Western State.

Five o'clock in the morning.

Everyone had already gotten up, packed up, and prepared farm tools.

The whole Xizhou is brightly lit in the moonlight that has not yet dawned. No one slept in the day, and there are even many who haven't slept all night.

"Master Li, you can get up."

There was a knock on the door outside, but Li Zhen had already dressed and walked out energetically: "Are you ready?" ”

"Ready. Master Li, let's dine. ”

"Let's go."

The group followed Li Zhen and walked into the county government in a hurry. The county government is brightly lit, and the banquet has already been set up. Zhang Haiyang stretched out, and all the officials up and down the entire Xiping County were full.

After seeing Li Zhen coming, they all got up to greet each other: "Master Li." ”

"Dean Li."

"Dean's morning."

"How many catties of grain does the dean expect Xizhou to produce this time?"

"Then there is no need for the dean to guess, it must be eight billion kilograms up."

"Eight billion ...... Oh my God, kilograms? Really? Impossible, right? ”

“……”

Listen to the discussion of the crowd and take a seat.

Yuan Bing had a wry smile on his face, guaranteed forty, and won eighty. These people have such a big appetite, and the opening is eight billion to go up, which is a bit terrifying. If it is not reached, then the Kyushu Academy of Sciences will have no light on its face.

was chatting, Xun Shifei also strode in, before anyone arrived, Lang Xiao had already spread throughout the county: "Everyone is early." ”

"Prime Minister Xun."

"Good morning, Prime Minister."

"The Prime Minister is here."

"Prime Minister Xun is good."

“……”

Xun Shifei nodded and smiled at Zhang Haiyang, a smile that benefited Zhang Haiyang a lot.

"Senior brother, how many kilograms do you expect the total grain production in Xizhou to reach?"

Xun Shifei sat next to Li Zhen, started his chopsticks, and said casually.

Li Zhen smiled and turned on his chopsticks, saying, "Yuan Bing, you come on." ”

Yuan Bing felt bitter in his heart, and forced a laugh: "Guarantee the minimum of 4 billion kilograms, and strive for 8 billion kilograms." ”

Xun Shifei paused his chopsticks and looked back at Yuan Bing: "Four billion guaranteed?" ”

"Hmm."

Xun Shifei was anxious: "Is there any loophole?" That's not what you said at last year's Kyushu Science and Technology Awards, Dean Yuan, don't put me in it. The minimum guarantee is 4 billion, only 4 billion. The whole country has invested a lot of manpower and material resources, if it is only 4 billion, it is not a loss, but it is not worth it. The enthusiasm for labor that has been stimulated by Xizhou will quickly decay into a negative attitude. ”

Li Zhen was expressionless, and didn't interject a word, just listened to Yuan Bing say: "It's that kind of data in the laboratory, but when it is extended to the entire state, the situation will change in all kinds of ways. There are many accidents in the quality of paddy fields, weather conditions, and manual maintenance, which are different from careful cultivation in the laboratory. So...... I'm not sure. ”

Xun Shifei gasped, glanced at Li Zhen, and found that Li Zhen was indifferent, and his heart became even more anxious: "Dean Yuan." That's not how you calculated, you said at the Kyushu Science and Technology Award, but the grain yield of hybrid rice is several times that of southern rice, and the grains are fuller than that of northern rice. Last year, the total output of Xizhou was only two or three billion kilograms, but this year it has cultivated so many more fields and invested so many financial and material resources. Logically speaking, the minimum guarantee should be 8 billion kilograms, and strive for 16. How did you get a discount. ”

Yuan Bing was covered with cold sweat, and found that everyone stopped their chopsticks to look at him, and the pressure in his heart was extremely great, and he said hardly: "Hybrid rice is still only in an experimental state, and it has been promoted for large-scale trial planting before it is completely mature. I can guarantee that the rice is fine, but there are any oversights in the planting process that I don't know. Because there's not a lot of time to test and perfect. I am confident in the data on hybrid rice, but I am not confident in large-scale trials. ”

Xun Shifei no longer had the idea of eating, and the whole person was stupid. Guaranteed 4 billion?

Four billion?

What can four billion do, four billion is the number of four billion, and the face is red. I'm ashamed to say it. How much effort did I spend on staying in Xizhou for a quarter, but I was disappointed?

Zhang Haiyang didn't dare to take a breath, the whole state produced 4 billion kilograms of grain?

Yes, this number is two or three times that of what it used to be, and the people of Xizhou will not go hungry. But this is not in line with the original intention, which is to completely get rid of poverty. This figure is far from what was expected.

Before planting, some people even said that it could break 10 billion kilograms. But now, even Dean Yuan Bing just said that the minimum guarantee is 4 billion.

After a long silence. Li Zhen knocked on the bowl and made a 'dingding' sound that attracted everyone's attention.

"What are you doing in a daze? Let's eat, eat first. Everything before the final result came out was just speculation, Dean Yuan was a down-to-earth person, and he didn't dare to speak too angrily. He just said that the minimum guarantee is 4 billion, and that is because when the planting is fully promoted, there will be all kinds of accidents, which are difficult to predict. What if there are no accidents and break 10 billion? That's something you can't say, right? ”

Li Zhen took a stubble, and everyone did not dare to be disobedient.

Xun Shifei laughed: "Yes, haha, what the junior brother said is right." Don't be stunned, eat, eat first. I have to work after eating. ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately lowered their heads and ate with vegetables.

No one dared to giggle anymore, there was no more fiery breath, and the whole scene became extremely dull. There was only the sound of eating, and no one dared to gasp.

Xun Shifei also ate with his head stuffy, and kept picking up dishes with Li Zhen.

Li Zhen turned around and smiled at Yuan Bing: "Don't be nervous. You just care too much, and if you care too much, you will have an unstable and irrational mentality. Hybrid rice is no problem, you have to believe your work. Think about the bright side, what if you can break 20 billion kilograms? The state has invested so much financial and material resources, hybrid rice will be very competitive, right? ”

Yuan Bing smiled bitterly and did not speak.

20 billion ......

Li Shi is now more and more adept at telling jokes. Indeed, theoretically speaking, hybrid rice can produce 20 billion grains, but the theory is a theory, and it must be viewed in combination with the actual situation.

The gap in paddy fields is directly related to the quality of rice. Two different fields planted the same rice. One piece can produce 1,000 kilograms of grain. One piece can only produce two or three hundred kilograms.

This is directly related to the quality of paddy fields. It is also related to post-maintenance. On the whole, taking the average, the guarantee of 4 billion is probably even really guaranteed.

In the midst of a silent meal. In the city of Xiping County, the people got up one after another, carrying farm tools and singing all kinds of songs one by one, laughing and running to the farmland.

"Autumn harvest is over."

"It's time for the autumn harvest."

"Hahaha, my family's field must be full of abundance this year."

"I'm afraid my family won't be able to eat all the food this year in a year."

"The Kyushu Academy of Sciences is really a savior bodhisattva."

"I am strong in Kyushu Academy of Sciences, and strong in my Daxi Prefecture."

"Hey, hey, let's have breakfast first."

"What kind of breakfast, Lao Tzu wants to eat new rice!"
