,

spn Riding his bicycle, feeling the long-lost freedom and fresh air, Zhang Shusheng enjoyed a familiar comfort. In fact, his "character" was not particularly suitable for being a politician, but he just happened to come to this era and brought

With the ideal of transforming China, it would be impossible for him not to do it.

If he came to power because he changed history, then history also forced him.

Along the suburban roads, the speed of cycling is not slow. The economy of Kunming Economic Circle is becoming more and more developed. Although only a few cars are seen driving on the suburban roads along the way, many trucks can be seen driving

Goods, some meat and vegetables, some industrial products, leave or enter the city.

In the past few years, the southwest has changed so much that Zhang Shusheng vaguely felt like a later generation. Every road is filled with transport vehicles, including rare private cars, many large trucks carrying goods from the north and the south, and even more

Tractors bought by some villages that raised funds roared past. These scenes represent the annual growth of the national economy.

According to a latest economic forecast, due to the stimulating effect of the war, the southwest's economy is likely to reach the development level of Italy by the end of the year. If the reunification issue is successfully resolved, within the fourth five-year plan, the southwest will completely transform these

Third-rate or even second-rate capitalist countries transcend.[

Along the road to the countryside, Zhang Shusheng rode north. About an hour later, he arrived at a village more than ten kilometers away from Kunming.

If you go further, the road ends, and there are only a few rugged township-level roads extending into the mountainous area. Zhang Shusheng did not go further, stopped his bicycle and walked to the entrance of the village. From the arrow stone tablet at the entrance of the village, he knew this.

The village is called Hongdou Village.

This village is not like Lishuping in the past, which is limited by the shallow hilly terrain and has a low degree of community. There is only one community point in the area leading to the village entrance road, and other residential buildings are scattered on the mountainside or hills.

Late June is already an important stage of rice growth. You can see plump rice ears fluttering in the wind everywhere in the rice fields. The rice in the filling period has entered the last hurdle before harvest. As long as everything goes well, looking at the growth of rice in the rice fields, this year will be another year.

A bumper harvest.

A group of people squatted in the rice fields on the roadside in front. Several people stood in the fields. From time to time, they bent down and pulled out one or two rice plants and handed them to the people beside the paddy fields. They seemed to be discussing something. They were far away, and Zhang Shusheng just

Hear the words "grouting, water, this year...".

When it comes to rice, Zhang Shusheng can be considered an expert. When he first started studying hybrid rice, he almost learned it from scratch. Together with Zhou Zikai, he came up with hybrid rice. Because the food problem is indeed one of the biggest problems in China.

He often participated in subsequent research on new species.

.With years of scientific research and the changes that the Dream Machine has brought to him, those incredible exclusive redemption items, such as physical fitness pills, brain transformation pills, interstellar learning machine training, etc., are not to mention.

Relying on those advanced technologies, Zhang Shusheng's own scientific wisdom is already world-class.

"Master Jiang, from the looks of these rice plants, the disease is definitely there, but why the last application of medicine had no effect? ​​I thought about it for a while and still can't make up my mind. Maybe there was something wrong with the preparation of the medicine.

question."

An agricultural technician wearing work clothes for going to the countryside was telling several villagers about rice. It seemed that this young agricultural technician had encountered a problem.

"Comrade Xiao Xu, the rice is about to be harvested, but don't let anything go wrong. Please think of a solution."

A very old man, about 60 years old, with a straight body and good spirits. Maybe it was the rice disease that bothered him. He frowned and looked at the paddy fields.

"Don't worry, Master Jiang. I'll take another look. I'll go back to the top immediately to respond to this problem. I'll come back tomorrow." The little Xunong technician obviously encountered a problem. Although he had collected enough diseased plants, he still couldn't.

Not in a hurry to go back, he walked along the field head to check the condition of the rice, then took off his shoes and got out of the rice field himself.

Zhang Shusheng stopped the self-study car and leaned over, walked over, picked up a diseased rice plant, and looked at it carefully.

"Comrade, look what's going on."

When the villagers saw Zhang Shusheng's dress and saw him holding diseased rice, they thought he was also a staff member of the agricultural technology station, and immediately introduced the situation to him.

Master Jiang also came over and helped him fan himself with a fan.

The problem with rice was relatively simple. It was caused by the compound attack of several diseases. The agricultural technician must have just graduated and was not very experienced yet. Then he took out a pen and wrote down a few medicines and handed them to him.

An agricultural technician.

"So that's it. You know too much about rice. May I ask who you are?"

The little Xunong technician thought that Zhang Shusheng was a teacher from some school or from a research institute, and couldn't help but feel a little shocked. He originally thought that he, a graduate of a technical school, should be considered quite capable in this town, but he didn't expect that a casual person on the roadside

A passerby can be regarded as a semi-expert, and he can't help but respect him.

"I once worked at the Rice Research Institute in Dongchuan, but later I became unfit to do research, so I changed my career to a journalist. Today I am going to the countryside to pick up some articles and take a walk around."[

Zhang Shusheng explained the personal identity that he had prepared a long time ago. If someone really wants to check his ID, he can take it out. The security department has prepared a bunch of fake identity information. It is wrong to say that it is fake. He will definitely check it when he goes to the original unit.

The information of this person being compiled was found.

"It turns out to be a reporter. What a pity." The agricultural technician was a little disappointed and began to sort out the information on the diseased rice, preparing to go back and prepare medicine. He thought that if this was a rice researcher, he would at least be a graduate of Southwest University.

Yes, it's no wonder that he has stayed at the Rice Research Institute in Dongchuan District, which is a coveted place. Judging from his level, he is at least about the same as his teacher.

"Comrade reporter, you must interview Master Jiang."

"Yes, Master Jiang is almost 70. He rents and cultivates so many fields by himself, just for the children in the school."

When the villagers heard that the reporter was coming, they immediately gathered around, hoping that Zhang Shusheng would interview Master Jiang.

"Folks, I haven't decided who to interview and write about today. I originally wanted to come down and interview some things related to the school. If what you said is true, I will interview Master Jiang." Zhang Shusheng said happily. It seems that

There is something extraordinary about this Master Jiang.

"Comrade reporters, what are you guys joking about? What's the point of interviewing a bad old man like me?" Master Jiang was a little embarrassed when everyone said it, and said modestly. "If you want to interview, you can interview those teachers. They are the real ones."

It’s very difficult. There is a female teacher who has just graduated and is still a college student in the city. She has been visited several times by her family, but she just doesn’t want to leave here.”

"Comrade reporter, Mr. Jiang fought against the French devils in the Sino-French War. For this reason, you must interview him."

However, when Master Jiang heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly, and he sighed: "Sanyaozi, that happened so many years ago, I have told you so many times, forget about the past.

"

The old man seemed to be in a bad mood. After sighing, he went to the field to remove tares with bare feet.

He was actually a veteran of the Sino-French War. Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but stand in awe. He had also heard about the brutality of the Sino-French War. At that time, at Zhennanguan and throughout the Sino-Vietnamese border, the Chinese army faced the French invasion.

Guns and artillery can be said to have caused heavy casualties. However, it was the victory gained at this tragic price that was ruined by the Qing government.

Looking at the lonely veteran in the rice field, maybe he was the only one left in the platoon (a platoon and shed) where he was at the grassroots level of the Qing army.

Although Zhang Shusheng was very curious about this veteran's story, seeing his lonely figure, he didn't want to bother him. After answering some villagers' questions about crop planting, he planned to go to the school to have a look. After all, going to the countryside

It would be a pity not to visit the school during this trip. This is a good opportunity to learn about grassroots education.

"Reporter Zhang"

Zhang Shusheng was about to turn over and jump on the bicycle when Master Jiang's voice came from behind him. He stopped immediately, turned around with a smile and said, "Mr. Jiang, what's wrong with the rice?"

"No, I heard that you want to go to school. Let me show you the way."

"That's great."

Just like this, as an ordinary person, Zhang Shusheng came to Hongdou Village Primary School under the leadership of this veteran of the Sino-French War. After listening to his introduction, he learned more about this school.

This is a primary school jointly built by three villages. At that time, the "government" allocated funds and transported cement, bricks and tiles. It only took the three villages half a month to build the primary school. The enthusiasm is really incredible.

Starting from laying the foundation and building the wall, the villagers worked day and night. After the teaching supplies and teachers were in place, enrollment began that month.

"The teacher Xiaofang who is taking the music class graduated from Kunming Conservatory of Music and specializes in giving folk music classes to children. Unfortunately, we can't hear her flute teaching now. In order not to delay other classes, her music

The performances are arranged in the afternoon after school, and many students

They all brought bamboo flutes to listen to her class." Master Jiang and Zhang Shusheng stood in a corner of the school, looking at the classroom from a distance, and introduced to him the 'rebellious girl' from the city, "I heard that this child's family is poor.

It's very good, but she still insists on going to the countryside to teach, which is really not easy."

From Zhang Shusheng's point of view, it was a young female teacher with two pigtails. She was quite dignified and looked like a very elegant girl.

Immediately, the two walked around the school again. Zhang Shusheng found that the teaching atmosphere in the school was very good. Judging from the teaching content vaguely heard from a distance, it was of a very high standard. It could be seen that the teachers were well prepared.

.The students are also very serious in listening to the class, and no one is deliberately slacking off. Master Jiang said that the students are all ashamed of not taking the class seriously.[

Although the facilities in the school are relatively simple, they are complete, such as a cement table tennis table, a very smooth playground without grass, and two strong basketball stakes on the basketball court.

The most eye-catching thing is that the school actually has a sizable library. Although Southwest attaches great importance to the construction of school libraries, the size of the library's collection obviously exceeds that of a primary school, and at least reaches the size of a junior high school.

"Master Jiang, why are you here?"

At this time, a middle-aged man in the distance saw Master Jiang and Zhang Shusheng and happily came over to say hello.

"Come on, Master Jiang, go sit in my office and drink tea. Who is this?"

"This is a reporter from the city who is here to write news."

"Ah? It turns out he's a big reporter in the city. Come on, come inside and sit down. You're right here today. You want to interview Master Jiang."

It turned out that this was Tang Chenghe, the principal of Hongdou Primary School. Under Principal Tang's introduction, Zhang Shusheng had a complete understanding of Master Jiang.

This Master Jiang is indeed a veteran of the Sino-French War.

At that time, for some reason, this veteran gave up the opportunity to be promoted to battalion commander of the Qing army. This was a very high position at the time. Even if he finally retired and returned home, he would be a respectable figure.

The people in the village didn't know much about what happened. They just knew that after the veteran returned to his hometown, he used a little savings to build a house and then farmed at home. He was very good at carving knife skills and always taught the villagers some skills.

Many people in the village were his apprentices in the craft of carving, which was also an important means of livelihood for the locals before the liberation of Kunming.

After the liberation of Kunming, when the school was being built in the village, Master Jiang was the first to take the lead in donating all the money. Later, because many people in the village went to the city to make a living and could not care about farming, he helped them farm because they did not have to pay agricultural taxes.

, all he needs to pay for farming is a little money for seeds and fertilizers (paid in harvest, called agricultural fertilizer tax.)

In this way, Master Jiang cultivated the fields of six or seven families. When the farming was busy, he didn't even bother to go home to eat. He took a simple meal bag and settled on the edge of the fields.
