.

However, this year, while continuing to emphasize steadfast faith, we have strengthened skills training.

These believers not only possessed unwavering faith, but also powerful abilities.

They can take on more, larger, and more important tasks.

Thirdly, it is to establish external bases to develop believers outside the areas controlled by our army.

During last year's summary meeting, our lord made a request of us: to go out into the world and let the outside world test our thoughts.

This year, we are responding to the Lord's call to spread our ideas and develop believers beyond our sphere of influence.

Judging from the current results, we have achieved very good results.

We have established our presence in multiple regions.

Not to mention the nearby Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou, these regions already had Yellow Turban forces that we had funded.

In Bingzhou, Jizhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou, which are relatively far from us, we also have forces under our control.

Especially in Bingzhou and Yangzhou. Our Bingzhou Yellow Turban Rebellion has already won over some of the Black Mountain Army to our side.

Although they cannot yet directly confront Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain Army, they are already a force that cannot be ignored within the Black Mountain Army.

Our newly formed Yellow Turban force in Yangzhou directly absorbed the Yellow Turban force that Yu Ji had been developing for many years.

This gave us direct control of nearly one-third of Yangzhou's territory!
We currently have a total of 1.3 million believers, of whom more than 200,000 are located outside the areas controlled by our army!

"Hehe, Zhang Yan has been committing all sorts of evil deeds under the banner of the Yellow Turbans for so many years, but now we have taken away some of his power in the name of the Yellow Turbans. This can be considered as him getting himself into trouble." Ji Qiu chuckled.

During this period in history, Bingzhou was dominated by two powerful forces, Zhang Yang and Zhang Yan.

However, in the world of Dragon Qi Three Kingdoms, Zhang Yang died early in Luoyang City because of Ji Qiu's butterfly wings.

This led to Zhang Yan being unable to be subdued, and he had already occupied Bingzhou.

However, as the nominal ruler of Bingzhou, he could only truly control the two prefectures of Taiyuan and Shangdang.

The remaining seven commanderies, Shang Commandery and Xihe Commandery, were all under Dong Zhuo's control.

The other five counties were occupied by the Xiongnu.

Of these two prefectures, half of their territory was occupied by the Yellow Turbans of Bingzhou.

I feel so sorry for Zhang Yan just thinking about it.

However, Ji Qiu showed him no pity whatsoever.

Because he had absolutely no good impression of Zhang Yan.

He would never forget the wicked appearance of the Black Mountain Army when he went to recruit Zhao Yun.

Zhang Yan, that bastard, is essentially a band of mountain bandits and outlaws.

Ji Qiu would never let him go if given the chance!
In contrast to Zhang Yan's situation in Bingzhou, Yu Ji was much more comfortable in Yangzhou.

Before encountering his nemesis Sun Ce, Yu Ji had a very comfortable life in Yangzhou.

The Yellow Turban forces he developed in the area were roughly equivalent to Zhang Jiao's situation in Ji Province before the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

They have practically taken control of all the villages in Yangzhou except for the aristocratic Wubao and other cities.

Even many junior aristocratic families like Wubao have to be mindful of Yu Ji's mood when making decisions.

In this situation, if the believers of Jiqiu had the advanced experience accumulated in the Beihai Kingdom, they could truly raise a rallying cry and overturn the world!
However, Ji Qiu has no plans to take Yangzhou at the moment.

Firstly, Yangzhou was quite far from him and separated by Tao Qian's forces, making it an enclave that would be difficult to hold even if he took it over.

Secondly, Yu Ji was an important piece in his game, and he planned to use Yu Ji to trick the enemy.

Therefore, Yangzhou should not be taken too early.

"Lord Zheng, let's talk about the situation at the Ministry of Education!" Ji Qiu gestured for Zhang Ning to sit down, then smiled at Zheng Xuan.

The Minister of Education for the autumn semester was originally Ren Hongchang.

However, Zheng Xuan's reputation and abilities far surpassed those of Ren Hongchang.

As the first person to bring the entire prefecture to surrender, Ji Qiu, even if he were to act with the principle of "spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones," still had to make proper arrangements for him.

Therefore, it was decided to hand over the position of Minister of Education to Jeong Hyeon.

As for Ren Hongchang, he was assigned to the newly established Secret Arts Pavilion as its head.

That was a secret institution that specialized in training people with unusual magical abilities, and it was a good fit for Ren Hongchang.

Zheng Xuan stood up, coughed twice, and then said, "I haven't been in charge of the Ministry of Education for long, so the Ministry's achievements this year shouldn't be of much concern to me. I'll just give a brief report based on the data."

The Ministry of Education is primarily responsible for education work, which can be divided into three parts.

Firstly, there's the work at the school.

Currently, the Ministry of Education has 97 primary schools and 12 secondary schools, which basically ensures that all children under the age of twelve attend primary school.

The need for all teenagers aged 12 and above and under 16 to attend secondary school.

Secondly, there was the literacy campaign.

The Ministry of Education has consistently maintained around 3000 literacy classes, providing literacy services to the public in batches.

Each literacy class can teach 200 students at the same time. Each batch lasts for three months, and the graduation standard is that students can read and write two thousand commonly used characters.

Currently, the total number of students who have successfully graduated from literacy classes has exceeded 500 million, accounting for more than half of the total number of people who have made purchases.

Thirdly, working at night school.

Night school can be considered an advanced educational institution for literacy classes.

Its main purpose is to provide skills education for adults.

Attending night school is not mandatory, but those who have completed night school will clearly be able to get better jobs.

Therefore, the public is still very enthusiastic about attending night school.

Currently, the Ministry of Education has 145 night schools, with 10 night schools in each of the twelve cities of Taishan County.

There are 25 night schools in Beihai New City.

Currently, there are 126 million night school graduates, who form the main workforce of government-run enterprises under the Ministry of Industry and the basic management of plantations under the Ministry of Agriculture.

"Indeed, the Ministry of Education's contribution to our work is immense."

Education is the foundation.

If we want long-term peace and stability and to rebuild a prosperous era for humanity, then education is an absolutely indispensable part of it!

This is especially true for us, since we follow a collective production model that requires people to have a certain level of knowledge in order to engage in production and daily life.

I hope that under Zheng Gong's leadership, the Ministry of Education will reach even greater heights in the future!

"Of course, the most important task is to do a good job in building Qingzhou College, the first university under the Ministry of Education!" Ji Qiu said with a smile.

He appointed Jeong Hyeon as Minister of Education, but there was another purpose to it.

This would be a legitimate way to incorporate Moshan Academy into the Ministry of Education's education system and transform it into Qingshan College.

The Minister of Education, Jeong Hyun, also serves as the president of Aoyama Gakuin.

From now on, the main student body of Aoyama Academy will be middle school students.

In the current primary and secondary education system under the Ministry of Education, the future prospects of primary school students are roughly equivalent to those of an adult who has just graduated from a literacy class.

The future prospects of high school students are equivalent to those of night school graduates.

The future of Aoyama College graduates is truly a bright and promising path.

Zheng Xuan nodded slightly and said, "I will do my utmost and not disappoint my lord."

"Okay, all the old departments that spoke at our previous year-end summary meetings have now finished speaking."

"Now, let me introduce some new faces attending this year-end summary meeting for the first time: Foreign Minister Zhuge Jin, Scientific and Technological Minister Zhuge Liang, and Commerce Minister Mi Zhu," Ji Qiu said.
