United States, Indiana.

Looking at the endless cornfields on both sides of the road, there was a hint of impatience in Jingzi's eyes.

The final defense of graduation is less than two months away. Because Kennedy College adopts a credit-based education model, as long as you have completed enough credits, it means that you can apply for a graduation defense at any time. Jingzi is like this now, because of the influence of certain things, a few months ago, Jingzi suddenly wanted to finish his studies here as soon as possible and return to Japan ahead of schedule. So she applied to the college for an early defense. After repeated persuasion from the academy could not change Jingzi's mind, the academy finally agreed to Jingzi's crazy idea.

The reason for doing this is that Jingzi also has her own considerations. On the one hand, she wants to return to Tokyo soon to stabilize her position with Minister Ando. On the other hand, Lin Xiuyi, who went to work in the United States a few months ago, did not take the initiative to contact her, which also made her feel extremely irritable. From then on, Jingzi felt that it would be a complete waste of time to graduate step by step on the American side.

"This is the best corn producing area in the United States. In order to protect the interests of these agricultural producers, our state government has provided technical, financial and other support to ensure that our agricultural production always maintains the highest efficiency and lowest cost. And this is also the fundamental reason why American agricultural products have always maintained a strong competitiveness!"

Just when Jingzi was quietly thinking about something about his graduation thesis, the car slowly parked on the side of the road. The Indiana Department of Agriculture official sitting in the front row, who is also the person in charge of receiving these students from Kennedy College this time, State Assemblyman Edward Mezvinsky suddenly stood up from his seat, facing the The visitors on this bus introduced the situation of Indiana's developed agricultural industry with great interest.

"Well, I know that everyone is also a government worker from various countries in the world, and they all have their own set of experience in public affairs management. So we won't repeat those boring concepts in books. Now, let's let Let's go into the fields, talk to the farmers here and see what can help them..."

When Mezvinsky got out of the car, Mr. Senator in casual attire greeted the students behind him warmly. Immediately afterwards, Mezvinsky's men also set up cameras and aimed at the figure of the congressman.

"Is it really a good story to introduce advanced agriculture in the United States to government officials from all over the world?"

Jingzi followed behind everyone bored, stepping on the rugged machine ploughing road under his feet and walked into the corn field that was about to be harvested. Soon, on an open space that had been mined, several representatives of local farmers had been waiting here for a long time.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Congressman Edward Mezvinsky of Indiana, and I'm in charge of state agriculture. You can always contact me if you need anything...haha...It's our duty to serve taxpayers pleasure!"

"Mr. Mezvinsky, it's very kind of you to come. We farmers just have something to ask for your help?"

"Oh? Really? It seems that I came at the right time? Look, many of the friends who came with me today are also government officials from other countries, and many of them are responsible for agricultural affairs. Now is the perfect time if you want me to help you sell your cornfields..."

Standing in front of the camera, Edward Mezvinsky put his hand on the shoulders of the farmers. He then spoke for the students of the Kennedy School who were present.

"Mr. Congressman, just not long ago, we suddenly received a letter from lawyers from Monsanto, and they said that we stole something from their... intellectual property, I think it seems to be the word. It seems that our corn contains Corn from Monsanto...what the heck genetic stuff! We just don't understand what's going on..."

"Yes, Mr. Senator! We are all honest farmers, and we have never taken anything from others. We contacted a lawyer in the city to help us understand the situation and want to find out. what happened...the attorney told us that it seems like our corn was pollinated with corn pollen from other nearby fields during pollination, so our corn contained some monsanto **** gene... heck Now, is this kind of thing something we can control..."

"Mr. Congressman, the surrounding farmers are all using the genetically modified seeds provided by Monsanto, only we don't like that kind of thing. Those people are desperately spraying herbicides on the farmland, except for corn, there is not even a weed in the farmland. I can't see, I really don't know if that kind of stuff is corn or not. Those seed salesmen used to sell those seeds to me, and I was a little worried that people would have problems eating them, so I rejected their product. Just a few A few months ago, a group of guys in suits ran over, collected some corn from us and brought them back. If I knew they were trying to sue us, I would have shot them to death on the spot with a shotgun..."

Mezvinsky, who was still chatting in front of the camera, suddenly fell silent. He patiently listened to everyone's suggestions, and then was silent for a long time.

"Okay, I already know your problem. It seems that you found me on the right track. I still have a personal relationship with the Monsanto executives. If you want to settle with them, I think I can help you. Let's get it together..."

"Reconciliation...how to reconcile!"

"Well... it's probably just to pay them some compensation. I think as long as you are willing to use their corn seeds next year, everything can be said."

"Compensation, but we didn't do anything. The lawyer said that if we plead guilty, the corn can't be sold to anyone, so how can we live..."

"This... I'm sorry, but you also have to understand that with the progress of science many things cannot be stopped, so, if you want, I can talk to the people at Monsanto to see if I can provide you with some Farm loans to replant their seeds. Otherwise, I can't help you either..."

The camera that was running all the time did not record the scene just now~lightnovelpub.net~ Mezvinsky turned around and left after saying these words. The students who came to visit also knew that Mr. Senator must have screwed up today's show, so they all walked to the bus with interest.

"I'll just say that these guys can't help at all... what a bunch of liars..."

"What should we do, if the corn can't be sold, we will all have to go bankrupt, our house, land, tractor will be taken away by the bank..."

"God, why are you treating us like this, if I go bankrupt, I won't have the money to pay for my daughter's college tuition..."

...

When Jingzi heard the desperate words of the peasants behind her, she couldn't help feeling a touch in her heart. She suddenly stopped her steps and sighed deeply!

"never mind……"

After Jingzi hesitated for a moment, he turned around and walked towards the desperate people again.
