"This one is big, I'm this big."

In the field, there were shouts from time to time, and everyone was competing to see who picked up the big sweet potato, and the cheers came one after another.

Don't look at the people who can work here, but when the grain on the farm is harvested, they can eat a few more mouthfuls of food, and they will naturally be happy.

These sweet potatoes are their hopes.

Although sweet potatoes can't be used as staple food, this thing has a high yield, and it can satisfy hunger at critical moments, and people will not die of hunger.

Especially in some hilly and barren land, planting wheat and corn, the yield is outrageous, but planting sweet potatoes, because you don't have to take care of it too much, but also drought resistance, not much picking, so the yield is relatively high, and it is the first choice in some places.

"Weidong, look at this, you have to weigh six or seven pounds, right?"

Zhao Haifeng hugged a big potato and rushed to Li Weidong excitedly, as if showing off his luck.

At this time, Zhao Haifeng did not have the slightest captain's shelf, and his face was filled with deep joy.

"It's pretty big."

Li Weidong was also a little surprised, in the next life, let alone six or seven catties, even sixty or seventy catties of sweet potatoes can be made for you, but this will still be a bit rare.

However, it is not uncommon for a few sweet potatoes to grow particularly large in an acre of land.

Now he is more concerned about the yield of an acre of land.

Fortunately, Zhao Haifeng didn't let him wait too long, and the more people worked, the faster it was, and the acre of land was quickly cleaned up, and then the harvested sweet potatoes were put into a frame and began to be weighed.

After each frame, Zhou Ji would take a notebook and write it down, which would push even the accountant of the farm to the side.

Finally, when all the sweet potatoes were weighed, Zhou Ji began to calculate the total amount.

Looking at his frowning face, Zhao Haifeng hated to push him away.

Can you do it?

If it doesn't work, get out of the way and let the professionals come.

Fortunately, Zhou Ji didn't let everyone wait long, and when he calculated it, he put the book away and looked at Zhao Haifeng with a straight face.

"Captain, guess how much?"

"Guess the, hurry up."

Zhao Haifeng glared at Zhou Ji angrily, and even grabbed the notebook impatiently, then looked at the numbers calculated on it, and laughed.

"1752 catties, Weidong, our Weidong No. 1, 1752 catties per mu, bumper harvest, bumper harvest."

As the captain of a farm, it is impossible for Zhao Haifeng not to know the yield of one acre of sweet potatoes.

The land on this side of the farm is relatively flat and fertile, and there are many people, and water can also be supplied, so the normal yield is higher than that of some barren land, but even so, it is only about 1,200 catties per mu.

Like those hilly areas, even seven or eight hundred catties.

Don't look at the future generations, the yield per mu is five or six thousand catties, or even tens of thousands of catties.

But this will be 63 years, and the domestic fertilizer is only in its infancy, far from being able to supply the whole country, let alone be used to grow sweet potatoes.

Therefore, the yield per mu is more than 1,000 catties, which is already a high yield.

But now, the same acre of land, planted Weidong No. 1, has reached 1752 catties, what is this concept?

Compared with ordinary sweet potatoes, the yield has increased by more than 40%.

It was almost exactly what Professor Zhao had predicted at the beginning.

And even more.

How could this make Zhao Haifeng unhappy?

Although I knew for a long time that there might be this yield, it was only Professor Zhao's estimation at that time, and I didn't really dig it out, so no one was sure if there was one.

And now, when the output is in front of me, that heart can be regarded as completely put into the stomach.

With the yield of this acre, the rest will definitely not be much worse.

It can be said that it was a bumper harvest.

"Yes, hard work captain."

Although Li Weidong's face was also a little happy, it was far less intense than when others came.

When he had just weighed, he counted in his heart by the way, and when he finished weighing, before Zhou Ji began to count, the number 1752 appeared in his heart.

Naturally, he was not as excited as Zhao Haifeng.

"Hey, what kind of hard work am I? The real hard work should be you, think about staying in the greenhouse, staying for a month, many people still say that you are a Li technician, now, I see that their faces are swollen or not. ”

Zhao Haifeng said with relief.

"These are all trivial matters, but on the captain's side, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble the captain to report the good news."

Li Weidong said at this time.

"I'm going?"

Zhao Haifeng was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head.

"No, this is your credit, and it should be you who tell the captain the good news, what kind of business am I going to do?"

"You're the captain of the Sixth Farm, and this sweet potato is on your farm, who are you going to go if you don't go?

What's more, my current identity doesn't belong here, and it's not convenient to go there, so I'm still bothering you, captain. ”

Li Weidong shook his head.

Although he has no major contradictions with Zhang Xingwu, since Wang Zhenyi, Xiang Tianming's incident, and the actual combat exercise, there has actually been a deep rift in the relationship between the two sides.

The only thing that can still be maintained now may be these upcoming Weidong No. 1s.

It is also the time for Li Weidong to let the other party fulfill his promise.

Regarding whether the other party will regret it, Li Weidong is not worried at all.

Zhang Xingwu is a smart person, and he pays more attention to personal merits, which cannot be hidden from Li Weidong at all.

It is precisely because of this that the other party will definitely not let go of this big dish in front of him.

Even if Weidong No. 1 was cultivated by him Li Weidong, even if it was in the sixth farm, but the sixth farm would not be under his control?

On the contrary, even if it doesn't matter, Zhang Xingwu has to find a way to intervene, not to mention that this is on his turf.

As long as he beckons gently, no one can snatch away the merit that belongs to him.

In this case, Li Weidong is his closest comrade-in-arms.

The rift that used to be, this will naturally disappear.

At least in this matter, the other party will not only not be embarrassed by Li Weidong, but will be more eager than Li Weidong.

"Okay, then I'll go."

Zhao Haifeng thought about it and agreed.

Then he put on his shoes, didn't even bother to wash his hands, got on his bicycle, and went straight to the prison.

After just waiting for about twenty minutes, a jeep pulled up a puff of dust and drove quickly into the Sixth Farm, and then when there was no way, two people jumped out of the car, it was Zhang Xingwu and Zhao Haifeng.

According to the distance, I am afraid that Zhao Haifeng has just arrived at Zhang Xingwu's office, and the other party will not say a word and let the two of them drive over, and even Zhao Haifeng's bicycle will be left in the prison.

"Weidong, when did you come over? Why don't you go to the prison and sit down? ”

Zhang Xingwu said with a smile on his face after a distance.

However, his eyes were vigorously looking at the baskets full of sweet potatoes on the side, as if he had seen something rare.

"I also didn't come long ago, and I wanted to surprise the captain, so I first asked Captain Zhao to pick up an acre of sweet potatoes, and only when the yield came out did I dare to report."

Li Weidong said neatly.

"The yield matter has just been on the road, Captain Zhao has already told me, the yield per mu is 1752 catties, right?"

At the mention of this, Zhang Xingwu's eyes were full of eagerness.

This is big news.

With his previous relationship, he can definitely get on the newspaper as soon as possible, and countless people will know about this matter at that time, and his name Zhang Xingwu is naturally indispensable.

In this way, won't merit come?

The only problem now is that because of some false reports back then, such as the yield of 10,000 catties of wheat per mu, people will instinctively doubt this kind of news.

But it doesn't matter, he will find a few more newspapers and a few model workers to come here to pick sweet potatoes together, and then show the real output.

I believe that there are so many model workers as guarantees, and everyone will believe it.

Of course, his real purpose is not to show those ordinary people, but to the leaders above.

And if the leader wants to verify whether it is true, it is even simpler, and when the time comes, a few acres will be left, waiting for the leader to send someone to accept.

After such a combination of punches, all the face of the inside has been earned.

"Yes, since the captain is here, do you want to let them pick up another acre?"

Although the sweet potatoes are there right now, Zhang Xingwu didn't see it with his own eyes after all, so he naturally had some doubts in his heart, so Li Weidong simply proposed.

"Okay."

Zhang Xingwu hesitated, but did not refuse.

After all, he really had a little doubt in his heart.

This kind of thing is cheating, not to mention others, he has done it himself, and it is precisely because of this that he can't trust others, only himself.

Wait for himself to verify it with his own eyes, and then he can mobilize his past connections to promote it.

Otherwise, if he makes an oolong, he himself will be implicated.

That's more than worth the loss.

"Captain Zhao, I can only work hard for you anymore."

Zhang Xingwu simply said to Zhao Haifeng by himself.

"What's this, I just saw such a high yield, I have a little drum in my heart, let's verify it once, and it is also a serious and responsible attitude."

Zhao Haifeng naturally would not refuse Zhang Xingwu's proposal, and said immediately.

"Yes, we have to be serious and responsible in doing things, and we have to be responsible for *****."

Zhang Xingwu said solemnly.

Excavation was then carried out again.

With the experience just now, this time it was faster, and under Zhang Xingwu's personal witness, an acre of land was quickly cleared out, and even in this process, Zhang Xingwu personally went to the field twice in person.

However, looking at his appearance, it is not for supervision, but to measure the area of the acre of land, to see if it is really one acre of land, don't get one and a half acres of land at that time, pretend to be one acre.

This kind of thing has not happened before.

After confirming it himself, Zhang Xingwu put his mind at ease, and then began to pay attention to the sweet potatoes that were picked up from the ground, especially the big one, and let him start it himself, pick it up and weigh it constantly.

In this process, Zhang Xingwu also did it himself, and he also deliberately took the scale himself and studied it, and only started after making sure that there was no problem with it.

It didn't take long for the yield of this acre of land to be counted.

1833 pounds.

Compared with the acre that was picked up before, it is even more than 80 catties.

The examples of the two plots of land are there, and Zhang Xingwu personally verified them, and they are basically inseparable.

It can be seen that the smile on Zhang Xingwu's face is obviously bigger, and the gaze that looks at Li Weidong has directly increased a lot of favorability.

"Weidong, do you have time for the past two days?

I'm going to go find the newspaper tomorrow, no, later, and invite them to report tomorrow, and you can rest assured that I will never break my promise to you.

I will use all my connections to make Weidong No. 1 famous.

If you have any other requirements, you can also tell me directly, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse. ”

Zhang Xingwu said directly.

Now, naturally, it is time to talk about conditions.

Zhang Xingwu's meaning is clear, I will agree to all your Li Weidong's requests, and even do my best to help you publicize, but I can't help you in vain, right?

What do I get in exchange?

This is Zhang Xingwu's subtext.

"Captain, the reason why I decided to cultivate Weidong No. 1 was mainly because I grew up in the countryside and was often hungry when I was a child, so I always had an idea in my heart, that is, I hope that one day in the future, I can do something and not let so many people go hungry.

So by chance, I learned about the greenhouse, and then I went to consult Professor Zhao, and got Professor Zhao's approval, so I started the cultivation of Weidong No. 1.

With the help of Professor Zhao, there were finally some results.

Therefore, I hope that the scale of the experimental fields can be increased in the future, for example, the six major farms under our prison will be planted next year.

Even in the future, we can turn the six major farms into special cultivation bases.

Every year, they are only responsible for planting this kind of Weidong No. 1, and then supply it to the surrounding rural areas, and even other provinces, so that they can plant Weidong No. 1 earlier and grow more grain.

In this way, it is enough.

I wonder if the captain can fulfill my little wish? ”

Li Weidong started telling stories again, and even because of his previous experience, this time he was even more proficient.

Not to mention Zhang Xingwu, even the people around him were silent when they heard it, and they all looked at Li Weidong with a very complicated gaze.

There was also admiration in that gaze.

"Weidong, your little wish makes me feel guilty, I didn't pay attention to this matter, so I want to apologize to you.

But don't worry, starting from next year, as long as it is the season to plant sweet potatoes, the six major farms will not plant anything else, and all of them will be planted on Weidong No. 1.

As I told you, let the six major buildings become the base for supplying Weidong No. 1 seeds, we can't just take care of ourselves, and let more people plant Weidong No. 1 one day earlier. ”

Zhang Xingwu is worthy of being an old fox-level character, and for some aspects, he has a keen sense of smell.

When Li Weidong proposed to build the six farms into a special seedling supply base, he understood that the opportunity had come.

Compared with the production of other foods, how can it be important to supply seedlings directly?

After all, grain can be bought, and even when you don't grow sweet potatoes, you can grow grain, and it doesn't delay things.

It's nothing more than a change of name.

But in this way, the importance of the six farms on the prison side has been greatly increased.

What is it?

It's a political achievement!

But for Li Weidong, it is also earned.

Because the earlier and wider the promotion of Weidong No. 1, the greater his benefits.

For him, it's a golden body.
