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

Zhang Wenyuan and his men took over the repair shop. They originally thought it would need to be demolished and rebuilt, but they didn't expect it could be reused.

So he excitedly pulled Fang Wei and the others over and explained his plan in detail.

“That works too. Of course, it would be better if we could get things done with less money. You guys hurry up and clear this place out and renovate it. Write a report on what kind of machinery and equipment you need and purchase them as soon as possible.”

Fang Wei didn't dwell on such a trivial matter and immediately agreed to Zhang Wenyuan's plan.

At the same time, he also reached an agreement with 16 other brigades, with each of them contributing 5 yuan and the Xiatang brigade contributing 10 yuan to jointly establish a hardware factory.

The operation and management are the responsibility of the Xiatang Brigade, and the other 16 brigades do not participate.

Fang Wei told Zheng Hu to keep a close eye on things when he had time, while he himself completely let go and wanted to see just how capable Zhang Wenyuan really was.

Time flies.

The hardware factory quickly completed the renovation of the factory area and the installation of machinery and equipment, and began to operate.

Zhang Wenyuan decided to start by producing small items, such as nails, screws, door latches, chain locks, etc., and then begin producing small tools once the business stabilized.

Fang Wei wasn't idle either; the coordination group was recently holding meetings to discuss developing the forestry economy of each brigade.

“Our Xiatang brigade has a rich variety of tree seedlings, and we can also help you develop an overall plan. At most, you can benefit from the forestry economy in three years.”

Fang Wei painted a picture of a future plan for everyone, and the leaders of each brigade thought it was a good idea.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and then there will be continuous gains. No one can refuse such a good thing.

According to his plan, all brigades would plant camellia trees, as this was essential for everyone's cooking oil supply. Then, each brigade could choose to plant citrus, precious trees, chestnut trees, or other valuable timber, depending on their actual situation.

The teams were too lazy to go through all that trouble, so they all chose to plant the same species as the Xiatang Brigade, namely camellia trees, chestnut trees, and precious trees such as yew, silver fir, and nanmu.

As for under-forest economy, the choices vary; some choose under-forest breeding, while others choose under-forest planting.

Overall, the forestry economy of the 17 major brigades has maintained consistency, thus forming a certain scale.

The afforestation work in each brigade immediately commenced. The Xiatang brigade provided the plan and saplings, as well as technical support. The overall operation was fully managed by the [Coordination Group], further strengthening the collaboration among the 17 brigadees.

Fang Wei also took the opportunity to include all the brigade's woodland within the designated area, which meant that his source of points increased significantly. The farmland, woodland, and sideline income of the 17 brigades could all contribute points to him.

Of course, the current alliance is still very fragile, and these designated areas will disappear once the coordination group is disbanded.

Therefore, Fang Wei's core base is still the Xiatang Brigade, and he has only taken the first step in expansion.

As the weather gets hotter, good news has come from the region.

Thanks to Zhu Minghui's efforts, the [Nanguang 326] tobacco variety passed the national review and was established as a high-quality new tobacco variety, thus enabling its widespread promotion.

With continuous cultivation in the Yao village, the seeds of the new tobacco variety are slowly accumulating, and it is estimated that all production teams in the entire commune can plant one season of this new tobacco variety.

【Nanguang 326】is characterized by a short growth cycle, high yield, strong resistance, and excellent quality, which can definitely increase the competitiveness of tobacco produced in the local city.

Once fully implemented, the county-level and regional cigarette factories will be the first to benefit.

"Director Zhu, thank you so much! This year we will plant [Nanguang 326] on a large scale, and it will definitely be a great success."

During the call, Fang Wei repeatedly expressed her gratitude to Zhu Minghui.

"Look at what you're saying, I should be thanking you. I'm embarrassed to say it, but I've benefited a lot from your help."

"Director Zhu, no need for formalities. I will continue to work hard."

The two then ended the call, both expressing their desire to expand and strengthen [Nanguang 326].

Especially Zhu Minghui, he can't do anything now, he's hampered at every turn, and it's impossible for him to do anything at all.

However, [Nanguang 326] successfully passed the review, which means he has achieved a great success. Even if he is not secure in his current position, returning to the tobacco bureau as a full-time employee would be a good option.

Fang Wei needs to solidify his halo by introducing new tobacco varieties to prevent anyone from trying to bring him down.

When conditions are right, he will send several new vegetable varieties for evaluation. He is no longer satisfied with the title of rice breeding expert, but is preparing to obtain the title of "agricultural breeding expert".

He gradually began to realize that his actions were not simply to avoid trouble, but rather because the tide of the times had reached a point where a choice had to be made, and he was already preparing for the future.

this day.

Fang Weiyi had gone to the commune long ago because he had received news from Zhang Wenyuan that a large quantity of produce would be made today.

After arriving at the commune, he went straight to the hardware factory.

Zhang Wenyuan, all smiles, accompanied him on a tour of the production process before inspecting the various products that had been produced.

“These little gadgets are selling very well. We have contacted commercial departments in many places before, and at least three municipal-level commercial units are willing to purchase from us.”

Zhang Wenyuan chose a good entry point; even small items sold well, and the factory's product quality was excellent, showing that his year in Guangzhou was not wasted.

Of course, the current product needs huge sales volume to make money; this is just the beginning.

"You did a great job, keep it up."

Fang Wei nodded in satisfaction, feeling that she hadn't misjudged Zhang Wenyuan; he really was a good candidate.

The hardware factory was designated as such, and the facility is currently at level 1 and has not been upgraded yet.

Afterwards, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought some things, and returned to the team.

the next day.

The team has opened up the purchase of high-quality pig breeds, and now the spotted pigs of Xiatang Brigade have become the first choice for many places to introduce high-quality pig breeds. This breed of pig is characterized by its delicious meat, fast fattening, short production cycle, and strong resistance to various diseases, making it very popular.

This is a limited supply, only 3000 high-quality pigs, and once they're sold out, they're gone. If you want to buy more, you'll have to wait until at least the end of the year.

[New pigs born, points +849000]

Total points: 6910550.

The pig farm has 1160 pigs left, including 300 sows that are about to give birth.

Taking advantage of some free time recently, Fang Wei led a few people to Sanqing Temple with some supplies.

The Sanqing Temple remained deserted, but Sun Daoren's two disciples were doing better than before. In addition to occasional financial assistance from Fang Wei and Sun Daoren, their farmland had yielded consecutive bumper harvests.

No one comes here to cause trouble anymore, but ordinary people don't dare to come up the mountain to draw lots or burn incense.

Aside from farming, the two spent most of their time on spiritual practice, which they found quite enjoyable.

After previous renovations, the Sanqing Temple no longer looks so dilapidated; instead, it has gained a unique charm.

"Secretary Fang, thank you so much! We feel really bad for troubling you to come all this way into the mountains." "We're all family, no need for formalities."

Fang Wei smiled and waved his hand, then went to look around the main hall and the back mountain.

It was indeed quite far from here; a round trip would take at least two days and one night. So we stayed overnight at the Taoist temple and only started our journey home after breakfast the next day.

When Master Sun learned that his two disciples were both well, he felt relieved.

He can't go back yet, but he always misses it.

at night.

Fang Wei had a deep conversation with his wife, and as a result, he was no longer sleepy.

Pan Lianhua quickly fell asleep, so he quietly got up and went to his study to read for a while. Suddenly, he remembered that the hardware factory hadn't been upgraded yet, so he started playing an upgrade game.

The attribute bonuses are also very effective for facilities.

For example, the rapid development of bamboo ware factories in the past two years is partly due to this.

Fang Wei spent 6666660 points to upgrade the [Hardware Factory] to level 13.

Temporary facilities → Production facilities → Hardware factory

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

[Facility attributes: Improve labor productivity, enhance technological level, increase yield rate, reduce production costs, improve management level, and increase design and development success rate.]

[Working within this building grants an additional 65% to all attributes and increases sales volume by 1].

Total points: 243890.

The hardware factory and the bamboo ware factory have similar attributes. This time, he also got a big gift pack and obtained [Bestseller +1].

This means that the products produced by the hardware factory will not have to worry about selling from the beginning. There will be a steady stream of orders flowing into the factory, and the factory only needs to be responsible for production and ensuring product quality.

To be honest, if it weren't for his cheat-like abilities, he might not have bothered with such a thing.

the next day.

The sales staff sent out by the hardware factory received a large number of orders, and even Zheng Hu had to sigh that Zhang Wenyuan was really lucky.

Fang Wei remained silent, knowing exactly what was going on.

Zhang Wenyuan is indeed very capable, but the fact that the hardware factory was so successful right after it started operating is obviously not due to the other party's efforts.

The various brigades began to continuously send surplus labor to the hardware factory, and before long, the number of employees in the factory exceeded 50 and was moving towards 100.

Just then, the high-yield peanut seeds cultivated by each brigade matured.

The coordination group organized personnel to conduct detailed reviews of each team. Fang Wei personally led the team and ultimately concluded that the high-yield peanut seeds cultivated by each team were successful.

This season, the 17 production brigades planted a total of 3.5 mu of peanut seeds, with a total yield of 2275 million jin.

The local purchasing department couldn't handle over 20 million kilograms of peanut seeds in one go. Fortunately, these units are self-sufficient, and with coordination from higher authorities, many purchasing units from other regions eventually participated in the acquisition.

The 17 teams collectively earned over 5000 million yuan.

The Xiatang brigade harvested a total of 117 million jin of high-yield peanut seeds, generating an income of 269.10 million yuan.

Previously, the high-yield cash crop seeds produced by Xiatang Brigade were always in short supply. A significant amount of these seeds even ended up on the black market, fetching double the price.

Fang Wei and his team naturally couldn't sell in small batches. Selling to the purchasing station in bulk would result in a slight loss in price, but it would save them a lot of trouble.

"Secretary Fang, thank you so much for your help! Without your and Xiatang Brigade's selfless assistance, we wouldn't have been able to successfully cultivate high-yield peanut seeds and reap such a large cash harvest all at once."

After finishing up with sales matters, the coordination team finally held a plenary meeting.

Before the meeting began, the leaders of each team expressed their gratitude to Fang Wei and the Xiatang Brigade.

Everyone is very fortunate that each brigade seized the opportunity when offered a chance. If they had hesitated even a little back then, they would probably be left with only envy now.

"Let's skip the formalities and talk about the next season's cash crop production plan. My suggestion is that we start cultivating high-yield soybean seeds. Does anyone have any objections?"

Fang Wei smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to get down to business.

He then explained his plan: in the next season, all the teams would cultivate high-yield soybean seeds, and in the final season, they would plant [Nanguang 326] flue-cured tobacco.

"No objections, we'll all listen to Secretary Fang."

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they were willing to follow Fang Wei's arrangements.

Besides trust, they have now tasted the benefits and naturally will not go against Fang Wei.

"Okay! Let's decide on that. The daily production affairs will be handled by the coordination team, and Captain Zheng Hu will make the arrangements. There won't be any problems."

Fang Wei handed over the specific tasks to the coordination team, and the meeting ended there.

It's best for the leaders of each brigade to avoid gathering together too often, lest they give others something to criticize.

Fang Wei got up and left the meeting room, returning to her team.

The coordination group meetings are held at various locations, sometimes in different brigades, making it seem like they're operating like guerrilla warfare.

A few days passed quickly.

The various brigades have successively completed the planting of soybeans and have moved on to preparations for the summer harvest.

Fang Wei was also preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival. Jiang Yufen introduced him to a sugar factory that wanted to buy a batch of ducks and promised to supply a batch of white sugar to the Xiatang Brigade at the supply price.

"Sister Yufen, thank you!"

Fang Wei was very happy. Sugar still needed to be supplied by ration coupons, and the supply for everyone throughout the year was pitifully small. It was quite good to be able to establish such a relationship.

After he got in touch with the sugar factory, he made a special trip to the commune to express his gratitude to Jiang Yufen.

"There's no need for formalities between us. I'm thinking of buying a few ducks to eat for the holiday in the next couple of days, is that alright?"

"Look at what you're saying, what could possibly be a problem with such a small thing? Just go ahead and buy as much as you want."

Over the years, Jiang Yufen has purchased countless supplies from the team, which is why she took the initiative to help.

Fang Wei didn't care about that. The other party was just buying a little for their relatives and friends; how much could it be? Anyway, every holiday, people like Jiang Yufen and Guo Yongqing would come to the team to buy things, and he had never let them down. (End of Chapter)
