Chapter 72 Improving Rice Seeds
Today's spring rain is heavy, and it is almost about to cause flooding.
Captain Tang stood in the room and looked at the heavy rain outside, knocking the old smoking gun down.
"Let's plant more rice this year, and plant less sweet potatoes and corn."
"I agree, I heard that a batch of excellent rice seeds from country X came to the provincial capital, and the yield is very high, what do you think?" Captain Tang re-lit the smoking gun.
"And this good thing?" The spirit of the village party secretary was shocked, "How high is the output?" ”
Last year's drought greatly reduced grain production, resulting in a shortage of grain for every household, and if it had not been for the brigade's foresight to grow a lot of sweet potatoes, people would certainly have starved to death. I heard that there were people dying of hunger in the commune next door. Food is the life of farmers, and even one percent more grain can save many people's lives.
"The output can be 30% more." Captain Tang spit out a cigarette, "The captain of the Red Flag Brigade has come to me to tell me, if you agree, I will go with the captain of the Red Flag Brigade tomorrow to get this good seed." ”
"Sancheng! So what are you waiting for, I will definitely agree. Vice Captain Qi said, "Old Tang, don't you want to take credit alone. ”
"Who do you think of me? Isn't this a consultation with you? I saw that the money in the account was just enough. ”
The village party secretary was a little hesitant: "Are the rice varieties of country X so good?" Will there be any problems with rushing to change rice seeds? ”
"This is also what I am worried about, but the captain of the Red Flag Brigade patted his chest and assured me that this is the most advanced rice seed in country X, and the yield is indeed so high. And the commune agreed, and each brigade would change to this improved rice seed. ”
"Then let's do it."
The next day, Captain Tang set off with the other captains of the commune.
Two days later, Captain Tang rang the village bell and announced to everyone that there was an improvement of rice seeds this year.
"This is an improved rice seed from country X, which has been successfully planted in a small number of trials, and is now being rolled out to the whole country, and the yield is predicted to be three layers higher than before. This year, let's all plant more rice and make up for last year's losses! ”
"Good!" The audience applauded.
Liu Xinyi listened to the audience, and sure enough, except for Grandma Hao's matter, everything else was the same as in the previous world, the same "improved" rice seeds.
What Captain Tang most didn't expect was that this so-called "improved" rice seed was just a conspiracy of country X, and the ears of rice that would be produced at that time would be full, but they would be empty shells. This year's "improved" rice is planted, and what awaits the peasants is only empty shells and no grain. I don't know how many people will starve to death by then.
So in this life, do you want to persuade Captain Tang to give up this rice seed?
Shen Ruoqing felt very familiar when he heard it in the audience, he seemed to have heard this when he had heard this in country X, when had he heard it?
Shen Ruoqing was a little anxious, she had to stop all this from happening! But how is she going to speak?
"Captain Tang, I think the risk of changing to a new rice seed at this time is too great, and no one knows how much the final yield of this rice seed is.
Shen Ruoqing was stunned, and walked towards this abrupt voice, and it was actually Liu Xinyi who spoke!
"Liu Xinyi, what do you mean by that?" Being questioned, Captain Tang was naturally a little unhappy.
"Captain, I'm just worried, I suggest that this improved rice seed try to plant a small part first, this year we will still use the original rice seed, if the improved rice seed is really so high, we will not be too late to plant a large area. Who knows what this alien rice seed is like? ”
As soon as Liu Xinyi's words came out, everyone began to discuss.
"Yes, we don't know what this foreign rice seed is."
"Didn't you hear from the captain, this output can be increased by 30%! And isn't it already a successful trial? I look at Xinyi's girl and I'm just worrying! ”
"It's said that it's the most advanced agricultural technology in country X, so it must be good. If we don't plant and everyone else does, then we won't be lagging behind, I heard that the Red Flag Brigade has already begun to plant! ”
"Captain Tang, I'm just making a suggestion, if you don't adopt it, it doesn't matter, of course I still believe in the captain. But if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, even if we are a late season, it is the same as in previous years, there is no big loss, but what if something goes wrong? Where will everyone earn their rations then? Liu Xinyi said the original words of Shen Ruoqing in her previous life, Shen Ruoqing was able to save Dashi Village in her previous life and gain the admiration of the villagers, and it was her turn Liu Xinyi in this life.
"What do you female doll know, what is no loss, if we don't plant, we will lose a full thirty percent of our income compared to others! Is this still called no loss? Vice Captain Qi reprimanded.
"Captain Tang, in fact, I also think that this matter of improving rice varieties can be experimented in an experimental field first, and it is not too late to promote it when it is confirmed." Mu Bai said, and glanced at Liu Xinyi.
Liu Xinyi noticed Mu Bai's gaze, and was secretly happy in her heart, worthy of being the man she fancied, this insight is long-term, and now she should leave an impression in Mu Bai's heart, right?
There was a lot of talking.
"What the girl of the Liu family said also has a certain amount of truth, so let's discuss the matter of rice planting this time later." Captain Tang discussed with the village party secretary for a while, and finally said.
"If anyone else has suggestions, please come and dismiss!"
Liu Xinyi glanced at Shen Ruoqing proudly, she knew that in the end, Captain Tang's decision would be to keep half of the land to plant the original rice seeds.
When the time comes, Captain Tang and even the entire team will owe her Liu Xinyi's favor!
Shen Ruoqing has been paying attention to Liu Xinyi's side, and Shen Ruoqing has also seen the eyes that Liu Xinyi cast. What's the matter with her smug look? However, Liu Xinyi can be regarded as doing a good thing, and there must be something wrong with this batch of improved rice seeds. I don't know if Captain Tang will insist on changing species in the end.
When he got home, Shen Xiangnan said, "Little sister, I see that your face just now has been bad, are you not feeling well?" ”
"Baby, what's wrong with you? Let my mother take a look. Mrs. Ji hurried to see Shen Ruoqing.
"Mom, I'm fine, I'm just wondering if this improved rice seed will be a trap. Do you think this improved rice seed will be implemented? ”
"Why don't you have an idea with that Liu Xinyi, what can be wrong with this, the whole commune is planting this rice seed, where will there be any problems, if there is a problem with this rice seed......" Shen Xiangxi's face changed as he spoke.
"If there is a problem with this rice seed, not only our brigade, but also the entire commune, even the nearby commune, and even most of the country, will have a big problem!" Shen Xiangnan muttered, "Little sister, are you sure that there is something wrong with this rice seed?" ”
