Siheyuan: Return to the Era of Prosperity

Chapter 7 Greedy
After planting all the crops, Shen Zhiyu had nothing to do, so he began to learn the miscellaneous rice technology and fertilizer technology that he received as a sign-in reward from the system.

The technology awarded this time is the three-line hybrid rice technology that Mr. Yuan started to develop in 1964 and successfully developed in 1973. Simply put, it is a hybrid rice with hybrid advantages produced by combining three types of rice with special abilities.

The current rice yield is 250 kilograms on good land and about 200 kilograms on ordinary land. Three-line hybrid rice can increase the yield by 40%-60%.

However, Shen Zhiyu studied mechanics in technical secondary school and had no relevant learning experience. It would be harmful and useless for him to rashly bring out this technology, and he would not be able to convince others.

Only if he has thoroughly mastered the relevant technology, read the relevant books, and has experimental data, will it not appear out of place when he presents it to others.

However, although three-line hybrid rice was a technology that Yuan Lao had studied in his early years, it still seemed very profound to Shen Zhiyu.

Fortunately, the system explained it very clearly, so he just needed to understand it and did not need to study it in depth. Otherwise, he might end up with a test paper full of answers faster than Mr. Yuan could finish on a blank piece of paper.

Looking at the complicated technology, Shen Zhiyu inexplicably admired these technicians. They were able to develop hybrid rice technology from scratch and save countless lives. It was truly amazing.

Shen Zhiyu had no choice but to go to the library of Sijiucheng Agricultural University every day to borrow books on agriculture, biogenetic subjects, etc. to expand his knowledge system.

I don’t know if it’s due to the time travel, but Shen Zhiyu’s thinking has become more agile and his memory has improved a lot, which has helped him a lot in his studies.

Despite this, he still couldn't figure it out, and he concluded that he was not really suited to research.

Everyone in the courtyard saw that Shen Zhiyu did not go to school or work, but went out early and came back late, so some people began to make malicious speculations.

Some people thought that he must have started to get involved in society. Many people didn't say it on the surface, but they were very happy in their hearts.

Some people thought that he was fooling around outside and corrupting the atmosphere of the courtyard house, and wanted him to move out of the courtyard.

Among them, Jia Zhang was the most active. She had been coveting the three houses of Shen Zhiyu's family for a long time. Now that she had the opportunity, she jumped up and down.

"Old Yi, you are the eldest brother, so it is most appropriate for you to come forward. Who knows what shameful things that kid named Shen will do." Jia Zhang encouraged Yi Zhonghai to convene a meeting of the whole courtyard to drive away Shen Zhiyu and his two siblings so that he could occupy his family's house.

Yi Zhonghai was counting on Jia Dongxu to take care of him in his old age, and he did not dare to offend Jia Zhangshi, so he was quite tempted by her proposal. His main goal now was to make Jia Dongxu grateful to him and lay the foundation for his future retirement.

However, Shen Zhiyu's family identity made him feel quite embarrassed.

"Sister-in-law, Shen Deming just passed away. Isn't it inappropriate for us to do this? Besides, his father is a martyr. I'm afraid the street office will not agree." Yi Zhonghai said in embarrassment.

"What are you afraid of? Just look around the city. There are so many martyrs these days. If there's no one above, no one will care that you're a martyr's relative. The Shen family is from the south, and there's no one above, so there's nothing to be afraid of." Jia Zhang said disdainfully.

"Sister-in-law, what you said makes sense, but I'm afraid the street office will not agree." Although Yi Zhonghai also thought that what Jia Zhangshi thought made sense, he still felt it was not very reliable.

"Well, we won't chase them away. We can just vacate a room in his house for Bang Geng and I to live in. Even if the neighborhood office finds out, they can't say anything. Isn't that what they say about neighborhood unity?" When it comes to her own interests, Jia Zhang's brain is more clever than ever.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with the second and third uncles right away." Yi Zhonghai said.

Jia Zhang urged, "Old Yi, why don't you go quickly? Remember not to let Old Man Yan take advantage of you."

"I can't forget it." Yi Zhonghai said as he walked towards the backyard.

Yi Zhonghai has always looked down on Yan Bugui, thinking that Yan Bugui was disgraced as the manager of the hospital for the sake of a little profit, and was stingy and not like a man.

As long as he and the second uncle Liu Haizhong have discussed it properly, Yan Bugui must agree. Of course, he also looks down on the second uncle Liu Haizhong, but he respects them only to maintain his image.

In the backyard, Liu Haizhong sat on a chair with his eyes closed, fantasizing about himself becoming a leader and feeling the pleasure of being a leader.

Yi Zhonghai stopped when he stepped into Liu Haizhong's house. He thought that he could instigate Liu Haizhong to drive Shen Zhiyu's family out. As long as he didn't come forward, if the street office investigated, it would be Liu Haizhong's problem.

Thinking of this, he stepped into Liu Haizhong's house.

"Second uncle, are you there?"

"Well, uncle, is there something wrong?" Liu Haizhong opened his eyes and looked at Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai said: "The kid from the Shen family in the front yard, Old Shen has been gone for more than 20 days. He was wandering outside one day. I think he has a problem with his thinking. He is insulting the reputation of our civilized courtyard and hindering our progress."

When Liu Haizhong heard that his progress would be delayed, he could no longer sit still and asked Yi Zhonghai, "Uncle, what do you think?"

This is the result that Yi Zhonghai wants. As long as it is about advancement as an official, Liu Haizhong can be easily controlled by him.

"Second Uncle, I think we should hold a meeting of the whole hospital and drive away that guy named Shen." Yi Zhonghai suggested.

When Liu Haizhong heard what Yi Zhonghai said, he couldn't believe it and asked, "What did you say? Drive them away?"

"Well, Second Uncle, it's not me, Old Yi, who's the bad guy. It's mainly that kid named Shen who has really affected our civilized courtyard and everyone's progress." Yi Zhonghai continued to deceive.

Although Liu Haizhong is a power-obsessed person, he is not a brainless person, otherwise he would not have become a seventh-level blacksmith.

He knew that Shen Zhiyu's father Shen Deming sacrificed his life for the steel mill. It was absolutely impossible for him and others to drive them away. This old guy Yi Zhonghai must have some ideas.

Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai with a strange look in his eyes. There was something wrong with this old guy. Who knows what he was planning in his mind?

After thinking it over, Liu Haizhong said, "Old Yi, have you asked Uncle San about this?"

Yi Zhonghai asked in surprise: "Not yet, let's discuss it and then notify the Third Master."

"That won't work. The street office originally asked the three of us to discuss it together. So we should discuss it with Uncle Three first." Liu Haizhong insisted.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Haizhong in surprise. When did he become smart?

Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai, who was in a moody state, and did not continue talking. The boy from the Shen family might become a cadre.

His younger brothers and sisters are good at studying and often bring awards home. Who knows which one of them will become a high-ranking official in the future? He will not offend them for no reason.

In other words, Yi Zhonghai has no children and does not pay attention to the academic performance of the Shen family's children. Liu Haizhong once beat his two useless sons for this reason.

Since Yi Zhonghai did not get the consent from Liu Haizhong, he naturally would not get the consent from Yan Bugui either. He could only find Shen Zhiyu to discuss the matter of borrowing a house when he had time.
