Scholars in the courtyard

Just as the uncle and the two were rushing to Guangdong by car, Yang Xiaotao was also riding in the car and arrived in Chaoyang.

"When I came here last time, the surrounding area was still green."

"Now, the ground is full of gold!"

Yang Xiaotao sat in the passenger seat and looked at the fields on both sides of the road. Not far away, there were people starting to harvest in the fields.

Xiaobo drove the car and just nodded after hearing what Yang Xiaotao said.

He has been in the north, and this is the first time he has seen this kind of water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

It’s just that with so much food grown, there must be a lot to be harvested.

With food, people no longer need to go hungry!

"Do you feel like there's a lot of food?"

As if he could see what Xiaobo was thinking, Yang Xiaotao spoke softly from the side.

Xiaobo nodded, "Yes, there is so much food!"

"Is it much?"

Yang Xiaotao asked with a smile.

Xiaobo frowned. He didn't know much about the field. He just held the steering wheel tightly and waited for Yang Xiaotao to speak.

“Farming is a technical job!”

"Our country has thousands of years of history and has its own mature farming methods. Even each place has its own unique habits!"

“People plant crops according to the weather and then enjoy the gifts of the land!”

Xiaobo nodded and said nothing. This is something that everyone has been familiar with since ancient times.

But what Yang Xiaotao said next shocked him.

Just listen to Yang Xiaotao say, "But there is a limit to this kind of grabbing!"

"Just like the fields you see, no matter how good the farmer is, one acre of land can only produce about three hundred kilograms of grain!"

"And how much land can a strong laborer cultivate in one year?"

"Ten acres? Twenty acres?"

"For a family of three, ten acres of land a year is only three thousand kilograms of grain."

"Then we remove the public grain that is handed over and throw away the remaining grain that is sold to the state."

"It would be good if a family can have three to five hundred catties left."

"This is still a good time, but if there is a natural disaster or man-made disaster, the whole family will starve!"

Xiaobo continued to remain silent after hearing this.

Because what Yang Xiaotao said is true.

Just like the famine three years ago.

Although he didn't go to the countryside, the situation in the city was tense, let alone the countryside.

"Then, how to increase the food supply?"

Xiaobo asked, Yang Xiaotao stretched his body with his hands behind his head.

"Two ways!"

Yang Xiaotao stretched out two fingers.

"First, the power of science, such as using chemical fertilizers, using herbicides, using greenhouse films, etc.!"

"This approach can increase the soil's carrying capacity and reduce weed competition for nutrients..."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Xiaobo saw potholes appearing on the dirt road ahead, slowed down, and then asked.

"Then the second one is the cross-breeding you mentioned, just like your Yangcun No. 1 corn, right?"

Yang Xiaotao smiled, "Yes, that's it!"

"Hybrid corn, the dominant species, thus obtaining higher yields!"

Then he sat upright and held the handle to keep steady, "I once told the chief. High-yielding corn can solve the food problem in the north."

"The hybrid rice here can solve the country's food problems."

Xiaobo's heart trembled and he took a breath of cold air.

In the previous sentence, Yang Xiaotao has proved with practical actions that the emergence of Yangcun No. 1 has enriched the food supply of the people in the north.

Even exported corn grains can earn a large amount of foreign exchange every year.

And the last sentence...

Most of the country's population is concentrated in the Jiangnan area!

Thinking of this, I became more and more curious about the hybrid rice I was about to see.

Yang Xiaotao knew that he was shocked when Xiaobo didn't speak, but he was just following him.

When super rice comes out in the future, the yield will be more than three times, not to mention thirty times!

"So, no one can destroy such a good thing, such an important thing!"

Xiaobo tightened his grip on the steering wheel and said in a solemn tone, "Whoever dares to reach out will be chopped off!"

Behind, on the jeep.

Hao Pingchuan leaned back in his chair while Wang Hao drove the car.

Originally, the four of them could drive one car, but considering the car problem, they ordered two.

For this purpose, a barrel of gasoline is also carried in the bucket.

"Captain Hao, were you here last time?"

Wang Hao asked as he followed the car in front.

Hao Pingchuan hummed, "I came here with Director Yu last time. That time, I met a group of unruly people and almost got into trouble!"

Hao Pingchuan thought of what happened last time and couldn't help but sigh, "If it hadn't happened last time, it would have happened long ago!"

"It's all those bastards!"

Hao Pingchuan thought about the enemy he faced and couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said bitterly.

Then he explained what happened last time, and Wang Hao couldn't help but be speechless.

I don’t understand why people in this village do this.

If it were left in Sijiu City and I heard that there were such good grain seeds, would it be too late to take care of them?

"They are all deceived by others, so education must continue, otherwise you will not know the good or bad, and it will be easy to do stupid things and bad things!"

"That's right!"

Wang Hao agreed, remembering that Yang Xiaotao forced them to endorse in the factory, and he admired Yang Xiaotao's foresight even more.

If they don't endorse it, they might become "accomplices".

"By the way, I heard Mr. Yang talk a lot about hybrid rice. Is this the same as hybrid corn?"

"How much do you think the output can be increased?"

Wang Hao asked. He had been to the northwest in recent years and had seen the situation of hybrid corn. He also understood the benefits that the emergence of hybrid corn brought to them.

At least after paying the public surplus grain, the people in the surrounding villages no longer had to eat wild vegetables and starve for a year!

It was just unclear whether hybrid rice could be the same as hybrid corn.

Hao Pingchuan was a little confused about Wang Hao's question. He really didn't know about it.

"Well, how much did your hybrid corn increase the yield? Do you know?"

"Hey, I really know this. In the past two years, I have followed General Manager Yang to the northwest several times, and I have also been to Yangjia Village several times."

"This ordinary corn, the cob is small, the grain is small, the best land only has an output of 350 to 60 kilograms per mu, and the average land is about 300 kilograms!"

"This Yangcun No. 1, even the ordinary land has 600 to 700 kilograms, and the better ones can have more than 1,000 kilograms!"

After Wang Hao finished speaking, Hao Pingchuan moved his fingers and his heart trembled.

Last time when he protected Yang Xiaotao in Shanghai, he didn't feel anything, but now after hearing what Wang Hao said, he realized how important what Yang Xiaotao did was.

The yield per mu will increase by two or three times.

This is equivalent to increasing the national grain by two or three times.

In this way, the family originally had enough food for half a year, but now there is still surplus after a year, and they can raise one more child.

Having come out of that difficult era, he naturally knows the feeling of not having enough to eat, and has seen the tragic situation of brothers and sisters starving to death!

"So this hybrid rice, even if it is only doubled, is a major event that benefits the country and the people!"

"We have to keep an eye on it and protect it!"

Hao Pingchuan suddenly spoke irrelevant words, but Wang Hao understood the meaning.

This good thing is just like the machine tools in the machinery factory.

The jeep drove on the winding road for more than an hour, thanks to the good maintenance of these cars, and they did not fall off the chain at the critical moment.

During the period, they encountered three checkpoints, all of which were to check people coming and going.

Obviously, the protection force was deliberately increased around the experimental field.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the car arrived in the town.

As soon as he got off the car, Yang Xiaotao saw two people walking not far away.

It must be Teacher Yuan and Yu Hua.

Yang Xiaotao jumped out of the car and walked up to them.

"Brother Yuan!"

"Brother Yang!"

The two were very happy to meet each other, "On behalf of the comrades in the research group, I welcome you!"

Yang Xiaotao patted Teacher Yuan's arm, "I'll come, I can't help with other things, I'm just here to witness history."

"But you, brother, are dark again!"

Yang Xiaotao looked at Teacher Yuan who was on his shoulder and couldn't help but joked.

Teacher Yuan smiled happily, "It's better to be a little darker, there are farmers who are not dark!"

Then he looked at Xiaobo and the others, "It's abnormal if they are not dark!"

While talking, Xiaobo and Wang Hao saw him wearing a loose white coat, with mud on his calves under his rolled-up trouser legs, a bamboo hat hanging behind his back, and a rope around his neck, just like an old farmer in the countryside.

Hao Pingchuan had seen Teacher Yuan before, so he was not surprised by his appearance.

The two were shocked to see this, he didn't look like a researcher.

At the very least, they should be like Yang Xiaotao, with a little bookish air!

When the two saw Teacher Yuan looking at them, they smiled and nodded.

No matter what else, this is someone that Mr. Yang values, and Brother Yuan has called him up, this is a treatment that Guan Zhiyong and Sun Guo don't have!

Yang Xiaotao looked at Yu Hua again.

"Teacher Yang!"

"Well, your body has recovered well. I heard that you and An Ran are about to have a child?"

"Sure, you got the senior sister, great!"

"By the way, after marriage, she didn't bully you!"

Yu Hua still looked honest, and smiled at Yang Xiaotao's jokes.

"It's okay, Senior Sister An Ran is still very gentle!"

After saying this, Teacher Yuan laughed first.

One's own students know it well.

An Ran, that girl, is completely a boy.

Yu Hua is an honest baby.

Sometimes I really hope that they can change their temperaments.

But it's good this way, at least someone can tolerate An Ran.

Teacher Yuan smiled, Yu Hua looked even more embarrassed, but Yang Xiaotao went up the mountain and hugged her shoulders, "It seems that An Ran's tenderness is all given to you!"

After the voice fell, there was another round of laughter.

After everyone met, they got in the car and went to the base together.

In the car, Yang Xiaotao and Teacher Yuan sat in the back seat, Xiaobo drove, and Yu Hua sat in the co-pilot.

"Brother Yang, I didn't take care of it last time, but I've reserved a pond of rice field fish for you this time!"

After Teacher Yuan finished speaking, Yu Hua also turned around, "Teacher said when we released the water last time that the fish would be kept for you!"

Yang Xiaotao patted Teacher Yuan's arm, "Brother, you are thoughtful, so you must eat this fish!"

"By the way, has the thresher I mentioned last time arrived?"

"It's here, it's here!"

Teacher Yuan said happily, "The machine was delivered to our base, and people from the surrounding villages came to see it!"

"We took it out to the next village to use it these two days. Wow, it's really fast!"

Teacher Yuan stretched out his hand and gestured, as if imitating the way rice fell.

"It's good to use. Now it's produced nationwide. After a while, this thing will be popularized, at least one in each village."

Teacher Yuan was very happy to hear this, which would save time and effort!

"Teacher Yang, we heard that the machine was made by you? It's amazing. One machine threshed all the rice in the village in two days."

"If there had been such a good machine earlier, we wouldn't have to work so hard!"

Yu Hua turned around and said, Yang Xiaotao patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, there will be better machines in the future."

"By then, sowing and harvesting can be done by one person!"

"Really? There is such a machine?"

"Of course! Look at what I do, a glorious revolutionary worker!"

"Then, how much land can we plant!"

Teacher Yuan also laughed after hearing this, "Of course, we plant as much land as we have!"

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the base.

Everyone got off the car, and Yang Xiaotao saw the squad leader Wang who was guarding last time.

However, it should be Captain Wang at this time.

Since the last assassination, the security here has doubled.

Squad leader Wang also became Captain Wang, who is responsible for the safety of the institute.

"Captain Yang!"

Captain Wang stepped forward and addressed him according to the relationship between the three offices.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward to shake hands, and Captain Wang shook his head, "It's not hard. Seeing our comrades working hard, we all think it's worth it!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded and encouraged again, and then met with the researchers at the base.

Captain Wang came to the side with Hao Pingchuan and Xiaobo to start a conversation.

The more critical the time, the more vigilant you must be!

Yang Xiaotao met with the researchers one by one.

It was An Ran's turn. Seeing her big belly, she looked like a lady.

After the two met, Yang Xiaotao presented the gifts he brought, which were all prepared before departure, including milk powder for children and some supplements.

Everyone met, and then enthusiastically let them in.
