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

Section Chief Jia took a look and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

If there were any valuables in it, he really couldn't accept it. Nowadays, everyone pays more attention to this, so as to avoid any setbacks one day.

But it’s okay if they’re just some local specialties, it’s just a matter of reciprocity.

"Captain Fang, the herbs you want are all rare and valuable. To get wholesale prices, you need the Dean's approval. I've approached the Dean several times for your matter, and I finally lived up to your trust and got it done."

Chief Jia only confessed at this moment, not because Fang Wei gave him some local specialties, but because he wanted to do him a favor.

The purchasing department obtained rare medicinal herbs twice, and the dean praised Chief Jia and the purchasing department at the meeting. This year, the hospital is going to allocate housing, and Chief Jia has been waiting for a long time. He hopes Fang Wei can deliver the goods on time.

So he played a little trick, but it was harmless.

"Chief Jia, thank you so much this time. If you have any questions in the future, just let me know. I will definitely do my best."

Fang Wei saw clearly that he had been a salesperson in his previous life, so how could he not understand this trick? However, he pretended not to know and kept thanking the other party.

Chief Jia decided to quit while he was ahead and took Fang Wei to the hospital to collect the necessary medicinal materials.

When checking out, I paid 3052 yuan, which was the price after the discount.

"Captain Fang, take care. I hope you'll be more careful with the herbs we need. If you have any other herbs, I'll have my buyers buy them."

Chief Jia was a good person and did things well. He sent Fang Wei out the door before mentioning his own affairs.

In order to mobilize the other party's enthusiasm, he even promised to purchase a large amount of common herbs. It doesn't matter who you buy them from, it's better to establish a better relationship with Fang Wei.

"Thank you, Chief Jia. I'm leaving now. I'll call you when I have gathered all the herbs you need."

Fang Wei said goodbye to the other party with a smile, and then returned home.

The first thing I did after getting home was to invite Taoist Sun over to take a look.

"They are all good herbs! You have the rest here. I will make medicine for them now."

Taoist Sun started to boil the medicine at Fang Wei's house. After the medicine was ready, Fang Wei went to call Old Man Guan over and watched him and his grandfather drink the medicine.

From then on, they had to drink this bowl of Chinese medicine every day. Taoist Sun was responsible for decocting the medicine for them. He was not at ease if others did it, fearing that they would not be able to control the heat well.

This time the medicine is enough for one month. After taking it, you need to stop for a few months and then see how the situation develops.

"Third brother, thank you for your hard work."

When sleeping at night, Pan Lianhua looked at the man lovingly and thanked him for his hard work.

Fang Wei smiled and touched the other person's head without saying anything. He felt that these were things he should do. Grandpa and the old man were very kind to him, and he didn't think that everything he did was a favor to anyone.

After the Waking of Insects.

A light drizzle began to fall from the sky and continued for more than a week.

But the weather was not a reason to stop everyone from going to the fields to work. The entire Xiatang Brigade got busy and started turning the soil.

Fang Wei didn't care about the details of production. This year, the team had a team leader, so he simply became a hands-off boss.

His job is to inspect and patrol, in other words, to find problems and then ask people to correct them.

Now even Zhao Jinsheng and Zhang Chu are afraid of him.

After inspecting the entire brigade, he was actually quite satisfied. Then he went to the Yao village and continued to find faults, pointing out areas where things were not done well and asking everyone to make corrections.

With his attitude, Zheng Hu and Wang Songlin dared not be careless anymore. They all raised their standards.

"Brother Songlin."

"Third brother, just call me by my name."

With this going on, Wang Songlin didn't even dare to respond when he called him "Brother".

Fang Wei didn't bother to pay attention to him and continued to explain the subsequent work arrangements on the spot.

The next step is seedling cultivation and transplanting, which goes without saying, but he also explained some technical points of hybrid rice breeding and the difficulties in cultivating sterile lines.

If anyone has any questions, they can ask immediately and he will answer them patiently.

But if problems arise later, he will not be polite.

"Do you understand everything? If you don't understand, you can ask. I'm willing to explain it several times."

"I understand! Third brother, don't worry, we won't make any mistakes."

Everyone said that it was okay, and Fang Wei then went down the mountain and left the Yao village.

Now he had to take care of the overall work of both the Xiatang Brigade and the Yao Village. He was too busy to do everything in his power, so he had to rely on everyone's strength to do his job well. Therefore, he had to be strict with himself; relying on his previous prestige was not enough.

A few days passed quickly.

Spring sowing work has begun.

According to the production plan, each production team of Xiatang Brigade started sowing and raising seedlings step by step, and then transplanted the rice seedlings.

The Yao village has also become busy. Fang Wei's 10 mu of "official land", that is, the paddy field controlled by the headman, will be planted with [YX-032] rice seeds this season.

After all, the Yao village has been growing this kind of rice and has its own sales channels.

The rice variety cultivated in the village before had a yield of more than 700 kilograms per mu, and the first team of Xiatang Brigade reached a yield of 803 kilograms per mu.

Now Fang Wei has designated all the fields in Yao Village. In the future, there will be bonuses to various attributes, and the output will be further improved.

Fang Wei specifically instructed Wang Songlin that the output from these 10 acres of land must wait until he is on site before it can be harvested.

He does not intend to announce the output, as the output is completely under his control anyway.

Wang Songlin said he'd remembered it and would definitely do as Fang Wei said. He knew the new leader was very capable and guessed he was planning some experiment he didn't want anyone to know about.

Fen Fangwei then went to see the soybeans planted in the village and felt that the output this year would be greatly increased.

Since the village started using the Yaoling Soybean seeds provided by the Second Team, the output has been steadily increasing in recent years.

"Songlin, I see that the soybean cultivation has reached a point where high-yield seeds have basically been finalized. The price of finalized seeds is much higher, so it should bring good returns."

The Yao village is mainly composed of terraced fields, including 790 acres of paddy fields and 1360 acres of dry fields.

Among them, 100 mu of dry land is planted with vegetables and 60 mu of sweet potatoes, and the remaining 1200 mu of dry land is planted with soybeans.

The total population of the village is not large, with more than 600 men, women, young and old, making it a medium-to-large Yao village.

In theory, the land is very fertile, but don't forget that the village is on the mountain, and the yield of terraced fields has never been high. It is only because high-yield rice seeds have been planted in recent years that there is enough food to eat.

Now according to Fang Wei's plan, the village will specialize in breeding work in the future, including the cultivation of hybrid rice materials.

In addition, breeding will also cover economic crops and greatly improve the quality of Yao village flue-cured tobacco.

As for the breeding industry, it is not worth mentioning. It is not for making money, but to ensure the supply of meat, eggs and poultry for everyone.

Fang Wei stayed in the village for two days and then went down the mountain.

Back home, I talked with Grandpa about the spring planting in the Yao village. Grandpa was very pleased after hearing what he said. He thought back to when he led the village through difficult conditions and had to rely on hunting to make up for the lack of food.

How much rice could one acre of land produce at that time? At most, about 100 kilograms. Even that number dropped during a disaster.

Therefore, he felt that breeding work was a sacred cause, which could not only bring rich profits to the village, but also benefit tens of millions of families.

This was the fundamental reason why he tried so hard to push Fang Wei to the position of leader.

"Third brother, it's all thanks to you. In order to treat my illness and prescribe medicine, you have to go deep into the mountains to collect herbs to make money, alas!"

Grandpa stopped talking here. There was nothing he could do. This was the current environment.

"It's a small matter! Lotus and I are in good health and have weapons to protect ourselves, so going into the mountains a few more times won't be a big deal. Grandpa, don't think too much about it."

Fang Wei really didn't feel that anyone owed him anything.

These days, a large number of heroic role models who endure hardships first and enjoy the fruits of their labor later have emerged in all walks of life. Compared with them, I am still a little behind.

He never thought that he could change this era. Individual power is insignificant and he can only adapt to this era.

the next day.

Fang Wei went to the commune and talked to Zheng Xianfa.

"Are you planning to set up a nursery in the team?"

Zheng Xianfa was very surprised. He knew that the government agencies and some large enterprises in the city all had their own nurseries and schools for children of employees.

But this is a rural area. Even a wealthy brigade like Xiatang Brigade can take on how much social responsibility?

The brigade now has a clinic and a primary school. If we add a nursery, the burden will be considerable. "Yes! Rural children lack education from a young age and have a narrow perspective. This is unacceptable. It was okay before when the brigade didn't have the capacity, but now that we have the capacity, we can't just turn a blind eye to some problems."

Fang Wei was very determined. He had communicated with Zheng Hu and others in advance, and everyone supported his idea.

Early childhood education and preschool education are actually very important.

"Okay then. The key to this matter lies with you. If you think it's okay, then it's fine."

Zheng Xianfa stopped trying to stop him and turned around to discuss with Huang Zhigang and others. He made a decision directly and agreed to set up a nursery in Xiatang Brigade.

The function of a nursery is to provide both childcare and care, based on the principle of voluntariness.

It is not free. Some material and food fees will be charged appropriately. Other fees will be borne by the brigade.

After Fang Wei returned, he began to choose a location and finally decided on Team 1.

He took some time to visit Shen Yu with some mountain products, and then said:
"Auntie, the brigade is planning to build a nursery, but we don't have the talent. I want you to be the de facto director of the nursery, but without a public title."

"There's no problem on my end, I'm just afraid of causing you trouble."

Shen Yu was still happy about it. She had worked in the county's No. 1 Middle School before, and she still liked teaching and educating people in her heart.

She also knows something about early childhood education, so she is not completely ignorant.

"It won't be any trouble. I just can't give you a title, but you'll still be responsible for the specific work. The salary is comparable to that of an elementary school or a clinic, so you won't suffer any loss."

Fang Wei smiled and waved his hand, giving Shen Yu some peace of mind.

Shen Yu naturally had no reason to agree, so he happily accepted the new task.

"The nursery staff can be selected from among the educated youth. Those who can't read or write are not suitable. In addition, there must be a health care teacher who can deal with any emergencies of the children in a timely manner."

She then made some suggestions, which Fang Wei wrote down one by one.

three days later.

The construction of the nursery in Xiatang Brigade has started, and the team has also hired a special construction team to avoid delaying the subsequent rice planting work.

Zheng Hu assigned some laborers to help. There was still some time before the rice planting, so he could send them back when things got busy.

Time flies.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day to plant rice seedlings.

Due to the popularization of agricultural machinery, the team no longer needs so many people to plant rice seedlings. In addition, with the implementation of a rotation work plan, everything was done in just one week.

Afterwards, Zheng Hu devoted more than half of his labor to afforestation, and the breeding industry also developed vigorously.

The number of laying hens and broiler chickens has always remained at a high level, and several other poultry houses raising ducks have also begun to gradually increase the number of ducklings in preparation for the upcoming release of ducks.

Twelve composting sites continuously produce high-quality and efficient farmyard manure, laying a solid foundation for agricultural production.

this day.

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua went into the mountains to collect herbs early in the morning. The inventory at Chenzhou Chinese Medicine Hospital was running low, and they needed to replenish some goods to sell to the other party.

The mountain in the primeval forest is really too big. Various herbs grow in the mountain streams and jungles in huge quantities, but it is very troublesome to pick them.

Because the harvest is not concentrated, we have to wade through water and mountains, and the efficiency of picking is getting lower and lower.

“Third brother, I now think it was the right decision for you to start transplanting some rare herbs.

It's a pity those herbs aren't old enough, otherwise we wouldn't have to travel so far, and our picking efficiency would be greatly improved."

The two walked further and further away, resulting in a continuous decrease in picking efficiency.

Now, it usually takes until midnight to get back, and the herbs I pick are getting fewer and fewer.

Pan Lianhua was a little convinced. Now she finally understood why the man kept transplanting various rare herbs to the mountains and forests closer to the village.

Now, several places where herbs are concentrated and can be reached within half a day's journey have almost become a grand garden of herbs, with almost all kinds of rare herbs.

Fang Wei didn't care whether someone would pick the fruits and take them away. Since ancient times, there has been only one road to Huashan. If you want to reach that area quickly, you must enter the mountain from behind the village.

It would take several days to get into the mountains from other places, so it would be better to try your luck in the primeval forest from another direction.

"Our hard work has its benefits. Even though we've collected a lot of herbs from near and far, by next year at the latest, the herbs in these areas will be growing again."

Fang Wei smiled, pulled Pan Lianhua and sat down to rest.

He had already designated a patch of forest with a large number of rare medicinal herbs. As long as the herbs were not very particular about the age, they could be picked in the second half of the year.

Now we go further, on the one hand to allow the areas where we have picked herbs to recuperate, and on the other hand to find more varieties of herbs.

To put it bluntly, he and Pan Lianhua are both "children of the mountains". Compared to doing other things, they prefer to hang out in the mountains and forests.

Hunting and picking, sleeping on the ground under the tent when you are tired, drinking mountain spring water when you are thirsty, making a bamboo tube meal or barbecue when you are hungry, the whole person will feel particularly relaxed and happy.

Unfortunately, this is an ideal state.

at night.

The two men returned home with their hunting dogs, having had a good harvest today.

Half a month later, Fang Wei had prepared a batch of herbs, enough to last the hospital two or three months. The buyer took the rare herbs away and paid 3625 yuan in cash.

Fang Wei finally had some free time and would visit the team from time to time, basically becoming a hands-off boss.

Pan Lianhua is not as comfortable as him. The factory recently received a large order, and she has to take charge of it herself, and she is busy every day.

In a hurry, the team's nursery was completed and began to enroll children aged 2 to 8.

Most of the caregivers and teachers were selected from the educated youth, and there were also some young members who had received education.

Tian Guihua felt a little bored, so she went to the nursery to work as a chef, responsible for cooking for the children.

Since the nursery charges low fees, many people still send their children there.

It certainly wasn't perfect at the beginning, and all sorts of small problems kept popping up. However, Shen Yu was very capable, and through continuous improvement, the nursery continued to improve.

It is better for children to play games and learn knowledge than to pee and play in the mud at home.

Without the burden of children at home, some people went to the bamboo product factory to "earn extra money", and most of the factory's backlog of orders was soon completed.

"Third brother, you're still acting like nothing's happened. The higher-ups have issued a notice, and the region has formed an inspection team to inspect our pilot project."

morning.

Zheng Hu hurried to Fang Wei's house and saw him sitting on a recliner, drinking tea happily.

Some time ago, when Fang Wei went up the mountain, he picked more than ten kilograms of tea from several ancient tea trees he had discovered before, and then roasted them and turned them into his food.

"Why are you panicking? The sky isn't falling. The inspection team is coming, so be it. Don't you know what we've accomplished from last year to this year?"

Fang Wei glared at the other person, then stood up and poured a bowl of tea for Zheng Hu.

Zheng Hu really didn't dare to talk back. Even though he was already the captain, he was even more timid than before.

"Hey, we don't have the confidence when you're not in the team."

Zheng Hu laughed dryly twice, then picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

After taking a sip, I found that there was not much left. The taste of this tea is completely different from the local bitter tea.

It has a refreshing fragrance and a long aftertaste.

"Third brother, where did you get that good tea? It's delicious, really delicious!"

"I found a few ancient tea trees on the mountain and picked some tea leaves a few days ago to try. I was surprised to find that they tasted quite good.

I also collected some branches from ancient tea trees and gave them to the forestry team to cultivate to see if they could produce better varieties of tea trees.”

Hearing the other party praising the tea at home, Fang Wei couldn't help but smile.

He has long been accustomed to inspection teams and investigation teams. As long as he does his job well, what is there to worry about?

He didn't want to be promoted, and his positions as team leader and team secretary were over, so why bother with so much.

"When the inspection team arrives, you and other team leaders should give them a good reception. Talk about what you have to say, without exaggeration or denigration. Seek truth from facts.

I'll show up later, and I'll take care of the rest, you hear me?"

Zheng Hu's face suddenly fell when he heard this. (End of this chapter)
