The people take food as the sky, and food is the first thing; This encore not only refers to food safety, but also food security, and food production is a major issue related to the safety of the world.

In the thousands of years of history, the rabbit family has experienced a change of dynasties every few hundred years, and a large part of the reason is the food problem. In the early dynastic period, because of the war, the population was reduced, and there was enough land, and the peasants were able to own their own land, so that they could live and work in peace and contentment. However, in the later period of the dynasty, the population increased, and the phenomenon of land annexation was serious, and a lot of land was obtained by the large landlord class through means. The internal class contradictions began to intensify, and if there was a little bit of natural disaster at this time, when the peasants could not survive, as long as someone shouted that King X would not pay for food, or the prince would have a kind of Xiangning, then after the warlord and the victor were kings, the change of dynasty would naturally occur. Then, due to the war and chaos, the population decreased sharply, and the land was divided again, and the dynasty entered a fairly stable and stable period, waiting for the population to grow again, and the land was annexed again.

And so on and so forth!

Now that Datang has Ye Jinyu's interference, it has begun to vigorously open up new territories outward, once there is a harvest, I don't have to worry about the problem of insufficient land in a few hundred years. However, when the Tang Dynasty was first established, it was in the stage when the world initially determined that the population was sparse and the land was sufficient; Therefore, land is not a big problem, but the number of people is the shortcoming that restricts outward expansion. But Boss Ye is not a real immortal, and he can't conjure up a real person, so he can only find a way to use the existing manpower.

And bringing high-quality grain to Datang from modern times is the best way. Like corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes are all high-yielding crops that do not pick the ground. Not picking up the land means increasing the area of cultivated land in disguise, and high yield means that the same people can produce more food to feed more people; Thus freeing more labor from the land. They will become pioneers, they will become armies, they will become immigrants, they will become seeds to digest the newly occupied lands.

As for the hybrid rice with a yield of thousands of catties per mu, Ye Jinyu did not consider it; Because the millet grown from hybrid rice cannot be planted. It is more reliable to use species introduced from South America.

Wait a minute, let Lu Yuwei buy herself a few hundred catties of potato seeds, and try to see if she can bring them to Datang or the rainforest world! Speaking of the rainforest world, Ye Jinyu suddenly found that he had never seen the food of the people in the rainforest world, and he didn't know if there were higher-yielding crops there.

A potato made Ye Jinyu's thoughts desert, and Director Du saw that he had not said anything, so he asked another question:

"Boss, is the pot camel machine still in production? We don't have enough manpower to produce steel suits; and a group of people to produce weapons. ”

One sentence woke Ye Jinyu up from the cranky thoughts of grain crops, and hurriedly said when he heard the words:

"The pot camel machine can't be stopped, and if there are not enough people, recruit people! It really doesn't work, you can outsource the weapons project. The pot camel machine must not be stopped, and the pot camel machine must not be forgotten to install on the bicycle! ”

While Ye Jinyu was here to determine the work projects of the old workers in the agricultural machinery factory, General Zhang was also reporting his latest findings.

One by one, the chiefs hung on the wall, with serious expressions; General Zhang continued:

"Judging from the description of the target, the application prospects of these two new circuit boards are still expected. In particular, the circuit board that can generate lightning can generate hundreds of millions of kilowatt-hours of electrical energy, which is enough to drive an electromagnetic cannon or a catapult device! If our aircraft carrier can use such circuit boards, the problem of the power source of the catapult will be solved, and the aircraft carrier will be able to enter service ahead of schedule. ”

At this time, a chief dressed in an air force uniform on the wall asked: "Comrade Zhaozhong, as far as I know, the navy has already started to invest in anti-gravity vertical take-off and landing aircraft, and at this time, it has invested lightning circuit boards to change electromagnetic catapults. ”

The Air Force has tendered for anti-gravity vertical take-off and landing aircraft, but the risk of this new type of aircraft is still relatively large; Therefore, the Air Force hopes that HNA will also participate in the use of VTOL aircraft in order to share the investment and risk.

HNA didn't buy it, and on the other side of the wall, a naval chief said: "Now that the brand-new anti-gravity aircraft has not been skimmed yet, the international environment around us can't wait for a day." Then he said to General Zhang:

"Comrade Zhaozhong, you are very interested in this thunderbolt circuit board, is there any sample now, otherwise it will be provided to the electromagnetic catapult department for testing."

General Zhang didn't want to get involved in the open guns and hidden arrows of the head of the air force and navy, so when he heard this, he immediately continued:

"That's the next thing I'm going to report, when discussing lightning boards and fire boards, the target made a new request to me, he doesn't want to settle by money anymore, but wants to barter; And there is only one need he mentioned, and that is weapons; With that, he paused to let the chiefs on the wall digest the latest news.

After all, the increase in the requirements of the goal indicates that the self-awareness of the goal is improving, and the understanding of one's own ability is also deepening. The boy who didn't know anything about the world was growing up step by step.

After waiting for a while, General Zhang said:

"Although he didn't say it explicitly, according to my speculation, the weapon he was talking about should be a modern light weapon, at least a World War II weapon that uses smokeless propellants."

After hearing that the situation had changed, and even the requirements had been greatly raised, the Grand Chief couldn't help but ask, "How can you see it?" ”

"Target said he wanted us to help him design a weapon program modeled after the Middle Ages; Based on what we know and speculate before, the target can go to a place where cold weapons are the mainstay, supplemented by magic or Taoism; There should be no shortage of cold weapons there, and then he developed gunpowder weapons; And I've talked to him about black powder weapons that can provide the best ratio, but he's obviously not interested. Come to think of it, he already has a decent black powder weapon. ”

"Now that there are cold weapons and gunpowder weapons, the next step is definitely to develop smokeless gunpowder and explosives, which are more difficult. In addition, siege artillery should also be taken into account, and our 107 fire will not be included in his purchase list. ”

The reasoning is simple, but it has its truth. However, on the issue of weapons, the chiefs have come to the conclusion before, that is, self-defense weapons can be provided, but it is very inappropriate to sell them on a large scale.

After all, it is not a weapon for export, if it is foreign aid, then the leaders present don't say a word, they just nod and agree; Anyway, when the weapon goes abroad, no matter who gets it, it has nothing to do with the country when it is used to make trouble; As long as there is a lot of Guo Jia's interests, it will be fine.

But now the weapons are going in the country, and they are deep in the hinterland of the motherland; A large number of modern weapons are systematically digested in the territory, and no one can bear the responsibility if something happens; This is no longer a matter of interests, but of politics!

However, this time, the chief did not categorically veto, but asked: "Comrade Zhaozhong, we have already reached a conclusion on this issue, but since you have raised this issue again, there must be new ideas, so it is better for you to talk about your thoughts first." ”
