Seeing Qiao Xiaomu's solemn face, Lao Ba said again: Of course, there is a lot of investment in the development of the eastern part of the country, and there is a lot of trouble, so I hope you can put forward a bill at the regular meeting of the Senate tomorrow night, so that everyone can discuss and discuss it, and listen to everyone's opinions.

In addition, the key to the development of the eastern part of the island is electricity, and as for whether it is hydropower or hot spots, everyone has their own opinions, and I am inclined to engage in hydropower.

However, the majority of the current opinion is to build a port thermal power plant by importing coal, after all, this is very convenient, and the investment is not large - there is a ready-made set of thermal power plant equipment in the cave, which can be used to change the energy shortage on the island in one fell swoop.

At this time, Qiao Xiaomu responded that Cao Limei hopes to build a pithead power plant, after all, the island is quite rich in lignite, although this kind of coal is not good for coal coke chemical industry, it can not only be used as fuel, but also calcined cement by burning the remaining cinders, which is still a good idea.

Lao Ba nodded and asked: But didn't it mean that the Kengkou Power Plant needs Boss Luo and them to vigorously cooperate with the replication equipment? Not yet, right?

Qiao Xiaomu replied: In fact, Sister Cao's project is completely feasible, the fifth brother of the pithead power plant has long been designed, he is engaged in thermal power, the technology is ready-made, Boss Luo, the ten-kilowatt Stirling engine they are making now is a good pithead power generation equipment, and the power transmission and transformation equipment can also be produced by itself, although the efficiency is a little worse, but it is completely usable, and the installation is fast.

When Lao Ba heard this, he suddenly remembered something and said: By the way, last time Zixia Island sent a telegram, asking for a set of such engines for them, saying that their open-pit coal mine needed it, so that they could supply power to the newly built governor's palace.

Qiao Xiaomu replied, yes, once the Zixia Island Kengkou Thermal Power Plant is built, it can completely alleviate their energy shortage.

It's just that Boss Luo's side is too busy, and there is basically no hope in the near future, and there is no way to do hydropower Zixia Island, unlike us who still have the cascade development of the eight rivers here......

The next night, the Senate held its regular weekend meeting on time.

The regular meeting that night was held simultaneously with the "three ships and three places", and the third ship was the new ship of Zhu Beiguo, the acting captain Xu Zhidang, the acting chief officer.

This new ship is the first Pride-class sister ship assembled by the travelers after they came to the New World, using cave materials, the Iwusaki.

Here, about the origin of the strange ship name of the "Yi Wu Xuan", we will talk about it later, since Zhu Beiguo Xu Zhi and the two took Peng Qiang, Hu Xiaolin and others to the new ship to go to sea for sea trials in July, there have been a lot of movements, Zhu Beiguo Xu Zhi and they are training the crew, while doing various things, according to the current Yi Wu Wei is carrying out a new mission - going north to Jinxia to do arms business with Zheng Chenggong's forces, and strive to meet Zheng Chenggong himself, but from beginning to end the whole thing is a long story, so it can only be put in the future slowly, Please be patient and look down.

There were no major issues to be discussed at the regular weekend meeting of the House of Councillors, but since Lao Ba visited the island the day before, various issues have come out, and the content of the discussion has become important.

So after a brief exchange between them, Mr. Sun thought that this meeting was very important and needed to be held longer, and also thought that it was necessary to notify overseas partners to communicate together, so the meeting became one day and two nights.

Fortunately, the three ships and three places can now communicate smoothly by radio, and it is relatively convenient for the venues in different locations to communicate by telegraph.

Judging from the items that were provided for discussion at the meeting, there were two broad topics and a number of separate items, and it was clear that this did not include the ad hoc motions that were likely to arise at the meeting.

The two major issues are the development of eastern Mornington Island and the deployment of labor, and the three relatively independent projects are railway construction, thermal power construction, shipbuilding and crew training.

The first is the development of the eastern part of Mornington Island, and it is believed that although the developed area of the island is still in a state of vast and sparsely populated areas, the development of the eastern part should be put on the agenda in consideration of the future industrial layout - the main driving force is the telegram from Lao Wang from Sin'an City.

The telegram was about the idea of building an agricultural and livestock base in the eastern part of Mornington Island.

Lao Wang said that he and Lao Zhu had been brewing this idea for many days.

Lao Zhu believes that the development of Sydney Island Ranch and Saifu Island Ranch has made it very necessary to engage in large-scale farming, especially poultry farming, on a piece of land with a coastline in the east coast area.

Because Saifu's large livestock, Limousin cattle and merino sheep, have taken up most of the island's resources, the space for poultry is getting narrower.

Do you still remember the big green bird eggs weighing one pound that everyone brought back from the southern desert island? Yes, that's an emu egg.

Now Lao Zhu has made the original dozen eggs into a large population, this kind of large ostrich-like "poultry" occupies a lot of space, the space of Saifu Island can no longer meet its feeding needs, need to find another open and rich water source place to raise, Lao Zhu selected to choose, found the most economical and convenient plan, is to build a special breeding base in the eastern circle of Mornington Island.

In addition, all the cash crops and food crops that Lao Wang has recently cultivated will appear in the eastern part of Mornington Island in the form of intensive cultivation.

Soon, hundreds of square kilometres of savanna will be transformed into large areas of regular farmland, where wheat, corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes will be intensively cultivated in thousands of acres.

At the same time, the sugar cane and sugar beet planting base will also be built in the east, and Lao Wang described to everyone that you will see an endless forest sea there - that is the sugar cane forest.

And sugar beet is even grown on a larger scale than sugar cane.

On this basis, a series of food processing plants will be built there, including a comprehensive grain processing plant made of rice, corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes - you will taste authentic sweet potato flour and rice flour, in addition to a flour processing plant and a starch factory, and a distillery - the products will be Xianrendong milk wine, rum, beer and a new liquor that Lao Zhu was commissioned by Lao Wang to introduce to everyone, this kind of wine is very special, Lao Wang thinks should be sought after by the market.

And, of course, you also produce a "very popular" Sanlao drink with the crew.

In addition, there will be a large-scale combined meat processing plant for fresh meat and cured bacon processed from allspice, as well as canned food for various fish, cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry, as well as an integrated dairy processing plant, where a confectionery factory, including chocolate, is also intended.

Finally, there will be a sizable organic fertilizer processing plant.

And the processing residues from all these factories can also be used in a comprehensive way, either in the nearest fertile fields or for feed for farming – a very green and economical internal circulation......

At this meeting, the scene described by Lao Wang in the telegram to everyone is really attractive, especially under Lao Zhu's on-site play, the construction plan of this eastern agricultural and animal husbandry industrial base has been actively supported by everyone, although Yu Hewei, president of the "Beishang Fund", questioned the limitations of this plan in terms of labor and capital investment, but because this construction plan was warmly supported by the vast majority of senators on the scene, Yu Hewei also agreed to raise funds as soon as possible to start the construction project.

After all, these people are all shareholders of the "Northbound Fund", and no matter how much Yu Hewei doubts, he has to agree to invest money - if he doesn't want to be outraged by the public and be voted out by many shareholders.

As for the fine chemical industry promoted by Qiao Xiaomu, after getting a guarantee that it would not pollute the local water and soil resources at all, Yu Hewei happily approved the construction project.
