To outsiders, this may seem like a very absurd scene. The top officials of the country gathered and sat there to listen to a teenage boy speak on the principles of state policymaking.

Hua Zhen has just turned eighteen years old, many of his words are very naïve, and people look very naïve, but no one in the venue dares not to take him seriously.

When Huanxiang Industry was first established, many people only regarded Hua Zhenxing as a "prince", and it was the focus of several old people's training, although they were very polite to him, but it was not Hua Zhenxing himself who was respected.

But today's Hua Zhenxing is different, he can become the chief mentor of Yangyuan Valley, just because he himself is really the pioneer of Yangyuan Technique.

Hua Zhenxing raised its own funds and personally trained personnel to set up a center for the cultivation of yuan. After the initial scale of this training system, a large number of trainees were trained.

In the special historical period of the country, civic education has not yet been restored, and the Yangyuan Center and the supporting new alliance study classes have trained personnel urgently needed by departments and institutions at all levels, and temporarily served as a talent screening system.

A government worker suddenly stopped going to work one day, and it turned out that he had received a salary or embezzled public funds to drink. This sounds incredible, but it is not impossible in the country of several miles, and it is a headache.

Regardless of the talent, if you want to become a first-level cultivator, you must be self-disciplined enough and have qualified cognitive and learning abilities, otherwise the introduction to cultivation is nonsense, which also ensures the basic quality of a public servant.

The original medical and health situation in the country was very poor, and the infection rate of various viruses was very high, and if a person could not tell when he would hang up, he could not be entrusted with a heavy responsibility and cultivated for a long time.

Becoming a second-level nutrient can ensure that the body is healthy and energetic.

If you become a third-level cultivator and reach the realm of Yuan Shen Qingming, not to mention what magical magic techniques you cultivate, the most important thing is to ensure that such a person has strong learning potential and comprehension ability, and can continue to grow.

As for breaking through the Four Realms to become an intermediate Yuan Cultivation Technique Mentor, it is a talent of another level, and there are only about 100 people in the current Jili Country for the time being. Those first- to third-level cultivators with a larger base played a backbone role in this special historical period.

Hua Zhenxing's achievements are not only here, he is also the most important founder of this new country, so that when he makes a speech of this nature on this occasion, no one can openly question his qualifications, whether he fully agrees with him or not.

It was a private internal meeting, and there were some things he might say that might be the most appropriate. For example, in his speech just now, he used Charles as an example many times, and he did not shy away from it.

It was the kind of thing that only he could say, and it was so natural that none of the listeners, including Charles himself, felt anything wrong.

The agenda of this meeting is a week, interspersed with group discussions and topic discussions, and it has only been carried out until the afternoon of the second day, but the content of Hua Zhenxing's speech has already taken on a comprehensive guiding nature.

A lot of things should have been told by Charles. Hua Zhenxing decided to do this on an ad hoc basis for two reasons.

One is that after two days of discussions, he found that the core purpose of each policy must be clarified, and if the direction is deviated, no matter how good the details are, it is useless.

The second is precisely that he does not want to steal Charles' position, and he wants to leave the final conclusion of the meeting to Charles. After clarifying many topics first, the follow-up discussion can proceed according to the correct ideas, and Charles can better summarize in the end.

Some people in the venue frowned and pondered, some people nodded again and again, some people took out pens and books to record quickly, and Hua Zhenxing's speech continued-

"The primary issue in decision-making in the economic field is people's livelihood, which is what Dongguo often said in the past few years. For the country of several miles, it is a matter of survival. I will only mention a few points that need special attention in agricultural development planning.

First of all, with the current natural resources of the country, can it feed the existing citizens? The answer is yes, no matter how poor the country is, more than 10 million people can maintain a low level of self-sufficiency in a normal year, that's true!

Therefore, everyone must pay attention to this fact, the country of several miles is different from some countries, for so many years has not relied on grain imports, nor is it in the conditions to import grain on a large scale, but it has the conditions to feed its people, which is different from many people's understanding.

In the past, the country also exported agricultural and animal husbandry products overseas, mainly goats and dromedary camels, every year, and although the scale was small, the small amount of foreign exchange in exchange was used to import high-end consumer goods.

The problem in agriculture is not only the extremely low level of production, but more importantly, the extremely low ability to resist risks.

In the past, when there was a climate anomaly or a large-scale natural disaster, it would lead to the spread of famine in local areas, which in turn would lead to social unrest, which was the first thing we had to deal with.

Therefore, the specific goal of the first five-year plan for agriculture is to ensure the domestic food supply and prevent famine in the event of abnormal weather conditions or large-scale natural disasters.

Don't aim too high, even if we can exceed it in practice, don't be too ambitious. We must not only solve the problem of total output, but also solve the problem of unified transportation and distribution structure of materials.

In the past, agriculture and animal husbandry in the country depended on the weather for food, which was very fragile. In the event of a famine, it is difficult to move food from one place to another, and instead there will be people hoarding and taking advantage of the opportunity to extort money.

After the establishment of the new alliance, it followed the model of the non-Sogang agricultural reclamation area, focusing on building a grain and oil base in Banda City, reclaiming large tracts of farmland, and in the process of liberating the whole country, suppressing a large number of criminal and evil elements, nationalizing many plantations and connecting them into patches.

This is the completion of an agrarian reform, and the state has mastered more than 90 percent of the farmland and plantations that can be cultivated intensively on a large scale.

Some people have proposed to refer to the Dongguo model to carry out a household contract responsibility system, but many members present here do not approve of it, and I also resolutely oppose this proposal.

Inserting a few digressions here, I have found that many comrades have two tendencies. The first is to copy the model of the East Country in everything, because many senior leaders have East Country backgrounds. This kind of borrowing and learning is necessary, but it should not be rigid.

The development of Dongguo is very successful now, and some people think that we can do it too, which is not only an illusion, but also an illusion.

Is there any other country in the world that can have the size of the Eastern Kingdom, such a profound cultural accumulation, and such a high quality of labor?

Moreover, some people have only seen the rapid development of the eastern country in the decades after the reform, but have you noticed the accumulation and preparation in the decades before the reform?

Such large-scale farmland and water conservancy construction and social transformation not only plowed all the land of the whole country, but also completely plowed the old strata of the whole country after being smashed up, and the price was quite heavy. How many miles of country has this process, have we made up for this lesson?

The second tendency is that there are also some comrades who have overseas education backgrounds and advocate learning from developed countries in everything.

This line of thinking cannot be wrong, but if we say what model some developed countries use, we will use what model, and then we can be equally developed. This is no longer a fantasy, a delusion that ignores the facts.

Because for so many years, the country of several miles has done this, and I will not expand it for the time being.

Getting back to business, let's talk about agriculture. Unlike the eastern country, Jili Country does not have a history of thousands of years of agricultural civilization, and there are few people who have mastered traditional agricultural techniques.

We also don't have too much historical baggage, and there is no need to stabilize the rural society in the form of family-based land redistribution management, because we don't even have a rural society in the traditional sense!

Historically, the colonizers wanted to directly carry out the urbanization of modern industrial civilization on the basis of the tribal society, and plundered the land of various tribes to develop the plantation economy in the suburbs, which was a legacy problem of the country itself.

If we come back to complain about history today, it will no help.

If it is forcibly implemented, do we want to create a matrilineal clan society in the vast new villages? Moreover, this kind of fragmented and fragmented agriculture comes at the expense of efficiency.

According to the actual conditions, it is more reasonable and feasible to concentrate on the reclamation and operation of large-scale farms and plantations. The specific issue we want to discuss is how to formulate the goals of the first five-year plan under this premise.

A committee member from Huanxiang Industry also mentioned during the lunch chat that now that the technology of directly synthesizing starch with carbon dioxide has appeared in Dongguo, which is far more efficient than traditional agriculture, should our research department also follow up?

I don't think it's a joke, it's impossible for our agricultural research department to follow up on too many projects, but this direction can be focused, even if it is only as a future technology prospect, but it can't be expected to produce results now.

This should be a scientific topic, I said a little bit in advance. The reason for this is that the most reliable and efficient starch production crop to date is cassava, which is also the most suitable for the climatic conditions of several miles of the country.

We have a great advantage in the production and processing of cassava, and have even reached the world's leading level. All of you here should not be presumptuous, thinking that everything in the country is backward, in fact, we also have leading fields.

Although cassava yields are much higher than the various staple foods available in the world, there have always been two limitations to its use as a staple food.

One is that it is poisonous and not resistant to preservation, and it must be ground and soaked in a short period of time, and this process is extremely labor-intensive, so people in the past can only dig, cook, and eat, and it is difficult to do anything else if they barely fill their stomachs.

The second limitation is that the taste is not good, in the past, it was simply cooked into a paste, and the nutrition was not comprehensive.

Now we can not only solve both of these problems, but we can solve them very well. In terms of large-scale concentrated cassava cultivation, appropriate crop rotation and whole-plant utilization, the non-Sogang agricultural reclamation area has accumulated sufficient experience, and the more important results are in the field of processing.

Huanxiang Industry has developed special equipment to harvest and process it on a large scale, and after detoxification in an industrial way, it produces cassava raw flour that can be preserved for a long time.

More importantly, we have also developed a variety of food processing methods, appropriately adding a small amount of other ingredients to improve taste and nutrition, and launched a variety of end products such as noodles, steamed buns, flower rolls, and bread.

We have made more than a dozen kinds of noodles alone, and we have promoted more cooking and processing methods to make the taste better, richer and more able to improve the quality of life.

This agricultural technological achievement, including the supporting cooking and processing methods, should be vigorously promoted throughout the country. It guarantees our food security, and various products can be used as raw materials for light industry in addition to being used as rations.

The high yield and spread of cassava have given us enough confidence to save more land in agriculture for the cultivation of various other crops and to develop animal husbandry and animal husbandry.

Therefore, the first agricultural project to be clearly implemented is to determine the planting scope and area of cassava, vigorously promote technology, and the processing plant and food publicity should be synchronized, which is not clear in the current outline.

Some comrades have also realized the importance of agriculture and put forward very radical ideas for development.

The draft law mentions that we should take advantage of the favorable conditions that are rare at present, and more specifically, we can win assistance from the eastern side, including technical guidance, special loans, and material assistance, and strive to achieve the great development of intensive, mechanized, and industrialized agriculture in an all-round way within five years.

We want to engage in concentrated large-scale agriculture, large-scale mechanized operations and industrial production are indeed the most suitable path, and we must leave enough space for this path in terms of planning, but it cannot be this way!

In this outline, the plan is drawn up in detail, counting the existing land area in the country that can be developed and planted on a large scale, and how many tractors, harvesters, pumps, fertilizers, pesticides, and seeds are needed...... are all listed.

However, I would like to ask, is this plan serving the people of several countries, or is it serving the international surplus capital and excess capacity?

The vast majority of what is on this list is something that we do not have ourselves, and we either rely on direct assistance or loans for imports. I won't talk about smashing the credit resources of the whole country on this, can I get all these things, and even if I do, what will be the consequences?

Do we have so many operators of large farm machinery? Some people say that they can train while doing is probably too optimistic. Even if the operators can be trained, what about the maintenance personnel? And we don't even have the maintenance technology and the ability to supply spare parts.

Others say that aid workers can be brought in, as in the case of the Nord Luo River Bridge and the Lofogen Hydropower Station, as well as agricultural aid projects. But can we do so many projects, and can the country's major agricultural production do the same?

The money is borrowed, the operator is sent, the equipment and materials are sold to you, and the production and maintenance services are also provided...... What have we done, is it just to carve out a cultivable wasteland in the country?

With this kind of unearned plan, can we solve the problems of people's livelihood security and agricultural development in several mile countries? Think about it for yourselves, is this realistic?

Many people may not understand that if we can get this aid, no matter how small, we can take advantage of it, why don't we want and can't take advantage of it?

In fact, this is the food program aid program that many international aid organizations have given to poor and backward countries, and has also given it to several miles of countries. Member Liang Ziming has also participated in such projects, what are the results we have seen?

The view was expressed that such programmes were not successful enough because aid was not sufficient, or that aid was conditionally too onerous. There are reasons for this, but not only for this reason.

If there is any difference now, it is that we have changed the object of our appeal to Dongguo and want to cooperate at the national level.

I have here a set of data, which is the total production of staple foods in the world and the total population of the world...... Obviously, the world's food production is fully sufficient to meet the needs of the global population, so food is only a local problem, our own problem.

No matter how much the world produces food, there are many countries that suffer from frequent famines. Therefore, our agricultural development goals are first and foremost based on ensuring our own security, rather than participating in international production competition.

Even if all goes well, we can do the math, what will we get in the end? Demarcated farmland was reclaimed, equipment and materials were imported, and enough food was produced, but heavy debts were left behind.

That's a debt that we can't afford to pay, even if it's an interest-free aid loan.

Can we pay off our debts with grain exports? Is the food we produce in this situation competitive in the international market? After deducting the interest on the debt, the purchase and maintenance of materials and equipment, the employment of personnel and other production costs, the economy is completely loss-making.

Exporting grain to repay debts, do we need to protect our own people's livelihood? But without exporting grain at a loss, can we afford such large-scale agricultural subsidies from other sources? A debt crisis is inevitable.

Some people realized the loopholes in the plan and wanted to fill them as much as possible, saying that they would seek free unconditional assistance. Do you want to be shameless? Even if this kind of daydream is done temporarily, what will the aid partners think of an insatiable country like ours?

Once we enter this mode, we will continue to rely on this model, the equipment will always be broken, fertilizers and pesticides will have to be purchased new every year, and we will never be able to afford the production cost and will never be able to develop.

If you are a good partner, will you feel that there is hope for our investment in aid? We just feel like we're mud and can't hold up the wall!

If it is replaced by a malicious partner, it will not be said that anything that can be paid off will be left to us, and it will only repeat the collapse of the country for a few miles.

What are the solutions to the debt problem in the future? If we break the contract and repay the debt, the little national credit we have just restored will also be exhausted, and we will cut off the road of cooperation and development.

'Why should you pay back the money you borrowed by your ability?' A lot of people here have this sick thought, and it may remain in the subconscious. But it's really not your ability, it's the kindness, trust, or other intentions of others.

We must cure this pathology, otherwise we will not build a new country, and we must not carry this kind of subconscious when making decisions, otherwise it will never benefit this country and its people, and we will be unjustly helpless.

If we want to repay, we can only sell our assets, and we only have those farms and plantations, and some of the state-owned assets that we have managed to save will also be controlled by international excess capital.

At that point, let alone food security, even food production itself will get out of control, and people can produce whatever they want and sell it to whomever they want.

At that time, I am afraid that no one will think about growing cassava, and will only consume all the irrigation resources to grow cash crops such as palms, and the profits will not be left for us to import enough food.

Many countries in Latin Rice, especially South Rice, have some of the best agricultural production conditions in the world, but they are all mired in debt crises, and with ongoing social unrest, the government has changed one after another.

What causes this? Some people have also come up with a special term called the "Rummy trap", and our level of development is far less than that of those countries, so we should not jump into this trap, especially not to dig a trap for ourselves at the beginning of planning.

If it were another industry, it might have collapsed, but if agriculture collapsed, it would really starve people to death!

If all of us here turn a blind eye to the hidden dangers, when this happens in the future, we will all be the murderers, intentional or not.

Some people may also ask, will it really collapse?

Without mentioning the above, I'll just give you one example, what happens if the international situation changes, for example, if there is no access to aid, or if there is a local conflict, or if we are subject to blockade sanctions for some reason?

In that case, the fertilizers and pesticides needed for agricultural production cannot be transported, and the supply of oil to start the machinery is also lost, and there will be a large-scale desertion of land.

These questions are not complicated, and even elementary school students can figure out the answers, don't you all here understand? It's not that I don't understand, but the main reason is short-sightedness, because the problems are all in the future, and the benefits are all now!

Some people are lucky, thinking that they will do it first and then talk about it, maybe there will be a turnaround in the future? This is the gambler's speculative psychology, first bet the chips down, maybe open the cards and win?

There are still people who still want to use the simplest and easiest way to solve those problems that really require hard work, and in essence, they still want to take shortcuts, fantasizing that they can get something for nothing, but there are no such shortcuts in the world.

It is not excluded that a few people see the benefits in it, and if such a plan is implemented, the handler can take the opportunity to make a lot of oil and water, and when the time comes, he can pat his ass and get rich and leave, as for the famine, what is his business?

Sorry, I'm talking hard to hear, I should keep my emotions in check. I believe that most people's starting point is still good, what they want is to work hard, save as quickly as possible, and try to achieve the most ideal results in the shortest time.

I suggest that we give up this delusion of ascending to the sky in one step, and there is a speech "Labor Creates the World" at the general seat of Shire, which everyone here should be familiar with, and we need to complete the primitive accumulation in a down-to-earth manner.

What I just said is tantamount to rejecting the agricultural plan. This is not to negate everyone's efforts to make plans, so we must make the reason clear, and I deny that it is the kind of consumerist industrial development ideas.

Here is just one conclusion: the result of overdrawing the future can only be the loss of the future.

The less we have of ourselves and the more overdrawn the future, the bleaker the future will be. So what's a more reasonable plan? The most important groundwork, of course, is the organization of labor for production under the existing conditions.

Self-reliance, hard work!

We do need assistance from the outside world, such as the eastern side, for example, agricultural technical guidance is necessary, and production personnel training is also necessary, as the new alliance has been doing since the previous year in the city of Banda.

Start from low-level construction to accumulate, leave room for continuous progress, so that the accumulation of each step is effective and independent and controllable.

When it comes to specific projects, such as cassava planting and processing technology, we are already very mature, and relevant equipment can also be developed.

But what are we missing? Without the industrial base for further promotion, this is not something that can be built in a day, but can only be developed gradually. Moreover, with the size of a few miles of country, it is not possible to develop all industrial categories and the whole industrial chain, so we can only make key choices.

If there is a cooperation project, even if we invest limited funds ourselves, we can first introduce production lines that can produce simple agricultural equipment, such as tractors, and our own cassava harvesting and processing machinery.

Going up from this chain, for example, a lot of steel and parts will be used, and we still need to import them in the short term, but our related products can also be exported to other countries in the Black Wilderness Continent, and strive to reach the advanced level of the Black Wilderness Continent.

Commissioner Tang Senzhi nodded there...... You're right, we just have to selectively accept some excess capacity transfers, and try to improve these industrial chains in the First Five-Year Plan, including the subsequent Second Five-Year Plan.

The most important area of agricultural production is water conservancy, which is related to the issue of industrial development, so I would like to say a few more points on industrial issues, as well as diplomatic and financial market issues......"
