Chapter 283: This is not a brother, this is really your father-in-law!
Two days later.
On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, the meeting finally came to an end.
Of course, the discussion later was not just about white pigs, but also about other issues related to agriculture and fisheries.
Basically, we discuss the key development directions for the next few years.
The main focus is still on food.
Because whether it is asking fishery units to increase fishing efforts or the current focus on the promotion of white pigs.
There is also a plan for the subsequent implementation and distribution of large-scale fertilizer production equipment.
They all have one goal, to increase food production.
But the latter part had little to do with Su Wenchen, so he just watched others engage in a war of words.
Since resources are limited in all places, people are really very penny-wise and would like to take every screw on the production line back to their own units.
Of course, it is impossible to dismantle such a large-scale fertilizer production line. There are only ten in total, and those who can compete for it are the leaders of the agricultural bureaus of various provinces.
Su Wenchen looked at the leaders in the unit who were usually very taciturn.
Faced with this fertilizer production line, everyone was as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
It started to roll inward like crazy.
You said that the yield per mu will increase by ten kilograms next year, so I will increase it by twenty kilograms.
Then Su Wenchen watched as the yield per mu increased from the current 200 kilograms per mu to 400 kilograms per mu.
Then it couldn't be rolled up anymore.
Because everyone sitting here at this time are professionals from various fields.
Most people have a rough idea of the yield per mu when using chemical fertilizers.
Su Wenchen also knew that since seed improvement was still relatively backward, it would be impossible to achieve the desired yield of 700 to 800 kilograms per mu by relying solely on chemical fertilizers.
This must be combined with high-yield and high-quality varieties to continue to significantly increase grain production.
Even the subsequent increase in grain production can only be achieved through breakthroughs in all aspects.
The use of chemical fertilizers will increase yields, the subsequent promotion of improved varieties will increase yields, the popularization of agricultural mechanization will increase yields, and finally, there will be continuous breakthroughs in high-yield hybrid varieties.
Ultimately, these combinations enabled the country to achieve self-sufficiency in food.
At this stage, they have only completed the first phase, the introduction of fertilizer production lines, and there is still a long way to go in agriculture!
Touching his chin, Su Wenchen felt that the subsequent popularization of agricultural mechanization and promotion of high-yield hybrid varieties might have to wait until he took office before they could be promoted.
After all, the conditions were definitely not mature in the past ten years, because seed improvement was only established in recent years, and in fact, the promotion of various animal husbandry industries was also only started in recent years.
These are things that will take time to finally show results.
The livestock industry is developing too fast now, and that is simply because of him.
Thinking about this, Su Wenchen felt that there was still a long way to go in terms of subsequent development!
Soon, the meeting came to an end amidst a quarrel.
The old man announced slowly.
"Two production lines are arranged in the Northeast Plain to supply the three northeastern provinces."
"Three are placed on the North China Plain, mainly supplying the four provinces of North China."
"Three of them are located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, mainly supplying the five provinces along the Yangtze River."
"Finally, one will supply the Guanzhong Plain, and the other will supply the Bashu Basin."
"As for the final site selection for the factory, personnel from the General Office of the Ministry and the Ministry of Chemical Industry will visit your locations to survey and select a site. At that time, your local authorities will be responsible for hosting the factory, as well as preparing for land acquisition, labor deployment, and other supporting facilities."
"Also, provinces where factories are built must fulfill their annual fertilizer allocation tasks to neighboring provinces. We can't just treat the fertilizer as our own once it lands in your province."
"Comrades, today is New Year's Eve. Finally, on behalf of the ministry, I would like to extend holiday greetings to all the comrades attending this meeting!"
"Next year, independent fertilizer production and the promotion of white pigs will bring a bumper harvest to our people."
"Snap! Snap! Snap!"
In an instant, there was warm applause in the venue.
When Su Wenchen heard about the current location of the only large-scale fertilizer production plant, he was not too surprised.
They are basically located around the major plains. It can be said that these places are also the main production areas in the country.
In later generations, even a single province would have more than this many fertilizer factories, but now one production line has to supply almost two provinces.
It's still a drop in the bucket!
Of course, food production will definitely increase in the future, but there is still a long way to go before we can have no worries about food.
So Su Wenchen thought about it and decided that after solving the initial problem of food and clothing, foreign exchange would be an area that he needed to focus on.
Therefore, one of his subsequent efforts will be to cultivate top-level animal breeds to earn foreign exchange, and then use the foreign exchange to introduce various advanced fertilizer production equipment and agricultural machinery production equipment from abroad.
After all, the development and expansion of animal husbandry ultimately depends on the strong support of agriculture.
Therefore, we first use high-end livestock breeds to earn foreign exchange internationally, and then use the foreign exchange to feed back into domestic agricultural development.
Finally, with the development of agriculture, there will be a large amount of grain to support the development and expansion of domestic animal husbandry.
This will form a virtuous cycle, and the domestic supply of grain and meat will gradually increase.
In this process, his position will be improved step by step, until the day comes when the people in the future will no longer lack meat supply.
Will anyone remember him?
Maybe I can get a title myself.
It can’t be the father of white pig!
That's not as good as the Father of Moonlight Rabbit!
As for agricultural development and breakthroughs in improved varieties, Su Wenchen was actually not that worried.
Because during the meetings in the past few days, Su Wenchen learned from his colleagues in the Hunan Provincial Agricultural Bureau that the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences has begun coordinating with scientific research units across the country to assist the Hunan Hybrid Rice Collaboration Group in tackling the breeding of hybrid rice.
The person in charge of this collaborative group was later known as the father of hybrid rice.
Although he was not sure in which year the success was achieved, he knew that he did not need to worry too much about breakthroughs in improved varieties.
As the applause gradually died down, the old man slowly spoke to the leader who came from the hospital this time.
"Leader, do you have anything to say in the end?"
The other party smiled and shook his head.
"I have nothing to say."
"Your Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has made good progress this year. The livestock industry feeds back into agricultural production, and agriculture in turn supports the development of the livestock industry."
The old man said a little embarrassedly.
"Leader, please stop talking. These two breakthroughs were made by Blue Water Farm. Our department didn't do much to support them! I really don't want to take the credit for them."
"However, we will also increase our support for Blue Water Farm in the future and strive to achieve breakthroughs in other areas as soon as possible."
The other person took off his reading glasses, wiped them, and responded with a smile.
"That's also your achievement. I hope that with your support, Blue Water Farm can make new breakthroughs next year."
"Okay, I see the comrades below can't sit still anymore."
"You adjourn the meeting!"
The old man nodded, stood up and said.
"Okay then, if everyone has no objection, let's adjourn the meeting!"
"By the way, today is New Year's Eve. For those of you who came to attend the meeting and didn't have time to go home for the New Year, the department has prepared extra meals for you in the cafeteria."
"Tonight, each of us will have a large plate of dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage, as well as half a pound of peanuts and two ounces of candy. Although we are celebrating the revolutionary Spring Festival, we will not indulge in extravagance and waste."
"But the festive atmosphere of the New Year must still be there. I hope everyone can have enough food and drink tonight."
"After the Chinese New Year, I hope everyone will actively devote themselves to work and make new breakthroughs in the new year."
Accompanied by applause, the people on the rostrum slowly left the stage.
Other people in the venue also packed up their things and prepared to leave.
As a result, I just turned around and was faced with a bunch of invitations.
"Comrade Su, do you want to have dinner together tonight?"
"Comrade Su, come over to our side! Let's celebrate the revolutionary new year together."
"I said it first, you guys take it with you later."
"What do you mean you said it first? Comrade Su didn't agree to it."
"That's right, Comrade Su, come over to our side and we'll each add a dish tonight."
Looking at the invitations coming from all around.
Su Wenchen quickly waved his hands and apologized.
"I'm so sorry!"
"My dear friends, my father-in-law's family is from Beijing, so unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't be able to celebrate the New Year with you tonight."
Moreover, Ali came to see him twice in the past two days, and he had already said that no matter whether the meeting was over today or not, he would go to his father-in-law's house to celebrate the New Year.
After all, no matter how busy you are at work, you can always spare an evening.
After hearing what Su Wenchen said, the others didn't say anything more, because if their own father-in-law was in the local area, he would definitely go home for the New Year.
Even some people who live not far away have already left. They are probably trying to find a way to take a ride back from some unit!
After all, for many units at this time, it was a revolutionary comrade asking for a ride back home to celebrate the New Year, and basically no one would refuse.
After everyone dispersed, Zhang Qianjin and Yang Fusheng also came over and walked outside with Su Wenchen, saying a little disappointedly.
"Brother, you are going to your father-in-law's house to celebrate the New Year!"
"I was thinking we could each cook a few dishes and have a nice drink tonight!"
"I didn't drink better than you last time, that was a mistake. This time I wanted to teach you a lesson!"
Su Wenchen laughed directly.
"Brother, last time at your company, you passed out after just two drinks. That was a mistake!"
"And we were drinking sweet rice wine."
Zhang Qianjin said directly and showed off his strength.
"Brother, what do you mean I fell down? I was just pretending. At that time, I was just gurgling."
Walking out of the door, Su Wenchen said perfunctorily.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, just gargle. You've gargled your tongue so much it's become a big tongue, right?"
"You're already like that after just two cups, don't you know what your level is?"
"Especially the rice wine that tastes like soda."
When Zhang Qianjin heard this, his eyes widened.
"Brother, you really didn't feel anything afterwards?"
"Although the rice wine we have doesn't taste like much when you drink it, it has a strong aftertaste. I fell asleep right after I got home."
Su Wenchen thought about it and it seemed that he fell asleep in the car later, so he should still have some energy.
But after waking up, he didn't seem to have any reaction. He didn't have a headache and nothing else seemed to be wrong.
"It seems like I fell asleep, but after waking up, I didn't feel dizzy, so I thought I was just fine!"
Zhang Qianjin said proudly when he heard this.
"I'm saying you can't just say nothing. But our local wine, which has many years of history, may not be that famous, but I can guarantee the quality is flawless."
"Of course, it can't be like those cheap wines on the market, where you can only take a nap after drinking it!"
"Would you like me to send you some when I get back?"
Then he whispered.
"I buy the raw materials directly and ask the people I know to help me brew the wine. They are all the cleanest and most skilled veterans."
"It's just that nowadays, people are emphasizing industrialized and large-scale production, and these talents are gradually being eliminated."
"Let me tell you, this kind of traditional craftsmanship is really no worse than the large-scale ones."
Su Wenchen waved his hand.
"Forget about the wine. I don't usually like alcohol, but I do agree with what you said last, brother."
"This kind of manual processing certainly can't produce as much as large-scale products."
"But it's hard to say about the quality, especially for a master craftsman with many years of experience. Sometimes a little more or less can actually reflect the original soul."
As the two were talking, they walked out of the gate of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.
Su Wenchen was just about to go back to the guesthouse to pack his things.
A dark green jeep that had been parked at the gate started up and slowly drove to the side of Su Wenchen.
The car window slowly rolled down, and Su Wenchen saw a middle-aged man mumbling something in his ears.
The other party turned around and spoke directly.
“Get in the car!”
Su Wenchen glanced at the other person and had some guesses in his mind, but he still asked out of caution.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
The other party replied unhappily.
"He's your father, and you're still afraid that I might do something bad to you!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Qianjin beside him couldn't help but say.
"Comrade, what's wrong with you? We're asking you politely, how can you start cursing right away?"
"You're from that unit!"
"Is there anyone who meets people like you? Where's your letter of introduction from your company?"
To be honest, Zhang Qianjin has seen many arrogant units, but he has never seen one that starts cursing people right away.
Not to mention that Blue Water Farm is now a hot commodity in the department, so he is not afraid that the other party is from that unit.
After all, except for the top courtyard, everyone in most departments below is on the same level, so how can he come up and insult people like this?
This is unacceptable anywhere!
But after Zhang Qianjin finished speaking, Su Wenchen pulled Zhang Qianjin who immediately stood up.
"Don't be impatient, bro!"
Then he directly tested the middle-aged man.
"You are Ali's father?"
The other party replied unhappily.
"Otherwise! Who do you think would wait for you at the door for two hours in this cold weather?"
"Didn't you agree with Xiaoli that you'd still come home for the New Year's celebration even if the meeting wasn't over? You called me twice this afternoon."
Then it tasted a bit.
"I'm afraid I'll forget and let you run over there by yourself!"
"Okay, get in the car!"
When Su Wenchen heard this, he confirmed that the other person was indeed his father-in-law, because no one else could know what he said to Ali.
Zhang Qianjin on this side looked at Su Wenchen in a daze.
Not a brother, this is really your father-in-law!
How come you don’t even recognize your own father-in-law?
How can you still ask your father-in-law, who are you?
To be honest, if Su Wenchen had not clearly expressed that he did not know him at the beginning, he would not have thought that the other party was insulting him.
Su Wenchen also knew that this was a misunderstanding and spoke directly to Zhang Qianjin.
"Brother, let's part ways!"
"After the New Year here, I will start submitting application reports to the ministry as soon as the ministry starts working. You guys go back and prepare, and you can start taking action as soon as you receive the news."
"After you have coordinated with the local authorities in Sichuan Province, each of our three units will send a few people over to select a site and establish a transition base."
Su Wenchen is quite concerned about the breeding of dairy cows, because there are very few dairy cow breeds with a milk fat content of up to 6% in the international market.
As long as milk production can be increased in the future, it will be possible to export milk powder and varieties.
Zhang Qianjin nodded when he heard this.
"Don't worry, brother. As soon as we get the notification, I'll immediately go to Sichuan Province to coordinate the establishment of the transition base."
"Ensure the establishment of the transition base is completed as soon as possible."
Yang Fusheng behind him also said directly.
"Comrade Su, when I get back I'll start selecting the healthiest batch and ensure they're transported to the transit base in good health as soon as possible."
Su Wenchen smiled with satisfaction.
"Okay, let's work together to get this cattle down from the plateau as soon as possible."
"You guys should go back and rest quickly!"
After saying goodbye to the two of them, Su Wenchen directly opened the front passenger door of the jeep and prepared to get in.
As a result, Father Jiang spoke directly.
"Why are you sitting in the front? Come to the back!"
Uh~
Su Wenchen hesitated for a moment, then closed the front passenger door and opened the back door.
To be honest, he was not too restrained about his position as Jiang's father.
Because in the past few days, he has met several ministers, and the members of the institute have also talked to him.
Therefore, it is indeed impossible for Jiang's father, as one of the leaders of the Ministry of Railways, to ignore Su Wenchen.
But it wouldn't be said that the meeting was particularly awkward.
Because they are not in the same system, it is difficult for this to affect Su Wenchen today.
But it’s different with the identity of father-in-law.
After all, he married the girl without even visiting her, so Su Wenchen still felt a little guilty.
If Ali really had a falling out with her family and never contacted them again, he wouldn't have done that.
But the problem is not that now, which makes Su Wenchen feel a little embarrassed.
So after hesitating for a while, Su Wenchen still said to Jiang's father.
"Dad, my friend didn't mean it!"
After getting in the car, Father Jiang looked at Su Wenchen carefully. He had to admit that his daughter liked good colors!
At the very beginning, I was probably not attracted by his potential at all, but by his looks.
But after hearing what Su Wenchen said.
Father Jiang said with a deliberately stern face.
"Am I such a petty person in your eyes?"
Su Wenchen replied with a smile.
"That's definitely not the case. Ali has told me this many times."
"You've always taught her that one should be magnanimous and that a prime minister should be able to hold a boat in his stomach."
"You taught her this way, how could you be so petty?"
When Father Jiang heard this, he smiled and shook his head.
"Heh, Xiaoli, I hope you don't want me to get mad to death. Why do you still listen to me?"
However, although they only chatted for a few short sentences, Jiang's father found that his son-in-law was indeed a quick-witted person.
Just a few words made it impossible for him to continue pursuing the topic.
After all, my daughter has been brought up. If I continue to talk about this topic, wouldn’t that mean I’m admitting that I’m petty?
Seeing this, Su Wenchen also spoke directly.
"Dad, you've really wronged Ali. She's always nagging about you at home!"
"It's just that due to other reasons, it's been difficult to express."
After saying this, Su Wenchen also wanted to see what his father-in-law’s attitude was towards the relationship between his current wife and daughter.
When Father Jiang heard this, he looked at Su Wenchen, then waved his hand and said.
"Okay, you don't have to test me anymore!"
"I have many shortcomings, but I believe I have done my best for my family."
"Ali will live with you from now on, not with Aqin."
"Don't worry, you two just need to be able to get along with her in public. Don't think too much."
Obviously, Jiang's father also knew about the conflict between his daughter and his step-wife.
At that time, he sent his daughter away at the instigation of his step-wife, which further strengthened the already fragile relationship.
It is almost impossible to repair it now.
But he still told Su Wenchen.
"Xiao Su, I don't know what Ali told you."
"Actually, my decision to send her down had nothing to do with Aqin's instigation!"
"I felt something and thought I'd wait until the subsequent arrangements for the educated youth were completed before trying to find a way to transfer them back."
"Looking at the situation now, I really thought too much."
"You could also say that they want to reduce the scale of going to the countryside, so it's basically difficult to transfer people back."
"I'm not afraid to tell you straight up, even if I could be transferred back, I can't afford the price! Or rather, I can't afford it."
After just a few words, Jiang's father could tell that his son-in-law was an extremely smart person.
Therefore, he did not directly say that he wanted to use his status to exert pressure or force his son-in-law to persuade his daughter to reconcile with his step-wife.
When Su Wenchen heard the other party's explanation, he didn't care much and just smiled.
"Dad, I understand, and this might be a good thing for Ali."
"Now that I'm in the commune, it's actually more convenient for me to achieve some results."
Father Jiang nodded.
"Xiao Su, I feel relieved if you think this way."
"To be honest, you did a great job, better than I expected."
"When I saw your company had bred the Moonlight Rabbit, I couldn't believe it myself."
"I had to personally call my friends in the Foreign Trade Department several times to confirm before I could believe it."
"As for your wave at the end of this year, it was completely beyond my expectations."
He was very clear about his son-in-law's future, and he thought that he might even surpass himself in the future.
After a pause, he continued to remind.
"Xiao Su, I don't think the higher-ups will reward you anytime soon this time."
"But the more you do this, the better it will be for you. You have to know that some things are rewarded once and for all."
"But there's no commendation. Either the matter is very controversial, so it's inconvenient to make a statement, or the matter has a huge impact, so we have to make a statement based on the specific circumstances."
"This is actually a good thing for you."
"You are too young now. Even if the higher-ups promote you now, it won't be good for you."
"But after a few years when white pork is fully popularized, the pressure on you to come up will be much less."
"And at that time, any company that raised white pigs would have to do you a favor, more or less."
"They'll try their best to help you, but since you're young, the chances of them deliberately making things difficult for you are much lower."
Su Wenchen naturally knew what his father-in-law meant.
Because he actually saw it during the meeting.
He stands out a bit for his age.
Since we all came here for a meeting, it was actually okay. After all, we all went back to our own places after the meeting.
But if he really joins the ministry, I wonder how many people will feel jealous.
In addition, the White Pig has not been fully promoted yet, and Su Wenchen also feels that going up now will limit his performance.
Because being high has its advantages, and being low has its conveniences.
At least for now, Su Wenchen feels that he can still play a greater role on the court.
