Li Lishe died in the roadside, and no one cared.
Zheng Ya sensed that many people in the logistics department were cheering loudly, which was quite gratifying. With a smile, he drove back to the planting base.
Yan Fugui stepped forward and said, "Little Zheng, since you've put me in charge of the accounts, I'll price your seed-growing seeds at five cents a pound. That's not too much to ask, is it?"
"Hmm, how about this price?" Zheng Ya saw that the Ministry of Agriculture's people and vehicles were waiting to pick up the grain seeds, but he didn't say that Yan Fugui was wrong.
At least in front of outsiders, he was trying to save face for Yan Fugui.
It has to be said that Yan Fugui is shrewd and calculating.
He calculated that Zheng Ya would not erase his achievements, and he also wanted to help him save face by publicly praising his merits, thus achieving multiple goals at once.
Two people from the Ministry of Agriculture still came.
The person originally supposed to be there didn't show up, but the team leader, Officer Li, stepped forward to greet him: "You must be Comrade Zheng Ya, hello?"
"Hello to you all." Zheng Ya shook hands with him and greeted him. Officer Li asked impatiently, "Comrade Zheng Ya, I wonder if the grain seeds have been successfully germinated?"
The experimental fields are waiting for this batch of grain seeds to be sown, even though the sowing season is a bit late.
The experimental fields are in a hurry, please bear with us.
"Yes, I know that this batch of wheat and sorghum seeds is a bit late to plant now, so I worked overtime last night to get the seeds ready. You can load them onto the truck and take them away." Zheng Ya led them to the tent where the seeds were stored and inspected the seeds after they had been germinated.
Wheat grains are as large as peas.
Sorghum seeds are as big as broad beans.
This made Officer Li excitedly hold the grain seeds and grin foolishly: "Haha, this is great! The grains are so big. If we plant them, next year's harvest will definitely be very good. Thank you!"
"Wait, there's a fee for increasing the grain planting..." Yan Fugui was shocked by the fact that the grain seeds had become larger, and he was also calculating how to increase his extra income.
This made Zheng Ya frown in displeasure. This Yan Fugui was too stingy. He was being stingy with the country. This was not a good thing.
In fact, Zheng Ya quietly returned to the planting base last night, put five tons of grain seeds into his special ability space, and consumed 50,000 each of his virtue and faithlessness points to grow 250 tons of grain from the five tons of seeds.
Although it only involves cultivating mature, century-old grain varieties and improving their quality by three to five times, it still produces grains that are fifty times more abundant than the original varieties.
If Zheng Ya hadn't been concerned that taking out all of these grain seeds would be too conspicuous and difficult to explain, he would have taken out far more than seven and a half tons of grain seeds.
Zheng Ya's concern was generating revenue through grain production during the Zhengde era; he had no intention of being greedy.
You know, Zheng Ya followed Lao Yuan around last night and casually stole valuables that others couldn't earn in several lifetimes. He's not short of money!
What's lacking is Moral Points, the resources needed for advancing in special abilities!
Officer Li immediately suppressed his elation. Seeing Zheng Ya's displeasure, he turned thoughtfully to Yan Fugui and said, "Old comrade, have you considered Comrade Zheng Ya's opinion when you speak?"
"Ah, Zheng, what do you think about this..." Yan Fugui was preoccupied with earning extra commission, but after being reminded, he suddenly realized the truth and, sweating profusely, humbly asked for help.
Yan Fugui was quite certain about what was more important.
Because he was used to being greedy and stingy, he would use his brain to take advantage of others whenever he saw a profit, and he accidentally caused trouble.
After all, he was working to help the Ministry of Agriculture develop grain seeds. Whether the fees were excessive or the words were outrageous, it would damage Zheng Ya's image.
This is a big deal; it's a reputation that money can't buy!
Zheng Ya waved his hand and said, "What did you say? I didn't hear you."
"Yes, yes, what did I say? Oh dear, look at me, I forgot. Officer Li, I'm so sorry!" Yan Fugui was a shrewd person, so he apologized to Officer Li to shut him up!
Only then did Officer Li smile with relief and say, "It's alright, it's alright. We're all revolutionary comrades, just with different roles."
"Yes, yes, yes, we have different roles, understanding is key." Seeing that he didn't pursue the matter, Yan Fugui hurriedly put down the account book and helped carry the grain seeds onto the truck.
Zheng Ya stepped out of the tent, informed Brigade Commander Lei to arrange for the soldiers to help Officer Li load the grain seeds onto the truck, and then prepared to leave.
Brigade Commander Lei grabbed him and said, "Little Zheng, are you trying to run away again?"
"Haha, I'm not trying to run away. I have something to discuss with my master. I'm not trying to be lazy and run away." Zheng Ya didn't want to be bothered by him about his insights from later generations.
Later generations' empirical theories are fine to talk about occasionally.
If we're talking about textbook content, Zheng Ya doesn't have that kind of talent.
Brigade Commander Lei objected, grabbing his arm and refusing to let go: "No, if you have something to say to Old Sun, you might as well talk to me first."
Perhaps I can help you get it done?
What, you look down on an old revolutionary like me?
"No, that's too polite!" Zheng Ya had no way to express his frustration, wanting to provide the country with more grain seeds but having no other options!
The main reason is that Zheng Ya didn't want to expose his supernatural space, so he couldn't explain how he could produce more than 250 tons of grain seeds overnight.
Furthermore, it's uncertain whether Zhengde could supply Zhengya with over 250 tons of grain seeds per day.
This put Zheng Ya in a dilemma, as he dared not easily reveal his special ability space. He wanted to increase his Zhengde Points income, but what should he do?
Find a master, tell a huge lie, and go to a deep mountain cave to transport out a large quantity of grain seeds, saying that they were experimentally grown and came in handy. It's all to save the people from starvation. Perfect.
Such a thing could only be done by the master, not by Brigade Commander Lei; it depended on their relationship and the need for secrecy.
Seeing that he was unwilling to talk, Brigade Commander Lei did not press him, so he released his arm and said, "Alright then, just go and come back quickly."
"Alright, I'll tell you about the formation and significance of special forces when I get back from my master. See you later!" Zheng Ya said and left.
The remaining Brigade Commander Lei, itching with curiosity, scratched his head and muttered, "Can special forces soldiers be better than our army's reconnaissance soldiers?"
"Brigade Commander, Comrade Zheng Ya is a martial arts master. His strength is beyond our reach, and his ability to understand the essence of all things in the world is far beyond our comprehension."
"Think about it," Battalion Commander Qi said admiringly. "Comrade Zheng Ya's proposal that 'to get rich, build roads first' and his planning for environmental planting and farmland—aren't these all great principles that benefit the country and the people?"
Commander Lei retorted, "You're so eager to retire, all you want is to be a security officer for Zheng Ya. You're so unambitious."
He's already speaking well of Zheng Ya even before he's retired?
You've really disappointed me. I've guided you to success, and this is how you repay me? Wouldn't it have been better to stay in the army and protect our country?
"Brigade Commander, you know I don't want to be a peace soldier. In this era without war, the internal development of the country is of paramount importance."
My application to retire and contribute to the nation is also a way of serving the country and its people.
Besides, I wrote in my application that I would return if called upon in case of war! Battalion Commander Qi felt somewhat guilty for his mentorship.
But when he saw Zheng Ya's groundbreaking planting base plan, his ambition to build the country was rekindled!
