The night was peaceful.
But everyone's heart is not peaceful. ,
Tomorrow morning will be the autumn harvest plan for the entire Xizhou, and the eyes of the whole country are focused on this land in Xizhou.
Li Zhen and Xun Shifei would talk about a lot of things every time they met. They kept talking and never stopped. No one knows why they have so much to say.
Is it because the two are very similar
A man who will do anything for his rights.
One can risk everything for the sake of science.
"sleep early."
“The fall harvest is tomorrow, and hopefully I’ll be surprised by the Western State production totals over time.”
The two looked at each other and smiled, then went to their respective bedrooms.
And this night, Xizhou, which appeared to be peaceful, was not peaceful either secretly.
Zhang Haiyang was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep at all. Now he was thinking about what kind of results he would achieve tomorrow to make Xun Shifei happy. Now all I can think about is, what did I do wrong and why am I always unable to get promoted
"Where did I offend him?"
"Is it because of the last political incident in Xiping County's security? That's not right. It was ordered by Dean Li, who was his backer. Although the method was a bit ruthless, Dean Li didn't say anything. No matter how strange he was, it was It’s not my fault.”
"Is it because I sang? But I just wrote a song. I wrote a song to encourage the passion and enthusiasm for the autumn harvest. Did he really make such a fuss and make me become the princess in the end of my life?"
"Am I hopeless for promotion in this life?"
"well,"
Zhang Haiyang was worried. He often reflected on himself, why he did so well but could never go further
But I never realized what was wrong with me, I just blamed myself for my bad luck.
No one thinks he is incompetent, no one thinks he is not smart enough.
It's just that under the premise that his ability is too outstanding, he is too smart. The terrible thing is that he used any means to achieve his goal. This is the original sin.
Of course, even if he knew that he would not be promoted for the rest of his life, Zhang Haiyang did not dare to have any rebellious thoughts. Don't even dare to take extreme actions to retaliate.
I just keep asking myself with a sense of luck, maybe Xun Shifei just said it casually, maybe Xun Shifei didn't mean it because he was overthinking.

Tao Ming stayed up all night.
"There must be no accidents tomorrow."
"Any small thing that happens tomorrow will be magnified infinitely. I just transferred to Xizhou and am in charge of such a stall. I really don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse. If I can make it through, this will be my political achievement and I will rise to the top from now on. If If I don’t cross over, my ability will be questioned, and I’m afraid I’ll go back to where I came from.”
Tao Ming felt a kind of torment in his heart. pain.
——
Li Zhen is actually very nervous. What kind of results hybrid rice will achieve is unknown. Even though the rice seems to be growing very well and is expected to be very high, no one can be 100% sure that it will be successful until the actual output data is released.
"Yuan Bing, how confident are you?"
Li Zhen asked with a smile.
Yuan Bing was uneasy and his legs were trembling as he sat on the edge of the bed: "Li, Master Li, I am very sure."
"Is it?"
Yuan Bing sighed: "I was very confident before. I was even confident before coming to Xizhou. But at this last moment, I suddenly felt empty. I am not sure now."
Li Zhen asked: "Can you estimate how many kilograms of grain the entire Xizhou will produce?"
Yuan Bing asked: "How many kilograms of grain did Xizhou produce per year before?"
Li Zhen looked at the brochure of Xizhou data: "Last year, Xizhou produced a total of 3 billion kilograms of rice."
Yuan Bing pondered for a moment: "Then... Even if the hybrid rice is not good, it must be 8 billion kilograms, right?"
"Eight billion kilograms..."
After murmuring, Li Zhen said: "Nanzhou is a big grain-producing state. Last year, Nanzhou only produced 7 billion kilograms of rice. There are paddy fields everywhere in Nanzhou, while Xizhou was just opened up for farming this year. And rice in the south is already very productive. High. Do you think Xizhou can produce 8 billion kilograms this year?"
Yuan Bing said: "The seven billion must be there. Although the conditions in Xizhou are not as good as other states in all aspects, the stupid bird flew first. I am confident in hybrid rice, but for the general environment of Xizhou and everyone's planting There is no confidence in local technology. I am not sure whether a good thing will be ruined. I heard before... "
Li Zhen waved his hand to interrupt: "Don't talk nonsense. Just tell me, what is the lowest bottom line in your heart?"
"Six billion. Six billion kilograms, twice that of Xizhou. If the amount is less than twice the amount, then hybrid rice has failed. Because this year, in order to fully cultivate hybrid rice, the country and all walks of life have given strong support to Xizhou , more than 70% of the land that was once cultivated has been cultivated. With more land, more food can be grown, and more manpower and material resources have been invested. If it cannot be doubled, then hybrid rice...isn't it? Mature.”
"Six billion..."
Li Zhen swallowed with some difficulty. Yes, he remembered that this year's output cannot be compared with previous years.
In previous years, Xizhou was full of people and desolate land. Not many people want to farm.
This year, on the basis of hybrid rice, the state is providing strong support. The area of newly reclaimed farmland increased by 70%, and the manpower and material resources invested increased by 400%.
Even if we plant the previous rice, it stands to reason that it will take 4 billion kilograms of grain to break even.
If hybrid rice does not reach 6 billion kilograms, it will undoubtedly be a huge failure. It is no different from ordinary rice.
Yuan Bing's confidence in hybrid rice rests on single-plant cultivation. The rice in the laboratory greenhouse is so powerful, so he is confident.
But when it came to full-scale planting and the entire Xizhou area was planted with hybrid rice, he suddenly lost confidence.
Xizhou is not a laboratory, but has become a grain production base.
Hybrid rice is no longer a scientific experiment in the laboratory, but has become a food that fills people's stomachs.
Li Zhen suddenly lost his confidence when he saw Yuan Bing was so unconfident.
"Hey, six billion as a guarantee, try to get eight billion. Okay?"
Yuan Bing nodded: "Well, okay. The minimum is 6 billion, and we will strive for 8 billion. I am still confident about 6 billion. I dare not say if it is more, the rice seed is successful, but combined with other factors, I am not so convinced." It will take more time to perfect it. Master Li, if you give me another three years to perfect it and obtain more data, I can guarantee 10 billion."
"Let's see tomorrow. If it can exceed 6 billion, at least everyone will be able to live with it. There will be plenty of time in the future."
Sleepless night.
The people at the Kyushu Academy of Sciences are not at peace.
It must exceed 6 billion!
