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

“Our factory cannot be completely classified as a township enterprise, because Yaoling Agriculture has established a modern enterprise system, so there is no contracting involved in its subsidiaries.”

Fang Wei made a definitive statement about the matter, saying that whether it was a contract or not had nothing to do with him.

None of these subsidiaries are losing money, and they are all doing quite well. There's no way outsiders could be expected to reap the benefits.

After the meal, the couple escorted Master Sun back home and then went for a walk.

They've always had a habit of taking a walk after meals, a habit they've maintained for so many years that it's become a part of their lives.

"Third Brother, the harvest season is almost here again. Are you going into the mountains to pick fruit again this year?"

It's still very hot, but walking along the river is quite refreshing.

Last time, when we went into the mountains to pick swan mushrooms, we did go to the herb cultivation base, but we didn't go to those wild forests.

"Let's talk about it later. The wild loquat forest has been damaged to some extent, but the yield of chestnuts and camellia seeds should be about the same as in previous years. I plan to take some people to pick herbs first, and then I'll call Songlin when I get back."

The two strolled around, chatting casually, and finally returned home after walking a long way.

He then called Wang Songlin and asked him to send some people to go into the mountains with him to collect medicinal herbs. Last time, he had also invited some young men from the Yao village to come and pick swan mushrooms, and he himself had earned tens of thousands of yuan.

This time, we called some of the princes to help, and they harvested a large batch of wild herbs in just a few days.

He then commissioned a herbal medicine processing plant to perform preliminary processing, and then sold it to several old clients, including Chenzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. After deducting processing fees and payments to his brothers, he still had a net income of over 6 yuan.

This year's harvest income was kept, since he and Pan Lianhua had already donated hundreds of thousands of yuan, and there was no need to make it too conspicuous.

Next, Fang Wei took some time to check out several wild forests and then set a date for the harvest.

Once the announcement was made, members responded enthusiastically, with the number of applicants several times higher than in the previous two years. In previous years, most people were unwilling to take risks and too lazy to earn that little bit of hard-earned money, but this year the situation is very different.

The main reason is that this year's disaster has caused some losses to many members' families.

Therefore, people have the desire to make money, even if it means taking some risks and enduring hardship.

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua didn't go into the mountains. With so many people signing up this year, they decided not to join the crowd. If they wanted wild chestnuts, they could buy some, and the same went for tea oil. They would just tell Zhang Chu and buy some for them.

"Lotus, I'll take advantage of this time to go to Fragrant Hills. I estimate I'll be back in about half a month."

Fang Wei hadn't gone far before because her two children were on summer vacation at home, but now it was time to go out and take a look around.

The target was naturally the electrical appliance group company. Other companies had daily oversight, but without his intervention, Cai Tong and the others couldn't control Zhang Wenyuan.

"Third brother, go ahead and do your thing. There's nothing much going on at home anyway."

Pan Lianhua smiled and nodded; she would never stop people from doing things like this.

the next day.

Fang Wei then took two people with him and drove to Fragrant Hills.

When I saw Zhang Wenyuan again, I could clearly feel that he had aged a bit. Perhaps it was because he had been worrying too much, as his temples were already somewhat gray.

"Old Zhang, is the work pressure too much? You don't look very good."

Upon arriving in Hong Kong, Zhang Wenyuan arranged a table for them.

While drinking, Fang Wei inquired about the other person's health.

"I'm alright. My stomach problems have flared up recently, so I haven't been eating or sleeping well, and I'm definitely feeling a bit down."

Zhang Wenyuan explained that he has a stomach problem and has been experiencing frequent stomach pains lately, so he is not in a good condition.

He doesn't like going to the hospital. When his stomach hurts, he just takes a couple of stomach medicine pills. As a result, his stomach problems keep recurring and bother him from time to time.

Fang Wei nodded. No wonder the other party refused to drink today; so that's what happened.

"Old Zhang, work is never-ending, but you still need to take care of your health. Um, why don't you take some time these next few days to go to Guangzhou to see a doctor and hear what they have to say? Don't take it lightly."

Fang Wei then offered a word of advice, to which Zhang Wenyuan gave a mumbled response.

Clearly, the other person didn't take their stomach problem seriously.

Next, Fang Wei began to inspect the work of various departments in the company, including the various factories.

He was very satisfied with the inspection results. After completing the shareholding system reform, the company's management became more and more standardized. It can be said that the company has established a complete corporate management system.

Subsequently, Fang Wei took Zhang Wenyuan directly to Guangzhou and had a comprehensive examination at the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

After a consultation with experts, a treatment plan combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine was proposed. In addition, Zhang Wenyuan was advised to maintain a regular diet and sleep schedule, and to quit smoking and drinking.

"Your stomach problem is quite serious, you can't take it lightly, you need to have regular check-ups in the future."

The doctor prescribed medicine for Zhang Wenyuan and then gave him a few instructions.

Fang Wei and Zhang Wenyuan left the hospital, and Zhang Wenyuan was clearly startled by his own condition. He hadn't realized before that stomach problems could have serious consequences, but now, after hearing the doctor's explanation, he dared not be careless.

"Old Zhang, don't worry too much. Just cooperate with the treatment and have regular check-ups, and you'll be fine. Also, whenever you have some free time, take some time to go back to the village and ask Master Sun to take a look at you."

“Okay, I’ll go back once every two months.” Zhang Wenyuan naturally knew of Master Sun’s reputation and felt that he should go and see the Taoist priest.

He then returned to Fragrant Hills, while Fang Wei stayed in Guangzhou.

He met with Wu Tianming, who knew the leaders of Yangcheng University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Wu Tianming took the opportunity to introduce Fang Wei to Wu Tianming, and the group even had a meal together.

During the summer vacation, Binbin expressed his desire to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Logically speaking, it should be easier to get into the postgraduate program at his own university, since there is a guaranteed admission route, and the probability of passing is also higher.

But Binbin wanted to continue his studies in Guangzhou, and it would be even more perfect if he could become an apprentice of a folk doctor from Lingnan.

Fang Wei then called Wu Tianming, who was indeed able to help.

“Secretary Fang, Principal Chu is a renowned doctor. If Binbin is able to come to Guangzhou to pursue his postgraduate studies, we would appreciate Principal Chu’s guidance.”

Chu Fan is the vice principal and has a good relationship with Wu Tianming.

He did not refuse Wu Tianming's invitation today, but he was somewhat resistant to some requests for special treatment.

As a result, Wu Tianming and Fang Wei didn't say anything, but only said that if Binbin could get into Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, they asked Chu Fan to give him some guidance.

"No problem, no problem, this is no problem at all."

As it turned out, they didn't make any unreasonable demands, and Chu Fan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He's not old-fashioned; he understands social dynamics. As long as the demands aren't excessive, he'd be willing to offer some assistance once his child gets into his university's graduate program.

The group then changed the subject, and the more they talked, the more they clicked. Chu Fan and Fang Wei also became acquainted.

Hearing that there was such a remarkable person as Master Sun in the countryside, Chu Fan immediately became interested. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes inheritance, and many masters are not necessarily found in large hospitals or universities; there are many in the folk tradition as well.

“Secretary Fang, I must meet this Taoist Master Sun when I have the chance in the future.”

The meal was a pleasant one for both host and guests. Before leaving, Chu Fan made a point of mentioning that he would visit Yaoling Township whenever he had some free time.

"Welcome, welcome! Principal Chu, just give us a call before you come to visit us."

The two shook hands, and Chu Fan got into his car and left.

Fang Wei and Wu Tianming went to a place for tea and chatted until very late before parting ways.

the next day.

Fang Wei then set off back to the village.

It was only on this long trip that I truly experienced the performance of this new car. The driving and riding experience was quite good, so it seems that changing cars was indeed necessary.

Back home, Fang Wei took some time to write an inspection report and then submitted it to the company's board of directors.

It's not just the electrical appliance group company; Yaoling Agriculture's management is also becoming more and more standardized.

"Third Brother, this harvest season is so lively! Everyone is eager to sign up to go into the mountains to pick herbs, and they accidentally discovered several rare medicinal herbs. It is said that these three wild herbs were thought to be extinct, but I didn't expect to find them in the Yao Mountains."

That same evening, Pan Lianhua told her sister not to cook, and the family drove to the county town and had a meal at their usual restaurant.

On the one hand, it was to welcome Fang Wei back, and on the other hand, it happened to be my older sister's birthday.

As they ate and drank, Pan Lianhua recounted an amusing incident from not long ago.

"Oh? Is that so? I'll have to go check on it tomorrow."

The discovered wild herbs have been transplanted to the forestry brigade's territory, and Fang Wei immediately became interested, planning to go and verify them tomorrow.

If these herbs are indeed endangered plants, he will definitely find a way to transplant them to the cultivation base.

After the family had eaten and drunk their fill, they returned home.

Today, the eldest sister is the happiest. Before coming to the Fang family, she had never celebrated her birthday, but since coming to the Fang family, her birthday has been arranged like this every year.

It's not about having a big celebration; just having a nice meal together as a family and having some fun is better than anything else.

The next day.

Fang Wei then went to the forestry brigade and saw the so-called endangered medicinal herbs in the understory planting area.

After careful examination by him and Master Sun, these herbs were determined to be rare and precious, and had never been found in the mountains before today.

Sun Daoren then went to the clinic, and Fang Wei, without saying a word, added these herbs to the list of key protected plants. They will be cultivated at the forestry brigade's location for now, and he will transplant these varieties of herbs to the mountains later.

His painstakingly established wild herb breeding base has saved many endangered species, and he will continue to do so in the future.

Few people know about that area of ​​wild herbs; only experienced herb gatherers have the potential to find it. As long as it's not harvested in an extermination-like manner, Fang Wei won't interfere.

After leaving the forestry brigade, he went to his office.

She was away for about ten days, but there wasn't much backlog of work, and she finished it all in just one morning. (End of Chapter)
