Yang Yuanzhao gently opened the document, lowered his head and scanned it. The name of the title page of the document was very simple. He frowned slightly. What big rivers are there in Central and Southern Province? Do you want to build a canal to connect? Even if it is really important, does the Indochina Peninsula use a canal?

For the Indochina Peninsula, sea transportation is always much more convenient than river transportation. In addition, the few railways that have just been completed, in this sense, river transportation is effective, but not the most important. After all, in Southeast Asia, there is no deep-water channel that is rare in the world like the Yangtze River. Whether a canal is built or not is not much effective. As for irrigation and drought resistance, is the Indochina Peninsula at most a certain effect on floods. However, if it is really a big flood caused by a typhoon, the reservoir is useless at all. What Yang Yuanzhao has risen in his heart is whether he sees the water conservancy construction promoted by the central government and wants to get a share of the pie. This is not the best choice for the ruling person. This is a kind of speculation. Political speculation has always been what Yang Yuanzhao dislikes the most, especially at present, when the Chinese nation is facing the greatest opportunity in hundreds of years, this kind of speculation may ruin this opportunity.

The plan to promote the economy by Yang Yuanzhao was to promote the economy was previously the North-South Water Diversion. Now that the North-South Water Diversion has basically been completed, it has proposed a national water resource governance and water conservancy hub construction. At the National Seminar on Water Conservancy Construction, there have been discussions on the Indochina Peninsula, and even the major discussions on the entire Southeast Asia water conservancy construction have also been held. After all, water conservancy construction is aimed at the entire China, regardless of domestic or foreign countries. The reason why it has not been passed is not that the Indochina Peninsula is a new affiliated area, not a traditional Chinese region, but because it is not necessary. In the entire Southeast Asia, there are only a few water conservancy hubs.

The role of water conservancy is not only power generation and flood control and disaster relief, but also drought resistance, navigation, regional environmental governance and other factors. Southeast Asia is in the oceanic climate and cannot be said to be pleasant. It can be said to be good. One of the greatest effects of water conservancy hubs, the drought resistance effect is basically deducted. Southeast Asia will hardly be drought and flooding, but it is not common. In addition, there is not much difference between plains and the installed capacity of hydropower generation is relatively small. It can be said that except for a few places, other places have few opportunities to build water conservancy. Even if there is, the role it plays very limited.

********** will gradually popularize water conservancy construction, comprehensive utilization of water resources, and prevent waste. Southeast Asia is more about regional flood control and small-scale power generation. At present, these projects are given to the provincial level below, and will not be led by the state. These will wait until local finances are abundant and local finances will be built. At present, large-scale investments must be put aside.

The central government can only choose the most important direction and under the same choice, and will definitely choose the one with great effect and quick effect after investment. For example, the central and western regions have sufficient benefits for the environment, water conservancy, flood control and drought resistance, etc., to invest. With one aspect, flood control is not happening every year. Large-scale typhoons or extraordinary rainfall will occur. This is not something that a water conservancy hub can solve. In other cases, relying on the current infrastructure, most of the conditions will be avoided. No one will pass this proposal.

As the promoter of the farmland water conservancy plan and the special foundation established for this purpose, just like the early stage of North-South Water Diversion, Yang Yuanzhao first intervened and invested at least 90 billion yuan in this water conservancy foundation, involving almost most of the waters in China, most of which are above direct current and partial rivers, and have a huge impact on the region and basin. Some water conservancy hubs that are planned to start construction in two or three years have now started construction in advance. These are large-scale projects with great influence after demonstration, such as the main line water conservancy hubs of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

After determining these early water conservancy hubs, among some branch and remote water conservancy hubs, we must select the best among many plans, and comprehensively consider a series of situations such as power generation, flood control and disaster relief, drought resistance, and navigation.

Because of the relatively large workload, in the past few days, the Central Water Resources Bureau has dispatched a large number of personnel to be divided into at least 21 groups to evaluate and measure their respective projects. Local governments have also written countless reports. Those who are qualified to know this plan want to do everything possible to incorporate local plans into national-level plans, but very few are truly successful. Many projects are recognized. Only a few difficult-to-determined projects will use local plans and affect the central government's plans to a certain extent.

The second batch of projects are mainly small projects, such as small watershed hydropower stations in the southwest region and the main water conservancy hub of the Yarlung Zangbo River. It is impossible to go directly. The address requirements are too high, but some suitable places in the branch line can be built. The economy in the southwest is backward, and the plateaus and large amounts of mountainous land cannot carry large-scale industries. Even if China has the world's largest industrial strength, it is impossible to change the natural laws. China is too huge and there are too many suitable places. The southwest region reduces the population and moves people to more suitable places. As for its own mountainous areas, it is mainly about planting plants, protecting the environment, and occasionally developing tourism. These are the key to the development of the southwest western region.

In addition to the southwest region, some projects in the northern Heilongjiang and even in Siberia have entered the preliminary work, and these are not hidden. In Yang Yuanzhao's view, is it because the news has spread that Wang Rongmin has a new idea? The previous inspection of Wang Rongmin by the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, I think Wang Rongmin also knows whether he would take this opportunity to speculate and change the view of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Central Committee.

Yang Yuanzhao shook his head, he was slightly disappointed. If Wang Rongmin did this, then the previous inspection would be in vain. Even the current position of governor is not suitable for continuing. A provincial unit is a second-level unit below the country, and it is also extremely important. The development of a province depends entirely on the leader. The leaders use speculative methods, which is dangerous for the development of this province.

Yang Yuanzhao thought so in his heart, but he continued to read the documents. After all, Wang Rongmin was a person who had been in his plan. Even if he had quashed, he would have to finish reading it. He rejected a person with just one title. This was not what Yang Yuanzhao would do. In his impression, Wang Rongmin was not so superficial, and maybe there was another mystery in it.

Sure enough, when I opened the main text, I briefly introduced this plan on the second page. It was different from what he thought, the inland canal on the Indochina Peninsula. It was a canal, but it was a cross-sea canal, and a water conservancy hub connecting two oceans. On the mainland, it was a relatively suitable place. The excavation of canals connecting two oceans seemed to have become a popular one in the 19th century and many countries were looking for it. However, at present, there are only a few Suez Canal, Panama Canal, Kiel Canal, etc., and the Kra Canal is the same, which China and Yang Yuanzhao did not expect.

A canal across the sea saves the voyage. From this creativity alone, it reversed Yang Yuanzhao's idea. Being able to look at the problem from such a height, even if it is not worth investing, this overall vision has proved that Yang Yuanzhao's previous emphasis on Wang Rongmin was not wrong. There are several such international overall vision in China.

Next, Yang Yuanzhao started to look at the document a little slower, and it was more about scrutiny, but more about watching it seriously. He hoped to see the highlights from the middle. The ones below the document surprised him. Wang Rongmin's writing was very suitable for later writing methods, and they were all spoken of facts and data. Obviously, Wang Rongmin conducted a very profound investigation, and used detailed numbers, and the investigation in all aspects was quite in-depth. Even Yang Yuanzhao had to applaud, Wang Rongmin did a beautiful job. The most important thing is that all the data was to explain the benefits of the canal, such as how many ships could be attracted every year, saving less funds, and using this shipping, the benefits obtained.

This is a fresh proposal. Wang Rongmin actually had such an international vision, which was more or less beyond Yang Yuanzhao's expectations. Such a plan gave him a sense of familiarity and seemed to have seen it somewhere.

As the actual controller of China, Yang Yuanzhao has a very good memory. If someone had proposed this plan in this era, or even reached the level of the central government, it would have been an uproar. The entire China would have intervened. At present, China's shipping industry has become the largest merchant ship in the world, with tens of millions of tons. Every year, it transports huge materials to all parts of the world, and has harvested a lot of raw materials and money for China. It can be said that what is related to merchant ships will be paid attention to.

Whether it is saving merchant ship time or energy, this plan that saves 1,200 kilometers of voyage, with huge feasibility will definitely be sought after and even be built directly, because he saw an introduction in the middle. The investment of the entire canal is between US$120 million and US$180 million. This is a huge number that is difficult to invest for Central and Southern Province. However, for the central government, this is nothing. 90 billion has been invested in the construction of a new water conservancy hub, which is 45 billion in US dollars. A little bit of it is enough to complete the construction of the canal.

Yang Yuanzhao is sure that the thing he had heard of must have not been heard of in this era, so there was only one result, not in this era, but it should have been through time. He had heard of this plan at that place. He frowned, thought seriously, and searched hard in his memory. (To be continued.)
