Chapter 938: Hybrid Rice

The peasants' faces were filled with the joy of a good harvest, the workers were busy in the workshop, the machines roared, and there was a scene of prosperity everywhere......

Chu Ze suddenly got up and strode out of the study.

He immediately summoned agricultural experts and officials to discuss plans to promote hybrid rice.

He firmly believes that as long as we work together, we will be able to create a new era in which agriculture and industry go hand in hand!

As soon as Yang Cai and Wu Ping walked out of the palace, they saw a chamberlain running in a hurry, and said breathlessly: "Lord Yang, Lord Wu Ping, the prince is invited!" It is said that there is an important agricultural plan to announce! ”

The two of them looked at each other, and they were both shocked.

Yang Cai asked, "Agricultural plan?" It's ......"

Wu Ping also looked puzzled and said, "I don't know what the prince has?" Let's go see the prince quickly! ”

The two of them quickly followed the chamberlain and returned to the palace.

I saw that Chu Ze had been waiting in the main hall for a long time, and there were several uncommon faces standing beside him.

When Chu Ze saw the two, his face was overjoyed, and he waved them forward.

"Yang Cai, Wu Ping, you came just in time! I've just discussed a big plan with these agricultural experts to promote hybrid rice across the country! ”

"Hybrid rice?" Yang Cai and Wu Ping were both stunned, and then suddenly realized.

"The prince is wise! If hybrid rice can be promoted, it will greatly increase grain production and solve the agricultural dilemma! ”

Chu Ze nodded and smiled: "That's right." We need to select high-quality seed sources across the country and breed high-yield hybrid rice varieties. At the same time, it is necessary to vigorously publicize the advantages of hybrid rice and encourage farmers to plant it. It is also necessary to send special personnel to guide the peasants to master the planting techniques of hybrid rice to ensure a bumper harvest. ”

Yang Cai said excitedly: "The prince is really a clever calculation! Wechen is willing to contribute to the promotion of hybrid rice, even if he breaks his leg! ”

Wu Ping also generously stated: "The prince's decision-making is wise, and Weichen will support it with all his might!" Provide sufficient funds and material support for hybrid rice projects! ”

Chu Ze nodded with satisfaction, looked around at everyone, and said with a firm and powerful gaze: "Everyone, the promotion of hybrid rice is related to the national fortune of my Ming Dynasty. Agriculture and industry, like the wings of a bird, hold up this great era together. Let us go hand in hand to create a prosperous era where the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is rich and the people are strong! ”

"Swear to work with the prince to create a prosperous world!" Yang Cai, Wu Ping and agricultural experts shouted in unison, and their voices resounded through the sky.

Chu Ze waved his hand and said, "You guys go back and think about it first, write down any thoughts in your heart, and come over for a meeting tomorrow morning."

Everyone received the order and retreated one after another.

Yang Cai and Wu Ping glanced at each other, their eyes full of excitement and determination.

They are well aware that a magnificent agricultural revolution is quietly emerging in this ancient land.

Chu Ze stood alone at the door, looking at the backs of everyone in the distance, with a confident smile on the corner of his mouth.

He thought to himself: "Hybrid rice, this is a dangerous move, but it is also a key step for the Ming Dynasty to take off." As long as agriculture is stable, industry has a solid backing. At that time, who can stop the rise of my Daming? ”

The seeds of hybrid rice are taking root in this ancient land, ready to start a new era.

In the early morning of the next day, when the first rays of sunlight poured into the main hall of the Fengyang Palace, Chu Ze had been waiting in front of the case for a long time.

His expression was solemn, but there was a firmness and confidence between his eyebrows.

He slowly got up and paced to the window.

The streets of Fengyang City gradually became noisy, and the peasants carried hoes on their shoulders and walked towards the fields facing the rising sun.

"These industrious and simple peasants, you have worked the land all your life, but you have never been able to shake off the shackles of poverty." Chu Ze's eyes were full of pity and said, "I hope that hybrid rice can bring you new hope and make your life better day by day!" ”

He let out a long sigh and turned back to the desk.

At this time, Yang Cai, Zhao Si, Wu Ping and others entered the main hall one after another, saluted Chu Ze and sat down in turn.

Chu Ze looked around at everyone and said slowly: "Everyone, yesterday we discussed the promotion of hybrid rice, and everyone must have thought about it. I have convened you today to further discuss the specific implementation plan. ”

When everyone heard this, their expressions became solemn.

Yang Cai was the first to speak: "Lord Qiyu, Weichen thinks that in order to promote hybrid rice, we must first establish a special institution responsible for research, cultivation and promotion. Wechen suggested the establishment of the Department of Agronomy, recruiting agricultural experts and talents, brainstorming, and jointly advancing this matter. ”

"Faculty of Agriculture......" Chu Ze thought thoughtfully, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, that's a great idea! The agricultural revolution requires a solid think tank, and the establishment of the Faculty of Agriculture is imperative. ”

Zhao Si also spoke: "Lord Wang, Weichen thinks that in addition to absorbing agricultural experts, the Department of Agriculture should also pay attention to the practical experience of grassroots farmers. After all, hybrid rice has to take root in the fields of thousands of households, and without the support and participation of farmers, it is difficult to implement even the best policies. ”

"Zhao Si is right." Chu Ze nodded approvingly: "Farmers have been with the land for generations, and they have the most simple and profound understanding of the land. The Faculty of Agriculture should learn from them with an open mind and let them become the main force in the promotion of hybrid rice! ”

Wu Ping also offered advice: "Lord Wang, after the establishment of the Department of Agriculture, we will also formulate detailed incentive policies to encourage farmers to plant hybrid rice. For example, preferential treatment in terms of taxes, loans, purchases, etc., so that farmers can see the tangible benefits of growing hybrid rice. ”

"Good!" Chu Ze said categorically: "What farmers care about most is their own interests. If planting hybrid rice can make their money bags bulge, they will naturally participate actively. The household department should show sincerity and come up with real preferential policies! ”

When Wu Ping heard this, he said excitedly: "The prince is wise! Wechen will do his best to implement the preferential policies and let the farmers enjoy the dividends brought by hybrid rice! ”

Everyone said a word, each expressed their opinions, and the discussion in the conference room was in full swing.

Chu Ze listened carefully, sometimes nodding, sometimes groaning.

He secretly sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, there are many people with a wide range of wisdom, and the wisdom of everyone is a big picture." With the help of these good ministers, I believe that the promotion of hybrid rice will be carried out smoothly. ”

He stood up and slowly looked around at the crowd: "What you said is very true. The establishment of the Faculty of Agronomy, the formulation of preferential policies, and the participation of grassroots farmers are all key links in the promotion of hybrid rice. This king requires that a detailed plan must be formulated in the shortest possible time, and it must be implemented to the letter! ”

"Yes!" All the ministers agreed in unison, and all of them were high-spirited.
