Zheng Ya led Secretary Song and ten special envoys to the central pavilion of the planting base, where they watched over six hundred people working under the scorching sun.
The entire team was filled with enthusiasm for labor, and the soldiers worked with all their might.
Working tirelessly is an honor for labor.
Those who shirk their responsibilities, slack off, or try to cheat will only be eliminated by the organization.
The soldiers' eager participation in the labor ignited the enthusiasm of the ten special envoys, who were all eager to try.
However, what benefited and shocked them the most was Zheng Ya's words, which shattered the ten people's preconceived notions about Zheng Ya.
Ouyang Wenqian said with a puzzled look, "Comrade Zheng Ya, you are a freshman, but you dropped out of school due to family circumstances."
If I'm not mistaken, you studied economics, so why are you farming at home?
“My friend, our ancestors were pioneers in cultivating the earth!” Zheng Ya replied with a smile. Trying to make things difficult for someone like that? That’s too childish.
Ouyang Wenli retorted, unconvinced, "Comrade Zheng Ya speaks so wittily, I wonder how many generations of ancestors he has inherited this style?"
"Father's sperm and mother's blood, the aspirations of our ancestors, the inheritance of national traditions, are you satisfied?" Zheng Ya felt that these twin sisters were not to be trifled with, and they came up with a confrontation right from the start.
Qian Mingliang interjected, "You've really mastered economics. You're amazing."
"Whose profits are accrued for the seeds cultivated at your planting base, after we conduct research and development, and for the sale of the seeds?"
"Secretary Song, you've neglected your duty!" Zheng Ya turned to Secretary Song, who was studying with the Crown Prince on his right, and confronted him, not wanting to bring up the matter again.
Secretary Song slapped his forehead: "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, it's my fault. I forgot about important things when I got busy with work."
Dear students, Comrade Zheng Ya has already addressed the questions raised by Qian Mingliang.
To put it simply, your existence is to serve the country and the people. You work at Zheng Ya's planting base, receive a government salary, and develop and research the seeds that Comrade Zheng Ya fostered for the country and the people. The results and profits from the seeds are all assets of the country.
Comrade Zheng Ya meant that you should be the seeds of the nation, sown generation after generation, so that production will not decrease, but rather increase.
I don't know the specifics, you guys discuss it amongst yourselves.
"May I ask what Comrade Zheng Ya's plans are?" Qian Mingliang had basically accepted Zheng Ya as a person and couldn't wait to get started.
Before they arrived, all ten of them had seen the grain seeds that Zheng Ya had cultivated.
If I had to describe it in one word: unprecedented.
The prospect is described as: immeasurable merit.
This signifies unparalleled glory.
Therefore, it's perfectly reasonable for them not to want to become a stepping stone for Zheng Ya, and to make things difficult for him from the start.
Serving the country and its people is what we should do. We can also gain research and development results, which will bring us glory for life, live up to our parents' kindness in raising us, and serve our country.
Zheng Ya smiled: "As you can all see, my planting base is basically completed."
Only the irrigation ditches around the base remain, which are being dug and constructed by the soldiers and officers, and are of little use for planting this season.
Therefore, seed planting can begin at any time, and naturally, there is a plan.
First, the planting in the experimental fields: each type of seed was divided into ten experimental fields, and different waste materials were used for planting tests. The results were recorded one by one, and targeted research and development were carried out.
Secondly, the growth, grafting, and hybridization of each seed can be developed and researched in different forms.
Third, research and development on seed planting waste should be carried out simultaneously.
Fourth, I will temporarily provide seeds of grades nine to seven for your planting, research, and development..."
"Wait, what does 'ninth grade to seventh grade' mean? Does that mean the seeds you've nurtured have several grades?" Ouyang Wenqian exclaimed in shock, grasping at the key words.
The others were also surprised, feeling a mix of joy and bewilderment. They had already cultivated many different grades of seeds, so what were we supposed to research?
Isn't this just like accompanying the prince in his studies, or being a mere companion?
Zheng Ya said with a laugh, "Let me put it this way."
Whether it's ginseng or lingzhi, or all sorts of crops, fruits, and vegetable seeds, I can nurture them to reach a quality that lasts from one hundred to nine hundred years.
This means that a seed that is 100 years old is classified into nine grades, while a seed that is 900 years old is classified into one grade.
However, you are all top students from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, so you should know that seeds have very high requirements for soil, water, and fertilizer.
I can induce the growth of seeds of grades one through nine, but I cannot guarantee that these seeds will grow throughout the country.
Your existence is to spread the seeds I have nurtured, from one to nine, throughout the country.
That is your honor and battlefield, and has nothing to do with me, a seeded honorary player. It's like a different division of labor in the revolution, where each person shines in their own way.
Do you have any further questions?
"My God, we've benefited immensely from your kindness, what a wonderful thing!" Ouyang Wenli exclaimed in shock, her words immediately making the others feel embarrassed, and everyone looked awkward.
Before they came, they discussed how to give Zheng Ya a hard time.
They discussed that they could not allow Zheng Ya to act unilaterally, hold onto the seeds, and cause separatism. They resolved to guide Zheng Ya to the highest level of national interest and establish a planting base.
Now, look what happened!
Unfortunately, Ouyang Wenli, being so heartless, exposed the matter. Doesn't she have any shame?
Young people, who doesn't have a strong sense of self-esteem and care about saving face?
Of course, Ouyang Wenli is an exception; she's a completely naive and innocent girl who can't hide anything from anyone!
Ouyang Wenqian sighed and said, "Ahem, sorry, my sister just speaks without thinking, please bear with her!"
"Haha, I think she's honest and straightforward, not hypocritical at all. She speaks her mind and has nothing to hide, doesn't she?" Zheng Ya has long been operating the planting base openly and transparently, without any secrets or concealment.
In fact, Secretary Song was too busy with work and forgot to communicate some of the information with these ten people, which caused a certain misunderstanding.
Naturally, the ten top students from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences were more or less influenced by Hu Donglai's instigation in their thinking and judgment.
In order to better manage the planting base, Zheng Ya had no intention of hiding anything to avoid being secretly instigated to cause trouble.
It would be better to settle things once and for all and just say everything outright.
This puts all ten people in an awkward position.
Secretary Song stepped forward to smooth things over: "Alright, everyone, we've all witnessed Comrade Zheng Ya's dedication to the country and the people, his open and honest approach in establishing the planting base."
They also learned about Comrade Zheng Ya's planning and management of the planting base.
Then you should join hands and work together to develop and research high-quality seeds suitable for the country and its people.
We absolutely cannot allow the seeds nurtured by Comrade Zheng Ya to be tarnished!
"Yes, Comrade Zheng Ya can cultivate high-quality seeds from grade one to nine, but he cannot guarantee that these seeds will grow to maturity!"
"This is the topic we should be developing and researching!" Qian Mingliang said with emotion, making a firm decision in his mind to live up to the expectations of the country.
The other nine were full of confidence: "We guarantee to complete the mission!"
"Haha, good, I'm relieved that you've reached an agreement, haha!" Secretary Song laughed, feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, and he felt completely at ease!
