But Team Leader Yuan and the others don’t have any lucky charms.

"I didn't say anything, I just said that if everything goes well next year, I can produce grain seeds in one season!"

"In this way, in the second season, the yield of improved varieties can be tested to determine whether it is successful or not."

"This is a critical period."

The old dean said happily, this good news keeps coming.

From hybrid corn to hybrid rice and hybrid wheat, this series of actions made the Academy of Agricultural Sciences a "red man" in the eyes of their superiors.

Every time there is a meeting, you have to sit in the front row.

Because the benefits behind this research are visible to the naked eye, and the people will benefit from it in real ways.

"The last time I went to a meeting with them, they made some statistics."

The old dean put down his cup and looked at Yang Xiaotao with a smile, "Last year, our agricultural production accounted for 311 million tons of grain, an increase of 40% compared to last year."

"Of this 40% month-on-month increase, high-yield corn production accounts for 90%. This is equivalent to an increase of 112 million tons."

Yang Xiaotao opened his mouth wide, very surprised.

There are not so many chemical fertilizers in the country these days, and most of the work is done manually. Although mechanization has appeared in some places, it is impossible to popularize it based on the current domestic situation.

Under such circumstances, being able to grow so much in one year shows the production capacity of high-yielding corn.

By the way, there is also salt-alkali resistant corn.

"You know what? When I heard the news, I felt so unbelievable that I couldn't even move my butt off."

"The chief who reported the situation even had his teeth crooked in his smile."

"In our difficult period, the food supply did not exceed 200 million. Now it is better. In just one year, it has exceeded 300 million."

"If we continue to promote this year, the output will increase. If we add hybrid rice, we can think about it, and it is not impossible to exceed 400 million next year."

The old dean clenched his fists and said excitedly. Yang Xiaotao quickly handed the water glass forward, fearing that something might happen to him if he got excited.

Taking the water glass, the old dean sighed again.

“Food is the most important thing for people!”

People who have never experienced famine will never know the value of food.

That was an era when even a grain of rice dropped to the ground would be blown away, and one would rather eat the rice with the soil. It was an era when eating sweet potatoes was not even willing to peel them, and was not willing to waste any grain.

The preciousness of food is unforgettable.

"With this much food, how many people can be fed? This is a great deed of yours."

"Don't say that. I'm just lucky. I'm lucky."

Yang Xiaotao quickly acted modestly, but he also told the truth.

The old dean also knew his temper, "You guys, if you come to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the food can be improved even more."

"Hey, I'm from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, too."

"You still remember."

"Of course, my monthly allowance of twenty yuan is not for nothing."

The old dean put down the water glass and said, "Well, will you go there next year?"

"What?"

"Go to the south. You are the leader of the technical team. Go and tell me what's going on."

"No, Dean, you are waiting for me here."

"Ha ha!"

Yang Xiaotao shook his head helplessly, but he thought that Xiaowei's abilities had improved, and the sooner hybrid rice was developed, the better it would be for the country.

Even if the rice produced has various defects, as long as it has high yield, it will be fine.

Nowadays, bran can be eaten, but how does it taste?

Just eat some.

"Okay, I'll ask Lao Yuan later when I'm going to pay New Year's greetings when I can go there."

"Of course, it would be better if he doesn't need me."

Hearing Yang Xiaotao say this, the old dean felt relieved.

He didn't know why, but he always felt at ease when Yang Xiaotao was around.

Then the two talked about several research topics for the Academy of Agricultural Sciences next year, as well as preparations for recruiting students, expanding the agricultural research team, and focusing on hybrid seeds.

After sitting for a while, Yang Xiaotao was ready to get up and leave.

"By the way, I'll bring you some gifts. As promised, this is not a bribe. Don't refuse..."

The two talked for a while in the office, and then Yang Xiaotao stood up and left.

He also wanted to go back to Yangjiazhuang to pick up his grandfather for the New Year.

By the way, send something back to the village.

"There are so many good things that I won't refuse."

"Let's go quickly. I won't go there before the New Year. I'll go there after the New Year."

The old dean was not polite either. He knew that the machinery factory had many good things.

Unlike the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, there is no other way except the benefits allocated by superiors.

"Please pay attention to your health. It's already the Chinese New Year. Go home and have some rest."

Yang Xiaotao persuaded before going out. The old dean nodded and then waved his hand.

After Yang Xiaotao left and drove away, the old dean walked back to the office again.

Looking at the gift delivered, I shook my head secretly, and then thought of something.

I picked up the phone from the table and thought for a moment before making the call.

"Brother, it's me."

"As you said last time, we can supply it here after fifteen."

"Well, as Yang Xiaotao said, there should be no problem."

"Okay, I'll contact you when you have time."

I hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

The elder brother of the same family spoke more and more urgently, losing his usual poise.

They all say that if you have food in your hands, you won’t panic.
Chapter completed!
