Currently, natural disasters are occurring frequently in China, resulting in crop failures in various regions.
The food crisis is becoming increasingly severe, and famine-induced exodus has occurred in many places.
Grain seeds and various crop and vegetable seeds urgently need to be improved to increase yields; otherwise, it will be difficult to cope with the increasing number of natural disasters.
This will also cause more people to starve to death due to lack of food.
The Ministry of Agriculture faces the greatest pressure in this regard.
Sure enough, as soon as Zheng Ya took out a rectangular box made of Phoebe zhennan wood and mentioned the high-quality seeds, the Minister of Agriculture was startled and rushed to Zheng Ya to open the box, losing his composure.
"Crunch," Zheng Ya didn't stop him and let him open the box.
The box contained eighteen kinds of seeds, including corn kernels, peanuts, wheat, potatoes, sweet potatoes, Chinese cabbage seeds, bok choy, radishes, carrots, and more.
The Minister of Agriculture grabbed a type of seed and exclaimed in surprise, "My God, these peanuts are so big, they're about the size of a thumb!"
And this corn kernel is about the size of a broad bean.
"My goodness, you cultivated all these seeds, that's wonderful..."
"Minister Xiao, you've lost your composure!" The leader couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him. A leader should act like a leader. What kind of behavior is this, jumping around like this?
The Minister of Agriculture smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I got too excited. I just couldn't help but get excited when I saw such high-quality seeds!"
With these high-quality seeds, our people will no longer go hungry! That's wonderful!
"Leader, don't get too excited yet."
After all, these seeds were cultivated by me using martial arts internal energy, combined with fertilizers such as chemical fertilizers.
In theory, these seeds can be planted.
However, before large-scale planting, trial planting is necessary to observe the seed growth and harvest to ensure successful implementation.
Therefore, I applied to the Tongluo Lane Subdistrict Office to lease the back hill forest, intending to try planting these seeds.
"However, the approval for the back mountain forest hasn't been granted yet, so I can only wait and see." Zheng Ya explained the layout with a smile.
That's right, it's all about layout.
Seeds that have been stimulated by positive and negative values are adapted to various harsh climates without affecting growth and yield.
However, the yield and the quality of the seeds vary depending on the local conditions.
This means the seeds can be distributed and sown throughout the country.
But where did all those seeds come from?
Zheng Ya couldn't possibly consume enough positive virtue and negative heart value to generate enough seeds to be sown all over the country, nor did he have that many positive virtue and negative heart value.
This requires sowing a batch first, and then sowing again after the seeds mature, gradually increasing the sowing quantity and area until there are enough seeds to distribute throughout the country.
This process could take several years.
Obviously, this matter cannot be delayed, otherwise it would be equivalent to losing a season's worth of seed production.
Therefore, Zheng Ya brought the seeds before the apprenticeship banquet and asked the leadership to help with the aftermath.
Of course, what prompted Zheng Ya to take out the seeds depended on the attitude of the guests.
At first, some people gave Zheng Ya a few points of deceit, but only a dozen or so.
Since no one knew them, some people might have misunderstood that Zheng Ya had gotten lucky and ended up with a miracle doctor like Elder Sun as his master, which might have caused some resentment.
Even the slightest opinion, once it crosses your mind and becomes a thought, is equivalent to a willful plan for Zheng Ya to do this or that, which then evolves into a value of betrayal.
It wasn't until Zheng Ya gave everyone a bowl of Dragon and Tiger Bone-Setting Soup to drink, and they received the benefit of cleansing their marrow and eliminating their ailments, that everyone contributed their righteous virtue.
In just half an hour, he earned over 460,000 Zhengde coins.
Such a large benefit likely comes from middle and high-ranking officials in the country. Helping them improve their physical condition is equivalent to changing the fate of many things and many people, thus contributing a great deal of moral virtue.
Through this tangible revenue generation, Zheng Ya realized that he still needed to take the high-end route, assisting the leader in benefiting all people in order to create a huge amount of Zhengde value revenue.
With more positive virtue points in income, even if it helps the people of the whole country consume positive and negative virtue points to generate a large number of seeds, that's not a problem!
It's like an investment; if the return is high, then invest and give it your all—isn't that great?
Because Zhengde's income was considerable, Zheng Ya brought the seed business to the forefront, taking a high-end approach to gain fame and benefit the people—a win-win situation.
The Minister of Agriculture was taken aback: "Old Sun, how about you give this apprentice to our Ministry of Agriculture?"
As you know, the seeds he developed are of immense significance to the country and its people…
"You're just too impatient. Didn't you hear what my good disciple was saying?"
These high-quality seeds were cultivated using internal energy combined with chemical fertilizers; they were not seeds that were researched and improved.
To put it bluntly, my dear disciple's internal energy is limited, making it impossible to perform large-scale assisted growth and cultivation. He can only perform assisted growth and cultivation in his private garden.
As for the quantity of seeds, can only the Ministry of Agriculture implement large-scale seed distribution and gradually increase the quantity to achieve nationwide distribution? Old Sun objected, saying that keeping such an excellent apprentice in the Ministry of Agriculture was a waste of talent!
The Minister of Agriculture still wanted to try, but the leader spoke up: "Old Sun is right. Cultivating seeds into new varieties is a long-term process."
The growth period for bok choy seeds is relatively short, taking as little as half a month to a month to cultivate.
If you switch to rice or wheat, it will take several months to cultivate.
This period would have been a waste for Comrade Zheng Ya.
Comrade Zheng Ya's role is to develop more new and high-quality seeds and provide seed popularization and research for your Ministry of Agriculture.
Therefore, you shouldn't be trying to poach talent from Elder Sun, but rather you should be providing convenience for Comrade Zheng Ya, assisting him in cultivating various high-quality seeds as quickly and effectively as possible. That's the important thing!
"The leader is right. I was short-sighted. Our Ministry of Agriculture will definitely do our utmost in this matter." The Minister of Agriculture excitedly made this pledge, full of confidence!
Only then was Master Sun satisfied. How could he let someone poach his good apprentice?
Zheng Ya smiled and said, "Distinguished guests, you may wish to try this batch of seeds. Peanuts and corn kernels can be eaten raw."
Don't feel bad about eating them; you can plant them and harvest a large number of seeds when they mature.
This concern is completely unnecessary.
I don't have large quantities of seeds, but I do have hundreds or thousands of kilograms.
I also need your feedback on the seeds so I can better guide their cultivation. Please, help me!
"Haha, let's try some then!" the leader said excitedly, and everyone was given three to five peanuts and corn kernels.
The Minister of Agriculture treated any more like baby chicks, holding them close and not giving any more to anyone.
He drew cheers from the entire audience, and no one could do anything about it.
Then came a surge in Zhengde Points income. Zheng Ya smiled. Sure enough, the deliciousness of peanuts and corn kernels could cause everyone to frantically offer them. It was truly delightful!
The leader ate with increasing delight: "These peanuts taste almost like small fruits—crisp, sweet, and fragrant. They're delicious!"
"Yes, it's delicious! And these corn kernels, bigger than broad beans, are so crisp and sweet, they're so good!"
"The Chinese people are saved! Great! Haha!"
