Chapter 517: Staggering Numbers
Seven thirty.
Li Zhen, Xun Shifei, and a group of officials from Xizhou came to the edge of Tiankan.
Seeing the crowds on the edge of the field, everyone was making preparations, looking like they were in full swing, and they all had some inexplicable feelings in their hearts.
"Old Zhang's family, is it good for us to harvest rice in the competition?"
"How do you compare?"
"Let's see who harvests faster, anyway, the harvester won't be able to come to us for the time being, so the two of us will harvest faster than whom."
"Okay. An hour, an hour and we see who receives more. ”
"There's a color head."
"What do you say?"
"Those who win, please eat at home if they lose. Haha, ask the loser to eat a new meal of rice in his own house. ”
"Hahahaha, bet, you must go to our house to eat."
“……”
"Hahaha, the harvester harvested our family first, and when they were still in the field, our family had already finished harvesting."
"Xiao Li, thank you for helping our family harvest rice, I'm a lonely old woman who is really incapable, I'm sorry for you."
"Hometown, you're too worried. Government officials are supposed to serve the people. I'm waiting to see your granary full of your hometown. So that my effort is worth it. ”
"Thank you. Great work. ”
"It's not hard."
“……”
It's dawn.
Li Zhen and the others looked at the enthusiastic people and the golden rice fields by the fields, and their hearts were really heavy.
A quarter past eight. The telegraph rang.
Someone shouted, "The rice has been harvested." ”
As soon as the voice came out, dense crowds of people poured into the golden rice fields.
"The rice has been harvested!"
"Harvest the rice!"
"Harvest the rice!"
"Can you take it?"
"It's starting to be collected, and everyone says it's starting to be collected."
“……”
Gimchang County.
"Harvest the rice."
"The auspicious time has arrived, and the rice harvest has begun."
"The rice has been harvested!"
“……”
The whole Xizhou, at this moment, all received the telegram, the rice has been harvested, and this sentence spread throughout the whole Xizhou.
Dense crowds poured into the rice fields, sickles crisscrossing between the rice stalks, and cheerful laughter and the sound of 'Ka Ka Ka Ka' were heard throughout the field.
'Buzz'
A puff of black smoke came from the harvester. A deafening sound erupted, and the field began to got.
"Slow down, don't crush our field."
The young man from the Agricultural Machinery Bureau laughed: "Don't worry, the harvester will never crush the rice, you just follow behind and build a sack." ”
As soon as the harvester sounded, the whole paddy field stopped to see how the big guy worked.
But in the midst of the churning of the earth, the big guy savagely rushed into the field, and in the exclamation of everyone, the top of the harvester began to spit out the rice stalks.
All the way through, neat rice stalks are lined up on the ground.
I just saw that in the bare granary of the harvester, the golden ears of rice flowed in one by one, and drove forward for more than ten meters, and the warehouse was full.
"Oh my God."
"It's a devil."
"That's it?"
"All the way through, there is not a single ear of rice on all the rice stalks? Didn't miss a single one? ”
"It's horrible. That's the power of machinery. ”
“……”
The first farmer to try the harvester was also stunned, and after reacting, he shouted excitedly: "Come and help a few people." The granary is full, don't let my ears of rice spill out. ”
After shouting, the farmer rushed over with a wad of sacks on his back, and as soon as he stopped, he began to shovel the panicked ears of rice into the sack with a shovel. A few shovels filled a sack.
"Someone will help me in my pocket."
"Quick, go help him."
“……”
The driver of the harvester opened the window and yelled with an impatient face, "Hurry up." Hurry up, there are still a lot of people lined up to use it. Don't delay. I'll drive you forward. :”
"No, I can't. Wait, you have to wait for me. ”
The farmer was sweating profusely, and he only hated that he was not prepared in advance, not knowing how quickly this thing could put away the rice. Drive all the way through, and all you have to do is pretend. If it's slow, it's going to spill out.
Pretending to be dressed, everyone in the entire rice field was stunned, and couldn't help but look horrified. He who stood still and did not move.
Li Zhen and the others also looked over and couldn't help but look shocked.
Xun Shifei's mouth trembled, his hands had nowhere to place, and his heart was not calm. 、
": This ...... This, how is this possible. ”
"Oh my God, this harvester is more than ten meters away, and at most half an acre of land looks like the granary is full? That's a 1,000-kilogram granary. ”
"Half an acre of land, a thousand kilograms?"
"No way. It's absolutely impossible. ”
"Behold, the sack is as high as the mountain. With so much grain, in previous years, it was the annual harvest of several acres of land. Enough for a family of five to eat for a year. That's it, that's all? ”
“……”
The atmosphere in the entire rice field suddenly exploded, and looking at the sack as high as the mountain, everyone seemed to be beaten with chicken blood.
Xun Shifei roared: "One thousand kilograms!" ”
Li Zhen also frowned, and muttered: "Four billion guaranteed...... Less. I'm afraid that the minimum guarantee is 8 billion, which is less. ”
Yuan Bing no longer looked apprehensive, his excited legs were like chaff, and he laughed wildly: "Hahahaha, I succeeded." Master Li, I succeeded. It worked. “
"Hahahaha."
“……”
Harvesting rice is in full swing. The entire Western State was fully harvested.
No one felt tired, and the sight of the horrible number of grains made everyone's hearts tremble. Grain, this is food.
At twelve o'clock at noon, everyone in Xizhou was rested. During the break, the sacks from the field were carried home, and then the people from the government began to weigh them.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the harvest continued.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the whole line of Xizhou was suspended and no further harvesting was allowed, and the day's harvest began to be carried home, and then the unified continued weighing.
In the county government of Xiping County, Xun Shifei shouted: "Send a report to all counties and counties, collect all the statistical data, and calculate how much you have received in one day today?" ”
"Yes!"
Drip, drip, drip
The telegraph kept ringing.
Everyone looked nervously at the telegraph operator who kept writing down the numbers.
Li Zhen also held his breath, success or failure is one day today.
Yuan Bing was even more nervous, and he couldn't be at ease. He was nervous all day waiting for the end of this first day, and before he heard the numbers, he was reluctant to pull even a bubble of that he was holding in the morning.
'Bang Bang Bang' abacus sounded.
Five or six accountants start calculating.
The entire county government was silent, and the needles could be heard.
Five minutes later, an accountant's voice trembled and shouted: "On the first day, the output of the whole Western State, seven billion, kilograms!" ”
'Hum-'
The whole county government exploded.
"Seven billion? Kg? Is it kilograms, did you hear it right? ”
"It's kilograms, I'm not miscalculated, I'm not mistaken. It's kilograms. Seven billion kilograms. ”
"The total number of harvests on the first day, seven billion kilograms!"
"Oh my god."
“……”
With a 'bang', the whole scene fell silent, and everyone looked at Xun Shifei.
But seeing that the tea cup in Xun Shifei's hand was crushed alive, the porcelain piece was cut through the palm and blood flowed out, and he was as if he was unconscious.
"Prime Minister, are you alright?"
"Doctor."
“……”
Xun Shifei was stupid, and laughed: "It's okay, it's okay." Hahahaha. Seven billion kilograms. Seven billion kilograms of grain were produced on the first day. Hahaha, don't go to the doctor. I'm happy, I'm happy. ”
'Bang' again. The crowd looked again.
saw Yuan Bing sitting on the ground, knocked over the table, and then the whole person lay down limply. There was a touch of pride, lightness, and a very complex emotion of stupidity on his face.
I didn't say a word, just lay on my back with my face to the sky, hehe, smirk.
In Xizhou, on the first day of harvesting hybrid rice, the total amount of the whole state was 7 billion kilograms.
This battle was won.
