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

Chapter 70 People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong.
Fang Wei's eyes were slightly closed, but his senses were monitoring the situation around him.

He has the blessing of regional attributes in the [Hunting Area], with sharp ears and eyes, comparable to a "human radar".

After a long time, he estimated at least an hour, he suddenly heard a very obvious noise.

Fang Wei quickly scurried out of the tree hole, crouching and running as fast as he could. Before he even got close, he was sure a rabbit had fallen into a trap.

This was indeed the case, and soon he caught a wild rabbit.

After collecting the prey, he reset the trap and returned to the tree hole to continue waiting.

Perhaps it was because he was generous enough to put some grain in the trap today, and he was particularly lucky, so in the next hour, he harvested a rabbit and a pheasant in succession.

"Yes, I got two rabbits and a pheasant during my trip. It's time to go back."

Fang Wei was not greedy and started his journey home with the three prey.

At this time, Zheng Hu and his companions had already gone down the mountain, and the sky was gradually getting dark.

Fang Wei quickened his pace, wanting to get home before dark.

As he walked, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Why were there so many messy footprints nearby?
He immediately became alert, took the rifle from his back and held it in his hand.

These many footprints definitely didn't belong to Zheng Hu and his group. How many people were there? Judging from the number of footprints, at least 10 people passed through this area.

"People in the team don't go up the mountain in groups. Deep in the mountains is a primeval forest. If we go around the primeval forest and walk out, we will reach the border of the neighboring province."

Fang Wei was puzzled. This place was not a major traffic route, so it was impossible for anyone to pass by.

He slowed down his pace, carefully observing the situation around him as he walked, ready to shoot at any time.

As a result, he didn't find anything unusual until he reached the foot of the mountain.

"Third brother, you're finally back! Let me tell you, we caught some bad guys today."

As soon as Fang Wei walked into the house, Zheng Hu and others ran in.

He handed the prey to his sister-in-law, put away his rifle, and then he figured out what had happened.

Zheng Hu and others waited in the woods until the afternoon and actually caught two wild rabbits.

Everyone was used to Fang Wei's elusiveness, so they didn't wait for him and went straight down the mountain with the prey.

Halfway through the journey, they met two men. When they saw Zheng Hu and others, their expressions were very unnatural.

This situation immediately aroused the vigilance of Zheng Hu and others. Just as they opened their mouths to question them, the two men pounced on them.

Zheng Hu held a hunting rifle in his hand and without even thinking, he shot one of the guys.

The guy was lucky. Zheng Hu was a little nervous and the shot hit the other person's leg.

The other person was so scared that he knelt down on the spot and was tied up by Deng Yuanen and others.

This was the first time Zheng Hu encountered such a thing. He was very panicked and sent a friend back to report the news.

When Zheng Bao arrived with the militia, he quickly interrogated the two men and found out their identities. It turned out that they had come to the village to scout the area and planned to steal food from the barn at night.

It is said that they have several accomplices.

"Is our second team's reputation so great? Are they being targeted by the bad guys in Lin County?"

Fang Wei frowned after hearing this. He didn't believe that this gang had acted on impulse.

At this time, Fang Ping said, "Third Brother, the captain asked you to go to the team headquarters when you return."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Fang Wei didn't have time to continue chatting with Zheng Hu and the others, and immediately went to the team headquarters.

Zheng Xianfa and several team leaders were all there, all of them looked worried, nowhere to be seen the high-spirited look they had before.

"Captain, are you looking for me?"

"Come, little scholar, sit down. You know everything that happened today, right? Tell me, what do you think?" "What can I think? People are afraid of being famous, just like pigs are afraid of being fat. But even so, we can't divide up all the rice. We still have to do something practical.

By the way, I heard that those two thieves had an accomplice, have they been caught?"

Fang Wei didn't think it was a good idea to distribute all the rice in the barn to the members.

At this stage, everyone relies on the production team as a collective to make a living. Only when the collective grows stronger can the members have a future.

It is a rare opportunity to make a fortune, but it is not advisable to spend it all. Instead, we should take the opportunity to strengthen the strength of the production team.

As the saying goes, if you don't plan for the future, you will have immediate worries. He believes that Zheng Xianfa can also see this problem.

In addition, he also asked about today's case.

"They can't get away. The county has already sent people to capture them and send them to be shot. I also think we can't distribute all the food. You said we need to do something practical, so let's discuss it."

Zheng Xianfa was not well educated, but he knew how to use people wisely. He wanted to hear what the "little scholar" had to say.
Fang Wei talked about several aspects. First, the means of production need to be updated, second, the construction of farmland water conservancy facilities needs to be strengthened, and finally, sideline businesses need to be vigorously developed.

If a workman wants to be good, he must first sharpen his weapon.

New agricultural machinery and tools need to be added and old ones repaired, and improving labor efficiency is never out of date in any era.

The team's oxen are starting to age, so it's appropriate to introduce a few buffaloes.

The irrigation canals need to be repaired, the pigpen area needs to be expanded, and new poultry houses need to be built.

The collection and composting of fertilizers are urgent, and the investment in developing side businesses must be guaranteed.

"Little scholar, you are really good. You speak very logically. Don't run around these few days. Let's do some practical things together."

After listening to this, Zheng Xianfa laughed and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

After all, he is an educated person, and the suggestions he made are well-organized and highly practical.

Fang Wei secretly curled his lips. Who doesn't know how to spend money? As long as they are not a spendthrift, they will think about strengthening the collective strength first. This is the true meaning of "sustainable development".

When he returned home later, his sister-in-law had already prepared [Pheasant and Taro]. He ate two bowls of rice in a row before he filled his stomach.

How long has it been since I've eaten so carefree? At this moment, Fang Wei felt that all his previous efforts had paid off.

Next, he witnessed the team's lavish spending.

In short, you can't leave too much rice, as leaving too much will be a disaster.

So Zheng Xianfa used the rice to exchange for 6 calves and 30 piglets from other production teams. He also hired people to rebuild the pigpen and threshing ground and built a new granary in exchange for the rice.

The supply and marketing cooperative even came to our door specifically and offered preferential terms, exchanging a batch of farm tools and implements for some rice.

After all, it was a unit-to-unit situation, so even if there were minor inconveniences, they could be dealt with. These days, whoever had food was the boss; food was hard currency, more useful than cash.

Rice was being scooped out of the barn like water, and the team's strength was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

this day.

Tang Ze called Zheng Xianfa and Fang Wei to the commune.

One of them is the team leader, and the other is the team leader's "senior advisor". With them around, matters concerning the second team can be decided on the spot.

"Old Zheng, such precious grain fell into your hands, and within a few days, most of it went to waste. How much rice is left in your granary?"

When Tang Ze saw the two of them, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

But I still admire their decisiveness in handling things.

If we just divide it up and eat it all, it will only satisfy our temporary appetite and will not help to completely change the appearance of the production team.

Zheng Xianfa and his men were able to look to the future and exchange most of their rice for supplies to increase the collective strength, which really gave him a surprise.
