Chapter 102: It's Started

  No matter what others think, Liang Sanping's days are still going smoothly. It has a strong flavor of "he is strong and he is strong, the clear wind strokes the mountain ridge". And the cadres at all levels in Bao Ting County are also carrying out vegetable planting in full swing.

  "Comrade! Didn't I already tell you the key to planting?! The soil covering this seed can't be too thick, otherwise it's not conducive to germination. And the base fertilizer also needs to be sufficient, but yours is clearly not enough..."

  A person who is obviously a technical agricultural staff member is painstakingly directing the crowd to plant vegetables, while a person who looks like a cadre is clearly dismissive.

  "Nonsense! Such good fertilizer, using it would be a waste. Our ancestors have been planting vegetables like this for generations, and nothing's gone wrong." But the official sneered, "You're just a young whippersnapper, what do you know!"

  "That's right! Young people these days learn a little bit of superficial knowledge and then jump out to point fingers and criticize...". The others around them were also echoing in agreement, looking at the technician with disdain.

  They don't want to go back to work, if they really listened to this technician. Then they have to dig the soil out again and cover it with fertilizer and plant seeds again. Isn't that extra work?!

  And these people also have their own thoughts. The fertilizer given to themselves is all high-quality farm manure! Although not much, deducting some for personal use is still good.

  What's the big deal about planting vegetables? Haven't we all been doing it this way for years?! Young people these days are so impatient, always rushing to fertilize and cover with soil. What a waste of effort! I'm only listening to you because our leader told us to, otherwise who would bother with you?!

  "How can you...you guys do this! We are here to assist you. These planting experiences are all tried and tested by us, effective and practical. Can't modify them arbitrarily..."

  This technician was obviously anxious, but where could he argue with people who often ran between the fields and laboratories? However, several cadres-like individuals turned up their mouths.

  "Alright! It's just planting vegetables, isn't it?! The old ladies in our village can all do it. You don't have to put in so much effort. Just stay wherever you are supposed to be. When we were planting vegetables, you little brat was still wearing split pants!"

  "Hahaha……" As soon as the cadre's voice fell, a burst of laughter erupted. However, the technician's face turned bright red, and he said to the cadres, "You're messing around! I'm telling you, if the dishes are not up to standard, the Japanese won't accept them!"

  "When the time comes, you'll be responsible for yourselves!" However, the technician was huffing and puffing as he retorted to these officials who kept mocking him: "You don't respect technology, if you come blindly, you'll suffer the consequences! When the time comes, I won't be responsible!"

  "What are you talking about?! You little brat, when we were farming, you didn't even know where you were! Now you jump out and tell us that you want to teach us how to farm?!" However, a 50-year-old cadre suddenly glared at him with his cow-like eyes, and then a string of dirty slang poured out.

  And the people around him naturally followed suit, scolding the technician, with some even rolling up their sleeves to teach this self-righteous young man a lesson.

  "You...this is unreasonable!" The technician, who had little contact with such people, was suddenly afraid: "I don't care! I don't care! Anyway, it's not me who will lose out in the end. I'll go and make things clear..."

  It's better not to say this, but as soon as it was said, the pot exploded. The faces of those officials in their fifties turned even darker and uglier, and with a wave of his hand, seven or eight people rushed forward and pressed down on that technician.

  "What are you doing?! What are you doing?! I was sent by the higher-ups to assist you, what do you want to do?!" He was suddenly punched to the ground and pinned down.

  The technician was stunned, and the cadre walked up and suddenly "slapped" the technician with a loud slap.

  "Get out, kid! If you want to leave, then leave. But when you get back, remember not to talk nonsense!" However, the cadre said viciously: "I'm telling you, it's not a big deal for me to get rid of you in this small place like Baoting!"

  "If you give me nonsense again, I'll bury you alive!!" The cadre said, and with a wave of his hand, someone picked up the technician like a chicken and lifted him up. The technician's face was full of terror and he didn't dare say another word.

  "Remember, we don't need you to take care of our vegetable garden. You can do whatever you want. If you dare to speak nonsense outside, I'll beat you to death!!" The technician was punched and kicked, and he quickly nodded in agreement.

  He was really scared, he didn't expect these people to be so brutal. They would beat you as soon as they said it. Based on this, he believed that the old man who just spoke might not be bluffing when he said he wanted to bury himself alive.

  With a heart full of terror, the technician rushed back to Bao Ting County overnight. He then cried to his mentor about what had happened and refused to go back to that village for technical guidance again, even if he was beaten to death.

  The experience of this technician is not an isolated case. Many dispatched technicians have more or less encountered this problem, some were severely beaten, and some were lightly hinted at to stop meddling.

  "What nonsense! What are they trying to do?! They think they can just...!" Professor Chen, the team leader, was furious. He bellowed at his assistant, "Get in touch with the county committee comrades right away, I want to see them now!"

  "This matter won't give us an explanation, they can't just get away with it!!" The teaching assistant heard this and immediately went out the door, heading towards the county committee.

  But before long, the teaching assistant came back. Facing Professor Chen, he smiled wryly and said: "Professor, the county committee's department in charge said that the leaders have all gone out to inspect. There is no way to contact them for the time being..."

  Professor Chen is not a fool either, and he couldn't help but sneer at these words. Fine, these county committee cadres are shielding their own kind. Perhaps in their eyes, offending the two houses that have nothing to do with them doesn't matter much!

  Those subordinates of yours are a bit too much, but it's a good thing that these little kids are pointing fingers at Bao Ting. If everyone who comes is like Professor Chen, the Bao Ting County Committee will definitely consider the impact.

  Professor Ke only brought a teaching assistant and students, which made the Baoting County Committee somewhat dissatisfied. What?! The ones who went to Jianghai Farm were a group of professors, but when they came here, it was just one professor with a teaching assistant and students?!

  Aren't you obviously looking down on our Baoting County Committee?! Since that's the case, then you'll have to taste our warning shot. Besides, this dish is just a small matter. I reckon Liang Sanping is doing it for his own profit, that's why he made such a big deal out of it.

  Our ancestors have been growing vegetables for generations, how can Liang Sanping know better than us?! Isn't this nonsense?!

  "Call the hospital... No! I'll go make the call myself!" Professor Chen's face was dark and terrifying, he growled at his assistant: "I really don't believe it, no one can handle them!!"

  The leaders of the two institutions are really unwilling to accept these officials from local areas, it's simple: everyone's system is different. And can't always be alarmed by the department because of a few teachers and students' problems?!

  The department won't come to you for no reason, and the result of reporting it will definitely be to send it back for re-coordination. Professor Chen, who knew about this situation, could only sigh to the sky and then raised several requirements with the hospital.

  Firstly, this work cannot be done. But in the future, if they themselves create problems, they cannot shift the blame to our hospital. Directly submit a report and say that the planting requirements of both parties cannot be reached and terminate the cooperation.

  Secondly, withdraw yourself and other teaching assistants and students immediately. If they want to do it themselves, then let them do it. Anyway, when the time comes and there is a loss, it's not the institute's responsibility. As long as you don't take responsibility, that's fine.

  These two courtyards were quickly passed through, but at the same time, a request was made. Let them go to Liang Sanping's place, after all, there is also a vegetable planting base of hundreds of acres there.

  And the previous cooperation also made the leaders of both houses feel that Liang Sanping was at least a little friend who respected technical personnel. If you don't stay here, there is a place where you can stay, isn't your Bao Ting not welcoming us? Then we'll withdraw and go to the place where we are welcome.

  Professor Chen did not have any objections to this, and Liang Sanping had also met him before. He was a young man who was very humble and courteous, not as arrogant and domineering as the rumors outside had said.

  "What's going on?! How did this happen, and now all these technicians are threatening to quit! You tell me, what should we do?! If the higher-ups investigate, who will take responsibility?!"

  Ge Tai's anger burned as he looked at those apathetic officials in the autonomous prefecture meeting.

  "Commissioner, it's not that we don't want the technology. But look, the two academies sent several old professors to the agricultural reclamation side. What they sent us is a bunch of students. What can these students understand?! It's obvious that the two academies are looking down on us..."

  "Exactly! Who doesn't know how to make this dish?! I even grew it myself when I was in the cowshed. A group of young people came over and made a fuss, one after another. Isn't this nonsense?!"

  Someone started it and the people below began to complain to Ge Tai. What students demand is high, one moment this doesn't work and another moment that doesn't succeed. Pointing fingers and drawing pictures is simply dogmatism.

  Some students can't bear hardships, as soon as they arrive in the village, they say this is not good and that is not good. They have many demands and are still not satisfied even after being given things. They act like spoiled rich kids and don't allow you to say anything, it's really unbearable!

  "Whoosh!" Ge Tai's face was gloomy, and he directly threw the draft documents of the two hospitals to the officials present. In a low voice, he said: "Since you all think you can do it, they can't, so sign this document!"
