Affordability, and for the people, real affordability is what they care about.

seems to be a simple and superficial truth, no one has ever said it to Zhu Yijun, at least not such a superficial word.

Listening to these simple words, Zhu Yijun was silent for a while before asking.

"Then how can we make the people of the world benefit?"

"There are many ways."

Shi Yiwen said with a smile.

"And the difference is also very big, how in the court, I don't know, but it is not difficult to let the people really get some benefits, just like now in the north to promote the planting of cotton, you can benefit thousands of households, and now Zhuangzi has also bred the introduction of good cotton from abroad, the yield per mu is almost double that of ordinary cotton, so it is more beneficial to the people, and I also have higher yield corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cotton, unlike cotton, they are all edible food, As long as I wait until the future when they have bred enough, I dare not say anything else, with these three things, at least the world will never go hungry again! ”

So that people in the world will never go hungry again!

The seemingly casual sentence made Zhu Yijun look at him and ask in surprise.

"Is that really possible?"

"Absolutely!"

Not to mention the high-yield corn and potatoes in the Space Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Research Institute, that is, sweet potatoes, are enough to feed the people of the world and allow the people to survive the cold Xiaoice River period in the future, after all, in another time and space, sweet potatoes, as miscellaneous grains, once became the staple food of the northern people, feeding hundreds of millions of people.

After answering directly, Shi Yiwen said to Zhu Yijun again.

"But the key is still the promotion of improved varieties, and if good varieties cannot be promoted, everything is empty talk."

Historically, the spread of sweet potatoes across the country was an extremely slow process, and it was not until the mid-18th century that they were widely cultivated throughout the country, becoming the first miscellaneous grain and even the main food ration for the vast majority of ordinary people, after all, it was more productive than other crops.

"But now that I've figured out a solution, I think I can almost get them out there in a few years at most."

"Oh?"

Zhu Yijun looked at Shi Yiwen curiously.

"How? Could it be more effective than government promotion? ”

"Mingzhi, sometimes, the government may not be able to do everything, besides, there are some things that the government may force to promote may also backfire, this matter, sometimes, has to be left to the people to choose!"

After that, Shi Yiwen pretended to smile mysteriously, and then stopped talking.

……

That is, when the people of Beijing began to prepare for winter coal, the cotton in the suburbs of Beijing also got the harvest season, on the vast fields on the outskirts of Beijing. The harvest of cotton is like snow, and it is very gratifying to look at.

Regardless of men, women and children, have come to the field, picking cotton, compared with previous years, this year's suburbs of Beijing planted more than 100,000 acres of cotton, at this time everyone in the field is beaming, they are picking cotton, always there to discuss the price of cotton, there is no slightest meaning of the grain cheap hurt farmers.

"Uncle Xu, did you ask, at what price does the company accept our cotton?"

The woman who was picking cotton shouted loudly in the field.

"I asked, the company's cotton here, if there is less shell slag, according to one or two or six dollars per 100 catties, calculated, this acre of land can be harvested at least seventy or eighty catties, how can you earn more than one or two silver."

"One two or six dollars! That's a lot! ”

"No, it's not cheaper than in previous years."

"That's it, I knew that I should have planted two acres."

"Two acres of planting, you are not afraid of more flowers and no food rations."

"That is, if you make money by planting cotton, the silver can't be used as food, at least you have to leave a field for rations."

For these people, planting cotton is to take some broken fields to supplement their families, but they have never dared to forget the ancient principle of farming and eating. No one wants to risk the lives of their families.

"Oh, actually, I said, our cotton here is still too much, I heard that the cotton planted in Shitaizhuang is the cotton brought back by the owner from abroad, saying that one acre of land can harvest more than two hundred catties of cotton, and one acre of people is the top of our three or four acres of land, you say, if we also plant that kind of cotton, then it will really earn silver."

This person's words made everyone around him stunned and surprised.

"One acre of land can harvest more than 200 catties of cotton, you didn't say crazy things, this is more than grain."

"What's wrong, don't believe it, don't forget the Chinese cabbage that people planted last winter, and one acre of land can harvest thousands of catties!"

As soon as he said this, the people around him immediately remembered the news that came from last year.

"That's not it, I heard that last winter, they made a lot of money, this Shitaizhuang is out of winter, new houses are built everywhere, and every family lives in Mingtang big tile houses!"

"That's not, speaking of which, Shitaizhuang used to be a Huangzhuang, and later it was rewarded to others, but the land is the owner's, who would have thought that the same farming, we planted it for a few years, and it didn't cost others to earn it a year."

"It's not that it's not top, according to me, it's because of this kind of thing, you said that if we also plant the kind of cotton they grow, wouldn't it be the same harvest......"

Speaking of which, in the end, these farmers who have planted the land for most of their lives know very well what makes other people's harvests good or seeds.

Ordinary people can see the benefits of seeds, and as for those people who are good at farming in the countryside, they can see the difference in Shitaizhuang cotton early.

While the tenants in Zhuangzi were all in battle, Sun Xingwang came to the field again, and he counted the cotton peaches on the cotton again.

"There are seventy or eighty cotton peaches on this cotton plant, can this yield not be high......

Sun Xingwang muttered in his heart, he looked left and right, saw that no one was paying attention to him, and quietly picked the cotton around him, what he was rare was not cotton, but the cotton seeds in the cotton, what he was rare was those seeds, with these seeds, he could also plant more than 200 catties of cotton per mu next year.

Just like he asked the family's long-term workers to come here to steal Chinese cabbage this winter, those Chinese cabbages were planted by him in the yard, and they all left seeds, maybe not much, but as long as there are a few years of effort, these seeds can naturally breed more seeds, and at that time, the family's income will naturally increase exponentially.

However, when he was picking the cotton, he happened to be discovered, so someone immediately shouted.

"Come on, come on, someone, someone has stolen our cotton......"
