"Everyone knows this chapter, don't discuss it in the comment area!"

Even though he had been mentally prepared, Brigade Commander Wang was still taken aback by the Yellow River. He never expected this person to make it so big as soon as he came up, and he was about to take off directly.

However, as the person who knows agriculture best in the border area, he naturally raises his hands in favor of such a good thing.

"Okay, this matter is up to our 359th Brigade. As long as there are enough seeds and boys, I will return you to Jiangnan in a year. ”

"One more thing, we're about the same age, don't always call the brigade commander and brigade commander, it's too unusual. Either you can call me Wang Hu like everyone else, or you can just call Lao Wang. ”

"Lao Wang!"

"Hahaha! Good! Readily! ”

Everyone talked happily, and the work of a meal became familiar.

After the meal, Brigade Commander Wang took Wang and Huang to visit the land reclaimed by their brigade. As if thinking of something, Huang He's expression became very serious, and he asked tentatively:

"Lao Wang, how is the situation of the ban on lollipops in our border area?"

This sudden question puzzled the rest of the people present, and no one answered it out loud for a while.

The reason why Huang He asked this question is very simple, simply because he cares about the people's livelihood.

The war caused by the lollipop was the starting point of China's modern history. It has harmed hundreds of millions of people, and it is a scar that cannot be bypassed no matter what.

According to the statistics of preserved fruits, the total population of the Republic of China in 1932 was 474 million. There are 80 million people in the country, or 16.8 per cent of the total population.

Considering the weak grassroots control and statistical capabilities of the preserved fruit at that time, the real number will only be larger.

Before October 1936, Shaanxi was one of the most severely damaged areas by that thing, and it had a history of growing and selling for nearly 100 years.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Brigade Commander Wang showed a reassuring smile, he patted Huang He's shoulder and said:

"Don't worry, our experience in this area is definitely the first in the country. When they first arrived in Shaanxi four years ago, the troops launched a vigorous campaign to ban lollipops, and the situation was brought under control within a few months. ”

"Don't forget one thing, boy, our border area has been blocked by my nephew. It's a valuable thing, but it can't be sold, and no one grows it. ”

"Besides, the common people are not stupid, who doesn't know that life is the most important. At the beginning of this year, there were harbingers of famine in the province. The villagers are all taking advantage of the current reclamation to grow grain, and no one has touched that broken thing anymore. ”

After receiving an affirmative reply, Huang He showed a relieved expression.

Lollipops are small in size and light in weight, and the terminal price is quite high.

In the Republic of China, where the financial system is chaotic, that thing can be ranked with gold, silver, and pounds and dollars as the main circulating hard currency, and is called "yellow, white, black, and green".

Taking into account the size of the quantity and the difficulty of testing, lollipops can even surpass the most valuable gold, silver and foreign currencies, and become the most cost-effective and liquid currency before the Anti-Japanese War.

As a person who has traveled back in later generations, he knows how messy it is over there in the Ugly Country because of this thing.

Just ban it, that's a good thing! It is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people! Gotta give a thumbs up to the higher-ups! That's fast!

Brigade Commander Wang obviously saw that Huang He's heart was palpitating, and in order to reassure the new comrade, he continued to add:

"When we first arrived, we forcibly destroyed a batch of lollipops from the production area. As compensation, we left food rations and seeds for the people to help them grow food instead."

"The army will register all those who have a criminal record, and they will be banned for a limited period of time."

"Comrades will also organize production education to involve those ordinary people who are not engaged in production and whose behavior is degenerate into the tide of industry and agricultural production, so that they will know that they are part of society, so as to arouse their determination."

"Although some people did not survive, the vast majority of them were reborn in production and labor and became positive people."

At the moment when Brigade Commander Wang finished explaining, the system in Huang He's mind began to shake violently. This degree is unprecedented, and I was a little dizzy for a while.

"Lao Wang! I'm going to go to the toilet! This Hunan cuisine is delicious, but it is so spicy that my northern stomach will be a little unbearable for a while. ”

"Okay, let's go back and get down to business."

"Who isn't the owner of the lavatory, but the conditions are a little rudimentary."

After trotting all the way to the toilet, Huang He immediately turned on his system.

"Ding, ding, ding! There are new developments in the system, please check in time! ”

Ignoring the urging voice, he quickly focused. At this time, four new bonuses appeared in the interface at the same time, and this spectacular picture made him look confused for a while.

"Our land: For centuries, tenant farmers who cultivated their land had to pay taxes to landlords. And from now on, we will change that.

A grain of grain can save a country, or it can trip a country. You may not know that a famine for a certain period of time can really starve people to death.

Everyone can't get enough to eat, and I've seen it all.

But from now on! Such a scene is unlikely to happen again!

Effect: Civilian factories in the system can be exchanged for agricultural items that were ahead of their time!"

"Implement the three major ones: obey the command of all actions, do not take a stitch from the masses, and return all seizures to the public. As long as our comrades carry out this simple and understandable discipline, the masses of the people will naturally understand that we are on their side.

Effect: Civilian Factory Production Rate in the system: +4%"

"Ban the lollipop trade: Lollipops have always been a tool to poison people, and we must not allow them to continue to harm the masses.

Effect: Production efficiency of agricultural items in the civilian factory in the system: +5%"

"Abolition of rents: The hard-working peasant masses are the real owners of the land, and by mobilizing the peasant masses to get their land, we will be able to ensure their support.

Effect: Civilian Factory Trade Value: +36%"

After seeing the new bonus, Huang He was a little skeptical about life, and he even felt that he should go straight to the border area back then. This unlocks four passive decisions in a row, which is too fierce!

However, this is an afterthought, if you don't go to the southeast base area of Jindong, the production line and weapons that you decided to give will not be able to send over. After all, the traffic is not developed now, and there are still roadblocks in the middle.

Coming out of the bathroom, we Huang are more confident in the matter of mass production. After washing his hands, he immediately returned to the conference room of the 359th Brigade.

"Lao Wang, how many people in your brigade can participate in the construction work now?"

Although he couldn't keep up with the Yellow River's out-of-the-box thinking, after hearing the question, Brigade Commander Wang still subconsciously replied:

"Seven thousand, fast eight thousand, if you count the common people, this number can almost double. You know, the mass base in our border area is very good, and everyone will not refuse to work together to reclaim the wasteland. ”

"Good! If I tell you, you can give the 359 brigade 2,600 catties of rice seeds, 5,000 catties of carrot seeds per mu, and 6,000 catties of Chinese cabbage seeds per mu. ”

"And you can also provide enough fertilizer, how much food can you grow!"

As soon as the words fell, the entire conference room suddenly became silent.

After a few moments, everyone was panting with red eyes. Brigade Commander Wang's eyes widened even more, his beard was windless, and his gaze towards the Yellow River was full of incredulity and disbelief.

"The yield per mu is 2,600 catties, Lao Huang, you're not kidding!"

Most of you here are from poor backgrounds, and before joining the army, they worked with their families in agriculture. After coming to the border area, he cultivated many fields intensively.

They have a clear idea of the yield of their crops, taking SD Province as an example. Even if an experienced farmer takes care of the field and actively fertilizes it, the yield of wheat and barley per mu is about 150 catties.

Even the most fierce pumpkin only has a yield of 1,400 catties per mu.

This figure is still the history before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. The areas occupied by the devils are often barren land and production declines, and the above data must at least be discounted.

Now it's good, this production capacity has directly increased dozens of times. There are not only staple foods but also vegetables, how can this not make everyone in the conference room suspicious.

Everyone is accustomed to eating rice, and it can also be made into rice noodles, rice noodles, rice cakes, and sake brewing, which perfectly takes care of the comrades in the south and the north of the army.

This thing can also be stored in a combat storage warehouse in case it is needed.

Winters in the border areas are affected by dry and cold air, and precipitation is scarce and very cold, which is very suitable for growing hardy and high-yield cabbage.

Before the return of the Yellow River, the life of the troops was somewhat tight.

Many times the fighters could only eat boiled cabbage, and not even salt was necessarily available. If there were a few canned meat seized from the devils, it would be everyone's most desirable meal.

Before the main owner could answer, Brigade Commander Wang asked again: "You won't add an extra zero, even if the yield per mu is 260 catties, it is also very high!" ”

Being asked like this, Huang He's heart was also a little empty.

In later life, he was a serious scholar and had never planted at all. It can even be said that there is a lack of common sense in this regard, and at most you know how much a bag of rice costs.

However, he is sensitive to numbers, after all, one of his majors is applied mathematics.

In my memory, in 1940, there were only 2,450 acres of agricultural land in Muddy Bay. After the 359th Brigade cleared the land for a year, this area increased fivefold to 12,000 acres.

By 1944, that number had come to a staggering 26,000 acres.

The average yield per mu is 2,600 catties of rice, even if it is calculated based on 12,000 mu in 1941, there will be 31.2 million catties when it is harvested.

Huang He clearly remembered that a total of 15.60~18.2 million tons of grain were collected during the entire Anti-Japanese War, and we temporarily ignored the corruption link in the middle.

That means that if the Eighth Route Army has two provincial grain-producing areas, it can completely gather the military rations for the entire Anti-Japanese War period within a year.

After settling this account, Huang He himself was taken aback. After he silently recited a sentence in his heart, he explained to everyone in the conference room:

"You heard you right! This number is real! I dare to use my head as a guarantee, if the deviation is more than 10%, I will screw off the head and give it to you for the night pot! ”

"I talked to the bosses this morning, and the two decided to set up a production and construction corps based on the 359 Brigade. While guarding the border area, start the construction of the base area! ”

"The first target is Mud Bay! It will be our big granary! ”

Then it was time to discuss the specific arrangements, and Huang He began to tell everyone about the arrangements for the next year in the conference room.

When it comes to muddy bay, the first reaction of the vast majority of local residents is that the stinky water and black quagmire of Huangshan Mountain, with mountains and mountains within a radius of 100 miles, only the forest can not see the sky. Wolves, leopards, yellow sheep are running all over the mountains, and they are desolate and uninhabited.

However, a closer analysis shows that the terrain here is mainly hilly, and the terrain is relatively flat and suitable for farming. There are also many rivers running through it, and water resources are very abundant.

This seemingly overgrown weed, thorny, and sparsely populated land will become a fertile treasure land as long as it is properly cultivated.

During the period of Obiqing's control, several major battles took place near Mud Bay.

As long as the horse road for transporting grain at that time was expanded, the road to the border area from the north could be connected, and the problem of transportation would naturally be solved.

With such a large piece of land, only 8,000 people from the 359 Brigade are definitely not enough. After all, in addition to farming, they also have to raise pigs and chickens.

In order to have a sufficient number of people, it is necessary to expand the army. With new recruits, you have to take care of training, and the workload is doubled.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for ordinary generals to manage more than 10,000 people in an orderly manner.

However, Brigade Commander Wang had his own management skills, and in the early years, he led comrades in the south to participate in various sports, and by the way, he could also make a cameo appearance as a gold medal fighter.

He can summarize the appropriate management system according to the existing situation of the troops.

Speaking of this, Huang He expressed his heartfelt emotion. It's good to have a big organization behind you, there are a lot of people here, and basically everything just needs to provide plans and materials.

When it comes to talents, we have to mention several low-key gods in the border area.

Originally, he was going to make a decision to "form an academy of sciences" and allocate the fellowship quota provided in November to agronomy. But when the director learned about the Yellow River's arrangement, he immediately told him some secrets.

In February this year, Guanghua Farm was established in the border area.

There are many scientific research talents in agronomy in this farm, who have made remarkable achievements in crop cultivation, cultivation and promotion of excellent varieties, and pest and disease control.

According to the local climate and soil, the comrades developed new varieties of potatoes and silage corn, which are treasures that can be harvested twice a year in rotation and replanting.

Before the Yellow River came to the border area, he always thought that the plan to reclaim the mud bay to increase grain production was put forward by the commander-in-chief in 1941.

But he never expected that there would be a forest investigation group in the border area.

They spent half a year personally inspecting the situation, and in the middle of this year, they provided the CEOs with a "Report on the Investigation of the Border Forests", which clearly explained the many reasons for reclaiming the muddy bay.

After the director mentioned this, Huang He immediately remembered some important things.

A year later, in 1941, the Faculty of Natural Sciences was established in the border region to establish the Department of Biology, which was later reorganized into the Department of Agriculture.

They cooperated with Guanghua Farm to conduct research on the important local pest, the millet ash borer, and bred a borer-resistant variety "Wolf Tail Valley" for promotion, and also worked hard to promote the cultivation of cotton and mulberry and silkworm breeding.

The most powerful one came, and in 1943, the four gods of Le, Li, Chen, and Fang initiated the establishment of the Chinese Agricultural Society.

With these agronomists and animal husbandry and veterinary experts, why do you need to use the system to convene researchers?

The best warriors are paired with the best experts, and I have planted the land, and no one can stop it.

First send and then change!
