Chapter 770: Broken to pieces

When he returned to work in Sinochem City, Xie Liangbin, the director of the office, reported to Zeng Yi, saying: "Director Zeng, the Municipal Government Office sent a notice to hold a government executive meeting the day after tomorrow. Please go and attend. This is the relevant materials for the meeting."

Xie Liangbin put the materials in front of Zeng Yi. The matter of Mr. Jiang’s welcome dinner has spread throughout Zhonghua City. Only then did Xie Liangbin figured out one thing. No wonder Director Zeng didn’t take anyone in Zhonghua City seriously, burned Fangming County, sang a stage drama with Deputy Mayor Li Jietong, and rectified Qin Jindang in public. It turned out that Director Zeng’s big backer was Mr. Jiang!

After thinking it through, Xie Liangbin regretted it. Although he did not neglect anything to Zeng Yi, he did not do his best to be united. Many times he was even more obedient. This was obviously a miscalculation. If he had known Director Zeng had such a big background, he should have completely surrendered.

Zeng Yi took a look at the stack of materials and thought that when Mr. Jiang did this, his treatment in Zhonghua City has improved a lot. In the past, Qin Jindang never sent him any relevant materials in advance. It was just a notice from the previous meeting, which often made him passive when he was on the meeting. This is also a major reason why Zeng Yi rectified Qin Jindang in public.

"Let go, I understand!" Zeng Yi said, signaling Xie Liangbin to leave without anything else.

Xie Liangbin felt even more regretful when he saw Zeng Yi's attitude. Zeng Yi now just treats himself as an ordinary subordinate, not a trusted butler.

Not long after going out, Xie Liangbin turned around and knocked on the door.

"Is there anything else?" Zeng Yi asked.

Xie Liangbin said: "Deputy Mayor Li just sent someone over and said he wanted Director Zeng to go to the municipal government and discuss something."

Zeng Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. Li Jietong has a very strong ambition. He is a typical academy and likes to do useless red tape. Generally, subordinates come to Li Jietong to report their work. Li Jietong rarely sends people to ask subordinates to discuss things. Today, Li Jietong can send people to invite them. It can be said that the sun comes out from the west, which probably has a lot to do with Mr. Jiang’s welcome dinner.

"Have you ever talked about what's going on?" Zeng Yi asked.

Xie Liangbin shook his head and said, "I didn't talk about the specific matters, I just said that Director Zeng would come over."

Zeng Yi raised his hand and looked at the time, saying, "Let Lao Zhang prepare the car!"

Xie Liangbin responded and immediately went out to inform the driver Lao Zhang to drive the car out. He thought to himself that when Mr. Jiang came, Director Zeng's market situation could be said to be rising sharply. In the past, no city leaders sent someone to "invited" the director of the Agriculture Committee to discuss good things. The director of the Agriculture Committee was looking forward to it, waiting for him to receive a call from the city leader so that he could show his face, but even such opportunities were not many.

"Director Zeng. Please get in the car!" When the driver Lao Zhang saw Zeng Yi coming out, he immediately opened the car door and stood aside with a proud look.

Zeng Yi smiled and said when he got in the car: "Master Zhang looks very good today!"

The driver Lao Zhang said, "If you can serve Director Zeng, your complexion will definitely not be bad." Zeng Yi's market has been bullish in the past two days, and the driver Lao Zhang's market naturally also rose with the current, so the complexion is naturally very good.

Zeng Yi smiled, without saying much, bent into the car. The driver Lao Zhang closed the door and quickly got into the cab to start the car and rushed towards the city government.

When he arrived upstairs, Zeng Yi's figure flashed just outside Li Jietong's office. Li Jietong's secretary quickly got up to greet him and said enthusiastically: "Hello, Director Zeng!"

Zeng Yi nodded slightly and said, "Is Mayor Li busy?"

The secretary smiled and said, "Mayor Li has already given the instructions. Director Zeng will just go in after coming." As he said that, the secretary raised his hand and signaled Zeng Yi to follow him in.

After knocking on the door in the inner room twice, Li Jietong's voice came from inside: "Please come in!"

Pushing open the door, the secretary said, "Mayor Li, Director Zeng of the Agricultural Commission is here!"

"Comrade Zeng Yi is so fast!" Li Jietong's voice immediately became much more enthusiastic. He laughed twice, then put down the documents in his hand, walked out from behind the desk, pointed to the sofa beside him, and said, "Come on, sit down and drink a little water first."

The secretary went over and brewed a cup of tea for Zeng Yi, and after putting it in front of Zeng Yi, he carefully retreated out.

"I rushed over after receiving the notice from Mayor Li!" Zeng Yi said, and sat there waiting for Li Jietong's following. He had not guessed the reason why Li Jietong came over yet. He demolished Li Jietong's platform on the straw issue. Li Jietong should have no good feelings for him.

Li Jietong did not rush to talk about the serious matters, but stood up, pulled out a scroll from the shelf next to her, and smiled and said, "I have written a sub-word recently. I feel pretty good. Comrade Zeng Yi is an expert in calligraphy. Please give me a comment!"

Zeng Yi was a little surprised. Li Jietong called him here, but he wouldn't just look at a piece of calligraphy. Since he came here, he was relieved. Zeng Yi had to say: "I am of no expert at this level. I can write and draw whatever I want. Commenting on other calligraphy works is just a show of my skills!"

"Comrade Zeng Yi is a little too modest!" Li Jietong laughed, opened the scroll, and hung it on the shelf next to it.

Zeng Yi saw the content written on the scroll clearly and felt a little confused. Li Jietong wrote nothing else, but Yu Qian's famous saying: "You don't have to worry about being broken into pieces, you must keep your innocence in the world." This is exactly the same as the word Zeng Yi gave to Mr. Jiang.

What puzzled Zeng Yi was, what was the meaning of Li Jietong's writing this calligraphy? Academic officials like Li Jietong liked to use ancient mottos to frame their feelings, and generally did not make up sentences casually. The characters he wrote would definitely be very consistent with his current mentality. Only in this way can he show his level.

But what exactly did Li Jietong do? He even used the word "broken to pieces"? Zeng Yi was a little puzzled.

"I didn't expect Mayor Li to have such profound calligraphy attainments!" Zeng Yi did not want to waste time on these off-topics. Moreover, Li Jietong's calligraphy is only able to see through. It is still far from a real masterpiece of calligraphy. Zeng Yi said: "Even a person who doesn't know much about comments can see that this calligraphy is full of righteousness."

"Oh, is that?" Li Jietong laughed. He liked to listen to the two words "righteousness". This is the theme of his writing.

Zeng Yi nodded and said, "Only by being upright can one not be afraid of being broken into pieces."

"That's the reason!" Li Jietong's smile became even stronger. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he was with his own words. Zeng Yi completely expressed the thoughts he wanted to express in this word.

Li Jietong admired the words for a while, then reluctantly retracted her gaze, sat in front of Zeng Yi and picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said, "Comrade Zeng Yi went to attend this agricultural work conference held by the Provincial Agricultural Committee, right?"

Zeng Yi nodded and said, "I just came back from the province."

Li Jietong put the teacup on the table, his tone became a little serious, and said, "The province has put forward clear requirements for the task of increasing grain production next year. The situation in our Zhonghua City is very serious!" Li Jietong looked at Zeng Yi and said, "What do Comrade Zeng Yi think about this?"

Zeng Yi was thinking, not in a hurry to express his opinion, but said, "I believe Mayor Li is already confident!"

Li Jietong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's not easy to be confident. I have some ideas, but I can't get it right, so I ask Comrade Zeng Yi to come over and make a total of the total."

Zeng Yi said, "I hope to hear it carefully!"

"Last year, the city organized an inspection team to the United States. I was fortunate to go out with the group and visited a modern farm. The situation there opened my eyes!" Li Jietong sighed, then picked up a folder that had already been placed on the table and said, "If you want to increase grain production, it seems that you have to rely on high technology!"

After saying that, Li Jietong placed the folder in front of Zeng Yi.

Zeng Yi picked up the folder and opened it. After looking down, he only looked at two pages, his brows immediately frowned. This document is nothing else. It is a report on genetically modified seeds. It focuses on the huge advantages of genetically modified technology in achieving increased grain yield. The report is equipped with many pictures, one of which is a comparison between ordinary seeds and genetically modified seeds. The land where ordinary seeds are planted is also ordinary, while the land where genetically modified seeds is planted has abnormally strong crops and the yield is significantly much larger.

Without looking down, Zeng Yi already understood Li Jietong's plan. Li Jietong planned to promote the hope of increasing grain production.

Li Jietong's idea surprised Zeng Yi. Even if he was in a hurry to get political achievements, he would not have taken such a move!

Genetically modified technology is a controversial high-tech means. For a long time, people have focused on whether genetically modified foods will have unpredictable harm to human health. From an individual perspective, this kind of worry is understandable. However, because of the improvement of civilization, it is no longer acceptable to the world to experiment with human bodies, so there is no conclusion in this controversy.

But from the perspective of the ruler, there is another issue that needs to be considered, that is, food security. As we all know, biological genes have dominant and recessive genes, and the genes of genetically modified seeds have great instability. In the short term, the purpose of increasing yield can indeed be achieved. However, with the increase in the number of plantings, the reproduction and mating of crops will lead to the rearrangement and combination of seeds, and new changes will occur. It is difficult to say whether the newly generated seeds can still maintain high yields.

Humans and animals will give birth to geniuses, and they will give birth to the next generation with natural disabilities, as will plants.

If you want to always maintain high yields, you must continue to use seed companies to provide seeds. Before our country has fully mastered GM technology, we will rashly promote GM seeds, and the result will be to give food security to others. Seeds are not like gold, which can not deteriorate for thousands of years. Three or five years later, if you suddenly find that there are defects in GM technology, even if you want to regain the cultivation that you have used for thousands of years for generations, you may not be able to find them because the seeds have deteriorated and cannot germinate.

The most serious thing is that even if genetically modified seeds are partially promoted, genetically modified crops will reproduce and mated with non-genetically modified crops in adjacent fields. The results of this hybridization are also unpredictable and will destroy the purity and stability of the original cultivated genes.
