In the quiet, the military strength of the northwest has increased rapidly, although the strength of the army is still so much, but the cooperation between each other has been tacit, and the strength of countless new equipment has made many staff officers think of countless ideas, one after another based on the emergence of tactics based on new equipment, so that the equipment has really played a huge role, and the strength of the Northwest Army has climbed to a higher level above the original peak.

This force, when it didn't burst out, no one would have thought how powerful this force was, even Yang Yuanzhao, the leader of the northwest, didn't know that a sharp knife, just like that, in silence, sharpened enough to make China go to the throne.

The southern part of Shaanxi, located in the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains, there are a large number of mountains, there are also valleys, is a relatively good land, the main force of the northwest is placed in the western provinces, Shaanxi as one of the best land in the northwest, in addition to the surroundings of Xi'an, because of transportation and historical reasons, has become an industrial base, most of Shaanxi, or agriculture-based.

The agricultural foundation of the northwest has turned Shaanxi, which has declined, into a real granary, a large number of deserted, even barren land, began to produce more and more grain, some land-related companies also began to appear, seed companies directly changed the tradition of the Chinese, the past was the era of seeds obtained by retaining seeds, gone forever, although ordinary seeds are several times more expensive than ordinary grain, but the rapid increase in production still makes small landlords flock to it. Under the premise that a large amount of land was controlled by the agricultural reclamation company, the remaining corners of the land were scattered in the hands of countless weak small landlords and wealthy peasants. Even if it is a few dozen catties of growth, it is enough to smooth out the investment on the seeds.

It is located in the middle of the Qinling Mountains. A very small basin, as early as 3 years ago, was opened up and became one of the breeding bases of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and one of the 72 most important breeding bases, today, a large number of researchers will be here in the next three months to six months. A total of 109 plant species in 7 categories were studied to identify suitable plants for cultivation in the changing and harsh environment of the Northwest.

From 1908 to the present, a full four years, under the control of Yang Yue, the research in agriculture in the northwest has almost carried wings, gradually flying high, from the very beginning. For the research of continental cotton in the United States, after the first development of cash crops, all kinds of high-quality varieties were almost born from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Agriculture. The largest project that has not yet been seen in this world, and it is also the most critical project for the population. But from beginning to end, it is the most important project in the Northwest. Second only to education in importance. Yang Yuanzhao is well aware that education is about the future. Without enough scientific and technological workers, the foundation he laid for the northwest will be caught up and surpassed by the great powers in a short period of time, and everything he has worked hard to manage will become a flower in the mirror, so from the very beginning, the northwest's investment in education has gradually increased, and has always occupied the largest aspect of the northwest government expenditure, and has spared no effort to train teachers and attract educational talents from the outside.

If education is the road to prosperity and strength, then agriculture is the foundation of the country, and the phrase "no agriculture is unstable" is a wise saying in feudal society, in today's era of science and technology, in the era of world change driven by the great discovery of navigation, it is still the case, food directly determines the number of population, determines the stability of a country, when the amount of food can increase to a certain extent, it will cause changes in the whole China and even the world, and the United States in later generations is to control the pricing power of the world's bulk grain exports by virtue of its strong ability. In extreme cases, an appropriate increase or decrease in the amount of food exports would be sufficient to affect the stability of many countries in the world.

The development of agricultural science and technology in the northwest is very fast, after several years of development, especially Yang Yuanzhao mentioned the development direction, greenhouse technology, carbon dioxide addition, plus professional means, a year of time, the crops in the northwest, at least through three generations, or even through four generations, with different genetic knowledge, looking for special, different quality, different yield seeds, is the sustainable development of the northwest, these basic things, there may be a flash of genius ideas, but more, but it is solid, We will study from the very roots.

Because it is Yang Yuanzhao, he is very aware of this, not only handed over the agricultural aspect to Yang Yue, but also provided rich funds, scientific and effective monitoring methods, multiple systems, a variety of options, Northwest agriculture has moved towards a completely different development path, the rate of improved seeds has increased significantly, the yield has also increased, excellent seeds, fundamentally changed the yield, the previous three or five stones have been considered a high yield, now it has increased several times.

The name Yang Yue did not exist at all in later generations, and he was not a well-known figure in later generations, and a few years after coming to this era, Yang Yuanzhao came into contact with fewer non-well-known geniuses in later generations. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the whole of China began to be in chaos, and the success of the Xinhai Revolution was not so much the success of the revolution as the perverse actions of the Qing government, which had aroused the resentment of all strata of the whole society.

War-torn China, in twenty or thirty years, how many people have been destroyed, even if you are rich and talented, maybe, a stick, a bullet, a massacre, you will lose your life forever, the population base will always represent the probability of genius, but China missed this important time period.

Yang Yue, as an international student at Yale University, is studying agriculture, his foundation is very solid, coupled with his classmates and the Northwest continuous training and hiring, the Northwest Agricultural Research Institute has been very large, with more than 300 research institutes at the expert level, experts in the Northwest can independently carry out subject research, more than 25,000 assistants and auxiliary scientific researchers, various types of plantations, more than 100,000 hectares of experimental fields, and a large number of results are available every year. In just a few years, China has gradually become an exporter of agricultural products from a large importer of agricultural products, and has obtained the right to set prices in many fields.

The cotton crisis and the rubber crisis have made Yang Yuanzhao see that under certain circumstances, the profits in the world commodity prices are manipulated, and some products, I am afraid that a penny, half a penny of growth, will obtain a lot of benefits, and the information age of later generations can still be manipulated on bulk commodities, not to mention that in this era, several cautious shots and price changes have actually made the Northwest gain a lot of benefits. Compared with the more sensitive arms and heavy industry, agriculture in this world, not many people pay attention to it, but people can't leave, the small actions in the northwest have not attracted anyone's attention, they just think it is a normal fluctuation.

The world's population has not reached a certain level, and the pressure on food is not particularly great, even at the beginning of the war, when the whole of Europe was in a mess, the United States, South America, and even the vast colonies had a large amount of farmland and produced countless grains, which supplied the needs of the whole world, and there were unbalanced situations from time to time, but most of them were not short of food, and before the war, even when the two major blocs of the Entente and the Central Powers were preparing for war, the price of grain did not increase very quickly.

From later generations, especially China's 1.3 billion people, with about 7% of the arable land to feed 22% of the world's population, such an initiative, only China can do, thousands of years of cultivation to form a planting tradition, land-based foundation, this is a huge foundation, this foundation has been magnified countless times by the research results of the Agricultural Research Institute, and then affected the whole of China, land and agriculture have become the foundation of the northwest.

Now China, because of the emergence of Yang Yuanzhao this traverser, perhaps in some cases, a little better than the history of China, Mongolia because of the emergence of the northwest has not been independent, more than one million square kilometers of land is very huge, but Mongolia is relatively poor natural conditions, its desertification is huge, can only increase more than 20 million acres of land, maybe only one percent of the country, but the future development is huge, as long as the environmental problems in the northwest are controlled, shelterbelts and grassland construction into the regular continent, Mongolia will provide a steady stream of new land, because the huge land and desert are its disadvantages, but also its advantages, in the south of the Yangtze River and the mature zone, the land has been developed to the extreme, and even for the environment, has to return farmland to forest, the land resources in the north are unlimited for the time being.

However, the reason why the northwest has confidence in food is not in the return of Mongolia, Southeast Asia is the best place to add land, and later Southeast Asia has only set aside about 7.5% of permanent arable land under the premise of ensuring sufficient forest planting rate, because of the abundance of products, so much land is enough to feed enough people. Borneo is the most fertile land for agricultural production compared to Mongolia, and as long as the northwest is firmly under control, the food problem may no longer affect the northwest.

These are the prospects, at any time, agriculture is the key, even if China has enough living space, even if China has more room for manoeuvre, the personality of the Chinese, will make the population grow explosively, at that time, food, is still a very important, must be solved problem, this is the root of everything.
