Jonas asked, "What's the matter with you?" Willing to serve below. ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "I want to buy a batch of seeds from your country, and I also hope that Mr. Ambassador will coordinate more." ”

Jonas couldn't help but ask, "What did you say?" Seed? ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "That's right, I want to buy a batch of the best quality seeds, including wheat, corn, and so on. ”

Jonas asked, "What do you want these things for?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "What else can you do, of course, is to grow food and then keep it for food." ”

China's agricultural level has been ahead of the world for a long time, especially China's unique intensive cultivation and production methods, so that the grain yield of ancient China has long ranked first in the world, which is also a reason for the large number of Chinese, but after the middle of the Qing Dynasty, due to China's isolation and the rapid development of Western agricultural technology, China gradually fell behind.

No matter what era it is, agriculture is the foundation of the country, and it is impossible for people to go hungry to engage in industry, so Lin Yuan thought of buying high-quality seeds from the United Kingdom, Jonas nodded, and said, "I will coordinate this matter with the businessmen in the country." ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "It's already March now, and in another two months, it will be time to plant crops in the Northeast, so I hope you can deliver the seeds as soon as possible." Lin Yuan smiled mysteriously and said, "If you can deliver the seeds within ten days, I am willing to give 200,000 of the one million pounds you gave me, what do you think?" ”

When Jonas heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Good! No problem, within ten days, you can send someone to Yingkou Port to pick up the goods. ”

As soon as Jonas left, Lin Yuan came to the special command and said to Tao Zheng inside: "Help me contact the division commanders of each division, as well as the Beijing ship, I want to hold a video conference." ”

Tao Zheng asked, "Do you have to have a video?" Isn't it okay to audio? I'm afraid our relay power is not that large. ”

Lin Yuan said: "This matter is very important, it is related to our life and death, so it is necessary to hold such a meeting. ”

Tao Zheng said: "Okay then, we can talk to them tonight." ”

In the evening, all the people had arrived, with the help of the video call function of the communicator, Lin Yuan saw each of the chief officers, Lin Yuan said to them: "The reason why we used video calls this time is to hope to arouse everyone's great attention, in the previous battles, we captured a large number of Russian prisoners of war, I don't know how everyone dealt with them?" ”

The 1st Division was the first to start fighting, and they were the first to capture prisoners of war, so the commander of the 1st Division first said: "After we captured the prisoners of war, we let them work, like when we built fortifications near Lesozavodsk, we used a lot of prisoners of war. ”

The commander of the 3rd Division also said: "We also captured a lot of prisoners of war, but we don't have the task of building fortifications here, so the prisoners of war have nothing to do." ”

Lin Yuan listened to the reports of other people and found that most of the prisoners of war were like this, so he asked, "Are these prisoners of war managed?" Are there any disobedient ones? ”

Several division commanders said: "These prisoners of war are very obedient, there is no disobedience, and we have also used the strategy of the Russians to control Russia in the prisoner of war camp, so the situation in the prisoner of war camp has always been stable." Lin Yuan said: "It's good that they are obedient, I called everyone this time to let these prisoners of war do something." Lin Yuan said this deliberately, and when everyone's attention turned to himself, he said: "I believe everyone knows that in our time, the matter of reclaiming the Great Northern Wilderness, we will also do such a thing now." "The Great Northern Wilderness refers to the Nenjiang River Basin of Heilongjiang, the Sanjiang Plain and other vast areas, where the land is fertile, the most suitable for farming, but because the Qing court forbade the Han people to enter the Northeast, in the Qing Dynasty here was almost not developed, after the founding of New China, the organization of demobilized soldiers, farmers and others carried out wasteland planting here, turning this place into a large-scale commercial grain base. Lin Yuan said: "Now we will bring the prisoners of war to the wasteland, let them open up the wasteland and plant, now it is not time to plant, first organize the prisoners of war to burn the wasteland, etc., and in ten days, high-quality grain seeds can be transported, and wait until May, when the weather is warmer, we will plant again." ”

Everyone was silent when they heard this plan, and Lin Yuan continued: "I know that this matter is very difficult, first of all, the problem of prisoners of war, everyone must be worried that prisoners of war will escape, in fact, there is no need, the Russian soldiers are also really poor people, if it is not for a full meal, they will not enter the army, their life on our side is much better than they are at home." ”

"When we reach a certain level, we can even follow their wishes and let these Russian soldiers settle in China and turn them into Chinese citizens. As for the specific plan, we will discuss it after we go back, and I hope you will understand that this matter is of great significance, and now we still have a considerable part of our grain to be transported from the Guannai, and when we finish reclamation, we will be able to truly achieve self-sufficiency in grain, and we will not have to rely on the Qing court. ”

Han Mingguang asked: "Then what does this matter have to do with our Beijing ship?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "We don't have experts in agriculture on our aircraft carriers, but there are many soldiers who used to be farmers, and there are some officers and soldiers who have learned agricultural techniques during their college years. ”

Han Mingguang said: "Okay, let's go and prepare for this matter." ”

When these things were dealt with, Lin Yuan began to deal with the matter of letting the farmers of the aluminum factory move, Lin Yuan thought about it, contacted Zhang Hua in Beijing, and said with a smile: "Hello Boss Zhang, I have a big deal to give to you." ”

Zhang Hua smiled: "As long as you look for me, there will be no good thing, say, what is the matter with you?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "The British are going to open an aluminum factory near Mukden, do you know the way?" Zhang Hua said: "I know about this matter, what's wrong?" Does this matter have anything to do with me? ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Of course, didn't you listen to me? I have a big deal to give to you, you quickly set up a Zhang's aluminum company in the name of Zhang's Industrial Company, and then this matter will be handled by your company, I will no longer show up in public, the first thing you need to do is to move the people near the factory site. ”

Zhang Hua asked, "Move away?" Where to move? ”

Lin Yuan said: "Our side is preparing to reclaim the Great Northern Wilderness, if these people are willing, they can come over, and we can give them land." ”

Zhang Hua nodded and said, "Okay, I'll organize people to go to Fengtian, but I have a question, why do I organize people to relocate?" Wouldn't it be better for you to use the prestige of the Governor of the Northeast to mobilize the people to relocate? ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I have a lot of enemies in the Qing court, don't you still know the way?" If I go to get the people to relocate, they will definitely find all kinds of reasons to buckle my hat and find trouble, so it's better for you to go. ”

When Zhang Hua heard this, he was all angry, and said: "It's just that you don't have a good thing to look for me, you still let me carry the black pot for you!" ”
