was taken to the police station, Zhuang Bifan thought that there would be a good show of torture to extract confessions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info didn't expect him and Zhu Tao to be quickly fished out of the police station by Fan Zinong.

However, they did not return to freedom, but were detained in the Tianhai National Security Bureau. Of course, Fan Zinong didn't wronged them too much. Two rooms were arranged for them, and the two could also get together. As long as they don't go out of the room and let people see that they are living too freely, there is no problem. They can even call to contact their families.

They could see many public figures on TV speaking out, demanding that the two of them be severely punished, of course, because of the Extreme Sky Explosion [bombing] incident. The boiling slogan of "severely punish the murderer" is enough to see the anger of the Cui family.

However, Zhuang Bifan was not worried about this at all, he knew that he was detained here, but Fan Zinong was putting pressure on him, and he also showed an attitude to the outside world. If the Huaxia Empire really wanted to try him, it would have submitted them to the prosecution department long ago.

They spent three or four days without their freedom. After eating the breakfast sent by Fan Zinong that day, I took him to a closed room with a table and a computer. There was a headset on the table.

Fan Zinong motioned for him to sit in front of the computer and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hopes to talk to you!"

Zhuang Bifan sat down and asked, "What is it about?"

"I don't know!" Fan Zinong wouldn't tell him in advance even if he knew, so that he would have time to prepare.

After waiting for a few minutes, a dialog box appears on the computer asking for a video. Fan Zinong took over the communication. And then he left. A few seconds later, a short-haired man in his thirties appeared on the screen with a microphone in front of him.

A deep voice came from the computer's stereo: "Mr. Zhuang, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Zhuang Bifan put on a headset and said with a smile: "I am also honored to meet you, His Royal Highness the Prince!" This prince can often be seen on TV.

"Mr. Zhuang should also know the situation outside. ”

Zhuang Bifan didn't deliberately pretend to be deaf and dumb, nodded and said, "Even if you don't know, you can probably imagine it." I remember that among the first AYBY users, there was the Transportation Bureau. It should be time for the traffic jam to start outside. ”

As he said, now the traffic chaos in the major cities of the entire Chinese Empire, coupled with the failure of AYBY on the computers of some other enterprises and departments, the entire public order is disrupted, and social chaos is inevitable.

However, that didn't seem to affect Ming Ziluo's mood, he nodded and said, "Yes." Until now, no one in the world has been able to develop antivirus software that can contain the Xiaobao virus - except for AYBY. ”

"Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not here to talk to me about this!"

"Not really. I am more interested in the cooperation proposal that you conveyed earlier by Lieutenant Colonel Fan. ”

"Say so. Zhuang Bifan smiled and said. "Is there a possibility of cooperation?"

"We can't decide yet, there are some things that we want to communicate with Mr. Zhuang again. ”

"You say. ”

Ming Ziluo pondered for a moment and asked a question: "What I am most curious about is why Mr. Zhuang proposed to ask for the private land of our royal family. ”

Zhuang Bifan didn't find it strange for him to ask such a question. As the heir to the throne, Ming Ziluo will of course worry that national security will be threatened. He didn't answer directly, but asked a question instead: "I also want to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." What does Your Highness think of the current agriculture in the Empire?"

"The empire has a small arable land per capita, but it can feed more than two billion people, and I think no one can deny the great achievements of the empire's agriculture. Ming Ziluo did not answer his question directly.

Although Zhuang Bifan was not interested in such diplomatic words, he didn't want to dwell on this place, but said with a smile: "But why does the empire still need to import a large amount of corn and soybeans every year?"

Without waiting for the other party's reaction, he continued: "The territory of the Chinese Empire is the largest in the world, and the cultivated land area is also the first in the world, but it is the first in the world, and it only accounts for 17% of the world's cultivated land. And the world's population accounts for one-third of the world's population. With the exception of the humid and warm regions of the east, agriculture in other regions is subsistence because of climate, topography and water sources. And the feed and oil for all kinds of animal husbandry needs simply cannot be met. ”

He paused for a moment, looking at Ming Ziluo on the screen pursed his lips and did not speak, before continuing: "After decades of urbanization, the empire has reduced the agricultural population to 10%, in order to make agriculture intensive, because the agricultural output value is too low, and the farmers who cultivate small plots of land will not have enough to eat at all, even if they have various subsidies. So there is a lot of farmland that has been abandoned for farming. But the land is privately owned, so the only way to intensify agriculture is to reduce the agricultural population. But intensive agriculture has lower yield bottlenecks. More than 30 years have passed since the completion of agricultural intensification, but food production has increased by less than 10 percent. And these are the results of agricultural subsidies to induce farms to abandon the cultivation of cash crops and the use of genetically modified seeds. ”

Just like the world he came from, the agriculture of this world also suffers from problems such as the reduction of arable land, excessive use of pesticides, and serious pests and diseases.

Intensive agriculture is indeed very efficient. However, the unit yield is far less than that of intensive farming. Everyone knows this, but there is a contradiction here.

The whole society is inflationary, but the purchase price of grain has not increased for decades. The grain grown on one acre of land can only be sold for a few thousand yuan a year, and the profit may be one or two thousand yuan. The money to buy a piece of clothing to wear is gone. Who still cultivates intensively to grow food. If agriculture wants to develop sustainably, there is only one way, and let farmers make money.

In fact, it is also a contradiction that cannot be resolved by a country. If you don't have the money to buy a car, you don't have the money to buy a house, you don't have the money to get dressed, or you don't even have the money to see a doctor, you can put up with it. But having enough to eat is the most basic requirement, and if food prices rise with inflation, the people will not have enough to eat, and they will rebel. So other things can be inflated, but food can't be inflated.

Therefore, the Chinese Empire made every effort to guide urbanization, so that farmers could work in the cities to earn money and buy food. The land was then turned into intensive farms, allowing the remaining peasants to feed the empire while also feeding themselves.

This can be said to be the basic national policy of the Chinese Empire, and Ming Ziluo certainly knows it. And I also know that the agriculture of the Chinese Empire has reached a very dangerous situation now. The Chinese Empire had a large population and a large amount of arable land, but the output was far from satisfying the problem of eating.

In a developed country, it is not enough to produce enough food to meet the food rations. The people need all kinds of meat. And this meat has to require a lot of grain for feed. For example, soybeans, such as corn, and so on. The Chinese Empire needs to import more than 100 million tons of corn every year, and soybeans are not less than this number. But these figures are deliberately hidden under the more sensitive production of rations. As long as the people see how much rice and wheat are produced, and feel that there is still a lot of grain production, they can feel at ease. I don't care about the yield of other foods that I don't usually eat.

But as the manager of the country, how could Ming Ziluo not care. Food security is related to the stability of the Chinese Empire and the stability of their Ming clan.

"You're right, but what do you mean?"

Zhuang Bifan smiled and said, "I have a way to build a big farm on that piece of royal land. It can ensure that the empire does not have to worry about food shortages. "While the food issue is important, it's just nonsense. He needed a base on land. And the royal reserve is located in the heart of the Eurasian continent, which is the best place.

Ming Ziluo's eyes flickered and asked, "It seems that Mr. Zhuang has a very close relationship with Aurora Island." ”

Zhuang Bifan laughed and said, "Your Highness." Do you think that if Aurora Island really has ambitions for the land of Earth. Need to do that?"

Ming Ziluo didn't know if he believed his words, but he didn't put the topic on Aurora Island: "But I'm still curious why Mr. Zhuang chose agriculture." Other industries I want to make money faster!"

"If I'm just trying to make money, there's a lot of way. ”

"And what do you want?"

"I want status. No one dares to think about stepping on a position when they see me!" His face was serious. "And that land is of little use to your Ming clan. You don't suffer in exchange for other things. That's probably the most convincing reason.

Looking at his serious face, Ming Ziluo half believed his words. If he controls the food security of the empire, plus Zhuang Bifan's other series of plans, as long as he succeeds, he Zhuang Bifan will become a new force in the empire that can at least be equal to the current top wealthy families in the empire.

For Zhuang Bifan to rise, although it doesn't seem to harm their Ming clan's interests too much, he is also very worried. If food security is in foreign hands, if something happens, the Ming can also rely on their prestige in the empire to rally the people against it. But if it is in the hands of domestic forces, it may become a sharp sword against the Ming clan.

However, if this exchange can be reached, it will actually be very beneficial to the Ming family. First of all, Mingshi will break into some industries that have been difficult to gain a foothold in the past, and can even control, such as electricity and automobiles, and can also strengthen the control of major cities through garbage disposal.

In the end, since Zhuang Bifan's rise was not by infringing on the interests of their Ming family, it was to dig meat from other families, and it also invisibly hit other families. This is also in Ming's interest.

Zhuang Bifan saw him hesitate for a moment, but he still nodded and agreed, "Our Ming family agrees to cooperate with you." ”

"Including the stocks of the North Railway?" Zhuang Bifan smiled cheerfully. The plan in his heart was the most crucial step.

"Yes, but Mr. Zhuang wants to give us a reason for the royal family. If Mr. Zhuang has a close relationship with Aurora Island, I think it will not be difficult to do. ”

Ming Ziluo didn't laugh. He said with a straight face: "In addition, before that, Mr. Zhuang needs to find a reason to get himself out of the Extreme Sky Explosion [Explosion] incident. ”

Zhuang Bifan understood what he meant. It is also clear that if Ming Ziluo does not have conclusive evidence, he may not be able to detain himself and Zhu Tao here without handing them over to the police station. Keeping him here is nothing more than trying to put pressure on him. Now that the goal has not been achieved, he simply doesn't care.

But that's not a big deal for Zhuang Bifan. He smiled and said to Ming Ziluo: "Your Highness, that's no problem at all, but I hope Your Highness can cooperate with one or two." "If you want Ming to give up the shares of North Railway, you just need to put enough pressure on it. However, the Polar Sky Explosion [Explosion] incident still needs Ming's intervention to quickly subside.

Then he spoke his mind.

Ming Ziluo listened to his suggestion, lowered his eyes and muttered for a moment, and said, "Okay, I will cooperate with you." ”

As Zhuang Bifan said, if Aurora Island has ambitions for people and the earth, it is really impossible to defend with the current human strength. In that case, why don't he be more generous and believe in Zhuang Bifan. If Zhuang Bifan's words are not credible, even if he disagrees, the result will not change much, but if it is credible, he does not need to worry, and he can maintain a relatively friendly relationship with Zhuang Bifan.
