Chapter 312 The Agricultural to Industrial Transformation Plan and the Mahu Sea Access Project Plan

Zhu Jingyuan left two tractors, two trailers, and a complete set of supporting farm tools at No. 202 Farm.

Let the director of the farm be responsible for management and allocation, and at the same time, it can be used to verify the actual improvement in production efficiency.

During this winter wheat cultivation process, it was confirmed whether all the work could be completed by five households.

If it can be done, after this winter plowing is over, we will select five families to go to the city and work as workers in the tractor factory.

In the next few days, the management of Huangzhuang, which manages the outer city area, took action.

Pull out the tractors and farm tools trial-produced by the agricultural machinery factory and send them to other farms in the outer city for the same verification.

These farms are chosen to be relatively close to the edge.

For the farms near the edge of the inner city, Huangzhuang's plan is to directly transform them into factories.

Use their land to build factories and unify residential areas, and farmers on local farms directly become corresponding factory workers.

Whether this process can go smoothly and what kind of problems may arise, only time will tell.

However, there is a natural tendency to "possess" various relatively novel natural environments on the earth.

There are ten households in a farm in the Ming Dynasty, and they are responsible for cultivating one square kilometer of land, which is 1,500 acres.

The map is full of squares.

The core area of ​​​​Xintianfu is a large plain, and it is a land developed by immigrants.

“Gong Zheng went to the local garrison and consulted the local people about the details of the lake.

After dredging a deep-water channel of more than ten meters, seawater can flow into Lake Maracaibo more smoothly, which will definitely increase the salinity of the lake water.

But the problems caused by doing so are also obvious.

Zhu Jingyuan didn't feel much surprise after reading the telegram.

"If the channel is dredged directly, the influx of more seawater is likely to destroy this fresh water.

"If the flow of the lake water out to the sea remains unchanged, the speed of the lake water flowing outward will increase several times.

Regardless of whether they are pure Ming people or naturalized people, they must collectively swear allegiance to the Ming Emperor when receiving the certificate.

Zhu Jingyuan's natural choice was to refer to the general education examination plan implemented by Meng County.

"Then of course sea ships can sail directly into the interior of Ma Lake."

From now on, any public affairs handled by the imperial palace, the imperial court, and the vassal state will be based on the certificate.

"But in the small lagoon between Ma Lake and the bay outside, the sea channel inside is only four or five meters deep.

After hearing this, Zhu Jingyuan asked thoughtfully:

"So, the second option is actually equivalent to filling in the lagoon area, leaving only a narrow river channel?

At the same time, based on the experience accumulated so far, further improvements were made to this plan.

This may be regarded as some kind of special environmental protection mentality, but in fact it may be closer to a "collection addiction".

The first-level administrative district of Xintianfu is "Huangzhuang", which corresponds to the local chief envoy or vassal state.

Lake Maracaibo, a large freshwater lake connected to the sea, can be regarded as the only wonder in the world.

Zhu Jingyuan put down the telegram and asked Lin Zexu in a consulting and discussion tone:

“Or while dredging the channel, the sediment sucked out by the cutter is accumulated on both sides of the channel to form two artificial river banks.

So Zhu Jingyuan wrote down his ideas and gave them to Lin Zexu, who had already done it once.

"As long as the lake water is separated from the sea, the lagoon will slowly dry up on its own."

Let Lin Zexu coordinate with the shopkeepers of various imperial villages in Xintian Mansion to consider how to gradually advance the implementation.

However, Lin Zexu was not too surprised. Although there was no modern environmental trend in this era, the idea of ​​living in harmony with the environment originally existed in Chinese tradition.

Zhu Jingyuan instinctively wanted to keep it as it was and take it for himself.

"Instead of having extensive long-term contact with seawater in the lagoon, the lake water is hedged in a narrow channel?

"Convert the lake that was originally in direct contact with the seawater through the lagoon into an inland lake located upstream of the river."

“Dredging the channel originally involves cutting, sucking, and transporting the sediment, and then piling the sediment to the side to become a river embankment.

This is what Venezuela did in history, just to facilitate the transportation of oil abroad.

“The overall cross-sectional area of ​​the sea channel will be reduced several times compared to the original.

The water of the lake comes from the rain from the surrounding mountain topography, and the area where the lake is located actually does not receive much precipitation.

The third-level imperial village corresponds to the county, and the Xintianfu outer city area is a third-level imperial village.

In the process of industrialization, these mixed race and Yin people must be integrated, otherwise there will be problems after industrialization.

“But the local terrain environment is quite special, so how to transport the oil out is not a big problem.

"We can pile it up like this first and dredge out the river channel, and then we can decide whether to strengthen the river embankment based on the situation."

Zhu Jingyuan was the person in charge of Fuguo County in Xintianfu, and he actually directly managed the inner city and outer city areas.

Dredging the channel outward from Lake Maracaibo, turning the lake into a bay, and finally building a harbor in the freshwater lake.

There is a second-level imperial village under the imperial village, which corresponds to the local mansion.

The fourth-level imperial village corresponds to villages and towns. In addition to the blocks occupied by the inner city, the Xintianfu outer city area also has eight villages and towns.

"After such scouring and flowing for a long time, the salinity of the entire lake may continue to decrease."

The farms of the Ming people are usually closer to the core area of ​​Xintianfu, and all around Xintianfu City are the farms of the Ming people.

The Yin people are composed of forty families in four farms, responsible for cultivating so much land, each farm has 375 acres.

"Only open the locks when ships come in and out, so that seawater cannot flow into the lake during normal times. This is the simplest method.

The administrative divisions of Xintianfu are very "square".

However, the examination process for Ming people can be simpler, just let the person responsible for issuing certificates have a few words on the spot.

Then it affects the original ecosystem of the lake.

The mixed-race people are 20 families in two farms, responsible for cultivating the same land, each farm has 750 acres.

Lin Zexu thought about it for a moment:

“Then while dredging the waterway, we should make the entrance to the lagoon sand dam waterway closed and install a lock to control access.

"Mr. Lin, I remember that the area around Ma Lake is actually relatively arid, and the lake water is actually the source of fresh water around it.

That morning, Zhu Jingyuan stayed in Ciqing Palace and looked at a huge detailed map of the surrounding areas of Xintianfu.

"Although this river channel will be two to three times deeper than the original water channel, its width will also be reduced many times compared to the lagoon.

The third-level imperial village in the outer city of Xintianfu is the smallest, and it is also an imperial village without any wasteland at all.

"After discussion and consideration with other craftsmen, Zheng Gong suggested dredging a channel from Ma Lake directly to the sea.

The scale of farming and fishing farms is smaller, while the scale of animal husbandry and forestry is larger.

“The water at the entrance of Ma Lake is more than ten meters deep, and the water inside the lake is basically more than twenty meters deep.

There are no pre-existing district boundaries to inherit.

The surrounding environment is also very special. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on one side. It is also a semi-enclosed bay. This area is highly independent.

The closer to the core area, the less wasteland, and the closer to the edge area, the more wasteland.

After Zhu Jingyuan finished writing down his ideas, he was going to ask An Xiaona to call Lin Zexu and Niu Jian for a meeting.

Farms near early developed areas were smaller, while those near borders and undeveloped areas were larger.

It is necessary to prevent the certificate itself from becoming a "remaining physical evidence" of "naturalization" and to avoid the association of the certificate with "originally a foreigner".

Zhu Jingyuan's environmental awareness is not high, mainly because he doesn't care about emissions issues or climate warming.

Not all farms are engaged in farming, but also engaged in animal husbandry, orchards and logging, aquatic fishing and breeding, etc.

However, this idea cannot be completed overnight. It may take a generation to complete.

In order to facilitate management, most of the middle and low-level administrative districts are divided into squares.

Below the fourth-level imperial village is the "village", and below the village is the farm.

“It is this small, shallow lagoon that prevents ships from entering Ma Lake, so we can only use small flat-bottomed boats.

This was a natural arrangement in the past, and the status quo is bound to change.

"Gong Zheng said that the oil in Ma Town (Maracaibo) has begun to be able to sustainably produce.

"So is there a way to allow ships to enter Ma Lake directly without affecting the salinity of the lake water?"

"In this way, Mahu Lake will become a closed bay, and many places around it are suitable for the construction of deep-water ports.

Your ethnicity will not be shown on the certificate, and everyone with a certificate will enjoy citizenship treatment.

As a result, Lin Zexu happened to come over on his own, holding a telegram from Zheng Fuguang.
