According to Li Hui, after becoming an ink person, he must strictly follow the strict discipline within the door and accept the all-round supervision of other ink people, which Yuan Shikai can't accept no matter what, plus the identity of the ink person has no other benefits except for the necessary conditions for running for the title of prince and head of state, and he doesn't dare to covet Li Hui's position, becoming an ink person is definitely worth the loss, Yuan Shikai is not a very curious person, so he immediately wisely chose to give up.

Li Hui's excuse was indeed to avoid the danger of the lie being exposed, but it also led to the monopoly of the title of Ink Artist by the Biochemical Soldiers, and the other people who won the title of Ink were all posthumously awarded after sacrifice. Fortunately, there are really not many people in this world who can be more virtuous than cyborgs, and now no one has made immortal achievements, plus whether "from Xia Ke Island" is mostly not public, so this question is not fatal. However, Li Hui was still annoyed enough by this question, and secretly vowed never to lie again, this round lie is too tiring!

"When science and technology can begin to be studied in 1919, we must give priority to the research and development of naval science and technology, and use the system to quickly build one or two batches of the most advanced capital ships, and then we will no longer need the system to produce directly, only take the technical data, and then we can make Xia Ke Island disappear." , Li Hui secretly made a decision in his heart, then adjusted his mood and began to talk to Yuan Shikai about the focus of his next work.

Most of the work has been carried out, at least the plan has been set, Yuan Shikai only needs to do it after taking office, but there are also some work that needs to be explored, such as the management of saline-alkali land, the reason why Li Hui asked Zhang Jian to welcome Yuan Shikai is precisely to repair the relationship between the two, so as not to better cooperate in this work. In principle, the Ministry of Water Resources is responsible for the management of saline-alkali land, but the scale of this project is huge, and the Ministry of Water Resources alone cannot complete it, and it must have the cooperation of the central and local governments at all levels, and the organization and coordination of the prime minister are particularly important.

Li Hui is a native of Nantong, and in his impression, the quality of cultivated land in his hometown is excellent, in the words of an old farmer, even if only farmhouse manure (Note 1) is planted, and the rice is planted with relatively delicious rice instead of hybrid rice, the yield per mu can easily exceed 1,100 catties, and if you serve carefully and do not suffer a catastrophe, it is not difficult to reach more than 1,300 catties. In addition to the Taihu Lake Basin, which is the most elite in China, and the black soil area in Northeast China, which can only be cultivated once a year although the land is fertile, such cultivated land can definitely be called the top, but after meeting Zhang Jian, the former Qing champion who was famous for saving the country through industry, and chatted with him for a while about the current situation of his hometown, Li Hui learned that the Nantong area has not been a land for a long time, coupled with the long-term inaction of the Qing Dynasty government, the land salinization is very serious, not to mention the high yield, and many places cannot grow crops at all......

Not only that, but in Li Hui's memory, his hometown, which had never suffered a major disaster, was still a place of frequent disasters in the late Qing Dynasty, and if the criterion for a disaster year was to cause a significant reduction in crop yield, it was almost an average of two out of three years that were affected by disasters. Only then did Li Hui realize that in his memory, his hometown almost never suffered serious flood and drought disasters, probably not only because of the superior geographical location connecting the river and the sea, but also because of the persistent water conservancy construction after the founding of the People's Republic of China......

As a result, Li Hui immediately decided to use his hometown as a pilot area for water conservancy construction and salinity control, and explored experience for many other areas in similar situations across the country. Although the area of land with frequent floods and droughts and salinization in coastal areas is not very large, since the arable land in China's coastal areas basically meets the conditions for growing rice, as long as the disaster and salinization are solved, it can be turned into stable and high-yield fertile land, which is of great value!

What also surprised Li Hui was that Zhang Jian, who only remembered the three deeds of being the champion, Xing Industry, and Building a Normal School, actually knew a lot about water conservancy and soil improvement (in fact, Zhang Jiandian's test was water control, and he has always been very interested in this field, and he can be regarded as half a water conservancy expert. So he simply promoted him to the post of Minister of Water Resources, whose position had been vacant for a long time. Of course, it's still the old rule, act first, do a good job and then turn positive.

Compared with the coastal areas, there are more saline-alkali lands in those inland water-scarce areas, but most of them are caused by the lack of water on the surface (Note 2), and it is difficult to completely desalinate in a short period of time. Unlike coastal areas, where rice can be planted (where the salinity is too high to be planted immediately, rice grass can be planted for three years first) to produce a leaching effect, and it can be basically desalinated in a few years to achieve high yields, but at the cost of hard work.

The water conservancy construction is also not easy, the geographical location of the Yangtze River Delta should not have a big flood, because the sea is nearby, no matter how heavy the precipitation, the sea level will not rise even a centimeter, the reason why it is still vulnerable to disasters is mainly because the naturally formed rivers are winding and winding, and the drainage is not smooth, plus the lower reaches of the Yangtze River are said to be plains, but the natural landform is actually very potholed, far less flat than Northeast and North China, the distance is only a few miles, the height difference between the higher and the lower places on the ground can often have a few meters, Even more than ten meters, once the rainfall is a little heavier, the precipitation is easy to collect into the low-lying places to cause floods, and when the precipitation is scarce, because there is no decent water diversion project, the Yangtze River is not far away, but it is inevitable that drought will occur.

The problems of drainage and drinking water can be solved after the completion of the canal network envisioned by Li Hui, but such a project can not be completed in a year or two, and leveling the land may sound very simple, but if you calculate the amount of work required, it can also make the layman's jaw drop, if it were not for the realization of rural cooperatives and the availability of a large number of free labor, God knows how many years it would take to complete......

Note 1: In fact, everyone is trying to use chemical fertilizer conveniently in order to have enough farm fertilizer available, if all cultivated land does not use chemical fertilizer, then it can only meet half of the demand, this is still the Jianghuai area has river mud available, otherwise only about one-third. However, even if the fertility is sufficient, the absorption of farm fertilizer is slow after all, and the complete use of chemical fertilizers will still have a negative impact on the yield, so there is no doubt about the fertility of the land.

Note 2: Due to the siphon effect, when the surface is dry, the salt in the soil will follow the water upward to the surface, and then the water will evaporate and the salt will be retained, resulting in surface salinization. On the other hand, if the surface is moist (of course, it must be fresh water), it is possible to cure salinization by planting rice, provided that the conditions for growing rice are met, especially the supply of water, so it is far more difficult to control inland saline-alkali land with water shortage than in coastal areas with high rain.
