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

Chapter 119: Making Conditions, Poaching
"Are you addicted to eating from the big pot? Wait, I'll treat you to a drink when I get married. The superiors require frugality in weddings, so let's have a big pot meal together."

It is a bit unrealistic to hold a wedding banquet for the whole village. How can there be enough supplies these days?
But it is still possible to drink two bowls of sweet potato wine and eat a big pot meal.

Fang Wei immediately made a wish to Zheng Hu.

Zheng Hu chuckled and really took this matter to heart.

Life in the team was better now, and these young men didn't have to worry about not being able to find wives. In fact, several families were waiting for Fang Wei to get married so that they could propose marriage for their own sons.

It used to be called a matchmaker, but this profession no longer exists, but introducing people to each other is still very common.

Free love has conditions. There are only so many people in the production team. It’s impossible for the village to produce and sell everything itself, right?
Now that the second team is well-known, people who want to introduce young people to potential partners are everywhere. Fang Wei worries about this and that all day long, but he never worries about this matter.

night.

Fang Wei lay down to rest early.

It had been a long time since the settlement was made, and he was a bit bored, so he did it.

[Stable output of water wells, steady flow of water, daily harvest points 20 points]

[Current settlement to the last day of the previous year, points +7200 points]

[Produces chicken and duck eggs, points +240]

[Produce high-efficiency fertilizer, points +120000]

Total points: 276917.

Fang Wei is no longer concerned about settlement. Unlike before when he would settle accounts once in a while, the intervals now are very long.

It doesn't matter. As long as there is no settlement, the points will always be there and will not disappear.

He has plenty of points, so he can upgrade as much as he wants.

First up was [Poultry House No. 2]. The ducklings in the house were hatching, and it would soon be duck-free season. [Poultry House No. 2] was currently only level 7, so he spent 6 points to upgrade it to level 9.

After that, I couldn't stop and kept upgrading my levels one after another.

[Temporary facilities] → [Production facilities] → [Poultry house No. 2]

【Facility Level: (Level 9, 0\100000)】

[Facility attributes: disease prevention, strengthening, accelerated growth, increased egg production, nesting]

[Raising chickens in this building will increase all attributes by an additional 45%]

[Total points: 216917]

[Temporary facilities] → [Production facilities] → [Pig farm]

【Facility Level: (Level 9, 0\100000)】

[Facility attributes: disease prevention, strengthening, fattening, accelerated growth, digestion and absorption, breeding techniques]

[Raising pigs in this building will increase all attributes by an additional 45%]

Total points: 156917

[Temporary facilities] → [Production facilities] → [Composting site]

【Facility Level: (Level 9, 0\10000)】

【Facility attributes: disinfection and sterilization, comprehensive fermentation, enhanced efficacy, easy absorption, improved quality】

[Composting in this building increases all attributes by an additional 45%]

Total points: 96917

[Facility] → [Water Conservancy Facilities] → [Well]

【Facility Level: (Level 9, 0\100000)】

[Facility attributes: sufficient water source, artesian well, high water quality, water volume control, well-drilling skills]

[This well is activated, all attributes increase by an additional 90%]

[Total points: 31917]

Finally, there was only one [Poultry House] and one [Well No. 2] that had not been upgraded, and all other areas and facilities were upgraded to level 9.

Fang Wei suddenly felt relieved. The level of facilities and areas would be upgraded, and their effects would gradually become apparent in the future. This was the capital he needed to survive in this world, so naturally, the higher the level, the better.

The next day.

He got up early, practiced some health-preserving exercises for a while, and then went to fetch water.

Carrying water and chopping wood are both indispensable. He also thought about bringing well water, but because the problems with the pipeline and the water pump were difficult to solve, he eventually gave up.

As for the fuel issue, given that everyone's income is very low, we can use some honeycomb coal for heating in winter, but if we use coal for cooking, we cannot afford it for the time being.

After finishing the work, I came to the private plot and found my eldest brother already busy there.

The family's original private plot had long been planted with various vegetables, including one mu of sweet potatoes.

Another acre of sloping land is planted with peanuts. Soybeans will be planted in the next season, and peanuts will be planted again in the season after that.

"Third brother, I've finished watering. Go do your thing. You're not needed here."

Fang Ping was indeed a good hand at farm work, and Fang Wei couldn't help much. After waiting for a while, the two went back together to have breakfast.

After dinner, the two of them went out. Fang Ping went to the experimental field, while Fang Wei went to the team headquarters.

The subsequent field management is also very important. It is impossible for everyone to lie at home all day and rely on the weather for food.

Around noon, Zheng Bao led three strangers into the team headquarters and said, "Captain, they said they're looking for you."

"Hello, Captain Fang! We are from the Qinghe County Agricultural Bureau. My last name is Chang, and my name is Chang Wenyuan. These two are my colleagues."

The visitor immediately confirmed the other party's identity through the conversation between Zheng Bao and Fang Wei.

He stepped forward, shook hands with Fang Wei, and then introduced them.

Qinghe County is adjacent to this county. Fang only has the impression that the purchasing station sold several batches of seeds to them before.

"Hello, hello, everyone, please take a seat."

Fang Wei asked a few people to sit down, and Fang Wenshu went to make tea and brought it over.

Chang Wenyuan took two sips of tea and said:

"We're here mainly to exchange and cooperate with you on seed breeding. The [Nanguang No. 58], [Nongken ], and [Yaoling Soybean] you've developed are of very high quality. I admire them very much."

"You're welcome! Normal communication and cooperation is fine, but the question is, should this matter be approved by the county and the commune?"

Fang Wei couldn't figure out the other party's purpose of coming to him. Communication and cooperation were just high-sounding rhetoric, and details were the key.

"Well, that's how it should be. However, your county seems reluctant to have any contact with you, so we came here directly today. The specific exchange and cooperation is not complicated. We just want you to come to our place and give a report."

Chang Wenyuan did not make any excessive demands, but just said that he wanted to invite Fang Wei to Qinghe County to exchange experiences in breeding work.

Activities like this are purely for communication purposes. Fang Wei is not a state official, so he still has some freedom.

However, he would not believe the other party's lies. The other party's purpose could not be so simple.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Chang, I'm very busy lately. How about we wait until the summer harvest and planting are finished?"

"That's fine, that's fine. Captain Fang, it's almost noon now, how about we go to the commune and have a meal together?"

Chang Wenyuan did not pester Fang Wei, but instead changed the subject and invited him to the commune for dinner.

There is a restaurant in the commune, but to be honest, there is nothing good to eat.

"Comrade Chang, everyone who comes here is a guest. Should we ask you to treat us? Come on, come back with me. We will just make two dishes at home and have a casual meal, and try the homemade sweet potato wine." We planted some sweet potatoes last year and brewed five jars of wine by the end of the year.

Anyway, we drink it at home and don't sell it to other people. We can't finish it at all. It will come in handy when we get married.

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

Chang Wenyuan was a little hesitant, as this was somewhat inconsistent with his plan.

"Stop that and go!"

Fang Wei didn't give the other party a chance to refuse, and pulled Chang Wenyuan towards the Fang family.

Zheng Bao tactfully called the other two people and went to Fang Ping's side together.

"Sister-in-law, there are guests coming at noon, please make a few more dishes."

Fang Wei entered the house and greeted Tian Guihua first, then asked Zheng Bao to call someone to help.

It is a common practice for team leaders to receive guests, and a set of standard procedures has long been formed.

He then made some tea, took out some peanuts and placed them on the table, and continued chatting with Chang Wenyuan.

"Third brother, I heard you have guests here, so I brought you a fish and some snails."

Zheng Hu was not in the team headquarters just now, but he soon learned that someone from Lin County came to look for Fang Wei.

He took a few people to get some fish and snails, and brought them over to Fang Wei as two additional dishes.

Fang Wei didn't hesitate and sent it directly into the kitchen.

After lunch was ready, Zheng Bao and Zheng Hu said goodbye and left. It wasn't because they were embarrassed to eat for free, but they were worried that it would affect Fang Wei's conversation with the guests.

When they are around, some things may be difficult for people to say.

The people who came to help left, so the Fang family accompanied Chang Wenyuan and the other two to eat and drink.

"Captain Fang, I'm here for another matter. The county attaches great importance to your breeding work and has clearly expressed its willingness to help you transfer your agricultural household registration to a non-agricultural household registration and arrange a job for you at the Agricultural Bureau."

After three rounds of drinks, Chang Wenyuan's true colors were finally revealed.

He did not mention the issue of rice seeds. It was not realistic for Qinghe County to buy seeds from the second team across regions. The best way was to operate through the purchasing station.

But buying seeds is nothing compared to getting Fang Wei.

Thanks to the inventors of the rice seeds [Nan Guang No. 58] and [Nongken ], the problem was solved at the source.

The conditions offered by Qinghe County are to resolve the issue of agricultural-to-non-agricultural household registration, resolve the status of state cadres, and arrange for work in the Qinghe County Agricultural Bureau.

The other party was so sincere that even Fang Ping and Tian Guihua, who were accompanying them, were moved.

"Comrade Chang, I'm getting married this summer, and I can't leave my hometown, so I can't promise you this. But no matter what, I have to thank your county for your consideration, and thank you all for coming so far."

Fang Wei refused without a second thought, then clinked glasses with a few guests.

He also knew that eating commercial grain was a good thing, at least it wouldn't be so hard.

However, the foundation of his golden finger is built on the land under his feet. If he leaves here, it will be difficult to have such good development conditions again.

As the captain of the second team, Fang Wei has established absolute authority. If he leaves here, he will have to start all over again, and the basis for doing whatever he wants will no longer exist.

Without these cornerstones, can he go further?

"Hey! Captain Fang, don't be so quick to refuse. If you have other conditions, you can also propose them. The county will seriously consider them. Of course, this kind of thing requires mutual consent. If you really don't want to, then we can still find an opportunity to cooperate."

Chang Wenyuan could see that the other party had made up his mind.

However, he was also a man who had seen many storms, so he did not say anything final, but left a lot of room.

Fang Wei still doesn't know that the other party is not a small cadre in the Agricultural Bureau, but a deputy director.

"Okay! Within the scope permitted by policy, I am very happy to cooperate with Comrade Chang."

Fang Wei didn't say anything final. Overall, the meal was delicious and both the host and the guests enjoyed it very much.

Before leaving, Chang Wenyuan left behind a pack of Qingzhou cigarettes, a pack of Changsha cigarettes and bottles of white wine.

Changsha cigarettes are Class A cigarettes, priced at 6.04 yuan per carton. Qingzhou cigarettes are Class B cigarettes, priced at 2.80 yuan per carton. Bottled wine is priced at 2.39 yuan per bottle. The total price of these items is over 10 yuan.

Fang Wei didn't want it, but the other person just put down the things and left, not giving her any chance to refuse.

"Third brother, take it. I think it might be these people who forced us to sell rice seeds last time."

Fang Ping saw things clearly and spoke lucidly.

Fang Wei couldn't help but laugh out loud. Anyway, he didn't suffer any loss in that incident, so there was nothing to complain about.

In fact, he had a good impression of Chang Wenyuan. This guy was interesting.

After Chang Wenyuan returned, he sent an official letter to Tang Ze through Qinghe County, formally inviting the breeding team of the second team of Xiatang Brigade of Yaoling Commune to Qinghe for breeding technology exchanges.

This was a formal procedure, and Tang Ze considered it and did not stop it.

After he agreed, the invitation letter was forwarded to the commune, and Xu Guangsheng did not stop it. It was then directly forwarded to Zheng Xianfa,

"Little scholar, what are you singing about?"

Zheng Xianfa personally went to the second team and had a private chat with Fang Wei.

Fang Wei did not hide anything and told him the details of her meeting with Chang Wenyuan that day, even telling him that they wanted to help her transfer her household registration from rural to non-rural and arrange a job for her at the Qinghe County Agricultural Bureau.

There was no way he was going anyway, so there was no harm in speaking out.

"You're such a blockhead! You're not going to take this great opportunity? I've worked so hard for so many years, and I'm not even a state official, and you're still cocky?"

Zheng Xianfa was furious when he heard this and started to curse.

Fang Wei smiled but said nothing. He didn't need to explain to anyone. If he wanted to go, he would go. If he didn't want to go, he wouldn't go. There was no point in explaining anything.

"This is an invitation letter from Qinghe County. It's up to you whether you want to go or not. If you want to go, go to the commune and get a letter of introduction. If you don't want to go, just refuse."

Zheng Xianfa was so disappointed with his friend that he threw down the official letter and left.

In fact, rationally speaking, he didn't want Fang Wei to leave. Fang Wei was the face of the brigade and the commune, and if he left, there would be no one else who could take his place.

He was thinking about Fang Wei. The county had already suffered a loss to him, and now an opportunity fell from the sky, but he gave it up.

I really don't know what he is thinking.

night.

Fang Ping asked his third brother, "So, will you accept the invitation or not?"

"Go for a visit, it's a chance to broaden your horizons."

Fang Wei still decided to go. It was just an exchange, nothing to be afraid of.

So he selected two key members from the breeding team, and the three of them took a bus from the county to Qinghe County.

Qinghe County has superior natural conditions. The terrain is relatively flat, the Qinghe River runs across the entire county, and agricultural production is relatively developed.

After more than three hours' drive, Fang Wei and others arrived in Qinghe County.

They went to the Agricultural Bureau with the letter of introduction, and Chang Wenyuan came out to greet them soon.

"Captain Fang, welcome! Xiao Zhang, take them to find accommodations first and let them rest for a while. I'll come over after get off work."

Chang Wenyuan first asked someone to take Fang Wei and the others to the county guesthouse and arranged a single room and a double room for them.
