Scholars in the courtyard

boom

The old man patted the table, and there were seven or eight people sitting next to him, all of whom were responsible for the party.

At this moment, everyone put down their work and gathered here collectively, obviously for something important.

Among them, Dean Deng Boxian is prominently listed.

Next to him was his cousin, whom Yang Xiaotao shamelessly recognized as his uncle.

However, these two people here were just sitting on the edge, listening to the conversations of the elderly people in the middle.

"Too outrageous."

"The alliance in the north, Baldhead, Little Days, and the United States, even Britain is also coming to join in the fun. Okay, how many coalition forces are there this time?"

"The scar is healed and the pain is forgotten. It just needs a beating!"

After the old man finished speaking, he was still angry while sitting on the chair. He looked at the gray-haired old man next to him, holding a cigarette in his hand and keeping silent, but he didn't smoke. He was so anxious.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of lighting a fire, he reached out and pinched the cigarette from his finger.

The thin old man on the other side shook his head helplessly. The doctor's advice was in vain, they should not have brought cigarettes.

Fortunately, I had already said hello in advance, so I brought cigarettes but no matches.

"We must fight! Our comrades have already taken action, and none of those who came forward can escape."

"Don't let any of them go!"

Even though his cigarette was taken away, the gray-haired old man didn't care. His words were still sonorous, but his face looked a little tired.

The heavy burden was on his shoulders, and he didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.

But he is no longer young, and his energy cannot keep up.

Just like what happened today, I realized how serious the consequences were only after it happened.

Especially the matter of Zajia Rice.

After learning about it, the meeting was immediately held.

"Comrade Boxian, please tell me more about hybrid rice."

The old man spoke, and Dean Deng nodded quickly, and then took out two reports from the briefcase he was carrying.

"Dear heads, our Academy of Agricultural Sciences, inspired by high-yielding corn, has established a hybrid experimental support program to promote the development and growth of domestic agriculture..."

He said and handed the two reports forward.

"Now it seems that the implementation of the plan in the past few years has been very successful. It has not only continued to progress and develop high-yielding corn, but also promoted and expanded it to allow large-scale planting in the country to alleviate domestic food pressure. It has also been used for the export of improved varieties..."

Everyone nodded frequently when Dean Deng said what he said, especially the grey-haired old man who was even more pleased. It was the high-yielding corn that allowed the country to quickly replenish its vitality after three years of difficulties. Sometimes he thought about what would happen if there was no such high-yielding corn. Corn, what a difficult environment he faces!

Several other people also knew it well.

Then I listened to Dean Deng continue to report.

“In addition to high-yielding corn, preliminary results have now been discovered, and hybrid wheat and hybrid rice are making rapid progress, and preliminary results have been seen!”

After saying this, everyone in the room was very encouraged.

Uncle Deng, who was sitting next to him, also nodded frequently and took advantage of the space to speak to ask.

"If we can successfully research wheat and rice, it will be of great significance to domestic development."

The thin old man answered and affirmed. After speaking, he looked at Dean Deng who was standing aside, "Comrade Boxian, what are the results of these two studies? Do you have any reference?"

Dean Deng immediately said, "Regarding these two studies, we currently have no actual data to prove it!"

"How strong and good hybrid rice is, I have never seen it, and I don't know the details."

"But Comrade Yang Xiaotao, the leader of our technical team, once made a joke. He said that Yangcun No. 1 can feed most of the northerners."

"Hybrid rice can feed people all over the world."

"I don't know if this is true, but I am willing to believe in Comrade Yang Xiaotao's vision."

"So, I hope that all heads of state can pay great attention to hybrid rice research."

"This is something that will only last forever."

Dean Deng tried hard to control his inner uneasiness and said what he had always wanted to say but dared not say at this moment.

The room suddenly fell silent, telling everyone's thoughts.

The thin old man immediately looked at everyone after hearing this, "Comrade Boxian is right. Previous high-yielding corn has proven the changes this kind of research has brought to the country."

"I remember that last year's corn production tripled compared to the year before."

"This means that twice as many people can live on this food and can better support revolutionary construction."

After the old man finished speaking, Uncle Deng, who was beside Dean Deng, was stroking the lighter in his pocket and said, "I agree with you guys."

"Whether it's hybridization, genes, or production tools, this illustrates a fact."

"That is, technology is the primary productive force."

"The progress of science and technology can promote the development of society and inject more vitality into revolutionary construction."

"So we must pay attention to these technologies and protect them."

These words resonated with everyone present. The thin old man kept nodding his head in agreement, "Technology is the primary productive force. This sums it up well."

"We just need to use technological weapons to strengthen ourselves."

Ahem

After a long time, the gray-haired old man who spoke just now said, "This matter is my fault."

"I ignored it. Without the reminder from my comrades, I would have continued to make mistakes."

“It’s not too late to mend the situation before it’s too late.”

The thin old man next to him enlightened, "Besides, this matter is not your responsibility alone. I have also received news about this, but I didn't pay attention to it, so that this situation happened."

At this time, the only lady present put down the fan in her hand, and then used a slightly Shanghainese accent to attract the attention of several people.

"We didn't pay attention to this matter, let alone the comrades below who implemented it."

"Do unto others, do not impose on others."

"So, this matter must be picked up high and put down gently. While attacking the enemy, we must not hurt the feelings of the people."

"right!"

The old man habitually held the cigarette in his mouth, but he couldn't find a match and couldn't light it, so he was anxious.

"Sir, what you said makes sense."

"This matter must be looked at separately, both in front of the eyes and behind."

The old man couldn't find any matches, so he got up, held a cigarette, waved his hand and said his opinion.

"Right now, we just need to handle this matter well."

"We will not let go of any lawless elements who undermine the revolution and endanger the people."

As he spoke, he walked up to Dean Deng, twitched his nose, and then patted Dean Deng on the shoulder very cordially, "In the long run, this is because we don't pay enough attention to emerging industries and special industries."

"In the future, we must strengthen our awareness of protection in this area."

"Yes, that's what I want to say."

The gray-haired old man nodded, "So, I'm thinking about whether to issue a protection policy."

"The confidentiality level of these plans may not be high, just like a machinery factory. Everyone knows what it does, but its role in industrial construction and revolutionary construction is not small."

"There is also research on these improved seeds, and if they are put to good use, they will be of great benefit to the country!"

"So, in order to avoid being damaged, and also to avoid unknown people being deceived, which would lead to the current situation."

"I think these special industries and departments must be given certain protection."

"So, I would like to submit a special protection for the relevant departments. Specifically designed to protect these personnel, departments, and even factories."

After the old man finished speaking, without waiting for everyone to think, the old man holding the cigarette in his hand nodded immediately, "I agree, this is a good idea."

"With this amulet, our comrades doing research can do it with confidence and boldness."

"Our industry can also make great strides forward!"

"In my opinion, it's best to be managed directly by the headquarters. Except for us, no one else is allowed to touch it without orders!"

"What do you think?"

The thin old man raised his hand first.

"I agree."

"In fact, now the First Machinery Department, the Second Machinery Department and the Seventh Machinery Department already have this kind of internal protection measures, and the effect is very good."

"It not only avoids the prying eyes of external forces, but also avoids internal strife. Especially the Hongxing Machinery Factory under the jurisdiction of the First Machinery Department has now become the leading industry of the First Machinery Department, involving all aspects, and even industrial construction has begun in the northwest. .”

"All of this shows that these special industries cannot be treated like ordinary factories!"

After the thin old man finished speaking, the gray-haired old man beside him nodded in praise, "That's right. I only got this idea when I saw the machine factory!"

"It's just that these are just certain protections."

"Without the official confirmation from the headquarters, there are still some inherent shortcomings."

As the old man expressed his position, others gradually agreed.

They can not understand the conditions of various industries, but they cannot understand their value and cannot protect them.

After some exchanges, several people reached an agreement.

"This matter must be submitted as soon as possible and completed as soon as possible!"

"This same thing can't happen again!"

"Okay, I'll sort it out when I get back, pass the vote as soon as possible, and then promulgate it."

Everyone talked, and then began to discuss the content of the relevant regulations, the scope of application of the order, and under what circumstances one can apply.

The meeting ended quickly, and everyone left immediately to go about their business.

"Wait a moment."

When Uncle Deng saw the old man calling him to stop, he immediately stopped.

After the others left, there were only two people left in the room. The old man immediately stepped forward to close the door, and then came closer.

"What do you want to order?"

"It's not much, the main thing is to lend a hand!"

As he said this, the old man lifted up the cigarette. The meeting made him anxious to death. There was smoke but no fire, just like a battlefield with guns but no bullets. He felt uncomfortable.

"You, how do you know I have fire?"

"Here, let me smell it. You smell like smoke. Can you turn off the fire?"

As he spoke, the old man pointed to his nose.

Hearing this, he smiled bitterly, but took out a lighter from his pocket, lit it for the old man twice, "We were told not to bring fire with us when we came here."

Hearing this, the old man made a sad face and said, "Oh, it feels so uncomfortable to be controlled."

The two looked at each other, and then the colleague laughed.

"Aren't you a good lighter?"

"Haha, it's a gift from my nephew."

"Nephew? Which one?"

"Hey, I just met you. You've heard of it, Yang Xiaotao."

"That boy."

"Tell him to give me one next time. They are counting matches by number. They are too strict!"

"That's good for your health."

"It's good, but it's sad!"

The two laughed, "How's the progress of the model thing we talked about last time?"

After thinking for a moment, Uncle Deng then repeated what Yang Xiaotao said.

"Well, it's right to think about it this way. Nowadays, many eyes are staring at us. This opportunity only comes once."

"Be foolproof."

The old man's eyes were full of wisdom, "Since we are young people, let the young people deal with the young people. They are even more talkative!"

"Yes, I thought so too, so I've been waiting!"

As he spoke, the old man looked out the window, seeing bright sunshine and peace.

"We want our own big ship!"

"You can't be bullied all the time, you're too passive!"

Uncle Deng walked to the side and stood side by side, looking out the window together, "Don't worry, this time, we will definitely complete the task."

"When the time comes, let's take a big boat and go out for a spin."

The old man laughed and said, "Okay, I'll wait."
