in the sky.

Transport aircraft 'Shennong-1'.

Song Yingxing, the chief agricultural expert, and his brother Song Yingsheng, sitting in the guest seats with a relatively small activity space, couldn't help but put their faces close to the glass portholes, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside, and a green carpet-like ground, with a look of curiosity and excitement on their faces.

After all, it was their first time flying.

At present, there are only three planes in Xujiazhuang, including this 'Shennong No. 1'.

The other two are the 'Xiake' and the 'Special Plane No. 1'.

The Xiake is used by the geological research team led by Xu Xiake, which made its first flight in July last year, and has so far left footprints in more than 20 places in Daming, and has carried out many flight missions, all of which take off and land on dirt roads that are not flat enough, proving the high reliability of this aircraft.

The special plane No. 1 is only for the high-level people of Xujiazhuang, mainly used for inspection work, grassroots visits, and solving unexpected problems.

Only this 'Shennong No. 1' is an aircraft specially designed to serve agricultural work.

This time, the brothers Song Yingxing and Song Yingsheng took this plane to work at the South Breeding Manor in Yazhou, Hainan Island, with a flight distance of about 2,000 kilometers.

And in the cargo hold of the plane, thousands of catties of various seeds were also carried.

There are common crop seeds.

There are artificially collected seeds such as wild soybeans, wheat, rice, etc.

The purpose is to take these seeds to the South Breeding Manor as quickly as possible, participate in the "Shennong Plan", and use various technical means to cultivate excellent crop varieties with high yield, excellent traits, and resistance to diseases and pests.

To this end, Xujiazhuang invested considerable resources, built a special breeding manor covering an area of more than 60,000 acres, purchased a variety of biological research and development equipment, and transferred top local talents such as Song Yingxing and Song Yingsheng in the late Ming Dynasty to lead the agricultural research and development work.

It can be seen that Xujiazhuang attaches great importance to agricultural issues.

"Big brother, the two of us have joined Xujiazhuang for almost three years, right?"

Song Yingxing's thoughts were flying, and he couldn't help but think of all kinds of experiences in the past few years, especially after joining Xujiazhuang, which was more colorful than the past half of his life, like a dream.

You must know that at the beginning, in the face of Xu Jiazhuang's olive branch and hard work, they were very resistant and rejected with loyal and patriotic thoughts, and sternly refused dozens of times.

What an annual salary of 50,000 silver dollars.

What allows access to all kinds of advanced technologies, etc.

Song Yingxing was unmoved, and refused to be wooed by Xu Jiazhuang again and again.

But later, his concubine and young son fell seriously ill one after another, and they were all cured with the miracle medicine provided by Xujiazhuang. There was a serious economic crisis in the family, and it was Xujiazhuang who provided tens of thousands of silver dollar loans to help get out of the predicament, and finally even the family members around them thought that they owed Xujiazhuang too much kindness, and it was really unreasonable to refuse to win them over, so they were forced to agree to come to Xujiazhuang for half a year to see what they could do to repay Xujiazhuang.

As a result, this investigation has deeply trapped myself.

Then the eldest brother Song Yingsheng was also brought in, and the two brothers finally joined Xujiazhuang, and in a relatively short period of time, they learned and mastered the most advanced scientific knowledge and became top experts.

Slowly, he also recognized the culture and system of Xujiazhuang and abandoned his own limitations.

Looking back now, I feel quite embarrassed and happy.

"It's been almost three years."

Song Yingsheng nodded: "I originally planned to visit for a few days and leave, but Xujiazhuang is indeed too advanced and developed, the knowledge that our brothers have mastered can't help Xujiazhuang anything, but we have learned countless things in Xujiazhuang in the past three years, and it is we who take advantage of it. ”

"It's not too late to start pursuing the truth, didn't Confucius say that when you hear the Tao, you can die at night."

"However, the burden on us is not light, the content of the "Shennong Plan" is very huge, it will take at least thirty to fifty years to barely complete the first stage of this plan, to make this plan all realized, it must be a hundred years, hundreds of years, you and I will definitely not be able to see it at that time, we can only turn into pioneers and ladders, help the latecomers to open the way, and even if the first stage is successful, it is also a great achievement for the people of the Ming Dynasty to say goodbye to famine, in the words of the owner, we are two brothers, will be canonized by future generations, the new generation of agricultural saints is us, such a great cause, it is exciting to think about. ”

As a matter of fact!

The purpose of Xu Yuan personally leading people to formulate the "Shennong Plan" is to get rid of the dependence on the improved varieties of modern society, to achieve self-sufficiency in the late Ming Dynasty, and to make full use of the species resources of the late Ming Dynasty, so that agricultural experts can independently develop the improved varieties suitable for the late Ming Dynasty and embark on a new road.

After all, the biodiversity here at the end of the Ming Dynasty was too rich.

There are very few species of plants and animals that are currently extinct.

Samples of wild beans, wheat, and rice can be found everywhere, all of which are traits.

Even some precious, high-value animal and plant resources that cannot be found in modern society are innumerable.

It's a huge treasure trove of biological resources, and even using only 1% of them can bring a huge amount of profit.

Of course, at this stage, Xu Yuan did not dare to think so far, he in the "Shennong Plan", the first stage of the goal, is to hope that within thirty or fifty years, with the help of the most advanced hybridization, genetic breeding technology, etc., to achieve self-sufficiency in all food crops and hundreds of kinds of vegetables and fruits, as for the new road, the development of local characteristics of the good seeds, by that time maybe Xu Yuan will not be able to see, the two sides of the world of light gate channel is gone, so it is meaningless to think so far.

Naturally, this pair of brothers Song Yingxing and Song Yingsheng are even more so, they only need to focus on completing the goals of the first stage.

Chatting and talking.

After the excitement, the two brothers discussed the future of Xujiazhuang.

Song Yingsheng made a hypothesis and asked: "How long can Xujiazhuang's model last?" In case the owner of the village is no longer there, how should Xujiazhuang develop, and can it be as stable as a country, at least for two or three hundred years, rather than a flash in the pan? ”

"It depends on the will of the people."

Song Yingxing thought for a while and said: "If the culture and system of Xujiazhuang are deeply popular and supported, and no one wants turmoil and change, then Xujiazhuang can exist for a long time, on the contrary, if it is more and more unpopular with the people, and more and more problems and shortcomings are exposed, then even if the owner of the village is an immortal who can live a long life of hundreds of years, Xujiazhuang should collapse or collapse, and it is useless to let his immortal power be boundless, just like the sentence he often puts in his mouth, the people are the country and everything." ”

Song Yingsheng asked again: "Then do you think there is a big problem in Xujiazhuang?" ”

"Of course, there are a lot of problems."

Song Yingxing said: "For example, the "Oriental Times" recently reported that some locals in Xujiazhuang discriminated against and insulted outsiders; In order to pursue profits, a small number of collective estates charge high fees, exploit the surrounding villages and towns, or there is a trend of comparison and paving within Xujiazhuang, and corruption has also risen, etc., these are the signs of problems, but the owners of the village did not avoid these problems, did not just listen to the praises, but all of them were dealt with seriously, suppressed and curbed these phenomena in a timely manner, and welcomed all people, especially non-Xujiazhuang people, to put forward suggestions and criticisms, all good suggestions were adopted, and the criticisms that hit the point were immediately corrected, and also stressed that it was necessary to maintain a strong ability to correct errorsto find and deal with it in a timely manner...... Master Xu Zhuang not only has the capacity to accommodate people, but also has a heart similar to that of King Qi. ”

"The owner of the village is wise and martial, like a saint, but if he is gone, can he still find it in time and correct the problem in time?"

"Then it depends on the system, as long as a good system is formed, prevention is made, most of the problems can be avoided, we can also note that now the rotating consuls take turns to govern for a period of six months a year, and it will increase in the future, during this period, the owner will not interfere too much, many large and small affairs, as long as the six consuls reach a consensus, if there is a disagreement, let the owner decide, and ask the master mother if he is not there...... That is, decentralization and centralization of power, over time, a benign system will be formed, and it will continue to operate stably for a long time. ”

Hear here.

There was silence for about a quarter of an hour.

Song Yingsheng finally made up his mind and said: "Chang Geng, I think it's better to bring you and my wives and concubines and children to Harbour City, or to the breeding manor, let them all settle in Xujiazhuang, and let them join this system." ”

"Big brother, have you finally figured it out?"

Song Yingxing was very surprised, because under normal circumstances, this is impossible, after all, their Song family is a high-ranking family in Fengxin County, Jiangxi, a standard gentry landlord, the family owns thousands of acres of fertile land, more than a dozen workshops, rich and powerful, there are servants and tenants, they are the objects of the government to win and curry, and their lives are not bad.

If you join Xujiazhuang, it will only be greatly improved in terms of education, medical care, etc., the convenience of life will be improved, and there will be more opportunities for the development of future generations, but it will also be restricted by not allowing polygamy, and there are no too many servants and nannies at home, etc., which can only be said to have good and bad, pros and cons, and the attraction to the gentry class is not very great.

But this time...... The eldest brother Song Yingsheng finally figured it out and made the decision to bring his family to join Xujiazhuang.

"It's not that I figured it out, I just think that the road of Xujiazhuang may be wider and farther, even if it can't be rich for a long time, the living conditions of future generations will not be too bad." Song Yingsheng said.

"That's right, I have long thought so, Xujiazhuang has a better future, the backward and decadent Confucian traditional society, sooner or later will be eliminated, not to mention our sons and grandchildren, who have only been to Harbour City once or twice, they are all begging to join Xujiazhuang, their hearts have long been towards Xujiazhuang."

Song Yingxing shook his head and smiled.
