After lunch, Li Songchen and Gao Jun said goodbye, Gao Jun still went back to prepare for the celebration of the conference, while Li Songchen came to the office of the Ministry of Agriculture to find the two vice ministers, Zeng Dong and Wang Sheng.

These two people have been managing construction matters on the construction site in the countryside with Li Songchen before, although they do not have the same enthusiasm as Li Songchen, and regard the grassroots work as their own tempering and foundation, but after all, before the crossing, they are all people in the system, although they are only small staff members, but they still understand the things in the system, and the hard work now is for the future development prospects, and they have been promoted from a small staff member in the old time and space to a deputy ministerial-level cadre in one fell swoop, faster than riding a rocket, of course the two will not give up easily。

Of course, when Li Songchen usually chatted with them, he also talked about it, although after the crossing, there are indeed more opportunities, but it is not that individuals can achieve achievements, and if they want to get ahead, it ultimately depends on their own efforts, and if they don't want to pay, there is absolutely no return. Therefore, although both of them felt that the work in the countryside was very difficult, they were able to persevere.

However, the rural areas also have their own offices in Gordon Hall, which cannot always be empty, and there are still many things to deal with in Tianjin, the organizational structure of the Ministry of Agriculture must be completed, and sometimes the executive committee needs to understand the progress of rural work, and there are important notices, which need to be kept in Tianjin to understand, so Li Songchen asked Zeng Dong and Wang Sheng to take turns to return to Tianjin to sit down. Originally, it was Zeng Dong's turn to be in Tianjin, but Wang Sheng had other things to deal with, and as a result, in the past few days, both of them left the countryside.

When Li Songchen came to the office of the Ministry of Agriculture, they happened to be both there, and when they saw Li Songchen coming, both of them hurriedly got up and said, "Minister Li." “

And Li Songchen didn't have much nonsense, and after sitting down, he said, "How did the things handed over to you go?"

Zeng Dong said: "The executive committee has already urged us once, let us report the organizational structure of the Ministry of Agriculture, the various responsible departments, and the list of staff to the Ministry of Personnel as soon as possible, and the Ministry of Personnel will review it." Before this meeting, be sure to send it up. ”

In fact, the organizational structure of the Ministry of Agriculture, the list of responsible departments and staff, Li Songchen and them have already discussed it, and this time they also want to do this by the way, so he said: "Okay, I just have something to go to the personnel department, and after we have a meeting, we will hand over the information." He turned to Wang Sheng and said, "What about the situation over there?"

Wang Shengdao: "The current situation is not very good, only a few people have signed up these days, and the engineering personnel who went back some time ago played a very bad role in the three passenger ro-ro ships, and simply described life on the construction site as hell, and some people had already signed up in the Ministry of Agriculture, and then withdrew." ”

Li Songchen frowned and said, "Forget it, ignore these people, how many are counted, if there is really no one willing to work in the countryside, just find it from the locals." ”

Wang Sheng said: "But there are also harvests, Minister Li is looking for agricultural technicians, and they have really found it, and they are still a big family, all of them are from the countryside, in the old time and space, they are running their own farms, among which there are several old people, all of whom are sixty or seventy years old, and the experience of farming alone adds up to more than two hundred years. ”

After hearing this, Li Songchen was also very happy, because it turned out that the basic construction of the rural areas had come to an end, and three villages would soon be able to move in residents, and the focus of rural work in the next step would be to establish a grassroots administrative system, distribute land, establish a taxation system, organize agricultural production, and so on. As for other things, Li Songchen mostly has some background, but only in terms of organizing agricultural production, Li Songchen has no score. This is because rural affairs are based on agricultural production, and if agricultural production is not done well, then nothing else can be done well. Therefore, it is also very important to improve agricultural production technology and increase the yield per acre.

However, after all, agricultural production is a very professional job, and the only thing Li Songchen has and experience in agricultural production is that he has participated in two farmhouse activities, and he is completely blind to farming. In the entire crossing group, although there are various advanced science and technology, there is not much technology in agricultural production. Of course, it is not impossible to find some information about agricultural technology from the vast resources of the group, but agricultural production is a very practical technology, and if there is not enough practical experience, no matter how advanced the information is, it is useless.

For example, many of the engineers were born in the countryside, but most of them left the countryside at a very early age and went to the city to work. Li Songchen had no choice but to send Wang Sheng to Dagukou, on the one hand, to recruit engineers, and on the other hand, to find out if there were any people who understood agricultural production and had actual farming experience.

Of course, Li Songchen didn't have much hope for this, and even made plans to slowly find it among the peasants if he really couldn't find anyone. But he didn't expect Wang Sheng to really find it, so Li Songchen was also very happy and said, "Tell me quickly, what is going on." ”

It turned out that the sixty or seventy-year-old people mentioned by Wang Sheng were the oldest people in the entire crossing group, and they were also the two largest families in the crossing group, and these two families were in-laws of each other, and the four generations of ancestors and grandchildren lived together, and the total population added up to a total of 33 people.

The old man of one of them is called Gao Shunxiang, 72 years old this year, and is the only person who is over 70 years old among the traversers, and it is estimated that he is also the oldest among the traversers in history, his wife is called Zhang Lanying, who is also 67 years old; the old man of the other family is called Liu Chenghe, 69 years old this year, ranking second in age among the traversers, and his wife's name is Zou Lanxiu, 65 years old this year, and Tang Songlin, the chief engineer of the new agricultural construction project, is the same year, but three months older, so if you sort by age, in the top five, these two occupy the top four.

Gao Shunxiang is almost the same age as China in the old time and space, born in the countryside, farming with his parents since he was a child, although he also enlisted in the army when he grew up, but most of the troops at that time had a farm for the army, so after enlisting in the army, he also did not stop farming, and the old man Gao Shunxiang completed high school knowledge by himself in the army, and also learned a lot of agricultural knowledge in the army's farm. After being discharged from the army, he did not change jobs in the city, but returned to the countryside and continued farming. In the countryside at that time, he was definitely a high-level intellectual.

Liu Cheng and the old man and the old man Gao Shunxiang are small, the two grew up in a village since they were children, bare butts and mud, get along like brothers, but Liu Cheng and the old man's family background is better, so the family has been for him to finish junior high school, and then admitted to the agricultural technical school to study, mastered a lot of agricultural theoretical knowledge.

After Gao Shunxiang returned to the village after being discharged from the army, he combined the practical knowledge he had learned in the army with Liu Chenghe's theoretical knowledge and applied it to the fields of the two of them, which greatly increased the yield per mu of his own family, which immediately caused a sensation in the whole village. However, the two did not hide their secrets, while teaching the villagers to cultivate the land, and on the other hand, they also continued to learn more advanced agricultural knowledge on their own.

In the 80s of the old time and space, China's rural areas implemented the household contract responsibility system, at this time Gao Shunxiang and Liu Chenghe both started a family, gave birth to children, the two were in the prime of life, full of enthusiasm, immediately jointly contracted more than 600 acres of land in the village, and took out loans to buy some agricultural machinery, fertilizers, and high-quality seeds. The two families worked hard together, and they got a bumper harvest that year, and after three years they paid off the loan, got rid of poverty and became rich, and became a typical advanced person in the village who worked hard to get rich, and the local newspapers reported their deeds, and later were elected as the captain of the village production brigade, and even served as a deputy to the second provincial people's congress.

At this time, the two old men are already in their prime, with a group of children, Gao Shunxiang has four sons and two daughters, Liu Cheng and the old man have two sons and one daughter, because the two families have been working together for a long time, so the relationship is like a family. Moreover, Gao Shunxiang's third son Gao Shizuo and second daughter Gao Caihong married Liu Cheng and the old man's daughter Liu Yingmei and the second son Liu Weizhong respectively, which can be regarded as a kiss and a kiss. In the third generation, Liu Cheng and Liu Kuohai, the eldest son of the old man's eldest son Liu Weizheng, and Han Ruolan, the eldest daughter of Gao Caixia, the eldest daughter of the old man Gao Shunxiang, also became a pair of lovers, so the relationship between the two families is naturally closer.

Now the two families have owned a large-scale comprehensive farm, with a total land area of more than 5,000 acres, planting not only grain, but also a large number of cash crops, in addition to a breeding farm, poultry and livestock are more than 1,000 heads, more than 60 employees, more than 20 sets of agricultural machinery, total assets of nearly 10 million yuan, and the formation of large-scale, industrialized production.

However, now the farm is run by Gao Shize, the eldest son of the old man Gao Shunxiang, Liu Cheng and the eldest son of the old man, Liu Weizheng, and although the four old people also cultivate it themselves, the court is more of an old man's spare time.

Although the two families run a large farm, not all of the children of the two families are engaged in agriculture for a living, of course, the two old people are also very open-minded, and do not interfere with their children's choice of employment. Gao Shijie, the second son of the old man Gao Shunxiang, is a geological engineer, and he was one of the leaders of the oil well engineering before the crossing, while Liu Chenghe's second son Liu Weizhong is a software engineer and the software supplier of the engineering information system this time, and is responsible for the software debugging of the entire project in the Middle East.

Since both of the family members work in the Middle East, the two families decided to take the opportunity to travel to the Middle East together, and as a result, the family traveled to this era en masse, and the family set a number of records in the history of travel.

Gao Shunxiang's second daughter-in-law, Fang Guizhi, was a teacher in the old time and space, and was the first in the family to find a job in the Crossing Group, serving as the vice principal of Hope School. And the others are naturally not willing to be lonely, this time Wang Sheng came to Dagukou to be an agricultural technician, which is the specialty of the two families, so Gao Shi immediately came to Wang Sheng and explained his own situation.
