Chapter 251: Cultivating Rice! Jin Lehuang Appears...
After a period of time, ** led his men to cover the entire Ningzhou area and even the surrounding areas.
God helps those who work hard, and in June, news finally came.
**The group brought some wild rice seedlings with them and finally arrived in Fufeng after much haste.
"Lord Gu, Lord Gu..."
** Covered in dust and with an untidy beard, he ran into Gu Jingzhi's courtyard, shouting as he ran: "We found it, we found it..."
When Gu Jingzhi heard the sound, he rushed out.
"What did you find?"
"The seedlings, the seedlings are found!"
seedling?
Gu Jingzhi was overjoyed and asked, "Did you really find it?"
"real!"
** pulled Gu Jingzhi and pointed to the officials in the back, each of whom was holding some seedlings.
"Good good!"
Gu Jingzhi said excitedly, "If this succeeds, we might be able to develop hybrid rice!"
No wonder he was so excited. You know, it took Mr. Yuan several years to succeed in the experiment. He was standing on the shoulders of giants. Although he did not have the rich agricultural knowledge of later generations, the new China at that time was actually not very developed.
He has been preparing for three to five years to develop hybrid rice.
I never thought that ** and others would have such luck.
You know, although hybrid rice is a technical matter, whether or not wild seedlings can be found is of paramount importance!
"Quick, put these seedlings in the farmyard..."
Gu Jingzhi didn't care about anything else and directly called people to go to the small courtyard specializing in hybrid rice research, where ** and others also lived.
After the others carefully placed the seedlings, he suppressed his excitement and said, "The next step is to carefully care for them and wait for them to bloom and pollinate. Then we'll know if they'll be successful!"
"Yes!"
** sighed, "This is the last test left. If it doesn't work, we'll have to wait another year. I just hope God won't let us down!"
"Brother Chen, don't worry, we will definitely succeed!"
Gu Jingzhi waved his fist. Although they had not yet started the trial phase, in terms of progress, they were starting from 1, unlike Grandpa Yuan who started from zero.
Therefore, Gu Jingzhi still has enough confidence!
He said, "In the next period of time, I'll trouble you all to take good care of these seedlings. When the time is right, we can start the experiment!"
"Don't worry, Lord Gu. Now that it has come to this, we must protect them even if it costs our lives!"
** said with great force.
Although he knew that this was a bit exaggerated, Gu Jingzhi still said, "Brother Chen, you must not do this. If we lose this seedling, we can always find another one in the future, but talent is the most valuable!"
"Without you, our hybrid rice would have been delayed even longer. We must not think like that!"
** and others nodded.
Then the group of people talked for a while, and suddenly someone came from outside the farmyard. When Gu Jingzhi saw the person, his brows frowned slightly.
"Brother Chen, and everyone else, I have other things to attend to, so I won't disturb you any further today. You just came back from abroad, so why not take a rest first? We can talk in detail when we have time!"
** and others smiled and nodded in agreement!
……
Gu Jingzhi walked out of the yard and came to a secluded place. Seeing that no one was around, he said in a deep voice: "Didn't I tell you that you must not appear in front of the world until Jin Lehuang is dealt with?"
"Sir, this matter cannot be delayed any longer. I have to report it personally!"
The person who came was wrapped in a black cloak and had an unusually cold voice. It was Qu Feiyan, who now worked for Gu Jingzhi.
Because of Jin Lehuang, Qu Feiyan has been hiding in the dark for the past few months. She cannot be exposed before Jin Lehuang is dealt with, especially in Ningzhou. Jin Lehuang has been planning for such a long time, and she must not let it go!
But seeing her being so cautious, Gu Jingzhi couldn't help but ask, "What's so urgent?"
"The eldest lady has received news that Jin Lehuang is now in Ningzhou!"
Gu Jingzhi was troubled when he heard this and asked, "Jin Lehuang is in Ningzhou? When did this happen? Also, how long has she been here? Did she say anything?"
Qu Feiyan shook her head: "We only know that she came, but no one has seen any trace of her. In addition, all the secret agents we deployed in the city have not been found!"
"The destruction of Lianyun Village must have made her wary. She only had someone contact the eldest daughter and knows nothing else!"
"Heh...you're quite alert!"
Gu Jingzhi sneered and asked, "What about the person who passed the message to her? Maybe he found some clues?"
“Not even once!”
Qu Feiyan whispered, "It must be because Ningzhou has changed so much recently that she's been cautious about her whereabouts. After all..."
She glanced at Gu Jingzhi, and the rest of her words were self-explanatory.
Jin Lehuang knew what kind of person Gu Jingzhi was, especially since Gu Jingzhi had caused such a big fuss and changed the face of Ningzhou. The most important thing was the destruction of Lianyun Village.
Jin Lehuang always contacted Lianyun Village in secret.
However, once something is done, it will naturally leave traces. He is not sure whether Gu Jingzhi has noticed it. If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine, but since this person is Gu Jingzhi, Jin Lehuang cannot be careless!
Gu Jingzhi thought for a moment and said, "When you go back, don't mention this to anyone. Just pretend that we didn't find out about this. There's no need to be wary of anything. Everything will be the same as before!"
When Qu Feiyan heard this, she immediately understood what Gu Jingzhi meant. She asked, "Sir, do you think she will appear again?"
"That's natural!"
Gu Jingzhi sneered, "She has been planning in Ningzhou for so long. Even though these plans seem to be ineffective now, there is no way she will give them up!"
Only twenty years have passed, and the Gu family's military orders and the Gu family's brand are still useful.
Looking at what Jin Lehuang has done, what she is after... is probably that military order and the Gu family's reputation.
Of course, there is also the batch of military pay stored in the basement of Ningzhou Prefecture!
However, what is strange is that after so much time has passed, Gu Jingzhi and his two siblings have not found the whereabouts of the military pay at all.
Money, military orders, reputation...
This is Jin Lehuang’s biggest plot. As long as we know her purpose, everything else will be easy!
Gu Jingzhi thought for a moment and continued, "She's just being cautious right now, and she'll even keep testing you. She won't formally contact you until she feels safe. My eldest sister isn't good at these kinds of schemes and tricks, so you should be more careful when you're around her!"
"You can even let her know more to dispel her doubts!"
"Don't worry, sir! These subordinates will take care of it!"
Qu Feiyan nodded, and then said with a tone of relief: "Fortunately, the eldest lady has already bought a shop, so we can tell them about it. Then we just have to wait for the fish to take the bait!"
"My eldest sister lives outside now?"
Gu Jingzhi frowned slightly!
