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

Chapter 126 Big Gift Package, Regional Merger
"Third brother, isn't this too much?"

"I'm not asking you to spend it all at once. Use it slowly at home and save the rest first."

Fang Wei actually has many ways to make money, but some of them are currently risky.

He was a man who sought stability. In those days, most supplies had to be supplied with tickets, and his family actually did not have that much need for money.

Nowadays, the average monthly salary of an ordinary worker is only about 30 yuan, so he is already considered a rich man.

After coming to this world for so many years, he has deeply understood a truth: those who are content are always happy, while those who are greedy will suffer.

He didn't care at all about his clothes and even made two decent sets of clothes when he got married.

I don’t spend much money on a daily basis. The only thing that makes me different from others is that I like to eat.

Tian Guihua still can't bear to eat eggs often, but he doesn't. Instead of selling them for money, he would rather eat them well and ensure that he has a good body.

Pan Lianhua happily collected the money. As for how much she gave to her eldest brother, she did not ask at all. She believed that her man would handle these matters.

Fang Ping then handed over the 1000 yuan in his hand to Tian Guihua. Tian Guihua held the bills in her hand and couldn't help but shed tears.

“This is all thanks to my younger brother who takes care of us.”

"Just remember it in your heart. We are one family and should keep our differences separate."

There are brothers and sisters in the village who get along well with each other, while there are also brothers and sisters who get along badly and become enemies. Fang Ping feels deeply moved.

But he doesn't like to show his emotions and prefers to keep everything in his heart.

"Got it. I'll buy you and Taotao a new pair of shoes later. I don't know what's wrong with your feet. You always have holes in the front of your shoes."

Tian Guihua was not a sentimental person. She wiped away her tears and talked about other things.

A few more days passed.

Fang Weicai harvested the "Nanguang No. 1" rice planted in one of his private plots.

The rice variety planted here is the [Nan Guang No. 400] first generation (second-level) rice variety. According to the final statistics, the yield per mu is less than kilograms, and it tastes rough and unpalatable.

This is the most obvious trait separation of the second-level hybrid rice variety.

"We can now conclude that the [Nanguang No. 2] hybrid rice is not suitable for seed preservation and can only be grown for one generation."

Fang Wei announced the preliminary conclusion within the breeding team.

This conclusion is not about yield, but about seeds. [Nanguang No. 2] Hybrid rice cannot be saved and can only be planted using specially bred seeds.

This is actually very similar to Fang Wei's situation in his previous life. At that time, agricultural production basically required purchasing seeds from outside, and in most cases, seeds could not be saved.

Because this is the profit source of large seed companies, it is controlled at the genetic level.

The reason why the hybrid rice [Nan Guang No. 2] cannot be saved is not due to human factors, but is due to the characteristic of hybrid rice itself that it is easy to produce trait separation after multiple inheritance.

Next, Fang Wei said hello to the team, and then spent most of his time at home every day writing an experience analysis on "Hybrid Rice Breeding".

The existing data can support large-scale pilot promotion and will continue to be supplemented in the future.

This manuscript is not an academic paper, but it has important guiding significance for agricultural practice.

"How about I try to help you publish it?"

The farmland water conservancy construction plan submitted by Tangze was approved by the special zone.

He had been conducting field visits these days, and when he arrived at Team 2, he saw the manuscript at Fang Wei's home.

After reading it, he was amazed and wanted to use his connections to help Fang Wei publish it.

"Forget it. I'm just summarizing my previous experience, and it's very immature. I'll have to wait until at least the fourth or fifth draft."

Fang Wei shook his head, he didn't need these false reputations.

Tang Ze felt a little regretful, but he didn't mean to force the other party.

Later, Pan Lianhua prepared lunch and Tang Ze sat down to eat next to Fang Wei.

"Comrade Fang Wei, tell me the truth. If you leave Team Two's territory, you really can't carry out breeding research?"

Tang Ze had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but he didn't ask it to the person's face until today.

"Yes, that's the situation."

"Then you have to cultivate [Nanguang No. 58] and [Nongken ] hybrid rice varieties, and you also have to cultivate [Nanguang No. ] hybrid rice varieties. The team's fields are definitely not enough."

"I'll figure this out and report to the leadership once I have a plan."

"What a pity! I was planning to feed you commercial grain, but you seem reluctant to leave your homeland. How can I arrange that?"

"Thank you for your concern, leader! However, it would be better for me to stay in the production team."

This was the first time that Tang Ze proposed to solve the problem of Fang Wei's rural-to-urban household registration and his status as a state cadre.

But the other party seemed uninterested and refused without even considering it.

Originally, this matter encountered great obstacles in the county, but Qinghe County wanted to poach people, which gave Fang Wei an opportunity.

But Fang Wei also didn't accept it, so Tang Ze stopped talking.

"Comrade Fang Wei, the county is very supportive of your research work and is preparing to allocate two more tractors and sufficient fuel coupons to your production team.

Also, next spring, I'll get you some ammonia from the special zone. I hope you can keep up the good work and complete the finalization of your hybrid rice."

Sweet words are not convincing. We have to give some benefits to show that the county really supports us.

Tang Ze then showed his sincerity by offering two tractors, enough oil coupons and a large amount of ammonia.

This made Fang Wei very happy and he expressed his gratitude immediately.

"Okay, get busy. This meal is yours. I'll treat you next time we go to the county. There's one more thing you should pay attention to. The county is planning to build a large reservoir, and every unit and production team will need to contribute personnel."

Tang Ze left after saying a few words. Fang Wei couldn't help but sigh. No wonder the county was so generous. They were probably worried that withdrawing some of the labor force would affect the breeding work.

Of course, he was still very grateful to Tang Ze from the bottom of his heart.

Rapeseed has been planted in the fields and will not be harvested until next year, so everyone has been relatively free for some time.

[Pig Farm] There was good news again. The sow gave birth successfully, and the team now had 40 more piglets.

There were originally 55 pigs left in the team, and with these piglets, there are a total of 95 pigs.

Uncle Wu plans to eliminate all four sows and select four new sows for breeding before the end of the year.

Fang Wei decided to slaughter two pigs so that everyone could have some meat.

[Pigs are produced, points +486, total points: 374658 points.]

[Pig farm] There are 93 pigs left.

According to Fang Wei's plan, starting from next year, it would be best to slaughter two pigs a month, and the supply of pork would also be increased during festivals and the New Year.

Now the annual pig production task is no problem, and selling it for money is secondary. The key is to improve the living standards of the members.

The year was about to end, and in the following days, Fang Wei and the old accountant reviewed the main accounts together.

He had neglected some of the accounts before, mainly because he had his wedding this year and was very busy.

It’s not too late to summarize now.

This year, the team harvested 16000 kilograms of tea seeds, including 6300 kilograms of wild tea seeds.

In fact, during the picking season, many people go to the mountains to pick chestnuts and loquats, but these are not put into the public account and belong to the personal income of the members.

The Fang family didn't take care of it this time, so Zheng Hu and others sent some chestnuts and loquats to their home.

[Harvesting Camellia Seeds, Points +16000, Total Points: 390658.]

"There are too many points. I have to upgrade." Fang Wei decided to upgrade the [Afforestation Area] to level 10 first to see if there will be any surprises.

He didn't know if reaching level 10 for the areas and facilities meant they were at the maximum level, so he wanted to give it a try first.

The reason for choosing [Afforestation Area] is that the forest area requires a larger area.

After spending 10 points, he upgraded the level of the [Afforestation Area] to level 10.

[Temporary land] → [Forest land] → [Afforestation area]

【Regional area: 200 million square meters (3000 mu)】

[Area Level: (Level 10, 0\500000)]

[Regional attributes: fast growth, disease resistance, high yield rate, high fruiting rate, high survival rate, and optimized tree quality]

[In this area, all attributes of seedling cultivation, transplanting, cuttings, and grafting will be increased by an additional 50%]

Total points: 290658.

[When the area/facility level reaches level 10, you can select a related area/facility to merge.]

Merging regions will retain the sum of the two regions' areas, and the region attributes will be completely superimposed.

[When merging areas and facilities, the level will retain the lowest level of the two.]

After the level of [Afforestation Area] was upgraded to level 10, there was indeed a surprise. The merger of areas and facilities can be regarded as a reward.

In other words, level 10 is not the maximum level, there are higher levels behind it.

While regional/facility consolidation may seem insignificant at first glance, the benefits it brings cannot be ignored.

Fang Wei savored it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

After repeated consideration, he upgraded the level of the [Picking Area] to level 10.

[Temporary Land] → [Forest Land] → [Picking Area]

【Regional area: 200 million square meters (3000 mu)】

[Area Level: (Level 10, 0\500000)]

[Regional attributes: Identification, Exploration, Speed, Strength, Picking Skills]

[Picking within this area will increase all attributes by an additional 50%]

Total points: 190658.

At this time, the levels of the [Afforestation Area] and [Picking Area] are both level 10. If they can be merged, the level after the merger will also be level 10.

"Begin merging!"

Fang Wei chose to merge the [Afforestation Area] and the [Picking Area]. The light curtain unfolded and soon the results came out.

[The relevance assessment between the forestry and harvesting areas has been passed and they can continue to be merged.]

Merger complete.

[Temporary Land] → [Forest Land] → [Silvicultural and Harvesting Area]

【Regional area: 400 million square meters (6000 mu)】

[Area Level: (Level 10, 0\500000)]

[Regional attributes: Identification, Exploration, Acceleration, Strength, High Resistance, High Quality.]

[Forest cultivation and harvesting in this area will increase all attributes by an additional 50%]

Total points: 190658.

A warm current washed over Fang Wei's entire body, as if reshaping him physically and mentally, making him feel stronger and happier than ever before.

Of course, this was merely a reflection of his overall physical fitness, skills, and experience reaching a certain level. He was still the same, an ordinary farmer, only slightly stronger (twice as strong) than the average person.

Fang Wei saw that the regional attributes of the [Forestry and Picking Area] after the merger were simpler, but more imaginative.

There is another advantage. The upgrade points remain unchanged after the merger, so if you continue to upgrade, you can save half of the points.

The area has doubled in size, and how it is arranged depends entirely on Fang Wei's wishes, so that it can be used more efficiently.

"That's great. The previous area divisions were too rigid, resulting in a lot of waste. Now that the [Planting Area] and [Hunting Area] are both level 9, I wonder if they can be merged?"

[Hunting Area] was of great significance to Fang Wei at first, but as the team developed, there was no shortage of food and the supply of meat was steadily increasing, so its significance has now diminished.

So, he wanted to try to merge the two.

[The correlation assessment between the planting area and the hunting area has failed and cannot be merged.]

【The merger is terminated.】

Well, it turns out that this combination is not related and there is no way to merge it.

So he got up and went to the previous [afforestation area]. Although the weather was getting colder, the mountains still looked lush green.

With his proactive adjustments, the afforestation area on the back mountain and the oil tea forest and tea forest in the team were completely connected.

This is very good, and it will be more convenient to improve the team’s tea oil trees in the future.

Merging areas is equivalent to superimposing the attributes of the previous two areas. For example, if you carry out cuttings in the oil tea forest in the team, it will also be blessed with the attributes of acceleration, high resistance, and high variety.

This was not possible in the previous picking areas.

In addition, the new area also covers the "wild chestnut forest", "wild tea oil forest" and "wild loquat forest" far away in the mountains.

These three areas are not connected, but their future growth and results will be blessed by attributes, which is worth looking forward to.

back home.

Pan Lianhua has prepared lunch.

"Girl, won't it be boring to stay at home all the time?"

While eating, Fang Wei asked with a smile.

During the slack season, Pan Lianhua didn't go to work much, so he stayed at home most of the time. Fang Wei was busy most of the time because he had a lot of things to do.

This is the difference between the two.

"Yes, I get bored sometimes, but I can handle it."

Pan Lianhua was happy to see Fang Wei, but sometimes she would feel bored when she was alone at home.

It was unlike when she was in the Yao village, when she felt bored she would take her hunting dog and gun and go to the mountains to relax.

"Tomorrow you will accompany me into the mountains. I will visit a few places."

"Okay, okay, let's cook and eat in the mountains tomorrow at noon. Hmm, let me think about it, maybe we should make bamboo rice."

Fang Wei planned to visit some wild forests, and Pan Lianhua was bored staying at home, so he asked him to go with him.

This made the girl very happy, and she worked extra hard when she slept at night.

The next day.

The couple got up early, had breakfast, and then took their hunting dogs, each carrying a gun, and walked into the mountains.

Fang Wei’s main focus today is to inspect the wild tea oil forest, because tea oil is more important to him.

This wild oil tea forest is still relatively "young" and is in its most vigorous growth period. It will surely bring him greater surprises in the future.
