The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Director Hou nodded silently: "What you said makes a lot of sense, please continue."

Yang Dalin continued, "By the way, Director, regarding the matter of grain, I have an important report to give you."

I also heard from some foreign experts on Hong Kong Island that they have already started researching hybrid rice.

This type of rice can significantly increase rice yield.

We should take this matter seriously as soon as possible.

This matter should be treated as a very important task.

Experimental fields should be established in all major rice-producing areas, and experts should be assigned to conduct separate studies.

We should also pay attention to the cultivation of excellent seeds such as wheat, corn, and soybeans.

I don't have enough funds, but I'll raise some more next time I pass through Hong Kong Island.

I suggest you pay close attention to this matter and protect those capable and experienced experts.

This also involves our country's food security issue.

For example, if we develop a seed that can produce high yields, but it can only be eaten and cannot be used as seed the following year, wouldn't it be possible to control the lifeline of a country by only selling the seeds?

If they listen to us, that's fine. But if they don't, we can just stop supplying them seeds and make them cause trouble in their country.

"Just think about it, isn't this kind of warfare amazing?"

Director Hou was surprised to hear that such a thing was possible.

Yang Dalin explained it to him in detail.

Yang Dalin then told Director Hou about what he knew about the four major grain merchants of later generations.

To be honest, this kind of thing really needs to be given high attention by Director Hou's department and can be implemented.

If we were to explain the financial war to Director Hou at this point, he wouldn't understand. Besides, there are practically no private enterprises left in China these days.

Foreign capital can't come in right now, so we can only wait and see.

However, we can mention the issue of the war on grain and seeds to Director Hou.

Yang Dalin also made grand promises to him, such as controlling the seed markets of Russia and the United States.

That doesn't mean we can win without a fight.

The reason Yang Dalin told these things to Director Hou was that he wanted to use their department to protect those agricultural experts in advance.

For example, to minimize the setbacks for Mr. Yuan and his colleagues, and to cultivate hybrid rice seeds ahead of schedule.

Of course, Yang Dalin's company in Hong Kong Island has also established a seed breeding company.

Three grain companies were subsequently established.

You can't put all your eggs in one bowl, but you also can't live without competition.

The outside world is capitalist; only through competition can one go further.

The reason why so many state-owned enterprises in China went bankrupt is because of the lack of competition and the monopoly, which made them more likely to fail.

Before he left Hong Kong last time, he sent his men to other countries to recruit agricultural experts.

Countries around the world are offering high salaries to poach talent, while Java has chosen several small islands to develop experimental fields.

The rice there can be harvested three times a year, which can greatly shorten the cultivation time.

As for the research that has led to the cultivation of new seeds, the technology can be shared domestically.

As for making money, that can be handled by his company.

We can cooperate with Director Hou to implement this plan.

One day they will control most of the bald eagle's seed market.

Oh dear, if the bald eagle ever misbehaves, just take it down.

As for highly skilled seed researchers from other countries who were unwilling to join the three major grain companies he had established, Yang Dalin could secretly eliminate them.

For example, something could happen like being robbed and murdered by a petty thug, or your plane could crash while you're on a plane.

For example, if someone gets into a car accident, or has an accident while eating or drinking, they might die.

Of course, Yang Dalin plans to do this not only with these experts, but also with all kinds of other scientists.

Yang Dalin would disguise these companies with a guise of a Bald Eagle, a John Bull, or even a Gallic Rooster.

Even squid's capital can be packaged.

Director Hou was very interested in his plan.

He was prepared to actually carry it out.

They had some funds, but not much, so he agreed to Yang Dalin's plan.

Yang Dalin would later send a portion of some excellent foreign seeds that had been scavenged to Director Hou.

Then, various highly confidential grain seed breeding bases were established across the country.

These experts and their departments will make sure that the military personnel protect them.

Let them fully immerse themselves in their research without worrying about anything else.

All family members were also protected.

Either deliver it directly to them.

Establish a highly confidential farm directly.

Outsiders are not allowed to enter or visit.

Protect them to the greatest extent possible.

Yang Dalin was relieved, as he was worried that they might encounter many setbacks if the wind picked up.

They'll be under military protection; anyone who dares to attack will be shot dead.

Let's see who dares to cause trouble for no reason.

These farms are all led by experts who have expertise in the field.

Just avoid hiring useless people who only know how to give orders.

The farm's experts gave them the right to vote, and any leader who only gave orders and didn't do anything practical could be dismissed and transferred.

Scientific experiments cannot tolerate any substandard or inferior materials being mixed in.

After listening to these suggestions, Director Hou patted Yang Dalin on the shoulder happily: "Good, good, I've noted them down."

We'll listen to you and see what miracles they can create for us.

I promise they can just focus on their research.

To prevent them from being disturbed by any external factors.

I've entrusted this matter to Gao Xiaolong; only he and I know about it.

I only reported directly to the instructors; I didn't tell anyone else.

Even if I leave this position one day, he will continue to carry out my wishes.

But you'd better get me plenty of funding.

"Don't worry about that, Director."

I will find a way to obtain a large amount of technical data and funding.

"Okay, alright, we've gotten a bit off-topic."

We can do this to the Chinese in Java who don't want to come back, but what do you think about the aid to Vietnam? They didn't provide free support, did they?

We don't have enough personnel or supplies to support them right now.

It was 1963, and the great war to aid Vietnam against the United States had not yet broken out.

There were only a few small battles fought beforehand.

In the following six or five years, the United States stopped fighting proxy wars and began to directly participate in the war. Although we did not directly send many troops to participate in the war, we sent many officers to help them train soldiers and provided a lot of food, weapons, ammunition and other supplies free of charge.

In the following decade or so, hundreds of thousands of people were sent to help them build roads and bridges, establish air defense projects, and logistics projects. The Ministry of Railways alone sent hundreds of thousands of people to help them build railways.

Not to mention the food, supplies, weapons, and ammunition that followed and were provided free of charge.

These supplies, though scattered, will add up to a value of 30 billion dragon yuan ten years from now.

Ten years later, our Longyuan coins haven't depreciated much.

Purchasing power remains weak.
