We often say that there was no shortage of talented people during the Republic of China, and there was no shortage of capable bureaucrats.

For example, the Department of Agriculture and Forestry, which is about to be upgraded to a ministerial-level unit, will not affect the development of China's agriculture regardless of whether Chen Jitang is in charge or Feng Yuxiang is in charge. Because the real person in charge is Qian Tianhe, director of the Department of Agriculture and Forestry at this time and the future vice minister of agriculture and forestry.

Qian Tianhe mainly focused on three points in increasing agricultural output:

First, it is necessary to popularize improved varieties, including wheat, rice, cotton, silkworms, and cattle. Take cotton as an example, the improved cotton has been promoted to 36 counties, and the yield per mu has increased rapidly from 18.2 catties in 1937 to 63.4 catties in 1939, and the yield per mu has increased by 250%. Under the auspices of Qian Tianhe, 40,000 mu of improved wheat has been promoted, and "regenerative rice" and "second cropping rice" have also been planted on a trial basis.

Second, promote scientific fertilizers. The scientific fertilizer here is not only chemical fertilizer, but also includes a variety of green manure, such as Yuanping mushroom compost, vetch green manure, steamed bone meal, and so on. These green manures do not need to rely on an industrial base, but they are very effective in increasing crop yields.

Third, promote the prevention and control of pests and diseases. In the past, farmers rarely used pesticides, but Qian Tianhe set up many pesticide factories, although the output of pesticides was very low, but it was increasing little by little.

In addition to these, Qian Tianhe also encouraged the reclamation and development of forestry resources, and even stipulated that private wasteland that was not planted within the time limit would be directly forcibly sold or expropriated by the government.

There were also agricultural loans and rural cooperatives, which had been promoted before the war, but were not implemented effectively by local officials. After Qian Tianhe came to power to take charge of agriculture, he immediately made drastic measures and quickly opened up the situation with the orders of the central authorities.

From 1938 to 1944, Sichuan Province alone, under the auspices of Qian Tianhe, opened 31 canals (large), built 334 dams, dug 2,826 ponds, and countless other small irrigation projects.

The Anti-Japanese War was victorious, and Qian Tianhe made great contributions, because he could make the rice bags bulge.

After graduating from Tsinghua University, he studied in the United States and received a master's degree in agriculture from Cornell University. During the Northern Expedition, Qian Tianhe served as an official in the Nanjing government, and followed Chang Kaishen all the way to the present.

Therefore, Chen Jitang and Feng Yuxiang are all decorations, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry will definitely have the final say in the future. Even when he arrived in Taiwan, Lao Chiang carried out land reform and developed Taiwan's agriculture, but Qian Tianhe still made a great contribution to it and participated in the formulation of Taiwan's agricultural policy throughout the process.

After Feng Yuxiang was appointed as the leader of the scientific chicken promotion group, Qian Tianhe immediately assigned him a deputy, and more than two-thirds of the members of the entire group were Qian Tianhe's people. Our general suddenly found that he was already in the Agriculture and Forestry Division before he was ready to do anything.

Feng Yuxiang was depressed, but helpless. He finally asked for an official to be an official, but it was virtual, so he could only pick up his old business again - to do publicity.

In one day, Feng Yuxiang drew 12 cartoons, all of which were chickens and eggs.

For example, in this cartoon called "Divine Egg", four farmers happily lift an egg, which is larger than a person. And the inscription poem said: "Scientific chicken raising is really wonderful, earthworms have become chicken feed." Chickens grow fast after eating and give birth to eggs that are so big. Everyone came to learn how to raise chickens, and the people were no longer hungry. Chicken and eggs are nutritious, eat enough to kill devils! ”

"Mingcheng, in the next issue of the pictorial, you will publish all these cartoons of mine." Feng Yuxiang said with a smile.

After reading these cartoons, Zhou Hexuan couldn't help but smile: "General Feng's drawings are really good, but there are too many of them, and I can only publish two." ”

"Two is just two, whatever," Feng Yuxiang quickly got to the point, "By the way, do you have a manuscript of "Captain China"?" Show me the content of the third issue. ”

Zhou Hexuan took out a stack of sketches from the drawer and said with a smile: "Please Yajian." ”

Feng Yuxiang glanced at it and said, "This style of painting is a bit wrong, it is more delicate and detailed than the first two issues." ”

Zhou Hexuan explained: "Drawing comics is too time-consuming, and I will make up stories in the future, and then let Wanrong draw the stories into comics." I also assigned her an assistant, and the guns and tanks in it were all drawn by the assistant. ”

Feng Yuxiang nodded and said: "This method is good, it's the same as running a factory, what is it called?" ”

"Assemblieu production." Zhou Hexuan said.

"Yes, it's an assembly line." Feng Yuxiang began to read the comics after speaking.

In the third episode of "Captain China", the compatriot who lost his mind died at the beginning. He didn't know how to dodge, but instead caught the bomb and threw it back, blowing the door open while his own flesh and blood were blown up. In this way, he did not die, but rushed out to kill, and was finally burned alive by the Japanese army using flamethrowers.

The protagonist Zheng Xiaofei is more intelligent and witty, and the moment the Japanese army threw the bomb, he picked up several Japanese corpses as meat shields. Then he rushed out of the room and slaughtered all the way, rescuing many of his compatriots who were used as experiments. At the same time, the cartoon also exposed the atrocities of the Japanese army, where Chinese prisoners were brutally abused, and some were even innocent civilians who were captured.

When the Japanese army in the entire laboratory was about to be killed by Zheng Xiaofei, the villain Dr. Aihara appeared again.

Dr. Aihara also injected himself with a potion, which contained the genes of the Yingkou Falling Dragon. He evolved out of control and turned into a half-human, half-dragon monster, beating Zheng Xiaofei very badly. At the critical time, Zheng Xiaofei also exploded and transformed, his whole body was covered with the hair of the Siberian tiger, and he staged a dragon and tiger fight in the Japanese army laboratory.

Zheng Xiaofei used his wisdom to win a crushing victory and escaped from the laboratory with injuries. And Dr. Aihara, who was killed by him, suddenly trembled slightly with his fingers, and then struggled to get up, and the third episode of "Captain China" ended.

"What about the fourth episode?" Feng Yuxiang couldn't wait to ask.

Zhou Hexuan spread his hands: "The fourth episode hasn't been drawn yet, do you want me to reveal the plot to you?" ”

Feng Yuxiang hurriedly said: "Then it's still not necessary, I'll wait to see the serial." ”

Zhou Hexuan suddenly asked: "How is the preparation of the scientific chicken promotion team?" ”

"Don't mention it, I can't get involved." Feng Yuxiang smiled helplessly.

Qian Tianhe is so domineering, he doesn't give Feng Yuxiang face at all, and it is useless for Feng Yuxiang to go to Lao Jiang to reason.

Zhou Hexuan didn't want to ask again, and continued to talk to Feng Yuxiang about comics.

At this time, Ma Jue and Wanrong returned together, and both of them are now teachers. Wanrong is a lecturer in painting at the art department of Central University, and Ma Jue is an associate professor at the law school of Chongqing University - this title is highly rated, worthy of a doctorate from the University of London.

"Sir!"

Ma Jue walked in quickly, looked at Zhou Hexuan with a smile, and directly ignored Feng Yuxiang next to him.

Zhou Hexuan had a little headache, Ma Jue's meaning couldn't be more obvious, she stayed in Chongqing just for our old Zhou, and even borrowed the Zhou Mansion and didn't leave.
