The seedlings of "Qin Zhan No. 1" have large, dark green leaves and look very vibrant.

The seedlings of "Qin Zhan No. 2" are relatively slender, but there are more of them and the density is greater.

Although the seedlings of "Qin Zhan No. 3" are not as robust as No. 1, their leaves have a special luster, showing extremely strong vitality.

The seedlings of "Qin Zhan No. 4" grew the fastest. Although they were sown at the same time, they were already more than an inch taller than other varieties.

The seedlings of "Qin Zhan No. 5" showed varying characteristics, with some growing vigorously and others becoming weak, exhibiting the greatest variability.

"Based on current performance, varieties one, three, and four are performing the best," the eccentric pointed out. "Especially variety four, which is growing significantly faster than the other varieties, is a good sign. However, the final yield and quality will only be known at harvest time."

Tao Rang wholeheartedly agreed: "Grand Commandant, your insight is truly remarkable! That's exactly what I was thinking too. However, the worst thing in farming is to be impatient for quick results. We will continue to observe and record until the harvest time before drawing a final conclusion."

Next comes the crucial moment for transplanting.

Members of the Agricultural Research Institute used new rice transplanting tools to neatly transplant seedlings into the experimental fields. Each hybrid variety had a dedicated plot for observing its performance in a real-world environment.

"Grand Commandant, look at the efficiency of these new tools!" Tao Rang said, pointing to the farmers using the rice transplanters. "One person can transplant at least three times more rice paddies in a day than with traditional methods!"

The wicked man nodded, quite satisfied with the result. Improving agricultural productivity is not just about increasing yields, but also about reducing labor inputs so that more people can engage in other productive activities.

After the transplanting was completed, the wicked man instructed the agricultural experts on how to scientifically manage the rice paddies.
