Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

Chapter 109: Being Ignored, Using the Force to Fight Back
"Third brother, have you been unhappy lately? If you're unhappy, don't be a captain. With your abilities, you'll never be able to make a living anywhere."

This time, it was sent several miles away.

Pan Lianhua felt a little indignant for Fang Wei, thinking that he had done so many good things but received no kind response.

Her idea is very simple, that is to never let the person she likes suffer any injustice.

"It's okay, I know what's going on."

Fang Wei smiled, then walked forward and hugged the other person in his arms.

The two of them can hear each other's heartbeat, and at this moment, the other person is the whole world.

After a few minutes, the two separated.

Fang Wei walked down the mountain with big strides, not at all affected by other people's actions.

A month goes by in a blink of an eye.

The second team welcomed the summer harvest in the fields.

Under the leadership of Fang Ping, the breeding team participated in the team's "double harvest" work, rushing to harvest and plant, because the farming season does not wait for anyone.

The days passed in busyness.

Fang Wei had some tofu ground, and every household received a few pounds.

After the double harvest was over, he asked the old accountant to buy some brown sugar to share with everyone as a reward for their hard work.

At the same time, he upgraded the [Planting Area] and designated all the farmland in the team.

[Owned (temporary) land] → [Farmland] → [Planting area]

【Regional area: 50 square meters】

[Area Level: (Level 9, 0\100000)]

[Regional attributes: drought resistance, flood resistance, disease and pest resistance, accelerated growth, increased production and income]

[Planting in this area increases all attributes by an additional 90% (45%)]

Total points: 60611

After spending 50000 points to upgrade the level of the [Planting Area] to level 9, Fang Wei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it is the summer planting season, and the team's grain output will increase significantly.

The current area of the [planting area] is 50 square meters, roughly equivalent to 750 acres of land, which is more than enough.

After all the statistical data came out, Fang Wei personally announced it in the threshing ground.

"The summer harvest has concluded, with a total rice yield of 120 kilograms from 59640 mu of land, or an average yield of 497 kilograms per mu.

We planted [Nongken 58] japonica rice for late rice, and if nothing unexpected happens, the rice yield will increase further.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of applause from the audience.

The members recalled that in the past, the second team was at the bottom of the entire brigade and had to rely on sweet potatoes to fill their stomachs for half a year. Even so, they often did not have enough to eat.

And now? Team Two has become a well-off village known throughout the commune, with no worries about food and drink, and even receiving some cash at the end of the year.

All this is due to the changes brought about by Fang Wei.

"Okay, now let's start distributing the rations."

Fang Wei stretched out his hands and made a downward pressing motion, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

Then he announced the distribution of rations, and everyone consciously lined up in front of the barn in an orderly manner.

Not counting seeds, there are still 26 kilograms of rice in the granary. This time, the rations are distributed based on an average of 500 kilograms of rice per person, for a total of 74000 kilograms.

There were still 18.6 kilograms of grain in stock, so he decided to pay the public grain tax in advance, and pay a year's worth in one go to avoid the trouble of paying twice.

After paying 6 jin of public grain (requisitioned grain), there were still 12.6 jin of grain left in stock.

All the stored grain was sold at the negotiated price, and the team's income increased by 12600 yuan.

The second team was immediately rated as an "advanced grain-paying collective" by the grain purchasing department, and was rewarded with a batch of feed. At the same time, they also enjoyed the treatment of year-round feed supply at a fair price.

After cleaning the barn, this year's new grain is stored.

试验田那边收获的籼稻30233斤、粳稻37000斤，留下了30000斤【南光一号】三代稻种，以及30000斤【农垦58】三代稻种。

Of the rice produced in the fields, 50000 jin (three generations) of second-grade rice seeds were left behind.

The grain reserves are only 16873 kilograms, the lowest point in the past two years.

"Third brother, second-grade rice seeds can only be grown for one or two seasons at most. What's the point of keeping them?"

Before the summer planting, no production team came to exchange rice seeds.

On the one hand, Zheng Hu felt very angry, but on the other hand, he was puzzled by Fang Wei's behavior of saving a large amount of rice seeds.

No one wants the rice seeds anymore, so what’s the point of keeping them?

In particular, the rice seeds produced in large fields are classified as "second-grade" rice seeds. Logically, they have no value in preservation.

"It will definitely be useful. Don't worry, these seeds left behind will eventually become treasures."

Fang Wei didn't explain much and just asked Zheng Hu to wait patiently.

Zheng Hu still couldn't figure out how these seeds went from being unpopular to being so popular. However, given his blind trust in Fang Wei, he stopped talking about it.

Team 2 was the first production team in the entire commune to complete the "double harvest" work, and other production teams followed suit. In short, Xiatang Brigade was in the forefront again this time.

Zheng Xianfa was very happy, not only because of the production progress, but mainly because all the production teams under the brigade made a small profit.

Xiatang Brigade was the first to conduct trial planting of [Nanguang No. 1]. When its planting was promoted throughout the county, the seeds saved by each production team became popular and were exchanged for a large amount of rice.

The first generation of seeds, which Fang Wei calls the second-grade rice seeds, have an exchange rate of 1 to 5.

The exchange rate for the second-generation seeds, that is, the second-grade rice seeds, is between 1 to 2 and 1 to 3.

Fang Wei's pure third-generation [Nan Guang No. 1] rice seeds have an exchange rate of 10 to .

Many production teams were greedy for cheap seeds, and out of jealousy of Fang Wei, they were unwilling to go to Team 2 to exchange seeds. This led to the previous situation: other production teams were doing well in exchanging seeds, while Team 2 was deserted.

Other brigades in Yaoling Commune also ate some meat. In short, apart from Fang Wei, the main person involved, most people in Yaoling Commune gained some benefits.

This is also the important reason why Fang Wei was hated and wanted in other communes, but respected in Yaoling Commune.

Fang Wei's current strategy is to wait. Once the per-acre yield data for the autumn harvest comes out, the planting effects of various types of seeds will be intuitively displayed to everyone.

By then, everyone will naturally understand how to choose.

Will the 11 kilograms of seeds in the barn be useless? This is impossible. I'm afraid the supply will not meet the demand.

morning.

After breakfast, Fang Wei and his elder brother harvested the "tribute rice" planted on a piece of land.

The rice is then dried, threshed, and weighed. The yield of the tribute rice is surprisingly high, reaching 260 kilograms per mu, meaning one mu of land yields 26 kilograms of rice.

[Harvested crops, points +26, total points: 60637.] After selecting, Fang Wei left 20 kilograms of seeds and 6 kilograms of "tribute rice" for Tian Guihua to cook.

"Third brother, this rice tastes very good, but the yield is a bit low."

Fang Ping praised this tribute rice highly. This rice is a kind of indica rice and tastes a bit like the fragrant rice from the Indochina Peninsula, but it is different when you taste it carefully.

Tian Guihua also said that this kind of rice is delicious, and it tastes better than [Nanguan No. 58] and [Nongken ].

"Then plant some more, and when the late rice season comes, plant an acre of tribute rice in the experimental field."

Anyway, Fang Wei still needs to collect more rice varieties, just as an experiment.

In addition to saving for seeds, the remaining tribute rice can be taken back as food and deducted from his allocated share.

He has never been a rigid person and knows how to adapt.

This morning.

Suddenly three strangers came to the team.

When some members came forward to question them, they said they were looking for the team leader, so the members took them to the team headquarters.

"Hello! I'm Fang Wei, the production team leader of Team 2. What can I do for you three?"

"Captain Fang, hello, hello. I'm Liu Cheng, the person in charge of the purchasing station, and these two are both staff members. We've come here specifically to apologize to you."

Liu Cheng is a middle-aged man with a shiny forehead. There are two other staff members, one male and one female.

After his narration, Fang Wei finally understood the whole story.

The last time Fang Ping went to the purchasing point to sell soybean seeds, the price was given by these two staff members, and the price was set according to the lowest level at that time.

Fang Ping argued with them for a long time, but finally got so angry that he decided not to sell the beans and left with the soybean seeds.

A long time passed, and Fang Wei and the second team became more and more famous. High-yield crops such as [Nanguang No. 58], [Nongken ], and [Yaoling Soybean] began to be sought after.

Liu Cheng then realized what he had missed. He scolded the two workers and took the initiative to apologize.

"Director Liu, you're welcome. It's the past now, and I don't want to talk about it anymore."

This is not a big conflict. Since the other party has apologized, Fang Wei will not be unreasonable.

He then had Fang Ping called over, and the two staff members apologized to Fang Ping in person again.

"Haha, Captain Fang is so generous. I'm here for another thing. I want to buy some rice seeds and high-yield soybean seeds. I'll definitely give you a good price. What do you think?"

Liu Cheng finally showed his true colors and said he wanted to buy the seeds.

Fang Wei did not refuse to cooperate because of what happened before. He immediately asked Fang Wenshu to make tea, pulled Liu Cheng to sit down, and started bargaining.

It is naturally not possible to exchange rice for seeds, as all transactions at purchasing points must be conducted in cash.

Director Liu offered the highest price for high-yield soybean seeds, 3.8 yuan per catty, and purchased a total of 7000 catties for a total of 26600 yuan.

The best rice seed was being purchased for 1.08 yuan per kilogram, but Fang Wei was only willing to sell the second-grade Nanguang No. rice seed. He also explained that the yield of the second-grade seed would be lower and that it could only be planted twice at most.

After discussion, they finally sold 0.58 jin of first-grade rice seeds to the purchasing point at a price of 5 yuan per jin, totaling 29000 yuan.

After reaching an agreement, Liu Cheng asked two staff members to go back and contact the transport vehicle and prepare the cash.

He stayed to chat with Fang Wei and also took a look at the rice fields.

Due to the thorough preparation, the acquisition point acted quickly and the two parties completed the transaction in the afternoon.

This is the most standardized trading behavior at present. Strictly speaking, exchanging rice for rice seeds is not very standardized and can be considered as skirting the rules.

Zheng Hu was in an indescribable state all day. He had just told Fang Wei about saving seeds that day, and as a result, 5 kilograms of first-grade rice seeds were sold.

And the purchasing point will come to your door to purchase.

After Fang Wei finished his work, he patted Zheng Hu on the shoulder and suggested that they have a drink together in the evening.

He returned home and asked Tian Guihua to help him fry two dishes and boil a few salted duck eggs. Then he waited for Zheng Hu to come in his room.

About ten minutes later, Zheng Hu brought a large pot of cooked snails and walked into the house with Deng Yuanen.

"Third brother, I can understand why the purchasing point wants to buy high-yield soybean seeds, but why do they want second-rate rice seeds? Putting everything else aside, each production team has plenty of second-rate and second-rate rice seeds."

After three rounds of drinks, Zheng Hu asked the questions in his mind.

"They're looking for stable and guaranteed quality. You have to understand that only the rice seeds we have are genuine. The ones others have are all derivative and inferior varieties. Do you think the people at the purchasing station are stupid?"

Fang Wei sneered. He and Team Two were well-known, and the purchasing station could find out the details of the matter with just a little inquiry.

Otherwise, why would Liu Cheng come to apologize? It probably has something to do with their mission.

Liu Cheng had said before that the rice seeds they purchased might not all be sold in this county, but might also be allocated to neighboring counties.

"So that's how it is, Third Brother, you still think too far ahead."

Zheng Hu suddenly understood everything. Humph, other communes thought that Team 2 was asking them to exchange rice seeds, but they didn't know that someone had already set their sights on [Nanguang No. 1].

This acquisition point’s proactive approach was just a test, and there will definitely be more cooperation in the future.

"It's not that they're thinking ahead, the county is just too smart. If you don't believe it, just wait and see. The promotion of [Nanguang No. 1] won't be very smooth."

Fang Wei stopped talking after that.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they dispersed. Fang Wei tidied up, took a shower, and went to bed.

There were some things he had to point out to Zheng Hu. The other party was the deputy captain, and he couldn't be completely in the dark.

the next day.

After getting up, Fang Wei went to the experimental field.

The sowing time of the mid-season rice in the experimental field is about a month earlier than that of the late rice in the field, and it has now entered the heading stage.

Especially the 6 acres of sterile plants, which grew quite vigorously, the plants were obviously thicker, and the yield was estimated to be considerable.

Each of the six varieties has its own strengths and weaknesses, but the specifics are unclear at this point. If the sterility persists, the sterile line will be considered a success. If not, the sterile line will be considered a failure, but a restorer line can be selected from it.

In short, pollination of sterile plants through different male parents is the key to the next step of screening.

He then went to the fields. After upgrading from the [Planting Area], the designated area now encompassed all of the production team's farmland. With the added bonus of these attributes, the rice in the fields was no different from the rice in the experimental fields.

This will be of great benefit to the cultivation of rice seeds. If the yield cannot keep up, breeding work can be carried out in full swing starting next year.

"Captain, come and take a look?"

Fang Wei was walking on the ridge of the field when Fang Yunying, who was herding ducks, came over and greeted him.

The ducklings have grown up, and 1000 ducks have reached the limit of [Poultry House No. 2], and it will take several people to take care of them.

"Yeah, I was just walking around and bumped into you. I don't have anything to do, just go ahead and do your thing."

After the two greeted each other, Fang Yunying continued to work.
