Chapter 501: Plan Ahead
In the face of Xu Wen's suspicion, Li Weidong calmly calmed down and said unhurriedly: "Weidong No. 1! ”
"Weidong No. 1?"
Xu Wen was stunned for a moment, and then went to touch the teacup, but fortunately, Li Weidong was already close, and he saw the opportunity quickly, so he took the teacup away first.
"Captain, I'll help you get some water."
"You ......"
Xu Wen's fingers trembled and pointed at Li Weidong, which showed his mood at the moment.
He is not unfamiliar with the name Weidong No. 1, because Li Weidong mentioned this word last time when he was bragging in front of him, and Xu Wen was not angry at that time, so he should have fun.
After all, the greenhouse had just been built at that time, and he could also understand some of Li Weidong's naïve thoughts, after all, he grew up in the countryside, and he had seen the hardships and hunger in the countryside, and some juvenile ideals could also be fully understood.
But this time and that time.
Xu Wen could understand Li Weidong at that time, and he didn't care about those naïve words.
But now that Li Weidong is the deputy captain of the training base and a deputy department-level cadre, he is still as naïve and naïve as before, and he is not only angry, but also a little disappointed.
Even he was a little skeptical that his previous approach was wrong, even if Li Weidong was strong in handling cases and had more than one first-class merit, but after all, the age was there, and he jumped triple in just over half a year and became the deputy captain, which was too fast.
Even if he arranged a political commissar who didn't deal with him and wanted to sharpen him, but now, it doesn't seem to have any effect.
In terms of his mental nature, he is still far behind.
This is obviously my own negligence.
Fortunately, it's not too late to find out, so while he hasn't left yet, let him learn a lesson.
Thinking of this, Xu Wen's heart moved.
Just as he was about to speak, Li Weidong spoke first.
"Captain, what I just said is true, now the greenhouse has begun to bear fruit, some of the sweet potatoes have been improved under careful cultivation, which has been determined by Professor Zhao Liguo, and now Professor Zhao stays in the greenhouse every day to take care of the improved sweet potatoes.
That's why I can't wait to get more experimental plots, and then expand the planting scale to get more high-quality, improved new varieties of sweet potato.
As for the training base, you don't have to worry, Chen Xia and I have already set a training plan, and now everything is going according to plan, there will be no mistakes, otherwise I wouldn't have stayed in the greenhouse all the time.
Although the training base is important, in my eyes, it is more important to improve the varieties of sweet potatoes and breed better and more drought-tolerant sweet potatoes, because it is a question of whether millions of people can have enough to eat. ”
With Li Weidong's words, Xu Wen's words that had already reached his lips were blocked back.
Not only because of the righteousness of Li Weidong's last words, but also because Xu Wen knows very well how meaningful sweet potatoes are if they are really improved.
As Li Weidong said.
Is the training base important?
Definitely important.
But if the improved sweet potato can really increase the yield, then which is important, I'm afraid three-year-old children can tell which one is important.
What's more, Li Weidong also said that there was no delay at the training base.
So now there is only one question in front of Xu Wen, whether what Li Weidong said is true or false.
It's not that he doesn't believe Li Weidong, but this matter is so important that Xu Wen can't help but have some gains and losses.
"You didn't lie to me?"
"Captain, I won't lie to your old man if I lie to anyone, and Professor Zhao is in the Sixth Farm now, if you don't believe it, I'll take you to see it."
Li Weidong's old man's words made Xu Wen glare at him fiercely.
"Let's go, go to the Sixth Farm."
Xu Wen didn't hesitate, he got up directly, and as for the meeting to be held, he could only ask for leave.
After all, compared to the news that sweet potatoes have been improved, a meeting really can't be compared.
At the big level, this is a question related to whether millions of people can fill their stomachs, and at the bottom of the day, the Sixth Farm was established by him, and Li Weidong was pulled out by him.
Even the materials for the greenhouse were approved by him.
It can be said that once the greenhouse is really successful, then he will also get a lot of benefits, which will become his rich qualifications in the future.
Provided, of course, that it's true.
"Okay."
Li Weidong immediately took Xu Wen to the Sixth Farm.
The reason why he brought Xu Wen here was naturally certain.
Even on purpose.
Because he also knew that Xu Wen was about to leave, and wanted to give the other party a generous gift before leaving.
This is another reason why he deliberately came to the door to scold.
Otherwise, I really want to stuff two people into the Sixth Farm, and it's a temporary worker, it's so difficult?
Even if Xu Wen leaves and the new captain takes office, it is a trivial matter for Li Weidong, even if he doesn't stuff people into the sixth farm, but he doesn't have nothing to do with other farms.
Was his previous layout in vain?
In the final analysis, Li Weidong just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to leak the news to Xu Wen.
"Professor Zhao."
Li Weidong opened the curtain of the greenhouse and shouted directly at Zhao Liguo, who was squatting in the sweet potato field to observe.
"Hey, you're finally back."
Zhao Liguo was overjoyed when he saw Li Weidong coming.
When Li Weidong told him about his plan, he also reprimanded him, thinking that Li Weidong was whimsical, but he didn't expect that the other party messed around and really made the sweet potato change.
Especially after this month, he has become more and more convinced that this change is good.
Sometimes he can't help but wonder if his failure to cultivate successfully before is it really because he is too safe and blindly talks about science?
Otherwise, why did Li Weidong succeed in making trouble?
Although he was puzzled in his heart, seeing a lot of sweet potatoes change, his heart was undoubtedly ecstatic, so even if Li Weidong left, he had been staying here, not to mention not leaving an inch, but the two greenhouses in the original research institute had been forgotten by him at this moment.
"Recently, according to my records, the number of sweet potatoes that have changed has reached 102, and as long as the next month grows smoothly, then this batch of sweet potatoes will become new seedlings."
When Zhao Liguo saw Li Weidong coming in, he immediately talked about the changes in the recent period.
"Professor Zhao, do you mean that these sweet potatoes have been successfully improved?"
At this time, Xu Wen's voice came out.
"This ......"
Zhao Liguo looked at Xu Wen suspiciously, as if he couldn't figure out the identity of the other party.
"Professor Zhao, let me introduce to you, this is Captain Xu of our prison, and the reason why the greenhouse can be built depends on the support of the captain."
Li Weidong said.
"Okay, the greenhouse was built by yourself in a report, you don't need to put gold on my face, I came here this time to make sure that the sweet potato is really improved."
Xu Wen waved his hand and rejected Li Weidong's kindness.
"Captain Xu, hello, thank you for your support to our Institute of Agricultural Sciences, as for the success of sweet potato improvement, we can't just look at this stubble, only continue to plant, can we be sure."
Zhao Liguo pondered for a while, but did not give a full answer.
Because of this sweet potato mutation, in his eyes, it was a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, and there were too many uncertainties, and he was worried that Xu Wen would report it directly for credit.
After all, he also experienced the period when the yield per mu was 10,000 catties.
When the time comes, what will he use to prove that this batch of sweet potatoes has been improved?
It can't be said that it was because Li Weidong was messing around, so it led to the mutation of sweet potatoes, right?
If this is the case, not only does no one believe it, but I am afraid that it is a question whether this greenhouse can be saved.
After all, being labeled as a fraud, ruining the future is secondary, and if it really leads to the destruction of this batch of sweet potatoes that have begun to mutate, he will not be able to forgive himself in his life.
Because of this, he hesitated.
"Still not sure?"
Xu Wen turned his head to look at Li Weidong, after all, the other party had promised him before that the sweet potato had been successfully improved.
"Captain, Professor Zhao is worried that if there is anything, it will bring bad consequences, in fact, in my judgment, this mutation of sweet potato is equivalent to successful cultivation, after all, sweet potato is different from other grain seeds, it belongs to asexual reproduction, to put it bluntly, it is cut into pieces, rhizome propagation.
As long as these mutated sweet potatoes are bred and grow normally, then it will continue its previous genes.
If you've been here, it's no problem to keep the test plot on Farm No. 6, and I'm not in a hurry.
But you're leaving soon, keep putting it here, I'm worried about ......"
Li Weidong closed his mouth halfway through his words.
Because Xu Wen was already glaring at him fiercely.
"What are you worried about? Worried that the new Captain will take the credit from you? At that time, you won't be able to make the new variety called Weidong No. 1? So you want to put the test field in your hometown? ”
Xu Wen snorted coldly.
How could the little calculation in the other party's heart be hidden from him?
So Xu Wen didn't pay attention to Li Weidong anymore, but looked at Zhao Liguo, after all, the other party is the real expert, and he trusts the other party more than the 'Li technician' next to him.
"Professor Zhao, don't worry, before the success of the experiment, I will definitely not publicize it, and even ensure the planting of the experimental field, I just want to know, is the sweet potato improved successfully?"
"Sort of."
Zhao Liguo hesitated, and finally nodded.
Even if it was just a mutation of this stubble, how could he not be able to tell the difference based on his experience?
As Li Weidong just said, not to mention the other sweet potatoes in the greenhouse, the 102 sweet potatoes he recorded, with the current growth, the yield increase is 100%, and even the current growth rate is significantly higher than the rest of the sweet potatoes.
Let's not talk about drought fighting, but the increase in production is certain.
If these 102 sweet potato plants are used as seeds to continue to propagate, even if the greenhouse environment is put aside and grown in a normal field, the yield will definitely be much higher than that of ordinary sweet potatoes.
So from this point of view, the improvement is undoubtedly a preliminary success.
But if you want to promote planting on a large scale, you must at least wait for the next crop to determine its stability.
If this yield can be maintained after two or three crops, the improvement can be declared successful.
This is the safest way to do this, and it is also a necessary process for the normal cultivation of new varieties.
"Did it really work? Professor Zhao, in your opinion, how much can the yield of sweet potatoes increase after this improvement? ”
Xu Wen's face showed a deep surprise.
I originally thought it was just Li Weidong's nonsense, but I didn't expect to be crooked and cultivate a new sweet potato variety.
In his opinion, it doesn't need much, as long as it can increase production by 10 percent, it is a huge number.
"According to preliminary estimates, there should be about 15 percent."
Zhao Liguo didn't dare to say more.
Although with current observations, the final yield of these mutated sweet potatoes may be a terrible number.
But after all, it belongs to the first crop mutation, and it is still unstable, and if the planting continues, the yield will definitely fall, but the increase in yield by 15% is not a big problem.
"Fifteen percent?"
As the captain of the prison, although Xu Wen does not farm, he also understands what the figure of 15 percent means.
Although it is impossible to increase the entire country's sweet potato production by this much, the sum of all, even if it is only half or a third, can fill the stomachs of an unknown number of people and stop starving.
What's more, he knows far more inside stories than Li Weidong in his capacity.
Because of the difficult times in those years, the top made up their minds to encourage more people to farm, so that more land could be cultivated.
At this time, if the yield of sweet potatoes increases, the two phases will be superimposed, and more grain will be harvested.
The impact is undoubtedly far-reaching.
It is definitely too much to say that the merit is in the future, but the benefit is absolutely no problem at the moment.
"Okay, okay."
Even with Xu Wen's concentration, he would be excited.
"Professor Zhao, if you have any needs next, you can mention it, as long as I can do it, I guarantee my full support."
"Demand?"
Zhao Liguo frowned, and then couldn't help but look at Li Weidong on the side.
If you really want to say that there is any need, that is, let Li Weidong join him, after all, whether it is shit luck or not, it is crooked, at least it proves that the other party's luck is prosperous.
Even if Li Weidong doesn't do anything, as long as he stays in the greenhouse, Zhao Liguo feels that there will be more sweet potato mutations in the future.
Quan should treat him as a mascot.
Of course, Zhao Liguo's thought was just a flash, because he knew very well that at this point, whether Li Weidong was there or not was actually not very important, and the other party was now the deputy captain and had a bright future, if the other party was tied here, it would definitely be unfair to him, and it would even delay the other party's future.
"Captain, Professor Zhao doesn't really need anything here, it's just that the next sweet potato test field, you see ......"
Zhao Liguo didn't speak, but Li Weidong spoke again.
As he was worried before, once the new captain is replaced, it will not be his Li Weidong who is in charge of the sixth farm.
Even if he and Zhao Haifeng get along harmoniously now, who can guarantee that after the new captain comes, the relationship between the two sides will still be the same as before?
He wasn't afraid of someone taking eye pills, and the point was, he couldn't stay at Sixth Farm all the time.
In case someone makes it bad, Weidong No. 1 will fall short at that time.
Therefore, Li Weidong must take precautions.
