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

Chapter 169 The Well-known Wealthy Team
Pan Lianhua also brought Xiaobao over, and the brothers and sisters took turns to give their blessings, and Xiaobao giggled non-stop.

Fang Wei accompanied his grandfather to drink a few glasses of wine. The brothers sat together drinking, but he and his grandfather were very quiet.

Nowadays, no one would seek unhappiness. Who can drink more than this guy? Challenging him to drink is simply self-torture.

"Third brother, once these young people come to join the team, the city will gradually stabilize. The village is also short of manpower now, I hope they can come sooner."

While drinking, the two chatted about recent developments. There was nothing else important, the only big thing was the upcoming up-to-the-countryside movement.

Grandpa has a positive attitude towards this matter, and he even hopes that it can be implemented sooner.

There is a lack of human resources in the mountains, otherwise food production could be increased significantly.

The terraced fields on the mountain are cultivated in rotation, with half the fields cultivated and the other half left fallow. This is partly because the soil fertility of the terraced fields is indeed lower, and partly because there is a shortage of manpower.

The strong laborers in the village have to plow the fields, hunt, raise pigs, chickens and ducks, and the sisters also have to make bamboo products. They are really too busy to handle it.

"Grandpa, you have to be mentally prepared. Many young people have never even touched a hoe at home. Not only will they not be able to help much when they first arrive, they might even cause more trouble."

"That's fine. Steel is forged through repeated tempering. After a few setbacks, most people will eventually become a good piece of steel."

Grandpa was particularly happy today, one reason being that Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua brought Xiaobao up the mountain for the first time, and the other was that the harvest was imminent.

Everyone was singing and dancing. Pan Lianhua couldn't help but stand up and sing a folk song. The melody was melodious and her voice was still as good as before.

The family finally got together on the mountain, so Fang Wei, Pan Lianhua and Xiaobao stayed for two more days and only set out on their return journey on the morning of the fourth day.

The next day.

Fang Wei gave away a pound of [Yuxiang No. 1] rice seeds and asked someone to take it to Chang Wenyuan.

He didn't know if it would work, but he could certainly try a pairing experiment.

To put it simply, the process of cultivating hybrid rice is a process of continuous screening, and everything must be tried.

He gave the remaining [Yuxiang No. 1] rice seeds to Fang Ping and stored them in the warehouse as experimental materials.

"Brother, let's go into the mountains to collect herbs tomorrow. If we're any later, we won't have time."

The autumn harvest is approaching, and Fang Wei plans to go into the mountains with Fang Ping to collect herbs.

There was definitely no problem with Fang Ping's side, but Pan Lianhua also insisted on going.

Xiaobao can now eat complementary foods, such as fruit puree, vegetable puree, rice soup, meat puree, etc., and can eat them in moderation.

What's more, we have lotus root powder at home, so the children will definitely not go hungry.

Fang Wei did not stop them, so the three of them went into the mountains early in the morning.

A few months later, many herbs in the mountains were ready to be picked.
This time they specifically collected wild Polygonatum, which has a high yield and can be sold at a good price.

"Brother, Lotus, let's set a standard and only pick Polygonatum that is above the standard. This way, it won't become extinct, and we can come back and pick it again next year."

Fang Ping and Pan Lianhua understood what Fang Wei said.

To put it bluntly, it is necessary to ensure sustainable development and not engage in extinction-level mining.

The three of them were experienced and worked quickly. By the afternoon, they had filled three backpacks. After eating some dry food and drinking some water, they headed home.

After weighing it at home, they found that they had brought back 260 kilograms of wild Polygonatum.

Only a small part was harvested today. We continued the next day and harvested 2000 kilograms of wild Polygonatum in a week.

[Pick wild Polygonatum, points +2000, total points: 745078 points.]

Next, Fang Wei prepared the Polygonatum odoratum and then took it to a purchasing station with his elder brother to sell it.

The total income was 2800 yuan, Fang Ping took 1000 yuan, and Fang Wei then gave 1800 yuan to Pan Lianhua and asked her to keep it.

There are some other medicinal herbs that can be harvested, but there is not enough time, so we can only wait until the slack season.

Team Two welcomed the busy autumn harvest. As usual, men, women, young and old all joined in the harvest, and even Taotao and Tingting were no exception.

The brigade primary school was on vacation, and Cai Xiaoping and Tie Yanling took the children to participate in collective labor.

Mr. Guan didn't have to participate in labor, but he couldn't stay idle at home, so he went to the team headquarters to help.

During these days of harvesting rice, the team prepared a big pot of meals, including three meals a day.

Zheng Xianfa and Chen Mazi led their work groups to various production teams. Zheng Xianfa was in charge of the Xiatang Brigade, and he had been running back and forth between the 12 production teams these days.

Because rice threshers are very practical, the team added four more rice threshers before the autumn harvest, further improving the harvesting efficiency.

In other words, a combine harvester is not available now, otherwise Fang Wei would save money to buy it.

Tools are an important part of human progress. If we have the ability, we should learn to use them.

The busy autumn harvest work is finally over, and the rice is stored in the barn after being threshed and dried.

The statistical data came out quickly. The total output of 400 mu of [Nanguang No. 44] rice seeds was 1100 jin, with an average yield of jin per mu.

50 mu of [Nanguang No. 71000] rice seeds, with a total yield of 1420 jin and an average yield of jin per mu.

[Harvest crops, points +440000]

[Harvest crops, points +71000]

Total points: 1256078.

[Please note that the hybrid rice currently named "Nanguang No. 1400" is about to reach its upper limit of production, with an upper limit of 1450 to kilograms per mu.]

The system prompted the upper limit of the yield of [Nanguang No. 1450], which is kilograms per mu, and should be reached in the next season.

By then, another new variety of hybrid rice will be available, which will overturn people's inherent understanding of rice yield per mu and greatly increase grain production.

This time, the test data of [Nanguang No. 3] was not released, and Fang Wei issued a gag order to the breeding team.

There is no need to release this achievement for the time being. [Nanguang-2] has not been fully promoted yet, so he is not in a hurry to launch new achievements.

Afterwards, Fang Wei reported to the commune in the name of the second team and prepared to start the rice seed exchange.

"Director Zheng, the [Nanguang No. 2] rice seeds we cultivated this season can fully supply all production teams in the commune.

In this way, our commune will become a true breeding base, and the members' income will definitely increase significantly."

After so many years of hard work, the second team is now able to fully supply rice seeds to the entire commune.

In the future, all production teams in the commune (except Team 1) will become suppliers of the second-grade rice seeds [Nan Guang No. 5]. Even if the exchange ratio is 200 to , the income of each production team converted into rice will be more than million jin.

Of course, everyone can only exchange for no more than 20% of the rice, and the rest must be settled in cash.

The income of the second team is twice that of other production teams. After all, they are the provider of standardized rice seeds. There is a very high technical threshold, so it is normal to have some premium.

Next, the commune took the lead and the brigades came to exchange the goods.

After discussing with the team leaders, Fang Wei decided to buy only 20 jin of new rice and sell the rest to the purchasing station. In addition, the team also sold 53 jin of rice in stock.

Of the 44 jin of [Nanguang No. 4] rice seeds, the team kept 40 jin and the remaining jin were all exchanged.

The second team earned 20 kilograms of rice and 43.3 yuan in cash.

Why else would Zheng Xianfa often say that the second team was incredibly wealthy? They could earn 700,000 to 800,000 yuan a year just from selling rice seeds, making them a truly wealthy team in that era.

There is nothing we can do even if others are jealous. This money belongs to the collective, not to individuals, so there is nothing wrong with it.

"Third brother, we've sold all the bamboo furniture we left at the furniture store in the city twice, earning a total of more than 120 yuan."

After the exchange work is completed, it means that the slack season for farming is about to begin.

Zheng Hu led a group of people to plant rapeseed. This did not require everyone to work together, because with the help of tractors, labor productivity was greatly improved.

Pan Lianhua and the others started fiddling with the bamboo furniture again.

"You guys are great! It seems like you're quite popular. Let's wait and see next year. If the conditions are right, our team will set up a bamboo factory specializing in producing furniture and bamboo products."

Fang Wei came up with this idea after returning from the mountain during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

He plans to set up a "bamboo factory" with the Yao village to produce bamboo furniture and bamboo products.

The Yao Village has advantages in raw materials and bamboo production technology, while the second team has advantages in bamboo furniture production technology and sales. The combination of the two is a powerful combination, which is quite good as a sideline business.

Then he told Pan Lianhua his thoughts.

"Third brother, you are really far-sighted. Thank you for thinking about the village. I think Grandpa and everyone else will be grateful to you."

Pan Lianhua was so moved when she heard this that tears welled up in her eyes.

In fact, this is a win-win situation, but she doesn't think so. She just thinks that her third brother is taking care of the village.

Fang Wei smiled and shook his head. If he couldn't explain it to the other party, he would simply give up.

The next day.

The second team is still a busy scene.

Zheng Hu led people to plant rapeseed, Luo Gong led people to build a new poultry house on the mountain, Yang Fan tutored two private teachers every day, while Wu Maosheng and Gao Qingshan continued to train agricultural and forestry talents for the team.

To be honest, the second team has not been greatly affected in this turbulent era.

Agricultural production has achieved continuous success and sideline businesses have made great progress.

The eight people assigned to the team each found their place in the team, using their strengths. Their lives were better than in the city; at least they had enough food and drink, and even had meat to eat.

As the leader of the second team, Fang Wei's plan is being implemented step by step.

After some days, Zheng Hu and others finished planting rapeseed and harvested the team's tobacco.

This year, I planted one crop of peanuts, one crop of soybeans, and one crop of flue-cured tobacco on 110 mu of dry, sloping land. In addition, I planted another 70 mu of private plots, one crop of soybeans, and one crop of glutinous rice, in addition to 80 mu of vegetable plots.

A total of 71500 kilograms of peanuts, 104500 kilograms of soybeans, 55000 kilograms of flue-cured tobacco, and 40000 kilograms of glutinous rice were harvested.

[Harvest crops, points +71500]

[Harvest crops, points +104500]

[Harvest crops, points +55000]

[Harvest crops, points +40000]

Total points: 1527078.

Peanuts and soybeans were cultivated as high-yield seeds. The team retained 11500 kilograms of peanuts and 24500 kilograms of soybeans, and distributed the remaining 60000 kilograms of peanut seeds and 80000 kilograms of soybean seeds to the members.

On average, each person received 200 kilograms of peanut seeds and 267 kilograms of soybean seeds, which, based on the purchase price, translates to 1588 yuan in cash.

[Yaoling soybeans] and high-yield peanut seeds are in short supply, and the purchasing stations are open to buy them. We are so happy that no one will make things difficult for us.

Of course, this is not an equal distribution, but is calculated based on work points. Some people get more and some get less, but the overall gap is not big.

At first, the members thought it was a year-end dividend, but later they heard that it was not a dividend, but a one-time compensation for the repossession of their private plots.

Now everyone felt more balanced, and everyone who saw Fang Wei would praise him.

The flue-cured tobacco sold for 13.75 yuan, thanks to the exceptional quality of the second team's tobacco, unmatched in the entire county. Only the Yao village could compare, but there was still a considerable gap.

Therefore, the county tobacco purchasing department did not set fixed targets for the second team and the Yao village. They could plant as much as they wanted, and they would buy it all. But there was one rule: the flue-cured tobacco produced by the two teams was not allowed to flow out, and if discovered, they would be severely punished.

Finally, it was glutinous rice. Each person received an average of 100 kilograms, and the remaining 1 kilograms were stored in the warehouse.

To be honest, only Team Two would dare to distribute it this way. After all, the income from rice seeds is there, and they don't care about the income from side jobs at all.

Fang Wei did this on purpose. Distributing too much dividend at the end of the year would easily arouse other people's jealousy. Distributing more materials would not be obvious and would easily be ignored.

As for whether the members sell or eat the high-yield seeds, it is none of his business, and he probably doesn't think anyone would be so stupid as to choose to eat them.

"Third brother, you are amazing!"

The resentment that had been accumulating in Fang Ping's heart also disappeared. Like his third brother, he could get the highest allocation.

After calculation, the family income has not decreased, but has increased this year.

Nowadays, an ordinary civil servant earns less than 1000 yuan a year. What does he have to complain about?
It is obvious that Fang Wei is leading the second team to the path of common prosperity. Although according to the principle of more work, more pay, there are still some gaps in everyone's income.

But the gap is not big and will not cause anyone's dissatisfaction.

The team holds a members' meeting to evaluate work points, and everyone sees how much each person has worked and how much they have contributed.

Therefore, the work points are evaluated fairly. For example, if you do Tian Guihua and Pan Lianhua, you can get an average score at most, but you still cannot get full work points.

Fang Wei is a special existence. The allocation he can get is super, but not much more than everyone else.

"Huzi, make a plan later. What agricultural machinery and implements do you need to purchase? I'll sign and you can go get them."

When the team makes money, the first thing they should think about is expanding production, and purchasing some new agricultural machinery and tools is only natural.

In addition, he also had to buy diesel, ammonia, cement, red bricks, coal, etc., and he never hesitated to spend the money he had to spend.

"Okay, Third Brother. By the way, I've already made an agreement with the person you asked me to contact to exchange for regular peanuts and soybeans. They'll be coming to your door with some in a few days."

Zheng Hu is busy all day long and is equivalent to the steward of the second team.

The team will use the remaining peanut and soybean seeds, except for those kept for their own use, to exchange for ordinary peanuts and soybeans from others.

The exchange ratio is still 1 to 10, and Captain Yang and others are very happy to make the transaction.
