The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Gu Zhiqi was extremely shocked and said:

"Do you know how to do this?"

He Yuzhu said:

"What a joke! I've already developed a drug to control people, is this so difficult?"

Gu Zhi Qiu shook his head:

"No problem, no problem, hahaha, okay, I'll go do it now!"

Then Gu Zhiqi asked:

"Can this be released? After all..."

He Yuzhu sighed and said:

"Let's wait a couple of years. After all, these things still consume a lot of medicinal herbs, and the disasters of the past two years have meant that even if others soak their grain seeds, the yield won't be much."

Not only will medicinal herbs be wasted, but grain yields will also be low, or even nonexistent.

"Why don't we wait until later to announce it? I can guarantee there will be a harvest on this land!"

Gu Zhi Qiu said:

"Sigh, I hope what you're saying is true. If things go well this year, the government will probably use your methods next year!"

He Yuzhu said:

"Well, I hope so, but..."

At this point, He Yuzhu stopped talking, and Gu Zhiqi asked:

"But what?"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and then said:

"But I don't know if it will be in time. You know, these things require a lot of raw materials to supply farmers all over the country."

Moreover, as you just mentioned, drip irrigation requires a lot of technology, and I can't be in two places at once.

As for other places…

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Gu Zhiqi fell silent. Unless the country takes it seriously now, sends people over to learn, and then the whole country starts working on this.

But that was clearly impossible. Gu Zhi Qiu understood that the country only wanted to develop industry rapidly, especially heavy industry.

Otherwise, the government wouldn't have implemented this unified sales policy, which is precisely to avoid waste of resources.

Then we must focus all our efforts on developing the country's industry. Only in this way can we catch up with other countries.

He Yuzhu knew that if things continued this way, not only would the industry fall behind, but other aspects would also lag behind.

However, He Yuzhu knew that he was of little influence and could only do so much.

Once we develop our own CNC machine tools, the country will pay more attention to them.

However, the country has not yet given it full attention.

Gu Zhi Qiu said:

"Okay, I'll go get these medicinal herbs and the tractor. Is there anything else you need?"

He Yuzhu said:

"Once I've drawn up the parts, you can find a factory to make them!"

Gu Zhiqi asked:

"What part?"

He Yuzhu said:

"With the integrated tilling and planting machine, we won't need so much manpower anymore. You'll see when the time comes!"

Gu Zhi Qiu naturally knew this:

"You're talking about mechanized farming. Is that really possible? I've heard it's done this way overseas, but I've never seen it before!"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"It's true, you'll see when the time comes!"

Gu Zhiqi went to get the tractor and herbs, while He Yuzhu started drawing.

After Gu Zhiqi arrived, He Yuzhu handed over the parts he had drawn to Gu Zhiqi.

Then he continued working on his own things. With Gu Zhi Qiu's help, He Yu Zhu's life became much easier.

Ten days later, everything was ready, including Gu Zhi Qiu, He Yu Zhu, and He Yu Zhu's two apprentices.

Instructor Lei and the rest of the 716 Bureau were also standing on the wasteland.

He Yuzhu started adding seeds to the machine, and then drove the tractor to start tilling the land.

As the soil was turned over, and with a little touch, the seeds fell one by one.

You know, in the past, when farming, someone would dig a hole in front, someone else would sow the seeds behind, then cover it with soil, and someone else would water and fertilize it.

It is extremely labor-intensive and very slow.

But now a tractor can finish a mu of land in no time.

He Yuzhu said:

"The rest is irrigation, but drip irrigation is done in this way, and then covered with soil."

Otherwise, the heat would evaporate before it even seeps in.

After saying that, He Yu arranged for people to start setting up drip irrigation, then drilling wells, and installing pumps and generators.

The work began, and as it started, everyone saw that the land quickly became moist.

After explaining all the techniques, he said to Gu Zhi Qiu:

"Old Gu, that's how you do it. If you hurry, it'll be done in a few days. Then you can arrange for someone to take care of it!"

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Gu Zhiqi nodded and then said:

"Okay, leave things here to me!"

After He Yuzhu finished, he drove away. Gu Zhiqi watched the tractor plowing the land. These 130,000 mu could be finished by these tractors in about ten days.

Moreover, many drilling workers have also learned He Yuzhu's drilling techniques.

Drill wells regularly.

Upon seeing this, Instructor Lei said:

"Is what we're doing reliable? There haven't been any natural disasters reported in the country yet."

You're talking about He Yuzhu...

Gu Zhi Qiu said:

"It would be best if there were no disasters, but if there are, then we'll go hungry."

With these grains, or even without them, we have stored up a considerable amount of grain, thanks to these technologies.

Although the initial investment was considerable, He Yuzhu said that these things could be used for many years.

We'll have plenty of grain in the future, so don't worry. If anything goes wrong, I'll take full responsibility!

Upon hearing Gu Zhiqi's words, Instructor Lei shook his head:

"That's not what I meant. It's not that I don't want to take responsibility, but it just feels too far-fetched."

The other country didn't even know there was a crop failure, yet he claimed there was. Maybe last year was just pure luck!

Gu Zhi Qiu said:

"Old Lei, as I just mentioned, this is just in case. Does our research institute still have that much grain in reserve?"

You asked around too, and they said there's not much grain left this year. The higher-ups have said that we need to reduce the rations until we have income from new grain.

You need to know what kind of organization we are. Even organizations like ours have reduced quotas. What if things go wrong like last year?

Even if we reduce the rations, we have nowhere to get food!

Hearing Gu Zhiqi's words, Instructor Lei nodded:

"That's right, you're right. In that case, let's do it here. I support you."

Besides, we didn't use much manpower, just a few tractors!

Gu Zhi Qiu nodded:

"That's right, that's how it is. Alright, since it's almost done, you can get back to your work. This is our institute's grain base!"

Instructor Lei sighed and said:

"I hope Comrade He Yuzhu is wrong, otherwise we ordinary people will suffer greatly!"

Gu Zhi Qiu nodded:

"Yes, but it's never wrong to plan ahead!"

Instructor Lei nodded:
