Chapter 268: Food Commendation Conference

Zhang Xun paused, took a breath, and then walked into the hall with steady steps again.

The ministers inside have been waiting for a long time.

The leadership team headed by the prime minister and ministers was arranged in the order of official positions, and another group of about a dozen people were those who had returned.

After a busy year in the East, it naturally took a lot of difficulties, and now that I have successfully returned from my mission, it is really reasonable to commend you.

"See Your Majesty."

Seeing Zhang Xun come in, a group of ministers hurriedly paid homage, Zhang Xun smiled and waved his hand, and sat straight on the throne.

Without a microphone, I always feel a little less interesting, but fortunately, I can hear it clearly.

Zhang Xun coughed, and the audience was solemn.

Then he glanced at the waiter next to him again and whispered, "Let's start." ”

The commendation conference naturally has rules, Zhang Xun directly moved the set of processes he was familiar with, probably first summarized and described the great leap in grain production achieved in the past year, and used a lot of praise words, and then several ministers and parties came out to make brief speeches in turn.

There is nothing to describe in this process, it is all a process, but for Yingyang people, this kind of thing is very fresh after all, so it is a very serious matter, and everyone is quite relaxed.

Halfway through the process, the award ceremony officially begins.

"Now Baron Lewis is invited to the stage to accept the award!" The waiter announced in a loud voice.

Then the ministers immediately applauded enthusiastically, and the applause was thunderous, and a middle-aged gray-haired man with a red face stepped forward and came to the throne, closest to the king's position.

He was wearing a formal dress, full of energy, the only special thing was that there was a unique decoration on the upper body, which was a red base and a yellow slippery edge, worn diagonally on the upper body, the high side hung on the shoulders, and the low side hung down on the waist and hips on the other side, and this thing was also embroidered with big characters, probably written "National Grain Advanced Worker" This kind of words.

Baron Lewis was so excited that he bowed deeply to the king, and then saw the king stand up with a smile and step down from his throne, followed by a palace maid with a tray.

His Majesty walked up to the baron with a smile on his face, and in full view of everyone, he first reached out and took out from the tray a medallion with a delicate depiction of a rice sickle, and then personally pinned it to his chest under the terrified eyes of Baron Lewis.

"You deserve it." Zhang Xun said lightly.

The applause rang out like a tidal wave.

In this unique warm atmosphere, Zhang Xun stuffed a large and beautifully framed certificate in the tray into the baron's hand, which had been explained before, and the baron immediately excitedly held the certificate in front of his chest with both hands and rushed out.

On one side of the main hall, a court mage is standing next to a small photographic stone machine, carefully recording this precious historical image.

The scene of the harmony of the monarchs in the main hall.

Everyone, no matter what they really think, is happy in front of the camera.

The invention of the Lingering Shadow Stone can not only be used to develop movies and enrich the spiritual and civilized life of the people, but also that it can record many events as they are, so as to pass them on to future generations.

The next step is to take turns to present the awards.

Because it is the first commendation conference, in order to show encouragement, all the awards are awarded by Zhang Xun personally, according to the plan, there will be this kind of thing in the future, that is, it will be divided into levels, different degrees of contribution, and officials of different identities will be awarded.

After the award process was completed, Zhang Xun coughed lightly, picked up the speech, and began the king's important speech.

“…… In the past year, we have managed to achieve a huge leap in food production, which is also unique in the history of Eagle Flying. Through the united efforts of all of you, as well as the vigorous cooperation of various departments, such as research institutes, laboratories, production plants and other institutions, we have finally achieved this feat, and the grain output has achieved a huge increase of more than three times as in previous years, solving the grain supply problem that has plagued our country for many years, marking a new improvement in the comprehensive production capacity of Yingyang grain. It indicates that a long-term mechanism for the stable development of food is taking shape, and that there is a more solid foundation for national food security.

However, we must be soberly aware that after the tremendous leap forward has been made, the grain output technology is still insufficient, and there are also uncertainties in climatic factors, and it will be more difficult, more challenging, and more difficult to win next year's bumper grain harvest and increase peasants' income......

Therefore, we must put the development of grain production in a prominent position in Yingyang's economic and social development, further strengthen the construction of grain and agricultural infrastructure, continue to increase agricultural input, continue to improve the technical level, continue to increase the incentives for several peasants who produce grain and lease land, mobilize their enthusiasm for labor, feed back to Yingyang's native land, earnestly improve the living standards of the people of Yingyang, and ensure the long-term and stable development ......of grain production."

After Zhang Xun made the highest speech, the commendation conference also came to an end.

The ministers dispersed one by one, and the officials of the Publishing Bureau, who had been invited to attend, returned with a few retinue officials to study the news reports.

Yes, in this year, with the continuous maturity of printing technology, the publishing department continues to grow, Zhang Xun also put more burden on them, in addition to the official documents in the imperial court, the publication and distribution, in addition to the establishment of a new news department, in the pondering to make a newspaper out, but he is not concerned in this regard, the officials of the publishing bureau feel the stones to cross the river, stumbling, and now there are just some achievements, the editorial office finally has a look, and the newspaper issued has also been forced from the beginning to require state organs to subscribe to now, There are quite good sales in the royal capital range.

"Today's commendation meeting must be the front page headline tomorrow, you work hard tonight, step up typesetting, and it must be printed tomorrow morning!"

"Yes, my lord, I promise to complete the mission!"

……

When the congress ended, some officials stayed.

In the imperial garden, Zhang Xun talked with several important ministers accompanying him, including the prime minister and the minister of finance.

"Although it is said that there is a bumper harvest, but the problem still exists, in addition to what I said before, the most important thing is the contract, we signed a contract with the east border for only three years, three years later, if we fail to renew the contract, our grain will repeat the same mistakes again, the leased land, everything is empty!" Zhang Xun said seriously.

"Your Majesty, in this case, should we increase grain storage, although we can already be self-sufficient, but the minister suggested that we should take out some funds to buy some grain and fill the state-owned granary." A minister said.

The Chancellor's eyes immediately widened, a little annoyed.

However, after thinking about it, Zhang Xun felt that this suggestion was very reasonable, as the saying goes, there is food at home, and there is no panic in his heart, although he has a harmonious relationship with the east now, but there are some things that have to be guarded against.

"Your Majesty, another thing about pesticides and fertilizers, the new farming tools we used before have already been stolen and imitated by the rest of the kingdoms, there is no way, I really can't prevent it, but pesticides and fertilizers are not afraid of their imitation for the time being, and they also understand this, so people from several kingdoms have come to buy our formulas recently......"

Zhang Xun rolled his eyes and said, "Want to buy the formula?" Are they crazy? ”
