On the north side of the central area of Baotou City, inside a huge building, Baotou in just 5 years, compared with before, is completely different, from a dilapidated border village, into a modern city, the speed of development, even faster than the speed of Shenzhen in later generations, for no other reason, a large amount of financial support, and a large number of manpower as a reliance.

The arrival of Yang Yuanzhao, advanced vision and forward-looking, made him very clear that for China, what is the core of a place, Baotou as the center of the Baotou Special Economic Zone, temporary deindustrialization, turned into a commercial area and scientific research base, just maintain a few small-scale real yàn factories, such an instant decision, even in later generations, it is unlikely that anyone has such courage, but Yang Yuanzhao did this, not broken or standing, Baotou has a shallow foundation, this aspect is Baotou's weakness, but from another aspect, Isn't it that there are few inherent forces and little resistance.

From the very beginning, Yang Yuanzhao had a huge influence on many things in the northwest, and after a strong push, the large-scale construction of Baotou began again. Strong capital advantage and massive manpower, created the current Baotou a qiē, this administrative building, with a total construction area of more than 200,000 square meters, divided into eight parts, with the core area and seven subsidiary areas, corresponding to the North Star and the Big Dipper, from the beginning of the design to the final completion, it took only 11 months, Baotou with Baotou speed, so that Baotou city, glow with new vitality and vitality.

The building, named Northwest Hall, is actually the core of Northwest and has just been put into use. It has been well received, and the current government core area is located in the North Star. Where it is used as a voting session for the Northwest Joint Conference and some important topics, it is also called the Northwest venue. Among the remaining seven, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Communications, the Taxation Bureau, and the Military Commission are among them, mainly to realize the intelligence of all aspects of the government.

These government smarts aren't perfect. Yang Yuanzhao also knows that this cannot solve all the problems, and even more, referring to the composition of some ministries and commissions in later generations and some practices of other powers in the world, more than 20 different ministries and commissions are also being prepared and planned, but these are indeed the most important in China at present.

The arrival of the Nanyang Chinese, Yang Yuanzhao attaches great importance to the whole Nanyang. Not to mention Indochina, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia. Papua New Guinea, which is part of Southeast Asia, is rich in produce. It is a vast area that produces a variety of tropical fruits and agricultural products. It is an important addition to the future of China, in any era. Whether it is a slave society, a feudal society, a capitalist society, or later New China, the food problem is a key, how much grain can feed how many people, this is almost fixed.

Compared with other major countries, Chinese civilization has a long history, as early as 5,000 years ago, it flourished in the Yangtze River and Yellow River basin in the Central Plains, and China has also become the only ancient country among the world's four major ancient civilizations that has not been broken, and the light of civilization is the best in the world.

It is this kind of world-class civilization that has made China lose a certain heritage, and the long-term use of various metals has exhausted most of the steel, copper and other mineral deposits, and the rest is mostly some poor minerals; Long-term cultivation, but also make the land of the Central Plains relatively barren, Qin and Han dynasties, the Guanzhong Plain is still the granary of the world, Qin unified the world's heritage, but to the Song Dynasty, Guanzhong became a barren borderland, and then to the Ming and Qing dynasties, China's granary, from the Yellow River Basin of Guanzhong, Henan, gradually to the south, first Hubei Anhui, then Hunan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and even to the end of the Qing Dynasty, Guangdong and Guangxi have become important granaries.

This trend of change is in line with the pace of the Chinese nation, and only these newly developed areas will have more fertile soil and be able to support more and more of China's population.

Yang Yuanzhao is a traveler, very clear about a basic national policy of China at that time, time has passed, he does not need to comment on the good and bad of that policy, but one thing is certain, population is very important for a country, throughout the changes of the times, especially from the 20th century among the powerful countries, can really go to the top of the world, in addition to the huge land area, population is also an important factor. Countries like Australia and Canada are big enough, Canada is even bigger than China's territory, and they are also rich in resources, Australia supplies almost half of the world's resources, but the fatal wound of population has never made them stand among the world's great powers.

Countless examples in later generations have proved that relying only on China's land can not feed so many people, even if Mongolia is added, there are 1.5 million square kilometers of land, but most of it is barren, even if China manages better than Mongolia in later generations, the income is not much, and it cannot support the huge population, so it is inevitable to expand the land that can be cultivated.

In the middle, Southeast Asia, which is located near China and is a traditional tropical region, has become an inevitable choice, just as the Americas are the Americas of the Americans, in this era of the law of the jungle and the law of the forest, when China has enough ability, it can also shout that Asia is China's Asia, and even the strong national history and the influence circle of Chinese tradition are no problem to include themselves.

Yang Yuanzhao has attached great importance to this place from the very beginning, whether it is an immigrant farm or a support for Chinese businessmen, and now he has seen the first results, of course, he is fully supportive, and even the silk stocking loom that has been kept secret has been taken out, in order to tie these Chinese in Nanyang to their chariots.

Yang Yuanzhao sat in the office, the slanting sun hanging in the west, shining in the office, it looked warm, the light was in the dark shadows, and in the other direction, a short man sat respectfully, the room was quiet, and neither of them said anything.

Yang Yuanzhao looked at the short young man in front of him, it was Shi Lei of the Intelligence Bureau, to be honest, he has indeed worked hard in the past few years, the Intelligence Department in the Northwest started from scratch, from a very meager foundation, and gradually came out, now not only the domestic intelligence can be delivered in a timely manner, almost Beiyang and the Revolutionary Party, there are some troubles that will be known by this side, and the foreign network is also improving. However, I don't know if it's because of walking a lot in the dark, Shi Lei seems to like to hide in the dark more and more, maybe it's a habit, even in the base camp in the northwest.

"Do you know their purpose?" Taking a sip of tea, Yang Yuanzhao asked.

Shi Lei knew what Yang Yuanzhao was asking, sorted it out a little, and began to say: "Chen Jiageng's purpose is just to simply buy the machine, which is very simple, but the 6 major Chinese families are a little mysterious, and this meeting was also proposed by them, but the specific purpose is ominous!" ”

Yang Yuanzhao's eyebrows raised, Shi Lei's answer was very cautious, but it was not the answer he wanted, and then asked: "What is the estimate of the intelligence department?" ”

"They may have come for support!"

"Oh, what support?"

"According to the information we have obtained, these Nanyang families are inextricably linked with the Chinese countries that were once in Borneo and even Southeast Asia, and may even be the separate bets of the Chinese families, all along, they have been seeking to build a country, but they have not succeeded, it may be the strength we have shown, they see hope, and want us to help them!"

Shi Lei simply explained the real purpose of the intelligence department to the Nanyang delegation, Yang Yuanzhao thought about it simply, it is really like this, these Chinese rich families have been deeply rooted for so many years, they must have **, so many Chinese countries in the past, after the arrival of the great powers, became like castles on the beach, and also let them know that without strong support, without their own force, the country that looks beautiful is really the moon in the mirror.

Originally, maybe they were just going to slowly become a rich man, but around 1908, the emergence of the northwest, with the help of the German brand of Harpy, immigrated a large number of Chinese to Borneo, at first, not many people found out, but with the passage of time, especially the German-American farms only hid the eyes of the colonial authorities, and did not hide the eyes of the people, with more and more people, it was almost inevitable to have communication with the outside.

Upstarts like Tan Kah Kee and some small-scale landlords and wealthy businessmen may not know, but they have been rooted in the South Seas for hundreds of years and are pervasive, and they have too many channels to discover the movements of the northwest, and then they begin to look at the northwest to see what they are going to do.

However, after watching the gradual control of Borneo in the northwest and the 4 million more Chinese in Southeast Asia, the German-American farm has a strong force and even an army, which also makes many Chinese families see the opportunity, relying on others is never as good as relying on themselves.

In the past few hundred years, the exploitation and harvesting of the Chinese by the powers of Southeast Asia have been tightened by the safety line in the hearts of the Chinese, and they are desperately looking for strength, but this power is not at all, counting on the Qing government, don't be kidding, even the people in China are not valued by the Qing government, let alone abroad.

In order to protect themselves and appeal, Zheng Mingsheng and other Nanyang families began to support Sun Yat-sen, striving to overthrow the Qing government and establish the Republic of China. The choice was right, and the approach was not bad, but the development of things was not based on the will of the individual, and the League overthrew the Manchus, but Nanyang was still the same, and the revolutionary party did not gain the leadership of China, so it had no time to take care of Southeast Asian affairs.

The money was once again wasted, and the Chinese families in Nanyang also realized that they had to rely on themselves, and in this case, the emergence of the powerful northwest became their natural choice, and they must seize this opportunity.

There was a knock on the door outside the door, Yang Yuanzhao raised his head, at this moment, it is impossible to knock on the door to disturb him without any major event, and he can enter the vicinity of this office, except for the heads of the government, only its secretary and other people chatted with a few people, and casually agreed to let him in, sure enough, it was the secretary, the secretary walked next to Yang Yuanzhao, and after saying it in his ear, Yang Yuanzhao slapped the table and said: "Sishi, your opinion is right, they really came to ask for support!"
