Zheng Ya used Lao Yuan as a pawn, spreading the news far and wide before driving back to the courtyard house. As soon as he got out of the car, he was greeted by people from the Ministry of Agriculture: "Hello, Comrade Zheng Ya, I am Liu Neng from the Ministry of Agriculture?"
"Hello, Comrade Liu Neng." Zheng Ya shook hands with him and greeted him, but he was not used to the warmth of this era.
In modern times, when people meet acquaintances, they generally just nod their heads in acquaintance.
Shaking hands to make peace is a formal courtesy.
Why do people in this era shake hands and exchange greetings with boundless enthusiasm?
Liu Neng mistakenly thought that Zheng Ya's discomfort with handshakes was because he was annoyed with him, so he decisively took out the certificate issued by the Minister of Agriculture: "Comrade Zheng Ya, take a look, this is a certificate signed by our minister."
"We hope you can help us cultivate a batch of seeds?"
"Uh, isn't it a bit late to plant wheat and sorghum now?" Zheng Ya hadn't expected the Ministry of Agriculture to pull this stunt.
The key issue is that I have less than a thousand Zhengde points, which isn't enough to generate many seeds, so this is a difficult situation.
The business project that generates Zhengde Value is just starting out and doesn't generate much income yet. How can we generate such a large number of seed companies?
Moreover, once this precedent is set, it won't just be a matter of producing one or two truckloads of grain seeds; it could very well be producing hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of tons of seeds.
That would require a massive amount of Zhengde value.
Having a lot of negative points won't help!
Zheng Ya had a headache. Liu Neng noticed something was wrong with his tone and frowned, saying, "Comrade Zheng Ya, as you know, our country has suffered from disasters in recent years, and crops have failed in many places."
This led to frequent incidents of local people fleeing famine and starving to death.
The high-quality seeds you've fostered are the very opportunity to save the nation's food supply; you can't just stand by and watch them perish, can you?
"Comrade Liu Neng, are you implying that I am a sinner?" Zheng Ya felt aggrieved. He had said when he first met with the leadership that he would encourage the cultivation of high-quality seeds to ensure that the Chinese people could plant new varieties the following year.
In retrospect, the severity of the national food shortage was underestimated.
If there were no other way, the leadership wouldn't have put on such a show.
Giving farmers pre-planted seeds that haven't been tested will not only be Zheng Ya's responsibility if the planting fails.
The leadership may also be implicated, and could be removed from their posts or imprisoned.
Zheng Ya understood the leadership's decisions and determination, but he lacked the right seeds to nurture virtue.
This is going to be difficult?
Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice!
Hearing the car, Fu Qingyao and Xu Qi, worried that Zheng Ya would argue with the people from the Ministry of Agriculture when he returned, walked out of the courtyard gate together and said, "Comrade Liu Neng, you should unload this truckload of seeds into the base first. My Zheng Ya will arrange a time to accelerate the growth of these seeds."
Once the seed germination is complete, I will call you to come and pick up the seeds.
After all, you can't just blow on a seed to make it germinate, right?
"Oh, is that so, Comrade Zheng Ya? Can't we induce seed production immediately?" Liu Neng asked unwillingly, still feeling that Zheng Ya was unreliable.
Can the task of saving the nation's food supply be delayed?
This person's ideological awareness is problematic!
Zheng Ya never expected to find himself in such a predicament, but he reluctantly nodded and agreed: "Take it to the base and unload it!"
I'll try to get this truckload of grain produced as soon as possible..."
"No, Comrade Zheng Ya, you yourself said that it's already winter, and it's a bit late to sow wheat and sorghum."
"Why don't we start stimulating the growth of grain seeds right away?" Liu Neng asked angrily. "What kind of nonsense is this?"
The people of the whole country are working hard and putting in their best effort.
Anyone who is lazy and tries to shirk responsibility has a problem with their thinking.
Having seen many people like this, Liu Neng could tell from Zheng Ya's furrowed brows and displeased expression that this guy was unwilling to promote the growth of grain seeds. He should be taken to the countryside to do manual labor, experience the enthusiasm of the people, and return to the masses to serve them wholeheartedly.
Zheng Ya laughed angrily: "What do you mean by that?"
"Alright, Comrade Liu Neng, please watch your words when you don't know how to accelerate grain growth and don't have the ability to do so!"
If all else fails, call your supervisor and ask them to come over.
"If you have any opinions, go and voice them to your superiors. Just don't cause trouble for them. I hope you'll be mindful of the occasion." Seeing Zheng Ya's dark face and the urge to get angry, Fu Qingyao quickly tried to smooth things over.
Xu Qi had already pulled Zheng Ya aside. Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Liu Neng suppressed his anger and said, "Fine, I'll go call our leader right now and tell him about your problems?"
"Do as you please!" Fu Qingyao said sternly as she saw Liu Neng off, then glared at the indignant driver before following Zheng Ya back into the courtyard.
There weren't many people in the yard during working hours.
Women and children all gathered at the seed base's work field to watch the exciting and novel activity.
Without even seeing the person, Zheng Ya said without any hesitation, "This Liu Neng has a problem. Why don't you have someone investigate him?"
"Are you sure? No, you little brat, you're ordering me around! And how did you know my identity?" Fu Qingyao was stunned for a moment, then became angry. It seemed that nothing had been hidden from his eyes.
Zheng Ya said with dissatisfaction, "I am a martial arts master. Isn't it obvious that you and Wu Wei are making small moves with the others?"
Besides, Liu Neng gets angry after just three sentences; it would be strange if there weren't problems.
In fact, Zheng Ya didn't take Liu Neng's initial devotion of over 80 points seriously.
However, after just three sentences, Liu Neng's faithlessness level soared to one hundred, proving his identity as an enemy.
As for this enemy, Zheng Ya has already figured out the different levels of distinction, roughly divided into three categories: enemy agents, those who are hostile to the point of enmity, and those who have an innate aversion to each other.
Xu Erdan was the type of person who disliked Zheng Ya and had no affinity for him. If he had the chance, killing Zheng Ya and getting promoted would not have been a problem for him.
People like Yi Zhonghai, Granny Long, Jia Zhangshi, and Jia Dongxu were purely hostile towards Zheng Ya.
The nature of enemy agents needs no further explanation.
As for which category Liu Neng belongs to, that remains unknown.
In short, Liu Neng was not a good person to Zheng Ya.
If Liu Neng was instigated and manipulated by someone to cause trouble for Zheng Ya, he is the kind of person who doesn't have a good rapport with Zheng Ya. He may not be a criminal, but he is almost certainly an opportunistic and cunning bad guy.
Fu Qingyao understood after hearing his explanation: "Alright, I'll send someone to investigate his problem."
The question I want to know is, how long would it take you to produce a truckload of seeds?
"Don't give me a political lecture. If it were feasible, I would love to solve the problem of food supply for the whole country in a second, but that's not realistic."
What I want to say is "try your best!" Zheng Ya felt a chill run down his spine and was extremely annoyed.
Just like why the three superpowers have to consume negative karma and righteousness to upgrade, and to induce the growth of seeds, I really don't understand.
Even if it's just the "heartlessness value" alone, even if the cost increases a hundredfold, Zheng Ya feels that upgrading and seed cultivation are not the problem. The problem lies in the "righteousness value," which is too difficult to earn, and he doesn't know why.
I'm so stressed right now, what should I do?
Earning Zhengde Points is the top priority, but how do we earn them?
