Having completed the large-scale diversion of the main east-west transverse main stream of the Mekong River, there are two major things that must be done in the northern part of the Mekong Covenant region.

The first thing to do was to build a horizontal east-west arterial channel parallel to the Qing border, which would not only be the junction of the Mekong River from the Lancang River into the Lao Whirlpool, but also the first line of defense for all members of the Mekong Alliance.

The second is to build a large, high-yield paddy field. This is also a beautiful yearning that Mai Ke has long dreamed of and often let him come back at midnight!

The reason is that he is very fond of eating rice made from glutinous rice and its by-products, such as zongzi, sticky buns, rice balls, etc., and he is willing to eat it himself, and everyone else likes to eat it

Therefore, he hopes to have a large piece of land, mass production, mass supply, let go of the big belly, eat as much as he wants, eat as much as he wants, and grow glutinous rice whenever he wants.

Of course, Mai Ke has never been a pure idealist, and if he really wants to implement the plan of mass cultivation, he still has to go through strict investigation.

According to his survey results, 90 percent of southerners like this kind of glutinous rice, while northerners are much less, but 70 percent like it, so all things considered, there are still 8 percent of adults who like glutinous rice.

Mai Ke was overjoyed when he learned of this result!

Now he can go all out to promote and arrange the production of glutinous rice and rice! He really did not expect that his favorite type of grain would be so popular with the public.

Therefore, he began to draft his blueprint for rice planting, and then discussed it with Yunshan, Bajie, Jizhi and others. At the same time, Yi Shuwen, the mayor of Shenglaowu, who is in charge of the affairs of the old whirlpool, and Feng Yashu, the mayor of the são Myanmar, who is in charge of Myanmar affairs, were brought together to jointly determine the plan of this big rice plantation.

Mai Ke's preliminary plan is to start from the entry point of the old Mekong River vortex and continue to the fourth east-west transverse channel, with a distance of two degrees from north to south, that is, from 18 degrees north latitude to 20 degrees north latitude.

The east-west width is also about two degrees apart, that is, from one hundred and one degrees east longitude to one hundred and third degrees east longitude.

The two degrees of longitude together are about 170 kilometers, and the latitudes are slightly longer, making a total of 220 kilometers.

If converted into city acres, a total of more than 50 million mu will be obtained. Reduce the land occupied by houses, roads, etc. within this range. We should get 30 million mu of land that can actually grow rice, and if we make use of the spirit rhino to develop the unexploited land, we can get at least 40 million mu of arable land suitable for rice planting.

According to the distribution of land in the holy cities involved. Myanmar gets 10 million mu, while Lao Vortex gets 30 million mu.

This cultivation industry alone. You can keep all the old vortex people busy.

This is also a strategic vision of Maike. The concentration of agriculture by the purely landlocked Lao Vortex would not only be useful to its strengths, but would also be very helpful in raising the membership of all Mekong Compact Alliances.

At this time. Yi Shuwen, the mayor of Lao Vortex, has already calculated the total output.

According to the calculation of 500 kilograms per mu of wheat, 40 million mu can produce 20 million tons of rice, and if each person eats 200 kilograms per year, it can meet the annual grain consumption of 100 million people.

"I have a question, Mai Ke. Feng Yunshan asked, "Although you can produce 800 kilograms per mu in the future, but now the local yield, I have done a survey, and it is only 200 kilograms at most, how can you achieve a yield of 500 kilograms per mu?"

Yunshan also crossed over, of course, it is not surprising that the yield per mu in the later generations of the road is more than a ton. But now......

Mai Ke smiled and said, "First of all, the book is very fast, which is very good! But your result is not right, you have to double it." Because the yield of 500 kilograms per mu is a single season, but in fact we have at least two crops here, and three seasons are also normal.

"Secondly, I want to answer Yunshan's question, there are three key links to high yield: the first is to have good seeds, otherwise no matter how good the rats are, they will not be able to give birth to weasels.

"Second, it is necessary to have mature and advanced cultivation techniques, and third, it is necessary to have a suitable natural environment and conditions.

I am responsible for solving the first seed problem, and I am responsible for providing the second technical problem, and Yun Shang and the two mayors are responsible for promoting, as long as the rice farmers use my seeds according to my technical skills, I will ensure that they will achieve the goal of 500 kilograms in one season and 1,000 kilograms in two seasons without much effort!

"As for the third season, as long as they are diligent, there will never be a lower output than the first two seasons.

"The third point is that the most basic conditions are already in place, there is a subtropical climate, which is suitable for crops to grow all year round, there is a large amount of land suitable for growing rice along the banks of the river, and those mountainous and hilly areas, with a little leveling, can be cultivated like the fertile soil on the riverbank.

"I also did the work of leveling the land!"

Of course, Mai Ke can take care of everything, because these physical tasks are all done by Lingxi!

"Such a large number of rice planting, transplanting and harvesting all require a lot of manpower, especially in the middle of the season, harvesting and transplanting will be crowded together, where to find such a large number of labor?" Mai Ke's apprentice Zhu Bajie recorded while thinking, and considered all this information comprehensively, so he raised such a question with strong practical significance.

"That's right! Storage, transportation, sales and other items, there will be corresponding problems, and what this little brother said just now is very right. Feng Yashu agreed with Zhu Bajie's question.

"These are all practical questions, Xie Lu thanked everyone for raising them. But these are not big problems and will be gradually solved later. Mai Ke smiled and said, "I will arrange to solve these things! If you still can't solve it after the worst problem, just leave it to me."

Speaking of this, Mai Ke glanced at everyone and said, "If there is no major difference in principle, we will end here, and Bajie will go back and officially record all the matters decided today and put them in the secret partition for collection." ”

Mai Ke said that, he continued to sail north, directly to the border area, and in a short time, everyone had already arrived.

Mai Ke did not stop and immediately began to operate, leading the Mekong River into Laowo to the east and west.

Now they are all on the 20th parallel of the virtual line, bringing the Mekong River westward to the northern part of Myanmar.

The Mekong River flows eastward directly into the northern part of the Lao Whirlpool, then through the Hoi Phen Plateau, and finally into Annam.

This section of the Mekong River to the east meets four or five inland rivers and is now part of the Mekong River and is part of the Mekong River system.

After the completion of the east-west main trunk of the border, Maike was immediately opened to connect the water network with the fourth east-west horizontal river, which happened to include the 40 million mu of rice fields in the plan.

When the main rivers in the north and south were dredged, all the arable land for planting rice was prepared and organized, and it became a quickly neat and well-organized rice field.

All paddy fields are surrounded by water from the Mekong River, ready to supply the water they need.

Just when everyone was amazed and appreciative of this huge and shocking large rice field, Mai Ke was planting all the rice fields with green seedlings.

While urging the green rice fields, Mai Ke pondered how to deal with the difficulties of those Manchu officials. (To be continued......)
