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

"Okay, I'll come pick you up when Xiaojie is on vacation."

The next morning, Fang Wei sent her daughter to school and then went to Yaoling Building with Pan Lianhua.

Despite their tight schedule, the two still managed to carve out a day to show Sun Daoren and their older sister around the city. Afterward, Fang Wei, Pan Lianhua, and Sun Daoren returned to the village.

Fang Wei himself found it strange. In his previous life, he had never lived in the countryside, but in this life, he was living in the countryside and did not want to leave. He couldn't figure out why.

After the group returned home, Guo Yongqing and Shen Yu also returned to the county from outside. The couple brought Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) and some local specialties to visit Fang Wei.

"Third brother, Director Sun is too kind. He not only sent vehicles to take us there and back, but also treated us to a meal. We owe him this favor, so you should repay him later."

Guo Yongqing and Fang Wei didn't stand on ceremony, but they still had many feelings about their trip to Beijing.

"Uncle Guo, there's no need for formalities between us. Director Sun and we have a long-term partnership, so you don't need to worry about it."

Fang Wei raised his glass, lightly clinked it with Guo Yongqing's, and then drank it all in one gulp.

In the end, Guo Yongqing got drunk, and Fang Wei sent someone to take them back.

"Third brother, your Uncle Guo might have some health problems. I'll take a look at him later."

Sun Daoren was also there, and through observation, it seemed that Guo Yongqing's health was not very good.

However, since everyone was in a good mood today, he didn't say anything, but he still told Fang Wei about it.

Fang Wei dared not delay, and the next day he called Guo Yongqing, asking him to take some time to go to the hospital for a check-up. Or he could come directly to see Master Sun for treatment; in short, he couldn't let his guard down.

Guo Yongqing didn't believe it, but Shen Yu was worried and took him directly to the People's Hospital for a full physical examination.

The physical examination results showed that Guo Yongqing had a liver problem, early-stage cirrhosis, but other aspects were fine.

"Old Guo, this is a problem we need to take seriously! I think we should go see Master Sun, or Western medicine would also be fine, what do you say?"

Shen Yu was very worried and urged Guo Yongqing to get proper treatment.

Whether it's Western or Traditional Chinese medicine is fine; it all depends on what your man chooses.

The next day, Guo Yongqing went to see Master Sun. Master Sun always followed the ancient saying "do not knock on the door when seeking medical treatment." He would give a reminder, but he would not take the initiative to go to someone's door to treat them.

But if Guo Yongqing comes to him, he will definitely do his best to treat him.

Master Sun took Guo Yongqing's pulse and then wrote a prescription. Fang Wei helped him get the medicine.

"Uncle Guo, take Chinese medicine for a while first, and go to the hospital for a check-up after you feel better."

Fang Wei gave Guo Yongqing a few words of advice, telling him not to spend all his time tending to the flowers and plants in the yard, but to go out for walks more often and to get some exercise.

Guo Yongqing was also shocked this time. It was hard to say what would happen if cirrhosis progressed. Fortunately, it was in the early stage, and early treatment would bring peace of mind.

From that day on, he became a regular at Sun Daoren's clinic. After taking several courses of traditional Chinese medicine, he went to the hospital for a check-up and found that his condition had improved a lot. Even the experts at the People's Hospital found it incredible.

Of course, these are all things to follow.

During this period, Fang Wei also became busy, as the entire company's production units entered the summer harvest season.

The summer harvest follows closely after the summer planting, making this the busiest time of the year. Fortunately, all units have implemented mechanized operations; otherwise, a full mobilization would probably be necessary, with men, women, and children all pitching in.

"Mr. Cai, what's been happening with New Cage lately?"

Company executives, including Cai Tong, have all come to the front lines of agricultural production, except for those who stayed behind.

The sales department and other departments also got busy. Now, all the profits of each unit need to go through the sales department before they can be sold. They don't have the right to sell on their own.

The same goes for the statistics and finance departments; they have long been involved in production practices, and their entire management model is very different from that of ordinary companies.

Fang Wei took advantage of the latest statistics to make a settlement.

Previously, no settlements had been made for crops other than rice seeds, so this is a good opportunity to make up for it.

Harvest crops, points +231000000

Harvest crops, points +6400000

Harvest crops, points +56000000

Harvest crops, points +84000000

Harvest crops, points +126000000

[Side hustle settlement, points +12000000]

Total points: 1193481400.

Fang Wei earned a large sum of points, approximately 12 billion points.

It sounds like a lot, but it's only enough to upgrade two areas (facilities) from level 16 to level 17.

His cheat system doesn't seem very powerful, but it brings extra rewards during the upgrade process, meaning it can unlock very rare attributes.

For example, the "Mutation +2" stat has brought great surprises to breeding work.

If it weren't for this rare attribute, then [Jade Fragrance 183] and [Southern Bean 333] would not exist.

This is also his secret weapon that allows him to compete with genetically modified technology, enabling Yaoling Agriculture to maintain an advantageous position in the fierce competition with NewCage.

These international giants are all ruthless and vicious. Once they find a weakness, they will definitely wipe out their opponents.

In addition, he was not fond of genetically modified crops in his previous life, and in this life he has made a great contribution to resisting this stuff.

Summer planting follows immediately after the summer harvest.

Based on the contingency plan, Fang Wei determined the production plan for the new season. This season, the production of rice seeds will continue to be reduced, while the production scale of [Yu Xiang 183] corn seeds will be maintained, with a specific planting area of ​​5 mu.

In addition, 5000 mu of dry land is used to cultivate vegetable seeds, including chili seeds.

Yaoling chili peppers no longer need to be grown by themselves; growers in various regions can fully guarantee the supply of raw materials for products such as chili sauce.

The biggest change this season is that the company has acquired 6 mu of dry land, which is specifically used to cultivate [Nan Dou 333] soybean seeds.

The yield per mu (unit of land area) of cultivating [Nan Dou 333] is approximately between 1500 and 1800 yuan per season. Based on the lowest price, and after deducting the fixed income paid to farmers, the yield per mu is between 1200 and 1500 yuan.

Based on a profit of 1200 yuan per mu, the annual profit (per mu) is 3600 yuan, and the total profit is 2.16 million yuan.

The only expense not deducted here is labor costs, but no matter how you calculate it, the annual labor costs will not exceed 1600 million yuan. In other words, the newly added 6 mu of land can bring in 2 million yuan in net income per year.

The key is that the seed supply for [Nan Dou 333] is now guaranteed, and Fang Wei has fulfilled his promise. "Secretary, this model works! Why don't we continue expanding using this model?"

Cai Tong has been staying in Xinlin County for some time. He visited the soybean breeding base in Qianjin Township and calculated the revenue from the newly added land.

He was shocked when he calculated the figures, and thus he developed even greater ambitions.

"Let's leave it at that for now. There are also opportunities to cultivate other cash crops. Let me tell you, the market for seeds of the two crops, [Yuxiang 183] and [Nandou 333], is basically saturated. We will have to stop production for at least one season next year."

Then we can cultivate soybean seeds, peanut seeds, rapeseed seeds, etc. There's no need for further expansion; we can adjust internally ourselves.

Fang Wei gave Cai Tong a breakdown of the costs and benefits, which was actually a way of telling him how to use the land properly.

Even the expansion was not for breeding, but for producing rice and other crops, but the returns were very low, so the necessity was not great.

For example, in the latest season, the company planted 30,000 mu of [Nanguang No. 4], 30,000 mu of [Nongyou 82], and 20,000 mu of [Nanguang No. 5] in the cooperative's paddy fields.

所有稻种加一起的播种面积是8万亩，而育种中心的4万亩水田、新林农场的4万亩水田、以及阳山农场的6万亩水田，一共14万亩水田就闲置了下来。

We certainly couldn't waste it, so all 140,000 mu of paddy fields were planted with the [Nanguang No. 5] hybrid rice.

There's no other way. The company needs to adjust production levels to avoid stockpiling various seeds. This is the most scientific production method.

However, it cannot be said that the company has too many paddy fields, since all paddy fields will be used when large-scale rice cultivation is needed.

"Okay, I understand. Secretary, our rice seeds are ready for sale now, what do you say?"

"Okay, you can arrange it as you see fit."

Subsequently, Yaoling Agriculture's latest rice seeds began to be sold on the market. Compared with the previous season, the sales of various rice seeds produced this season were somewhat unsatisfactory.

The key issue is that our customers had too much inventory before, and there was also a lot of stock in the distribution sector.

Fortunately, Fang Wei reduced the rice seed production in time, so there was no backlog for the time being and most of the seeds could be sold.

Everyone admires Secretary Fang's ability to regulate production, because his judgment is very accurate. He can ensure the supply of various rice varieties without causing stockpiling, and maintain the popularity of several major rice varieties amidst fluctuations in production.

This is a technique that many people cannot learn.

“Secretary, now many farmers know about the cooperation model between Qianjin Township and us, and they are asking if they can follow this path in the future?”

At this point in time, the first generation of migrant workers have bravely left the land to work in relatively economically developed areas, such as Guangdong.

Some people from Yaoling Township also go out to work, but they are a minority. In contrast, it is different in other townships, where the income from working outside is much higher than that from farming at home.

Therefore, many people have begun to have the idea of ​​leaving the land, and the best model is the "Qianjin Township Model".

By entrusting their land to Yaoling Agriculture, the farmers are responsible for paying agricultural taxes and levies, while also receiving a fixed income. Whether they go out to work or stay in the area as farm laborers, they will have an additional source of income.

And this income is often much higher than what you would earn from farming.

Therefore, when Zhao Jinsheng and others went to purchase the newly harvested rice, many people inquired about land cooperation.

"This needs to be discussed carefully. Lao Zhao, you should think about this issue recently and then talk to everyone about it at the meeting."

Fang Wei did not immediately express his opinion. He knew that the "Qianjin Township Model" was more in line with the local situation, but such rapid expansion still made him hesitate.

Expansion can be slowed down, but external pressures are imminent.

He received some bad news these past few days: someone reported the Qianjin Township model and questioned the special treatment given to Yaoling agriculture by the region.

As expected, this is still quite upsetting.

"Secretary, I'll go back and communicate with the province right away. After all, ensuring the supply of [Nan Dou 333] soybean seeds is a requirement put forward by the higher authorities, and we have taken emergency measures."

Cai Tong rushed back to the provincial capital to explain the situation to the relevant authorities.

This kind of whistleblowing is disgusting. If you ignore it, it could escalate into a major incident. If you try to deal with it, you'll waste a lot of time and energy, and the outcome is unpredictable.

Given the current environment, with strict restrictions on land transfers, everyone in the company is on edge.

Of course, Yaoling Agriculture's situation is rather special. In order to ensure the smooth completion of key breeding work, the region has given the company special policies.

This demonstrates that the Qianjin Township model was not a deliberate violation of policy by the company, but rather a permitted production practice.

Two days later, Cai Tong called.

“Secretary, the situation is not good. The province has started discussing this matter, and most people are not on our side. I am worried that the province will revoke the regional document, and if that happens, we will be in a passive position.”

Cai Tong went to the provincial capital to lobby, but the news he received was not good.

If the province does indeed revoke the regional document, it means that the "Qianjin Township Model" is illegal and may be ordered to stop.

Then the company's new soybean breeding base will cease to exist, and it will have to compensate the farmers in the village with a large sum of money, resulting in incalculable losses.

"Mr. Cai, don't worry, I'll be right there."

Fang Wei also realized the complexity of the matter, and after hanging up the phone, he prepared to go to the provincial capital.

The current situation is that the province wants to make a fuss about this, so Yaoling Agriculture has no way to turn things around and can only suffer the losses with tears in its eyes.

In this situation, he, as the chairman of the company, could no longer remain passive and had to go to the provincial level to strive for a better outcome.

Fang Wei went home and brought some personal items, then called Pan Lianhua to let her know, and drove straight to the provincial capital.

When he arrived at Yaoling Building, Cai Tong and a group of company executives were waiting in the conference room.

"Enough with the small talk, everyone, please share your suggestions now."

After Fang Wei sat down, the meeting began.

Everyone offered their suggestions, but unfortunately, while these suggestions were good, they were not a quick fix.

Fang Wei gradually lost patience. He told everyone to continue the discussion, while he went to his office and called Wu Yaoyang's secretary, saying that he had something very important to discuss with his boss.

"Then come over now. The leader will have about half an hour later, so please make sure to hurry."

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

Wu Yaoyang is said to be about to retire to the second line, but as long as he is in office, he will always be so busy.

Fang Wei rushed to Wu Yaoyang's office, where Wu Yaoyang couldn't help but laugh upon seeing him. (End of Chapter)
