Chapter 238 Promotion
Potatoes and corn are new species brought back at the same time. After a year of cultivation, they have long been spread.

Seeing the charm of potatoes, everyone felt that corn must be good.

Seeing the time passing day by day, the color of the corn cobs in the field gradually changed, and finally it was time to harvest.

With the help of countless people who voluntarily harvested hundreds of acres of corn, they were all recovered within three days.

The new detachment tool developed by the equipment factory showed amazing efficiency. All the threshing was completed in three days, and the statistical results came out, which was also extremely shocking.

Nearly [-] catties of corn are not as high as potatoes, but they are not lower than the [-] to [-] catties of wheat per mu.

But when corn flour came out, it attracted a lot of voices.

Cornmeal is not as popular as flour.

The promotion of corn planting has been hindered, and few people are willing to plant it.This is different from what Lin Yan expected.

In the Administration Council, Lin Yan went to Yunmeng and asked about the details.

Yunmeng is the newly appointed Minister of Agriculture. She took office together with Minister of Industry Mao Mu and Minister of Commerce Mu Qing.

Knowing her reason for coming, Yunmeng spread her hands helplessly and said, "I've already investigated, and people don't want to grow corn just because they don't have wheat and potatoes to eat."

The objective facts are so, Lin Yan can't do anything about it, "But corn must be planted, at least more than one hundred acres, can you do it?"

"It's not difficult to grow, but what to do with the corn?" Yunmeng was puzzled, "People grow crops to eat. Corn is not tasty, and it can't be sold after planting it. No one wants to spend time on planting it."

"Why can't it be sold? The people in Sun City think it's not good, do the people in Qingyan City and Yuanye City think the same, and there are so many people in Mingwan Village who are starving, it's good to have something to eat, as long as it's planted There is no need to worry about selling. Besides, corn has other uses, and the demand is huge.”

Yun Meng was dubious, "What else can corn do?"

Lin Yan said directly: "Can you make an announcement, saying that as long as the corn you grow can be sold for money, it costs six catties per penny, and encourages people who have room to grow corn."

"can."

Out of trust in Lin Yan, Yunmeng did as usual.

Many people came to ask whether corn can really be sold for money. After confirming it, they didn't know whether they believed it or not.

When the sowing was over, Lin Yan was deeply speechless when he saw the results given by Yunmeng.Even if so much has been done, there are only a dozen households growing corn, with an area of ​​less than [-] mu.

People can plant whatever they want, and it's not easy to force it. Lin Yan can only accept this result.

After the staff of the Academy of Sciences were in place, Lin Yan approached Huang Ying and asked the Academy of Medicine to help with research on brewing.

No one cares about the corn produced, and the number of boats going out is limited, so they cannot all be pulled out and sold.Lin Yan wanted to use part of the corn for wine and vinegar research.

These ideas have been around for a long time, but because there is not enough wheat to eat, it is too wasteful to use it for brewing.Now that there is a backlog of corn, it is just right to do these studies.

After hearing Lin Yan's words, Huang Ying said: "Although the taste of corn is not good, it can't be used in this way. There are still so many people who can't get enough to eat."

"The transportation capacity is limited, and it doesn't help to pile up the corn. It's better to use some of it for research. Vinegar and wine are researches that must be done in the future, so it's the same if they are put on the agenda first."

"Brewing is a new subject. It involves microbial fermentation technology. There is no foundation. It takes time to start from scratch. Huang Ying, you have to choose the right person to do it."

"I understand. The School of Medicine has a pharmaceutical research department, a physician's department, and a biology research department. Wine making and vinegar can be handed over to the biology research department. I just found two people who are suitable for the biology research department a few days ago, so let them do this. .”

Lin Yan was overjoyed when he heard the words, "I really found the right person. In the past few months, you guys have been robbing people, and you are the one who has found the most people."

Bai Chen and Shi Zhi are fanatical research talents. Asking them to find someone for the Institute of Materials Science and Innovation Research Institute really worried Lin Yan, and she had to come forward to help with the selection.

Ye Cong and Huang Ying went out on their own and successfully formed the first batch of personnel.

Huang Ying sighed: "There are still too few available people, and every department is robbing people. The most popular graduates from the elite class are the talents we want to compete for. It's a pity that there are still people who don't want to be here. went elsewhere."

Lin Yan said with a smile: "Don't be too greedy. As far as I know, there are 36 graduates of the elite class, and 28 of them have entered the research institute. Other departments are very jealous. You are not satisfied. Be careful and cover yourself with sacks when you go out. "

"Who dares to put a sack on me, besides, I have to thank him for being able to put on a sack without being discovered by me."

Huang Ying said proudly, "I have to say that people with spiritual power are really blessed by heaven, and they have almost no shortcomings."

Speaking of mental power, Lin Yan suddenly thought of the person with the best mental power, "What is Lan Yue doing recently, I haven't seen her for a long time."

"She is busy hiding from people. The military department attaches great importance to this precious lump, and sent her to Qingyan City, trying to avoid the six departments that are staring at her like a tiger."

Lin Yan became interested, "Isn't Lanyue not old enough? How could she be targeted?"

"You really don't remember, Lanyue was born in March, legally over the age of 16. She is the most disadvantaged, just two months away, and missed this general election. Otherwise, the Arbitration Court must have a place for her. "

"I really forgot. Lanyue is determined to stay in the military department. It's useless for others to follow. Why don't they give up?"

"You are wrong. Although Lan Yue is in the military department, she has worked in the material department before and is highly regarded. She is also the person with the best mental strength, the highest force value, and top-notch in all aspects. Talent, how can all departments let her stay only in the military department, they are naturally willing to maximize her talents, and are willing to let her shoulder several positions. The personnel department, government affairs department and public resources department are all watching, as long as blue If you nod your head every month, you will be given generous treatment."

Lin Yan rubbed his head, "That's it, but Heitu, Baiyun and Shi Yong are not stupid, how could this big baby be robbed."

"You're right. Lanyue just reached her age, and the military department immediately promoted her to be the captain of the first team, and went to Qingyan City to train the new team, avoiding the process of grabbing people."

Lin Yan really didn't know about this, "Lan Yue is already the captain of the team, and the promotion is fast enough, and there are 500 people under him."

"Isn't that right? The captain is at level 12. It seems that his rank is lower than ours, but he holds military power, so he is too prestigious." Huang Ying was a little envious. As the successor of the black soil, she will definitely be promoted in a few years. Now the military department is organizing four brigades, and when there are five brigades to form a regiment, she should be the head of the regiment."

Lin Yan nodded in agreement, "That's right. The regiment leader is level 15, and the deputy regiment is level 13. After ten regiments form an army, the commander is level 17, and the deputy army is level 16. The promotion of the army is indeed Hurry up. We don't need to worry about Lanyue's promotion path at all."
