In Russia, the torrential autumn rain gradually stopped, swept across Belarus, and the Northwest National Defense Forces of China, which broke into Ukraine, accelerated the speed of plundering the Russian population.

In China, it is also the autumn harvest season.

In the autumn harvest of this year, a large amount of corn was planted in the north, and the planting area of ​​corn for feed reached the highest level in history, and the stock of livestock also increased to the highest level since the founding of the Republic of China. Among them, the stock of beef cattle and dairy cattle grew relatively fast, but the reproduction speed of cattle was relatively fast. Slow, so the beef of the Republic of China has not replaced other meats to become the mainstream. [

At the same time, the cotton acreage in North China has also increased.

The cotton planting industry in the western region has not yet formed, so cotton planting is still dominated by North China.

The soybean planting area in the Northeast has increased significantly. Nearly 60% of the arable land in the Northeast is used for soybean planting. At this time, the Republic of China is full of confidence, and there is no shortage of agricultural land.

The scale of the breeding industry in the southern region has also increased significantly, and the planting area of ​​economic crops has also increased rapidly.

The area for rice cultivation has decreased, but due to the widespread use of hybrid rice and the use of chemical fertilizers, the rice yield is still very high.

The only thing that has changed is the use of cultivators, rice transplanters, and rice combine harvesters in the south.A large number of paddy fields have been rectified into flat terrain, large-scale agriculture continues to enter the broad stage in the south, and small-scale agricultural machinery has become more comprehensive.

The granary of the Republic of China moved south and became the Mekong Delta, which became the area with the highest rice production in the Republic of China at this time.

In the Mekong Delta, the consortium of warlords and oligarchs in Jiangyu and Chongqing is building this large-scale commodity grain base in an all-round way, and that is the area where the real large-scale rice production and agricultural machinery spread the fastest.

The Mekong Delta is a very fertile area, suddenly fertile.The flat alluvial plain has a suitable environment for rice growth.

There is no need for too much agricultural reform at all, the amount of agricultural reform is very small, and large rice farm machinery can be a hero's fate if it is casually engaged in agricultural reform here.

At this time, Cambodia and southern Vietnam, the Mekong Delta, have been directly incorporated into the territory of the Republic of China and become the province with the highest grain production in the Republic of China.

The rice here can be planted for three seasons, but the consortium will plant most of the paddy fields with three seasons of rice, and a small part of it will plant two seasons of rice, which guarantees the quality of rice.The consortium is building a highly automated irrigation system across the board, and there are also many aircraft here for fertilization.

At this time, a good harvest was also ushered in here.Huge rice combine harvesters rolled across the paddy fields, spewing out a stream of millet like a golden stream.

After the container truck was filled with the last container, it drove to the railway station immediately.Cranes at the railway station lifted the container aside and stacked it with other containers.

Then the car drove aside, hoisted an empty box, and immediately drove to the busy field again.

Uh...

A whistle sounded, and the train arrived.

The container is quickly hoisted onto the truck.After the train was loaded with containers, the truck drove to Saigon with the sound of roaring machinery.

There is also the largest city in Vietnam in later generations - Ho Chi Minh City. [

Saigon is the estuary of the Mekong River, and it is called "Paris of the Orient". Of course, this is the French habit of calling it. China does not call it "Paris of the East".

After the truck arrived in Saigon, the containers were hoisted down one by one.Put it directly behind the container truck, and then the container truck drove to the rice mill in Sai Kung.

The Saigon Rice Mill is very large in scale and has very advanced equipment.

from cleaning up.From rice milling, all are large-scale facilities, and the production cost has been diluted due to large-scale.The workers of the rice mill are busy lifting the container and sending it into the rice mill.

After cleaning and husking, the rice is milled in a rice milling machine.

The rice milling method in the rice mill is different from the more violent rice milling method in later generations of China.The rice milling equipment here adopts the same rice milling method as the water wheel husking, but the power is changed from hydraulic power to electric power.

Although this rice milling method is not fast enough.But the taste of the processed rice is very good. The most nutritious part of the rice is the thin layer of endosperm. endosperm, while the seed coat is stripped.

These finely processed rice are supplied to the domestic market. After processing, after drying and other follow-up treatments, they are immediately loaded and transported to the port. Part of the rice bran is sent to the oil pressing plant next to the rice mill, and the rice oil inside is After being squeezed out, some of them are directly shipped to the port for loading, and then shipped to farms all over the country as feed.

The chaff was sent to the boiler room of the factory building to be burned in the boiler. In later generations, many rice processing factories did not want these chaff, and they were all dragged and lost.

It turned out that someone made millions by selling chaff to burn boilers.

After the three-season rice was transported to the Saigon rice mill, it was directly processed by violence. The processing speed of the machine was so fast that the rice was processed like rain after crackling.

Then, the endosperm and seed coat in the rice bran are sieved out, and directly bagged and processed into concentrated feed.

Some of the rice bran is sent for oil extraction, and some is sent as pig feed.The fat of rice is mainly concentrated in the rice bran, so this thing can raise pigs.

The pigs fed with rice bran are definitely the most authentic pork, the kind of pork that can smell the aroma of meat.

As for the three-season rice, part of it is used for export, and if it cannot be exported, it is shipped back to China, and it is also treated as pig feed.

That's right, pig feed.

At this time, the Republic of China developed hybrid rice, with a population of less than [-] million, and a huge rice production base. People cannot eat so much rice. In addition, the production cost of mechanized rice is very low, so it can be regarded as Read the full text of Pig Feed Rebirth Only Pet II.

Pigs that grow up on rice have very high nutritional value.

The nutritional value does not depend on the protein on the surface, but also on the content of 'qi'. Westerners explain why chickens are so nourishing, due to certain trace elements, and there is no difference in terms of protein and feed machines. Therefore, the conclusion that the nutritional value of the two is not much different is actually a fallacy.

Anyone who has eaten native chicken knows that it is really nourishing.Eating fodder chickens feels nothing at all.That's the huge gap.

In the eyes of the Chinese, the nutritional value does not depend on the level of protein, but on whether it can replenish qi or not. This kind of thing cannot be measured by equipment, and can only be felt in the stomach.

The livestock on the farm keep giving birth. It seems that the nutritional value is similar, but in fact it is far worse. [

The consortium has farms that specialize in feeding pigs rice and rice bran, and they don't use any breeding methods at all, and they rarely feed protein powder.

At the same time, these pigs are not hiding in the pigsty, but they are also raised on the mountain.Let the pigs exercise and eat fresh omnivores. Although the pigs grow not so fast, the meat quality is excellent.And the parts such as pig bones are also very filling.

The consortium launched the brand of "Original Pork" and engaged in monopoly, taking the route of mid-range pork. If low-income groups are willing to spend money, they can also have a meal from time to time.The price is not high enough for low-income groups to accept.

At the same time, the consortium also produces high-end pork. The high-end pork is different. It not only eats rice, but also eats herbs, just like people eat supplements. This is already in the ranks of medicinal diet.Pork can greatly replenish vitality. This kind of pork is relatively expensive, and middle-income groups can eat it if they are willing to spend money.certainly.That is pork fed with herbs that are less expensive.

The highest price is the kind of pork that is fed with precious herbs. The water they drink is milk, mountain spring water, etc. The pigsty is cleaned spotlessly, and music is played for these pigs.The price of this kind of pork is very expensive, but in fact this kind of pork is just a gimmick.The nutrition is not much higher than that of pork grown on common herbs, but some pig breeds with better meat quality will be selected for meat quality.

This is how the consortium takes money from the pockets of those high-income groups. The things are indeed high-end, but there are more gimmicks.

But what the rich like is gimmicks. In many cases, what they eat is not just nutrition, but quality.

Haven't you heard a word?

Not the best, just the most expensive!

These pigs are mainly sold in specialty stores, and they are very popular. Those rich people who eat meat look for these 'noble pigs'. The growth of those pigs is indeed like nobility compared to other pigs of the same kind.

This luxury is a consumable and is actually the best money to make.Because these things are constantly consumed, they are not durable goods like those expensive clothing, leather bags, and watches. If you buy one and go back for a few years, or even 20 years, you will not buy it again.

The rice production base of the Republic of China is not limited to Central South Province. Vietnam and Siam are also rice production bases of the Republic of China.

It's just not on the map.

But the rice yield in Siam is extremely scary, because the land in Siam is too suitable for mechanized rice planting. The whole of Siam is almost a plain area, and most of the cultivated land can be used for rice production.

After the enclosure of the Republic of China, 5000 million mu of mechanized rice production has been formed in Siam, and the area is still increasing.

The consortium merged land on a large scale in Siam, and the merger method was somewhat rough. With the cooperation of the Siamese government, a large number of Siamese farmers went bankrupt, and the landlords also sold their land at low prices.

Bankrupt farmers can become workers, and the investment of the Republic of China in Siam is still very large. After all, China has a large amount of surplus capital flowing into the domestic system at this time. Read the full text.

Railways, highways, mines, electricity, commercial housing, and agriculture are the investment objects of Chinese capital in Siam, but Siam has only 900 million people, which is not enough for the labor force needed for construction.

Therefore, the Republic of China immigrated to Siam in large numbers, and the Chinese people who immigrated to Siam were engaged in some high-productivity occupations.

For example, driving agricultural machinery, driving engineering vehicles, engaging in transportation, working as technicians, management, etc., and most Siamese can only go to construction sites to do manual labor.

Siam's national industry was completely encircled and suppressed by Chinese national capital.

The real estate prices in Siam are the same as those in China. As a result, Chinese immigrants have no pressure to buy these houses, but the wages of Siamese engaged in manual labor are much lower than those in the Republic of China, which makes them have to work hard To buy a house.

A large number of agricultural populations are bankrupt and unemployed, so they can only enter the cities.Coupled with the poor social security system, some slums have been formed for this reason.

The Siamese in these slums are all lazy types, or some needy groups. There is a social security system in the Republic of China. Naturally, there are no slums, and no one cares about them in Siam.

The consortium plans to form a rice production base of up to 2 million mu in Siam, whose area has already caught up with the rice planting area of ​​China's Central South Province.

If most of them are planted with three-season rice, the final annual rice output can be as high as 2 million tons.This is much higher than the 3000 million tons of Thailand in later generations.

The main reason for the low rice production in Thailand in later generations is that Thai farmers are living too well. Each household that produces rice owns an average of 75 acres of land.In addition, Thailand does not have hybrid rice, does not grow three-season rice very much, and does not have very advanced mechanized equipment, and rice production is not so intensive.

Although mechanized rice production in the Republic of China is not considered intensive farming, it is very easy to produce 400 kg per mu when using chemical fertilizers and hybrid rice. You must know that the highest yield of hybrid rice has reached 700 kg per mu.

Siam at this time was a puppet state.The Republic of China controls Siam's army, police, and politics. Therefore, the Republic of China's economic development in Siam is not the first consideration of how much gp Siam has.

Instead, first consider how the Siamese economy should serve the Republic of China.

What the Republic of China wants is food.It can be exported in large quantities, aided, and can be shipped back to China as pig feed. Although the feed conversion rate of pigs is higher than that of cattle, the nutrition of pork eaten with good feed is actually higher than that of beef.Because pigs are omnivores.Can eat anything.Cows are not omnivores, they only eat grass.

With these tropical grain producing areas, mechanized planting and high-yield hybrid rice, the Republic of China can wantonly impact the grain production of other countries.

It can also be very generous to provide food aid everywhere. The production cost of these three-crop rice is very low, and the aid does not cost much.

At the same time the consortium was in Siam.It will also invest in 3500 million mu of rubber plantations, which are mainly concentrated in the northern mountainous areas of Siam and the northeastern region.

The cost of natural rubber is still advantageous.Especially in a country with low labor costs like Siam, it is profitable to engage in rubber plantation.

It is naturally impossible for the people of the Republic of China to cut rubber, otherwise the cost of natural rubber is much higher than that of synthetic rubber.

There are also a lot of rubber in the Republic of South China and Luzon Province, and rubber in Vietnam, reaching about 7000 million mu.It has become the largest rubber producing area in the world in this era, accounting for more than 90% of the world's rubber area.

There is less rubber in Central South Province.In later generations, the Laos area was basically not developed, and there were indeed many forestry resources there, but the Republic of China basically did not develop it, but protected the forestry resources here.

This is the territory of the Republic of China itself, and the treatment of the aborigines is higher than that of the aborigines in the Nanyang region, so there is no money to grow rubber. The best male sex queen is too enchanting.In the Republic of South China and Luzon Province, there are a large number of natives available.

At the same time, Siam also grows many tropical fruits, the northern and northeastern regions are also developing cassava planting, and the Republic of South China is also developing cassava planting.

Cassava is used to produce starch and food, and it can also be used as feed. However, it is poisonous to eat and must be processed.

The most typical tropical fruits are pineapple, banana, mango, dragon fruit, longan, and lychee, which are also the most sold.

In addition, there are a whole bunch of tropical fruits.

It can provide China with a large amount of tropical fruits every year, and at the same time process a lot of canned tropical fruits, which are directly supplied to the army and schools, and are exported to the international market in large quantities.

China's seizure of the Nanyang region is definitely the most correct choice.In the past, the Chinese people had more land and less land, with 400 million people squeezed into an elite area of ​​less than [-] million square kilometers, and their resources were very limited.

After winning Nanyang, the whole country will no longer have to worry about food, and can even feed the pigs with a lot of food. for grazing.

In terms of agriculture, the export of agricultural products of the Republic of China is developing in a comprehensive direction. Grain, fiber (cotton, hemp, raw silk), oilseeds (peanut, rapeseed, sesame, soybean, sunflower, olive, oil palm), rubber, oil Tong, tea, sisal, fruit, meat products.

These are all developing in the direction of self-sufficiency and vigorous export. In terms of the export of each economic crop, the consortium first continuously researches more efficient production tools, technologies, and better varieties.At the same time, we are very careful in processing, packaging and price unification.

These cash crops are processed into a dizzying variety of products for sale on international markets.

This is the layout of Jiang Yu's competition for the pricing power of international agricultural products. In these competitions for the pricing power of agricultural products, it is not a big problem even if they lose a little money.

Because commodity pricing power is related to currency internationalization, currency internationalization must have commodity pricing power, because you want others to hold your currency and collect seigniorage from around the world.Then it is necessary to allow its currency to buy things.It's not enough for Guan to be able to buy things, he has to use Yanhuang coins to denominate the price.

If the commodity pricing power is in the hands of China, then these bulk commodities must be denominated in Yanhuang coins.

Of course, only doing these things will not have the ability to internationalize the currency. First of all, the Yanhuang currency must be stable. This is not a problem. China has a lot of gold and it is absolutely very stable.

At the same time, there must be overseas income to balance the balance of payments. This is not a problem. Chinese national capital is vigorously expanding overseas.Already have the ability to adjust income and expenditure.

For example, ocean-going merchant ships earn a lot of money every year just to earn freight.At the same time, there must be ethnic businessmen developing business abroad.Enough to balance the books.

The export of agricultural products in large quantities can also hit the agriculture of other countries and threaten the agricultural security of other countries.

These are all strategic goals, the so-called loss of money.In fact, in terms of agriculture, you can't lose much money.There are even many profits.

If labor costs continue to rise, profits will be damaged and reduced.

But even if it loses money, it will make a lot of money by collecting seigniorage and issuing Yanhuang currency bonds.

At least at this time, the Yanhuang coins of the Republic of China have already achieved a dominant position in the Asian region, and those affiliated countries directly use Yanhuang coins.Others bought Yanhuangcoin bonds.

What needs to be done now is to internationalize Yanhuangcoin.

Internationalization is something that should be done before sufficient conditions are met.That would be as tragic as the yen and euro in later generations.

China basically has most of the conditions at this time. As long as it develops for a few years, the internationalization of Yanhuang coins will not be a problem.

……

When the whole of China is busy with autumn harvest production, shipyards have also started large-scale warship manufacturing.

At this time, the manufacturing capacity of civilian ships in the Republic of China was 380 million tons, of which the manufacturing capacity of ocean-going merchant ships was about 300 million tons.The other 80 tons are mainly for the production of small boats, ocean-going fishing boats, and oil tankers.

The warship manufacturing capacity is still 10 tons, and the Chinese Navy's shipbuilding plan is to manufacture 70 tons of surface warships.It took seven years to complete.

The Navy's plan is to complete the construction and launch in 1923, giving the shipyard five years.

Therefore, the consortium began to expand its warship manufacturing capacity. All these warships will be built within five years. It is expected that the warship manufacturing capacity will be expanded to 5 tons in 1919.

The Navy began to expand its personnel. First, the Naval Academy was expanded, and secondly, the number of sailors was expanded. The naval strength plus logistics personnel will reach 30.

The Navy submitted an application for military expenditure to the central government, increasing the original annual military expenditure of 2 million yuan to 6 million yuan, which is directly increased by three times.

The original navy was not large, and the military expenditure of 2 million yuan was enough, and a lot of money could be left to invest in naval technology research and development.

It's different now. After the plan is formulated, once the navy equips these warships, the expenditures for military pay, maintenance, training, and logistics will all increase accordingly.

The national defense expenditure of the Republic of China is less than 20% of the current central government's tax revenue.

For such a large country, the navy is pitifully small, although it is the most powerful in Asia.

"As a territory already number one in the world, and the total economic output has also jumped, it is indeed necessary to build the world's most powerful navy." Song Jiaoren looked at the plan and said to Yuan Shikai.

"The size of the navy is too small." Yuan Shikai also felt the same way.

Looking back since the Opium War in 1840, China has been the world's largest economic aggregate for a long time in the [-]th century, but it has suffered repeated defeats.

The main reason is that there is no strong enough national defense, and the economic aggregate created by the agricultural economy cannot build a strong national defense.

The situation is different now. China has industry, and it is a large number of advanced industries.

There is industry, technology, and money, and the territory is unprecedentedly large.If China can't build a strong national defense, then everything it has now will be in vain and will be robbed by foreigners sooner or later.

Although there was money before, due to domestic development needs, resources needed to be tilted towards construction, so Jiang Yu did not ask for the expansion of the navy.

In terms of balancing development and military affairs, Jiang Yu's strong overall view also convinced Yuan Shikai and Song Jiaoren very much.

Since the military department now requires the construction of a large navy, it must be a decision after careful consideration, so they have no objection.

Yuan Shikai looked at the huge map hanging on the wall. It was the latest version of the map of the Republic of China. In less than four years, the map of the Republic of China had been updated more than a dozen times.

Now, this map does not know how long it can be used. If some land is occupied again, this map will have to be replaced again.

At this time, the territory of the Republic of China seems to be big at first glance. It is too big, and it has stretched its hand to the border of Europe.

After a while, Yuan Shikai came back to his senses, and complained: "Shouldn't the army be expanded? In such a big country, there are only 290 million troops. If you spread it casually to the frontier, it will be gone. If there is a big war , don’t be in a hurry.”
