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

This season, Fang Wei did not plant rice on his 10 mu of official land, but instead planted high-yield soybeans.

This piece of land harvested a total of 5500 kilograms of high-yield soybean seeds, which were sold for a cash income of 26400 yuan, about twice the income from growing rice.

Total points: 4958410.

"Third brother, the village has borrowed a total of 60 kilograms of rice from the Xiatang Brigade. I will return it when I get back."

With the new grain arriving at the warehouse, Wang Songlin wanted to pay off his debts first.

"There's no rush. Let's wait until the road to the village is completely repaired. Xiatang Brigade doesn't lack food anyway."

After Fang Wei finished his work at the Yao village, he took a walk around the construction site and returned to the team. By then, the Xiatang Brigade had already finished its autumn harvest, and even the exchange work had been completed.

This season, the second team's 440 acres of paddy fields produced a total of 48.4 kilograms of [Nanguang No. 96.8] standard rice seeds, and earned 45.69 kilograms of rice and yuan in cash.

At the same time, the brigade's other 3800 acres of paddy fields also produced 3835640 kilograms of [Nanguan No. ] second-grade rice seeds.

In exchange for 767.12 million kilograms of rice and 184.11 million yuan in cash.

This season, the total income of the entire brigade was 863.92 million kilograms of rice and 229.8 million yuan in cash.

The agricultural production of Xiatang Brigade has maintained a stable development trend, with output increasing slightly, mainly due to the increase in the yield of secondary rice varieties.

We definitely cannot finish eating so much rice. The public grain has been paid, and the next step is to distribute the rations.

"The second team received an average of 1000 kilograms of rice per person, while the other production teams received an average of 800 kilograms of rice per person."

Taking advantage of the current relatively relaxed situation, Fang Wei waved his hand and decided to distribute rations according to high standards.

The brigade distributed a total of 166.8 million kilograms of rice, leaving 600.32 million kilograms of new rice.

The previous inventory still had 183.24 million jin of rice. 60 jin of rice was borrowed from the Yao village. After deducting some consumption, the actual inventory was 110 million jin of rice.

After a discussion within the team, they decided to sell more rice, which could also be considered as supporting the country's economic development.

Zheng Hu went to discuss with the acquisition department, and they agreed to come and purchase the property.

The inventory must be cleared out. The team sold a total of 410.32 million kilograms of rice, earning 492354 yuan.

To be honest, rice is not profitable at this stage. The price of grain is too low. However, grain is the foundation. Only when grain production is guaranteed can the national economy develop healthily.

Moreover, grain is needed for distributing food rations, paying public grain and requisitioned grain. The commune will also issue a minimum grain planting area target every year. This is a hard target and there is no room for bargaining.

If Fang Wei had not developed high-yield rice seeds, the brigade's agricultural production would not have been based on breeding, and everyone's income would have been much lower than it is now.

This is the basis for Fang Wei's absolute authority in the team, and no one else can learn it.

A few days passed quickly.

The team started planting rapeseed, and then it was the slack season.

Most of the labor in the team went to support the construction of the winding mountain road in the Yao village. Fang Wei asked Zheng Xianfa several times about recruiting workers, but there was still no progress.

this day.

When Wang Liang came to the team, Fang Wei saw his smiling face and knew that the breeding base had a good harvest.

Sure enough, the other party came to report good news.

The [YX-032] rice seeds planted at the base have achieved great success, with an output of 837 kilograms per mu and a total output of 837 million kilograms, which is fully capable of being promoted on a large scale.

Wang Lianghe has reached rice seed supply agreements with several counties, and the [YX-032] rice seeds with excellent quality, stable yield and good taste have officially come onto the stage.

"Secretary Fang, thank you very much. I came here with some gifts to thank the comrades who have contributed to the breeding work. Also, do you have time to accompany me to the Yao village?"

Wang Liang brought a lot of things, which were not valuable but very practical, such as soap, towels, matches, light bulbs, etc. Since the quantity was large, it cost a lot of money.

Afterwards, he took Fang Wei to the Yao village and also delivered a batch of daily necessities to the village.

Fang Wei felt that Wang Liang was a good person. Now, both the people from Xiatang Brigade and the Yao Village had a good impression of him.

When Fang Wei returned to the team, it was already afternoon. He met Wu Yaoyang who had suddenly arrived at the team headquarters. Wu Yaoyang liked to launch surprise attacks, and Fang Wei was used to it.

"Director Wu, welcome to the Xiatang Brigade to guide our work. Our autumn harvest has been fully completed. Let me now report to you on the relevant situation."

Fang Wei then gave a brief report to Wu Yaoyang, who listened carefully.

After he finished his report, Wu Yaoyang expressed his affirmation of the achievements made by the Xiatang Brigade, which was equivalent to locking in the honor of "Model Breeding Unit" for the brigade in advance.

Then, the other party asked again: "Secretary Fang, what's going on with the new rice seeds in Yao Village?"

"You're talking about Nongyou 58, our latest hybrid rice, currently in the experimental stage. It's a japonica hybrid rice, and its yield isn't high, but it's technically very difficult to produce.

We're used to eating indica rice here, but japonica rice is very popular in other provinces and cities. The most important thing is that japonica rice tastes better. Because this rice variety hasn't been fully finalized yet, I haven't reported it to you yet."

Fang Wei explained calmly that although the new rice varieties in Yao Village were not publicized, they were not kept secret either.

In fact, there was no way to keep it secret. He had long expected that this matter would spread to the county.

But he has a clear conscience. The county is currently planting the [Nanguang No. 2] rice variety, with an output of nearly 1,000 kilograms per mu, and no one will easily change the rice variety.

Then it would be natural to sell the new rice seeds to other counties, and he was not afraid of being blamed by the county.

"Comrade Fang Wei, regardless of whether it's still in the experimental stage, the [Nongyou 58] rice variety has already been successful, right? We can't falsely report our achievements, but we can't hide them either.

Go back and write a report with the Yao Village. I want to include this in this year's work summary. We can't let everyone's hard work go unnoticed, right?"

Wu Yaoyang didn't come here to cause trouble today, he just felt a little disappointed with the other person.

As soon as other people achieve a little success, they spread the news all over the world, as if they are afraid that others will not know about it. But Fang Wei, on the other hand, achieved such a big success but kept silent about it. No matter how low-key he is, he can't do that.

If Fang Wei doesn't report it, where will his work achievements come from?
"Director Wu, I was wrong. I will write a report right away and hand it over to you within three days."

Fang Wei knew that the other party wanted to achieve good results, so he readily made self-criticism and promised to correct the mistake immediately.

Only then did a smile appear on Wu Yaoyang's face.

"It's not that serious. It's not a mistake, just a minor flaw in my work. I'm very pleased with your attitude now. I'll wait at the county for your report."

Wu Yaoyang then walked around the brigade and prepared to leave.

"Director Wu, I have a small matter I'd like to ask for your help. There's an educated youth in the team named Jiang Xia, whose brother-in-law is the director of the Chenzhou Textile Factory. Director Wu used his personal connections to ask the First Machinery Factory in the provincial capital for a recruitment quota, but..."

Taking advantage of Wu Yaoyang's good mood, Fang Wei told him about the recruitment quota.

He did not mention Qi Haiyang, but the only person who could block the recruitment quota was Deputy Director Qi, besides Wu Yaoyang.

"Secretary Fang, I'm going to be honest with you. I know about this. Fu Tao is the son of an old comrade of Deputy Director Qi. He's both virtuous and academically excellent, and a fine young man.

But Fu Tao had missed the previous recruitment, and Qi Haiyang was resentful, so this incident happened.

I understand Director Wu's desire to get my aunt back to the city as soon as possible, but illegal operations are illegal operations, and I can't say anything."

Wu Yaoyang felt a little helpless. He had advised Qi Haiyang before, but he didn't expect that guy to be so stubborn and insist on arguing about this matter.

What could he say? This matter itself couldn't be brought to the table for discussion, so he had to keep quiet.

"I understand. Thank you, Director Wu, for clearing up my confusion."

Fang Wei spoke with the attitude of giving it a try. He was very clear about the nature of the matter, otherwise he would have gone to the county to find Wu Yaoyang long ago.

Now that Wu Yaoyang acted helpless, he knew that this matter was going to be troublesome.

However, he just wanted to help Director Wu and would not dwell on it. He would just give an explanation to Wu Di later.

Wu Yaoyang immediately left the brigade, and Fang Wei returned home.

After dinner, Jiang Xia came to his house to find him.

"Secretary, forget about the recruitment issue. Thank you for all your hard work on my behalf. I've figured it out. If I can't leave, I'll just stay here. The living conditions in our brigade are actually so good, they can't even compare to those in the city."

Jiang Xia received a letter from her sister today and learned that something unexpected had happened with the recruitment.

She has now let go of her mental burden and is not in a hurry to return to the city. The key is that there is no point in her being anxious.

"Well, an accident did happen. It's good that you have this mentality. As the saying goes, there's always light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe things will turn around next year." Fang Wei had a good chat with Jiang Xia and felt that the other party was much more cheerful than the last time they talked.

Since the victim has this attitude, he has nothing more to say and just lets things take their course.

He didn't want to go find Qi Haiyang. On the one hand, they were not familiar with each other. On the other hand, the conflict between him and Qi Haiyang had already arisen and could not be resolved with just a few words.

Jiang Xia then said goodbye and left, while Pan Lianhua stayed in the room and sighed for a long time.

Some of these educated youth came to the countryside when they were fifteen or sixteen years old. After a few years, they all matured.

"Third brother, I think this time it's definitely a girl."

Pan Lianhua's thinking is also jumpy. In the last second he was lamenting about Jiang Xia's affairs, and in the next second he was talking about the unborn child.

"How can you be sure it's a girl?"

Fang Wei was very curious and couldn't help but ask.

"I just know it! It's a girl anyway."

Pan Lianhua raised his eyebrows and said seriously.

In fact, this is just her own feeling, maybe right or maybe not, who knows?

The next day.

Fang Wei asked the forestry team to organize people to harvest the herbs planted under the forest. This work does not require too many people, but the work must be meticulous.

Chenzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital has sent a purchase list, and the team needs to pick the fruits according to their requirements.

Finally, all the herbs were weighed together, totaling 73625 kilograms.

[Picking herbs, points +73625, total points: 9351675 points.]

The purchasing agent from the hospital's purchasing department arrived immediately and was surprised after inspecting the goods.

"Secretary Fang, the herbs you planted under the forest are of very high quality."

The buyers felt that the quality of these herbs was no less than that of wild herbs, so they gave them very high grades.

These herbs were sold for a total of 27.98 yuan, and both parties were very satisfied.

"Comrade Zhang, when will you be restocking next time?"

"We'll probably be bringing in another batch of herbs after New Year's Day. I'll send you the shopping list before you come so you can prepare in advance."

Fang Wei chatted with the buyer for a while, and then the buyer escorted the herbs back to Chenzhou.

Now the two sides have established a solid cooperative relationship, and he plans to sell some supplies to the Chinese medicine hospital around New Year's Day to deepen this relationship.

Now, besides grain, non-staple foods, meat, eggs, and poultry were all in short supply and were supplied with coupons. The brigade sold them to families with connections at a price slightly above the supply price, which both increased income and maintained relationships.

Private trading of grain is not allowed, otherwise the brigade would have become rich long ago.

After the autumn harvest, the progress of the winding mountain road project in the Yao village was accelerated again. The commune mobilized more manpower to provide support, and it may be completed by the end of the year.

morning.

Fang Wei brought two team leaders to the road construction site.

The three of them immediately threw themselves into the work, blending in with the others. Call it a facade or formalism, but this very act was an encouragement to everyone.

Wang Songlin kept persuading Fang Wei and others to rest and not to take any action.

Fang Wei smiled and shook his head. Since he was already here, he had to at least finish his work for the day.

At noon, people from the village sent food. This year there was meat in the dishes, which made everyone very happy.

The food provided by the Yao village is quite good. Although there is not meat every meal, there are often some wild delicacies or eggs. The most important thing is that the dishes are rich in oil.

Just based on this point, everyone is willing to work hard instead of just slacking off.

After a day's work, Fang Wei and others returned to the village.

After a two-day break, Fang Wei began inspecting the brigade's forests. Afforestation work never stops in the three seasons of the year, except in winter.

The vegetation on the mountain is becoming more and more lush, everyone has enough fuel, and there has been no illegal logging or forest destruction.

Fifty thousand chestnut trees have been planted, and oil tea trees are spread across all the forest areas of the brigade.

The nanmu shelterbelt is like a giant dragon protecting each village. The number of precious trees on the mountains is increasing, and the whole mountain exudes vitality.

Fang Wei does not plan to blindly expand the planting area of forest herbs. The current layout is just right. Some things can be done quickly, but some things need to be done slowly.

After coming down from the mountain, he went to visit another team.

The success of the Yao village's Nongyou 58 rice seed cultivation gave him new hope. In the Xiatang Brigade, he was in control of everything, so there were things he could try.

He planned to wait until the time was right to designate a team's arable land, and then he could cultivate [Nongyou 58] rice seeds.

The production of the second-grade rice seeds [Nanguang No. 11] is not limited to this production team, and even to the other production teams in Xiatang Brigade.

If the brigade no longer produces second-grade rice seeds, production teams from other communes will take over.

After all, the profit from producing rice seeds is far greater than that from producing rice. Driven by interests, someone will naturally fill the production gaps.

The reason why Fang Wei chose to let other production teams besides Team 58 cultivate the [Nongyou ] rice variety is because this rice variety is not promoted in the county and will not attract other people's attention.

Wu Yaoyang paid special attention to it because he needed the results. I guess he will never ask about it again after he reports the results.

He adopted the method of boiling a frog in warm water, slowly incorporating the entire brigade's arable land into the [planting area], thus achieving a fundamental transformation.

After going through so many things, his ambition is slowly expanding.

A single flower blooming is not spring, but when all flowers bloom, the garden fills with spring.

Secretary Fang is also a person with aspirations, right?

After a quick tour of the team, Fang Wei returned home. Pan Lianhua hadn't returned yet. It was only afternoon, and she hadn't finished get off work yet.

Fang Weiyi gritted his teeth and decided to upgrade the [Forestry Picking Area] to another level.

As the upgrade progresses, each level up requires a huge number of points, which is why he plans to include a team in the planting area first.

With higher output, the points he gets will naturally increase.

However, the area of the [planting area] cannot be fully utilized now. It would be better to designate more areas in Dayao Mountain. After all, not many people pay attention to the deep mountains and old forests.

He immediately took action, and spent 500 million points to upgrade the level of the [Forestry Picking Area] to level 13.

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

【Regional area: 500 square kilometers (75 mu)】

[Regional Level: (Level 13, 0\1000 million)]

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

[Forest cultivation and picking in this area will increase all attributes by an additional 65%, and attributes will be doubled by +1]

Total points: 4278050.

The upgrade was completed instantly, and Fang Wei felt that his strength had increased again.

He then looked at the upgrade information and couldn't help but be overjoyed. This upgrade had a surprise, a big red envelope with an additional "Attribute Double +1" was displayed.

[Attribute Double +1] means that he can specify any attribute of the [Forestry and Picking Area], and the attribute bonus will be doubled.

This is amazing. For example, if he specifies the attribute of "acceleration", the original increase of all attributes is 65%, but now it can be doubled, so that the "acceleration" attribute reaches 130%.

Moreover, he can switch, specify and cancel at will.

At this time, Pan Lianhua returned home, and Fang Wei got up and walked out.

The next day.

Fang Weiyi went for a walk in the mountains early in the morning.

Now the entire [Forestry and Picking Area] covers an area of 75 mu, so he can do whatever he wants with it.

[Attribute Double +1] is naturally used for the "acceleration" item. It can not only greatly improve an individual's single attribute, but also double the growth rate of plants in the area on the original basis.

At this rate, no one will ever enter the mountains again. (End of this chapter)
