Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 822
Mu Zhen didn't dare to neglect for a moment, returned to the office, and immediately called the company that provided the seeds.

The people from the seed company were very polite. They said that the wheat variety was imported from abroad, and no similar situation had occurred yet, but they could not rule out the reason for acclimatization to the soil and water. Confirmed by experts.

Mu Zhen pondered over the explanation of the staff of the seed company. They wanted to seek expert certification, and there was an expert in this field beside her, so Mu Zhen picked up the phone and dialed out.

"Where are you? Is it convenient to talk?" Mu Zhen asked directly.

"Brother, what are you talking about?" The person who answered the phone was Mu Bao who was working far away in the provincial capital. Seeing the call from Mu Zhen, Mu Bao felt that this brother who was a manager in his hometown rarely bothered him. There must be something important on the phone.

Mu Zhen briefly explained the situation of wheat seeds on the phone, and Mu Bao replied after listening: "The situation you mentioned has happened before, mainly because the imported seeds, when replanting and saving seeds in China, are not compatible with the nearby land. There have been hybrids of other wheat varieties in the block, but it is not sure yet, you can ask the seed company whether they imported the original species from abroad and then cultivated the seeds in China?"

Mu Bao's words reminded Mu Zhen, she hung up the phone, and then called the person in charge of the seed company. The answer is unreasonable, so we can only discuss the issue of compensation with the seed company.

Mu Zhen waited for a day, but still did not wait for the answer from the seed company. Seeing that Sanxia was busy, Mu Zhen asked Liu Xuchang to take the camera and return to Xiaowangzhuang Village to take some photos in the fields and leave relevant evidence. At the same time, discuss with Tiancheng about compensation for the growers.

Mu Zhen and Tiancheng agreed that for any part of the income reduction of the growers due to planting this wheat variety, the Dazhi Group will first pay in advance, and then seek compensation from the lawyer and the seed company.

According to the area purchased and planted at that time, the planted area of ​​this wheat variety is not very large, adding up to more than [-] mu of land. In this way, even if the compensation is not large, the current problem is not the amount of compensation. , but the occurrence of this kind of thing directly affects the credibility of Dazhi Group.

The summer harvest is a race against God. Accompanied by the roar of the combine harvester, the summer harvest has come to an end in just two days. The wheat in the income bag has been counted, and the average yield per mu is about [-] kilograms less than the normal wheat. The price of special wheat is on the high side, and the overall income per mu is no lower than that of ordinary wheat, which makes Tiancheng heave a sigh of relief.

Although the seed incident that happened around Mu Zhen has ended, Mu Zhen has always been worried about the problem of wheat varieties. As soon as the three summers are over, she goes straight to the provincial capital with the harvested wheat samples to discuss with Mu Bao. The root cause of the wheat seed incident.

For the arrival of his elder brother Mu Zhen, Mu Bao seems to have already made preparations.

"Brother, at present, our domestic research and development of seeds is far behind that of foreign countries, especially in the species you introduced. The country has repeatedly proposed to firmly hold the Chinese people's jobs in their own hands. How should we handle it? One is to rely on the land, The red line of 18 billion mu of arable land must be maintained. The second is to rely on seeds. Yuan Longping’s hybrid rice has solved the food problem of people all over the world. Compared with foreign countries, there is still a big gap, especially for corn seeds and vegetable seeds. We lag behind the research and development level of foreign countries. Fortunately, the country has begun to pay attention to the research and development of seeds at the beginning of the last century, and has introduced relevant policies and laws. , but it takes ten to 12 years to develop a wheat variety. For us, it still takes time. For us, the research and development of seed production is urgent. Seeds are a major issue related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. Doing a good job in the production and research and development of seeds is the fundamental guarantee to ensure that the rice bowl of our people is firmly in our hands." Mu Bao said so much in one breath, but Mu Zhen didn't say a word.

"Brother, what are you thinking?" Mu Bao asked.

"You have said so much, but I would like to know what we can do in terms of seed cultivation and research and development?" Mu Zhen asked.

"What we can do is breeding and management. We can provide original seeds here, and you can cultivate them at home. The cultivated seeds can directly provide high-quality seeds to the Chinese people!" Mu Bao replied casually.

"Such a good thing, why didn't you say it earlier, all the land in our village and the surrounding villages was used for breeding, wouldn't that prevent hybridization and seed mutation?" Mu Zhen asked.

"You want to participate in breeding? Then how will the modern sightseeing agriculture you engage in go on?" Mu Bao asked in surprise.

"Don't mention the modern sightseeing agriculture. It was booming for two years at the beginning, and now many places are in full swing. First, we don't have geographical advantages, and second, we lack high-end consumer groups. People in big cities can't go there, and people in small cities can't go there. Where there is a market, thanks to the online sales in the past two years, the green vegetables we produce have a market, but the production bases have all been moved to the outskirts of the city, and because of this, our land there is freed up to grow wheat!"

Regarding Mu Zhen's explanation, Mu Bao felt a little incomprehensible. It was a pity that the modern sightseeing agriculture built by the village with so much money had died.Mu Bao asked puzzledly: "How about the sales of the special wheat you are growing now?"

"Online orders are very popular. This time, I mainly want to understand the reasons for the low yield of wheat through you. I just heard you talk about the problem of seeds. I feel that our subordinates of Dazhi Group can set up a seed company to be responsible for breeding various seeds. This is It's a major issue related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, and with the support of your team here, don't we worry about not being able to do it well?" Mu Zhen's answer surprised Mu Bao a little.

"I've thought about this for a long time. It's just that the modern sightseeing agriculture you are doing in the village doesn't allow me to mention the seed industry. Now that you can understand this matter, it will be much easier! We can fully support you , it is best to concentrate at least [-] mu of land for seed breeding. You also know that crops rely on wind pollination. The larger the area, the greater the purity and accuracy of breeding. You can first determine the breeding base when you go back. It is the most fundamental problem." Mu Bao reminded.

"If you said these words three years ago, you would not have attracted the attention of the people in our village, but now everyone seems to understand that it is okay to engage in modern sightseeing agriculture, and people's consumption levels and consumer groups must be considered. Now we To keep the jobs of the Chinese people, it is not a bad idea to moderately develop some high-consumption agriculture and sightseeing agriculture. You must not follow the trend, otherwise you will suffer the loss, and it will hurt the hearts of the villagers and the interests of the masses. If it is too big, it will be a waste. National land resources!" Mu Zhen continued.

"Don't go online, it's not your business. All you have to do is go back and contact the breeding land, register a seed company, and contribute your part to let the people of the country firmly hold their jobs in their own hands!" Mu Baowen Hearing that Mu Zhen already had a deep understanding of the seed industry, she said happily.

"Okay, don't worry, what I want to do, I can do it, and I can do it well!" Mu Zhen patted the table lightly and said.

"Brother, over the years, I have known you and believed in you. If you can go home and do things for the village, it has proved that you are a person who lays down your body to do things. I believe in you!" Mu Bao stood up as he said. , stretched out his right hand, and struck together with Mu Zhen's stretched right hand. This was an action that the two of them did most often when they were young, and it meant that the task was guaranteed to be completed.

While the two clapped their hands, they laughed happily, as if they had returned to Xiaowangzhuang Village, the unforgettable boyhood...
