The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

Isn't this creating a blood feud?

Of course, Director Yang didn't care about this at all, since those who could be transferred by Li Xinmin had nothing to do with Li Xinmin.

Upon hearing Li Xinmin's words, Factory Director Yang nodded:

"Thank you very much, Director Li. I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"

Now, Director Yang's mind is completely focused on comforting the deaf old lady; he absolutely cannot let her ruin his future.

Since Li Xinmin had already given him this much face, he naturally wouldn't hold back:

"Alright, since the factory manager has invited us, we have to give him the courtesy!"

What He Yuzhu didn't know was that Li Xinmin had actually given up his personal connections in order to appear weak to the enemy in the steel rolling mill in the future.

However, this has nothing to do with He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu was just saying it casually, since he is not a leader of the steel rolling mill.

Moreover, whether Yi Zhonghai is in the capital or not has nothing to do with me. It's just that this Yi Zhonghai is scheming against me.

I just wanted to teach him a lesson. If I kept bringing this up, it would make a bad impression on my superiors.

So when He Yuzhu found out about this later, he didn't take it seriously.

However, he didn't help Li Xinmin after that. After the reform and opening up, Li Xinmin asked He Yuzhu for help, but He Yuzhu made up an excuse to refuse.

This incident made Li Xinmin hate Director Yang for the rest of his life.

After all, everyone who was with He Yuzhu later became rich, some even getting promoted.

Li Xinmin pushed He Yuzhu away because of this incident. It wasn't that Li Xinmin didn't hate He Yuzhu, but that he simply didn't dare to hate him.

Yi Zhonghai was terrified. It seemed he had arrived early; if he had been late and his name was indeed on the list, he would have nowhere to be buried after death!

Chapter 171: Planting Begins

He Yuzhu, who had been resting at home for three days, had no idea that his plan to take action against Yi Zhonghai had fallen through.

However, Yi Zhonghai never imagined that it was He Yuzhu who had punished him, since the process of transferring technical experts to build the country had already begun long ago.

Yi Zhonghai was not surprised at all when he was transferred, because he was originally a key technical worker and a level seven fitter.

However, Yi Zhonghai really didn't want to go. He couldn't even find anyone to retire in the capital, let alone go to that godforsaken place.

Yi Zhonghai is now thinking of using the method He Yuzhu told him to find someone to take care of him in his old age.

Yi Zhonghai was thinking this, but Qin Huairu was the one facing a problem.

Qin Huairu knew that if Yi Zhonghai found someone to take care of him in his old age, he would completely abandon her.

After all, Yi Zhonghai still occasionally gives himself some cornmeal to maintain his old man's reputation, but what if Yi Zhonghai finds someone to take care of him in his old age?

Qin Huairu knew that there was no cornmeal left.

Therefore, Qin Huairu's biggest goal now is to sabotage Yi Zhonghai's retirement plan.

However, the clever Qin Huairu knew that she couldn't let herself and her son sign that damned retirement contract.

If I sign it, I will be completely tied to Yi Zhonghai, and if things go wrong, I will lose everything.

Moreover, finding a living father for herself or her son is something the intelligent Qin Huairu would never do.

The only solution is to prevent Yi Zhonghai from finding someone to support him in his old age.

What He Yuzhu didn't know was that Qin Huairu, who had previously ruined his blind date, was now ruining Yi Zhonghai's retirement.

From then on, the courtyard houses began a struggle that lasted for more than a decade.

Of course, this has nothing to do with He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu rested at home for three days.

Upon arriving at work, a weary Gu Zhiqi said to He Yuzhu:

"Zhu Zi, since the government won't help you, I've used our research institute and Bureau 716 to apply for 130,000 mu of wasteland."

The drilling technology, pumping technology, power generation technology, and drip irrigation technology you mentioned last time.

They also said that your superior seeds can be tested with 783.

By the way, how's your artificial rainmaking technology coming along?

He Yuzhu shook his head:

"No, I've tried it. The air humidity is too low. Even if we fire a condensation cannon, it won't meet the requirements for rainfall."

As for this year, I don't know, and the number of condensation cannons isn't very large either.

Gu Zhi Qiu said:

"In that case, what do you plan to do with that wasteland I mentioned? Can you manage it?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Of course, we can manage it by hiring some temporary workers, but for 130,000 mu of land, our best seed right now is corn, which yields about 800 jin per mu!"

Potato cultivation is slightly better, yielding around 1,000 jin (500 kg). However, this is under the condition of careful cultivation.

With large-scale planting, the yield is slightly reduced!

It's important to understand that agriculture wasn't developing very rapidly in this era, and it wouldn't have been possible without He Yuzhu's level 8 planting skills.

However, He Yuzhu knew that if he were given four or five years, he was confident that he could produce the same output as in the future.

However, it's not possible yet, since it's only been two years and we've already conducted four or five seed selections in the greenhouse.

It should be noted that the corn yield at that time was only about 300 jin, and until the 1970s, no grain in the world had a yield of more than 1,000 jin.

Wheat and rice yields are even lower; a yield of around 200 jin per mu is considered quite good.

Gu Zhi Qiu was utterly shocked by He Yu Zhu's words:

"What? You're telling the truth? The corn yield can really reach 800 jin?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Of course, I wouldn't lie. This is experimental data, but I started researching this too late."

Two years earlier, the output might have been even higher, but this is the highest output we've seen so far.

However, at this time, production certainly won't reach that much, but we can definitely produce over 700!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Gu Zhiqi said:

"Seven hundred is fine too. When the time comes, the 130,000 mu of land we give you will yield 9.1 million jin of corn."

This will solve our immediate problem!

He Yuzhu said:

"A mere 4,500 tons is nothing, let alone the whole country, it's just a drop in the ocean even in the capital!"

Gu Zhi Qiu said:

"That has nothing to do with us. We mainly care about our work unit, not other places."

We only need to provide a little support!

He Yu knew that over nine million jin of grain sounded like a lot.

However, if we calculate based on a daily ration of one pound per person.

That nine million catties would only be enough for three days' worth of food for the more than three million people in the capital.

We can't even say we're full; we can only say we have enough to eat. When you calculate it that way, there's hardly anything left.

Naturally, it cannot supply many places.

"It can only be used by myself," He Yuzhu thought about it and agreed, then said:

"Okay, then we'll go there tomorrow. As for how to do it, I'll give you the blueprints later. By the way, can we get a tractor here?"

If I could get one, I wouldn't bother with the tractor!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Gu Zhiqi said:

"Although there aren't many of these tractors, our unit can still manage to get a few!"

He Yuzhu said:

"If that's the case, then that's fine. Just wait a moment!"

After speaking, He Yuzhu wrote down a lot of medicinal herbs, and the number of herbs listed later was quite large.

He handed it to Gu Zhi Qiu and said to her:

"Old Gu, get all these things ready!"

Looking at all these medicinal herbs, and in such large quantities, Gu Zhi Qiu asked:

"What do you need so many medicinal herbs for? Aren't they enough for making medicine?"

These are all common medicinal herbs, and there are a lot of them. It's quite easy to get so many herbs.

He Yuzhu said:

"The solution extracted from these medicinal herbs, combined with the grains soaked in it, will not attract insects or cause disease."

Therefore, using this can increase production!
