[Please note that the existing peanut varieties are about to reach their upper limit of yield per mu, which is 600-650 kilograms per mu]

Information then came that existing peanut varieties were about to reach their production limits.

Fang Wei has become accustomed to this situation, and he does not plan to plant peanuts on a large scale in the team because there are not enough dry fields in the team.

In his plan, in addition to staple food, the main cash crops are soybeans and flue-cured tobacco.

The soybean planting area can be expanded later, but he has not yet started cultivating flue-cured tobacco.

"Brother, I plan to keep 140 kilograms of seeds, stir-fry 200 kilograms to eat, and press the remaining 200 kilograms into oil."

I don’t plan to sell the peanuts, so I’ll fry some so I can share them with my friends and family.

You can also squeeze out more peanut oil and save it for later consumption.

"You have the final say on this matter! By the way, Third Brother, what are you going to plant in the valley next?"

Since Fang Ping let his third brother be the head of the family, he would let the other party make the decisions and he would generally not express his opinions.

But he immediately started thinking about what to plant next season. He was very persistent about this kind of thing.

"Didn't we say this before? Let's plant soybeans. We need to make more money."

There is no problem in planting soybeans for three seasons, but it is best not to plant them continuously on the same piece of land, and rotation is needed.

Peanuts were planted this season, and it would be just right to plant soybeans next season.

Fang Ping nodded. He also thought growing soybeans was a good idea.

However, summer planting was about to begin, so Fang Ping took some time to tidy up the land in the valley and apply base fertilizer.

Leave the land as it is for now and plant soybeans after the summer planting.

After the early rice production of Team 2 came out, the other production teams also completed their statistical work.

Tang Ze looked at the statistical report and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

All production teams that planted the [Nan Guang No. 1] rice seeds saw a significant increase in their summer harvest yields this year.

Among them, the production teams that planted the first-generation rice variety [Nan Guang No. 1] generally saw their yields increase by more than 30%.

The production teams that planted the second-generation rice seeds [Nanguang No. 1], such as Team 1 and Yao Village, saw their yields increase by more than 50%.

This is a huge achievement. Even if the second team has a higher output, it is only an individual phenomenon. What Tang Ze values most is universality.

Facts have proved that the rice variety "Nan Guang No. 1" developed by Fang Wei and his breeding team has the advantages of strong adaptability and stable genetic characteristics, and is very suitable for large-scale promotion.

[Nanguang No. 1] and Fang Wei can be said to have become gods in one fell swoop.

Tang Ze was a man who dared to act. He immediately convened a meeting of commune cadres and required all production teams to plant [Nan Guang No. 1] late rice.

At the meeting, there were almost no opposing voices. After all, the facts were in front of us, and anyone who was not stupid could make the right choice.

"Secretary Tang, although we have carried out a pilot program for early rice, I'm afraid the amount of rice seeds we will have for the next few years will be insufficient."

Some people raised such concerns, but Tang Ze did not take them seriously.

The production team that planted the [Nan Guang No. 1] rice seeds last season should be able to select a large amount of rice seeds this season.

Zheng Xianfa's team still has more than 90,000 kilograms of rice. Isn't that enough to share?

"All the teams should coordinate and make a count of the seed shortage. Then we can go back and exchange the grain with Zheng Xianfa and his men."

There are always more solutions than problems. Tang Ze asked everyone to use their brains and not worry about the immediate gains and losses.

After the late rice harvest is large-scale, each production team will be self-sufficient in rice seeds, unless each family wants better rice seeds.

The commune focuses on basic output, and it is enough as long as the basic output is guaranteed.

As for those production teams that actively seek progress, they should find their own ways.

After the commune set the tone, all the brigades and teams became busy.

There are strict requirements for late rice planting this year. All production teams under the Yaoling Commune must choose high-yield rice varieties.

The old branch secretary felt very fortunate that the production teams of the brigade had planted [Nan Guang No. 1] on a large scale last season.

In the future, each team will have enough rice seeds, which will also reduce everyone's burden.

After all, changing rice seeds is a huge burden. 2000 kilograms of rice seeds need to be exchanged for 20000 kilograms of rice, which is not easy for any production team.

"Your second team isn't having the same good time as before. Last autumn, you easily harvested hundreds of thousands of kilograms of rice by changing the seeds. I don't think that's going to happen this year."

The old branch secretary called a meeting of the team leaders of each production team to arrange the upcoming summer planting work.

At the meeting, he joked with Zheng Xianfa.

"No, there's nothing I can do."

Zheng Xianfa did not argue, but accepted the result calmly.

This made the old branch secretary very confused. Is this just the short Zheng who would argue even if it was unreasonable?

After the meeting, Zheng Xianfa left as soon as possible, as if he didn't want to stay for a moment.

"Zheng the Shorty, why are you running so fast? Wait for me, I have something to tell you."

The captain of Team One caught up and ran up to them, breathing heavily.

"Wei Tuozi, your physical strength is so poor? You're so tired after running just a few steps. Are you busy tilling your wife's fields every day and your body is weak?"

Zheng Xianfa never said anything nice, which made Wei Guanghua so angry that he rolled his eyes.

"Go away, you can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth! I want to talk to you about something serious. Did the young scholar come up with the third generation of rice seeds? You have to leave me two thousand kilograms."

"You already have second-generation rice seeds, but you're still switching to third-generation rice seeds? Your team is already well-off! I promise you, this is okay, right?"

Zheng Xianfa blinked his eyes and wondered what Wei Guanghua was up to.

Wei Tuozi never suffers a loss, and he has so much money that he can't spend it all, so why does he have to fight continuously?
Perhaps, the other party will sell some second-generation rice seeds, so that the income and expenditure will be balanced, and maybe even make a profit.

Zheng Xianfa immediately figured out the other party's tricks, but instead of exposing them, he agreed to the other party's request.

When all production teams began to plant new rice seeds on a large scale, each family would keep the seeds, so exchanging rice for good seeds was a one-time deal and could not be sustained.

Wei Guanghua wanted to grab the last sip of soup, so let him do it.

the next day.

The one who arrived at the second team early was not Wei Guanghua, but Pan Lianhua from the Yao village.

Pan Lianhua and her brothers and sisters happily walked into the village carrying a slaughtered fat pig.

The leading brother led the team to the team headquarters, while Pan Lianhua carried 20 kilograms of cut pork and came to the Fang family.

"Lotus sister, what are you doing?"

Tian Guihua seemed very happy about Pan Lianhua's arrival.

But when the other party took out 20 kilograms of pork, she was a little confused.

It was polite to bring something when you visited someone, but to give them 20 kilograms of pork was a bit unreasonable, so she quickly declined. "Sister-in-law, Third Brother has been a great help to our village, you must accept this little bit of pork."

The lotus flower showed that it was to thank Fang Wei, and Tian Guihua didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.

Fortunately, she didn't have to worry about it, as Fang Wei walked in from outside.

"Sister, I was busy raising rice seedlings just now. I heard that you were here, so I hurried back to see you."

Fang Wei greeted Pan Lianhua with a smile. Tian Guihua pointed to the pork in the basket and turned to make tea.

"Brother Fang, the village has a bumper summer harvest. Grandpa and the captain asked me to bring you some pork. If you're busy, I'll have a cup of tea and leave so I don't interfere with your work."

The village had a bumper rice harvest. Although the yield was not as high as that of the second team due to the terraced fields, it was still 360 kilograms per mu.

What does this mean? It’s more than double the previous output, a figure we couldn’t even imagine before.

Thanks to Fang Wei's help, the village planted the second-generation rice seeds [Nanguang No. 1], and everyone in the Yao village was very grateful to him.

What's more, this rice seed was developed by him, which makes it even more admirable.

That's why Grandpa and the captain sent Pan Lianhua to deliver the pork.

"It's okay. Someone's busy over there. It doesn't matter whether I'm there or not. Grandpa and everyone else are so polite. I didn't do anything, but you still keep thinking about me."

Fang Wei did not refuse, but just said a few polite words.

Pan Lianhua smiled and said no more.

After a while, Tian Guihua brought tea, peanuts and some food.

Fang Wei asked her to take the pork inside to process it because the weather was hot and it would be bad if the pork was left out for too long.

The two chatted while drinking tea. After finishing a bowl of tea, Pan Lianhua said that he wanted to go to the team headquarters and insisted on taking Fang Weiyi with him.

When he arrived at the team headquarters, he knew why the other party insisted on dragging him along.

The village sent a pig, and Zheng Xianfa accepted it, but insisted on paying for it. Pork was very valuable these days, and it didn't make sense for him to take something for free. After all, a pig wasn't cheap.

The people from the village disagreed, saying how could they accept money for gifts?

The two sides had been arguing for a long time, and when they were at a stalemate, Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua walked in together.

"Captain, this is a kind gesture from someone, so just accept it. The village just happens to need third-generation rice seeds, so if you give them a discount, everyone will be happy, right?"

Fang Wei didn't need Pan Lianhua's advice and took the initiative to help both sides out of the predicament.

He now began to admire his grandfather, who was very cautious before doing anything and would take the lead in everything once he made a decision.

Many production teams are still focusing on the first generation of rice seeds [Nan Guang No. 1], especially those planted in the previous season. Now that they have their own seeds, they are unwilling to spend the cost to introduce new rice seeds.

Not everyone has the same vision as Wei Guanghua and Grandpa.

Currently, the team has more than 9000 kilograms of the third-generation rice seeds [Nan Guang No. 3000]. The team must keep at least 2000 kilograms, and 4000 kilograms must be left for Team One. The remaining amount is at most kilograms.

Zheng Xianfa originally wanted to leave it to those with connections, such as the production team of Tian Guihua's mother and the production team where Fang Mei worked, because they never failed to observe proper etiquette during festivals and holidays.

Now that there is one more Yao village, three generations of rice seeds are not enough to go around.

"Little scholar, logically I shouldn't refuse your respect, but I've already promised them in advance, and I really can't spare the time."

No wonder Zheng Xianfa refused to take the pork for free. It turned out that he had anticipated this situation.

But he couldn't let Fang Wei be embarrassed, so he had to stand up and be the bad guy.

Fang Wei was stunned when he heard this. Zheng Xianfa had not told him about this. He originally thought that three generations of rice seeds would be enough.

"Captain Zheng, since there aren't enough [Nanguang No. 58] units available, give us [Nongken No. ] units. The village wants to try growing japonica rice in the late season."

Just when Fang Wei was thinking about how to help the Yao Village grab some market share, Pan Lianhua smiled and spoke.

She said that if there was no third-generation rice seed of [Nanguang No. 58], she would have to have [Nongken ] japonica rice. Others were not used to eating japonica rice, but the people in the village were not picky.

"Are you really planning to plant [Nongken 58]?"

Fang Weiyi always felt that "early dwarf and late japonica" was the best choice. After all, it had been proven in history, although in another time and space.

According to the output of the experimental fields in the past two years, [Nongken 58] has a higher yield and stronger disease resistance, and he personally feels that it tastes better too.

The locals don’t like japonica rice, it’s just a matter of eating habits.

He became excited when he heard Pan Lianhua say that the Yao village was planning to plant japonica rice for late rice.

"It's true. Grandpa specifically told us before we came out."

Pan Lianhua gave an affirmative answer with a firm attitude.

"Look, we've been talking about two different things, haven't we? If the village is [Nongken 58], I can agree now, and I can also give you a discount, 9 kilograms of rice for kilogram of rice seeds."

Zheng Xianfa was so cunning that he immediately realized that this was an opportunity.

No one wants to exchange the japonica rice in the team, so if it remains, it will either be used as public grain or distributed as food rations. Now that someone is exchanging it, the income will increase several times.

Considering that the other party was so polite, he took the initiative to lower the exchange rate. In fact, he was afraid that the people in the Yao village would go back on their word.

"Captain Zheng, I know that no production team here is willing to grow japonica rice, so you have to give us a better deal."

However, Pan Lianhua did not buy it and continued to bargain with the other party.

"So what exchange rate do you think is appropriate?"

Zheng Xianfa looked at Pan Lianhua again and knew that this beautiful girl was not easy to deceive.

It is not impossible to lower the ratio a little, but he will not give in easily, so he lets the other party make an offer.

"I'll exchange 8 jin for 1 jin. Once the autumn harvest is fruitful, I can also help you spread the fame of [Nongken 58]."

He knew when to play the lotus and did not bid excessively.

Zheng Xianfa thought about it for a while, called the house aside and whispered a few words, and finally agreed to the other party's offer.

8 jin of rice can be exchanged for 1 jin of [Nongken 58] rice seeds. The Yao village needs a total of 2000 jin of seeds.

After both parties reached an agreement, everyone was happy.

Zheng Xianfa accepted a pig brought by everyone and promised that if there were any problems in the process of growing japonica rice, the breeding team could send someone to provide guidance.

There are quite a few people coming to the Yao village today. Zheng Xianfa arranged meals for the members, and the money and food were provided by the team.

Pan Lianhua naturally went to Fang Wei's house for dinner. This did not need to be reimbursed by the team and was a normal social interaction.

"Sister, I'm afraid you've thought about it a long time ago, right? That's not bad. Finally, someone is willing to plant [Nongken 58]. You guys are really good at foresight."

While eating, Fang Wei praised Pan Lianhua highly.

The girl felt a little embarrassed, because in fact, it was all grandpa's idea.

After dinner, the people from the village went to the granary. Zheng Xianfa asked them to take 2000 kilograms of japonica rice seeds back directly.

Just wait and send 16000 kilograms of rice back. It’s a collective to collective relationship, so there’s no need to worry about anyone defaulting on their debt.
