"In the final analysis, the water and soil in Xizhou are still fertile, but the thinking is poor. Now that the thinking has been changed, and with the help of hybrid rice, the rise is just around the corner. It will soon become a big grain-producing state and a big wealth state."
"Come on, don't say so much. The new rice is about to be cooked. For dinner on the first day, the whole Xizhou will eat new rice. You don't know that the millet hulling machines distributed in various places have not stopped for a day, and they are everywhere Threshing rice. You said everyone is the same, why are you in a hurry? The rice has not even dried yet, so you are in a hurry to thresh rice."
"Hahaha, after all, we are also eager to get some rice to try, everyone is the same."
"I don't know whether the taste of this hybrid rice is better than the taste of ordinary rice. To be honest, even if it doesn't taste good, I feel like it's a profit if it can fill my stomach."
"Hybrid rice, just cross-breed. Don't worry about the taste. People should first fill their stomachs and put their enjoyment first."
"That's right. If your stomach is not full, you are not qualified to ask for taste and quality."
"Hahaha, new rice goes with the pig that was just slaughtered this afternoon. It's a comfortable life."
"Just take it easy. Don't push yourself to death."
"New rice, go with the freshly slaughtered pig, and this wine that has been stored for fifty years. Even the gods can't exchange for it these days."
“…”
In the Xiping County Government Office, there were twenty wine tables set up. Li Zhen and Xun Shifei were present, as were all the officials, as were people from the Kyushu Academy of Sciences.
We had a great conversation and everyone had a smile on their face.
Several large pots are steaming in the distance, and the rice is almost cooked.
And this situation does not only appear in the county offices of Xiping, but also in almost all households in Xizhou.
Steam a big pot of new rice to try it.
Many people choose to kill pigs today. Killed pig rice is served with new rice. This is the case everywhere.
Even more prosperous was Jinchang County, where the state governor entertained hundreds of officials and people. The flowing banquet is held directly in the center of Jinchang County. Each table has three meat dishes and five vegetarian dishes. But the dishes are not important, what is important is the rice.
White rice, crispy rice, porridge. All kinds of food are provided, so you can eat whatever you want. All are new rice.
There were more than 400 tables of flowing tables. After finishing the meal, they were withdrawn and a new batch of people were brought in again. Today is the most luxurious day since Tao Ming took office as governor of Xizhou. But I didn't feel any distress at all, just the overwhelming pride.
Xiping County.
"Food is ready!"
A shout spread throughout the county government office, and dozens of men lined up to start preparing meals and then delivering them to every table.
When bowls of rice with plump grains were served to everyone, there were endless sounds of surprise.
"This rice looks good."
“Compared to the Heibao rice from the north, I think it’s not much different.”
"The aroma of rice. The aroma of cooked rice."
"It is soft, but not as sticky as glutinous rice. This is the best rice."
"Every rice is full of color and full of moisture. Ordinary steamed rice cannot produce this effect."
“…”
Xun Shifei used his chopsticks to scoop out a piece and put it into his mouth. His eyes lit up: "Okay! Good rice!"
Xun Shifei moved his chopsticks, and everyone began to move their chopsticks one after another.
Full of praise.
"Unexpectedly, its quality is also of excellent quality."
"The output is amazing. I thought the quality was going to drop, but it turns out the quality is excellent. It's a godsend."
"Hahaha, I will never be short of food in Xizhou from now on."
While everyone was talking, Xun Shifei suddenly stood up holding a wine glass. When everyone knew that he was going to make a speech, they immediately stopped moving and speaking, and turned their heads to look over.
Xun Shifei turned to look at Yuan Bing and took a deep breath: "This hybrid rice is a gift from heaven. And it is Dean Yuan who has given the entire New Kyushu, and even the whole world, the opportunity to try this gift from heaven." Dean Yuan is indispensable for saving millions of people from fire and water. I would like to use the first glass of wine to honor Dean Yuan. Shi Fei sincerely thanks you for your contribution to the people of Li and to the common people. Developing hybrid rice is a godsend.”
After saying this, Xun Shifei drank it all in one gulp. Then he poured himself another glass:
"Dean Yuan, you don't need to drink. This glass of wine is what I should toast to you. The second glass of wine, I toast to the Jiuzhou Academy of Sciences. Thank you to the Jiuzhou Academy of Sciences for organizing and gathering scientific research talents in the world to develop things that benefit the country and the people. Thank you even more. It is the platform of the Jiuzhou Science and Technology Award that inspires the enthusiasm of scientists all over the world. On this platform, many important weapons of the country and the people have been born. I respect the Jiuzhou Academy of Sciences."
After saying this, Xun Shifei drank it all in one gulp.
He poured himself another glass: "The third glass of wine is dedicated to President Li Zhen. Thank you to President Li for having students all over the world, leading a large number of scientific pioneers, changing the scientific shortcomings in the 10,000-year history of the New Calendar, and establishing the Kyushu Academy of Sciences. You have made countless great achievements and contributions to this world that are beyond examples. Dean Li, I respect you."
After drinking three glasses of wine, Xun Shifei sat down.
Zhang Haiyang and others looked at each other and stood up in unison.
Hundreds of people in the entire courtyard filled themselves with wine and shouted in unison:
"Respect Dean Yuan!"
Hundreds of people drank it all in one gulp and poured it again.
"To the Kyushu Academy of Sciences."
Drink it all in one gulp. Pour again.
"Here's to Dean Li!"
Still drank it all.
Yuan Bing and others took a deep breath, seeing everyone's heartfelt gratitude, and felt an indescribable attitude in their hearts.
Touched, proud, or satisfied.
——
Annan Kingdom.
Emperor Annan issued an order and all prisons were emptied. All 100,000 prisoners were escorted to the New Kyushu border.
The emperor came in person and shouted: "From now on, everyone will be in labor camp in Xinjiuzhou for ten years. During these ten years, there will be no human rights, no financial rights, and no freedom. You are all people who have made mistakes and should participate in labor education. Go ahead. .”
One hundred thousand criminals who were handcuffed and shackled had blank expressions on their faces. I had heard of labor reform, and prisoners would basically be squeezed out of their labor value. But what is it like to go to a labor camp in another country
Prisoners have no say. After the order was given, a force came from the New Kyushu border and began to handle the handover procedures with Annan Kingdom. Strict handover procedures, everyone is checked one by one. Those in poor health, those over fifty years old, and those with disabilities are not allowed.
After one hundred thousand people were inspected, more than three thousand were returned on the spot.
New Kyushu arrived in a car and arrived in front of Emperor Annan. After saluting, he said loudly: "We will take the people away. Thank you Emperor Annan for cooperating with the construction of New Kyushu."
Emperor Annan laughed loudly: "You're welcome. The Co-Prosperity Sphere is to establish a co-prosperity system with New Kyushu as the center. The best way for small countries like us is to let New Kyushu develop first, and then New Kyushu Come and drive us to develop."
The general smiled, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes: "When will the gold arrive?"
"It has arrived, three tons of gold, please accept it."
An hour later, the new Kyushu general laughed loudly: "There is enough gold, and I hope Emperor Annan can make up for it as soon as possible. Farewell."
With an order, New Kyushu's troops escorted 97,000 Annan Kingdom criminals into New Kyushu's territory.
Watching the troops of New Kyushu leave, Emperor Annan let out a heavy breath, then slumped down on his chair and laughed miserably: "Do I look like a traitor?"
No one from the minister answered.
The emperor of Annan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Let's start cracking down hard in all parts of Annan. We still need 400,000 men from New Kyushu. We can make up for it within a month. Is there no problem?"
"Emperor, this is too difficult..."
"I said, crack down hard. From today on, Annan will open several more crimes. All the gray behaviors with hidden rules in the past are now crimes. No one is allowed to be released from prison on parole, and anyone who commits a crime must be imprisoned and re-education through labor. . Small things become big, big things become huge. Strict enforcement. We must gather 400,000 people within a month. New Kyushu will come to collect people in a month."
"well,."
Everyone was crestfallen.
