Chapter 622 Production and planning!
"This one is big, mine is big."

In the field, shouts were heard from time to time. Everyone was competing to see who could pick out the biggest sweet potato. Cheers also came one after another.

Even though the people who work here are all prisoners, the farm has a good harvest and they can eat a few more mouthfuls, so they will naturally be happy.

These sweet potatoes are their hope.

Although sweet potatoes cannot be used as a staple food, they have high yields and can satisfy hunger at critical moments and prevent people from starving to death.

Especially in some hilly and barren land, the yield of wheat and corn is appallingly low. However, sweet potatoes are the only crop that does not require too much care, is drought-resistant, and does not require much land selection, so the yield is relatively high, and it is the first choice in some places. .

"Weidong, look at this quickly. It weighs six or seven pounds, right?"

Zhao Haifeng held a big sweet potato and rushed to Li Weidong excitedly, seemingly showing off his luck.

At this time, Zhao Haifeng didn't have the airs of a captain at all, and his face was filled with deep joy.

"It's quite big."

Li Weidong was also a little surprised. In future generations, even 67 or [-] kilograms of sweet potatoes can be made for you, let alone six or seven kilograms, but this is still a bit rare.

However, it is not unusual for a few sweet potatoes to grow extremely large in an acre of land.

Now he is more concerned about the yield of one acre of land.

Fortunately, Zhao Haifeng didn't keep him waiting for too long. With more people, the work would go faster. One acre of land was quickly cleared, and then he put the harvested sweet potatoes into a frame and started weighing them.

After each frame, Zhou Ji would take a notebook and write it down, and even the farm's accountant would be pushed aside by him.

Finally, when all the sweet potatoes were weighed, Zhou Ji began to calculate the total.

Seeing his frown, Zhao Haifeng wished he could push him away.

Can you do it?
If that doesn't work, get out of the way and let the professionals do it.

Fortunately, Zhou Ji didn't keep everyone waiting for long. When he calculated it, he put the notebook away and looked at Zhao Haifeng with a straight face.

"Captain, guess how many?"

"You're guessing, tell me quickly."

Zhao Haifeng glared at Zhou Ji angrily, and even grabbed the notebook impatiently, then looked at the calculated numbers on it and laughed.

"1752 jins, Weidong, our Weidong No. 1752, the yield per mu is [-] jins, a bumper harvest, a great harvest."

As the captain of a farm, it is impossible for Zhao Haifeng not to know the yield of sweet potatoes per acre.

The land here on the farm is relatively flat and fertile, and with the large number of people and abundant water supply, the normal yield is higher than that of some barren land, but even so, the yield is only about 1200 kilograms per mu.

Like those in hilly areas, it only weighs seven or eight hundred pounds.

Don't look at future generations, the yield per mu can easily reach [-] to [-] jins, or even tens of thousands of jins.

But this was only 63, and domestic chemical fertilizers were just in their infancy, far from being able to supply the entire country, let alone growing sweet potatoes.

Therefore, a yield of more than [-] kilograms per mu is already a very high yield.

But now, the weight of Weidong No. 1752 planted on the same acre of land has reached [-] pounds. What is the concept?
Compared with ordinary sweet potatoes, the yield increased by more than [-]%.

It was almost consistent with what Professor Zhao expected at the beginning.

Even more.

How could this make Zhao Haifeng unhappy?

Although it had been known for a long time that there might be such a yield, at that time it was only Professor Zhao's calculation and no one had actually dug it out. No one was sure whether it was there or not.

But now, when the production is in front of me, my heart is completely put into my stomach.

With the yield of this acre, the rest will definitely not be much different.

It can be said that it was a great harvest.

"Not bad, thank you for your hard work, Captain."

Although there was some joy on Li Weidong's face, it was far less intense than others.

When he was just weighing himself, he was doing the math in his mind. After the weighing was over and before the clock started counting, the number 1752 appeared in his mind.

Naturally, he was not as excited as Zhao Haifeng.

"Hey, what kind of hard work do I have? You should be the one who really works hard. Think about how you stayed in the greenhouse for a month. Many people called you Technician Li. Now, I don't think their faces are swollen. swell."

Zhao Haifeng said in relief.

"These are all trivial matters, but as for the captain, I'm afraid I have to trouble you to report the good news."

Li Weidong said at this time.

"I go?"

Zhao Haifeng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

"No, this is your credit. It should also be you who told the captain this good news. What kind of thing should I do?"

"You are the captain of the Sixth Farm. These sweet potatoes are on your farm. If you don't go, who will?

What's more, my current identity no longer belongs here, and it's not convenient to go there, so I'd better trouble you, captain. "

Li Weidong shook his head.

Although he had no major conflict with Zhang Xingwu, since the incident involving Wang Zhenyi and Xiang Tianming, as well as that actual combat exercise, there has actually been a deep rift in the relationship between the two parties.

The only thing that can still be maintained now may be these Weidong-[-] that are about to be harvested.

It is also the time when Li Weidong wants the other party to fulfill his promise.

Li Weidong is not worried at all about whether the other party will regret it.

Zhang Xingwu is a smart man, and he pays more attention to personal achievements. This cannot be hidden from Li Weidong at all.

It is precisely because of this that the other party will definitely not let go of this big dish in front of him.

Even if Weidong No. [-] was cultivated by him, Li Weidong, even if it is on the Sixth Farm, the Sixth Farm is not under his control?
On the contrary, even if it didn't matter, Zhang Xingwu would try every means to get involved, not to mention that this was on his territory.

As long as he waves gently, no one can take away his share of achievements.

In this case, Li Weidong is his closest comrade-in-arms.

The cracks in the past will naturally disappear.

At least in this matter, not only will the other party not make it difficult for Li Weidong, but he will be more eager than Li Weidong.

"Okay, then I'll go."

Zhao Haifeng thought for a while and agreed.

Then he put on his shoes, didn't even bother to wash his hands, got on his bicycle, and headed straight to the prison.

After just waiting for about 10 minutes, a jeep kicked up a cloud of dust and drove quickly into the Sixth Farm. Then when there was no way out, two people jumped out of the car, it was Zhang Xingwu and Zhao Haifeng.

Judging from the distance, I'm afraid that as soon as Zhao Haifeng arrived at Zhang Xingwu's office, the other party asked someone to drive them over without saying a word. Even Zhao Haifeng's bicycle was left behind at the prison.

"Weidong, when did you come here? Why don't you go to the prison to sit there?"

Zhang Xingwu said with a smile on his face from a distance away.

However, his eyes kept looking into the baskets filled with sweet potatoes placed aside, as if he had seen something rare.

"I just arrived not long ago. I wanted to give the captain a surprise, so I asked Captain Zhao to harvest sweet potatoes from an acre of land. I will not report back until the yield comes out." Li Weidong said neatly.

"Captain Zhao just told me about the yield on the way. The yield per mu is 1752 kilograms, right?"

When mentioning this, Zhang Xingwu's eyes were filled with eagerness.

This is big news.

With his previous relationship, he can definitely get it into the newspapers as quickly as possible. Countless people will know about it by then. His name, Zhang Xingwu, is naturally indispensable.

In this way, won't the achievements come?
The only problem now is that because of some false reports, such as the yield of [-] kilograms of wheat per acre, people will instinctively be suspicious when they see this kind of news.

But it doesn't matter. When the time comes, he will find a few more newspapers and a few model workers to come here and pick sweet potatoes together, and then show the real output.

I believe that with so many model workers vouching for it, everyone will believe it.

Of course, his real purpose is not to show it to the common people, but to show it to the leaders above.

If the leader wants to verify whether it is true, it will be even simpler. When the time comes, he will leave a few acres and wait for the leader to send someone to check and accept it.

After such a combination of punches, all the face was earned.

"Yes, now that the captain is here, do you want to let them take another look at it?"

Although the sweet potatoes are right there, Zhang Xingwu didn't see them with his own eyes, so he still had some doubts in his heart, so Li Weidong simply suggested.

"also."

Zhang Xingwu hesitated, but did not refuse.

After all, he really had some doubts in his heart.

He himself has done such things as cheating, not to mention others. It is precisely because of this that he cannot trust others but only himself.

After he verified it with his own eyes, he could then use his past connections to promote it.

Otherwise, if something happens, he himself will be implicated in some ways.

That would be worth the loss.

"Captain Zhao, I can only work harder on you."

Zhang Xingwu simply said to Zhao Haifeng himself.

"What's the point? I just saw such a high output, and I feel a little nervous. Let's verify it one more time. This is also a serious and responsible attitude."

Zhao Haifeng naturally would not reject Zhang Xingwu's proposal and said immediately.

"Yes, you have to be serious and responsible when doing things. We must be responsible for *****."

Zhang Xingwu said seriously.

Then, the excavation started again.

With the experience just now, it was faster this time. Under Zhang Xingwu's own eyes, one acre of land was quickly cleared. During the process, Zhang Xingwu even went around the field twice in person.

But judging from his appearance, it was not for supervision, but to measure the area of ​​the acre of land to see if it was really one acre. Don't make one and a half acres of land and pretend to be one acre.

This kind of thing has happened before.

After he personally confirmed it, Zhang Xingwu felt relieved, and then he began to pay attention to the sweet potatoes picked out from the ground, especially the big ones. He also asked him to pick them up and weigh them.

After one acre of land was cleared, the weighing process began. During this process, Zhang Xingwu also personally took the scale and studied it. He only started after confirming that there was no problem with the weighing.

Not long after, the output of this acre of land was also calculated.

1833 pounds.

Compared with the previous acre, it was even more than 80 kilograms more.

The examples of the two pieces of land are there, and coupled with Zhang Xingwu's personal verification, they are basically inseparable.

It can be seen that the smile on Zhang Xingwu's face is obviously brighter, and the look he looks at Li Weidong directly increases his favorability.

"Weidong, do you have time these two days?

I plan to find the newspaper tomorrow, no, later, and invite them to report it tomorrow. Don't worry, I will never break my promise to you.

I will use all my connections to build the reputation of Weidong No. [-].

If you have any other requests, you can tell me directly. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse. "

Zhang Xingwu said directly.

Now, it is naturally time to negotiate terms.

Zhang Xingwu's intention is clear. I agree to all your Li Weidong's requests and even do my best to help you publicize it. But I can't help you in vain, right?

What do I get in exchange?
This is Zhang Xingwu's subtext.

"Captain, the reason why I decided to cultivate Weidong No. [-] was mainly because I grew up in a rural area. I was often hungry when I was a child, so I always had an idea in my heart, that is, I hope that one day I can do something Things, don’t let so many people go hungry.

So by chance, I learned about greenhouses, and then I went to ask Professor Zhao for advice, and got Professor Zhao's approval, so I started the cultivation of Weidong No. [-].

With the help of Professor Zhao, we finally got some results.

Therefore, I hope that the scale of the experimental fields can be increased in the future. For example, it is best to plant all the six farms under our prison next year.

We can even turn the six major farms into specialized breeding bases in the future.

We are only responsible for planting this kind of Weidong No. [-] every year, and then supplying it to the surrounding rural areas. Even the Weidong No. [-] in other provinces is allowed to plant Weidong No. [-] earlier to grow more food.

That's enough.

I wonder if the captain can fulfill my little wish? "

Li Weidong started telling stories again, even more familiar this time because of his previous experience.

Not to mention Zhang Xingwu, even the people around him fell silent after hearing this, and looked at Li Weidong with complicated eyes.

The eyes were full of admiration.

"Weidong, your little wish makes me feel guilty. I didn't pay attention to this matter, so I want to apologize to you.

But don’t worry, starting from next year, as long as it’s sweet potato planting season, the six major farms will not plant anything else, and they will all plant Weidong No. [-].

Just like you said, let the six major universities become a base for supplying Weidong No. [-] seeds. We can’t just care about ourselves, but we must let more people plant Weidong No. [-] seeds as early as possible. "

Zhang Xingwu is indeed an old fox-level figure, and he has a keen sense of smell in some aspects.

When Li Weidong proposed to build the six major farms into specialized seedling supply bases, he knew that the opportunity had come.

Compared with producing other grains, how important is it to directly supply seedlings?
After all, you can buy food, and you can even grow food during the season when sweet potatoes are not grown, so it won’t delay things.

It's just a change of name.

But in this way, the importance of the six farms in the prison will be greatly increased.

what is this?
It's a political achievement!
But for Li Weidong, it was also a profit.

Because the earlier Weidong No. [-] is promoted and the wider it is, the greater its profits will be.

For him, it was building a golden body.
