Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1818: Everything for Food

"If it's 50,000, that's fine."

Mr. Sun thought for a moment and nodded calmly, but his words were obviously not so confident.

Then, Elder Xia spoke up, "Just send out the plan first. Production also takes time. If there are too many, stop. If there are too few, add more. Fifty thousand is totally fine!"

"Besides, if it really doesn't work, just export it."

"Tractors can be exported. There's no reason why we shouldn't value such a useful thing."

Mr. Sun clapped his hands and agreed to Mr. Xia's proposal.

Yang Xiaotao and Liu Huaimin exchanged glances. So there is such a saying.

Thinking about the situation in the northwest, it seems that there is a lot of wheat grown there.

As for whether there is such a thresher in the alliance, I guess they still encourage growing corn now.

"That's right, well said."

Mr. Sun seemed to have suddenly realized something. "Okay, then, we'll each get 25,000. I'll arrange it right away."

"stop!"

Old Xia raised his voice and glanced at Old Sun, "Old Sun, this is not how it is divided."

"No, Lao Xia, what else do you want? Are you not happy with the half and half?"

As soon as Mr. Sun heard Mr. Xia open his mouth, he knew that he was dissatisfied with the distribution plan and immediately complained.

"Don't give me that. We'll give 20,000 each of the 50,000, and the remaining 10,000 will be given to the machinery factory."

After listening to this, Mr. Sun looked at Yang Xiaotao and the others, and then muttered, "Their machinery factory is busy, how long will it take to complete these 10,000?"

"It's none of your business. We'll just take it one step at a time. If it doesn't work out, we'll talk about it later."

When Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning heard about their situation, they felt even more grateful to Mr. Xia.

By this calculation, the cost for their machinery factory is 11,000.

If other factories knew about this, they would be jealous.

Old Sun also knew that they would need help from the people in the machinery factory, otherwise they would be useless without the blueprints.

What's more, this is also a way to establish a good relationship with the machinery factory, and we will also think of them if there are any benefits in the future.

Besides, 20,000 units are enough for the subordinates to share.

You can't chew too much.

"Okay, that's it."

Mr. Sun nodded in agreement, and then they discussed how to report the problem in the office.

"Well, Xiao Tao, go back and get the design done and have someone deliver it to you tomorrow."

"Director Liu, you are responsible for making rubbings and distributing them."

Liu Ruichao nodded immediately, "Don't worry, Commander. I will organize people to make a copy tomorrow morning."

Old Xia nodded and looked at Yang Xiaotao, "Do you have anything to add?"

Yang Xiaotao thought for a while, and finally said, "Commander, this thresher sounds very ordinary, and the drawings are also ordinary, but the requirements in production are not low."

"Especially the connection between the various components. If the precision is not achieved, it will not only affect the service life of the thresher, but may even cause frequent failures and reduce work efficiency."

"Even in serious cases, it may cause casualties!"

“So the factory responsible for production must be one with strong capabilities.”

Yang Xiaotao was not exaggerating when he said this. In previous lives, there were countless cases of finger injuries and mechanical casualties caused by this thing.

Machine failure also affects the factory's reputation.

Even though people nowadays are not picky about products, as long as they are useful, it's fine.

But Yang Xiaotao cannot help but consider the future.

Red Star Machinery Factory, this is the future signboard, he doesn't want to ruin this brand.

"Xiao Tao is right. Not every factory can make this."

Liu Huaimin continued, "Our first branch also gathered most of the senior workers to assemble one machine. If you want to mass-produce, you should not assign tasks without strong technical production capabilities."

After hearing about it, Mr. Xia and Mr. Sun also gave a reminder. They originally wanted to roll out the products to various factories as soon as possible, but now it seems they have to be selective.

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Xia Lao and the others knew what was going on, and then said, "Let's confirm it with our superiors as soon as possible, and once it's confirmed, we'll execute it immediately."

"Old Sun and I will arrange the factory and allocate resources here. Once the drawings are in place, production will start immediately."

Old Xia stood up and assigned tasks. He glanced at several people with a serious look.

"Once we start production, we will produce 10,000 units in three days."

After hearing this, Mr. Sun was also shocked by Mr. Xia's decision, but this is what they should do.

"Three days, 10,000 units. Four thousand for the two of us, and two thousand for the machinery factory. That's it."

Yang Xiaotao and the other two looked at each other and nodded, "Our machinery factory will fully cooperate with you in terms of personnel and drawings."

After they had discussed it, Elder Xia and Elder Sun sent the three of them out.

"Be careful on your way back!"

At the entrance of the First Ministry of Machine Building's office building, Old Xia was giving instructions to the three people.

"Commander, don't worry. The three of us are together. If we run into someone who doesn't have good eyesight, it will be their bad luck."

Yang Youning said confidently, and Boss Xia sulked, "I've told you so many times not to be self-righteous, but to be modest and prudent."

"You are such a grown-up, but you still don't learn your lesson."

Yang Youning didn't feel embarrassed when being scolded, instead he laughed.

This is the leader’s concern. Can ordinary people enjoy this treatment?

At this time, Yang Xiaotao came over with a bag of grapes, which he took from the fruit plate on the table before leaving.

"Commander, your grapes are so sweet. Let's come back when we have time."

"You kid, why don't you learn from this guy? You're eating and not saying anything. Next time you come, let me know in advance so I can prepare more."

The smile on Yang Youning's face froze immediately.

What do you mean by learned from me? This guy is better than me.

Also, let me tell you in advance, be more prepared, this this.
Suddenly, Yang Youning felt that he was a godson, and the boy in front of him was his biological son.

"Commander, we are leaving."

Liu Huaimin stepped forward and saw that it was getting late. "You should go to bed early."

"Well, let's go, call me if you need anything."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, then took the two of them into the car and left with the security personnel.

After the car drove away, Liu Ruichao said to Old Xia with concern, "Commander, go to bed early."

But Old Xia waved his hand and said, "Why rest? Arrange a car and we'll go find Old Huang."

"Ah? Now?" "Nonsense, right now. It's such a big deal. If I don't find him, how can I justify this big move?"

"But, what if Mr. Huang takes a rest?"

Liu Ruichao still felt it was inappropriate.

"What's wrong with taking a rest? You woke up after taking a rest. I don't believe he can still sleep after knowing that."

After saying that, he walked towards the parking lot.

Seeing this, Liu Ruichao could only yawn and follow forward.

I just hope Mr. Huang won’t curse me when the time comes!

Yang Xiaotao drove the car back to the machinery factory, and did not return to the courtyard. Instead, he went to the office, took out the drawings prepared in the space, and sent them to Yang Youning.

As for the rubbing matter, naturally someone is responsible for it.

Yang Xiaotao took out paper and pen and prepared to design a corn thresher.

Thinking of the corn thresher that Mr. Sun asked about in the First Ministry of Machine Building, he had a new idea when he was threshing in the threshing ground today.

Wheat and rice can be threshed, so why can't corn?
You should know that due to the promotion of Yangcun No. 1, large tracts of land in the country are planted with corn.

Behind this bumper harvest, of course, is the hard work of the farmers.

If a corn thresher could be manufactured, this problem would be solved.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao no longer felt sleepy. The ideas in his mind became clearer and clearer, and he wrote faster and faster.

Xiaowei flew out from the darkness and landed on Yang Xiaotao's shoulder, and two green lights appeared on her hands.

In an instant, the room was filled with the fragrance of plants and trees, which shocked Yang Xiaotao.

"There are important differences between wheat and corn, and using the same approach for wheat obviously won't work."

“But the principle is the same.”

"So, we just need to modify the internal structure, but we still need to think carefully about how to modify it."

"At worst, we can just smash the flesh together. The broken pieces can be used as fuel for fire anyway."

While Yang Xiaotao was thinking about how to design a corn thresher, Liu Huaimin had already left the machinery factory with the prepared materials.

As for Yang Youning, he went to the workshop with the design drawings prepared by Yang Xiaotao.

During the day, Chen Gong had already prepared a workshop so that it could start production at any time.

There are not many people in the workshop now, and most of them are scheduled to work the night shift.

However, after Yang Youning arrived, the original production tasks were put aside and the people were convened to start producing threshers.

Although the production places are different, Mr. Xia and Mr. Sun have agreed that all the threshers produced will be named "Hongyi Automatic Thresher".

Of course, you can write the manufacturer and production address yourself.

This can also be considered as bringing fame to the machinery factory.

The workshop quickly got into gear under Yang Youning's encouragement, and the production workers also understood what to do.

Thresher, a very important machine for agricultural production.

that's enough.

……

At dawn, golden sunlight penetrated the mist and gently fell on the road, illuminating the remaining dewdrops, as if they were inlaid with countless transparent diamonds.

Boom~~
The wheels rolled over quickly, picking up the dazzling diamonds, some of which broke into pieces and some flew away into the distance.

"Old Deng, this machinery factory is really weird."

In the car, Mr. Tao yawned and spoke to the old courtyard beside him.

"Weird? What's so weird about it? It looks fine to me."

Old Yard also looked tired. His brain was excited after he returned home last night and he didn't sleep well the whole night.

After waiting for a long time until dawn, I immediately got up and made a phone call, this time waking up Mr. Tao.

Then, the two got in the car and headed to the first factory.

"There are some things you don't understand."

Mr. Tao leaned on his back. The person driving was his secretary of many years, so there was nothing he couldn't tell.

"This machinery factory caused quite a bit of trouble a while ago. I heard someone from higher up said not to provoke them."

"You also know that this is not to be provoked, which is intriguing."

"Anyway, many people are waiting to see what this machinery factory can do."

"I didn't expect that they actually made it."

"Moreover, it is related to our agriculture, which is our Achilles' heel."

"Tell me, did they do this unintentionally or on purpose?"

After Mr. Tao finished speaking, the old dean understood what he meant.

It's nothing more than that when the machinery factory faces difficulties, it chooses to use this method to break the situation.

But he didn't want to interpret it this way. After all, when Yang Xiaotao visited him, he was the one who took the initiative to ask for help in researching agricultural machinery.

Unless the other party has had this idea for a long time, it is impossible to know what he is thinking.

"That shouldn't be the case. I mentioned this to Yang Xiaotao last time."

The old dean once again told what happened during their meeting, but Mr. Tao listened silently.

"I could see at the time that he was not prepared."

"The reason why such a big incident happened this time must be an accident."

The old man gave his answer, and Mr. Tao nodded without comment.

He didn't want to get involved in the disputes among the upper echelons.

His only thought was to make good use of this one acre and three mu of land, let the farmers grow more grain, and fill the country's warehouses with grain.

"I hope so. If it's the latter, this plot is too deep, so deep that it's scary."

Mr. Tao was also unwilling to believe that all this was a conspiracy by the machinery factory.

Because that would be horrible.

Thinking of the impression Yang Xiaotao gave him, he was more willing to believe that this was a temporary decision.

When the old dean saw Mr. Tao's look, he was silent for a moment, then let out a breath.

"No matter what, the thresher we made this time will bring more benefits than disadvantages to us."

"If nothing else, we have to help farmers grow more food."

Tao Lao nodded and said, "You are right."

"We do all this just for food, don't we?"
