On the north side of the central area of ​​Baotou City, in a huge building, Baotou has been completely different from before in just five years. It has changed from a dilapidated border village to a modern city, and its development speed is even faster than Shenzhen in later generations. The reason is that it is massive financial support and a large amount of manpower as a support.

Yang Yuanzhao's arrival, advanced vision and forward-looking nature, made him very clear that for China, what is the core place? Baotou, as the center of Baotou Special Zone, has temporarily de-industrialized and has become a commercial area and scientific research base. It has only maintained several small-scale experimental factories. Such a decisive decision is unlikely to have such courage even in later generations. However, Yang Yuanzhao did this without breaking or establishing it. Baotou's foundation is shallow. This is Baotou's weakness, but from another perspective, it is not that there is little inherent power and little resistance.

From the beginning, Yang Yuanzhao had a huge influence on many things in the northwest. After a strong push, the large-scale construction of Baotou began again. Unlike the previous large-scale construction factories, this is a massive number of buildings. The strong capital advantage and massive manpower have created everything in Baotou at present. The total construction area of ​​this administrative building exceeds 200,000 square meters, and is divided into eight parts in total. The core area and seven auxiliary areas correspond to the North Star and the North Dipper Star. It took only 11 months from the beginning of design to the final completion. Baotou speed has given Baotou the city of Baotou to rejuvenate new vitality.

This building, named Northwest Hall, is actually the core of the Northwest. It has received praise as soon as it was put into use. At present, the core area of ​​the government is located in the North Star. Where can it be used as a vote for the Northwest Joint Conference and some important topics? It is also called the Northwest Conference. Among the remaining seven, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Transport, the Bureau of Taxation, and the Military Commission are listed in it, mainly to realize the intelligence of the government in all aspects.

These government intelligence is not perfect, and Yang Yuanzhao also knows that this cannot solve all problems, and it is even bigger. Referring to the composition of some ministries and commissions in later generations and some practices of other powerful people in the world, more than 20 different ministries are also preparing and planning, but these are indeed the most important things in China at present.

Yang Yuanzhao attaches great importance to the arrival of the Chinese in the South China Sea. Not to mention the Indochina Peninsula, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Papua New Guinea, these are all components of Southeast Asia. They are rich in resources and vast in territory. The production of various tropical fruits and agricultural products is an important supplement to China in the future. In any era, whether it is a slave society, a feudal society, a capitalist society, or later New China, the food issue is a key. As much food as you have, you can feed as much population. This is almost fixed.

Compared with other great powers, Chinese civilization has a long history. As early as 5,000 years ago, it was thriving in the Yangtze River and Yellow River Basin of the Central Plains. China has become the only ancient country among the four ancient civilizations in the world that has not been broken. The light of civilization is the best in the world.

It is this world-class civilization that has lost a certain foundation in China. It has long used various metals to develop most of the steel, copper and other minerals, and the remaining are mostly poor mines. Long-term cultivation has made the land in the Central Plains relatively barren. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Guanzhong Plain was still a granary in the world. The Qin Dynasty unified the world's heritage, but by the Song Dynasty, Guanzhong became a barren border, and then to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, China's granaries gradually went south from Guanzhong and Henan in the Yellow River Basin, first in Anhui, Hunan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and even in the late Qing Dynasty, Guangdong and Guangxi became important granaries.

This trend of change is comparable to the Chinese nation's footsteps. Only these newly developed regions will have more fertile soil and can carry more and more China's population.

Yang Yuanzhao was a time traveler and knew very well that China's basic national policy at that time. Times had changed, and he didn't need to comment on the good or bad of that policy. However, one thing is certain that population is very important for a country. Looking at the changes of the times, especially among the powerful countries that have passed since the 20th century, the population is also an important factor in addition to its huge land area. Countries like Australia and Canada have large enough countries. Canada is even larger than China's territory and rich resources. Australia provides almost half of the world's various resources, but the fatal injury of population has made them never stand among the world's powerful countries.

Countless examples from later generations prove that relying solely on China's land cannot support so many people, even if Mongolia is added, the same is true. With 1.5 million square kilometers of land, most of it is barren. Even if China manages better than Mongolia in later generations, it does not earn much and cannot support a huge population. Then it is necessary to expand the land that can be cultivated.

In the middle, Southeast Asia, which is located near China and is a traditional tropical region, has become an inevitable choice. Just as America is the America of Americans, in this era of the strong prey on the weak and the law of forests, when China has enough ability, it can also shout the saying that Asia is China's Asia. Even the powerful national history and the influence circle of Chinese traditions will be included in itself.

From the beginning, Yang Yuanzhao attached great importance to this place. Whether it was immigration farms or supporting Chinese businessmen, he now saw the results of his first experience, and of course he fully supported it. Even the stockings and textile machine that had been secretly disclosed was taken out, in order to tie these Chinese people in Nanyang to their chariots.

Yang Yuanzhao sat in the office, the setting sun shining in the west, looking warm, light in the dark shadow, in the other direction, a short man sat respectfully, the room was quiet, and both of them said nothing.

Yang Yuanzhao looked at the short young man in front of him. It was Shi Lei of the Intelligence Bureau. To be honest, he has indeed made great contributions in recent years. The Northwest Intelligence Department started from scratch and gradually came out from its extremely meager foundation. Now, not only domestic intelligence can be delivered in time, but almost all the movements of the Beiyang and the Revolutionary Party will be known here. The foreign network is also in a sound state. However, I don’t know if it is because of the darkness and the walking many times, Shi Lei seems to like to hide in the darkness more and more. This may be a habit, and even in the base camp in the northwest.

"Do you know their purpose?" Yang Yuanzhao asked after taking a sip of tea.

Shi Lei knew what Yang Yuanzhao was asking, sorted it out a little, and began to say: "Chen Jiageng and his team's purpose is to buy machines, which is very simple, but the six major Chinese families are a bit mysterious. This meeting was also proposed by them, but the specific purpose is ominous!"

Yang Yuanzhao raised his eyebrows, and Shi Lei's answer was very cautious, but it was not the answer he wanted. He then asked: "What is the intelligence department's estimate?"

"They may be here to seek support!"

"Oh, what support?"

"According to the information we have received, these Nanyang families have close ties with the Chinese countries that were once in Borneo and even Southeast Asia. They may even be the separate bets of the Chinese families. They have been seeking to establish a country for a long time, but they have not succeeded. It may be that through the strength we have shown, we have seen hope and wanted us to help them!"

Shi Lei briefly explained the real purpose of the intelligence department to the Nanyang delegation. Yang Yuanzhao simply thought that it was true. These Chinese rich families have been deeply rooted for so many years. In the past, so many Chinese countries became like castles on the beach after the arrival of the great powers. They also knew that without strong support and their own force, a beautiful country would be like a moon in the mirror.

Originally, perhaps they were just going to be a rich man slowly, but around 1908, the emergence of the northwest, with the help of the German brand of Habi, immigrated a large number of Chinese to Borneo. At the beginning, not many people discovered it. However, as time went by, especially the German-Mexico Farm, only hiding the eyes of the colonial authorities and not hiding the eyes of the people. As more and more people became more and more, it was almost inevitable that they would socialize with the outside world.

Latest men like Chen Jiageng and some small-scale landlords and wealthy businessmen may not know, but they have been rooted in the Southeast for hundreds of years and have been everywhere. They have too many channels to discover the Northwest movements, and then start to look at the Northwest to see what they are going to do.

However, when I saw this, I watched the northwest gradually control Borneo. After 4 million more Chinese in Southeast Asia, the German-Mei Farm had strong military power and even had an army, which also allowed many Chinese families to see opportunities. It is better to rely on themselves than to rely on others.

It is better to seek oneself than to seek others. Over the past few hundred years, the exploitation and harvesting of Chinese by the powers in Southeast Asia have to a certain extent made the security line in the hearts of Chinese people tense. They are eager to find strength, but there is no such force at all. Don’t joke about the Qing government. Even the people in China are not valued by the Qing government, let alone foreign countries.

In order to protect oneself and to demand, Zheng Mingsheng and other Nanyang families began to support Sun Yat-sen, striving to overthrow the Qing government and establish the Republic of China. The choice was right and the approach was not good, but the development of things was not based on personal will. The Tongmenghui overthrew the Qing Dynasty, but Nanyang was still the same. The revolutionary party did not gain China's leadership and had no time to take care of Southeast Asian affairs.

The money was wasted again, and the Chinese families in Nanyang also realized that they had to rely on themselves. Under this situation, the emergence of the powerful Northwest became their natural choice, and they had to seize this opportunity.

There was a knocking sound from outside the door. Yang Yuanzhao raised his head. At this moment, it was impossible to knock on the door to disturb him. In addition to the heads of the government, there were only his secretary who could talk to him. He agreed casually and let him come in. It was indeed the secretary. The secretary walked to Yang Yuanzhao and said with his ears. After Yang Yuanzhao slapped the table and said, "Si Shi, your opinion is right. They are indeed here to seek support!" (To be continued.)
