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

"Very good! I've eaten this kind of rice in the Yao village, and it tastes exactly like this. Captain Zhang, hurry up and complete the statistics. I want to see the final data within three days."

Fang Wei ate two large bowls in one breath, and then assigned a task to Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chu quickly finished his meal, stood up, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and said, "It won't take three days. I'll go and keep an eye on it now."

Two days later.

The statistics of the first team are out.

队里这一季种植了400亩【农优58】稻种，还有20亩试验田培育了杂交水稻育种所需的材料。【农优58】稻种的总产量为329200斤，平均亩产达到了823斤。

As soon as this data was announced, the entire team suddenly cheered.

This yield is actually very high. Although it is not as good as the yield of the second-grade rice variety [Nan Guang No. 1], since this is a fixed rice variety, the exchange ratio is 12 to , and the overall income is much higher than the income from cultivating the second-grade rice variety.

You should know that the exchange ratio of the second-grade rice seed [Nan Guang No. 1] is only 5 to .

"Captain Zhang, congratulations! Your experiment was a great success."

"Thank you, Secretary Fang. Without your support and that of the Yao village, we would probably still have to plant the second-rate rice variety [Nanguang No. 2]."

After Fang Wei congratulated Zhang Chu, Zhang Chu did not become complacent with his achievements.

Because he knew very well that without Fang Wei providing the technology and personally giving lectures to everyone, and without the breeding materials provided by the Yao village, the team would never be able to succeed.

So he bowed to Fang Wei on behalf of everyone in the production team.

"We don't do this kind of thing with our own people! From now on, the remaining 10 production teams will all plant this kind of rice seed. There's no rush to exchange it, and I must make the overall arrangements. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

Fang Wei was very satisfied after hearing Zhang Chu's affirmative answer, and immediately left Team 2.

He rushed straight to the Yao village, which had just finished its summer harvest. The village's [Nongyou 58] rice seed yielded an average of 836 kilograms per mu, slightly higher than the first team's output.

After all, the Yao village takes longer to cultivate new rice varieties, which means it is closer to the yield limit of the [Nongyou 58] rice variety.

According to the information, Fang Wei figured out the maximum yield of this new rice variety, which is about 800 to 850 kilograms per mu. This yield is certainly very good, laying a solid foundation for subsequent promotion work.

The total output of [Nongyou 58] rice seeds in Yao Village this season is 660400, which is a bumper harvest.

[Harvest crops, points +329200]

[Harvest crops, points +660400]

Total points: 5288270.

Fang Wei asked the Yao Village to do the same, not to make the exchange for the time being and to wait two days.

He immediately went down the mountain and held a summer planting work meeting when he returned to the team.

"I've decided to start cultivating the Nongyou 58 rice variety throughout the entire brigade, except for the second team. I believe that by autumn, our income will increase significantly."

Fang Wei directly arranged the next production tasks at the meeting, and the Xiatang Brigade began to fully plant [Nongyou 58] rice seeds.

This matter has been decided long ago. As long as one team's experiment is successful, this work will be rolled out on a full scale.

Accountant Liu then announced the rice production figures for each team. First up was Team 440, which had planted 484000 mu (approximately hectares) of Nanguang No. rice, yielding a total of jin (approximately catties).

The second-highest grade rice variety is [Nan Guang No. 3339150], and the total output of the entire brigade is jin.

[Harvest crops, points +484000]

[Harvest crops, points 3339150]

Total points: 9111420.

The harvest this season was good. The entire brigade and the Yao village had a good harvest.

Fang Wei immediately adjourned the meeting, and Zheng Hu led everyone in starting summer planting. After a busy half month of sowing, germination, raising seedlings, and transplanting, the "double harvest" period came to an end.

Under his coordination, the [Nongyou 58] rice seeds from Yao Village and Team first met the late rice production needs of the various teams in Xiatang Brigade, and then began to be exported.

This time Xiao Qifeng did not come, but sent relevant personnel from the Chenzhou breeding base to exchange the seeds.

Fang Wei handed this work over to Accountant Liu, Zhang Chu and others, and went to the Yao village himself.

It wasn't that he had any objection to Xiao Qifeng as a person. It was mainly because Wu Yaoyang told him that in the future, [Nongyou 58] rice seeds would be supplied to the counties in the region first.

Therefore, the cooperation with Chenzhou Agricultural Bureau is basically a one-time deal, and what will happen in the future will depend on the opinions of the county and Xiangling area.

As a small brigade secretary, he couldn't make the decision on these matters. Even Qi Haiyang, the matchmaker, couldn't make the decision either, so Xiao Qifeng simply didn't come this time.

The cooperative clients of Yao Village are local units and will not be affected by this.

According to the exchange ratio agreed in advance, the village harvested a total of 158.50 million kilograms of rice and 67.63 yuan in cash.

This season, Fang Wei's 10 mu of official land was used to cultivate high-yield soybean seeds, with a total output of 5500 kilograms, and a cash income of 26400 yuan.

When he finished these things and returned to the team, the replacement work of Xiatang Brigade had been completed.

其中，一队收获了79.01万斤稻谷和33.71万元现金。二队收入了96.8万斤稻谷和45.69万元现金。其他的次一级稻种，换回来333.92万斤稻谷和160.28万元现金。

In other words, the brigade harvested a total of 509.73 million kilograms of rice this season, and earned an additional 239.68 million yuan.

Previously, the brigade had 300 million jin of rice in stock. After deducting some consumption and adding this season's harvest, the team's grain reserves suddenly reached 800 million jin.

Zheng Hu decided to distribute rations. The plan he reported to Fang Wei was to give each person in the team an average of 600 kilograms of rice.

Fang Wei nodded and said, "That's it, distribute the rations as soon as possible."

Zheng Hu then arranged for people to distribute the rice. A total of 120 million kilograms of rice were distributed, and 680 million kilograms of rice were left in the team.

The next step was to pay the public grain tax. It was still the same old rule, and the annual public grain task was completed in one go, a total of 64 jin of rice. There were still 616 million jin of rice left in the team.

"Third brother, we only need to keep 200 million catties. I plan to sell the rest of the rice to the purchasing station at the negotiated price."

With Fang Wei's consent, Zheng Hu sold another 416 million kilograms of rice and earned 42.85 yuan in cash.

The team still has 200 million jin of rice in stock.

Although it seems troublesome to carry out this back and forth, in fact, in this process, the brigade also received a large amount of feed rewards and the honor of being an advanced grain sales unit.

Being an advanced grain seller is not an honor that can be ignored. It represents the contribution made by Xiatang Brigade. With such a real achievement, anyone who doesn't take it will be wiped out.

In addition, the brigade has done an excellent job in breeding, so generally no one dares to touch the Xiatang Brigade.

In the midst of busyness, Tian Bingyi came to find Fang Wei, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.

“The county breeding base was not very satisfied with the sterile line cultivated by our production team, so we focused on cultivating the second-class rice variety [Nanguang No. 2] for late rice.

Director Wang from the breeding base said we broke the contract. He's actually just unhappy with this batch of sterile lines and is planning to file a complaint with the county. "Third brother, could you please talk to Director Wang and let this go? We might still have a chance to work together in the future."

Tian Bingyi and Wang Liang had a conflict, and Wang Liang did not give Fang Wei any face at all, which made Tian Bingyi very distressed.

The reason why Fang Wei asked him to cultivate the sterile line at that time was mainly because there was not enough arable land in Yao Village and Xiatang Brigade, not because he wanted to trick Wang Liang on purpose.

Compared to the sterile lines produced in Yao Village, the sterile lines produced by Tian Bingyi's production team were indeed inferior in quality. After all, without the blessing effect of the attributes, the quality would gradually decline.

Fang Wei planned to solve this problem when he had time, but Wang Liang started to make trouble right away.

"Okay, brother-in-law, you and I will go to the breeding base together tomorrow."

Fang Wei was also a little unhappy. Although the sterile line produced by Tian Bingyi and his team was of slightly lower quality, it would not affect the yield of [YX-32] rice seeds at the breeding base.

By next year, Fang Wei will arrange for the Yao village to cultivate a batch of sterile lines specifically for the other party, enough for them to use for more than three seasons.

the next day.

Fang Wei dragged Tian Bingyi along to the breeding base. "Secretary Fang, I said I'd be free to visit you these past couple of days, and here you are."

Wang Liang was as enthusiastic as ever and accompanied the two to the meeting room.

"Director Wang, is there any problem with the sterile line cultivated by my brother-in-law's production team?"

Fang Wei directly talked about Tian Bingyi and asked what he was going to do.

"There aren't any major problems, but it's just a little worse than the sterile lines produced in the Yao Village. Secretary Fang, you know the breeding base is a key support unit of the county. It's very difficult for me to do what he does."

Wang Liang was immersed in the joy of the harvest, but he was dissatisfied with the results delivered by Tian Bingyi.

Of course, he wouldn't go to the county to file a complaint, as that would be tantamount to falling out with Fang Wei, but he couldn't just turn a blind eye to the matter. That was what he meant.

"Director Wang, this is ultimately my fault, so please don't hold Tian Bingyi's production team responsible. Honestly, although the sterile lines they developed have some flaws, they won't affect their effectiveness. I can guarantee that."

If you feel this is inappropriate, we can refund some of the money. We just hope this matter ends here and we have nothing to do with each other in the future. What do you think? "

To put it bluntly, this matter was because Fang Wei did not have any extra land, so he used Tian Bingyi's production team to cultivate a group of sterile lines.

All the materials were provided by Fang Wei, so the core quality was definitely fine. However, because they were cultivated on ordinary farmland, they lacked the added attributes, so the quality was naturally different.

But it will not affect the seed quality of the breeding base.

Therefore, Tian Bingyi was not to blame for this matter. It was Fang Wei himself who did not expect Wang Liang to find fault.

"Secretary Fang, you're not considering me a friend if you say that. We've always gotten along well, but public is public and private is private. I hope our partners can strictly control quality.

In this case, Lao Tian didn't do it on purpose, so let's forget about it and don't do it again. However, the Yao Village must fulfill its previous promise to meet our production needs."

Wang Liang's attitude remained amiable, and he kept talking in circles, gradually revealing his true intentions.

Before summer planting, he visited Wang Songlin in the mountains, hoping to have the Yao village continue cultivating the sterile line next season. Based on the performance of the [YX-032] rice variety this season, he planned to expand the planting area.

The report has been written and submitted to the county. What he is most worried about is whether the breeding materials can be supplied.

Wang Songlin flatly rejected Wang Liang's request. Everything was ready in the Yao village, and they were definitely going to plant [Nongyou 58] rice seeds this season. There was no way they could change the production plan at the last minute.

This was not within his consideration, and he didn't even tell Fang Wei afterwards.

Wang Liang thought that it was Fang Wei who instructed Wang Songlin to say this, so he warned Tian Bingyi, but in fact he was also sending a signal to Fang Wei.

It was a pity that Fang Wei didn't know the cause of the incident, but at this moment, he also realized that something was wrong. The other party had tossed and turned, but in the end, he raised it high and put it down gently. It was obvious that he was not targeting Tian Bingyi.

"Director Wang, we are old acquaintances. Please speak frankly if you have anything to say."

Fang Wei was too lazy to guess and asked directly.

When Wang Liang heard this, his expression was very interesting. After a long while, he said:
"I talked to Captain Wang before, but he didn't tell you afterwards?"

"What? Ever since the summer harvest began, I've been so busy I've only seen him twice. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you'd gone to see Wang Songlin. If you had something to say, why didn't you come to me directly?"

Fang Wei spread his hands to show that he knew nothing.

Wang Liang rolled his eyes. Well, he had acted out so many plays, but ended up performing them all for a blind man.

So he started from the beginning and finally told the other party that the breeding base was planning to expand the planting area of [YX-032] to acres, so the demand for breeding materials would increase exponentially.

"Serves you right! This is a common problem for those of you who come from government agencies – you overthink things. If you had just told me, you wouldn't have to go around in circles and make everyone unhappy."

Now let's get down to business. You want to expand the cultivation area of [YX-32] rice, and I definitely support it. But you also have to consider the actual conditions of the Yao village. If you want them to cultivate materials for you, you have to solve their food problem."

Fang Wei cursed angrily. It was originally a very normal thing, but Wang Liang made it so complicated.

People who come from government offices are just not straightforward in doing things.

Fang Wei naturally supported the idea of expanding the breeding base's production scale. After all, he had developed the [YX-032] rice seed, and if it could be widely promoted, he would be proud of it.

However, this matter needed to be carefully considered, so he teased Wang Liang casually.

As a result, Wang Liang suddenly became angry and said:

"Secretary Fang, where can I get food? The base only produces rice seeds, not grain. They won't eat the seeds, will they?"

When Fang Wei saw the other party's frustrated look, the anger in his heart dissipated.

"Okay, I was just teasing you. I need to go back and think about this carefully. Anyway, it won't interfere with your work. Brother-in-law, let's go. Don't disturb Director Wang's work."

Fang Wei said this and left the breeding base without taking Tian Bingyi with him.

Wang Liang finally came to his senses and felt a little ashamed, thinking he shouldn't have used these tactics to deal with the other party. He could see that Fang Wei wouldn't fall for it, and if it happened again, the other party would definitely turn hostile.

In fact, he still didn't understand Fang Wei. If it weren't for Wang Liang's selfless and public-spirited nature, he would definitely not be polite this time.

When they got home, it was time for dinner, so he had a few drinks with his brother-in-law.

The incident was over, and Tian Bingyi finally smiled. The team had done well in recent years, and even cultivating inferior rice varieties had significantly improved the members' living standards.

He hurriedly said goodbye after dinner as there were still a lot of things waiting for him in the team.

After Fang Wei sent his brother-in-law off, he went to the brigade headquarters. He was considering that the supply of materials to the breeding base would be handled by the Xiatang Brigade in the future.

He has now included all the arable land of the 12 production teams under the brigade into the [planting area], and any production team can cultivate flawless breeding materials.

In fact, the price of breeding materials is very high, mainly because there is no way to solve the food problem, so the Yao village is not so enthusiastic.

However, this problem does not exist in Xiatang Brigade. Even if there are several production teams specializing in cultivating breeding materials every season, the entire brigade will not lack food.

However, he would not agree to Wang Liang's request directly. He would have to fight for a few more rounds, otherwise the opponent's tail would be lifted up to the sky.

With something on his mind, he put the matter aside and started looking at the documents.

in the afternoon.

The team began to install the radio, which is commonly known as a "big loudspeaker" and needs to be connected with wires.

With this thing, you can play news, notify things, play songs, etc. It is convenient and can enrich the cultural life of members.

The money for a radio set is nothing to the Xiatang Brigade.

A few days later, when the loudspeakers in each village started playing, many people were surprised. They had never used them before, and the inspiring songs that came out of the loudspeakers brought smiles to many people's faces.

"We are now playing an urgent announcement. Attention, team leaders! Secretary Fang wants you to come to the brigade headquarters for a meeting immediately. I repeat, all team leaders, please go to the brigade headquarters for a meeting immediately."

Zhang Chu was quite engrossed in listening to the song, but when he heard the notice, he immediately rode his bicycle to the brigade headquarters.

Forty minutes later, Fang Wei walked into the meeting room.

"Are you all here? Then let's have a meeting."

There is only one topic for today's meeting, which is to convey the documents from superiors.

In fact, this matter was not that urgent. Fang Wei just wanted to test the effectiveness of the broadcasting system, so he called them all over.

After conveying the spirit of the document, Zheng Hu talked about a few more things related to production, then looked at Fang Wei and asked:

"Secretary, is there anything else?"

"At 8 o'clock this evening, each team will organize its members and educated youth to listen to the loudspeaker and conduct ideological study. Captain Zheng, you are responsible for this. You will read the newspaper in the broadcast room at that time."

For a long time, ideological study sessions were organized by each team independently. After all, the teams were not close to each other, and running back and forth late at night was not practical.

Now it is different with the broadcasting system. For example, reading documents and newspapers can be transmitted to every member through the broadcasting system.

Everyone nodded, and Fang Wei dismissed the meeting. (End of this chapter)
