Seeing that the food in front of the two of them hadn't moved much, Li Xiaogang asked strangely, "What, aren't you hungry?" Liu Feng and Liu Ting looked at Li Xiaogang's inquiring eyes, and each stuck out their tongues embarrassedly, and then picked up their own breakfast and ate it slowly.

Table ...... Cousin, were you thinking about someone? Calling Li Xiaogang's cousin made Liu Feng a little unaccustomed.

Li Xiaogang smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I'm thinking about one of your senior sisters!" Hehe...... When I have the chance, I'll take you to meet her! She's going to love both of you. ”

Liu Feng nodded, but Liu Ting said with some surprise: "She likes us, but we don't necessarily like her." Li Xiaogang looked at Liu Ting in surprise, not knowing why she said this.

Liu Feng gently pushed Liu Ting, and whispered to blame: "Hey, what's wrong with you, people invite us to dinner, and you still put your eldest lady's shelf, just put it on the table, please don't talk nonsense, okay?" Liu Ting didn't know how she did it, and when she heard Li Xiaogang talk about other women, she felt a little uncomfortable.

simply pushed the food in front of him and said, "Forget it, your cousin said that he would invite us to a big meal at noon today, but I still keep my stomach and let him have more blood at noon!" ”

Liu Feng looked at Li Xiaogang embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, she's such a person!" It's like a nervous disorder, you don't want to be like her! ”

Li Xiaogang glanced at Liu Ting, who was glaring at Liu Feng angrily, and smiled: "It's nothing, she looks very interesting like this!" ”

Liu Tingxiu was stunned and said, "Interesting? Hum. By the time I slaughter you in the middle of the day, you won't find me interesting. ”

When Liu Feng finished eating, Li Xiaogang settled the bill, and the three of them walked out of the restaurant together.

Look at the time, it's almost time for class. Liu Feng said to Li Xiaogang apologetically: "We can't accompany you anymore, we have to go to class!" ”

Li Xiaogang smiled kindly and said, "It's okay, I also have some things to deal with, see you at noon!" ”

Liu Feng nodded, Liu Ting looked at Li Xiaogang coquettishly and said, "We are still waiting for your feast, if you dare to slip away alone." Then you're done, got it? ”

Li Xiaogang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Got it!" ”

After sending Liu Feng and Liu Ting to class, Li Xiaogang decided to go and see his homeroom teacher at that time and a few teachers who got along more happily.

The news that Li Xiaogang was going to give a lecture at Agricultural University had already spread among the teachers, especially since Li Xiaogang was personally recommended by Zhou Zongnan. It was even more surprising to everyone.

You must know that Zhou Zongnan has a very high prestige in the botany and agricultural circles, and he is also the honorary president of the Provincial Agricultural University.

This time Li Xiaogang was able to get such an 'honor', as a teacher who taught him, he naturally felt extremely glorious on his face, and when he saw Li Xiaogang, he was all smiling and enthusiastic.

But Li Xiaogang met Li Xiangshi, his counselor for four years in college. What I saw was a sad Li Xiang with a frown.

In the days when Li Xiaogang was studying, he had a deep impression of Li Xiang as a counselor! Be bold. is even more enthusiastic about students, often before people enter the classroom, they have heard his laughter in the corridor, in Li Xiaogang's memory of four years, Li Xiang's sad appearance is really rare.

Seeing Li Xiaogang, the former protégé returned to his alma mater today. Li Xiang was naturally very pleased.

tried his best to hide the sadness on his face and didn't let Li Xiaogang discover it.

But it was almost a pimple on his brow. How could he hide it from Li Xiaogang, after some greetings. Li Xiaogang got straight to the point and said: "Teacher, I found that you seem to have something on your mind!" Say it, and maybe I can help you with something. ”

Li Xiang looked at Li Xiaogang, sighed, and said slowly: "I'm embarrassed to mention this." Now the state is paying more and more attention to agricultural production, but the budget for agricultural colleges is decreasing year by year!

Especially when it comes to our profession, the annual funds issued by the state are even less pitiful! Your teacher is living a hard life now, and there is only one word in my head every day, and that is money! Hey, it's a burnt head buzzing when it comes to it. ”

Looking at Li Xiang, who was frowning, Li Xiaogang sighed: "A professor of an agricultural university can't do research with peace of mind every day, but he has to worry about money, what a big loss!" However, countries also have national difficulties.

Most of the budget countries are invested in the basic construction of rural areas and agricultural production, and increasing this part of the investment can only reduce the allocation to agricultural colleges, which is also a helpless move! ”

Li Xiang smiled bitterly: "It's not! So although the school is very difficult, from the principal to us, the department heads, no matter how hard it is, I have never moved the idea of opening my mouth to the top! Think about it, no matter how difficult it is for us to have those who can't afford to buy fertilizers, they can only watch the crop yield decrease; Are farmers who can't afford pesticides and have to let pests spoil their crops? ”

Li Xiaogang smiled and said, "Teacher Li, I found that you haven't changed at all!" At this time, I can still laugh. ”

Li Xiang said helplessly: "Actually, I should be crying at this time, but I think laughing is more comfortable than crying, so let's laugh!" Hehe......"

Li Xiaogang was a little moved in his heart, China has been a big agricultural country since ancient times, and agriculture has existed for thousands of years, but its development is extremely slow, and when the Americans only used two hundred years to let farmers spray pesticides in airplanes, Chinese farmers were still sweating like rain under the scorching sun with sprayers on their backs.

If it weren't for a group of scientists like Li Xiang who have dedicated their lives to agriculture, China's agriculture would still be slash-and-burn, which made Li Xiaogang shudder.

What is the most important thing for agriculture to develop? Not a scientist. It's money! Now there are a large number of scientists like Li Xiang in China, but they don't have enough money to support their research.

While American scientists continue to use dollars to create one advanced technology after another, Chinese scientists are always campaigning to get enough research funding.

While Chinese scientists are wasting a lot of time seeking funding, China's agricultural technology and the United States are further expanding. So everyone will stand up and accuse China's agricultural scientists of being incompetent, stupid, and waste! Is this fair?

"Hey!" With another long sigh, Li Xiang took out a stack of snow-white printer paper, which was densely filled with words and pictures of various crops.

Said slowly: "What a good subject these are, if there is enough financial support." It won't take long to produce results.

But now they can only be stranded again and again. ”

Li Xiaogang took the stack of printer paper from Li Xiang's hand, and with his solid professional foundation, he quickly saw the great value of these topics and the great impact they would have on Chinese agriculture, and even world agriculture.

Li Xiaogang's heart moved. He suddenly understood a little, why did Zhou Zongnan recommend himself to this lecture in the first place, is his real purpose for this? After flipping through a few pages, Li Xiaogang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Zhou Zongnan, the old man, was really well-intentioned.

Li Xiaogang shook his head and smiled slightly, already having a plan in his heart.

"Teacher Li! These are really good topics, and they can be said to be invaluable! Li Xiaogang said with a smile.

Li Xiang sighed helplessly and said, "Yes." Who's to say it isn't? But without enough funds, they end up just a pile of waste paper! ”

Li Xiaogang nodded and said, "How much research funding does the country give you every year?" ”

Li Xiang said lightly: "The political deputy allocates about 2 billion yuan a year for the research of agricultural technology, but there are too many projects that urgently need research funds. By the time it reaches each project, it's only a few million, and these millions are not enough to buy advanced equipment, let alone support expensive trials! It is even more unthinkable to go to space to conduct experiments at every turn like the Americans! ”

"Two billion? That's too little. Mr. Li, I have an idea, I don't know if it's okay? Li Xiaogang said softly.

"Oh? Tell me about it! Li Xiang's heart moved, and he urged with some expectation.

Li Xiaogang thought for a while and said, "I want to set up a special research institute for agricultural science and technology in my personal name, which you will preside over. Select suitable research topics with important significance across the country, and turn them from theory to productivity as much as possible! ”

Li Xiang was shocked after hearing this. said: "But this still needs strong financial support!" ”

Li Xiaogang continued: "After the establishment of this research institute, I will contribute 2 billion yuan every year as research funds. In addition, the technology you have researched can be patented, and the research institute can share 30% of the profits obtained from the patent! In this way, the more new results the research results will be, the more sufficient the research funds, and I think it will not be long before a research institute that shocks the world, has strong financial resources, and a strong team of scientists, will leave a brilliant mark in the history of world agriculture! ”

"II...... Billion!? Li Xiaogang, you can't be joking, right? Li Xiang was a little dumbfounded when he heard Li Xiaogang's plan! He knew that if Li Xiaogang could really set up such a research institute with two billion yuan, then the plan made by Li Xiaogang was not only not impossible, but also an inevitable trend!

As long as there is no need to worry about funding, Li Xiang firmly believes that Chinese agriculturists will never lose to American agriculturists!

Li Xiaogang laughed and said: "Teacher Li, you said that, it really makes me feel sad, you have taught me for four years, when have I ever deceived you?" Don't worry, I'm talking about it, and the two billion funds will soon reach your designated account! But you have to take action too, as you can gather the people! In my opinion, these projects are all good, it is better to start at the same time, if the funds are not enough, I can invest again, but if this scientist is not enough, I can't help it! Haha......"

Li Xiang squeezed the topics in his hand tightly, and his whole body began to tremble with excitement. said: "Don't worry! You, the student, did not disappoint me, and I, the teacher, will never let you down! ”
