Beside a farmland, a group of people were digging the ditches in full swing, and in the distance, several people wearing short shirts and trousers were coming over.

"Membersman, what are you digging?" When these people walked to the construction site, one of them asked.

"I didn't dig anything, I just dug some ditches." The answer was an old farmer wearing many patched clothes.

“Is it for irrigation next year?”

"Yes, the harvest of this large area of ​​fields has not been very good, because of water. But this year, Xingmin Company built a reservoir there. After the canal is repaired and diverted water from there, the harvest will be increased a lot in the future." The old farmer obviously felt a sense of joy when he spoke.

"So let's say that Xingmin Company will build this reservoir to benefit everyone?"

"It can be said that at least people from several nearby villages can use water supply, and there is no need to fight for water sources as before."

"I've had a fight before?"

"Want! Why don't you beat it? If you don't beat it, you won't have water. I don't know that you are from other places. Although we don't have water in our small river, we actually don't dare to farm by many rivers. In summer, a rain can lift the river surface and all the crops will be washed away. Now that the reservoir is in a steady state, everyone can feel at ease to use water to boil the ground."

"Oh, that's the case...what do you usually plant?"

"In the past, I could only plant some corn, peanuts, etc. Now I dare to open fields. And I went there when I built the reservoir this year and earned some wages. I planned to make more rice next year."

"Is this field yours owned?"

"No, this area belongs to our village, my family only needs two." The old farmer pointed to a new field not far away.

While talking, a man came from a distance from the canal construction site, waving his hands and shouting. The two people who had been standing next to the interviewer saw it and approached the interviewer two steps closer to the interviewer. With his right hand touched his arms.

"Don't touch me, the people here will not threaten me." The questioner stopped the actions of the two people around him in a timely manner.

Until the man ran to the front in one breath, he said with a panting and red face: "Principal Duan, why are you here?!"

The person who came was Duan Guoxue. He did not answer the student immediately, but asked him to recover before answering: "It's nothing, just come and take a look. You are..."

"My name is Wei Ping'an, from Class 12 in the Spring 16th Level." Wei Ping'an answered loudly.

"Relax! Relax! It's not in school now, don't have to be like in school. Isn't it going to class now? Why are you back?"

"I was selected by the steel factory the day before yesterday because the factory notified me that I would be very busy after a while, so I asked me to come back and pack my luggage and prepare for it." Wei Ping'an looked excited, not knowing whether it was because he was selected by the steel factory or because he met Duan Guoxue.

"Oh, then congratulations." Being selected means another talent who has basically completed the training.

"Thank you, Principal!"

"Ping'an, what did you call him?" The old farmer who had been chatting next to him suddenly couldn't figure out who the person was.

"Uncle Er, he is the principal of our school, that is, the person who paid for the construction of this reservoir. Haven't you been nagging to thank him? That's right, he is."

"What? What! Principal, oh, that's a cultural person, that principal, there's a lot of wind and dust here, and there's nothing to entertain you. Look, I don't even have to drink saliva. Ping An, hurry up and take the principal to the village, notify your family, kill two chickens, and ask your cousin to get more vegetables to entertain the principal." In the eyes of the old farmer, Duan Guoxue is a person who is even more powerful than those teachers before, otherwise he will be older than them and will take care of them.

"No, no, second uncle, don't be so polite." Looking at the nervous old farmer, Duan Guoxue sighed in his heart. For them, because of their conditions, they used to regard scholars as distinguished guests, respected guests, and were extremely respected. Although this improved the status of scholars, it also created the situation where these sour scholars were erect and did not look at the people's disconnection from the mass base, resulting in the decline of the entire country. I really don't know whether this respect is a blessing for the nation or a sorrow for the nation.

"Everyone, I just want to see what help you need."

"Principal, you have helped us build the reservoir and you have also collected your children's studies to give us a way out. How dare you ask you to help again..."

"Uncle II, I am not only helping everyone, but also helping myself. Without this reservoir, the factory on my side cannot be opened. Everyone is just helping each other. Don't stand. If we don't delay everyone's work, we will all sit. I have some things to ask everyone." After saying that, Duan Guoxue went to the edge of the canal filled with loess, and the villagers watching also looked for places to sit down when they saw this.

"Uncle Second, how much food can I collect in autumn for such newly opened fields?" Duan Guoxue took out the cigarette on his body, distributed it in a circle and asked. Men are numb, smoking a cigarette can bring the relationship closer.

"Not much, because there is less weight. It would be nice to collect 200 kilograms of new fields like this." After lit the cigarette carefully, the second uncle said after savoring it and carefully sipped it.

"That's the case, that's a little less. So how much can I collect if I have enough fertilizer?"

"It's 300 kilograms." Uncle Er calculated it in his mind before answering.

"This is a bit less." Duan Guoxue did not understand agriculture, but he knew that before the liberation, even in later generations, the average yield per mu was only 200 kilograms. Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice, increased the yield per mu to more than 400 kilograms, not only solved the problem that the Chinese people had troubled eating for thousands of years, but also laid the foundation for China's world-leading position in rice research.

After asking a lot of technical questions about the production process, Duan Guoxue felt a little clear-headed and stopped disturbing everyone's work. However, he was exposed and could not continue to visit privately. At the strong request of his second uncle and the villagers, Duan Guoxue and his party came to a village not far from the reservoir as a guest.

The village is very large, with more than 200 households. Most of the laborers are digging canals there, and there are no people in the village. Wei Ping'an and his cousin rush in the village for a long time before getting some tea.

"Ping'an, please tell your second uncle not to do this, don't treat me as a guest, just treat me as your own family." Duan Guoxue hurriedly dissuaded him when he saw the fine sweat beads on Wei Ping'an's head.

"Principal, you don't know that my second uncle is the top-ranked person in the village. He said the order. If I don't do it well, I won't think of going back to the village. Don't worry, principal, I know it." Wei Ping'an answered and then went to catch chickens and ducks.

"Teacher, after the morning inspection, I think I can try to plant new rice in these villages." The bride who came with me quietly reported to Duan Guoxue when there was no one.

"Yeah, I understand." Duan Guoxue nodded gently and responded.

The new type of rice that my brother mentioned is a new product requested by Duan Guoxue aliens. It has a short growth cycle, drought resistance and disease resistance. It has a long ear and a large grain yield, with an average yield of more than 600 kilograms per mu, and a high yield of even more than 800 kilograms in high yield fields. However, out of respect for the father of hybrid rice, Duan Guoxue did not dare to establish his own business and said that the new type of rice is a new variety, but is an improved product made of super rice. The father of rice has been rooted in the fields for decades to do scientific research, and he can easily obtain results. He will be struck by lightning in doing this. However, now he has returned to the Republic of China all at once, and everything has a new beginning.

Since Baise is in the tropical region, rice can be planted for two seasons. When Duan Guoxue first came, he did not dare to carry out planting experiments because he was not familiar with the land. He just planted dozens of plants in his yard. However, the long rice ears and the full grains of grain were surprised everyone. As soon as the spring of this year, the brother's family and the Xirong family planted new rice seeds on one acre of land respectively. In order to compete for the few rice seeds, the two families patted the table and turned out their ancestors for 18 generations to prove that they were good at farming.

After two seasons of planting, the village where the two families are located knows that the two families have obtained new rice seeds, and the high yield can make everyone jealous. However, after negotiations in the village, the food rations of the two families were borne by the village, and all the new rice harvests were taken out as seeds. The village allocated rice seeds according to households and planting techniques. However, under the requirements of Duan Guoxue, a part of them were intercepted as experimental rice seeds for surrounding villages. This not only can the surrounding villages peek at the new rice seeds, but also spread the technology more widely and the future planting surface.

The accumulation will be even more expanded. As a compensation for providing rice seeds, Duan Guoxue will prioritize the purchase of part of the grain according to the amount of seeds. This year, he has recruited thousands of students, and just eating grain has consumed a lot of money. Although Duan Guoxue has a way to get a lot of money, in this era when grain production is not high, even if he has money, he may not be able to buy enough food. Therefore, Duan Guoxue is very concerned about food. After more than a year of cultivation, Duan Guoxue believes that after three or five years of breeding and expansion of planting, the grain problem will no longer be the biggest control over his expansion.

In the afternoon, as Duan Guoxue was a "distinguished guest", Erbang and his brother finished work early and returned to the village. At the same time, they invited the village chiefs of several surrounding villages to come over according to Duan Guoxue's requirements. When they entered the banquet in the evening, they sat in a large yard. Before the banquet, they roughly met the village chiefs and clan leaders present after being introduced by Erbang.

"Dear lovers, although I have been overseas since I was a child, I have been reminded by my parents that my roots are in the motherland and I must not forget my roots. I also listened to the teachings of the older generation. Although our country is vast and rich in resources, there are still few farming fields and not much harvest. After returning to China, I saw that everyone only had a few acres of thin fields and a few kids were not talented. I built water conservancy to benefit fertile fields and cultivated a kind of rice that is drought-resistant and insect-resistant, with a lot of yields. I want to take out some seeds to share with everyone."

As soon as Duan Guoxue finished speaking, he saw a middle-aged man standing up. Duan Guoxue remembered that he was a village in this nearby village. He said excitedly: "But the kind of rice grown in Wangcun?"

Duan Guoxue replied with a smile: "That's right!" Duan Guoxue's answer made the people in the yard explode. Although many people have never seen the rice planted in Wangcun, they have heard it. The high harvest makes people jealous. After a while, another person stood up and asked:

"Are there any conditions?" The sentence made everyone lose their voice immediately, and their glasses stared at Duan Guoxue with their glasses.

"There are no conditions. First, this kind of rice is still under test, and there are very few seeds available at present. I hope that each village will send several good farmers to Wangcun to communicate with each other. Not only can they exchange their farming experience, but they can also expand the breeding volume of new rice in return for everyone. After the seed yield stabilizes in the future, the rice seeds will be sold to each village at a suitable price, and the price will certainly not be very high. Second, when the harvest will increase in the future, I hope to purchase the excess grain in your hands at a fair price in the name of Xingmin Company."

"Those two?" the man who asked continued.

"Just these two points, if there is anything wrong, I welcome everyone to discuss it together. After all, the villagers in the countryside should sit down and talk about what they have to do."

The venue was filled with buzzing voices again, and everyone discussed the plan proposed by Duan Guoxue. After a while, the first person among the two men who asked the question just now spoke:

"We have no objection to the conditions proposed by Principal Duan. As a farmer, everyone hopes that the harvest can be higher, but Principal Duan doesn't know how to allocate good seeds?"

"The cultivation of good-bred rice requires some new knowledge. While sending farming experts, each village will send some young students to study at the new school I run. I will also provide seeds according to the proportion of students provided by each village. After all, good seeds are needed to serve them." Duan Guoxue's purpose is to firmly grasp the young people in these villages in his own hands. The industrial students and apprentices collected before absorbed most of the outstanding young people nearby. Since some of them are left to farm, this move can firmly grasp the remaining young people. Although there will be no effect in the short term, Duan Guoxue did not want to make a breakthrough so quickly. In his opinion, going out to fight and kill from the beginning is the worst strategy. Cultivating the reserve force of the new generation is his development path for great achievements.

Sure enough, Duan Guoxue's trick was very effective. Villages expressed their intention to select the best students to study at Duan Guoxue's school. They were also very strange. Didn't the schools in the past teach Zhihuzhe's things? How could they start to teach them the mud legs that they never see? Moreover, what new things need to be learned in this kind of land, but being able to study is a good thing. More importantly, the excellent rice seeds, if one more student is sent to study, you can get 10 kilograms of rice seeds. Go home and choose people.

The following banquet was held under various thoughts. Although they had their own thoughts, their respect for Duan Guoxue was still unified. They came to toast them one after another, which meant that it would be negligent if they did not pour Duan Guoxue down.
Chapter completed!
