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

The sideline production teams were abolished, and the 18th Brigade (Forestry Brigade) and the 19th Brigade (Agricultural Machinery Brigade) were established. The primary schools in the various brigades were merged, retaining 6 primary schools, and the schools' hardware and software facilities were strengthened.

The nursery model will be promoted, with 5 new nurseries built, plus the existing nursery in Xiatang Brigade (Brigade 1), making a total of 6 nurseries.

Sixteen new medical clinics have been established to ensure that each brigade has one, and the rural cooperative medical system will continue to be explored.

"Comrades, we have a heavy task ahead of us, but we must not rush things and must implement each task one by one. We must not be too hasty and lose our way."

The most urgent task is spring planting. I suggest we begin full-scale cultivation of the "Nanguang No. 3" rice variety this season. This variety has already been proven to have higher yield and quality than the "Nanguang No. 2" variety.

There are priorities, and the most important thing right now is spring planting.

Fang Wei plans to start producing the "Nanguang No. 3" rice variety this season. This variety has already matured, but he only made it public relatively late. Therefore, there is no risk in planting this variety; on the contrary, it will increase profits.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

This year's production plan was approved at the council meeting. Fang Wei had the Yao village send the required rice seeds, and the already famous "Nanguang No. 3" rice seed officially entered the promotion stage.

Before spring planting, the various production brigades harvested rapeseed, yielding 700 million catties of high-yield rapeseed seeds.

去年合作社各大队一共收获了1925万斤高产黄豆种子、2275万斤高产花生种子、2275万斤烤烟以及35万斤【南光326】烤烟种子。

Regarding rice seeds, including the output of the breeding center, a total of 132 million catties of [Nanguang No. 2] rice seeds were harvested.

The total output value of the 17 production teams alone, focusing on cultivating high-yield seeds, exceeded 2 million yuan.

According to the cooperative's agreement, Xiatang Brigade (Team 1) could receive 4000 million yuan. This figure is staggering, demonstrating that the profits from breeding are quite substantial.

Of course, this is just an example. The cooperative's profits will be calculated from the start of this year's spring planting. Profits before that will be distributed among the individual teams.

In any case, all assets promised in the signed agreement must be in place, including cash assets, and no credit will be granted.

Fang Wei also made a large profit.

Total points: 526534320.

Fang Wei has not upgraded the project yet. The cooperative will add some facilities next, and we will talk about it after these facilities are completed.

Time flies.

Spring plowing began in the blink of an eye.

The agricultural machinery team, in charge of all the agricultural machinery, rumbled into the fields.

The commune also sent some agricultural machinery to provide support, and all 8 mu of paddy fields and 3.5 mu of dry fields were mechanized, saving a lot of manpower and time.

Next comes sowing and seedling cultivation. This season, the entire cooperative has shifted its focus to cultivating the "Nanguang No. 3" rice variety. 10,000 mu of dry land has been converted to cultivate various vegetable seeds, while the remaining 25,000 mu of dry land will continue to cultivate high-yield peanut seeds.

The cultivation of some peanut seeds has been appropriately reduced because the market demand is currently weak, and various regions have successively introduced some high-yield peanut varieties, which has reduced the team's competitiveness.

Currently, the second team has opened up a new experimental field, and the breeding group is screening the next generation of high-yield peanut and high-yield soybean varieties in order to maintain its leading position.

Fang Wei looked around at each brigade and found nothing wrong, then went to the Yao village.

"Third Brother, I rejected the idea of ​​dividing the land among households as you suggested. For now, we are still adopting the collective economy model."

The higher-ups didn't say anything, but those eyeing our rice seeds were getting restless again, planning to buy our breeding technology in one go.

Wang Songlin's eyes held a hint of resentment, mainly because Fang Wei had taken the lead in establishing an agricultural cooperative but hadn't included the village in it.

If the Yao village had also become a member of the cooperative, probably not so many people would have been interested in rice seeds.

“Next time someone causes trouble, have them come to me. I’ll write an authorization letter to the village authorizing you to cultivate the Nongyou 76 rice variety.”

Fang Wei is the inventor and technology owner of the [Nongyou 76] rice variety. He hadn't had time to deal with those guys before.

Now that the overall situation is settled, it's time to confront those who want to seize power through trickery and force.

"Third Brother, won't doing this put too much pressure on you?"

Wang Songlin was starting to feel the pressure. Those people weren't just acting tough; they had connections and many influential figures were speaking up for them.

Now that Fang Wei was willing to take on the pressure, he felt relieved but also a little embarrassed.

"It's alright, I'll have to face these things sooner or later!"

Fang Wei smiled and offered Wang Songlin a few words of comfort.

When it comes to rice seeds, no amount of pleading will make a difference. He has no intention of becoming an official or the richest man, so there's no need for him to swallow his anger.

He also holds the title of a national representative, so he won't be easily manipulated by others when something happens.

The two went for a walk in the fields, then visited the pig farm and the bamboo forest. Fang Wei felt that she had nothing to say.

Wang Songlin handled the production aspect very well, so he basically didn't have to worry about it.

noon.

Wang Songlin's wife prepared the meal and ran to the bamboo grove to call them back for dinner.

"Let's go back and have a few drinks."

Fang Wei thanked Wang Songlin's wife, and then walked home with Wang Songlin.

Halfway there, they met a woman who was looking for them. She said that guests had come to the village and were waiting at the team headquarters.

Wang Songlin and Fang Wei shook their heads and then went to the team headquarters.

"I am Wang Songlin, the person in charge of the village. May I ask where you two are from?" There were only two guests, a man and a woman, who looked to be in their early thirties.

Wang Songlin first introduced himself, and then asked the other party where he came from.

"Hello, Captain Wang! My surname is Wu and hers is Gu. We are staff members of the regional seed company. We are here today to discuss the distribution of the [Nongyou 76] rice seed with you."

The speaker was a man surnamed Wu, who claimed to be an employee of the regional seed company.

The other party didn't waste any words and stated their purpose directly after sitting down.

Fang Wei remained silent, while Wang Songlin, clearly unfamiliar with seed companies, looked puzzled. He instinctively glanced at Fang Wei, seeking her assistance.

Many people are unaware of this. Like the supply and marketing system, the seed company operates as a separate, top-down system. This unit was only established last year and is under the Ministry of Agriculture, currently sharing offices with the Seed Bureau, which is also under the Ministry.

Previously, seed acquisition and purchase were generally handled through supply and marketing cooperatives. In the future, once seeds and grains are separated, seed companies will have sales outlets all over the country.

Currently, the company's main business scope is trade and foreign cooperation; it will take several years before it can cultivate its own seeds.

"The total yield of the [Nongyou 76] rice variety produced in the village is not high. In the past, it was all sold to the purchasing station. If we sell it to you, what price will you offer? In addition, there is the issue of grain quota supply. Can you solve that?"

Unable to explain to Wang Songlin clearly in a short time, Fang Wei simply took the liberty of speaking directly to him.

Wu Jun and Gu Xiaohong were a little surprised. They exchanged a glance, but didn't want to directly ask Fang Wei why he had interrupted. They had just introduced him as the Party Secretary of another brigade, and he hadn't been shy at all.

Wang Songlin was quite surprised to find that the two of them didn't know who Fang Wei was.

"I forgot to mention earlier that Secretary Fang is the inventor of [Nongyou 76]. The village was authorized to cultivate this rice variety, so his words can fully represent me."

Wu Jun and Gu Xiaohong couldn't help but feel a deep sense of respect, and only then did they connect Secretary Fang with that breeding genius.

"Secretary Fang, my apologies! We didn't react immediately and didn't realize who you were. We recently had a stock price for the [Nongyou 76] rice variety, which is approximately 1.40-1.48 yuan per jin depending on the grade."

Furthermore, providing a fixed amount of grain to breeding units is a policy from above. If you sell your rice seeds to our company, you will receive the same grain supply quota.

Facing a big name in the breeding industry, Wu Jun didn't dare to play any tricks and directly quoted the actual price.

Fang Wei nodded, quite satisfied with the price.

"The rice seeds from the village are of good quality, so at 1.48 yuan per jin, the price is acceptable. If there are no changes in the grain supply, then we'll sell them to you. However, the rice seeds produced in the village have always had regular customers. Can you guarantee that?"

"Of course we can. We are distributors. Once we buy rice seeds, we naturally want to sell them. It doesn't matter who we sell to."

The two sides reached an agreement in a few words, and everyone was happy.

Fang Wei felt that the acquisition and sale of seeds would ultimately belong to the seed company, so it was fine to deal with them since it was something that couldn't be avoided anyway.

As for the rice seeds produced by the Yaoling Seed Industry Cooperative, since they didn't mention them, Fang Wei naturally wouldn't say anything more. The seed company is currently in the early stages of business development, and it will take a few years of transition before it can fully take over the seed business.

Wu Jun and Gu Xiaohong quickly said goodbye and left, while Fang Wei and Wang Songlin went back to eat.

in the afternoon.

Fang Wei returned to the team and saw Zhao Jinsheng leading people to clean the office.

After the brigade is dissolved, the former brigade headquarters will become the headquarters of the Yaoling Seed Industry Rural Cooperative. Currently, a few offices are temporarily available for the cooperative's use. In a few days, the Xiatang brigade headquarters will move to the educated youth dormitory of the Second Brigade.

Since the higher authorities have not issued an explicit order to abolish the brigade, this sign must be retained.

However, in reality, the cooperative has replaced most of the brigade's functions, and the power to make production and management decisions has effectively fallen to the cooperative.

Fang Wei greeted Zhao Jinsheng and then went to his office to look at documents. He didn't know how long his representative status would last, but he had to keep going as long as he was there.

For a period of time afterward, Yaoling Commune seemed to become a forgotten corner, and county leaders avoided it when they came to the countryside to inspect the work.

Everyone is happy to have some peace and quiet, so let's take this opportunity to do our own thing.

"Besides agricultural production, we have another very important task to do, which is road construction. The internal road network of each brigade was relatively complete before, and now we need to strengthen the connection between all brigades and further improve the construction of the road network."

"Old Zhao, how's the site selection for the new pig farm going? When will the renovation and expansion plan for the poultry sheds be available? Also, please finalize the distribution reform plan as soon as possible, and try to implement it starting in the second half of the year."

The council has a total of 7 members, plus some staff.

These days, there have been endless meetings, and turning each plan into reality requires a great deal of effort.

Zhao Jinsheng has been extremely busy lately, not even having time to sit down and rest for ten minutes each day, with endless things to do all day long.

Each brigade currently has one branch secretary and one brigade leader. Production teams only retain one leader and one deputy leader, with several production group leaders and one statistician under them. All other production team cadres have been eliminated.

According to Fang Wei's plan, after a period of adjustment, the cooperative society will be managed as a company.

In terms of operations, the main businesses are breeding, sideline businesses, and forestry. The ownership of the bamboo ware factory and the hardware factory will remain unchanged for the time being, but they will be gradually incorporated into the cooperative in the future.

After spring planting, everyone is busy.

A week later, construction began on a new pig farm in the 6th production brigade, with a capacity of 5 pigs. In a few years, the pig quota will be phased out, meat supplies will become more abundant, and adjustments will be made based on actual conditions.

This process will likely take another 6 to 8 years, so the team's aquaculture operations must continue.

The new pig farm has been named "Pig Farm No. 3". The construction period is four and a half months. It will introduce some advanced equipment to significantly reduce labor intensity and improve feeding efficiency.

At the same time, the former egg farms and broiler farms were renovated and expanded.

The poultry farm will expand its production scale to 5 catties of eggs per month, which will not only meet the needs of the members, but also supply surplus eggs to the market.

The broiler farm will be expanded to a scale of 10 chickens.

These projects are all related to people's livelihoods, so they were all scheduled to start construction in the first half of this year. There will be many more projects in the future. Establishing a cooperative is easy, but ultimately integrating them will take at least two years.

While Fang Wei and others were busy, the county was also actively promoting the work of distributing land to individual households.

This afternoon.

Tian Bingyi and Fang Mei arrived at Fang Wei's house, and the older sister went to the team headquarters to call Fang Wei back.

"Second sister, brother-in-law, what brings you here today?"

Fang Wei asked his sister to add a few more dishes so he could have a good drink with his second sister's husband that evening.

Then he sat down and chatted with his sister and brother-in-law.

"The team has allocated farmland, and your sister and I have also contracted a fishpond. Things have been chaotic lately, so we came to visit. The handover won't be complete for a few days." (End of Chapter)
