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

Chapter 110 Flowers bloom inside the wall and fragrance outside the wall
Fang Wei left Datian and went to the team headquarters.

Near noon, Xu Guangsheng came running over in a hurry.

"Captain Fang, you're so confused! Why did you sell all the rice seeds to the purchasing point? They have their own system, and I heard they sold the rice seeds to Lin County."

"Secretary Xu, this is not my fault. I prepared rice seeds and waited for the other production teams to come and exchange them, but no one came, and you still didn't let me sell them on my own."

Fang Weiyi looked innocent and said that he was forced by the situation.

It would be a bad idea to keep so many rice seeds in his hands. Since the policy encourages it, he has no choice but to sell the rice seeds to the purchasing point.

Everyone who comes here says the same thing, there's nothing wrong with it.

Xu Guangsheng was speechless. He knew all about the fact that some people from other communes had gone to the county to make trouble some time ago, and later refused to contact the second team to exchange seeds.

I rushed here today because I received a call from the county, but ended up being rejected.

"I know you've felt wronged, and some of the commune's actions are indeed inappropriate, but we must consider the overall situation. Let's not talk about this matter anymore. When the autumn harvest comes, you must save the rice seeds for me."

Xu Guangsheng was not in the mood to pursue the matter any further, but he could not ignore the task assigned by the county.

So he lightly put aside the current events and started talking about the autumn harvest.

"I understand, Secretary Xu. I will definitely keep the late rice seeds."

Fang Wei smiled and didn't continue to argue with the other party.

But he also left a small language trap. He only said that he would leave late rice seeds, but did not mention which kind of rice seeds they were.

The experimental field was conducting a three-season rice planting experiment, but the commune was not aware of it and he did not say anything.

In fact, things like selling seeds to purchasing points are not something that even the commune and the county can control.

The second team has completed the tasks of paying public grain and purchasing grain, and even sold more than the negotiated grain.

The three-level management system is based on teams, and each production team has independent accounting and is responsible for its own profits and losses.

As long as the mandatory tasks are completed, other matters can be decided by the production team.

However, Fang Wei has a good relationship with Xu Guangsheng, Tang Ze and others, so he has to give them some face.

noon.

Xu Guangsheng didn't bother anyone else and followed Fang Wei home for dinner.

Tian Guihua specially made a pot of "tribute rice", which surprised Xu Guangsheng. Does the second team have better rice seeds?
Fang Wei explained with a smile that this kind of rice was brought back by a relative from another place, and that he had only planted it for one season in his own private plot.

At the same time, the output of "tribute rice" was also mentioned.

When Xu Guangsheng heard that the yield of "tribute rice" was only more than 200 kilograms and less than 300 kilograms per mu, he immediately lost interest.

After the meal, Xu Guangsheng insisted on keeping the food coupons and money. Fang Ping couldn't persuade him, so he had to let him do as he pleased.

"Xiao Fang, rural work is difficult, and many production team leaders are rough and unsophisticated, with low ideological awareness.

I will report the situation regarding the rice seeds to the county leaders, so don't worry too much about it."

Before leaving, Xu Guangsheng took Fang Wei aside and talked about a few things from his heart.

There was no way, he needed to consider the overall situation, otherwise, because of the faces of some people, he would be too lazy to do Fang Wei's work.

a few days later.

Fang Wei and Fang Ping harvested the peanuts planted on the slope, and a total of 625 kilograms of peanuts were harvested, which means that the peanut yield per mu reached 625 kilograms.

This also means that the production of this type of peanuts has reached its limit.

According to the plan, soybeans will be planted on this acre of sloping land next season. We won't be planting glutinous rice this year, but we still have quite a bit left over. If we don't make rice wine, the consumption of glutinous rice won't be huge.

As time went by, the news that the second team sold a large amount of rice seeds to the purchasing station spread throughout the county.

Not many people were touched. Most people were just watching the fun and did not realize that there would be a disruption in the rice seed supply next year.

Tang Ze went to the provincial capital to study during this period. Communication is a big problem now. When he came back, some things were developing in a direction he could not have expected.

"Lin County has begun a large-scale trial planting of [Yaoling soybeans]?"

The high-yield soybeans produced by Fang Wei were well-received locally but not popular, and his brother's production team planted very small quantities.

As a result, the purchasing station purchased 7000 kilograms of soybean seeds and sold them all to Lin County, where people began to conduct concentrated trial planting.

It is said that the planting effect is very good and the planting area will be expanded in the next season.

Lin County has much better natural conditions than our county. The terrain is flatter and there is more arable land, so it is more suitable for side businesses.

"Yes, many communes in the county isolated Fang Wei because of the rice seed exchange price. Before that, no production team went to Fang Wei to exchange rice seeds.

Fang Wei then sold 5 kilograms of rice seeds and 7000 kilograms of soybean seeds to a purchasing station. The purchasing station, operating on its own, not only transferred the soybean seeds to Lin County, but also the Nanguang No. rice seeds.

A staff member told Tang Ze the whole story in detail.

After hearing this, Tang Ze couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. This is simply "flowers blooming inside the wall, but the fragrance is felt outside the wall". Are some people in the county pigs?
He started from the grassroots level and is well aware of some of the stubborn problems at the grassroots level.

However, he had been transferred to the county for less than a year, and many tasks had not been sorted out, and he was willing but unable to do the job.

He had no choice but to go find Xue Yumin.

"Are you having trouble at work? Don't worry. We must first find the rope that pulls the bull by the nose. Once we find the crux of the problem, the rest will be easy."

Xue Yumin was very calm. The development of anything is full of twists and turns, and the promotion of rice seeds is no exception.

How can we achieve this goal? We must ensure that all production teams voluntarily accept the technology. Once they have tasted the benefits, high-quality seeds will become popular.

All the commotion is just superficial. They have to experience the ups and downs of life themselves before they can make the right choice.

"Of course, as cadres, we can't just do nothing. We still need proper guidance. You've been a bit too eager for quick success lately. You should learn from Fang Wei in this regard. He's doing a great job."

Xue Yumin advised Tang Ze not to be too hasty and to wait and see.

Tang Ze was lost in thought, and then he realized that Fang Wei seemed to have a longer-term vision than he thought.

early morning.

Fang Wei took two hunting dogs up the mountain.

He was not going hunting, but to check the tea trees and chestnut trees in the deep mountains.

When passing by the loquat forest, he took a special look and was surprised to find that the loquats could be picked in a few days.

"The chestnut trees are bearing fruit well this year, and the tea trees are also doing well."

There are only a few laborers in the team, and it is unrealistic to pick all the loquats, tea seeds and chestnuts from the deep mountains and forests.

Organized picking activities can only involve picking tea seeds. The other two are left to the individual, that is, whoever picks them owns them. Collective action is not allowed.

The chestnut and tea oil seedlings that Fang Wei is cultivating in the [afforestation area] have shown initial success.

We can transplant the seeds next month and continue to cultivate the seedlings.

The growth cycle of trees is very long. In the process of gradually replacing the team's tea oil trees, grafting will be partially used.

There is no need to worry about the chestnut tree. With its attribute bonus, it is not a dream that it will bloom and bear fruit within three years.

The two hunting dogs were frolicking in the woods, each one stronger than the other. Fang Wei often trained them in his free time, and now they could basically understand some simple commands. Fang Wei walked around the three woodlands, carefully inspecting their growth and making plans for picking.

While there was still some time, he took his hunting dogs to the [hunting area].

First, he cleaned up the traps in the area. Since he hadn't been there for a while, most of the traps were damaged.

After the hunting dogs became familiar with the situation in the area, Fang Wei began to search carefully.

He planned to catch two rabbits and bring them back. He didn't have the conditions to do so before, but now that he had two hunting dogs, it should be much easier to catch rabbits.

The method is not complicated. It is to let the hunting dogs chase the rabbits, so that the desperate rabbits fall into the trap.

But this is a rare opportunity for Fang Wei's two hunting dogs to fight in actual combat.

He soon discovered traces of wild rabbits. Rabbits have a strong reproductive capacity and there are many of them in the mountains, so it is basically easy to find them.

The two hunting dogs surrounded the rabbit from the left and right directions, startling several hares from the grass.

The hunting dog chased the rabbit desperately and the rabbit ran for its life, and was caught in a trap before it was even noticed.

I was lucky today and caught 4 rabbits.

Fang Wei immediately dealt with the two rabbits, then collected the rabbit skins and threw the bones and meat to the two hunting dogs to eat.

He took the other two rabbits home.

"Third brother, what's the saying? A thief never leaves empty-handed. You can bring back something if you go out."

In the evening, Fang Wei walked into the main room and saw Fang Ping sitting on a stool smoking.

Seeing that his third brother had brought back two more rabbits, Fang Ping couldn't help but make a joke.

"That's not nice to say, but I get the point."

Fang Wei didn't mind. He found that his elder brother was more cheerful than before. At least he was not silent all day long.

Then he gave the two rabbits and the rabbit skins to his sister-in-law. Tian Guihua wanted the rabbit skins, saying that she wanted to make cotton shoes for her children.

"Brother, the loquats are about to ripen. Let's take a day to pick some and eat them."

The loquat forest, oil tea forest and chestnut forest are no secret in the team. Not only do many people know about them, but some have also been there.

Anyone can go picking, provided they have enough physical strength and the ability to deal with emergencies in the deep mountains and forests.

To be honest, if the team didn't organize collective picking, not many people would go.

"Sure, Taotao and Tingting love loquats, and your sister-in-law likes them too."

Fang Ping had no objection. Both brothers were very strong and had the ability to go deep into the mountains and forests.

As a result, on the day of departure, Fang Ping called a group of people from the breeding team.

A group of people went into the woods to pick loquats, and the round trip took a whole day.

Brothers Fang Ping and Fang Wei brought back more than 200 kilograms of food, which they definitely couldn't finish at home, so Fang Wei also gave some to the team cadres and two relatives.

Guan Chongyang naturally had a share as well. The old man was over 70 years old but still had very good teeth. He especially loved sweet and sour foods.

In addition, Fang Wei also gave some loquats to Jiang Yufen and Guo Yongqing respectively. Especially Guo Yongqing had helped him a lot, and he would not forget him.

"Lao San, can you help me get some more soybeans? I need 60 kilograms. I'll get them later."

Guo Yongqing met Fang Wei at home, and after some polite exchanges, he accepted the loquats.

Finally, he whispered a request.

"No problem, you can always come to my brother."

The Fang family has soybeans, so they can still produce 60 kilograms.

With the impact of the natural disasters of those years easing, the supply of supplies has slowed considerably this year. However, some prices have also begun to rise, with the official selling price of soybeans, for example, reaching 8 cents per jin (approximately 3g), and the price of indica rice rising to 1 cents per jin (approximately 2g).

黄豆在地下市场的交易价格在1块6到1块8之间，郭永清去方家拿黄豆的时候，是按照每斤1块6给的钱，他从不占价格上的便宜。

Fang Wei didn't take the money and asked Tian Guihua to keep it to supplement the family income.

this day.

Jiang Yufen came to the team to find Fang Wei, humming and hawing for a long time, saying that she wanted to buy some rice.

Private transactions of grain are prohibited, but buying a small amount between friends is not a big problem.

Guan Chongyang's family has more rice than they can eat, and they have accumulated 800 kilograms of rice in the past two years. A few days ago, he asked Fang Wei to help him sell it.

"Sister Yufen, can you take all 800 kilograms of rice?"

"Yes, I want them all. You'd better help me grind them into rice later, and then I'll take them."

"Okay, I'll send it to you when it's done."

Fang Wei took the opportunity to ask Deng Yuanen to bring the rice to the commune and deliver it to Jiang Yufen.

The money from selling rice was given to Guan Chongyang, who could use it to do anything.

As time passed, Fang Wei went into the mountain twice more.

One trip was to pick chestnuts with Zheng Hu and others, and another time the team organized people to pick tea seeds in the deep mountains.

After returning, I went to the team’s tea oil forest to pick tea oil seeds, and then gathered them together to extract oil.

[Picking loquats, points +260]

[Chestnut Picking, Points +300]

[Picking wild camellia seeds, points +8360]

[Picking and planting tea seeds, points +12800]

Total points: 82357.

On average, each person received 35 kilograms of tea oil.

Fang Wei and Fang Ping contributed the most, each receiving 60 kilograms, for a total of 120 kilograms. Tian Guihua received 35 kilograms, for a total of 40 kilograms for the two children.

All together, it’s 195 kilograms, which is enough cooking oil for a year, and you can’t even finish it.

The two brothers did not go to pick the fruits in advance, and the members were too tired to run after two days. Later, Fang Wei and Fang Ping went to finish the work.

This part of tea oil seeds is not counted in the collective. Theoretically, anyone can go, but unfortunately everyone can't run anymore. Who would care about the remaining tea oil seeds?

The Fang brothers picked another 600 kilograms of tea seeds, which belonged to them personally. The oil they squeezed out could be stored at home.

[Picking wild camellia seeds, points +600, total points: 82957 points.]

"Third brother, this season's rice should be ready for harvest, but I feel like it's not filling enough, which may affect the yield."

After the picking season, Zheng Hu found Fang Wei with great concern and expressed his opinion.

Fang Wei also noticed this situation and was about to tell the other party about it.
