    Xia Yang replied: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

    Then, they jumped onto the wooden boat and rowed towards the other side of the Yellow River in the dark.

    After arriving on the other side, Xia Yang had just jumped off the boat when he saw a large number of figures swaying on the hillside not far away.

    Xia Yang suddenly became alert, and then asked Huang Da next to him: "Captain Huang, are those also our people?"

    Huang Da smiled and said, "It's the Traveler and the others. They've also come to greet you."

    Hearing this, Xia Yang breathed a sigh of relief.  I thought that if this was the Japanese army, they might have no choice but to jump into the Yellow River.

    Soon, the people on the mountain ran in front of Xia Yang and the others.

    Xia Yang saw that the leaders were none other than He Changxing and Wei Xing.

    "Master, I haven't seen you for a year! I miss you so much!" Wei Xing spoke in authentic Tianjin dialect and gave Xia Yang a big hug.

    Qiu Guoping next to him was not good at words. He just smiled and saluted Xia Yang with a military salute to express his inner joy.

    "Master, how long will you be here this time?" He Changxing asked.

    ??

    As he said this, he began to think in his mind that it was not yet November, and according to history, the Japanese army's encirclement and suppression of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region began on November 7th.  Even if it is postponed due to the Battle of Nomenhan, it will be roughly within that time frame.

    "Okay, let's go back." Wei Xing said, "We have prepared a dinner for you to wash away the dust."

    Xia Yang laughed and said: "A few days ago, the Mongolian Ancient City gave me a chance to cleanse myself from the wind, and now you are here again, and my little belly is about to be eaten out."

    With that said, he walked forward surrounded by everyone.

    At noon the next day, Xia Yang woke up from his sleep.  He had been marching for many days and finally had a good sleep today.

    After lunch, Xia Yang immediately summoned several major commanders, as well as some more industry elites, and began to inspect several counties and cities.

    Their inspection lasted for a total of three days, basically without stopping. The scope of their inspection included agriculture, industry, military, administration, residents' life, education and other aspects.

    The area assigned to him by Commander-in-Chief Li is not large. Counting Xin'an County, there are only a few places such as Yima County, Shengchi County, and Sanmenxia.  But fortunately, it is close to the Yellow River, there is enough arable land, and it is also in the river valley, so the land is very fertile.

    It is such a narrow strip that allows hundreds of thousands of people to live on this land.

    After the Japanese army occupied eastern Henan, a large number of people migrated to western Henan, causing the population here to surge to more than one million in a short period of time.

    He Changxing and others actively arranged for refugees and encouraged these refugees to develop their own cultivated land. As long as the cultivated land is developed by themselves, it will directly belong to them.

    Although such a policy is simple, it has greatly stimulated the subjective initiative of these refugees and opened up a large amount of cultivated land in western Henan.

    And these cultivated lands were sown with wheat and corn seeds provided by Xia Yang in accordance with Xia Yang's requirements.

    The seeds of crops such as corn and wheat provided by Xia Yang are high-quality seeds selected by later generations of scientists after repeated cultivation.  Not only can it resist pests and diseases, but the yield per unit area has also been doubled compared to the grain at this time.

    The so-called science and technology is the primary productive force. This statement will never become outdated no matter when it is put.

    Originally, He Changxing was worried that the cultivated land would not be able to support these farmers, but he found that his worries were completely unnecessary.  The yield of crop seeds cultivated by later generations of scientists far exceeded He Changxing's imagination.

    Even some professors from Henan University are very surprised that these seeds can have such a high yield.

    We need to know the yield of wheat and other grains sown by farmers in this era. The yield of 100 kilograms per acre of land in the north is considered a very good yield.  But after using the seeds provided by Xia Yang, the grain yield per mu easily reached more than 500 kilograms.

    Some well-managed farmland can produce up to 600 kilograms of grain per mu.

    These are high-quality seeds cultivated by scientists after repeated seed cultivation.  For example, Shandong's "Jimai 22" has a smallThe yield per mu can actually reach 789.9 kilograms, which is nearly 800 kilograms per mu.  This is an output that people of this era cannot imagine.

    Because of the existence of these seeds and the farmland management techniques promoted by Xia Yang, the grain output per acre in the area under Xia Yang's jurisdiction has increased several times.

    He Changxing, who was originally worried that the food would not be able to feed so many refugees, was completely relieved.  They later harvested grain. In addition to enough grain left by each family, each family was also able to provide hundreds of kilograms of grain to support the war and the development of the army.

    This forced He Changxing to build several granaries in succession, otherwise the grain would have to be placed in the open air.

    After the food production was guaranteed, He Changxing originally implemented a certain degree of control over the flow of refugees into the western Henan region.  Then it was completely liberalized, allowing more and more refugees to enter the area.

    "The substantial increase in food production has given us the confidence to develop this area. Now we plan to receive another 100,000 refugees, and then build three new villages and towns to resettle them. At the same time, we will develop more arable land and integrate seed and agricultural management  The technology should be promoted on a wider scale." He Changxing said to Xia Yang.

    After they finished the inspection, they started a summary meeting.  This summary meeting was attended by a large number of people, mostly leaders from various industries.

    Xia Yang listened to his report, and the corners of his mouth kept rising.

    At this time, he seemed to think of something, and then said: "By the way, what about the education issue? These people have entered the western Henan area and cannot just cultivate the land. Some children who are not yet adults are sent to schools.  , at least learn to read." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
