Xie Wan glanced at Director Qiao and saw that he looked thoughtful. She immediately added fuel to the fire and sighed in a pretentious manner:
"It is true what you said. If the new grain is given to the rich places, won't the rich places become richer and the poor places become poorer?"
Director Qiao came back to his senses, chuckled, pointed at Xie Wan and said, "Little brat, don't point at me with words.
The Agricultural Science Institute only produces a limited number of new grain varieties every year, which are not enough to be distributed.
But the situation will get better next year and the year after. Next year I will ask them to allocate some land to you in An County. You can plant well and keep the hybrid rice seeds. Soon there will be enough for the whole county."
After hearing this, Xie Wan quickly flattered him and said:
"Director Qiao, how dare I play tricks in front of you.
Isn't this what we are talking about?
But if you really give us 6 million kilograms of new grain seeds next year, you will be the living Bodhisattva of An County.
The one million folks in An County must be thinking of you every day."
Director Qiao was very pleased with Xie Wan's flattery, but he still spat at Xie Wan and cursed, "Little brat, you are really asking for too much. Your entire An County has less than 200,000 hectares of arable land, and you dare to ask for 6 million kilograms of new rice seeds? Are you dreaming?
I will give you at most 100,000 kilograms. Plant them in the first year and save the seeds for two years. Then you will be self-sufficient."
Xie Wan bargained with great enthusiasm and finally raised the price to 300,000 kilograms, which was basically enough to sow 6,000 to 10,000 hectares of arable land.
There are more than 100,000 hectares of arable land suitable for growing rice in An County, which is still a big gap, but it is better to have something than nothing.
Just like Director Qiao said, after the first year's harvest, you can save the seeds for yourself, and the situation will get better by the next year.
When the others heard Xie Wan jokingly asking Director Qiao for grain seeds, they all smiled, but they were very uneasy in their hearts.
Especially the leadership team of An County, when they saw that Xie Wan and Director Qiao seemed very familiar with each other, they had more speculations about Xie Wan's background.
