Chapter 7 System Name
“All the people who protected me along the way from Europe are gone. They tried their best to protect me just so that the 40 kilograms of potato seeds I brought back to my motherland.
So I did the same. Even when I was sleeping, I would put the bag of potatoes under my quilt and sleep with me.
Because, as long as these potato seeds can return to the motherland and be planted in the fields, and harvested in one season, you can see the yield.
I believe that after you know this amazing yield, with the seeds, people all over the country will be able to have enough food to eat.”
When he said this, Chen Xiao's tone was a little heavy. After all, he traveled from the future. He knew how many people died in the end of this Anti-Japanese War.
From the day the Japanese army set foot on the land of Northeast China to the surrender in 1945, more than 35 million people died across the country.
At least 4 million regular troops died directly on the battlefield, and statistics show that more than 8 million civilians were massacred.
So what about the other 20 million people? How did they die?
Some died of starvation or disease due to the war...
Therefore, if there was a particularly high-yield crop at this stage, then perhaps these 20 million people would not have to die.
Of course, this is just a wish. After all, even if you have high-yield crop seeds, it will be useless without a stable environment to grow them.
Therefore, the system chose the relatively poor Jin-Cha-Ji base area. Because it was too poor, it would not be the main attack direction of the Japanese army, and it was more convenient to grow this kind of drought-resistant, disease-resistant and high-yield grain.
Hearing this, Li Yunlong and his companions stood in awe of the patriots Chen Xiao mentioned who sacrificed their lives for their motherland in Europe and who sacrificed their lives to bring high-yield and high-quality seeds back to their motherland.
Li Yunlong raised his hand and saluted Chen Xiao: "Thank you for your efforts and sacrifice. I, Li Yunlong, salute you on behalf of all the hungry people.
Don't worry! As long as I, Li Yunlong, am in the New 1st Group, I will never let anyone touch a single potato of yours.
Zhang Dabiao! "
Zhang Dabiao immediately stood at attention with a snap: "Here!"
Li Yunlong took a deep look at the sack on Chen Xiao's body and ordered in a deep voice: "Pick out the best squad in your battalion, obey the orders of the scholar, and protect this bag of grain seeds at all times until it is planted in the ground and harvested. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao stood at attention and saluted, then walked out quickly to arrange people.
Soon, a lean and strong squad of 14 people appeared in front of Chen Xiao.
"Scholar, look, are you satisfied with this arrangement?" Li Yunlong said with a chuckle.
Chen Xiao nodded: "Captain Li has done this, I am very satisfied.
I was worried that even if we planted the crops, we couldn't guarantee the safety of the test field. Now that we have this strong team protecting us, I feel relieved!"
"But, Captain Li, have you forgotten one thing? I heard that you, Captain Li, disobeyed orders on the battlefield. Given your army's style, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in this position for long!
So if Captain Li leaves his current location, how can I ensure the safety of my experiment?"
Li Yunlong shook his head and said, "That's impossible. Can you remove me from my position even if you win?
This is absolutely impossible!"
Chen Xiao still insisted, "What if you are transferred?"
Seeing Chen Xiao so persistent, Li Yunlong scratched his head, thought for a while, and felt that his worry was somewhat reasonable.
He called the intensive class in and pointed at Chen Xiao and said, "You guys know this scholar, right?"
"know……"
Everyone in the class answered in unison. Everyone who broke out of Cangyun Ridge knew Chen Xiao, the handsome scholar.
After all, it is reassuring to have someone who can smash a fire point that blocks your way on the road ahead.
"That's right! I believe everyone knows him. Let me tell you why I called you here. You have a mission that concerns whether all the hungry people can have enough food.
Now you have been separated from the new regiment and will be temporarily led by Xiucai.
Your mission is to protect the scholar's sack of high-quality potato seeds so that he can get a season's harvest. During this period, as long as he does not surrender to the enemy, you must completely obey his orders until the mission is completed.
During this period, no one, not even me, can change your orders. Can you complete the mission?"
"Let all the hungry people have enough to eat" was such a huge statement that it shocked the intensive class.
99.9% of the entire Eighth Route Army were born into poor common people. Only those who were born into the lower class knew how hard life was for the common people, and knew that being able to eat coarse food was a kind of happiness. Most of the time, they didn't even have the opportunity to eat coarse food.
So Li Yunlong didn't need to tell them how much the output was. He just said that it was related to whether all the hungry people could have enough to eat. This instantly perked up everyone in the class. They felt that the task they had received was sacred and arduous.
"Make sure to complete the mission!"
…
Soon, the new regiment arrived at its new base, a village called Lijiayu. They did not choose to find a place for themselves in the village, but instead set their sights on a barren hill outside the base.
"Scholar, you said you would give me a piece of cultivated land, but you refused it and insisted on reclaiming it yourself. Didn't you say that this grain seed is very precious? Don't you feel bad for wasting it like this?"
Li Yunlong tried to persuade Chen Xiao earnestly, but Chen Xiao remained unmoved: "The most important thing for us to cultivate these potatoes is to overcome the hillsides in many places and the newly opened forest land to ensure the yield.
No matter how much I say now, it is better to open up a piece of wasteland and plant some crops, and then show you the final harvest so that you can have an intuitive data.
So don't try to persuade me, I have made up my mind, just wait and see the harvest in 100 days!"
Then, they settled down on a barren mountain not far to the west of Lijiayu.
Now the reinforced squad of 14 people sent by Li Yunlong has become Chen Xiao's guard squad.
Except for the two people who were standing guard over the bag of potatoes, the remaining 12 people, plus Chen Xiao, burned the wasteland in just half a day, leveled a three-mu piece of land with a hoe and shovel, and plowed deep to form ridges.
Then it took another day and a half to move all the stones from a two-mile radius and build a courtyard wall with yellow mud.
Moreover, it was built very solidly, the foundation was dug deep, and the outer walls were built smoothly, completely eliminating the possibility of rats digging holes in.
It’s no wonder that Chen Xiao is so careful. It’s because these potato seeds are related to his life, so he can’t be too careful.
After everything was done, he called all the guards together and said, "Today, I will teach you how to grow potatoes!"
Don’t think that growing potatoes is easy . Before liberation, how people grew potatoes was a secret skill in some places, passed down from males to females (check it out on the Internet if you don’t believe me). Of course, this refers to certain places.
As for teaching everyone in the guard class how to grow potatoes, that was one of the reasons why Chen Xiaoguan wanted Li Yunlong to come to this class.
Because the system finally displayed the name the moment he killed the first enemy with his own hands.
"The Teacher System of the Universe, rewards and points are earned by guiding the host to teach students useful knowledge."
And it also triggered a side quest: the first teaching.
Task introduction: After owning land for growing high-quality potato varieties, recruit more than ten students and teach them the techniques of potato planting.
Mission reward: ten dollars, free attribute points +2, spearmanship (master level), basic fertilizer research and development technology plus one bag each of phosphate fertilizer, ammonia fertilizer and potassium fertilizer.
Note: The bayonet technique is derived from the spearmanship. If you possess master-level spearmanship, are you still afraid of bayonet fighting?
Mission failure: no penalty.
