Dean Shen's face was beaming today. He mixed the corn himself and peeled it with great enthusiasm, with a smile on his face that never stopped.
On the other side, many people were threshing wheat.
First, they each took one acre of corn field and one acre of wheat field for experiments. Everyone was eager to know how much grain their 1,000 acres of land could produce.
Unlike the farmers in the surrounding rural areas who were all worried, the people at the Chinese medicine hospital already knew that there would be a bumper harvest this year, and it was an unprecedented bumper harvest.
The families of all hospital staff will not have to worry about food rations for the next year.
Dean Shen finished peeling the last ear of corn and shouted:
"Hurry up and bring the scale over here to weigh the corn and see how much this acre of corn has yielded."
A group of young workers began to get busy and then started to weigh.
Many older employees are already evaluating:
"This must weigh at least a few hundred kilograms, right?"
"More than that, looking at this posture, it's impossible to defeat him without 2,000 pounds."
"If there are two thousand kilograms, I will eat them all!"
"Get lost, you wish!"
When Lin Sanqi slowly walked to the threshing ground, a burst of enthusiastic shouts suddenly broke out from the crowd:
"800 kilograms, one acre of corn yields 800 kilograms~~~"
The crowd quickly burst into applause!
"The wheat yield per mu is out, a total of 650 kilograms~~~"
There was another burst of enthusiastic applause and cheers from the crowd.
At this time, Vice President Ji's voice sounded again:
"Let me tell you a little news. The yield per mu of the sweet potatoes planted last has come out, and it has reached 3,000 kilograms per mu~~~"
Wow~~~
The shouts from the Chinese medicine hospital were probably heard even in Huilongguan, and many of the hospital's employees hugged each other excitedly.
Dean Shen waited until everyone calmed down before pressing his hands down to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Comrades, although we only checked the yield of a small number of fields, everyone can see that our crops are growing well, and the fruits are heavy and not watered down at all. So, this year, our farm has a bumper harvest in its first year~~~"
Very loud applause!!!
"If nothing goes wrong, our corn yield can reach 300 tons, wheat yield can reach about 250 tons, and the largest output is sweet potato. Although the planting area is the smallest, it is at least 500 tons.
There are also countless vegetables. Last year, when we distributed winter vegetables, each person received 30 kilograms of cabbage. This year, I think each person can receive 100 kilograms of cabbage and 100 kilograms of radishes. Everyone can eat whatever they want. I wonder if everyone is happy~~~"
“Happy~~~hahaha~~~~”
Dean Shen made another silent gesture:
"Okay, everyone's happy enough, now we need to calm down. We will try to store all the grain within 10 days. Don't make too much noise and don't attract the attention of the surrounding people.
We must not harbor any intention to harm others, but we must be on guard against them. What if outsiders learn we've grown so much grain and they come to steal it? Therefore, we declare to the public that our yield per mu is only 50 kilograms, the same as the other farmlands in the Ming Tombs. Remember this, everyone?
"Remember~~~"
“In addition, don’t worry, when we established the farm, the higher authorities gave us preferential policies. All the crops grown on our farm belong to our Chinese medicine hospital, and we don’t have to pay public grain, so all these crops are ours.
We work and produce collectively, so of course we will share collectively. Comrades from the Changping branch should not feel wronged. You grew the food, and in the end, everyone shares it equally. We are a big socialist family, and everyone is a class brother or sister. We can't let anyone go hungry, right?
“Yes~~~”
Now the people at the main hospital were shouting very loudly, while the employees at the branch hospital were listless.
Lin Sanqi stood in the crowd and thought to himself, bullshit, it doesn't matter how much you work, it's the same thing, this is a complete communal system. Do you still expect the families of the branch staff to work as hard next year as they did this year?
How could Dean Shen not know what Lin Sanqi knew? Was this unfair and damaging to morale?
But what can we do about it?
The social distribution method is equal for everyone. How dare he implement a policy of more work, more pay? If he dares to do so, he will lose his official hat tomorrow.
Just like your current income, you are surrounded by patients when you are at work and are tired as a dog, while the doctor next to you can only see a few patients a day and is so bored that he only has to cut his fingernails.
But when it comes to salary payment, everyone's income is the same because there is no performance-based funding, so it doesn't matter whether you work more or less.
Is this fair or unfair? History will naturally give the answer.
Dean Shen had already had his fill of chicken soup by this time, so he waved his hand:
"Okay, now everyone should start harvesting our bountiful harvest according to the areas assigned to them. Whether we can have a good New Year this year depends on these ten days."
Thousands of employees and family members of the Chinese Medicine Hospital, men and women, young and old, all went out and quickly rushed to harvest the crops in departments. The whole farm was filled with laughter.
Dean Shen saw Lin Sanqi coming over and rolled his eyes in disdain:
"You're so weak! How are you going to build socialism and have children? Don't forget that health is the capital of revolution. Hehe. By the way, our hospital had a great harvest this time, and you've made the main contribution!"
Lin Sanqi sighed:
"This production volume is still not enough. It's just enough for our unit to digest internally. Oh, and regarding the hybridization technology data I submitted last time, have the superiors taken any new measures? It's been half a year."
Dean Shen shook his head: "Oh, I don't know about that. They are in the agricultural system, and we are in the health system."
"I know!"
At this time, a group of people walked out of the cornfield, led by a white-haired old man named Jing Qisheng.
When Dean Shen saw the old leader coming, he quickly trotted over and said, "Leader, why didn't you say hello?"
Lin Sanqi also stood at attention and saluted.
Leader Jing held a corn in his hand and said with emotion:
"I've just been walking around your farm and heard the workers talking about the yield. It really surprised me. This is a bumper harvest. For example, the corn yield is more than 10 times the average yield in Changping.
My goodness, this is incredible! If this were implemented nationwide, and if our country's grain production could be increased tenfold, wouldn't our food crisis be solved immediately? What a pity!
Lin Sanqi was a little strange:
"Leader, what's the pity? Since you know it's a good thing, promote it quickly. If you delay for half a year, you'll miss out on an entire season's worth of food. How much less food will be produced?"
Leader Jing smiled and said, "We think it's a good thing, but some people think it's not a good thing. What can we do?"
Leader Jing explained the opinions of the higher authorities, mainly the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, who were not planning to promote hybridization technology due to fear of unknown risks. This angered Lin Sanqi so much that she cursed:
"Are you kidding me? I've spent all my money and even used so many favors on these hybrid technologies, and yet they're just being shelved? How can I be worthy of this? How can I be worthy of the people starving across the country? How can I be worthy of Grandpa Yuan?"
Everyone: What is Yuan?
Dean Shen kicked Lin Sanqi: "Who are you? Can you represent the people of the whole country? You can't say such nonsense."
Dean Shen was kindly reminding that Lin Sanqi could only represent himself and not anyone else.
Leader Jing is actually not enthusiastic about whether hybrid technology should be promoted or not. This is not within his job scope, and it is none of his business if there are results.
But when he heard what Lin Sanqi said about spending all his money for these technologies, his eyes narrowed. It was obvious that Lin Sanqi had the opportunity to access the most advanced technology from abroad.
Then this can be discussed.
At this time, Dean Shen asked with a smile:
"Boss, are you here to inspect our farm? But as for this publicity work, hey, can we not do interviews, not publicize it, and keep it secret from outsiders?"
Leader Jing said with a half-smile:
"Others, when they achieve something, are eager to report it to their superiors, have it published in the newspapers, and then make a big fuss about it. But you, on the other hand, are asking me to help keep it secret? Hahaha."
Dean Shen was a little embarrassed:
"We've finally managed to produce some grain. If other comrades find out, I estimate the convoys coming to borrow it will stretch from Changping to Beiping. By then, I'm afraid it will be like throwing meat buns at a dog, and they'll never come back. Then, what will happen to my employees?"
Leader Jing laughed out loud after hearing this:
"Xiao Shen, Xiao Shen, with your farm's yield per mu, is it possible for you to get published in the newspaper? How many kilograms? The average wheat yield is over 600 kilograms. How much is the corn yield?"
A young secretary in a green military uniform nearby reminded him, "800 kilograms."
"Yes, the corn yield is 800 kilograms, and the sweet potatoes are a little more, 3,000 kilograms. Do you think your yield is high? You have a small-peasant mentality, only thinking about your own family." (End of this chapter)
