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

Chapter 224: Fighting for a spot, [Nongyou 58]

"I want 200 ducks, 200 chickens, and 200 kilograms of eggs."

Guo Yongqing didn't want much, so Fang Wei also gave him a note and asked him to go to Zheng Hu to pay and get the things.

Manager Liu and Wang Liang also came to buy chickens, ducks and eggs. The quantity Manager Liu wanted was similar to that of Guo Yongqing, but Wang Liang wanted much more.

Fang Wei didn't ask any more questions and directly wrote a note to the two of them.

蒋玉芬、郭永清和刘经理他们总共买了500只鸡、500只鸭还有500斤鸡蛋，王亮一个人要了1000只鸡、1000只鸭以及2000斤鸡蛋。

After sending them away, people from the coal mine and the cement factory came again.

The two units took away a total of 100 pigs, 2000 chickens, 2000 ducks and 2000 kilograms of eggs.

The team sold a total of 3500 chickens, 3500 ducks, 4500 kilograms of eggs and 100 pigs in one morning, and was busy until noon.

After lunch, the team began to distribute chickens, ducks and eggs. This time, the distribution was not based on coefficients, but on the number of people. Each person received one chicken, one duck and five kilograms of eggs.

This in turn distributed 2000 chickens, 2000 ducks and 1 kilograms of eggs.

[Produces piglets, points +31200]

[Produce broiler chickens, points +22000]

[Produces Mallard, points +25200]

[Produce eggs, points +14500]

Total points: 4294840.

There are 1689 pigs left on the farm.

The brigade received 5.36 yuan in cash and also maintained relationships with these units and individuals.

night.

Fang Wei and Fang Ping's families celebrated the festival together. Sun Daoren and Guan Chongyang did not come. The two of them had dinner with Wu Maosheng, Gao Qingshan and others, and it was also very lively.

Grandpa drank a little wine and couldn't help but think of everything in the village. As people get older, they become nostalgic. His roots are in the Yao village, and he really wants to go back and live there for a while.

Fang Wei noticed Grandpa's expression, so he reached out and gently pulled the lotus flower.

Pan Lianhua understood immediately and said with a smile, "Grandpa, do you miss the village? After we finish the autumn harvest, I'll ask my third brother to take you back to stay for a while, okay?"

"it is good!"

Grandpa suddenly smiled and his mood improved.

After the holiday.

Fang Wei was invited to the county breeding base, and accompanied by Wang Liang, he checked the growth of the [YX-032] rice seeds.

Judging from his experience, the [YX-032] rice seeds cultivated at the base must have been successful, and the preliminary estimate is that the yield per mu should be around 800 kilograms.

Ten thousand mu of fertile land can produce about 800 million kilograms of rice seeds, which can theoretically provide rice seeds for 160 million mu of paddy fields.

What does this mean? As of now, the total cultivated land area in Xinlin County is less than one million mu, approximately 100 mu. And the rice planting area is only about 85 mu.

The county breeding base can probably provide high-yield rice seeds for two to three county-level areas, while the entire Xiangling area has less than 10 counties.

In other words, if the breeding base continues to work hard, it will probably be able to provide [YX-032] rice seeds to the entire region, bringing the region's grain production to a new level.

"Secretary Fang, we should thank you. The hybrid rice breeding materials you asked Yao Village to provide us are the key to the base's ability to cultivate high-quality varieties. What do you think of our rice seeds?"

Wang Liang never put on airs in front of Fang Wei, nor did he dare to do so.

The halo above Representative Fang Wei's head is so dazzling. Not to mention him, even Wu Yaoyang has to be polite to him, right?

"Director Wang, you're so polite! I just checked and think the rice seed cultivation is very successful. I estimate the yield is about right. Harvest will be soon. Fertilizing the rice seeds in the later stages is very important, so just be a little careful."

Fang Wei had nothing much to say, everything he needed to say was in the [Hybrid Rice Breeding Technology Manual].

He knew very well that they didn't call him over to be their technical advisor, but probably to get closer to them.

noon.

Wang Liang arranged a meal in the cafeteria, which included four dishes and one soup, including chicken, duck, fish and meat. The two also drank some wine.

Before leaving, the other party stuffed him with two bottles of wine and two packs of cigarettes.

Fang Wei did not refuse. This was the extent of the current social interaction, and he would not give anything valuable as a gift.

"[Qinghe No. 1] has met its match. I hope they can develop better rice seeds soon."

[Qinghe No. 032] rice seeds still have many shortcomings. Whether it is various resistances, yield or taste, they are not as good as [YX-] rice seeds.

But Qinghe County has taken a solid step. Facing strong competitive pressure, I believe they will continue to study hard, otherwise they will be gradually eliminated in the competition.

This is what Fang Wei hopes for. Only with competition can there be motivation to strive for progress.

Back at the team, Fang Wei opened a pack of cigarettes and distributed them to the team leaders. Most of the team leaders were heavy smokers, with only him and the women's director not smoking.

"Third brother, these are high-end cigarettes with filters, thank you!"

Zheng Hu smiled and put two packs of cigarettes into his pocket, then opened another box, took out a cigarette and lit it.

"How are the preparations for the autumn harvest going?"

Fang Wei felt a little choked. Although the doors and windows were open, he could not help but passively inhale some "second-hand smoke".

There is no way around this. Working with a group of unconscious old smokers, I can only pretend to be confused.

"Everything is ready. There will be no delays."

Zheng Hu made a promise immediately, and Fang Wei said no more.

He immediately got up and left the office. When he passed by his eldest brother's house, he happened to see Tian Guihua, so he gave her half a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of wine and asked her to take them back.

He always had to keep some cigarettes and alcohol. He always carried two packs of cigarettes and bottles of wine with him to entertain guests.

When I got home, my sister had already prepared dinner, and Pan Lianhua and Xiaobao were playing with the hunting dog in the yard.

"Third brother, the factory received a large order for one million pairs of bamboo chopsticks."

Pan Lianhua still insists on going to work, but her time is relatively free and no one says anything to her.

But she was still very happy that the factory received a large order, and she told Fang Wei as soon as she saw him.

"That's a lot! Who brought in the order?"

"Who else could it be? Yu Hao."

This order was thanks to Yu Hao. He negotiated with the provincial daily necessities company for several months and the other party finally signed the order.

Fang Wei couldn't help but laugh and said, "This kid is good! I'm going to wash my face. It's time to eat soon. Xiaobao, go wash your hands with Daddy. You have to pay attention to hygiene, okay?"

He took his son to wash his face and hands, and then the family sat together and started eating.

Just after finishing the meal and before the table was cleared, Zheng Xianfa suddenly walked in from outside.

"Director Zheng, you are a rare guest. Come and sit down."

Fang Wei quickly stood up and asked the other party to sit down and talk.

He was still very puzzled. Since the other party moved to the commune, Zheng Xianfa almost never came to the village at this time.

Is there something urgent?

"It's nothing urgent, I just have something I want to discuss with you."

Zheng Xianfa took out his pipe while speaking.

Fang Wei quickly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to the other party.

"You are the leader, you speak, I listen."

Fang Wei smiled and waved his hand, then pretended to listen attentively.

The family knew that the two were going to discuss something, so after clearing the table, they all went into the inner room.

"The county has allocated a recruitment quota to the No. 1 Machinery Factory in the provincial capital, and they specifically said it was for Jiang Xia from Team 2.

Deputy Director Qi from the county asked me to discuss with you whether we can persuade Jiang Xia to give up this position."

Zheng Xianfa's eyes wandered as he spoke these words, clearly aware that he was in the wrong. But he had to come. Fang Wei could ignore Deputy Director Qi, but he couldn't. He didn't have the confidence or the strength.

Therefore, he couldn't refuse directly, so it all depended on Fang Wei's attitude.

"Is Deputy Director Qi overreaching? I remember this isn't the first time something like this has happened. Does he think our brigade is easier to bully, or does he think Yaoling Commune is easier to bully?"

Fang Wei noticed the change in Zheng Xianfa, but he had no intention of blaming him.

It's human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm, and he understands that, but that doesn't mean he agrees with it. So, in recent years, he and Zheng Xianfa have actually become much more distant, and their relationship is generally acceptable.

But some things happened again and again, and even the best-tempered person would be irritated.

He knew full well that Wu Di had personally requested this job offer for Jiang Xia, and had also informed the county authorities. Some people, unable to act within the county, had instead turned their attention to the Xiatang Brigade, hoping to get them to intervene and subdue Jiang Xia.

The bastard is very good at calculating, which makes people feel disgusted.

"I'm discussing this with you, little scholar. Leaders have their own difficulties. Can't you be understanding?"

"No! Let him go wherever he wants! I'm making this clear today. No one can snatch this job quota away from me."

Fang Wei didn't give Qi any face at all and spoke very rudely.

"Forget it, I can't handle this matter. I will reply to Deputy Director Qi as you said."

Zheng Xianfa didn't care and immediately stood up to say goodbye.

"I'll give it to you."

Fang Wei also stood up and walked Zheng Xianfa out of the village.

Zheng Xianfa leaned against his bicycle, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and lit it.

"Don't send me off, go back now. Little scholar, don't be angry with me. I'm here to help you resolve these conflicts. There are some things I can't confront directly with the higher-ups, so I can reduce the conflicts by going around them."

Zheng Xianfa took a few deep puffs of his cigarette, then got on his bike and rode away.

Fang Wei stood there without moving. The other party's words caused some ripples in his heart.

To be honest, Zheng Xianfa never forced himself to do anything against his will. If someone else were the director of the commune, his life would not be as carefree as it is now.

It seems that Director Zheng is also facing a lot of pressure this time.

Two days passed.

Fang Wei went to the commune and asked for the recruitment quota in front of Zheng Xianfa and Huang Zhigang.

This time Zheng Xianfa said nothing and handled the matter impartially. He asked Fang Wei to first submit the candidate, and then the commune would hold a meeting to discuss it.

Logically speaking, everyone knows the source of this recruitment quota, but it cannot be made public and must be done according to the rules.

Fang Wei didn't say anything more and directly brought out the candidates recommended for the team.

He was sure he could think of some things, so he had called a meeting of the brigade cadres in the past two days and nominated Jiang Xia.

The necessary procedures must be followed, and Jiang Xia herself is also very hardworking. She is the representative of the entire brigade's educated youth and has won many honors in recent years.

"Okay, put the materials down first. I'll let you know when I have the results."

Zheng Xianfa accepted the report materials, and Fang Wei went back home.

Other brigades in the commune also reported recommended candidates, and finally three outstanding educated youth were selected and waited for the recruitment units to come and select them.

As a result, people from the Provincial Capital's First Machinery Factory came, but something went wrong in the last link.

Deputy Director Qi Haiyang intervened. He told the person in charge of recruitment in the unit to add one more recruitment quota. The implication was that either two educated youth should be recruited back or none should be recruited.

"Director Qi, everyone knows what happened. For us, if we can get rid of one person, then that's a good thing. If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely let Fu Tao go first."

Zheng Xianfa went to find Qi Haiyang and persuaded him not to do so.

It would be fine to offend Fang Wei, but offending the recruiting company is really not worth it.

"Then tell me, how is Fu Tao worse than Jiang Xia? If you're talking about breaking the rules, they were the first to do so. Why are they saying something different when it comes to me? You don't have to say it. I won't compromise on this matter."

Qi Haiyang was also very angry and directly kicked Zheng Xianfa out.

Zheng Xianfa returned to the commune helplessly. The matter came to a stalemate. He then told Fang Wei about the situation.

Fang Wei didn't have any good solution. He couldn't go to Wu Yaoyang for this matter. After all, this matter couldn't be brought to the table. Qi Haiyang was so tough because he saw this.

The people at the recruiting company were also having a headache. They had originally thought that this would be an easy job, but who knew that something like this would happen? They had no choice but to report it to the company.

"Then you should come back first. Let's all calm down and think of a solution later."

The First Machinery Factory is also unwilling to compromise. If all grassroots units act like Xinlin County in the future, won’t the recruiting units suffer a lot?
Now we can only deal with it calmly, put this matter aside for now and deal with it after this year.

Fang Wei then called Wu Di and tactfully told him that someone was interfering in this matter. He meant the same thing, so let's wait and see.

Wu Di had already learned about this from the recruiting company. He knew very well that Fang Wei could not be blamed for this matter, as Fang Wei had already done his best.

On the phone, Wu Di expressed his gratitude again and again and agreed to put the matter aside for the time being.

After returning to the team, he did not look for Jiang Xia. It would be bad to talk too much with her.

He had no time to think about these things after that, because the autumn harvest work officially began.

Zheng Hu was in charge of the brigade, and the autumn harvest was arranged by him, so Fang Wei didn't have to worry about anything. He went directly to the Yao village and led the brothers and sisters to complete the harvest as quickly as possible.

Road construction has been put on hold again, but the project progress has exceeded 60%, which will not affect the plan to complete it early next year.

"Third brother, this rice thresher is very useful."

The Yao village added 10 rice threshers this season. Although they were discarded by the Xiatang Brigade, they are easy to use and have greatly improved the efficiency of rice harvesting.

Wang Songlin was the captain who always charged forward. He shouted at Fang Wei while working.

Fang Wei's mouth twitched twice. No wonder Grandpa had chosen him instead of letting him be the leader. He found that he was more suitable to be a fierce general who charged into battle, but not suitable to be a leader who could see the overall situation.

For example, for this autumn harvest, he personally formulated the work plan, otherwise it would be very messy.

We also have to rush to harvest in the autumn, and hurry to harvest, thresh and dry the crops, mainly because we are afraid that rain will cause unnecessary losses.

Under Fang Wei's direction, everyone worked together to complete the harvest in an orderly manner. The weather was favorable, with no rain in sight, and the rice seeds, after threshing and drying, were quickly stored in the warehouse.

A total of 790 kilograms of [Nongyou 658070] rice seeds were produced from 58 mu of paddy fields, with an average yield of 833 kilograms per mu.

Then Fang Wei received a message prompting that [Nongyou 58] was about to reach its production limit, which was 850 to 900 kilograms per mu.

This yield is actually quite remarkable; before the advent of Nongyou 58, there was no precedent for such a hybrid japonica rice in the world. This rice variety is considered a higher-end variety, and therefore carries a higher price tag due to its high cost.

Customers from other counties couldn't wait to come over and were very excited after checking out the latest rice seeds.

"We conducted trial planting this season, and the results were very good, with a yield of 730 kilograms per mu. However, there is some regrettable news. Experts have determined that this type of rice is not suitable for seed preservation and can only be grown for one or two generations at most.

However, this conclusion still needs to be verified. Captain Wang, can you offer a better price? If we can't save the seeds, we'll be at a loss."

The customer introduced the trial planting situation this season and the results were gratifying.

The next step is bargaining. After all, the transaction volume is large, and even lowering the price a little is a victory.

But Wang Songlin insisted on the exchange ratio of 1 to 12 and refused to give in no matter what the other party said.

Finally, the customer agreed to this condition. Just kidding, this is the first japonica hybrid rice in China, with high yield, good taste and good resistance.

The planting cost is only slightly higher than that of ordinary indica rice and is almost negligible.

Moreover, the price of japonica rice is higher than that of indica rice. The normal price of indica rice is around 0.112 yuan per catty, while the price of japonica rice is around 0.132 yuan per catty.

The price difference is obvious.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to give up the [Nongyou 58] rice seeds. Not only will he not give up, he will also establish a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with the other party.

"I have a condition. Let's set a five-year cooperation period. During this period, you can only sell the [Nongyou 58] rice seeds you produce to us. We will buy as much as you can."

Wang Songlin glanced at Fang Wei and saw him nod slightly, so he said, "Okay, let's write a written document later."

65 jin of rice seeds, and an income of 156 million jin of ordinary rice and 66.56 yuan in cash.

The customer paid in cash, and then the grain purchasing department came to the door in person, delivered the rice and took away 65 kilograms of rice seeds.

Now almost two-thirds of the road has been repaired, and work has resumed in the past few days. With the help of thousands of people, the entire transportation task was completed.
