The convoy slowly entered Baotou. In just over a month, it crossed the entire China. From Wuhan in the southern country, it crossed the Yangtze River, and finally passed through Tianjin and the capital, and returned to Baotou. Yang Yuanzhao had a great harvest, but the most important thing in front of him was not to clean up his harvest, but to sow cotton.

21,000 acres of cotton can be said to be the basis for his closer contact with Shanxi merchants. The traditional primary industry of agriculture, even in the later generations of the 21st century, could not be fully relaxed. What's more, in this era, it is rare to plant cotton in Baotou in Baotou's history. It is the first time that such a large-scale area is.

At the Baoken Company's headquarters, Yang Yuanzhao met Wei Ming and the two landlords who were welcomed. In more than a month, they had already prepared almost all the preparations, waiting for Yang Yuanzhao and Yang Yue to come back to carry out the next step of work.

"Yuan Zhao, what are you going to do in your greenhouse?" This has been a question that Yang Yue asked countless times. Yang Yuanzhao has always been smiling. Now that he has arrived in Baotou, he can no longer hold it back.

"The things have come back!" Yang Yuanzhao looked at Liu Shu and asked, "Brother Zelin, has the goods from Demei Foreign Company arrived?"

"It has arrived. The delivery man said, don't unbox it easily. I didn't unbox it, and it was piled in the warehouse!"

"Let's go and see our stuff!" Yang Yuanzhao said with a wave of his hand.

When Yang Yuanzhao was in Shanghai, he prepared the products, including 60 tons of urea, about 30 tons of other fertilizers, and some agricultural machinery. Among them, urea is the focus.

Yang Yuanzhao can synthesize urea, a new organic substance that can be made of 60 tons, really took him a lot of time. He even made a lot of sludge for some trace elements, and finally completed the configuration. As for the materials of the greenhouse, it is even simpler because its specific gravity is very light, and it is copied on the basis of plastic bags in supermarkets in later generations. They are all rolled papers, 3 meters wide and 50 meters long.

The items of dozens of tons were piled up in the warehouse, which seemed a little crowded, but they were initially classified.

No need to look at it. The largest pile is located in the center of the warehouse. The pungent urea smell made everyone who followed him frown slightly. Yang Yuanzhao was the most plain among the few people. Although he had never used urea in the farmland, he had learned about his performance under the laboratory and knew that it had a pungent odor.

Yang Yuanzhao's eyes fell to the other end of the entire warehouse, where the plastic film wrapped in canvas was covered with plastic. Yang Yuanzhao pointed to the pile and said, "Let them move the things out!"

Several senior executives of the Baokening Company were not slaves, especially those who were responsible for recruiting two landlords. With a wave of their hand, a dozen strong men stepped forward and picked up the film. The 600 acres of film was not too much or too little, but it was really piled up like a hill.

Yang Yuanzhao walked forward, found a roll, opened the canvas, and exposed the translucent plastic inside, which could not be fully transparent in the greenhouse, which was not conducive to the layout of the greenhouse. For this reason, Yang Yuanzhao increased the thickness. Compared with later agricultural films, this film is a bit thicker. What is the effect? ​​Yang Yuanzhao still doesn't know. It can be used in ordinary greenhouses. It is enough to plant some cotton seeds.

"Is this cellophane?" Yang Yue walked forward in surprise, transparent, as thin as a cicada's wings. This is the first feeling this film gives him. At the moment of his tentacles, he already knew that this and glass were completely different from glass. Although the bald head is very good, it is different from glass. The most important thing is that it gives him the feeling that this thing is still insulated.

The most important thing about greenhouses is this. If the greenhouse is not sealed properly, the effect will not be great. However, if this soft material is used in the whole piece, there is almost no need to consider the issue of sealing. The glass is different. It needs to be connected and sticky, so the sealing problem is very big.

Yang Yue was very sensitive to the benefits of this material, and even his vision of studying in the United States allowed him to see many of the extension functions of this plastic. This is an extraordinary material, and he hurriedly asked what the material was and how it came about.

Yang Yuanzhao was helpless about Yang Yue's sudden pursuit of scientific research. Plastics, a polymer material, will not sprout until the Second World War and will only develop vigorously after the war. If it weren't for the resources brought from later generations, I'm afraid that even if he knew the direction, it would take a long time to experiment before he could make this plastic. It would be almost impossible to achieve after traveling through time, only more than a month.

Yang Yuanzhao made a delay in one of the greenhouse areas. During this period, Wu Guangren and Zhao Shuming, in addition to recruiting personnel, put more thoughts on this side. They built a row of one-person-high walls with blue bricks, and then built a shed with bamboo poles and wood. When they came back, Yang Yuanzhao had checked it. Each one was very solid, so there was no need to make temporary adjustments. He had the time to do more things.

He signaled Yang Yue to help. The two of them opened a roll of plastic together and built it directly on the greenhouse shed. In a semi-enclosed form, they just covered the greenhouse. The plastic has good ductility and is only slightly fixed to form a complete greenhouse.

"Okay, it's really convenient!"

Yang Yuanzhao nodded, pointed to the greenhouse that had been laid out and said, "Just follow this, arrange all the 600-acre greenhouses!"

Soon, a group of people became busy on the 600 acres of land. Because of the cotton planting, Baoken Company hired a lot of people, with the number exceeding 1,000. The task of laying out greenhouses was not very difficult. Yang Yuanzhao basically demonstrated all the key points, with more than 1,000 people, and it took only 3 days to arrange all the greenhouses.

Since the greenhouse was completed, Yang Yue has been in the first greenhouse. He has a comprehensive understanding of the greenhouse and tested some things. He found that this greenhouse is not as powerful as the special greenhouse in the Agricultural College, but is much stronger than an ordinary glass house. Not to mention dealing with a small cotton seed cultivation, even larger agricultural research can be done.

Agriculture has always been Yang Yue's interest. Cotton planting is just an application of scientific research and practicality. In the past, it was not convenient to arrange a greenhouse in Baotou. Now, Yang Yue has become interested in the ready-made greenhouse. He keeps laying the greenhouse, making it no longer look like an ordinary cotton cultivation room, but rather like a scientific research center.

Yang Yuanzhao did not advise Yang Yue about his practice. Yang Yue is one of the few agronomists in China. He knows some agricultural things, but he is not comprehensive. Growing cotton or other greenhouse vegetables is all a small problem. The real killer lies in high-quality and excellent performance varieties, such as high-yield wheat and hybrid rice.

China has a vast land and a wealth of resources, which has been revealed since the late Qing Dynasty. When the great powers were still circulating with tens of millions of people, China had already exceeded 450 million. The huge population has brought heavy pressure to China. The food has never been enough. If the food problem is not solved, even if Yang Yuanzhao developed well in the northwest, Baotou's industrial output value surpassed that of Germany's Ruhr, becoming the world's number one, it would be a castle on the beach. There is no other reason. Just look at the disintegration of the Soviet Union in later generations. It is blindly developing wildly in one aspect, ignoring another aspect, and eventually collapsed.

Yang Yue's research is still very basic. Even the agricultural laboratory is in the stage of construction, and Yang Yuanzhao did not disturb him. The entire Baokening Company began the construction of greenhouses according to the established plan, especially inside. A large number of small bowls of one inch square were purchased from Taiyuan, Tianjin, and even Wuhan, and neatly placed them in the greenhouse. After Yang Yuanzhao and Yang Yue adjusted the formula together, the base fertilizer and some chemical fertilizer dishes were added, and they began to be neatly placed in the 600-acre greenhouse. The 21,000-acre cotton planting finally entered the actual stage.
Chapter completed!
