"It's fine." Bao Feiyang waved his hand at Zheng Yuqiong and said: "Teacher Zheng, don't think too much, you only need to objectively evaluate the quality of wheat seeds this time, you don't need to worry about other things, as long as you don't favor Daxia Agricultural Development Company, other things are easy to do, I will come to find a way." ”

Zheng Yuqiong hurriedly said loudly: "Director Bao, please put ten thousand hearts at this point, we still have this conscience as teachers, even if we can't speak, we will definitely not reverse black and white." ”

"That's good." Bao Feiyang smiled and nodded, maybe Zheng Yuqiong still has such persistence, and if you push it back ten or twenty years, it is really difficult to find people who can adhere to this kind of conscience in society, and many so-called experts and scholars in later generations dare to say anything for their own interests, and they will not take into account the interests of the people at all.

After Zheng Yuqiong and Wu Chao drove to Jiangbei Provincial Agricultural University, Bao Feiyang drove to the Jiangbei Provincial Department of Agriculture, through Guò Chen Yucheng's matchmaking, Gao Anxiang, deputy director of the Provincial Department of Agriculture, arranged for someone to help him find out the details of the promotion and disaster of Qiangmai No. 5 in the province, Liu Chenghua, deputy director of the Planting Department of the Department of Agriculture, said to Bao Feiyang: "The promotion of Qiangmai No. 5 in Jiangbei Province is not long, the earliest is three years ago, and the large-scale spread is a matter of two years in recent years. Almost every year, there is a situation of failure because of leaf rust, but on the whole, there is no large-scale failure of harvest, this year's large-scale harvest in Haizhou City has not appeared before, before this incident occurred in Haizhou City, the most serious situation was that last year, about 1,000 acres of wheat land in Jingcheng City were infected by leaf rust and there was a reduction in yield, and the yield reduction was about 30 percent. ”

Bao Feiyang nodded silently, the number of Jiangbei Provincial Department of Agriculture is more detailed, and the planting situation of relatively new varieties is recorded in detail, and the planting area of Qiangmai No. 5, a product newly developed in recent years, has been summarized and sorted out in the information summarized and sorted out by the Department of Agriculture. However, most of these statistics are summarized below. Although it can be used as a reference number, the accuracy may not be so high. In particular, according to the traditional tradition in China, it is often customary to report good news and not bad news, of course, striving for compensation is the exception, so Bao Feiyang is not clear whether these disaster numbers are exaggerated or reduced.

But just by these numbers jù. At least one conclusion can be drawn, that is, Qiangmai No. 5 does have the problem of low resistance and frequent occurrence of leaf rust, and it is not as good as Zhang Zhijun, the department manager of the Daxia Agricultural Development Company who received them, said that the quality is very good, and there are no problems at all.

"Liu, from what we know, Qiangmai No. 5 has the highest resistance to leaf rust at grade 9, which means that once the disease occurs, there may be a failure of the harvest. Although it is true that the yield of Qiangmai 5 can be increased by 10 to 20 percent in a normal year, it will not be affected once it is damaged. That is, the harvest is out, and the teacher of Haizhou Agricultural School believes that from the perspective of stable production, such a variety does not seem to be suitable for large-scale promotion? Bao Feiyang asked.

Liu Chenghua pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "There is indeed such a concern, but first, the frequency of wheat leaf rust in Jiangbei Province is not high, and it does not belong to the scope of inapplicable planting; Second, the highest resistance level of nine does not mean that there is no resistance, since the average resistance of this variety has reached level five. That is roughly in line with the planting requirements of Jiangbei, after all, leaf rust is not high in our province. Based on these considerations. In addition, Qiangmai No. 5 has also been reviewed by the relevant departments of the Ministry of Agriculture, and we have no reason not to let it enter Jiangbei, but the Jiangbei Provincial Department of Agriculture and the Jiangbei Provincial Agricultural Technology Department did not include this variety in the recommended catalog, which is also based on the consideration of this hidden danger and shortcomings, as for the market behavior of enterprises and the independent choice of farmers, we can not intervene excessively. ”

Bao Feiyang nodded. I agree with Liu Chenghua's statement. Of course, there are some things that Liu Chenghua will not say so thoroughly. Chinese officialdom has always been obscure, and many things need to be carefully understood in and out of the words.

The pursuit of the average yield of crops per mu has always been the main goal pursued in China in terms of grain production. The higher-level leadership department values this yield index per mu, and the following naturally pursues this index, in order to add points to their own leaders with better results. Therefore, those experts engaged in agricultural high-tech science and technology will also devote more energy to how to improve the yield index per mu, and constantly develop new crop varieties, so that there is a market for demand. Of course, the reason for this phenomenon is also based on China's large population, so although China's territory is vast, the per capita cultivated land area is correspondingly small, which is an inevitable choice from the perspective of food security.

Generally speaking, agricultural scientists engaged in R&D need to consider the cultivation and selection of food crops from the aspects of quality, yield and resistance. In the case of the same other indicators that need to be considered, the higher the output, the better, but it is particularly important to note that at the same time as high yield, stable yield is also very important, otherwise the increase formed by the accumulation of high yield in several years will not be worth the loss of a year's harvest.

The resistance of these newly cultivated and developed food crop varieties to pests and diseases and weather factors is an important indicator of stable yield, which is like a child with high body quality, resistance and immunity are relatively strong, so it is not easy to get sick, can maintain a healthy physical state and grow up well, grow up, and will not die of illness due to the influence of some adverse factors in the outside world. Similarly, in the field of agriculture, only high resistance can ensure that food crops can face the test of climate and environment, and will not be lightly affected, and even if they are affected, the situation will not be particularly severe, and the loss of yield will not be so large.

In addition, in addition to yield indicators in the research and development and cultivation of crops, quality indicators are also very important, such as the super hybrid rice developed by famous agricultural scientists in China has made great contributions to improving domestic grain production, and even in foreign countries in the United States, Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam, India have carried out a certain area of trial planting, and also achieved a very good yield increase effect.

However, on the other hand, some high-yielding hybrid rice does not taste very good when eating, and in some more mature agricultural systems, in addition to the pursuit of yield indicators, the taste, fiber content, sugar and other nutrient content indicators of crops are also very important. Therefore, in the end, many countries gave up on introducing super rice from China.

Of course, for the current domestic agricultural system, it is not yet the time to generally pursue quality, but even if it is only considered from the perspective of yield, it is not too much pursuit of other indicators such as taste and nutrition, and the importance of stable yield is no worse than that of high yield.

However, in recent years, a very common phenomenon in the domestic breeding technology of improved varieties is that it blindly focuses on high yields. Because the index of high yield is more obvious, it is easier to get support, it is easier to get the affirmation and appreciation of the leadership, and the achievements of technological achievements are obtained, so that the workers engaged in agricultural science and technology research and development can get honor and benefits. If there are two projects for the development of new varieties of crops, one of them can increase the yield of food by 10 percent, but on the other hand, the resistance index of the new crop varieties bred will decrease slightly, and the other project will not increase the grain production, but it can improve the resistance to pests and diseases. Unless it is a very common pest and disease, the previous project must be more valued by the relevant departments, and it is easier to apply for project research funds and obtain scientific research honors.

In such a situation, the choice of agricultural scientists is very clear, even if some people want to improve the indicators of new crop varieties out of a professional and conscientious attitude. I will still engage in resistance research, but also because of the lack of support in terms of project research funds and policies. The results achieved by the guide zhì are less and not obvious enough.

The impact of this factor on the relevant government departments is the same, the increase in grain output is a hard indicator for the government and officials, and it is also one of the specific evaluation indicators for the performance of local officials. Therefore, for a new crop variety like Qiangmai No. 5, which is risky but can indeed improve the normal year, the local counterparts will naturally not stop it.

This means that a grain variety like Qiangmai No. 5, which obviously has shortcomings, will be approved at the time of evaluation and put on the local market.

Liu Chenghua looked at Bao Feiyang, even if his boss, Deputy Director Gao Anxiang, did not give him a special explanation in private. He also knew that this young man was the youngest local leader at the department level in the province. The 25-year-old department level is rare even in the provincial party committee and provincial government organs where there are many department-level officials, and it is probably only found in organizations such as the Communist Youth League and provincial party committees, but there are even fewer department-level leaders like Bao Feiyang who can serve as the top leaders in the local area.

The local top leaders at the county and department level are the county magistrates, county party committee secretaries, district heads, and district party committee secretaries, and if they want to take charge of the work of a district or county, they will not be able to control the situation at all without a certain amount of experience.

Liu Chenghua knew that Wang Hongfeng, the leader of the Jiangbei Provincial Party Committee, attached great importance to Bao Feiyang, and had set up a model model in the whole Jiangbei Province, and called on the majority of leading cadres to learn from Bao Feiyang's Wanghai experience and learn how to use innovative and advanced ideas and models to drive local economic development. As a member of the officialdom of Jiangbei Province, he has already heard of this, and how could he not know that Wang Hongfeng, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, appreciates and respects Bao Feiyang.

He lowered his head and thought about it and said, "In the afternoon, I specifically learned that most of the things handled by the Daxia Agricultural Development Company in the past were solved privately, and some compensation was appropriately made. Of course, the standard of compensation is very low, and it is often a small amount of money that was paid for the seeds in the first place......"

Bao Feiyang couldn't help sneering twice: "Then it's really better not to pay." ”

Liu Chenghua shook his head and said to Bao Feiyang helplessly: "The situation is probably like this, to be honest, if you really want to go to court, there will be no result, and in the end, it is more likely to be mediated, after all, all the relevant procedures and procedures of Daxia Agricultural Development Company are complete, and it is difficult to say that there is anything illegal in this matter." ”

Liu Chenghua looked at Bao Feiyang and said, "We can only say hello in the Department of Agriculture, as for what Daxia Agricultural Development Company will do, what will it do." There are not many ways in the hall, after all, they are large central enterprises, and they are supported by the State Administration of Agriculture. ”

In the evening, Bao Feiyang invited Liu Chenghua to have dinner together, and at the dinner table, Liu Chenghua told Bao Feiyang some inside stories of the agricultural system, which further corroborated some of Bao Feiyang's previous ideas.

According to Liu Chenghua. If Bao Feiyang wants to go to court with the Daxia Agricultural Development Company, his opponents will not only be the Daxia Agricultural Development Company, but also the entire agricultural research system, such as the General Administration of Agriculture and the Huaxia Academy of Agricultural Sciences, which provides them with new crop varieties developed and cultivated.

"Even so, there are still some things that have to be done." Bao Feiyang said firmly, and did not flinch from what Liu Chenghua said.

****************************************

When he returned to the provincial office in the evening, Bao Feiyang found that Xue Shaohua, who was staying in the same hotel with him, had not come back, probably things were not going well, and he was still busy outside, Xue Shaohua was also a person who worked hard.

The Haizhou Municipal Office in Jiangbei Province also operates a hotel in the provincial capital. People in Haizhou City come to Fenghu, the provincial capital for business, usually can stay here, this is also to facilitate Haizhou's official work, of course, in addition to the city has a certain level of leadership, everyone else has to settle accounts with their units, and the hotel will also be open to the outside world to increase part of the income, after all, maintaining a hotel also requires cost and labor. It is definitely not enough to rely on the official consumption of people from Haizhou City who come to Fenghu on business trips and errands.

Zheng Yuqiong and Wu Chao separated from Bao Feiyang and went to visit the teacher of Jiangbei Agricultural University. He hasn't come back yet, after Bao Feiyang stayed in the hotel, he made a call to Meng Shuang, the two are usually very busy with work, and it is rare to see each other when they get together less, but they have to talk on the phone almost every night. Talk about the day's work and mood.

Hearing Bao Feiyang talk about the situation of Daxia Agricultural Development Company, Meng Shuang was also very indignant: "It's really too unusual, Daxia Agricultural Development Company is such a big company, or a dignified central enterprise, how can it be so irresponsible?" ”

Meng Shuang is now a senior executive of Fangxia Ceramics Group. I don't usually have many opportunities to come into contact with farmers, but she was born in an ordinary family, and she has many relatives in the countryside, so she knows the situation in the countryside and knows the impact of losing a crop on farmers.

Bao Feiyang heard someone talking on Meng Shuang's side, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "Shuang'er, who was talking just now, and there was someone on your side?" ”

Meng Shuang smiled and said, "Yes, guess who it is?" ”

Bao Feiyang heard someone laughing over there, and a beautiful and graceful figure suddenly appeared in front of him: "It can't be Liping, she came back from Africa?" ”

"Oops, it's really boring, this guy is still the same as before, always so cunning." A crisp and delicate voice rang on the phone.

Meng Shuang smiled: "Oh my God, Feiyang, will you pinch your fingers, how can you guess so accurately, what you said is not wrong, it is really Liping who came back from Africa, because she was going to transfer back to the capital from Xingang, so she stopped at Xingang to see me by the way, Feiyang, you don't know, she is amazing now, she scares you a lot when she says it, she has been promoted to the deputy editor-in-chief of their economic news, and she will be the editor-in-chief in the future, such a young editor-in-chief, tsk." ”

Bao Feiyang doesn't know the organizational system of Huaxia Youth Daily, Meng Shuang's statement is not necessarily accurate, and the deputy editor-in-chief of Economic News is probably not the real editor-in-chief, but Zhao Liping is younger than him, and it is commendable that she can achieve this position at her age.

What's more, Zhao Liping did this step completely by her own ability, without relying on any external forces and background, in the newspaper, Zhao Liping was very low-key, and did not reveal her true identity to others, many people do not know that her grandfather is the famous Zhao Lao, and her father is Zhao Genzheng, a member of the Government Council.

Of course, there must still be people in the newspaper who understand, such as cadres engaged in personnel work, or senior leaders of the newspaper, but it cannot be said that they really have no influence at all.

"Hey, Bao Feiyang, you're still so cunning, I'll go to Fenghu with Sister Meng tomorrow to find you, okay?" Zhao Liping's clear voice sounded on the phone, and it seemed that Zhao Liping had already run over from the side after hearing the phone call between Meng Shuang and Bao Feiyang, and completely took over Meng Shuang's phone.

Bao Feiyang hurriedly smiled and said heartily and enthusiastically: "Okay, I'm warmly welcomed, I'm looking forward to it!" ”

"Hmph, you're waiting for Meng Shuang, not me." Zhao Liping said coquettishly.

When Bao Feiyang and Meng Shuang confirmed their relationship, Zhao Liping realized that she had an unusual "good feeling" for Bao Feiyang, and she was worried that if she contacted Bao Feiyang again, this relationship would grow stronger and stronger with the accumulation of time, growing from a young bud to a towering tree, occupying her entire heart.
