On the fifth day of the first lunar month, at 6:30 in the morning, Liao Fanmin got on a flight to Beijing.

Professor Tan's resolute and resolute action was something Liao Fanmin did not expect, he received Tan Yuanhua's first call at half past seven o'clock last night, and the second call at ten o'clock, Professor Tan had already arranged to meet at the East Campus of Agricultural University, and the time was decided by Liao Fanmin, who did not hesitate at all, and decided to rush to Beijing early the next morning.

At 9:10 a.m., the plane landed at Beijing Airport.

Liao Fanmin chose to take the airport bus to the city, and then take a taxi to the East Campus of Agricultural University.

At a quarter past eleven, Liao Fanmin got out of the taxi and looked up to see the gate of the Agricultural University.

There was an old man standing at the school gate, and Tan Yuanhua was standing next to the old man.

Needless to say, the old man is Tan Yuanhua's father, Professor Tan.

"Hello Professor Tan, I'm Liao Fanmin. ”

Liao Fanmin walked forward quickly, put down the briefcase in his hand, and stretched out his hands to shake hands with Professor Tan.

"You look so young, if it weren't for the materials you wrote, I wouldn't have believed that you were the mayor of Linfeng City. ”

"Professor Tan, I have just taken office, I used to work in the province, I don't have much experience in grassroots work, and I am not particularly familiar with agriculture. ”

"Okay, okay, this idea is very good, you are so young, you have such a long-term idea, I admire it, Yuanhua, you have to learn more from Mayor Liao." ”

It wasn't until this time that Liao Fanmin shook hands with Tan Yuanhua.

Professor Tan took Liao Fanmin and Tan Yuanhua and walked towards the Agricultural University.

A familiar breath came to his face, although it has been seven years since he graduated, Liao Fanmin is still very familiar with the university campus, there is a special atmosphere on the campus, quiet, natural and harmonious.

Before he knew it, Professor Tan stopped in front of a building.

"Mayor Liao, I will take you to the fruit and vegetable processing laboratory and the animal nutrition laboratory, I think there are things you need inside. ”

Liao Fanmin nodded, a little apprehensive in his heart.

In fact, Liao Fanyao's words still have an impact on Liao Fanmin, he did think that China Agricultural University, as the highest university in agriculture in the country, must be the direction of its research in high-end agricultural theory, and will not pay too much attention to agricultural practice.

Those who really go down to the grassroots level and go to the rural areas to engage in specific agricultural technology should be graduates of agricultural colleges.

If the things introduced by Professor Tan are too high-end, they will not have much effect on Linfeng City, and Liao Fanmin does not plan to really learn high-end knowledge in agriculture.

In the fruit and vegetable processing laboratory, there are all kinds of vegetables and fruits, some are common, and some Liao Fanmin has never seen.

Professor Tan told Liao Fanmin that if he came here during the school year, he would be able to see the process of intensive processing of fruits and vegetables, as well as a lot of theoretical analysis data.

When you go to the animal nutrition laboratory next door, you can see even live pigs, goats, rabbits and other poultry, but the laboratory is clean and you don't smell any bad smells.

When he walked out of the laboratory, Liao Fanmin was indeed a little disappointed, he made a special trip to Beijing, to visit Professor Tan at the Agricultural University, not to see these fruits, vegetables and poultry.

When I walked out of the laboratory, it was already past twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

Before Liao Fanmin could speak, Professor Tan spoke.

"Mayor Liao, I know that you are very busy and it is impossible for you to stay in Beijing for a long time, so I have also specially arranged to go to the house for dinner at noon, and during the meal, we will discuss the development of breeding and planting in Linfeng City, so that you can go to the laboratory to see, mainly to feel, the plan you proposed, planting grapes, vegetables, Flowers and feeding pigs, etc., are all practical aspects of agronomy, there are no such courses in the university, and the agricultural university will not specialize in these aspects, because these are the most basic things, such as feeding pigs, the common people will, what the agricultural university needs to do, is how to improve the breed of pigs, and how to improve the quality of the pig breed, whether it is suitable for promotion, etc. ”

Liao Fanmin nodded, and never spoke.

"Mayor Liao, what do you think, tell me about it. ”

"After listening to Professor Tan's words, I still feel very deeply, I used to think that agriculture is to grow good land, produce more grain and vegetables, develop more poultry, etc., but now I understand, my vision is still too narrow. ”

"Hehe, Mayor Liao, your vision is not narrow at all, just pointed out the biggest weak link in the current agricultural university, graduates of agricultural university, indulged in theory, some college students can not distinguish the difference between rice and grass after graduation, do not know how to grow food, but also do not know how to raise poultry, what kind of graduates of agricultural university, said out and threw into the ugliness of agricultural university, these years I have to go to the grassroots level to investigate, often take some graduate students to see, in fact, I want them to get close contact with practical agriculture, do not always indulge in theory。 ”

Liao Fanmin couldn't help but turn his head and look at Professor Tan.

"Professor Tan, you really said the key place, in fact, what Linfeng City needs is the practice of agricultural technical personnel, to be honest, the economic conditions of Linfeng City are not good, the township agricultural technology station and agricultural machinery station exist in name only, capable agricultural technicians are looking for their own things to do, all to make money, otherwise they can not feed their families, my plan is to integrate the township agricultural technicians, improve their ability, so that they can really contribute to the agricultural development of Linfeng City. ”

"In fact, farmers still need agricultural knowledge, just say that this feeds pigs, I think there is knowledge, some farmers can feed about 200 catties of pigs a year, some can only feed 100 catties, and the way of feeding is very unscientific, last year the Municipal Animal Husbandry Bureau did statistics, because the number of pigs that died of disease reached more than 1,000 heads, farmers can not afford such losses. ”

。。。

When Liao Fanmin spoke, Professor Tan listened very carefully.

"Mayor Liao, you really understand the agricultural situation of Linfeng City, really want to do things for the farmers of Linfeng City, I think the agricultural development plan you put forward is completely feasible, I have a few friends in fruit and vegetable planting, pig feeding and intensive processing, when the time comes, I can introduce them to Linfeng City, let them go to Linfeng City to see. ”

"Thank you very much, on behalf of the farmers in Linfeng City, thank you. ”

"Don't say that, you attach importance to agriculture, vigorously develop agriculture in Linfeng City, have made an effect, and can also bring honor to Agricultural University, I have considered it, after the start of school, about May, I will take a part of the graduate and undergraduate students to Linfeng City to see, in the second half of October, to Linfeng City again. ”

"Okay, warm welcome, Professor Tan, you and everyone will pay for the journey, which will be borne by the city government. ”

"This is feasible, I don't have much scientific research funds in my hand, I can save a little is a little, by the way, you plan to develop grapes, vegetables and flowers in Linfeng City, I read the information you provided about the topography of Linfeng City, and also searched on the Internet, suitable for the grapes, vegetables, Flowers, and several other fruits, I and listed, my suggestion is that the fruit is not only to promote grape planting, but also to plant mandarin oranges, the climatic conditions of Linfeng City, suitable for planting mandarin oranges, as for the planting of medicinal materials, I am not very optimistic, the technical requirements for the cultivation of medicinal materials are slightly higher, the cost of investment is not small, let farmers to plant, take a greater risk, as for the biopharmaceutical factory, with all due respect, Mayor Liao, even if you have a great ability, it is unlikely to introduce this kind of enterprise, because the requirements of the biopharmaceutical factory are too high。 ”

Looking at Professor Tan, Liao Fanmin was speechless.

This is a scholar who really cares about agriculture, and although he is engaged in the research of high-end agricultural theories at the Agricultural University, he always thinks about grassroots agriculture and practical agricultural technology.

Professor Tan's home furnishings are very ordinary, and there are a lot of books in the study.

There are several books on the desk, as well as a stack of handwritten materials.

These books and materials are specially prepared by Professor Tan for Liao Fanmin.

After getting these books and materials, Liao Fanmin was like a treasure, which was something he urgently needed.

The first time he came to the door, of course Liao Fanmin would not be empty-handed, he also brought local products from Jianghan Province, such as wild boar, bacon and the like, as well as some local agricultural products, these things, Professor Tan handed over his name one by one, and constantly praised the quality of these special agricultural products, which is difficult to buy even if it costs money in Beijing.

Liao Fanmin was amazed by Professor Tan's insight and erudition.

The afternoon passed imperceptibly.

Professor Tan left Liao Fanmin for dinner and drank some wine.

At six o'clock, Liao Fanmin said goodbye, went out to take a taxi, and went to the train station, he had already bought a train ticket to return to Nanhua City in the evening, and the Spring Festival holiday was about to end, Liao Fanmin really did not have time to stay in Beijing.

At ten o'clock the next morning, Liao Fanmin returned home.

After taking a bath, Shen Yaling had already prepared luggage and clothes for Liao Fanmin.

I don't know if there is an induction, when Liao Fanmin left, Liao Yuanhao was always crying, when Liao Fanmin put down the suitcase, Liao Yuanhao stopped crying, and when there was no way, Xu Wenqing had to go out with Liao Yuanhao.

When he walked to the desert prince off-road vehicle, Liao Fanmin's mood was still a little complicated, and he fully realized that it was really difficult to balance work and family.
