Chapter 938 Hybrid Rice

The farmers' faces are filled with the joy of harvest, the workers are busy in the workshops, the machines are roaring, and there is a scene of prosperity everywhere...

Chu Ze suddenly stood up and strode out of the study.

He will immediately convene agricultural experts and officials to discuss plans to promote hybrid rice.

He firmly believes that as long as we work together, we will be able to create a new era in which agriculture and industry can keep pace with each other!

As soon as Yang Cai and Wu Ping walked out of the palace, they saw a chamberlain running over in a hurry and said out of breath: "Master Yang, Master Wu Ping, the prince has invited you! He said there are important agricultural plans to be announced!"

The two of them looked at each other, both shocked.

Yang Cai asked: "Agricultural plan? Could it be..."

Wu Ping also looked puzzled and said: "I wonder what the prince has to say? Let's go see the prince quickly!"

The two quickly followed the chamberlain and returned to the palace.

I saw that Chu Ze had been waiting in the main hall for a long time, and there were a few unfamiliar faces standing beside him.

When Chu Ze saw the two of them, he looked happy and waved for them to come forward.

"Yang Cai, Wu Ping, you are here at the right time! I have just discussed a major plan with these agricultural experts to promote hybrid rice across the country!"

"Hybrid rice?" Yang Cai and Wu Ping were both stunned, and then suddenly realized.

"Your Majesty is wise! If hybrid rice can be promoted, it will greatly increase food production and solve agricultural difficulties!"

Chu Ze nodded and smiled: "That's right. We need to select high-quality seed sources across the country and cultivate high-yielding hybrid rice varieties. At the same time, we need to vigorously publicize the advantages of hybrid rice and encourage farmers to plant it. We also need to send dedicated personnel to guide farmers to master it. Hybrid rice planting technology ensures a bumper harvest.”

Yang Cai said excitedly: "Your Majesty is really a mastermind! Wei Chen is willing to contribute to the promotion of hybrid rice, even if he loses his leg!"

Wu Ping also spoke generously: "The prince's decision is wise, and I will give my full support! Provide sufficient funds and material support for the hybrid rice project!"

Chu Ze nodded with satisfaction, looked around the crowd, and said firmly and forcefully: "Everyone, the promotion of hybrid rice is related to the national destiny of our Ming Dynasty. Agriculture and industry, like the wings of a bird, jointly hold up this great era. Let us go hand in hand. , create a prosperous era where the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is prosperous and the people are strong!”

"We vow to work together with the prince to create a prosperous world!" Yang Cai, Wu Ping and agricultural experts shouted in unison, their voices resounding through the sky.

Chu Ze waved his hand and said: "Everyone, go back and think about it first. Write down any ideas in your mind and come over for a meeting tomorrow morning.

Everyone accepted the order and retreated one after another.

Yang Cai and Wu Ping looked at each other, their eyes full of excitement and determination.

They knew that a magnificent agricultural revolution was quietly emerging on this ancient land.

Chu Ze stood alone at the door, looking at the retreating figures of everyone, with a confident smile on his lips.

He thought to himself: "Hybrid rice is a risky move, but it is also a key step for the rise of the Ming Dynasty. As long as agriculture is stable, industry will have a solid backing. By then, who can stop the rise of the Ming Dynasty? "The seeds of hybrid rice are taking root and sprouting in this ancient land, ready to start a new era.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the main hall of Fengyang Palace, Chu Ze had already been waiting in front of the case for a long time.

His expression was solemn, but there was a sense of determination and confidence between his brows.

He stood up slowly and walked to the window.

The streets of Fengyang City gradually became noisy. Farmers carried hoes on their shoulders and walked to the fields facing the rising sun.

"These hard-working and simple farmers, you have worked hard on the land all your lives, but you have never been able to get rid of the shackles of poverty." Chu Ze's eyes were full of pity: "I hope hybrid rice can bring you new hope, so that Our lives are getting better day by day!”

He sighed and turned back to the case.

At this time, Yang Cai, Zhao Si, Wu Ping and others entered the hall one after another, saluted Chu Ze and took their seats one by one.

Chu Ze looked around the crowd and said slowly: "Everyone, yesterday we discussed the promotion of hybrid rice, and I think everyone has something to think about. I have called you here today to further discuss the specific implementation plan."

When everyone heard this, their expressions became solemn.

Yang Cai was the first to speak: "Prince Qi, Weichen believes that in order to promote hybrid rice, we must first establish a specialized institution to be responsible for research, cultivation and promotion. Weichen suggested establishing an agricultural department to recruit agricultural experts and talents to brainstorm , work together to advance this matter.”

"Department of Agriculture..." Chu Ze was thoughtful, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, this is a good idea! The agricultural revolution requires a solid think tank, and the establishment of the Department of Agriculture is imperative."

Zhao Si also said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen believes that in addition to absorbing agricultural experts, the Department of Agriculture should also pay attention to the practical experience of grassroots farmers. After all, hybrid rice needs to take root in the fields of thousands of households. Without the support and participation of farmers, No matter how good the policy is, it is difficult to implement it.”

"What Zhao Si said makes sense." Chu Ze nodded in approval: "Farmers have been with the land for generations, and they have the simplest and most profound understanding of the land. The Department of Agriculture must learn from them with an open mind and let them become leaders in promoting hybrid rice. The main force!”

Wu Ping also offered advice: "Your Majesty, after the Department of Agriculture is established, detailed incentive policies must be formulated to encourage farmers to plant hybrid rice. For example, preferential treatment will be provided in terms of taxes, loans, purchases, etc., so that farmers can see the real benefits of growing hybrid rice. the benefits of."

"Okay!" Chu Ze said decisively: "Farmers care most about their own interests. If growing hybrid rice can make their pockets bigger, they will naturally participate actively. The Ministry of Household Affairs must show sincerity and show practical results. Real preferential policies! ”

Wu Ping heard this and said excitedly: "Your Majesty is wise! I will do my best to implement the preferential policies and let the farmer brothers enjoy the dividends brought by hybrid rice!"

Everyone spoke to each other and expressed their opinions, and the discussion in the conference room was in full swing.

Chu Ze listened carefully, sometimes nodding, sometimes pondering.

He secretly sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, there are many people with broad wisdom, and the wisdom of everyone can be summarized. With the help of these good ministers, I believe that the promotion of hybrid rice will go smoothly."

He stood up, slowly looked around the crowd and said, "What you all said is absolutely true. The establishment of the Department of Agriculture, the formulation of preferential policies, and the participation of grassroots farmers are all key links in the promotion of hybrid rice. I request that everything must be done in the shortest possible time. A detailed plan will be developed within the specified time and must be implemented to the letter! ”

"Yes!" All the ministers agreed in unison, all with high morale.
