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

Chapter 157: Training in the mountains, reading seeds

"Captain, this is the infirmary's expense account. So far, the profit and loss are basically even, but the subsidies for the two doctors have not yet been settled."

After Accountant Liu finished his work on the dividend distribution, he took some time to check the medical office's accounts.

The infirmary is not for profit. Medicines and consumables are sold at a fair price. The treatment fee is symbolic, and we are happy if we can basically break even.

However, Zhao Baocheng and Wang Guizhi did work very hard, often running between various production teams and being on call at any time.

Fang Wei planned to give them a subsidy of 5 yuan per month. It wasn't much, only 120 yuan per year for the two of them, but he had no source of income.

"There are 12 production teams in the brigade, and this money will be shared equally by everyone. Accountant Liu, go around and collect the money from every household, and then distribute it to them."

The amount of money distributed to each production team was very small, only 10 yuan.

But this is a rule that was established before. If you don’t follow it seriously at the beginning, it will cause trouble in the future.

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Accountant Liu then went to collect the debt, while Fang Wei, Zheng Hu and Zhao Jinsheng visited the team.

On the one hand, we want to understand the living conditions of the members, and on the other hand, we want to find out if anyone has any difficulties in life.

The entire second team is a big family, and the team leaders must be aware of these situations.

The next step was to formulate a production plan for the new year. Fang Wei asked Zheng Hu and the others to discuss it first and come up with a plan.

You can't do everything by yourself, you also need to give them opportunities to practice.

A few days later, the higher-ups gave their opinions on how to deal with what happened at the last meeting in the commune.

Chen Mazi was given a severe warning and ordered to publicly criticize himself at a commune meeting. The few people who rushed to the stage were all sent to a study class for six months.

In addition, Zheng Xianfa and Fang Wei were criticized not only because of this incident, but also because all the previous incidents were brought together and dealt with.

"Fuck, is there any justice in this world? I don't accept it."

Zheng Hu felt that this approach was a complete compromise, with both sides being given a slap on the wrist.

Fang Wei thought more. He felt that Tang Ze could no longer control the situation, otherwise he would not have done this.

Fortunately, the situation was not completely out of control, and the criticism in the notice was actually not very harmful to him.

"If you're not convinced, just hold it in. I'll settle the score with Chen Mazi and his gang later."

Fang Wei made a note in his little notebook that it was not the time to settle accounts with them yet, but there would be a chance later.

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a gunshot in the distance.

"what happened?"

Fang Wei and Zheng Hu quickly ran out of the office, and then a member reported to them that wild boars had come down from the mountain and were destroying the rapeseed fields, and the patrolling militia opened fire.

"The wild boar is so arrogant, and it's not even dark yet."

The two of them hurried to the scene to check, and saw Zheng Bao standing there scolding someone.

The patrolman's reaction was not slow, but his shooting skills were a bit poor. He missed the wild boar and let it run away.

"Brother Bao, just run away. Tell them to pay more attention these days. Come here for a moment. I have something to discuss with you."

Fang Wei stepped forward to rescue the situation, and the militiaman quickly left the scene.

He then told the Zheng brothers about his plan and took advantage of this opportunity to go into the mountains to encircle and hunt wild boars, as if it were a real combat exercise.

Zheng Bao thought this was a good idea. Daily training wasn't useless; it still lacked some substance. If they could conduct actual combat drills, everyone's mentality would at least improve significantly.

"Captain, I'll make a drill plan right away, and we'll set off tomorrow."

We must have a plan when going into the mountains to hunt wild boars, otherwise if we rush in in a disorderly manner, something bad might happen.

Zheng Bao has experience in this area, so just leave it to him.

When he returned home in the evening, Fang Wei saw that there was a guest at home, Sister Wang Zhuyun from the village.

"Sister, how come you have time to go down the mountain today?"

"Grandpa asked me to bring two chickens for Sister Lianhua and some bacon for you."

Wang Zhuyun had always taken good care of Pan Lianhua in the village. They had a good relationship, and she also wanted to come and see him.

The two chatted for a while, Fang Wei went to kill a chicken, and Wang Zhuyun went into the kitchen to start cooking.

"Tomorrow I'm going into the mountains with the militia to hunt wild boars. Sister, don't rush back. Spend more time with Lotus."

While eating, Fang Wei talked about tomorrow's arrangements.

Wang Zhuyun had originally planned to stay for a few more days, and nodded repeatedly when she heard this.

"Alas, it's inconvenient for me to do anything now. If it were in the past, I would definitely go into the mountains with you."

Pan Lianhua felt a little regretful, but she just said that and quickly put the matter behind her.

The two women started chatting immediately. When they talked about the changes in the village, they both couldn't help laughing happily.

The village had a bumper harvest every year, and the sales of second-grade rice seeds alone brought in a tidy profit. Grandpa also had the village introduce the second-team's pig breed, which greatly improved the quality of the pigs and increased their output.

Together with the village's side businesses such as mountain products and bamboo products, everyone lives a prosperous life.

All of this is closely related to Fang Wei. As the son-in-law, he is now a famous figure in the village, and people often speak well of him behind his back.

Drink the water and remember its source. Everyone in the village is grateful to him.

After dinner, Wang Zhuyun and Pan Lianhua cleaned up the mess and went into the house to continue chatting.

Fang Wei went to sit with his eldest brother for a while and was surprised to see his nephew Fang Tao. Today was not the weekend, so he didn't know why he came back so suddenly.

"Manman, the school closed early, and we didn't even have the final exams."

Fang Tao was very unhappy and explained to Fang Wei why he suddenly returned home.

Fang Wei was also speechless, but this was not something he could decide, so he had to comfort his nephew with a few words.

"Taotao, learning is a long-term process. You can't just learn knowledge in class. You have textbooks, and you should study and do exercises every day. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. I can also give you lectures when I have time."

My nephew loves to study and he ranks among the top in all subjects in school.

Fang Wei planned to take some time to tutor the other party. To be honest, he had a vague memory of a lot of junior high school knowledge, so he would have to pick up the textbook and take a look later.

"Okay, thank you very much."

A smile appeared on Fang Tao's face. The other party was indeed a bookworm.

night.

Ajie and Pan Lianhua slept in the same room, and they seemed to have endless things to talk about. Fang Wei simply took the initiative to go to the guest room to sleep.

The next day, before dawn, Zheng Bao came knocking on the door. Fang Wei and he discussed the action plan, then they had breakfast and began to assemble the team.

Fang Ping also went to this exercise, and just as planned, the militia was divided into three groups.

Fang Wei led Group One, Fang Ping led Group Two, and Zheng Bao led Group Three. With Zheng Hu in command, they headed into the mountains. Two hunting dogs served as scouts, galloping through the forest, searching for signs of wild boar.

"Report! Three hares spotted ahead."

"Don't shoot, try to catch them."

In addition to carrying weapons, the militiamen also brought hunting tools when they went into the mountains.

With so many people, catching a few rabbits is completely easy, there is no need to use guns at all.

After getting the three rabbits, Fang Wei had someone throw them to the three groups behind, and he led his men to continue searching forward.

Near noon, the militia spotted three wild boars, and the forest erupted in gunfire. With the powerful firepower, the wild boars had nowhere to escape and were hunted down.

"The third team will be responsible for carrying the prey back. The others will follow me."

Fang Wei and the others went around in a circle and actually came to the vicinity of the valley.

Since everyone was hungry, he decided to make a fire in the valley and cook.

Fang Wei hadn't been here for a long time. The valley had changed completely, and the one acre of land that had been reclaimed had long since disappeared without a trace.

The pool of water is still there, with more water than before, and it seems to be larger in area.

The militia from Groups 1 and 2 met up and started cooking. Since it was a drill, they had brought everything they needed, even a camping pot, which could be used to cook not only rice but also vegetables.

Fang Ping looked at the vast expanse of flat land in the valley and felt it was a pity.

After dinner, he wandered around the valley. The acre of land that had been cultivated before was now covered with bushes, completely covering up all traces of the original cultivation.

"Assemble! Let's continue the operation."

After eating and resting for half an hour, everyone walked out of the valley and headed deep into the mountains.

In the afternoon, the three groups who had gone to deliver the prey came back, and before dark they finally found a gathering place of wild boars.

Led by Fang Wei, Fang Ping and Zheng Bao, the three teams successfully wiped out the herd of wild boars, and then returned to the village in the dark.

In the evening battle, the militiamen hunted 7 wild boars. Together with the three sent back earlier, they harvested 10 wild boars, 17 rabbits and 5 pheasants for the whole day.

The results of this field rehearsal were very good, and it seems we will have to do it more often in the future.

the next day.

Three large pots were set up in front of the team office and they began to stew wild boar meat.

Wild boar meat is relatively old and needs to be stewed for a long time. It is added with various spices and the aroma floats in the air.

Fang Wei and Zheng Hu presided over the meat distribution in the threshing ground. In addition to the meat used for today's big pot meal, each member could also get several kilograms of wild boar meat.

There is no need to distinguish between wild boars and pheasants, and the people who go out this time can consume them on their own.

The Fang brothers shared a pheasant and a wild rabbit, and asked Fang Ping to take them back, preparing to eat them together with the two families in the evening.

Wang Zhuyun happened to be there for the big pot lunch and joined in the fun.

"I didn't expect your second team still retains the tradition of eating from the same pot. It's actually quite good; it's lively and strengthens unity. However, only a 'rich team' like yours can do this."

Wang Zhuyun was deeply impressed by the big pot meal. She planned to suggest it to her grandfather after she returned home and try it during festivals.

Over the next two days, everyone continued to go into the mountains to hunt wild boars.

Fang Wei did not continue to participate in the drill, but let Zheng Hu, Zheng Bao and Fang Ping lead the team, while he stayed in the team to take charge.

The harvest was much less afterwards. We only hunted three wild boars in two days, and this winter exercise came to an end.

While Wang Zhuyun was still at home with Pan Lianhua, Fang Weiyi went to the mountains alone with a gun on his back.

After the [Forestry and Picking Area] was upgraded to Level 11, the area was as large as 3 acres, and he had a new plan in mind.

The team's economic forests and nursery areas actually do not require such a large area. Even if a few wild forests deep in the mountains are added, it is still far from enough.

Based on the principle of never wasting anything, Fang Wei plans to find some valuable forest land and incorporate them into the [Forestry and Picking Area] to increase efficiency.

First, he needs to find woodlands where high-value herbs are concentrated, and then quickly obtain these Chinese herbs by adjusting their attribute values.

The clinic is currently short of many medicines and needs to use a large number of Chinese herbal medicines instead, many of which can be found in the mountains. However, due to the different growth habits of various herbs, their distribution is also very scattered.

Fang Wei traveled through mountains and rivers, made many marks along the way, and returned home before dark.

"Son-in-law, are you looking for some special herbs? Tell me and I can ask the people in the village to help find them."

While eating, Fang Wei, Pan Lianhua and Wang Zhuyun talked about their discoveries in the mountains today.

Wang Zhuyun heard him talking about herbs and asked kindly.

"I'm not specifically looking for any particular herb, but I'll mark any species that grow in larger quantities so I can easily pick them later. If they're in small quantities, they're not worth looking at unless I need them urgently."

Fang Wei expressed his thoughts, and Wang Zhuyun nodded, saying that he would talk to everyone about it after returning and write down any such situations.

the next day.

Fang Wei continued to wander in the mountains. Maybe he was lucky today, he found a large area of wild Polygonatum.

This work lasted for a week. Except for the interior of the primeval forest, he basically had a detailed understanding of the situation in the surrounding mountains.

In addition to herbs, Fang Wei also discovered some precious trees, such as fir, nanmu, and yew, and if conditions permit, he can try to cultivate them.

At night, Fang Wei lit a kerosene lamp, drew a sketch and began to make plans.

It was impossible for him to designate all the mountains and forests as temporary areas, so he naturally had to make some choices.

According to his plan, some valuable herbs will first be cultivated in their place of origin, and then slowly transplanted or planted in the team's mountains and forests.

Economic forests, under-forest planting, etc. can form a new economic belt.

"Third brother, why don't you go to bed? It's best to write during the day. Writing at night with a light hurts your eyes."

Fang Wei was so focused on making plans that he didn't even notice Pan Lianhua coming in.

Wang Zhuyun had already left. Pan Lianhua had already fallen asleep, but for some reason she got up again.

"One more thing. I'll go to bed after I finish writing. Why are you up again? Didn't you sleep well?"

"Yeah, I couldn't fall asleep lying down, so I got up to check on you."

"Then you sit down for a while, I'll be right there."

Fang Wei quickly finished the work at hand, and then pulled the other party to rest together.

The next day.

He made temporary designations in the mountains according to the plan, and the area included many perennial high-value herbs and some precious trees.

From now on, these herbs and trees will have added attributes, which may bring him great surprises.
