Chapter 1032: Creating Momentum
25 trillion, Dad, this kind of agriculture, we can't even handle it.
Yang Qing chuckled and said.
You said, does that place underground have any mineral deposits, any oil?
Also, if your Three-Dimensional Farm technology really matures, how much grain could that region produce in a year?
Is ten trillion catties possible?
This could directly double the nation's grain output.
Let's not talk about the food security issue.
Just the industries driven by this grain—primary, secondary, tertiary—would be no less than 10 trillion.
It could also directly lay the industrial foundation for the west, letting the western development be realized.
Moreover, there are even more economic and political values.
You should know that the surrounding countries are all grain-scarce.
Yang Qihang already roughly understood a bit.
Dad, what do you mean?
Yang Qing slapped his pen on the table.
My meaning is, if the government figures out this account, they would also be willing to increase investment in this area.
Since you all said it, it's basic infrastructure.
Led by the government, it could not only attract the most people to join, creating economies of scale, but also greatly reduce construction costs.
Yang Fan.
Reduce construction costs?
Yang Qing nodded.
Do you think underground reservoirs are just underground reservoirs?
These are individual water resource nodes.
If we connect all these underground reservoirs, it becomes a water resource network spread across the entire desert region.
Where precipitation is higher, we can quickly route water via the water network to arid areas.
If the government controls these water resources, it can also earn money by selling them.
So the investment won't all become sunk cost.
If we expand this line of thought a bit.
Redirect flood-season water resources from the desert's surrounding areas into the desert water network.
It could very well directly revitalize the entire desert belt.
You should know, the sources of our two great rivers are not far from the desert.
Thump thump………
Yang Fan's and Yang Qihang's hearts began to beat.
What is Yang Qing doing?
He is clearly trying to lure the government into action.
This is what leveraging momentum? This is clearly creating momentum.
Of course the key is still the Three-Dimensional Farm technology, but with the Yang Family taking the lead, the government should give this opinion great weight.
In that case, Dad is also factoring them out.
This is that huge strategic plan.
There are many things in it that Dad didn't mention, but the government will perfectly fill them in.
For example, political and military value.
A major problem of Daxia is that the economy is heavy in the east and light in the west, while the population is dense in the east and sparse in the west.
Why? A major reason is the west's desolation.
Once the west becomes a land of fish and rice, many problems can be readily solved.
Imagine piling hundreds of millions of people into that region—the deterrent power!
On this continent, everyone will have to look at Daxia's face.
The "two-five kids" will become a thing of the past.
With those hundreds of millions of people, who would dare to provoke the Ox Country?
Dad placed desert agriculture under a much larger framework.
Many things that were huge difficulties for them are no longer problems.
He also placed them in a higher position.
Naturally, their pressure will also be greater.
Because it all depends on whether their desert Three-Dimensional Farm technology can truly be perfected.
Because even after planning so much, they still lack water there.
Normal agriculture would struggle to meet such a scale.
Water is the source of life, not just empty talk.
Dad, you're saying all this because you want us to talk to the cabinet?
Yang Qing didn't say it directly, but said.
You two hold the positions of councillors; you can't just sit idle.
You need to make some contribution.
Others may not ask, but you two can't say nothing at all.
Especially when you previously took over large tracts of land.
We need to say hello.
The reason also needs to be explained.
There are still many important secrets on the west side.
After understanding Yang Qing's meaning, Yang Fan, whose mind had been muddled by Yang Qing's circling, finally became clear-headed.
Dad, if that's what you mean, just say it straight.
Going around in circles.
Yang Qing glared at him again.
After this kid stepped back, he somehow feels a bit slow.
Yang Fan sighed; he just couldn't stay idle at first and wanted to find something to do, but who knew, this matter kept snowballing.
Now it's even reached the cabinet.
Yang Qing hasn't finished yet.
You think that's all?
Anything else?
The two of them became interested again.
Dad, isn't this enough?
This is already enough; if it were someone else, you'd have taken their pants off.
Yang Qing, instead of rushing, admonished them.
You guys, you can't blame Qing Feng for having to come personally.
It's a bit too depressing.
Yang Qihang showed a helpless expression.
Dad, we just wanted to go with the trend and do some desert greening, but who knew, Qing Feng came over, you came over, and things just kept getting bigger.
Yang Qing glanced at them.
All at once, mobilizing that much money—are you just playing around?
When did our family become so rich?
Come, let me see what rich people are like…
Yang Fan said angrily.
Alright, Dad, why are you mocking us when we haven't even started?
This isn't just because you're throwing money around.
You can throw money around as you please, so why can't we do something more meaningful?
Yang Qing now understands; I was wondering why those two do things so roughly.
Originally, it was just propped up by having a lot of money, with no deep research or analysis at all.
Yang Qing looked toward Yang Qihang.
Yang Qihang hurried to explain.
I did a preliminary study, felt it could be done, and then decided with my older brother to do it together.
Yang Qing saw their appearance and realized they truly didn't think that way.
You want to accomplish something without the company's help, relying only on yourselves?
Yang Fan laughed along.
These years, the company has developed not badly, but most of it is done by the company's people.
It makes me feel unfulfilled.
We just want to try, to see if a newly built team of our own can succeed.
For such a thing, there's naturally no need to consider so much.
Dad, you've already arranged all of this.
It makes me feel meaningless.
Seeing Yang Qing look over, Yang Qihang also nodded.
He's different; he just wants to plant trees and forests to do greening.
Yang Qing understands, but has no intention of compromising at all.
I've racked my brains so much just to finish supplementing the matter, and you say you don't want to play?
This is something you can skip if you don't want to play.
The strategy has already been issued, so it can't be abandoned halfway.
