Chapter 267： Yield per mu

In early July, when the rice was ripe, Wu Changqing personally went to the experimental field in Suzhou to check the condition of hybrid rice.

Among many major engineering projects, this is what he attaches the most importance to.

All development requires a full stomach as the prerequisite. If the people can't even eat enough to eat, what's the point of making so much steel.

To feed all the people, there is only hybrid rice, and there is no other way.

The technical content of artificial fertilizers is very high, and the corresponding supporting technologies are also very much needed. If this set of technology is to be fully developed, at least 50 million technological points, Wu Changqing can't bear it.

He even hopes that he can rely on those talents in the academy to research those technologies on his own. Even if the core technologies cannot be researched, those supporting technologies can barely be mastered.

However, it takes time to open up new fields, and iron farming tools are needed. This is a long-term project.

Therefore, at present, Wu Changqing wants to greatly increase grain output, only relying on these hybrid rice.

Suzhou, Xietang, hybrid rice test field.

Wu Changqing saw the endless golden yellow waves. At first glance, the rice is growing very well.

The official in charge of this experimental field is Yan Wenqing, the minister of the household, and he excitedly introduced to Wu Changqing: "General, these seeds are really immortal seeds. Under the same conditions, their yield per mu is nearly twice that of other ordinary rice. After using fertilizers from overseas, the yield per mu of some experimental fields has reached twice that of ordinary rice."

This kind of thing overturned Yan Wenqing's cognition. He never thought that grain production could suddenly increase to this point.

The output of rice has not been greatly improved for hundreds of years.

This is a qualitative leap and an extremely great historical moment. It is about to solve a food problem that has been a headache for mankind for thousands of years.

Wu Changqing inspected the ears of rice and said, “Be careful when harvesting, and don’t waste these seeds. These are all used to make seeds for the people, and each grain of rice represents a new rice plant.

The subsequent drying, preservation, and breeding must be done with great care and no errors are allowed. "

"The lower officer keeps this in mind."

Yan Wenqing naturally also knew the significance of this incident, and did not dare to be indifferent.

After several days of harvesting, the final output of this experimental field was also calculated. The total harvest was 550,000 kilograms, or an average of 550 kilograms per mu, which was less than expected.

However, this result is already very good, at least except for Wu Changqing, anyone who hears this number will be surprised and speechless.

Only when Wu Changqing has seen the grain output of later generations can he remain calm.

After the rice was harvested, Wu Changqing returned to Nanjing.

At the same time, Minbao started to report on hybrid rice with a whole issue, and even the indispensable advertisements for each issue were gone in this issue, all related to hybrid rice.

The beginning of the report was good news. It was reported that the "Wu Dao" experiment was successful. The new type of Wu Dao has a yield of 600 kilograms per mu, which is twice that of ordinary rice.

Next is some popular science about hybrid rice, highlighting that this is a variety purchased by Wu Changqing from overseas and hybridized with a local variety.

The explanation given in the report is very vague, but it does not matter. Anyway, as long as the people know that this is made by Wu Changqing, it is enough to let the people know who to thank.

Later, the Minbao also promised that these seeds will be distributed to the people in Jiangnan and some Jiangxi regions for free. As for other places, I'm sorry.

More than half a million kilograms of seeds sound like a lot, but in fact, even the people in the Jiangnan area may not be enough. What's more, there is one more Jiangxi now, which is even more inadequate.

Based on the 15 million people in his jurisdiction, the average person can only get more than 300 grams of seeds.

The Chinese people are most afraid of calculating per capita. No matter how beautiful the number is, once the per capita is calculated, it will be okay, and we still need to work harder.

As soon as this report came out, there was an earthquake in the entire Jiangnan region, and many people began to use their relationships to verify the truth of the news.

Although the Minbao has not reported fake news so far, it has a good reputation.

However, the news this time is too exaggerated, to the point that no one can believe it.

One mu of land can yield 600 kilograms, which is twice the original.

This means that the grain output in the second half of the year can be doubled. By that time, I am afraid that no one will be hungry anymore.

The impact of this is huge, and the entire society will undergo tremendous changes. It's just that few people can predict what it will be like.

Those who go to inquire about the news, the news is naturally undoubted.

The Jiangnan government has already started distributing seeds for free.

This will be a huge project. First of all, they need to explain the output of this kind of seeds to the farmers, and they need to dispel the doubts of the people.

Otherwise the people don't believe it and eat these seeds without authorization, that would be really fucking.

In Feihong Academy, a group of scholars are reading the newspaper and chatting.

"You said, is it true that what the People's Daily said is true? The output of grain can really be doubled. It's incredible how you think about it."

A certain scholar said with emotion.

"Nowadays, boats don’t need oars to go against the current. What is impossible. I heard that in the future there will be a car that can be moved by burning coal, which will no longer be pulled by horses."

Another scholar said that he was very calm. Anyway, there are so many new things that have appeared in Jiangnan in the past six months, so there is no need to be surprised if something magical happens.

"When the people are full, their children can also be sent to school to study, and the competition will become more intense in the future."

A slightly fat scholar sighed.

There are only so many official positions in a country, and the number of officials elected by imperial examinations is limited each year.

There were few people who could afford to read before, and the competition was not so fierce.

Now, once the people can eat enough, they can let children of the right age go to school. As a result, their reading groups will be greatly impacted.

From their own interests, they actually hate the emergence of this rice variety.

Anyway, with their family's financial resources, even without this kind of rice, they still have enough to eat. And now, with this hybrid rice, they can't eat more.

The biggest beneficiaries of hybrid rice are the people, and they have nothing to do with them.

On the contrary, their interests will be threatened, and future competition will become more intense.

"Brother Liu, you think too far, it's a few years later. Just tell me, the Governor doesn't seem to have the idea of ​​imperial examination. If you want to be an official in the imperial examination, then go to the north."

Another scholar said in a weird manner that Wu Changqing's rise had also violated his interests. Therefore, he was very dissatisfied with Wu Changqing's regime.

It's just that they are useless scholars, no matter how dissatisfied they are, there is nothing to do.
