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

The herbs under the forest grow very well and are distributed in the endless forest. They seem to be comparable to wild herbs.

The quality of herbs cultivated in this way is undoubtedly better than that of artificially grown herbs in the ordinary sense, but the yield is relatively lower.

However, this mountain forest is very vast, so the base number of various herbs is not small.

"How is it, Chief Jia, can it meet your purchasing needs?"

Fang Wei glanced at Section Chief Jia and then made a joke.

"That's enough, that's enough."

After Chief Jia came up, he found that the area for growing herbs had expanded a lot.

He then randomly checked the age and quality of the herbs with two buyers, and the results made them very happy.

The herbs from Xiatang Brigade are not only of good age but also of high quality. They can be said to have found a treasure.

"Okay then. I'll have people start picking them later. Chief Jia, do you think you should wait here for a few days, or go back and wait for my call?"

"Let me call you. We still have to go to the neighboring province, and there are herbs we need to purchase there as well."

Chief Jia has something else to do, so they will leave in the afternoon.

Fang Wei arranged a sumptuous lunch. After Chief Jia and others had eaten and drunk their fill, they left by car.

Although being a buyer is a highly coveted profession these days, it's also incredibly tiring. Not only does it require constant travel, but the roads are also unsafe, so they also carry two guns in their jeeps.

A few days passed quickly.

The people who went into the mountains to investigate evacuated one after another. Some got what they wanted, but some got nothing.

But the reputation of this "treasure trove of plants" has spread, and I believe that more people will enter the mountains from this area in the future.

Previously, most surveys and research in the primeval forests were conducted from neighboring provinces. However, since the publication of reporter Zhang's article, many survey teams have chosen to enter the mountains from the Second Team of the Xiatang Brigade.

You don’t have to walk far. You can appreciate the scenery of the primeval forest in just over an hour. There are countless kinds of plants. Why go far away?
However, the team, in accordance with Fang Wei's request, decided to close the mountain after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Any scientific activities in the mountains would have to wait until the beginning of next spring.

The reason is naturally to protect the environment, but also to avoid affecting the autumn harvest and spring sowing work.

Before the holidays.

The pigs in the pig farm basically meet the standards for slaughter.

Fang Wei called Director Qin of Xiangyang Commune, who sent someone to buy another 2000 fine-breed pigs.

The price was still 1000 yuan per head, and the team earned 200 million yuan in cash.

A big customer from the Yao village also came later and bought 800 high-quality pigs, and the team received another 80 yuan in cash.

[Pigs are produced, points +792400, total points: 18809280 points.]

There are 350 pigs left on the farm, including 180 pregnant sows and 170 adult pigs.

These pregnant sows will give birth in late October to early November, and the pig farm will gradually become full again.

Because we just slaughtered a pig not long ago, we won’t have pork for the festival.

"During the Mid-Autumn Festival, we will distribute two ducks, two chickens, and 2 kilograms of eggs per person. Huzi, you go and make the arrangements."

Fang Wei formulated a distribution plan, and Zheng Hu immediately took people to implement it.

[Produces Mallard, points +18000]

[Produce broiler chickens, points +16000]

[Produce eggs, points +40000]

[Total points: 18883280 jin.]

On the day of the festival, Pan Lianhua went to the market and bought a few pounds of fresh meat, a grass carp and a few pounds of tofu.

The supply of materials is now slightly better than in previous years. Not only are there people selling pork at the market, but sometimes you can even find people selling beef.

I went to Pan Lianhua a little late today and didn’t buy any beef.

night.

Fang Wei and Fang Ping's families celebrated the festival together. Guan Chongyang and Taoist Sun also came, as well as Yu Hao's family of three.

It was very lively with so many people gathered together to celebrate the festival. Sister Wang Zhuyun, Tian Guihua, Pan Lianhua, Liang Xueqin and Fang Tingting were busy in the kitchen, while the others sat in the main room drinking tea and chatting.

This was the first time that Yu Hao went to Fang Wei's house to celebrate the festival. This was a special arrangement by Guan Chongyang.

The old man has officially accepted Yu Hao as his apprentice. The master and apprentice are like father and son. He announced to the public that Yu Hao is his adopted son. The old man is intentionally paving the way for his apprentice.

Fang Wei didn't say anything. On the one hand, he and Yu Hao had always had a good relationship. On the other hand, Yu Hao had already demonstrated his abilities and was indeed qualified to take over the old man's job.

After the meal was ready, everyone sat together.

The big round table was full of people, and Fang Wei was very happy. He took out two bottles of good wine from the cabinet.

The first glass of wine is of course to toast grandpa, and the second glass of wine is to toast Guan Chongyang.

Grandpa drank the glass happily, but when it was Guan Chongyang's turn, he had something to say.

"Third brother, Yu Hao is considered your junior fellow apprentice in terms of seniority. In the future, I hope you two can help each other and develop together."

Guan Chongyang knew Fang Wei's abilities, and today he officially entrusted his position as his last disciple to him.

Fang Wei's mouth twitched. The old man's gangster habits would never be changed in his lifetime.

In fact, he was not Guan Chongyang's disciple. The two were both teachers and friends, and they regarded each other as family.

Can he say no?
"Old man, please rest assured, I will definitely not let you down."

Fang Wei agreed to the old man's request. Guan Chongyang nodded with satisfaction and raised his glass to drink it all.

Yu Hao was also quite good at handling things, and he immediately offered a glass of wine to his "senior brother and sister-in-law". He was very humble but sweet-talking.

Only then did Fang Wei start to regard the other party as his own.

The meal lasted until ten o'clock. Fang Ping, Tian Guihua, and Fang Tingting left first. Liang Xueqin helped her elder sister and Pan Lianhua clean up, while Yu Hao sent Master Guan and Taoist Sun back home.

Then he returned to the Fang family.

"Yu Hao, after the holiday, please take some time to go to Sanqing Temple and bring some food and cash to Master Sun's two disciples."

Since they are one of them, Fang Wei and Yu Hao will not be polite.

He asked Yu Hao to do this for a purpose, as he wanted to see his talents beyond sales.

He will prepare the things, money and medicine, but how to transport them depends on Yu Hao's ability.

the next day.

Yu Hao shouted in the educated youth dormitory, and immediately a group of educated youth came up and expressed their willingness to help him.

Then he selected a few people and carried his things to Sanqing Temple.

Fang Wei nodded secretly after hearing this. Although it was just a small matter, it showed that Yu Hao was very popular and had good organizational and mobilization skills.

After finishing this task, Yu Hao left the brigade and continued to go to other places to promote the products of the bamboo factory.

Fang Wei talked to Pan Lianhua and asked her to help Liang Xueqin and her son when she had time. Since she said that she would treat the other party as her own, she had to show it in her actions instead of just saying it verbally.

morning.

As Fang Wei walked into the office, Zheng Bao walked in.

"Secretary, last night we caught two guys who were illegally cutting down golden nanmu trees. They sneaked up the mountain under cover of darkness and were spotted by patrolling militia. We followed them and caught them red-handed."

Zheng Bao reported a situation that the patrolling militia caught two guys who were illegally cutting down precious trees.

Fang Wei couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. Reporter Yang's report undoubtedly had great positive significance, but it also aroused the greed of some villains.

Golden nanmu is very precious. No matter what era, there are always people willing to buy it at a high price, and naturally there are also people willing to take risks.

This is all caused by greed. I'm afraid the team will never have peace in the future.

"Send him to the commune police station and let those with evil intentions take a good look at him. This is an example."

Fang Wei would not be polite to such a person, so Zheng Bao immediately sent him to the commune.

Although the enemy failed to succeed this time, it also sounded the alarm for Fang Wei. He called a meeting with Zheng Hu and others, asking each team to strengthen patrols and not give the bad guys any opportunity to take advantage.

On that day, all the herbs in the team were picked according to the purchase list of Chief Jia.

Fang Wei waited for several days but didn't receive a call from Section Chief Jia, but he couldn't contact him. He had gone to another province to purchase herbs, and he didn't know why he was delayed for so long.

The next day.

Chief Jia and others suddenly appeared at the brigade headquarters.

"Secretary Fang, this trip to another province to purchase herbs was truly a dreadful experience. Everything went smoothly on the way there, but after we had loaded the goods, we were met with robbers halfway along the way.

There were not only a lot of people in that place, but they also had several homemade guns. We only had two pistols, and we had to fight for our lives to get out."

Chief Jia is still in shock. This time he had a close call with death.

They still had some cash on them at the time, but the key point was that the goods in those trucks were valuable. If something happened, they would have no way to explain it when they returned.

Fang Wei knew that some places were chaotic these days, but he didn't expect it to be this chaotic.

"Chief Jia, you're lucky to have turned a bad situation into a good one. You'll definitely be very successful in the future. Let's not talk about business for now. I'll have someone take you to have a good rest. I'll call you back for lunch."

Fang Wei said a few words of comfort, and then asked someone to take them to the reception dormitory.

Because the mountain was closed, the dormitories were mostly empty, perfect for them to get some sleep. They'd probably been so nervous all this way that they couldn't rest. Noon.

Fang Wei drank a few drinks with Chief Jia and others, and their emotions gradually stabilized.

After dinner, they began to check the herbs, and finally rated them as level one.

[Picking herbs, points +129300, total points: 19012580 points.]

The herbs collected this time were of high value, and the team earned 78.63 yuan in cash.

the next day.

The vehicle carrying the goods arrived at Xiatang Brigade. Zheng Hu arranged people to load the goods, and everything was done in just one morning.

Section Chief Jia and others had lunch in the cafeteria and then returned to Chenzhou.

the next day.

Fang Wei received the design plan from the Provincial Construction Engineering Design Institute. The plan was not sent by mail but was specially delivered by the other party.

“Thank you so much!”

Fang Wei was very happy, but the team would soon start the autumn harvest, so he planned to wait until after the harvest before starting work.

The visitor left after lunch. Fang Wei had no choice but to send someone to send him to the county town.

Afterwards, he called a meeting of the brigade cadres and team leaders so that everyone could appreciate the design plan.

"it's beautiful!"

Zheng Hu felt that he could not describe this plan in words. He was deeply shocked.

This is just a drawing. I don’t know how attractive it will be when it is put into reality.

"This is a small Western-style building in a foreign country, right? Can we really live in such an advanced house?"

A design drawing can make these people fascinated. If the day of handing over the house really comes, won’t they be overjoyed?
Of course, Fang Wei could understand their feelings.

The vast majority of people here have never left the county. They know very little about the outside world and can only get information by listening to the radio, reading newspapers, etc.

Considering the local situation, such a house is just a small Western-style building.

"Comrades, there will be bread and milk. As long as we unite as one and work hard, we will have everything."

Fang Wei showed everyone this design plan just to motivate them.

Why did he initiate this project? Besides wanting to improve the living conditions of the members, he also wanted to inspire them to fight.

Without fighting spirit, the spirit of the Xiatang Brigade will soon collapse.

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Fang Wei put the design plan away and asked Zheng Hu to contact the construction unit in advance.

As soon as the autumn harvest is over, we will start work.

the next day.

Fang Wei went to the Yao village.

Autumn harvest is a big event, so he held a mobilization meeting in the village to arrange matters related to the autumn harvest in advance.

The specific implementation can be handed over to Wang Songlin, but he still has the final say on the big issues.

"Third brother, I heard that Xiatang Brigade is going to build new residential buildings? Is there any hope for us to get a similar project?"

After finishing the business, Wang Songlin suddenly asked about the new residential project that was about to start in Xiatang Brigade.

To be honest, everyone in the village was envious. They thought they could probably do the same thing if they saved up enough money for a while. But whether it would work or not was up to the headman Fang Wei to decide.

"Of course there is hope, but the village still needs to continue accumulating experience. We can discuss this issue again at this time next year."

Fang Wei naturally would not forget the Yao Village, but the Yao Village had a weak foundation and could not afford the high construction costs for the time being, so it would be better to wait a year or two.

Wang Songlin and others were very happy after hearing this.

As long as the chief doesn't refuse, there is still hope. It doesn't matter if it's a year or two late.

"Third brother, I really can't handle the issue of electricity supply to the village. I don't know how many times I've run there, but they keep delaying it."

Afterwards, Wang Songlin talked about the electricity supply in the village.

He ran back and forth 20 times, but still got no results. It was obvious that he couldn't do it.

"Let's focus on the autumn harvest first. I'll go ask after the harvest."

Fang Wei didn't blame Wang Songlin. This matter was difficult to handle. For example, the installation of a telephone in Xiatang Brigade also took a long time.

He planned to wait until after the autumn harvest and personally take action to ensure that electricity was provided to the village.

night.

Wang Songlin and others asked Fang Wei to drink, so Fang Wei had to stay on the mountain for one night and only went down the mountain and returned to the team the next morning.

A few days passed quickly.

Xiatang Brigade kicked off the autumn harvest.

Fang Wei and all the team cadres participated in this work. Even Accountant Liu, who usually did not work in the fields, went to the second team to cut the rice with everyone.

Fortunately, the brigade has a lot of agricultural machinery with a full range of varieties, which can save a lot of manpower.

On the third day after the autumn harvest began, Wu Yaoyang and his team arrived at Xiatang Brigade. They had been traveling around the communes to inspect the progress of the autumn harvest.

"Secretary Fang, you're making very fast progress. I think your autumn harvest will be basically finished in three days at most."

Looking at the various agricultural machinery running in the fields, Wu Yaoyang couldn't help but sigh that the Xiatang Brigade was really rich.

How can an ordinary brigade afford so much agricultural machinery?

"About the same. I'm sure it will be finished within three or four days."

Fang Wei felt confident and there was no need to hide it.

Wu Yaoyang nodded, said a few nice words to the people around him, and then pulled Fang Wei aside.

"You should keep a low profile recently. The current situation can change so quickly that we all need to be careful. Also, if you don't have any financial difficulties with your new residential project, please expedite it as much as possible."

"Okay, Director Wu. Um, have you heard any news?"

After several incidents, Fang Wei had already been classified as one of Wu Yaoyang's confidants.

He and people like Zheng Xianfa, Wu Yaoyang, and Zeng Qing are all on the same boat, so he would never doubt the other party's intentions.

"No news, just my intuition. I hope I'm just being overly suspicious. Okay, you're busy, we're leaving."

Wu Yaoyang and his group took a look around the team and then left in a hurry.

Fang Wei then continued to devote himself to the autumn harvest and soon ended the battle.

According to statistics, this year the team planted 3800 mu (approximately 418 acres) of Nanguang No. 400 rice, yielding a total of 30 million jin (approximately kg). They also planted mu (approximately acres) of sterile breeding material, yielding a total of jin (approximately kg).

In addition, there are 70 acres of experimental fields, but the output is not included in the calculation.

[Harvest crops, points +4180000]

[Harvest crops, point +300000]

Total points: 23492580.

Now that he has accumulated a lot of points, Fang Wei plans to upgrade the levels of some facilities.

First, he spent 500 million points to upgrade the level of the [Poultry House] from level 12 to level 13.

[Temporary facilities] → [Production facilities] → [Poultry houses (No. 1-8)]

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

[Facility attributes: disease prevention, strengthening, accelerated growth, increased egg production, nesting]

[Raising chickens in this building increases all attributes by an additional 65%, and quality +1]

Total points: 18492580.

After the poultry house was upgraded, another big gift package appeared.

Fang Wei couldn't help but smile. The chances of getting a big gift pack after upgrading seemed to have increased significantly recently. This was certainly a good thing. He then checked the specific meaning of [Quality +1].

"It turns out that the quality of chicken and eggs has been improved. They taste better, have higher nutritional value, and are more delicious."

Chicken and eggs produced in poultry houses are already excellent. After all, they are free-range chickens, much better than those raised in industrial farms. Now that the quality has been improved on this basis, it is foreseeable that they will be very popular in the future.

Then he upgraded the [Compost Yard], which also consumed 500 million points.

[Temporary facilities] → [Production facilities] → [Composting sites (No. 1-13)]

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

[Facility Attributes: Disinfection and Sterilization, Comprehensive Fermentation, Enhanced Efficacy, Easy to Absorb, Quality +1]

[Composting in this building increases all attributes by an additional 65%]

Total points: 13492580.
