Siheyuan: Back to 50 years ago, Shazhu joined the army

Upon hearing this, Lu Liangping questioned him angrily.

"You actually have the nerve to ask me, where did the upland rice seeds you gave me come from?"

Facing Lu Liangping's question, Lu Qi blurted out without thinking,

"Secretary Lu, these were collected from the people of Andong County. What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Liangping angrily rebuked Lu Qi.

"Problem? It's a big problem. These rice seeds are completely defective and useless. What are you going to do? Now the entire Heishan County has no harvest. How do you think we should deal with this?"

After Lu Qi heard the news from Lu Liangping, his legs and feet immediately went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

He looked at Lu Liangping helplessly.

"Uncle, no way, this can't be true."

Lu Liangping rolled his eyes at him unhappily.

"Don't look at me, think of a solution quickly, what is the problem?"

Lu Qi was also very confused at this time. He didn't know which link had gone wrong and had no idea at all.

Suddenly he thought of someone.

"Oh, Uncle, I've got an idea. We can go find Secretary He Yuzhu. He was the one who took the lead in developing dry rice. He must know what went wrong."

When Lu Liangping heard what Lu Qi said, he immediately urged, "Why don't you lead the way to find him? What are you doing here?"

Immediately, County Mayor Lu Qi and Municipal Party Committee Secretary Lu Liangping rushed to the County Party Committee Secretary's office.

At this time, He Yuzhu was looking at the reports submitted by various communes. To his surprise, the whole county could still have a bumper harvest this year despite the drought. This news was indeed very gratifying.

As he continued to browse the report, the voice of his secretary Chen Long came from the door.

"County Magistrate Lu, Secretary Lu, you..."

As the office door opened, He Yuzhu was quite surprised to see the sudden visit of County Mayor Lü Qi and Municipal Party Committee Secretary Lü Liangping. He immediately stood up from his seat and went forward to greet them warmly.

"Secretary Lu, County Magistrate Lu, why are you here? What's the matter?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Liangping immediately explained his purpose.

"Secretary He, this is what happened. I came to Andong County to investigate the autumn harvest. County Chief Lu said he had a few questions for you, so I came with him."

As soon as Lu Liangping finished speaking, he winked at Lu Qi who was standing beside him.

Seeing this, the latter immediately understood what was going on, and took over Lu Liangping's words and directly asked He Yuzhu,

"Secretary He, it's like this, I do have something I want to ask you."

When He Yuzhu heard what Lu Qi said,

"County Magistrate Lu, if you have anything to say, just say it."

After getting He Yuzhu's approval, Lu Qi immediately told him the purpose of his visit today.

"Secretary He, to be honest, I came to you this time because of the upland rice seeds."

He Yuzhu was quite surprised to hear his words.

"County Magistrate Lu, didn't I tell you about the rice seeds a long time ago? They are still in the trial stage and cannot be officially promoted. Therefore, I cannot provide you with this rice seed yet."

In response to He Yuzhu's answer, Lu Qi immediately explained,

"Secretary He, you misunderstood. I am not here to ask for rice seeds. I want to ask you some knowledge related to rice seeds.

I have done some experiments on this before, but the upland rice I produced did not produce any fruit. I would like to ask you, what went wrong in this process? "

When He Yuzhu heard Lu Qi's answer, he knew that this bastard must have obtained the second generation of rice seeds from the villagers without telling him. It would be a miracle if he could grow anything with them.

However, he pretended to be calm and acted like he knew nothing about it.

"County Magistrate Lu, the more I listen, the more confused I am. I didn't provide you with your rice seeds before. Where did you get these rice seeds from?"

Seeing that this question could not be avoided, Lu Qi confessed it honestly.

"Secretary He, to be honest, I got these rice seeds from the local villagers in Andong County. I originally wanted to try growing this upland rice, but the result disappointed me greatly."

He Yuzhu naturally would not believe Lu Qi's nonsense. In his opinion, the other party must have used some tricks to cheat those second-generation rice seeds.

And judging from the look on this guy's face, he probably didn't just plant a test field, but maybe promoted it on a large scale in a village, a town, or even a county. Now that something went wrong, he came to him for an explanation, but he would definitely have to continue to play dumb.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu changed the subject.

"Hey, County Magistrate Lu, I've already reminded you that my dry rice is still in the experimental stage and cannot be fully promoted. How could you do this?"

Lu Qi also knew that he was in the wrong, but he was eager to know where the problem was, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to ask He Yuzhu.

"Secretary He, do you know where the problem lies?"

He Yuzhu thought for a while and then spoke.

“County Magistrate Lu, this question is actually very simple. Because you are planting second-generation rice seeds, there is a chance that reversion will occur. This is a technical flaw in our rice seeds, and this is why I don’t promote it on a large scale.

By the way, are you really only planting in the test field? You haven’t planted it on a large scale, right?”

Of course, Lu Qi couldn't tell He Yuzhu the truth, so he could only bite the bullet and smile awkwardly.

"That's right, Secretary He. I'm testing it in a test field this time. Fortunately, it's not being promoted on a large scale, otherwise it would be a disaster."

He Yuzhu saw Lu Liangping standing silently, and then saw Lu Qi with a flickering look in his eyes. He guessed that these two guys must have secretly conducted a large-scale experiment, and something went wrong, so they came to him to ask the reason. However, he didn't care about that. It was you who didn't listen to my advice in the first place.

For this reason, He Yuzhu spoke again.

"If that's the case, then it's okay, but you have to be more careful in the future.

By the way, Secretary Lu, County Magistrate Lu, do you have anything else to ask?"

Lu Liangping shook his head.

"That's all. Thank you, Secretary He. We'll leave first."

Afterwards, Lu Liangping and Lu Qi left He Yuzhu.

After returning to the county magistrate's office, Lu Liangping, furious, kicked Lu Qi.

"You are such a spendthrift, you even took the rice seeds from the second generation, why didn't you investigate it beforehand?

Now, something has gone wrong. The entire Heishan County has no harvest and the people are about to revolt. This time, they are really killed by you, a fellow like you."
