Industry and agriculture are the main force in regional development, agriculture is the foundation of industry, industry is the cradle of weaponry, and weaponry is an important component of the army's combat effectiveness. As long as the two legs of industry and agriculture are coordinated, you can straighten your waist and speak wherever you go in the future. Therefore, before he really stepped onto the big stage of the world, Chen Feng especially needed to adjust these two legs.

Therefore, after the meeting, Chen Feng conducted a one-month inspection of the entire theater, mainly to check the development of various industrial zones and agricultural and animal husbandry areas, during the inspection Chen Feng found many problems, now the development of heavy industry and light industry in the north of the province is relatively balanced, but the speed of development is not very fast, there are 14 iron and steel production enterprises in the whole province, the annual production of 10.9 million tons of crude steel, 20 million tons of iron, can not meet the needs of the military and civilian production and life of the eighth theater. Especially to support the realization of the huge plan formulated by Chen Feng before, this steel output is far from enough.

Therefore, after consuming 110,000 system points, Chen Feng exchanged 5 steel production lines with an annual output of 5 million tons to the system, which were transported to Baotou, Yikezhaomeng, Datong, Wuhai and Ulaanbaatar.

In addition, the development of agriculture and animal husbandry in Saibei Province is seriously lagging behind, especially in agriculture. The largest agricultural and animal husbandry industry in the province is located in the Hetao Plain of Bayannur League, but due to the sparse population and backward agricultural technology, the grain output of the entire Hetao Plain is not as high as imagined.

According to statistics, in 1940, the Ba League had a total of 1.86 million mu of arable land. The planting area of grain crops is 1.73 million mu, the total output is 230 million catties, and the grain output per mu is only about 110 catties. Although it has increased by more than 70 million catties compared with 1939, for the entire Saibei Province, this grain still cannot solve the food ration problem for everyone, and the food gap in Saibei Province is still very large.

In addition, there are 1.01 million heads of livestock in the entire Ba League, an increase of 216,000 heads compared with 1939, and last year the Ba League provided about 300,000 tons of meat for the province.

Although the development momentum is good, it is still far from what Chen Feng needs. Ju Chen Feng knows. The production potential of this part of the Pakistan League is very huge. In later generations, the crop planting area here was as high as more than 10 million acres. The planting area of grain crops alone can reach more than 5 million mu, and the total output is as much as 6.03 billion catties.

Due to the pleasant climate of the Hetao Plain, the soil is fertile, and the large and small Qianmo are criss-crossed. It is suitable for planting spring wheat, rice, millet, millet, soybean, sorghum, corn and other crops. In the future, the Ba League mainly relied on wheat, corn and some cash crops. Its annual output of wheat can exceed 1 billion catties per year. The yield per mu is as high as 670 catties. Corn can easily exceed 5 billion catties, and the yield per mu can even reach 1,500 catties.

In addition, the Hetao Plain is also a well-known pastoral area in later generations, and the annual livestock stock is generally controlled at about 10 million heads. The feeding capacity can reach 20 million heads, and some agricultural products can reach about half of the country's total output.

This is the land of fish and rice in Chen Feng's mind, and this is the Hetao Plain in Chen Feng's heart. The lack of agricultural output is seriously restricting the development of Saibei Province and the Eighth Theater, and without food, it is impossible to recruit more troops, and without enough troops, the combat effectiveness of the troops cannot grow rapidly, and this phenomenon must be changed.

It is not very easy to change the status quo, and the main reason for the lagging development of agriculture and animal husbandry in the northern part of the country is that the population is small and the agricultural technology is backward.

On April 20, Chen Feng once again made a radio speech to the people of the whole country, calling on landless peasants from all over the country to migrate to Saibei Province, and told farmers across the country that as soon as they arrived in Saibei Province, the provincial government would immediately give each of them 20 mu of land and most of the means of production needed for production and life, including farm tools, seeds, and some funds needed to build houses.

Of course, none of these things are free, and farmers need to apply to the government and repay a portion of their harvest every year until they are repaid.

In addition, Chen Feng also called for the population of the enemy-occupied areas to also be transferred to Saibei Province, and Chen Feng would give them the same treatment, as long as they arrived in Saibei Province, they would still have 20 acres of land per person. In order to ensure the implementation of the entire plan, Chen Feng deliberately mobilized 200 million US dollars from the small treasury of the Chen family for this special fund.

The population problem is solved, then the rest is the problem of agricultural technology, this Chen Feng himself does not understand very well, so he has to ask for help from the little fox, the little fox is also happy, after deducting Chen Feng's two points of consulting fees, in addition to Chen Feng an answer, no matter how advanced agricultural technology is now not suitable for promotion in Saibei Province, on the one hand, there is no foundation, on the other hand, the promotion of agricultural technology is a long-term process, there is not much effect in a short period of time, Chen Feng now needs to see immediate results, Therefore, the promotion of agricultural technology cannot be used as the main means.

According to the little fox's opinion, Chen Feng can spend a part of his points to exchange a batch of excellent seeds for the system, and he doesn't need too many tricks, he needs three kinds of wheat - wheat, corn, and potatoes. It is then given to all farmers for free in the name of the provincial government of Saibei, as long as the farmers return the seeds to the government after harvesting, so that the grain production in Saibei province can be greatly increased in a short period of time.

There is also fertilizer This kind of thing is also indispensable, and agricultural machinery can not be used, but these things require a lot of money, and the pressure on the government to promote it for free is too great, but it can be promoted on a small scale and on a small scale.

Chen Feng is also a smart person, he can understand everything. From 1941 to 1942, due to the attrition of the long war, the brutal "sweeping" of the Japanese army and the economic blockade of the diehards of the Nationalist Government, coupled with the invasion of natural disasters, a large increase in non-productive personnel, the financial and economic difficulties of the base areas were encountered.

In the face of such a grim situation, the Yan'an side called on the military and people in the border areas to work harder to carry out a production campaign so that the financial and economic situation in the border areas could be transformed from semi-self-sufficiency to complete self-sufficiency. Despite the lack of experience, after a difficult exploration process, considerable achievements have been made. Among them, the achievements of the 359 Brigade in the development of Nanniwan are particularly prominent.

Thanks to the hard work of all the officers and men of the 359 Brigade, remarkable results have been achieved in the large-scale production campaign. The commanders and fighters of the brigade have cleared more than 201,000 acres of wasteland, turning Nanniwan, which is full of wild wolves and uninhabited, into a "northern Shaanxi and southern Jiangnan" with abundant grains and herds of cattle and sheep. The brigade is completely self-sufficient in food, clothing, and use, and pays 10,000 stone of public grain to the government every year, creating a miracle in the history of army building in ancient and modern China and foreign countries.

In 1941, the 359 Brigade opened up 11,200 acres of wasteland, harvested 1,200 stones of fine grain, and the grain self-sufficiency rate reached 78.5%. In 1942, the cultivated area of the 359 Brigade reached 26,800 mu, and 3,050 stone of fine grain was harvested. In 1943, tremendous achievements were made in the large-scale production movement, and the six districts of Jinsui, Beiyue, Jiaodong, Taihang, Taiyue, and Anhui alone expanded their cultivated land by more than 6 million mu, and the organs and troops in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region needed 39 million kilograms of fine grain (millet) and produced 15 million kilograms by themselves. Many troops in the border areas have achieved self-sufficiency in food and funds, and have achieved the goal of "doing their own work and having enough food and clothing."

Saying Nanniwan does not mean that Nanniwan is to be used as an experimental base, nor is it to send fertilizers and agricultural machinery to Yan'an. Rather, it is necessary to call on some of the troops stationed in the rear to carry out actions similar to those of the large-scale production movement, as in Yan'an.

However, unlike Yan'an, which engaged in production in vain, the large-scale production movement in the Eighth Theater was a large-scale production movement that was to be established under high technology and high mechanization.

Chen Feng was very satisfied with the plan given by the little fox, and he immediately sent a telegram to Zhang Zhigang, commander of the Suixi Military Region, asking him to dispatch five infantry regiments and a large number of technical backbones to survey the southeast of the Hetao Plain, and each regiment selected a 600-square-kilometer area for reclamation.

This order frightened Zhang Zhigang a lot, although it was said that the Suixi Military Region belonged to the rear of the Eighth Theater, and generally speaking, there would not be any major battles, and after the Japanese air force was beaten to pieces, it was already quite safe here. However, it is inconceivable that five infantry regiments were dispatched to reclaim the famine, and it is necessary to know that the five infantry regiments in Ludao are 15,000 people, accounting for one-sixth of the strength of the entire Suixi Military Region.

This is not enough, but the amount of tasks assigned by Commander Chen is not small, what is the concept of a regiment of 600 square kilometers, one square kilometer is equivalent to 1,500 acres, 600 square kilometers is 900,000 acres, according to the calculation of 3,000 people in a regiment, one person can serve 60 acres of land, this is a task that cannot be completed at all.

Last year, Saibei Province had already set up a tractor production plant in the Baotou Heavy Industry Zone, and the tractors produced had also begun to be popularized and used in the vicinity of Guisui, and as long as a number of tractors and tractor drivers were mobilized for the Suixi Military Region, other problems would have been almost solved, and there was also a fertilizer plant in Baotou, and as long as those troops worked hard, the output should be very considerable.

After seeing the plan designed by Chen Feng, Zhang Zhigang stopped talking, if the tractor was really as powerful as Commander Chen said, this task would not be impossible to complete.

Chen Feng believes that as long as the troops do what they do, it will be easy for the people to talk about it at that time, as long as they see something real. When the time comes, whether it is a tractor or a fertilizer, you are not afraid that you will not be able to sell it, you must know that there are really many real local tyrants in this era, but usually these people do not show the mountains and do not show water, and they are very hidden.
