Chapter 506 Chapter 506: Agricultural Technology

Aslan took out a list, which was his real purpose.

The information brought by Edison also made Aslan understand that the Maxim Chamber of Commerce's embarrassing position in the Ten-Party Alliance is now doing its best to stabilize the status and rule of the Ten-Party Alliance. The situation of the alliance management will completely collapse.

These are not allowed by Kira, so Kira will block here in advance.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven. Kira just took action, and the Kingdom of Cleveland also beat the dog in the water. This is the real reason why Kira is so urgent.

Regarding land, Aslan was not at all anxious. What he really needed urgently was population and various raw materials.

The commissioning of the 50-ton electric furnace brought the steel output of Mellow City to a new height, but after that, it was discovered that the iron ore could not meet the steelmaking consumption of the electric furnace.

It is no exaggeration to say that today's Mellow Iron and Steel Plant is on vacation for most of the day because of the lack of iron ore. This is also the reason why Aslan is eager to put the magic energy motor into production.

He must use the magic energy motor in the mine, use the magic energy motor to transport the iron ore to the ground, and add some sinking machinery and crushing machinery, etc. Although it seems simple, it can greatly improve the quality of the mine. s efficiency.

So the first thing on the list was iron ore, which came up to one million tons, which made Kira's mouth open.

The second item is flax and cotton, both of which are important raw materials for weaving cloth, also in millions of tons.

"Your Excellency, you are a lion." Kira put down the list and said straightforwardly.

Aslan said with a look of indifference: "You don't need to give it, and then we will drag it here together, and see who will lose the most."

In the past, Aslan still used to buy it, but now Aslan directly robbed it.

"Very well, I have written down this account." Kira picked up the list, took out a pen and began to tick it.

The quantity of iron ore and flax cotton was directly cut in half, and other materials were more or less reduced, but in the final population, Kira directly changed the population of 5 million requested by Aslan to 10 million.

"That's my bottom line."

Aslan glanced at the list, and finally at the population count, and couldn't help but smile smugly.

"Okay! Let's draw up a contract!"

On weekdays, let alone a population of 10 million, even a population of 1 million, Kira would not give it to Aslan.

In addition to the labor force, the population is also a stable source of taxation, but it is different now. There are locust plagues and droughts everywhere. Many lands have long been unable to be cultivated, and a large number of people flock to major cities.

In order to stabilize these refugees, relief food has to be distributed, but this is not a long-term solution. Sooner or later, it will cause riots. At that time, the Ten-Party Alliance will have to consume manpower and material resources to suppress them, which is even more worth the loss.

Today, more than 70% of the relief food distributed to these refugees is from the Maxim Chamber of Commerce, and Kira can't bear such expenditures. The population of 10 million is actually only one-third of the refugees. During the daily increase, he wanted to use this to stabilize the situation, and at the same time began to publicize the news that Melox Province was willing to accept a large number of refugees.

I hope that these refugees can be transferred to the province of Melox, so as to hold Aslan's attention. After all, so many refugees have passed, and it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to resettle them, which is enough to divert most of Aslan's attention. Force, by the way, put some eyeliner in, maybe you can get a surprise in the future.

Naturally, Aslan knew what Kira was planning. The most lacking thing in Melox province now was population.

Although more than 10 million people have been gathered back and forth in the past few years, these people are not enough to fill the entire Changfeng Plain, let alone the North Wind Prairie who just arrived.

After the production of chemical fertilizers, there is no longer a tradition of rotation farming in Melox Province. In the past, in order to maintain the fertility of the land, the fields were usually planted for one year and rested for one year, and some relatively barren land had to be left fallow for two years.

So it seems that farmers are responsible for a lot of land, but the output has not been able to keep up, not to mention that a lot of land is abandoned because it is far away from the river and it is too difficult to irrigate.

But there is no such problem for Melox province.

Because of the maximized use of the field area, many places are still undeveloped, especially the Changfeng Plain, which is a huge plain with a preliminary estimate of more than 60 million mu. However, a ten thousand farm can actually guarantee the number of fields to be reclaimed. It’s about tens of thousands of acres. It’s not that they don’t work hard, but that they invest in new agricultural technologies. While increasing the grain yield, farmers need to pay more attention to it. Unlike in the past, planting seeds and weeding occasionally is enough.

Every once in a while it is necessary to fertilize and eliminate insects. Every farmer inspects the field in charge every day and completes these things. Thank God for being able to work on five acres of land a day, let alone the days of just planting and transplanting and harvesting.

Harvesting one mu of wheat and threshing millet takes one day to complete.

With 50,000 mu of farmland, all tens of thousands of people on the entire farm will have to work for several days, not to mention sunning millet and so on. Therefore, after such a research and development, the number of farmlands that each person in the farm is responsible for is five acres of land.

Today, there are more than 760 farms in the Merlot region of Nuoda, of which 500 are half-orcs, more than 200 are ordinary people, and dozens of them are owned by foreigners in the Changfeng Plain.

The land that can be developed is only 38 million mu, which is less than two-thirds of the arable farmland in the Changfeng Plain, let alone the Melo area and the other three areas. , The other three areas have also increased more than 20 million arable land. Before the agricultural machinery is put into production, the population is the biggest guarantee for agriculture.

Of course, Kira also knows that Aslan is now vigorously developing agriculture. Among them, the overhaul of canals and rivers inspired Kira a lot, and he also started to build a pilot project in the Blair province of Duke Rumsfield. Some wonder where the continuous source of water in Melox province comes from.

Regarding food production capacity, Kira is not worried at all, because the Maxim Empire also has the back garden of the Asian East Subcontinent. During the harvest period, the food it produces is enough to supply one-tenth of the population of the mainland for a year. If When he solves Aslan's water source problem and fertilizer technology, he believes that Yadong City's food production can be doubled again.

As for the population, Aslan dared to accept it no matter how much it was. If he knew that Kira would advertise for them for free, he would be very grateful.
