Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2629 Food Crisis
The partnership with Persia to start a company was not widely publicized, so not many people knew about it.

But the work progressed very rapidly.

Two weeks later, with the support of the Ninth Department, the Quancheng Automobile Factory produced the second Great Wall car.

At the same time, in September, news came from Mosidov that the automobile factory had been renovated and that as long as workers arrived and the machines kept up, cars could be produced.

This factory was originally intended to produce Yellow River heavy trucks, and many of the technicians inside were also from the Quancheng Automobile Factory, which saved a lot of trouble.

To this end, Mosidov specifically instructed the old butler to make this happen as soon as possible, and offered very high rewards to those who were willing to go to Persia to work.

Similarly, the two Great Wall cars manufactured in advance were sent to Persia by the old butler. They will be sent to the Federal Republic of Germany as quickly as possible to participate in the auto show at the end of September.

As for the outcome of the auto show, Yang Xiaotao does not hold out much hope.

They are just a newly opened automobile factory and cannot be compared with those century-old factories.

What's more, people may not even look at you.

Anyway, everything is arranged by Mosidov, and they just need to focus on production.

As long as I can sell it and make money, that's fine.

Time quickly came to September.

The weather in Sijiu City was still hot, and Yang Xiaotao was too busy to stop in the Nine Departments.

I will go to the research institute to attend a project seminar later.

I'll go to the technical school later to see the progress of various subjects.

After a while, I returned to the office and continued to troubleshoot the system bug.

I am so busy all day that I don’t even have time to read.

However, the design of this CNC machine tool is so different from that of traditional machine tools that more than a month has passed and I have not even scratched the surface.

Yang Xiaotao glanced at the credits on the system panel. If it wasn't for upgrading the main skills, he would have given it a try no matter what.

But now he also understood that being proficient in machinery and steelmaking would not be of much help at the moment.

Although he is busy all day, it is not aimless. Watching the design drawings in front of him being replaced one after another, Yang Xiaotao knows that he is on the right track, but he has not reached the end yet.

I can only say that all the efforts before success are worth it.

Even if it fails, it is an exclusion, right?

Of course, there is good news here.

The shield machine of the First Ministry of Machine Building was successfully transported to Chang'an and officially started on the construction site.

Perhaps because the shield machine was put into use, or perhaps because he had almost recovered, Li Hongfeng, who was recuperating in Yanzhou, insisted on going to Chang'an.

After that, he observed it for a while before returning to Sijiu City.

Li Hongfeng's return reduced the number of documents on Yang Xiaotao's desk, which also gave Yang Xiaotao more time.

The second is that Chen Chonghan is finally back.

He also brought back news from the Sifang Machinery Factory.

It was just as Yang Xiaotao thought. There were some dirty things in the machine factory at first. Later, it was only when Mr. Wu saw that the shield machine had been made that he started to inquire about the matter.

Afterwards, Mr. Wu went to Sifang in person and stayed there for two weeks, during which all the problems were solved.

Of course, Chen Chonghan also received a lot of rewards.

But when he came back he kept complaining and never went out again next time.

Intrigue is more tiring than working.

No matter what, Chen Chonghan is back and can share some of the work. At least at the technical school, with this eighth-level fitter, Yang Xiaotao doesn't have to be forced to work as a "laborer".

Speaking of technical schools, although the final number of places was 300, 400 people actually enrolled.

This is also the final result after discussions among the nine departments.

The truth is, there are too many people applying for the exam.

Even if Mr. Wang is in front to support us, it won’t work.

Finally, after Mr. Wang learned about this, he drove over to find out what happened.

then
Then the expected enrollment plan was changed to 400 people.

And after two years, four to five hundred people will be enrolled every year.

Only in this way can the "raging public opinion" be calmed down.

After completing these three tasks one after another, Yang Xiaotao also focused on the production of CNC machine tools.

But today, September 10th, Yang Xiaotao had to put down his work, return to the courtyard, and work part-time as a cook.

After going to Jiubu in the morning and finishing his business, Yang Xiaotao rode his bicycle back to the courtyard.

When I came back, Ran Qiuye was also busy cleaning the house.

Cuiping helped the people in the yard to clean up the house inside and out.

Today, Ran Qiuye is going to host a banquet at his home for several female teachers from the countryside, saying that they want to discuss the future education issues for rural children.

To put it bluntly, it's just a tea party.

I just need the help of the 'chef' Yang Xiaotao.

There is nothing to say. My wife hasn't made any requests in all these years. This is the first time she has said it. Yang Xiaotao has to satisfy whatever she says.

Besides, Yang Xiaotao also wanted to take some time to relax. It was not good to be tense all the time.

After returning to the kitchen and busying myself for a while, I heard the sound of talking and laughing outside the courtyard.

Ran Qiuye hurried out to greet them, and soon she saw Ran Qiuye and Li Lanxin walk in together, followed by Liu Yonghui, who was helping them. He was carrying a bag on his shoulder, and from its shape it was obvious that it was filled with corn cobs.

At this time, the corn has just matured and is still very tender.

Just roast it over fire and it will taste sweet and fragrant.

Of course, the mouth must be completely black.

Yang Xiaotao hurried out to greet them.

These two are the "founding fathers" of Yangjiazhuang Primary School.

When the two entered the room, Li Lanxin sniffed and then said with a smile, "Teacher Yang, if you change your career to become a chef, you will definitely make a good fortune."

Yang Xiaotao raised the shovel in his hand and said in a nonchalant manner, "A teacher who can't cook is not a good worker."

The three of them immediately laughed when they realized what was happening, and then Li Lanxin even asked jokingly, "Are you a good teacher, a good cook, or a good worker?"

Yang Xiaotao sighed again, "Can't you see this?"

“I’m a good husband now.”

Li Lanxin reacted immediately and smiled at Ran Qiuye and said "hmmmm". Ran Qiuye blushed and quickly pulled her into the house.

Liu Yonghui came up to Yang Xiaotao and they started chatting.

Of course, most of the topics were about trivial matters in Yangjiazhuang.

After a while, Lao Hong and Teacher Zhang came over and praised Yang Xiaotao who was busy in the kitchen.

Yang Xiaotao was surprised, "Lao Hong, you also asked for leave?"

Lao Hong picked up a cucumber and ate it. "No, you can take a leave, why can't I?"

Yang Xiaotao was speechless, and then he heard Lao Hong continue, "Not only me, Lao Liu, Lao Yang, and Lao Chen are all gone, only Lao Wang and Lao Li are left."

Yang Xiaotao was speechless again, "You just cheat the honest people." Then he received a cold look from Lao Hong, "Aren't you the one who led the way?"

Okay, Yang Xiaotao stopped talking.

Finally, the eldest sister's car stopped at the entrance of the alley, and Tang Mingyue led Xingxing into the yard. The gathering was complete.

Yang Xiaotao also brought the meal to the table, which immediately attracted a crowd of cheers.

Afterwards, Yang Xiaotao and Lao Hong gave the "venue" to the protagonists, and the two of them looked after the children in the yard.

Three grown men sat in the living room, with fruits on the table, watching the children playing in the yard.

"These kids are so cute and happy!"

Lao Hong sighed, saying that he had been to the battlefield and had a deep impression of those years.

Every day now is a blessing.

Liu Yonghui, who was standing by, scratched his head and laughed, "Yeah, when we were little, we didn't have such a childhood."

Yang Xiaotao poured tea for the two of them and said, "Don't even mention your childhood. Even ten years ago, did you have such a good life?"

"no!"

The three of them nodded together.

"By the way, these guys in your courtyard are quite honest."

Old Hong suddenly laughed.

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao looked at the children playing together in the yard, then looked at the people in the house, then raised his eyebrows and smiled, "That's right, don't you see who is in the house?"

"There are a bunch of teachers here. How dare they make trouble?"

Hearing this, Lao Hong laughed.

Among the children, Duanwu was looking at the small gourd hanging around Xingxing's neck with great curiosity.

He remembered that only his sisters had this thing, and Uncle Te also had one.

Could it be that these small gourds were all bought?
Just when Yang Xiaotao was about to serve the meal to the main hall, he suddenly saw a person running in from the Moon Gate.

After seeing the visitor, Yang Xiaotao hurried out to greet him, "Lao Gao, how come you have time to come? You are a rare guest!"

The person who came was Gao Yufeng from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

But at this time of year, shouldn’t we be busy harvesting corn?
How come you still have time to come here?

But before Yang Xiaotao could ask again, Gao Yufeng took a breath and pulled Yang Xiaotao's arm, "Xiaotao, something happened, something serious."

Yang Xiaotao's heart skipped a beat. Lao Hong and the other man in the room heard the noise and hurried out.

Even my eldest sister and the others were attracted by the sound and stood up and walked to the door.

"Lao Gao, what's going on?"

Yang Xiaotao asked quickly.

Behind him, Lao Hong came forward with an enamel mug and handed it to Gao Yufeng. Gao Yufeng took it and drank the whole mug of water. Then he touched his mouth with his hand and said after he felt better, "We just received news from the alliance. They said there is a problem with the seeds we provided. They said that there has been a large-scale reduction in grain production, and even a total crop failure."

"Now, we need to give them an explanation."

"What?"

After Gao Yufeng finished speaking, Lao Hong's face changed.

Yang Xiaotao also frowned, not expecting this to happen.

"There's already a commotion at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Dean Deng asked me to take you there quickly so we can work together to find a solution."

Gao Yufeng explained his purpose, Yang Xiaotao nodded to Ran Qiuye, then turned around and said, "Let's go, let's hurry up."

Gao Yufeng also apologized to Ran Qiuye and others, and then ran out of the courtyard with Yang Xiaotao.

At the door, the eldest sister frowned when she heard what Gao Yufeng said.

After thinking for a moment, he comforted Ran Qiuye and said, "This kind of planting is not only planted by the alliance, we also plant it ourselves."

"We just need to see if there's anything wrong with our own corn."

After the eldest sister finished speaking, Li Lanxin beside her immediately said, "Eldest sister, we just came from the village, and the corn cobs we brought were grown from our seeds, and they are very good."

The eldest sister immediately laughed and said, "That's even less of our business."

"Everyone, rest assured."

After saying this, he comforted Ran Qiuye.

"It's okay! Let's go inside and continue eating."

Ran Qiuye said to everyone with a smile, and the eldest sister also asked everyone to sit down again, and the courtyard returned to peace again.

On the other side, Yang Xiaotao and Gao Yufeng drove to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

In the car, Gao Yufeng explained how he received the message, and that was roughly what he meant.

The league wants someone to take the blame.

And the 'Yangcun No. 1' they provided is the perfect explanation.

China certainly doesn't want to take the blame after this.

If we fail to do this, how can we cooperate with other countries in the future?
So the Academy of Agricultural Sciences prepared to find a way to fight back.

Finally, Yang Xiaotao was found.

The car soon arrived at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Yang Xiaotao got out and ran into the office building with familiarity.

At this time, in the office building, besides President Deng, there were also my uncle and Mr. Tao.

Many people from other agricultural departments also came.

A group of people were discussing in the conference room, except for the three people in the front who kept smoking and remained silent.

bang bang
Yang Xiaotao knocked on the door and walked in quickly.

"Old Dean, Mr. Tao, Chief!"

Yang Xiaotao came up and greeted the three of them.

"coming."

"Sit down and talk."

The old dean spoke to Mr. Tao, and the uncle just nodded.

When everyone saw Yang Xiaotao coming, they all stopped talking.

Gao Yufeng then presided over the meeting.

Yang Xiaotao picked up a few photos on the table and took a look, only to find that the corn ears on the photos were not pulled out at all, and even if there were, there were not many.

And the ears are sparse.

This is completely different from the dense ears of corn brought by Liu Yonghui and his team.

Just by looking at this, you can tell that there are only a few seeds in this corn.

"According to the information we have received, this time there are more than one farm in the alliance that has experienced a large-scale reduction in corn production or even a total loss of production."

"The alliance has set up an investigation team and has listed us as a key target."

Gao Yufeng briefly recounted the current situation, and everyone immediately fell silent.
