People lined up in the courtyard to draw lots at the wooden round table, their faces filled with anticipation and trepidation.
Qian Mingliang leaned closer to Zheng Ya and said, "Are you just discriminating against people and fooling them?"
Are they deliberately letting us know to mock our incompetence?
"Haha, classmate, you're overthinking it."
I'm showing you a fact through my actions: what you see with your eyes is not necessarily what it truly is.
What we hear is not necessarily accurate.
"Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving, but that doesn't apply to me, do you understand?" Zheng Ya was talking about a topic that ordinary people couldn't understand.
Ouyang Wenqian murmured thoughtfully, "Are you trying to tell us in this way that we must be realistic and that all scientific and technological research and development must start from practical experience to find out the real theories before we can implement them?"
"Yes, this student sees things very clearly."
Scientific research emphasizes seeking truth from facts, but some scientific and technological developments undergo fleeting transformations due to the impact of air pollution.
Just like the magic trick I performed for you earlier, using my martial arts internal energy to change the paper ball in your hand, the result is self-evident.
Everything at my planting base represents only a partial experimental site and is insufficient to conduct planting experiments under the influence of climate, soil, and water resources across the country.
Therefore, your research tasks should not be limited to the limitations of this planting base, but should be carried out in a nationwide manner.
"This is the mission I've given you!" Zheng Ya directly assigned them their areas of responsibility, not wanting any of the ten of them to be short-sighted, only seeking honor and ignoring the bigger picture.
After all, Zheng Ya's purpose in establishing the planting base was to benefit the country and its people, not to seek personal honor.
As for varieties one through nine, whether they can grow and mature after being tested across the country will only be known through actual planting.
According to Zheng Ya's estimate, seeds of grades nine to six can be tested in any region, but the growth cycle is uncertain.
Whether the seeds Zheng Ya cultivated in his special ability space to create the next generation of seeds are suitable for planting nationwide is unknown.
High-quality seeds have high requirements for soil, water, and fertilizer; this is common sense and self-evident.
Seeds of nearly a thousand years quality, planted in ordinary soil and irrigated with ordinary water, are expected to grow into something valuable. Even if they do grow, it will take time.
The issues and interests involved, as well as the significance they bring to the Chinese people and the nation, are all profound and far-reaching.
For example, seeds of a thousand-year quality can be cultivated and matured in a year, which can be used to cultivate a new generation of human elites, strengthen the foundation of martial arts physique, and enhance the foundation of the Chinese people, which is of great significance.
If seeds of this quality, with a thousand-year history, are successfully cultivated on a large scale, then every person in the country can become like a dragon.
However, this can only be achieved by scientists developing fertilizers and growing methods suitable for producing high-quality seeds over thousands of years.
What Zheng Ya could do was provide some seeds; he couldn't possibly cultivate them all to improve the health of the Chinese people.
That would require a massive amount of Zhengde points, which Zheng Ya simply couldn't afford, nor was it realistic.
Therefore, Zheng Ya used a magic trick to remind them to pay attention to seeking truth from facts, while not ignoring the implication of planting seeds all over the country for comprehensive research and development.
Qian Mingliang said with shame, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood your intention..."
"It's nothing, you don't need to worry about anything."
"And you will also have to experience human relationships and social interactions. Remember this: don't judge a book by its cover." Zheng Ya warned them to be careful of the people in the courtyard, lest they be used as pawns and end up helping others count the money after being sold out.
To maintain harmony at the planting base, Zheng Ya refused to hire anyone whose mind wasn't on their work from the very beginning.
For example, Qin Huairu, besides being greedy for cheap things, playing the victim, and scheming against people, she doesn't know anything else. What's the point of having her?
Meanwhile, while Zheng Ya and Qian Mingliang were talking, everyone in the courtyard had finished drawing lots.
Everyone had a crumpled piece of paper, and when they unfolded it, most of them were blank.
Yan Fugui asked, puzzled, "Xiao Zheng, now that the lot-drawing is over, tell me the procedure!"
"Okay, fine. Those caught on the spot with numbers one through four will be considered permanent employees of the planting base, while those with numbers five through ten will be considered temporary employees."
Another rule is to prevent customers from refusing to buy or sell.
Of course, those who have secured a work position can withdraw, and those who find it unsuitable after a period of time can also apply to resign.
Okay, those who have found a work position should register with Yan Fugui and start work in the afternoon to prepare for planting sorghum and wheat.
"Here are ten tech talents. They will be professionals who will guide the workers throughout the planting process. Let's begin!" Zheng Ya announced the job positions and responsibilities before waving them away.
Qin Huairu, who hadn't managed to secure a workstation, broke down in tears: "Waaah, how are my son and I supposed to survive..."
"Qin Huairu, go cry at home. This planting base of Xiao Zheng is not a place for you to cause trouble." Yan Fugui angrily ordered his wife to pull Qin Huairu away.
Qin Huairu tried to cheat, but the people at her workstation grabbed her and dragged her away.
Sha Zhu felt a little sorry for Qin Huairu and wanted to give up Liu Lan's workstation, but Liu Lan grabbed his ear and spun him around the room, making him behave.
Wu Wei, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, was furious: "This Zheng Ya is truly all-powerful and lawless!"
"Girl, don't forget that this is a planting base built by Zheng Ya. He has the right to select and employ people."
His scheme of cheating by drawing lots was a well-intentioned strategy to prevent infighting and fights among the staff.
"Otherwise, who would you choose?" Old Yuan was worried that she would get stuck on her own thoughts, so he endured his still-healing injuries and went over to comfort her.
Tian Juan, supporting Lao Yuan's arm, chimed in, "Wei'er, your dad is right. Zheng Ya didn't do anything wrong."
Qin Huairu is good at playing the victim, but in reality, she lives a much more comfortable life than anyone else.
"This is true. Jia Zhangshi bribed Li Chunhua to incite workers to surround Zheng Ya and cause trouble. She was sentenced to three years in prison."
Jia Dongxu was the mastermind behind the plot, and conspired with Dou Tong to murder Sha Zhu and Liu Lan, causing Lao Dou to die tragically for no reason. He was sentenced to four and a half years in prison.
So, with Jia's mother and son imprisoned, the Jia family house will belong to Qin Huairu and her son. And Qin Huairu is still currying favor with and serving Old Lady Long. Just think about who Qin Huairu is. Old Yuan had firsthand information about the people in the courtyard. It was the military and police who helped him eliminate enemy agents.
Some time ago, unidentified individuals infiltrated the capital and committed a major crime, which attracted the attention of higher-level leaders, who dispatched experts to join forces with Lao Yuan to pursue and kill the enemy.
This eliminated potential risks for Lao Yuan and provided Wu Wei with a safe living environment, which brought convenience.
Wu Wei exclaimed in surprise, "What? Qin Huairu didn't look down on Old Madam Long at all? What's she up to?"
"Are you stupid? Old Mrs. Long is rich and can help Qin Huairu establish a good reputation for being filial to her elders. Whether it's to scheme for Old Mrs. Long's money or for her good reputation, Qin Huairu will not abandon Old Mrs. Long, understand?" Tian Juan earnestly admonished her daughter, "Be more careful!"
Don't be fooled by Qin Huairu's tearful attempts to gain sympathy...
