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

Zheng Hu had already vividly described to others the content of Fang Wei's speech at the meeting in Beijing.

Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and in everyone's hearts, Secretary Fang became a hero who was not afraid of anyone.

After listening to the reading of the document today, everyone generally believed that this was the credit of Secretary Fang and also his victory!
Fang Wei's deeds spread like wildfire, not only throughout the county and the region, but also became widely known in some other provinces and cities.

This glorious deed actually has little to do with Fang Wei himself, because after a lot of artistic processing, the content has become seriously distorted.

Fang Wei, who was at the center of the storm, suddenly became quiet.

"Being too famous isn't a good thing; it's more of a curse than a blessing."

noon.

Guan Chongyang came to Fang Wei's house for dinner and couldn't help but sigh.

Fang Wei agreed with the old man's statement. He rarely stayed in the brigade headquarters during this period. He lived a secluded life and rarely went out. He even rarely went to the county town and the commune.

He knew very well that even though he seemed to have won, he had actually become a thorn in the eyes of some people. What he needed now was to keep a low profile, not appear in public, and certainly not speak publicly.

"Grandpa, please make some preparations in the next two days. Let's go out and play together for a few days."

Fang Wei smiled and told Guan Chongyang his plan. He planned to take his whole family, Guan Chongyang and Taoist Sun to visit the capital.

Two days later.

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua took their two children, grandfather, sister, Guan Chongyang and Taoist Sun to Chenzhou to take a train, passing the provincial capital and heading straight to the capital.

After arriving in Beijing, everyone not only tasted the world-famous roast duck, but also visited many scenic spots and took a lot of photos.

They played in the capital for more than half a month before returning home.

"Third brother, these photos are well taken. I like them very much."

At home, Pan Lianhua picked out some photos from a pile and looked through them when she had nothing to do.

The two children often look at photos with her. The daughter is still young and may not have any memory of this trip, but the son is old enough to remember a lot of things.

"Let's go out and play when we have time. I think Grandpa and the old man are very happy."

Fang Wei nodded, this is the fun of traveling.

The family was not short of money, so why would they keep so much cash? He also had saved a lot of national food coupons, so he didn't have to worry about food and accommodation wherever he went.

"It's good, but it's too expensive."

Although Pan Lianhua said this, she was already thinking about various plans for her next trip.

At this time, the elder sister's voice came from the main room: "Third brother, Hu Zi is looking for you."

Fang Wei had only been back for two days and was still resting at home. Hu Zi came to his house, so he must have had something happen again.

So he came out of the house and saw Hu Zi looking anxious.

"What's wrong?"

"Third brother, I don't mean to disturb your rest. I just received a notice that Director Zeng and his group will be here soon."

"Oh? So suddenly? Then let's go."

Fang Wei did not dare to be negligent. He had to come out to greet the regional leaders when they arrived.

So he and Zheng Hu went to the brigade together. The brigade cadres were making preparations and were all in a hurry.

"Alright, it's too late to do anything else, so let's just leave it at that. We'll all go to the village entrance to greet them later, and forget about anything else. It would be bad to make mistakes in a hurry."

Fang Wei calculated the time and knew that Zeng Qing and his group would arrive soon.

He simply took most of the cadres to wait at the village entrance and dismissed the others.

A group of people from the brigade waited at the village entrance for half an hour, and Zeng Qing and his team arrived at Xiatang Brigade.

"Hello, Director Zeng! Welcome everyone to the Xiatang Brigade to inspect our work."

Several jeeps stopped at the entrance of the village, and Zeng Qing was the first to get out.

Fang Wei stepped forward, and Zeng Qing stretched out his hands and shook hands with him tightly.

"We're here to check on your breeding situation. Let's go to your team headquarters first."

Without much greetings, everyone arrived at the brigade headquarters.

Zeng Qing made a brief speech, first affirming the achievements made by the brigade, and then said a few words of encouragement.

Immediately afterwards, a large group of people came to the fields of the second team and took a careful look.

"Secretary Fang, we didn't do our job well before. I heard you used half of your farmland to grow food. What a waste! Sigh!"

Zeng Qing is a man who gets things done. Coming from an agricultural background, he attaches great importance to agricultural production.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have suppressed the document, buying time for Xinlin County's rice seed exchange. He almost left the Xiangling area, completely disregarding his own interests.

"That's not a big deal. The crops we grow are managed according to high standards. After the harvest, we should be able to pick out a lot of good varieties."

Fang Wei couldn't say that there was no difference between rice seeds and rice grains here. As long as the rice grew from the ground, every grain could be used as a seed.

He played it safe, and could attack or defend, and he could explain it any way he wanted when the time came.

"Okay, okay! I knew you, Secretary Fang, weren't that simple. Also, I heard you've taken a different approach, introducing the Ningxiang spotted pigs and breeding an even better breed?"

"Yes, the spotted pigs we bred are even better than the original Ningxiang spotted pigs. Everyone, please follow me, let's go to the pig farm and take a look."

Fang Wei then brought Zeng Qing and his team to the pig farm. They carefully inquired about the number of days before the spotted pigs were slaughtered, their fattening conditions, meat quality, etc., and gained a basic understanding of this type of spotted pig.

Afterwards, Uncle Wu took everyone to see the newly born piglets.

"This breeding season, the farm has added a total of 1836 piglets. The current pig inventory on the farm is 3350 pigs. Among them, there are 180 farrowing sows, 1836 piglets, and 1534 adult pigs."

The pig farm is once again bustling with activity. After renovation, the farm can now easily raise 5000 adult pigs.

Uncle Wu gave a very detailed introduction, and Zeng Qing and others nodded repeatedly.

"You guys are doing a great job raising pigs! We can all learn from you."

After Zeng Qing’s praise, Uncle Wu almost lost his mind.

noon.

Everyone had dinner in the canteen of the second team. It was just before the Dragon Boat Festival, so the team slaughtered a pig and invited the leaders to taste the taste of the team's spotted pork.

"This pork is delicious. There's almost no fishy smell. It's sweet and tender. It's truly top-quality pork."

Everyone's evaluation of Huazhu has reached a new level.

After dinner, Zeng Qing found an opportunity to talk to Fang Wei alone.

He expressed his gratitude in a subtle way and encouraged Fang Wei to eliminate all interference and make greater contributions to breeding work.

In fact, Zeng Qing had been expecting Fang Wei to come to the area to find him, but after waiting for so long, he still didn't see the other party.

He then realized a problem. The other party was obviously "hiding the limelight" and didn't want to get involved in any more messy things.

That's why he came to Xiatang Brigade in person. If he didn't say these words to the other party in person, he would never be able to let it go.

"Director Zeng, I will work hard and will definitely not let you down."

Fang Wei smiled, knowing what was going on, but he didn't say a word.

Zeng Qing glanced at him, nodded, and turned to leave.

in the afternoon.

Zeng Qing and others left the Xiatang Brigade and went to the county.

Fang Wei called Zheng Hu and asked him to arrange for the slaughter of pigs tomorrow. This time the team planned to slaughter 99 pigs, plus the previous pig, which made a total of 100 pigs.

The next day, everyone happily shared the pork, and the aroma of rice dumplings wafted from every household.

In addition, the team also distributed ducks, chickens and eggs to everyone.

On average, each person will get a chicken, a duck, and 10 kilograms of eggs. After taking them home, everyone can have a good Dragon Boat Festival.

[Produces piglets, points +28300]

[Produce broiler chickens, points +8000]

[Produces Mallard, points +9000]

Total points: 9599880.

There are 3250 pigs left on the farm.

Fang Wei's house is very lively.

His eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, and Tingting were all celebrating the festival with him. In addition, there were Guan Chongyang and Taoist Sun, plus the six people in Fang Wei's family, a total of nine people sitting together for dinner.

"We're happy today, let's drink some good wine."

When Taoist Sun arrived, he brought two bottles of Xifeng Liquor, a renowned fine wine. It was everyone's first time drinking it, and it immediately piqued Fang Ping's interest in alcohol.

These two bottles of Xifeng wine were the gifts that Tang Ze gave to Taoist Sun when he came to the brigade last time, to thank him for helping him recover after he had a car accident.

This was the first time Fang Wei drank this kind of wine since he came to this era, so he drank a few more glasses.

The two grandpas and Mr. Guan all tasted it specially.

"I have no regrets in my life for being able to drink such good wine!"

Fang Ping was the best at this among the group. Perhaps because he had been the factory director for a long time, after a few drinks, he even spoke in a pretentious manner.

Tingting burst out laughing, not at her father, but because she felt that the style of painting was obviously wrong.

"Brother, this is my fault! When I was young, I traveled a lot and tasted all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and I also drank a lot of this good wine.

I've been to Beijing several times, but why didn't I think of bringing back a bottle of Moutai? Next time, next time I'll definitely bring back two bottles."

Fang Wei also laughed. In addition to [Xifeng Liquor], the popular good wines now include [Moutai], [Wuliangye], [Yanghe Daqu], [Luzhou Laojiao Special Liquor] and so on.

It’s hard to say which one is the best wine, but Moutai is definitely one of them.

"That's all I'm saying. You can just try these good wines occasionally. As for me, I still feel more at ease drinking sweet potato wine or rice wine."

After hearing what his third brother said, Fang Ping felt embarrassed.

Only Pan Lianhua knows the man's character best, and if he says to buy it, he will definitely buy it.

After eating and drinking, everyone sat in the courtyard and chatted. It was not that hot at this time of year, the temperature was just right, and it was very comfortable to sit outside in the cool air.

"Third brother, the tea in your room is still the best. Most of the tea you gave me was stolen by that bastard Yu Hao."

Everyone drank tea and chatted occasionally.

Sister coaxed Xiaojie and Binbin to bed early, Pan Lianhua was busy cleaning up the mess in the kitchen, and Tian Guihua and Tingting had also gone home to rest.

Only a few older men were still in high spirits. Guan Chongyang talked about the tea leaves Fang Wei had picked.

The few ancient tea trees on the mountain had long been incorporated into the forestation area. Thanks to the bonus properties, the old trees were sprouting new buds, and the quality of the tea was improving.

Every year Fang Wei would go up the mountain to pick some tea leaves and then roast them himself.

Nowadays, Guan Chongyang, Grandpa and Sun Daoren all like to drink this tea more and more. Although Fang Wei shares it with them every year, the overall quantity is still a bit small.

"Old man, please stop talking nonsense. Yu Hao dared to steal your tea? You were the one who gave it to him."

Fang Wei said this, and when Guan Chongyang returned, he gave him another small bag of tea.

I thought the matter was over, but a few days later, Yu Hao actually found Fang Wei and asked for tea.

"It's not just what I want to drink, Secretary. It's a big client I contacted a while ago. After tasting our tea, he immediately fell in love with it and asks me for it every time we meet."

To be honest, Yu Hao is really born to be a salesperson.

The bamboo factory's production and operations are booming, and he has made a great contribution to this. In the first half of this year, the bamboo factory has achieved a net profit of 75 yuan, a significant increase over the same period last year.

Otherwise, even if he had the courage, he would not dare to ask Fang Wei for tea.

"Really?"

"Really? How dare I lie to you, Secretary?"

Fang Wei had no choice but to give him another pound of tea, and then told him that it would definitely be gone this year, and if he really wanted to maintain the relationship, he would have to wait until next year.

Yu Hao left happily with the tea, and Fang Wei went to the mountain on a whim.

Above the chestnut forest, there is a large area of precious trees. This generation transplanted a large number of trees such as silver fir and yew, and cultivated a small tea forest among these trees.

The mother plants of these tea trees are those ancient tea trees.

When Fang Wei walked to this small tea forest, he saw that these tea trees had passed their childhood and had just entered adulthood.

This means that you can try picking tea leaves next year.

"I just don't know what the quality of these transplanted tea trees is like. If they are similar to the ancient tea trees on the mountain, the brigade will have a new specialty."

Fang Wei took a walk in the tea forest with great interest, and concluded that there would be a harvest next year.

However, it remains to be seen whether the tea picked is delicious or not. We can only know for sure by tasting it next year.

After going down the mountain, he asked someone to call Yu Hao over again.

"I had almost forgotten about you. How are those Yao Village salespeople you brought with you? Are the Yao Village's local specialties selling well outside?"

Yu Hao was a little nervous at first, fearing that Fang Wei would take back the tea he had just given him.

The result was different from what he expected.

"They have made great progress. The local specialties of the Yao village are much more popular than bamboo. Yaoling bacon and Yaoling dried bamboo shoots are both hot commodities. As long as the village has them, there is no worry about not being able to sell them."

Yu Hao was quite proud when talking about this.

After all, those business personnel were trained by him, and now they have fully adapted to the job and have achieved very good results.

Everyone is busy with their own things now, and Yu Hao hasn't seen them for a while.

The same goes for Fang Wei. He seldom went to the village recently, and every time he went, he left in a hurry and had no time to care about this matter.

"Okay, I'll just ask about this matter, you go ahead and do your work."

Fang Wei got the answer he wanted and waved his hand to send Yu Hao away.

Next up is summer harvest and summer planting, which is the busiest time of the year, and everyone is actively preparing.

In the past few days, the implementation details of Document No. 16 have finally been released, including grade classification, appraisal standards, determination of purchase price, etc.

According to this standard, the price of first-grade hybrid japonica rice seeds like [Nongyou 58] is 1.38 yuan (per catty), which is converted into ordinary rice at a ratio of 1 to 12.

【南光二号】杂交籼稻稻种的价格为1.28元（每斤），折算普通稻谷的比例为1比10。【南光二号】次一级稻种的价格为0.64元，折算普通稻谷的比例为1比5。

Rice seeds are purchased at designated locations and distributed uniformly by the county-level competent authorities.

In addition, breeding units need to be evaluated and issued breeding licenses by the county-level competent authorities.

Fang Wei quickly convened a meeting and assigned Gao Shushu to oversee the application and review, ensuring the certificate was obtained quickly. The Xiatang Brigade's license approval process proceeded swiftly, completing the entire process in just a week.

The same is true for other brigades in Yaoling Commune. Because they all have experience in producing second-grade rice seeds, they can continue the previous situation in the future.

In addition, Yaoling Commune also obtained a breeding license, but Tian Bingyi Production Team was blocked outside.

Fang Wei couldn't help with this matter. The county had its own plans. Even if he went to find Wu Yaoyang, it would be useless because the other party would never agree.

Tian Bingyi is quite open-minded. He plans to work hard on his side business to make up for the team's losses.

After the implementation of the new policy, some are happy while others are sad.

The Yao Village's big client came knocking again, and this time Fang Wei explicitly rejected him: "There was some ambiguity before, but things are different now. The cost of violating the policy is high, and we can no longer conduct private transactions."

"Then what should we do? Secretary Fang, please help us."

"You can only go to the county and reach an agreement with the grain purchasing department, so that you can buy the rice seeds you need."

The client was extremely anxious, so Fang Wei gave him an idea and told him to go find Wu Yaoyang, perhaps the situation would turn around.

The customer understood his intention, expressed his gratitude repeatedly, and then went to the county.

Time flies.

Xiatang Brigade was the first to start summer harvest work in the county.

All kinds of agricultural machinery were put into use, and the brigade concentrated all its strong laborers. In less than a week, the summer harvest was basically completed.

First, the yield of the cultivated breeding materials was calculated, and the total output of 400 acres of paddy fields was 30 jin.

Next, 3800 mu (approximately 418 hectares) of paddy fields were planted with Nanguang No. rice, yielding a total of million jin (approximately kg) of rice. These were actually standard rice varieties, but without the earlier "correction," a significant portion would have been consumed as food rations and submitted as public grain.

The team kept 18 kilograms of rice seeds, and the remaining 400 million kilograms of [Nanguang No. ] rice seeds all needed to be sold to the purchasing station. (End of this chapter)
