Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Chapter 939 Civil Discussion
Chu Ze nodded with satisfaction and continued: "The promotion of hybrid rice is a revolution. And revolution is never smooth sailing. Conservative forces and local bureaucrats may become stumbling blocks on our way forward. But no matter what difficulties we encounter , we must all move forward bravely and vow to complete this great revolution!”

"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" Yang Cai said excitedly: "After the Department of Agriculture is established, it will definitely overcome all difficulties and make hybrid rice bloom in the land of Ming Dynasty!"

"Yes!" Zhao Si also spoke generously: "Although I am at the grassroots level, I will do my best to make every farmer a supporter and practitioner of hybrid rice!"

"With the strong leadership of the prince and such a concerted team, Weichen is full of confidence in the prospects of the agricultural revolution!" Wu Ping said with confidence.

Chu Ze looked at these loyal and united ministers, and his heart was filled with strength.

He knew that with such a team, no matter how great the difficulties were, they would eventually be overcome.

"Okay!" Chu Ze waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and said: "I am very pleased that you all have a great cause in mind. The promotion of hybrid rice is related to the well-being of hundreds of millions of farmers and the future of our Ming Dynasty. This is a contribution that will benefit the contemporary era. I hope you will live up to our expectations and help us create a new era for Ming Dynasty's agriculture!"

"I vow to work together with the prince to create a prosperous world!" All the ministers echoed in unison, and the sound shook the hall.

"Okay! Everyone, go down and get ready." Chu Ze waved his hand and said, "I am here to wait for good news!"

All the ministers bowed to leave and filed out.

Yang Cai strode ahead and said with excitement: "Department of Agriculture, this is an unprecedented challenge! Select talents, recruit talents, establish rules and regulations... Every step is of great importance. But there is King Chu With your full support and the cooperation of all my colleagues, we will surely create a new world!”

Wu Ping followed closely, frowning and saying: "How to formulate preferential policies to maximize the enthusiasm of farmers? How to strike a balance between the national treasury and farmers? The Ministry of Household Affairs is not easy to pass..."

Zhao Si touched his chin and murmured to himself: "What do farmer brothers care about most? Are the seeds good, are there enough fertilizers, and can the harvest be sold at a good price... I need to visit the grassroots more and listen to them more." Let hybrid rice truly benefit thousands of households!”

Everyone left the room, each with their own thoughts and secret plans.

Chu Ze stood alone before filing the case, staring at the paper of hybrid rice cultivation, his eyes as determined as a torch.

"Hybrid rice, you will open a new chapter in our Ming Dynasty's agricultural revolution." He murmured to himself, as if in dialogue with history.

"

Early the next morning, Wu Ping came to the Yamen and said to the officials with a serious expression: "Everyone, the prince has ordered to post notices throughout the city to recruit agricultural talents and senior farmers to make suggestions for promoting hybrid rice. This matter It’s a very important matter, so don’t be careless!”

Upon hearing this, the subordinate officials all bowed and promised: "Don't worry, Lord Wu, I will do my best to live up to my trust!"

Wu Ping nodded with satisfaction and continued to give instructions: "The notice should be written more eye-catchingly so that all people in the city know it. Whether they are students studying in official schools or farmers who have been working hard all year round, as long as they have unique insights into agriculture, they can come forward. Come and apply. We’ll be hired on the basis of merit, and we’ll never break our promise!”

"Yes!" The subordinate officers responded in unison and respectfully stepped back to carry out the order.

Not long after, a bright red notice was posted in the streets and alleys of Fengyang City. It read: "At the order of the prince, we are now recruiting agricultural talents to work together on good strategies to promote hybrid rice. Anyone who has expertise in agriculture, regardless of origin, can come to apply..."

As soon as the notice came out, it immediately caused an uproar among the people.

In the teahouse, several businessmen sat together, pointing at the notices and talking about it.

"Did you see it? The prince is going to promote hybrid rice. This is a big deal!" A short and fat businessman exclaimed.

Another businessman with a goatee shook his head and said, "Hybrid rice? I've never heard of it. But since it's the prince's intention, it must be a good thing."

"That's natural!" the pudgy businessman said categorically: "The prince is wise and powerful, and he is most considerate of the sufferings of the people. If this hybrid rice can really be popularized, the lives of the people will definitely be much easier!"

The goatee businessman thought thoughtfully: "However, it is not easy to promote new crops? Farmers are very stubborn. How can we change the crops that our ancestors have grown for generations?"

"That's not necessarily the case." The pudgy businessman said with a smile: "Didn't you see what's written on the notice? Recruiting agricultural talents and generous treatment. If the treatment is really generous, why worry that no one will apply? When the time comes, agriculturists and farmers will work together. We work together, but we still worry about not being able to promote it?”

The goatee businessman suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly: "It makes sense, it makes sense! This prince is really far-sighted. This move may revolutionize the agriculture of our Ming Dynasty!"

In a simple farmhouse, several farmers were gathering under an oil lamp, grinning and studying the notice carefully.

"Oh, this is really a great thing!" A dark-skinned old farmer said excitedly: "I have been farming all my life, what kind of crops have I never seen? If I can join the government as a consultant, it will be really good luck. ah!"

Another younger farmer frowned and said: "Dad, don't be too happy too early. We are farmers, how can we know anything about agriculture? They want educated people, so who should we be to take the lead?"

The old farmer glared at his son unconvincingly and said, "What do you know? I have been working on the land for most of my life, and I have accumulated more experience than any agriculturist. Besides, the notice clearly stated that, regardless of origin, as long as If you have real ability, you can be elected. I’ll give it a try, maybe I can make our chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!”

The young farmer wanted to say more, but the old farmer had already picked up the hoe next to him and strode out of the house with confidence.

The young farmer looked at his father's back and said with mixed feelings in his heart: "Dad has really devoted his youth and sweat to this land all his life. Is hybrid rice a blessing or a curse? I hope it can really bring benefits to our people. Bar……"

In a private school, several scholars were gathering together, pointing at the notices and whispering.

"Hybrid rice? This name sounds unusual." A scholar with slender eyes said: "I wonder how it is different from the rice we usually grow?"

Another scholar with a round face said excitedly: "What difference does it make? The prince has spoken, so it must be a good thing that benefits the people. Besides, if you can be selected as an agricultural talent, it will be a pot of fame and fortune!"
