The strongest peasant city

Chapter 223 Huge Investment
Seeing that the food in front of them hadn't moved much, Li Xiaogang asked strangely: "Why, aren't you hungry?" Liu Feng and Liu Ting looked at Li Xiaogang's questioning eyes, each sticking out their tongues in embarrassment, Then he picked up his own breakfast and ate it slowly.

"Cousin... Cousin, were you thinking about someone just now?" Liu Feng was somewhat uncomfortable calling Li Xiaogang's cousin.

Li Xiaogang smiled lightly and said: "Yes, I am thinking of one of your senior sisters! Hehe... When I have a chance, I will take you to meet her! She will definitely like you two."

Liu Feng nodded, but Liu Ting said with some taste: "She likes us, but we don't necessarily like her.

"Li Xiaogang looked at Liu Ting in surprise, not knowing why she said that.

Liu Feng pushed Liu Ting lightly, and blamed in a low voice: "Hey, what's wrong with you, people invited us to dinner, and you still put on airs like your eldest lady, just put on, please don't mess up Is it okay to talk?" Liu Ting didn't know what she was doing, but when she heard Li Xiaogang's tenderness and deep affection when he talked about other women, she felt a little uncomfortable.

He simply pushed the food in front of him and said, "Forget it, forget it, your cousin said that he would treat us to a big meal at noon today, I'd better keep my stomach open and let him bleed more at noon!"

Liu Feng looked at Li Xiaogang embarrassedly and said: "I'm sorry, she is just such a person! She is careless and insane, don't be as knowledgeable as her!"

Li Xiaogang glanced at Liu Ting, who was glaring at Liu Feng angrily, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, she looks very funny like this!"

Liu Tingxiu stared, and said, "Interesting? Hmph, when I kill you so painfully at noon, you won't find me interesting anymore."

After Liu Feng finished eating, Li Xiaogang paid the bill, and the three of them walked out of the restaurant together.

Looking at the time, it was almost time for class, Liu Feng said to Li Xiaogang apologetically, "We can't accompany you anymore, we have to go to class!"

Li Xiaogang smiled kindly and said: "It's okay, I just happen to have some things to deal with, see you at noon!"

Liu Feng nodded, Liu Ting looked at Li Xiaogang tenderly and said: "We are still waiting for your big meal, if you dare to slip away by yourself, then you are finished, understand?"

Li Xiaogang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Got it!"

After sending Liu Feng and Liu Ting to class, Li Xiaogang decided to go and see his head teacher at the time and some teachers he got along with happily.

The fact that Li Xiaogang was going to give lectures at the Agricultural University had spread among the teachers, especially that Li Xiaogang was personally recommended by Zhou Zongnan, which surprised everyone.

We must know that Zhou Zongnan has a very high prestige in the fields of botany and agronomy, and he is also the honorary president of the Provincial Agricultural University. All the people he recommends are people with great achievements.

This time Li Xiaogang was able to get such an "honor", as the teachers who taught him, they naturally felt extremely honored on their faces. When they saw Li Xiaogang, they all smiled and were full of enthusiasm.

But when Li Xiaogang saw Li Xiang, his counselor for four years in college, he saw Li Xiang with a sad face and frowning.

During the days when Li Xiaogang was studying, he had a deep impression on Li Xiang, the counselor!He is forthright and enthusiastic towards students. He often hears his cheerful laughter in the corridor before entering the classroom. In Li Xiaogang’s four years of memory, Li Xiang’s frowning look is really rare. .

Seeing Li Xiaogang and his former disciple returning to his alma mater today, Li Xiang was naturally very pleased.

He tried his best to hide the sadness on his face, so as not to let Li Xiaogang find out.

But those brows were almost wrinkled into a pimple. How could I hide it from Li Xiaogang. After exchanging pleasantries, Li Xiaogang said straight to the point: "Teacher, I found that you seem to have something on your mind! Tell me, maybe I can help you busy."

Li Xiang looked at Li Xiaogang, let out a long sigh, and said slowly: "I am too embarrassed to mention this matter. Now the country pays more and more attention to agricultural production, but the budget for agricultural colleges is increasing year by year. reduction!

Especially when it comes to our major, the funds issued by the state every year are even more pitiful!Your teacher, I am living a hard life now. There is only one word in my head every day, and that is money!Hey, speaking of it, I was overwhelmed and my head was buzzing. "

Looking at Li Xiang who was frowning, Li Xiaogang sighed: "A professor at an agricultural university can't do research with peace of mind every day, but has to worry about money. What a loss! But the country also has difficulties.

Most of the country's budget is invested in the countryside, and the basic construction of agricultural production is gone. Increasing this part of the investment can only correspondingly reduce the allocation of agricultural colleges, which is also a helpless move! "

Li Xiang smiled bitterly and said: "No! So although the school is very difficult, from the headmaster to us department heads, no matter how hard it is, we have never thought of talking to the top! Think about it, no matter how difficult we are , Can there be those farmers who cannot afford chemical fertilizers and can only watch crop yields decrease; cannot afford pesticides and can only let pests ruin crops?"

Li Xiaogang said with a chuckle: "Mr. Li, I found that you haven't changed at all! You can still laugh at this time."

Li Xiang said helplessly: "Actually, I should be crying at this time, but I think laughing is more comfortable than crying, so let's laugh! Hehe..."

Li Xiaogang was a little moved. China has been a big agricultural country since ancient times. Agriculture has existed for thousands of years, but its development is extremely slow. When the Americans only took 200 years to let farmers fly planes to spray pesticides At that time, Chinese farmers were sweating profusely under the scorching sun with sprayers on their backs.

If it weren't for the existence of a group of scientists like Li Xiang who have dedicated their lives to agriculture, China's agriculture would still be slash-and-burn, which made Li Xiaogang shudder.

What is the most important thing for the development of agriculture?Not scientists, but money!Now there are a large number of scientists like Li Xiang in China, but they don't get enough funds to support their research and experiments!

While American scientists continue to use dollars to create one advanced technology after another, Chinese scientists are always clamoring for sufficient research funding.

When Chinese scientists waste a lot of time seeking funds, and when China's agricultural technology and the United States are further expanded, everyone will stand up and accuse Chinese agricultural scientists of being incompetent, stupid, and waste!is this fair

"Hey!" Another long sigh, Li Xiang took out a stack of snow-white printing paper, densely filled with words and pictures of various crops.

Slowly said: "These are such good topics, if there is enough financial support, it won't take long to produce results.

But now they can only be stranded again and again. "

Li Xiaogang took the stack of printing paper from Li Xiang. With his solid professional foundation, he quickly saw the great value of these topics and the huge impact they will have on Chinese agriculture, and even the world's agriculture. Influence.

Li Xiaogang's heart moved, and he suddenly understood why Zhou Zongnan had begged to recommend him to hold this lecture. Could it be that his real purpose was for this?After flipping through a few pages, Li Xiaogang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this old man Zhou Zongnan really has good intentions.

Li Xiaogang shook his head and smiled slightly, already thinking about it.

"Ms. Li! These are really good topics, they can be said to be priceless!" Li Xiaogang laughed.

Li Xiang sighed helplessly: "Yes, who said no? But without enough funds, they can only be a pile of waste paper in the end!"

Li Xiaogang nodded and said, "How much research funding does the country give you every year?"

Li Xiang said indifferently: "The deputy government issues about 20 billion yuan of funds every year for the research of agricultural technology, but there are too many projects that urgently need research funds, and each project is only a mere few million. Well, these millions are not enough just to buy advanced equipment, let alone to support expensive experiments! It’s even more unthinkable to go to space to do experiments like the Americans do!”

"Two billion? This is really too little. Mr. Li, I have an idea, I don't know if it works?" Li Xiaogang said softly.

"Oh? Let's hear it!" Li Xiang's heart moved, and he urged with some anticipation.

Li Xiaogang thought for a while and said: "I would like to set up a special agricultural science and technology research institution in my own name. You will preside over it, select suitable and significant research topics across the country, and transform them from theory to research as soon as possible. into productivity!"

Li Xiang was shocked after hearing this, and said, "But this still needs strong financial support!"

Li Xiaogang continued: "After the establishment of this research institution, I will invest 20 billion as research funds every year. In addition, the technologies you have developed can apply for patents, and the research institute can share 30.00% of the profits obtained from patents! Such a In the future, the more new results the research institute produces, the more sufficient the research funding will be. I think it won't be long before a research institute that shocks the world, has strong financial resources, and a strong team of scientists will leave a brilliance in the history of world agriculture A sum of money!"

"Two... 20 billion!? Li Xiaogang, are you joking?" Li Xiang was a little dumbfounded when he heard Li Xiaogang's plan!He knew that if Li Xiaogang could really spend 20 billion to establish such a research institute, then Li Xiaogang's plan would not only be impossible, but also an inevitable trend!

As if snowballing, research funds will become more and more abundant. As long as you don’t have to worry about funds, Li Xiang firmly believes that Chinese agronomists will never lose to American agronomists!
Li Xiaogang laughed and said: "Mr. Li, it really makes me feel sad when you say that. You have taught me for four years. When have I ever lied to you? Don't worry, I keep my word. Arrive at your designated account! But you have to take action, call people as soon as possible! I think all these topics are good, and it is best to launch them at the same time. If the funds are not enough, I can invest again, but if there are not enough scientists, I will But there is nothing I can do to help! Haha..."

Li Xiang tightly held the subjects in his hands, and his whole body began to tremble with excitement.Said: "Don't worry! Your student has not let me down, and my teacher will never let you down!"
