Seeing the displeasure on Zhou You's face, Chen Yuan sneered and said:
"There are too many things going on lately, why don't I take some time!"
"You must have a lot on your plate. You are surrounded by women every day, so you certainly can't cope with it!" Zhou You said with a sidelong glance.
"Come on, let's be serious, what's going on with that inspection team?" Chen Yuan asked.
"In order to respond to the new rural ecological policy and complete the targets, they have to go to every village to inspect the countryside!"
Zhou You continued:
"But after they heard that our village had built a new factory and farmers were planting organic vegetables, they made Taojia Village their first stop! I feel that our village has a high chance of becoming a test field!"
"After all, the Shennong water developed by Dr. James is very miraculous, and the vegetables grown by the villagers mature very quickly. Once this becomes a test field, all the hard work will be confiscated!"
Chen Yuan nodded and said:
"Don't worry! I let the villagers plant it to supply supplies for my own farmhouse! It's impossible for them to take away our hard work!"
As soon as Chen Yuan finished speaking, a whistle sounded outside the village committee, and a black car with a red flag slowly stopped at the entrance of the village committee.
Immediately afterwards, four middle-aged men got out of the car, all wearing white shirts and having a strong aura.
"They are here, go out and greet them!"
Zhou You hurriedly said something, and Chen Yuan followed her, and the two of them walked out of the village committee to greet her.
When Zhou You saw the man headed by him, he warmly extended his hand and said with a smile:
"Director He, welcome to Taojiacun for inspection!"
"Xiao Zhou, I didn't expect that you would lead the village to develop so fast not long after you took office. You are really capable of working!" Director He said politely.
"This is not my fault alone. Let me introduce it to you!"
Zhou You said modestly, pulled Chen Yuan next to him and introduced:
"This is Director He of the Agricultural Research Bureau, and this is Mr. Chen Yuan. Mr. Chen Yuan is indispensable for what Taojia Village is today!"
Chen Yuan nodded slightly at Director He, and Director He also nodded at Chen Yuan, but said nothing.
"Let's go in and chat!"
After Zhou You finished speaking, several people entered the room and sat around the conference table. Director He sat at the main seat and began a series of speeches.
Chen Yuan, who was sitting on the chair, felt uncomfortable listening to those terms and thinking about what he was talking about with so much useless talk.
Half an hour later, after Chen Yuan reluctantly followed in the applause, the short meeting finally came to an end. Chen Yuan didn't listen to a word anyway.
Director He then proposed to go to the villagers’ planting fields to see on the ground.
The group walked out of the village committee, Zhou You leading the way, and arrived at one of the fields ten minutes later.
At a glance, the crops on the field have already grown fruits, and they are expected to mature and bear fruit in a few days.
Director He squatted down, picked an unripe tomato, then opened it and looked at it and said:
"Xiao Zhou, the moisture content of these tomatoes seems to be inadequate! Although you have methods to speed up the maturity of the crops, the quality is greatly compromised!"
Zhou You looked awkward. Before she could explain, Chen Yuan snorted coldly:
"It's not shameful if you don't understand, why don't you pretend to know?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Chen Yuan. The assistant behind Director He heard this and frowned:
"Mr. Chen, you are going too far! Director He graduated with a doctorate in agricultural studies!"
"Graduated with a Ph.D.? I would like to ask you, Doctor, how much food can be produced in one acre of land, and what is the spacing between crops?" Chen Yuan sneered.
"This... has nothing to do with what I studied. What I studied was agricultural research, not farmers' farming!" Director He said displeased.
“Farmers rely on the experience gained from generations of ancestors and sweat under the scorching sun to cultivate the land, rather than the theoretical knowledge in books!”
Chen Yuan sneered and continued:
"The reason why these tomatoes lack water now is because of the ripening effect of Shennong water! But when they mature, they will definitely taste more delicious than those grown normally!"
"If you don't believe me, try it. Even though it's not ripe, it doesn't taste green at all!"
After Chen Yuan finished speaking, Director He took a bite and tasted it with hesitation, and then his face was full of surprise.
Sure enough, as Chen Yuan said, although the tomatoes are not ripe and look dry and have no moisture, they are refreshing and sweet in the mouth, without any bitter taste.
"How this is done is incredible! If it is mature, the taste will be even better!" Director He said in surprise.
Seeing this, several other members of the inspection team also picked the fruits and tried them. After tasting them, their eyes also shone and they were full of praise.
This is beyond their field knowledge. You must know that they all came out of the Agricultural Research Institute. It is unheard of before that unripe fruits have such a taste.
"Mr. Chen, your crops are really amazing. I have decided that the new rural experimental field policy will be piloted in Taojia Village first!"
After Director He finished speaking, Zhou You and Chen Yuan had serious expressions on their faces. Seeing their expressions, Director He said in confusion:
"You seem unhappy?"
"Director He, let me get straight to the point. I reject this policy you mentioned!"
Chen Yuan said seriously:
"Although I am not the leader of the village committee, nor am I qualified to make decisions on behalf of the village! But this crop cultivation is my patent and my personal achievement!"
"I will not hand over our hard work to confiscation!"
After Chen Yuan finished speaking, Director He turned his head and looked at the people behind him, and said with a puzzled look on his face:
"Who said you should be turned over for confiscation?"
Zhou You heard this and asked quickly:
"Director He, I heard that the policy is not that after the experimental fields are implemented, will the experimental fields be owned by the public?"
After Zhou You finished speaking, the inspection team burst into laughter, and Director He explained with a smile:
"So this is what you are worried about!",
"Where did you hear this false news? The experimental field is not confiscated, but the policy support given to the experimental field by the higher authorities! Whether it is technical personnel or machinery and equipment, the public provides free support!"
"Because the policy is afraid that the farmers in the experimental fields will not be professional in their own planting, we will send technical personnel to the countryside to provide guidance, which is voluntary!"
After hearing this, Zhou You and Chen Yuan looked at each other. Only then did they realize that they had misunderstood.
The policy of this new rural area is to support agricultural projects in rural areas. To put it bluntly, it can solve all planting problems for villagers, and it is free of charge.
Chen Yuan glanced at Zhou You, the dog-headed military advisor, with a complaining look. Her false information almost caused them to miss a great opportunity.
"Director He, we have misunderstood. There are policies to help us solve the problem. We will definitely respond to the call!" Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter. With your young talents in Taojia Village, I believe there will be great development!"
Director He thought for a few seconds and continued:
"When we go back in the evening, I will send technicians to the countryside tomorrow to guide the villagers in integrating your planting methods! Moreover, when the fruits mature, I can also find sales channels for you!"
"That's great. There are sales channels. As long as the villagers increase production, they can have extra income!" Zhou You said excitedly.
Director He nodded and said:
"Of course, your fruit is so magical, the sales must be very impressive. I estimate that in less than a year, your village will become rich and become the number one village in Huadu!"
