Some people felt that she was too young and wasted her promising future on her own initiative. Others were shocked by her firm choice.

Shangguan Wan'er, who was at the center of Wu Zhou Dynasty's power, raised her head and thought about what kind of state of mind could make Miss Pearl make such a choice.

Does the ideal she wants to realize be that everyone in that area can eat fruits and vegetables?

The long-haired girl in the black-and-white photo has turned into a young woman with short hair. The smile on her face is still bright, and the look in her eyes is moving that they have rarely seen in the people around them.

"Good ambition!" Wang Shouren, who had already left the capital, clapped his hands.

As long as there is no war and the government is relatively stable and peaceful, the central government will always be better than the local government.

It is difficult for people with average willpower to resist the temptation of a bright future in front of them and go to a remote, bitter and cold place.

He is now going from the capital to take up a position in the local area, but no matter what he does, he will be an official, and what Wu Mingzhu learned was to farm there. In terms of the level of hard work, he thinks that he just studied There is no one who can read and work hard at the same time.

With such a talent, those who are serious and ambitious and want to do practical things will not care about her identity at all. They only think about how she can do things for the country and why she is so passionate about this country.

To put it bluntly, the Qin and Han Dynasties were still disputes between schools. During the Three Kingdoms period, the talents were from major families. The Tang Dynasty was only a little better than the Three Kingdoms period. The talents in the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties were for themselves and their families to stand out...

None of the ministers really care about the country, let alone the common people who don't know anything.

She, and so many people mentioned before, all want to do things for this country and the people here from the bottom of their hearts, so that everyone can eat well, eat well, and no longer suffer from hunger, cold, and disasters. Impact.

In addition to being envious and longing for talents, people with self-awareness are more afraid in their hearts.

Something that can unite them all frightens them more than the power these people gather.

Even if the anchor is very restrained and never tells them what kind of political system the future generations will be, and those who have vague guesses try not to actively think about it, they still can't help but speculate in the middle of the night.

Without the people's wisdom, the consequences will be the same as the Qing Dynasty sooner or later; if the people's wisdom is developed, everyone will be the same as the anchor sooner or later.

Fatal choices are really hard to make.

Although the anchor is now opening up people's wisdom.

[Wu Mingzhu, who came to Urumqi, found that there were no large melon fields here. After many investigations, she found that Shanshan County in Turpan was suitable for growing melons. The local watermelons and melons were rich in varieties, sweet and juicy, but there was no systematic summary.

Her eating habits and living environment hindered her. Without knowing the Uyghur language, she stayed in Shanshan County, which was poor at the time, and sorted out local melon seeds.

Turpan is known as the Fire State, and the Flame Mountain in Wu Chengen's "Journey to the West" refers to this place.

Shanshan County is located at the foot of the Flame Mountain. Not only is the terrain rugged, but it is also often full of wind and sand. Summer temperatures exceed 40 degrees Celsius and heavy snowfall is the norm in winter.

It was in such an environment of cold winter and scorching heat that Wu Mingzhu hardened herself into a farmer who could carry a hoe and do farm work in the hot and humid cotton fields in a high temperature of 48.1 degrees Celsius.

The local Uighur fellows named her "Moon Girl" and praised her for her will as strong as steel and her work as beautiful as rooster feathers. ]

This iron will, although she is not used to it, is also a compliment given to her by the locals. Ordinary families will also praise their children for their hard work, but they work like a rooster with beautiful feathers...

Different cultural customs still sound strange.

The Uighurs of the Qing Dynasty scratched their heads. Moon Girl was indeed their praise, but...

The young girl touched her braid and asked in confusion: "Grandpa, why do those Han people come to help us grow melons?"

The white-bearded elder thought for a while and replied: "It's not about planting for us, it's about planting for their families."

During the Jiajing Dynasty, the young Wu Chengen was a little shy when faced with the joking looks from his classmates.

I saw a book with my name on the anchor's bookshelf before, but how could I know when he wrote it and what story he wrote.

But he remembered the Flame Mountain and will definitely write about it in future books.

His friend promised him that as long as he is lucky enough to be selected, he must ask the host what is in the book you wrote. You're welcome.

Wu Cheng'en: You're welcome, but I don't really want to know. What I want to know more is how many years have I been awarded the Jinshi and how have I done as an official?

[In order to find the native species of "Red Heart Crisp", she and her colleague Li Zhichao walked for two days in the Gobi Desert and crossed the Flame Mountain.

It was getting dark and I didn't dare to go any further for fear of running into a wolf. I happened to come across a brick kiln and slept in it for the night.

In order to bring back the seeds of "Old Han Melon", she and her colleagues walked all the way holding the melons. When it was close to noon, they were tired and thirsty and then they remembered, "Hey, we are so stupid, why don't we eat the melons we brought?" Just keep the seeds of the melon!"

She and her colleagues went to more than 1960 production teams in Shanshan County, Toksun County and other places, collected more than pieces of information, and compiled the first complete melon file in the history of the region in .

In addition to 44 local watermelon and melon varieties, they also found some wild melons and saved a number of endangered melon species.

These melon varieties have also become her basic data for breeding watermelons and melons in the future.

After sorting out the melon seeds, Wu Mingzhu immersed herself in the research of watermelons. She spent all day in the fields and became a farmer who can do any farm work...]

The three Nan Yuan Beili, and this Wu Mingzhu, they are all great talents, and they are also ordinary people who can tell the difference between them and farmers in the crowd.

Those who really want to do farm work by themselves should raise their heads and think seriously about whether they would choose to return to the land and farm if they had the opportunity to study and work for the court.

Li Tai, who had a sore butt, knelt down with a pen to take notes, and muttered while writing.

"We definitely still need to cross-breed. Before crossing, we must first understand the varieties and distinguish them according to color, size, shape, and taste... We also need a good environment somewhere. We have to go to Turpan... "

Shielding his younger brother from Aye's scary eyes, Li Chengqian helped him change the paper.

Don't think about it. If you say this, Fan Ayedu will only tie you to Chang'an from now on. Just find a few Hu merchants to help you bring different seeds.

[She has no time to count the number of times she has climbed the Flame Mountain and crossed the Gobi; she is used to buying good melons when she sees them, and then goes back to record the characteristics and taste the taste.

When the melons were ripe, she spent almost all her salary on buying melons.

When the leader visited the county for inspection, and the research institute invited everyone to eat melons, she said: Be sure to get the seeds back.

When the leader left, the institute sent a melon to take away, and she immediately sent a car to recover it.

It seems that because of a melon, everyone is embarrassed.

But only she knows that a melon is a small matter, but a seed is a big deal. There must be no melon left without seeds!

They have successively bred excellent varieties such as "Red Heart Crisp", "Fragrant Pear Yellow" and "Xiao Qingpi", which are still excellent varieties for people to buy watermelon to this day.

The hard work of her and her team has changed the situation of Xinjiang melon farmers relying on the weather. 28 varieties of early, medium and late maturing varieties have been planned and planted. By 1996, the promotion area covered 80% of the main commercial melon areas in Xinjiang. ]

Zhao Guo nodded, understanding.

No matter what the embarrassment, the seeds are the most important. If it were him, he would also find a way to catch up with the little Huangmen next to the emperor for the seeds. At least their emperor would not be angry over such a trivial matter.

Li Tai, who had not planted any melons, also nodded. It would be nice if he was willing to invite them to eat the melons. Even if he gave them away, he would still have to wait for the recipients to send the seeds back.

The emperor and the officials thought for a while. If one day they went downstairs to inspect the work, the local government sent some special products, and when they left, they would send people to chase them.

Even if you wait for them to eat and ask for seeds, it is just for errands, this kind of behavior is very disrespectful.

But only those who only care about research work can achieve these results.

Melon farmers of different ethnic groups: What are the planned planting plans for the 28 early, medium and late maturing varieties? Can you tell us in detail, anchor?

[It takes at least 8-10 years to select and breed an excellent variety, but human life is limited.

In 1973, Wu Mingzhu proposed to speed up the breeding process and go to Hainan to open a 'south breeding and north breeding' base.

South-to-North Breeding means that after selecting and breeding high-quality melon seeds in Xinjiang, we will continue to use South-to-South propagation and other technical means to select and breed better watermelon and melon varieties to shorten the breeding time.

If oranges grow in Huainan, they will become tangerines, and if oranges grow in Huaibei, they will become tangerines. Natural conditions such as light, temperature, and temperature differences in Hainan and Xinjiang are completely different. It sounds like it goes against the natural laws of plant growth, and you should not try it forcefully. ]

People in the northwest may not necessarily know the allusion to oranges, but they still know the natural conditions in their own homes.

As for Hainan, I remember it is the southernmost big island. If nothing else, it rains a lot, especially when the monsoon comes in the summer. The rain will definitely pour down and soak the melons and vines, right?

Su Shi, who had taken notes in every class before, thought about it. Xinjiang is hot and rainless, and the sunshine is too good. However, there is melted snow and water. Qiongzhou can even make rice ripe three times a year. It is hot and rainy, and it rains a lot. The lighting is bad.

However, both corn and rice have planting bases there, and one more watermelon is not much.

People's lifespan is limited, so it doesn't hurt to let her try. After all, it is a way for research.

[Facing all kinds of doubts, Wu Mingzhu is very clear about her purpose.

She does not want to fight against nature, but to experiment by taking advantage of Hainan’s warm, humid weather and abundant sunlight in autumn and winter.

Using Hainan as a pilot project, we will improve the breeding speed and efficiency, let the south grow northern melons, and realize the dream of three or even four melon crops a year.

Breeding seedlings in Xinjiang in spring and summer, sowing seeds in Hainan in autumn and winter, Wu Mingzhu's scientific research team is like "migratory birds", flying to the ends of the earth, traveling year after year, without rest days or holidays.

In 1973, she was appointed deputy director of the Science and Technology Commission of the Turpan region, but she resigned in 1983 in order to focus on growing melons.

After being elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences planned to build an "academician building" for Wu Mingzhu, but she firmly refused: I live in the breeding base for most of the year, why do I need such a big house. ]

Looking at the flight path from Turpan to Hainan on the map, everyone fell silent.

Throughout the year, migratory birds only fly back and forth, but she flies much more diligently than migratory birds.

Even if there are planes in the future, Li will be tired when traveling. She is not just playing but growing melons. Both people and melons may be acclimated to the environment.

People in the northwest did not expect that one day the melons they grew would be able to fly to Hainan. They had never seen the sea themselves, but they could see the melons.

Li Tai, who was very nice in geography class, continued to take notes. The high temperature environment was correct, and plenty of water was needed.

"Does this mean we have to plant melons even if we don't even do anything as an official?"

The students who had not passed the exam looked at the melon fields on the sky with unstoppable envy in their eyes.

Admiration is admiration, but most of them know that they do not have as great an ideal as Wu Mingzhu. Even if he has some ideal of saving the world and the people, his inertial thinking is still to think of becoming a superior official first.

Seeing that she didn't want anything and only wanted to grow melons, these people who were obsessed with the imperial examination felt even more inexplicable.

[In 1984, Wu Mingzhu cultivated a sweet and crisp watermelon from the 8424th group of seeds. She named this watermelon " (Zaojia)" and taught the planting techniques to farmers free of charge.

Planting began in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and then gradually expanded to northern provinces and even the country.

In 1995, Wu Mingzhu led a team to breed melons and watermelons that could finally produce three crops a year.

She and her team further selected the best watermelon varieties, improved their disease resistance and uniformity, and developed new varieties that are both delicious and beautiful.

In Shenzhen, Zhuhai and other places, she and her team use technologies such as coconut bran and deep hydroponics to grow cantaloupe and other melons, expanding the scope of melon cultivation to southern regions such as Guangdong and Hainan. ]

The shock of having melons growing three times a year is not as impressive as rice to them, but the act of teaching melon-growing techniques for free made everyone think of Granny Huang right away.

One of them weaves, the other grows melons. A hundred years apart, they are using their wisdom to benefit ordinary people.

People in the southern coastal provinces can't believe that in the future they will not only grow watermelons, but also honeydew melons from the Western Regions?

[Wu Mingzhu, who is over 90 years old, suffers from Alzheimer's disease. Her son may not recognize it, but the memory of growing melons is still there. Sometimes she suddenly wants to go out, muttering that it's time for the melons to be pollinated...]

From a gentle girl with two long braids to a gray-haired old woman, her life is so extraordinary and the things she does are so ordinary.

To sum up, it is to read, plant melons, plant melons, and still plant melons.

Having someone study the ink, Cao Zhi felt that he was inspired again and could write a "Pearl Fu".

Cao Pi had already written the words "Yong Wu Niang". He believed that sooner or later he would have the opportunity to show his poems and articles to the anchor.
