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

This is the effect Fang Wei wants. It's rare for him to have a channel to speak out. If he keeps silent, it would be stupid.

At this point, the matter has been placed at a very high level, and it is hard to predict whether it will be a blessing or a curse, but he will never regret it.

Even if he was demoted to the lowest point because of this incident, he would be able to turn things around after lying dormant for a few years at most.

He has been cautious since he came to this era, but now he has nowhere to retreat and can only face the challenge.

After several days of group discussion, everyone reached a consensus that all localities must attach importance to breeding work, treat breeders well, and not artificially create obstacles for them.

At the final plenary session, the materials Fang Wei had previously submitted were turned out and fully affirmed.

The relevant departments then sent a letter to Xiangnan Province, asking it to correct the deviations that occurred in previous work.

"Deviation? This is clearly a mistake. But it's still a good result. You really can't force anything."

This great discussion has affected a wide range of areas, with voices of approval growing louder and louder, but the undercurrents behind the scenes cannot be ignored either.

In the end, it would be good enough if we could get a conclusion that is favorable to us. It is obviously impossible to hold the parties involved accountable.

Fang Wei returned to the team with mixed feelings and had no mood to go out and play.

"Third brother, this season's rice planting is almost over and is now in the final stages. Did you mention our situation during the meeting?"

Before leaving the capital, Fang Wei sent a telegram to the team, and Zheng Hu went to the county town to pick him up in person.

On the way back, Zheng Hu first reported the production progress to Fang Wei, and then asked him about the meeting with anticipation.

He has had a long-cherished wish these days, hoping that Fang Wei could speak at the conference about the difficulties encountered by the Xiatang Brigade and the unfair treatment they suffered.

Zheng Hu hopes to do his breeding work peacefully and lead everyone to a good life together with Fang Wei.

He wanted nothing more.

"I spoke about our brigade at the meeting, and our superiors recognized our work achievements. They will send a working group to the province later to correct the situation. It's hard to say how far we can go, but ultimately, the situation won't get any worse than it is now."

Fang Wei has expectations for the rectification work, but not much.

In short, the worst is over and good days will slowly come.

"That's great. Otherwise, we would be chased and beaten by others and it would be difficult to turn things around."

Zheng Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was not a pleasant feeling to be chased and beaten by others. He was worried all day long, not knowing when the guillotine would fall on his head.

Now at least we have seen the bottom line, and now we just have to wait for it to rebound.

The tractor rumbled into the village. When it arrived at the door of his house, Fang Wei grabbed his travel bag, jumped out of the car, and walked into the yard.

Zheng Hu did not follow the other party in, but turned around and went to the team headquarters.

"dad."

The son was the first to see Fang Wei and ran over.

Fang Wei put down what he was holding, picked up the little guy and spun him around a few times.

A little later, Pan Lianhua came out with her daughter and stood at the door, calling out, "Binbin, come down! Let us in first."

Later, Fang Wei put Dabao down and picked up Xiaobao, then carried the travel bag and walked into the house.

"Grandpa, I'm back."

"It's good that you're back. Lotus has been thinking about you every day these days."

He greeted Grandpa, who responded with a smile.

"Who's been talking about him all day? Sister, it's time to cook."

Pan Lianhua did not admit that she had thought of Fang Wei, but she could not hide the joy in her eyes.

Sister came out and greeted Fang Wei, then started cooking. Soon everyone had dinner.

Fang Wei didn't go shopping this time, but bought some pastries near the hotel where he was staying, and then took them out for everyone to taste.

"Third brother, did everything go well at the meeting this time? If not, I'll quit being the team leader and move my family to the Yao village to avoid all the worries all day long."

Pan Lianhua felt so distressed when she saw that the man was very tired.

For her, nothing is important. The most important thing is that the family lives happily together.

"I'm fine. This meeting went smoothly. It will save me a lot of trouble in the future."

Fang Wei ignored his wife's complaints and went to bed early, making the excuse that he was very tired from riding the train.

The next day.

He arrived at the team early in the morning and began to inspect each team to check the progress of rice planting.

Rice planting has essentially been completed across the brigade, and everything is proceeding according to the previous production plan. In fact, aside from the experimental fields and the cultivation of breeding materials, the remaining 3800 mu of paddy fields are all planted with the Nanguang No. rice seed.

Part of it will be sold as rice seeds, and part of it will be used as food and to pay public grain.

Now, all the farmland of the entire brigade has been included in the planting area by Fang Wei, which means that all of them have attribute bonuses, and there is no difference between growing grain and cultivating rice seeds.

It’s just a pity that some of the high-quality rice seeds will be consumed as food and as public grain.

This is a last resort. The brigade has limited land, so this is the only way to arrange it.

Fang Wei had lunch at Team 6 at noon. By the time he finished inspecting all the teams and returned to the team headquarters, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

"Third brother, I was just about to send someone to look for you. Someone from Yao Village wants to see you and is waiting at your house right now."

Before Fang Wei entered the office, Zheng Hu stopped him.

When he heard that someone was coming to the village, he thought something had happened and hurried back home.

As a result, Wang Songlin sent someone to call him and asked him to go to the village as there was an urgent matter.

"What exactly is it? Songlin didn't tell me?"

"No, I don't know either."

The visitor knew nothing about anything, so Fang Wei followed him to the Yao village and didn't even have time to eat dinner.

"Secretary Fang, I'm sorry. It's inconvenient for me to go to your brigade, so I asked you to come over. This matter is urgent, and I need to finalize it with you as soon as possible."

When Fang Wei arrived, Wang Songlin was drinking with a big client in the village.

He was not polite and after sitting down, he ate a large bowl of rice first, and then clinked glasses with the big customer.

"We need rice seeds. This matter concerns thousands of households. You cannot cut off the supply of rice seeds when the summer harvest comes.

I told Captain Wang before that I can provide you with at least 10% of your rice. I'll take as many high-yield rice seeds as you have."

According to customers, if the Yao village and Xiatang Brigade sold all the rice seeds to the purchasing station, they might not be able to get the rice seeds.

Don't think that everyone is honest these days. The customer said he was willing to give up 10% of the rice in exchange.

"We'll handle the transportation. There won't be any problems. But this matter needs to be kept secret. The fewer people who know about it, the better. How's that?"

"Okay, then we will sign a cooperation agreement. The Yao village will provide you with hybrid rice planting technology services, and the Yao village will get a portion of the harvested rice.

You can discuss the specific terms with Captain Wang. If the cooperation is satisfactory, I can promise to provide you with high-yield rice seeds. Do you think this is okay?"

Fang Wei doesn't care now. Who can't make temporary adjustments?

This agreement is just a sleight of hand. It is still a rice seed exchange at its core, but it appears reasonable after being covered up.

"Alright, Secretary Fang is still smart. Let's do it!"

The customer was overjoyed. No matter what method was used, as long as the problem could be solved, it would be fine.

This incident also reveals everyone's urgency to obtain high-yield rice seeds. Especially since this summer's rice harvest is bound to be low, some people are even taking risks to maintain grain production.

The specific details were left to Wang Songlin and the client to discuss. Fang Wei went to his grandfather's house to take a nap and returned to the team early the next morning.

For the time being, he didn't dare to fully launch this plan, and his cooperation with the other party was limited to the Yao Village. However, he had dealt with the other party for a long time, and there was still a basic trust.

Perhaps there will be greater cooperation in the future. The weather is getting warmer day by day, the rice seedlings in the fields are growing stronger, and the poultry house has started the annual release of ducks.

The big duck takes the little duck to swim in the rice fields. Various kinds of insects are their food. For these ducks, this place is their paradise.

The team arranged a small number of people to manage the fields, while most of the members and educated youth were planting trees on the mountains.

The brigade organizes this activity every year, but Fang Wei rarely participates.

early morning.

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua took their things and walked into the mountains.

Recently, they have started to pick herbs in the mountains again. The rare herbs needed by the Chinese medicine hospital are basically perennial plants, which can only be collected in the primeval forest or the [No. 1 Herbal Cultivation Base].

"Third brother, our house looks a bit old. Should we repaint the interior this year? The exterior walls and courtyard walls should also be renovated."

Picking herbs is a simple task for both of them, and they won't feel bored as they chat while working.

Pan Lianhua is a person who loves beauty. Her house looks a bit shabby, and she always wants to renovate it to make it look more comfortable.

"You can paint the inside of the house, but don't do the exterior walls or the courtyard wall, to save yourself the trouble. If you do such a good job, someone will target us, which would be pointless."

Fang Wei saw it clearly. These days, it was okay to eat and drink well, but there was no need to make the house look bright and fancy.

First, it will arouse the jealousy of others, and secondly, it will easily cause trouble.

Therefore, we should pay special attention to such small things, otherwise we will lose the big picture.

"Oh, got it."

Pan Lianhua was not very happy, but still responded obediently.

She believes in her man and will not contradict him.

The two worked intermittently for a week, gathering all the rare herbs the hospital needed. The hospital sent a car to take them away. After a week of hard work, Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua earned 2327 yuan in cash.

Taking advantage of the good weather during this period, Fang Wei asked someone to help paint the walls of his house.

Nothing else will be touched. It doesn't matter if the outer walls and courtyard walls are a little dilapidated. I'm not a big shot, so I don't care about my face.

this day.

Director Qin of Xiangyang Commune led a team to visit Xiatang Brigade, and Fang Wei received them warmly.

I originally thought they came for hybrid rice, but it turned out they came for spotted pigs.

"Secretary Fang, several large pig farmers in our commune (brigade) are planning to import your spotted pigs. Can we reach an agreement that you can sell us all the qualified fine-breed pigs while meeting your own needs?"

Director Qin is in his forties and is decisive in his words and deeds.

Fang Weiyi laughed. Was he seeking "exclusive ownership"? He could understand that, though. The Xiatang Brigade currently had a limited number of high-quality pigs. If they were to sell them to multiple customers, the plan to introduce high-quality pigs would be delayed for a long time.

"I have no problem with that. However, if our number of spotted pigs increases in the future and you don't need so many, I will definitely sell them to others."

Fang Wei then made a patch, saying that there was no obstacle to expanding production on his side, the only problem was whether he wanted to or not.

Director Qin didn't believe that Xiatang Brigade could expand its production capacity in a short period of time, so he agreed without hesitation.

The price agreed upon was 1000 yuan per high-quality pig, weighing at least 200 kilograms, with buyers allowed to choose their own. After the agreement was reached, Xiangyang Commune bought 800 adult pigs in one go.

The brigade earned 80 yuan from this, which was faster than making money from cultivating rice seeds.

[Pigs are produced, points +226400, total points: 6554580 points.]

There are still 1714 pigs left in the farm.

The rest of the team were either pregnant sows or pigs that didn't meet the standards for purebred pigs. Last year's piglets were already approaching adulthood, and the pregnant sows were about to give birth again in the next month or two.

Time always passes so quickly. We get the materials we need to survive from this land. Winter goes and spring comes, and summer is coming in the blink of an eye.

morning.

Fang Wei received documents from the province, region and county in his office.

The three documents are actually talking about the same thing, which is the interim results of "correction".

The working group believed that Zeng Qing and others' delay in issuing the provincial document was justifiable. It was the busy autumn harvest season, and they needed to ensure that agricultural production was not disrupted, so their actions were not wrong.

Xinlin County did not prevent the exchange and purchase activities of the various communes and brigades without receiving any documents and does not bear any responsibility.

In the absence of clear documents, the spontaneous exchange and purchase activities of the communes and brigades in Xinlin County will not be investigated.

The ban issued by the province is obviously biased. It does not take into account the importance of breeding work and has dampened the enthusiasm of the majority of breeders. It should be revoked.

However, agricultural seeds are important strategic materials for the country, and the practice of private exchange and purchase should be resolutely banned and included in standardized management.

Grain procurement departments were instructed to actively purchase locally produced high-quality seeds, setting prices and conversion rates based on grade and quality. Seed breeding units were no longer required to submit requisitioned grain, and the state grain they submitted could be converted into high-quality seeds according to the conversion rate.

The high-quality seeds sold by breeding units to grain purchasing departments will be converted into grain at a rate of 10% and returned.

Fang Wei read it carefully twice, then let out a long sigh.

This result was much better than he had originally expected. From the region to the county and then to the communes and brigades, all responsibilities were cleared away.

Overturning the previous provincial ban would be like slapping someone in the face.

Someone couldn't even move Fang Wei, let alone Zeng Qing and Wu Yaoyang. This also meant that someone was out of the game, and leaving Xiangnan was only a matter of time.

But after all, we still gave the other party face and did not hold the person involved responsible.

"Huzi, immediately issue a notice. Have everyone gather in their respective teams after lunch and listen to the broadcast. I have a very important document to convey. Remember, have each team take roll call. No one is allowed to ask for leave or be late."

Fang Wei took the risk and made a fiery speech at the meeting, showing his heroic spirit of risking his life to survive.

In fact, his chances of winning were not great at that time, and he was mentally prepared to endure any retaliation.

But he still underestimated the status of grain production in the hearts of most people. It was precisely because he had a glorious past and had cultivated high-yield rice varieties such as the Nanguan series of rice varieties and the Nongken series of rice varieties that many leaders saw the hope of food self-sufficiency.

Otherwise, what's the point of him just complaining?

In the end, Fang Wei and others achieved a phased victory. Zeng Qing, Wu Yaoyang, Zheng Xianfa and others were all retained, and his own position became more stable.

However, some disadvantages have also been noted above, so the circulation of rice seeds has been regulated, and the rights and interests of breeding units and individuals have been guaranteed.

Next, everyone can exchange rice seeds again. Although the refund rate is only 10%, it is enough for most production units.

Breeding units have canceled the task of purchasing grain and can use rice seeds to convert rice into public grain according to the proportion.

This series of policies are beneficial to Xiatang Brigade.

Therefore, Fang Wei was so happy that he immediately asked Zheng Hu to inform everyone that he wanted to share this good news with everyone.

Later.

The loudspeakers of each team sounded at the same time, notifying everyone that they would hold a meeting after lunch to convey important documents.

The members were all very puzzled, not knowing what had happened, and they were talking about it a lot.

So after lunch, everyone ran to the threshing grounds of their respective teams, wanting to hear what was going on.

Later.

A majestic song came from the loudspeaker. After the song was over, Fang Wei's voice rang out.

"I'm now reading a document from our superiors, which has reached an objective and fair conclusion regarding our previous exchange purchases. They dispatched a working group to investigate the situations of 136 brigades and reached their conclusions."

As Fang Wei's voice spread to all the teams, the members and educated youth couldn't help but cheer.

It doesn't matter if the rice seed exchange rate is lower, but at least it has been officially recognized. In the future, there will be a relatively accurate rating and conversion system for rice seeds, and everyone will no longer have to worry about food rations.

The document actually encourages breeding. The higher the grade and quality of the seeds produced, the greater the conversion ratio. The more seeds are bred, the more food will be obtained, and the greater the profit.

Hidden here is the logic of rewarding diligence and punishing laziness, which is completely in line with the distribution principle of "the more you work, the more you get".

Fang Wei ended the meeting amidst cheers. He couldn't hear the cheers of the other teams, but he could hear the cheers of the entire brigade and the second team. (End of this chapter)
