National Rice No. 1 has a good harvest!

Harvest! !

In the second half of 1966, the Minister of Agriculture Su Wenfeng brought back 4,000 kilograms of hybrid rice seeds and 500 kilograms of ammonia fertilizer from Kowloon.

After returning,

The Ministry of Agriculture selected a total of ten villages from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning regions to conduct trial planting of the National Rice No. 1 hybrid rice.

At the same time, the ammonia fertilizer brought back was also handed over to the Agricultural University for research...

By April and May of 1966 and 1967, good news began to come in, and it came frequently!

The average per-acre yield of National Rice No. 1 in a village in Suzhou is 450 kilograms.

The average per-acre yield of National Rice No. 1 in a village in Changshi is 435 kilograms.

The average per-acre yield of National Rice No. 1 in a village in the town is 418 kilograms.

The average per-acre yield of National Rice No. 1 in a village in Xu City is 400 kilograms.

The average per-acre yield of National Rice No. 1 in a village in Yanshi is 455 kilograms.

Sui City...

Ning'an City...

The ten selected pilot villages all delivered satisfactory and even shocking results! !

After receiving the news, the entire Ministry of Agriculture was in an uproar. Everyone was excited and delighted!

The average yield per mu can really reach 400 kilograms!!!

If the soil has sufficient nutrients, the average yield per mu can even reach 500 kilograms, and one mu of land can produce 1,000 kilograms of grain!!!

Oh my god!!

This is like a joke...

After some discussion, the Ministry of Agriculture announced the news to the public. Within a day, people across the country learned through the loudspeaker of the People’s Broadcasting Station that growing rice can produce 1,000 kilograms of grain per acre of land!

boom--

The whole nation was in an uproar and public opinion was in an uproar.

The news is very loud and the whole world is in an uproar.

People from all over the country, from high-ranking officials to peddlers and even children, were talking about it.

"Have you heard? One acre of land can produce a thousand kilograms of grain! What the hell!"

"I know, it's just the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, as well as the Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning regions. There are a total of ten villages that grow rice... Each village has harvested a thousand kilograms of rice."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk! One mu of land can produce 1,000 kilograms of grain. If we plant five or six mu of land, we can produce 5,000 to 6,000 kilograms of grain, right? My family of eight can't finish it in five years, and we can still have enough to eat every meal. If we save a little, we can have enough for six or seven years!"

"Fuck! This is really outrageous... It's like hearing a divine book. I have carefully tended my land all year round, and the most I can get from one acre of land is 400 kilograms. I'm so lucky to get 400 kilograms!!"

"It's a pity... We can't grow rice in dry land here. If we could grow rice, we would have to get some hybrid rice seeds and plant them..."

"Yes, yes. It's because our area is quite dry and there is no river water. You said that there are hybrid rice here, but do we have hybrid wheat?"

"If we also have hybrid wheat, we can produce not only 1,000 kilograms of grain per acre, but 600 kilograms per acre would be fine, which is not a small amount..."

"Who knows? You have to go to the village chief!"

"The village chief knows nothing, you have to ask the county chief!!"

"Alas... if I had known earlier, I would have gone to the Northeast. My husband is now in the Northeast, with a house and land. People there grow rice. I am so lucky!!"

"Ugh……"

As the news spread, the impact became increasingly greater. Every day, the Ministry of Agriculture received calls from units at all levels across the country asking about the situation of hybrid rice.

The county also organized people to go to the ten villages with dry food. They wanted to see what the awesome hybrid rice looked like and whether the rice grown there was edible.

If all this is true, then rice won't kill people...

No matter what, we have to get some rice seeds back!!!

play hard!!!

……

Dawang Village,

A small village hidden in the mountains, with gurgling streams and shady green trees. It has long seemed like a corner forgotten by time, nameless and isolated from the world.

The land here is barren and the harvest is meager. The villagers have been struggling for food and clothing for generations. In their memories, the shadow of hunger seems to have never really dissipated. Everyone gets up early and works late, diligently tending to the land, but the dinner table of every household is always lacking the abundance it deserves.

however,

A change last year completely changed the fate of Dawang Village!

With the encouragement and support of experts from the Ministry of Agriculture and the county's agricultural science department, the villagers tried to grow the National Rice No. 1 hybrid rice for the first time.

This is a bold attempt!

When we first heard that everyone was asked to change seeds, no one in the village agreed. Wasn’t this a joke?

If this new seed doesn't work, what will we eat at the end of the year?? What will we drink??

Everyone resists and opposes, and no one is willing to take such a big risk!

Finally, the experts from the Ministry of Agriculture reported the situation to the leaders of the ministry, and the ministry eventually sent a special envoy to discuss matters with the county and township governments, promising that if the harvest was not good at the end of the year, the village would be exempted from paying public grain next year.

Only then did the people of Dawang Village agree and consent to sow new rice seeds.

This is not just a replacement of rice, but also a sowing of hope...

After a year of hard work, when the autumn wind blows across the rice fields and golden waves roll, the villagers usher in an unprecedented bumper harvest.

The miracle of producing 1,000 kilograms per mu shocked the whole village. They finally had a full meal that they had never had in their memory. The satisfaction and happiness were beyond words, and they had smiles on their faces even in their dreams!

this day,

The villagers sat under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, their faces filled with unprecedented pride and joy. The big yellow dog ran happily among the crowd, wagging its tail.

"Our National Rice No. 1 is truly a miracle that our ancestors have never seen!" Uncle Zhang held a handful of rice that he had just picked from his own field. The grains were full and golden in color. He squinted his eyes, as if he saw the scene of bumper harvests every year in the future through these rice grains.

"One thousand kilograms per mu, children, do you know what this means? From now on, we don't have to worry about not having enough food to eat!"

"That's it!"

Aunt Li took over the conversation, her eyes slightly red, "I still remember those years when every household in our village tightened their belts to make ends meet. Now, with these golden seeds, we can eat white rice every meal, as many bowls as we want, and however we want!"

Her words were full of gratitude and cherishment.

This reliance on and emphasis on new rice varieties resonates with every resident of Dawang Village.

However, as the news that the National Rice No. 1 produced 1,000 kilograms per mu was reported on the loudspeaker, a group of outsiders suddenly came to Dawang Village, which was previously unknown and had never had a visitor.

They stepped into Dawang Village with curiosity and desire, and the tranquility of Dawang Village was broken...

"Oh, look, our rice has attracted outsiders!"

Aunt Li held the hand of her neighbor Aunt Zhang and said with a smile on her face, "This shows that the new rice we planted is really good!"

The villagers first enthusiastically displayed their achievements, took the outsiders to the warehouse to see the mountains of white rice, and told them every detail of growing the National Rice No. 1, with their faces full of pride.

But as the topic gradually turned to rice seeds,

The smiles on the villagers' faces began to stiffen, replaced by vigilance and reluctance.

Brother Xiao Wang is a young man in the village. He was the first to stand in front of the outsiders and said firmly: "This is the treasure of our Dawang Village. It is the golden seed that will allow us to have enough food every day in the future. We can't give it to others easily."

As soon as he finished speaking, he received an immediate response from the surrounding villagers.

"Yes, this is our lifeblood, we have to take good care of it!!"

"We have finally lived a good life, we can't let this golden seed fall into the hands of others!"

Some people began to talk in low voices, while others stepped forward and surrounded the outsider, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Fellow villagers, we just want to learn and have no ill intentions." An outsider who seemed to be the leader tried to explain, but obviously his words did not dispel the villagers' concerns.

"Study? What do you want our rice seeds for?" a villager said indignantly.

"We can buy it at a high price, fellow villager, how about you name a price?"

"Do not sell!"

"No, no, no! We won't sell the seeds!!!"

"Drive them out! Protect our rice seeds!" Someone shouted, and the villagers were outraged and responded one after another.

The mood gradually escalated from initial arguments to later pushing and shoving, with some people even starting to pick up farm tools and take defensive stances.

A large-scale conflict seemed to be about to break out, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

At this critical moment,

The roar of a car was heard in the distance, and a team of agricultural experts led by the county armed forces arrived in time. They quickly intervened, stopped the conflict between the two sides with a majestic voice, and started patient mediation work.

"Fellow villagers, we understand your cherishment of the new rice variety, but scientific and technological progress is the benefit of all mankind. The success of National Rice No. 1 is not only the pride of Dawang Village, but also an important achievement of my country's agricultural modernization."

The agricultural expert said earnestly, "Fellow villagers, we are all compatriots and family members. I understand your feelings very well, but last year our village was selected as a test field to lay the foundation for the subsequent national promotion..."

"Fellow villagers..."

A conflict disappeared into thin air.

Things like this happened in all ten villages, and hybrid rice completely ignited the enthusiasm of people across the country!

……

After one year of trial planting, the results were remarkable.

The leaders were also very happy and excited, and immediately began to promote the National Rice No. 1 hybrid rice.

"Everywhere in the country that is suitable for growing rice should plant this kind of rice, and next year everyone will have enough to eat and no one will go hungry!!"

"Comrade Xiao Wu, you have given us another great gift..."

"In the past, this would be a Buddha for all families, and he would be worthy of being enshrined in the Imperial Temple...hahahaha..."

then,

In 1968, all places across the country with water suitable for growing rice switched to new rice seeds and planted National Rice No. 1.

How many seeds are needed to plant over such a large area?

The Ministry of Agriculture is also troubled by this! !

The entire Ministry of Agriculture mobilized the entire team and also recruited professors and experts from all agricultural universities across the country to rush to the ten experimental villages.

Then start seeding...

How much land do the ten villages have in total?

More than 10,000 acres, with a total output of 9 million jin per acre.

We can’t grow all the seeds, or the villagers will have nothing to eat. We have to keep some surplus food and seeds from the villagers. If we do that…

There are not enough rice seeds!

It was a lot of work and after half a year of hard work, basically 70 percent of the country's rice fields were planted with new rice seeds.

……

By the autumn of 1968, the country had a bumper rice harvest!

The whole country is jubilant and the people are excited!!

At this time, the leader called to invite Wu Youde to return to Beijing to attend the group party...

Let yourself go back to attend the group party?

When Wu Youde received the news, he was surprised at first, but then he understood after thinking about it for a while. He realized that this was because they saw his great role and wanted to deepen their relationship with him.

To put it bluntly, I came back to reminisce about the past.

We sit together to eat, drink, maintain a good and close relationship, and help each other and love each other as a family in the future.

At first Wu Youde felt that it was unnecessary. He was born a Chinese and his soul will remain Chinese until his death. Naturally, he hoped that his motherland would become better, stronger and more awesome, and it would be best if he could become the captain!

Therefore, there is no need to keep in touch.

He will continue to provide support and help the motherland develop!

But after he declined, the phone rang again...

The level of the people who called was higher and higher. In the end, Wu Youde had to speak politely!

I can't refuse it.

……

Wu Youde returned to the capital with a small entourage and in a very low-key manner.

The "Manting Fangyuan" in the capital is still there, intact and well-preserved. In order to protect it from being destroyed, there are guard posts in the four directions of front, back, left and right. A total of a company is responsible for the guarding task here.

This forced Wu Youde to return to his own doorstep, where he was subjected to numerous inspections and interrogations.

He had no objection to this.

After settling down, he specially asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of meat, such as roasted whole lamb, braised steak, braised pork, etc. He made them every day and sent them to the guard outside the door after they were cooked.

At first the other party refused to accept it, but after Wu Youde made a phone call, the other party received an order: Do not disobey any instructions of Mr. Wu!

This is awesome!

The company commander thought there was something wrong with his ears...

After staying at home for two days, Wu Youde quietly went to attend a group gathering. It was more like a private banquet than a group gathering.

There weren't many people, just a few.

Father-in-law Lou Zhenhua was also there this time, obviously because of Wu Youde.

The dinner was not very sumptuous, and the dishes were all very ordinary.

The older generation lived a simple and frugal life and were selfless. Wu Youde saw all of this and felt deeply in admiration for them, feeling ashamed of himself!

The banquet atmosphere was relaxed, cheerful and harmonious.

They didn't talk about business from beginning to end, but only trivial matters, and even teased Wu Youde about whether he could call all the names of his dozens of children...

This is really not a problem.

Wu Youde treats every child in the family equally. He often plays with the children and sometimes takes a child out alone. He makes sure that no one is left out.

It is to increase the relationship between the children and the relationship between the children...
